Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 19 The Elders Shocked by the Three-Season Rice

Jiang Chen walked quickly to the village entrance, and as expected, she saw Jiang Tian in the pavilion under the big tree at the village entrance. Jiang Tian was gossiping with Old Lady Tao about what she had just seen at the village entrance.

The women around looked at each other in silence. They knew that if this matter was spread out, Jiang Chen would definitely cause trouble. After all, anyone would be angry if they encountered such a thing.

Most people had a good relationship with Jiang Chen, who was also from the head of the village, so the smart people chose to remain silent and advised Jiang Tian to pretend that she didn't know about this.

Seeing that no one was willing to talk about this topic, Jiang Tian rolled her eyes in disdain and said, "I said you are just timid. I didn't say anything nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes."

Mrs. Tao at the side continued, "We are going to go up the mountain to dig for that new food tomorrow. If you go to talk about the granddaughter of the village head now, I think your family will not want to go tomorrow!"

Then, a group of women all echoed in agreement, "Sister Tian, ​​don't say these things now. When Jiang Chen comes later and hears you talking about her granddaughter like this, she will scold you to death."

"Oh, isn't this Jiang Dazhuang's wife, Tian? Who are you gossiping about again? Tell me." Jiang Chen came over and said jokingly.

Seeing Jiang Chen's arrival, Jiang Tian instantly lost her confidence and smiled awkwardly: "Aunt Chen, we were just talking about the new grain, and we didn't say anything else. Maybe you heard it wrong."

Seeing that Jiang Tian refused to admit it and tried to change the subject, Jiang Chen sat down in the crowd, stared at Jiang Tian, ​​and said jokingly, "Oh, you don't admit it! I just heard someone talking about my granddaughter. Come on, keep talking! I'm listening."

Seeing this, everyone looked at Jiang Tianshi. Jiang Tianshi felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to start.

"Aunt Chen, I'm a bit sloppy. I won't talk about this anymore. I apologize." Jiang Tian suddenly thought of the new grain to be dug tomorrow. She was afraid that the head of the village would not let her go. If her husband knew about it, he would beat her to death. Thinking of this, she slapped herself hard a few times.

Jiang Dazhuang was well-known in the village for beating his wife, and Jiang Tianshi was a bad-mouthed woman, so she was often beaten. If the head of the village hadn't lived next door, she would have been more restrained and would have been beaten to death.

"That's what I said. Sanniu is usually well-behaved and cute, and she works hard. How could she do something like that? Turns out it was all a misunderstanding." Old Lady Tao on the side said.

Mrs. Tao naturally wanted to flatter Jiang Chen at this moment, and at the same time pointed the finger at Jiang Tian: "Tian, ​​you talk nonsense all day long without knowing the situation. A girl's reputation is extremely important. You should discipline your mouth.

You will ruin the girl's life if you say that."

The people present looked at Jiang Tian with disgust. Who doesn't have a daughter? If it was their daughter's turn to be accused like this, how would she get married in the future?

Jiang Tian felt the dissatisfaction and accusations from everyone, so she stood up awkwardly and left in shame.

At this time, Jiang Liu, the wife of Jiang Yuan, a relative from the same clan, hurriedly said, "Aunt, don't worry. My husband and Da Zhuang have an appointment to drink together tonight. I will tell my husband about this and ask Da Zhuang to discipline Tian. She probably hasn't tasted Da Zhuang's power for a long time. Last time, she was beaten badly in the field for talking too much. It was only after we went up to persuade him for a long time that Da Zhuang stopped."

Jiang Chen seemed very calm, as if she was accustomed to this kind of situation and did not show any surprise on her face.

"This woman has a sharp tongue. If she didn't live next door to us, Dazhuang might have married a new wife by now." Jiang Chen said with disdain.

"That's right, this talkative woman should be beaten." The villagers echoed.

In the ancestral temple of Jiangjia Village, the main seat is Jiang Zhiwang, the first elder of Jiangjia Village, who is 83 years old this year. Next to him are Jiang Zhilei, the second elder of Jiangjia Village, 72 years old, and Jiang Zhisu, the third elder of Jiangjia Village, 70 years old.

"Jiang Lizheng, you called us old men to the ancestral temple. Is there something important to announce?" Jiang Zhi, who was sitting in the main seat, asked the elder.

When Grandpa Jiang heard the elder asking, he quickly replied, "Elder, you may not know that my daughter Sanniu had the good fortune to meet a master in Yunwu Mountain. Seeing that my daughter Sanniu was smart and clever, and feeling sad about the difficulties of the world, the master gave her a magical 'fertilizer'. It is said that this 'fertilizer' can increase the yield of all crops."

He paused and continued, "Not only that, the master also gave Sanniu some rare seeds. Sanniu has carefully cultivated some of them at home, and some have already sprouted."

After hearing this, the three elders were skeptical about the claim that "fertilizer" could increase production. After all, they had never heard of such a magical thing.

But when they heard about the seeds given by the masters, they couldn't help but show a trace of trust in their eyes. When they were young, there was also a mountain near Jiangjia Village. At that time, they often heard the old people in the village say that there lived immortals in the depths of that distant and huge mountain.

These seeds were most likely given by immortals. The doubts in the hearts of the elders were gradually replaced by mystery and awe.

