"That's right, our village has really made progress this year!"

"This is all thanks to A Zheng's wife. If it weren't for her, would we be able to eat our fill?"

"That's right, if you ask me..."

The villagers were talking among themselves while looking at the rice in the rice fields that was bent by the full rice ears.

A gust of wind blew by, and layers of rice waves surged in the fields. The heavy rice ears looked like gold given by nature, which made people happy just by looking at them.

At the command of Village Chief Li, the people helping with the harvest began to swing their sickles quickly. Everyone wanted to know how much rice they could harvest from so much rice.

Jiang Qinyu didn't go to the fields, but she couldn't help but get excited when she saw the scene in her own rice fields.

While everyone was busy harvesting rice, Jiang Qinyu simply opened the system mall and spent another 2,000 points to buy random high-yield seeds.

Facts have proved that the system did not cheat her this time. Whether it is winter wheat or something else, the products produced by the system are indeed high-yielding.

In addition to the plan agreed upon with Wei Chengzhong yesterday, purchasing seeds is a must.

Jiang Qinyu bought a thousand high-yield grain seed gift packs for two points in one go, which was quite generous of her.

I don’t know why, but this time Jiang Qinyu’s gift pack of one thousand high-yield grain seeds only contains three kinds of crops: sweet potatoes, wheat and rice.

Maybe these few have already reaped a good harvest in this world? Jiang Qinyu guessed that this was probably the case.

But this is not important. The total of two thousand kilograms of grain seeds, plus what Dingshui Village had harvested before, is not enough.

Jiang Qinyu looked at her points balance worriedly. There were less than 500 points left. It seemed that she had to complete the task quickly and get the third floor out first.

The third floor of her supermarket is the men's clothing and sports equipment area, with many brands. Unfortunately, even if it is unlocked, it is of no use and can only be used as a warehouse.

The only benefit is probably to earn points.

She had just sorted and put away the seeds when the joyful voice of Village Chief Li came from the field.

"The harvest is over! Everyone, go to Old Meng's fields and continue harvesting. I'll take the others to thresh these rice ears first."

The threshing tools were brought over early and placed at the edge of the field, and they were already threshing while harvesting.

Jiang Qinyu also joined in helping with threshing.

Nowadays, rice is threshed using a hu (second tone) threshing machine, which is all done manually. It can be done by at least one person, but usually two people work together. One passes the rice ears and seedlings bundled into a bundle, and the other stuffs the rice ears into the hu.

Such a tool is naturally not as efficient as a modern thresher, but the advantage is that now only the rice in Jiang Qinyu's family's one acre of land needs to be threshed, and all the five rice threshers in the village are here.

About an hour later, Jiang Qinyu had processed all the rice on this acre of land.

Without being told by Village Chief Li, Chen Shao and Liu Yazi started to weigh the items in a hurry.

"You two little brats, be careful and don't make any mistakes." Village chief Li urged them while wiping his sweat.

Chen Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief, Liu Yazi and I are both familiar with this matter, so there will definitely be no mistakes!"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! Hurry up!" Village Chief Li scolded with a smile, but in fact he was already very impatient.

Even though they didn't know the exact data yet, they could tell from the piles of rice on the field that the yield of this rice was definitely much better than what they had grown before.

Jiang Qinyu also wanted to know the yield of the high-yield rice seeds provided by the system. Just as she was eagerly looking forward to it, she heard Li Dachui's anxious voice.

"Village chief, A Zheng's family, there's a group of yamen runners outside the village, go and take a look!"

Dingshui Village still maintains the habit of daily patrols and standing guard at the lookout tower at the entrance of the village to prevent any further accidents.

Village Chief Li and Jiang Qinyu looked at each other, but they were not panicked. After all, they had just met Lord Wei from the county government yesterday and knew that he was not a bad person.

"Niece, come with me to take a look?" Village Chief Li looked at Jiang Qinyu and said.

Jiang Qinyu thought about it and simply shook her head, "No, Uncle Village Chief, why don't we just let them come directly to the fields!"

"That's fine. We haven't done anything bad, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Village Chief Li paused and nodded, then said to Li Dachui, "Dachui, go bring the police officer here. We can talk about anything here."

"Ah? Isn't this bad?" Li Dachui hesitated. "Isn't this too slow?"

Jiang Qinyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Dachui. Nothing is more important than the harvest in the fields right now. I'm sure you guys will understand."

She believed that Village Chief Li, like her, wanted to be the first to know the rice yield, so he didn't want to leave the field.

"Okay then, I'll be there right away." Seeing her say that, Li Dachui stopped hesitating and turned around and ran away quickly.

Chen Shao and Liu Yazi quickened their pace to weigh and record. After another quarter of an hour, they finally finished weighing all the rice harvested from this acre of land.

"A Shao, have you figured it out?" Jiang Qinyu asked impatiently.

Chen Shao was so excited that he was about to answer, but when he looked up, he saw Li Dachui coming with a group of yamen runners and a middle-aged man in official uniform.

"Mrs. Lu, is that the county magistrate coming?" Chen Shao changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and asked while looking ahead.

Jiang Qinyu turned her head and immediately exclaimed, "Why is Lord Wei here?"

While she was thinking about it, Village Chief Li had already called her to go up to meet him quickly.

"Greetings, Madam." Wei Chengzhong bowed respectfully when he saw Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, bowing slightly, "Greetings, Master Wei."

Village chief Li and others also saluted Wei Chengzhong.

Wei Chengzhong said, "No need to be so polite, everyone. I came here today to see the situation in the fields of Dingshui Village."

To be precise, he wanted to see what the high-yield crops that could earn the imperial court the special award of a county lady looked like.

"Well, sir, you're here today," said Village Chief Li, who had become somewhat familiar with Wei Chengzhong yesterday. He wasn't shy when he saw him today, but instead smiled proudly, "We're harvesting the rice we planted last year."

Wei Chengzhong glanced at the rice that had been threshed and laid out on the ground, as well as the wet straw neatly spread out on the ground, and couldn't help but express a bit of surprise, "How can we harvest rice at this time?"

Village Chief Li chuckled and said, "These are all seeds that my eldest niece, oh no, the general's wife found. They can be planted in winter."

Jiang Qinyu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this. In fact, the rice seeds given by the system can be sown at any time of the year. Depending on the temperature, the time from sowing to harvesting varies from three to five months.

Modern rice is divided into early, middle and late rice, and the system's rice seeds can also be divided according to this. However, the situation was special last year, so Jiang Qinyu didn't care too much about it. The right thing to do was to plant them first.

However, she underestimated the reliability of the system's products. She didn't expect the one-click after-sales function to be so powerful. Even in today's weather, the rice was harvested safely and matured.

"Oh? Have you calculated the rice yield?" Wei Chengzhong asked.
