Over time, some strange little things began to happen in the planting area.
Rong Lin and Meng Yuqing squatted at the edge of a vegetable field, looking at it with serious expressions.
"Are you talking about this place?" Meng Yuqing asked.
"Yes, it's right here." Rong Lin's expression was serious, as if something extremely serious had happened. He said slowly, "The vegetables in this field grow exceptionally fast. Vegetables that usually take about fifty days to grow can be grown in just thirty-five days here."
"And the vegetables in this plot of land are growing exceptionally well, but I asked the person in charge of this plot of land, and he said that he takes care of it just like any other plot of land, without any special attention."
Meng Yuqing folded his hands over his chest and said, "We have to find the reason. If we can apply it to other fields, our yield can increase by at least another third. The most important thing is to see if we can apply it to rice and wheat. These two kinds of food are also very useful to the orcs, and they are the ones who eat the most."
"Well, I'll come and look after this land myself when the time comes." Rong Lin immediately became excited when he heard that the yield could be increased by one third.
Although the orcs must eat meat to increase and maintain their strength, the things found in the fields can still be used to fill their stomachs.
And even if Qingshan City cannot consume so much, they can still exchange it with other tribes through the market.
Although he did not participate in the expansion of Qingshan City's power, it did not mean that he knew nothing.
As long as there is enough food, even if it is not meat, many tribes will stand on the side of Qingshan City.
It’s a pity that the orcs have to eat meat if they want to become stronger, otherwise the land in Qingshan City would be enough to feed the entire population of Qingshan City.
After all, the strength of orcs who grew up eating vegetables and orcs who grew up eating meat is very different.
Just as the two were studying the land, Zhuo, who was off work, came over and saw the two sub-beasts squatting next to the land where he often spent the night and whispering something. He stopped and moved his fingers guiltily.
Sensing someone approaching, Meng Yuqing turned around and saw Zhuo standing there awkwardly. He looked at where he and Ronglin were squatting, which was right in the middle of the path. It seemed that they were blocking someone's way.
He smiled and pulled Ronglin two steps to the side, then continued to look at the field worriedly.
Zhuo felt even more guilty now. He approached Meng Yuqing and Rong Lin and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything wrong with this land?"
Meng Yuqing glanced at Zhuo, thinking that since he was a tree beastman after all, he might have unique insights into vegetable plots. So he said, "The vegetables in this plot are growing exceptionally fast and well. We're trying to figure out why."
Zhuo carefully observed their expressions and noticed that both Meng Yuqing and Rong Lin were frowning. He then asked softly, "Growing fast and well, isn't that good? Why don't you look very happy?"
"But we need to know the reason." Meng Yuqing said.
"Why?" Zhuo asked.
"Once we know the reason, we can find ways to apply it to other fields so that the vegetables in other fields can do the same," Meng Yuqing explained.
Hearing Meng Yuqing say this, Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ronglin and Meng Yuqing, feeling a little hesitant.
Seeing Zhuo's expression, Meng Yuqing knew that he must know something, so he asked, "Why do you look like that? Your beast form is a tree. Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhuo looked a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said, "I've been spending the nights next to this piece of land recently."
…
"Then what?" Meng Yuqing asked, but he already had a guess in his mind.
"I...sent them some nutrients at night..." Zhuo smiled at the two of them, but his expression was a little awkward.
Hearing what Zhuo said, Rong Lin instantly widened his eyes and looked at him. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled by Meng Yuqing. He glanced at Meng Yuqing and squatted back down.
Meng Yuqing touched his chin, then looked at Zhuo meaningfully and said, "So you can make plants grow faster and better~"
Looking at his expression and listening to his tone, Zhuo felt a chill on his back for some reason.
This is really strange. He is a tree beastman. How could he suddenly feel cold on his back? He doesn’t even feel cold in winter!
Before he could figure out what was going on, Meng Yuqing suddenly stood up and walked in front of him with a bright smile on her face. Zhuo was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from Meng Yuqing.
"You're feeding these vegetables nutrients and the time they need to grow is reduced by a third."
"Do you know how much one-third is?"
"Don't you know? It's okay, I'll give you an example."
…
Meng Yuqing grabbed Zhuo, fearing that he would run away, and chattered nonstop, leaving Zhuo stunned.
"Are you interested in living in Qingshan City permanently?" Meng Yuqing finally asked this question slowly.
"Huh?" Zhuo was still a little confused. "We've lived here for a long time."
Meng Yuqing shook his head. "I mean, you send people to live with us all year round."
Zhuo glanced at the vegetable patch and said, "You want these vegetables to grow faster and better?"
"Yes." Meng Yuqing did not deny it. "If you help, then the success rate of my plan to grow vegetables in winter will be much higher."
Hearing this, Zhuo was stunned, "Growing vegetables in winter?"
Meng Yuqing looked at him, showing his big white teeth, "Anyway, I definitely have a way, you can think about it carefully."
After saying that, he pulled Ronglin away.
As for the people from the Black Tree Tribe, they didn't initially intend to come to Qingshan City.
After all, they are all natives of the South, and they have been the top leaders in the South for so many years. Moving to Qingshan City will still have an impact on Qingshan City becoming the top leader in the South.
It is easy to mistakenly believe that Qingshan City has become so powerful because of its association with the Black Tree Tribe.
But after a series of events this year, even the Black Tree Tribe and the Yellow Stone Tribe were pulled in to work for Qingshan City, and Qingshan City's position as the number one city in the south was firmly established.
No one will think that Qingshan City’s first place is fake and depends on others.
After returning home and looking at the empty house, Meng Yuqing curled her lips, added some food to Xiao Huang's bowl, and ate something casually to make do with it.
On the other side, Zhuo, who had taken root next to the vegetable patch, was thinking seriously about Meng Yuqing's words.
When the second season of rice could be harvested and winter wheat could be planted again, Xuan returned with the orcs.
The flying orcs of Qingshan City saw them from afar and quickly flew back to tell everyone the news.
