Chapter 170 Are these vegetables from our vegetable garden?
When Shang Ruoting heard what Yangmei and Yangtao said, she realized that they had misunderstood her.
"That's not what I meant. I can give you some strawberry seeds to plant, but you have to promise me that you won't let the seeds spread. Otherwise, the strawberries we grow in the future will be worthless."
Yang Tao was already feeling a little guilty for her rash words just now, but she didn't expect that Shang Ruoting not only didn't blame her, but was actually willing to provide her with strawberry seeds.
She took a few steps forward and asked tentatively: "Sister Ruoting, are you telling the truth?"
Shang Ruoting smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."
Yang Tao was ecstatic. He grabbed Shang Ruoting's arm and shook it vigorously. "Don't worry, Sister Ruoting. I only planted strawberries to increase my family's income. I promise not to spread the seeds."
Shang Ruoting didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the Yang sisters had helped her a lot. Moreover, during this period, she and the Yang sisters had also established a deep friendship. In her opinion, enemies should not be indulged, and relatives and friends should be treated with sincerity.
"Okay, I'll give you some seeds tomorrow." She had plenty of seeds in her space, but she couldn't take them out at this time. It would be too weird to go out with seeds in her pocket.
They chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Shang Ruoting pushed a cart of fruits and vegetables back.
Tan Chen came back early today and was delivering the prepared ice cubes to Mrs. Shang and their room.
When he saw so many vegetables and fruits on the cart pushed by Shang Ruoting, he hurried over to help.
"Wife, are these vegetables from our vegetable garden?"
Shang Ruoting knew that she would be questioned if she brought these things back.
"Yeah, I just went to the backyard and picked some that were ripe."
Tan Chen felt a little unbelievable: "I went to the vegetable garden to water it yesterday, but I didn't see so many mature crops. Was I careless?"
Shang Ruoting avoided his gaze and replied, "Then I don't know. I was just looking around today and that's all I found."
In this regard, Tan Chen could only think that he was too careless. Otherwise, why didn't he notice so many ripe vegetables and fruits?
Shang Ruoting didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him: "Put the watermelon on the ice first, it will be cooler when we eat it later."
Tan Chen responded and walked into the house carrying a big watermelon.
Shang Ruoting took all the vegetables to a cool place and picked some to send to the kitchen.
At this time, Old Mrs. Shang also heard the noise outside and came out. She couldn't help but be amazed when she saw the vegetables that matured earlier than those in other people's homes.
"Tsk tsk... We've been really lucky lately. We can even eat fresh vegetables earlier than other families."
Shang Ruoting pointed at the vegetables and said, "Grandma, I accidentally picked too many today. Let's make a few more dishes today."
Old Lady Shang looked at her with a smile: "Haha...it's just that you are greedy, girl, and you will find any excuse."
Shang Ruoting did not refute, and what Mrs. Shang said about her being greedy was not wrong at all.
After processing the vegetables, Tan Chen also put the watermelon on the ice. When he came out, he saw so many big strawberries on the cart.
He knew that they grew strawberries at home, and he had noticed that the strawberries had grown quite big in the past few days. He didn't expect that the strawberries would look so good after they ripened. Of course, they must be delicious too.
Shang Ruoting noticed that he was staring at the strawberries, and she thought she would have to explain herself again. Unexpectedly, Tan Chen didn't even ask and went straight to the well to wash them.
When eating strawberries, naturally, Mrs. Shang and Tan Chen couldn't avoid the praise.
Shang Ruoting also took this opportunity to express her plan: "Grandma, Tan Chen, we have a lot of strawberries planted in our backyard. I guess they will be ripe in the next few days. The three of us can't eat them all. I plan to take some to the city to sell."
Old Mrs. Shang nodded. "Well, Tingting, that's a good idea. The strawberries are grown in our vegetable garden, so it's not considered profiteering."
Tan Chen had no objection: "Okay, when the strawberries are ripe, I'll take them to the city to sell."
In fact, Shang Ruoting wanted to go to the city to sell strawberries by herself. After all, if she went out by herself, she could find opportunities to sell some fruits in the space.
Especially during this period, she saw that peaches were selling well, so she grew a lot more. There were almost ten baskets piled up in the warehouse. It would be inappropriate to sell them after this season.
"I'll go instead! And stroll around the city."
In fact, Tan Chen wanted to go together, but he thought that if Shang Ruoting went to the city, someone would need to help with the work in the chicken coop. Finally, he decided to let Shang Ruoting sell strawberries and he would stay at home to work.
Old Mrs. Shang also put a lot of thought into the dinner, with panlong eggplant, stir-fried beans, scrambled eggs with cucumber, and tomatoes taken to a new level. There was a red lotus shape in the plate, sprinkled with white sugar.
Although the taste is no different from ordinary sugar tomatoes, the presentation is definitely mouth-watering.
Shang Ruoting had a satisfying dinner and hid in the kitchen as usual to take a hot spring bath.
The feeling of returning to the room today is completely different from before. Although it is not as good as the air-conditioned room in my previous life, it still provides a cool breeze.
