The first thing Fatty Wang did after getting out of the pit wasn't to find out which bastard had pushed him in, but to scramble and crawl to see the "super radish" he had just pulled out.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."
His mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg, and he couldn't say any other words.
"This is a radish? How much fertilizer did you have to give it to grow this big?!"
"Hey, don't slander me. These radishes of mine are all pure, natural, and pollution-free green vegetables."
Xu Milu smiled and spread her hands: "Drought-resistant and cold-resistant, can be harvested in fifteen days, 9.9 yuan per gram of seeds, bought from the Sichuan-Chongqing Red Rice Research Institute, Mr. Wang, are you interested?"
Fatty Wang nodded his head so hard it was practically falling off: "Yes, yes, yes, that's perfect! But look at this batch of radishes... hehehehe..."
He rubbed his hands together as he spoke: "How about you share some with me? I'll buy it at a high price."
"This is nothing. You know that this kind of land is just a side business for me. These ten acres of radishes are almost all used up by my restaurant in one winter. How could I possibly share any with you?"
Xu Milu raised an eyebrow, pulled Xu Lanjuan aside, and whispered to Fatty Wang:
"But since we're still friends, I'll give you some pointers. Sister Lan has planted a few acres of trees on the back hill of her house, but she planted them later than me. It will take a few more days for them to ripen."
Xu Lanjuan immediately realized that Xu Milu was trying to raise the price for her, and looked at her with some gratitude.
"real??"
Fatty Wang was overjoyed. He knew that time was money these days, and even if he bought the seeds, he would have to wait half a month before he could harvest them.
Just look at the growing crowds at the scene; the popularity of "Super Radish" has undoubtedly exploded. The sooner you get the goods, the sooner you can make money.
He immediately went to the side with Xu Lanjuan to discuss the purchase price, and finally agreed to purchase it at ten yuan per kilogram.
Xu Milu had no objection to the price, considering that it was already an "astronomical price" compared to the purchase price of ordinary radishes, which was only 50 cents per kilogram or even less.
She has already informed many people about the source of the seeds, and the price of radishes will gradually decrease once the Honghe Research Institute opens up seed purchase channels in a few days.
Xu Lanjuan's family has five mu of land, which can yield at least 100,000 jin of giant, delicious radishes. If they sell them all with this favorable wind, they can not only break even, but also achieve a comfortable life.
...
...
The workers were busy until after 8 p.m. before loading all the giant, delicious radishes onto trucks and transporting them to a cold storage facility.
The crowd's enthusiasm remained undiminished, forcing the police to set up a cordon to maintain order. Under the flickering headlights, no one was willing to leave early.
Liu Mingji and his research team have already filled a notebook with measurement data, but he doesn't seem to feel tired at all and is still taking soil samples to send for testing.
Xu Milu's phone has been ringing off the hook. When she opens her WeChat Moments, Weibo, and short video platforms, all she sees is people talking about "Super Radish," all exclaiming "Holy crap!"
The trending topics were flooded with red bars, with hashtags like "[Super Grapes]", "[Super Giant Radish]", "[Giants #hot]", "[Ningcheng #Xingning Village #Super Radish]", and "[Super Fruits #Super Vegetables]" trending at the top. Even many official accounts shared the videos.
The video shows huge radishes piled up like mountains, with cranes lifting them one by one onto trucks, their broad leaves hanging down like green waterfalls.
Countless heads bobbed along the ridges of the fields, densely packed together like a swarm of moving ants.
The enormous size of the giant radish was especially noticeable when compared to the people around it.
[DingTalk is a little pig: The kids are tired of saying "Wow!" First came Super Grape, then Super Radish, when will it be our turn?]
[mahxywh: Magic, this must be magic!]
[Under the Sinking Sword Heart: What kind of magic is this? This person must have awakened the bloodline of Shennong.]
[Lalalala Little Pink: This radish is so big, it doesn't look appetizing at all. Send it over quickly so I can try it for you guys.]
[Doraemon: Forget everything else, just ask where I can buy it. Ruihua Chain, stop playing dead and come out to take your beating. @RuihuaChain]
[I got a pentakill in King of Glory: Doesn't anyone doubt the authenticity of this video? Waiting for it to be debunked.]
[Funny Girl Nana-chan: If one video can be photoshopped, how can so many videos be faked?]
[Foodie, are you polite? How long can such a big radish last?]
This online phenomenon almost surpassed the previous meteoric rise of the Ping Pong Grape, and all Chinese people unanimously raised the same question:
Is this radish tasty?
...
...
When Xu Minian got home from school, he saw a video of "Super Radish" and let out a scream, startling Liu Hongmei, who was busy in the kitchen.
"What are you doing, child? Why are you so easily startled?"
"Mom! My sister's gone viral!!"
Xu Minian exclaimed excitedly, "Everyone online is talking about the super-sized radish my sister grew! Look, look! So many celebrities on Weibo have shared this video, and everyone in my classmates' group is asking about it!"
He turned his head and pouted at Xu Milu:
"Sis, you're going too far!! You didn't even take me with you to see the radishes being pulled up. Those radishes were so big, you could have at least let me take a picture of them."
"Come on, if I take you there I'll have to keep an eye on you. You know how chaotic it is over there today, several people have fallen into the radish pit. Do you want me to take you there to make things worse?"
Xu Milu was feeding Ah Chou a stalk of celery when she heard this, and she rolled her eyes at him:
"If you want to take photos, I'll help out at the shop tomorrow. You can take as many photos of the radish as you like."
"Hooray! You're the best sister in the world!!! I'm calling Hao Chen right now!!"
