Chapter 171 Jinjiang Exclusive

Usually the villagers go to the grocery store to buy things, which have all kinds of supplies, such as mushrooms, meat, grain, and fish.

But this time the mutated food accounted for a large proportion.

On average, each family spent more than 300 kilograms of grain, and the entire village brought in more than 15,000 kilograms of grain for Lu Xuan in one day.

Among them, in addition to upgraded biological clothing and air conditioners, various small household appliances account for the largest proportion and are the best-selling products.

The blind box products that Lu Xuan had previously recycled and processed were mainly large machines that the village had no use for, and he almost never processed small household appliances.

Because it's not cost-effective.

It’s different for the villagers.

On the surface, the price has dropped a lot, but in fact, the points earned from recycling the food are nearly ten times higher than the original price of the small appliances.

It's simply huge profits.

In addition to small appliances, hoverboards, as the most cost-effective means of transportation, are also selling well with prices dropping to the same level as upgraded bio-suits. Almost every household has bought at least one.

This profit margin is not as high as that of small household appliances, but it can still reach five times.

No one has come to buy the house yet, so Lu Xuan is not in a hurry.

Anyway, you have to buy it sooner or later, and then you can get hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, and the points you can redeem will be at least 100 or 200 million.

Lu Xuan sighed: "As expected, no matter what era, real estate is the most profitable."

A village of more than 50 households can make him so much money. If he expands his real estate business to the entire plane, let alone one battleship, ten...

Lu Xuan paused slightly when he thought about the price of ten warships.

Never mind, that's too far-fetched.

The disaster victims outside are not all as wealthy as the villagers of Yunlu Village.

If you really want to develop real estate, you must first make more people wealthy so that they can afford to pay.

Lu Xuan murmured, "We still need to plant more land."

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

[Since we know we need to cultivate more land, why is the village giving away so much in dividends? It's a huge loss!]

Today's income was high, but the goods I sold were mostly one-time deals, so I definitely won't see much profit later. Compared to the losses in the fields, it's a far cry.

[The streamer's harvest is less, so should our share of the lucky draw also be reduced? ]

【??? No! I've never won a prize before.】

[There are more and more people participating, but the prizes are getting smaller and smaller? Doesn't that mean the chances of winning are even lower!?]

[I don't understand the anchor's operation. In fact, even if you don't mention it, the villagers don't think there is anything wrong with the current profit-sharing method. Why do you have to lower the price?]

Lu Xuan said, "Even if we don't take the profit share, we still have the energy consumption of the air conditioner and the plant protection machine. Every month, each acre of land consumes at least 200 kilograms. Overall, the grain yield can still be maintained at 35%, which is not a small amount."

"Besides, the yield from the fields looks high, but in reality, a 50% dividend only yields a few hundred thousand kilograms of grain, and the points earned from recycling are only tens of millions, which is far from my goal of 10 billion."

[The anchor is really getting carried away. He doesn't even care about hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain???]

[But if you reduce your share, the gap will only get bigger! ]

[Could it be that the host is planning to restore the wood-type ability to accelerate growth and shorten the time it takes for crops to mature?]

[That's a solution. This way, production will at least double, and the 2% dividend can be restored to 40% in disguise. The difference isn't that big.]

Lu Xuan shook his head, "I don't plan to use supernatural powers to produce food on a large scale anymore."

He had even given up on the mass production of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, so how could he possibly let it grow and die in the fields again?

Even if two hundred acres of scrolls don't kill him, it would be tiring to consume them every day.

"I prefer to let others roll up rather than consume myself."

Lu Xuan said, "The village has such a small population and limited production capacity. We should take a longer-term view and have a bigger vision."

The audience in the live broadcast room was puzzled: How far is it? How big is it?

Lu Xuan said meaningfully: "The population of the village is not large, but doesn't the Huo family army have more than 3,000 people?"

With so many people right under our noses, how could we not do something about it?

When he dealt with the Wei family before, he deliberately wanted to see Huo Tiankuo's reaction.

If the other party is trying to smooth things over or is too careless, then there is naturally no need for further cooperation.

