Ye Chaoqun actually had such a choice in mind, but he quickly shook his head, feeling like he was a fool.
Nangong Chen said with a smile, "You can eat whatever you want. I can buy you fruit, or I can grow it myself. As for pork belly... I'll ask Miss Nan how to cook it later!"
Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu were also very happy to see the two young lovers flirting like this.
It seems that Nangong Chen has truly fallen in love. If he and Ye Chaoqun want to be together, there will be many difficulties.
After all, Nangong Chen was an outsider, while the Ye family was one of the eight great families with a large and powerful family. The two were simply not a good match.
Previously, Ye Chaoqun and Fu Tingshen's marriage was called off. Later, in order to compensate Ye Chaoqun, the Ye family had no choice but to agree to his engagement banquet with Nangong Chen.
"You two still need to work hard. Who knows what will happen next?" Zhan Siyu exhaled.
Ye Chaoqun nodded and said, "Brother Zhan, Sister Nan, I will definitely cherish Nangong!"
Hearing Ye Chaoqun's serious words all of a sudden, Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh.
Zhan Siyu also said with a smile, "Alright, we all know that you two are in love, we understand that!"
Nan Xiangwan smiled as she picked the last two grapes for Ye Chaoqun.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. The Ye family's banquet is still a week away, so there's no point in discussing this now!"
"Chaoqun, would you like to take a look at the fruit in our warehouse?"
"We just happen to need someone to help pack the fruit. By now, it should be almost cleaned. We plan to pack the fruit separately, one box for each household. If there are enough, we can pack them into a fruit basket!"
Nan Xiangwan's goal is actually to deliver a fruit basket to every household.
Zhan Siyu had the same idea, because when he went to see Ander today, he happened to find some baskets in the factory.
"Is this the kind of fruit basket?" Zhan Siyu asked.
He pulled a basket directly from under the table, which was almost identical to the fruit basket they had seen on Aquamarine before.
"That's it! It really feels like coming home!" Ouyang Qian said.
Nan Haochen asked directly, "Brother-in-law, where did you find this kind of basket? It looks so familiar!"
Zhan Siyu told Nan Xiangwan about his trip to the factory with Ander to find materials that day. When he came across these baskets, the first thing Zhan Siyu thought of was the fruit in the warehouse.
"I've already asked Ander to order five thousand for us, and they should be delivered tonight!"
"We've divided the fruit in the warehouse into 5,000 portions and packaged them first. I know there aren't 5,000 households in the community, so the fruit we don't need can be stored in the temperature-controlled warehouse!"
"When Nangong Chen goes to the Ye family banquet, he will have to bring gifts. When we go back to the Academy of Sciences, we will definitely have to give each person in the research studio a basket of gifts!"
"Besides, Ander will definitely want to try some fruit too..."
Zhan Siyu had already allocated the amount of fruit, but fortunately, all the fruit in the space was ripe and there was plenty of it all over the mountains and fields.
More importantly, the ripening cycle of fruit is very short. If the harvesting time is missed, the fruit will fall directly into the mud and eventually become fertilizer.
If fertilizer is truly needed, they can mix nutrients and chemical agents in equal proportions, making it completely unnecessary to waste fruit.
"Five thousand copies? Is that enough?" Nan Haochen asked.
He had just been to the warehouse and had no idea that the fruit could be divided into 5,000 portions; he estimated that it would be difficult to divide it into 1,000 portions.
Nan Xiangwan said, "Although there's no fruit left in the warehouse, we have plenty in our storage space!"
"Based on this quantity, your brother-in-law only brought out about one-seventh of the fruit?"
As Nan Xiangwan spoke, she looked at Zhan Siyu, only to see him shake his head.
"No, the fruit harvest is more than we expected. I only brought about one-tenth of it with me, and we definitely have to get all the fruit out within the next three months, otherwise it will rot in the fields, which would be such a waste!"
Zhan Siyu explained that the reason he wanted to give away the fruit was that he didn't want to waste it.
Nangong Chen and Nan Haochen nodded in agreement, finding the statement quite reasonable, and naturally had no doubt about it.
What surprised Nangong Chen even more was that the rapid growth solution they developed at the Academy of Sciences actually worked.
"So, the plant growth regulator is effective?" Nangong Chen asked cautiously.
Zhan Siyu nodded and said, "Of course it will be useful. Under normal circumstances, mangoes need three years to grow before they can be harvested, grapes take about half a year, and cherries take about two years!"
"But by using special soil and a fast-growing solution, all the crops were harvested within six months!"
"You can rest assured, I have already checked it, and the fruit grown has no abnormalities. All tests have been passed!"
Zhan Siyu is always very meticulous and serious in his work. He had already checked all the fruit and found no side effects, so he dared to let them try it.
Before this, they had failed more than forty times.
Nangong Chen had given up hope for this research, but to his surprise, it succeeded.
“I originally thought there was little hope…” Nangong Chen’s surprise was palpable.
"Yes, I initially thought this approach was quite crazy and the chances of success were slim, but I never expected it to actually succeed!"
"Sometimes that's just how it is; the more impossible something seems, the more likely it is to succeed!"
"This is great news! Everyone, don't all look so emotional. With this rapid growth liquid, we can harvest a batch of fruit within six months!" Ouyang Qian said.
Although Zhan Siyu wanted to agree with what Ouyang Qian said, the reality was not as good as they imagined.
"Qianqian, things aren't as rosy as you think!"
"The amount of nutrient soil we can produce is limited, and we cannot use the soil from the space where we grow crops, so we can only use the black soil from Rose Star to mix with it!"
"However, we have limited soil available, so we can only grow a maximum of three batches of fruit!"
"Unless we can develop soil that is truly suitable for crop growth within a year, we will still face the fate of having no fruit after a year!"
Zhan Siyu revealed the true progress of the experiment: although the rapid growth of the plants was showing promise, the soil research remained stagnant.
