"Okay, let's settle the account as you said!"
Xu Lai didn't hesitate and readily accepted.
Finally, Chen Cheng gave Xu Lai ten 100-gram gold bars, one 10-gram gold bar, three 100-yuan work point cards, and six 10-yuan work point cards.
After putting the gold and work point cards into his backpack, Xu Lai used his mind to put them into his spatial storage.
"Young lady, Uncle Xu, you two go ahead with your work. We need to take advantage of how fresh these fruits are and deliver them to the customers who pre-ordered them!"
Upon hearing Chen Cheng's words, Xu Haiguo couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Such expensive fruit, and people are still pre-ordering it. It seems that even in an unusual society, there is no shortage of wealthy people!
After watching Chen Cheng and Hei Zi put the fruit down and get into the driver's seat, Xu Lai suddenly remembered the two portions of vegetables and two jars of pickled cowpeas that her mother had prepared. So she immediately called the two people who were about to start the car to a stop.
"Here, have some vegetables from our own garden, you can try them!"
Xu Lai held up the two bags prepared by Song Qiu'e with both hands and handed them to the window of the truck's driver's seat.
When Chen Cheng and Hei Zi heard that it was a dish, their eyes lit up instantly.
Vegetables are so scarce at this time of year.
Hei Zi bent over halfway, leaned out of the truck window, took two bags from Xu Lai, and handed the other bag to the boss.
The bag was quite handy; the two of them immediately knew it contained a good amount of vegetables.
"Uncle Xu, sister, thanks!"
Chen Cheng and Hei Zi both thanked Xu Lai and Xu Haiguo with touching expressions.
On the way back, Xu Haiguo sat on the electric tricycle, using a towel tied to his wrist to wet and wipe the sweat from his head and neck.
In the past, morning and evening
Xu Lai also parked his electric tricycle on the side of the road and was tilting his head back to pour water into his mouth.
Living in such high temperatures every day only intensifies the resentment of people who already face hardship.
A few people not far away bumped into each other while walking, and the two sides started fighting.
Xu Lai and Xu Haiguo didn't want to get into trouble, so after their father sat down, Xu Lai quickly rode his electric bike around to the other side.
As soon as they got home, Xu Lai and Xu Haiguo, who were so hot they felt like they were about to explode, rushed into the air-conditioned room.
Xu Jiangming and the other two got water, fruit, and stools.
Once Xu Lai sat down on the stool, eating the chilled grapes she had taken from the refrigerator and enjoying the comfortable air conditioning, she finally felt alive again.
Xu Haiguo doesn't like eating grapes that are too sweet, but he was holding a cup of herbal tea that his wife had brewed and had already cooled down, and he was drinking it with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Once the two calmed down, they told everyone the price of the fruit they had just sold.
Xu Lai also took the gold out of her spatial storage and placed it on an empty table in the air-conditioned room.
The gold her family earned from selling grain was more than double what it is now, but Song Qiu'e wasn't very interested in the gold on the table.
It was only through selling fruit this time that I realized how high the price of fruit is.
"After this crop is harvested, let's plant more fruit trees!"
Xu Jiangming made a decision immediately.
There are a few small open spaces in the vegetable garden, but these are for growing vegetables and cannot be occupied.
After all, there are five people in their family, and they need a lot of vegetables for three meals a day.
"I agree with Second Uncle!"
Song Qiu'e and Xu Haiguo both support a variety of fruits, and on this five and a half mu of land, they grow rice and wheat.
After the harvest, the grain in the space will be enough for their family to eat for at least two years.
Xu Lai was thinking about buying a minivan, but at this time, minivans certainly wouldn't be cheap.
Their family still needs to earn more money.
"Alright, we'll listen to Second Uncle. Anyway, we still have cantaloupe and watermelon seeds. Oh, right, I remember we bought a lot of honeydew melon seeds before, so we'll plant those too!"
When the seeds of fruits like cucumbers, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons are ripe, you can select the larger fruits to save for future planting.
Xu Jiangming drank a cup of herbal tea and remembered that his eldest granddaughter had been thinking about tofu every day for the past two days. So he stood up and said to Xu Lai, "Lai Lai, send me into your space. I'll soak the soybeans for making tofu today!"
Second Uncle is about to start making tofu, and Xu Lai looks very happy!
After she ate the last sun-dried green grape, she stood up, walked directly to her second great-uncle's side, took his hand, and escorted him into the space.
"Dad, Mom, Xiao Chao, are you going to the space?"
Song Qiu'e and Xu Haiguo were also thinking about the few empty plots of land in the vegetable garden in the space, and they needed to plant the next batch of vegetables as soon as possible.
The couple nodded quickly.
Before his sister returned, Xu Chao had been self-studying trigonometric functions in high school mathematics.
There was a question he still didn't quite understand, so he picked up a book and said to Xu Lai, "Sister, I won't go. I'll read for a while longer!"
No matter when, aside from life and death and survival, learning is naturally the most important thing.
Xu Chaoneng's family was very happy that he persisted in his studies despite the circumstances.
"Okay, then study hard while you're away!"
Xu Lai replied to her younger brother and then entered the space with her parents.
Upon arriving at the space, Xu Lai saw that her second uncle had already taken the soybeans from the space warehouse to the warehouse door, and was sitting at the door using a sieve to select the soybeans.
"Second Uncle, I'll pick some soybeans too!"
Xu Lai loves eating soy products and is quite interested in them, so she wants to learn how to make tofu from her second uncle.
"Okay, just pick out the broken and blackened soybeans!"
