Chapter 9: Visiting the Market
I felt a few pounds lighter after finishing the thesis. When I handed it in to my instructor, it was already afternoon and the newly bought woven basket had arrived.
The fruits in the room can remain fresh for several days after being picked. After packing them in baskets, she doesn’t want to set up a stall, so she plans to buy seeds first to enrich her dining table.
Jincheng has a large farmers' market with a complete range of products. Due to convenient transportation, wholesale trade goods are relatively concentrated.
Today, Ye Zhen is going to the south gate of the farmers' market, where they sell all kinds of flower and fruit tree seedlings, fresh cut flowers, imported fresh fruits, imported or local seeds, etc...
As soon as you enter the south gate, you will see rows of flowers and plants. It is April, the time when everything grows. Red, yellow, white, hydroponically grown, soil-planted, hanging...
The place is full of vitality, and the air is filled with the fragrance of various flowers and plants.
Everywhere you look you can see people asking for prices and bargaining for flowers, as well as old men carrying fruit trees on small trailers. The atmosphere is very lively.
As you walk and look along the way, although the environment is not as fairy-like as the world of cultivation, it has another kind of life interest.
When he arrived at the seed shop, Ye Zhen already had an idea of what to buy.
The store is neatly arranged with small potted plants placed in every corner. The fresh air makes people relax unconsciously.
This store has the most active seeds. There are two pots of money trees with green leaves at the entrance. Various seed packages are arranged on the shelves. You can choose what you want. They also clearly distinguish between vegetable seeds and fruit seeds, imported and local...
Ye Zhen picked some cucumber, Chinese cabbage, lettuce and coriander seeds, all of which are common and grow fast.
There are also some fruit tree seedlings placed in front of the door, wrapped in soil. If you want to go home and farm, you can prepare to plant some fruit trees now and try planting them in your yard first. The time is also right.
After thinking about it, I turned around and asked my boss:
"Boss, what kinds of fruit trees can we plant here now?"
It’s really not Ye Zhen’s fault that he doesn’t know what to plant. The four seasons in the world of immortal cultivation are not distinct. If you want to plant something, you just need to find a good place and set up the formation, and you can have any environment you want.
As long as the spiritual energy is strong and you are willing to invest, you can plant anything!
"There are many, such as oranges, grapefruits, bayberries, loquats, plums..."
The boss talked for a long time and his mouth was dry, so he drank some water to moisten his throat.
He also reminded: "It depends on the location. Some places are suitable for growing fruits, and they grow big and good. If they are planted in inappropriate places, it's good that the fruit trees can survive. What do you want to plant? I'll recommend it to you. If nothing else, the fruit trees and seeds I have here are the latest research of the Agricultural Academy. Not only domestic seeds, but also most foreign seeds. I definitely have them here!"
Ye Zhen considered his father's acceptance and bought some common fruit tree seedlings. The prices of some fruit trees that have been around for many years have increased greatly, just like the price of cherries, which range from dozens to hundreds, depending on the age of the tree and the variety.
Ye Zhen thought about the yard at home and planned to plant a few trees first. When she returned, she would use spiritual energy to irrigate and cultivate them. After the fruit trees were optimized, she would cultivate seedlings. For her, as long as she had one fruit tree, she could optimize the characteristics of the fruit tree and make it the top tree species!
And she can grow any kind of tree.
Thinking about her family's preferences, as they all love bayberry, she specially bought three bayberry trees of different varieties. The fruit trees were pruned very well, with green fruits hidden among the scattered leaves.
She bought two plum trees, a pomegranate seedling and a pomelo seedling, all of which were several years old. She left her address and asked the boss to mail them to her. She also bought some difficult-to-grow foreign seeds recommended by the boss. This trip cost her several thousand yuan because she also bought an adult lychee tree. In addition to the expensive variety, the biggest expense was the transportation and mailing.
My pocket suddenly shrank by three points.
The boss also gave me a small bag of alfalfa seeds, saying that they could be used to fertilize the soil.
