Chapter 404 New Skills
Ye Jintang thought so in his mind, and collected the herbs and planted wheat again.
When distributing wheat seeds next spring, she will give farmers more wheat so that they can survive the lean spring.
There are a large population inside and outside Ningchuan City, so she needs to work harder to grow more wheat to share the population.
After planting the wheat, Ye Jintang went to the fish pond to catch carp. Recently, her taste had become strange and she particularly liked eating fish. A few days ago, she even wanted to eat sashimi, but Aunt Zhang would never agree. She had never seen a good person eat raw fish.
After the space was upgraded, Ye Jintang thought the large fish tank was too small, so the tank was turned into a fish pond.
Ye Jintang took a net bag and scooped up a big carp weighing more than ten kilograms in the fish pond.
She felt that one big carp might not be enough to eat, so she chased another big carp with white scales on its back around the pond, trying to catch it.
The big carp looked to weigh at least 20 kilograms. It hid here and there in the fish pond. It took Ye Jintang a lot of effort to finally fish it out of the pond.
"Oh my god, this must weigh 30 kilograms, right?"
Lifting the fish by its gills and weighing it, Ye Jintang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She hadn't seen such a big carp in a long time.
Just after catching the carp, Ye Jintang turned his head and saw that the wheat in the farmland, which should have been ripe, was now green.
She was wondering why the wheat in the fields was not ripe yet since she had spent so much time catching carp.
Just as he was wondering, Ye Jintang suddenly saw a mountain of sacks piled up beside the farmland.
"Oh my god, this space can't really have an automatic delivery function."
Putting down the big carp in his hand, Ye Jintang hurried over, opened the sack and saw that it was indeed full of wheat.
Ye Jintang, who was ecstatic, quickly planted mulberry trees, raised silkworms, and planted a small piece of cotton. She secretly gave orders to the space in her mind, asking it to automatically raise silkworms and harvest cotton.
Then a scene appeared: the newly ripe cotton suddenly flew into the sky, automatically gathered together and was packed into sacks that had been prepared long ago.
The remaining cotton stalks in the fields automatically disappeared, and the cotton seeds flew out of the wooden boxes and were replanted in the fields.
There was a row of bamboo flats next to the farmland. The silkworms inside had just finished eating mulberry leaves. A handful of fresh mulberry leaves flew over and landed in the bamboo flats.
After a while, the silkworms, as soon as they spun silk and made cocoons, were collected by the system, the bamboo blankets were cleaned again, covered with fresh mulberry leaves, and silkworm eggs were placed on them, starting a new round of breeding.
Looking at everything in front of him, Ye Jintang's mouth was grinning to his ears with joy.
From today on, she no longer has to work hard to plant in the space every day. From now on, she just needs to set what she wants to plant and leave the rest to the space.
She said that if she upgraded from level 3 to level 4, she would be given enough space to only have two horses. Now it seems that automatic delivery is the biggest reward.
After coming out of the space, Ye Jintang had a good sleep and finally felt better.
As night fell, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo joined everyone in eating barbecue, grilled fish, and drinking Tu Su wine, creating a lively atmosphere.
Ye Jintang prepared red envelopes filled with gold melon seeds, silver and copper coins, and small jade pieces and distributed them to everyone.
The barbecue party lasted until very late.
Tonight Ye Jintang learned his lesson and did not drink Tu Su wine, but instead drank fruit wine with a lower alcohol content.
"It's such a nice day today, why don't you drink Tusu wine?"
"Drink."
Looking at Xiao Mo's helpless eyes, Ye Jintang found it extremely funny. She knew best what he was planning.
"Just a sip."
"If you take a sip, it counts as drinking. Your Majesty, do you want to stay up tonight?"
"Of course, we'll stay up together."
The two of them stayed up together in the main room. At first, several of Lu Zhu's maids were with them in the room, but Xiao Mo thought they were an eyesore, so he asked them to leave. Only he and Ye Jintang were left in the room.
The charcoal in the charcoal stove was burning hot, and he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Jintang.
"I can't drink anymore. I ate too much barbecue tonight."
Ye Jintang rubbed his swollen belly and muttered, "I must not be greedy anymore. I have a hard time digesting barbecue. Now I can neither lie down nor sit down."
"Why don't I rub it for you, and you won't feel uncomfortable in a while."
"I'm not a child, how can I be cured by just rubbing it twice?"
Ye Jintang took a slightly thicker soft pillow and placed it on the Luohan bed. She leaned over lazily and finally felt better.
"Then drink a few sips of strong tea. Tea can help wash away the oil and make you feel better."
Ye Jintang seemed to have heard of this method before, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The two sat together and started chatting.
What they talked about was what they would be busy with in the early spring of next year.
Before coming to Ningchuan City, all their plans were fantasies. After two months in Ningchuan City, they have a deeper understanding of the situation inside and outside the city, and their plans for next year are clearer.
"Most of the farmland saved by the Ke and Hua families is fertile land. We will plant wheat, corn, and cotton on them. We will first try to ensure that the people can have enough food and warm clothes."
"For those slightly less barren fields, in addition to growing grain, all of them should be planted with cotton. Regardless of the final yield, the cloth woven from the cotton can be sold for silver, which will earn more than directly growing grain."
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid that the cotton you planted will not yield any harvest."
"It's not a big problem. I asked the village head outside the city, and they planted cotton this way in previous years. Even in the mountains, cotton can produce cotton seeds."
"Can't we plant some fruit trees here?"
Xiao Mo shook his head.
“You’ve also seen that Ningchuan City is very cold in winter, and most fruit trees here cannot survive the winter. Now the only fruit tree is the Qingmu fruit, and it tastes a bit sour and not very delicious.
The so-called green wood fruit is a kind of green apple. It is sweet and sour when ripe. Ye Jintang feels that it is quite delicious.
However, there are apple branches in her space, so she could try planting some other varieties of apples later.
Apples are resistant to transportation. If they can be successfully grown here, it will provide additional income for ordinary people in the future.
"In addition to growing crops, we will also see if we can grow some fruit trees or other fruits. If we can transport them to other places and sell them, it will also bring in a lot of income."
"Yes, when spring comes, I'll take you to have a look around."
Xiao Mo knew Ye Jintang best. She had great planting skills. He still remembered the half-dead camellia in her room. He thought camellia was very delicate and would definitely not survive in Ningchuan City.
I didn't expect that on the way to Ningchuan City, the camellia flowers were becoming more and more energetic. Based on this, as long as Ye Jintang was there, the planting industry in Ningchuan City would surely develop rapidly.
