Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system Chapter 231 - 230: Planting

"Who would have thought you could grow waterlons outdoors in October?" Xia Yue wondered. She found it quite astonishing that they could still cultivate large, outdoor waterlons this late in the year.

"Surprisingly, we were actually successful in growing them. We just wanted to experint a bit, and before we knew it, it worked. Moreover, it grew in less ti and it’s ripe enough for consumption. We even tasted a few the other day. The texture was good and it had a nice balance of sweetness. Apart from people with diabetes who aren’t advised to consu it, everyone else can have their fill," said Professor Hao as he walked into the waterlon field, squatted down, and selected the waterlons.

"But these are too large, aren’t they? It seems like they might not be easy to sell since a family of four might not be able to finish one in one go," Xia Yue said skeptically, looking at the waterlons, which were significantly larger than the average size.

"While it’s not profitable for individual buyers, it could be lucrative to sell them in a supermarket or fruit shop, or even wholesale them to drink vendors." Since Professor Hao had previous experience dealing with a variety of crops and communicating with several vendors, he had a clear understanding of how to handle the potential issues with selling produce.

"Did you manage to find a sales channel?" asked Xia Yue.

"Yep, it’s all been arranged. After the incident with the strawberries, the higher-ups have realized how good the products from this vacation area are, and they plan to get their supplies directly from here and sell them themselves. I assu Yan Mo will provide you with a sales contract in a couple of days," said Professor Hao.

"Sales contract? Ah, yes, that rings a bell. I should have known that since this place is technically my private property in the system, I need to sign a sales contract if I want to sell anything."

This way, the transaction would be deed complete in the system, and she could earn a hefty sum of Cosmic Coins.

"We’ll eat this lon today; it’s ripe." Professor Hao picked out a lon, took out a knife from his pocket, cut off the vine, and picked the lon.

"Professor, this is huge. We can’t possibly finish it," Xia Yue said, looking at the waterlon in his hand in shock.

They would probably vomit before they finished the whole thing

"That’s true. Hmm... let’s just leave it under the lon shed for now. We’ll go pick so cucumbers and cherry tomatoes first, and then we’ll co back to carry the waterlon ho. We can share it with Professor Yuan. The old n have been missing you lately," suggested Professor Hao.

"Sure, let’s start with the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers then." Xia Yue had no objections to that, as long as she didn’t have to lug around that huge waterlon.

Professor Hao left the waterlon under the shed and led Xia Yue towards the cucumber field.

"The grape and peach trees you gave earlier are still thriving. My research shows that they have a highly active tissue structure that makes them extraordinarily lively.

The grapevines have crawled up the trellis and should be able to bear fruit next year. The peach trees are also growing slowly but have reached the targeted growth stage for flowering. I think we can plant these peach and grape trees. Co next year, we can harvest their fruits and sell them," said Professor Hao, filling Xia Yue in about the peach and grape seedlings that she had taken out earlier, as they walked.

"So, normal thods of cultivating peaches and grapes will work just fine, right?" asked Xia Yue.

"Absolutely, they can grow normally," nodded Professor Hao.

"That’s good. When you decide on a ti to plant them, I’ll bring out the trees and seedlings for you to plant," Xia Yue told him.