While it was still early, Ye Zhen continued to stroll around the farmers' market. The small potted flowers and fruit tree seedlings were placed cutely in front of the store, especially the various succulents, which were crystal clear and pink and tender. Just looking at them made me want to pinch them to see if water would come out of them.
Looking at so many small potted plants, an idea vaguely popped up in her mind. She had to sort out the specific plan. Everything would wait until she made money and returned home!
She returned to the rental house, took out the remaining small pots, and planted a few of the vegetable seeds she had bought today. She planned to set up a stall tomorrow, and decided to add some fruit varieties to increase her income.
She picked up the uneaten cherry tomatoes. Although she didn't want to see them again, money made her bow her head.
Plant a few more seeds and input some spiritual energy. Soon, the tree will be full of red fruits. After picking them, repeat the process several times. After filling a large basket, move on to the next one.
They didn't stop until they had harvested a basket of blueberries and two baskets of figs and their spiritual energy was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, these mortal species absorb little spiritual energy, not even as much as a weed that can be seen everywhere on the roadside in the wild in the world of cultivation. Their adaptability to spiritual energy is also different. Only because she has just started to practice again and there is not much spiritual energy, these mortal species can adapt. When she practices better in the later stages, she will be able to cultivate low-level spiritual species!
The strawberries, grapes and cherries picked a few days ago were packed together and placed on the tricycle.
At night, when everything was quiet, Ye Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed, making hand gestures and practicing his martial arts.
The room was filled with all kinds of fruit trees and vegetables. Wisps of spiritual energy were swirling around the room. The vitality obtained from the plants circled into Ye Zhen's body and then he gave it to the plants through his skills.
Plants breathe and grow...
The wind gently blew up the curtains, and the moonlight instantly filled a corner of the room, with a faint silver glow spreading all over the ground.
A few strands of spiritual light were attracted to Ye Zhen, and flowed along the windowsill, the door cracks, the ceiling... and gradually gathered into a huge streamlined light ball. As Ye Zhen breathed in and out, they slowly merged into a stream and poured towards Ye Zhen's head.
The night is still long...
Early in the morning, Ye Zhen ate some fruit, got on her tricycle, and excitedly headed to the market.
"Mom, let's go to the market and buy some more fruit today. Your granddaughter is craving for it."
Yang Hui's son was biting the last cherry he had snatched from his wife. His wife had secretly eaten all the strawberries in the morning before he woke up. There were only a few left, but she didn't leave any for him! This made him extremely resentful.
He searched the refrigerator desperately, and after making sure he didn't find it, he reminded the curly-haired lady in the kitchen.
Yang Hui rolled her eyes at her son and daughter-in-law: "I've been waiting for a long time, but the girl didn't come. I don't know if she will come today. I bought a few kilograms last time and gave some to your aunt. Your aunt calls every day to ask about it."
"Then buy a few more pounds if you have any. We didn't have enough last time. Buy more cherries this time. Your granddaughter loves them."
As Yang Hui's son was speaking, her daughter-in-law beside her was also looking at Yang Hui eagerly.
Yang Hui's son didn't expect that the fruits his mother bought tasted so good. He couldn't forget the taste after eating a little.
The little bit of fruit that the family bought was still gone after they saved it. If he hadn't been at work these days, he would have wanted to squat and wait every day!
"I know, I know. Stop talking so much. Go to work! You're going to be late." Yang Hui waved her hand impatiently.
"Then remember, Mom, buy more!" As her son went out, she did not forget to remind him even as his voice faded away.
Yang Hui waited until her son and daughter-in-law went out before returning to the kitchen. She took out a small bag of something from the cupboard, washed it and put it in a bowl. There were actually a few strawberries and a bunch of grapes.
Yang Hui carried the bowl back to the room with a proud look on her face. Her husband was already waiting there. The old couple were eating strawberries and grapes with very satisfied looks on their faces.
I knew my son and his friends would steal some of the food. Luckily, she had hidden some of it in advance.
