“Ouch—”
Zhang Xiaochun was lying on the ground groaning. This time, Jun Haoyue was no longer kind enough to help her. The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so two men lifted her up, one on each side.
Xu Xingchen clenched his fist, coughed, and thanked everyone: "Okay, the person has been found, and my cousin has also found Zhou Xiaoniang's pig. Let's go back. Thank you everyone."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Those who were originally assigned by the village chief reluctantly were now happy.
"It's okay, it's okay. Sister Xu, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."
"Yes, yes."
A group of people rushed down the mountain, and Zhang Xiaochun was sent home by the villagers.
Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue walked at the end of the team without saying a word.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Jun Haoyue said, "The pig has been found."
Xu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes.
"remuneration."
Xu Xingchen swallowed her saliva, and the sound of "Gudong" was clearly audible. She quickly replied, "First of all, I have no money!"
Jun Haoyue was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly felt like teasing her. He stretched out his voice and said, "I think—"
Xu Xingchen nervously clenched his cuffs, his heartbeat slowing down as his tone lengthened.
The other person suddenly reached out his hand to her. She inexplicably closed her eyes and chuckled in the darkness.
"I want you to stop Munduner from calling me daddy."
Xu Xingchen opened his eyes sharply, his almond-shaped eyes widening, as if to say: That's it? That's it?
Jun Haoyue smiled and replied to her: That's it.
Xu Xingchen rolled his eyes at him, pushed open the courtyard door and went into the inner room without looking back. Jun Haoyue stood there with a doting and cunning smile.
In the next few days, life returned to normal and the icicles under the eaves began to drip, indicating that spring was approaching step by step.
That day, Xu Xingchen was in the lab, counting the items in his system backpack that Menduner had recently brought back: five bottles of nutrient supplements (combination), two four-leaf clovers, and half a peach...
Xu Xingchen took out a bottle of nutrient solution for future use, and his fingertips slid over the four-leaf clover again, clicking on its properties: also known as lucky grass, collecting a certain number can be exchanged for a corresponding lucky gift pack.
She went to the Lucky Shop and found that the smallest lucky gift pack started at twenty four-leaf clovers.
The lucky gift package has no attributes, and you have no idea what will come out. If you want to know, you have to collect it. Xu Xingchen complained that the mind of the player of the Traveling Frog can be clearly understood.
Mendun'er has been out at least five or six times, and has only brought back two four-leaf clovers, which shows how rare four-leaf clovers are.
She thought for a moment and then opened her son's home: [Men Dun'er went out traveling.]
Well, he ran away again, and this time he didn’t even leave a note.
She turned off the system, stretched, and looked up to see a flash of green. "Huh?"
The wheat had actually grown to knee height. She immediately diluted the nutrient solution and watered the wheat seedlings. At this rate of growth, it was estimated that wheat ears would be produced in half a month.
Xu Xingchen recalled the wheat-making process she had learned in the botany course in the textbook, and began to think about what to do after the wheat ears were produced. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of it.
She could make malt sugar and sell it in town. Malt sugar is sweet but not greasy, suitable for all ages, and will definitely sell well. She fell into the fantasy of counting copper coins, which was a joy that could not be experienced with the electronic currency on her planet.
Thinking of this, she decided to take the wheat seedlings to the yard to bask in the sun.
As soon as he walked out of the bamboo house, he met Shuanzi and his wife who were standing in the yard, and the situation became awkward for a while.
Shuanzi saw Xu Xingchen's unhappy expression and was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he spoke hurriedly and haltingly: "Xu, Xu sister, please don't misunderstand me. Shuanzi and I came to apologize to you, but we shouted for a long time but no one answered. We came in even though the door was not closed."
Xu Xingchen's frown relaxed. Once she concentrated on doing something, she would not pay attention to anything else. She didn't hear them calling her, so it was really not their fault.
"Sister Xu, we brought you a thank you gift. Thank you for saving me twice. This is the fish I caught in the river early this morning. It's really fat..."
Before her husband could finish talking to Xu Xingchen, Zhou Xiaoniang was attracted by the green plants in the bamboo basket in Xu Xingchen's arms. "Hey, sister Xu, what kind of seedlings are these? They can actually grow in winter."
Xu Xingchen brushed the wheat seedlings with his hand and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, it's a secret recipe. I just planted it casually."
Zhou Xiaoniang's eyes lit up. It was another exclusive secret recipe. Shuanzi had broken his leg before, and it was said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. However, after drinking the water with her exclusive secret recipe, he was able to walk within half a month.
This time, an exclusive secret recipe for planting has appeared. If she learns how to plant in winter, her family will not have to worry about food and clothing in winter!
"Sister Xu, what kind of seedling is this?"
Xu Xingchen looked at Zhou Xiaoniang's pleading face and suddenly had an idea. Isn't this a great opportunity to boost the economic development of the entire village?
Her eyes flashed, and she said half concealingly and half temptingly, "This is the seedling for making malt sugar."
"Maltose?" The people on the backward planet had never heard of this word and repeated it with some difficulty.
"Yeah, something very sweet."
Zhou Xiaoniang was even more excited, "Sister Xu, can I do it with you?"
"Sure, I have an idea..."
Xu Xingchen told her about his plan, and Zhou Xiaoniang couldn't hide her excitement after hearing it. "Then let's go talk to the village chief. I remember there's a half-built tiled house in the south of the city. That would be a good place."
"Well... south of the city, okay." After thinking about it for a while, Xu Xingchen felt that it was feasible, and the two of them immediately went to the village chief's house hand in hand.
Shuanzi was forgotten by the two women. He stared at Xu Xingchen's back in a daze, and he had been listening to the conversation just now.
He was just surprised that this was really a woman's idea?
So bold, so... novel.
The two girls quickly arrived at the village chief's house. It was Auntie Pang who opened the door. When she saw the two girls, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh, Miss Xu, Miss Zhou..."
Before Auntie Pang had finished greeting them, the two hurried into the yard to look for the village chief. Auntie Pang complained behind them: "Young people nowadays..."
"village head--"
The village chief put down the half-rolled corn cob and said, "Hey——"
Xu Xingchen got straight to the point and said, "Village Chief, these are the wheat seedlings I cultivated. I want to build a small factory in the village to make maltose."
"Maltose?" The village chief had the same doubts as Zhou Xiaoniang at first.
Zhou Xiaoniang exclaimed and explained to the village chief, who was surprised to hear what she said. He had never heard of malt sugar.
"With this kind of village chief, everyone in the village can participate, and everyone will share the profits, and no one will be greedy."
The village chief knocked his cane excitedly, "Okay, okay, okay."
Then the village chief asked the neighbors to go door to door to notify the villagers to hold a meeting and solicit everyone's opinions in public.
