C33 – He Wished to Eat Watermelons Freely!!
Xia Guo prided herself on her lofty religious pursuits, content material with simply sufficient materials possessions to maintain her primary wants. But, the second watermelon juice trickled down her throat, her values started to crumble. She even doubted whether or not something she’d eaten earlier than was actual. How may one thing so scrumptious exist on this world?
Zhao Yuegu, however, was brimming with confidence. “My black pores and skin watermelon isn’t only a distinctive selection; it boasts a number of distinct options,” he defined. “First, the soil high quality is phenomenal. The land surrounding the fields is pristine and untouched by air pollution, by no means tainted by fertilizers or pesticides.”
“Second, we hold the planting density low. Many farmers resort to chemical substances to spice up yields, however this in the end depletes the soil’s fertility. Abroad farms are much more excessive, with heavy pesticide use that leaves the land barren, unable to help even the best of weeds. The produce that comes from such soil will be fairly alarming.”
Xia Guo and Solar’s father nodded in settlement; they had been effectively conscious of those points. Overseas, agriculture had turn out to be a large-scale operation. Farm homeowners sat on hundreds of acres, using a cocktail of chemical substances and genetically modified crops to push yields to staggering heights. Every proprietor was an emblem of affluence.
This industrial strategy stripped home produce of any aggressive edge internationally. The meticulous care and excessive prices of conventional farming merely couldn’t compete. And Zhao Yuegu’s prices had been even increased.
However Zhao Yuegu wasn’t completed. “The irrigation for the watermelon fields comes from the village’s personal spring water,” he continued. “This spring produces water so candy, it’s one of many village’s main sources. If we bottled and offered it, even at three to 5 yuan every, it could fly off the cabinets.”
“I’ve heard that some imported bottled waters promote for hundreds of yuan, however I doubt they will match the style of our spring water. And while you evaluate that to my watermelons, effectively, you would possibly wish to rethink which is actually beneficial.”
“Lastly, my yield per acre is only a third of the usual quantity. So, inform me, is a watermelon priced at 5 thousand yuan actually that costly?”
Zhao Yuegu posed the query to Xia Guo and Solar’s father. “In no way,” they replied. “It’s not simply cheap, it’s virtually a steal.”
“Even when it offered for thirty to fifty thousand yuan, folks would nonetheless swarm to purchase it.”
“I’m even beginning to fear that a number of people would possibly resell these watermelons for a revenue.”
Solar’s father mentioned gravely.
Solar Ying shot her father a fierce glare.
Didn’t he notice why he was right here?
What if his phrases offended Xia Guo?
Xia Guo herself appeared visibly moved.
After really tasting it, she couldn’t deny that the watermelon was well worth the worth.
It was the type of taste you’d bear in mind for a lifetime.
“I’ll be visiting your farm tomorrow to take a look.”
“Completely, no downside in any respect.”
Zhao Yuegu didn’t hesitate to agree.
His conviction solely grew stronger.
Something from the system was sure to be top-notch!
However he feared that future costs may not be so reasonably priced.
Perhaps Xia Guo would come to analyze?
However he wasn’t nervous about scrutiny. With such restricted manufacturing, he couldn’t probably disrupt the market.
In actual fact…
He had even helped discover markets for a lot of unsold watermelons, in line with the web.
That was positively a great deed.
In the meantime, Solar’s father approached Zhao Yuegu.
Listening to the roosters crow and watching the smoke curl up from the chimneys, her eyes landed on Zhao Yuegu tidying the yard, and her pulse quickened.
“How fantastic it could be to dwell like this daily.”
Her gaze lingered on Zhao Yuegu.
His tall, lean body exuded a quiet power.
His cropped hair was tidy, accentuating his rugged, good-looking options.
“Many who’ve come into sudden wealth lose themselves in extravagance.”
“However not him.”
“As a substitute, he’s content material to proceed working the land.”
“Folks like which might be a uncommon breed on this world.”
She watched, head tilted, turning into mesmerized.
Zhao Yuegu was like a superb wine to her—every encounter extra flavorful, extra charming than the final.
It wasn’t till Ma Yabei emerged, stretching languidly, that even Xia Guo couldn’t assist however steal a look at her sinfully sculpted determine.
Ma Yabei’s gaze carried a transparent warning.
She was cautioning her to not set her sights on Zhao Yuegu.
Shortly after, she watched Ma Yabei be a part of Zhao Yuegu, lending a hand with the work, the 2 sharing jokes and laughter.
She couldn’t assist however really feel a pang of envy.
It was like they had been flaunting their happiness in entrance of her!
In that second, her long-dormant coronary heart started to stir ever so barely.
In the end, she approached Zhao Yuegu.
“When are we heading out to the fields?”
“We will go now.”
“Then let’s be on our method.”
Zhao Yuegu shook his head, bemused.
She was undoubtedly enticing, however why was she so pushed in her profession?
“Alright, let’s go.”
Zhao Yuegu hoisted the farming instruments onto his shoulder. The land they’d simply completed planting nonetheless required some tidying up.
He contemplated over what to plant subsequent, feeling considerably indecisive.
He had accrued fairly a wide range of seeds from the system to select from.
In the meantime, Ma Yabei all of the sudden looped her arm by Zhao Yuegu’s.
“I’ll include you.”
Xia Guo’s eyebrows shot up, and she or he intentionally turned away.
