Chapter 5 – The miraculous tomato
On the way home, Li Yuan’s mood was very good, so much so that he could already see 20 years in the future wherein he will lead a good life.
The two pieces of the Yeshan ginseng has been given to Old Liao, although it could fetch hundreds of thousands, Li Yuan did not feel any regret. That is because he had a clear mind, as long as he had the miraculous peach pit on his hands, he can once again create another Yeshan ginseng. Since this is the case, there is no reason to be worried.
As for the matter of the peach pit, Li Yuan did not inform Old Liao. This matter was just really too bizarre, he did not have the confidence to tell Old Liao. The peach pit was Li Yuan’s big secret, he will not tell it to anyone.
“I will tell you a secret, but you must not tell anyone else!” Although this kind of line is something that is always used in TV soap operas, in Li Yuan’s situation it is suitable.
If someone said such a thing, then the so called secret will become a hot topic. This kind of thing cannot be blamed on the person – some just can’t keep secrets, don’t tell me you actually hope that they will keep it?
Li Yuan has his mind set, he wanted to clarify the situation of the peach pit wherein it seeped out the golden bead. Letting the average Linxia ginseng to turn into a hundred year Yeshan ginseng. That is why the moment he gets home, he will begin to investigate.
Li Yuan on his way home on the road had a target – three tomato sprouts inside the small courtyard. These three tomato sprouts was something Zhao Qian personally planted. The reason why the young lady did such a thing is because Li Yuan loved to eat tomatoes, nothing more. Zhao Qian is always like this, although she doesn’t say it, she always thought about Li Yuan.
Li Yuan carefully squeezed out a drop of the golden bead from the peach pit, he was happy. If his experiment succeeded, him becoming rich will not just be a dream.
However Li Yuan felt his situation was difficult, there were three tomatoes but only one golden bead. How was he supposed to distribute this?
Li Yuan can use one golden bead for each, however he felt that it was too precious, he didn’t want to waste it.
After thinking for a while, Li Yuan came up with a brilliant idea. He would fill up a cup with water then place the golden bead inside.
He originally planned to break the golden bead, however he thought of diluting it by placing it on water. In a flash it disappeared, he was looking at the cup attentively but he could not tell the difference from normal fresh water.
“This should do it.” Li Yuan in a low voice said to himself to boost his morale. After which he cautiously held the cup and poured it to the three tomatoes surroundings.
Again and again he would pour water bit by bit, Li Yuan moved his chair out to the courtyard to observe the tomatoes if there was a difference. That is because last night when he slept, he did not see the change on the ginseng. Naturally, today he did not want to miss what would happen.
Li Yuan wanted to prove his speculation. As he was sitting down, the tomatoes began to change. In front of Li Yuan’s eyes, the tomatoes began to grow taller little by little, the leaves and the bud started to unfold. The plant on his naked eye became more and more big.
This marvel left Li Yuan dumbstruck, what happened in front of him seemed like a film, however it occurred in front of his presence which naturally gave him a shock.
Li Yuan stared blankly for quite a while, now the height of the tomato sprout is comparable to his own, the branches already as big as an adult’s arm, the three simply looked like a lush tree.
Finally Li Yuan woke up from his shock and looked at the tomato “tree” that was as tall as him. He couldn’t help himself but smile with delight: “Good, this is what I wanted, haha, this brother can finally live his life in pleasure. Not worrying anymore about hard times!”
The tomato stopped growing taller, rather it began to create small flowers. After the flowers opened up it started to bear fruit. At first it was just the size of a soybean, however it rapidly ballooned and expanded, it was the size of Li Yuan’s fist.
At this moment Li Yuan started to be anxious, if it became too big it would be no good, he will be forced to explain.
Luckily the tomato only grew to be a bit bigger than Li Yuan’s fist, it no longer changed. The color of the tomato changed into red, it was no longer a normal tomato but rather a brilliant red captivating fruit.
Li Yuan attentively observed, compared with normal tomatoes, not only was it plump it also had a rosy luster which was beautiful. It appeared to have a layer like porcelain, it had a distinct luster.
The tomatoes gave Li Yuan an unfathomable feeling, all of it were exactly the same. No matter the size, shape or color, there was no difference. As if all of it came from the same carved out mold.
Although these tomatoes were beautiful, the flavor was still a question. This was an issue, he grabbed one and wiped it, after which he took a bite.
The tomatoes pulp juice burst inside Li Yuan’s mouth, the flavor was splendid and he could not prevent narrow his both of his eyes. Hurriedly he chewed and swallowed, he sighed to himself: “Delicious, too delicious!”
Dissolving the golden bead in water not only had a great effect on the tomato, but the taste is also was surprisingly good. Li Yuan can say with full confidence that he never ate such a delicious tomato before. Even though he was not an expert who could tell the distinct difference in sour and sweetness, or the content of water and other factors, but all he can think of is one thing — delicious!
Li Yuan successively ate the three tomatoes and he wished he could have continued: “The flavor of this tomato is top-notch, this means that I can give Old Liao a few to eat so he can experience such freshness.
As Li Yuan spoke, he grabbed a few plastic bags filled with tomato and hurriedly left the gate. Li Yuan lived his childhood in this neighborhood, a lot of the people around here cared for him. Most especially Zhao Qian and Old Liao, so if he had something good he immediately send them as a gift.
Looking at Li Yuan he may seem like a frivolous youth, however in reality he always thought of others in his mind. Since these tomatoes were pretty good, he naturally will share it to others.
Li Yuan walked around the vicinity with tomato bags on his hand, he gave a few to the families around for them to enjoy. After which he arrived in front of the house of Zhao Qian.
