Chapter 75
Perhaps because of the map, the fog surrounding the land now dissipated, revealing a straight dirt road.
Hua Sisi walked along this road for about twenty minutes before arriving at the village chief's house.
"Sisi, you're back."
The village chief was an old man with gray hair and wrinkles all over his face, and he looked kind and gentle.
His house is a mud house with a yard in front of it. The left side is filled with various fertilizers, and the right side is filled with seeds and tools.
It's a store with a relatively complete range of products.
The old man’s surname is Qin, and the villagers affectionately call him Village Chief Qin.
Seeing her coming, the old man smiled and said, "I heard that you chose to come back to farm. I guess you'll need a lot of things. If you like anything here, please take it."
[Get new member benefits and choose one item for free from the village chief.]
Hua Sisi struggled for a long time between seeds and fertilizers, but finally, thinking of the Yaocao she was planting, she chose fertilizers.
She took a bag of the most expensive fertilizer.
[Jinkela Fertilizer: Just a little use can shorten harvest time by 12 hours.]
After seeing that she had made her choice, the village chief smiled and pointed at the farming tools.
"Won't you take another look at these?"
Hua Sisi shook her head. "I'd like to, but it would cost money."
She just looked at it and found that the bag of fertilizer in her hand alone cost 100 farming coins, and she only had 50 farming coins at the beginning. She couldn't even afford a bag of fertilizer, let alone tools that cost hundreds of dollars.
The village chief didn't force her. "Okay, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. If your land yields any plants, you can sell them to me. But I only take Yaocao and Immortality Fruit."
Hua Sisi nodded. She took the bag of Jinkela fertilizer back to her land, opened the bag a little, and carefully sprinkled a little on the land.
At first, there was no response from the ground, and she thought there was a malfunction, so she poured it over again, not believing it, and this time the time above finally changed.
[Yaocao (Immature): 22 hours, 54 minutes, and 58 seconds left to mature.]
Probably shortened the time by an hour.
Hua Sisi continued to spread fertilizer. She calculated as she spread it and found that about a quarter of the amount could shorten the fertilization time on her land by 12 hours.
It seemed that she could still use fertilizer, so she used another quarter of it, and the grass that had just emerged in front of her grew rapidly under her eyes.
The font above his head changed from time to the word "mature".
【Please harvest the plants in your land! 】
The leaves of the Yaocao are layered like a girl's skirt. Small yellow flowers bloom among the green leaves. The fruits of the flowers are very similar to those of the dodder. If you don't look closely, it looks like a little man growing out of the soil.
So cute!
This was the first time she had grown something with her own hands.
Hua Sisi squatted down and carefully stroked the edge of the yellow flower.
A soft touch came from her fingertips. When she touched it, the flower swayed slightly, and she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.
【Like, touch more.】
Hua Sisi was startled. She withdrew her hand quickly and looked around in confusion.
There was no one around. Who was the one who heard that voice in my mind just now?
She was puzzled, and after searching for a while, she finally cast an incredulous gaze at the Yaocao in the ground.
After hesitating for a while, she finally reached out and touched the Yaocao again.
【Think, drink water.】
The voice in her head came again, and Hua Sisi immediately confirmed her thoughts.
Oh my god, even plants can talk these days.
Hua Sisi stayed there for a long time before accepting this fact. She squatted down and touched them one by one with great patience.
Eight Yaocao plants can be planted in a field, and each of these eight Yaocao plants wants something different.
Some want to be touched, some want to drink water, and some want to bask in the sun.
Because she didn't have a kettle, Hua Sisi looked around and finally found a broken water pipe and a rusty faucet in the corner.
[Damaged Faucet: Requires 20 Farming Coins to repair.]
【Do you want to pay? 】
Hua Sisi clicked OK with a painful heartache, and then saw that her balance had dropped from 50 to 30.
Water immediately flowed out of the repaired faucet, and she held the end of the water pipe to water one of the Yaocao plants.
Yaocao is swaying left and right in the water. If it had expressions, it would probably be jumping for joy now.
【(≧≦)】
Hua Sisi thought these Yaocaos were simply adorable.
She caressed them lovingly, hesitant about whether to harvest them or not, because they were so cute that she didn't really want to harvest them now.
However, thinking that she only had 30 farming coins on her, Hua Sisi finally gritted her teeth and picked them off.
[Harvest 16 Yaocao plants.]
Hua Sisi took the Yaocao and returned to the village chief's house.
