The hero ate half of it in one gulp, sniffed the remaining half and left.
White Sesame, who had been waiting in secret, rushed out immediately when he saw it walk away, buried his head in Black Sesame's food bowl and devoured it.
Su Tao was startled and grabbed its neck to stop it:
"Are you starving? You ate a 100-gram can of food last night and you're still not full? No, you can't eat anymore. Open your mouth!"
White Sesame is now showing signs of gaining weight. Although they were born on the same day, they are four kilograms heavier than Black Sesame.
Every time we eat, it eats faster than black sesame seeds, and after finishing eating, it puts its head into other people's bowls.
When two cats lie together, the white sesame seeds look like steamed buns made of leavened dough.
Su Tao was afraid that eating too much would be bad for its health, so she trained it for a long time before snatching the food bowl away from it.
Bai Zhima meowed for a long time, rolling and rubbing her legs at her feet, acting like a spoiled child.
Su Tao had long been accustomed to its behavior and was not moved at all. She just continued to do what she was supposed to do.
Bai Zhima was persistent and would stay next to her when she slept at night, rubbing his furry head against her neck.
Su Tao had no choice but to let it flatter and act coquettishly without any restraint, pretending not to see it, turning off the lights and going to sleep.
The next day, Su Tao went to the office building to handle various matters as usual. Suddenly, Zhuang Wan, who was standing next to her, received a phone call. After listening to the call, she said in a bad mood:
"Before you canceled the lease, I told you very clearly, right? If you regretted it, you wouldn't have the chance to move in again. You agreed to that at the time, so now you're saying you can't leave Taoyang. What do you mean by that?"
The person opposite hesitated, "Manager Zhuang, we were overly worried after the explosion. We have children at home, so we were overly cautious as parents. Please understand. We truly regret leaving Taoyang and realizing our house is completely uninhabitable. Our children don't even have a good environment to grow up in."
Zhuang Wan said sternly, "Ms. Dai, we have to follow the rules. We've explained everything we should have told you before we moved out. You're all aware of the housing shortage in Taoyang. It's impossible for me to keep the house just for you after you move out, right?"
"Manager Zhuang, is there really no room for negotiation? We've always followed Taoyang's rules and regulations throughout our tenancy, and we get along well with our neighbors. We're just concerned parents. Can't you be flexible?"
Zhuang Wan patiently said, "Ms. Dai, adults are responsible for their own choices. If I give you an accommodative agreement, everyone who wants to cancel their lease will come to me. What's the point of that agreement then?"
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds and then he hung up.
Su Tao understood roughly what he heard and asked:
"Is this the family of three who previously moved out of the two-bedroom apartment in Unit 010?"
Zhuang Wan said angrily, "Yes, they said some really harsh things when they were moving out. They said they would never regret it, that if there was an explosion once, there would be a second one, and that life was more important than quality of life. Before they left, they even instigated Gan Hongyu and his wife to move out with them."
"I guess they heard that the people involved in the bombing were arrested, and since they couldn't find suitable accommodation, they wanted to return to Taoyang. How is that possible? Do they think what was written in the agreement is nonsense?"
Su Tao said, "Don't bother with it. If I call you again, you can ask them to come and confront me."
If you go to her, she won't treat you politely.
Zhuang Wan took a big sip of water to cool down, agreed, and talked about other things:
"I've seen that Mr. Gu is getting better and better, and he's more awake. I stopped by to see him last night, and he recognized me, calling me Xiaozhuang. He even asked me why I hadn't come. The nurse was surprised."
Su Tao was also quite surprised: "I'll go see him this afternoon."
Zhuang Wan added, "Speaking of the old man, Gu Mingchi seems to have been much quieter recently. He hasn't called or sent anything to the old man. It's really rare."
Su Tao said that she immediately thought of the last time she asked Gu Mingchi to take side.
Maybe he is still struggling with his conscience and will not call her until he has made up his mind.
Great, I can finally have some peace and quiet for a while.
As they were talking, Qian Lin hurried upstairs and saw Su Tao. She gasped and said excitedly:
"Boss, the first batch of vegetables Wu Zhen cultivated has been harvested. The yield is as high as 80 kilograms, which is nearly three times higher than the previous yield. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Su Tao and Zhuang Wan were both startled and followed her to the sunroom.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see baskets of green vegetables piled up. Some of them have no place to be placed and can only be piled in the corridor.
The four technical staff members also had happy expressions on their faces and were writing statistics furiously.
Su Tao went over and looked through the vegetables. Each one was plump and had big leaves, and they looked especially good.
Qian Lin beamed with joy. "Thanks to Wu Zhen, I thought a double harvest would be great, but I didn't expect it to be nearly triple. Now we can fully guarantee the internal supply and sales of Taoyang and Panliu Mountain, and maybe even sell it to the outside world after a while."
Su Tao was also very happy: "I'll ask Chef Qin to make a vegetable feast tonight and everyone can eat to their heart's content."
Everyone around was delighted to hear this. After trying Chef Qin's dishes, no one failed to praise them. They were in for another treat tonight.
Qian Lin continued, "Oh, boss, I have a problem. We have more and more tenants. Every time a tenant comes to buy groceries, we have to have someone to accompany them. There are at least ten people coming every day. We have too few employees at the plantation now. Everyone has their own job, and it's inconvenient for anyone to leave. Can you hire a few more people specifically responsible for sales?"
Su Tao thought about it and nodded: "Indeed, and after the vegetable products are put on the market, more and more tenants will come to buy them. I will discuss this matter with Zhuang Wan."
She also thought of another problem. Nowadays, people run around to buy things. They have to go to the cafeteria on the first floor to buy food and drinks, go to the third floor to buy vegetables, and go to the apartment building to buy daily necessities. There is no centralized shopping place.
She wondered if she should build a place similar to a shopping mall where they could go to buy things.
Su Tao put this plan on her to-do list.
She walked around the sunroom and saw Wu Zhen, who was concentrating on observing the new seedlings on the last row of shelves.
At this moment, he was far from the lifeless man he was a week ago. He was full of energy, seriousness and determination.
Qian Lin whispered to Su Tao:
"Last night at 11 o'clock I saw the light in the sunroom was on. I thought someone had left it on last, but when I went over I found out it was Wu Zhen still cultivating new seedlings."
"I went up to him and persuaded him to go to bed early, but he told me that he couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of his wife and children. He only forced himself to sleep for a while when he was extremely tired. So I didn't dare persuade him."
Su Tao nodded in understanding: "It's okay, time can heal, work can make him forget the bad things and it can be regarded as a kind of redemption. Usually, please take good care of him."
Qian Lin sighed: "That's for sure."
The news of the high yield of Taoyang Plantation became popular in less than half a day, and the tenants who heard the news crowded the third floor.
Su Tao even saw Grandma Cen pushing a small cart to buy things, but when she came back she only filled less than half of the cart.
She said to Su Tao with great sorrow:
"Tao girl, why are we still limiting purchases when our production has increased? I'm not buying this just for myself. You know, I share it with everyone after I make it. There will definitely be no waste."
Su Tao comforted her: "It's not like before. It's supplied every week. If you feel it's not enough, you can go again next week."
Grandma Cen exclaimed, "Oh, that's great! I thought it would be the same as before, only selling once a month. Looking at all the vegetables, I wish I could drag them all home. That's great! Tao girl is awesome! Our Taoyang is getting better and better."
