Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Xu Wanning handed over the notebook with both hands. After Teacher Jin read it over, she said: "Actually, there are rapeseed and green vegetables planted in the greenhouse, but they are all dead."

"I summed up my experience. The easier it is to grow, the less suitable it is for greenhouse cultivation. In addition..."

Xu Wanning told Teacher Jin all the results of her analysis.

Teacher Jin nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Not bad, not bad. Your progress can help us avoid many detours."

"In addition to the delicious taste of cucumbers and tomatoes, Wan Ning, do you think we can grow any fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse in winter?"

Greenhouse planting was first proposed because of off-season planting.

We overcame some problems last year, but the fruits and vegetables grown were basically not edible.

Although summer is approaching, the success of cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants still gives Teacher Jin hope.

If their greenhouses can grow fruits and vegetables out of season this winter, this epoch-making progress will definitely add to their resume.

Xu Wanning said truthfully: "I can't 100% guarantee that it will be possible, but I will continue to work hard, and I will tell you any discoveries and results as soon as possible."

After class in the afternoon, Xu Wanning did not rush home. Instead, she went to the Uni-President Snack Shop first.

Yang Kai returned to the farm in the morning and came over with a cart of strawberries at noon.

Yang Rong and others didn't know what these strawberries were used for, so they stored them in the warehouse on the first floor.

Xu Wanning washed a bowl of strawberries and asked Yang Rong to deliver some to the boutique next door, while the rest were shared among them.

Looking at the red strawberries in the basin and exuding an attractive smell, they wanted to taste one.

But no one dared to take it.

Strawberries are already expensive, not to mention that these strawberries are so big and beautiful, so they must be even more expensive.

They are reluctant to eat.

Xu Wanning took a few pills and stuffed one into each person's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

"too delicious!"

"This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious strawberries. They are not sour at all!"

"This is the first time I have eaten strawberries in my life. It tastes exactly as I imagined!"

After eating one, Xu Wanning invited everyone to eat again, and everyone took another one. After that, no matter what Xu Wanning said, no one was willing to take it.

"Wan Ning, are these strawberries going to be sold?"

"Yes. I want to sell a batch first to test the waters. If the sales are good, we can grow more strawberries in the farm."

Strawberries are delicate and have high requirements for the growing environment. However, once you master the core technology of growing strawberries, it is easy to grow delicious strawberries.

Even for Xu Wanning, compared to apples, which require large orchards, the investment cost of strawberries is relatively small.

Not only the economic cost, but also the labor cost.

But Chinese people have always had a preconceived notion that strawberries are expensive.

Even in later generations, greenhouse cultivation technology became more and more sophisticated, greenhouse strawberries began to proliferate, and the price of strawberries has remained high.

Out-of-season strawberries in winter can sell for fifty or sixty yuan per pound. These are ordinary varieties. If they are new varieties like cream strawberries, the price will only be higher.

April and May are the seasons for eating strawberries, and strawberries are generally sold for about fifteen yuan.

For people in the 1980s, the word "strawberry" alone was enough to associate it with expensiveness.

"Wan Ning, how do we sell our strawberries? How much does it cost per pound?"

There are college students nearby, and the prices are too expensive, so few people are willing to spend money to buy them.

But it was sold too cheap, and I didn’t think it was a good deal.

So what Xu Wanning wanted to do was to sell it individually.

"Selling individually? Selling a single strawberry individually?"

"Yes." Xu Wanning said: "Strawberries are different in size and are divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. The small ones are five cents each, the medium ones are eight cents, and the large ones are ten cents each."

It costs five cents to ten cents to buy a strawberry. Although it is not cheap, most people choose to buy one to taste it, so that they know what a strawberry tastes like.

"But how to distinguish between large, medium and small?"

Xu Wanning took out a cardboard, drew three strawberries of different sizes on the cardboard, and cut out the pieces of paper with a knife.

"We put a strawberry basket and this cardboard at the door. Customers who want to buy take a strawberry from the basket and compare the three sizes on the cardboard. For example, this one, I think it should be medium-sized. I put it in the hole in the middle. If it can fall, it is a medium fruit. If it cannot fall, it is a large fruit."

"Strawberries are delicate and can break if accidentally touched, so be sure to make it clear to everyone that once you choose, they will not be returned or exchanged. If someone damages the strawberries intentionally, the price of the big fruit will be 10 cents a piece. Buy it.”

As for whether to throw it away after buying it or eat it yourself, that's not up to them.

"Don't we need to separate in advance?"

Xu Wanning shook his head: "Firstly, strawberries are delicate, and they are prone to collision when touched, and it is difficult to store them if they are broken. Secondly, even if you divide them well, customers will be picky and think that they are not buying big or medium fruits. .”

"In order to avoid wasting time and quarreling over this kind of thing, let's let customers make their own choices."

The size of the paper plate was not drawn randomly by Xu Wanning, but she drew it based on the size of the batch of strawberries. She had a clear conscience.

"Then when should we start selling?"

Xu Wanning raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was only half past five.

She was about to say she would try to sell something today when she heard someone calling the door outside.

Snack shops generally do not do business in the afternoon, so they will close after the Chinese food is sold out.

The door is also closed at this moment.

Yang Rong opened the door, looked at the seven or eight female classmates standing at the door, and said, "Sorry, our snack shop is closed in the afternoon. If you want to have a meal, you can wait until noon tomorrow."

"No, no, no, we're not here to eat."

"It's like this. We were shopping at the boutique next door and we found some shop owners eating strawberries. They looked really delicious, so we casually asked where we bought them. They said you should sell them here."

When she went over to deliver strawberries just now, Yang Rong said that Xu Wanning brought the strawberries.

So Tang Ting and the others naturally thought that strawberries would be sold next door, so they warmed them up in advance.

Yang Rong said hurriedly: "Yes, we do sell strawberries here, and they were just picked and delivered, so they are fresh. Wait a moment, I will go get the strawberries."
