Chapter 231: Chapter 230: Planting

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

"Surprisingly, we were actually successful in growing them. We just wanted to experiment a bit, and before we knew it, it worked. Moreover, it grew in less time 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 consume it, everyone else can have their fill," said Professor Hao as he walked into the watermelon field, squatted down, and selected the watermelons.

"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 watermelons, 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 assume 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 deemed complete in the system, and she could earn a hefty sum of Cosmic Coins.

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

"Professor, this is huge. We can’t possibly finish it," Xia Yue said, looking at the watermelon 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 melon shed for now. We’ll go pick some cucumbers and cherry tomatoes first, and then we’ll come back to carry the watermelon home. We can share it with Professor Yuan. The old men 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 watermelon.

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

"The grape and peach trees you gave me 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. Come 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 methods 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 time to plant them, I’ll bring out the trees and seedlings for you to plant," Xia Yue told him.
