Shen Qiqi's eyes were fixed on the report in her hand, her brows twisted into a "川" shape, and her originally bright smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

"Although the output has increased, the quality..." she muttered to herself, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

The report shows that although the new method has indeed significantly increased the yield of corn, sorghum and potatoes, the taste and nutritional value of some crops have slightly decreased, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the original joy.

Seeing this, Lu Qing gently held Shen Qiqi's hand and gave her a comforting look.

“Don’t worry, Qiqi, let’s find a way to solve it together.” His tone was firm, like a reassurance pill, instantly soothing the anxiety in Shen Qiqi’s heart.

A warm current spread from Shen Qiqi's palm to her whole body. She took a deep breath and rekindled her fighting spirit.

Uncle Zhou, who was standing by, saw this and immediately seized the opportunity to say sarcastically, "I told you, this new recipe is definitely not reliable! The output has increased, but the quality is not good. It's all in vain!" He had a gloating smile on his face, as if he was waiting to see Shen Qiqi's joke.

Some of the villagers around who were originally full of expectations also began to whisper, with worried looks on their faces.

Shen Qiqi ignored Uncle Zhou's sarcasm. She knew very well that now was not the time to argue.

She quickly adjusted her mood, scanned the report in her hand with a determined look, and confirmed the data again.

"The taste and nutritional value have slightly decreased... slightly decreased..." She repeated these words over and over again, her brain working rapidly, and began to analyze the problem.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something key.

"I know what the problem is!" She raised her head suddenly, her tone full of excitement. "It's the fertilizer! It must be the fertilizer!"

Lu Qing looked at the glimmer in Shen Qiqi's eyes, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Fertilizer?" he asked doubtfully.

Shen Qiqi ignored his complaints and walked straight to the fertilizer pile, picked up a handful of fertilizer and examined it carefully.

"Just as I expected!" she said confidently. "There's nothing wrong with the fertilizer ingredients. The problem lies in the timing and proportion of fertilization." She turned to look at Lu Qing, her tone tinged with excitement. "In order to meet the deadline, we made some mistakes in the timing and proportion of fertilization. This resulted in a slight decrease in quality despite an increase in crop yield."

Shen Qiqi quickly calculated the optimal time and ratio for fertilizing and recorded it in detail.

Lu Qing silently assisted her and conveyed the adjusted plan to other villagers.

The two of them cooperated with each other so well that it seemed as if they were in perfect harmony.

Looking at Shen Qiqi's confident look, Lu Qing's eyes were full of tenderness, and his heart was filled with pride.

He knew very well what an excellent wife he had married.

Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's gaze and looked up with a gentle smile.

At this moment, the unpleasant smell of fertilizer in the warehouse seemed to become fresh, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

With the implementation of the adjustment plan, the crops that were originally slightly sluggish began to show new vitality.

The villagers' originally anxious hearts gradually settled down, and relieved smiles appeared on their faces.

Uncle Zhou looked at everything in front of him with a complicated expression on his face, including surprise and embarrassment.

A few days later, a new batch of corn, sorghum and potatoes ripened.

The grains are full, golden in color, and emit an enticing aroma.

The villagers couldn't wait to taste the newly harvested grain, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Qiqi is such a treasure!" "Yes, now we don't have to worry about not having enough food!" Praises came one after another, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of a good harvest, a discordant voice came from the east end of the village: "I don't think this new method is very good. The crops look good, but they taste..."

Shen Qiqi knew who the person was speaking with such a sarcastic tone without even turning around - Mrs. Lu, the undisputed spokesperson for "pickled fish" who couldn't stand seeing others doing well.

She curled her lips and turned to smile at Second Sister-in-law Lu. "Second Sister-in-law, what's up with you? Are you proficient in singing, reciting, acting, and fighting? Are you going to perform a magical show for us?"

Mrs. Lu was almost choked by Shen Qiqi's weird tone, and her face flushed as she said, "I...I was just...talking casually..."

"Oh, just saying it casually," Shen Qiqi stretched out the last syllable and smiled meaningfully, "Second sister-in-law's skill in saying it casually is really perfect. If you don't know, you would think you are the village announcer. The speed of spreading the news is amazing!"

The villagers around couldn't help but laugh, and Mrs. Lu was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Shen Qiqi stopped teasing her, clapped her hands, and said loudly: "Family members, I know some people may still be skeptical and think this new method is unreliable. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Instead of guessing here, why don't we go to the fields together to see what the harvest is like!"

When the villagers heard this, they responded one after another and followed Shen Qiqi to the fields.

Although Mrs. Lu was reluctant, she had no choice but to follow, fearing that Shen Qiqi would say something that would embarrass her.

When we arrived at the fields, we saw golden corn cobs, heavy sorghum ears, and plump potatoes piled up on the ridges like small hills.

The breeze brings the refreshing fragrance of grains, which is refreshing.

"My goodness, this output is too high!"
