Although Li Wanqing was indeed not angry, the accident still made her feel very embarrassed, and she deliberately avoided Xiao Ping for the next period of time, and it took more than ten days before she gradually dared to face Xiao Ping again. Liu Jianguo and his wife also returned from the provincial capital, and their nephew was no longer in serious trouble and went back to his home to recuperate. Xiao Ping's life is back on track.

A few days later, Xiao Ping's small vegetable garden ushered in a third harvest. Because the supply of spiritual liquid has increased, Xiao Ping can use the entire yard, so he also planted some spinach and lettuce in addition to green vegetables.

Xiao Ping loaded all the harvested vegetables onto the tricycle, and the weight of more than 1,000 catties in total made the car "creak", as if it would fall apart at any time. However, Xiao Ping was not too worried about this, he easily rode such a large cart of vegetables to the Garden Hotel, and he didn't even sweat much. Xiao Ping's good physical fitness also made Sun Lin envious, saying that he was also energetic when he was young, and he didn't feel tired even stir-frying dozens of dishes, but now that he is older, he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

Xiao Ping knew very well how his good health came about, so he didn't communicate with Sun Lin much on this topic, and quickly sold him the two newly planted vegetables. The vegetables watered with the spiritual liquid all have the same advantages, in addition to the good appearance, the taste is also very good, Sun Lin immediately decided after tasting each dish to cost two hundred catties.

Just the Garden Hotel alone bought 600 catties of vegetables, and the rest of the vegetables were soon bought by several hotels that heard the news, and more than half a ton of vegetables were sold in less than a morning, which also brought Xiao Ping more than 50,000 yuan in income.

Xiao Ping's dishes are unique in appearance and taste, which also made him famous in less than three months, and he has a great reputation in the small circle of high-end restaurants. The news of Xiao Ping's presence at the Garden Hotel spread quickly, and it didn't take long for many strangers to come to the door.

These people all wanted to buy a little legendary special vegetables from Xiao Ping, and surrounded him in the middle and shouted:

"Mr. Xiao, I am a buyer at Hyatt Regency Hotel, and I hope you can sell us some vegetables."

"I'm the head chef of Shunfeng Restaurant, and I want to buy 300 catties of vegetables!"

"Mr. Xiao, can you sell some to our Chaoshan Restaurant?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry guys!" Xiao Ping was also a little unable to resist the enthusiasm of these people, and hurriedly raised his hand and said loudly: "All the dishes are sold out today, I'm really embarrassed, please be early next time." ”

When they heard that the food had been sold out, they were all disappointed. However, they would not let go of the opportunity to know Xiao Ping, and they stuffed their business cards into his hands, telling Xiao Ping to notify him in advance next time they had the goods. A few people also offered Xiao Ping's dishes a high price of nearly 100 yuan a catty, and they still had as much as they wanted.

These people are all potential customers, and Xiao Ping naturally doesn't want to offend. One by one, I accepted the business cards and exchanged a few words, and finally sent them away.

Sun Lin had been watching from the side, and only then did he come over and pat Xiao Ping's shoulder and say, "Brother, since the business is so good, you should hurry up and expand the scale." ”

Xiao Ping nodded approvingly: "Yes, I've been thinking about this recently, but it's hard to find a big enough place." ”

Sun Lin gave Xiao Ping an idea: "If the place is really tight, you should grow some expensive vegetables, so that you can earn more." ”

Xiao Ping humbly asked, "Chef Sun, what kind of dish are you talking about?" ”

"If you want to talk about the growth in the ground, of course it's truffles." Sun Lin said: "This thing is the same as mushrooms, but they are both used in Western restaurants." A slightly better black truffle is worth 501 kilograms, and an ordinary white truffle can be sold for 2,001 kilograms, and it's all dollars! ”

"It's so expensive, it's not bad." Sun Lin's words made Xiao Ping very interested in truffles. …,

Looking at Xiao Ping's gearing up, Sun Lin couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be too happy, truffles can't be artificially cultivated, and it doesn't matter if they are sold expensive." ”

"That's a shame." Xiao Ping had a very regretful expression on the surface, but he secretly had the idea of truffles in his heart, other people can't cultivate truffles doesn't mean that Xiao Ping can't either, with a treasure like the demon refining pot, what can't you plant? No matter how high the environmental requirements of truffles are, there is no problem in planting them in the demon refining pot, right?

