The western plantation began planting vegetable seedlings, and a new bridge over the Ku River started construction.
Villagers from Village One and Village Two planted the seeds they harvested last autumn. They didn't plan to start seedlings first, planting directly if the seeds allowed.
Tian Jing went to the plantation to observe the vegetable seedlings being planted. Although she had nurtured the seedlings, the land was new, and she still needed to secretly cheat.
Wei Xiaoyong and his team had taken out millions in loans. If the first year wasn't successful, it would not only strike their confidence but also damage their reputation.
Every time she passed by the greenhouses of Village One and Village Two, seeing the disappointed expressions of the villagers, Tian Jing suppressed the urge to channel her powers into the greenhouses.
How long could she help?
If she secretly helped with the seeds planted by the villagers, wouldn't they think she was a big fraud from the beginning?
Thinking that she had not only defrauded them but also the entire nation, because the seeds bought from all over the country, when self-saved, could no longer grow vegetables and fruits as good as those nurtured by her.
In the future, if she were no longer in Ku Mountain, or if she stopped secretly channeling her powers into the greenhouses of Village One and Village Two, the impact on the villagers after a sudden poor harvest would be even greater.
Therefore, a clean break was best.
The villagers of Village One and Village Two envied Tian Jing's frequent visits to the western plantation, but they couldn't say anything.
One day, Tian Jing casually asked them why they didn't abandon the greenhouses.
The villagers shook their heads, saying they were just farmers and couldn't do anything else if they didn't farm in the greenhouses. They had already earned a lot of money from them, and now it was good to be able to grow enough for daily expenses.
Tian Jing went directly to the village committee and asked Zhou Chengbing to think of a solution for the villagers of Village One and Village Two. If everyone grew vegetables, they would rot if they couldn't be sold.
Buying packaging machines and making pickled vegetables and pickled beans as side businesses would also be good. In the past, they relied on her entirely, but now that she had let go, they couldn't stand on their own?
Zhou Chengbing nodded repeatedly, saying he would go to Village One and Village Two to see if they should set up a pickled vegetable factory.
Tian Jing left with a wave, "If you also rely on our giant infants, step down early."
Zhou Chengbing's face flushed.
Secretary Niu patted his shoulder, "Village Chief Zhou, look at County Magistrate Li. Although his achievements as town mayor were not as great as when he was the village chief of Ku Mountain, he did put in effort. It's just that the terrain of Zhonghe Village and Zhangshan Village is not good, and they are also difficult to support."
"Now, in the relocation of Zhangshan Village and Zhonghe Village, he is also fighting for the villagers' benefits. All the construction projects of Aodu Group have also been confirmed by him."
"In other words, he will do everything he takes on with great care. Even if you are disappointed with some things, you cannot fail the common people, because you are the village chief."
Zhou Chengbing said shamefully, "I'll go to Village One and Village Two now."
...
The vegetable and fruit seedlings in the western plantation were growing very well. Seeing that they no longer needed her 'special care,' Tian Jing decided to go to Kyoto.
Before going to Kyoto, she went to the specialty team and brought吉祥 (Ji Xiang) and吉庆 (Ji Qing).
Zeng Jingchu and Yulia's bodies showed no further changes, indicating they had fully recovered.
However, Tian Jing was still not at ease. She told them not to let Ji Qing and Ji Xiang stay overnight, and that the two children should spend the night at Li Wanting's place.
Ji Qing didn't particularly like Zeng Dad, but Ji Xiang did, so he had to follow his younger brother.
Tian Jing reminded Zeng Jingchu, "Ji Qing clearly rejects you. You have wronged Xiao Fu and Hua'er."
Zeng Jingchu nodded solemnly, "Give us some time. Yulia and I will both work hard."
Tian Jing looked at Ji Qing leaning on the little black, shook her head, and said, "If the resistance remains, don't force it. Let Ji Qing stay with Wanting."
Zeng Jingchu looked at Yulia holding Ji Xiang and quickly extended his hand to Ji Qing:
"Ji Qing, let Zeng Dad hold you."
Ji Qing hesitated for a moment before reaching out to Zeng Jingchu.
Tian Jing called Li Wanting aside, "Pay close attention to Ji Qing. Ji Xiang is Zeng Jingchu and Yulia's child. If they show favoritism, you take Ji Qing with you."
Li Wanting: "..."
All the confusing questions were explained by Ji Xiang's identity.
She nodded vigorously, "I will."
...
Tian Jing called Zeng Jingrong away because she was going to the maze to dig for ginseng.
Looking at the sky above the maze, Tian Jing thought of the rule of destruction she had left in the apocalypse. This world had no rule of destruction, so it should be fine.
