Fused with the characteristic of rapid growth, this lettuce would grow leaves again after the outer leaves were removed.

Unless a year of growth completely depleted this trait.

However, regarding the specific high-quality characteristics of this lettuce, it would have to wait until it matured.

Only then could it be observed.

Ye Heng calmly placed the seeds he had in the replication furnace to replicate.

After replicating 100,000 seeds, he planted them in the system’s furnace.

If he planted them in the system’s furnace, what would have taken a month to grow could now be shortened to a day and a half.

This way, after a day and a half, the lettuce leaves could be picked and tasted.

In a day, the lettuce seeds in the system’s furnace had already sprouted.

Not to mention, it had already reached the height of a human’s calf.

Ye Heng provided instructions for the system’s furnace to simulate the environment in the house and the balcony.

Some people who were familiar with the mulberry could see that this super lettuce looked very much like a mulberry.

Only one day had passed, and this super lettuce had already grown to the height of a child’s leg.

The leaves that grew out of it were not mulberry leaves.

They were ripe, succulent and tender lettuce leaves.

He plucked a few lettuce leaves in one go, and when he touched them, they felt the same as normal lettuce.

But when he tasted a super lettuce leaf, he felt that it was extremely fragrant and crisp. The plant juice contained within it was refreshing.

He had plucked away a super lettuce leaf and after two hours, it started growing again.

Of course, the plants that were in the system space grew ten times faster than the outside world.

In other words, under normal time conditions, another leaf could grow within a day.

Graded super lettuce seeds were much more delicious than ordinary lettuce.

“Has Boss Ye developed the new product already?”

Zhao Yao, who suddenly walked in, saw Ye Heng eating raw vegetables.

“Not bad, Zhao Yao, you’re here too. Just in time to check out the taste and see whether it’s delicious.”

Ye Heng turned around and transferred the lettuce pot out of the space.

“Ye Heng, wait, this is super lettuce.”

When she saw that the lettuce looked like the mulberry tree, Zhao Yao was stunned. She didn’t expect that there would be lettuce growing on the tree.

“That’s right. It’s a new product that our company has just developed. Currently, it’s temporarily named super lettuce,” Ye Heng nodded and smiled.

“Let me have a taste.”

“Wow, why is it so delicious? The fragrance assails my nose. It’s a completely natural, pollution-free green vegetable!”

“It’s not bad. If it’s used in vegetable salads, it would be great. Many girls would be willing to buy it.”

Zhao Yao, who had just eaten a mouthful of super lettuce, was shocked.

“That’s right. Look at these super lettuce leaves. After they are picked, they only need one day to grow again. If you grow super lettuce, you can pick at least eight to ten leaves a day. It’s about one to two catties.”

“Zhao Yao, what do you think now? When I promote it in the market, what price would be appropriate?” Ye Heng asked.

“It’s very powerful.”

After Zhao Yao heard this, she looked at Ye Heng with admiration.

She looked at the super lettuce and couldn’t wait to take it home to raise.

It was so convenient to plant, and the taste was very good. Not to mention, it was extremely convenient to pick.

This super lettuce looked like a mulberry.

Not only that, but it also took up space.

However, for people like Zhao Yao who had always paid attention to indoor and outdoor greening, she didn’t think it was a problem at all.

“If you can really provide so much lettuce in a day, and you can steadily provide it for an entire year, I think such a vegetable can be sold for 500 yuan each,” Zhao Yao said with a smile.

“For the average residents, this price is still a little expensive.”

“But the product we developed is to benefit the Chinese people, so we don’t need to set the price too high.”

“How about this? We’ll set the price at 100 yuan for now. It’ll be slightly more expensive than the tomatoes.”

“You have to know that we still have to develop new products in the future. Now that the price has increased, it won’t be easy to promote subsequent products in the future,” Ye Heng said.

This super lettuce was a graded seed. In addition, its taste was much more delicious than the top-tier Tomato No. 1 that had been developed previously.

Not to mention its market position, it also met the needs of the city ladies for weight loss and had enough nutritional value. Therefore, if the price was set to 100 yuan, it was not that expensive.

“Okay, are we going to put this product on our online store via the e-commerce platform now?” Zhao Yao asked with some doubt.

As early as half a month ago, Zhao Yao had left her city and returned to be Ye Heng’s assistant.

No matter what her parents said, they could not stop her. She was determined to leave.

“Don’t be anxious. Right now, we still need to send some pictures to the public platforms to attract the traffic flow. Also, don’t forget to find your best friend and do some promotions in her live broadcast room. It’s time to give her the advertising fee for this month.”

“After all, we need to warm up in the early stages so that we can prepare the goods later,” Ye Heng said with a smile.

The seeds that he put in the space would need at least a few days to germinate and grow.

It was also a good time to give it some time.

“Ye Heng, you’re right. I think that with these two new products, our company’s trading volume can double, or even reach hundreds of millions.”

Zhao Yao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

She was very clear that Ye Heng’s company had only just started, yet he was already able to make so much profit from its development.

How powerful would Ye Heng’s company be in the future, it was something that she did not dare to imagine.

There were nearly eight billion people in the world. These two ordinary plants could be sold for such a powerful price in China.

If they were marketed to the world, they would be like a treasure trove.

Even if they excluded the labour costs, planting costs, packaging costs and logistics costs, they would still get back half of their profits.

In other words, if they sold for 100 yuan, they could earn at least 50 yuan.

With that, their profits would be in the tens of billions.

But they also need to be careful that it may affect some specialized vegetable traders.

Although they may not go bankrupt, they can only supply vegetables to people in other countries..
