Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 185 A Bountiful Harvest in Space, Jia Dongxu Gets Flipped Again

In the living area of ​​the space, Wang Feng sensed the plants and animals of the space with his mind. He was excited to see that the ginseng planted yesterday had already sprouted.

This acre of ginseng was irrigated with a pound of diluted second-generation life-giving water, and he never expected it to sprout in just one day.

As for the remaining 59 mu of ginseng, they haven't sprouted yet, but he can feel that every single ginseng seed is full of vitality, and he estimates that it won't be long before they sprout.

The rice and wheat in the space were all ripe, and even the sweet potatoes were all ripe.

All the vegetables are ripe, but only the strawberries and watermelons are ripe. The apples, pears, and peaches will take some time to ripen.

After harvesting the rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes, Wang Feng stopped planting sweet potatoes because the rice and wheat seeds were enough to fill the entire space.

Last time, Wang Feng planted a full 100 mu of rice and 70 mu of wheat. He evaporated the moisture from the rice and wheat. This time, he planted a full 400 mu of wheat and cultivated 450 mu of rice seedlings.

Of the remaining 150 mu, 50 mu are fish ponds, 60 mu are ginseng, 30 mu are used for aquaculture, and the remaining 10 mu are used to grow some fruits and vegetables, as well as warehouses and living quarters.

The biggest harvest this time was sweet potatoes, covering 900 acres and yielding a total of over 7 million catties.

As for the rice and wheat harvested this time, there wasn't much left after sowing. After processing, there were only a little over 3,000 catties of rice and a little over 1,000 catties of flour.

The warehouse currently holds a total of 8.4 million jin of sweet potatoes and more than 23 million jin of sweet potato vines. However, these are now being put to good use. The space currently houses more than 300 wild boars, as well as more than a dozen domestic pigs and other livestock, and their daily consumption is considerable.

After taking care of all the plants and animals in the space, Wang Feng left.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

When Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhangshi walk out of courtyard number 95, she looked towards the central courtyard and saw that all the doors of the residents in the central courtyard were closed. She asked Bang Geng to keep an eye on Xiaodang, then went out of her room and went to Sha Zhu's house, knocking on Sha Zhu's door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Who is it?" Sha Zhu shouted from inside the house.

"Silly Zhu, it's your Sister Qin. Open the door, I have something to say to you."

Upon hearing that it was Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu coldly replied from inside the house, "Qin Huairu, I have nothing to say to you. Go away and don't come looking for me again."

"Silly Zhu, open the door, Sister Qin really needs to see you."

Opening the door, Sha Zhu braced himself against it, staring blankly at Qin Huairu, and asked:

"Let's talk outside."

Qin Huairu smoothed her hair, her peach blossom eyes blinking at Sha Zhu, and asked with feigned concern:

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you lately? Where did you hurt yourself? Why haven't you been to work at the factory for so long?"

"Where are you hurt? Hehe."

Sha Zhu, as if he hadn't seen Qin Huairu's actions, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Qin Huairu, I have no money right now, and there's no meat at home. What are you doing here? Do you want to pay me back?"

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said with a wronged expression, "Shazhu, you know my family's situation. How can I, Sister Qin, have the money to pay you back? I just saw that you haven't been to the factory for so long and wanted to come and check on you."

Sha Zhu sneered, "Qin Huairu, I don't need your concern. If you really care about me, pay me back the money you borrowed from me before. I have nothing else to say to you."

With that, Sha Zhu slammed the door shut, leaving Qin Huairu bewildered in the wind.

Seeing that Sha Zhu had suddenly become so cold and indifferent, Qin Huairu stared blankly at the door of Sha Zhu's house, she really couldn't understand it.

Why is Yi Zhonghai ignoring her for no reason? Sha Zhu is doing the same thing. What has happened recently?

Qin Huairu walked back to the Jia family dejectedly. She refused to believe that Sha Zhu, who had been so infatuated with her before, would suddenly become cold and heartless.

It's probably because Shazhu was injured recently and is in a bad mood. We can only wait until Shazhu is in a better mood before we try to comfort him.

......

noon.

Steel rolling mill.

As soon as Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai finished work at noon, they prepared to go to the third canteen for lunch.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Dongxu, are we going to eat at the third canteen again? What if Qin Jingru cooks for us again? I think we should walk a little further and eat at the second canteen."

Jia Dongxu smiled confidently: "Master, Huairu told Qin Jingru yesterday that Jingru will no longer be flipping the wok for me, so you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Okay, then let's hurry up and line up."

"Um."

The two arrived at Qin Jingru's serving window and waited in line for five minutes before it was finally their turn. Jia Dongxu smiled at Qin Jingru and said:

"Jingru, I want two cornbread buns and a serving of cabbage."

Qin Jingru didn't even glance at Jia Dongxu. She took the money and dipped her ladle into the dish, which came out full of cabbage.

Upon seeing this, Jia Dongxu was overjoyed and thought to himself, "Huai Ru is still the most reliable. After all, they are cousins. I must reward Huai Ru well when we get back tonight."

Just as Jia Dongxu was feeling happy, Qin Jingru's hand trembled, and what was originally a large spoonful of cabbage turned into a large spoonful of soup in the blink of an eye, with not even a cabbage leaf left.

Jia Dongxu's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Qin Jingru and asked in a deep voice:

"Jingru, what's wrong with you? Didn't Huairu tell you yesterday not to flip the wok for me, and you agreed? Why are you still flipping the wok for me?"

Qin Jingru looked at Jia Dongxu with surprise, and said with some confusion:

"Jia Dongxu, when did I agree to Qin Huairu? Also, I didn't toss the wok. That's how you serve food; there will be more or less. If you're not happy, you can go talk to the manager."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face darkened horribly, and he said coldly, "Then give me back my money and tickets. I won't eat at the third canteen anymore."

Qin Jingru scoffed, "Jia Dongxu, do you really think the cafeteria is your private property? You can't just eat whenever you want and not eat whenever you don't want to. The food has already been served to you, and you can't return it."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru picked out two of the smallest cornbreads for Jia Dongxu. These two cornbreads were only the usual size, and that was enough to satisfy him.

Jia Dongxu clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. He took the lunchbox, stood still, and stared intently at Qin Jingru.

"Hey Jia Dongxu, are you going to eat or not? You've finished getting your food, why aren't you leaving?" a coworker behind him urged.

Seeing this, Liu Lan stopped serving herself. She walked up to Qin Jingru, pointed at Jia Dongxu with her ladle, and shouted sternly:

"Jia Dongxu, get out of here right now, don't delay everyone's meal. If you dare to cause trouble, I'll call the security department."

Hearing that the security department would be called, Jia Dongxu stormed off in a huff.

When it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to get the food, he knew that Qin Jingru would definitely stir-fry it for him, so he didn't want to waste any more words and directly handed over the money.

"I only need four steamed buns."
