All the seedlings at Starry Sky Kindergarten started from seeds.
They had sold a batch earlier at the entrance of the vegetable garden.
Who would have thought that tens of thousands of pots would disappear in an instant, even blocking the road.
Not only did the traffic police come, but also the local police station, asking why such a large-scale event wasn't reported.
The staff at Starry Sky were also bewildered, not expecting so many people to come.
They apologized profusely and didn't dare to do it again.
Previously, there were mostly leafy green vegetable seedlings.
Now, cucumber, pepper, and tomato seedlings had also sprouted. Looking at the lush little seedlings, ah, Liu Chef was somewhat troubled.
Liu Chef placed the utmost importance on the vegetable garden.
He hadn't encountered such a situation in all these years.
The seeds would sprout quickly as soon as they were buried and watered.
The scene looked truly delightful, but even this large area wasn't enough for planting.
Moreover, after what happened before, they didn't dare to sell seedlings now.
However, the kindergarten parents and previous buyers kept asking about repurchasing in the comment section.
Those who had tasted their leafy greens knew how truly delicious they were.
Vegetables bought elsewhere just couldn't match this flavor. Even using these greens in a bowl of noodles would enhance it significantly.
But as Old Master Xu had said, vegetables grown in pots really weren't enough to eat.
Picking just one leaf would make you feel regretful for half a day. Rather than that, it was better to have several more pots.
Everyone wanted to buy seedlings and flocked to Teacher Tang and Doctor Lu's accounts. They didn't dare to answer much on this topic.
Liu Chef loved to respond, but being older, he didn't go online much.
Old Master Xu's son made a special trip to the vegetable garden.
He happened to catch Liu Chef there, sighing about the abundance of seedlings.
Just then, a man came in, and Liu Chef said, "You can't come in here."
Originally, there was a security guard, but he had taken leave due to family matters.
They were supposed to lock the door, but since Liu Chef had come in, the outer gate wasn't locked.
As soon as Old Master Xu's son entered, he saw the neat rows of fresh seedlings arranged together.
He was truly amazed and said to Liu Chef, "Liu Chef?"
His wife was a devoted fan of Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Consequently, he had become familiar with the older staff at the kindergarten.
"I bought 10 pots of vegetables from you last time, ah, it's really not enough to eat. Can I buy a few more? My parents really like these vegetables."
Previously, there were only various leafy greens here.
Such as cilantro, lettuce, and bok choy.
But now he saw peppers, eggplants, and string beans.
Old Master Xu's son was no longer satisfied with just leafy greens.
Liu Chef was just worrying about having too many vegetables when he suddenly saw him and asked, "How many do you want?"
Old Master Xu's son immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this: "About half a small garden's worth."
"Eggplant, string beans, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, let's have some of each. How about 10 pots of each?"
Liu Chef, hearing this, prepared 60 pots for him: "Can you transport all of that?"
Old Master Xu's son said, "No problem, I'll go find a tricycle."
This was truly an unexpected delight.
It was also fortunate that Liu Chef was there to be so accommodating.
So he went to the accountant to pay, hired a tricycle, and directly transported these vegetables to the old man's house.
The old man had indeed been somewhat interested in vegetables before.
But he hadn't finished dealing with his flowers yet, and now the vegetables had arrived.
Forced to deal with the flowers, he complained a bit: "Why did you do this so quickly?"
Old Master Xu's son also had his own intentions. If the previous leafy greens were so delicious, wouldn't tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, string beans, and eggplants be even better?
If the old lady really started growing these, they wouldn't need to buy vegetables in the future.
So he said to Old Master Xu, "Why don't you send these flowers to the flower market to sell? The flowers I've seen aren't as good as yours!"
This way, they could also earn some money.
The father and son busied themselves for a full two days.
They were so secretive that even his wife didn't know what he was doing every day.
When it was over, Old Master Xu's son happily said to his wife, "Guess what I've been up to these past few days?"
His wife said, "I can't guess."
So Old Master Xu's son told his wife about accidentally meeting Liu Chef at Starry Sky Kindergarten and buying a bunch of vegetables.
His wife immediately got excited when she heard this: "There are other vegetables too?"
She also wanted to buy some. She wanted eggplants and string beans too.
Old Master Xu's son said, "No way, those things can't be grown in flowerpots. Once mom and dad's harvest comes in, we'll have enough for both eating and taking home."
"So that was your plan."
His wife suddenly understood. How should she put it, her husband really knew how to think ahead.
Otherwise, as a daughter-in-law, even if she had thought of it, she couldn't have said it out loud.
Afterwards, she checked Starry Sky's account again, but there was no mention of selling vegetables a second time.
She saw that everyone in the comments section wanted to buy these vegetables again.
Suddenly, it felt like she was carrying a huge secret.
His wife simply couldn't contain herself, so she secretly posted online saying, "Guess what happened to me!" and told the story of opening a mystery box at Starry Sky's vegetable garden.
She went to watch some TV series in the afternoon, and when she came back to check her messages, there were 99+ notifications.
For a moment, she thought she was being cyberbullied.
But when she opened them, many people were asking, "Where did you buy this?"
"Can we still buy it if we go now?"
Some of the more proactive ones had already set out.
Some even shared pictures, showing off what they had bought.
Everyone realized that Starry Sky was still keeping this hidden.
People had already managed to buy some, so how could others resist? Thus, a large group of people prepared to set out.
Shen Wei was monitoring public opinion on this side.
Seeing another large group of people coming, she immediately asked Liu Chef what had happened.
Liu Chef was also a bit dumbfounded: "I just sold a few pots of vegetables!"
They hadn't intended to create such a big commotion.
But learning from their previous experience, they immediately reported the activity to the local police station.
Then they quickly sent some idle staff over to maintain order.
Those who came early could still choose what they wanted.
Those who came late basically had to take whatever was available.
In an instant, people were scrambling to queue up just to spend money.
Many people just stuffed money into Liu Chef's hands, grabbed a few pots of vegetables, and quickly left.
Concerned that more and more people would arrive soon, Liu Chef and the others began digging frantically.
They didn't even take a break. Thankfully, this event had been reported in time, otherwise they would have been reprimanded.
Liu Chef was experiencing a mix of pain and joy. Indeed, their vegetable garden had grown exceptionally well, which was evident to everyone. Liu Chef proudly raised his chin!
They had an abundance of vegetables on their side.
From noon until afternoon, they had only sold half of their produce.
But all the staff at Starry Sky Kindergarten were already exhausted.
It was incredibly tiring. Liu Chef saw that there wasn't much left. They could probably sell it all in one more round.
There was no rush for these remaining vegetables. In the future, they would pack them in advance. This way, people could take them and go, saving the effort of digging and packing on the spot, which was too labor-intensive.
