"Let's go, I'll take you to see the orchards and flower gardens!"
So, a group of people used flying boards to fly directly over Area 1 and enter Area 2.
This area is planted with crops, fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of flowers.
Many of the crops were in their ripening stage, and Yao Yao and her team were harvesting them with robots.
Upon seeing Sang Ning and the others arrive, A Sheng smiled and said, "Are you thirsty? How about I pick a watermelon for you to try?"
"Give me one!"
These are the first batch of watermelons planted. Watermelons are naturally suited to growing in sandy soil.
However, since there were no watermelons on planet E72 before, and they could not be grown there, the watermelon seeds were also genetically modified varieties purchased from the Plant Research Center.
Sang Ning hasn't tried what it tastes like yet.
Qin Heng and the others were the same.
Therefore, a group of people were full of expectations for this new variety of watermelon.
Ah Sheng was very fast; in no time, he returned carrying a large, black-skinned watermelon that weighed over ten pounds.
"This is definitely cooked through, but it's hard to say whether it will taste good."
As she spoke, she placed the watermelon on the technological cloth that Sang Ning had taken out, and then took out a knife to cut the watermelon.
The green flesh of the melon releases a sweet aroma when cut open.
It smells really nice.
"It looks kind of delicious."
Qin Heng swallowed hard, his face full of longing, and said, "Mainly because the taste suits my palate quite well."
"Eat more if you like."
Ah Sheng handed him a piece, and after he took it, she shared it with Lois and the others, with Sang Ning being the last one.
Then, a group of people squatted by the melon field and ate watermelons.
Qin Heng and the others ate with gusto, their faces beaming.
Sang Ning took a bite and her expression changed slightly. Well, this watermelon wasn't bad at all.
The perfect balance of sweetness and hydration suited her taste perfectly.
But the taste was rather indescribable; it didn't taste like the watermelon she remembered, but rather like a crisp peach.
After finishing one piece of melon, Ah Sheng handed her another, but Sang Ning waved her hand and refused, saying, "You eat it yourself, one piece is enough for me."
With a flick of her wrist, Ah Sheng popped the watermelon into her mouth.
As she ate, she said, "The watermelon yield is quite high, reaching about 10,000 jin per mu."
As she spoke, she said with some concern, "We planted too many, several thousand acres of watermelons. Now that they're ripening, how are we going to deal with so many watermelons in such a short time?"
Sang Ning looked at her and said, "Just tell me what you want me to do."
"hey-hey!"
Ah Sheng grinned, showing off her small, white teeth. Qin Heng and the others watched her with interest, when she said—
"Ningning, why don't you start a live stream and see if anyone wants to buy our watermelons?"
Sanning, "???"
Sang Ning's eyes widened suddenly, but Qin Heng and the others' eyes lit up, thinking that this idea was feasible.
"Let's do it!"
Qin Heng said firmly, "Ningning, you have a good reputation. If you sell watermelons online, you won't have to worry about not having customers."
Sang Ning rolled her eyes. "I know I won't have trouble finding customers, but the shipping costs are expensive for retail."
She solemnly reminded them, "Don't forget, we don't have an air route yet, which means that not only will the courier companies have to handle large volumes of our orders, but they will also have to pay high prices."
"The shipping fee for selling a packaged product to the same planet is negotiable, but the shipping fee for this kind of retail sales to various political planets is not negotiable."
"The most important thing is that watermelons are not expensive. I'm worried that if we do this, we might not only not make any money, but also lose money on delivery fees."
The group quickly did the math and found that what she said was not only possible, but quite likely.
He immediately panicked.
"What are we going to do? There are so many watermelons, we can't just let them all rot in the field or eat them all ourselves!"
Wu Yurong looked anxious. "How about we help you think of a solution?"
"No need, I'll contact Mr. Wei."
Qin Heng, "That Mr. Wei who sells starflowers?"
Ah Sheng, "That Mr. Wei who bought the dried meat?"
Sang Ning nodded and contacted Wei Lanlan directly.
The other end answered almost instantly; before the holographic projection was even fully formed, Wei Lanlan's impatient voice came through.
"Ningning, is my jerky ready?"
Sang Ning: "...Not yet."
She chuckled awkwardly, "But it'll be quick. I'll ship it to you as soon as it's ready."
Wei Lanlan was quite disappointed when she heard this, but she also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.
Her gaze shifted, and she saw the scenery behind Sang Ning, as well as the watermelons in A Sheng and the others' hands, and she immediately smiled.
"You've grown a lot of watermelons, but this color..."
After carefully examining the color of the watermelons in Ah Sheng's hands, she asked in bewilderment, "Why are they green?"
"An improved variety, with a crisp and tender texture."
Sang Ning picked up a slice of watermelon and said, "Sister Lan, would you like to try some? It's quite delicious."
"Activate your five senses and let me try it."
"Okay!"
Soon, the holographic five senses were activated.
Instantly, Wei Lanlan smelled the sweet aroma of watermelon. She took a deep breath and thought to herself, "This is so sweet and fragrant."
Then, after taking a virtual bite, her eyes immediately lit up with amazement.
"Ningning, are you selling this watermelon?"
Sanning, "······"
I just wanted you to introduce me to a restaurant where I can eat a whole watermelon at once, but you actually want to do it yourself.
Great, that was good.
"Sell!"
Sang Ning smiled and asked, "Sister, do you want some?"
"We'll have to wait..."
Realizing her mistake as soon as the words left her mouth, Wei Lanlan said seriously, "I forgot to ask, how many watermelons do you have?"
