"Marshal, what are these?" Among the fanatical fans of Xi Qing, Jiang Shun was the only one who was a little more normal. He was surprised to see the fruitful crops growing around him.

"These are food. I called you here today to restore your spiritual strength." Huo Yan said this, and everyone who was thinking about other things quickly stood up straight and looked at him seriously.

"Marshal, can mental strength really be restored?" Sun Ze asked with great anticipation.

"of course."

"Then how do we do it?!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Huo Yan pointed to the surroundings: "It's very simple, harvest all these things, and that's it."

"...Harvest?" Everyone was stunned. What does this mean?

Huo Yan looked at Xi Qing and motioned him to teach these people how to harvest.

Although Xi Qing didn't know what this had to do with restoring his mental power, he temporarily put his doubts in his mind and began to demonstrate to Shen Jian and others how to harvest crops.

In fact, it is very simple, just break off the corn from the pole, and then put the empty pole aside. As for sweet potatoes and potatoes, it is more convenient, just dig them out.

After listening to it, several people expressed that there was no problem, rolled up their sleeves and started to work. In the beginning, they didn't really take Huo Yan's words of restoring mental strength to heart, but because the marshal spoke, they started to do it.

But gradually, everyone seemed to notice the difference.

After digging out hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes, Sun Ze suddenly stopped and looked at his hands: "Adjutant Jiang, why do I feel more comfortable?"

Sun Ze didn't think about the direction of mental power, he just felt that a warm current slowly surged up in his body as he worked, not only did he not feel tired, but he became more energetic the more he worked.

"Check your mental strength." Jiang Shun had noticed this change early in the morning, so he was not surprised, and looked at him very calmly.

Sun Ze checked it suspiciously, and in the next second, he said in surprise: "My God! My mental strength is really improving!"

In fact, it only changed a small part, but after the last war, Sun Ze has been brooding about his destroyed spiritual power, and he has to repeat it several times every day, so even if there is only a small change today, he is very concerned. Quickly found out.

"Could it be that what the marshal said is true!" Sun Ze's eyes lighted up. Such a small amount of work can produce such good results. If he came to work every day, wouldn't he be fine soon!

Not only him, but all the other people who responded one after another also had such thoughts. They all looked at Huo Yan with burning eyes, and made up their minds that the Marshal must let them stay and continue working later!

While the members of the Eighth Army were working, Xi Qing was not idle either. He was planting his own new crops in a piece of vacant land.

The weather today was fine, cloudless and sunny, Xi Qing squatted on the ground, her fair face was tanned red, her eyes staring at the ground were sparkling, and she exuded a sense of vigor.

When Huo Yan walked over, he saw Xi Qing like this.

He paused for a moment before continuing to take two steps forward: "What are you doing?"

"Brother Yan, I'm going to get the items from the auction after preparation." Xi Qing put down his little hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There are too many people here, he can't become a groundhog, he can only use tools to sow seeds, but this kind of thing is still not as convenient as his own claws, Xi Qing feels that his farming speed is much slower.

Huo Yan was a little puzzled: "Auction?"

"correct."

Xi Qing nodded. Energy stones are a precious substance that is hard to find in the first place. In addition, if they are sold at the auction house, the price will definitely be higher when people loot them. Xi Qing only has the strawberries that he sold before. The rest of the money is definitely not enough.

Xi Qing thought about it, and decided to grow some rare fruits, and then take them to the auction house for auction. In this way, he can use the money obtained from the auction to buy energy stones.

When Huo Yan came, Xi Qing had already planted everything. He pointed to the land in front of him and introduced them one by one: "This is cherries, this is Xiangyinqingti, this is Yubari King melon, and this , this is ginseng!"

These Xi Qing species can be sold at very expensive prices on Earth, and they are certainly not bad in Interstellar.

But Xi Qing was also a little afraid that the people in Interstellar had never heard of this kind of fruit. If they didn’t know about it, they wouldn’t know how precious it is. They might not be able to sell it at that time, so they could only ask Huo Yan first: “Have you heard of it?” These?"

Huo Yan turned his gaze to the land in front of him: "Three years ago, the emperor's mother was seriously ill. In order to help her breathe, the emperor asked for a century-old ginseng from the Liao family and spent 50 yuan energy stones."

"50 yuan!" Xi Qing was so excited that he clenched his hands involuntarily.

"Last year, apart from hard materials such as energy stones and real estate, the highest price at the auction was the cantaloupe grown in the No. [-] Orchard. Is this the melon you're talking about?" Huo Yan asked.

Xi Qing nodded: "Yes, this is it!"

Yubari King melon is similar to cantaloupe, but it is much tastier and more expensive than ordinary cantaloupe.

