Chen Kuan and Wang He really lived up to Xiaoxiao’s expectations. However, they brought over a dozen applicants in a day. What was even more surprising was that there was a couple who used to grow fruit trees in their hometown. They were the experts.
Xiaoxiao decisively hired these people and handed the tree seeds to them.
According to the couple, these tree seeds were the healthiest they had ever seen. They would definitely thrive and bear fruits in the future.
Ning Fengnian and his wife only felt that they were saying festive words, but they were quite happy to hear it. Looking at the busy figures on their daughter and Ah Yan’s mountain, they also revealed satisfied smiles.
The desolate mountain that the two of them had booked was not big and was considered inconspicuous in the sprawling Dayan Mountain. The advantage was that because it was not deep in the mountains, the possibility of encountering wild beasts was very low. Xiaoxiao’s fruit trees were planted on this side facing Fortune Village. She could not help but look forward to it when she imagined the peach blossoms blooming on this entire mountain next spring.
Planting trees was not as simple as digging a hole and burying the tree seed. They still had to remove the weeds and thorns on the mountain. Xiaoxiao took this opportunity to follow the main group up the mountain and “coincidentally” brought some ripe vegetables and fruits home. For example, the tomatoes that were popular with her family some time ago. She also coincidentally” saw a few cumin fields that were growing.
The couple in charge of planting fruit trees guessed that there were few people on the mountain. These things bloomed everywhere and unknowingly grew into one big patch. Xiaoxiao smiled and did not say anything. She only focused on harvesting the fruits of victory.
It had to be said that this mountain was the biggest cheating tool she had used to move the crops out of her space. If not for the lack of time, she would even want to walk on the other side of the mountain.
In order to ensure everyone’s safety, Xiaoxiao hired Zhao Hu and his wife as guides when they entered the mountain. They only worked during the day. The hired refugees had also gone to other places to work before they met Xiaoxiao, but those bosses either deducted their wages or exploited them. They did not even care if they were sick or injured. They only thought that they were unlucky. There was no harm without comparison. The generous and caring Ning Family really made them, who had left their hometown, feel a lot of warmth.
This warmth was sublimated after they returned and realized that the Ning Family had even cooked a large pot of meat porridge for them. After returning to the refugee gathering place, they spared no effort to spread the news and received envious gazes from their companions.
The refugees who did not register regretted their hesitation and missed a good opportunity.
With the help of the workers, Xiaoxiao brought the ripe cumin and tomatoes home. The cumin still needed to be processed, and the tomatoes—now called red fruits—had become plates of delicious food.
Ning Ansheng and his brother ate two large bowls of white rice with the soup. Ning Fengnian was planning to buy a few more plots of land and grow more food next year. The county magistrate promised to leave behind the rice seeds he needed first. In other words, the harvest in his land next year would still be so good.
The family approved of this matter. They invited the village chief over for a meal and a chat, and the 10 acres of the best quality land in the village belonged to the Ning Family.
Ning Fengnian was going to plant rice in the best quality land next. The two acres of middle quality land were bought by the government at a high price because of the unique meaning of planting new rice seeds. County Magistrate Shen was very generous. The Ning Family’s 10 acres of the best quality land were exchanged with two acres of middle quality land. It was unbelievably worth it.
Xiaoxiao took a sip of soup and announced that the grass on her wasteland was ready. She could start collecting cows and sheep tomorrow. “In the future, we can get milk from our own ranch.”
The nomads that Mrs. Shen found were very reliable. Not only did they deliver goods to their doorsteps, but they also left two good ranchers in charge of imparting their experience. Seeing that they were meticulous and considerate, Xiaoxiao simply asked if they were interested in staying to work.
The other party was shocked and decisively signed the contract. Xiaoxiao only found out later that the herdsmen’s lives were hard. They had long been envious of the richness in Great Xia. However, they did not have any other skills other than raising cattle and sheep. They could not find a fixed job, so they could not afford to settle in Great Xia at all.
On the other hand, the people of Great Xia raised cows mostly for farming. The taste of cow milk and mutton was not very acceptable, so their skills were useless. It was rare for them to meet a big customer like Xiaoxiao, so they naturally had to seize the opportunity. Moreover, they had feelings with the cows and sheep after raising them for a long time.
With someone to take care of her, Xiaoxiao was even more at ease with the ranch. Of course, she was even more free to do other things.
The cumin should be planted in March and April and harvested in June and July. Therefore, other than a little that she brought back from the mountains, most of the harvesting methods could only be picked from the mountains. This showed the importance of space projection functions.
The hired workers who went up the mountain to plant trees would find mature cumin from time to time. Then, they would uproot it and bring it back according to their Boss’s request. Then, they would thresh it and sieve it to obtain seeds.
Due to the special fragrance of cumin, in order to prevent this special fragrance from evaporating, cumin had to be sealed and preserved before it was used. This was not a problem for Xiaoxiao. After all, she was a cheat girl with a space weapon.
The space had been very busy recently. The milk tea shop’s income was about 10,000 yuan a day, and Master praised it every day for being a capable little helper. This life could not be better. However, for some reason, Master had clearly accumulated a lot of points, but she did not level up.
[Master, your current total points are 185,800. Are you still not going to level up?]
Xiaoxiao chuckled and flipped to the page she had been staring at for a long time. [I want to change this first.]
Although the space’s heart ached, it still did as it was told. [Exchange for weapon-Azure Frost Sword. Characteristics: Cutting iron like mud and invincible. Points used: 160,000. Current total points: 25,800.]
Xiaoxiao comforted the space: [Don’t worry, I’ll earn back the points I used very quickly. I’ll level you up again soon.]
The cows and sheep in the ranch slowly adapted to the new environment, and Xiaoxiao planted red fruits in an empty field specially cleared in the wasteland. This was how she convinced her family—
It can grow in the wild without anyone taking care of it, which means that it’s not very difficult to plant. Anyway, it was dug in the mountains. There’s no loss even if it’s not planted well.”
The Ning Family felt that what she said made sense, so they let Xiaoxiao do whatever she wanted.
When Little Big Brother was not around, Xiaoxiao tried her best to make herself very busy. This way, she would have more time to date properly when Little Big Brother came back. Now that she had nothing to do, she secretly moved the Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron out of her space and mixed it in with the things she dug up from the mountains.
Just as she was watering this delicate orchid, she heard a space notification. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission—Origin of Species. You have completed the introduction of a new species. You have received 10,000 points. Current total points are 35,800.]
Xiaoxiao giggled. As expected, everything produced by the space was top-notch. This was another new species of orchid that did not exist in this time and space..
