After settling into her new home, Du Yuhan began tidying up the vegetable garden in the backyard, at least preparing a few plots to plant garlic. As for the other vegetables, there was no rush.
Gu Qishen acted quickly, and on the third day he gave Du Yuhan the variety and quantity of the seeds she needed.
Du Yuhan was taken aback when she saw the order form Gu Qishen gave her. Good heavens, this first order was huge! Dozens of tons of just one type of product. This Brother Gu really has a lot of faith in her.
Little did she know that this was already a reduced number from what Gu Qishen had given. Gu Qishen, fearing to put Du Yuhan in a difficult position, didn't pass all the pressure onto her; he was looking for solutions elsewhere.
The person he sought help from was none other than Han Yixian.
Han Yixian came from Kyoto, and Gu Qishen happened to know him as well. Although they weren't close, they were friends.
Han Yixian's job in City C happens to be in the supply system, which gives him access to many resources. Furthermore, Gu Qishen is aware of Han Yixian's capabilities; if Han Yixian is willing to help, his burden will be greatly reduced.
Du Yuhan was unaware that she and Han Yixian had become the emergency helpers that Gu Qishen was looking for.
Looking at the list in her hand, Du Yuhan thought to herself that it was good that she had started preparing in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to gather even a fraction of these grains.
Du Yuhan knew that Gu Qishen urgently needed seeds, so she also bought some seeds from the space shop.
Du Zhuoyuan prepared enough potato and sweet potato seedlings, but Du Yuhan only prepared half the amount of grain seeds Gu Qishen required in her spatial storage. This was already quite good.
Du Yuhan prepared late this year, so the quantity of grain seeds is limited, but things will be much better in the future.
When Du Yuhan told Gu Qishen that sweet potato and potato seeds could meet his needs, and other grain seeds could meet half of them, Gu Qishen was so happy that he wanted to pick Du Yuhan up and spin her around a few times.
However, he didn't dare to put it into action yet and could only think about it in his heart.
Du Yuhan really solved a big problem for him this time.
The amount of grain being handed over this time was too large. Du Yuhan asked Gu Qishen to secretly prepare a large warehouse for her, and then gave her the warehouse key, telling her that the other party would secretly transport the goods into the warehouse.
She instructed Gu Qishen, "Brother Gu, the other party doesn't want their identity to be exposed, so your warehouse must be well hidden, and there can't be anyone monitoring it from the surrounding area."
Gu Qishen said, "Don't worry, I've already thought it through. There's an abandoned factory in the western suburbs of C City. The factory has several large warehouses, and because it's abandoned, there's not a soul in sight. I've already had it cleaned up. I only sent my own people."
You can have them deliver the seeds directly there. It's absolutely safe there; no one will find out. I'll personally drive you there later; no one else will know. Even the people who transport goods there in the future will be my trusted confidants; they won't leak the information.”
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look in a bit and familiarize myself with the terrain so I can explain things to them."
Also, I know it takes time for you to raise funds and collect antiques, so I've given you three months. You can owe me the money for these grain seeds for now; just pay it off within three months. This is my guarantee for you, so you can't cheat me out of it.”
Gu Qishen said, "Thank you, Xiaohan. Don't worry, I'll be able to pay off the debt in less than three months. I already have the funds to buy the seeds, and you only need a small portion of cash, so I can give you the money first."
As for antiques, I'll calculate the price based on the current market value. I've already collected some, and I'll send some to you in Laohewan Village in a couple of days.
Gu Qishen personally led Du Yuhan on a site visit, and Du Yuhan felt that the place was good and there were no safety issues.
The day after the location was finalized, Du Yuhan put all the grain seeds she had prepared for Gu Qishen into the warehouse. She also added some fertilizer so Gu Qishen could distribute some to his subordinates for use during spring planting.
Three days later, she told Gu Qishen that the goods had been delivered and gave him the key to the warehouse so he could check it himself.
Gu Qishen personally led a group to receive the items. Then, without any delay, he delivered the cash payment to Du Yuhan that same day, along with several boxes of antiques.
He also gave Du Yuhan the list of antiques and their prices, asking her to see if it was suitable.
How could it be inappropriate? Everything Gu Qishen collected was genuine; in Du Yuhan's eyes, the current price was dirt cheap. She accepted the discounted price directly as payment without any objection.
Gu Qishen was deeply moved by Du Yuhan's trust in him. Since this trip was rather rushed, he decided to find more good things for Du Yuhan in the future.
Du Yuhan accepted the antiques but only selected a few that weren't particularly valuable to pass on to Du Zhuoyuan for auction. She kept the rest.
She may hand over these items, which represent ancient culture, to the state in the future, or she may build a museum to collect them.
Time flies, and the busy spring plowing season has begun in City C.
In Northeast China, the weather warms up late and turns cold early, meaning only one crop can be grown a year. Therefore, this crop must be carefully tended; otherwise, there will be no harvest and everyone will go hungry.
Du Yuhan looked at the fertilizer quota allocated to the old river bend village, and realized it was far from enough, and there wasn't even enough farmyard manure. How could they possibly grow more grain? This wouldn't do.
She secretly approached Uncle Liang and said, "Uncle Liang, if the land isn't fertilized enough, it won't produce much grain."
Liang Shouzhen said, "The township only has so many fertilizer quotas, and some of them are fiercely contested by large villages. We're already lucky to have gotten these quotas. Besides, our village has been buying grain and tractors lately, so we really don't have the money to buy fertilizer."
As for manure, we're too far from the city and don't have any connections. Those villages with connections have already taken it all away.
Du Yuhan was speechless. These days, even cleaning toilets requires connections; otherwise, you won't get a chance. But there was nothing she could do; it was essential for farming in the countryside. They had no choice but to use these things since chemical fertilizers were unavailable.
Moreover, many older farmers do not believe in the effectiveness of chemical fertilizers; they only believe in this ancient farmyard manure.
Since Du Yuhan had already provided fertilizer to Gu Qishen, she figured she might as well go all the way and provide some to Laohewan Village as well.
Du Yuhan said, "Uncle Liang, how about this? I'll get you some fertilizer. You don't need to pay; you can exchange it for something else."
Upon hearing that he could exchange things for something, Liang Shouzhen felt more at ease and asked, "What do you need from what we have here? We can exchange anything for you."
Du Yuhan said, "The stuff isn't worth much, and it's everywhere."
"What is it?" Liang Shouzhen asked immediately afterward.
