Chapter 5 The Season of Harvest

After more than 20 days of hard work, it is finally the harvest season.Speaking of which, the Taoyuan space is really powerful. Vegetables that can only grow in a few months outside are ripe in 20 days in the Taoyuan space, and the vegetables grow very well.In the past 20 days, Li Wei has worked in the Taoyuan space for more than ten days, setting up shelves for vegetables and artificially pollinating them.Although he was exhausted enough, Li Wei thought it was worth it seeing his obviously slimming stomach and getting better and better body.

During this period, Li Wei bought bamboo blanks, bamboo baskets, electronic scales and a tricycle. No matter how frugal he was, the money in his pocket was gone, not even a red ticket. Li Wei now Just wait to harvest the vegetables and start selling them.

Entering the Taoyuan space, Li Wei took out a few large bamboo baskets half a person's height, and saw that the tomatoes, beans, peppers, and cucumbers were covered with red and green fruits, and Li Wei smiled happily. Great harvest, although it is only now beginning to mature, but Li Wei is going to test the waters at the night market tonight.

"Pick a basket of peppers first, and the peppers will be more mature." Each pepper seedling is more than one meter high, and it is covered with dense peppers.Li Wei took the scissors and cut off the mature peppers, and put them in bamboo baskets. Each of these mature peppers was more than 20 centimeters long. On the edge of the black soil, and then change to a large bamboo basket to continue picking peppers.

I picked peppers in four large bamboo baskets, and then looked at the tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. These three vegetables are also growing very well. The tomato seedlings are full of tomatoes, one next to each other, and there is one person for the bean seedlings and cucumber seedlings. It is so high, wrapped around the shelf made of bamboo slabs, beans and cucumbers are hanging in the air, waiting for Li Wei to pick them, these three kinds of vegetables are gradually ripening, each picked two big baskets, already busy until noon . "At noon, make a few dishes and try."

After leaving Taoyuan Space, Li Wei started to cook, and the lunch dish was the four kinds of vegetables he grew.Make a chili fried meat, tomato scrambled eggs, bean stew, and a cucumber.

"Not bad, it has no skin, and it has a little spicy taste, unlike the chili water sold outside, which is not spicy at all." Li Wei first picked up a piece of chili and put it in his mouth. It tasted good.Then I took another bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It was sweet and sour. A few days ago, Li Wei bought a few tomatoes from the night market and fried a tomato scrambled eggs. After eating, the tomatoes were all thrown away.

Li Wei ate all the four dishes he made, and felt that the taste was much better than the dishes sold in the market. It was a bit like the vegetables he grew at home when he was a child in the countryside, and Li Wei hadn't added any vegetables. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides, absolutely green and natural food, must be popular in night markets.

"The price will be sold according to the market price first, and the price will be raised slowly when there are regular customers in a few days." Li Wei made a plan in his heart, then entered the Taoyuan space and put the bamboo baskets containing vegetables into the tricycle. Ten baskets of vegetables were placed on two levels on the tricycle.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Li Wei began to fully armed, put on all the cotton-padded jackets, cotton trousers and cotton shoes, and covered them tightly. Now it is minus [-] to [-] degrees outside, especially in the evening, so Li Wei has to stay outside for two days. Three hours, afraid of freezing.When I came downstairs, I checked that there was no one around, so I took the tricycle out of the Taoyuan space, and put a thick quilt on the vegetables to prevent them from freezing.

It took three to four minutes to arrive at the night market by riding a tricycle. At this time, all the stalls in the night market had been sold out. Li Wei looked around and found a place where no one was selling vegetables. Set up a stall.

"Brother, is there no one here? Can I set up a stall here?" Li Wei asked a fruit seller next to him.

"No, don't worry, put it here. Some people don't want to come out in winter. By the way, brother, what do you sell?" The fruit seller was in his 40s, and he was wearing a military coat, which was more than Li Wei's.

"I'm selling some vegetables. It's not from my classmate's house in the suburbs. There are only four kinds of vegetables and nothing else. Come on, brother, smoke a cigarette." Li Wei took out a cigarette from his pocket while talking.This is a soft Zhonghua that Ma Lin gave Li Wei the day before yesterday. Li Wei himself has no money to buy such a good cigarette.

"Not bad, good cigarette." Li Wei handed him a cigarette and lit it for him, and then Li Wei said; "Brother, my name is Li Wei, what is your surname?"

"What's your surname? My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Jianping. You can call me Big Brother Liu. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me," Liu Jianping said boldly.

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Li Wei waited for these words, and quickly thanked him. He had never set up a stall before, so there must be many things he didn't understand. It would be much better to have Liu Jianping's words.Then, Liu Jianping told Li Wei some things to pay attention to in the night market. Liu Jianping's enthusiasm and boldness made Li Wei have a great impression of him.

In this way, the two chatted. After a while, someone came to buy fruit, and Liu Jianping went back to the stall to sell fruit.Li Wei lifted a large piece of the cotton cloth covered on the tricycle, and then took out a few tomatoes and put them on the side of the bamboo basket as a show.

At this time, an old lady in her 60s and [-]s saw Li Wei and came over and asked, "How much is a catty of your tomatoes?"

Seeing the business coming, Li Wei quickly stepped forward and introduced; "Tomatoes cost four yuan a catty. You can see that they are only picked when they are completely ripe. If you buy them home, you can eat them fried or mixed with sugar. No you try"

"Really, there are still fully ripe tomatoes for sale now? Aren't they picked when they are raw? Then they are cooked with something? Boy, don't fool me." The old lady looked disbelieving .

"If you don't believe me, you'll know how it tastes after you taste it. I washed this one and it's clean." Li Wei took a tomato from the bamboo basket and broke it open, only to see that the seeds inside the broken tomato were very plump .

"Not bad, sweet and sour, and very soft. It is indeed ripe. I haven't seen such a good tomato for a long time. Okay, give me two catties." The old lady said after taking a bite.

"Okay." Li Wei quickly took out the plastic bag, weighed two catties for the old lady, and then the old lady bought two cucumbers and some peppers from Li Wei.

When the old lady left, Li Wei put 20 yuan into his pocket with a smile. This was the first dish Li Wei sold.Li Wei’s cucumbers and peppers cost three yuan a catty, and beans are the most expensive. The beans Li Wei grows are oil beans, which cost 15 yuan a catty. Although this is expensive, few people buy it.
