He had also tried this melon, and he felt that the taste was quite different. It was a sensation that he couldn’t quite describe.
“My fruits indeed have a much better flavor compared to others,” Wang Jinhe wasn’t being modest; instead, she spoke matter-of-factly.
Using the same seeds, her produce was entirely different from what others grew.
Upon hearing Wang Jinhe’s words, Su Yu walked over and asked, “Why is that?”
“Because the nutritional value is significantly higher,” Wang Jinhe explained after some thought.
“What do you mean by ‘significantly higher’?” Su Yu squinted his eyes and inquired.
“Let me put it this way, consuming the vegetables from my garden for an extended period of time will improve one’s physical condition, especially children, as it can strengthen their bodies and make them less prone to illness,” Wang Jinhe explained directly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu was taken aback and stared at Wang Jinhe in disbelief, “Is this true?”
“Of course,” she replied. She had researched the Lingquan water, which could enhance the quality of vegetables, and it had similar effects on the human body. The most apparent effect was on herself.
After obtaining the Lingquan water, she started drinking it daily. When she woke up, her body felt exceptionally good. Since she began drinking the Lingquan water, her overall state had changed. Her physical condition had become far superior to that of an average person.
“How did you find out?” Su Yu inquired.
“I remember telling you that I used to have a very poor health, right?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu and asked.
“Yes,” Su Yu replied.
“Look at me now; do I seem like someone with poor health?” Wang Jinhe arched an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile.
Su Yu was left somewhat speechless looking at Wang Jinhe’s current state. Indeed, she did not seem like someone with poor health anymore.
“If this effect is real, it’s a good thing for us,” Su Yu said, rubbing his chin. The current challenge was how to disseminate this information.
“It doesn’t matter. Set a fixed price and sell at that price. Even if someone later discovers it, there’s no need to raise the price,” Wang Jinhe said seriously.
Su Yu couldn’t help but shake his head, amused by her lack of concern for profit.
Extending his hand to pinch Jinhe’s cheek, Su Yu looked at her. “Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
“There will be even better things,” Wang Jinhe said nonchalantly, patting Su Yu’s hand away, not overly concerned about this matter.
Su Yu was rendered speechless by her statement. So you have even better things, which means you can simply give away the not-so-good ones?
“When some fruits are ready, I’ll make wine,” Wang Jinhe said with a very serious expression.
“Fruit wine?” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe in surprise. If that were the case, they could make quite a bit of money.
“Yes, I think this wine would sell well if I can make it,” Wang Jinhe smiled and asked.
“Don’t even say that. If you can truly make it, I can turn you into a little rich woman,” Su Yu teased, rubbing Wang Jinhe’s nose, his eyes filled with affection.
“After the watermelons are harvested, I’ll also have a lot of money,” Wang Jinhe pushed away Su Yu’s hand that had been meddling and gave him a stern look. “Stop Doing that.”
Su Yu wasn’t angry; instead, he shook his head and said, “You’re quite easily satisfied. How much is it? Just a few thousand taels of silver. If you really want to buy something good, it’ll be gone in no time.”
“Several thousand taels of silver is still a lot for most people.”
For many people, this amount of silver was something they might never see in their lifetime. Wang Jinhe didn’t dare compare herself to Su Yu; she was already quite satisfied to have this much.
“But you’re not like most people,” Su Yu said, looking at Wang Jinhe seriously.
Wang Jinhe chuckled, wearing a smile on her face. “You do know how to talk.”
“When you have the fruit wine ready, I’ll send it to the capital city to sell. It’s bound to make quite a bit of money,” Su Yu said with narrowed eyes.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu, the enthusiast for wealth, and found it quite refreshing. “You already have a fair amount of money yourself. Why are you still interested in this small sum?”
“This isn’t a small sum; earning more money will make your life even better,” Su Yu replied. While he did have a lot of money now, it was still far from enough for him.
“That’s true.”
The two of them discussed their future plans, and Wang Jinhe discovered that Su Yu’s ideas were surprisingly similar to hers. Their perspectives and values seemed to align well.
“Jinhe, do you have any places you’d like to visit in the future?” Su Yu asked.
“Not at the moment,” Wang Jinhe shook her head. Her immediate goal was to make their family life better. As for traveling, she saw it as something to consider once their income stabilized.
Su Yu, seeing Wang Jinhe’s response, decided not to press further and began sharing details about the outside world and its culture.
After listening, Wang Jinhe gained new thoughts and a sense of curiosity about the world outside.
“Daddy, Xiao Bao wants to go and play,” Xiao Bao suddenly squeezed himself between them, looking up with his wide, gleaming eyes. “Daddy talked about these places, and they sound interesting. Xiao Bao wants to go.”
“Easy! When Daddy goes on an industry inspection at the end of the year, we can all go together,” Su Yu reached out and pinched Xiao Bao’s cheek. “Haven’t you played with Grandfather?”
“Grandpa and Great-Grandfather are chatting, and it’s boring,” Xiao Bao grumbled.
Wang Jinhe ruffled Xiao Bao’s hair and looked at him indulgently. “So, you came to find us instead?”
Xiao Bao nodded. “Daddy talked about those places, and they sound fun. I want to go.”
“We will definitely take you there. After all, it’s said that traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books,” Wang Jinhe explained with a smile. “It means that after reading many books, you should also travel and explore. There’s a lot of knowledge and experiences you can gain outside of books, and you can verify what you’ve learned from books.”
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe, surprised to hear someone describe the proverb “traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books” in such a way.
But what Wang Jinhe said was not wrong; sometimes, it is indeed the case.
“Can Daddy take Mommy and me with you when you go to inspect the industries outside in the future?” Xiao Bao looked at Su Yu expectantly.
Wang Jinhe looked at Xiao Bao helplessly. This little guy not only wanted to go himself but also included her in the plan.
He reached out and ruffled Xiao Bao’s hair. “Why did you include me?”
“I want you to come too. It wouldn’t be fun if it’s just Daddy and me,” Xiao Bao innocently explained. Su Yu nodded in agreement. After all, they should go as a family.
“I’ll be busy then, and I probably won’t have the time.”
Xiao Bao drooped his head, wearing a pitiful expression that gave Wang Jinhe a headache. This little guy!
