Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 228 Li Yuan

After discovering this, Li Yuanke was in an uproar. Good heavens, how delicious must it be to make these people go to such lengths?

Fortunately, this shop hasn't been discovered many times yet, or rather, those who have discovered it wouldn't choose to buy alfalfa, so he finally managed to get a share.

He thought he'd just buy one to try, and if it wasn't good, he could give it to a friend who has a pet, since pets can eat it too.

After making up his mind, he placed the order promptly. When it arrived, he blanched it in hot water, added some seasonings, stirred it well, and then tried a bite.

This bite was truly amazing; it really lived up to its name and tasted incredibly delicious.

He ate faster and faster, forgetting about the rice that was served on the side. He ate half of it in big mouthfuls before remembering that he had also bought rice and other dishes.

He picked up a bowl of rice, mixed the alfalfa with it, and ate it. It tasted quite delicious, but he didn't feel like eating the other dishes.

He finished all the remaining food with satisfaction, and only then did he realize that he hadn't filmed a video.

"Never mind, let's do it next time. This time, let's leave it at that."

He said that, but still posted the photo in his friends' group chat.

"Look, I've found a delicious restaurant."

Other people in the group also started to speak.

"What did you eat this time? It looks delicious."

Is it some kind of cold vegetable salad?

"It looks pretty delicious, otherwise Li Yuan wouldn't have sent over so little food."

Everyone was talking at once.

Li Yuan felt that everyone was expressing his feelings, so he quickly explained it to everyone.

"This is a shop recommended by a blogger who eats wild vegetables. It sells alfalfa. I just blanched it and made a cold salad, and it was quite delicious. It feels completely different from the bitter wild vegetables I used to eat."

"So I'm letting you guys know so we can all buy together next time. This one is still relatively easy to grab, but I've never managed to get any of their other dishes."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to get curious. You've even started eating wild vegetables."

"I have eaten wild vegetables, but they are just some common ones, and I don't like the taste; they are usually bitter."

“I also think it doesn’t taste good. And I remember my grandfather used to feed alfalfa to his cattle. I didn’t know that it could be eaten by humans.”

"It seems that they are indeed edible. I remember reading in science popularizations that many wild vegetables are actually nutritious and edible. We usually treat them as weeds."

"Okay, okay, I'm slightly interested."

Seeing that some of his friends in the group were still not very interested, Li Yuan felt that this couldn't continue, so he quickly typed a message.

"Everyone must go and buy it! To be honest, this tastes even better than any stir-fried vegetables we usually eat. It has a very unique flavor."

"And even if you don't like it, please buy me one, because it's a limited edition. I'll use it to make a video later. Oh, right, I think it's said that animals can eat it too, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and it seems that cats and dogs also like it. I remember you guys have cats and dogs, right? You can give them some to eat."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I'm interested. I might as well give it a try."

After explaining, Li Yuan finished eating the remaining alfalfa. Due to the purchase limit, he could only buy a small amount this time, so he couldn't eat it for long.

He originally planned to buy more after he finished eating, and the items looked fine, but when he checked again, he found that the store was sold out.

He reluctantly thought he would wait a few more days, but he never received his order. Meanwhile, many other people were also rushing to buy the product, and he wondered if they had received some kind of inside information to do so. So, he eventually got to know them and joined the group urging customer service.

He also wanted to urge the customer service staff to hurry up and not just stand still; they needed to load the goods quickly.

Unfortunately, this company's customer service is quite laid-back, which seems different from other merchants on the platform. Customer service replies are very slow, or it's just AI customer service, and it's difficult to get a human representative online. I wonder why they haven't deducted any money from my account?

Li Yuan was completely baffled, but the wait made him miss the taste of alfalfa more and more, and he often talked about it with his friends.

His friends were tired of hearing him talk about it, but thankfully the merchants finally heard their pleas and agreed to start selling today.

Because he had given advance notice, Li Yuan simply called his friends and asked them to buy it for him.

Friends gathered together happily, intently focused on their phones as they snapped up bargains.

Fortunately, there were more portions this time, and most people managed to grab some, with some even receiving unexpected surprises.

Qi Siyuan said, "I think I pressed the wrong button and ended up in the vegetables section, ordering a bok choy instead."

"Oh, why did you click on the bok choy? Weren't you going to steal the alfalfa?"

Qi Siyuan was also quite helpless, "I don't know what happened either, I probably just clicked the wrong thing in my haste."

"Alright alright"

But contrary to his frustration, Li Yuan was quite happy. "That's great, Da Qi. Since you're so amazing, you even managed to snag some bok choy. Let me tell you, since I started following this shop, I've basically never managed to get any other vegetables or fruits besides alfalfa."

After eating alfalfa, Li Yuan thought that if alfalfa was so delicious, the other vegetables and fruits in the store must taste just as good. He thought he should buy some to try, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get any at all.

He tried to buy it several times but failed. Every time Xia Shiyu put it up for sale, it would sell out in seconds. He didn't know what kind of hand speed these people had.

He had already given up, thinking that eating alfalfa would be fine and delicious, but he didn't expect that his brother would actually manage to snatch it.

"Wow, I thought you'd gotten out of being single and your typing speed had dropped, but I didn't expect you still have this skill."

He joked happily.

Qi Siyuan's face darkened. "Don't joke around. When we get there, I'll try it myself and see if it's as delicious as you say."

Li Yuan said proudly, "I have to tell you this, I'm absolutely not lying to you. This tastes really good, so good that your tongues will fall off."

"Hey, come on, come on, this is such an old-fashioned description, and you even said you ate your tongue."

"Sigh, that's why I said your live-streaming isn't very good. You keep using the same few words, no wonder your follower count isn't increasing."

"I don't care about all that. I'll just focus on eating. It's perfect that Chef Li will be cooking."

His friends booed and teased him, but Li Yuan retorted, "Just you wait and see. You'll know how it tastes once the rest of the shipment arrives."
