Xu Milu weighed the fruit in her hand with satisfaction, and when she looked up, she saw that the curiosity in the eyes of the people around her was almost popping out of their sockets.

"How about... everyone pick one and try it? It's just an experiment anyway, so it's on me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Belinsky and several burly Russian men behind him give the tomato trees a bear hug—judging by the force, it seemed as if they wanted to give the three trees a "hug and slam" on the spot.

“Осторожно! Осторожно! Не трогайте эти ветви! Ты дол6аный идиот! (Be careful! Be careful! Don't touch those branches! You damned idiot!)”

To avoid breaking branches, Belinsky even took off half of his protective suit and carefully picked a large tomato with his big hands.

Such a "giant" is enough to feed a family of three. A single seed can yield thousands of kilograms of tomatoes in just five minutes. This means that if they operate properly, the nation's vitamin needs will not be a problem in the short term.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, polar fast-growing tomatoes will be a convenient source of vitamins for people for a considerable period of time to come!

This is a very significant change!

However, no one on the Chinese side took action for a long time. Despite their curiosity being about to burst, no one left their post.

"Ms. Xu, we will take good care of these three fast-growing polar tomato trees and build a friendship memorial hall around them to symbolize our friendship with you. If you need other sites for verification, our staff will also actively cooperate. Do you have any requirements for the planting site?"

Hao Xiaoxi, as expected of a Chinese diplomatic representative, quickly shifted the focus to cooperation in just a few words, while Xu Milu simply smiled and did not answer.

As they were talking, Qi Jiang ran over.

He ran wildly while carrying something in his arms. When he got closer, he saw that it was a barrel-shaped pot that was half a person tall. It was the kind of large pot specially used for making soup, and it was big enough to fit a child inside.

"Miss Xu, I've brought everything you asked for! Potatoes, onions, and a head of garlic—is that enough?"

Xu Milu opened the pot lid, poured out all the ingredients, and suggested with a smile:

"On such a cold day, a bowl of hot, comforting soup is just what we need to warm ourselves up. Director Hao probably hasn't had lunch yet, so I'll treat everyone to tomato, potato, and beef soup today."
