Chapter 13 Business Commencement
"The tomatoes in the landlord's house are very beautiful, and they will ripen soon. I also ordered two plants from Lao Wang, hoping to grow as well as the landlord's tomatoes. Lao Wang is the nickname of the forum rookie friends for the "Urban Seed King".
"It makes sense, but can red jade tomatoes really harvest more than 30 catties? A tomato harvest 30 catties sounds so satisfied. Although tomatoes are not expensive, the thought that these tomatoes are grown and picked by myself makes me feel very relieved and satisfied. ”
……
There are many vegetable friends who left messages under Ding Yue's post, some support, and some questioning. Ding Yue saw the message questioning the tomato yield and immediately made a decision.
She edited the thread. A sentence was added.
"Can a tomato plant bear fruit for three months, as the seed king said, and harvest 1-2 tomatoes every day?
I haven't started harvesting yet and can't come up with a positive answer. Seeing is believing, and I decided to weigh the tomatoes I harvest every day and record them in this post. This record will continue until the last fruit of this tomato plant. ”
The landlord planted a month earlier than us, hoping to give us a better planting experience. ”
"It's a good idea. Actually, I don't want to say that it lasts for three months, but if I can keep it for a month, I'm very satisfied. ”
"Sister Yueyue is very patient, ~~~~(amp; amp; amp; gt;_amp; amp; amp; lt;) ~~~~, the first tomato I planted has been eaten by me! Don't talk about it, everyone will know when they plant it. "--Non-otaku
……
It is about people who are enthusiastic about planting, and most of them do not have an extreme personality. Soon, the forum's doubts about the price of tomato seedlings set by the Urban Seed King subsided under the guidance of Ding Shan Yueyue's post.
"Thank you!" - the Urban Seed King
Ding Yue's Taobao online store received a message from the Urban Seed King.
"You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth and reflecting the real facts to others. "--Ding Shan Yueyue
"Next time there is a new variety of planting seedlings, I'll send you one. - The Urban Seed King
Seeing the news of the City Seed King, Ding Shan Yueyue was very happy.

Lin Zeng didn't expect that on the first day of selling tomato seedlings, business would be unexpectedly booming.
Looking at the orders placed by netizens one after another, Lin Zeng had a headache and thought that the number of orders was too large, and it was estimated that the little brother of the express delivery order would not help him write it.
Unfortunately, his previous online store business has never been good, and basically handwriting can meet the requirements.
It seems that it is still necessary to buy a printer.
The next day, Lin Zeng finally handled all the orders of netizens, and sent a total of more than 90 express delivery items before dinner.
Lin Zeng thought that the receiving brother was stunned and had to turn around to get the delivery of small goods, and he couldn't help laughing.
After sending out all the tomato seedlings ordered by netizens, Lin Zeng rode an electric car, ran to a computer accessories mall, and bought an ordinary printer and a box of ink.
In this way, he can print the express bill directly, instead of spending all his time on sending the express as he did today.
Back at home, there are dozens of orders that have been paid on the information of the online store, and there are a lot of messages from netizens.
Lin Zeng didn't even bother to eat, and continued to work while snoring and eating the spicy tang bought on the roadside.
The business is booming, and he is even more ambitious.
I lost my job at the supermarket, and now I can start my own business, which is a great opportunity to cherish it. Lin Zeng has never been a person who is afraid of hardship.
At the roadside stall at night, he also stopped and put most of his energy on the tomato seedlings.
After processing today's order, Lin Zeng stretched his waist. He casually plucked a red tomato from the wall, rinsed it casually, and nibbled it directly.
The first two tomato seedlings watered with fertiliser microvino have reached the end of their lives, and the number of daily fruits is gradually decreasing, and now there are only three or five ripe fruits hanging from the vine branches, and the new buds and fruits are no longer growing.
Lin Zeng looked at the two vine red jade tomatoes with some reluctance.
