Chapter 77: Chapter 77 A Small Profit
Shutong Nian had just the tomato seeds in hand, just what she needed as the main ingredient for tomato sauce.
Next, she would need some white sugar, which she didn’t have at the moment, but she decided to plant the tomatoes first, better safe than sorry.
Maybe by the next time, she would have the ingredients for white sugar.
When the tomatoes ripened, if she still didn’t have white sugar, she would either buy some raw materials from the system or the Star Network, or buy some sugarcane and make it herself.
Because there was brown sugar available on the Star Network, though she heard the taste was so-so, even though she hadn’t tried it.
After making her decision, Shutong Nian went to the cleared land and marked out an area to plant the tomatoes.
“Little Eight, how much do tomato seedlings cost?”
She had gotten them as a reward previously, so she hadn’t needed to buy them.
“Host, for one acre, you need about 1,000 tomato seedlings, which can save you the time it would take to raise them from seeds.”
“Buy them! A thousand seedlings, how much?”
“Three Star Coins per tomato seedling!”
Shutong Nian directly purchased the tomato seedlings and also bought some accelerated fertilizer; she spent the whole night digging holes, planting seedlings, and fertilizing.
She worked on one acre of land until the sun set and it got completely dark, working until Ha Ha gave up on turning the soil and instead helped Shutong Nian plant the tomatoes.
Because Shutong Nian had said they could eat only after planting was done.
The human and the wolf worked until nearly ten at night.
“Let’s go back for dinner.” Shutong Nian rubbed her back, which ached even though she had gone through cultivation.
As soon as Ha Ha heard ‘dinner,’ it burst forth with a fresh wave of energy, sprinting toward the stream to wash its hands and face, and then changed into a new set of clothes.
After Shutong Nian washed up and sat at the table waiting for dinner.
Fu Yunhe was the cook for the day.
After he finished livestreaming the sale of the french fries, Shutong Nian gave him four chickens and asked him to cook with Rubble.
Shutong Nian figured such tasks would be Fu Yunhe’s from now on.
She loved to eat but didn’t quite enjoy cooking.
Ha Ha and Shutong Nian were both waiting for Fu Yunhe to serve the dishes and the rice.
Exhausted but having already eaten a bit, Fu Yunhe managed to regain some energy with the help of potatoes.
He lifted the lid off the pot, brought out the rice, and served the chicken and potatoes.
“It smells good.” Shutong Nian picked up a piece of potato first and tasted it.
Beside her, Fu Yunhe was a bit nervous, like the first time he received an award in the military.
“Very good, from now on, you’re in charge of cooking.”
His ‘very good’ made Fu Yunhe smile slightly, satisfied, he said, “Okay.”
He had a feeling this would happen, which is why he always watched and learned carefully whenever Shutong Nian cooked.
As for Ha Ha next to them, there was no need to ask; the creature had not put down its bowl since the food was served.
“How did the livestream go today?” Shutong Nian asked Fu Yunhe.
Holding a warm cup of water, Fu Yunhe calmly placed it on the table.
“Pretty average. Only a few thousand people came to watch. Sold all 200 packs of fine salt and 100 portions of french fries, a total of 40,000 Star Coins.”
“Tomorrow might be better.”
Fu Yunhe gave Shutong Nian an almost show-off look, questioning with an air of disbelief, “What’s the matter?”
Shutong Nian closed her mouth, asking incredulously, “All sold? 40,000 Star Coins?”
“Mmhmm, it’s all in your account; have a look.”
Shutong Nian put down her chopsticks and opened her account to check.
Money! Finally, she saw money coming back!
