Chapter 217 The fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse are very precious
As a result, the Yang family no longer had such a tight financial situation because of the income from strawberries.
Yangmei also repaid all the food that Shang Ruoting had lent to her family.
At the same time, in order to express her gratitude to Shang Ruoting for her help, Yang Mei also bought a piece of cloth for each of Shang Ruoting's family of three to express her gratitude.
Because his family had money, Yang Tao returned to school to continue his studies.
Now, Yangmei's family has become the envy of the villagers.
The person who was most upset about this matter was Lin Erniu's mother Zhu Guixiang.
In fact, she was quite satisfied with Yangmei's character. The only thing she didn't like was that there were so many burdens in her family.
Now, not only does Yang Mei earn twice as many work points as others by making tofu every day, but I also heard that her family earns hundreds of yuan from growing strawberries.
Several hundred yuan is an astronomical figure for the people in Sihe Village. Many people have never seen so much money in their entire lives.
Now that they have made so much money, it’s no big deal if they have a few more burdens.
In order to make Yang Mei and Lin Erniu reconcile, Zhu Guixiang was really willing to sacrifice her reputation.
He took the initiative to go to Yangmei's house to show his goodwill, but was kicked out with a broom by the angry Yangtao.
This incident was seen by many people, and as a result, the topic of gossip among the villagers gradually shifted from Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan to the Lin family.
Yang Mei has been in more contact with Shang Ruoting now, and her thinking has changed a lot. Although she is somewhat reluctant to let go of Lin Erniu, reason finally overcomes impulse, and she does not give Lin Erniu any chance.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the villagers are gradually starting to hibernate.
It’s just November, and many crops in Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen’s greenhouses have matured.
Old Mrs. Shang now also likes the greenhouse at home, and she will go there when she has nothing to do.
Because the crops in the greenhouse were watered with diluted spiritual spring water, there was no need to weed. Old Mrs. Shang looked at the vegetables and fruits that were growing well and was very impressed by Shang Ruoting and her husband.
Greenhouse cultivation was not popular in this era, so the fruits and vegetables grown in greenhouses were very precious.
The main reason why Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen planted these was to provide cover for the items in the space, and at the same time, they could also make some profit from it.
Now, the family has fresh vegetables and fruits to eat every day, and Old Mrs. Shang has never doubted it. After all, the things that Shang Ruoting took out of the space to eat in the open are all varieties grown in the greenhouse.
Although the crops in the greenhouse were watered with some diluted spiritual spring water, they were still not as good as the crops in the space that were watered entirely with spiritual spring water.
For example, strawberries produced in the space have a diameter of more than 5 cm and uniform color, while those produced in the greenhouse have a diameter of only more than 4 cm and have a slightly whitish spot on the side close to the soil.
The strawberries that Shang Ruoting gave to her family were naturally produced in the space, and for this, Old Mrs. Shang felt a little distressed.
"Tingting, we can eat them at home. We can just eat the ones that are not good-looking. We can sell the ones that are big and have good colors in the city for money."
Shang Ruoting certainly knew what the old lady was thinking.
"Grandma, Tan Chen and I built this greenhouse so that our family can eat fresh food in the winter, so of course we have to choose the best ones."
Seeing that the old lady was distressed about this, Tan Chen also spoke up for Shang Ruoting: "Grandma, just listen to Ruoting. We make money to live a good life. There is no need to think too much."
When Mrs. Shang saw that the two young people said this, she stopped talking.
She once lived a privileged life, but in recent years she was so tired of being poor that she gradually developed the habit of frugality.
In order to let Old Lady Shang eat more good food, Shang Ruoting deliberately took out a large pile of vegetables from the space and put them in the kitchen.
The old man is frugal and certainly won’t bear to see these good things go to waste.
This trick really works. In order to prevent the food from going bad, Mrs. Shang cooks several dishes every day and eats a lot of fruits.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen have not been idle these days. The food they have been eating recently is all produced in the space, and they only pick some from the greenhouse symbolically.
Now more and more crops in the greenhouse are ripening, and it is time for them to prepare for sale.
After discussing it, the two agreed that the fresh vegetables and fruits of this season would be very valuable. People in the town and the county had limited purchasing power, so it would be better to go to Zhuang City, where there were more wealthy people.
After thinking it over, the two set off early the next morning.
In order to conceal their whereabouts, they symbolically picked two baskets of fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse and deliberately wandered around the village for a while.
This way, many people will see them carrying two baskets of greenhouse crops out, and this will also provide a good cover for the crops produced in the space.
Although the weather is cold, women still gather in groups of three or four to chat.
