20. Chapter XX

In the evening, Zeng Tong entered the space and harvested vegetables and fruits as usual.

Vegetables are mainly water spinach, amaranth and sweet potato leaves, cucumbers and bitter gourds can also receive dozens of sticks every day, although the amount of peas is small, these 10 trees can still harvest 5 or 6 kg a day.

The second batch of melon seedlings that were set up yesterday have also grown very tall along the scaffold, and some have flowered, and it is estimated that this batch of new melons will be harvested in the next 2 days. This time, there are a lot more varieties than before, and there will be several more varieties in the store.

Then Zeng Tong harvested a small amount of seasoning and kept it for sale in the store tomorrow, so he stopped paying attention to the vegetable field, went to the watermelon field, and picked watermelons.

There are a lot of ripe watermelons in the melon field, this time I picked nearly 20 watermelons, and the cantaloupe next to it was also ripe, Zeng Tong turned it over, and then picked 9 ripe cantaloupe.

After picking and moving these back to the hut, Zeng Tong sat on a chair and began to eat watermelon again.

At home, Zeng Tong will not grab watermelons to eat with his parents, because in the space, Zeng Tong can eat as many watermelons as he wants. Zeng Tong's speed of eating alone is far from keeping up with the speed of watermelon ripening, and Zeng Tong eats as much as he likes in the space, and no one will say anything.

The next day, Zeng Tong picked some vegetables and fruits in the space as usual, and then arrived at the farmers' market at 7:30.

Before I could get close to my store, I saw a few people wandering nearby. Zeng Tong thought it was a customer from other stalls, so he didn't care, so he opened the door and went in and closed it, taking out the vegetables and watermelons that were going to be sold that day.

There are a little more watermelons today than yesterday, there are 32 in total, but Zeng Tong doesn't plan to try watermelons again. Such delicious melons, people who bought them yesterday should come back to buy them again, these melons will definitely be sold out today, so I won't open one more melon, and then put 5 cantaloupes I found in the morning.

According to the usual time when Xiaojuan came to work, Zeng Tong suddenly heard the voices of several people talking at the door.

"Little sister, do you have any watermelons today?"

"I've been here for a long time waiting for you to open the store. ”

"Today's other dishes are easy to say, I must buy watermelon. ”

"I want watermelon and vegetables, you see I brought 2 trailers at home. ”

Then Xiaojuan's voice sounded.

"Everyone, everyone, rest assured, there are watermelons, yesterday I asked the boss to buy more watermelons, today should be more than yesterday, wait for everyone to come one by one, don't worry." ”

Hearing this, Zeng Tong opened the door inside and saw several people standing outside, one of whom was talking to Xiaojuan.

"Sister Tong. Xiaojuan saw Zeng Tong say hello.

"Well, here we go. Zeng Tong responded.

At this time, a few guests outside saw that the little girl who usually sells vegetables here entered the store, and then moved things to open the store with the girl who had just suddenly come out of it, and they all consciously walked aside. Suddenly, someone realizes that this young girl may be the boss.

"Little sister, this is the boss of good food, right?" asked an aunt.

After Xiaojuan heard this, she replied with a smile: "Yes, she is the boss of our good food, Sister Tong." ”

Zeng Tong turned his head and smiled at a few people outside, didn't say anything, and continued to move things with Xiaojuan to set up the booth.

"Boss, do you have any watermelons today?" asked another eldest sister anxiously.

"I have watermelons, and I still have some cantaloupe today, so I can buy some of them and try them at home. Zeng Tong recommended his own cantaloupe by the way.

"Cantaloupe, too? Where is it? I'll take a look. ”

"In the back, wait a minute, let's go move out. After speaking, Zeng Tong beckoned Xiaojuan to go to the small room inside to carry the vegetable frame for the melon.

Usually, a vegetable box full of vegetables does not weigh much, Xiaojuan or Zeng Tong can move it alone, but now a box can hold at least 4 or 5 large watermelons, and a cantaloupe can hold more than 6 in a box, so it is a bit difficult to move it by one person.

