Chapter 171: 171

171 Playing Favorites

“Eh, what’s going on? These vegetables are growing too well!” Grandma Shi was full of doubts. “And they seem to be growing a little too fast. They look like they’re starting to take shape now.”

Surrounded by vegetable leaves, the buds in the middle had begun to roll up piece by piece.

This would take place until the entire bag of vegetables had matured.

Gu Qingming’s eyes widened as she looked at these vegetables of different shapes and sizes.

There were 30 to 40 of them, growing in a stepped layout due to the difference in sizes.

The first ten were the smallest. The last ten looked the strongest and grew most vigorously.

Grandma Shi muttered again, “Could it be that I bought a mutated seedling? Otherwise, why would the same seedlings look so different?”

Gu Qingming’s ears twitched and she lowered her head slightly. The corners of her mouth twitched as she held back her laughter.

When the people working around saw the vegetables at Grandma Shi’s house, they started joking.

“Hey, Jiaoying, you’re not biased towards your daughters-in-law, but you’re starting to be play favorites when it comes to these vegetables. Look, these few are big and good-looking, and those few are short and small.”

“Haha, Auntie Jiaoying, your favoritism is too interesting. What are you trying to do? Eat the big one first before eating the small one?”

“Grandma Jiaoying, you’re really good at growing vegetables but you seem to favor some over the rest.”

Grandma Shi was speechless.

Gu Qingming was speechless.

This was indeed a little eye-catching.

It seemed that she had to control the watering.

No, she should not water the vegetables for the time being.

When these vegetables matured, would they taste better than ordinary vegetables?

What was the difference between their tastes?

… .

When Gu Qingming returned to the space, Kong Xingfan immediately flew over.

It chuckled and said, “Hehe, Master, isn’t that experiment a little eye-catching?”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Indeed!”

“So, I think it’s best if you take over a piece of land.” Kong Xingfan suddenly said very seriously, “Don’t look down on these villagers. They are very familiar with planting vegetables. You used grandmother’s land to experiment. The growth pattern is obviously a little eye-catching. Of course, they won’t think of anything else. At most, they will joke and say that they didn’t pour divine water on theirs.”

Gu Qingming frowned slightly and asked, “Little Kong, will the vegetables ripen early if you water them with the spiritual spring water?”

Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “That’s indeed the case. Although the spiritual spring water has been diluted, it’s still a little strong for these small vegetables. When they absorb the spiritual spring water, it’s equivalent to letting them grow quickly. Therefore, the more the spiritual spring water they get, the faster they grow.”

“It seems that I can’t water it anymore.” Gu Qingming pondered for a moment. “According to Grandma, it was clearly going to take more than ten days for the vegetables to form, but they’re forming now. They are even germinating. The items planted in the three fields are different. Yet, the growth pattern is almost the same.”

Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “This is indeed a problem. The maturity period is shortened, but not by a lot.”

Suddenly, its small eyes lit up. It smiled and said, “Master, seeds cultivated with modern technology can really shorten the growth cycle.”

“I know.” Gu Qingming nodded expressionlessly. “The problem is that the three plots of land in Grandma’s house have different varieties of vegetables, and the growth pattern is actually the same.”

Kong Xingfan thought for a moment and said, “Master, can we eat these things in advance?”

“Huh?” Gu Qingming did not quite understand. “Why do you want to eat in advance?”

“Eat it in advance and taste it.”

“Eat it in advance and taste it?” Gu Qingming touched it and her eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “Oh, I understand.”

Kong Xingfan asked in puzzlement, “What did you understand?”

The next day, Gu Qingming followed her grandmother to water the vegetables in the field again.

This time she didn’t put her hand on the rim of the bucket.

In other words, she no longer watered the things in the ground with spiritual spring water.

Gu Qingming pointed at those vegetables and asked her grandmother with a smile, “Grandma, can we pick these vegetables and cook them now?”

Grandma Shi smiled and said, “Why, Ming’er, do you want to eat these vegetables?”

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Looking at how tender they are, I really want to pick some back to cook! However, they don’t look like they’ve ripened!”

“These are all cabbages. You can pick them whenever you want,” Grandma Shi said. “In a while, I’ll pick some tender leaves and stir-fry a plate to eat!”

“Alright, then I want to pick those!” Gu Qingming pointed at the best-growing cabbages.

“Alright, you can pick any one of them.” Grandma Shi smiled. As long as Ming’er was happy, she could take her pick.

Grandma Shi really picked some vegetable leaves and went back.

“These are tender and green. It should be good to make.” Grandma Shi looked at the bag of vegetables that she had picked back. “This is really strange. There’s actually not a single rotten leaf in the bag of vegetables planted this time. It hasn’t been beaten with pesticides, yet it won’t grow worms, and it’s so good.”

Grandma Shi suddenly thought of something and was shocked.

Even Gu Qingming, who had been paying attention, noticed Grandma Shi’s change in emotions.

She hurriedly asked, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”

Grandma Shi said, “Ming’er, you’ve read a lot. Do you think these vegetables were planted with genetically modified seeds? I heard that genetically modified things grow well and quickly, but they’re harmful to the human body.”

Gu Qingming said speechlessly, “Grandma, don’t worry. These are definitely not genetically modified vegetables. Genetically modified seeds won’t be leaked to the masses. Ordinary people can’t buy them.”

“Oh, I see!” Grandma Shi nodded in relief. “Then I’m relieved!”

Gu Qingming said secretly, “Looks like we have to resolve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we make Grandma crazy, I will become a sinner.”

While her grandmother was picking vegetables, Gu Qingming also picked a few of the remaining three forms.

If they were put together, of course, they would be stir-fried together.

Their meridians were different, so Gu Qingming could easily recognize them.

When it was cooked and eaten, she could try them to taste the difference.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingming could not help but pinch a small leaf and put it in her mouth.

As soon as she put it into her mouth, her eyes suddenly froze. Then, she lowered her head and broke a stem with her hand before putting it into her mouth.

It was raw but very sweet.

She had tasted all four of them.

As expected, the more spiritual spring water there was, the sweeter the taste.

She just didn’t know if the taste would be so obvious when the vegetables were cooked.

At noon, Second Aunt came out with a plate of vegetables.

“Wow, what kind of dish is this? It’s actually so delicious!”

Everyone asked the same question after eating.

“These are cabbage leaves!”

“What? Cabbage leaves? Are they so delicious?”