But Huo Tiankuo drove the man out without hesitation. He acted decisively and had a clear distinction between love and hate, which made Lu Xuan admire him very much.

He is a person of respectable status, strong ability and clear-headedness, and is exactly the kind of person he wants to trade with.

So before it was too late, Lu Xuan sent a message to Huo Tiankuo.

·

Huo Tiankuo never expected that Lu Xuan would contact him on his own initiative just two days after they separated.

The purpose of the contact was to invite him to visit Yunlu Village.

He had long been curious about Yunlu Village, so without saying a word, he brought six personal soldiers and followed Lu Xuan, who had come to pick people up, to Yunlu Village.

The seven people saw the houses that looked even more exquisite than the buildings in the city at first sight, and their eyes showed obvious surprise.

However, when Lu Xuan deliberately parked the car near the greenhouse and saw through the transparent glass the lush green crops growing very well inside, which should not appear in winter, the attention of Huo Tiankuo and the other seven was diverted.

Huo Tiankuo's eyes were full of disbelief.

Those are crops!?

It's so cold, and there's heavy snow outside. How can Yunlu Village grow so many crops without freezing to death?!

There is such a large glass house, even the royal family can’t get it, how did Yunlu Village get it?

The personal guard who followed him kept rubbing his eyes and muttering, "Am I dreaming?"

Someone else pinched his thigh fiercely, "Shh! It hurts, is this not a dream!?"

Lu Xuan had anticipated that they were most interested in the greenhouse, so he said, "Let's go inside and take a look."

Huo Tiankuo naturally would not refuse.

The group followed Lu Xuan into the greenhouse. A gust of hot wind blew towards them, and Huo Tiankuo and others, who were already shocked, were startled again.

“So warm!”

"How can it be so warm in there!"

"General Huo!"

The villagers, led by the village chief, who had received the news in advance and were waiting in the greenhouse, came over excitedly.

The eyes of the villagers who had never seen Huo Tiankuo were shining.

This is the living General Huo!

If the disaster hadn't happened, they would never have had the chance to see it in their lifetime.

Huo Tiankuo suppressed his inner shock and greeted the village chief and other villagers, exchanging a few pleasantries.

Unexpectedly, in just a few moments, I started sweating.

It’s really hot!

If it weren't for the heavy snow falling outside, one would almost forget that it is the coldest time of the year.

Huo Tiankuo couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so hot here?"

Without waiting for Lu Xuan to answer, Li Tie said enthusiastically, "The glass greenhouse itself is good at keeping warm, but the main reason is because it has air conditioning."

Li Tie pointed to the vertical air conditioner placed in a corner of the greenhouse and said, "The air conditioner can adjust the surrounding temperature at will. It can cool in extremely hot seasons and heat in extremely cold seasons. It is a treasure that Lu Xuan got from the immortal."

Huo Tiankuo and the other soldiers' eyelids twitched.

Another immortal?

For the Huo family army, who never believed in ghosts and gods, the statement of Yunlu Village was really suspicious.

While Li Tie was explaining, he took them to the nearest air conditioner, and the group felt the hot air blowing out from it firsthand.

Now they have no choice but to believe it.

After all, apart from something belonging to immortals, they really couldn't think of who else could come up with such an incredible treasure.

Li Tie continued, "Because the cost of building greenhouses is relatively high, we have only cultivated 200 mu of land. In addition to the dozens of mu here, there are more than 100 mu on the two nearby hills, and greenhouses have also been built on them."

The Huo family army's personal soldiers took a breath.

Two hundred acres of greenhouses? What a grand undertaking.

Huo Tiankuo was also a little embarrassed.

Before the disaster, the royal family also had special greenhouses and hot spring villas used to grow off-season vegetables, but they were limited to green vegetables.

The quantity is so small that it can only be supplied in small quantities to the royal family and aristocratic families. The grain in high demand cannot be grown out of season.

Yunlu Village planted 200 acres in one go, and they still called it "only"?

Now that there is no one from above to collect taxes, most of what they grow belongs to themselves. Even if they only harvest two or three hundred kilograms of grain per acre, they can still get 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of grain!

No wonder they could easily donate thousands of kilograms of supplies to them, Yunlu Village is really rich!

