When Zeng Yaozu put the strawberry into his mouth and took a bite, his eyes immediately widened in surprise.

He chewed twice and then exclaimed, "This is the best strawberry I've ever eaten."

Xiao Lingyu's eyes lit up when she heard that. She asked with a smile, "Young Master Zeng, it sounds like you've tasted many kinds of strawberries before."

"I have!" Zeng Yaozu said, "I have eaten all the top ten varieties of strawberries, for example, Fengxiang, Hongyan, Nufeng, Gui Nu Gan, and so on. They are fresh, red, and tender. The taste is slightly sour, sweet, and has a hint of fragrance. People love them.

"However, after having your strawberry, even though it is not ripe yet, it is already better than all those strawberries! The size is huge, and the taste is amazing. Boss, how did you grow your strawberries? How can they be so delicious? They are simply the best. The taste is super sweet and fragrant. It leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips, and the aftertaste is endless!"

After saying that, he turned to study the strawberry field. He narrowed his eyes. "But this is strange. I don't think I've seen this strawberry variety before."

Xiao Lingyu didn't understand strawberries. She bought the strawberry seeds at random at the seed station. After that, she planted them in the farming space. Xiao Lingyu had to admit she didn't know anything about growing strawberries. So she bought some books to read on it. However, the spring water had eliminated the dregs from her strawberry seedlings. Even she couldn't tell what variety they were now. However, she did remember the girl at the seed station saying the strawberry seeds came from the Liao Province's Dongdan City.

Dongdan city in Liao Province was the top ten strawberry cultivators in China. It was also China's agricultural center!

Dongdan was part of the mountainous range of the Liao Province. It was part of the Changbai mountain range. It had rich water resources, a humid climate, abundant rainfall, and plenty of light. It was suitable for the growth of strawberries. Dongdan strawberries are famous for their beautiful appearance, bright color, rich fragrance, and sweet and sour taste. Most of the strawberries planted at Dongdan are in the Hongyan variety.

Therefore, the seed she bought was most likely Hongyan.

Xiao Lingyu answered Zeng Yaozu, "This is Hongyan!"

"Hongyan?" Zeng Yaozu said in surprise, "But I've never tasted a Hongyan like this before!"

Xiao Lingyu explained, "Young Master Zeng, this is indeed a Hongyan. However, my planting technique is somewhat different from Dongdan city. It involves cleansing and purification. The technique improves the taste."

Zeng Yaozu nodded.

He only knew how to eat strawberries, but he did not know how to plant strawberries. Therefore, he was an amateur when it came to technical problems.

Xiao Lingyu asked again, "Young Master Zeng, since you are a strawberry connoisseur, how do you think I should price my first batch of strawberries?"

"You're asking the right person!" Zeng Yaozu said, "I know the prices of all strawberry varieties because I eat them often. For example, Dongdan's Hongyan strawberries are the best strawberries in our country. Their first batch is the most expensive. One kilogram of them can be sold for 120 to 200 RMB. They are really expensive. That is because the first batch is usually very limited in numbers. Not many people can afford them."

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao found it unbelievable when they heard that a kilogram of strawberries could reach between 120 yuan and 200 yuan.