However, the space of the demon refining pot is too small, and the area of a dozen square meters is very crowded with only ginseng, and there is no place to cultivate truffles. So after saying goodbye to Sun Lin, Xiao Ping went to the antique market again and bought back a large bag of jade, and the wallet that was a little bulging just now was deflated again.

The demon refining pot devoured the jade like a bottomless pit, and the jade material worth more than 40,000 yuan turned into half a trash can stone powder in half an hour. Although the demon refining pot can help Xiao Ping make money, the speed of spending money seems to be faster, which really makes him a little helpless.

However, this money was not spent in vain, after absorbing so much jade material, the area of the space of the demon refining pot almost doubled. Now the space inside the pot is half the size of the pot, and the place where the truffles are cultivated is settled.

Xiao Ping looked up some information about truffles on the Internet. It was found that this is actually a fungus, which is epiphytic to the roots of broad-leaved trees such as oak trees, and is buried in the ground. Sun Lin is right, truffles really can't be cultivated artificially. However, Xiao Ping was full of confidence, believing that he would definitely be able to cultivate the best quality truffles in the demon refining pot.

The next day, Xiao Ping went to the nursery to buy an oak sapling, and carefully planted the sapling in a corner of the demon refining pot. It was the height of summer, and the oak saplings were already wilting a little by the time they were planted. However, when Xiao Ping slowly poured the spring water in the space of the demon refining pot on the root of the oak tree, the tree immediately stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon regained its vitality.

Xiao Ping was very satisfied with this situation, and he believed that it would not be long before the oak sapling, which was only more than half a person tall, would grow into a towering tree, and then he would be able to start cultivating truffles.

However, cultivating truffles is only part of Xiao Ping's plan, and if he wants to make money as soon as possible and live a good life, it is imperative to expand the scale of vegetable cultivation. But if you want to expand the scale, you need to lease land, and you need money to lease land, so Xiao Ping found that the biggest problem he faced was still lack of money.

The problem of money deeply troubled Xiao Ping, but fortunately, the ginseng he planted before had grown very well, and he should be able to raise some money by selling these ginseng.

Xiao Ping first chose a ginseng tree that grew tallest and had many red seeds at the top, and carefully dug up the soil around the roots. The quality of ginseng is also an important factor in the price, and the more intact the roots, the more money it can sell. Therefore, Xiao Ping is also very careful, and he digs ginseng completely with his bare hands. However, when he dug up the ginseng completely, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed - the ginseng grew too small.

Xiao Ping originally thought that planting ginseng in the demon refining pot would definitely grow very well, even if it was not as thick as a big white radish, at least it should grow to the size of a carrot. However, the ginseng in Xiao Ping's hand was pitifully small, and the taproot was only the length of his index finger, which was not much thicker than chopsticks. However, the lateral roots and roots have grown very long, which have exceeded the taproot by several times, making this ginseng look thinner, and it is not as good as the ordinary ginseng sold in pharmacies.

"This is obviously stunting, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for a good price!" Xiao Ping was very dissatisfied with this "thin" ginseng, and decided to dig out two more sticks to see.

So Xiao Ping chose two more ginseng trees with the best growth and dug them up, but in the end, he was disappointed to find that the three ginseng trees dug up were all thin and long, and the thickest one was only about the same as the little thumb. This made Xiao Ping start to suspect that maybe he dug too early, and the ginseng hadn't grown yet.

So Xiao Ping didn't dare to continue digging, and decided to plant for a while. As for the three trees that have been dug up, he is too lazy to plant them, and plans to sell them directly in the Chinese medicine store tomorrow, so as to test how valuable the ginseng is.
