Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow. Was Chief Wu going to say "but" again, without even finishing his sentence?
"But what?" Ye Yunxi asked softly.
"However, I want the PhDs in the planting area to learn how to grow vegetables from you. The potatoes and sweet potatoes you brought before were indeed tastier than those grown in the base."
The potatoes and sweet potatoes grown at the farm are all crisp and don't taste very good. The potatoes and sweet potatoes you grow have a slight sweetness and are all mealy.
"What do you think? Alternatively, I won't charge you for the land; I'll just give you two plots. Half will have to go to the base, and the rest you can use for your own consumption, or you can exchange it for other things. But I'll also need to teach a few professors planting techniques."
After listening to what the base commander said, Fu Heng turned to Ye Yunxi and nodded, indicating that cooperation was possible.
When Ye Yunxi saw Fu Heng nod, she thought to herself, "That cunning base commander, he was setting a trap for them."
However, she didn't care. She was going to grow vegetables to exchange for gold anyway. Since the base manager had said so, and even found someone to help her look after the vegetable garden, it would be better for someone to work with her than for the few of them to do it.
Ye Yunxi pretended to be very embarrassed and said.
"Alright, let's do as Chief Wu says. Give us two plots of land, and I'll teach you the technology."
When Commander Wu heard Ye Yunxi say this, he was just waiting for her to say it, and he clapped his hands happily.
“Okay, then let’s write a contract, stamp it, and certify that we are giving you two plots of land, and you will be responsible for teaching the technology.”
Base Chief Wu called Zhou Yuan over, wrote out the contract, and had it stamped for them.
While waiting, Commander Wu chatted with Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng for a while.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yuan came over with the written contract and its official seal.
The contract was made in duplicate. Ye Yunxi and Base Chief Wu stamped and signed it, which meant the contract was effective.
Commander Wu looked at the signed contract with a smile, then turned to Zhou Yuan and said.
"Assistant Zhou, take Xiao Ye and Xiao Fu to check out the land. If it's suitable, we can start construction in the next couple of days."
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng bid farewell to Commander Wu and followed Zhou Yuan to the location of the land.
She wanted a place closer to the villa so it would be convenient to travel back and forth and she could get there promptly if anything happened.
Ye Yunxi told Zhou Yuan her thoughts.
“Uncle Zhou, I want some land near my home. When we came here, we saw a vacant lot.”
Zhou Yuan could understand Ye Yunxi's statement.
"Okay, let's go take a look over there."
Zhou Yuan knew they hadn't driven, so he borrowed the keys from Base Chief Wu and drove them to see the land.
They arrived at the parking lot, Zhou Yuan drove, and Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and Chen Zhe got in the car. Zhou Yuan then drove them towards the land.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Yuan drove Ye Yunxi and the others to an open space. Zhou Yuan parked the car, and they all got out.
Ye Yunxi saw that the land here was all empty, covered with weeds. It seemed that she would have to ask the base chief to find someone to clear the weeds before starting to plant anything.
It's close to her home, only a ten-minute walk away. Ye Yunxi was very satisfied with this piece of land; they had seen it earlier when they came out for a walk and were also planning to buy land here.
Ye Yunxi turned to Zhou Yuan and said.
“Uncle Zhou, we’ll take this plot, but it’s overgrown with weeds. We need to have Chief Wu find someone to clear the weeds before we can start planting. We’ll also have the chief call the professors over to help with the planting.”
It's just teaching planting, right? Anyway, she doesn't have any special skills to teach. All she needs to do is add a few drops of spiritual spring water to ordinary spring water.
Zhou Yuan nodded. "Okay, I'll go back and ask the base commander for instructions later."
After discussing the matter, Zhou Yuan said goodbye to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng and drove to the base commander's office.
After Ye Yunxi and the others saw Zhou Yuan off, Fu Heng looked at Ye Yunxi and said...
"Xixi, I'll have to trouble you from now on. I can't usually help you much, but if anything happens, you can talk to me."
Ye Yunxi smiled at Fu Heng. "What nonsense are you talking about? We're family."
Then he turned to Chen Zhe and said.
“Ah Zhe, starting today, these two plots of land are ours. After the weeds are cleared, you will start learning to farm with me. When I'm not around, help me protect these places.”
Although the base chief had said he would find someone to help her guard the vegetable garden, she still wanted to remind Chen Zhe that since she had taken him in, he had to work hard.
Chen Zhe immediately replied after hearing what Ye Yunxi said.
"Sister Xi, don't worry, I will complete the task assigned to me well."
I didn't expect Sister Xi to trust me so much. Just now, the base leader said he wanted to find someone to help guard the vegetable garden. I guess Sister Xi is worried about them, so she asked me to guard the vegetable garden carefully.
Regardless, now that I've already pledged my allegiance to Brother Heng and Sister Xi, I need to work hard to live up to their expectations.
Ye Yunxi nodded in satisfaction at Chen Zhe's attitude.
Little did she know that these words brought hope to Chen Zhe, nor did she know what Chen Zhe was thinking. If she had known, she probably would have despised him to death.
Ye Yunxi turned to look at Fu Heng. "You go to work first. I want to go see Yunzi later and see how its training is going."
