It's a good time for strawberries to come out. In recent days, 16 strawberry huts have flourished in the sunshine in the community of the eastern slopes of the fonry street in lolong district, loyang city. It was warm and melted, full of red strawberries covered in fields, and workers were bending to pick them。
For a while now, lee ae-jin's forehead has dazzled and his hands are still light. After a full basket, she and her worker put strawberries in the transport box, each one containing five baskets. "the strawberry is so precious that you can't touch it, otherwise it's bad and it's bad for the sale." lee ae-jin said。
Lee ai-jin and the workers are both residents of the east slope community and are now employed at home. They arrived in the shed at 6 a. M. Each morning, and after four hours of busy work, more than 200 strawberries picked in the morning will be sent to the stores of loyang. In the afternoon, they will return to the shed again to examine yellow leaves and to remove deformities that are poor. "70 bucks a day, enough for the day." everyone is satisfied with this work, “since the birth of the baby in april/may, there has been more work than leisure at home”
Next to this, the strawberry garden manager, liu bao guo, is putting up his handler and walking in the shed, "look, we're so big and sweet, and welcome to bring the kids to pick up!" he speaks freely and from time to time stops to interact with his friends。
The liu bao state has multi-year strawberry cultivation experience, where 40 acres were contracted this year for nearly 10 strawberry varieties, such as ningyu, topaz and phoenix crowns, in view of the outlook for the winter and sub-season strawberry market. Early this month, strawberries began to come on the market, and it is expected that two harvests will continue until next april/may, with an acre production of about 3,000 pounds。
“the current sales situation is good, with the main supply being to businesses in loyang and the surrounding districts. And we tried to do the live feed, but it wasn't professional, but it worked really well." according to liu, every weekend, a large number of citizens come to pick up, and even attract tourists from xiegen and tsukawa。
Strawberry cultivation appears to be simple and cumbersome to manage. Liu bao described pest control as key, especially fungi infections, as well as weather and temperature impacts. The successive rains and low temperatures this fall have resulted in an overall delay of about 20 days in the marketing of strawberries compared to previous years. "you see, this shed was planted only a week later than the others, and it's just blooming, and the other sheds are already on the market." he pointed to a shed next to him。
Despite its many years of experience in planting, liu bao has maintained a learning mentality and has frequently brought professional technicians to the park for guidance. At the same time, strawberry gardens needs to be staffed for four seasons a year, with a peak of 20 or 30 jobs for the surrounding population。
At the moment, a modern shed with nearly three acres of land has been built in the strawberry garden, and liu bao intends to use it next year for the tall strawberries. “brained with organic earth, the strawberry layer is placed on the shelf, tiles are laid on the floor, and the environment is cleaner and more scientific. Consumers pick and become more immersed, and they find it more fresh and interesting.” he seems confident about the next step。
