But soon, Tang Qiu's days of leisurely strolling in the mountains ceased to exist, because the vegetables she planted began to be edible. Of course, she didn't stop going up the mountain just because the vegetables were edible and she didn't have to go up the mountain to find food.

It was because there were too many vegetables for her to finish and she couldn't take care of them at all.

At the beginning, Tang Qiu had enough vegetables to eat, so she pickled some, made kimchi, and even made dried vegetables. She was so busy that she went to the county to buy vegetable jars several times.

This is not to mention the dishes sent to the Ai family.

Later, the one and a half acres of vegetables began to mature, and Tang Qiu really couldn't eat them all. So, she went to the Ai family for help. Tang Qiu's original intention was to hope that they could help her eat some. As a result, Ai Qiangsheng and Chen Jie came to Tang Qiu's vegetable garden and couldn't help laughing.

"Get up early tomorrow morning and collect all the vegetables to sell in the county!"

Ai Yuan didn't tell anyone about Tang Qiu's 20 yuan compensation, including her parents. So, everyone knew that Tang Qiu had been wronged outside, and no one would be willing to give away all the vegetables she grew. Money was better than anything else.

Tang Qiu naturally would not tell anyone how much money she had. Moreover, in her opinion, she would be penniless if she went to buy medicine again, which meant she was really poor.

Selling vegetables? She has never sold them before. I just don't know how much this can sell for.

However, if they cannot collect herbs and eat wild animals, will they also be prohibited from selling vegetables? So, Tang Qiu finally posted an update after more than a month.

“Can I sell the vegetables I grow at home?”

After asking this question, everyone realized that Tang Qiu not only grew medicinal herbs but also vegetables. Moreover, the vegetables were already available for sale.

So they left messages one after another, some of them said it was normal, saying it was OK, but they would have to pay for it. Others simply said they would let Tang Qiu sell it to everyone directly.

Tang Qiu thought it was possible to do this. After asking carefully, she was persuaded to give up. Because she only made a few cents per kilogram of vegetables, and the highest was only a few yuan, and the express delivery fee was several yuan. Was she stupid to sell vegetables online?

So, before dawn the next day, the Ai couple drove a tricycle to Tang Qiu's house, helped Tang Qiu put the vegetables on the tricycle, and then took them to the county vegetable market.

On the way, Chen Jie looked at the red tomatoes and juicy cucumbers and couldn't help but be surprised: "I didn't expect our Qiuqiu to have this ability. Look how well these vegetables are growing. And these green vegetables don't even have any insect holes. Qiuqiu, what kind of pesticide did you use? It works so well?"

Tang Qiu picked up a tomato and started eating it: "Pesticide? What is that?"

Chen Jie was incredulous: "You didn't use pesticides?"

Because the wind was strong on the tricycle, people had to shout when talking, so Chen Jie's words were also heard by Ai Qiangsheng who was driving. However, he was looking at the car and suppressed his surprise.

Tang Qiu also stuffed a tomato into Chen Jie's hand. The tomatoes were just picked today. She had eaten them when they were one or two red before, but she had never given them to Chen Jie.

When buying the seeds, people said that this was some kind of fruit tomato and that it tasted very sweet. Tang Qiu didn’t understand at the time, but he didn’t expect that they would taste so good later.

Seeing that Tang Qiu was eating with relish, Chen Jie started eating without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the tomatoes looked almost the same size, bright red, juicy, sandy, sour and sweet. They were much more delicious than the tomatoes she bought now.

Chen Jie ate all the tomatoes before she could hold back. Tang Qiu gave Chen Jie another one without hesitation. By the time the tricycle arrived at the county market, the two had already eaten more than ten tomatoes.

Ai Qiangsheng parked the tricycle, and Chen Jie and Tang Qiu got off the tricycle. Ai Qiangsheng said, "You wait here, I'll go ask where there's an empty spot to set up the stall."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ai Qiangsheng left, someone came to ask about the price of vegetables.

Tang Qiu knew the price of vegetables because she always bought vegetables from Song Zhe's house. So when people asked about the price, Tang Qiu told them without hesitation.

Chen Jie opened her mouth but before she could say anything, the old woman selling vegetables said directly, "Give me a bag and I'll pack it."

