Chapter 960: Brotherly Love

The two children whispered to each other, each with their own thoughts, while Song Tan unhurriedly arranged the things one by one. At this moment, she took two steps back: "Qiao Qiao, come and cut the strawberries."

Yang Zhengxin saw Song Tan open the box and volunteered: "I'll do it, I'll do it! Actually, you don't need to be so meticulous. I see the people in the strawberry exhibition area didn't even remove the stems... Ah? You're really cutting them?"

Qiao Qiao was already holding the small fruit knife in her hand.

Hearing this, she looked at him puzzled: "They have to be cut. Our white strawberries are so big, if we don't cut them, there won't be enough to eat."

There were only four boxes in total. These teachers definitely wouldn't just eat one each; if they didn't cut them, there really might not be enough. Qiao Qiao looked worriedly at the large group of people gathered in front—

Is it possible that the teachers aren't allowed to eat?

Yang Zhengxin didn't speak.

A brother is a good brother, it's just that his way of doing things is truly not grand. But Dad said, others' stinginess isn't necessarily an inherent miserliness; it could be that their family background is thin... Sigh, it seems Qiao Qiao's family is indeed having a hard time!

But since they could pass the preliminary selection, it proves that their farming still has a standard. Should I buy some for the New Year this year...

Just as he was thinking this, a rich, sweet fragrance that was like both strawberries and yellow peaches seemed like a little hand, gently and softly resting on his nose.

And this pure strawberry aroma clearly made Yang Zhengxin unable to move his feet again.

Then...

"Sister, do you think my market research just now was done well?"

Yang Zhengxin subconsciously took two deep breaths, then cast his gaze toward Qiao Qiao, his face full of shock: "Good heavens! Why is your family's strawberry so fragrant? Just this aroma alone is enough to win an award!"

"It will be even more delicious to eat!"

"That's research!" Yang Zhengxin pointed to the steamed buns and thin pancakes she put into the box, his expression extremely sincere: "These are the most delicious among the several types of flour we have, really!"

Qiao Qiao looked: "Let's not cut this one, right? If we keep cutting, it'll be too small, it's not proper."

His words weren't exaggerated; it was a true and genuine feeling. After all, what kind of strawberries hadn't he eaten at home? But never had there been a fruit whose mere drifting aroma could instantly stick to all his thoughts.

So, so fragrant!

Qiao Qiao smiled, deliberately teasing him: "Is that market research? Didn't you go begging for food?"

Once, a super delicious strawberry was promised in front of him, but he didn't cherish it! If Heaven gave him another chance, he would say—

The size of the "True Red Zhenhong Meiling" was much smaller than the "Snow Rabbit" which could reach 50g at most. Now, each one was about 20 or 30 grams, but the color was red to the point of being white, and it was packed in a special strawberry box, making it look exceptionally high-end.

Yang Zhengxin was going crazy! He held the pitiful strawberry leaf stem in his hand and walked to Qiao Qiao's side at this moment:

"Exactly! Economic crops, economic crops, economy is still before crops! Without sales channels, why would farmers plant them?"

This time it was Qiao Qiao's turn to get anxious: "That's my sister! I can't share it with you!"

"Sister! Dear sister! Please! I really want to eat that strawberry!"

"You say that, but the preferred choice selected the year before last ended up failing to sell at auction, and who was the one cursing and swearing at the end?"

Qiao Qiao covered the cut ones with plastic wrap one by one, while Yang Zhengxin paced back and forth on the side, his hand reaching out again and again, wanting to sneak a piece of radish to eat, but Song Tan wouldn't give him any.

"The winter melon cultivated by their family is also okay; the size is small, but the yield is not low, making it convenient for storage and trading..."

"No." Qiao Qiao quickly stopped him: "Peel the radish and cut it into circles; if you cut it into shreds, it's not easy for people to taste."

She thought for a moment and then instructed: "Cut the chili peppers if they need to be cut. Later, smash a few heads of garlic, mix it with the vegetable leaves, and roll it into the pancakes and steamed buns."

He sighed, finally waiting for the judges to come toward the exhibition area.

Take another look.

Then there was no then.

Looking at the things on the table again, he continued to ask: "Should I cut the sweet potatoes? Should I peel the green vegetables leaf by leaf? Should I cut the chili peppers?"

"One by one, I brought them here to taste the flavor, who told them to sell!"

—This brotherly love turned against them too quickly.

Why is it so delicious, ah ah ah!

Yang Zhengxin almost stomped his feet in anxiety!

But Song Tan had already started to be wary of him. At this moment, she covered the box: "This can't be eaten, this isn't cut, if you eat it, there won't be enough."

"Alright, alright, don't forget the original intention of us setting up this award. Sales channels can be considered, but don't consider them in your scoring."

Yang Zhengxin was also unwilling: "Just now I said you were my brother and you were still reluctant—Sister, please!"

He didn't even cut the fruit, planning to protect Qiao Qiao well, but was pushed back by Qiao Qiao with a smile: "Cover the cut strawberries with plastic wrap."

Song Tan became proud. At this moment, she glanced at Qiao Qiao, who was tidying up the pile of staple food, and then hurriedly picked one from the box and handed it to Yang Zhengxin:

Yang Zhengxin almost piously stretched out both hands to hold the big strawberry. The white strawberry, red seeds, the whole thing slightly brought out a pink luster. And he gently pinched the emerald green leaf stem, only willing to use his front teeth to carefully bite off the tip...

Qiao Qiao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fine, fine, fine! I know, I know, when we get home, we'll mail you a box of strawberries."

The exhibition area closest to them hadn't participated in the review yet, so don't affect other people's scoring.

"It's not that convenient either. It's better to cut it into circles and sell it. After the winter melon skin is damaged, it rots too quickly, and long-distance transportation inevitably leads to bumps... At this price point, it's not worth it..."

And Qiao Qiao finished cutting the "Saga Snow Rabbit," and at this moment, looking at the "True Red Zhenhong Meiling" in a full circle, she asked: "Should I cut this or not?"

"Oh..." Qiao Qiao dragged out a long tone: "Then thank you, Little Yang."

But after this afternoon's tossing, and tasting various raw ingredients directly, they were truly withered like yellow leaves in a basket.

"Yes, I remember that seed company. Didn't they auction our No. 3 Golden Sweet Potato last year? They are still quite confident in highlighting advantages."

"Alright!" Song Tan rubbed her hands: "I'll cut the radish first—can I cut it into shreds now?" She had to stir-fry shredded radish at noon.

As they chatted, the sub-district person in charge and staff members following outside, as well as various major media outlets, were all crowding and moving together.

So strange.

Song Tan held the small knife and was stunned. At home, it was either cousin or cousin, either teacher or teacher. She had never seen anyone call a sister so humbly.

And at this moment, several judges were still commenting on Area 8: "That small celery is not bad, straight, thin and long, enough moisture and few fibers, quite good."

"Celery is not bad, but the advantage isn't obvious. It's best to optimize it for two or three years before looking."

He said it considerately, but Qiao Qiao became annoyed: "Sorry, brother, it's all my fault for pinching snowballs and putting them randomly last night."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Chuan was quite carefree: "If it hadn't cracked, I might not have been willing to make popsicles... Tasted it, it's very delicious."
