Chapter 23: Selling Potatoes at the Vegetable Market Fortunately, the rescue team arrived quickly,...
Fortunately, the rescue team arrived soon. They took everyone on the spacecraft and sent them to the nearest planet where humans gathered.
Teacher Liu explained the situation to the rescue team and pleaded with them to find her student. The team took the situation very seriously, promising to do their utmost to locate her and immediately report any Zerg sightings.
Finally returning to a safe place, Teacher Liu took the students to a hotel on this planet and arranged accommodation for all the students.
After a good night's rest in the hotel, Su Sanyue woke up the next day and found that the water tank had exploded.
Su Sanyue: “…”
The potatoes are ripe again, and now they are bigger than before, each one weighing fifty or sixty kilograms.
Su Sanyue looked at the scattered soil and the large potatoes vaguely protruding from the soil, and said helplessly, "What should I use to plant it now?"
"March, are you up?" Xie Xiaoyu's voice came from outside the door.
Su Sanyue opened the door, and Xie Xiaoyu said, "Sanyue, let's go have breakfast."
Su Sanyue stepped aside to let them in, pointed to the messy stall, and said, "I might have to deal with the potatoes first."
"Hey, why is the water tank broken?" Zhu Xingyun walked in along the wall and asked in shock.
"Is it producing potatoes again? Why do they seem much bigger?" said Xie Xiaoyu.
Su Sanyue rolled up her sleeves, carefully put the broken pieces of the water tank aside, and reached out to pick the potatoes from the dark and soft soil.
"Let's find you some bags to put the potatoes in." Xie Xiaoyu was very enthusiastic when he saw such big potatoes.
"Remember to find a bigger bag." Su Sanyue reminded.
"I know." The two of them ran out happily.
The system was swinging from the potato seedlings. It looked at the large potatoes Su Sanyue had dug out and said, "Host, what are you going to do with all these potatoes?"
"It's nothing anyway. I'll go find a vegetable market to set up a stall and see if I can sell anything." Su Sanyue said.
Xie Xiaoyu asked the hotel staff to take ten bags of the largest size and returned to Su Sanyue's room.
Su Sanyue had picked out all the potatoes and lined them up in a row across the hallway. Now she was washing a potato in the bathtub.
After rinsing, they are directly packed into bags. One bag can only hold two potatoes, but there are twelve large potatoes here.
Xie Xiaoyu and Zhu Xingyun helped pack the potatoes into bags, and then the three of them went to the first floor of the hotel to have breakfast.
"March, Teacher Liu said we will stay on this planet for a few more days, so why don't we go shopping after dinner!" said Xie Xiaoyu.
Su Sanyue was just thinking of going to a nearby location to check out a stall, so she nodded.
After breakfast, the three of them walked around the neighborhood, bought some clothes to change into, and tried some local delicacies.
Su Sanyue bought a lightweight, retractable bathtub that could accommodate up to three people. She thought this retractable bathtub was exactly the new flower pot she needed, and placed an order on the spot.
At the same time, Su Sanyue also investigated the location for setting up the stall, and there happened to be a vegetable market nearby.
After returning to the hotel, Xie Xiaoyu and Zhu Xingyun were so tired that they prepared to take a nap.
Su Sanyue transplanted the potato seedlings into the newly bought bathtub, and then, carrying two bags of potatoes in one hand and two bags of potatoes around her neck, she walked out of the hotel door excitedly and came to the nearby vegetable market.
The system floated beside Su Sanyue and said, "It's a pity that Chunfeng Store has no space left. Otherwise, we could sell it inside the Chunfeng Store."
"We'll put it up when it goes into mass production," said Su Sanyue.
There were fewer people in the vegetable market in the afternoon. Su Sanyue found a corner, took out the big potatoes from the bag, spread the bag on the ground, and placed the potatoes on the bag.
An old man was selling vegetables at a stall nearby. When he saw Su Sanyue taking out such a large potato from the bag, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Young man, what are you selling? Why are you selling it at this time? Everyone's closed their stalls."
Su Sanyue sat on the ground, leaning against the wall and said, "Grandpa, I sell potatoes."
"Potatoes? How can there be potatoes this big?" The old man shifted the stool under his buttocks and leaned towards Su Sanyue. He took a closer look at Su Sanyue's things and said, "Oh my god, it really is a potato!"
"It's a new variety, very delicious. Grandpa, do you want to buy some to try?" Su Sanyue said enthusiastically.
"It's so big! Who can finish it? It will go bad if left for too long." said the old man.
"It's okay. I'll cut as much as you want." Su Sanyue took out a kitchen knife and placed it next to the potatoes.
"Then cut me a two-pound one and I'll start your business." The old man stood up and began to pack up his stall. "I have to go back home to cook for my wife. We'll have sour shredded potatoes today."
"Grandpa, you are my first customer today. I will give you one kilogram and cut three kilograms for you. You just need to give me four star coins." Su Sanyue said.
The old man took out a worn wallet from his pocket, counted out four star coins and gave them to Su Sanyue, saying, "Here, count them."
