Chapter 220 The yield is so high, Madam Xiao must have obtained high-yield seeds
Xiao Ying was surprised. Is there really something he wants?
"Just tell me, I will give you whatever I can."
Xiao Jin was quite excited and a little embarrassed. It was the first time that Xiao Ying saw him so shy, which made her even more curious.
"This subordinate, this subordinate wants to learn some skills from the master... I saw that Brother Lingyun has a talent for drawing talismans, so I want to see if I can learn it."
"Of course, you don't have to draw talismans, anything else will do."
He looked at Xiao Ying expectantly. In his heart, there was nothing his master couldn't do.
At least he was sure that his master knew how to draw talismans, refine pills and set up formations.
These things are a secret among the immortal cultivation families. Even though he is the number one gold medal killer in the Dark Night Pavilion, he has never dabbled in them.
But he knew that his master was not a person who was content with what he had. He had taught Ling Yun how to draw talismans so casually. He had also called Xiao Tian to join him when he set up the formation and even intended for Xiao Tian to learn. That was why he dared to make such a request.
"I didn't expect you to be so studious."
Sure enough, Xiao Ying was not angry at all, but rather very happy.
She really wanted to pass on these skills, but so far, only Ling Yun had the talent for drawing talismans, which made her helpless.
Now that Xiao Jin wants to learn, she naturally won't refuse.
"I know a little bit about alchemy, weapon forging, talismans, formations, and beast taming. I'll take you to the Immortal Mansion for testing to see if you have the corresponding talent."
Among these, she is most proficient in alchemy, followed by formations, and she only has a slight talent in the others.
But later on, as I became stronger, I had more time to study, and slowly I learned some things.
Xiao Jin was immediately delighted, his master had indeed agreed!
He said that the master was omnipotent and could even refine weapons and tame beasts. It was really incredible!
"Thank you, Master, for your help!"
He knelt down on the ground excitedly and kowtowed several times.
Regardless of whether he has talent or not, he is already very grateful that his master is willing to give him this opportunity.
Xiao Ying smiled and looked at Xiao Sheng and Xiao Fu, only to see that both of them looked envious.
"What about you two?"
The two shook their heads at the same time. They were not monks, so they really couldn't think of what they wanted.
As for silver, there is actually no shortage of it. The savings accumulated over the years amount to at least several thousand taels.
As for martial arts, they have to hone their skills slowly, but now with the spiritual spring water to drink, their improvement speed is much faster than before.
Xiao Ying thought for a moment, and suddenly two long swords appeared in his hands.
"In that case, I will give each of you a sword. This is not an ordinary sword, but a low-grade magical weapon. Although you cannot bring out its true power, it can still be regarded as a divine weapon for you."
Xiao Sheng and the other man's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were extremely surprised. They stared at the two swords with fiery eyes.
"Master, are you really going to give this to us? Isn't it too wasteful?"
Xiao Sheng's voice was trembling with excitement. He wanted it very much, but felt that he was not worthy of it.
Shouldn't such good things be left to the monks?
Xiao Fu nodded in agreement and licked his lower lip unconsciously.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "If you don't want it, forget it."
"Yes, I want it!"
Xiao Sheng and the other two immediately became anxious. How could they not want it? The master couldn't go back on his word.
Xiao Ying stopped teasing them and gave each of them a low-grade magic weapon. He had plenty of them anyway.
Today's reward is also an incentive.
"Thank you for the reward, Master!"
The two men immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to express their gratitude, and held the sword in their hands reluctantly.
"Everyone, stand up." Xiao Ying said, "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you successfully complete your mission today, I will reward you. If you make mistakes in the future, I will also punish you severely. I hope you will all remember this."
"I will remember the master's teachings!"
The three of them lost their joy at the same time and looked serious.
"Well, you two go down first. Xiao Jin, follow me into the Immortal Palace."
Xiao Ying waved his hand, then disappeared with Xiao Jin.
Next, she conducted various tests on Xiao Jin, but the result was regrettable. Xiao Jin only had some talent in setting up formations.
With this little bit of talent, he could probably only set up some basic formations, but Xiao Jin was already very happy.
So Xiao Ying first taught him the simplest defensive formation, which was the one arranged around the house, but it was simpler than that one because the one around the house also incorporated an offensive formation.
Xiao Jin studied very hard, but his talent was not high and his progress was very limited.
Fortunately, he was patient and stayed in the fairy palace that day, vowing not to leave until he learned it. Xiao Ying had no choice but to let him go.
After teaching Xiao Jin, she went for a walk down the mountain.
The people at the foot of the mountain were harvesting crops. It turned out that these people had been brought in for a month and a half, which was more than four months according to the speed of time inside. It was indeed time for the first batch of crops to mature.
Seven crops are planted on these more than 100 acres of land, with rapeseed and pepper being the most common, each covering 30 acres.
The yields were unexpectedly high, especially for potatoes and sweet potatoes, which yielded tens of thousands of kilograms per mu, making everyone smile and exclaim in amazement.
As agreed before, Xiao Ying was going to take away 70%, and the people were all happy with it.
Even if they leave 30%, they won’t be able to finish it in one or two years!
It’s easy to deal with the leftovers. Xiao Ying buys them at the outside price, and every household can earn dozens of taels of silver.
The harvested chili peppers are just right for making spicy oil and spicy sauce, while the vegetable oil is mainly used to make soap and perfumed soap.
A total of 9,000 kilograms of vegetable oil was handed over and purchased, which can be used to make more than 100,000 yuan.
At present, the quantity requested by Ruyi Restaurant is not too much, so there is a lot of oil left, but when the quantity requested increases in the future, it is estimated that the price will be the same.
There is no need to buy oil from outside, so the cost can be kept very low and you can earn more.
While the crops were being harvested in full swing in the Immortal Mansion, the harvest season also arrived outside, and every household began to harvest rice.
Because the river canal was widened and drainage was carried out in time, Chenjia Village did not suffer much loss this year and could harvest at least 200 kilograms per mu.
In the past, everyone would have been delighted, but after experiencing the high yield of potatoes, they were beginning to dislike the low rice yield.
At this time, the output of Zhao Daqing's family stood out. It was more than 700 kilograms per mu, which was incredible!
The villagers surrounded Zhao Daqing's family and asked them if they had used some unknown method. Zhao Daqing's family smiled bitterly and said that their previous yield per mu of land was only more than 200 kilograms.
He was also shocked by the current high production.
"It must be a problem with the seeds. Madam Xiao must have gotten high-yield seeds from somewhere!"
Chen Jie quickly came to the conclusion, feeling both unbelievable and extremely excited.
Madam Xiao has changed a lot in the past few months. Since she can produce 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms of potatoes per mu, it seems not impossible to get some high-yield rice.
If these high-yield rice varieties can be promoted, people will no longer have to replace rice with cheap millet, corn and black flour, and every household will have surplus food.
Although potatoes are good, people are still more accustomed to rice and noodles, and will not use potatoes as staple food unless absolutely necessary.
In his opinion, this high-yield rice is more important than potatoes.
The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He immediately took the villagers to Xiao Ying's house to ask her if she could sell them the rice as seeds for next year.
