Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Wan Ping An repeated.

The tomatoes he grows are so high that it's no exaggeration to say they're for imperial tribute; their nutrition, appearance, and taste far surpass those of ordinary tomatoes.

"Hahaha, Xu Damao, are you dumbfounded?"

"A tomato for five cents? Wan Ping'an is ripping you off. Pork is only six cents a pound."

"The price of one tomato is almost enough to buy a pound of pork."

Sha Zhu laughed heartily.

"Only a fool would buy a tomato that costs five cents. I would never buy one."

Jia Zhangshi also jumped out.

Everyone nodded.

No matter how good tomatoes are, they are still vegetables. How can they compare to meat?

Five cents each, that's an outrageous price.

If you were to buy Chinese cabbage, you could buy a small cartload.

"What's the noise?"

"It's only fifty cents each, isn't it?"

"Ping An, buy me one!"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth.

He said he'd buy it, even if he got ripped off, he still had to buy one!

"Trust me, you will definitely not regret it."

Wan Ping'an accepted the money.

He turned and went inside, quickly taking out a tomato.

It's about the same size as a regular tomato.

The difference between tomatoes grown in Wangping and ordinary tomatoes lies not in quantity, but in quality.

Xu Damao held the tomato, feeling a little regretful.

Tomatoes that cost 50 cents each are too expensive!

"Wow, these tomatoes look so good and smell so good! They're only 50 cents each, maybe they're a great deal!"

I got it.

Xu Damao discovered that it was very different from ordinary tomatoes.

He took a bite right there and then.

My eyes lit up immediately.

"good to eat!"

"too delicious!"

“Ping An, you’re selling these tomatoes for 50 cents each. That’s not too high, it’s too low. If you sold them for a dollar each, I bet someone would buy them.”

Xu Damao gave a thumbs up.

He no longer thinks it's expensive; on the contrary, he thinks it's worth it.

Not only does it taste good, but after eating it, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I also feel comfortable all over.

"Who are you kidding?"

Sha Zhu pursed his lips.

"You're saying I'm lying to you?"

"I wouldn't bother lying to you. If you don't believe me, just buy one."

Xu Damao pursed his lips, devoured a tomato in a few bites, and even licked the soup off his hands, not wanting to waste a single drop.

"You didn't go out. Haven't you ever eaten tomatoes before?"

Silly Pillar's sarcasm.

"Alright, stop talking!"

"If Wan Ping'an isn't united, we won't force it!"

When Yi Zhonghai took him away, he also accused Wan Ping'an of being uncooperative.

A cold glint flashed in Wan Ping'an's eyes.

Yi Zhonghai, we'll see!

With Yi Zhonghai gone, there was no hope of getting the tomatoes, and everyone dispersed.

Ping An started preparing dinner.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs.

Heat oil in a wok!

The aroma of tomatoes, mixed with the fragrance of eggs, permeated the entire courtyard.

The front yard.

He Daqing had just returned home.

"It smells like scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"It must be Wan Ping'an. Only his superb cooking skills could produce such a fragrance."

"No, it's not just the cooking skills that are excellent, the ingredients are also top-notch. This is the first time I've ever smelled such a high-quality tomato aroma!"

He Daqing was deeply moved.

He was starting to crave it.

"Find an opportunity to ask Wan Ping'an where he bought the tomatoes?"

He Daqing also wanted Wan Ping'an's tomatoes.

He was unaware that before he returned, Yi Zhonghai, along with Sha Zhu and others, had attempted to "steal" Wan Ping'an's tomatoes, but they had failed.

backyard.

May you live in peace and safety.

After he finished making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he also made a bowl of noodles, a bowl of hot tomato soup noodles.

The richer aroma of tomatoes once again enveloped the courtyard.

"Wan Ping'an, he did it on purpose, he's getting revenge!"

The deaf old woman, as the primary victim, nearly ground her teeth to powder.

Wan Ping'an releases poison every day during mealtimes.

How will she eat in the future?

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and others were also filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't very well just rob the tomatoes, could they?

Middle Court.

Jia family.

From the moment Wan Ping'an started cooking, Jia Zhangshi kept cursing and never stopped.

"Haha, I've got a great idea!"

"The tomatoes were grown by Wan Ping'an. Dongxu, you went to Wan Ping'an's six acres of land before, but he wouldn't give them to us, so we went and took them ourselves."

Madam Jia's brilliant idea was to use the word "take," because she thought stealing sounded bad, so she called it "take"!

Chapter 18: Tie Jia Dongxu up and drive him away with sticks.

"Mom, you're not going to make me steal tomatoes, are you?"

Jia Dongxu was very unwilling.

What will he do if he gets caught?

"What is stealing?"

"It's 'take,' I've told you many times, it's 'take,' haven't you remembered?"

"That little rascal Wan Ping'an had a bumper harvest of tomatoes, but he didn't share any with his neighbors. He's such a stingy person."

"If he won't give it to us, can't we just take it ourselves?"

"I'm telling you, you have to go, right now, and come back as soon as possible. Take a big bag with you, understand?"

Jia Zhangshi gave orders to Jia Dongxu.

She didn't think stealing was wrong at all; she believed that being able to steal was a skill, and she not only stole herself but also encouraged Jia Dongxu to steal as well.

"Honey, I think you shouldn't make things difficult for the child."

"It's just a tomato, isn't it?"
