Chapter 11

"Reporting to the host, Hong Feng's hidden talent for farming has been activated. She can continue with the first additional mission: Rescue and Nurture the Female Supporting Character."

Ye Jinxiu turned to look at Hong Feng. The cool autumn breeze blew past. He saw Hong Feng squatting slightly, her legs at a ninety degree angle. She held the hoe tightly with both hands and was working hard to dig the sweet potatoes.

Her posture was very standard, but Ye Jinxiu's focus was not on her posture, but on her face.

After watching for a few minutes, Ye Jinxiu realized that Hong Feng had a faint smile on her face.

Was she really that happy digging sweet potatoes?

Or was it that Hong Feng not only had the talent for farming, but also liked farming from the bottom of her heart?

"Farming talent?

Could it be that Hong Feng is a descendant of Shennong? "

"Host, is there something wrong with your brain?"

What the hell was a descendant of Shennong?

Ye Jinxiu wiped the sweat off his forehead. "There's nothing wrong with my brain, but there's something wrong with yours."

"The system has no brain."

"Oh."

It was too childish to argue with the system. Ye Jinxiu couldn't be bothered to argue with it. He turned to look at Hong Feng, then put down the hoe and walked over in a few steps.

"Hong Feng, let's go over there and sit for a while."

It was really a case of someone sending a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy. Ye Jinxiu was thinking of buying land to start a farm. If Hong Feng really had the talent for farming and liked farming, then it couldn't be better.

Hong Feng was pulled away by Ye Jinxiu to put down the hoe. She looked at Ye Jinxiu blankly. "Sis, aren't we going to dig the sweet potatoes anymore?"

"Yes, we'll dig later."

The two held hands and walked to the shade of a tree. Ye Jinxiu took out a water bottle and drank a mouthful of water, then handed the bottle to Hong Feng.

Hong Feng took the water bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Ye Jinxiu took out a towel to wipe the sweat off his neck. He smiled and asked, "Hong Feng, do you like farming?"

"Yes."

Hong Feng answered Ye Jinxiu without hesitation.

She liked the land very much and had an inexplicable obsession with it. Every time she stood on the land, she would think that if the land she was standing on was hers, she would definitely plant the entire land full of food.

She liked farming and harvesting grain.

Unfortunately, her grandfather's family only had a total of about ten mu of land, and they only planted two crops every year. Every time, she couldn't do what she wanted to do on the land.

Hong Feng was already fourteen years old. In this era, a fourteen-year-old girl could already be considered a big girl.

Ye Jinxiu thought about it and asked, "I want to contract the wasteland to grow food. What do you think?"

Hong Feng's eyes widened. She grabbed Ye Jinxiu's hand and said, "Sis, I can help you farm. I don't care if it's 10 mu or 100 mu, I can do it for you."

At this time, Hong Feng was extremely excited as if he had eaten chicken blood.

Ye Jinxiu caressed her back. "Do you really like farming?"

"Yes!"

Hong Feng answered Ye Jinxiu without hesitation again. She was afraid that Ye Jinxiu wouldn't agree, so she begged, "Sis, I can do it. I'm the one who grows all of Grandpa's land. The grain I plant grows quickly and well. Grandpa's family harvests more grain every year than other families."

"Sis, let's contract the land. I can do it!"

Hong Feng shook Ye Jinxiu's hand. She looked up and secretly observed Ye Jinxiu's expression.

Of course, they had to contract the land. Ye Jinxiu was considering how much land to contract.

Before Ye Jinxiu could sort out his thoughts, the village chief and his family arrived.

The village chief's wife had said that she would come over to help Ye Jinxiu harvest grain. As soon as she finished harvesting her family's grain, the whole family immediately brought their tools over to Ye Jinxiu's side.

"Miss Xiuxiu."

The village chief's wife called out to Ye Jinxiu from afar. Ye Jinxiu hurriedly went over to greet her. "Auntie, have you finished harvesting your family's grain?"

