Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 16 Various Harvests

The two of them stayed together for a while.

Liu Hongchang saw the bamboo forest in front of him and told Qin Jingru that he wanted to find a place to poop and asked her to go first.

Qin Jingru didn't suspect anything and told him to go back early and then left.

Bamboo has a wide range of uses and has economic value, edible value, ornamental value, ecological value and medicinal value.

After successfully hooking up with Qin Jingru in the morning, the space activated the time acceleration of five acres of land.

Although it was not as much as He Wenhui's ten acres of land, Liu Hongchang was very content and did not feel it was too little at all.

Together with the two acres left, he now has seven acres of land that can be used to accelerate time, which means he no longer has to calculate the development space all the time.

Just like pulling ramie, when Liu Hongchang came across the bamboo he wanted to collect, the space instantly helped collect it without him having to dig.

After collecting about ten sticks in a row, he stopped.

When planting bamboo, you don't have to plant the whole root, you can plant the bamboo nodes, so you don't have to collect too much.

Besides, the space is limited, so the planting area doesn’t need to be too large, just enough.

Then he found some apricot trees, peach trees and hawthorn trees not far from the bamboo forest, and there were some saplings around them.

Liu Hongchang's face lit up with joy, and he naturally would not let it go. He collected a few of each small tree.

With such a harvest, and since it was still early, he was not in a hurry to go to Qin Jingru's house, and wandered around the hillside.

What's more, the harvest was huge. Soon he found quite a few plants that could be used to extract dyes.

For example, it can extract red madder and safflower, yellow gardenia and Sophora japonica, and blue woad and indigo.

With these three colors combined, most colors of fabrics can be processed in space.

Thinking that I would raise sheep in the space in the afternoon, I got some grass roots and put them into the space.

Then he planted apples, pears, red dates, apricot trees, peach trees, hawthorns, bamboo, tobacco, dye plants, and ramie.

All of them were planted in one acre of open space. After the time was accelerated, all kinds of plants grew and matured instantly.

And they harvested many fruits, bamboo shoots, tobacco leaves, dyes, ramie, grass, etc.

It’s not much to sell, but it’s definitely enough for my own use.

After pulling out other people's trees, Liu Hongchang had to return them, so he transplanted some saplings from the space one by one according to the quantity.

Although it is not the right season now, the spatial energy accumulated in the saplings is enough to last until spring, and they are 100% likely to survive.

Then Liu Hongchang planted another acre of cotton. After harvesting, he got more than 400 kilograms of cotton. Obviously, the yield per acre was not high.

"There are still five acres of land where time can be accelerated and a pond can be built." Liu Hongchang thought to himself as he saw the reservoir ahead.

With a thought, an acre-sized pond appeared next to the spring in the space, with clear water and sparkling waves.

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the reservoir.

After a while, after arriving at the reservoir, he came to the shore, stretched out his hand to touch the water surface, and the fish under the water instantly appeared in space.

Maybe it was salvaged years ago, so there are not many big fish in it, mostly small fish, but Liu Hongchang doesn't mind.

He first put some cattails, water plants, moss, duckweed, snails, small river shrimps, etc. in the pond for the fish to eat.

After picking and choosing, he collected some grass carp, carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, whitebait, silver carp, perch, turtle, eel and so on.

We didn't pick many of each type of fish, about twenty or thirty, and we picked the smaller ones, and then used time acceleration.

The fish pond in space flickered, the fish grew up, and there were many more fish in the warehouse.

Some weigh a few kilograms, some weigh dozens or hundreds of kilograms, and they are all in their most delicious state.

At the same time, the fish pond was not less crowded, but densely packed, not too many, not too few, and the water area was just enough for the fish to survive. Liu Hongchang picked some half-grown fish and returned them to the reservoir. He was finally satisfied, so he got up and walked back.

Halfway through, he paused and slipped into the space.

The processing plant is very powerful. It not only processes agricultural and sideline products, but also provides bathing, laundry, massage, haircut and manicure services.

However, all services are limited to him only, and outsiders cannot enter the space.

While taking a shower, he also washed his clothes in the washing machine.

Cleaning, decontamination, disinfection, sterilization, drying, etc. are all done in one go, providing a considerate service.

After taking a shower and leaving the space, Liu Hongchang felt refreshed, with a slight smile on his lips. He would be able to experience Qin Jingru's personal service in a moment.

When they arrived at Qin Jingru's house, the woman was standing by the courtyard, waiting anxiously. When she saw Liu Hongchang, her face lit up and she said, "It's time to eat!"

There was wine and meat at noon, six or seven dishes, and the staple food was white flour buns. This meal could be considered a generous treat for Liu Hongchang.

Liu Hongchang felt a little embarrassed because he knew that although life in the countryside was better now, it was still difficult to build like this.

Especially when it comes to eating meat, people in rural areas only have a few meals of it throughout the year. They only eat meat when guests come over or during the New Year and other festivals.

Among Qin Jingru's family, only her father, brother, uncles, etc. can sit at the table.

The other women and children went to the kitchen. It was obvious that the food was just so-so. Not to mention meat, they were even happy to have some soup.

Liu Hongchang met Qin Jingru by chance today. If he had prepared in advance, he could have given her some gifts, but it is not convenient now.

So he made up his mind that he would not leave in a hurry and would make Qin Jingru happy in private, which would be considered as returning the favor.

It was a lively meal. Liu Hongchang didn't eat much, but he drank a pound or two of wine, which made him feel a little drunk, just right.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the women came over to collect the dishes and chopsticks, while Liu Hongchang sat and chatted with Qin Jingru's relatives.

Around 2pm, everyone dispersed. Qin Jingru quietly approached Liu Hongchang and whispered, "I've washed, are you going to wash?"

"I found water outside to wash it. Besides, what's the use of you washing it? The wound hasn't healed yet!" Liu Hongchang replied with a smile.

Qin Jingru chuckled and asked softly, "Didn't you say this morning that you wanted me to eat and drink enough? I'll do it myself today."

"Then what are you waiting for? Find a suitable place." Liu Hongchang looked at her with sharp eyes, his heart burning with anxiety.

Qin Jingru felt like she was about to be swallowed up. She was also very excited and whispered, "The bamboo forest we went to first is rarely visited by people."

Seeing Liu Hongchang nod imperceptibly, Qin Jingru told her family that she would take him for a walk, and then the two of them headed straight for the bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest.

Qin Jingru had her hair loose, revealing her rosy face.

"You didn't lie to me." Liu Hongchang breathed a sigh of relief, and found that Qin Jingru was very clumsy, and he understood.

Qin Jingru hummed in a depressed tone, looked up at him, and blinked her big watery eyes.

Liu Hongchang felt indescribably relaxed. He reached out to push away the messy hair in front of her face and gently pinched her rosy cheeks.

Qin Jingru saw that he looked happy. Although it was a bit hard, he was enjoying it.

"Can you still adapt?" Liu Hongchang asked with concern.

Qin Jingru's pretty face was ruddy. She bit her lips, hummed shyly, and said hesitantly: "I can go into battle with injuries."

Liu Hongchang laughed and signaled Qin Jingru to bend down and bend her back with his eyes.

Qin Jingru's face lit up with joy, and she turned around swiftly...
