Chapter 197 Dragon Fruit Shouldn’t Be Sour
Chapter 197 Dragon Fruit Shouldn’t Be Sour
The vineyard is very large and has many greenhouses.
One of their employees said that there were about twelve acres of land planted with five kinds of grapes, namely Early Purple Rose Grape, Summer Black Grape, Kyoho Grape, Red Globe Grape, and Beijing Amethyst.
Before going in to pick, you can try the fruits first to decide which one to pick.
After Su Jinjin and the others had eaten, they chose two, summer black grapes and red grapes.
Before cutting, the staff demonstrated to them how to avoid damaging the vines.
After they understand it, they can cut whichever string they like.
Each bunch of grapes in the shed is actually about the same size, very plump, and of good quality. A bunch may weigh one to two kilograms.
The small baskets they carried could probably only hold four or five pounds, or two or three strings.
So, they are not in a hurry to cut it.
I took a walk around first before taking action.
Ling Yun has been very excited since entering the shed, jumping up and down like a little monkey.
Su Jinjin told him to be careful and not to sprain his ankle.
After he nodded in agreement, he was still very noisy.
Because she had been with Cheng Guyu for a long time, Su Jinjin subconsciously felt that children aged four or five were all as quiet and cute as Cheng Guyu.
Taking care of Ling Yun for the past few days has broken her thoughts. Fortunately, although Ling Yun is naughty, he is still willing to listen most of the time.
Half an hour later, the small baskets they were carrying were filled with grapes.
It weighs 21.5 kilograms.
The boss applied 1.5 kilograms of cream to them and paid them two hundred yuan.
After leaving the vineyard, continue forward to the dragon fruit cultivation base.
They rode electric bikes and arrived in a quarter of an hour.
At the entrance of the orchard, there is a large beverage shop that specializes in making desserts and drinks made with dragon fruit.
Su Jinjin and the others went in and ordered some food.
Honey-pickled dragon fruit balls, dragon fruit taro balls with sago, and dragon fruit juice.
The taste is very refreshing.
However, the dragon fruits here all have red flesh. After they ate them, some fruit color stained their mouths, which looked a bit funny.
After tasting the dessert made from dragon fruit, Su Jinjin and the others entered the base.
The dragon fruit cultivation base here is very large and covers a large area. According to the staff, it is a full 600 acres.
They not only produce dragon fruit, but also plan garden activities and receive tourists.
Dragon fruit needs a lot of light to grow. Lights are turned on in the base at night. The scenery is spectacular when viewed from a high vantage point, which has attracted many tourists, so we have developed a recreational project.
The beverage shop at the entrance of the orchard mainly serves tourists. It did not exist before. There was only a large warehouse for storing the picked dragon fruits.
After listening to the staff's introduction, Su Jinjin and the others also thought of visiting here in the evening.
If they don't see any fireflies when broadcasting live in the fields at night, they can come here.
Now is the time for dragon fruit harvest. When Su Jinjin and his friends arrived at the dragon fruit picking site, they found a large group of workers working.
Su Jinjin asked the staff: "Shall we go over there to pick them too?"
The workers had picked the dragon fruit field, and there were only some small fruits that were still developing on the outside. Su Jinjin asked the staff if they wanted to go inside.
"You don't have to go over there." The staff smiled and pointed to another place: "You pick it over there. We have specially designated an area for tourists to experience the fun of picking dragon fruit."
Su Jinjin asked: "Are we also considered tourists if we come during the day? But we didn't pay for the entrance fee."
The staff member said: "You don't need a ticket at night, you can come in at will. Our boss mainly wants to sell dragon fruit. Every tourist who comes here will buy our dragon fruit, so the sales volume is quite high."
Su Jinjin nodded in understanding.
Mature dragon fruits are very large, and one dragon fruit weighs nearly one kilogram.
The staff provided a basket, and after they filled it up, there were only 15.
After weighing, it weighed 9 jin.
If you come to the base to pick dragon fruit, one pound costs one yuan, and a basket of them costs nine yuan.
Su Jinjin was shocked. She didn't expect it to be so cheap.
When they paid, the staff also told them how to eat the desserts they had just eaten in the beverage shop.
Su Jinjin asked sincerely: "Won't you lose money if you sell it so cheaply? You even told us how to make dragon fruit in your beverage shop."
"No, our boss is very rich and has several luxury cars to drive." The staff member smiled playfully and said, "Our salaries have increased recently."
Well, I was worrying too much. Capitalists will not do business at a loss, Su Jinjin thought.
After leaving the dragon fruit cultivation base, they returned home.
After bringing the fruit home, Ms. Bai Mengyan, who was watching TV, was shocked: "Why did you buy so much? If we can't finish it, it will rot."
Teng Yiyi sat down next to her and said, "No, it will be solved soon. There are so many people. We can eat a little tonight and a little tomorrow, and it will be done."
Bai Mengyan thought about it and agreed. If all else fails, she could just make some fruit tea.
"Where is my dad?" Not seeing Comrade Su Beian, Su Jinjin asked Bai Mengyan.
"Your dad? He's sleeping. He gets sleepy in the afternoon and has nothing to do, so he goes to sleep."
Knowing where the person was, Su Jinjin didn't ask any more questions.
After Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun drank a few glasses of water at the water dispenser, Cheng Guyu poured a glass and handed it to Su Jinjin.
This thoughtful gesture made Su Jinjin's heart soften: "Wow, thank you, you are so kind."
Bai Mengyan looked at him and praised him: "How come our Guyu is so sensible? He even pours water for his mother. You are so great. You are worthy of being a member of our Su family."
Cheng Guyu, who is usually calm, felt embarrassed by her praise.
Teng Yiyi, who was standing by, looked at Su Jinjin with envy: "Guyu is so nice. He was worried that you were thirsty and even poured water for you. No one poured water for me."
After finishing speaking, Teng Yi glanced at Ling Yun who was still standing next to the water dispenser, waved to him and said, "Ling Yun, hurry up and pour me a glass of water, or I'll be so jealous."
"Ah?" Ling Yun asked doubtfully, "Are the grapes we picked sour?"
Teng Yiyi: ...
How to say this?
Su Jinjin raised the cup and took a sip of water, and almost spit out the water in her mouth.
Ling Yun's train of thought was so cute that she wanted to laugh.
Ling Yun didn't quite understand the adults' reactions.
"Isn't it grapes? Dragon fruit shouldn't be sour, right?"
"Hahahaha..." Su Jinjin couldn't hold it in any longer: "Lingyun, don't worry about whether she's sour or not, just pour her a glass of water."
Ling Yun touched the back of his head, said "Oh", then took a paper cup and filled it with water for Teng Yi.
When the water was brought to him, Teng Yi sighed and took it: "Thank you, little friend."
Ling Yun smiled with his big white teeth bared: "You're welcome~"
