The space trembled slightly, followed by the sound of the space steward announcing good news.
Congratulations, Master! You have successfully unlocked Level 2 item categories. Level 2 item categories mainly consist of crops and fruits that do not exist in this era, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn, peanuts, and strawberries. These will bring you greater value. Please continue your efforts and may your wealth increase greatly.
Then Qiao Lian'er saw that these options had been added to the list of plantable species.
She chose to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts, and after thinking about it, she also planted chili peppers.
As for strawberries, she wanted to eat them, but she didn't have enough coins to unlock the orchard yet.
We'll use fertilizers, pesticides, and growth promoters. Tomorrow, we'll harvest a batch of these newly planted crops, which will be ready to be sold.
The next morning, after harvesting several dozen kilograms of each crop, Qiao Lian'er frowned; it was a bit less than she had expected.
With the same amount of auxiliary medicine applied, and within the same timeframe, the yield of first-level crops can increase by several hundred kilograms.
After reading the instructions, she realized that if she continued to use the previous auxiliary medicine, the growth of level 2 plants would be slow. If she wanted to produce in large quantities, she would need to upgrade the auxiliary medicine, which would require a lot of gold coins to unlock.
Qiao Lian'er kept all the first-level crops planted, as they had large areas and high yields, which could continuously generate gold coins for her. This would make it much easier to unlock the auxiliary medicines needed for second-level crops.
The price of a level 2 item is several times that of a level 1 item. Once production increases, gold coins will pour in, which will be enough to prepare for unlocking higher-level items.
The amount of gold required for advanced items is ridiculously high; you could spend years earning enough gold from level 1 items to unlock them.
Although each crop yields only a few dozen kilograms, that's more than enough for today.
Mrs. Wan got up early and steamed meat buns for everyone. The buns had thin skins and lots of filling, and the aroma was so delicious that it went straight to your soul.
She had faint dark circles under her eyes, but seeing everyone enjoying the meal, a smile appeared on her face.
"Everyone says not to make steamed buns or mantou, but to get up early to let the dough rise. Look at you, you don't get enough sleep. We should make them together during the day when we have time." Old Mrs. Qiao said with heartache.
“Mother, this is a one-time thing. They’re going to set up a food stall in the county town. These buns are round and big, which symbolizes completeness and good fortune,” Wan said.
Her heart was warmed. After so many years of marriage into the Qiao family, Old Mrs. Qiao had treated all three of them, her daughters-in-law, like her own daughters.
Seeing that they were preparing to leave, Grandma Qiao packed the remaining meat buns into her luggage, handed them to Da Meng, and gave them instructions.
"It's good if we can make money, but don't worry if we can't. Our family doesn't lack money or ways to make money right now."
"Grandma, even though that's what you say, I have a feeling we're going to make money today," Qiao Xiaomeng said.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The Qiao family still doesn't know what they're going to sell; they can only wait until they pack up and come back.
Inside the carriage were newly purchased iron pots and stoves, charcoal, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, basins, buckets, bamboo baskets, a small table, a few stools, and some bowls and chopsticks, so that guests who couldn't take the food with them could leave it to eat.
Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage steadily out of the village.
Da Meng and Xiao Meng were initially a little worried, but they were surprised to see how well Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage.
“Don’t underestimate Lian’er. He’s been practicing driving the carriage these past few days and is almost a pro,” Qiao Zhizhi said.
Da Meng scratched his head: "Our little sister Lian'er learns everything so quickly."
Driving the carriage to the county town was a challenge for Qiao Lian'er.