These were the first tomato seeds he cultivated with the breeding space. The mind and energy consumed the most are also the most, and they have accompanied him for a month and spent the most lonely and difficult time. They are also the hopes he pinned on after facing unemployment and broken love......
It's a pity that time is merciless, and tomatoes are not long-lived plants. After the last fruit hits the ground, they will wither and decay, turning them into nutrients in nature.
Lin Zeng pursed his lips, picked up scissors, and cut the last fruits on the two tomato seedlings.
The best destination for tomatoes produced from the breeding space is to return to the breeding space.
The tomato vines entrenched on the wall were cut by Lin Zeng and recycled into the breeding space. After all the tomato vines were processed, Lin Zeng carefully looked at the wall that had been climbed by the tomato vines.
The walls are whiter than those that are not covered with tomato vines. It seems that the tomato climbing vine will not have much impact on the building itself.
After processing the vine leaves, Lin Zeng pulled out the rhizomes of the tomatoes that remained in the pots.
After shaking the soil, Lin Zeng accidentally found that a red round bead had grown from the root of the tomato.
Lin Zeng gently pinched the beads with his fingers and found that the beads were hard. The beads are only the size of soybeans and grow at the roots of plants, what the hell is this?
Soon, Lin Zeng's question was answered.
The message, which had not been given a hint for a long time, appeared in his head.
"Collected the vine ruby tomato crystal body, please use it to upgrade the vine ruby tomato storage box. The number of crystal sources is insufficient, please collect, please collect. ”
Lin Zeng plucked the red beads from the roots of the tomato and cleaned them.
The washed crimson beads look beautiful, the color is bright and eye-catching, and the surface is moist, like a small piece of red jade.
Lin Zeng changed his beliefs and entered the breeding space.
The space is quiet, and the ground is littered with severed tomato branches and leaves. Lin Zeng walked directly to the jade box where the vine red jade tomato was placed and took it down.
"Please put the crystal source body in the vine red jade tomato storage box. ”
He followed the prompts and put the red orb in his palm into the jade box.
As soon as the red bead entered the jade box, it turned into a red light and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Zeng carefully observed the jade box, and finally found some differences in the pattern of the vine red jade tomato on the surface of the jade box. Originally, the surface of the jade box was flat, but after the red beads were put into the jade box, there was a small protruding round bag on the vine branch of the red jade tomato.
"The number of source bodies is insufficient, please continue to collect source bodies. ”
What happens if there are enough crystals?
Upgrading the breeding space?
What is the law of crystal source generation?
Is it true that every plant that grows from a seed nurtured by the breeding space has the existence of this crystal source?
So, those vegetable friends who have planted vine red jade tomatoes, can the crystal source in their hands be recovered in any way?
Lin Zeng fell into thought.
He left the breeding space.
There were also a few vine red jade tomatoes in his room, one of which was the first to be planted, and like the one he had just cut, all of them no longer bearing fruit.
Lin Zeng pulled out the roots of the tomato seedlings, searched for them, and sure enough, at the root of this tomato, he found a red bead of the same size.
So, are there any of the same red beads in the roots of the remaining vine tomatoes that are growing normally and are just beginning to bear fruit?
Lin Zeng didn't stop doing it, carefully digging out the remaining naturally growing tomatoes.
These tomatoes have just begun to bear fruit, and Lin Zeng is not willing to lead the plants to die because of his own digging.
The first strain, no.
The second strain, too, is not.
In the third plant, Lin Zeng finally found a clue.
On a shaken, relatively clean tomato root, Lin found a small red dot the size of a sesame seed, which would have been easily ignored if he hadn't looked closely.
Lin Zeng turned back and carefully inspected the tomato roots of the other two plants.
Sure enough, on the root of each tomato, there is a crystal the size of a sesame seed.
Lin Zeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He carefully replanted the three tomatoes back into pots and sprinkled them with some water soaked in fertilisers.
If he was not mistaken, the crystal body grew as the plant grew.
Perhaps, he should think of a way to recover the crystal source body in the hands of netizens.