Huo Yan: "On the emperor's birthday this year, the Academy of Sciences presented cherries as a birthday gift, but the total yield grown by the Academy of Sciences was only ten catties, so I only saw photos."

There are also green grapes, but the taste of green grapes on the market is too sour, so they can’t be sold at all. They can only be sold to wineries to make wine every time, but the price of the wine is not good, so they come and go again and again. , there is no mention of race.

After Huo Yan told Xi Qing about the situation, he added: "The same goes for grapes."

Xi Qing quickly said that there is no need to worry: "The green grapes I grow are super delicious, you will know if you try them tomorrow."

Xi Qing actually doesn’t like grapes very much, he prefers to eat grapes, but Xiangyinqing grapes are really delicious, juicy and sweet. Eat a lot.

Huo Yan looked at his confident smile and nodded.

Not long after, Shen Jian and the others had already harvested, Xi Qing put the seeds in the planter, and when he was about to operate the machine to start sowing, Sun Ze immediately became anxious: "Madam, how about I help you! "

Sun Zelong had only met Xi Qing once, and he was not as familiar with him as Shen Jian and Jiang Shun, so he didn't know that Xi Qing was not used to hearing this name, and he immediately called it out when he was anxious, and he had a loud voice , the sound was like a bell, such a shout, directly made Xi Qing blush.

"I, I... just call me Xi Qing." Xi Qing quickly explained.

Sun Ze looked at Huo Yan, saw that the latter didn't respond, and didn't change his address, and said with a smile: "It's so hot today, let me help you, just teach me."

"Okay." Xi Qing originally planned to tell them how to do it, but now that Sun Ze asked, he simply started talking while operating.

The tool is very simple, and you can understand it after just a few sentences. After the machine is started, people don't need to guard here. Huo Yan looked at everyone: "It's okay, you go back first."

If this was normal, they would have left as soon as Huo Yan spoke, but today everyone didn't move, instead they looked at Xi Qing expectantly.

Xi Qing who was stared at suddenly: "??" What's the matter?

Shen Jian said: "Marshal, why don't we help with the sowing and harvesting of these grains?"

Xi Qing was a little confused, he thought that Shen Jian and the others were the ones Huo Yan called to help, but Shen Jian suddenly asked again, could it be that he misunderstood?

He looked at Huo Yan, but the latter frowned: "Are you willing?"

"Yes, of course!" Everyone nodded in unison, 1 people are willing!They are willing to do this kind of good thing that can restore their mental strength for a lifetime!

"But this kind of good thing, not only you, but many people are waiting to do it, and I can't make up my mind..." Huo Yan looked at Xi Qing, "You have to ask Madam for her opinion."

"Madam, please, let us help!"

"Yes ma'am, we do things very quickly!"

"Ma'am, you will never find anything we can do. We were born to farm the land!"

Everyone hurriedly opened their mouths, if they were not concerned that Huo Yan was still here, they would probably hug Xi Qing's arms and beg.

Xi Qing was stunned, what was it all about, and didn't he want them to help? How did it turn into them begging him to do something?

He looked at Huo Yan with some doubts, but Huo Yan raised his lips: "Are you willing?"

"sure."

As soon as Xi Qing finished speaking, everyone cheered, and they went to check with great enthusiasm whether the seeds planted by the planting machine had any problems.

Huo Yan looked at Xi Qing's still bewildered expression and smiled: "This is a good thing for them, and it will help their mental power recover."

Huo Yan could definitely tell Shen Jian and the others that they would not refuse to help harvest the grain, but they would not be grateful either.

Huo Yan is the marshal, the leader, and the idol in their hearts, so no matter what he says, they will obey him unconditionally.

But Xi Qing is just his fiancé to them, if the relationship with Huo Yan is removed, they treat Xi Qing no differently than they treat strangers.

The reason why Huo Yan didn't tell them directly to let them plant the land every day, but let them come to harvest the grain first, was to let them discover the benefits themselves.

In this way, they would want to take the initiative to stay. At this time, let Xi Qing come forward and agree to it, so that they can remember Xi Qing's goodness.

Shen Jian and the others are his comrades in arms, Huo Yan naturally will not harm their interests, he just hopes to use these small details to let them know Xi Qing better.

In this way, even without him in the future, these people can continue to stand by Xi Qing's side.

Huo Yan's career is not safe, coupled with the pressure from the royal family, he may encounter more near-death situations in the future, he must handle everything for Xi Qing from now on, so that he can have no worries.

Xi Qing didn't notice Huo Yan's deep gaze, and all his attention was on what he said could restore mental power. Thinking of what the system told him before, Xi Qing was finally able to confirm: "The fruit I grow can really Does it work on mental power?"

And it's so amazing, can just planting and harvesting improve mental power?

