Then she should give in a little!
After a long pause, the system responded.
[Okay, this system approves!]
"Can I see what's in the system shop now?"
Ideally, there should be crops that can ensure the people of Daxia have enough to eat and wear!
Just like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which have high yields per acre, and cotton, which can be used to make warm clothing.
Buying through the system's online store is undoubtedly much more convenient than buying it in this world.
Song Lan thought to herself.
The reason for this was, of course, the restriction of ration coupons.
In other words, there is a shortage of supplies!
【Can. 】
The system responded.
Song Lan lay back on the bed, and soon, the system panel appeared in her mind. Then the system shop appeared on the panel, but the items inside were not cheap.
Well, the prices of everyday goods in this world are actually lower than those sold by supply and marketing cooperatives.
When Song Lan saw the price of the sweet potatoes, she was so shocked that she didn't say a word for a long time.
One hundred kilograms requires merit points.
If you buy sweet potato seedlings, you'll need to donate points for every thousand seedlings you buy.
Potatoes are priced similarly to sweet potatoes.
Potatoes are planted by cutting them into pieces, while sweet potatoes are planted whole or propagated by cuttings.
However, the yield per acre is quite considerable.
Song Lan was secretly amazed and decided to buy, buy, buy!
The Great Xia Dynasty did not have crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. The background of the Great Xia Dynasty was equivalent to the early Han Dynasty in this world, and the people had very few kinds of grains and vegetables to eat.
If potatoes were planted in Daxia, one mu of land could yield at least twenty shi (a unit of dry measure). Even if it yielded only ten shi per mu, it would be an auspicious sign for Daxia. The people would surely be overjoyed and weep with joy when they found out!
One stone in Daxia weighs approximately 120 jin.
Ten shi, or 1200 jin, is still quite remarkable compared to the 1 to 4 shi of grain grown in summer. Even if the yield of potatoes is only ten shi per mu, it is still quite remarkable!
The system provides planting instructions for each crop, but these instructions are in simplified Chinese characters.
Can planting instructions be directly converted into clerical script?
If it can be converted, that would be best; if not, she can simply rewrite it herself in clerical script according to the planting instructions.
【Can. 】
The system answered very concisely.
"Then please convert all the planting instructions into clerical script for me."
The script used in Daxia is clerical script. Based on this, Song Lan thought of converting the planting instructions to avoid Daxia's relatives not being able to understand them.
[Conversion complete. Host can place an order now.]
"I want potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and cotton. Buy them at the base price first..."
Song Lan also purchased several other vegetable seeds, such as chili peppers and eggplants, so that they could be planted directly once her relatives in Daxia received them.
The time difference between the two steps is not large. It is not yet the end of October here, and it is probably the same in Daxia.
"Send the items to my grandfather's residence in Divine Healer Valley. Oh, and I'll write a letter to my grandfather and my parents now; you can send them to them together later..."
After hesitating for a moment, Song Lan asked, "Could you send the letter to my parents to my father's study? I'm afraid my grandfather is away doing medical outreach and won't be back to Shenyi Valley for a long time. If the letter is sent there and not discovered in time, it will inevitably spoil and cause a loss."
The system took a while to respond.
[Ten merit points will be deducted.]
"Okay, go ahead and deduct it!"
She had quite a few merit points. Suddenly, Song Lan thought of something and asked, "I have already cured two people's headaches here, and I am currently treating a couple's infertility. Do I get any merit points for that?"
Yes. However, the merit points you've accumulated in this world so far have already been converted into energy for this system.
“I know, otherwise you would probably still be in hibernation by now.”
Song Lan didn't dwell on it.
She got out of bed, pulled the light cord, and the room instantly became bright.
Sitting down at her desk, Song Lan took out a stack of letter paper from the drawer, picked up her pen, and began writing a letter to her family.
Little did she know, someone was speaking ill of her.
"Don't even think about going back to your room to rest until you give me a proper explanation tonight!"
It was almost 9:30 p.m. In Han's parents' house, the couple looked pale and helpless as they looked at their daughter, Han Bailan.
"If I don't want to rest, then I don't want to rest. I'll just skip work tomorrow."
Upon hearing what Han's mother said, Han Bailan casually replied.
Do you even have a brain?
Han's mother raised her voice: "You clearly promised me before that you would apologize to Qingbin's sister properly, but not only did you not apologize that day, you also got into a dirty mess with that girl. Are you trying to make your father and me angry to death?"
"For your sake, your dad used his seniority to speak well of you to Qingbin last time..."
"I didn't ask my dad to go!"
Han Bailan interrupted her mother.
Are you complaining that your dad and I are meddling in other people's business?
Han's mother never expected that her daughter and her prospective son-in-law would have another conflict, especially because of her prospective son-in-law's sister. However, Han's mother knew that the root of the problem lay with Han Bailan, but she couldn't get any answers from her daughter.
To put it simply, she couldn't understand why Han Bailan kept picking on Song Lan!
Here it's worth mentioning that on the day Song Qingbin and Han Bailan returned to town from Song Lan's house, after get off work in the afternoon, Song Qingbin did not go to Han's house as Han Bailan had asked, and he did not go to Han's house for the next few days either. Even when Han's father personally invited Song Qingbin to his house for dinner after get off work, Song Qingbin politely declined with various excuses.
The prospective father-in-law and son-in-law were colleagues and superiors/subordinates at the grain station. Even if Han's father was slow to notice, he could sense the change in Song Qingbin's attitude towards him—from warm and polite to respectful but distant.
Without much thought, Han's father knew that the problem was most likely with Han Bailan, but from yesterday to today, Han Bailan only talked about the faults of others and never thought that she was wrong, let alone why she was targeting Song Lan.
Mr. Han was so angry that he felt suffocated and didn't know what to say. He could only rely on his mother to talk to Han Bailan and find out the root of the problem.
"I don't."
Han Bailan didn't dare look at her father. She said to her mother, "I don't resent you and Dad. I know you meant well, but I really don't know what I did wrong. That day I did think about apologizing to Song Qingbin's sister."
To my surprise, I was stopped in the middle of the courtyard. Without a word, Song Qingbin pushed his bicycle and left. "Why don't I go with him? Would I just stay there and annoy everyone?"
"I can't believe what you're saying!"
With a serious expression, Han's mother said, "Why would that young girl stop you in the middle of the yard for no reason? She must have done something wrong first, right?"
"What did I do wrong? I...I'm a grown man, I know what it means to be sensible!"
Han Bailan complained, her tone tinged with grievance: "Mom, stop calling me a little girl. Song Qingbin's sister looks about my age, she's not a little girl at all. Besides, she's already married, she should be called a woman or a young woman!"
Han's mother: "You and Qingbin are about the same age, and Qingbin's sister is even younger than his second brother. There's nothing wrong with me calling her 'little girl'."
"I'm clearly almost two years younger than Song Qingbin, why are you saying we're the same age? Mom, I'm your daughter, don't you dare side with outsiders!"
Han Bailan expressed her dissatisfaction.
