Xichuan Tenghai Research Base Family Residence—Director Lin was accompanied by two people as they knocked on Qiao Qingyu's front door.
Qiao Qingyu had stayed in today.
She was washing tomatoes and chili peppers.
Her small vegetable garden had a short growing period, so the vegetables ripened quickly; hence, apart from the lack of meat, there was a continuous supply of vegetables every day.
Qiao Qingyu regretted not planting peanuts and soybeans.
At the very least, sunflowers would have been good too.
All three could be used to produce oil for eating.
Fortunately, the cucumbers and tomatoes were delicious—with the cucumbers being crisp and sweet, and the tomatoes a balance of sour and sweet, bursting with juicy freshness unlike the tough, thick-skinned ones she'd buy from the supermarket, not even comparable to the organic ones.
Her tomatoes could even be eaten as fruit.
