Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

The heads of more than a dozen surrounding villages came one after another, some in carriages and some on foot, their faces full of curiosity and anticipation.

When they walked into the terraced fields of Jiangjia Village, they saw the golden rice fields, with heavy rice ears glittering in the sun. A breeze blew through the rice fields, and layers of golden waves were raised, like a golden ocean.

The village heads stood on the ridges of the fields, looking at the abundant harvest in front of them, and were completely stunned. Many of them were experienced farmers, but they were still shocked and envious of such a spectacular harvest.

"This...how is this possible? The fields in our village are not small, but we have never had such a harvest!" A village chief muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes, Jiangjia Village has a great harvest this time! Looking at the quality of the rice, you can tell it is high-quality rice, and the planting technology must be very advanced." Another village chief exclaimed.

"Ms. Jiang Xue, how did your village do it? Can you share your experience?" A village chief asked Jiang Xue directly.

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, saying, "There is no special secret. It's just that everyone works together and works hard. In addition, we introduced new rice varieties and planting techniques, which is why we have achieved such results."

"Miss Jiang Xue, look." Ten of the village heads stepped forward and said hesitantly but expectantly, "We also have terraced fields in our village. We really want to know when it is convenient for you to come over and see if you can also plant these high-quality rice on the terraced fields in our village."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, nodded, and then said calmly: "Dear village heads, I am very happy that you are interested in the rice of our Jiangjia Village. In fact, I asked everyone to come here yesterday because of this idea. However, I have a condition that needs to be stated in advance."

She paused, looked around at the crowd, and continued, "If you are willing to cooperate, I will personally inspect your terraced fields and provide planting suggestions. However, as part of the cooperation, I hope to get 30% of the rice harvest."

As soon as these words came out, the ten people looked at each other, some were embarrassed, and some were lost in thought. They understood that the planting technology and experience provided by Jiang Xue were priceless, but 30% of the harvest was also a considerable amount for them.

"Miss Jiang Xue, isn't 30% a bit too much?" a village head asked tentatively.

Jiang Xue shook her head and explained, "Village heads, you may not know that growing this high-quality rice requires a lot of energy and resources. From seed selection, seedling cultivation, transplanting to harvesting, every step requires careful care. What I can guarantee is that as long as you follow my method, the harvest will definitely increase several times more than it is now. Moreover, I will not take all of this 30% of the harvest. Part of it will be used for the subsequent development and technical support of our village."

After listening to Jiang Xue's explanation, the village heads began to whisper and exchange opinions with each other. They understood that this was a decision that required weighing the pros and cons. Although 30% of the harvest seemed like a lot, if it could bring a larger yield and a better life, then this decision would be worth it.

As we were talking about this, suddenly the villagers came up from the cement road pushing a large scale.

Without caring about the village heads, Jiang Xue strode over and stood aside, waiting nervously and excitedly for the rice to be weighed. She knew that this would be the moment to verify the results of her labor.

Bags of rice were moved onto the scales, and Jiang Xue personally operated the scale bar, carefully adjusting the balance. As the amount of rice gradually increased, the scale on the scale bar also kept changing.

Finally, all the rice was weighed. Jiang Xue looked at the numbers on the scale and smiled with satisfaction: "Grandpa, the rice yield per mu of this acre of land has reached 1266 kilograms!"

However, when Jiang Xue told everyone the calculated yield per mu - 1266 kilograms - everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

"1266 pounds? How is that possible?" Jiang Dashan widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a high yield." Jiang Xue said with a smile, "But this is indeed the result of our hard work."

The villagers gathered around to check Jiang Xue's statistics and the actual situation of the rice. They found that Jiang Xue's calculations were not wrong, and the rice yield of this acre of land did reach 1266 kilograms per acre.

"That's amazing!" The villagers praised, "Jiang Xue, you are the pride of our village!"

Jiang Xue waved her hands modestly and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Without everyone's help and support, I would not be able to complete this work alone."

"Okay, I've finished the measurement." Jiang Xue stood on the rice drying ground and said to the busy villagers, "Everyone concentrate on harvesting the rice. We will leave enough rice for everyone to eat, and give me another 30%. As for the rest, Mr. Feng next to me will buy it all."

The villagers looked up at Jiang Xue and Feng Qingyu, with expressions of surprise and curiosity on their faces.

Feng Qingyu smiled and assured the villagers: "Everyone, please rest assured that I will give a fair price to ensure that everyone's hard work can be rewarded accordingly, and I will never let anyone suffer a loss."

Jiang Xue then added: "The new rice variety we planted this time has a good yield and high quality. I believe it will be popular in the market. Mr. Feng is not only an old friend of mine, but also a nobleman in our village. He is willing to purchase these rice and help us open up sales channels."

"Miss Jiang, what price do you think Mr. Daogufeng will give us?" a villager asked curiously.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and replied, "The purchase price offered by Mr. Feng will be higher than the market price, but we are still discussing the specific amount with Mr. Feng."

"Really? That's great!" The villagers all looked happy upon hearing this, and expressed their approval and support for this matter in unison.

One of the villagers couldn't hold back his excitement and interrupted, "Yes, yes, I've heard people say that ordinary rice can be sold for about thirty coins per pound in the market now."

Jiang Xue nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with what the villager said, and then she added: "That's true, but what we planted this time is a brand new and improved high-quality rice variety! Its quality is quite outstanding, so in my opinion, Mr. Feng will definitely offer a price much higher than the general market price to purchase it~"

At this moment, Feng Qingyu happened to hear the conversation between the crowd, so he stepped forward and made a solemn promise to the many villagers gathered here: "Everyone, please relax. I will definitely provide you with a purchase offer that is much higher than the current market price. As for the specific amount... Let us discuss and finalize this issue later."
