On each plant, there were about eight punnets of strawberry fruits.
It was a little like the yield of a harvest.
“This…”
Jiang Yue was stunned.
Didn’t they just plant the seeds at this time yesterday? How did the strawberry plants grow so big today? And it even had fruits on it?
What was speeding up the process?
The all-purpose nursery room could only produce strong seedlings in a day, but this small piece of yellow soil could produce ripe fruits in a day.
Jiang Yue walked over while thinking about this. She squatted down and stared at the two strawberries, as well as the rest of the bright red fruits. She frowned slightly.
At first, she had only suspected that this was not black wasteland but yellow soil. Perhaps something could grow here, so she planted two strawberry seeds to try. She did not expect that not only did they germinate, but they also bore fruit …
Since that was the case, she naturally looked forward to this piece of yellow land becoming bigger and bigger.
However, compared to yesterday, there was no change in the yellow soil. She didn’t know if there would be any changes in the future, but it was already a big surprise to her that it could bear fruit in one day.
Jiang Yue plucked a bright red strawberry and played with it in her hand.
This strawberry was quite big, and there were so many of them. It was obvious that it had almost finished its life in one day.
However, after the strong seedlings were cultivated in the all-purpose nursery, the strong seedlings would remain in a strong state and would not grow again. What about the things that were grown on this small piece of yellow land? Would it remain in this state after it bore mature fruits? Would the fruits always be hanging fresh unless she picked them?
If she wanted to know if that was the case, she naturally had to do an experiment.
The experiment was very simple. She let the fruit continue to stay on the plant. The fruit had ripened, and if it was not picked, it would rot in a few days. If it did not rot after a few days and still looked the same, wouldn’t it prove her hypothesis?
However, there was no need to hang so many fruits on the plants for the experiment. Two bright red strawberries on each plant would be enough.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yue began to pick the rest of the strawberries.
Only two fruits were left on each plant.
She put aside the strawberries she had picked.
It was not good to share it with other people in the family, but she could share it with Xue Yan. Xue Yan knew something special about her.
Feeling that there was no need for the two blades of grass to be there anymore, Jiang Yue pulled them out as well.
Then, she went to the all-purpose nursery to pull out the strong seedlings of the cultivated flowers and plants and put them aside.
Although she wanted to plant the flowers in and outside the courtyard, she only planned to plant a few for now. Therefore, she only cultivated a few strong seedlings.
After she was done, she took another look at the strawberry plant that had two fruits on each of its branches before leaving the space.
When she walked out of the room, she saw Xue Yan talking to Xue Yifu. Xue Yan was already carrying a basket on his back, and the handle of a small hoe could be faintly seen in the basket.
She walked towards Xue Yan.
Xue Yan didn’t say anything when he saw her. As usual, he treated her like a baby girl and held her hand to make the adults at home feel at ease.
They went up the mountain and looked at their five acres of barren land.
The barren land was scattered with plant ash, and his family also helped to water it. Compared to the others, his family was really diligent.
The things that were planted on the wasteland were all full of life.
The people in the village thought that they were all wild seeds, so they didn’t bother too much with this activity.
