Chapter 05: The Magic Tomato

On the way home, Li Yuan was in a very good mood, and even felt that the alleys that he had seen for more than 20 years had become more beautiful than before.

The wild ginseng that was cut in two was finally left to Lao Liao. Although he made hundreds of thousands of dollars less, Li Yuan was not very distressed. Because he knew in his heart that as long as the magical peach pit was still in his hand, he could conjure up another century-old wild ginseng at any time. In that case, why bother with momentary gains and losses?

As for the peach pit, Li Yuan didn't tell Lao Liao. This fact is too bizarre, Li Yuan feels that even if he says it, Lao Liao will not necessarily believe it. What's more, if the ginseng became like this because of the peach pit, that was Li Yuan's biggest secret, and he didn't want to tell others.

"I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else!" Although there are often such plots in TV series, in Li Yuan's opinion, this is completely idiotic behavior.

If anyone says this to others, then his so-called secret will soon become a topic of conversation after dinner. And you can't blame others for not being tight-lipped in this kind of thing - even you can't keep a secret for yourself, can you expect someone else?

However, Li Yuan also knows that the first thing to find out at the moment is whether it was the gold beads that came out of the peach pit last night that turned the ordinary understory ginseng into a century-old wild ginseng. So when he got home, he immediately started experimenting.

On the way home, Li Yuan identified the experimental subjects -- the three tomato seedlings planted in the small courtyard. These three tomato seedlings were planted by Zhao Qian herself. And the reason why the girl grows tomatoes in Li Yuan's yard is entirely because he loves to eat. Zhao Qian is like this, although she has never said it, she always has Li Yuan in her heart.

Li Yuan carefully poured out a gold bead from the peach pit, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he felt. If today's experiment is successful, it will not be a dream to make a fortune in the future.

However, Li Yuan soon felt embarrassed - there were three tomatoes, but there was only one golden pearl, how should this be distributed?

Of course, Li Yuan could use a golden bead for each tomato, but now he already vaguely felt that this thing was very precious, and he was not willing to waste it so much.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan had an idea, filled the large cup of water he drank water in, and then tried to put the gold beads in it.

Li Yuan originally planned to break the gold bead, but he didn't expect that the gold bead would melt on its own as soon as it touched the water, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Even if he stared at the cup carefully, he couldn't see any difference between the clear water in the cup and before.

"That should work." Li Yuan pumped himself up quietly, and then carefully poured the water in the cup evenly around the three tomatoes.

After making sure that not a drop of water could be poured out of the cup, Li Yuan moved a small chair and sat in the yard to see what changes would happen to the tomatoes. Because he slept last night, he didn't see the changes in ginseng with his own eyes, and of course Li Yuan wouldn't miss such an opportunity today.

It turned out that Li Yuan's previous speculation was correct, and after he sat down for a while, the three tomatoes began to change. Right under Li Yuan's nose, the tomatoes began to grow taller, the leaves and sprouts began to slowly stretch, and the plants grew larger and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such a spectacle also made Li Yuan stunned, the same picture can only be shown with delayed photography technology, but now it appears alive in front of him, and the shock to him is naturally needless to say.

Li Yuan looked at it in a daze for a long time, watching the tomatoes grow from seedlings to taller than himself, and the stems were already thicker than an adult's arm, and they were almost three lush trees.

At this time, Li Yuan also recovered from the shock, looking at the tomato "tree" that was a head taller than himself, he couldn't help but mutter: "Okay, this time it's really going to be developed, haha, in the future, buddies can spend all day drinking, and they won't have to live a hard life like this now!" ”

Instead of continuing to grow taller, the tomatoes began to produce small white flowers, which began to bear fruit after the flowering had gone. At first, the tomatoes were only the size of soybeans, but then they swelled rapidly like balloons, and soon they grew about the size of Li Yuan's fist.

At this time, Li Yuan began to be a little worried, for fear that these tomatoes would grow bigger and bigger, if that was the case, he would not be able to explain it to others.

Fortunately, after the tomatoes grew to a little bigger than Li Yuan's fist, they no longer continued to get bigger. The color of the tomatoes began to turn from green to red, and it didn't take long for the three tomato "trees" to be full of bright red fruits, which looked very attractive.

Li Yuan carefully observed these tomatoes and found that compared with ordinary tomatoes, these tomatoes in front of him not only had a full and positive appearance, but also a more ruddy and gorgeous color, and the surface seemed to be covered with a layer of glaze, with a very obvious luster.

What made Li Yuan feel even more incredible was that all the tomatoes were almost identical. There is no difference in size, shape, or color, as if it had been carved out of a mold.

Although these tomatoes look beautiful, there is still a question of how well they taste. Of course, this is difficult to **** source, he picked a tomato casually, and took a bite without even wiping it.

The flesh and juice of the tomatoes burst out in Li Yuan's mouth, and the wonderful taste immediately made him involuntarily squint his eyes, and swallowed the flesh in his mouth after a few quick chews, and then sighed with satisfaction: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!" ”

After watering with water that has dissolved the gold beads, the tomatoes not only look good, but also surprise the taste. Li Yuan can say responsibly that he has never eaten such delicious tomatoes. Although he is not a professional and can't say lofty professional terms such as "sweet and sour" and "water content", the most intuitive feeling is two words - delicious!

Li Yuan ate three tomatoes in a row, and then he touched his stomach and said: "The taste of these tomatoes is really great, since there are so many tomatoes, I will send some to Lao Liao and them, so that the big guys can taste them fresh." ”

Li Yuan also said that he would do it, picked a few large bags of tomatoes, and hurried out. Li Yuan has lived here since he was a child, and many neighbors have taken great care of him. Especially Zhao Qianjia and Lao Liao, they usually send him some good things.

Don't look at Li Yuan's usual cynical appearance, but in fact, he keeps the care of others in his heart. Since these tomatoes are really good, of course he will share them with them.

Li Yuan walked around the neighborhood, distributed a few bags of tomatoes to a few neighbors who usually took good care of him, and then came to Zhao Qian's house with the largest bag.
