Chapter 322: Like a River
Yu Ying squatted down to examine the wheat, asking curiously. “It looks just like grass. Can we really eat it later?”
The newly sprouted wheat did indeed look like grass, so it was not strange for her to make that connection.
“You’ll see when the time comes. After it grows up, it’ll look completely different.” Su Bai explained.
He stood up and walked to the tomato area – to look at the newly sprouted tomato plants. In regards to this, the tomato leaves were quite distinctive, different from the wheat.
“This is growing slowly too…” Su Bai frowned. [Seems like this place really isn’t suitable for growing crops…]
He somewhat missed their previous location. Growing crops there has been so easy and convenient. There was always rapid growth, visible day by day.
He still remembered the lettuce seeds he had scattered there. The harvest time had been reduced by more than half compared to if it was grown on Earth. The taste of the yield was excellent too, no different from Earth’s, perhaps even sweeter.
[Maybe that’s because there is no pesticide contamination. That’s why the produce is larger and more sweet-tasting, so much so that it left a lasting impression. Especially when wrapping roasted meat with the lettuce, the taste was absolutely irresistible.] When those lettuce were harvested and transported to the Ancestral Land, the fresh ones did not last long. They were all eaten in one night.
“That does seem to be true. When we lived over there, everything grew so quickly…” Yu Ying sighed in agreement.