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Li Tie continue, "The crops we grow here are all mutated varieties improved by immortal arts. The yield far exceeds that of ordinary crops. The average yield per mu of various crops exceeds 1,500 kilograms!"

"What!?"

"1500 jin? Are you serious?"

Huo Tiankuo and his personal guards cried out in shock again.

How can there be so many!?

Li Tie grinned and said, "Of course it's true. We have received it several times."

The other villagers around also nodded.

"During the hottest season, we only planted 80 mu (approximately 16 acres) of crops. The yield wasn't very high then, and the least-poor families could only get 700 to 800 kilograms of grain and vegetables."

"But during the rainy season, we expanded the scale and reclaimed 200 mu. Every family can get at least 2,000 kilograms, and some can get more than 4,000 kilograms!"

Li Tie said: "The general also saw the mutant radish and cabbage we donated to the Huo family army before. They were so big, how could the yield be so low?"

Huo Tiankuo nodded subconsciously.

The yield of cabbage and radish is already relatively high. If the heads are that big, a huge increase in yield is inevitable.

Including the sweet potatoes, which were much sweeter and bigger than any he had eaten before!

But if this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the actual farmland yield in Yunlu Village is several times higher than he expected?

One harvest can yield hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain! ?

Huo Tiankuo felt that none of the stimulation he had ever received in his life was as great as today.

Li Tie said with emotion, "We are able to have this day thanks to Ah Xuan. The improved seeds were all accomplished by his wood-type abilities. He also bought us greenhouses, air conditioners, and all the immortal treasures."

Huo Tiankuo looked at Lu Xuan who was standing aside with a relaxed expression, and was once again shocked by his ability.

He thought that the huge vines displayed by the other party that day were Lu Xuan’s biggest trump card, but now it seems that it is just the tip of the iceberg?

"Wait." One of the guards suddenly realized something was wrong.

"When you say the extreme hot season, you mean the two months of drought at the beginning, right? And then there were the floods that followed. It's only been two weeks since the famine began. How many harvests have you actually managed?"

Do crops mature so quickly?

When talking about this, Li Tie's chest straightened even more.

"That's a lot. We harvested three times in the hottest season alone, and twice in the rainy season."

If it weren't for the delays in the extremely hot season and the early rainy season, they might have been able to harvest at least one more time.

“So many times?”

Huo Tiankuo looked astonished. "I've collected it five times in less than half a year. Doesn't that mean I can collect it once a month?!"

How is this possible!

In the past few months, I was either extremely short of water or had too much water.

Either way, it is obviously not an environment suitable for crop growth and is enough to cause all crops to fail.

But not only did Yunlu Village not have a complete harvest, but they were also harvesting grain like crazy?

This is outrageous.

Li Tie nodded. "Almost. Mutated crops grow much faster than ordinary crops. There's a large waterfall not far from where we first settled, so there's no shortage of water. We also have many other ways to beat the heat."

Later, during the rainy season, and now the extreme cold season, there are ways to avoid disasters, so the crops are not affected, and naturally we can harvest as much as we want."

Huo Tiankuo looked at the air conditioner and believed that Li Tie was not biased towards him.

Yunlu Village might have many other methods that he didn't know about.

But, if we harvest grain once a month, wouldn't that mean we can harvest it 12 times a year? So the total output...

Huo Tiankuo couldn't help but feel shocked.

【Hahaha, I'm so shocked that I'm questioning my life.】

This is the disparity of the world.

[Harvesting hundreds of thousands of kilograms of natural food at once is something I wouldn't even dare to imagine.]

[Forget hundreds of thousands of pounds! Even if I were given a few hundred pounds, I'd go downstairs and run naked around the neighborhood ten times.]

【Not to the extent that it is not ....】

Looking at the Huo family army, the impact they have suffered has just begun.

Afterwards, Li Tie showed them the operation of the plant protection machine and explained its uses.

With just a little energy, this magical tool can replace manual labor to complete all the weeding, watering and fertilizing work!

So not only can they harvest so much food, but they also don't have to work hard on the farm for it?

What kind of magical day is this!?

