Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Ever since he discussed the issues of Taohua Village with his grandfather last time, Lin Lizheng has been traveling frequently between Taohua Village and the Jiang family.

In the past month, Jiang Xue's life has been busy and fulfilling. She shuttles between home and the factory every day to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Thanks to her efforts, the meatball factory has been completed and started production. Twenty employees are working busy and orderly. The large amount of meatballs produced every day are continuously transported to the town to meet the market demand.

Meanwhile, cement plants have also made significant progress.

Using the remaining cement, Jiang Xue guided the villagers to build a large dam as an expansion area for the factory.

With the arrival of the tools sent by Butler Chen, the cement factory officially started operation. Twelve ox carts shuttled back and forth every day, transporting stones to the factory to ensure smooth production.

The snack bars in the town are extremely popular and have become a highlight of Yunwu Town.

Residents from surrounding towns came here to buy the delicious oden. Even some customers from the county town came to taste it, which brought a lot of popularity to Yunwu Town.

As the economy of Yunwu Town prospered, the prices of shops also soared.

Jiang Xue keenly captured the business opportunity and promptly purchased dozens of remote shops.

She believes this is enough to meet her future development plans.

However, not long after she completed the purchase, the prices of shops in Yunwu Town doubled, and some even tripled.

Those who sold their shops early are now regretting it, while Jiang Xue is glad for her wise decision.

Although the tasks of planting radishes and building the factory have been completed, Jiang Xue found that the main tasks and side tasks are still blank, which makes her feel a little confused.

"Lin Lizheng, I have already discussed with Grandpa. We will go to Taohua Village early tomorrow morning." Jiang Xue pointed to several ponds filled with saplings and continued, "I am planting some rice and wheat here as a test."

After hearing this, Lin Lizheng showed a look of joy on his face: "That's great, our Taohua Village is really saved this time!"

He suddenly noticed the strange plants in the vegetable garden, turned around curiously and asked, "Girl, what are these vegetables you are growing here? Why don't I recognize any of them?"

Jiang Xue smiled and explained, "These are the seeds my master gave me. They are white radish, lettuce, Chinese cabbage and watermelon. Each one has its own unique taste and use."

Lin Lizheng's eyes were attracted by the Ficus microcarpa tree nearby. He walked up to it and took a closer look. Then he said in surprise, "Hey, isn't this the vine that is everywhere in our area? Why are you planting it?"

When Jiang Xue heard this, she was moved and hurried forward to check the lily tree. She remained calm on the surface, but was very excited inside: "Lin Lizheng, are you sure there are many vines like this in your village?"

Lin Lizheng nodded and said nonchalantly, "Yes, there are a lot. Before the New Year, the children at home picked a lot of fruits to play with. But those fruits cannot be eaten, they are just for the novelty."

"Are there a lot of fruits?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of them. This vine likes to grow next to rocks and big trees. We always find it troublesome when we cut down trees." Lin Lizheng said with a look of disgust on his face.

Jiang Xue was delighted when she heard this. She had taken great pains to get the seeds of the Ficus microcarpa and cultivated them carefully, but she did not expect to see them everywhere in Taohua Village.

"Lin Lizheng, I will buy the fruits of the lychee trees for one cent per pound. I will take as many as you have in your village." Jiang Xue said in a firm tone.

Lin Lizheng was stunned after hearing this, thinking, isn't this just giving money? There is not much in their village, except for the litchi trees that are everywhere. The fruit hangs for a long time, up to eight months, but they have always been considered useless.

"Miss Jiang, do you really want to pick this fruit?" Lin Lizheng asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I'll take as many as you can, but I only want the female fruits," Jiang Xue added.

"Oh, I understand. The big ones are male fruits, and the small ones are female fruits. There are many seeds in the female fruits." Lin Lizheng quickly understood what Jiang Xue meant.

"Okay, that's settled then." Jiang Xue nodded in agreement.

Lin Li was about to go back to the village to tell everyone the good news. However, he suddenly turned around and saw another unfamiliar plant. He asked curiously, "Do you want to harvest this one too? It looks like a tree and has many red fruits on it."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and explained: "This is chili pepper. You will know its use in the future." She did not intend to tell Lin Lizheng the use of chili pepper now.

