Chapter 18 Happy Life After Half a Year

In the blink of an eye, it is half a year old. It is summer now, and the sun is scorching the earth. Every day, the coolest time is early morning. The sun rises gradually, and the sunlight shines on the earth. The temperature rises gradually. In front of and behind the house, pumpkin vines are all over the fields, and yellow flowers are gradually blooming. Those are unpollinated pumpkin flowers, and it is difficult to tell whether they are male or female flowers.

I woke up early in the morning and while my parents were still sleeping, I entered the space and played with the elves for a while.

The green arch bridge still exists, even though it no longer blooms and bears fruit. He Luyi feels that just looking at this green makes her feel relaxed and happy.

Green peppers and eggplants are still there, supporting the green dome. Perhaps they no longer need nutrients to support flowering and fruiting, so the branches are gradually becoming thicker and stronger.

I still remember that after the bumper harvest, the speed at which fruits and vegetables bore fruit slowed down, until there were very few or even almost no fruits. He Luyi wanted to keep them as decorations, but was worried that there might be something wrong with them, so she asked the elf.

"Little elf, keeping this won't affect anything, right?"

"Master, the elf isn't very clear either." He Luyi nodded, realizing that the elf didn't know what was going on either, so he could only try an experiment.

Three months have passed since then, and He Luyi has discovered that the vines have not changed much. They still bloom some flowers, but no longer bear fruit.

He Luyi understands this very well. During the peak fruit-bearing period, there are still many flowers that do not bear fruit, not to mention that that period has passed, so it is quite normal.

Eggplants and green peppers don't bear fruit, but they do produce flowers with a delicate fragrance, making them quite nice as decorations. Plants that are both edible and beautiful to look at are truly amazing!

"If it could be like a fruit tree, it would be perfect. Can I try to cultivate it? But let's see if it can still bear fruit at this time next year." He Luyi thought, the green pepper tree is really good, just think of the big and tall green pepper tree that looks like an umbrella, with the green peppers hanging down, wow, so interesting.

Whether it can succeed or not, only time will tell.

The space at this time is no longer the barren wasteland it was at the beginning. In addition to the green bridge planned in the middle, both sides can be planted.

The only problem is how to plant it.

He Luyi got all the seeds from her grandmother, and she didn't need to worry about the seasons, so she could plant whatever she wanted. "Then I'll plant what I like to eat the most."

"Little elf, what do you like to eat? You can also grow some vegetables you like." He Luyi said to the elf. She is not a bad master who abuses elves.

The elf doesn't know what he likes. After all, he doesn't know the recipes of this world, and the delicious food in his own world is not what should be in this world.

At least for now, the elves' favorite foods are cucumbers and bitter melons.

Yes, you heard it right. The elves like bitter melon. When He Lvyi learned about it, her first reaction was, bitter melon? This bitter thing, although she knew that eating it could clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but He Lvyi really couldn't care less and couldn't accept it!

Even after blanching, it is still too bitter for He Luyi to accept. Life is too bitter, and bitter melon... there is no need for that!

This is the vegetable that He Luyi always says no to. Even though she grows bitter melon, she really doesn't like it. Bitter melon is the vegetable with the largest stock.

However, after knowing that the elf likes bitter melon, He Luyi smiled happily, and she could finally clear out the stock, haha.

With the elf, we no longer have to worry about not being able to finish the bitter melon. He Luyi is very happy. She gave the elf the bitter melon that he likes. It’s a win-win cooperation.

As for the cucumbers, let's split them 50-50, half for each person and half for each elf. But there's no need to divide it so clearly. After all, the elves live and eat in the space, so it's very convenient for them to eat whatever they want without having to go anywhere.

As for developing new recipes, we need to constantly enrich the variety and collect different seeds.

He Qing planned out a small area for sowing a small amount of seeds as an experimental field, which can also be regarded as a seedling raising area. Of course, some areas do not need this and can be sown directly.

Some of them were planted all together, and after they grew and bore fruit, the elves were allowed to taste what they liked, and then they began to plant them in large quantities.

After experiments, He Luyi discovered that the elves like vegetables with strong or light flavors. It’s not an absolute rule, but it’s mostly the case.

The experimental field was in a mess. It was just an experiment, so He Luyi didn't think about tidying it up to make it look better.

The fruits soon blossomed and bore fruit after being planted. He Luyi let the elf pick whichever he liked. After trying many, the elf's first choice was tomatoes. They were soft and tender, juicy, and burst when bitten, filling the mouth with the unique aroma of tomato.

The second is ginger. Tender ginger is a good choice for pickles. It is acceptable to eat it raw and tastes good.

The elves are of the acceptable kind.

As for the others, the elf doesn’t dislike them and can eat some of them. “Master, the elf thinks they are all okay. Why don’t you... plant them all~” The elf said that they are small in size, but they are... big ones~ Only children will make choices, they want all the big ones!

“…”

Well, in that case, let's plant them all. But this requires careful consideration, how to plan to maximize the use of land.

When it comes to farming, He Luyi is actually an outsider. The insiders are her grandparents. One has to admit that the older generation, the old farmers, have been farming all their lives and are already familiar with what to plant and when. He Luyi is not like that. There are really few young people in later generations who can work in the fields. Maybe many of them can't even tell what vegetable is what?
