106 Fine Grade Grain Seeds
Old Madam Wang sent the villagers away and asked the boys at home to call Little Ah Yu back.
After everyone dispersed, Wang Chuanman asked softly, “Mother, our family doesn’t even have enough grain. Why are we still giving it to the villagers?”
Where was he going to find the seeds?
“If I had to count on you for everything, I’ll have long starved to death. Wait for me first. I’ll give them to you later.” As soon as Old Madam Wang finished speaking, Little Ah Yu returned.
She pulled Little Ah Yu into the house.
A few people in the family wanted to eavesdrop. Old man Wang coughed in the courtyard and stared at them. “You have nothing to do, right?”
Everyone quickly dispersed.
Before long, Wang Chuanyuan and his wife returned with the chicks and ducklings. Everyone quickly cleaned up the chicken coop.
He chased all the children out to look for grass.
Once everyone got busy, they forgot to eavesdrop.
“Ah Yu, do you think that the elf wants you to farm slowly by yourself?” Old Madam Wang asked.
Little Ah Yu quickly consulted Meatball.
At first, Meatball did not know what Old Madam Wang meant by asking this. When it reacted, it realized that it wanted to help Little Ah Yu complete her mission.
It seemed that Old Madam Wang had understood a portion of the meaning before and even knew that Ah Yu was farming because of a mission.
[You don’t have to do everything yourself. As long as you’re involved, it’s fine. For example, when they’re farming, you can water the fields or help spread the seeds. When they’re harvesting, you can be present to keep an eye on them and help with the weeds...]
These were also discovered by Meatball itself. The original mission naturally required the kid to farm by herself.
However, there were shortcuts to all the missions. Meatball had been studying it all along, so it could naturally discover this loophole.
Little Ah Yu said to Old Madam Wang, “There’s no need. Ah Yu just needs to help water the plants and sow the seeds. When the grass grows, I just need to pull it out!”
She even asked in her heart, “Elf, is Ah Yu right?”
[Yes, Ah Yu is very good.] At least she did not subtract its words.
Old Madam Wang pondered.
Then, she asked Little Ah Yu if there were any more grain seeds. If there were, she could take them out and plant another batch.
Old Madam Wang felt that rather than using the divine water to water all the land, it was better to use this better grade grain. Perhaps the effect would not be so exaggerated.
Even if the villagers suspected something, it would not be too unbelievable.
Little Ah Yu had already taken out most of the grain seeds before. Now, there were more seeds of vegetables and flowers in the space, including the soybeans and peas from before. A large area had already been planted and many seeds had grown.
Hearing that Grandma wanted it, Little Ah Yu simply threw all the things she had put away into the room.
Old Madam Wang was expressionless. She looked at the house filled with soybean vines and pea vines and felt that she had done too little psychological preparation.
Moreover, she saw Ah Yu reach into her pocket and place her hand on the ground.
Little Ah Yu even raised her head to seek praise. “Grandma, look. I took it from my pocket!”
Old Madam Wang: “...”
Your pocket can’t even hold a single soybean vine.
Her education path had a long way to go.
“Ah Yu did very well, but you still have to continue working hard. I’ll tell you more later. Go out and play first. Call your grandpa in too.”
After receiving the praise, Little Ah Yu was overjoyed. After running out to inform Old man Wang, she happily continued to look for Qin Huai.
Old man Wang walked into the house and almost had nowhere to put his feet when he saw the vines.
“...Did Ah Yu take these out?” Old man Wang swallowed his saliva.
He felt that he was too old. If he was frightened like this a few more times, he would probably die.
Old Madam Wang said, “Don’t worry about that. Hurry up and peel these beans. I’ll get Fourth Brother to send them to those villagers one by one later.”
Only the villagers who chose the 30-70 split could receive the grain seeds they gave. Although there were only about 10 families, it was quite a lot to give each family a few catties.
She could not let her sons and daughters-in-law know too much about this. So the old couple could only do it themselves.
After working for a while, Old Madam Wang heard Liu Shi talking outside and thought that this daughter-in-law of hers knew something.
Then, she remembered that she had just had a miscarriage. It was a little taxing to do this, so she decided to forget it.
At most, she would be busy for a while.
Most of the people in the village had gone up the mountain now. They had all gone to find Doctor Hu and asked him about the truffles.
Seeing that Old Madam Wang was sharing so generously, Doctor Hu naturally did not hesitate. He directly told everyone what the situation was and where the truffles would grow.
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads. “This condition is too difficult. Little Ah Yu can actually find it. She’s indeed a blessed child.”
There were also villagers who said, “Now that I think about it, that year, I also dug up some things that looked like sheep dung. I thought that some naughty child had deliberately buried them. Sigh, if I had known that they were so valuable, I would have picked them up!”
“Everyone usually sees it, but they never think that it’s something valuable.”
However, these words also reminded the villagers that although this thing was very rare, it was very likely to be found in the mountains behind their village.
Everyone entered the mountain in a mighty manner. Because there were many people, they were not afraid of the wild beasts. Instead, they entered deeper.
Everyone specially went to look under the pine trees. It was a coincidence that some villagers really found a nest. As it was found by a few people at the same time, they also agreed to split it equally.
There were also villagers who found something else instead of truffles. No one recognized it but no longer threw it away casually. Instead, they brought it back for Doctor Hu to see.
When Doctor Hu saw this, he smiled and said, “This is also a herb called pine mushroom. As for the price, it’s much less than truffles, but it’s still worth a lot. This thing needs to grow in the ground for many years, and it’s usually not dug out at this time. Now that the quality is not good, I wonder if they’ll buy it if I take it to the pharmacy.”
...
The villagers were instantly happy. They suddenly felt that digging for herbs was much more profitable than farming.
Doctor Hu broke their fantasy. “A place that has truffles won’t grow more for several years. Not only that, but there will also be no vegetation there. If you want to look for it, you’ll probably have to go deeper into the mountains. But that’ll be very dangerous!”
The villagers immediately felt as if cold water had been poured on them.
They searched for most of the day and only returned reluctantly when the sky was completely dark. They heard that the Wang Family had already sent the grain seeds to the villagers who chose the 30-70 split, but they only brushed it aside.
On the second day, the villagers who received the grain seeds took a look and realized that be it the soybeans or the peas, the quality was much better.
“The Wang Family is really honest. They actually bought such good grain seeds! The 30-70 split is not a loss!”
“That’s right. They’re so kind. We can’t spoil the fields for them. Let’s plant them well. Perhaps if we farm well this year, our family will be full.”
The villagers silently made up their minds. They could do whatever they wanted with their own land, but they had to treat Old man Wang’s land well.
They could not let this kindness down.
In order to complete her farming mission, Little Ah Yu also began to become active in the 20 mu of land.
Old Madam Wang found her a mission to water the place where she was composting.
...
As long as she watered it, it meant that she had participated in this work. Otherwise, if she had to let Little Ah Yu toss the seeds on the 20 mu of land, she would be exhausted.
[That’s great. As long as this batch of grain is harvested, your mission will be completed!]
[At that time, the spatial pocket can be upgraded.]