"Yes, they've all been harvested."

The village chief's wife walked straight ahead. The village chief and his sons hurriedly went to the fields as if they were harvesting their own family's grain.

The guests had all gone to work. As the host, it wasn't appropriate for them to continue resting.

Ye Jinxiu picked up a hoe and walked towards the fields. Hong Feng blinked a few times. She didn't know what to think, but she hurriedly followed Ye Jinxiu.

"Sis, about contracting the land …"

Ye Jinxiu stopped in his tracks. After Hong Feng caught up, Ye Jinxiu whispered in her ear, "Hong Feng, I'll be relying on you in the future."

In other words, she had already decided to contract the land.

Hong Feng was overjoyed. She raised her chin high. If she had a tail, it would probably be up in the sky.

"Sis, I'll farm for you for the rest of my life."

It was the first time that Hong Feng had said something so mushy. As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately ran away. Her small face was red from her forehead to her neck.

Ye Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh. He carried the hoe and walked forward slowly.

"Uncle Village Chief, I want to ask you something."

Since she had decided to contract the land, she had to understand the situation of contracting the land in Yeh family Village.

The village chief froze. After a few seconds, he turned around and asked, "Go ahead."

Only a peasant like Xiuxiu would have the mood to chat during the busy farming season.

Fine, since she wanted to chat, he would chat with her.

The village chief took out his tobacco pipe from his pocket and took two puffs. His gaze fell on Ye Jinxiu.

Ye Jinxiu asked directly, "Uncle Village Chief, can we contract the land in our village?"

The way the village chief looked at Ye Jinxiu changed. He had just received the notice that they could contract the land and met Ye Jinxiu asking about it. He couldn't help but wonder if Ye Jinxiu had also received the notice.

"Yes, we can."

"That's great!

Uncle, how do we contract the land in our village? "

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette. After a few words, he understood some things.

The Yeh family had an uncle who was an official. That uncle was in charge of the entire southern part of the city. With such an uncle, it wasn't strange that Ye Jinxiu had received the notice of contracting the land.

After understanding these twists and turns, the way he looked at Ye Jinxiu changed. He patiently explained, "The country encourages us farmers to engage in household contracting. However, household contracting is only a concept at the moment. There are no relevant documents.

Do you want to contract the land? "

Ye Jinxiu nodded. "I want to."

The village chief's gaze became more affectionate. "It's good to contract the land. We farmers rely on the land to make a living. We won't panic if we have the core of the land.

How much do you want? "

If it wasn't a lot, as the village chief, he could make the decision to contract the land to Ye Jinxiu.

Ye Jinxiu raised a finger. "100 mu."

"How much?"

The village chief was so frightened that his hand trembled. The tobacco pipe in his hand slipped through his fingers and fell to the tip of his foot.

It was frightening. Ye Jinxiu asked for 100 mu. Wasn't he being too arrogant?

Ye Jinxiu smiled and said, "Uncle, I want to contract 100 mu. Can I?"

Seeing that she was determined, the village chief gulped and said, "I can't make the decision. I'll help you ask."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Xiuxiu, contracting land is not cheap now. If you want to contract 100 mu, you'll have to pay at least a few hundred yuan a year."

Ye Jinxiu had made some money recently. Although it wasn't 50 billion, it was still a few thousand yuan.

"Uncle, don't worry. Since I said that I want to contract the land, I'll definitely be able to pay."

The village chief secretly guessed that his uncle might have given Ye Jinxiu the money. That person was not an ordinary person. With his support, Ye Jinxiu could even contract 1000 mu of land, let alone 100 mu.

"Okay, I'll help you ask tomorrow."

With the help of the village chief's family, the work that would have taken a week was completed in two days.

Ye Jinxiu transported the grain to the grain drying field to dry. After the grain dried, she took the initiative to ask the village chief's wife about buying sweet potatoes and peanuts.

The nouveau riche father often said that a person who didn't keep his word was worthless. Since she had promised the village chief's wife that she would go to her house to collect the goods after the grain was harvested, she had to do it.

