Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business
Chapter 204 Don’t we have watermelons planted in our backyard?
After hearing Jiang Xue's call, Jiang Quan nodded slowly, then turned around and walked towards the headman's house with firm and powerful steps.
Not long after, an energetic and kind-looking old man appeared in the field of vision - that was Jiang Xue's grandfather!
At this moment, he was rushing to the fields accompanied by Jiang Quan.
As soon as he saw his granddaughter, Grandpa Jiang asked anxiously, "Sanniu, what happened? Why did you call me here in such a hurry?" Obviously, he thought something big had happened.
Seeing her grandfather's nervous expression, Jiang Xue quickly pointed to the rapeseed field in front of her and explained, "Grandpa, look, these rapeseeds are ripe!"
"What? It's ripe?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang quickly stepped forward and looked at the rapeseed field carefully.
He bent down, gently picked up a handful of rapeseed, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and felt the plump grains and rich aroma.
After confirming with Jiang Xue that everything was correct, Mr. Jiang showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Village head, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us what you want to say!" everyone asked impatiently.
"Please be patient and listen to me slowly. The thing is, the rapeseed in our field has matured and is about to be harvested. So, I thought of asking everyone to come over tomorrow morning to help harvest these rapeseeds together. Of course, I won't let you work in vain. Each person will be paid 60 cents a day. I wonder what you think..."
Before Mr. Jiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by the villagers' chattering.
"Oh, that thing is finally cooked!" "Yes, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time!" Everyone was so excited that they didn't pay any attention to what the head of the village said afterwards, let alone the matter of the 50 cents daily wage.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds - to quickly harvest those golden rapeseed flowers!
You know, for them, these rapeseeds that can be pressed for oil are the treasure of life! Thinking of the upcoming harvest season, everyone's heart is filled with joy and hope.
"Village head, what did you just say?" One of the villagers asked again curiously, as if he didn't hear clearly what Mr. Jiang said.
Mr. Jiang repeated patiently, "I said, if you come to help harvest rapeseed tomorrow, I will pay you sixty cents a day."
However, the villagers were not happy about the wages as usual. Instead, they seemed a little surprised and dissatisfied.
One of the villagers shouted, "Who wants wages? Isn't this completely unscrupulous?"
Another villager echoed, "That's right, these are rapeseed seeds that can produce oil! We help harvest them, not only for the village, but also for ourselves. We can plant these seeds in the future, which is a long-term benefit!"
Other villagers also nodded in agreement.
They spoke excitedly, their faces filled with anticipation for a good harvest and longing for the future.
Seeing this, Mr. Jiang felt relieved. He understood that the villagers did not really want wages, but valued the unity and future development of the village more.
He smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, then it's settled. Everyone come early tomorrow and we will work together to harvest all the rapeseed in this village."
"Haha, that's great, I've finally waited for this day!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I will come early tomorrow and will never be late!"
Seeing this, Mr. Jiang felt relieved, knowing that he would be able to harvest the rapeseed successfully this time.
He smiled and said to everyone: "It's settled then. See you tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work!"
The villagers nodded in agreement and then dispersed to prepare for the upcoming harvest.
As night falls, the lights in the village gradually light up, and every household is immersed in a busy and orderly dinner.
However, tomorrow's harvest has become the hottest topic among the villagers' conversations.
They exchanged ideas with each other about rapeseed and discussed methods and techniques of harvesting, as if they couldn't wait to start tomorrow's work.
At this time, the Jiang family courtyard was also unusually lively. The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the warmth of dinner.
"Grandpa, the rapeseed harvest will be left to you tomorrow. I'm going to Taohua Village to harvest watermelons." Jiang Xue said cheerfully while shoveling rice into her mouth.
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he was startled and raised his head to ask, "Are the watermelons in Taohua Village ripe too?"
Jiang Xue looked at Grandpa Jiang and asked in confusion, "Really? Are the watermelons ripe in other places?" She thought about it carefully and realized that she had not arranged for watermelon planting in other places.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and explained, "Don't we have watermelons planted in our backyard? The vines were all dead, and your grandma was reluctant to pick them. I thought they must be ripe, so I picked one and tasted it. It was so sweet."
Jiang Wangshi interrupted and said, "Yes, I cut a little for everyone to try in the afternoon. There is still a lot! I will bring it out for everyone to try after dinner."
After hearing this, Jiang Xue showed a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that the watermelons grown in her backyard could be so sweet.
She quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll serve it out with grandma after dinner."
After the family finished their meal, Jiang Wang brought out the sliced watermelon. The bright red flesh exuded an alluring aroma that made people salivate. Jiang Xue couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it. It was indeed so sweet that it made people intoxicated.
While eating, she said to Mr. Jiang, "Grandpa, you'll have a hard time harvesting rapeseed tomorrow. But the watermelons in Taohua Village are also important. I have to go and take a look."
Mr. Jiang nodded, showing his understanding. He said, "Go ahead. The watermelons from Taohua Village are also one of our incomes. We can't be careless. Don't worry about the family affairs. I will take care of it."
Shangjing Nangong Villa
On a mountain near Shangjing, there is a unique mansion hidden - Nangong Villa. The villa is surrounded by green trees and flowers, and it is quiet and solemn. Today, the atmosphere in the villa is particularly tense and solemn.
In an elegantly decorated study room in the villa, Prince Xuan Yuchen (Jiang Chen) was sitting at the desk, reviewing the documents in his hands attentively.
He has a handsome face, and his brows reveal a majestic temperament without any anger.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the study door, interrupting the master's thoughts.
"Come in." Xuan Yuchen raised his head and said in a deep voice.
The door slowly opened, and a man in black tights walked in. He was Xuan Yuchen's personal bodyguard - An Yi.
An Yi looked serious, as if he had brought some important news.
"Master," An Yi walked up to the master, bowed his head and said respectfully, "The Second Master wants you to come over."
Xuan Yuchen frowned slightly, stopped what he was doing, and looked up at An Yi.
Xuan Yuchen's uncle summoned him at this time, so it must be something important.
"Got it." Xuan Yuchen nodded and stood up.
He straightened his robe and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his emotions.
Then he took firm steps and walked out of the study.
