Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

So, Jiang Xue and Old Man Jiang went to the front hall together to greet Feng Qingyu.

"Qingyu," Jiang Xue said with a smile, walking forward lightly, "Do you need more food for this season?"

Feng Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating affirmation: "Yes, of course. Miss Jiang, I wonder how your family's harvest is this year?"

Jiang Xue's smile deepened a little, and she replied in a brisk tone: "This year's harvest is very good, and the yield per mu has reached about 1200 kilograms."

When Feng Qingyu heard this number, he felt as if he was electrocuted and became numb in an instant.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he repeated in disbelief: "1200 kilograms per mu? This... How is this possible?"

The first season was already as high as 1200 kilograms, which was really amazing. However, what was even more unexpected was that the second season was also so productive. Feng Qingyu thought to himself, then will the third season...

Jiang Xue seemed to see through his thoughts and nodded slightly, with a confident light in her eyes.

Feng Qingyu felt dizzy. He had never seen such an outrageous yield. If such a high yield could be popularized, which family in the world would lack food in the future? He simply couldn't imagine what a beautiful scene that would be.

"I'll let my brother accompany you to harvest the grain these days. He is very familiar with farmland and harvesting and will definitely be able to help you. I have other things to deal with, so I can't accompany you in person." Jiang Xue explained to Feng Qingyu.

Feng Qingyu nodded, showing her understanding: "Okay, with Brother Jiang's help, I will be able to complete the task successfully. Just go and do your thing, don't worry about me."

Jiang Xue looked at Feng Qingyu gratefully. She knew that he was always a trustworthy person. So she said, "Thank you and my brother for your hard work. After you finish harvesting the grain, I will treat you to a meal and thank you."

Feng Qingyu smiled and said, "Okay, we look forward to your feast."

......

Three days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Jiang Xue, who was busy planting and managing rice and fruits, heard a clear call: "Miss, Dashanbo just asked you to go and see that the ducks have laid eggs, and they have laid a lot of eggs!"

This sudden voice interrupted Jiang Xue's thoughts. She looked up and saw Chen Yuxi standing at the door. Chen Yuxi's face was filled with excitement, and she seemed to be very excited about the news.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, and a sense of intimacy surged in her heart. She knew that she had not visited the duck farm for a while, and had been fully devoted to the planting and management of crops during this period. The recipe for the extremely delicious duck products had also been shelved for some time, and the small farmer had urged her many times.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue decided to put down what she was doing and go to the farm in person. She wanted to witness the surprise brought by those cute ducks. So, she tidied her clothes and followed Chen Yuxi to the farm.

Along the way, Jiang Xue was in a good mood. She was looking forward to seeing the fresh duck eggs and imagining how they would become delicious duck products.

When Jiang Xue arrived at the farm, she was attracted by the scene before her.

As soon as Dashanbo filled the water tank with water, a group of ducks came over with their wings spread wide, and rushed to bury their duckbill in the water, making "bajibaji" sounds, as if they were enjoying a feast.

Their expressions seemed very satisfied, which made Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh.

However, when the ducks gathered around, Jiang Xue noticed many duck eggs scattered on the ground.

She remembered that she had designed a hay patch specifically for the ducks to lay their eggs, but now she saw that the eggs were all laid on the ground.

She was a little confused, so she asked Jiang Dashan: "Uncle Dashan, how come all these duck eggs are on the ground? I remember I laid out a hay field for them."

Jiang Dashan explained with a smile: "Chief, these ducks may feel more comfortable on the ground, so they laid their eggs here. But don't worry, I have already started collecting these eggs and will not let them go to waste."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded slightly, then reached out to open the fence gate and walked in with light steps.

She squatted down, carefully crouched on the hay floor, and gently turned the hay with her hands.

Suddenly, she was surprised to find that the hay was full of round, snow-white duck eggs! The entire hay field was almost filled with duck eggs, and there was no extra space for the ducks to continue laying eggs.

"Haha, you little guys have been eating so well recently that you've laid so many eggs!" Jiang Xue said to herself ecstatically while looking at the flock of ducks.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she saw the fruits of her hard work. These duck eggs are not only food, but also the hope and motivation for the rapid development of her duck farm.

"Chief, how can we finish eating so many duck eggs? There are still many goose eggs." Jiang Dashan said worriedly as he looked at the eggs all over the ground.

Jiang Xue smiled and responded: "We really can't finish all of this, so let's make some salted duck eggs and preserved eggs!"

"I know salted duck eggs. They're the ones distributed during the last Mid-Autumn Festival. They taste great. But what are preserved eggs? I'm not sure." Jiang Dashan asked curiously.

Jiang Xue patiently explained: "Pidan, also known as Songhua Egg, is made from duck eggs or chicken eggs that have been pickled using a special process. It has a unique texture and taste. The egg white of the Pidan becomes transparent with beautiful pine flower patterns on it, while the yolk becomes fragrant and mellow, and is very delicious."

Jiang Dashan suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is! Then these eggs can be sold at a good price after being made into salted duck eggs and preserved eggs!"

"You send the collected duck eggs to the factory. I will go and gather people now." Jiang Xue said to Jiang Dashan.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Jiang Dashan responded. He understood Jiang Xue's intention and also knew how important these duck eggs were to the next work.

Jiang Dashan acted quickly and began to organize people to collect duck eggs.

As soon as Jiang Xue arrived at the village entrance, she saw the villagers queuing up in an orderly manner. On the other side were the yamen runners who were calculating this year's taxes.

"I am looking to recruit thirty people and plan to open a new egg processing factory. After you finish your current work, those who are interested in signing up can find my eldest brother." Jiang Xue announced to the villagers present.

When the villagers heard the news, they gathered around and showed great interest.

"What does this egg processing factory do? What kind of work can we do there?" a villager asked curiously.

Jiang Xue patiently explained: "This egg processing factory is mainly used to process the duck eggs we raise to make a variety of delicious egg products, such as salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. The staff we need include cleaners, picklers, packers, etc. Specific positions will be assigned according to everyone's skills and experience."

"We will formulate the remuneration based on market conditions and everyone's efforts, but I can guarantee that as long as everyone works hard, we will give reasonable compensation and benefits." Jiang Xue replied.

After hearing this, the villagers expressed their willingness to join this new egg processing factory.
