Chapter 126 Pick Us
That actually made her a bit excited.
On the other hand, the remaining 3.8 acres were all strawberries!

She had started from just two rotten strawberries she’d found. First, she planted them on 0.06 acres, and from there, the seeds just kept multiplying nonstop.
Once she realized that a single strawberry could sell for a sky–high price of 100 stellar coins, she didn’t worry at all about expanding the strawberry fields.
In her mind, stopping at 3.8 acres was already holding back enough.
The real issue was manpower. Clearing land just wasn’t keeping up with how fast the seeds multiplied.
Compared to the massive spiritual fields she’d had in her previous life, these plots barely counted.
But she knew it was only a matter of time.
“Alright, kids!” Elizabeth clapped her hands and called out to the children picking up stones. “Gather around! I’ve got a job for you. Pick all the bright red peppers and bean pods in this section. Leave the rest alone. Got it?”

of turning the soil, Isaac, Milo, and the others shot their hands up without hesitation. Some even looked almost excited.
“Pick us, Mrs. Loffe! We can handle it!”
“That’s right! We’ve been secretly watching how people work the soil–we totally got this!”
And they weren’t just bragging.
They had actually been sneaking glances at how the townsfolk in Hope Town worked the fields, learning every little thing.
They knew it was way tougher than sorting through trash.
But somehow, they felt sure about it.
Here, hard work came with fair rewards.
The tougher the job, the more recognition, maybe even better treatment.
