In addition to his usual writing, Kang Mingsong paid attention to the situation of the vegetable garden every day, and of course he would take a walk around his home in the morning and evening, or he would talk nonsense with classmates, friends and even book friends on the Internet.

Of course, the only thing that is not very comfortable is that his parents will ask about Lu Xiaofang's situation every once in a while, and this is when Kang Mingsong has the most headache, and he has to think of some excuses to send his parents away.

As an old man who is eagerly looking forward to holding his grandson, the second elder's curiosity in this regard is very strong, and it is a daily routine that must be asked almost every day. That is, Lu Xiaofang rarely contacted them by phone before, otherwise Kang Mingsong would be even more annoyed, or even unable to hide it at all.

In such a fulfilling life mixed with some troubles, the days pass quickly.

In mid-May, Kang Mingsong cultivated seeds for the third time, and this time the third variety he chose was cucumbers, a gram of cucumber seeds were only about thirty, and after cultivation, the seedlings that germinated and survived were an integer: thirty.

Just as the cucumber seeds germinated, the tomatoes planted more than two months ago had already begun to bloom and bear fruit in large quantities.

During this period, Kang Mingsong discovered the appearance of tomato bollworm and whitefly, and he did not hold on to the idea of not using pesticides, but sprayed insecticides twice in time.

At this time, there is still a month before the tomato is ripe, and if you spray a little pesticide, there will be no residue by then.

Or when the super breeder is upgraded and more traits can be cultivated, you can consider cultivating tomato insect resistance, which can reduce or even avoid the use of pesticides.

………………

In mid-June, when the tomatoes were about to ripen, Cummingsong used a superbreeder to grow seeds for the fourth time.

This time, Kang Mingsong chose to cultivate tomato seeds again, which led to the idea of planting them out of season.

At this time, because of the high temperature, the germination period and the seedling period will be greatly shortened, and it can be transplanted in July, and it will bloom and bear fruit around mid-August, but a large number of maturity will have to wait until the National Day or so.

In late June, the first tomatoes to bear fruit begin to ripen.

The day Cummingsong found the first fully red tomato was the summer solstice.

After waiting for nearly four months, Kang Mingsong was a little eager to pick it and bring it home.

I filled a small vegetable bowl with some spring water from the well, washed the tomatoes, and then cut them into small pieces with a fruit knife.

The size of this tomato is not small, bigger than an adult's fist, and Kang Mingsong estimates that it weighs almost a catty.

Put the sliced tomatoes on a plate, and if it is a regular tomato, pour some white sugar on it before eating.

However, Cumminsong is just to taste it and prove whether the super breeder really works, so the step of pouring white sugar can be omitted.

Kang Mingsong didn't bother to take the chopsticks, anyway, just before cutting the tomatoes, he washed them in the vegetable pot, directly stretched out two fingers, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, Kang Mingsong's eyes widened.

Then, Kang Mingsong ran out to the courtyard with a plate of tomatoes in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other.

………………

In the yard, my parents are picking potatoes. The potatoes on the acres of land grown at home have just been dug up, and the parents are sorting them by size for easy storage.

"Mom, Dad, come and taste the tomatoes I planted. Kang Mingsong said as if offering a treasure.

For their son's fuss, the two were quite unimpressed. However, considering that this is the first product grown by his son, the two have some understanding.

Not to thank her son's kindness, Xiu Chengyan took the lead in holding a piece of tomato with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Unexpectedly, this tomato was as sweet as honey, and the rich aroma went straight to his brain, which made Xiu Chengyan stunned.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Seeing his wife standing stupidly, Kang Dazhi patted her and said, "Hurry up, today's task is not light!"

"Dad, you taste this!" After Xiu Chengyan came to his senses, he stuffed a piece of tomato into Kang Dazhi's mouth without saying anything.

Unexpectedly, the tomato was too sweet, Kang Dazhi was unprepared, and he choked all of a sudden, coughing in the yard and making jokes.

After such a small episode, the two found that the tomatoes that their son had worked hard for several months to grow were really very different from other tomatoes, not to mention the delicious taste, and the aroma of the tomatoes themselves was also extremely strong.

In this way, the first tomato picked by Kang Mingsong was a little not enough to eat, so you sandwiched one piece between the two, and added five to the two, and quickly ate the tomato.

When they found that there were no tomatoes left on the plate, they realized that their son didn't seem to have eaten a single piece, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

Kang Mingsong didn't care, his parents' performance proved that the tomatoes he grew were extraordinary. It also proves that the super breeder really works.

As a result, he became excited about the other two varieties of peppers and cucumbers he cultivated.

………………

Tomatoes are ripe very quickly, only one is ripe on the first day, but dozens of them are ripe on the second day, Kang Mingsong picked them all down, weighed them, and there were nearly thirty catties.

With so many tomatoes, my family of three must not be able to eat so much.

Mother Xiu Chengyan said that she wanted to give some to her relatives and neighbors, but she was dissuaded by Kang Mingsong. The eldest brother-in-law had already said that when the tomatoes were ripe, he would ask for some in his restaurant. So, I might as well send him some.

So, Kang Mingsong packed the tomatoes in a basket, and then took the minibus that drove to the city at noon in the township and entered the city.

The reason why I didn't choose to pack it in other well-sealed tools such as plastic bags is mainly because ripe tomatoes release ethylene, which in the case of airtightness, will promote further ripening of tomatoes. If it takes a little longer, the tomato will spoil quickly.

When he arrived at the restaurant of the eldest sister's house, the eldest brother-in-law Yun Li'an was very satisfied when he saw the appearance of these tomatoes, and after he tasted one, he did not hesitate to say that he wanted all the 20 catties of tomatoes brought by Kang Mingsong, and the price was also what he first told Kang Mingsong, which was 20% higher than the market price.

In the supermarket, the price of the freshest tomatoes was two yuan a catty, and Yun Li'an directly gave Kang Mingsong two yuan and a half yuan.
