  The following is the main body of the article you provided, please enjoy!

  Is it true?

  Wang Qifang couldn't believe her eyes, standing still in front of a few tomato plants with red fruit, staring carefully. If she hadn't made a mistake, this thing was clearly moved into the space after breakfast this morning, and now it's already ripe? It's only been six hours at most, how is that possible?

  Is this space having a promoting effect on plant growth? But, but isn't it growing too fast?!

  Wang Qifang put the bundle wrapped in cloth and lace into the living room of the small house, and then turned back to the vegetable garden in the small courtyard, trying to find out why the tomatoes were ripening too early.

  Why don't you try it and see if it's really ripe?

  Wang Qifang crouched in front of the tomato, carefully touching the bright red round fruit, her mind slightly turning, and she also used a little force to pick one. But, such an abnormal fruit, can it be eaten? The poisonous food that was made by people in her previous life had left a deep impression on Qifang.

  Furrowing her brow, Wang Qifang brought the tomato to her nose with a hint of suspicion and took a sniff. The intense fruity aroma was definitely different from the tomatoes that had been ripened with chemicals in her past life. Holding onto a glimmer of hope, Qifang used both hands to split the tomato in half.

  Wow, a fresh and original flavor of tomato hits you in the face, with a tender and pink interior, not only without any unripe green seeds, but also with a layer of bright red pulp inside, completely looking like it's naturally ripe.

  At this moment, the thread of doubt in her heart was also dispelled by the delicious taste. Qifang couldn't help but bring half a tomato to her mouth and take a big bite. Then, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and after another bite, the surprised expression turned into a state of intoxication - Ah, it's delicious, really delicious, sour and sweet, and when chewed carefully, you can still bite into the pulp particles, it's even more delicious than the fruit in her previous life.

  Never had she tasted such rich tomatoes, Wang Qifang was like a refugee who had been starving for three or four days, and she quickly devoured the tomato in her hand. This is not all, after finishing this one, she hurriedly picked two more, without even washing them (Certain author: Ah, I guess she forgot that there's such a thing as washing vegetables?)

  Xu Qifang: What's the point of washing, these tomatoes are produced by Space and have no pollution, no harm, and no pesticides. What is there to wash?

  The author sat on the ground, guarding a few tomato plants and eating them greedily.

  After eating four or five, Wang Qifang stroked her bulging belly and let out a satisfied sigh. "Ah, this is what tomatoes are supposed to be like! The ones I ate before were just wearing tomato skins, but were actually poisonous substances produced by chemical agents. Hehe, with this treasure space, won't I be able to eat even more fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables in the future?"

  Having tasted the sweetness, Wang Qifang's mind began to wander. She lay down randomly on the muddy ground next to the tomatoes, half-closing her eyes and fantasizing about the wonderful life ahead: First, she wanted to carefully examine every nook and cranny of the space to see if there were any other treasures; Second, since the land in the space was so magical, she wanted to cultivate all the idle land and plant various fresh vegetables and fruits; Third, that is, use these fresh, out-of-season vegetables and fruits to make money...

  In Wang Qifang's mind, a beautiful scene appeared: in the small courtyard, various vegetables were planted, and at the corner of the wall, there were clusters of fresh flowers. On the shelf under the eaves of the door was a grape rack with purple grapes hanging from it. Around the small courtyard were all sorts of fruit trees, and far away on the land, there were large fields of wheat, cotton, and rice...

  Uh, Wang Qifang wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. She had been deeply attracted to the beautiful life she had painted for herself, and it seemed that as soon as she opened her eyes, there would be a scene of a courtyard full of fragrant melons and fresh flowers.

  Of course, now opening her eyes, the small courtyard was still empty, except for the few tomato plants beside her, the only other plant was the rose that had been moved in with the tomatoes. Wait, a rose?

  Wang Qifang's excited eyes swept over the rose bush in the corner, and she was taken aback for a moment. Just now, she had always felt that something was not quite right, but only after seeing this flower did she suddenly react. Compared to the rapidly maturing tomatoes, the growth of the rose bush was extremely normal. But the more normal it was, the more abnormal it seemed.

  They were transplanted together, now the tomatoes are all in bloom and have fruit, but this rose bush still looks like it did when it was first brought in this morning, with only a few buds, not a single one is fully open.

  Isn't it the effect of space, otherwise how can the same plants have two completely different manifestations?

  Not because of space, what's going on with these delicious and early ripe tomatoes?!

  Wang Qifang stood hesitantly between the two plants, looking east and west, entangled for half a day, still unaware of the reason.

  Wait, Wang Qifang's gaze swept over the water bucket beside her, and she suddenly thought of something. She clearly remembered that in the morning, she first transplanted the rose flowers, and at the same time, she carried a bucket of water into the house. After transplanting the roses, she directly used the water from outside to water them; then, she went to transplant the tomatoes. After transplanting several tomato plants, the water in the bucket was almost empty, and she felt a bit tired, so she didn't want to go out to fetch more water again. She directly scooped half a bucket of water from the hot spring pool in the backyard and used the warm spring water to water the tomatoes once.

  Is it hot springs that make tomatoes ripen quickly and retain their original flavor?

  When this idea emerged, Wang Qifang suddenly remembered the pot of dead seeds in the outer bedroom and wanted to use these seeds for experimentation. Didn't Feng Dasao say that these seeds had been stored for many years and had long since rotted and died? And since the hot spring water could promote rapid plant growth, couldn't it also repair dead seeds?

  Thoughts turned into action, Wang Qifang hurriedly ran back to the outer room, picked up the black ceramic pot from the corner of the kang, lifted the lid, and took a look. Ah, yes! The dark purple seeds looked just like sesame seeds, and there was also a musty smell emanating from them. It's you, Wang Qifang thought to herself as she put the lid back on and carried the pot into the space.

  She had never planted before, and Wang Qifang didn't know the correct way to soak seeds. Her method was very rough, directly taking a bucket of water from the well, pouring the black seeds into the bucket in one go.

  Looking at the clear spring water being quickly dyed black, while the originally withered and lightless seeds began to have a crystal luster.

  Wang Qifang saw this, and her heart was delighted. She quickly poured the dirty water into the sewage pool, letting the small silver fish swallow the stolen goods. Then, she changed the fresh spring water for the seeds. After the seeds became plump and full, she took them all out and scattered them evenly on the empty ground outside the small courtyard.

  "Well, let's see the effect tomorrow, maybe it will be another surprise!"

  Wang Qifang patted the mud-stained hand, and began to think in her heart. Tomorrow at the big market, she could sell these persimmons first. In Dazhou, although tomatoes are common, it's now spring, and normal tomatoes haven't matured yet. Her persimmons were a rare commodity, so they should be able to fetch a good price.

  Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. In the evening, just as Qifang was about to have dinner, Qiangniang, who had just left, walked in with a richly dressed woman in her 40s, looking gloomy.

  The old woman saw Gui Fang sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with a simple three dishes and one soup on the table. Her originally gloomy face became even more gloomy. She looked at Wang Gui Fang's severely emaciated little face again, and tears flowed out. She stumbled and ran to Wang Gui Fang's front, grabbed her thin wrist,

  "Woe is me, Seventh Young Lady! My poor Seventh Young Lady! Don't worry, Nanny's here. From now on, no one will dare bully you!"

  Wet nurse? My wet nurse?!

  Wang Qifang held her chopsticks, foolishly staring at the excited fat woman in front of her...

  P.S: Ah, this is a supplement for yesterday's, sigh, why can't I get rid of this cold!?
