For the next few days, Xia Ruofei lived a very leisurely life.
Every day, apart from entering the Ring-Tu space to see the growth of the succulents and appreciate the beautiful flowers of the peculiar plant by the pool, he basically had nothing else to do.
The decoration of the online store was also in the process of being perfected. Now, everything was ready, except for the products on the shelves.
Xia Ruofei considered that opening an online store required high-quality photos, so he gritted his teeth and went to a digital store in the Sanshan Plaza to buy a DSLR camera. Although it was only an entry-level one, it still cost him more than 10,000 yuan.
Soon, only less than half of the 250,000 yuan he earned from selling the Ice Lantern Gyokuro was left.
Due to the magical effects of the space and the difference in the flow of time, the vegetables Xia Ruofei planted before grew very quickly. For example, the mustard, which had a relatively short growth cycle, was fully ripe after three or four days of sowing, and could be picked and eaten.
It was worth mentioning that the vegetables grown in the Ring-Tu space were not only much larger than those sold outside, but also looked quite beautiful. They were green and full of vitality, and didn't even look like real vegetables, but like works of art carved from jade.
Xia Ruofei had a small induction cooker in his rented house, so he couldn't wait to pick some mustard. After leaving the Ring-Tu space, he symbolically washed it with water. The vegetables grown in the Ring-Tu space could be said to be spotless and very clean. Then, he cut it into pieces and stir-fried it.
Xia Ruofei had received professional wilderness survival training in the army, so although his cooking skills were not as good as a restaurant chef's, at least stir-frying a plate of vegetables wasn't a problem.
Soon, a plate of stir-fried mustard was freshly cooked. Except for a little vegetable oil and salt, there was no other seasoning.
The stir-fried mustard on the plate looked very fresh, and Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel hungry.
He picked up the chopsticks and put some mustard into his mouth.
Before he had time to chew, Xia Ruofei felt a fragrance hit his nose, and he couldn't help but chew in big mouthfuls.
With one bite, the sweetness and crispness of the mustard greens made every one of his taste buds cheer.
Xia Ruofei ate a few mouthfuls before he stopped.
His eyes were full of joy. He had never eaten such delicious vegetables in his life. What was certain was that the vegetables sold in the market, including the expensive organic vegetables in the supermarket, were simply worlds apart from the mustard vegetables he grew in the space.
Without a doubt, this was the magical effect of the Ring-Tu space.
"Looks like I'll be in for a treat in the future …" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he thought of the many vegetables he had planted in the space.
The vegetables in the space grew very fast, so he definitely didn't need to buy vegetables in the future. He could even take some to sell.
Compared to the growth of vegetables, the growth of succulents was much slower.
Despite the tenfold time acceleration, Xia Ruofei could only see them grow a little when he entered the space every day. The slowest ones, the Flower Cage and the White Moon World, couldn't even be seen with the naked eye.
Xia Ruofei knew that the growth of succulents was slow, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Including the two adult plants, the Flower Cage and the White Moon World, Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry to reproduce.
He considered letting them grow in the Ring-Tu space for a period of time could adjust their vitality to the strongest, and maybe they would be like the Haworthia that was sold before, showing a surprising mutation.
Since he decided to take the high-quality route, Xia Ruofei also knew that he couldn't be too hasty.
The days passed by leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. A month in the outside world was ten months in the space. Taking into account the magical effect of the space, those succulents had grown in the outside world for one or two years, or even more.
During this month, Xia Ruofei wasn't idle. Every day, he would enter the Ring-Tu space to take care of those succulents. Seeing the succulents grow at an unimaginable speed in the outside world, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
As for the vegetables in the Ring-Tu space, they were harvested again and again.
The quality of these vegetables was far better than the high-quality organic vegetables sold outside.
Whether it was mustard, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., not only did they grow very fast, they could be harvested in three or four days, but their appearance was also very good.
The leafy vegetables were full of vitality, that kind of pure green even gave people a kind of unreal feeling.
The cucumbers and tomatoes were also obviously much bigger than the average ones. The cucumbers were generally as thick as an adult's arm, and the shortest length was 40 to 50 centimeters. The tomatoes were as big as a bowl, and when bitten, the juice would overflow, sweet and refreshing.
Xia Ruofei called these vegetables his "super vegetables", and this name was true to its name.
With so many vegetables, Xia Ruofei naturally couldn't finish them all by himself.
Therefore, after harvesting, he put them in baskets and placed them in the Ring-Tu space.
Because of this, Xia Ruofei accidentally discovered another function of the Ring-Tu space. After the vegetables and fruits were harvested, as long as they were stored in the Ring-Tu space, they were completely unaffected by time. A few days in the outside world was equivalent to ten days in the space, but the vegetables and fruits were still as fresh as when they were just harvested.
What was more amazing was that this function was only effective for the vegetables and fruits that had to be stored in a container.
Xia Ruofei specially left a small cabbage as an experiment, allowing it to grow in the ground. As a result, after the growing period, it quickly turned yellow, and for the next one or two days, it even directly rotted in the ground, scattered into mud and dust, and blended into the soil of the space.
With this discovery, Xia Ruofei specially went to purchase a batch of baskets, and in time, he harvested the vegetables and put them in the baskets.
After a month in the outside world and ten months in the space, the succulents generally grew a lot, especially the Flower Cage and the White Moon, which were already mature plants. They were full of vitality and looked quite lively.
The expected mutation didn't happen, but Xia Ruofei originally bought a very precious variety, so he wasn't too disappointed.
Today, he decided to take a crucial step — the first cuttings of these succulents.
In fact, many succulents could also be sown, but in order to save time, Xia Ruofei still chose the cuttings method.
Moreover, cuttings belonged to the category of asexual reproduction, so it was very good to preserve the characteristics of the previous generation of plants. For Xia Ruofei who was determined to walk the path of high-quality products, this was naturally the best choice.
As for the problem of the low survival rate of the White Moon and other succulent cuttings on some succulent forums, Xia Ruofei who had the magical Ring-Tu space didn't even consider it.
