468 A Tomato

On this day, Xue Dagui’s earnings, in addition to all other aspects, became 50 coins a day, which made everyone extremely envious.

He picked a few more strawberries and sold all of them each time. Then, there were red tomatoes that he could pick and eat along the way.

This time, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say that they would eat it themselves. Instead, they picked some tomatoes and brought them back. According to their family’s wishes, they threw them into the chicken pen and let the chickens at home peck and eat them to see if they would be okay.

Because they needed to make ice at home, they needed to use the yard. The chickens were all kept in the chicken pen and never let out. They were afraid that the chickens would dirty the yard.

Seeing that the chicken had been eaten for three days and nothing had happened, the family believed that it was fine and let Jiang Yue and Xue Yan take a bite out of it.

On this day, they were picking strawberries again. The two ladies came to help again. They heard that they had to pick other things that looked like the red persimmons. Apparently they were also edible and would be fine after eating them.

“What exactly is that? It’s like a red persimmon hanging on a stalk,” Qian Caiyu said.

“I don’t know,” Jiang Yue was calm. Although she didn’t like to lie, she didn’t need to draft a lie she had used before. “But it’s also quite sweet and sour. There’s a lot of juice inside, a lot of flesh, and the skin is thin too. However, it looks like a red persimmon and it’s a wild thing that doesn’t have a name. Xue Yan asked me to give it a name and I gave it. It’s called a tomato.”

Tomatoes were just tomatoes.

However, those who didn’t know usually meant that they came from foreign countries, so it was not appropriate to name them like this.

It was called a tomato, because it looked like a red persimmon, so it was called tomato.

Coincidentally, she had planted it on the West side of the forest, so she could name it this way to prevent others from thinking that there was something wrong with the name.

“It’s called tomato? Not bad, not bad, it sounds good.” The two ladies both felt that this name was appropriate.

Jiang Yue said, “You should bring some tomatoes home to eat. If you eat it with scrambled eggs, it should be quite delicious and I think it can also be used to make soup. You can eat it raw, but it’s a little sour. If you have sugar, you can sprinkle some on it and mix it with the soup.

“Alright, alright, alright. We’ll pick a few later.” Qian Caiyu laughed.

After picking the strawberries, they went to the half-acre tomato field.

This was the barren land they had bought from the village head’s house. The other one was planted with sweet potatoes, the other half with white sweet potatoes, and the other half with purple sweet potatoes.

The tomatoes and purple sweet potatoes were next to each other.

The two ladies both thought that they were all dug up from the wild. The thing next to the tomatoes had long vines, and the other one and a half acre of land looked similar. They didn’t see any flowers or fruits. They only saw vines and leaves. They thought that these were all the wild things that the children had planted in vain, so they naturally didn’t say anything about it.

Only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that they were crops that were growing underground.

No one had opened up the soil to take a look, so naturally, no one else knew.

However, it wasn’t the time to harvest the red and white purple sweet potatoes yet. Even if the soil was dug up, the red and white purple sweet potatoes inside won’t be big.

The tomatoes were red. Even after plucking all the red ones, it could only fill half a box.

When Jinshan and the others took the strawberries back to the ox cart and sent them to town, Jiang Yue also brought the small half-box of tomatoes to town to sell.
