Chapter 329 Ginseng Seeds
"Yes, I'm back. Have you been well behaved these days?" Ye Qian asked the children.
"So well behaved." Needless to say, it must be Ningning who said this. After hearing Ningning's words, Ranran and Xixi were a little embarrassed. Then, seeing the things in the two people's hands, they immediately asked, "Dad, Mom, what did you bring back again?"
"It's your favorite fruit." Ye Qian was holding a pomelo. Cut pomelo this season is the most delicious, but the ones grown this year aren't very good. Gu Jinyan had bought one before, and it had a thick skin and astringent flesh. When the children heard it was a pomelo, their faces all changed. "Ah, pomelo!" The three children still remembered the pomelo from last time, and they all frowned, struggling with whether to eat it or not.
"Ah, what? You have never been hungry. Why don't you eat when you are so hungry?" Ye Qian said sternly. She grew this pomelo in the space using the seeds from the pomelo in the future. She had tasted it beforehand and it was delicious. What were the expressions on their faces? Ye Qian decided not to persuade them. They could eat it if they wanted. It was just right for her to eat it alone.
Gu Jinyan took all the dishes to the kitchen, then took out a fruit knife and cut the pomelo. The way of eating pomelo in the past was a little different from now. Everyone used a knife to cut it directly in half from the middle, and then broke it apart bit by bit to eat.
Gu Jinyan acted quickly, slicing the pomelo from top to bottom. After breaking it open, he was stunned. "The skin is so thin." The flesh inside was also juicy and tender. Gu Jinyan then cut a few more times, dividing the pomelo into small pieces. After putting the knife away, he ignored the three children and started eating.
The taste was sweet and tender, completely different from any grapefruit I'd ever had before. I immediately praised it, "Delicious."
The three children still didn't believe it. They were convinced that the delicious taste they had last time was just a bad memory. Ye Qian didn't force them. After all, it was time to eat. They could eat it or not. Not eating this would give them more food. Then, without caring about the children, she ate a small piece of grapefruit and went into the kitchen to help.
Auntie Lan had already put the shrimp and fish she brought back into the bucket. When she saw Ye Qian enter the kitchen, she asked, "Do you want shrimp or fish for dinner?"
"Shrimp, just steam it." She was a little greedy. It was hard to find shrimps in this season, but it was not hard to find them in other seasons either. When she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she saw a vendor selling small shrimp seedlings. Ye Qian thought that it didn't matter if the shrimp seedlings were big since she had a space, so she bought all the shrimp seedlings he had and raised them in the space.
Because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to catch the shrimp if she put them in the stream, she decided to fill a large bucket with stream water to raise them. Unexpectedly, they grew very quickly. In a week, they grew from half a bucket of small shrimp to a large basin of big shrimp. Ye Qian was stunned. If she hadn't bought a fish and planned to raise them in the water, the shrimp might have covered the ground.
She felt it was quite a bit when she was packing it, and when she steamed it, it filled up a large pot. After all, there were so many people in the family, and if she didn't, it wouldn't be enough. She also stir-fried two vegetables and steamed buns for dinner, but the amount wasn't large. Ye Qian also added some corn and sweet potatoes to make her feel fuller, and it would also be good to have more raw sugar.
Aunt Lan cooked while Ye Qian prepared the sauce on her own, and the meal was delicious.
After washing up in the evening, Ye Qian asked Gu Jinyan: "Do we sell ginseng here?"
Gu Jinyan immediately understood, "You want to grow ginseng in the space?"
"You guessed too quickly. I haven't said anything yet. Did you buy the ginseng?" Ye Qian asked.
"What kind of seeds do you want? Ginseng seedlings? I'm afraid they're difficult to get." Gu Jinyan seemed thoughtful.
Ye Qian didn't understand planting, but it seemed like anything could be grown in this space. She'd planted watermelon seeds directly into the soil, and they'd grown. She'd only found out back at school that watermelons couldn't be planted directly and needed to be raised as seedlings. But she'd managed to grow them anyway, so it didn't matter what kind of seeds she used, as long as they were the same thing. "I think one whisker would be enough."
"Ah." One whisker is enough, are you serious? Gu Jinyan didn't believe it.
Seeing that Gu Jinyan didn't believe it, Ye Qian explained a lot. After a long while, Gu Jinyan said half-heartedly, "If you just need it, it's easy. Just go to the pharmacy and buy it. It won't cost much."
"Is it that simple? Is it that easy?"
"Yeah." Gu Jinyan answered heavily, afraid that Ye Qian didn't hear it.
The next morning, Ye Qian actually went to the pharmacy and, in a daze, spent 50 yuan to buy a small dried ginseng. Then, she walked out of the pharmacy and exclaimed, "This ginseng is so easy to buy."
An old man passing by heard this and said to Ye Qian, "You have a young vintage, so it's definitely easy to buy. You can't even find the older vintages."
Ye Qian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Thank you, sir." Then she happily took the small ginseng home. No matter whether it would succeed or not, she would give it a try. Then she went to the seed store and bought some vegetable seeds that were not planted in the space. There was still a large area of land in the space, which was empty anyway, so she might as well plant some first.
The key point was that when buying these seeds, Ye Qian realized that ginseng seeds were also sold here. The 50 ginseng she had just bought was completely unnecessary. Ye Qian found a deserted corner and put all the seeds into the space. Then she took out the ginseng and an old hen, and said bitterly, "I'm going to stew you tonight. Ginseng chicken soup, a good tonic, hum."
The house was quiet today. Gu Jinyan was at work, the children were at school, and it was just her and Aunt Lan at home. Ye Qian didn't let Aunt Lan do anything, and went to the kitchen to prepare it herself. First, clean the chicken, then stuff it with glutinous rice, green onions, and garlic. After adding water, add ginseng, wolfberries, and red dates. Add salt and pepper to taste.
After Ye Qian lit the fire, she left the stove alone. After lunch, she said something to Aunt Lan and went upstairs.
Of course, it wasn't for rest, but to sort out how much hot pot base was left. Ye Qian wasn't going to sell hot pot, but spicy hot pot. In the future, this thing would open shops everywhere, and as long as the taste was even slightly better, the business would be very popular. She had already ordered a cart and pot outside.
There are two holes on the cart, which are used to place custom-made pots. The pot is divided into three compartments. One side is for spicy food, and both sides are filled with water for cooking. Nowadays, not many people eat spicy food. The other hole is used to hold the original soup. After the ingredients are cooked, you can add spicy food if you want it, and add soup if you want the original soup. It's perfect.
As for the dishes she wanted to eat, she certainly couldn't take them out from the space. Not only were there too many varieties of dishes in the space, but they also tasted too good. Their stall was already crowded, and if she used dishes from the space, it would be even more outrageous.
