Life is done step by step. In addition to writing routinely every day, Kang Mingsong is paying attention to the situation of the vegetable garden every day. Of course, he will also take a walk around home sooner or later, or talk nonsense with classmates and friends online, and his life is extremely fulfilling.

Of course, the only thing that is uncomfortable here is that their parents will ask about Lu Xiaofang's situation every now and then. This is the time when Kang Mingsong is most troublesome, and he has to dig into some excuses to send his parents.

As an old man who was eager to hold his grandson, the two elders had a strong desire for knowledge in this regard, and they had to ask about it almost every day. In other words, Lu Xiaofang rarely contacted them by phone before, otherwise Kang Mingsong would be even more annoyed and could not even hide it.

In such a fulfilling life mixed with some upset life, life passes very quickly.

In mid-May, Kang Mingsong cultivated seeds for the third time. This time the third variety he chose was cucumber. There were only 30 seeds per gram of cucumber. After cultivation, the seedlings that germinated after the seedlings were a whole number: thirty plants.

Just when the cucumber seeds sprouted, the tomatoes planted more than two months ago had already begun to bloom and bear fruit in large quantities.

During this period, Kang Mingsong discovered the appearance of tomato cotton bollworms and whiteflies. In this regard, he did not hold on to the idea of ​​not using pesticides, but sprayed pesticide twice in time.

At this time, there is still one month before the tomatoes are ripe. If you spray some pesticides, there will be no residue at that time.

Or when the super breeder can be upgraded and more characteristics can be cultivated, you can consider cultivating tomatoes' insect resistance, which can reduce or even avoid the use of pesticides.

……………………

In mid-June, when the tomatoes are about to ripen, Kang Mingsong used a super breeder to cultivate seeds for the fourth time.

This time, Kang Mingsong chose to cultivate tomato seeds again, which made him think of off-season planting.

At this time, due to the high temperature, the time of the germination and seedling stage will be greatly shortened. You can transplant it in July and bloom and bear fruit around mid-August, but the large amount of ripening will have to wait until around National Day.

As late June, the earliest tomatoes began to ripen.

The first day when Kang Mingsong discovered that the tomatoes that turned completely red was the summer solstice.

Kang Mingsong, who had been waiting for nearly four months, couldn't wait to pick it down and take it home.

I used a small dish basin to fill some spring water from the well, washed the tomatoes well, and then cut them into small pieces with a fruit knife.

This tomato is quite large, bigger than an adult's fist. Kang Mingsong estimated that it weighs about one pound.

Put the sliced ​​tomatoes on a plate. If they are ordinary tomatoes, some white sugar will be poured on at this time before starting to eat.

However, Kang Mingsong just wanted to taste it and prove whether the super breeder is really useful, so the step of pouring white sugar can be omitted.

Kang Mingsong was too lazy to get the chopsticks. Anyway, he had just washed it in the vegetable basin before cutting the tomatoes. He directly stretched out two fingers and grabbed a piece and put it into his mouth.

The next moment, Kang Mingsong's eyes widened.

Then, Kang Mingsong ran to the yard outside with a plate of tomatoes in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other.

……………………

In the yard, my parents are choosing potatoes. The potatoes from several acres of land grown at home have just been dug home, and my parents are sorting them by size for easy storage.

"Dad, mom, come and try the tomatoes I grow." Kang Mingsong said as if offering treasures.

The two disagreed with their son's big troubles. However, considering that this was the first product grown by his son, they were a little clear about it.

It was not bad that my son's kindness was not good, so Xiu Chengyan took the lead in picking up a piece of tomato with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste it.

Unexpectedly, this tomato was as sweet as honey, and its rich fragrance rushed straight into the forehead, which shocked Xiu Chengyan.

"Why are you in a daze?" Seeing his wife standing foolishly, Kang Dazhi patted her and said, "Hurry up, today's task is not light!"

"Dad, try this!" After Xiu Chengyan woke up, she stuffed a piece of tomato into Kang Dazhi's mouth without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the tomato was too sweet, Kang Dazhi choked without any preparation, and coughed in the yard, making a joke.

After such a small episode, the couple discovered that the tomatoes grown by their son for several months were really different from other tomatoes. Not only was the taste delicious, but the tomato itself was also extremely fragrant.

In this way, the first tomato that Kang Mingsong picked was not enough to eat. The couple picked one piece, and added two to five to eat the tomato quickly.

When they found that there were no tomatoes left on the plate, they realized that their son seemed to have not eaten a piece and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Kang Mingsong didn't care. His parents' performance proved that the tomatoes he grew were extraordinary. It also proved that the super breeder was really effective.

As a result, he became more and more looking forward to the other two varieties of pepper and cucumber he cultivated.

……………………

The tomatoes mature very quickly. On the first day, only one ripened, but dozens of ripened the next day. Kang Mingsong picked them all and weighed them for a while. It turned out to be nearly thirty kilograms.

With so many tomatoes, my family of three will definitely not be able to eat so much.

My mother Xiu Chengyan said she wanted to give some to her relatives and neighbors around her, but she was dissuaded by Kang Mingsong. My eldest brother-in-law had already said that after the tomatoes were ripe, he would like to ask for some in the restaurant. So, I might as well give him some.

So Kang Mingsong packed the tomatoes in a basket, then took the minibus that drove to the city at noon and entered the city.

The reason why I did not choose to use other tools with better sealing properties such as plastic bags is mainly because ripe tomatoes will release ethylene, which will promote further ripening of tomatoes when sealed. If the tomatoes are shorter, they will quickly break down.

When he arrived at his elder sister's restaurant, his elder brother-in-law Yunlian was very satisfied when he saw the appearance of these tomatoes. After he tasted one, he said without hesitation that he had asked for all the 20 kilograms of tomatoes brought by Kang Mingsong, and the price was what he said first to Kang Mingsong, which was 20% higher than the market price.
