Chapter 11: Picking strawberries, villagers apologize

 Shi Hongmao glanced at Jiang Fan in surprise. Farmers usually eat fruits and vegetables that do not use pesticides themselves, or provide them specially.

Jiang Fan hired him to work, and the strawberries grew so fast. If they did grow, they would definitely be sold.

Nowadays, it is good to ensure that the fruits sold are free of pesticide residues. Fruits that are completely free of pesticides must be specially supplied.

He couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Fan, have you found a market? Are you supplying it specifically to the rich?"

"No! I plan to sell goods live."

Shi Hongmao hesitated and said: "There are fewer pesticides and insect pests, and the yield is high."

"Don't worry about this. It grows so fast, so just reduce the output!"

"Okay, you are the boss and you make the decision yourself."

Shi Hongmao thought about the growth of these strawberries and stopped trying to persuade them.

"Go back and rest first!"

"By the way, Uncle Hongmao, don't leak what's going on here. When we succeed, we will discuss how to cooperate."

This is what Shi Hongmao was waiting for, Shan Dantou said: "Then you work first and come back tomorrow."

"Go and get it."

After spraying Liushen toilet water to prevent mosquitoes, Jiang Fan started to work. This work was tedious but not tiring.

Two hours later, the expected flower bones appeared.

The first buds to appear were the two ridges that grew the fastest. Although the leaves were light green in color, they did not die and instead bloomed.

From this moment on, flowers began to grow in other ridges.

When the third uncle came to take over, the strawberry plant that was the first to grow flowers bloomed.

The third uncle exclaimed: "I guessed it would bloom today, and I was right, but it's a pity that there is something wrong with these two ridges!"

Including flowers, there are obviously fewer flower bones than other ridges. You can tell at a glance that this is a lack of nutrition.

"The purpose of my experimental field is to find the appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer."

Jiang Fan handed the diary in his hand to his third uncle, and then said: "This is the form I made. You have to record the flowering time and fruit bearing time."

"Just fill it out according to the form."

"By the way, artificial pollination is required when the flowers bloom."

"I have prepared the pollination brushes a long time ago, and they are right there in the rest shed."

That resting shed is used to provide shade from the sun and rain. After all, people can’t be exposed to the sun all the time.

The third uncle looked at the form made by Jiang Fan and found that he could understand it. He nodded and said, "No problem, you can go back and rest!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Jiang Fan left and went back to rest.

After a good sleep, Jiang Fan took a few pots of hot water and a few buckets of instant noodles and headed to the strawberry field, regardless of whether it was time to change his shift.

As soon as I arrived at the strawberry field, I saw Shi Hongmao pollinating the flowers.

Shi Hongmao felt someone coming, looked back and said, "The boss is here!"

"The two ridges of melons that grew the fastest are the ones with the most fruit, but the leaves have all turned yellow."

"And it's very weird. The yellow leaves keep growing up and falling off."

"Some leaves fall off before they are fully grown, and some leaves fall off when they are fully grown."

"It feels weird."

"It's nothing weird. I'm just sick. You don't need to worry about it. Just water and pollinate as usual." Jiang Fan said casually.

It was originally a controlled experiment, so it is normal for problems to arise.

His current goal is to find out the appropriate amount of fertilizer. As for the strawberry plants that grow too fast and cause problems, he only needs to record the data. He is not interested in delving into the reasons.

Before Shi Hongmao could take over, the two fastest-growing strawberry plants died.

Jiang Fan recorded the time of death and ignored it.

On the fifth day, when Uncle San came to take over, Jiang Fan was already picking strawberries.

Seeing the strawberries placed in the rest shed, he picked one up, washed it with water and started eating it.

A bit astringent and not very tasty.

Jiang Fan picked a bag full of strawberries. When he came back, he saw that his third uncle was already eating. He couldn't help but said, "Uncle San, why are you just starting to eat!"

“There’s obviously something wrong with this fruit!”

"If you eat it bad, you'll be in trouble."

The third uncle waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and said: "This fruit is not good, it is small, astringent, and not delicious."

"Uncle Third, if you feel anything is wrong, call 120 immediately, and nothing will happen."

"What could happen?"

Although he said this, Jiang Heng did not go back immediately. Instead, he pollinated and picked with his third uncle.

He was worried that something would happen to his third uncle because there was no one around him.

Four hours passed, and after seeing that Uncle San had no adverse symptoms, Jiang Fan went back.

On the sixth day, Jiang Fan appeared in the strawberry field on time.

What surprised Jiang Fan was that besides Shi Hongmao, there were three people surrounding him, and they were pointing at the strawberry field.

After seeing Jiang Fan coming, one of them shouted to Jiang Fan: "Jiang Fan is here!"

"Your strawberry looks good!"

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Originally, the three of them came to see the excitement, but they didn't expect that the strawberries were bearing fruit and were ready for picking.

This scared them quite a bit.

Jiang Fan carefully identified it and asked: "Uncle Ying?"

"Yeah, we just met a few days ago."

Jiang Fan nodded and said: "Yes, I remember."

He didn't know many people in the village, and he didn't even recognize everyone in the same room (the same Taizu.), let alone the others.

This is also the current situation in modern rural areas. After all, young people either stay and study or go out to work. It is normal not to know people.

Uncle Ying looked stiff and a little embarrassed, but he still had the courage to ask: "What's wrong with your strawberry?"

The strawberries here take about two months from germination to fruiting. Jiang Fan was able to collect them in just six days.

This speed is more than ten times faster.

The ripe strawberries in the field are not small, they are bigger than those in the village strawberry garden.

The most important thing is to grow quickly!

It will only take six days to pick.

Think about the time it takes someone to plant one crop. He planted ten crops here, and the fruits are quite big. Then Jiang Fan made a lot of money from the strawberries he planted!

Jiang Fan did not hide anything and explained: "I use the most advanced strawberry planting technology in the world. Now I am doing an experimental field. I need to improve the planting method to adapt to the environment here."

Uncle Ying is not interested in any experiments or improvements. He only knows that this is the most advanced technology in the world. This technology can make strawberries grow ten times faster.

He looked at Jiang Fan and asked shamelessly: "Jiang Fan, can you teach Uncle Ying this technique?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and said: "It's still in the experimental stage now, let's talk about it after the experiment is over!"

"Brother Fan, I spread the news that you came back to plant strawberries, and I apologize to you now."

Uncle Ying bent down ninety degrees and said sincerely: "I'm sorry."

The two middle-aged men next to them also bent down and said: "We also participated in spreading the news, I'm sorry."

Uncle Ying is smart, and they are not stupid either. This is an opportunity to make money!
