Chapter 137 Seeds
"It just can't solve the fundamental food problem of the people. The people on the border are in a state of panic, and the barbarians still launch sneak attacks from time to time. Moreover, the morale of the army is unstable after the general was injured."
Ling Yu said a few words and stopped talking. Su Qiuyi also knew that military secrets should not be disclosed, so he stopped asking.
Instead, he asked something else: "Is the land on the border barren?"
"Yes, there is a lot of sand on the land, and the wind is strong, so the yield of crops grown here is not high."
Su Qiuyi learned more about it, and while Lingyu was packing up the lunch boxes, he found Bai Xiaojing and asked her to search the situation on Baidu. The result was that the area was suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Su Qiuyi directly asked Bai Xiaojing to buy the seeds, wrote a letter to explain everything to Chu Mingxiao, and then let Lingyu take the seeds away.
In the next few days, the store continued to add new products, but the quantity was well controlled. There was neither shortage nor oversupply, forming a pattern.
Regardless of whether there were new goods or not, those people would come to the shop whenever they had time. As a result, the shop became the most popular store in a very short time.
More than ten days later, Su Qiuyi received a letter from Chu Mingxiao, saying that he had planted the potato and sweet potato seeds she gave him.
The seeds Su Qiuyi gave were few, only enough to plant about twenty acres.
However, it is enough for an experiment.
After Su Qiuyi stabilized the grocery store, he hurried back to the village.
The grape vines were already planted, and she thought, since there was quite a bit of spiritual liquid anyway, she might as well put some in the water used for watering. Not a large amount so that people wouldn't notice that they were growing too fast, and it would be enough to improve the quality.
Anyway, the trees we planted are all three years old, and they will bear fruit this year.
After planting the fruit trees, Su Qiuyi hired ten farmhands to weed, water and take care of the trees.
Therefore, Su Qiuyi only needed to put the spiritual liquid into the water that was usually prepared for watering the fruit trees.
There is a well in the yard and another well at the foot of the mountain behind. Their family no longer competes with the villagers for water from the wells.
Moreover, the well Su Qiuyi dug was a pressurized well, also known as a foreign well.
Not only is water very convenient to use, it is also clean.
As soon as I finished all this and returned to the yard, Su Xiaofang came over with Wang Xiang.
"Yiyi, it's just right that you're back. Auntie is going to town to look for you!"
"What's wrong, aunt? Did something happen to the cow?"
Because she saw that Wang Xiang was following her aunt, so it must be related to the cow.
"Yes, how did you guess it? This is what happened. Shoko came to me and said that several cows were in estrus and asked if they wanted to be bred."
Su Xiaofang felt a little embarrassed to tell this to her underage niece, but it was better than letting Wang Xiang say it.
Su Qiuyi was not embarrassed at all. He nodded and looked at Wang Xiang, "Do we need to buy a bull?"
There is no bull at home. There is a male calf among the eight calves, but he is too young and has just been weaned.
"Yes, you have to buy a bull, and then if the cow is pregnant, you can't milk it, which is also a problem. Now the amount of cow milk used is also high."
Su Qiuyi scratched his head. Although letting the cow give birth was important, milk was also a basic need.
"Wait for a moment, we'll talk later."
She thought, why not ask Bai Xiaojing to help her get a few more cows.
The eight cows that Chu Mingxiao gave can be kept for giving birth to calves.
After entering the house, she came out after a while.
Because Bai Xiaojing readily agreed to get her as many dairy cows as she wanted.
Over there, Bai Xiaojing has already taken action. Isn't it just a cow? Now Su Qiuyi is her financial sponsor. Let alone the cow, as long as it doesn't take her life, she can do anything else.
"Brother Xiangzi, go find my dad later, and go buy a bull together! I don't know anything else, so I'll leave it to you! My dad has the money, but he might be building a chicken coop in the orchard now, so we have to find someone there."
If you want to raise chickens in the orchard, you have to build a chicken coop inside so that they have shelter when it rains.
There are more than 1,600 chicks now, and they cannot be released yet because they are still a little small. So we have hired two people to feed them.
Su Qiuyi is now hi, and there are a lot of things accumulated at home, but many people use them.
She almost listened to Mo Jincheng and went to buy some servants, but her father said that the villagers had a hard time too, so if they could be hired, they should, as it would be a help.
Come to think of it, it is true, although there are some things that are unclear, such as the Su family.
But many of them are good, and her father is now the head of the village, so he must think more about the villagers.
"But, what about the biscuit business?" Su Xiaofang worried.
The biscuit business is a stable source of income. If we run out of milk, we won’t be able to do it. Now the family is still paying wages to more than ten people, and all that money is wasted.
"Don't worry, I'll get some more cows back so I can catch up. Aunt, I have to leave now and will be gone for a few days. Don't worry, just tell my dad. I'll be back with the logistics team soon."
Even if she wanted to buy a dairy cow, she would have to pretend to be away for a while, otherwise there would suddenly be a lot of cows at home, which would be hard to explain.
"Well...how about your aunt go with you? Or bring your dad along. You can't go out alone. It's not safe!"
When Su Xiaofang heard that her niece was going on a long journey alone, she immediately became anxious and firmly disagreed.
"Yeah, how can a girl like you travel far away by yourself? It's too dangerous."
Wang Xiang also spoke in agreement, with genuine worry on his face.
"It's okay. I'm a powerful divine beast now, so what am I afraid of? Brother Xiangzi, go find my dad and buy the bull back as soon as possible. I'm still waiting for you to raise a large herd of cattle for me!"
Wang Xiang was very excited.
Let alone a group of them, even the villagers in the entire village combined don’t have as many as he has now. It would definitely be very cool to have a large group of them.
He couldn't wait and hurried to find Su Laosan.
As for Su Qiuyi's matter, he was just a cow feeder and knew that his words would not take up much space, so he just ignored it.
Su Xiaofang was still trying hard to persuade her and was even ready to pack her luggage and go with her.
"Aunt, have you forgotten who it is?"
Su Qiuyi had no choice but to bring up that person.
"That's also dangerous. I can only feel at ease if my aunt follows me."
Su Xiaofang still refused to give in.
"Aunt, what will happen to the little chicken when you go?" Su Qiuyi took out her trump card.
"It's okay, there's still your Third Aunt!"
The third aunt she was talking about was Yang Dacheng's wife.
In Su Xiaofang's eyes, only her third brother's wife can be trusted. As for her second brother's wife, she has ulterior motives and is always trying to take advantage of others when she is asked to do hard labor. She cannot be trusted.
"But what if he dies again? Can Third Aunt make it?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Can't you hope for something good, kid?"
"Aunt, don't worry! I will be fine. You have to give me a chance to grow! I can't hide behind you all the time, right?"
As she spoke, Su Qiuyi took her aunt and walked away, all the way to the backyard where she usually practiced martial arts, and took out her small and exquisite bow and arrow, pulled the tip of her tongue, and shot out three arrows before Su Xiaofang could react. The arrows pierced through her heart, hit the wall at the back, and penetrated deeply into the wall.
"Aunt, are you still worried about me?"
