"If you want to show off, just say so." Li Ruo really wanted to visit Black Wind Village, and with Director Xie personally acting as her guide, why not?
Xie Xiao handed him an oil-paper umbrella sideways, annoyed. "Take it."
When Li Ruo arrived, the rain wasn't heavy. She hadn't brought a raincoat or anything, but she smiled and accepted the gift, saying, "Thanks."
I wanted to ask you, but he's already gone ahead.
The newly appointed "Pig-Handling Master" (a nickname for a powerful figure) naturally followed suit.
Black Wind Stronghold can be summed up in one word: huge.
The paths crisscross, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard everywhere. Most importantly, there is no animal droppings scattered about. For this reason alone, it must be said that Chief Xie has done a good job managing things.
Xie Xiao took her to see the house, the warehouse, the granary, and finally the sheep pen, the pigsty, the cattle pen, and the horse stable.
There are thousands of horses in the stables.
Looking further ahead, there was a terraced field, and people were still cultivating it. The fourth leader said, "We are sowing wheat."
Seeing him frown, Li Ruo said, "With so much rain and not enough sunshine, there probably won't be much yield. Why don't you plant some other vegetables?"
The fourth leader asked, "What should we plant? In this awful weather, everything we plant will die."
Li Ru thought for a moment, "How about we plant some spinach?"
The fourth leader suddenly realized, "You mean Persian grass! That stuff doesn't need much sunlight, so it should be able to grow. When it gets cold, we can build a shed to block the wind and snow, and light a fire to keep warm."
Nowadays, the fourth leader talks about raising pigs and growing grain with great expertise, seemingly an agronomist whose talents were wasted on being a bandit.
Xie Xiao glanced at him and asked, "You have seeds?"
The fourth leader, who was eager to get started: ...
Li Ruo then recalled from the original owner's memories that spinach was an imported product at that time, and only wealthy families could afford to eat it.
But she had previously glimpsed in the space that there were not only spinach seeds, but also poppy seeds.
The newly recruited people on Ziyang Peak also had to rely on their own efforts, and planting was one of them.
"I bought a lot of seeds when I went down the mountain, including spinach. Consider it payment for the food that the boss is keeping an eye on Steward Liu for. I'll have Er Gou come and collect it from me tomorrow."
Xie Xiao chuckled, "You even thought of this? You can grow vegetables?" His gaze, which had been fixed on her slender fingers, quickly shifted away.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. When I was a kid, I grew vegetables with my grandma in our backyard. Maybe I was better at it than you." One year, he was punished by his commander for disobeying orders and was confined to the organization, where he spent a whole year farming.
Xie Xiao's eyes darted around. "Want to have a match?"
"What are we comparing?"
"Let's compare growing spinach," Xie Xiao said confidently. "We have the same number of seeds, let's see who can grow more and better spinach."
Li Ruo: "...Okay, that works too."
Xie Xiao smiled and said, "The loser has to promise the winner one thing."
