Chapter 270 Wait and See
The vegetables grow day by day and can finally be harvested.
Ye Li led his people into the greenhouse to harvest, and they harvested a variety of fresh and green vegetables, and everyone got a share.
Everyone took their baskets and went home, they were so happy. It was winter now, and the vegetables originally planted in the open fields had been eaten up long ago. Because of the cold weather, they did not grow. Therefore, the people on the second elder's side had no vegetables. They could only eat some staple food mixed with a little meat every day. They ate so much meat that they almost vomited.
"Where did you get these vegetables?" The people on the second elder's side looked at the people here carrying baskets of green vegetables back home. They were so envious that their eyes turned green and they couldn't stop swallowing.
“Of course we grow them ourselves!”
"You grew them yourself? You're kidding! How can you grow spring vegetables in this freezing weather?"
Ye Li's people proudly carried their baskets of vegetables home and said, "Believe it or not, we grew them ourselves."
Upon hearing the news, the people from the Second Elder's side came over to watch the fun. Seeing that the people from Ye Li's side had received vegetables one by one, they now wished they could become like them.
Some people with ulterior motives wanted to cause trouble, but when they saw Li Yuan and his men patrolling outside the greenhouse, no one dared to move.
Ye Li plucked a head of lettuce and threw it into the basket. He smiled and said to Li Sangtian and the others, "Thank you for your hard work! The vegetables grown in this greenhouse are even better than I imagined."
Li Sangtian said with a beaming smile, "Thanks to your guidance, Great Elder, we're able to achieve today's harvest. The potatoes are also growing very well. By the time we harvest them, our food shortage will be completely solved."
"I'll go and take a look." Ye Li walked to the potato field and gently pulled up a potato. It had grown into shape. It would take some time for it to grow up, but it was not easy to grow into this shape in such a short period of time.
Ye Li warned Li Sangtian and the others, "Remember to control the temperature in the greenhouse. Don't turn off the fire suddenly or the temperature will drop. Got it?"
"Yes, we understand."
"Also, be careful not to cause a fire. If the greenhouse burns down, everything will be over!"
Li Yuan has collected almost all the plastics in the vicinity. If they were burned, I don’t know where I could find these plastic films again.
Li Sangtian and others quickly responded: "Yes."
After inspecting the greenhouse on the farm and picking up the vegetables she had picked, Ye Li was escorted all the way home by the guards.
After arriving home, the guards followed Ye Li's instructions and went to the bathroom to burn firewood and were not allowed to go up to the tree house.
At home, Xiao Xun was playing with building blocks with his two children. When he saw Ye Li coming back, he stopped and warmly welcomed Ye Li.
Xiao Xun took the basket from Ye Li and said with a smile, "What fresh vegetables! This pineapple can be used to make soup, the lettuce can be stir-fried, and the cucumber can be used to stir-fry meat."
Ye Li said, "Let's change our meal today. How about barbecue? You hunted the wild boar a few days ago, and there's some pork belly left. Why don't we grill it and wrap it with lettuce, garlic, and some pickled cabbage I made. It's sure to taste amazing."
"Okay! Okay!" Xiaomu and Xixi echoed.
"Okay." Xiao Xun agreed immediately.
"You two continue playing here." Ye Li and Xiao Xun entered the kitchen together and began to busy themselves preparing ingredients for the barbecue.
As for the charcoal fire, it is ready. The charcoal basin under the table is burning brightly. All we need to do when the time comes is to put the pot on it.
"It seems that your greenhouse is very successful." Xiao Xun lowered his head to cut the pork belly and asked with a smile.
"That's right." Ye Li also smiled and looked at him, saying, "Thank you for taking care of the children for me these days."
"It's not hard at all. They are my children too," said Xiao Xun.
Ye Li put down the vegetables in his hand, hugged Xiao Xun from behind, and said with his face against his back: "I have been very busy these days and neglected you. When I have some free time, I will definitely spend time with you."
"Okay." Xiao Xun agreed. He turned around and hugged Ye Li. He bent down and kissed her hair and said, "You must compensate me well when the time comes, otherwise I will never let you go."
Xiao Xun asked again, "The Second Elder's issue hasn't been resolved yet, but I have a feeling you're holding back something. What are you going to do next?"
"Of course I'll just farm the land. What else can I do?" Ye Li said with a smirk.
Xiao Xun didn't expose her, "Then I'll wait and see."
