From mid-December, the greenhouses on the farm began to produce vegetables in succession.
Having agreements with several units to deliver vegetables before New Year's Day, all the employees on the farm sprang into action.
The first to be harvested were the cucumbers, for which Shen Yunfang had specially prepared square, long-sided frames. After picking the cucumbers, they were laid out in rows going in one direction.
Once a basket was full, a little water was sprayed on top to keep them moist, then they were covered with a sheet of oil paper, and after putting the basket lid on, it was tied up and placed at the entrance of the greenhouse to start filling the next one. These would stay fresh for three to four days for sure if preserved this way.
