On the way home, Li Yuan was in a very good mood. He even felt that the alleys he had been looking at 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 lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, Li Yuan didn't feel bad about it. Because he knew in his heart that as long as that magical peach pit was still in his hand, he could produce another hundred-year-old wild ginseng at any time. That being the case, why worry about temporary gains and losses
As for the peach pit, Li Yuan didn't tell Lao Liao either. This fact is too bizarre, Li Yuan felt that even if he told Lao Liao, he might not believe him. What's more, if the ginseng became like this because of the peach pit, that would be Li Yuan's biggest secret, and he didn't want to tell others.
"I'll tell you a secret, please don't tell others!" Although there are often such plots in TV dramas, in Li Yuan's view, this is completely idiotic behavior.
If someone said that to others, his so-called secret would soon become a topic of conversation. And this kind of thing can't be blamed on other people's tongue-in-cheek-even if you can't keep a secret for yourself, can you still count on others
However, Li Yuan also knew that the first thing to do right now was to find out whether it was the golden pearls oozed out of the peach pits last night that turned ordinary under-forest ginseng into century-old wild ginseng. So when he got home, he immediately started experimenting.
On the way home, Li Yuan identified the subjects of the experiment—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 planted tomatoes in Li Yuan's yard was entirely because he loved to eat them. Zhao Qian was like this. Although she never said it out loud, she always had Li Yuan in her heart.
Li Yuan carefully poured out a golden bead from the peach pit, and the more he looked at it, the happier he felt. If today's experiment is successful, it will not be a dream to become rich in the future.
However, Li Yuan soon felt awkward—there were three tomatoes, but only one golden bead, how should they be distributed
Of course Li Yuan can use a golden bead for each tomato, but right now he has a faint feeling that this thing is very precious, and he is not willing to waste it like this.
After thinking for a while, Li Yuan had an idea, filled his drinking cup with clear water, and then tried to put the gold beads in it.
Li Yuan originally planned to break the golden bead, but he didn't expect that the golden bead would melt by itself as soon as it touched the water, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Even if he stared at the glass carefully, he couldn't see any difference between the clear water in the glass and before.
"This should work." Li Yuan cheered himself up in a low voice, then carefully poured the water in the cup evenly around the three tomatoes.
After confirming again and again that not a single drop of water could be poured out of the cup, Li Yuan moved a small chair and sat in the yard to watch how the tomatoes would change. Because of sleeping last night, he didn't see the changes of ginseng with his own eyes. Of course, Li Yuan would not miss such an opportunity today.
Facts proved that Li Yuan's previous speculation was correct. He only sat down for a while, and the three tomatoes began to change. Right under Li Yuan's eyes, the tomatoes began to grow taller, and the leaves and new shoots also began to unfold slowly. The plants grew bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Yuan was stunned by such a spectacle. The same picture can only be shown with time-lapse photography technology, but now it appears alive in front of him. Needless to say, he was shocked.
Li Yuan stared blankly like this for a long time, watching the tomatoes grow from seedlings to be taller than himself, with stems thicker than an adult's arm, and they became three lush trees.
At this time, Li Yuan also recovered from the shock, looking at the tomato "tree" that was a head taller than him, he couldn't help but muttered to himself happily: "Okay, this time it's really going to be prosperous, Haha, from now on, buddies will be able to spend their days and nights, and never have to live through such a hard life now!"
The tomatoes did not continue to grow taller, but began to bloom small white flowers, and began to bear fruit after the flowers faded. At first the tomato was only the size of a soybean, but then it swelled up like a balloon, and soon it grew to be about the size of Li Yuan's fist.
At this time Li Yuan began to worry a little, for fear that these tomatoes would grow bigger and bigger. If that was the case, it would be difficult for him to explain it to others.
Fortunately, after the tomato grew to be slightly bigger than Li Yuan's fist, it stopped growing. The color of the tomatoes began to turn from green to red. It didn't take long for the three tomato "trees" to be covered with 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 are not only plump and upright in shape, but also more ruddy and brighter in color, as if glazed on the surface, with a very obvious luster .
What makes Li Yuan even more incredible is that all the tomatoes are almost exactly the same. There is no difference in size, shape, or color, as if carved from a mold.
While these tomatoes look pretty, there's also the question of how they will taste. Of course, it’s hard to guess the source, he picked a tomato casually, and bit down without even wiping it.
The pulp and juice of the tomato exploded in Li Yuan's mouth, and the delicious taste immediately made him squint his eyes involuntarily. After chewing a few times, he swallowed the pulp in his mouth, and then sighed contentedly: "It's delicious, too delicious!"
Watered with water in which gold beads have been dissolved, the tomatoes not only look good, but also taste amazing. Li Yuan can say responsibly that he has never eaten such a delicious tomato. Although he is not a professional and can't name high-level 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: "These tomatoes taste really good, since there are so many, I will give some to Lao Liao and the others, so that everyone can taste something fresh." Bar."
Li Yuan also did what he said, picked a few tomatoes in large plastic bags, and hurried out the door. Li Yuan lived here since he was a child, and many neighbors took good care of him. Especially Zhao Qian's family and Lao Liao, who usually send him some good things.
Don't look at Li Yuan's cynical look at ordinary times, but he always keeps others' care of him in his heart. Since the tomatoes were really good, of course he would share them too.
Li Yuan walked around the neighborhood, distributed several bags of tomatoes to several neighbors who usually took good care of him, and then came to Zhao Qian's house with the most bags.