[Of course, the plants themselves have mental power fluctuations. After staying among these plants for a long time, you can feel this fluctuation. In addition, these people are all mentally strong, and the body will naturally absorb this external mental power. lead into the body. 】

"Then I can set the price a little higher?!" The rich man Xi immediately thought of this, and his eyes lit up.

Huo Yan looked at his smile, his heart was so soft that he was in a mess, and said softly: "Of course."

Plants such as corn are not like strawberries. After planting once, they can be branched and planted again. These plants are useless after harvesting.

Looking at the piles of corn cobs and sweet potato leaves piled up on the side, Xi Qing thought for a while, and planned to buy some livestock such as pigs, ducks and geese, so that these plants could be used as fodder to feed poultry without fear of waste.

After hearing Xi Qing's plan, Huo Yan asked Sun Ze to accompany Xi Qing to the livestock market. There are quite a lot of livestock in the livestock market. Xi Qing bought ten piglets, fifty chickens and ducks, and five rabbits. , Returned to the villa with a full load.

Xi Qing divided an area in the corner of the villa and locked them up by category. After everything was done, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xi Qing washed a lot of strawberries, sweet potatoes and apples, and distributed them to everyone. Shen Jian and the others were drinking the nutrient solution, and they were very excited when they saw it.

They also love to surf the Internet, so they already knew that Xi Qing's strawberries were sold at sky-high prices on Xingwang.

Sun Ze immediately handed over the nutrient solution in his hand: "Madam, this is not as good as your fruit, so you can still drink it."

Knowing that they were coming to see Xi Qing today, Sun Ze deliberately brought two extra bottles.

Xi Qing thanked and took it, "Is this also a nutrient solution?"

Huo Yan nodded: "Yes, the nutrient solution specially provided by the Eighth Army, 3S grade."

Only the Eighth Army of the entire empire has such good treatment, and the best nutrient solution level of others is only 2S level.

Xi Qing's eyes lit up. He had heard of the legendary 3S nutrient solution many times, but he had never had the chance to drink it. He quickly opened the bottle and took a sip. In the next second, he almost swallowed this precious nutrient solution. Spit it out.

Huo Yan saw that his face was a little strange, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"It's so bitter." Xi Qing's face was wrinkled. In fact, it was not only bitter, but also very irritating. When he drank it, his mouth and throat were stinging.

Huo Yan frowned: "Bitter?"

"That's right." Xi Qing nodded, but this feeling is very familiar, he seems to have encountered it before... "I remembered, the 2S nutrient solution I drank before also had this feeling, but it was not as strong. "

Xi Qing drank 2S level twice in total, each time left a deep impression on him, so this time he immediately remembered it.

Huo Yan frowned, opened a bottle and took a sip, but he didn't find anything wrong: "Why don't you try mine..."

Huo Yan was about to pour the nutrient solution in his own bottle into Xi Qing's bottle. After all, he had already drank this bottle, but Xi Qing took the bottle in his hand and took a big gulp.

In the next second, Xi Qing's entire face turned red from the bitterness: "It's still so bitter, the taste is the same, Brother Yan, you...why is your face turning red too?"

Huo Yan took his gaze away from the glass bottle in his hand, and hastily coughed twice to cover up: "It's okay, since there is a problem, let's put it away first."

He turned his head to look at Shen Jian: "Don't drink any more, take all these nutrient solutions home, and have them checked by the military doctor, there will be no problem."

Shen Jian nodded: "Yes."

Xi Qing has always been wondering why these nutrient solutions, which are not at all strange in other people's mouths, become strange when they are in his hands.

"System, I don't think it's because I'm not acclimatized that this abnormality appears?"

[No, if the water and soil are not acclimatized, why is it okay for you to drink the nutrient solution in the cafeteria? 】

right.

Xi Qing was even more puzzled immediately, but he had only tasted barbecue and snail powder flavors in the canteen. In order to verify whether he was immune to the canteen's nutrient solution, Xi Qing took all the flavors after returning to school. I bought all of them.

The canteen aunt looked at him in shock.

But the result was the same as before, Xi Qing drank all the more than ten flavors of nutrient solution in the cafeteria in one go, hiccups all smelled of nutrient solution, and the bitter and irritating feeling before did not appear again.

Xi Qing quickly told Huo Yan about the difference, but the military doctor's examination did not come out.

On the weekend, Xi Qing found time to go to Capital Star, but instead of looking for Huo Yan, he came to the First Orchard.

As soon as he met the person in charge, Xi Qing told him why he came: "I plan to start selling apples."

The person in charge was stunned for a moment. He thought Xi Qing would take out strawberries again, but he didn't expect it to be an ordinary apple. When he was about to persuade Xi Qing, the next second, he saw a red one that was emitting a strawberry. Apple with natural fruity aroma.

