Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 105 6th Era 1 Everything Can Be Changed Gourmet Food 20

Qiu Tong fully understood the old man's unease, but as she always said, actions speak louder than words.

Wang Shaoyu had said everything he wanted to say, so she had nothing more to add.

Now she needs the villagers to work together to drain the water from the fields.

She also had to clean up the flooded crops, and then restore the soil's fertility so that new crops could be planted.

That way, we might be able to catch this year's autumn harvest.

No, she must make it in time for this year's autumn harvest. As long as she achieves even a little success this time, she must be able to report her achievements to the country.

We strive to implement her new planting plan in the southern region as soon as possible.

To be precise, it should be said that it was developed by predecessors, but in this world, she was the first person to implement such a planting plan, so it can only be said that she developed it.

Qiu Tong silently apologized to the great people who made the contributions. There was a reason for it; she had no choice but to claim their research results as her own.

If she could meet those great people who made these contributions in this world, she would definitely apologize to them in person.

However, according to Xiao Fu's explanation, these planes are only similar to the planes where he once lived, and these planes may not necessarily have those great people.

In addition to the truths about the world she had previously glimpsed, every dimension she was in could potentially have been transformed from a novel.

Therefore, it wouldn't be strange if great people with the same name appeared.

It's even possible that they just share the same name and are not the same person.

Now is not the time to think about such nonsense. We should first gather the villagers and tell them about her plan.

Qiu Tong hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. After all, it was understandable that the villagers would raise questions, given that their land was being requisitioned and the planting methods were unfamiliar to them.

As soon as she gathered everyone together and announced her plan, most of the villagers started clamoring to refuse.

Qiu Tong was originally going to step forward and explain herself, but Wang Shaoyu, who was beside her, beat her to it once again.

"Everyone, calm down, listen to what I have to say first, and then decide whether or not to refuse."

First, even if we don't use Ms. Tang Zhaodi's method to grow grain on your land, what else do you think we can grow?

Secondly, can you ensure that the crops you replant will not be affected by the next typhoon?

As far as I know, summer here is the season with frequent typhoons.

You can dodge the first day of the month, but can you dodge the fifteenth?

Third, can you guarantee, like Ms. Tang Zhaodi, a successful harvest during the autumn harvest season? Can you guarantee the yield?

If you can resolve these three issues, then we will no longer requisition your land.

Upon hearing Wang Shaoyu's three points, the villagers began to discuss them animatedly.

If they had a way to solve the problem, they wouldn't be shutting themselves away praying to gods and Buddhas; they would have gone to the fields long ago to clean up the land after the disaster.

In the end, they accepted Qiu Tong's method with some skepticism.

But when Qiu Tong said that one-third of the grain would be collected after the harvest, the villagers objected.

At this point, without Qiu Tong having to step in, Wang Shaoyu automatically stepped forward to help her solve the problem.

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet and let me say a few more words."

The grain we collect is all handed over to the state, which is no different from what you usually do.

The government has introduced many policies to benefit the people in response to this disaster. This third of the grain is less than the amount you used to hand over.

Previously, the management was handled by the commune, but this time, because it was the first batch of newly planted grain, the leaders attached great importance to it and specifically assigned our troops to be responsible for transporting it back.

One of the villagers quickly asked, "Will the commune continue to collect our grain?"

"This batch won't be, but if there's a new harvest later, we'll still have to hand over the same amount as before."

In this era, farming was still collective. All crops were stored in the production team, and the quantity was allocated by the commune and handed over to the state. The remainder was used as food for the villagers.

Therefore, the villagers in each village attach great importance to their food rations.

Wang Shaoyu said that they would transport one-third of the grain back.

It wasn't exactly a lie; they did transport the grain, but it didn't need to be handed over to the state. Instead, it was used as rations along their route and as relief food.

Qiu Tong had already told Wang Shaoyu her plan; their next destination was an area severely affected by the insect infestation.

They will definitely need food supplies along the way, as well as relief for refugees.

He has already reported these matters to the state and received approval from the leaders, which is why he dares to say this now.

Hearing this, the villagers stopped making a fuss and began to go into the fields to clean up the drowned crops.

With the villagers' help, the cleanup went much faster.

The villagers cleaned up the fields themselves, while Qiu Tong led a group to deal with the waterlogging problem.

