Next to the strawberry field, there were two baskets. Jiang Yue estimated that she could fill two of those baskets by today.

“This can be picked. In the future, we can pluck some everyday or every few days, and we can keep doing this for a period of time until there are no more strawberries to pick.”

The family had breakfast early, so they also came early to pluck the strawberries.

Some people who went to work in the field saw the two children picking strawberries. Some people curiously checked up on them. They saw that they were fine after eating a lot of strawberries the day before yesterday and nodded.

“On the surface, this fruit looks like a raspberry, but I guess it’s different. That berry isn’t as round…” Someone said, “Didn’t Chunmei fight with the village chief’s wife for this before? Even if it was a berry, it definitely would not have been a raspberry I can tell you that. Apparently I heard from a friend that heard from another friend that raspberries have small white flowers and yellow stamens. The flowers are yellow, and the stamens are also yellow. The kids even told me that they were going to call this berry a strawberry. Now, everyone will be able to distinguish it in the future. By the way, do you think it’s delicious?”

“You can have a taste.” Jiang Yue overheard the adults and spoke up.

“But your family wants to sell it for money…” Those people were embarra.s.sed to have a taste. They knew that the Xue family was planning to sell it.

“It’s fine.”

Someone couldn’t resist picking two and tasting them, and they all said they were delicious.

Some people were still embarra.s.sed to pick them, so Jiang Yue walked over and grabbed some from the basket for these people and placed them in their hands. Those who had a taste said it was delicious. It had a thin skin and plenty of meat, it even tasted sweet and sour at the same time.

“I heard from Guixia that the black spots on the fruit may be seeds, and she will save the seeds for next year. If the seedlings really grow well, we can ask their family for a few plants to harvest on our own. We don’t need to plant them in our lands, but we can plant them in our homes.”

“That’s right.” Many people agreed.

When these people left, Jiang Yue saw that Xue Yan was still bending over to pick strawberries, so she asked, “Do you want to take a break?”

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

Since he came back from the town without finishing his education, he has done whatever he can to help the family. As the days went by, he found that his health had significantly improved compared to his last life.

Before, he would always feel a little tired after doing some manual work. Now, he could freely pluck the strawberries and still not feel tired yet.

“It was just a little uncomfortable to keep bending over. I can now better understand how a farmer’s hunched back comes about.”

Jiang Yue stood in the middle of the strawberry field, looked around, and said, “There are more and more ripe strawberries showing. Next time I guess we can ask someone to help pick them as well.”

They planted 8,000 seedlings in this acre of land, and one of them could bear eight pieces of fruit. This would mean that they would produce about 64,000 pieces of strawberries.

Even if it is divided into several days, it will be difficult for the two of them to pick it all.

“Yeah.” Xue Yan realized the amount and nodded willingly. “There are a lot of hardworking people in the village. Whenever we need someone, we can spend money to ask a few ladies around to help pick them together.”

“Sure.” Jiang Yue had no objection.

When they had picked all the strawberries that could be picked today, Jinshan walked over and asked, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, have you finished your task? I’m going to the town to deliver ice soon. If not, you will have to wait for the next ox cart to bring your strawberries to the stall.”
