After a long day of hard work, Young Master Ning finally got some proper rest.
For the next two weeks or so, there was nothing particularly urgent to do, and Ning Ye basically lived a carefree, laid-back life.
However, Ning Ye, who was watching Zhang Zihe teach today, suddenly heard a report from a guard.
"Sir, there's been a problem in the fields. We hope you can go and take a look now."
Ning Ye raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, this person was someone he had specifically left behind at the farmland.
But what could possibly happen when the land has only been cultivated for less than two months?
Could it be that a natural disaster or man-made calamity is about to occur?
However, since there was something to be done, Ning Ye couldn't possibly not go and check. But when he got to the field, Ning Ye was dumbfounded. The sugarcane had only been planted for less than two months, so how could it have ripened so quickly?
The ten acres of sugarcane planted have already reached maturity, and it looks like they're about to overripe. If they're not harvested soon, it will be too late.
Ning Ye simply cut off a sugarcane stalk. Without even eating it, he could smell an extremely sweet aroma. The sugar content of this sugarcane seemed a bit too high.
Ning Ye divided the sugarcane into several portions and distributed them to the people and Liu Xiaowu beside him. "Come on, since it's all ripe, let's all try it and see if it's delicious or not."
Ning Ye put a piece in his mouth, and as soon as he took a bite, he felt as if his mouth was bursting with sweetness. Sweetness is something that can easily make people feel happy, and this feeling is indescribably wonderful.
Looking at the expressions of the others, they seemed to be completely immersed in this sweet happiness. How to sell it afterwards was no longer a question. Just one sugarcane might be enough to empty their pockets.
Liu Xiaowu said in shock, "Sir, where exactly is this sugarcane from? I've eaten sugarcane before, but I've never tasted anything this sweet."
Ning Ye said happily, "We'll have another way to make money in the future. Once sugarcane is turned into sugar, it will probably be even more popular."
Liu Xiaowu's eyes were fixed on the remaining half of the sugarcane in Ning Ye's hand. Ning Ye smiled and said, "Alright, there's still so much here. Don't be envious. Everyone who participated in planting the sugarcane can take some back. As long as it's not too much, I don't mind."
Although Ning Ye had already said that, everyone still kept to their own business, each only taking about ten or twenty portions, just so they could bring their families back to taste the sweet sugarcane.
Ning Ye stroked his chin, thinking that he had originally only wanted to make some white sugar, but with its current sweetness, it might be more popular if it were made into milk candy.
Moreover, the method of making milk candy is relatively simple. Besides, now that we have such high-quality glycogen, it would be a waste not to give it a try.
"These sugarcane must be harvested today. After they're harvested, put them all in the warehouse. You can get them for me when I need them."
After Liu Xiaowu saluted to indicate that he understood, everyone began harvesting the sugarcane in a great hurry.
Ning Ye turned and went to another place that sold rice, and found that his crops were indeed growing much faster than the others. It seemed that they would be fully ripe in at most another month.
Ning Ye really didn't expect that the seeds given by the system were not only of such high quality and high yield, but also grew at an astonishing speed.
If we could get more of these seeds, we wouldn't have to worry about food at all in the future.
Since he was going to open a new workshop, Ning Ye simply expanded the small village he had built before, specifically to make milk candy.
However, when Ning Ye wanted to find dairy cows, he was a little troubled because dairy cows were extremely rare, or rather, there were very few livestock of all kinds.
There was no other way, so Ning Ye had to make the trip himself. When Ning Ye rode his horse to Qingyuan County, he saw a caravan in the distance.
The convoy was flying the banner of the Weizhen Escort Agency, and judging from its equipment, the goods it was transporting must have been quite valuable; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have involved so many people.
However, Ning Ye was not interested in these things. In this era, anyone who could still run a security escort agency must have some skills. If he were to inexplicably offend them, it would be very bad.
After finding out exactly where the livestock trading took place in Qingyuan County, Ning Ye went there directly. When he arrived, he found that there were hardly any people there, and even fewer livestock.
After wandering around, Ning Ye didn't find any cows that could truly capture his heart. After all, they were all skin and bones, and even if they weren't, he didn't know how long it would take for them to produce milk.
Just then, Ning Ye heard a commotion. Not far away, a group of smartly dressed people were arguing with a horse trader.
Ning Ye wasn't interested in this at first, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a small figure there as well.
Isn't Bai Ling always by Old Master Bai's side? Why is she here today?
This place is quite a distance from the restaurant, and besides, how could Old Master Bai feel comfortable letting her come out alone?
Bai Ling stood timidly in the middle of the crowd, unable to get out even if she wanted to. How could these fierce-looking adults be so different from her older brother?
Just then, the group of镖局 (security escort agency) members got into a full-blown argument with the horse seller, and the two sides started pushing and shoving each other. In one accident, one of them lost his balance and was about to fall on Bai Ling.
Ning Ye didn't care about anything else and kicked him directly, sending him flying.
"Gentlemen, you can argue all you want, but you can't let it affect my child. Can you please go somewhere else and argue?"
A group of镖局 (security escort agency) personnel immediately turned their guns on Ning Ye, and the leader was actually a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Qu Fengling raised her head and said unhappily, "Even if this brother is one of ours, we didn't pay attention just now, but wasn't your kick a bit too hard?"
Ning Ye crossed his arms and said, "All I know is that if this guy really hits my little girl, it won't be something that can be solved with just one kick."
Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, Bai Ling grabbed Ning Ye's clothes and said, "Brother, don't argue, I'm fine."
