The Zhenyuan fruit tree was taller than her, with lush branches and leaves, and was laden with small fruits.
The grapevines climbed all over the trellis, bearing more than a dozen bunches of grapes, which hung on the trellis and looked so tempting that they made one's mouth water at first glance.
The cucumbers have also produced quite a few fruits.
Moreover, there seemed to be more of both the round fruit and cucumbers than before. Luo Xinglan guessed that this was because of the high planting density, which allowed the fruit trees to absorb nutrients and utilize sunlight to the maximum extent.
The watermelons, corn, and tomatoes planted in the medium-grade soil were not yet ripe, and the potato vines were spreading all over the ground, but it was impossible to tell if they would bear fruit. Luo Xinglan dug up a vine with a shovel, and it did have potatoes, but they were too small to eat yet.
The only thing we could eat was bok choy. When bok choy is small, we can wash it and eat it with dipping sauce. When it grows a little bigger, we can stir-fry it. It seems like we can eat it at any stage of its growth.
The remaining wheat, soybeans, scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers planted on ordinary land are still in their growth period and not yet mature, but Luo Xinglan directly picked a lot of scallions and garlic sprouts, as both of these can be eaten at any stage.
The rice in the paddy fields is not yet ripe, but the medicinal herbs in the high-grade medicinal herb fields are ready to be harvested.
Finally, there were the sunflowers. Overnight, the sunflowers had grown considerably, and they appeared to be a climbing plant similar to Virginia creeper, densely covering the ground and even growing in areas where there was no soil.
Luo Xinglan suddenly remembered a text she had learned in elementary school called "The Feet of the Ivy". Sunflowers are somewhat similar to ivy, so do they have "feet"?
She crouched down, parted the leaves, and found that there really was one!
If you plant it outside, won't it quickly climb all over the wall?
Luo Xinglan thought to herself, "When I have more land, I'll plant a sunflower outside too. I already have one."
After observing the growth of various vegetables, Luo Xinglan happily began picking them.
To experience the joy of harvest, she didn't put the vegetables in her backpack, but instead made a basket out of weeds and put the picked vegetables in it.
Of course, there are also crops that wither because they missed their ripening period and were not harvested. There's nothing that can be done about that. Although it's a pity, she can't possibly get up in the middle of the night to pick vegetables, so losses are normal.
Luo Xinglan simply pulled up the withered crops and then planted the seeds.
She spent more than half an hour in the greenhouse before she finished picking all the vegetables: round jujubes, cucumbers, grapes, bok choy, scallions, and so on.
Garlic sprouts...
One basket wasn't enough, so they made three more, and they filled them all to the brim.
These are vegetables she grew herself. If she had a phone, she would definitely take a picture and post it on social media.
After carrying the vegetables back to the kitchen, Luo Xinglan picked out some for each of them, divided them into three portions, and gave them to Jiang Zifeng, Jiang Mingze, and Zhou Yiran respectively.
Zhou Yiran was extremely excited: "Lanlan, you're so good to me! There are grapes!"
Jiang Mingze: "A few days ago I was thinking that there were no leafy greens or fruits to eat at sea, and I might get sick. I didn't expect Sister Lan to bring them directly! Sister Lan is amazing!"
Jiang Zifeng: "Thanks, Xinglan."
Luo Xinglan: "Don't be shy, please eat as much as you like."
Jiang Zifeng: "I just got an [Exploration Card - Island] and I'm planning to explore it after lunch. Xinglan, do you want to come?"
Luo Xinglan: "Okay, since we have nothing to do today anyway, let's go explore and get some supplies."
Jiang Zifeng: "Okay, then I'll pick you up this afternoon."
Luo Xinglan: "Okay."
The group chat quieted down.
It was already noon, and Luo Xinglan started making lunch. Finally, there were fresh vegetables again today, but she felt a bit sore in her back from bending over to pick vegetables all morning. She didn't want to cook, so she washed the cucumbers, bok choy, and garlic sprouts and ate them with dipping sauce.
I was thinking of giving the little mouse a bag of steamed cake since it didn't like to eat, but to my surprise, it took a scallion that was longer than itself and ate it with great relish.
Luo Xinglan then stopped caring.
The baby frog is the easiest to raise. It usually eats things bought from the frog shop. Luo Xinglan is worried that it will suffer from malnutrition—although she doesn’t know if frogs can suffer from malnutrition.
Now, she earnestly advised the frog, "Little one, be good and eat a cucumber."
The frog stared at her with disdain.
Luo Xinglan: "..."
"Then you eat grapes."
The froglet kept watching.
"cucumber?"
Frog: Stare!
"Steamed cake?"
Baby Frog: Keep your eyes peeled!
"Fine, then you can just eat the weird-flavored peanuts."
Baby Frog: Keep watching!
A moment later, he suddenly realized what was happening, and his squinted eyes widened instantly as he looked at Luo Xinglan.
Luo Xinglan had no choice but to give it a bag of peanuts.
Sigh, I suddenly feel the heartache of a mother dealing with a picky eater...
…
The frog has eaten and drunk its fill and is ready to go on a trip again.
Luo Xinglan was almost in tears of bitterness.
I just got back this morning, and I have to go out again so soon?
Why do I suddenly feel a sense of helplessness towards elderly people left behind in rural areas?
Despite feeling sad, she quickly opened the frog shop, intending to buy things for it and put them in her backpack.
After opening it, I suddenly remembered that Frog Mall is closed today, so I can't buy anything!
Faced with the frog's expectant eyes, Luo Xinglan didn't know what to say.
Just as she was worrying, Jiang Mingze sent her a private message.
Jiang Mingze's tone was a mix of amusement and exasperation: "[Toy remote control car] [Crawling mat] [Cat toy], I'm impressed, Sister Lan! Can you imagine that this is the stuff I got from opening a gold chest? It's unbelievable! If I ever open a gold chest again, I'm a dog!"
Luo Xinglan couldn't smile right now. Every family has its own problems. Your problem is that you found toys in the box, while her problem is that she really doesn't know how to tell the frog that she didn't bring anything today!
Wait a minute!
Luo Xinglan paused.
[Remote control car] [Crawling mat] [Cat teaser]?
I wonder if the froglets will like these things?
Never mind, give it a try!
Luo Xinglan: "Jiang Mingze, give me these toys, I need them."
Jiang Mingze asked, his tone full of confusion, "No, Sister Lan, you play this?"
Luo Xinglan: "That's right, who isn't a baby at heart?"
Jiang Mingze: "..."
It's surprising that Sister Lan still has such a childlike heart.
Jiang Mingze: "You're out of trading opportunities today, right? I'll put it up for sale in the store, you can buy it."
He then packaged the three items and put them up for sale for 1 gold coin.
There's no need to worry about this item being snatched up. If the lowest price wasn't 1 gold coin, Jiang Mingze would have liked to list it at 0.
Luo Xinglan bought it from the store, put it in the frog's backpack, and instructed:
"Little frog, bring me back some materials for crafting equipment this time! I mean, the kind like Sun Essence, Moon Essence, Heavenly Treasure, and Earth Shell!"
The baby frog croaked and went outside.
The little mouse was already used to the frog's behavior and continued eating its scallions with sauce.
Mmm, it smells delicious!
