The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 313 Another New Thing (9)
Cuihua immediately became furious, jumped up and was about to rush towards Mu Jinxi, but Mu Jinxi jumped away quickly and shouted: "Cuihua, calm down, I didn't mean it, I was just too surprised."

Cuihua stared at her ferociously and asked: "Then are you finished being surprised now?" If she dared to say no, she would just pounce on her and beat her up.

Mu Jinxi rubbed her nose and muttered, "Cuihua, why are you still so fierce? It's the same as before, and you even said we were friends."

Qiu Ju said to Mu Jinxi, dumbfounded, "Xiaoxi, stop making trouble, and hurry up, you know that Cuihua and I really want to know."

"Okay, come here, I'll tell you." Mu Jinxi finally became serious and waved to the two of them.

Cuihua immediately forgot the previous unpleasantness and walked over, and Qiu Ju was not far behind.

"Look, this is a tomato, this is a watermelon, and this is an eggplant." Mu Jinxi pointed out what kind of crops these sprouts were.

She spoke simply, but Qiu Ju and Cui Hua were confused.

"Xiaoxi, what are you talking about, what are watermelons, tomatoes, and eggplants? Is it the same as tomatoes?" Cuihua asked puzzled.

"That's right, Xiao Xi, I've never heard of these things. Are they vegetables? They are the vegetables we usually eat." Qiu Ju asked curiously.

Mu Jinxi nodded and shook her head again, which made Qiu Ju and Cuihua even more puzzled.

"There are both vegetables and fruits among them. Tomatoes can be eaten as vegetables or fruits." In modern times, many people eat tomatoes like fruits.

"Ah? It can be both a vegetable and a fruit. What is this? It's so amazing?" Cuihua exclaimed.

Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Actually, a tomato is strictly a vegetable, but later on some people gradually discovered that it is good to eat it like a fruit, so it became a fruit."

"It's so strange, it's the first time we've heard of it." Cuihua murmured, staring at the buds on the ground and asked, "Xiaoxi, which tomato are you talking about? Which is watermelon, and which is Eggplant again?"

"This is a watermelon seedling, and the edges of the leaves are smooth and regular; this is an eggplant, take a closer look, do you see a little light purple on the rhizome? This is a tomato, and the edges of the leaves are irregular, and they are easy to distinguish Yes." Mu Jinxi simply explained.

Looking at Qiuju and Cuihua, it was indeed as Xiaoxi said, their leaves are not the same, each has its own characteristics, it is really easy to identify.

Qiu Ju and Cuihua were overjoyed, they felt as if they knew a lot of things at once, staring at Miao Ya fiercely.

"Xiaoxi, how long do you think it will take for them to grow up? I really want to know what happens when they grow up, bloom and bear fruit." Cuihua said eagerly.

Mu Jinxi laughed and said, "How can it be so fast? It's only January now. I plan to cultivate these sprouts when they grow up, so that more sprouts can be cultivated. Don’t worry about the problem that if the seeds are planted, they won’t survive.”

Oh, so it is.

Cuihua froze for a while, but soon regained her spirits, looked at Mu Jinxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you must let me participate, I want to learn too! These are new things, if they are successfully planted by then , blossom and bear fruit, then I can show off."

When the people in the village or the town eat these tomatoes, she will be very proud and proud to say that she also grew them!
Qiu Ju also hurriedly said: "Xiaoxi, me too, I want to participate too, you can't forget me."

Mu Jinxi looked at Qiu Ju suspiciously and said, "Qiu Ju, aren't you getting married soon? Still have time to do this with us?"

Qiu Ju was startled, the happy expression on her face slowly faded, and said calmly: "The family will prepare for these things, don't worry about me."

In fact, she didn't want to marry that man at all. She had seen that man before, but she always felt that he was not a good person. He looked at her with narrowed eyes, not serious at all.

Seeing Qiu Ju's expression, Mu Jinxi frowned slightly, remembering that she seemed to have heard Xiaobao talk about Qiu Ju's marriage before. Could it be that Qiu Ju is really dissatisfied with her own marriage?
