Chapter 20: Things grown on the ground can be eaten!
When they returned to the underworld, there was a legend about the new stationmaster of Huangquan Station.
It is said that the new stationmaster is a vicious person. She will force the ghosts to work, and will kill them if they don't work.
The other ghosts who had not been to Huangquan Station were too scared to pick up the express delivery.
Huangquan Express Service Center received countless negative reviews and complaint calls that day, all of which were complaints against the new station manager.
Yang Fan didn't know all this.
The ghosts had cleared the weeds on the two hills behind and next to them, and planted all the vegetable seeds she had bought in the fields.
Early the next morning, Yang Fan carried a basket and went to the mountain behind.
The fruit trees on this mountain are all seasonal fruits, such as loquat, bayberry, cherry, lychee, etc.
All the ripe fruits had been eaten by ghosts before she came back.
It’s no wonder that these ghosts are quite selective. They only eat vegetables and fruits after they are ripe.
A talisman was used to burn all the fruits on the tree that had been eaten by ghosts. Then a few growth talismans were drawn, and all the fruits on the tree grew out again and grew to maturity.
Fruits with aura look particularly tempting.
Yang Fan went to the field opposite and followed the same procedure, and the strawberries in the field started to grow again.
After doing all this, most of the spiritual power in her body was drained away again.
She squatted down, picked a strawberry and ate it. The strawberry was sweet and juicy, and it was so delicious.
Yang Fan ate while picking, and soon the basket was full. She planned to give these to Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li.
It was just eight o'clock at this time, and Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li were both at home.
Seeing her coming, Grandma Xu said, "I was just about to call you for breakfast."
Yang Fan smiled, "Then I'm really lucky, I can have a meal when I come here."
"I also brought some after-dinner fruit."
Grandma Xu looked at the strawberries in the basket in her hand and asked, "Did you go to the street this morning?"
"No, I picked these from the field. The strawberries are ripe, so I picked some for you to eat."
Hearing her say that the strawberries were picked from the field, Grandma Xu frowned immediately, with a look of disgust on her face, "No, no, these strawberries are not delicious."
"It's delicious, please try it," Yang Fan handed the basket forward, "I've tried it, it's really delicious."
Is this strawberry edible?
Grandma Xu picked up a strawberry with some doubt. Just from the appearance, the strawberry was big and red and looked delicious.
She tried taking a bite and her eyes lit up immediately. It was sweet, tasty and juicy. This strawberry was really edible and so delicious!
"Yang Fan, the strawberries you grow are so delicious!"
Grandma Xu finished the strawberry in just a few bites, and then took a few more strawberries to eat. The more she ate, the more she found them delicious.
"What's delicious?" Grandpa Li came over from the fields and said to Grandma Xu excitedly, "Old lady, let me tell you, the vegetables I planted are edible!"
He held half a cucumber in his hand, and he took a bite in front of her. "This cucumber is edible, and it's delicious."
"Come on, have a taste."
He put the cucumber next to Grandma Xu's mouth. Because he was too excited, he almost smeared the cucumber on Grandma Xu's face.
Grandma Xu rolled her eyes at him, took a bite from the spot where he had just bitten, and then showed a surprised expression on her face, "Old man, this cucumber is edible!" Grandpa Li nodded excitedly, "It's edible, it's edible."
He would go to the fields every day to see how the vegetables he planted were growing.
When he went to the field just now, he found that the cucumbers in the field were growing particularly well. He couldn't help but pick one to try. This made him realize that the vegetables he grew were finally edible!
It no longer tasted like chewing wax, but tasted like the vegetables themselves, and it was even better than the vegetables he bought on the street.
“I can finally eat, so good!”
You have to know that they have worked so hard for so many years, sowing seeds every year in the hope of growing edible vegetables, but the result has disappointed them every year, as what they grow is extremely unpalatable.
Now that they were finally able to grow normal vegetables, the old couple were so happy that they jumped in the yard hand in hand.
Yang Fan looked at them and saw how happy they were, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Hey, Lao Li, Lao Xu, why are you two so happy?"
Grandma Yang and Grandma Zhou, who were strolling on the road, saw the couple dancing in the yard and jokingly asked, "Are you two doing square dance?"
When Grandma Xu saw them, she quickly took the remaining half of the cucumber and walked up to them. "Look, the cucumbers we grow are edible!"
“Your cucumbers are edible!”
The two old sisters were shocked by her news. They looked at the half cucumber in her hand in disbelief. Grandma Yang said, "Old Xu, you are not lying to us, are you?"
Grandma Xu said, "You will know after you try it."
Grandma Yang and Grandma Zhou each broke off a small piece of cucumber and ate it. The refreshing and sweet taste made the two old people's eyes widen.
“Your cucumbers are really edible!”
"It's really edible. The strawberries grown by Yang Fan's family are also edible," Grandma Xu thought of the strawberries that Yang Fan brought. She turned around and waved to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan walked over with the basket, and Grandpa Li followed him. He didn't know that the strawberries from Yang Fan's house were edible.
"Grandma Yang, Grandma Zhou, good morning." Yang Fan handed the basket to the two of them, "Try it, these are the strawberries from my field, they are delicious."
They each took a strawberry and started eating it, and Grandpa Li, who followed them, also took a strawberry and started eating it.
"Hmm! This strawberry is really delicious!" Grandma Zhou said with a look of surprise, "It tastes better than those big strawberries my son bought."
Grandma Yang nodded in agreement, "These strawberries are better than those on the street."
Grandpa Li didn't say anything. He ate several strawberries in a row, which showed his attitude.
Grandma Zhou suddenly thought of the key issue. The fruits and vegetables in Grandpa Li and Yang Fan’s fields could all be eaten.
Then can we eat the vegetables they grow in their fields?
Grandma Zhou slapped her thigh and said, "I'm going to go home and see if the things I grew at home are edible!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go back and see if my family can eat it."
The two old men rushed home. At this time, their legs no longer hurt and their waists were healed.
Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li looked at their excited backs and felt indescribable emotion in their hearts.
These old people stayed in the village just to grow some vegetables for themselves to eat. Now they can finally eat them. It seems that their persistence over the years has been worth it.
"Come on, come on, let's go inside and have dinner."
Grandma Xu happily pulled Yang Fan into the house to eat.
