Chapter 249: New Varieties in the Laboratory?

"Tomatoes, I brought them for Old Huo, so of course she ate them. Are you trying to snatch them from her? It's good enough that you can have a few bites of cucumber."

Wu Qiuyan said in a righteous tone. Huo Jingshu nodded, without any guilt for eating alone. She said "yes" as a matter of course, raised her eyebrows and looked at him, with the words "how dare you have an opinion" written on her face. How could

Old Man Gu dare to have an opinion? He was just surprised that there was something else. It was a bit regretful that he didn't eat it, but he was more happy in his heart that his wife ate the whole thing. This further proved that this vegetable was a good thing and he must get more back.

"Is that so? That's great. This way we have two kinds of vegetables to choose from. We can try more then. Maybe other kinds will work too. Tell me more about the specific varieties of vegetables."

"You're paying attention to the wrong thing. You should be paying attention that the vegetables have been eaten up. There are no more. The land is small and there are few vegetables. The vegetables mature in batches, which are only enough for our family to eat a bite. The youngsters are still scrambling to eat them. As for those elders, guess how many of them are eyeing the vegetables in the shed." Old Man Xia deliberately tried to anger his old friend.

Old Master Gu was not angry and said shamelessly: "I am your friend, so I am also one of the elders, I can also care about you."

"Haha!" Wu Qiuyan laughed, "Don't worry, Old Huo's business is my business. Our Yi'an told me that there are a few more sheds, but I don't know what the dishes in them are like. They should be cooked. Yi'an invited me to stay today, and I'm waiting to eat. If there is a bite for me, there will be a bite for my sisters."

Old Master Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up excitedly: "A few more sheds? What are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go visit girl Yi'an. I can't sleep tonight if I don't go."

There are still not many vegetables in the sheds, and there are many people in the three families of Qin, Xia and Lu. If they don't go early, there will be only bare land left.

"I just wanted to go and take a look, and take a walk to exercise." Old Mrs. Huo also stood up and moved her body, looking at her good friend and said.

"Okay, let's go. It's close, and it's quick to go back and forth. When I came here, Yi'an asked me to take you to the shed to pick whatever vegetables you want to eat and pick them yourself." Wu Qiuyan hurriedly pulled people out. Old

Mrs. Huo winked at the old man Gu in the back, asking him to go into the house to get something. As elders, they couldn't go empty-handed.

Old Man Gu nodded, immediately ran into the house to pick up a box of specially provided fruits, and happily followed his friend there.

On the other side, Xia Tianzhi finished his meal, took the samples he collected, held the dishes his niece had left for him, said goodbye, and called his wife and daughter to pack up and leave. His wife and daughter were reluctant to leave and wanted to stay here for one night, so he left first with his things.

On the way home, he met a friend he knew, Wu Jianjun. When he raised his hand to say hello, a tomato in his arms accidentally fell out and rolled to his friend's feet.

"What fell?"

Wu Jianjun looked down and his eyes widened, "This, this is a tomato? There are fresh tomatoes in the winter? Tianzhi, your research institute started to grow tomatoes in winter? New varieties? When can it be promoted? When can I eat it!"

He bent down and picked it up excitedly, and he didn't intend to return the tomato in his hand.

"Can you give me this tomato? Tianzhi, your Uncle Wu says every day that his mouth has no taste and everything he eats tastes bland. I think if he eats some sweet and sour tomatoes to stimulate his appetite, it will taste good."

This excuse was really good. Yesterday, he saw Uncle Wu buy a roast duck and took it back. On the way, he even pulled off a duck head and ate it while walking.

Wu Jianjun, who was standing opposite him, glanced at the bag of tomatoes that had rolled out of his arms.

Xia Tianzhi vigilantly held the things in his hands tightly and pinched the mouth of the bag, determined not to let the things inside fall out again.

If he gave more away, the portion he was going to keep would be gone.

At this time, the title of friends was suspended and they were just acquaintances.

"Okay, then you take it back to Uncle Wu. I won't talk to you for now. Let's go. I'm in a hurry to go back and take care of things."

Xia Tianzhi finished his words quickly, turned around and ran away with the things in his arms. He didn't care about his friends calling him or asking him questions.

Yi'an packed a lot of vegetables for him, and most of them were obviously to honor his second uncle. How could he let down his niece's kindness? He couldn't let her down.

"Hey, Tianzhi, Tianzhi!"

Wu Jianjun sighed with regret. There must be good things in the bag. It was such a big bag, and the tomatoes still fell out. Tianzhi was still hiding from him. It was a pity that he didn't get any news.

He looked down at the tomato in his hand and smiled again. This was a really big red tomato, a tomato that can only be eaten in summer.

"Hmm, it smells so good. Let's go back and ask Grandpa. Tianzhi and his research institute must have grown a lot of good things. Let's go back and try them first."

Wu Jianjun excitedly ran into the house with tomatoes. Although he used his father as an excuse, he would not eat alone. He let his father and family members taste it too.

Grandpa Wu was doing boxing and exercising in the yard.

"Dad, Dad, look what I brought back. Tomatoes, tomatoes."

"Where did you get them from?" Grandpa Wu stopped on the spot and asked in surprise.

"Where did Tian Zhi get this, Dad? Let's try it first to see how it tastes."

Wu Jianjun took the tomatoes and ran to the kitchen. Soon he came out with a bowl of tomato slices and invited everyone in the family to come and taste the fresh food.

Wu Jianjun's wife ate it and praised it endlessly.

"Well! It's really good, even better than the tomatoes we grew at home in the summer. It must be a new variety that has been researched. I'll ask Tian Zhi and his friends for some seeds to try tomorrow."

Grandpa Wu was eating the tomatoes but thought of other things and shook his head.