2 people carried the frame to the edge of the booth, and put the melon with the frame on the table for everyone to choose.

At this time, as soon as several guests saw the watermelon, they all stepped forward, and one of them reached out and picked one and began to weigh it.

"This melon is good, well, and the sound is loud too. ”

"That's good, I want this. ”

At once, 2 guests picked out the watermelon and asked for the settlement, Xiaojuan hurriedly put down the box in her hand and went to pick up the watermelon handed over by the guest.

Soon, the guests bought watermelons, picked out some vegetables, and left after settling the bill together.

Seeing a few people talking while walking, carrying bags and trailers, Zeng Tong thought, watermelons in this space are quite popular.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers at this meeting, Zeng Tong and Xiaojuan hurriedly placed the vegetables and fruits in the store, briefly explained the price of cantaloupe, and Zeng Tong left first.

When he was about to get home, Zeng Tong walked in the hidden place around the corner and took the opportunity to take out the vegetables and melons and fruits that he brought to the family today. Today there is one more cantaloupe than the day before. When he went out in the morning of the past 2 days, Zeng Tong had to bring the small trailer at home, just 2 melons, it was a heavy burden to bring them back, not to mention other vegetables, if you want not to arouse suspicion, the small trailer is an indispensable tool.

Yesterday, seeing that his parents love to eat watermelon so much, Zeng Tong decided to bring another one to the family today, although his mother will definitely say that there is no need to bother to bring hard work every day, but seeing that they eat well, Zeng Tong himself has space, and he will not be tired if he only needs to carry a short distance, of course, it is more important to bring them his favorite watermelon every day.

When I got home, sure enough, Zeng's mother happily took over the small trailer, and scolded Zeng Tong with a smile for how tired she was to carry such a heavy melon again.

Listening to his mother's words, Zeng Tong pretended to be coquettish for a while, diverting Zeng's mother's attention.

After eating at noon, Zeng Tong entered the space to water the vegetable patch, pick watermelons and feed the fish, and then did not stay in the space, and now the main working time for picking is at night.

When I went to the store to settle the bill in the afternoon, Zeng Tong told Xiaojuan about going back to her hometown on the weekend.

"Sister Tong, what about the vegetables sold in the store at that time?

"These are experimental varieties, and they haven't started to be popularized yet, and there are not many of them. The purchase of goods belongs to a special channel, and only I can mention the goods at present. Zeng Tong told Xiaojuan what he had thought of.

"Huh, what should I do then?" Xiao Juan was a little anxious.

"I've already said hello over there, and I'll ship it in advance before I go back to my hometown. I'll prepare a notice board later, you start hanging it at the door tomorrow, let me know in advance, we will be closed for 2 days. Zeng Tong looked at Xiaojuan and said.

"Ah, it's closed for 2 days......" Xiaojuan said a little sadly after listening.

"I'll come over on Saturday morning to get the food ready, and when you're done selling it, close the door and get off work." Sunday and Monday give you a day off and rest, no deduction of salary, and come back to work on Tuesday. Zeng Tong said her decision.

"Okay, Sister Tong. Xiaojuan replied that Zeng Tong was the owner of the shop, and the boss decided to close the business for 2 days, and she did so.

Zeng Tong made a square whiteboard in the place where the billboard was made before, and asked people to punch holes in it and wear iron wires, and returned to the store to hand it to Xiaojuan, so that she could hang it on the side of the door tomorrow morning.

It is written in bold black font "The proprietor is happy, the store will be closed for 2 days from the 24th to the 25th, and will resume normal business on the 26th, so we hereby notify you in advance", and the payment is "Eat good vegetable and fruit shop".

After liquidating the turnover of the day, because the amount of watermelon increased, it was about 1,000 yuan more than the previous day. It's a pity that there are not many people who buy cantaloupe, and the 5 that I took out today were the last to be sold.

