Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 20 Is she the immortal’s apprentice?

In the ancestral hall of Jiangjia Village, three elders sat in the main seats, and the village head sat next to the third elder. Villagers entered the ancestral hall carrying their own grain seeds, and soon, most of the people had arrived.

The first elder turned to the head of the village and ordered, "Jiang Lu, send someone to ask Sanniu to come here as well."

The elders of the clan obviously regarded Jiang Xue as the disciple of the immortal, so they decided to let her participate in this clan meeting.

When Mr. Jiang heard the elders' instructions, his body stiffened slightly. He looked at the elders with disbelief, secretly surprised. This girl who had never been allowed to enter the ancestral temple was now summoned by the elders in person.

Although he was confused by the decision of the clan elders, Mr. Jiang did not ask any more questions but took action immediately.

"Feng'er, go home immediately and ask Sanniu to come to the ancestral temple. This is the order from the clan elders." Old Master Jiang turned to Jiang Feng next to him and said.

Although Jiang Feng was a little surprised, he still obeyed Mr. Jiang's order and ran back home immediately.

Jiang Xue, who had just returned home with Jiang Chen, suddenly heard her elder brother Jiang Feng calling her. She thought she had heard it wrong at first and was about to continue walking into the yard, but Jiang Chen beside her couldn't help but remind her: "Xue'er, elder brother is calling you."

Jiang Xue didn't notice Jiang Chen's address to her. She turned to the right and saw her elder brother Jiang Feng waving at her breathlessly.

"Third sister, wait a minute!" Jiang Feng said loudly.

Jiang Xue walked towards Jiang Feng, and seeing that he was exhausted and out of breath, she quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, just talk slowly."

Jiang Feng responded: "The elders asked me to invite you to the ancestral temple, let's go now."

Hearing the word "ancestral temple", Jiang Xue's heart tightened. She was worried that her grandfather might have said something and the people in the clan wanted to burn her as a monster. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Jiang Xue decided to go and see what was going on. She didn't think about it anymore and quickly followed Jiang Feng to the ancestral temple.

As soon as Jiang Xue entered the ancestral temple, she was surrounded by the gazes of the surrounding villagers. Everyone was very curious about her, because the ancestral temple had never allowed women to enter, unless they had made special contributions. However, no matter how much they thought about it, they could not think of any special contribution this girl had made.

Jiang Xue felt extremely embarrassed. The feeling of being stared at by everyone made her feel very uncomfortable and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

The first elder sitting in the main seat explained, "I asked Sanniu to come. Her current status is higher than everyone present. She will have one vote in all future clan meetings and important decisions in the family. This is the result of a discussion between me and the other two elders."

Jiang Xue looked at Mr. Jiang in surprise, obviously not knowing what had happened. Mr. Jiang also looked at Jiang Xue in bewilderment.

The first elder continued, "Sanniu, come and sit next to me." As he spoke, he motioned to Jiang Jun next to him to bring a stool over and asked Jiang Xue to sit next to him.

The villagers of Jiangjia Village who were present looked at each other, not knowing why the elder did this. But they believed that the elder must have his reasons for doing so, so they did not say much.

When Jiang Xue saw the first elder of the clan waving at her, she strode forward and sat on the main seat in the ancestral temple.

"I called everyone here today and asked everyone to bring the rice that was distributed some time ago because I wanted to inform you of something." Seeing Jiang Xue sitting in the main seat, the three elders nodded with satisfaction.

The first elder continued, "Jiang Xue from Jiang Lizheng's family has been appreciated by an expert, who said that she can help everyone increase the rice yield. Therefore, all the rice should be handed over to Jiang Xue, and she will distribute the improved rice seedlings in due time."

At this time, Jiang Jiu, who usually liked to play tricks, started to make fun of him: "Oh, everyone has so much grain, and you give it to a little girl. I think the elders are old now, how could they think of such an outrageous thing."

After hearing Jiang Jiu's words, everyone looked at each other, and for a moment everyone in Jiangjia Village was silent.

Jiang Xue stood up and said, "Don't worry, everyone. You can get the improved grain seeds in about seven days. These grain seeds can be sown in three seasons, and the yield per mu can reach about ten stones."

When several elders saw this, they immediately looked at their sons. After receiving the elders' gazes, the sons of the three elders, more than a dozen families in total, immediately placed the packed seeds on the ground in the middle of the ancestral temple.

Seeing the support of the elders, Mr. Jiang also gave his eldest grandson Jiang Feng a look. Jiang Feng immediately stepped forward and placed the packed seeds on the ground.

Some people are already eager to try, after all, the improved rice seedlings will be distributed in a few days, and they can be planted in three seasons, with a high yield per mu. Although some are skeptical, some people still want to try, after all, there are only a few days, if it really succeeds, the whole family will never have to go hungry again.

