"Um, excuse me, I wanted to ask, if I have to hand over 50%, how do I do that?"
"It's very simple. Just weigh the grain and put it here," he said, pointing to a small stone platform.
"But how am I supposed to weigh it? I don't even have a scale."
The newcomer looked Zuo Qingya up and down, "It's impossible that there's no scale."
"I really don't have a scale."
"When you collect your items, they're in the storage bag; it's impossible for them to be missing."
"are you sure?"
"How could this be fake? Take a look and you'll see."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Zuo Qingya rummaged through the storage bag and was surprised to find that there really was a scale inside.
After taking out the scale, Zuo Qingya suddenly realized that she didn't know how to use it.
"Um, I wanted to ask, do you know how to use this? Could you teach me? I'm not very good at it."
“Sure.” He took the scale from Zuo Qingya and said, “It’s very simple. Just put what you want to weigh on it, and it will automatically weigh out the right amount of food.” As he said this, Zuo Qingya saw the scale divide the package into two parts, and the weight was just right.
"Okay, that's it."
Zuo Qingya nodded. "It feels pretty advanced, huh?"
"That's natural."
"If you are out of seeds now, you can get some from the seed bank."
Zuo Qingya nodded and bowed, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely go and collect it."
After everyone left, Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected that as soon as her grain was ripe, someone would come over, and that they would even detect it.
"Does that mean someone will come every time the grain is ripe?" Zuo Qingya thought it was quite troublesome. Couldn't they just store more grain before coming?
Zuo Qingya sighed and looked at the other seedling. She hadn't expected the spirit stone to be so useful. It had made the seedling live so quickly and even grow strong and mature, producing a bag of grain. It was quite rare, but compared to her own rare seeds, it was really nothing.
The seeds we receive can only grow white rice. It doesn't seem right for someone to eat white rice every day.
Zuo Qingya looked at the half-bag of rice in her hand, thought about it for a while, and then opened it, took out a pot and started cooking. The aroma filled the air.
Zuo Qingya scooped up a spoonful, took a bite, and immediately felt refreshed. This feeling was really good, like lying on a cloud, warm and comfortable. She could feel that the mark on her forehead seemed to like this feeling.
Is it to recharge the mark on his forehead?
However, it is true that you feel full.
Zuo Qingya filled a bowl with rice and started eating. Although it was dry and tasteless, it would have been better if she had some pickled vegetables.
Thinking about this, Zuo Qingya wondered if she could grow some pickled mustard greens and try it?
Zuo Qingya took out her intermediate-level rare seed and started planting it. Sure enough, the seed grew into a packet of pickled vegetables, just as she had imagined.
"Pickled vegetables with rice is really delicious, it's incredibly tasty."
But what's with this person who appeared in front of me?
"Your grain has been detected as ripe. You have not paid 50% of the tax. You now need to pay 50%."
"But I planted my own seeds, why do I have to hand them over?"
"Article 102 of the sect rules stipulates that 50% of the grain grown within the sect must be handed over to the sect."
"There are such rules?"
"Yes, we should check the rules from time to time so that we don't accidentally break any rules without realizing it."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Okay."
"I planted two bags of pickled mustard tubers. Can I give this bag to Shenzong?"
"Pickled mustard tuber? What's that?" the visitor asked, puzzled.
"Haven't you ever seen anything edible?"
The person who came shook his head and said, "Never seen him before."
"That's too tragic. You've never even eaten pickled mustard greens before?" Zuo Qingya said, picking up a piece of pickled mustard greens and putting it to the person's mouth.
The aroma wafted to his lips, and he swallowed hard. He took a bite, and it was so delicious that he almost wanted to swallow his own tongue. He felt his mouth watering.
"This is delicious! Is it a new variety you grew?"
"Huh???" Zuo Qingya scratched her head. "Hehe, right?"
"Take a look at rule number 6."
Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Huh? Why am I looking at that?" Even as she said this, Zuo Qingya still took out the book of sect rules and looked at the sixth rule.
"If you successfully cultivate a new variety, you can claim a reward within the Divine Sect."
Is this real?
"Yes, it's true."
Zuo Qingya asked somewhat shyly, "Um, may I ask you where I can pick it up?"
The newcomer frowned and said, "You don't even know this?"
Zuo Qingya scratched her head and said, "I just ascended here, so I don't know much about it."
The newcomer looked Zuo Qingya up and down, "Didn't you carefully check the storage bag you received when you picked up the items?"
"??? Check what?"
"It's the storage bag you received."
"Oh, okay, it's my first day of ascension, I'm still a bit confused, I haven't had a chance to look yet."
"Take a look when you have time."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Okay, I will read it."
"That's fine then."
After everyone left, Zuo Qingya began to open the storage bag she had received, and found a map of the Divine Sect inside.
"No wonder that person looked at me with that strange gaze, so that's why." Zuo Qingya patted her head.
Following the location on the map, Zuo Qingya was surprised to find that she actually had a navigation map.
This arrow is so useful!
Zuo Qingya followed the direction of the arrow and finally arrived at the place, where she saw the words on it.
Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, we didn't get lost."
Suddenly, feeling homesick, Zuo Qingya sighed, "I wonder how Mom and the others are doing?"
Zuo Qingya looked a little dejected as she entered the thatched hut, where an old man was sitting.
Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and politely asked, "Old man, can I receive a reward here if I grow a new variety?"
Upon hearing that it was a new variety, the old man perked up and sat up.
"show me."
Zuo Qingya handed the packet of pickled vegetables in her hand to the old man.
"Give."
The old man actually took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the packet of pickled mustard greens. He nodded and said, "It is indeed a new variety." Then he opened the packet of pickled mustard greens directly.
My eyes lit up the moment I took a bite.
"It's delicious, but a bit salty."
Zuo Qingya quickly said, "Old man, you can eat it with rice, it's a perfect match."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up. "Okay." He took out a bowl of rice from his space, mixed it with pickled vegetables, and started eating. He nodded. "It is indeed quite good, but it's a bit dry."
"Um, you can add some water to the rice and eat it with the pickled vegetables later, it will taste even better."
Hearing Zuo Qingya say this, the old man hesitated, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, this is really delicious."
"As long as it tastes good."
"Yeah, you'll see when you try it, it's really delicious."
