The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 444 - 443: Fruits Ripen
Chapter 444: Chapter 443: Fruits Ripen
Nian Shutong immediately found Wang Fu and asked him to select a group of people who would not go to work in the fields tomorrow but instead pick peaches and grapes.
Upon receiving the order, Wang Fu turned around to arrange the task.
Nian Shutong then went to find Rubble and asked him to make some convenient tools and baskets for holding the fruit.
"Alright, Ms. Nian Shutong."
"Rubble has already prepared some woven baskets, do we need more?"
Nian Shutong asked in surprise, "When did you prepare these?"
"While Ms. Nian Shutong was planting the fruit."
Nian Shutong really started to see Rubble in a new light and praised him, "Impressive!"
"Rubble is just doing what Rubble ought to do."
"Fine! You do what you have to do, I’ll give my compliments, and we won’t affect each other."
Nian Shutong left with Rubble, as it was time to eat.
For dinner, there were several large pots of pork dishes, which were not just for Nian Shutong and her group, but also a large bowl was distributed to every household.
After everyone had received their share of the pork dishes and returned home, some fried a couple more dishes, while others found a single bowl sufficient to begin their dinner.
A meal of pork dishes, after everyone had their fill, left them all with the sensation of sitting while clutching their bellies.
It was not that they couldn’t bear to leave, but that they dared not move,
fearing their belts might fly off.
Some even felt too bloated to think clearly, and no one was in the mood to speak.
After about twenty minutes of silence, Nian Shutong was the first to stand up and said to everyone, "Rest early; we’ll pick fruit tomorrow."
"Elder Hua, there will be no school tomorrow."
"Ah, got it," Elder Hua responded, still sitting, clearly not having the digestive capacity of the boss.
Ha Ha even looked at Nian Shutong with envy, saying, "Nice, Ha Ha wishes to have a stomach like yours."
"Ha Ha didn’t eat as much as you, you’re amazing!"
Nian Shutong, envied for her "large stomach," wasn’t sure whether to feel happy or disgusted as she glanced at Ha Ha.
"Ha Ha, being able to make you full is also a merit on my part."
She still remembered the moment when Ha Ha first came and, after eating a pile of food, told her that he was only half full.
Looking at him now, he was so stuffed he could hardly move!
"You should get up and move around on your own to digest, otherwise, your stomach might start to hurt."
After advising everyone, Nian Shutong left first to continue her cultivation.
Nian Shutong, who had walked quite a distance, finally sat down cross-legged, taking out the Mouse Sculpture.
"Do you still have Spiritual Energy?"
She had been absorbing the spiritual energy from this little white mouse sculpture for a long time.
Muttering to herself, Nian Shutong closed her eyes and continued to absorb the spiritual energy from the white mouse.
After a night had passed, the glow surrounding the little white mouse had completely disappeared, but for some reason, it hadn’t woken up yet.
"Could it be that it’s not one of the zodiac animals?"
"No, Yangyang called it Little Mouse Brother."
Nian Shutong was momentarily puzzled, but she took the little white mouse in her hand to bring back with her, thinking there might be some restriction on it.
After all, the little white mouse was infused with Spiritual Energy, while the others were toxins.
She casually slipped the little white mouse into her pocket; being palm-sized, it wasn’t too cumbersome.
Nian Shutong set off back to the small wooden house, ready to return and pick fruit.
When she arrived at the small wooden house, many residents had already reached the orchard.
She skipped breakfast and went straight to the orchard first to teach everyone how to pick fruit properly.
But upon her arrival, she realized something—her instruction might not be needed.
Everyone was doing better than she would have, even bringing gloves to prevent damage to the fruit.
Moreover, fruits of different sizes had been separately packed.
As Nian Shutong approached, Wang Fu stepped forward and said, "Boss, I had them sort the fruits by size because I’ve seen on the Star Network that fruits of different sizes have different prices."
"Very good," Nian Shutong praised Wang Fu for the first time, filling him with the excitement of being acknowledged.
"You’re doing great, keep it up." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
After taking a round of inspection and finding nothing amiss, Nian Shutong headed straight back to the small wooden house.
After finishing breakfast, she took the children, who had just ended their morning reading, to the orchard as well.
"Watch how the adults pick the fruits. It’s alright if you pick slowly because you’re small. Don’t rush; take your time."
"Got it?"
"Understood!"
The children’s uniform response pleased Nian Shutong, who then allocated a special area for them to pick fruits from a few designated trees.
As for the possibility of them damaging the fruits, Nian Shutong didn’t mind; the spoiled ones could be made into canned fruit.
She simply wanted the children to experience different kinds of labor.
Nian Shutong looked at the scene before her and once again had Xiao Ba record a video, which she uploaded to Gaia Video.
Blush-pink peaches, dark purple grapes, crowds of pickers, and baskets brimming with fruits.
The short video was quickly shared on the video-sharing platform.
And the most frequent comment was: Is it for sale?
This time, many ladies and young misses from noble families also began to pay attention to this video host.
Fruits really were considered a luxury in the interstellar space.
Not to mention fruits that looked as good as these.
Nian Shutong had Xiao Ba uniformly reply that in two days, on Monday’s live broadcast, she would make delicious treats with the fruits and would also start selling them in the small store, asking everyone to please wait patiently.
Most of the people who received a definite answer waited patiently, but there were some spoiled kids who absolutely wanted to eat them right now.
Harassed parents who couldn’t stand the nagging started to make inquiries.
When Yu Zeming received such convoluted requests, he flatly refused.
What a joke! He hadn’t even gotten to taste them yet. And they wanted to jump the queue?
Do they even realize that not even the Royal Family was in a hurry?
Rejected parents lost some face, yet they couldn’t find anywhere to vent their frustration.
Apart from a live streaming room and a small store, Little River Live didn’t reveal who was behind it.
The disgruntled parents ultimately chose to spam the comment section on Gaia.
[Who knows if this isn’t just a staged setup?]
[Right, how can fruits grow like that?]
[The color and size don’t seem quite right!]
[Exactly, with technology so advanced, faking it isn’t impossible.]
[I consulted an expert, and they said that it’s impossible to grow such fruits in the interstellar space.]
[Indeed, if it were possible, with so many people in the interstellar space, who has eaten such peaches? Or even seen them?]
All sorts of comments accused the Gaia Video of fakery, claiming it’s impossible for such fruits to be grown in space, and even suggesting no one would eat them if sold.
Nian Shutong paid no attention to any of these comments.
She only did one thing: she sent out express deliveries.
Several express boxes were dispatched, and that evening, many families received their shipments.

Yu ZemingV: Ah... how come these "fake" peaches taste so good? I’m in love with this "fake" peach!
Mr. YuV: Xiao Er, why does it look like you have more peaches than me?
He XinchunV: I only snatched three grapes from a bunch! What a bunch of mean friends!
Not just these individuals, but also the likes of Yu Zeling, Food University, Principal Shu, Shu Zhuo, and others, all posted on Star Blog.
Just when everyone thought the matter had been settled, another related post on Star Blog left a multitude of netizens flabbergasted.
