Chapter 105 High-Quality Grain Seeds

After sending the villagers away, Old Mrs. Wang asked her son to call Xiao Ayu back.

After everyone had left, Wang Chuanman asked in a low voice, "Mother, we don't even have enough grain seeds left at home, why are we still distributing them to the villagers?"

Where is he supposed to find one?

"I'm counting on you for everything. Your old mother would have starved to death long ago. Just wait here, I'll give it to you in a bit." Little Ayu returned just as Old Mrs. Wang finished speaking.

She pulled Xiao Ayu into the house.

Several family members wanted to eavesdrop, but Old Wang coughed in the yard and stared at them: "Nothing better to do, huh?"

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Not long after, Wang Chuanyuan and his wife returned, bringing chicks and ducklings. Everyone quickly busied themselves cleaning up the chicken coop.

They sent all the children out to find grass.

Once everyone got busy, they forgot about eavesdropping.

"Ayu, you said that the elf wants you to farm, and you have to farm slowly and carefully?" Grandma Wang asked.

Little Ayu quickly went to ask Tuanzi.

At first, Tuanzi didn't understand what Grandma Wang meant by asking that question. After realizing it, it understood that it wanted to help Xiao Ayu complete her task.

It seems that Grandma Wang had understood part of the meaning beforehand and knew that Ayu had a farming task.

You don't need to do everything yourself; just participating is enough. For example, when they're planting, you can water the crops or help sow seeds; during harvest, you can be there to oversee the process; and you can help with weeding regularly...

These were also things that Tuanzi researched herself. The original task, of course, was for Zaizi to plant them herself, one by one.

However, there are shortcuts to all task judgments, and Tuanzi, who has been researching this, naturally discovered this loophole.

Little Ayu said to Grandma Wang, "No need, Ayu just needs to help water the plants, sow the seeds, and pull the weeds when they grow, that's all!"

She was still asking herself, "Elf, is what Ayu said right?"

【Yes, Ayu is great.】At least we didn't have to subtract anything from her.

Grandma Wang seemed to be deep in thought.

Then he asked Xiao Ayu if there were any more grain seeds, and if so, to plant another kind.

Grandma Wang felt that instead of using fertilizer made from that magical water on all the land, it would be better to use this better grain variety, and perhaps it wouldn't be so exaggerated.

Even if the villagers have suspicions, they won't be too far-fetched.

Xiao Ayu has already taken out most of the grain seeds. Now the space is mostly filled with vegetable and flower seeds, including the soybeans and peas from before, which have been planted in large patches and have sprouted a lot of seeds.

Upon hearing that her grandmother wanted it, Xiao Ayu simply threw all the things she had put away into the room.

Grandma Wang looked expressionlessly at the piles of soybean and pea vines filling the room, realizing she hadn't prepared herself mentally enough.

Moreover, she saw Xiao Ayu put her hand into her pocket and then pretend to put it on the ground.

Little Ayu tilted her head back, seeking praise: "Grandma, look, Ayu took them all from her pocket!"

Grandma Wang: "..."

Your little pocket can't even hold a single soybean vine.

Education is a long and arduous task.

“Ayu did a great job, but you still need to keep working hard. Grandma will talk to you later. You can go out and play first, and call your grandpa in while you’re at it.”

Little Ayu was overjoyed to receive the praise. She ran out to inform Old Wang, and then happily continued her search for Qin Huai.

Old Wang walked into the house and saw the vines covering the entire room; he almost had nowhere to step. "...Did Ayu bring all of these out?" Old Wang swallowed hard.

He felt he was getting old, and if he was scared like that a few more times, he probably would just kick the bucket.

Grandma Wang: "Don't worry about that. Hurry up and shell all these beans. Later, I'll have Lao Si deliver them to the villagers door to door."

Only the villagers who share the land can receive the seeds they provide. Although there are only a dozen or so households, each household receives a few kilograms, which is quite a lot.

This matter cannot be known too much to the sons and daughters-in-law; the elderly couple must handle it themselves.

After a short while, Old Mrs. Wang heard Liu's voice outside and realized that her daughter-in-law was also aware of the situation.

Then she remembered that she had recently miscarried, and doing this would be hard on her back, so she decided against it.

At worst, I'll just be busy for a little longer.

Most of the villagers have now gone up the mountain to find Doctor Hu and ask him about truffles.

Seeing that Grandma Wang was so generous in sharing, Dr. Hu naturally didn't hesitate and directly told everyone under what conditions and where truffles grow.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads: "These conditions are too difficult. Little Ayu is truly a lucky child to have found one."

Some villagers also said, "So, I also dug up sheep droppings that year. I thought some naughty kid had buried them on purpose. Oh dear, if I had known they were so valuable, I should have picked them up!"

"People usually see them but never think they're 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.

The group marched into the mountains in a large group. Because of the large number of people, they were not afraid of wild animals and went even deeper into the mountains.

Everyone went to look under the pine tree, and coincidentally, some villagers actually found a nest. Since several people found it at the same time, they agreed to share it equally.

Some villagers found something other than truffles, something they didn't recognize. Instead of throwing it away, they took it back to Dr. Hu to examine.

Upon seeing it, Dr. Hu smiled and said, "This is also a medicinal herb called matsutake. The price is much lower than truffles, but it's still quite valuable. This stuff takes many years to grow on the ground, and it's not usually dug up at this time. If you dig it up now, the quality won't be very good. I don't know if pharmacies will accept it."

The villagers were overjoyed, suddenly realizing that digging for medicinal herbs was much more profitable than farming.

Dr. Hu shattered their illusions: "A place where truffles once grew won't grow again for several years. Not only that, but it will also become barren. If you want to look for them, you'll probably have to go to even deeper mountains, which is deadly!"

The villagers were immediately met with a cold shower.

They searched for most of the day, until it was completely dark, before reluctantly returning. They heard that Old Wang's family had given grain seeds to the villagers who shared the land 30/70, but they just ignored it.

The next day, when the villagers who received the seeds saw them, they found that both the soybeans and peas were of much better quality.

"The Wang family is such an honest family, buying such good grain seeds! Even at a 30/70 split, they're not losing out!"

"Yes, they are so kind, we can't just let them ruin their land. Let's farm it well, maybe if we get a good harvest this year, our families will be able to have enough to eat."

The villagers silently made up their minds: they could be perfunctory with their own land, but they had to take good care of Old Wang's land.

We cannot let this sentiment go to waste.

In order to complete her farming task, Xiao Ayu started to become active in the fields while she was farming 20 mu of land at Lao Wang's house.

Grandma Wang gave her a task: to water the compost area.

As long as you water the land, it means you've participated in the labor. Otherwise, if Xiao Ayu had to throw seeds on all 20 acres of land, she would be exhausted.

[Great! Once this batch of grain is harvested, your mission will be complete!]

The space will be upgraded then.
