Next to the strawberry field, there are two baskets.

Jiang Yue estimated that she could pick two shallow baskets today.

This can be picked. In the future, it can be picked every day or every few days, and it can be picked for a period of time until there are no more strawberries to pick.

The breakfast at home was early, and they came early, and they have already picked a lot of them and put them in the back basket.

Some people went to work in the fields and watched their two children pick strawberries in the fields. Some people came to see them out of curiosity. They also heard that they ate a lot of strawberries the day before yesterday and they were fine.

"On the surface, this fruit looks really like a snakeberry, but it does seem different. The snakeberry fruit is so round..." Someone said, "Didn't Chunmei compete with the village chief's daughter-in-law about this before, I see, in fact It's not a thing, even if it's a thing, it's another kind of snakeberry. I found out that this snakeberry with small white yellow stamens bears this kind of fruit, that kind of flower is yellow, and the stamen is also yellow. It's the kind of round fruit. It can be called strawberry, and everyone will distinguish it from now on. By the way, Xiaoyan, Yuebao, this is really delicious, isn't it?"

"You can have a taste." Jiang Yue said.

"This is what your family wants to sell..." Those people were embarrassed to taste it. They have all heard that they are going to send it to the town to sell.

Jiang Yue: "It's okay."

Some people couldn't help but pick two to try, and they all said they were delicious.

Some people were still embarrassed to pick it, so Jiang Yue walked over and grabbed some from the basket for these people. These people also tasted it, and they all said it was delicious, with thin skin and lots of meat, sweet and sour.

Someone even said: "I heard from Aunt Guixia that the black spots on this fruit may be seeds, and she will keep the seeds. If the seedlings do emerge, we will ask them to plant a few plants, we don't have any extra. It’s okay to grow these things on a small piece of land and try it at home.”

"Yes, yes." Many people agreed.

Until these people left, Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan, who was still bent over picking strawberries, "Would you like to take a break?"

Xue Yan finally straightened up, shook his head, and said no.

Since he came back from town without studying, he can do whatever he can to help the family. As time goes by, he finds that his health is better than this time in his previous life.

Before, he felt a little tired before doing it for a while. Now, he has bent down and picked it for a while, and it feels okay, not tired yet.

It's just that it's a little uncomfortable to keep bending over.

Naturally, I can better understand how hard it is for the peasants to face the loess and turn their backs to the sky.

Jiang Yue stood in the middle of the strawberry field, looked around, and said, "There are more and more red ones. Next time, I guess someone will help you pick them."

They planted 8,000 seedlings on this acre of land, each of which could yield 80 taels. At that time, even if they passed it, they would yield about 6,000 catties of strawberries in total.

Six thousand catties, even if it is divided into several days, it will be difficult for the two of them to finish picking.

"Yeah." Xue Yan also knew, and nodded naturally. "There are many diligent aunts in the village. When I need someone, I will pay a few aunts to help pick them together."

"Well." Jiang Yue had no opinion.

When they had picked all the strawberries that could be picked today, He Jinshan also came, strode over and asked, "Xiaoyan, Yuebao, have you picked them yet? I'm going to deliver ice to the town. If not, you will have to wait for the next ox cart to bring your strawberries to the stall."
