Gu Xixi nodded and took out her phone to make a note. So the cost over there is so low. It really does have an abundance of cheap labor.

Zhang Chunhua stared at the glowing box in Gu Xixi's hand for a while before continuing her report. At the same time, she took out a small notebook from her bosom. "My monthly wage is six taels of silver, so I only have more than 90 taels of silver left from the money you gave me. This is the account book I wrote for you to review."

With six taels of silver a month, and only two to three taels of silver for a mu of top-quality land, she could buy about three mu of land in two months, and conservatively estimate that she could buy 18 mu of land in a year.

With the annual grain rations included, and considering the current price increases, my wages will probably be a small part of it. I can move out of my thatched hut and into a big brick house like the ones in town within a year.

She never imagined she could earn so much money, so Zhang Chunhua looked at Gu Xixi with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Gu Xixi took the ledger to look at it, and Zhang Chunhua continued to talk about the grain situation, "The rice is growing very well now. It has reached the seedling stage you mentioned. In just one month, it has grown to a foot in length (about 30 centimeters). I have them patrol and guard it every day, and there have been no pests."

"And as for what you mentioned, Miss, about composting fertilizer to fertilize other land for future use, I've already instructed everyone to get it done. Are we still going to continue renting land for farming? There are still many fields in the nearby villages that we can rent."

When Zhang Chunhua talked about the height of the rice, she also gestured with her hand, so Gu Xixi could tell that the current height was the result of normal growth.

Sure enough, with the Heavenly Dao's favorite daughter from that small world around, there were no difficulties.

"Yes, I have prepared some vegetable seeds and new grain seeds. Most of the vegetable seeds I selected can be harvested in one to two months. The grains are still high-yield, with a yield of about 3,000 catties per mu."

Gu Xixi knew that it was May in the other world last month, and it was June now, so the vegetables she prepared were tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, lettuce, pumpkins, spinach, and bok choy.

Vegetables such as tomatoes, green beans, peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants grow rapidly and are highly adaptable in June, while lettuce and pumpkins are suitable for growing in the high temperatures of summer.

Spinach and bok choy can be harvested quickly, taking only about a month from sowing to harvest. In this way, when Zhang Chunhua comes next time, she can deliver the first batch of goods, which can directly supply the needs of the jadeite side.

Zhang Chunhua's world also suffers from a lack of food and clothing. Starting next month, she will receive a share of the profits, and eating only vegetables would be a good option.

Seeing results and gains in a short period of time greatly helps to boost everyone's enthusiasm and also facilitates Zhang Chunhua's subsequent work.

"The other grain I prepared is corn. I don't know if you have it where you are. If you do, the yield probably won't be as good as the improved seeds I gave you. As for the planting of these vegetables... have you taken notes?"

"Well, we'll cover 100 mu of land with vegetables and fish and rice combined, 50 mu of each will do. We'll continue to take the money from you for now, and ask me for more if we need it."

As Gu Xixi spoke, Zhang Chunhua took notes with pen and ink.

"I understand, Miss Gu, I will do my best." Zhang Chunhua nodded vigorously. Money was no problem, seeds were no problem, and renting land was no problem.

The only problem is that there is too much farmland now. She is in charge of 300 acres of land by herself. Fortunately, it is only one village now, but she will probably be unable to take care of it later.

She needs to train her two children as soon as possible so they can help her in the future. As for wages, she doesn't need them; she already wants enough and shouldn't be too greedy.

Chu Feng walked over and reported, "The seeds for everything are ready. Sister Zhang, come here, let us introduce you... And that tricycle is our delivery vehicle for you. You just need to sit on it and pedal..."

Zhang Chunhua was amazed; she couldn't believe there were such lightweight horse-drawn carriages in the world. But something felt strange—why did this tricycle seem so familiar?

But she didn't think much of it. She shook her head and seriously learned to ride a tricycle. Since she didn't need extra balance and was already strong, it was very easy for her to learn.

Zhang Chunhua was riding her bicycle around the yard when Sibao saw her and happily chased after her.

Once she had mastered the skills, everyone loaded all the seeds and supplies for her—rice, flour, cooking oil, sugar, vegetables, fruit, and milk powder—onto the truck. By then, almost all the time had passed.

Zhang Chunhua rode away on her bicycle. Sibao sat in the middle of the grain and bowed to Gu Xixi. She was small and very cute. "Miss, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you again next time. I'll catch fish for you."

"Okay, goodbye." Gu Xixi replied cooperatively.

As the mother and son emerged from the fog, it instantly dissipated. Zhang Chunhua looked back and, sure enough, could no longer see the way out. She rode her bicycle towards the cave entrance; the road was uneven, and the bicycle began to bump slightly.

"Sibao, hold on tight." Zhang Chunhua slowed down. After leaving the cave, the road was wider, but dusty. She pedaled very fast, and Sibao made excited "ooh ooh ooh" sounds.

Only after they disappeared from sight did two heads emerge from the nearby weeds. They were Zhang Chunhua's father-in-law and mother-in-law, both of whom looked terrified.

"Old man, where did she come from?"

"Inside the cave, but we've been guarding the front and back entrances for so long, and we haven't seen her come out or go anywhere. How could she suddenly... Could she be a ghost? Is Zhang Chunhua already dead?"

"That Miss Gu must be some kind of mountain spirit, old woman. We... we shouldn't go against Zhang Chunhua anymore. We're living a good life now, aren't we?"

……

When Zhang Chunhua rode her tricycle back to the village, everyone gathered around and ran after her vehicle.

"Wow, what kind of cart is this? It doesn't need oxen or horses to move, and it can carry so much stuff. I wish I could use this cart to go to the market."

"Sister Zhang, did Miss Gu give this to you again? Did Miss Gu say anything about hiring more people this time?"

"Sibao, please come down and let me sit down too, please."

The crowd followed Zhang Chunhua to her doorstep. Zhang Chunhua stopped and then answered, "This car was given to me by Miss Gu. This time, I want to rent two hundred acres of land. Please help spread the word. Anyone who wants to rent land, come find me first thing tomorrow morning."

……

Modern, get rich supermarket.

After finishing her work, Gu Xixi quickly got into the car with today's supplies allocation list.

Chu Feng got into the driver's seat and reminded everyone, "We should have a routine meeting today. Is it alright if we keep the meeting at the villa? ...Okay, I'll tell everyone to meet at the villa after lunch."

Upon arriving at the villa, Gu Xixi went inside, and Aunt Qin greeted her, "Xixi, Old Master Chen and Xu Yue are here and are in the tea room."

"Okay, I understand." Gu Xixi walked towards the tea room, thinking to herself, "Xu Yue still knows to come back. Ever since she started working with Old Master Xu, has she been treated like a calendar, only looking at her when she remembers?"

She's her assistant, after all.

As soon as Gu Xixi stepped inside, Xu Yue excitedly rushed out and clung to her, "Xixi, I have some super good news to tell you!"
