Chapter 28 The Rice Seeds Sprout
Jiang Yan's mood also flew along with the vines.
By the time this infectious enthusiasm subsided and calm returned, it was already midnight.
Jiang Yan tucked away the vines and turned around, only to discover that the cabbages she had planted in the yard were gone. Looking at the bare ground, she knew without question that her daughter must have sold them to the system again.
Jiang Yan was overjoyed when she thought of her little money-grubber.
Ever since they were able to trade with the system, Yichen has become addicted to it. If she doesn't sell something every few days, she feels listless and like something is missing.
Especially when seeing the star coins and virtual currencies displayed on the screen constantly increasing, my eyes will smile into crescents.
Jiang Yan knew her daughter's preferences and just smiled without saying anything. As long as her daughter liked it, she would do her best to help her achieve it.
The mother and daughter gradually formed a tacit understanding, that is, Jiang Yan is responsible for sowing and promoting labor, and Yi Chen is responsible for buying and selling.
Tonight, Jiang Yan tilled the soil as usual, leveled it, and planted the seeds. She waited until the seedlings sprouted, only then did she stop and rest.
In the early morning, the mother and daughter woke up to the sound of birds singing.
The weather was getting warmer. Yichen pointed to the uneaten potatoes and two sweet potatoes in the kitchen and discussed with Jiang Yan: "Mom, let's plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes too."
"You can plant it, but I don't know if there are any here."
"Mom, whether there's anything to plant or not, we can plant it."
"Let me think."
"Mom, we are harmless. My Aunt Guan and the others are easy to talk to. So, as long as we come up with a convincing excuse, my Aunt Guan won't get suspicious. Besides, that little flag master is always worried about food. If he knew we could grow high-yield crops, he would be so happy that he would shout louder than Sansheng."
"Well, we still have to arrange to ask for credit for us."
Perhaps because their ability level has increased again, the mother and daughter have become braver.
Now that you’ve made the decision, let’s do it.
Jiang Yan first cut the potatoes into several pieces according to the sprout points, mixed them with wood ash and then planted them.
As for the sweet potatoes, she also needs to use her wood-related abilities to germinate and grow them.
Yichen sat by and watched. When the sweet potato seedlings grew to a height suitable for planting, she reached out her little hands to help pull them down and put them aside.
Just like that, in less than an incense stick of time, there was already a large pile of sweet potato seedlings next to Yichen.
"Mom, is that enough?"
"almost."
"When are we going to plant it?"
"After breakfast."
"Then I'll feed the puppies first." Yichen thought of the scene of the four puppies drinking milk, and she put down the sweet potato sprouts in her hand with a smile and went to prepare breakfast for the puppies.
If Guan knew that Yichen fed such good food to the puppies, she would definitely call her a spendthrift.
The days passed one by one, and five days later in the morning, many people from the Thirteen Banners woke up to Guan's loud shouts.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! This, this, this... I must be dreaming!"
Guan's series of shouts woke up everyone in the Thirteen Banners, from the elders to the children.
Zhang Xiaoqi was the first to run out of his house, wearing only his shirt and trousers. In a flash, he crossed the simple stone bridge and saw his wife standing intact beside the paddy field planted by the Jiang family. His heart finally settled.
But he was still worried and asked, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Someone shared that there was obvious pride in Guan's loud voice. "Boss, come over quickly and take a look."
"What are you looking at?"
"The rice planted by Sister Jiang has sprouted and grown." Guan gestured to Zhang Xiaoqi.
"Really?" This time Zhang Xiaoqi ran even faster. His bare soles touched the uneven path, yet he ran with the momentum of a charge.
When he ran to his wife, he looked at the paddy field according to her gesture and saw rows of tender green seedlings breaking through the soil.
"I~hahaha, our Thirteen Banners can really grow rice. Hahaha, our Xishan Hundred Households will also have a day to be proud of themselves. Hahaha, wife, I'm going to tell the Hundred Households. Hahaha~"
As Zhang Xiaoqi's heroic laughter faded away, leaving behind no trace of a cloud, Jiang Yan dared to leave the shack with her daughter.
The moment she saw Jiang Yan, Guan's eyes became sticky and glued to her.
"Sister, sister~"
"Sister Guan, you came here so early today?"
"I just woke up this morning and wanted to feed the chickens and ducklings at home, but when I looked over, there wasn't a single vegetable left from yesterday. So I went out of the yard to pick a few wild vegetables to take back, but I ended up wandering off to the river. When I accidentally saw your paddy fields, I thought my eyes were blurring."
When Guan thought about the vast expanse of green she had just seen, her heart almost jumped out of her throat with excitement.
"Girl, you don't know how I felt at that time. I almost ran towards you with all my strength."
"..." Jiang Yan wanted to say, is it that exaggerated?
But before she could say anything, Guan spoke up.
"Sister, you don't know how much the people of Xishan Hundred Households desire for rice."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Across the river, the families of the Thirteen Banners all nodded.
Old Yu even said in a rather literary manner, "If we could have a bowl of white rice porridge with a side dish in the morning, that would be what everyone in the Thirteen Banners aspires to do."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded again, "Madam Jiang, if you succeed in growing rice this year, can you teach us how to grow rice together next year?"
Looking at everyone's hopeful eyes, Jiang Yan did not let them down. She nodded solemnly as if it was a promise.
Seeing Jiang Yan agreed, everyone's face showed a longing for a better life next year.
...
Coincidentally, there was nothing important today, and Captain Dong was sitting in his room thinking about something.
With the newly opened tofu shop this year, the Xishan Hundred Households Office has finally made a great comeback.
Thinking of this, he was happy for several days.
But when he thought of Na Xia's stubborn and boastful look when the rice was ripe, he felt itchy again.
"Damn it!"
Just when Captain Dong wanted to find someone to fight, he heard Zhang Xiaoqi's voice.
"Master Centurion, Master Centurion, good news, good news!"
"No good news can make you crawl and tumble, unable to even walk."
"Captain, the rice planted by the Jiang family has sprouted." At the critical moment, Zhang Xiaoqi's mouth was a little trembling.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. I came to report it to you after seeing it with my own eyes." Zhang Xiaoqi felt a little embarrassed when he thought that when he came out, he only remembered wearing his coat and his hair was messy.