Lu Xuan, who had been silent the whole time, saw that the village chief was having a great time talking, and said, "It will take another half month for the crops in the fields to mature. General Huo can come and visit again then." It's also okay if he wants to help with the work.

"It's worth your while to come here today. The mushroom house and orchard next door are just harvesting. Are you interested, General?"

Mushroom house?

There are also fruit trees! ?

Huo Tiankuo was shocked and nodded without hesitation.

…

Unlike the bright and vibrant greenhouse, the light in the mushroom house is relatively dim, the greenhouse material is made of blackout glass, and the air is obviously more humid.

Although there is no lush greenery like a greenhouse, the rows of mushrooms growing well give Huo Tiankuo and others another kind of visual shock.

When they arrived, the women in charge of picking mushrooms had already started working, and there were several baskets full of mushrooms beside each row of shelves.

“Lots of mushrooms!”

"Don't mushrooms only grow after rain? How could you plant so many of them artificially?"

"How many mushrooms can we harvest at one time?"

The personal soldiers, greatly excited by the grain harvest, asked questions repeatedly.

Lu Xuan said: "Every seven days we can harvest 2,500 kilograms, and the monthly output is 10,000 kilograms."

Huo Tiankuo and his group: "!!!"

Monthly output of 10,000 jin! ?

It was the first time they heard that something as small as mushrooms could be counted in tens of thousands of kilograms.

With so many mushrooms, the people in Yunlu Village could probably eat their fill just by eating mushrooms!

Li Tie said in a strong and encouraging tone, "We've grown a kind of 'meat mushroom' that tastes almost the same as meat. General, you guys should stay for a quick lunch at noon and try it for yourself. I guarantee you'll like it!"

Listen, while they are still struggling to make ends meet, the people of Yunlu Village are just trying to satisfy their appetites!

The more Huo Tiankuo thought about it, the more he felt that he was doing really badly.

·

When we arrived at the mutant fruit forest full of fruits of various colors, we were shocked again.

The fruit in the orchard should have been ripe two days ago, but because Lu Xuan encountered the Huo family army and was delayed for a few days without transferring his supernatural powers, it is a little late.

In order to "entertain" Huo Tiankuo, Lu Xuan publicly transmitted his last supernatural power to all the fruit trees, ripening all the fruits that were on the verge of maturity.

Seeing the fruits on the branches grow bigger and smelling the rich fruity aroma, Huo Tiankuo and his group opened their mouths in shock.

Huo Tiankuo was mainly shocked by seeing with his own eyes Lu Xuan's ability to stimulate plant growth.

Several bodyguards couldn't help swallowing madly.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the food here is so fragrant and sweet!

In the past, there were no wild fruits to eat in the military camp all year round. Who would have thought that during the snowstorm, we would see so many big and fragrant fruits?

After ripening all the fruits, Lu Xuan did not kick them like he did before, but chose to use his wind ability to directly use the wind to shake the entire orchard.

With the rustling sound of the trunk and branches shaking violently, the fruits on the tree fell into the large plastic box placed under the tree, and in the blink of an eye, they piled up into small hills.

Of course, not all fruits are suitable for this picking method.

Strawberries, watermelons, grapes and other fruits that you don’t want to be damaged still need to be picked by hand.

Lu Xuan let Huo Tiankuo and his group experience the fun of picking, and told them to eat as much as they wanted.

The fruits he and Huo Tiankuo and the other seven picked were all mutated fruits.

Purple grapes that can't be put into one mouthful, strawberries as big as an adult's fist, and watermelons so big that you need to hug them with both hands. Each taste is the pinnacle of the same variety.

Huo Tiankuo and the others were a little hesitant at first, but after tasting the fruit, they obviously couldn't control themselves. They ate faster and faster, their eyes shining brightly.

The audience in the live broadcast room followed the fruit show while making sour comments:

[These soldiers got a taste of the mutated fruit that strengthens their bodies right off the bat. It's a huge win!]

[It's not fair! Why can we only eat fake food, but they can eat the real thing!]

[The host is so generous to entertain guests with mutant fruits! ]

After all the fruits were picked, Lu Xuan left some as subsidies for the elderly and children, and put the rest into the space.

