Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Xia Zixuan asked Zhiqiu and Zhishu to bring a melon and some strawberries over, and said to Shopkeeper Chen, "Uncle Chen, please try these melons and strawberries first."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen first glanced at Mu Chenyi. After seeing him nod, Shopkeeper Chen picked up a strawberry and put it into his mouth.

Instantly, the fragrance and sweet and sour taste of strawberries filled my mouth. "Xuan girl, how did you grow these strawberries? They are so delicious."

Then he took another bite of the melon, and it was indeed delicious. He was sure that all these fruits would not be enough for him to sell, so it seemed that he would have to limit the sales like he did with the peppers.

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "If Uncle Chen likes it, just eat more. I'll have to trouble Uncle Chen later."

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand and said, "No, these fruits will definitely sell well, don't worry, Miss Xuan!"

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Of course, I can rest assured leaving it to Uncle Chen."

Seeing that there were too many people here and they were not needed, Xia Zixuan said, "Let's go to the tomato shed. The tomatoes are ripe, and we have to pick them quickly, otherwise they will fall off naturally and go bad."

Mu Chenyi naturally agreed with whatever Xia Zixuan said.

Wang Xinyue also said happily: "Okay, Sister Xia, let's go! The tomato tastes delicious too, with a crunchy and sticky texture."

Su Baiyu also nodded in agreement, but Chen, the shopkeeper, looked confused, wondering who I was, where I was, and why I suddenly couldn't understand what they were saying.

But at this time, no one answered his question, as everyone left the strawberry shed and went to another greenhouse.

A few people came to the tomato shed and picked a few to eat. Shopkeeper Chen saw that they ate them directly without peeling the skin. Although he was puzzled, he started eating too.

After taking the first bite, he couldn't stop eating, thinking to himself: This is another kind of fruit! It has a different taste. Although it is not as delicious as strawberries and melons, it still tastes good.

The juice inside is a little sour, but the taste is sweet and a little sandy and sticky.

Shopkeeper Chen finished eating a tomato, looked at Xia Zixuan and asked, "Xuan girl, what is this? Is it also a fruit?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "This is called a tomato. It is a kind of vegetable, but it can also be eaten raw like a fruit. It depends on personal preference! But the most common use of it is for cooking."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Then Miss Xuan, can you write down the recipe as well?"

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, I've already written down the recipes for the vegetables in this shed. Just give it to Uncle Chen when the time comes."

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much, Miss Xuan."

Xia Zixuan nodded without saying anything else and walked in with a few people. Wang Xinyue saw the eggplant and asked, "Sister Xia, what is this purple thing?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "This is eggplant, which is also a vegetable. It can be braised, stir-fried with green peppers, fried with fish, or stewed with tomatoes."

Wang Xinyue was surprised when she heard this: "Wow! So many ways to do it!"

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Basically, there are many ways to cook every vegetable, as long as you are willing to delve into innovation instead of sticking to the old ways."

After listening to Xia Zixuan's words, several people were a little surprised. Hadn't they always been following the rules left by their ancestors and living an unchanging life?

It seems that they were wrong. Rules can be changed. It doesn't mean that they have to change all the rules. When they encounter unreasonable rules, they have to know how to adapt and break them. This way they will live more comfortably.

Xia Zixuan looked at the people in deep thought without disturbing them. She took Zhiqiu and Zhishu with them and went to pick eggplants with baskets on their backs.

When they had picked almost two baskets, Mu Chenyi came over and said, "You take a break, I'll pick them."

Seeing that he was still the same as before, Xia Zixuan didn't ask anything and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired, let's pick them together!"

Mu Chenyi nodded and said, "Okay..."

By the afternoon, they had picked nearly 700 kilograms of eggplants. Su Baiyu was surprised and said, "These eggplants are really fruitful! We've picked so many and there's still half left."

Wang Xinyue also pounded her shoulder and said, "Yeah! Ouch, I'm so tired."

Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you tired? I told you to take a rest, but you refused. Your arm will hurt even more when you wake up tomorrow."

Wang Xinyue walked over and hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "I want to help Sister Xia too!"
