Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Abundant, Improved Harvest

"How is it, Old Shun?" Xiao Yuxi asked in anticipation.

It was such a surprise that so many people actually came and helped them with the harvest process.

During the time they spent almost two weeks at the county, more and more people realized that the rice seeds Shun Zi were selling actually had such high quality.

Aunt Dong and Aunt Li were responsible for spreading such news after people passed by their house and saw the green nursery trays. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A lot of people asked where they had gotten the seeds from, and they truthfully told them about Merchant Yang’s new rice seeds.

As soon as they returned from the Xiao family’s house, they tried the seeds they had given them. Once they sprouted, the quality was better compared to their own rice sprouts.

They decided to postpone their farming plan, changing it to the better seeds bought from Shun Zi’s place.

The neighbors who received the information also bought the seeds from him, and once they confirmed the better rice sprouts, they did the same like Aunt Dong and Aunt Li’s family.

Soon, because of Aunt Dong and Aunt Li’s neighbors, more people saw the quality of the rice sprouts and also bought some seeds from Shun Zi. By the time the news spread to more people, it was already out of stock.

The people who wanted to buy the rice seeds could only return with disappointed hearts. Shun Zi was also helpless. He could only promise them to get more stock soon.

The Xiao family still had some paddy rice in their grain room. Alas, they weren’t at home, so he couldn’t ask for their paddy rice.

It was only yesterday that he finally found out they had returned to Hejia village. One of his men saw the twins selling soy milk and scented sachets. There was also Zhou Shuran accompanying them.

He immediately went over to ask and found out that tomorrow was the harvest day. The next day, Shun Zi immediately prepared his scale and went over to help.

"Two hundred and fifty jin! Two hundred and fifty jin per mu!" Shun Zi shouted in an emotional tone.

It was an astronomical harvest considering the current weather condition, uncontrollable bird quantity, and numerous pests.

The people already guessed that the Xiao family would have a high harvest, and yet when they heard the amount, they were still shocked.

For the Xiao family, the amount was almost double compared to the last batch. On the other hand, for normal farmers whose fields were plagued by pests, it was triple their average amount.

Such an amount could give them hope! As long as there was a precedent for it; their next harvest might improve too!

[System, can we buy better fertilizer and pesticide this time?] Xiao Qingya scrolled through the system’s shop.

Her remaining nine hundred something points should be enough for one package of these.

The System didn’t immediately answer. Ever since Xiao Qingya gave it the points willingly, the System had been very excited about something. Actually, Xiao Qingya was also curious what it would do with the points.

At first, it was trying its hardest to swindle her out of these points, but when she actually gave her points to it, the System was acting all shy all of a sudden.

She really couldn’t get used to it.

[Host, that’s a good idea. Let me help you search through the advantages and disadvantages of each product.] The System became very cooperative.

It pointed to a few pesticide products, explaining each one. [The one in green color is effective to get rid of all kinds of pests, including birds.]

Although this batch’s harvest was already double the amount, some birds were so plagued by hunger they dared to steal some grain heads despite the smell they dislike. There were also a small number of rice plants that died.

This pesticide could tackle all these problems, ensuring no birds dared to steal again and all rice plants to thrive. Alas...

[If you add fertilizer, the next batch of harvest should be able to reach 400 jin per mu. The drawback is that it’s one time use, Host.]

The little one’s face was all scrunched up, clearly disliking its drawback. If it’s only one time use, will she ever be able to make the paddy rice harvest to reach the amount in modern times?

[Next!] Xiao Qingya waved her little hand.

The System already scanned all the data, so it could pick the best products and there was no need for her to scroll and read their descriptions one by one.

[This one has a lesser effect. The upgraded version from the previous pesticide. Stronger smell that birds dislike and effective against all kinds of pests. There is a guarantee that eighty percent and above of the rice plants will survive, depending on the farmer’s care.]

The little one listened to a few more products, and she ultimately decided to buy the second one. Then, she picked the fertilizer.

[Host, there are several fertilizers I have sorted out for you...]

The Ling siblings were no longer humans, but when they saw the farmers being emotional over high harvest yield, they also couldn’t help but feel moved.

Many people always wish to have enough to eat.

They turned to their Little Master who was standing alone and went over to accompany her. Although they were bewildered by her action, they stayed silent.

Xiao Jingran had warned them not to talk nonsense if they saw Xiao Qingya make strange gestures as if she was talking to someone.

They thought that Xiao Qingya might be talking to the ghost of her ancestor or some sort, but... they didn’t see any ghost around. It has happened several times.

Fortunately, ordinary people wouldn’t think much of a two-year-old child’s strange antics. That was also why the Ling siblings didn’t mind being called lackeys by Xiao Qingya.

After all, she was still a child and didn’t mean it in a malicious way. Even though... someone still got punished over this.

Zhou Anran thought Xiao Fenghao had corrupted Xiao Qingya! Unable to hide it any longer, he finally confessed he had made her turn into the little boss of other kids with similar age around her when they were playing together.

[The previous one is just basic, merely improving the yield by a small amount. The one is an improved quality.] The System showed her an interface of a product.

By far, this one seemed to be the best among all the products the System had introduced to her.

[Host, this one is a cheap heavenly product! You have gotten a bargain. The fertilizer will not only improve the grain yield, but also improve the soil and enhance the paddy rice’s flavor. Hurry, buy it, buy it!]

Encouraged by the System, she instantly clicked on it. A few moments later, the product turned gray.

The System heaved a sigh of relief. [I don’t know why you have become so lucky ever since you gained Heavenly Yin Eyes. Fortunately, you snatched the last product.]

Seeing the little one’s confused expression, the System explained. [They are introducing a new kind of fertilizer to the transmigrators in the mission at a cheap price. You just need to submit the details of its effect later after the harvest.]

[I didn’t know they were actually secretly releasing it today. Phew, luckily, we got one.] The System muttered.

Xiao Qingya’s eyes lit up. [Tell me, what’s so good about it? It’s a wonderful thing, right?]

[Host, the effects I have told you earlier... the seeds from the crops will inherit a hundred percent of its effects.]

[Once you submit the essay detailing the efficacy of its effect, you will get another one free! I saw their advertisement the other day!] The System excitedly chatted on.

Xiao Qingya was also excited. She ran around to find her siblings, tugging on Xiao Yuxi’s hand before running away to Xiao Yuyan. Once she tugged on her second sister’s hand, she went to find her brothers.

She had good news, but alas, she couldn’t share it with them.

[Oh, right, Host. I will be unavailable for one day.] The System sounded hesitant. [Are you going to be alright on your own?]

Xiao Qingya blinked, and she instinctively stopped, which gave Xiao Jingran a chance to catch her.

[Where are you going?] She asked.

The System was being so secretive.

She got her answer the next day...
