Chapter 258: Parting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After confirming the value of the rice, County Magistrate Shen and the others had a discussion. Xiaoxiao simply invited everyone to her house for dinner. Who would reject such a good thing?
The new courtyard of the Ning Family was more spacious and comfortable. County Magistrate Shen and the others asked the servants and bailiffs to help them clean up the dining room very quickly. The dining room of the Ning Family was especially bright. There was a small round turntable on the big roundtable. With a wave of their hand, it spun around and transferred the dishes that they wanted to eat closer to them. It was very interesting and practical.
Before Xiaoxiao’s dishes were on the table, these men, who were more than 100 years old together, could not stop playing with it.
Of course, it was mainly because they had let go of the heavy burden in their hearts.
Planting an acre of land required 1 to 1.5 kg of seeds. Then, the Ning Family would be able to obtain a total of 800 kg of seeds after harvesting the rice. They could plant 800 acres of land. At first glance, this number did not seem to be shocking, but as long as they planted these 800 acres of land, they would obtain 320,000 kg of high-yielding rice seeds after a season! In the long run, would there still be a famine in Great Xia?
Before today, who could guarantee that everyone in Great Xia would not starve in three years?
When she heard their discussion when they were serving the dishes, Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Sir, I forgot to say that my land is only the middle quality land.”
Huh!
County Magistrate Shen and the others gasped. Didn’t that mean that the yield of the rice would be even higher if it was planted in the best quality land? Perhaps, they could make a bold guess — 500 kilograms?!
A strategist asked, “If only the two acres of the Ning Family’s harvest is used as bait, will those guys with low standards look down on them?”
County Magistrate Shen slapped the table. “They can come or not! There are only 1,600 kilograms of rice seeds in an acre. Anyone who doesn’t come is a fool!”
“The rarer something is, the more precious it is. Do they think it’s easy to nurture such a good seed? If they’re not convinced, they can plant one too!” Dean Lu was even more transparent. “When the time comes, release the news that a total of 500 kilograms will only be distributed to the other counties. First come, first served. Moreover, the new grains are delicate. We will only give it to those who have reserved a place where the canals are dug in advance and there are excellent planting environments.”
Lord Chen added, “Whether the canal is regulated or not will be decided after our inspection. After all, this concerns the granary of the world. If they don’t believe me, they can also visit the Ning Family’s high-yielding land in Fortune Village. At that time, we’ll make a bigger commotion so that we can attract the Yan Family’s attention and make the Third Prince’s journey back to the capital more stable.”
The three smart people spoke one after another and decided on the progress for the next 10 days. As soon as Ning Fengnian and the others arrived home, they were pulled into the house by the abnormally excited county magistrate and told about it.
Everyone in the Ning Family was stunned.
“What? Xiaoxiao exchanged the rice seeds that we had gathered from the villagers. I planted it especially well because of that rice seed?”
“What? My rice acre produces 400 kg? Did my sister get the rice seed from an old man?”
“What? My rice seeds are going to be requisitioned by the Imperial Court, and my land is going to be visited by the lords of Lin County?”
Other than Ning Ansheng, everyone else was extremely puzzled.
Ning Ansheng was calmer than his family, but he glanced at his sister disapprovingly.
Xiaoxiao immediately raised her hand and swore. “I definitely won’t take matters into my own hands next time. It’s mainly because I felt that Grandpa Yuan was very friendly at that time, so I was impulsive. Later on, I thought that the rice seeds were all the same. Perhaps that kind person saw that our family was in trouble and helped us. It was only when we were about to harvest that I suddenly felt that something was wrong…”
After saying that, she sighed. “I was still too young at that time.” Everyone in the room was stunned. Ning Anhui pinched her little face. “Do you think you’re big now?”
Xiaoxiao pushed him away. Rong Yan put down his teacup and stood quietly between Ning Anhui and Xiaoxiao to stop him from doing evil again.
Xiaoxiao said proudly, “But it seems like my luck is not bad. I really met an expert.”
“Father, Lord Shen said that if we can promote our rice seeds, no one in the world will go hungry in the future!”
Ning Fengnian didn’t expect that he could be connected with all the living beings in the world just by farming. He was surprised and happy. He didn’t know what to say at all. County Magistrate Shen couldn’t help but ask again, “Mr. Ning, do you agree?”
Ning Fengnian was slow to react. “Huh?” He realized that the county magistrate was actually still asking for his opinion?
“Of course I agree. Of course I agree. This is a great thing. Of course I agree.” The good man chuckled. “If the adults from the other counties want to see it, let them see it. It’s fine.”
County Magistrate Shen touched his beard and pulled Ning Fengnian away. “Then let’s talk about how to deal with the visitors.”
For example, the importance of this canal. For example, how delicate the rice was. It would not survive if it was not served well.
How to make an honest person answer outsiders’ questions in an artistic manner was a skill. Dean Lu and Lord Chen also went on stage personally. The three of them took the Ning Family away and decided to talk all night.
Xiaoxiao looked at her courtyard. “Fortunately, we changed to a new house. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have anywhere to live.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Yan pulled her back. “I… am leaving soon…”
The dam matter involved many things, and there were many twists and turns. Time was tight, and they could not delay.
Rong Yan couldn’t hide the reluctance in his tone. “Doctor Gongsun said that Han Qing’s injuries will recover at least until tomorrow. He counted the days on his fingers. We’ll leave quietly tomorrow morning.”
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “Since you want to go ‘quietly’, I won’t send you off.”
Rong Yan felt a little empty, but he heard her say, “I’ll think of you here and wait for you to come back safely.”
Rong Yan looked into her eyes and said softly, “Yes.”
That night, many people could not sleep. Before dawn, Rong Yan pushed open the courtyard door and found a huge bag at the door. He opened it and saw that it was a five-layer food box.
He didn’t know what materials Xiaoxiao used to make it. It was clearly so big, but it didn’t take much weight.
The food box was filled with snacks that were to his liking.
“Silly girl, you’re up so early.”
The corners of his mouth curled up. When the Ning Family woke up and the two families, together with County Magistrate Shen, Dean Lu and Mr. Chen, ate together, Xiaoxiao pretended that she didn’t know anything. Rong Yan didn’t say anything, as if they wouldn’t part today.
The shop was operating normally today, and Xiaoxiao went to do the second round of training for the people sent by the franchise shop. After sending away the dizzy chefs, Xiaoxiao leaned on the table in the small kitchen and sighed. What should she do? They hadn’t even separated and she already missed him. The space wanted to make its Master happy, so it shared good news with her. [Master, the total points in the space have reached 100,000. Do you want to level up?]
There was nothing to hesitate about. Xiaoxiao nodded. [Upgrade.]
[Ding… Space upgrade successful. Current space level: Seven.]
