Nangong Chen wasn't lying. Being able to grow a whole mountain of fruit in the space wasn't as simple as just having seeds.
After all, the soil composition for growing fruits is completely different. Oranges need relatively dry soil, while grapes need more moisture.
The soil in the space was also limited, so Zhan Siyu did some research at the Academy of Sciences and combined the nutrients and chemical agents.
A rapid growth solution for plants was prepared according to a specific ratio, and the soil microbial community was strictly controlled, which resulted in the cultivation of a relatively satisfactory crop.
"Then I must try it!" Ye Chaoqun laughed.
He had never refused the food that Nan Xiangwan offered him, and this time was no exception.
When he first put a grape in his mouth, his eyes seemed to light up.
This is a completely different culinary experience. Previously, they had mainly eaten dishes with rich and complex flavors.
But the taste of the fruit is completely different; it's a whole new experience, and you feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Is this what you call fruit?" Ye Chaoqun asked.
He even picked up another one and put it in his mouth to chew. The more he ate, the more delicious it tasted. He was even a little envious that people on the Blue Planet could eat such delicious food.
Seeing Ye Chaoqun eating so happily, Nangong Chen smiled as well.
“I’m glad you like it, but please leave some for Miss Ouyang. You can eat the rest,” Nangong Chen said.
Ouyang Qian quickly shook her head and pushed her own portion over as well.
"No, no, no, if Chaoqun likes them, he can eat them all. Actually, I like strawberries, and Haochen said he'd bring me a whole box of strawberries later!" Ouyang Qian said with a smile.
Nan Haochen nodded and said, "Of course, don't worry, honey, I'll definitely bring you a whole box of strawberries!"
Seeing how polite Ouyang Qian was, Ye Chaoqun became even more impolite.
However, he never thought of eating all the fruit; his first thought was to share it with Ye Chaonan and Grandpa Ye.
However, he was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
Nangong Chen immediately saw his fiancée's predicament, so he took the initiative to bring it up.
"Do you intend to take these grapes back to the Ye family?" Nangong Chen asked.
Ye Chaoqun quickly glanced at the reactions of the people next to him and saw that their faces seemed expressionless and normal.
However, he still wanted to explain, because he didn't want Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu to misunderstand him because of this.
"Sister Nan, what Nangong said earlier is right. I really want to take these fruits back for my grandfather to try!"
"But don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything by it. I just think these things are really delicious, so I wanted to share them with my grandpa!"
Ye Chaoqun looked at Nan Xiangwan with a very sincere expression, but of course he wouldn't force her.
“If Sister Nan doesn’t agree, it’s actually okay!” Ye Chaoqun added.
Seeing his fiancée so humble, Nangong Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Xiangwan quickly shook her head and said, "Chaoqun, how many times have I told you not to be so polite with us? When did I ever say you couldn't take these things back?"
"This child is really..."
Nan Xiangwan was at a loss for words. Ye Chaoqun, because of his identity, was always caught between the Ye family and the people of Xingfu Community, and he must have felt quite uncomfortable.
Zhan Siyu also said, "If you want to take it back, then take it back. It wouldn't be bad for Grandpa Ye to have a taste!"
Ouyang Qian nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right! If you're being so polite with your sister, we're going to get angry with you!"
Faced with everyone's persuasion and comfort, Ouyang Qian was deeply moved.
"Sister Nan, you shouldn't be so nice to me..." Ye Chaoqun said.
Sometimes, even Ye's siblings weren't that nice to him, after all, they were wary of his status as the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Apart from having fun with Ye Chaonan, everyone else treated him like a precious jewel that couldn't be dropped or touched.
That's why Ye Chaoqun developed a tomboyish habit from a young age, hoping that people wouldn't treat him like a pampered young lady.
However, the Ye family's influence was so great that everyone thought Ye Chaoqun was joking.
Only when he was with Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu could Ye Chaoqun feel truly happy.
"Why does this girl look like she's about to cry?" Zhan Siyu asked.
Nan Xiangwan laughed and said, "Is it really that exaggerated? Chaoqun, it's just a bunch of grapes. If you're willing to wait, around 10 p.m. tonight, a batch of fruit will be cleaned, and you can take a basket of fruit home then!"
"Don't overthink it. We're not trying to curry favor with your grandfather or the Ye family!"
"We're only willing to share our best food with Ye Chaoqun because he's our friend!"
Upon hearing Nan Xiangwan's words, Ye Chaoqun was moved to tears.
"Sister Nan, I've already told you not to be so nice to me..."
Ye Chaoqun was really about to cry, but Nangong Chen quickly comforted him.
"Alright, if you're interested, I'll take you to the warehouse later!"
"There's a lot of fruit in the warehouse, but we need to clean off the chemical residue on the surface, so we can't take it back for you right now. The first batch of fruit should be cleaned out tonight!" Nangong Chen said.
Ye Chaoqun nodded quickly; of course he wanted to see what the fruits Nan Xiangwan had mentioned were like.
Ouyang Qian smiled and pushed all the fruit in front of Ye Chaoqun. Half of the bunch of grapes had been eaten, but Ye Chaoqun was still eyeing the other half covetously.
"Eat up, we've already eaten, and there's plenty of fruit in the warehouse!"
"This portion of grapes is for you. You're quite lucky, girl. We had just finished packing the fruit when you arrived!"
Since everyone was so enthusiastic, Ye Chaoqun decided not to stand on ceremony.
Because if he were to refuse at this point, it would be somewhat hypocritical.
"Then I won't be polite!" Ye Chaoqun quickly ate all the grapes on the table.
At this moment, Nan Xiangwan said, "So why did you come to find us? It's not because you miss Nangong, is it?"
Nangong Chen was drinking water and almost choked on it.
Ye Chaoqun said, "I'm here to see Nangong, but you could also say no. I'm actually here to invite you to a family banquet that the Ye family will be holding at home next week!"