Su Sanyue put away the star coins, packed three pounds of potatoes and handed them to the old man, saying, "Here, Grandpa, take care. Come back and buy more when you like."
The old man picked up his stall, picked up the potatoes, and said, "My wife likes to eat potatoes. I want to see how she likes them. If she says they are delicious, I will come to you to buy more."
Su Sanyue smiled and said, "Then they will definitely say it's delicious."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Go home."
The old man carried his stall back to his home, which was on the second floor of an old community near the vegetable market.
He opened the door, put down his stall, and walked in with potatoes in his hand, saying, "Honey, I'm back."
A white-haired old lady sitting in a wheelchair turned her head to look at the door. She opened her mouth but could not speak.
The old man brought the potatoes to the kitchen and began to rinse and shred them, while the old woman came to the kitchen door in a wheelchair.
As he was cutting vegetables, he looked at the old lady and said, "Today I met a little girl who was selling potatoes after all the stalls were closed. Her potatoes were bigger than winter melons. I thought you liked them, so I bought some. I'm going to make you some sour shredded potatoes today."
"Ah, ah~" The old lady opened her mouth and could only make ah ah sounds.
"Don't worry, it will be ready soon." said the old man with a smile.
His wife used to be a soldier. Later, because of long-term and high-load use of supernatural powers on the battlefield, her mental energy was severely overdrawn, she suffered from mental exhaustion and was forced to retire.
Mental illness can only be treated and alleviated by a healing practitioner. The two spent all their savings and could only afford to hire a low-level healing practitioner. After the treatment, the condition was only stable for a period of time before it relapsed.
Having spent all his savings and unable to hire a healing psychic, the old man could only stay with his sick wife, and they had no children.
As the years went by, my wife's symptoms became more and more serious, from occasional headaches at the beginning, to memory loss, then weakness in her limbs and inability to walk, and now she can't even speak.
The old man took the sour potato shreds out of the pot, fried a bowl of vegetables, brought the dishes to the table, then pushed his wife to sit in front of the table and began to feed her mouthful by mouthful.
The aroma of sour shredded potatoes whets the appetite, and the old lady actually ate two bowls of rice today.
After making sure his wife was full and wiping her mouth, the old man filled his bowl with rice and started eating.
After he finished eating, he looked over and found that his wife had fallen asleep in the wheelchair.
Thinking that his wife had not had a good sleep for a long time, the old man cleaned up the dishes more quietly.
After washing the dishes, he sat on the sofa next to his wife and fanned her with a fan.
The old man looked at his wife and slowly fell asleep. After a while, he seemed to hear someone calling him.
"All together, stand forward... all together, stand forward..."
The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw that his wife had woken up. She opened her mouth and called out, "Qi Shouqian..."
He woke up instantly, quickly stood up, held his wife's hand, and said, "Hey, I'm here, honey, can you speak now?"
"Qi Shouqian..."
Although my wife can only say his name, it is already a big improvement.
Over the past few decades, Qi Shouqian watched his wife's symptoms become more and more serious day by day. He was sad, but there was nothing he could do. The damage to mental power was irreversible. Even a healing psychic could only alleviate the symptoms but not cure them.
Today, she can actually speak, and her symptoms seem to have eased.
However, Qi Shouqian was afraid that this was a terminal illness, so he quickly took his wife to the hospital for a check-up.
"It's incredible, the symptoms have actually been relieved!" A doctor exclaimed, holding the test results.
Qi Shouqian was so happy that he almost cried while holding his wife's hand.
"What did you do?" the doctor asked.
Qi Shouqian wiped his eyes and said, "I talk to her every day, give her a massage every morning, and make her a plate of sour shredded potatoes and vegetables at noon. She likes it very much and ate two bowls of rice..."
The doctor said, "That can only be because of your love. Your love moved the God of Fortune and gave your spouse the determination to live."
When Qi Shouqian pushed his wife back, he thanked the doctor repeatedly.
"Don't thank me. Thank yourself and your spouse," said the doctor.
In the afternoon, Su Sanyue had no business and was taking a nap against the wall. Qi Shouqian brought his stall to Su Sanyue's side.
Su Sanyue stretched and said, "Grandpa, why do you look so happy? Are my potatoes delicious?"
Qi Shouqian set up the stall, moved a stool and sat next to Su Sanyue, saying happily: "My wife called my name today~"
Su Sanyue was puzzled. How could she be so happy just because of a name?
Qi Shouqian continued, "Actually, my wife has a serious mental illness. She couldn't even speak before, but yesterday her symptoms suddenly eased and she can even call my name!"
Su Sanyue quickly said, "Congratulations, Grandpa, your wife will definitely get better!"
Qi Shouqian sighed and said, "Mental illness cannot be cured. I just hope her condition doesn't get any worse."
He added, "Your potatoes taste great. My wife likes them very much. Cut me two more pounds. I'll fry a plate for her when I get home tonight."
Su Sanyue quickly took out a kitchen knife and cut two pounds of potatoes for Qi Shouqian.
The system floated nearby and suddenly said, "Host, do you think our potatoes could possibly alleviate mental illness?"