Qiu Tong asked the village chief to find some large vats, and she secretly took out a soft rubber tube from her spatial storage.

Using their knowledge of physics, they pumped the water from the field into a large vat.

Of course, the hose cannot pump out all the water; the remaining water must be drained manually.

Then, they used handcarts to move these large water-filled vats to other places to dump them.

Unlike the severe water shortage in the north, the southern region has abundant water resources and there is no shortage of water for irrigation.

Instead, flooding is the most significant problem here.

There's no need to store the water in the fields; you can just dump it anywhere.

It took several days to deal with these matters, and then Qiu Tong taught everyone how to quickly restore soil fertility.

During this time, she also provided some fertilizer from the magical city, which was also a drop of fertilizer developed by George.

Just one drop of this liquid added to several tons of water can fertilize an acre of land.

This fertilizer was brought by Qiu Tong from the magical city. There wasn't much of it, but she knew how to produce this one drop of fertilizer.

As long as there are enough materials, she can extract a lot of fertilizer, but she dares not provide this fertilizer to the country.

They could only spray the fertilizer secretly. Qiu Tong would have her three younger brothers hold big ladles and sprinkle water on the ground, letting them play with the water.

Qiu Tong had specifically instructed them to spread the seeds evenly on the ground, not just on one patch.

Then this scene unfolded in the field: in the tilled soil, a group of children took large scoops and scattered around, sprinkling water.

This was Qiu Tong teaching her younger brothers to do this, so that they could unite with the children in the village to take action together.

The villagers didn't understand why Qiu Tong would do this, but since it would make the child happy to play, they didn't stop her.

During this period, natural disasters have caused widespread panic everywhere.

The children were often hungry and lived in constant fear with their parents, which was heartbreaking for the parents to see.

Now that they can see their own children smiling and happily playing in the water, they are naturally delighted.

Qiu Tong's behavior often made Wang Shaoyu look at her with a thoughtful expression.

The soft tubing that Qiu Tong took out last time had already aroused Wang Shaoyu's suspicion.

Although he had feelings for Qiu Tong, he wasn't so love-struck that he wouldn't notice anything else.

The soft rubber hose was clearly not a product of this era. At the time, Qiu Tong didn't dare to take too much, only taking out one hose to pump water from one field after another.

After the water was pumped out, she put it back into her spatial storage, fearing that someone might take it for research.

Wang Shaoyu had examined it closely while pumping water, but he still couldn't figure out what it was or what materials it was made of.

There were no flexible hoses in this era, so nobody knew what this hollow flexible tube was.

Some people still went to ask Qiu Tong, but Qiu Tong just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Wang Shaoyu suppressed his initial urge to ask.

He knew that even if he asked now, he would get the same result as those people—no answer.

Then when he saw Qiu Tong making the children sprinkle water, he looked thoughtful, wondering what Qiu Tong meant by doing so.

He didn't think Qiu Tong would do such pointless things, especially since it was Aiguo and the others who were leading the effort.

He just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, and he couldn't ask, so he could only put his mind at ease and deal with the current situation.

Qiu Tong only allowed the villagers to fertilize the plants using their usual methods, and then had the children water them.

So when the villagers had a bumper harvest, they thought it was a blessing from heaven that allowed their fields to recover their fertility quickly.

Qiu Tong also taught them some folk remedies, telling them to prepare more homemade compost, instead of just using organic fertilizer.

Chemical fertilizers didn't exist in this era, and Qiu Tong didn't want to pollute the land with chemicals, so she could only teach them some folk remedies to stockpile fertilizer for future use.

While Qiu Tong was doing these things, she was also cultivating seedlings. Once the land was tilled, she started having the villagers plant the seedlings.

She needs to plant the new rice and wheat as soon as possible, otherwise another typhoon will drown the seedlings she has worked so hard to cultivate.

If rice and wheat are heading, as long as the heading crops are protected before and after a typhoon passes, and the accumulated water is drained as soon as possible after the disaster, most of the crops can be saved and losses can be reduced.

At the same time, Qiu Tong instructed Wang Shaoyu to lead people to dig ditches near the fields so that even if heavy rain came, the water in the fields could be drained slowly.

Try to dig to a low-lying area nearby, ideally one that flows into a river.
