Super Farming Tycoon

173 Fool (2)

If she wanted water, she would let it in through the ditch.

In the drylands, when it didn’t rain, she would have to fetch water from rivers or ditches to water the vegetables, the way Grandma did at the river every morning or afternoon.

“That’s good. Grandpa will make the decision. I’ll give you that horn-shaped piece of land,” Grandpa said. “Eldest Brother, do you have any objections?”

The piece of land was given to Eldest Uncle’s family.

Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt smiled and said, “Of course, we won’t have any objections! We don’t have a shortage of land.”

Their family had planted fifteen acres of land. Other than five acres of land with watermelons, the remaining ten acres were all planted with rice.

Then, they contracted three more mountains and planted close to three thousand orange trees.

Therefore, although they had a lot of people, they also had a lot of work to do.

They would have less work cut out for them with that of land parceled out to Gu Qingming.

“Ming’er, what are you going to plant?” Grandma asked in confusion. “Don’t tell me you want to plant vegetables too after watering them for a few days?”

“Speaking of cabbages, Mom, how did you grow these vegetables? Why are they so delicious? They’re tender and sweet,” Second Aunt said with a smile. “When I cooked this dish, I almost finished everything in the pot.”

“That’s right. And the rest of the vegetables are also so delicious.”

Grandma Shi was also puzzled. “How else can I plant them? I planted them the same way we planted them in the past! I’m also curious. The vegetables grown on these few plots of land actually taste so good.”

“It seems that growing vegetables is also a skill for Grandma,” Second Sister-in-law said with a smile. “Otherwise, why is it that her vegetables are better than others when they are all from the same source?”

“This is perfect,” Jiang Yao said. “Second Aunt is good at cooking and Grandma is good at growing vegetables. It’s a perfect combination. Our family is in for a treat.”

“Good vegetables and good culinary skills, it’s indeed a perfect combination!” Shi Hangyu smiled and said, “Grandma, do you still have those vegetables? Pick some more!”

Grandma Shi rolled her eyes and said angrily, “There’s nothing else.”

Ever since she first realized that these dishes were delicious, she had picked them several times. Now that she was about to pluck the field bald, Shi Hangyu still wanted to pluck more.

“Alright then. We’ll wait for the rest of the vegetables to be grown.” Shi Hangyu said somewhat disappointedly, “But Grandma, these vegetables won’t be stolen, right?”

“We’re all from the same village. Who would steal vegetables?” Grandma snapped. “These vegetables are just cheap goods, not gold, silver, or jewelry. Why do we have to guard against thieves!”

“That’s not necessarily true!” Shi Yaoqing said, “You can hear it every day in the village. Those who steal chives and cabbages steal this and that. Grandma, the vegetables you grow are so delicious. You’ll definitely provoke thieves.”

“Hehe…” Grandma chuckled. “I, Lai Jiaoying, have never had my vegetables stolen. Ming’er, what are you planning to plant with these five pieces of land?”

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I don’t know for the time being! Grandma, what can we plant now?”

“You can plant seedlings in autumn now. Peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and so on. You can plant anything you want,” said Eldest Aunt.

“I want to build a greenhouse!” Gu Qingming decided. “I want to build a greenhouse. Eldest Uncle, do you know anyone who builds a greenhouse?”

“Build a greenhouse?”

The whole family was puzzled.

“Mingming, are you going to grow greenhouse vegetables?”

They all asked.

“Yes, I want to make greenhouse vegetables! Even if it’s only five plots, I want to experiment!” Gu Qingming said.

“No, sister, it’s not that I want to discourage you, but you don’t even know how to grow ordinary crops, yet you’re still investing in greenhouse vegetables. Aren’t you obviously incurring losses!” Shi Yaoqing said excitedly, “We know you have money, but this isn’t how you spend it.”

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Third Brother, I don’t know how to plant it. Don’t you know how to plant it? You will definitely help me, right?”

Shi Yaoqing’s third aunt patted his head.

Third Aunt said in amusement, “Are you looking forward to your sister going to farm alone? Don’t you know how to help? You silly thing!”

Shi Yaoqing was a little embarrassed as he said, “It’s just that I didn’t come around for a while. Mom, you hit me too hard. My head hurts from your slap.”

“You deserve it!” Third Aunt smiled and said, “How did I give birth to someone with such a low EQ like you? Fortunately, Mingming is one of us and won’t be calculative. If anyone else heard this, they definitely wouldn’t give you a good look.”

If his sister wanted to farm, he really thought that she would do it alone.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll get someone to contact the master about building the greenhouse tomorrow!” Eldest Uncle confirmed again. “Mingming, this is just five plots of land. Are you really going to plant greenhouse vegetables?”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve already decided. Then I’ll ask Eldest Uncle to contact Master.”

“Alright, I’ll go look for him tomorrow!”

… .

In order not to attract attention, Gu Qingming had watered the smaller vegetables with more spiritual spring water in the past two days.

Then, the vegetables in the past two days soared, catching up to the ones that had grown well at the beginning.

The growth was no longer eye-catching.

Anyway, everything was better now.

This surprised some villagers who passed by the roadside.

These vegetables were actually competitive.

“Jiaoying, your vegetables all look the same. How did they grow so fast?”

“What can I do? I just water them every day,” Grandma said with a smile. “They probably fell asleep a few days ago and grew up by themselves.”

“Haha, what you said makes sense! However, your vegetables are really strange. They even grow so regularly when they sleep.”

“It looks tender. Jiaoying, I’ll pick one and cook it at home.”

The usually generous Lai Jiaoying said protectively, “That won’t do!”

The villagers were speechless.

Wasn’t it just a few leaves? Why did she become so stingy?