Chen Jie swallowed what she was about to say and said hurriedly, "Please wait a moment. This is our first day here and we don't have scales or plastic bags yet. I'll go buy some now."

Having said that, Chen Jie asked Tang Qiu to watch while she ran to buy something.

The old lady was about to leave when she saw the stall was so unreliable, but unexpectedly a tomato was stuffed into her hand: "Here you go."

The old lady looked at the red tomato in her hand in disbelief, then saw Tang Qiu take one and started eating it.

The old lady's family was well-off and she was a very particular person. She couldn't stand seeing people not paying attention to hygiene. At this moment, seeing such a pretty girl like Tang Qiu eating so carelessly, she couldn't help but say:

"Why don't you wash the food before you eat it? These tomatoes are covered with pesticides. If you eat them like this, it will affect your health."

Pesticides again. Tang Qiu paused and said, "What are pesticides? My tomatoes don't have any pesticides."

The old lady didn't believe it: "Nonsense, how can this vegetable grow so well without pesticides? Nowadays, when growing vegetables, fertilizers and pesticides are used, which one doesn't? It's not like the vegetables that were grown locally before."

Tang Qiu was even more confused. How could these vegetables grow if they were not grown in the soil? However, "What exactly are pesticides and fertilizers?"

When Tang Qiu asked this, the old lady treated her as a little girl who didn't care about worldly things. "Pesticides are sprayed on crops. Some can prevent pests, some can remove weeds, and some can increase the nutrition of plants. Fertilizers are fertilizers made from chemicals."

Tang Qiu said: "Oh", and then finished the last bite of tomato.

The old lady looked at it and shook her head: "I told you there were pesticides on it, but you still ate it."

Tang Qiu explained again: "My vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides. I use pesticides I make myself to prevent insects. I sprinkle them on the ground, not on the vegetables. Also, I don't use fertilizers. I just use water from the fish pond to irrigate the land."

The old lady was about to speak when Chen Jie came back. She happened to hear what Tang Qiu said and thought that the old lady had just realized that the vegetable prices were too high and was trying to figure out the price. After all, people come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables because they are fresh and cheap. It is normal that the vegetable prices in the vegetable market are cheaper than those outside. She was thinking that the vegetable prices Tang Qiu mentioned were all from before. Now the prices have all dropped and they are really not that expensive.

So, he hurriedly proved to Tang Qiu: "Yes, old lady, these vegetables are all grown by my niece herself. No pesticides or fertilizers are used. Because they grew too much and couldn't eat it all, they brought them here to sell. They are all grown honestly by our family."

After hearing this, the old lady was half-believing and half-doubting. She looked at the tomato in her hand, and finally picked it up and took a bite.

I was immediately attracted by the smell of tomatoes, which is a taste of vegetables that have been exposed to the sun.

So, the old lady, who had originally planned to buy only a little, bought some of all kinds of vegetables, and even bought half of the tomatoes.

As a result, because she bought too much, she had to call her son and ask him to drive over to pick her up.

The old lady's son was very helpless when he heard his mother calling and saying that she bought too many vegetables to take back. He thought that she had seen an elderly person selling vegetables on the roadside and took pity on him and bought all the vegetables for him.

He had to go to work but instead turned around and came to the vegetable market. It was because he was the boss of the company, otherwise, her mother would have to find a way to get home by herself.

When the old lady's son parked his car to the location the old lady mentioned, he saw his mother chatting enthusiastically with someone there.

No, not chatting, it seems like they are selling vegetables there.

My goodness, is this a new scam? Tricking old ladies into buying vegetables for them? If that's the case, they must have found a sack, sat it on the side of the road, and put a few wilted rapeseed on it? Who would pity them with all these people?

Moreover, the clothes his mother is wearing might not even be enough to buy this cart of vegetables.

As he got closer, he heard his mother chatting with someone:

"That's right. I've rarely eaten such delicious vegetables in all these years."

"Yes, I just ate one, it was so sweet. Look, I bought half a basket, my grandson will definitely like it. Kids nowadays are spoiled and very picky about food."

"Look, the girl said that the vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides. They sprinkled insect repellent powder on the ground. Moreover, the powder is Chinese herbal medicine, not pesticides! There is no pesticide on the vegetables, don't worry. This is truly pure natural."
