"I'll plant some watermelons and cantaloupes, and as for vegetables, I'll plant loofahs, cucumbers, tomatoes, cowpeas, eggplants, green peppers, and chili peppers.
These are vegetables that can grow again after a batch is picked. Planting them off-season can greatly extend our harvest period.
Brother, you are more familiar with raising seedlings and building racks for the growth of vine seedlings than I am, so you can take care of it yourself.
"Also, off-season vegetables should be planted in October so that we can harvest a batch before the New Year," Zhang Qiurui instructed her second brother.
"Okay, do you have any other ideas?" Zhang Wenfu wrote down everything Zhang Qiurui said. Fearing that she might have missed something, Zhang Wenfu asked one more question.
........。
Somewhere in Hong Kong.
"Boss, give me a copy of Ming Pao." A young man in his early twenties, wearing a simple but clean shirt, dark trousers, and a pair of shiny leather shoes, looking like a successful man, stood in front of the newsstand and took out a dollar and handed it to the newspaper owner.
However, at the same time, the newsstand was surrounded by many people who were also reading Ming Pao with great interest.
"Oh my god! Vincent must not get caught!" At this time, a young man who was reading Ming Pao suddenly shouted excitedly.
Cheng Shufen handed over "Mutants" to the editor-in-chief Li of Ming Pao at the end of July. It was serialized in one issue in August, with 30,000 words. Now the second issue has been published in September, also with 30,000 words. As the plot develops, it has become more and more exciting.
Ming Pao originally had a regular readership, and in the early days, most people bought Ming Pao because of Mr. Cha's martial arts novels. Until 1973, when Mr. Cha stopped writing martial arts novels, Ming Pao's sales dropped significantly. A subsequent report of a true event blew up the pages of Ming Pao, which had originally seemed a bit dull due to the absence of martial arts novels.
This is not just a piece of news, it deeply reflects the true face of society and touches the resonance deep in people's hearts.
The incident involves social justice, the confrontation between the bright and dark sides of human nature. The authenticity of the content and the depth of the emotions have moved countless readers, which is why it has accumulated a group of loyal readers.
As soon as the report came out, Ming Pao's sales not only did not continue to decline, but instead showed an unexpected rebound.
In addition, the four great talents of Hong Kong, Huang Nian, Ni Kuang and Cai Lan, subsequently published novels in Ming Pao, which made the pages of Ming Pao more colorful and the literary atmosphere more profound.
The young man's name is Lin Hao. In August, he originally bought Ming Pao to read Ni Kuang's "The Original Hero", but he accidentally came across this science fiction novel "The Mutant Evil".
It tells the story of a future world where genes determine destiny. I was immersed in it as soon as I saw it and couldn't extricate myself. I became a loyal fan of "The Mutant".
As soon as the latest issue of the series was released, he rushed to buy it and couldn't wait to immerse himself in that world full of science fiction and thrills.
Today, seeing Vincent in crisis again, Lin Hao's heart rose to his throat. He couldn't help but shout out, fearing that his beloved character would encounter an accident.
"Brother, are you also reading the science fiction novel "Mutants"? " The successful young man looked at Lin Hao with a smile, a glimmer of resonance in his eyes, and asked.
Lin Hao looked up and saw that it was the well-dressed and elegant young man who was talking to him. He was stunned for a moment.
He nodded immediately and said excitedly, "Yes! This novel is so wonderful. It makes my blood boil every time I read it. Especially the character Vincent. He may not have the same genes as his younger brother, but I admire his tenacity and unyielding character!"
The young man smiled as he heard this. He agreed, saying, "Indeed, this novel is not only gripping in its plot, but also offers a profound exploration of human nature. Vincent's courage and determination in facing the dilemma of his genetic destiny are truly moving."
The two of them got along better and better as they talked, and soon discovered that they both had a strong interest in and unique insights into "Mutants".
The young man introduced himself: "My name is Cheng Ruiyang. I work in a foreign trade company. I like to read novels, especially science fiction."
Lin Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "So you're a science fiction fan too! My name is Lin Hao, and I'm still in college, majoring in computer science. However, I'm also interested in literature, especially science fiction."
The two had a great conversation, as if they had found a soulmate.
As the conversation deepened, the book lovers who were reading "Altered Evil" around the newsstand also joined in the discussion.
"The future vision and human struggle in "Altered" is about how human emotions and morals will evolve in a future with highly developed technology," asked a middle-aged man.
"Do you think the genetically optimized society described in 'The Mutant' is really the ultimate form that humans pursue?" A young girl was also a little confused.
"This novel's exploration of genetic optimization and individual potential made me think about the potential impact of gene editing technology on human society. Vincent's story inspired me that no matter what one's genes are, personal effort and perseverance are the key to determining one's destiny."
"I haven't even finished reading 'Mutant Evil' yet, and I'm already looking forward to the second science fiction novel written by the world's number one writer."
At the same time, after reading the latest issue of Ming Pao's "The Mutant", many people in Hong Kong discussed the novel "The Mutant", human nature and the direction of the subsequent content.
........
Ming Pao, inside an office.
"How many copies of the latest issue of Ming Pao have been shipped?" Editor-in-Chief Li asked Xiao Zhang, the publisher.
"Editor-in-Chief Li, as of now, 90,000 copies of the latest issue of Ming Pao have been shipped." Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of distribution, replied quickly, holding a copy of the latest sales statistics report in his hand.
Editor-in-Chief Li nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, but then frowned again. "We can still ship more than 10,000 copies. By this calculation, our Ming Pao is about to break the record of 100,000 copies of newspapers published in a month."
"It should be possible." Xiao Zhang, the publisher, also looked happy.
He also participated in breaking Ming Pao's highest circulation record and shared the honor.
"The sales of Ming Pao this month have skyrocketed by more than 10,000 copies. Have you found out the reason? Could it be caused by the novel "Mutants"? " Editor-in-Chief Li didn't know what he was thinking about. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhang sharply.
Earlier, when the first issue of "Mutants" was released, Editor-in-Chief Li asked people to inquire about the response to the novel, but the feedback received at that time was not enough to support such a significant increase in sales.
