Chapter 533: I Have Watermelon, Can I Exchange It?
"Aunt Ding, can I really pick these strawberries?" Ding Yue's neighbor's little boy stared at the red strawberry fruits on the wall with love. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info can he come out, he likes it very much, however, he politely confirms again.
"Yes, ripe fruit, you can pick whatever you want. Ding Yue pointed out to him what the ripe fruit looked like.
"Xiaoding, is this watermelon real?" Aunt Zhou also deliberately went home to get reading glasses, in order to see these plants clearly.
"It's true, I just planted it a while ago, and it's just ready to eat recently. Ding Yue hugged her daughter and replied with a smile.
"Now that technology is so advanced, watermelons can be grown indoors. Aunt Zhou's wife put her hands behind her back, walked around the watermelon in the living room, and sighed.
"Let's eat watermelon!" An Jiaxian smiled at Ding Yue, helped everyone cut the fragrant little watermelon, and distributed it to everyone.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
"I didn't expect to be able to eat watermelon with such a fruity flavor in winter. ”
"Wow, it's much better than watermelons in a greenhouse! How many watermelons can be harvested from such a watermelon vine?" Aunt Zhou's son was tall and thin, looking at the plants in the house, with a heartfelt expression.
"I can pick at least one a day, and sometimes if the yield is high, I can pick three at the same time!" Ding Yue has never broken these two fruits since he planted watermelon and strawberry, not only eating it himself, but also giving it to relatives and friends, which has been widely acclaimed. Chen Taohan, in particular, often carries a grapefruit-sized watermelon to work, and at noon, he shares it with his colleagues.
"How can you grow this?" asked Aunt Zhou's son in surprise.
"Ding Yue's husband is helping my family plant it! My family bought blueberries, melons, and green leafy vegetables, do you want to go and see them?" An Jiaxian answered.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go take a look. After Aunt Zhou's son finished eating the watermelon, put it in the trash, and couldn't wait to run to find Chen Taohan and them.
"I'll ask Xiao Zheng next door and ask him to come and try it too. Ding Yue said.
There is no doubt that even if it is a dead house, when you see the watermelon on the wall of Ding Yue's house, you can't help but be attracted to it.
Zheng Mingchao was in front of the computer, his fingers were flying, writing a plot of the protagonist slapping the enemy in the face, the doorbell rang, and the train of thought was interrupted, which made him impatient.
However, the irritability, along with the delicious little watermelon sent by the neighbor, disappeared.
Well, this watermelon is really juicy and sweet, eat a slice, and feel that comfortable fruity aroma between your teeth, even if you are in a bad mood, it seems to be better.
When he saw the watermelon vines climbing on the wall of his neighbor's house, and he returned to his hometown in a trance, a burst of electricity rushed through his brain, and a special inspiration seemed to be opened in his heart.
Zheng Mingchao, who is rarely good at communicating with people, asked very seriously about the planting methods of these indoor plants.
This online novelist, who coded words all day long, didn't even wait for Ding Yue and An Jiaxian to put forward the "Comprehensive Planting Plan for this Floor", and talked about the planting method that everyone can plant different plants separately and be mutually beneficial.
After Zheng Mingchao proposed this method, it was warmly affirmed by Aunt Zhou's family.
The four neighbors gathered around and began to study the plant varieties on the Xeno's website, striving for a more reasonable layout of the fruit and vegetable varieties on the floor.
"Every family grows a leafy green plant with its own characteristics. ”
"Set up a WeChat group, and we all joined it, with our four households as a unit, to have free exchange trade. ”
"Yo, there is also kiwifruit, my Xiaofei likes kiwifruit the most, but planting kiwifruit occupies too much wall area, but my old house in the suburbs has a lot of space and can be planted." ”
"Sister Ding's family has strawberries and watermelons, Sister An's family has blueberries and melons, and Aunt Zhou is going to plant cucumbers and red crystal grapes. ”
"I'll choose the golden honey pumpkin!"
"My family's prolific water loofah is already growing. ”
"My bitter gourd has been harvested. ”
"Then I'll choose the gourd. ”
They discussed eagerly for more than an hour and finally decided on the plant varieties to plant with each other.
These four neighbors, who were not very familiar with each other, suddenly became closer because of the relationship between plants.
Two months later, the fruits and vegetables of the other three households grew into shape, and the melons and fruits were truly fragrant on the floors of ordinary buildings in the city.
In a WeChat group called "Xinhuayuan 17th Floor Farm", such a conversation takes place every day.
"Two watermelons, four bitter gourds, two catties of weeping water spinach, and twenty strawberries. "--Ding Shan Yueyue
"Sister Ding, my gourd has just grown, so tender that I can pinch out the water, and I will exchange a bitter gourd with you. Two catties of honey dates, and you exchange a watermelon. -- Author of Internet Street Fighting
"Okay!" - Ding Shan Yueyue
"Yueyue, keep the water spinach for me, I haven't eaten your water spinach for two days, Xiaofei is cute and eats it, by the way, I just brought five catties of kiwifruit from the old house in the suburbs, you all come to my house tonight to get a catty!" - Mrs. Zhou danced in the square
"Wow, I miss the kiwi! Aunt Zhou is mighty!" - An An
"Aunt Zhou's Mighty +1" - the author of the Internet Street
"Aunt Zhou's mighty +2" - the head of the Chen family
"Grandma is mighty +3, and Aunt Ding, can I exchange crystal grapes for a watermelon with you?" - Peter Pan
"No problem!Aunt Zhou's mighty +4" - Ding Shan Yueyue
The relationship between neighbors has skyrocketed, bringing more than just three meals a day to these families.
There is an old saying in China, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
Four months later, Zheng Mingchao, a single dog online writer, met a gentle and lovely girlfriend under the enthusiastic guidance of his neighbor Aunt Zhou, ending his 28-year single career.
Half a year later, Aunt Zhou's wife suddenly fell ill, and only Aunt Zhou was at home in a panic, but fortunately, Zheng Mingchao, who was next door to the codeword, heard the movement and quickly drove Aunt Zhou's wife to the hospital, so that he could get timely treatment.
Two years later, Ding Yue's chick went to kindergarten, because the two of them went to work at the same time, it was inconvenient to pick up and drop-off, so Aunt Zhou took the initiative to help them pick up and drop off the children.
The interaction and communication between neighbors, because of planting and exchange, becomes natural and harmonious.
And their planting model, along with Aunt Zhou's square dance, is widely known by her square dance friends, and then used as a reference by many residents in the community.
In the quiet residential community of the city, the neighboring residents spontaneously form a simple "small urban farm" to exchange the surplus fruits and vegetables grown by their families.
At the beginning, it was only between the residents on the same floor, but as the variety of family plant packages sold on the website of Heterodu became more and more abundant, the model of "urban small farm" gradually expanded to the upper and lower floors, and even among the residents of the whole building in some old communities, there was a particularly perfect plant planting plan, which completely became a "residential building farm".
As this model gradually expanded, city dwellers began to reduce the frequency of going out to buy fruits and vegetables.
Over time, the turnover of the surrounding supermarkets and farmers' markets began to decline.
Fortunately, this negative impact on the fruit and vegetable market took shape over a long period of time.
At that time, a large number of special non-family planted secret plants entered the market and the eyes of professional growers, providing a new world for market operators and former fruit and vegetable growers.
