Jiang Qinyu was stunned. Unlock the entire first floor of the shopping mall at once? Is there really such a good thing? Of course she had to have it!
Jiang Qinyu was only surprised for a second before immediately selecting "Yes".
[Ding! Mission: Please collect the necessary items to unlock one floor based on the map prompts. There is no time limit for this mission. The required items include...]
Jiang Qinyu quickly understood that the task of unlocking the entire supermarket floor in one go was actually to reduce the burden on the host.
Previous missions required hundreds of kilograms of items each time, but this time only one of each type is needed, although there are more types.
But Jiang Qinyu's family's supermarket is a huge, comprehensive one, with almost every type of item available, such as agricultural machinery and generators that are rarely seen in other supermarkets.
Besides the regular supermarket, there are also some jewelry brands on the first floor, and even a car company is holding a car show in the lobby. All of these are currently locked.
Jiang Qinyu was a little curious at this moment. If she unlocked the entire fifth floor of the shopping mall, would she be able to use everything inside?
After all, some of them belong to the merchants and brands that have moved in, such as the counters for commonly used medicines, the clothing on the third and fourth floors, etc., which, in principle, do not belong to her.
Just then, Jiang Qinyu heard Meng Tianze calling her.
"Sister-in-law, you finished shopping so early?"
Jiang Qinyu turned around and saw Meng Tianze also carrying a lot of things. She smiled and replied, "I just bought some bath beans and things for the family. I saw someone selling meat, so I bought some to take back for the children to eat."
Now that she's unlocked the "fresh meat" section, she won't be short of meat at home for the time being, but she still has to put on a show for outsiders.
Seeing that she was carrying quite a lot of things, Meng Tianze thought of the rumors circulating in the village and sighed inwardly.
This girl must be feeling sorry for her brother's two children, right? But she really should eat more; look how thin she's become!
"Then why didn't you buy more? Is it because you don't have enough money? I have some here, or I can go buy some more for you?" Meng Tianze immediately reached for his money.
Jiang Qinyu quickly waved her hand, "No need, Brother Meng. Fresh meat won't keep well in this weather. This is enough."
Actually, she had bought all the meat from that butcher's stall. If Meng Tianze went there again, she was afraid she would be exposed, since she didn't have that much meat on hand right now.
“That makes sense. Okay then. We’ll come back to town another day after you’ve finished eating,” Meng Tianze nodded.
Jiang Qinyu nodded with a smile.
Chen Shao and Liu Yazi arrived shortly after, joking around as well. After putting their things down, they headed towards the village.
"To be honest, it's been so dry that we haven't stored up any fertilizer at home. It will be a problem to fertilize after we plant the seeds."
On the way back, Chen Shao drove the carriage, while Meng Tianze and Liu Yazi sat on the carriage shaft. After traveling for a short distance, Meng Tianze sighed.
Jiang Qinyu lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the plants on both sides of the road. She felt a little uneasy, but she did know a little about how to compost.
"It's okay if we don't have enough fertilizer at home. We can go to the mountains and get some dry leaves or something to compost. After fermentation, it will have the same effect."
She learned this method from some old farmers when she was doing her internship in the countryside after graduation.
She found it novel at the time, so she listened carefully, and the memory is still very clear.
"Compost?" Meng Tianze was taken aback. "How do you compost?"
Jiang Qinyu looked at him, puzzled. "Don't we compost fertilizer in our village?"
The original owner of this body didn't really care about the fields when she was in the Lu family. It was all done by Old Man Lu and Madam Chen. Jiang Qinyu really couldn't remember how the villagers fertilized the fields besides using farmyard manure.
"What do you use to compost it? Aren't we just using the little stuff stored in our own outhouses in the fields?" Meng Tianze asked blankly.
Jiang Qinyu: "..."
Well, how come she, who is lazy and knows nothing about farming, can teach farmers who work with the land all year round how to compost? Where can you find any justice in this?
Jiang Qinyu truly hadn't expected that agriculture in this world was so backward, completely dependent on the weather except for farmyard manure.
It's no wonder that Dai Viet has such low grain yields; it seems there's still a long way to go to improve the situation.
When Grandpa Jiang and the others heard that fertilizer used in the fields could actually be artificially produced, they were all stunned.
"Girl, is what you're saying really going to work? Don't try to fool your grandpa!" Grandpa Jiang looked at Jiang Qinyu uncertainly.
Now everyone in the village knows that Lu Yanzheng is dead, and Jiang Qinyu has naturally become a widow. However, she is still a young girl, so it is reasonable for the older generation to call her "girl".
Jiang Qinyu nodded and said, "Grandpa Jiang, I've seen these in my older brother's books before."
"Is it really true that it's in the book? Then why didn't anyone tell us?" Grandpa Jiang was very skeptical.
Scholars don't need to farm, so why write these things in books?
Jiang Qinyu hadn't expected them to be unaware of this, so she simply explained, "Actually, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue both cover farming techniques, but the policies may differ from place to place. We probably don't have anyone here to teach us, right?"
“Sister-in-law Lu is right,” Liu Ruyi suddenly emerged from behind the crowd, smiling at everyone. “The Holy Ancestor Emperor valued agriculture highly back then, and even had the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue compile a book specifically to teach people how to farm.”
She only knew that this matter existed, but she didn't know what was written in the booklet. Moreover, so many years had passed, and the booklet might have been altered long ago.
However, she was also very curious about how Jiang Qinyu knew so much.
Everyone in the village knew that Liu Ruyi was from the capital, so when they heard her say that, they immediately believed Jiang Qinyu and asked her to teach them how to compost.
"It's not that complicated. Didn't we see a bamboo forest in Tiger Valley before? Something like that. Let's find a few, dig up the soil with the decaying leaves on the ground, cover it with straw or something, and let it ferment..."
Jiang Qinyu told the people of Dingshui Village the method she had heard about in detail.
Farmers are very focused on farming, and this time no one interrupted Jiang Qinyu. Those who didn't understand even scratched their heads in frustration. After Jiang Qinyu finished speaking, they asked her questions one by one.
Jiang Qinyu then explained the fermentation process, the results of fermentation, and the effects that fermented fertilizer can have on crops in the field.
"We still need to let the children study more!" This was the first thought that came out of Grandpa Jiang's mind after hearing this.
Someone chimed in, "Yes, look at Ah Zheng's wife, she knows everything. It's a pity that the school in our town is closed down, sigh!"
"How about this," Village Chief Li looked at Jiang Qinyu thoughtfully, "when there's nothing to do in the winter, let's ask our niece to give us lessons and teach us to read?"
As soon as the suggestion was made, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Then, Grandpa Jiang was the first to speak up, "I think it's a good idea! Yu'er is very capable, she can definitely be taught well."
"Uh, well, how about we just let the kids learn? I'm already this old, what's the point of me learning?"
"That's right, that's right, let the kids learn it, we don't need to..."
People who get a headache just from reading immediately give up.