"It seems that watermelon is also a good money-making project. Zeng Tong sighed in his heart.

Then let Xiaojuan get off work first, and Zeng Tong himself locked the door and left.

It was only 6 o'clock when I got home, and after a while, my great-father came back with a box of fruit in his hand.

"Girl, come and pick it up, your favorite peach. Zeng's father said to Zeng Tong while changing his shoes in the hallway.

"Peaches, Daddy, how did you think of buying this! Zeng Tong happily ran over to pick it up.

"I bought it, it was given by your Uncle Tan. When I got off work today, I specially found one that was quietly stuffed for me, and before I could refuse him, he ran away. This old Tan. Great-father shook his head with a smile as he walked towards the living room.

"Uncle Tan, why did he suddenly send peaches to us?" Zeng Tong asked curiously.

"Two days ago, he said that he wanted to thank us for introducing him to the place where vegetables were sold, and his daughter had been eating normally recently, and I heard that the amount of food was not small. ”

"Oh, it's just food. The last time I went to that store, I also saw his wife go grocery shopping, and we talked for a while. When Zeng's mother heard this, she remembered that she had seen Lao Tan's wife before.

"That's it, in the past 2 days, Lao Tan's daughter has been willing to eat normally, but Lao Tan is happy. Great-father talked about this long-time old friend's watch for the past 2 days, and said with a smile.

Zeng Tong was also very happy when he heard it, it turned out that the space dish had a great impact on others.

After dinner that day, Zeng Tong ate watermelon with his family and went back to his room to think.

Since I told Xiaojuan today that I have decided to close for 2 days, I have to prepare vegetables from Thursday to Saturday tomorrow, and hang up the notice board tomorrow, and the demand for the next 2 days should be more than before, it seems that these 2 days will be a little harder.

Thinking of this, Zeng Tong planned to plant another batch of leafy vegetables with a relatively short growth cycle tonight, and then began to look up what kinds of vegetables were available on the Internet. With the help of today's developed network, Zeng Tong quickly found some fast-growing leafy vegetable varieties, and then found the corresponding seeds in the space thatched hut.

Spinach, fungus and several varieties similar to small greens, such as cabbage and cabbage, can be harvested in ten or twenty days.

Compared with ordinary leafy vegetables, the leaves of fungus vegetables are thicker, and G is mostly used to make soups, and the incision will secrete a transparent mucus, so it tastes smooth.

With the seeds and tools in hand, Zeng Tong came to the edge of the field, and there was an empty place after the amaranth was harvested, so he planted it in this place. Zeng Tong really doesn't want to open the land anymore, and now the 1,000 square meters are about to exhaust her, and it doesn't make much sense to take care of the land again.

Still using the previous use of fixed-point sowing, fungus and water spinach, after harvesting once can grow new shoots and young leaves every few days, do not need to plant too much, sow a seed at an interval of 20 cm. Spinach and cabbage need to be removed as a whole when harvested, and in order to ensure continuous supply in the future, the place needed should be relatively large.

A vacant place in the leafy vegetable field was quickly sown, and after watering, Zeng Tong came to the melon field to continue picking melons.

Since yesterday the watermelons began to grow, one after another, more and more ripe watermelons, although Zeng Tong will collect some and move them to the thatched hut for storage these few times he enters the space, but just after looking at it, he found a few ripe watermelons in the ground.

Although there are fewer cantaloupes than watermelons, the situation is similar, and there will be more and more ripe melons.

Although it is nothing if the watermelon is ripe and left in the ground, and the crops in the space will not grow again when they are ripe, Zeng Tong has formed a habit after harvesting these days, and wants to put it away when he sees it ripe, and then let the crops in the field continue to bloom and bear fruit.

Zeng Tong received all the ripe melons into the hut, looking at the dozens of melons that had just been harvested on the ground, a little happy and a little annoyed.

If we continue like this, if we increase the amount of watermelon and cantaloupe tomorrow, the main item in the store will become fruit!
