Chapter 542 Strawberry
Chapter 542 Strawberry
"Princess, look, aren't these red things fruits?" Rose asked excitedly, pointing at the red fruits as they entered a greenhouse.
Zheng Sisi walked over quickly and took a closer look, with a surprised smile on her face: "Oh, that's great, I didn't expect it to really grow. Come, try it."
As she spoke, she reached out and plucked one and handed it to Rose. She then explained, "This is a special kind of fruit called strawberry, and it tastes very sweet and delicious. These red ones are ripe, you can pick some and take them home."
Lily, who was standing by, also curiously picked one and put it in her mouth to taste: "Princess, is it okay to eat this without washing it?"
Uh… Zheng Sisi suddenly realized the problem and felt a little embarrassed, but she still answered with a stiff upper lip: "It's okay. As the saying goes, if it's not clean, you won't get sick if you eat it."
Rose looked at Zheng Sisi's expression and seemed to understand something. She quickly took the strawberry that was about to be put into her mouth. She thought to herself, the princess always fooled Mr. Zhong like this, and she must not be fooled easily.
Seeing that Rose had seen through her trick, Zheng Sisi touched her nose a little embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Then let's pick some more to take back. We can enjoy them slowly after we clean them, hehe!"
Lily looked at the red fruits on the dwarf vine and said excitedly, "Princess, the fruits on this vine are growing so well!"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked a fruit, carefully held it in his palm, and looked at it carefully. Zheng Sisi glanced at the fruit in Baihe's hand, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's really good, but we didn't bring a basket, so we can't hold many."
Lily heard this and said helplessly, "Yeah, what can we do? These fruits are so delicate, they will get bruised if we're not careful, and it's hard to preserve them."
Zheng Sisi thought about it and decided to pick a few to try first, and then ask someone to bring tools to pick them later.
So she said to Lily and Rose, "Let's pick a few first, enough for us to eat. We'll ask someone to bring tools to pick more later." Lily and Rose nodded and started picking the fruits.
While picking fruits, Zheng Sisi muttered to herself: "If I were alone here, maybe I could pick all the fruits in the greenhouse!" Thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lily asked curiously, "Princess, what are you laughing at?"
Zheng Sisi shook her head and replied with a smile: "Nothing, I just thought of some interesting things." This is a secret and cannot be told to anyone else.
The three continued walking forward and soon came to a field planted with red cabbage.
Zheng Sisi was surprised to find that the red cabbage here was growing very lushly, even higher than her knees. She bent down curiously and carefully observed the growth of the red cabbage. Lily and Rose also followed behind, curiously looking at the vegetable field.
Suddenly, Zheng Sisi discovered a problem - the red cabbage sprouts in the field were growing so well, as if they had never been picked before. If they were not picked and eaten, they would become old.
She turned around and shouted, "Rose, go to the other greenhouse and call two people over. I have something I want to know."
"Okay, Princess." Rose took the order and turned around to go out and call for help.
After a while, Rose came in with people, followed by Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma was in charge of the vegetable garden in the back garden. When he heard that the princess was looking for him, he was worried that something was not done well, so he hurried over to see the situation.
After greeting Zheng Sisi, Uncle Ma asked, "Princess, is there something wrong with this piece of land?"
Seeing Uncle Ma being so cautious, Zheng Sisi said, "It's okay. I just saw that this piece of red cabbage sprout is growing well, but it's so tall and hasn't been picked yet, so I asked about the situation."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought something had happened." Uncle Ma was relieved and continued, "We don't know this vegetable, and we don't know when to pick it or how to eat it, so we just left it here. I thought it would grow taller."
Zheng Sisi found it a little funny. It turned out to be her own mistake. She only gave the seeds and didn't tell anyone how to make the crops. It was good enough that they could grow them. She couldn't blame them.
Zheng Sisi patiently explained to everyone: "This vegetable is called red cabbage moss. Its leaves and stems are edible and have high nutritional value. Generally speaking, it can be picked when it grows to 30-40 cm in height. If you wait until it blooms before picking it, the taste will become bitter."
"When picking red cabbage, choose tender stems and cut them off from the root with scissors or a knife. Leave a little bit of the root when picking to let it continue to sprout. This vegetable needs to be cut continuously, otherwise it will not grow anymore."
