After quitting 996, I became the master of the deserted planet
Chapter 14 Daily Life on Blue Planet
Chu's mother suddenly remembered that her daughter had gone to harvest. Where were the things? The supermarket was still waiting for them to be stocked.
"Jiaojiao, what did you buy this time? The supermarket has sold out. Your dad's group asks every day when the goods will be available." Mother Chu has a headache just thinking about it. Her relatives and friends also called to ask. It's really a sweet burden.
"Let me see. I was so focused on studying the mission rewards that I didn't even look at them carefully after receiving them. This time, I received a planting robot for completing the mission. From now on, I only need to prepare the seeds and don't have to do it myself."
"Then it will be easy. You don't have to do it yourself. You said that aliens can have robots to do the work themselves, so why would they look for you?"
"I need to prepare seeds. I'm just a seed carrier," Chu Jiao complained while organizing the system space.
"We harvested quite a lot this time, 500 acres of land, pears, plums, oranges, peaches, cherries, these are all fruits." Chu Jiao said as she put seven or eight of each on the dining table, and then ran to the kitchen to get a vegetable basket and put some of the harvested vegetables in it.
"Cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, eggplants, peppers, these are the vegetables we harvested, and this is corn. Let's cook them tonight and try the taste. The wheat and rice need to be processed. Dad, do you know where to get them?" Chu Jiao said as she took out a few more corns.
"Cook them all. Beans and eggplant together, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold cucumber salad, I don't know if the chili will be spicy or not, just sweet and sour chili, and cook some corn. I'll call him now. Since we don't sell fruits anymore, the supermarket isn't very busy, so we'll close early today. If we're preparing to restock tomorrow, we'll definitely be busy again." Mother Chu looked at the juicy vegetables and plump corn cobs. She had already thought of the recipe in her mind. After calling Father Chu, she took them all to the kitchen.
"Jiaojiao, take all the fruits on the table and wash them. I'll cut a fruit plate and try it out."
Chu Jiao looked at the pears and peaches, each weighing more than a pound. Cutting two of each should be enough. The tangerines were almost half a pound, so she washed three and gave one to each person. The honey plums were as big as her fist, so she washed three as well. The cherries were the size of ping-pong balls, so she washed more and put them directly on a plate. She loved eating them. She used to think they were too expensive, but now she can eat as much as she wants.
Chu Jiao washed the fruits and left the pears and peaches for Chu's mother to cut. She put the rest on a plate and put them on the coffee table in the living room. She turned on the TV and planned to wait for Chu's mother to come over and watch TV together.
Chu's mother had just sat down in the living room when Chu's father arrived home. He looked at the mother and daughter on the sofa in the living room with a confused look on his face. Is this his daughter?! It's hard to describe this face. It looks a bit similar but not quite. But apart from his daughter, there is no one else who can be so close to Chu's mother. Chu's father didn't understand and even felt a little dizzy.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed out loud, they were so happy.
After laughing, Chu's mother passed on the information she had just learned to Chu's father, who was also surprised.
"This medicine is so effective, it will probably cost a lot of money to buy. Jiaojiao, don't burden yourself. Your mother and I are still young, so it doesn't matter if we have it or not."
"That's what I told her. Do things slowly. Don't exhaust yourself like you did when you worked in H City. Look how bad your face looked when you just got home. You finally got better, so you have to take care of yourself." Mother Chu had endless things to say when she thought of this.
"Mom and Dad, I know. Don't worry. Come over and try the freshly harvested fruits. They smell good. I wonder if they taste as good too." Chu Jiao saw that her mother couldn't stop talking, so she quickly changed the subject and interrupted her.
The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room, eating fruit. A competitive music program was playing on TV. Chu Jiao ate a cherry in one mouthful, and she couldn't stop showing off.
"I can eat these cherries all the time and never get tired of them. They are so delicious. The ones I bought during Chinese New Year cost hundreds of dollars a pound and they were imported. They are far inferior to these. These are crispy, sweet and juicy. I love them so much."
"Both the peach and the pear are delicious. Try them. Don't just focus on one."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll eat them all. I'll try some oranges." Chu Jiao peeled an orange and shared it with Chu's parents.
"This orange is very sweet and juicy, with a thin skin. It's delicious," said Dad Chu after eating it.
"Well, it's so juicy in my mouth, and I can't feel any residue at the end of my chewing. Can I dry the orange peel and keep it? It's definitely cleaner than the tangerine peel I buy outside. It's all grown and ripened on its own, and I haven't used any medicine on it." Chu Jiao felt that the orange peel had a very pleasant fragrance, and it would be a pity to throw it away.
"Keep it. I'll keep all the orange peels after eating them. I'll use the oven to slowly dry them and store them." Chu's mother agreed with her daughter's idea. They are all natural and pollution-free. You can't buy them outside.
"This plum is delicious, crispy and sweet, with tender flesh and thin skin. The skins of plums bought outside are very thick, and they feel hard when you bite them, affecting the taste. This one is not like that. When you take a bite, the flesh is full of juice, and you can't even feel the skin." Chu Jiao commented as she ate.
"The flesh of this pear is so tender, it feels like it melts in my mouth. My throat feels moisturized and comfortable after eating it. This peach is so fragrant and sweet, it feels like eating dessert, and I feel so sweet all over." The personal opinions of Chu, the food reviewer, Jiao, kept coming from the living room.
