Chapter 84: Second Sister Could Catch Ghosts
Not only were Lu Jiang and Lu Xin happy, but even Liang Ping and Aunt Yu could not help but look over at the garden from time to time.
Firstly, they had never seen this before and found it novel. Secondly, they had been taking care of the garden ever since those were seedlings. They would take a look every day to see how they looked like.
“Let’s go and dig for potatoes.”
Lu Sheng held their hands and led them out.
She took the bamboo basket Lu Dahua made earlier and a hoe, then started digging the potatoes.
“Ah Jiang, go and get a vegetable basket and pluck the red tomatoes.”
She would send some to Aunt Yu and Li Zheng later to try.
She spent the whole morning digging for potatoes. There were a total of three bamboo baskets. The tomatoes had a lot of fruits, with some red and some green.
Lu Sheng placed a basket of potatoes into the Space Bracelet and kept them so they could be seeds in the future. She kept the other two baskets for the Liang family and the Li family.
“Lu Sheng, what are these?”
Mdm Fang looked at the tomatoes and potatoes with a curious expression.
Lu Sheng explained, “This is a potato. You can cook it directly or use it to stew pork ribs soup or shred it for frying. This is called a tomato. Tomatoes can be used in dishes or eaten as fruits.”
“Where did you get these items from? I’ve never seen them in my life.”
“I bought these seeds from a strange-looking person in town previously. He said they could be eaten. I thought I would just buy them and try it out. I didn’t expect them to grow.”
She had seen the notes that Lu Ran placed in his room. Xuan Yue Country’s shipbuilding skills were amazing, and sea trade was booming. That was why foreigners often came over.
Although it was rare, it was not unheard of.
Mdm Fang nodded knowingly. “You’re probably referring to people from the Western Region. They have a lot of weird things there.”
Tao Jia was a businessman and she traveled extensively. As a result, Mdm Fang and Li Zheng had seen many rare items.
Lu Sheng chatted with Mdm Fang a while before leaving.
Aunt Yu had eaten tomatoes before, but not potatoes. Seeing Lu Sheng bring them over, she couldn’t wait to cook a few.
The potato was very powdery and contained a lot of starch. Aunt Yu said it was delicious, but was a little choking.
Lu Sheng smiled and told her to make shredded potato salad.
When Mdm Chen was cooking recently, she often came over to collect the tabasco peppers. Gradually, the Liang family became accustomed to the spiciness.
During dinner, Lu Sheng caught some crayfish and river crabs in the pond and made spicy crayfish and steamed river crabs.
The river crabs were very fat. They were yellow once opened. Lu Jiang and Lu Xin ate until they kept licking their fingers, saying that they would have more tomorrow.
“Sleep early today and I’ll bring you to town tomorrow morning.”
After Lu Sheng bathed the two children, she instructed them with a smile.
She wanted to send something to Lu Ran.
The duo was elated when they heard that they were going to town.
They remembered that the last time they went to town was two months ago and it was for a prison visit.
Recently, no one in the village mentioned Mdm Liu and Lu Dahua anymore. When the children saw Lu Jiang and Lu Xin, they did not mention that Mdm Liu was the murderer anymore.
Of course, there were still some private discussions. However, Lu Sheng could not be bothered.
As long as they did not mention it in front of the two children, she was fine with it.
“Second Sister, I heard from Goudan that there are ghosts in our house. Are there really ghosts in our house?”
Lu Jiang did not understand.
“No.”
Lu Sheng smiled. “Even if there is, Second Sister is here. I can catch ghosts.”
Lu Xin giggled and nodded her head trustingly.
“Be good. Sleep early and wake up early.”
Lu Sheng covered the both of them with a blanket, blew out the oil lamp, then returned to her room.