Sweet potatoes were very cheap. It only cost her two yuan to buy 2000 pounds of sweet potatoes.

Looking at the yard full of sweet potatoes and taro, Ye Jinxiu's mind became active again.

When she was in university, she met a very interesting senior. Her senior was very particular about health. She didn't eat vegetables that were out of season, inorganic food, or takeout.

Influenced by her senior, she started to live a healthy life. However, after coming here, she hadn't thought about it for a long time.

Thinking of her senior, she immediately thought of the various dried fruits and vegetables sold online. It was bad enough that a small bag of dried fruits and vegetables didn't taste good, but it was also very expensive.

Since she had a yard full of sweet potatoes and taro, why not introduce coarse grains as well?

Since she wanted to do it, Ye Jinxiu took the sweet potatoes, taro, and some vegetables and hurried into the kitchen. After five days of research, she made a few things.

She claimed that it was a healthy food with no additives or preservatives. Everything had to be eaten within two to three days.

Because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell it, she only made 500 bags of it. Each bag was about one kilogram. She planned to sell it for 200 yuan each and named it the coarse grains gift bag. Each gift bag contained half a kilogram of dried taro, half a kilogram of dried sweet potatoes, and half a kilogram of dried sweet potatoes.

Just as she sent the coarse grains gift bag to the Sifang Delicacies, someone came to the house.

"Miss Xiuxiu, are you at home?"

It was the village chief's voice. Ye Jinxiu hurriedly put away her virtual phone. "I'm at home, Uncle. The door isn't closed. You can come in directly."

She hurriedly walked out, and when she reached the door, she bumped into the village chief who was entering the house.

"Uncle, is there any news about the land parcel?"

She welcomed the village chief into the house. The village chief pulled out a chair and sat down. Ye Jinxiu served a cup of tea and then sat beside the village chief.

"There is news. The higher-ups said that you can lease the land. However, you can only lease barren land at the moment. If you want to lease 100 mu of land, you have to pay 200 yuan a year."

200 yuan was not a lot to Ye Jinxiu, but to the village chief, it was a large sum of money. He wasn't sure if Ye Jinxiu would find the contract too expensive and refuse to lease the land.

"Uncle, when can I sign the contract for the land lease?"

The village chief had a lot on his mind. "You can sign it tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll look for you tomorrow."

The village chief still had to report to the higher-ups that Ye Jinxiu was leasing the land. He chatted with Ye Jinxiu for a while before leaving.

After the village chief left, Ye Jinxiu walked back to her room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed.

Just now, she had only sent the coarse grains gift bag to the Sifang Delicacies. She didn't have time to set the price and change the stock.

She labeled the coarse grains gift bag as "no preservatives" and wrote that it was best to finish it within two days.

She priced the gift bag at 200 yuan a bag and had 500 bags in stock.

Modern

Lin Susu was the head of the vegetarian club. In addition to managing the vegetarian club, she was also responsible for recommending all kinds of delicious vegetarian food to the club members.

The Sifang Delicacies dried sweet potatoes that she had recommended previously were very well received. One person spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and in just five days, the club registered 500 new members.

In the past, the club only registered 200 new members a year. However, the Sifang Delicacies had broken the club's record.

Lin Susu firmly believed that the Sifang Delicacies were the club's lucky star. They were an existence that could allow the club to grow and develop.

The annoying thing was that the owner of the Sifang Delicacies was a weirdo. He hadn't updated the store for ten days to half a month. He didn't even care that all the products in the store were sold out. It was as difficult as buying a train ticket during the Spring Festival. It was even harder than that.

As usual, she clicked on the Sifang Delicacies homepage. When she opened the homepage, she saw the words "sold out" in bright red.

Suddenly, the homepage quickly swiped up. The Sifang Delicacies had updated!

Lin Susu felt that her soul had left her body. She used her soul to quickly click on the purchase page and quickly submit the order.