"Jiaojiao, the fruit tree varieties you chose are all very good, and the fruits they produce are very delicious," said Chu's mother.
"Mom, I bought a lot of fruit trees online. I don't know if they are good or not. The land over there must be really good. I didn't prune the trees at all, and it didn't affect their fruiting. I saved the seeds from the fruits I ate. The watermelon seeds I saved last time have already grown. I plan to stop buying the ones I have already planted and directly use the seeds I saved to grow seedlings. This way I can save some money and buy a few more varieties."
"It would be great if it can grow. It can save a lot of money. I didn't throw away the seeds of the fruits we ate at home. I washed and dried them and saved them for you. I also took out the seeds from the pears and peaches I just cut." Mother Chu didn't dare to throw away the seeds after eating them since her daughter said she wanted to try growing the collected watermelon seeds last time. Now they can all come in handy.
By the time we finished eating the fruit, it was almost lunchtime. We were already full and definitely not ready to eat.
"Mom, I want to go shopping for clothes this afternoon. Most of the clothes at home are no longer wearable. Can you come with me?"
"Okay, let your dad take us to the mall this afternoon. You haven't been out shopping since you came home from H City."
"Dad, do you know where I can process rice? I harvested a lot of rice and wheat this time. Let me process a bag of rice and see how it tastes tonight." Chu Jiao suddenly remembered her rice and wheat.
"I'll take you to the mall this afternoon. You put the rice in my car and I'll go process it. I plan to buy a pickup truck this afternoon. I'll need it often in the future, and it's not good to always borrow from others. I'll pick you up at the mall after I order the car."
"Yes, it's convenient to have your own car, and this one is not expensive, so it's better to buy one. That's it, let's pack up and go out quickly. We have to rush home to cook dinner. There are so many new dishes waiting to be tasted." After saying this, Chu's mother hurriedly went to pack up.
There were no snakeskin bags like those used in the countryside to store rice at home, so Chu Jiao found a few large plastic bags, filled them with rice and put them in the trunk of Chu's father's car. After that, the family went out.
After sending Chu Jiao and her daughter to the mall, Dad Chu drove away directly. They split into two groups and each went about their own business.
There are still a lot of people in the mall in the summer. Some of them go to the amusement park to play with the beasts, and some come to enjoy the air conditioning. There are not many people who come to spend money and shop.
Chu Jiao didn't hesitate when she got to the mall. She went straight to the underwear counter and bought seven or eight sets of underwear. She couldn't make do with this because her old underwear was a bit tight. She then went to the sports and leisure wear area. Amidst the flattering praises from the saleswoman, she bought a few short-sleeved T-shirts, a few sports suits, a few pairs of sneakers, and a few pairs of jeans. She didn't care about the skirts because she didn't have the chance to wear them for the time being. These clothes would almost last her through the summer. She could slowly buy other clothes later. Online shopping was more convenient.
It was Chu's mother who paid the bill. She lost herself in the various compliments and was particularly happy to pay.
After shopping, I sent a message to Chu's father, and he replied that he had already ordered a car to process the rice, and it would take about an hour to come.
Chu Jiao left her clothes with the saleswoman, bought two cups of fruit tea, and took her mother's arm as they strolled leisurely in the mall. They attracted a lot of attention along the way. Although Chu Jiao was a little socially anxious and didn't like dealing with strangers, her vanity as a beautiful girl was still greatly satisfied.
It was almost five o'clock when Chu's father picked them up at home. Chu Jiao quickly rinsed the clothes she had just bought and hung them up to dry. They dried quickly in the summer because she still had to wear them tonight.
Today's dinner was all freshly harvested vegetables, and they tasted great. Chu Jiao finished two large bowls of rice.
After eating and drinking, it was time to clean up the mess. The family discussed the next day's plans.
"The procedures for the car I ordered this afternoon have been completed, and it will be back tomorrow morning. I will go to pick up the car tomorrow morning and buy some bags after that. I see that the rice is scattered without bags." When Chu's father went to process the rice, he saw Chu Jiao using several plastic bags to pack the rice. Then he remembered that he had not prepared bags for her.
"Tomorrow morning, the supermarket will put some fruits in. I'll be watching over there. Those people call every day to ask about fruits, and the fruit and vegetable group also asks about it every day." Chu's mother is scared by the questions.
"Let's put some vegetables in there too. Let's talk about the types of food we'll be having tomorrow in the group chat. Dad's going to pick up the car tomorrow, and Mom and I are going to the supermarket. When the car comes back, we'll process more rice and sell it in the supermarket. We'll also send some to my grandparents."
"Okay, let's arrange it this way for tomorrow, Jiaojiao. The day after tomorrow we'll send the bulk of the goods to the wholesale market to sell. This will be cheaper and will bring in funds faster. Relying on the small supermarket at home is too slow. Aren't you still waiting for money to buy seeds for the mission?" Dad Chu affirmed his wife and daughter's suggestions and appropriately put forward his own ideas.
After the whole family reached a consensus, Chu Jiao notified the fruit and vegetable group about the new varieties that would arrive tomorrow. Without paying attention to the replies, she returned the phone to Chu's father and went back to her room to rest.
