She had already told Sifu how to sell them. First, she would wash the tomatoes clean, then soak the entire tomato in ice water to cool it. Finally, she would cut them into small pieces and sprinkle white sugar on them. She would sell them in small bowls.
Because it was soaked in ice water, it would be cold when eaten, and it was especially suitable for eating on hot days.
Apart from the two ladies, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also left some tomatoes for their family.
Before they brought it home, they even washed it by the river.
Once they got home, Jiang Yue found a clean wooden basin that she could use. Xue Yan immediately scooped some water and poured it into the basin, then added some ice.
Then, Jiang Yue soaked the tomatoes that she had washed.
The water would get colder and colder, and the tomato would get cooler along with it.
Jiang Yue returned to her room and entered her s.p.a.ce when she remembered she had more tomatoes waiting.
The tomato had been hanging on the small yellow land in her s.p.a.ce for a long time, and she hadn’t been able to pick it. The tomato still looked fresh, and it looked ready to be picked.
Nothing had changed in her s.p.a.ce. The yellow soil was still the same small piece; it was the size of her fist. The small pool of water was the same. It was only as big as the mouth of the small rice bowl she used to eat.
Jiang Yue didn’t care about this and directly picked the tomato.
The tomato plant immediately withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, then turned black, and finally disappeared. She didn’t even need to do anything to it.
She didn’t rush out of her s.p.a.ce. Instead, she went to the operating table in the high-tech room and chose a seeded watermelon seed.
Then, she planted the seed in the small piece of yellow land.
She could come and pick watermelons at this time tomorrow.
The field of watermelons at home was about to ripen, but it would probably take a few more days. She felt that the biggest watermelon in the field was not yet ripe, but she wanted to eat watermelons now, so she planted one in her s.p.a.ce first. Soon, it would bear big watermelons that could be picked and eaten.
When the time came, everyone would believe that she picked it from the watermelon field.
After all, the watermelon field was now under her and Xue Yan’s management, and no one had seen the watermelons carefully. If she said that one of the watermelons was ripe and she picked it back, as long as Xue Yan didn’t expose her, people would believe her.
Xue Yan would never ruin her plan.
The reason why she planted a watermelon with seeds was that she felt that it was better for the first watermelon she had picked to be different from the other watermelons in the outside world.
After picking a few seeded watermelons, it would not be so strange for seedless watermelons to appear again.
Liu Guixia’s statement rea.s.sured her plan. If she gave birth to all sons, why do they all not look the same? Not only had she brainwashed the rest of her family, but she had also brainwashed the villagers with this mindset.
In any case, the villagers were now more accepting of strange occurrences.
The villagers who knew a little about it were already open to it, and the people outside were not aware of it at all, so naturally, they were more accepting of it when they saw that everyone was okay about it.
Besides, it was Chunmei who had helped buy the watermelon seedlings in town. More than one person had seen it, so no one would have thought that she and Xue Yan had exchanged the seedlings somewhere.
After coming out of the s.p.a.ce, Jiang Yue washed her hands and the tomatoes she took out from the s.p.a.ce. Xue Yan was already used to the sight of the extra items appearing in her hands.
Even if the family saw it, they would think that it was one of the tomatoes she brought back. They didn’t really come to see how many tomatoes she and Xue Yan brought back.
After she washed the tomato, she soaked it in ice water.
