On January 31, Chinese New Year's Eve, the warm winter sun shone on the strawberry greenhouse. Stepping into the warm, spring-like greenhouse, rows of strawberries are in full bloom, and the red strawberries are "hiding" in the green leaves, looming and mouth-watering.
Villager Eating in the Strawberry Greenhouses
"I'm too busy, so I can only eat the dumplings in the strawberry greenhouse." Wang Xinlin, a big strawberry grower in Luosong Village, Yaojia Town, Zhongmu County, Henan Province, said a little shyly, "Now is the key season for strawberry picking, and the market demand The quantity is large and the price is high, in order to hurry up, we can only spend the New Year in a greenhouse.”
While eating dumplings, Wang Xinlin instructed others to pick them: "You can't pick very ripe ones. The ones that are half-ripe and slightly bluish-white at the tail are the best. They can be stored well and have a high sweetness."
"In the past few days, the temperature has warmed up, and the ripening speed of strawberries has accelerated. We must accelerate the picking." Wang Xinlin said, looking at the strawberries that were already ripe in the shed, "Tomorrow is the New Year, and the market demand is also very large. Seize the opportunity and sell a good one. Price."
Wang Xinlin has planted three strawberry greenhouses this year, and the "loverberry" and "guifei" planted are growing well. From November 2021 to June 2022, he can harvest a lot of crops. The three strawberry greenhouses can earn up to 130,000 yuan.
Luosong Village is a well-known local professional village for the cultivation of greenhouse watermelons and greenhouse strawberries. As early as 20 years ago, the watermelons of Luosong Village were sold in the surrounding cities because of their early maturity and high sweetness. In recent years, the village has vigorously advocated the development of greenhouse strawberry cultivation, which has changed the previous focus on greenhouse watermelons and ignored the potential opportunities in the strawberry market around the Spring Festival. Today, watermelons in greenhouses, strawberries in greenhouses, and two horse-drawn carriages are running side by side.

"In order to make the strawberries more sweet and delicious, the strawberries in the whole village are pollinated by bees to increase the brightness and sweetness of the strawberries, and improve the taste, quality and yield of the strawberries." Song Lulin, secretary of the village party branch, said, "I didn't expect that this year, this year The price of strawberries in China is so high, and the income of farmers has increased by a quarter compared with last year. First, thanks to the replacement of strawberry varieties, the second is the strengthening of technical force. There are specialized technical personnel and sales consultants in the village to raise seedlings, fertilize, plant, One-stop services such as picking and sales. Third, farmers can sell at a good price in the fields.”
Baskets of strawberries were shipped out of the greenhouse, and the buyers who were waiting on the road in the fields directly weighed, paid, and loaded the trucks. They could walk into the homes of citizens early the next morning and serve them on their dining tables.
Seeing the baskets of strawberries turned into smashing banknotes in the field, Song Lulin couldn't hide his joy: "Before and after the Spring Festival, it is the peak season for the sales of strawberries in greenhouses. Because of the continuous cloudy days in the previous stage, the daily output of strawberries is lower than in previous years. In the past few days, the quality of strawberries has been affected by the rise in temperature, and the shape and sweetness have improved, and the purchase price in the field has also stabilized at about 40 yuan per kilogram. There are more than 1,500 strawberries in 367 households in the village. In greenhouses, the average income of each strawberry greenhouse is more than 40,000 yuan, and some families have five or six greenhouses, and the income is 300,000 yuan.”
When the lights are on, the villagers are wearing headlamps and have been picking strawberries in the greenhouse. Wang Xinlin said, "The merchants haven't left yet. Let's pick them quickly so that the merchants can fill up their carts, earn money, and have a happy New Year."
In the greenhouse, farmers are packing red strawberries into boxes. On the road in the fields, merchants are anxiously waiting for the trucks to be shipped out. When the sun sets, the smell of dumplings permeates the greenhouse.
