The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Mail
 

Nian Shutong looked at the obediently squatting Ha Ha and smiled knowingly. She picked up a piece of fried meat with her chopsticks.

“Ha Ha, here you go.”

Ha Ha was first surprised, then delighted. He held the fried meat between two fingers and showed it off to Fu Yunhe.

“I have some! You don’t! Ha ha ha!”

Ha Ha ate it in one gulp. He didn’t know exactly what it tasted like, only that it was crispy, fragrant, delicious, and left him wanting more.

“Wait, it will be ready soon.” Nian Shutong didn’t give him any more. Ha Ha didn’t make a fuss and waited patiently.

When the meat was finally ready, the potato and pork stew was also done.

A huge pot of potato and pork stew, complete with both pork chunks and ribs.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Nian Shutong shouted, and everyone washed their hands, ready to eat.

The Wang family had their own table, eating the same meal, feeling a bit more comfortable.

The taste of pork, especially when stewed in a large wood-fired pot, plus the melt-off-the-bone tender rib meat.

Every piece was intoxicating.

Pork’s status as the overlord on dining tables was definitely related to its taste.

Not to mention for those tasting pork for the first time, even wild pork was thoroughly delightful for them.

There was nothing but the sound of swallowing at the scene. No one spoke.

After the meal, everyone was unsurprisingly a bit stuffed.

That night, nobody continued to work; having been busy all day, they rested early since there would be plenty to do the next day.

However, before going to rest, Nian Shutong soaked some beans and bought some magnesium chloride on the Star Network. She had her own sodium chloride, which she planned to use for making brine water, thinking of trying tofu in the morning.

After everything was done, just as Nian Shutong was about to reach the door of the small wooden house, she saw Fu Yunhe waiting at the entrance.

“Is there something?”

“There’s a mail in the store about caramelized chestnuts; take a look.” Fu Yunhe stated as he found the email and showed it to Nian Shutong.

The sender was Li Zi, inquiring whether the maltose shown during the live stream could be purchased. He also mentioned seeds, asking if they could buy some, saying their region was very suitable for growing chestnuts.

“Maltose can be sold, same principle as selling salt. We decide how much to sell.”

“As for the seeds… let me think about it.”

“No rush.”

Nian Shutong nodded and then asked Daodao about the planting methods for chestnuts—whether to start from seeds, graft them, or allow them to grow wild.

But all these methods would take years, by which time the popularity of chestnuts could have already faded.

“Ding! Hello, Host! As the Farming System, I have the most extensive seed library! From chestnut saplings to mature trees, we have them all!”

“Do you sell seeds to others?” Nian Shutong thought only she could buy them.

“Ding! Hello, Host! No one can be a good farmer if they do not wish to become a seed merchant. Congratulations on unlocking the farming sideline—selling a set number of seeds will bring generous rewards!”

Selling seeds for a profit and receiving system rewards too? If she didn’t take this opportunity, it felt like she could be struck by lightning.

Nian Shutong immediately left the small wooden house and knocked on the room opposite.

Fu Yunhe swiftly opened the door, his expression questioning.

“I wanted to ask if I sell seeds, can I hide my identity too?”

“Yes.” Fu Yunhe seemed to understand what Nian Shutong intended and continued, “Our live channel keeps your identity secured, untraceable by others.”

“The small store is the same.”

Fu Yunhe spoke with certainty, even though he looked exhausted, he still maintained the dignity of a ruler.

Nian Shutong wasn’t fully sure about Fu Yunhe, but his words and actions seemed reliable.

“That’s great.”

“You can tell Li Zi that we sell seedlings and mature chestnut trees that bear fruit, all non-toxic and without needing any protective cover.”

“However, these seeds degrade quickly, so, all trees and fruits must not be used for seeds again; they need to be purchased anew.”

Nian Shutong’s words left Fu Yunhe stunned.

She had seeds that weren’t afraid of radiation? However, he quickly recovered and nodded, saying he understood.

After their conversation, both returned to their rooms.

One side remained tranquil while the other was overwhelmed with emotions. Fu Yunhe finally settled down, turned on the Light Computer, and replied to the email.

Meanwhile, Li Zi, who had been anxiously awaiting the email, finally got a reply.

He had been in his room, but when he saw the email, he dashed out.

“Grandpa! Grandpa! There’s an email!”

“I’m coming!” Grandpa Li Zi, in his seventies or eighties, still considered young in interstellar terms.

He and Li Zi, from north to south, rushed toward each other and met on the stairs.

“Let me see, what does it say?” Grandpa Li Zi quickly read through the email, a storm brewing in his eyes.

Mature chestnut trees or seedlings that weren’t afraid of radiation.

Could the Li family really secure these items?

“Grandpa, what’s the situation? Will they sell?”

“Is it a no? I knew it; who in the interstellar realm sells seeds! Let’s just keep selling the poisonous chestnuts; someone will buy them.”

Li Zi’s spirits dropped significantly, he had anticipated this.

“No, they’re selling.” Grandpa Li Zi, upon hearing Li Zi’s words, promptly made a decision.

Why not buy? If others found out they passed up the opportunity to buy something so rare, they would be criticized.

“Li Zi, reply to the email—tell them we’re willing to buy the mature chestnut trees. Also, for the maltose, we’ll proceed as they suggested.”

“Remember, be very polite.”

Grandpa Li Zi saw the need to build a good relationship with such a significant figure crucial.

Li Zi was initially puzzled by his grandpa’s expression but nodded solemnly in response, “Don’t worry, Grandpa, I will be very respectful, just like how I treat you.”

“No, treat them like the ancestors of our Li family.”

“Understood!” Li Zi now took it even more seriously.

“Good, remember, this is our opportunity. If we seize it, our planet’s rank will increase.”

Li Zi nodded earnestly. A higher planetary ranking meant more cultivation resources.

More resources meant more opportunities for growth.