After digging up the prematurely grown ginseng and planting new seeds, Tian Jing told Zeng Jingrong that if Matvey wanted another meeting, it should be after the Qingming Festival.
Zeng Jingrong nodded. His team members had ambushed Yulia more than once, and Yulia, when running, was not as fast as an ordinary woman.
This showed that Tian Jing's concoctions were very effective.
However: "Tiantian, do we really have to keep Tong Xinhua locked up forever?"
"Continue to keep him locked up."
Tian Jing frowned, "Yulia said Matvey has ambitions to become the president of the ability users' association. After thinking about it carefully, Matvey might have known Zeng Jingchu's identity when he captured him."
Zeng Jingrong pondered, "You think Matvey did it on purpose?"
"Yes," Tian Jing nodded, "Matvey is ambitious, and he needs to constantly upgrade and have a backing. "
"Zeng Jingchu's body was experimented on, and Tong Xinhua could talk about being an experimental subject for the antidote. Matvey immediately came to China based on the efficacy of the Ginseng Foundation Pill."
"It seems unrelated, but if Matvey's backer is the American Ability Users Association, it would explain everything."
"Tong Xinhua was five years ago, and Zeng Jingchu was a little over a year ago, but he was also with Yulia five years ago."
"And the nursery established to sell seeds externally was also five years ago, to be precise, all in the year 2000."
"Of course, these are just my personal analyses."
Zeng Jingrong shook his head, "Not a single clue should be missed. I will investigate the whereabouts of the seeds sold by the nursery and the destination of the fruits and vegetables grown."
"That's good," Tian Jing agreed, "If the destinations are unified, we might be able to find the source of the concoctions."
...
The 50 fresh ginsengs were casually packed by Tian Jing into foam boxes and placed on top of the wild egg boxes in the back of the seven-seater car.
Elder Shen was waiting at his eldest daughter's house. After receiving the foam boxes, he left in a hurry without even taking the wild eggs.
The Li family carried the wild eggs and dried wild game. Shen Jianfang repeatedly thanked Tian Jing.
Tian Jing jokingly said, "If your family has space to grow vegetables and raise chickens and rabbits, you can also just give seedlings like Jianrong."
Shen Jianfang became serious, "What do you think if I rent land in the suburbs of Kyoto? Household expenses are high, and I need to find a livelihood."
"I may not be good at planting and breeding, but I can hire people! Like Xiao Cai, working diligently for me, and I'll just be the boss and sell externally."
Tian Jing smiled and shook her head, "I don't have an opinion. If you want wild chickens and rabbits, I can get them for you. Vegetable seeds are also available, but they're not as good as before. My body has had issues, and breeding is not as good."
Shen Jianfang was stunned, then told her to take care of her health.
"If my family agrees, I'll just do animal husbandry. I think raising wild chickens is good. I can sell wild chickens, wild eggs, and also make dried wild game."
"Tourists who go to Ku Mountain buy quite a lot casually. The consumer power in Kyoto is definitely greater."
Tian Jing asked, "Have you ever thought that even if you don't raise chickens yourself, opening a chicken farm will not give you a good reputation in the circle?"
Shen Jianfang was stunned, then discouraged. In this circle, you either do nothing, or if you do something, it must be a high-end enterprise, at least a clothing store or a restaurant.
Tian Jing was not intentionally trying to discourage her. If anyone else wanted to open a chicken farm, she would have strongly supported it.
"Don't be discouraged. Ziyu has a lot of them. You can go and catch them. If that doesn't work, you can drive to Ku Mountain to buy them."
"Hmph!" Shen Jianfang snorted heavily, "From now on, if anyone asks me to find Jianrong to buy wild chickens, wild rabbits, or wild eggs, I won't help."
"Tell Jianrong to marinate the wild eggs, and make the wild rabbits and chickens into dried meat. If they go bad, don't sell them to those who look down on people."
Tian Jing shook her head and smiled, "You're wrong. Whoever asks you to buy, you buy the first time, and in very small quantities."
"If they want to buy a second time, raise the price. Buy a third time, raise it again."
"Why? Because Ziyu only raises them for their own consumption and doesn't have too much surplus."
"Not only will those people beg you, but they also won't make Ziyu and Jianrong appear to be running chicken farms."
"Right!"
Shen Jianfang became happy, "As soon as I say I don't have time to go to North Province, they turn sullen and sarcastically say I'm putting on airs."
"If I raise the price and they dislike it, then don't buy it. If you can't afford wild game, eat cabbage."
"Hehehe, just thinking about it makes me happy. I can retort, and I can earn extra money for Ziyu."
Tian Jing agreed, "Don't raise it too high, lest they report you."
"Don't worry."
Shen Jianfang patted her chest, "I know how much each of them has, and how much they can afford to spend."