Lin Lizheng looked at the red peppers and felt more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember what they were for a moment. He touched the back of his head and said to himself: "I told you, the seedlings given by the master grow fast. Look, it hasn't been long, and these have grown so tall."

Jiang Lizheng couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he heard Jiang Xue say that the seeds of these crops were given by her master.

He had heard about this mysterious master from the villagers, but everyone only mentioned him briefly and he had not learned much about it.

At this time, he smiled awkwardly, praised Jiang Xue's master a few words, and then left in a hurry.

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Lizheng's back and shook her head secretly.

She knew that the reason these crops grew so lushly was not because of the seeds given by some master, but because she had recently used spiritual spring water to water the land.

This originally barren land is full of vitality with the nourishment of the spiritual spring.

However, she also realized that if the vegetables grew too fast, it would attract attention, which was not what she wanted to see.

She decided to water the crops with the spiritual spring water only every few days to slow down the growth of the crops.

This will keep the soil fertile without attracting too much attention.

Half an hour later, Taohua Village, Grain Drying Ground

The villagers were talking about something, not knowing what important news Lin Li was going to announce. They were curious and whispered to each other.

Lin Lizheng cleared his throat and said loudly: "I have something to inform everyone. This is a good opportunity to make money."

When the villagers heard the word "making money", they immediately became excited and looked at Lin Lizheng.

"The granddaughter of Li Zheng's family in the neighboring Jiangjia Village wants to buy wooden steamed buns. She offers one penny per pound to buy them." said Lin Li Zheng.

"What? Wooden bun? Is it the vine that grows all over the back wall of my house and bears green fruits?" a villager asked in surprise, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Yes, that's it. I know everyone usually thinks this thing is useless, but now someone is willing to pay for it, this is a good opportunity to make money." Lin Lizheng explained.

"What are those things used for? They are everywhere." Another villager asked in confusion.

"I don't know about this, but if people are willing to buy it, we can make money. Besides, this girl only wants female fruits, which are small fruits with many seeds. You should have seen them before and should be able to tell the difference, right?" Lin Lizheng said loudly.

"Then I know, my kid will recognize it." A villager said confidently.

"I can tell the difference, too," another villager echoed.

The villagers below began to whisper to each other, discussing details such as how to pick wood buns and how to distinguish female fruits. Lin Lizheng looked at everyone's excitement and felt relieved. However, as the discussion deepened, the noise became louder and louder, making Lin Lizheng a little irritated.

He had to raise his voice again to ask everyone to be quiet and continue explaining the specific acquisition details and precautions.

"I said one cent per pound, so it's one cent. If you don't go now, don't complain to me later." Lin Lizheng walked quickly back home with his son. He knew that this business was as easy as picking up money, so he had to quickly organize his family to pick wooden buns.

The villagers on the threshing ground looked at each other in bewilderment, but the hesitation lasted less than three seconds before the entire threshing ground was empty. Everyone couldn't wait to run home to call their families, pick up their tools and set out.

The old woman looked at the busy villagers around her and hesitated: "Old man, is what Lin Lizheng said reliable?"

Old man Li next to him replied, "Who cares if it's real or not? Everyone has picked them anyway, so let's pick some today and take a gamble. If they really want it, then we'll make money."

Although Old Man Li also thought it was unlikely, he knew this wooden bun. No one ate it before, even when people were starving to death. How could anyone buy it now? But seeing that everyone was taking action, he couldn't fall behind.

"Hurry up and call them. All the fruits will be picked soon. What will we pick then?" Old man Li urged the old woman next to him.

The old woman didn't care and said with a smile: "Have you picked all the wood buns? There are plenty on the mountain, even outside the toilet in the backyard." She looked disdainful and obviously didn't care about the task of picking wood buns.

Jiangjia Village Factory Planning Point

"Ms. Jiang, are you planning to build a new factory?" Bai Yufeng asked curiously after taking the drawings handed over by Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue nodded and explained, “Yes, this time is different from before.
