Its exceptionally fresh and tender, far better than the high-grade vegetables sold outside! With a hint of sweetness, Lin Qingyao couldnt help but take another bite of this raw bok choy leaf.
"From now on, even if I couldnt find a job, I wouldnt have to worry, at least with this space, I wont starve to death!" Lin Qingyao thought contentedly.
"Ah! What job should I look for? Selling vegetables is it!" Lin Qingyao had an epiphany, figuring out the key point.
Although this piece of land doesnt look big, if vegetables and fruits are planted, one harvest a day, set up a small stall, it should be enough to sell, Lin Qingyao thought with relish.
But now that Im living with Xu Ran, I have to make it clear about the source of goods, otherwise its not good to explain.
Lin Qingyao slept well that night, but it didnt mean Xu Ran slept well too.
When Lin Qingyao pushed open the door, she saw Xu Ran sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.
His face was pale and dark circles had appeared under his eyes, it was clear that he hadnt slept well last night.
Lin Qingyao anxiously asked: "Xu Ran? Whats wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Xu Ran heard Lin Qingyaos call, as if he had been startled, and hastily got up. A clang was heard from his bosom, and a copper mirror fell out.
Lin Qingyao looked at the mottled copper mirror and frowned, asking: "Xu Ran, what are you doing with this mirror? Its all dirty like this!"
Xu Rans face was a bit strange, he wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally said: "I found it interesting, took it over to play with for a while, who knew that after basking in the sun, I actually fell asleep."
This explanation is a bit far-fetched, Lin Qingyao glanced at the mirror that was still on the ground, very ordinary, the kind that can be bought casually at a street stall, and she didnt care about it either. Plus, her mind was all about selling vegetables, so she didnt pay much attention to it.
In the morning, Lin Qingyao gave Xu Ran 100 yuan and let him solve his own food problem before leaving.
It was only later that she found out that this kind-hearted young man had used the last of his money to buy a rope to save her, and for someone who treated her so well, she would naturally repay him.
Lin Qingyao didnt delay either, and went around Liu Hutong to buy a lot of vegetable seeds.
Small tomatoes, small bok choy, bean sprouts, eggplant, and grapevine. Lin Qingyao only bought these few things, not much stuff, Lin Qingyao carried them in a bag, planning to go buy a tricycle again.
But Xu Ran, who was at home, was now holding the Bagua mirror and walking cautiously to the backyard.
In the backyard, Lin Qingyao hadnt had time to look around yet. The weeds were overgrown everywhere, and among them was a large locust tree with lush branches and leaves that covered an old well. On top of the well was a large stone slab.
Xu Ran hesitated for a moment, still not daring to step forward, but instead scolded with an angry face: "Im telling you! I dont care what kind of thing you are! Youre not allowed to hurt Qingyao sister! If you mess with me, were not done yet!"
Shasha...
Its the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the backyard is quiet.
Xu Ran turned around with a dejected expression and returned to the front yard, tightly closing the small door leading to the backyard.
A second-hand electric tricycle cost Lin Qingyao nearly two thousand yuan, and from then on... Lin Qingyao was left with just over two hundred yuan.
But Lin Qingyao wasnt worried at all, planning that this afternoon, she would harvest the small white vegetables she planted yesterday and sell them. With a way to make money, life would only get better and better.
"Qingyao sister, youre back?" Xu Ran was sunbathing in the courtyard and naturally caught sight of Lin Qingyaos return.
Its not that he didnt want to go out and find a job, its just that he couldnt muster up the energy throughout his whole body, as if he had been seriously ill.
"Qingyao sister, why did you buy a tricycle?" Xu Ran asked in surprise.
Lin Qingyao smiled and said to Xu Ran: "Use this to sell vegetables."
She paused for a moment, looked at Xu Ran, and seemed to have thought of something. She continued: "Xu Ran, I see you dont have anything to do either, so come with me to sell vegetables. Dont worry, your wages wont be shortchanged."
Xu Ran nodded without hesitation, although he was a bit worried that selling vegetables might not really make money. However, he felt that his sudden illness didnt know how long it would take to recover, and before he could still go to the construction site to do odd jobs, but now...
Whether there is a salary or not, it will be considered as repaying Qingyaos kindness for taking me in.
Since its been decided to sell vegetables, theres no need to hesitate anymore.
Lin Qingyao let Xu Ran help her occupy a stall first, from Liu Hutong to the east, about an hours walk away, there was a slightly larger vegetable market, Lin Qingyao planned to sell vegetables here.
Xu Ran was worried, thinking that he had been freeloading off Lin Qingyaos hospitality. After receiving Lin Qingyaos orders, he forgot to ask where Lin Qingyao wanted him to buy vegetables and hastily left the yard without another word.
Lin Qingyao smiled slightly, closed the gate of the courtyard, then went back to the house, locked the door from inside, and finally slipped into the space.
This time before Lin Qingyao entered the space, she was holding her mobile phone to record a video. She wanted to know whether after entering, there would be no trace of herself at all, or if that ring would appear again.
The legendary situation where one can summon clouds and rain in space did not occur, this matter of picking vegetables still requires Lin Qingyao to do it personally.
The vegetables were all gathered in, and Lin Qingyao scattered the seeds again. Before she could carefully plan, she exited the space.
Picking up the phone and taking a look, almost an hour had passed, which was about the same as the time spent in space with myself. In other words... this space only worked for plants and didnt have any effect on me.
She opened the video and, as expected, her body shook and suddenly disappeared into thin air. On the bed was a simple, old-fashioned ring lying quietly.
Lin Qingyao deleted the video, then loaded all the vegetables onto a tricycle. The white radish seeds she planted last night were just right today. She harvested a whole tricycle full of vegetables.
Lin Qingyao calculated that even if she sold it cheaply, she should still be able to get around 200 yuan.
Waiting for the vegetables she planted to grow more, her income will be better! Waiting for one or two years, she can even mortgage a house! Leaving Zhaos family, Lin Qingyaos life has truly begun!
"Qingyao jie! Qingyao jie!" Even from a distance, Lin Qingyao heard Xu Rans call.
So I drove over on an electric tricycle. It was around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and there were more and more people at the vegetable market.
They say this is a vegetable market, but its a bit of a stretch. Its just a narrow road with all sorts of small stalls on both sides. Lin Qingyao and Xu Ran have finished arranging the bok choy.
Lin Qingyao shouted at the top of her lungs: "Cabbage for sale! Fresh little cabbage!"