This was the first time Lu Xuan saw someone taking something out of thin air in public.

Huo Tiankuo's pupils shrank when he saw this.

Is this why supplies can be readily available in a makeshift camp?

Huo Tiankuo had also read some strange stories when he was young. Combining this with what the village chief had been telling him about immortals, he guessed that this might be the immortal's mustard seed space?

·

Afterwards they visited the vegetable garden, saw countless leafy greens, picked some cucumbers and tomatoes to taste, and took a look around the cattle shed.

When Huo Tiankuo saw the cattle raised in Yunlu Village, his first reaction was that farming would definitely be much easier.

But as soon as this idea came to mind, the plant protection aircraft flying around in the greenhouse came to mind.

Huo Tiankuo: “…”

I almost forgot that Yunlu Village doesn't need cows to cultivate the land. It is said that even turning the soil is done by Lu Xuan using his wood-related supernatural powers.

So these cows are raised for meat?

Li Tie said, "Lu Xuan brought all the cattle back from the grassland. Besides raising them for the village, he also killed quite a few for himself."

In other words, they have no shortage of beef to eat.

Huo Tiankuo was puzzled, "Then why are these cattle raised...?"

If they don't work and don't eat meat, isn't that just a waste of a lot of feed?

He saw that the feed the cattle and sheep ate was fresh bean dregs.

When food is scarce, bean dregs are also a good food for people.

Li Tiedao said, "Of course, you can drink it by squeezing milk! You can also mix it with tea leaves to make milk tea, or add some fruit juice to make fruit milk. They are both delicious."

Huo Tiankuo: “…”

I watched as several women in the village actually went over to milk the cows, and someone even went to the chicken coop next door and picked up a basket of eggs.

The overly leisurely pastoral scenery made Huo Tiankuo feel as if the famine did not exist at all.

All I can say is that the life in Yunlu Village is too separated from them and other disaster victims.

When Huo Tiankuo saw the ten-acre lotus pond full of pink lotus flowers, this thought became stronger.

…

When leaving the planting and breeding area, Huo Tiankuo's fluctuating emotions finally eased a little.

He thought that today's visit should have come to an end.

As a result, Li Tie enthusiastically invited them to watch the children attend class.

We are currently having a Chinese class.

After more than 20 days of study, the children have mastered all the pinyin and started learning the improved versions of Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic.

In addition, Lu Xuan also asked Xu Wenzhe to tell some mythological stories such as Nuwa mending the sky, Houyi shooting down the sun, and Nezha making trouble in the sea to expand extracurricular knowledge.

Li Tie told Huo Tiankuo what classes the children would take.

Mathematics, first aid knowledge, actual combat, and natural sciences that sound magical.

The guards were already shocked to learn that the children in the village had the leisure time to read and learn to read, and they were even more astonished when they discovered that the content they taught was so rich.

“You actually learned so much!?”

Especially the first aid knowledge and natural science, which are very interesting to listen to. Even Huo Tiankuo is very interested in listening to the lectures.

Lu Xuan looked at the sky and said, "There will be opportunities later. It's almost noon, why don't we go eat first?"

…

Lunch was naturally served at the Lu family.

Sitting with them were the village chief, Ge Yuan, Old Man Zhang, and Lei Yan.

The dishes were somewhat different from those when we first entertained Mr. Miao and the others. Many of them were warming dishes suitable for winter, as well as seasonal pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, the stir-fried meat and mushrooms mentioned by the village chief, and beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, which you couldn't get outside.

Each dish is very large in portion, ensuring that Huo Tiankuo and his group will have a full meal.

At first, Huo Tiankuo, who felt that he was already half full in the orchard, wanted to restrain himself a little.

But I haven't had a decent meal for half a year, and the dishes the Lu family brought out were richer than those in a restaurant. I couldn't stop eating and couldn't restrain myself at all.

When I came to my senses, the whole table of food was almost cleared.

Huo Tiankuo was still feeling a little embarrassed, but with Lu Xuan's question, his attention was immediately diverted.

Lu Xuan asked him, "General, what do you think after seeing our village's assets?"