"Really? Do we still need to plant the other seeds we distributed this year? Or should we give priority to the seeds you mentioned? Do we have enough seeds? How many acres of land can we plant?" the second elder asked anxiously.

When Mr. Jiang heard the second elder's question, he quickly replied, "At present, the number of seeds is only enough for our family to plant. But Sanniu told me that the master will give us more seeds regularly. Moreover, the master also mentioned a kind of rice called 'three-season rice', which is said to be able to be planted three times a season."

When they heard that they could grow rice for three seasons, the three elders' eyes flashed with surprise.

The first elder stood up excitedly, walked to the side of Mr. Jiang and said, "Great! This 'three-season rice' is really a treasure. If the whole village, or even the whole Daxuan Dynasty, can grow this kind of rice, then no one will go hungry anymore. Jiang Lu, we are all old, and these things will be handed over to you in the future. I think Jiang Xue is smart and a blessed child. You should keep her around more often in the future, and be sure to discuss important matters with her."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The second and third elders also echoed.

"Good! Good! Good! These three-season rice is good. If the whole village, no, the whole Daxuan Dynasty, planted three-season rice, then no one would be hungry anymore. Jiang Lu! We are old now, so you can handle these things in the future. I think Jiang Xue is also smart and blessed. You should always keep her by your side to help you. If there is anything, you must discuss it with her."

"By the way, Sanniu mentioned something else." Grandpa Jiang added, "She hopes that we can recall the rice seeds that were previously distributed to the villagers this year."

"Call back the rice seeds?" The first elder frowned, but soon relaxed his brows. "This must be the instruction from the master to Sanniu. We must fully support it. Go out and notify every household, asking them to send back the rice seeds as soon as possible. We also need to go home and ask our family members to notify other villagers and let everyone deal with this matter as soon as possible."

If someone else had said this, the three elders might have doubted it, but since it was said by the head of the village, they believed it without a doubt.

Before he finished speaking, the three elders hurried out, as if they had become much younger, and their steps became lighter. Looking at their backs, Old Master Jiang couldn't help feeling a little surprised and confused.

He shook his head and thought to himself, "What's wrong with these elders today? They usually walk slowly, but today they are like 18-year-old boys?" But he didn't think much about it, and quickly walked out of the ancestral hall to inform other villagers.

Jiangjia Village Terraces

"Ding, start the task system."

"Ding, issuing tasks......."

''Task 1100: Help villagers grow improved rice and achieve an output of 2000 jin per mu. Points*

''Task 2000: Earn taels of silver Points*

Ding, since the host is opening the task system for the first time, the first reward points*5000 copper coins*5000

"Mission?" "Forget it, let's talk about it later! I'll take it first."

She had carefully inspected the surrounding fields and found that the sandy soil at the foot of the mountain near the water source was very suitable for growing potatoes, peanuts, watermelons and white radishes.

The terraced fields on the mountain are very suitable for growing rice. Every time she sees a piece of land suitable for cultivation, she will smile with satisfaction.

Jiang Chen watched Jiang Xue from the side, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, and sometimes showing a puzzled expression, and felt a little confused.

He even suspected that the girl in front of him was a little silly. However, when he thought that Jiang Xue was not stupid, he couldn't help laughing.

He touched his face and was surprised to find that he was actually smiling. The smile froze on his face, and he suddenly realized that smiling was actually a very normal thing.

At this time, Jiang Xiaojun, the grandson of the first clan, ran and shouted loudly: "Villagers of Jiangjia Village, the head of the village and the elders have important things to inform you. Please go home quickly, take the grain seeds that were distributed earlier, and gather at the ancestral temple!"

He shouted several times.

Then Jiang Jun immediately moved to the next venue.

When Jiang Xue saw Jiang Jun coming, she already knew in her heart that it was probably because of what she had just told Grandpa Jiang that the elders in the clan now knew about it, and now they should hold a clan meeting to discuss this matter, after all, grain seeds are a big deal.

Jiang Xue had already figured out what needed to be planted here and was ready to call Jiang Chen in front of her.

"Achen, let's go home!"

Hearing Jiang Xue calling him Ah Chen and saying that we should go home together, Jiang Chen felt warm in his heart and replied: "Okay, let's go."

Jiang Xiaojun's voice echoed in the village several times, ensuring that every villager could hear the notice. Then he quickly went to the next notification location to continue conveying this urgent message.

Seeing Jiang Xiaojun's hurried figure, Jiang Xue knew that what she had told Old Man Jiang before had reached the ears of the elders. Now they were holding a clan meeting in the ancestral temple to discuss this important matter. After all, the choice of grain was a vital matter for the entire village.

Jiang Xue had already made up her mind and knew what crops were best suited to growing on this piece of land. She turned to look at Jiang Chen next to her with a warm smile on her face.

"Achen, let's go home!" she said softly.

Hearing Jiang Xue call him "Achen" in a gentle tone and invite him to go home together, Jiang Chen felt a warm current in his heart. He smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go."

The two walked side by side on the way home, Jiang Xue's heart was full of expectations and plans. She knew that with the guidance of the masters and the support of the tribesmen, the future of their village would be better. And she was determined to use her wisdom and hard work to bring more abundant harvests to this land.
