Tired from walking around, the three of them went back.
Before heading home, I stopped by the grocery store to buy some groceries for dinner.
While Qiao Qiqi was picking out vegetables, Fang Ke saw apples and pears next door. Seeing that the apples looked very similar to the ones Qiao Qiqi had bought, he immediately asked, "Qiqi, did you buy your apples from here? They look the same."
Qiao Qiqi turned her head at the sound and looked at the apple in Fang Ke's hand.
Those weren't bought by her; they were clearly apples from her online store.
"Yes." She nodded.
Fang Ke then looked away and asked the sales clerk, "How much are these apples?"
"Eight cents."
Qiao Qiqi: "!!"
She never expected that she could buy it for only 60 cents wholesale, but it was being sold for 80 cents here, a full 20 cents more!
Fang Ke then asked about the grapes, and the salesperson replied, "One yuan and fifty cents."
Seeing that Fang Ke seemed about to buy it, Qiao Qiqi immediately grabbed her hand, "Forget it, it's too expensive. We still have apples at home, don't buy any more. We'll buy more after we finish eating them."
"If there are apples, then let's not buy apples, let's buy some grapes instead!" Fang Ke let go of her hand and called out, "Boss, two bunches of grapes, please."
Goodness, the last two bunches of grapes weighed three pounds and eight ounces together, and cost five yuan and seventy cents.
Qiao Qiqi immediately started calculating in her mind how much she would need to buy wholesale...
Four dollars and fifty-six cents.
I lost a total of one dollar and fourteen cents!
It hurts!
Seeing Fang Ke return home, immediately wash the grapes, pop one into her mouth, and say, "So sweet!" Qiao Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, comforting herself in her heart: Oh well, at least I made back the two pounds of apples.
After finishing her afternoon nap, she immediately put the matter out of her mind, because Qiao Qiqi finally had time to make some time for herself.
She hadn't had time to plant the rapeseed and farming tools she bought, so they just sat in her online space.
Since we have some time now, let's go into the space and turn the ground upside down.
It's true that it always seems easy for others to do the work, but when it's your turn, it's incredibly difficult.
Because she had no experience and relied entirely on memory, she was exhausted after only turning over a small patch of land.
Quickly drink a cup of spiritual spring water to replenish your strength, then continue flipping.
Relying on the spiritual spring water, they finally managed to clear a ten-meter square plot of land in two hours. They quickly prepared the ridges, sowed the seeds, buried them, and finally watered the land.
Since there was only spiritual spring water in the space, Qiao Qiqi splurged and directly connected the water pipe to fill all the furrows.
When it was halfway through watering, the water that was initially poured had completely seeped in.
Under Qiao Qiqi's watchful gaze, a tender green shoot suddenly emerged from the ridges, then quickly grew to a height of three or four centimeters, and finally sprouted two small buds!
Seeing that the Spirit Spring water had this magical effect of accelerating crop growth, Qiao Qiqi immediately added more Spirit Spring water to the area.
Unfortunately, no matter how much water she poured, the seedlings stopped growing.
Realizing that the effects of the spiritual spring water were also limited, Qiao Qiqi stopped wasting it, quickly finished watering the remaining land, washed her hands, and called it a day.
It took a total of three hours to plant green beans, cucumbers, eggplants, and scallions.
She only has these four kinds of seeds right now. She'll try planting them first. If they work, she'll buy some more seeds for vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes, turn over all the soil, and plant them all. That way, she won't have to worry about growing her own vegetables, and she can even sell them.
Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but fantasize that it would be wonderful if these vegetables could grow endlessly, just like fruits.
Because it was her first time trying this, Qiao Qiqi was afraid that having too high expectations would lead to disappointment, so she didn't dare to have too much hope.
However, if crops are acceptable, grains, such as soybeans and corn, are also acceptable.
Soybeans can be used to make sauces and to extract soybean oil.
There are even more ways to cook corn. Qiao Qiqi herself likes all things corn-flavored, so she'll cook it however she wants once it's grown.
Turning the soil is just too tiring. Even with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, she's the one who suffers from the exhaustion.
For someone who has never worked in the fields before, it's really hard to bear.
After leaving the space, Qiao Qiqi lay on the bed for another half hour before going out.
Fang Jingru arrived again right after we finished eating.
Qiao Qiqi immediately handed her the two articles she had written the day before, and Fang Ke sat down to join in the fun, writing one article each with Fang Jingru.
Fang Ke watched a rural story, and after watching for a while, he instantly fell in love with it. After finishing it, he even felt a little unsatisfied.
"Qiqi, did you make up this story? You're so talented! You can write such a good story, did you really only go to the third grade of elementary school?"
Fang Ke's face was full of disbelief. She couldn't wait to look at what Fang Jingru was holding, but Fang Jingru slapped her hand away, saying, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished looking at it yet."
Fang Ke glanced at it a few times and saw that Fang Jingru's was not the same style as hers, so she was no longer in a hurry.
Qiao Qiqi placed the pear soup on the coffee table. "I've loved reading since I was little. Sometimes when I come across something I like, I think about writing it down myself. But this is my first time trying to write something like this. I don't know if it's possible."
Fang Ke picked up the pear soup and took two sips. "You'll have to ask my aunt. Although I think it's pretty good, the decision is still in her hands."
Qiao Qiqi was also waiting for Fang Jingru's results, but after reading one, she didn't say anything. She immediately picked up the one next to Fang Ke's leg and continued reading. When she saw that it was a rural story, her expression became even more serious.
After reading it, she took a sip of water before looking at Qiao Qiqi and asking, "Is this your first time trying to write in this style?"
Qiao Qiqi nodded, "Yes!"
"Could you write a bit longer? Like, tens of thousands of words?"
Qiao Qiqi's eyes flashed, realizing that Fang Jingru meant for her to write a serial. Although she knew she could definitely do it, she pretended to think about it carefully before nodding.
"I think it should be possible."
Seeing her confidence, Fang Jingru immediately asked her father to find her a newspaper from home.
Mr. Fang's study had many newspapers, as he read them every day because of his work.
Fang Jingru picked through the papers and quickly selected three to show Qiao Qiqi. "Take a look at these. These are all written by serial authors from my newspaper. If you can write these kinds of papers, the royalties will be quite substantial."
Qiao Qiqi took a closer look and found that two of the three were rural stories, and the other was a ghost story, which she could also accept!
But she still didn't give Fang Jingru any guarantees, only saying, "I can try to write one and see if it works for you."
"Okay!" Fang Jingru realized that the matter was basically settled when she saw that she was willing.
After a few days of getting to know her, Fang Jingru could tell that Qiao Qiqi was not one to make promises she couldn't keep, but since this girl dared to agree to something, there was absolutely nothing she couldn't do. So when Fang Jingru heard her say that she could give it a try, she knew that the matter was settled.
