Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"Lin San, you're delivering wood so early." Old Master Jiang opened the curtain and greeted Lin San.

Lin San responded with a smile on his face, "That's right, Jiang Lizheng. You are going to start building that cave house. I heard that the location is in the barren mountains. Mr. Bai has ordered a lot of wood, and we have been busy cutting trees these days."

"Cave?" Old Master Jiang turned and looked at Jiang Xue behind him with a puzzled look on his face.

Jiang Xue nodded, confirming Lin San's words.

"Oh, Jiang Lizheng, I won't talk to you anymore. Mr. Bai is urging me to leave. I have to leave first." After Lin San said this, he hurriedly drove away in the carriage.

After Lin San walked away, Mr. Jiang got back into the carriage and couldn't help asking curiously, "Sanniu, what is this cave used for? Do you want to burn blue bricks?"

Jiang Xue nodded, then shook her head and said, "More than just big blue bricks."

"Oh?" Old Master Jiang became even more curious.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Grandpa, I will tell you when the cave house is repaired. You will know then."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Mr. Jiang stopped asking questions and closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, Taohua Village

When the carriage arrived at Taohua Village, Jiang Xue was already feeling a little uncomfortable from the bumpy ride. Fortunately, the farmer took out the spiritual spring water in time, which alleviated her condition.

"Why does the road to Taohua Village feel like it keeps going around the mountains? If the road is built, the journey here will be shortened to fifteen minutes." Jiang Xue rubbed her butt, feeling lucky that she came here by horse carriage. If she had taken an ox cart, her butt would probably have given up.

When Mr. Jiang heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Build a road? The people in these mountains can't even get enough food, how can they afford to build a road?"

At this moment, Chen Yuxi's voice interrupted their conversation, "Miss, we're here."

Jiang Xue responded and prepared to get out of the car. Old Master Jiang also opened the curtain and prepared to get out of the car.

Li Zheng Wang had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time and was sitting on a stone nearby.

Hearing the footsteps of the carriage, he looked up and saw that it was the Jiang family's carriage, and stood up quickly. For the people of Taohua Village, a carriage was a rare thing, and it was naturally the first time he saw it.

Wang Lizheng saw the carriage stopped in front of him. The driver seemed to be Jiang Xue's maid. He hurried over and said, "Jiang Lizheng and Miss Jiang, you are finally here."

Old Master Jiang opened the curtain and saw Li Zheng Wang. He smiled and greeted him, "Brother Lin."

"Come on, I'll take you to see it." Wang Lizheng said, rubbing his hands nervously, then got on the carriage uncomfortably and sat outside.

"Lin Lizheng, what are you doing sitting outside? Come in!" Old Master Jiang looked at Lin Lizheng who was sitting outside and invited him with some confusion.

Lin Lizheng quickly waved his hands to refuse, "No, no, I'll lead the way outside." He was a little nervous and didn't dare to get into such a luxurious carriage, for fear that he would not be able to afford the compensation if it got dirty.

Led by Lin Lizheng, the carriage stopped steadily in his backyard.

As she entered the village, Jiang Xue had been observing the place carefully. Just as she had heard before, stone steps of more than ten to twenty meters high could be seen almost everywhere in Taohua Village. Although they were not high, they could not be leveled because there were so many stones here that even the soil in the ground was rocky.

However, this also provides unique growing conditions for the ficus pumila trees here, and this unique plant can be seen everywhere on trees or stone walls.

The terrain of Taohua Village is completely different from that of Jiangjia Village.

The courtyards here are everywhere, uneven in size, some are built on the hillside, and some are located at the bottom of the slope.

Although they are not far apart, they are independent of each other, forming a unique village landscape.

Jiang Xue noticed that the people living on the slope had seen their carriage entering the village early on. Those villagers who were able to walk ran down the muddy road and gathered in a slightly wider open space - the threshing ground of Taohua Village.

There were not many people coming, most of them were elderly people or children who could not walk.

Jiang Xue guessed that the young villagers must have gone up the mountain to pick lychee fruits. As expected, she found that the lychee trees in the village along the way had no fruits.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here?" Someone in the crowd recognized Jiang Xue and greeted her enthusiastically. He turned around and introduced her to the villagers around him: "This is Miss Jiang from Jiangjia Village. She is the one who collected the wood from our village. She also collected a lot of wooden buns yesterday."

"Mu Mantou?" Jiang Xue couldn't help but feel curious when she heard the name.

Wang Lizheng quickly explained: "This is what we call it here. It's the lychee fruit you harvested yesterday."

Jiang Xue nodded to show her understanding. She knew that every place had its own unique name, and it was not surprising.

At this time, the villagers gathered around began to talk.

"Wow, this girl looks young, but I didn't expect her to be so capable." A woman looked at Jiang Xue with surprise.

"Yes, this girl is a lucky person." The person next to her echoed.

"Who says it's not true? My granddaughter only knows how to pick grass for pigs every day. She is not as good as others at all."

"It's the same in every family!"

Jiang Xue listened to the villagers' discussion and felt a little emotional. She understood that this idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was particularly common in rural areas, but she also believed that with the progress of the times, this concept would gradually fade.

At this moment, a little boy's voice came from not far away: "Fellow villagers, Miss Jiang from Jiangjia Village is here, everyone come and take a look..."

As the little boy shouted, more and more villagers ran out from behind the hills and gathered in front of Jiang Xue and the others.

Seeing this, Lin Lizheng was worried that too many people would affect Jiang Xue's work, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Miss Jiang is here to see the terrain of our village and find ways to solve some problems for us. Don't gather here, everyone, disperse."

"Everyone, go and pick wooden buns. Don't you want to make money? Aren't you hungry?" Lin Lizheng's words made the villagers look at each other in confusion, and then they dispersed and got busy.

Led by Lin Lizheng, Jiang Xue and his group climbed up a small slope. The terrain here is complex, with stones everywhere and poor soil, which is not suitable for growing crops. But the villagers cleverly used these stones to build houses in a patchwork manner.

Jiang Xue noticed that some places had just been dug for tree pits, and it was obvious that the villagers were trying to plant trees to improve the environment. But the terrain made planting extremely difficult. However, despite the harsh environment, the place was still full of life.

An hour later, Liu Lizheng brought Jiang Xue and others into his yard. He warmly invited his family to serve tea and put the freshly roasted melon seeds on the table.

"You all must be thirsty! Come in and have some water! These are melon seeds, freshly fried yesterday." Li Zheng Liu said as he led everyone into the inner room.

"Don't be polite. We don't have much to offer. I'll ask my wife to lay some eggs later."

Jiang Xue was a little surprised and quickly rejected Liu Lizheng's good intention to cook eggs: "No, we had dinner when we came here."

Old Master Jiang smiled and said to Lin Lizheng: "My granddaughter is ignorant and doesn't know the rules. Lin Lizheng, please don't be angry."

Lin Lizheng waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about, Jiang Lizheng? I can't even thank Miss Jiang enough, how could I be angry? Miss Jiang's arrival is a great thing for us."

Jiang Xue was a little confused after hearing what her grandfather said. She didn't know what else there was to say.