In addition, there would be new food tomorrow. Before long, everyone had handed in their food one after another, and only three families were still hesitating.

Seeing that these people would not listen to his advice, Jiang Jiu mocked them, "I have never heard of anyone saying that they can increase the yield of seeds and have three crops of rice. It would be good if the harvest is good this season. I am afraid that this is like throwing meat buns at dogs, and it will never come back."

"It's really hilarious. The yield per mu is 10 dan, and he's not afraid of spraining his waist when talking." Jiang Jiu continued.

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang Jiu, you can keep your seeds for yourself."

The first elder of the clan was also angry at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Jiang Jiu, you do nothing all day, and you are always sneaky and sly, but no one cares about you. You can't participate in such a good thing, so get out! Don't participate in the clan meetings in the future."

Although Jiang Jiu was sneaky and cunning, he also understood the situation clearly. Seeing that the elder was angry, he said, "Don't be angry, elder. I will hand it over right away."

The remaining two families saw that Jiang Jiu, a sly person, had handed over the rice, so they had no choice but to give it out. After all, they all knew that this might be a rare opportunity for them to get rid of hunger and improve their lives. In this way, Jiang Xue successfully collected a large amount of rice and prepared to carry out the next improvement work.

Seeing that all the villagers had handed in the seeds, the first elder nodded to Jiang Xue with satisfaction. Jiang Xue stood up and said, "The seeds need to be built in a barn for future breeding. Each family should send one person to build the barn. After the barn is built, someone will be needed to guard it every day. My suggestion is that orphans or elderly people without children in the village should come and implement a rotation system."

Seeing Jiang Xue talking about building a granary, the first elder of the clan immediately said: "The money for building the granary will be paid by the clan, and the meals for the people who need to guard the granary in the future will also be paid by the clan."

Seeing that no one had any objection at the moment, Mr. Jiang arranged for everyone to go to Jiang Yu to register as they did in the afternoon.

After hearing the plan proposed by Jiang Xue, many lonely elderly people and orphans felt extremely grateful.

Their lives were already difficult, and sometimes they could barely afford one meal a day. Now, with this job and the guarantee of life, they seemed to see new hope. They expressed their gratitude to Jiang Xue and vowed to do their best to protect the valley house.

Jiang Xue felt very pleased to see the villagers signing up enthusiastically.

At this time, the three elders announced that they were going home to rest. Everyone dispersed and signed up to participate in the construction and guarding of the valley house.

Jiang Xue also planned to leave. She took Jiang Feng and prepared to go home together.

Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the yard, was getting impatient. He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, but Jiang Xue hadn't come home yet. He couldn't help but feel a little worried and wanted to get up and go back to the house, but he was afraid of missing Jiang Xue's return.

Just then, Jiang Chen came in from outside. She had just been chatting outside for a while and was in a particularly good mood.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the young man Jiang Chen sitting under the jujube tree. Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking that this young man was really handsome and his face was so delicate that it was amazing.

"That boy, your name is Jiang Chen, right?" Jiang Chen walked closer to Jiang Chen and asked with a smile.

Jiang Chen heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw it was Grandma Jiang. He quickly stood up and replied, "Yes, Grandma, my name is Jiang Chen."

The more Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Chen, the more satisfied she was. She felt that this young man was not only good-looking, but also well-mannered and polite. She couldn't help but have an idea in her mind that this young man seemed like her grandson-in-law.

"I'll go to the kitchen and take a look." Jiang Chen said and turned and left.

After a while, Jiang Xue and her elder brother Jiang Feng also returned to the Jiang family courtyard. They pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and with a "creak" sound, Jiang Chen raised his head again. He was delighted to see Jiang Xue coming home, and he stood up immediately.

Jiang Xue saw Jiang Chen still sitting in the courtyard and couldn't help but frown. She knew that Jiang Chen's body had just recovered and needed more rest. So she walked up to him and said, "You just got rid of the poison, so you should go and rest."

When Jiang Chen heard what Jiang Xue said, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll lie down." After that, he turned around and walked back to his room.

Jiang Xue felt a little hungry, but she looked around and couldn't see Jiang Chenshi. She guessed that her mother might be busy in the kitchen, so she went into the kitchen to look for her. Sure enough, she saw her mother sitting by the stove, and Jiang Chenshi was picking wild vegetables she had picked today.

"Grandma, come with me." Jiang Xue's voice made Jiang Chen put down the wild vegetables in her hand, stand up and follow Jiang Xue out of the kitchen.

After entering Jiang Xue's room, Jiang Chen immediately closed the door and asked curiously, "Sanniu, what's the matter?"

Jiang Xue did not answer directly, but waved her hand gently, and three bags of rice weighing 100 kilograms each, 160 kilograms of Chinese cabbage and 120 kilograms of lettuce immediately appeared on the ground. In addition, she took out two watermelons and placed them aside.