"Village chief, I'm here to sell things."
The village chief was not in the yard, so Hua Sisi shouted and the old man slowly walked out of the house.
"Sisi is so amazing? She harvested plants so quickly?"
The old man noticed the rare herbs in her hand with his sharp eyes. He took them, looked at them for a moment, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the quality of this Yaocao is very good. It seems that you have a talent for farming."
Hua Sisi said sweetly, "Then it has to be your fertilizer, village chief."
The old man was coaxed into relaxing his brows and after thinking for a moment, he gave a price of 15 Tian coins for one plant.
The 16 planting coins were finally sold for 240. Hua Sisi was very happy to see the balance in her account jump from double digits to triple digits. She said a few sweet words to the old man and then turned the topic to Yaocao.
"Village chief, what is the use of this Yaocao? Why did you buy so much of it?" she asked in confusion.
"You don't know, Yaocao is the transformation of the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven after her death, so it naturally has special effects."
Village Chief Qin stroked his goat beard and slowly said, "Because they were transformed from the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, these Yao herbs have the effect of beautifying the skin. It's not that I've recently felt too old, so I wanted to collect some Yao herbs for my beauty."
At the end of his speech, the old man was unusually embarrassed. He coughed lightly a few times, not daring to look at Hua Sisi's expression, but still tightly grasped the Yaocao in his hands.
Shocked by this reason, Hua Sisi was silent for a long time, and finally exclaimed "Ah" and gave a thumbs up to the old man.
"What's wrong with loving beauty? Who doesn't? I think it's amazing that you, the village chief, are so honest with yourself."
She really meant what she said. In some ways, it is really amazing that someone still cares about beauty and dressing up in old age.
Of course, this did not prevent her from feeling shocked at the moment she heard the news.
Hearing the sincerity in her words, the old man turned his head to look at her in surprise, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
[Gain +10 favorability with Village Chief Qin, and you will automatically receive a 9.5% discount on items in the Village Chief's shop.]
Hua Sisi didn't expect that praising the village chief would have such benefits. She said a lot of good things to the village chief, and finally left satisfied with the 10% discount.
Then she began her farming days again.
She divided the land into two parts, half for growing Yaocao and the other half for growing immortal fruit, and every time she would spend money to buy a lot of fertilizer to spread on the seeds.
She repeated this operation for three hours until her farming coins reached 5,000, and then she began to unlock other seeds.
The plants in the plantation all appear in Chinese mythology. There are not only Yaocao and immortal fruit, but also various trees, such as the Wenyu tree that I saw in the zoo before, and the sycamore tree specially used to provide shelter for phoenixes. There are dozens of species, large and small.
Hua Sisi found herself addicted to farming.
She went from being careless at first to now calculating the time every day to unlock all these plants.
Unlocking plants for the first time is very expensive. Just one variety of plant requires at least 3,000 coins to unlock for the first time. Some seeds even cost tens of thousands of coins to unlock.
If it were possible to recharge star coins, Hua Si thought she would have recharged some money into her own plantation, otherwise she would not be living such a miserable life now.
She now wished she could break every penny into two just to unlock the illustrations of these plants.
But farming was not all smooth sailing, and she discovered that there were seasonal changes in the plantation.
That's right, there are spring, summer, autumn and winter in the plantation, and the season changes every 5 days. If calculated based on 30 days, the season will rotate completely and end in the second summer.
This invisibly caused a lot of trouble for Hua Sisi in unlocking the picture book.
Because she found that she simply didn't have enough time.
Because in the plantation, only spring and autumn are relatively easy times for harvesting. As for summer and winter, the temperature is too high in one and too low in the other, both of which are not suitable for growing things.
Not only that, she also has to take precautions against unexpected disasters during these two seasons.
For example, if there is a drought in the summer, there will be only a little water in the tap, which is not enough for her to drink, let alone water the plants.
As for winter, there would be heavy and thick snow, covering the entire land. Even if she woke up every morning to clean it up, she couldn't see any trace of the land. Basically, once winter came, she couldn't farm for five days, so she could only watch and could do nothing.
As the 30-day time approached, Hua Sisi became more and more anxious. Later on, she simply stopped sleeping and stayed by the land day and night, waiting for the harvest of one wave of plants and then continuing to plant the next wave without stopping.
But she didn't pass the level in the end.
She ended her farming career at the end of her first winter.
Because she was frozen to death.
