It won’t arouse suspicion.”
Xie Sen saw that he said it so lightly and thought that he must not be an ordinary businessman. He thought for a moment and said, "I can agree to this, but if the cultivation is successful, you have to provide me with potatoes for free every week."
This way he wouldn't have to expend energy eating potatoes, nor would he have to go through the trouble of growing them himself.
"No problem!" the old man agreed immediately.
Xie Sen returned to his room, exchanged one energy for a potato, took it to the living room and handed it to the old man. The old man was delighted, turned the potato over, looked at it, and leaned in to smell it.
"This is much better than what the institute breeds!"
Seeing his expression, Xie Sen couldn't help but said, "If you eat it, there will be nothing left."
The old man coughed dryly and said, "I still know the importance of things." He stood up and was about to say goodbye, but then he thought of something and sat back in his original seat, looking at Xie Sen expectantly, "Can I have a chili too?"
Xie Sen thought about it. The potatoes had already been given to him, so there was nothing to hide about the peppers. If they could really be cultivated, he wouldn't have to worry about food.
He went back to his room to exchange for a pepper, and when he was about to pick it, he suddenly had an idea. After he went out, he did not go to the living room, but went to the kitchen.
When he came to the living room again, his eyes and nose were red. He held a small paper bag in his hand and handed it to the old man: "These are pepper seeds, just right for cultivation. Don't touch them directly with your hands, they are too spicy."
The old man carefully took the paper package and looked at Xie Sen with shining eyes: "Where is the rest?"
Xie Sen raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled without saying anything.
He thought that since he had to spend energy to exchange for chili peppers, he might as well make the best use of them. He ordered the chili peppers to retain the seeds and fry the rest into powder. He gave the seeds to the old man for research and kept the chili powder to make spicy jerky.
Fortunately, the pepper tree listened to his instructions, otherwise if he tried to separate the peppers himself, his hands would definitely be swollen from the heat.
The league starts tomorrow, so I'll make some spicy dried meat to take with me, as food in the wild is too unstable.
Even without him saying it, the old man could already guess: "Are you going to make spicy meat jerky? Sell me half a pound. I won't give it away for free. I want to buy it!"
Xie Sen smiled and nodded in agreement: "I'll send it to you later."
The old man left with satisfaction. After a while, Maine came back. Xie Sen asked him to take a shower first while he went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
After dinner, he went to the kitchen to make spicy dried meat. He made four pounds in total, leaving half a pound for the old man, and divided the rest into four portions and packed them into four food boxes.
After packing, he sent the old man's half pound to the next door, then borrowed a backpack from Maine and put all the rest into the backpack.
The next day, he carried a backpack and took Maine's shuttle to school.
The contestants were sent by the school to the southernmost part of Yuzhu Island. At 10 o'clock, all the contestants set off together to the northernmost part.
After arriving at school, Xie Sen was very excited: "I am looking forward to meeting my teammates."
Maine, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and long pants, walked side by side with him, but he didn't understand his feelings: "It's not like you don't know them."
Xie Sen said: "How is this different from usual? What's more, I haven't spoken to Bai Jiao yet!"
He paused and looked around: "Do you feel that...the way our classmates look at us is not right?"
Maine was not affected at all: "It would be strange if it was right." He was already used to all kinds of gazes.
"Here!" As soon as they arrived at the playground, they saw Long Teng jumping and waving at them. Next to him stood a handsome young man with long white hair, who was Bai Jiao.
When the four of them met, Xie Sen smiled and said to Bai Jiao: "Hello, I'm Xie Sen."
Bai Jiao's voice is very clean and sounds very comfortable: "Hello, I am Bai Jiao."
"Haha," Long Teng laughed, "You two are too formal!"
As he spoke, he put his hand on Xie Sen's shoulder and looked into his backpack: "Grandpa said you made something delicious. Is it in the backpack?"
Maine twisted his collar and pulled him away. Bai Jiao looked at Maine and said, "The situation is not good. Someone paid a high price and bribed a lot of teams to stop us."
Xie Sen frowned, and immediately thought of Rui Luo, and said unhappily: "The organizer doesn't care?"
Maine said: "This kind of thing is difficult to investigate. The organizers encourage contestants to set obstacles for their opponents."
"What are you afraid of? I'll beat anyone who comes my way!" Long Teng jumped on the spot, his face full of excitement.