All of a sudden, all the sense of loss dissipated.

"That's the kind of apple."

The eyeballs of the person in charge were almost glued to the apples. He always thought that the apples in their orchard were already the best apples in the whole universe, and the price was sky-high, but compared to the one Xi Qing brought out , the apple he has always been proud of was directly smashed without any dregs left.

"What about the pricing?" The person in charge was full of confidence, no matter how high the price was, the apples would definitely be sold out.

The price of the apples that Xu Lei bought was about [-], and the price of apples from the first orchard was [-]. Xi Qing thought about it and set the price at [-].

"Seven thousand, isn't it too cheap?" The person in charge felt that such a good apple could be doubled at least.

"No." The profit of [-] is enough, and Xi Qing's most important purpose is not to make profit, but to promote corn.

He took out a bag of corn seeds, which had been processed and could be planted directly as seeds.

"This is?" The person in charge was a little puzzled.

"Here's the corn seed that came with the apple."

If you want to save the world from famine, it is definitely not possible to rely on Xi Qing's ability alone. You must mobilize other people to plant together.

After all, famine is not a short-lived disaster like earthquakes and floods. Famine can last for a long time, as short as a month or two, or as long as several years. To survive smoothly, there must be sufficient food reserves.

Corn is easier to grow than rice, and seeds are easier to obtain than sweet potatoes and potatoes. Xi Qing thought about it and made it the first food for the pilot.

All those who want to buy apples will be randomly given five corn seeds. As long as they are planted, they can use the seeds to receive free fruits again.

"Then what if someone lost the seeds?" asked the person in charge.

This situation is not impossible. Some people don't care about money at all. Instead, they will throw away the seeds because they find it troublesome to grow corn. Next time, they can continue to buy with money.

"Then I will trouble you." Xi Qing said with a smile.

The laws of this world are very strict, as long as there is a little violation of the law, it can be directly brought to court, and as long as the relevant evidence is sent to the optical brain, it will have legal effects.

Therefore, as long as you sell apples, let those who buy them sign a letter of guarantee, in which you promise that you will plant corn, and then after you go back, you must upload the growth of the seeds on time three times a day.

As long as the photos are taken, it will be obvious at a glance whether he cares about raising Xi Qing or fooling Xi Qing casually.

Then upload the letter of guarantee to the optical brain, which is already protected by law. At that time, as long as someone violates the provisions of the contract, he can be directly held accountable, and he will be pulled back to the blacklist forever. The product of an orchard.

This was just the first step, and soon, Xi Qing brought out a lot of whole corn. Looking at the plump and fresh corn cobs in front of him, the person in charge was a little puzzled: "Do you want us to peel off the corn kernels?"

"No." Xi Qing shook his head with a smile, "Before we sell apples, we will sell corn first, and we will sell it in a big way."

Corn is delicious, whether boiled or roasted, especially compared to the bland nutrient solution.

Moreover, corn is a staple food, which can bring nutrient solution and fruit without satiety. As long as you eat it once, you will definitely fall in love with it.

The reason why Xi Qing chose to sell corn in a big way is to let more corn be bought, so that they will never forget the taste, and when they want to buy it again, there is no stock, not only not now, but also in the future. will not have.

The only way to eat it is to grow it yourself.

At this time, even the apples sold with corn kernels just happened to be on the market, and I wanted to eat corn.Looking at the signed letter of guarantee, Xi Qing believes that 90.00% of the people will choose to grow corn.

After the person in charge listened, his eyes lit up: "Wonderful! This way, we don't have to worry about wasting corn seeds!"

"That's right, there's one more thing, add a clause to the guarantee letter, all apples can't be resold."

Xi Qing's request made the person in charge feel that it was unnecessary. After all, everyone couldn't get enough of such good apples, so how could they possibly sell them?

But he didn't ask too much, nodded and said, "Does that require purchase restrictions?"

"Need." The most important thing for Xi Qing is to spread the popularity of the corn, and the number of people who buy it must be large to have this effect, "One person can have up to three corn."

"Okay, but the cooking method..." People in the empire have never heard of corn, let alone how to cook it.

"I can teach you how to do it." This is very simple and does not require any skills, and Xi Qing, who is not very skilled in cooking, can do it, "Does your orchard have branches on other planets, can you call one of the people from each branch back?" ? I want to sell the eight main planets together."

"Yes." The person in charge has long been told by Huo Yan that he must cooperate with Xi Qing's work to the greatest extent.

A day later, a post appeared on the official blog of First Orchard:

Corn is on the line, physical sales, there are discounts for early purchase.

After reading this post, everyone had the same doubt: what is corn?
