Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 683 - 682: Astonishing Achievements
Chapter 683: Chapter 682: Astonishing Achievements
Last night, Zhang Xiaoshan had only planted crops in the corner of the courtyard’s small vegetable garden, but now, the entire courtyard was overrun with plants, with the old brick courtyard being pushed apart by the vegetation.
The whole courtyard had become a vegetable plot.
All the seedlings had grown as tall as the roof of their house, at least three meters high, with green and red peppers hanging in abundance. The tomatoes were even larger, resembling lanterns as they hung from the branches. The ground was covered with watermelon vines, and big, round watermelons were everywhere. The cracks in the ground, pried open and as thick as an arm, revealed the true form of the potatoes—goodness, the potatoes were as big as pumpkins! And there was the leftover scrawny cabbage that Sister-In-Law Yu Xiuxiu had picked before, which had now grown the height of a person and were as green and lush as if sculpted from jade.
In the midst of late autumn, with dense fog all around, a ray of sunlight pierced through, making it seem like an Immortal Realm.
The air was filled with a simple and elegant fragrance, the natural scent of these fruits and vegetables.
"Little Shan, what did you do last night, last night?"
Yu Xiuxiu asked Zhang Xiaoshan, stuttering.
She was truly startled by the scene before her.
Overnight, so many fruits and vegetables had appeared in the courtyard, and each one seemed unusually extraordinary.
Have you ever seen tomatoes bigger than your head?
And the cabbage that looked as if carved from colored jade, have you seen that?
Everything here looked like the crafts of an artisan.
Yu Xiuxiu’s worldview had been completely refreshed.
Zhang Xiaoshan himself was also bewildered.
"Recently, I came across a secret formula in a tree, so I tried it out, not expecting, this effect, it’s too, too frightening?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was ecstatic inside, and was also pondering.
The seeds were leftovers from the Immortal Medical Sect, surely improved upon by generations of predecessors, definitely different from the hybrid cultivars and even GMO fruits and vegetables that are now imported from abroad. Zhang Xiaoshan had been prepared for this.
But he hadn’t at all anticipated the yield, size, and growth rate.
He assumed, nine times out of ten, it was caused by the dilution of the Spiritual Liquid.
That Spiritual Liquid was the essence of heaven and earth, capable of transforming human bodies, let alone crops.
"If I could modify the Formation on the back mountain, channeling that Immortal-birthed Green Lotus’s Spiritual Energy into our White Dragon Village, wouldn’t that mean our White Dragon Village would become a genuine land of fortune? Then there would be no need for me to irrigate with Spiritual Liquid, and the plants could still undergo a transformation?"
"Adding up all the land in the village, there are tens of thousands of acres. If all of it is used to plant these fruits and vegetables, wouldn’t that mean we’d be making a fortune every day?"
"Most importantly, with the enhancement of Spiritual Energy, we can ignore even the seasonal climatic changes. The maturation period would be faster, who knows how many times better than the city’s greenhouses. Harvesting off-season would be easy, making it hard not to make money."
"By then, White Dragon Village would be a natural mega farm."
Zhang Xiaoshan became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
"Sister-In-Law, let’s try how these things taste."
Zhang Xiaoshan plucked a cucumber thicker than an arm and broke it in half to give his sister-in-law a piece.
She bit into it. Crunchy, with a flavor that was light and sweet, refreshing to the core.
"Crunch, crunch."
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly finished eating the cucumber.
He had felt somewhat weary, but now he felt completely energized.
The cucumber had medicinal value thanks to absorbing the Spiritual Liquid.
Yu Xiuxiu also ate contentedly.
She picked a smaller tomato on a whim.
The tomatoes were crystal clear, and if not for the feel of them when squeezed, one might think they were crafts. Biting into one, red juice gushed out, lusciously full.
"It’s been so long since I’ve tasted such delicious tomatoes," Yu Xiuxiu said, enraptured. "The tomatoes nowadays don’t have the taste of the ones from our childhood at all. This taste is amazing, sour and sweet, I even feel it’s a bit crunchy."
"Little Shan, you are really amazing."
Yu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but praise Zhang Xiaoshan.
It was at this moment that someone knocked on the door.
Luo Meili had arrived.
"Ah, what, what’s going on here?"
Luo Meili was also shocked by the scene in front of her.
"This, what is this?"
Zhang Xiaoshan handed Luo Meili a tomato.
"Try it."
Luo Meili took a bite, her reaction was even more exaggerated than Yu Xiuxiu’s.
"My God, this is so delicious."
A tomato as big as a child’s head was devoured by Luo Meili in no time.
"Little Shan, did you grow this? That’s incredible, isn’t it?"
Luo Meili excitedly grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm.
Yu Xiuxiu immediately cast a disapproving glance from the side.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt guilty and quickly, yet gently, pushed Luo Meili’s arm away while speaking.
"Meili, you’ve come at just the right time. Why don’t you take these things and sell them? Let’s test how well they are received in the market?"
Luo Meili said.
"That’s perfect, our White Dragon Agricultural Company has also started developing the fresh fruit and vegetable business recently. I’ve rented two storefronts in the county. It’s a great opportunity to use these products to make a name for ourselves. I believe they will be bestsellers."
After some casual conversation, Luo Meili went to find workers to move the goods.
Meanwhile, the event caused quite a stir in the village, and the villagers also came to see what was happening.
"Little Shan, I’ve been farming for thirty years and have never seen such large potatoes. How did you do it?" An uncle curiously asked as he struggled to lift a huge potato.
Someone reminded from the side.
"You should call him Village Chief Zhang, he’s the village chief now."
"Oh right, Village Chief, sir."
"Village Chief, Village Chief, can you tell us how you grew them?"
"Everyone, there’s no need to call me Village Chief, just call me Little Shan, it’s friendlier. These are some magical seeds and nutrient solution developed by my teacher when I was studying in the city."
"Nutrient solution, new seeds? Can you, can you help us too?"
The villagers were very hopeful.
Zhang Xiaoshan did not hesitate and immediately said.
"Of course, I can. Once Luo Meili tests these products on the market and if they sell well, I promise to share with the whole village. You can either work for me or join in and grow them yourselves, then White Dragon Agricultural Company will purchase them all."
"That’s great, long live the Village Chief!"
A group of villagers cheered around Zhang Xiaoshan.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiuxiu, watching this scene, felt content yet there was also a hint of sourness and worry in her heart.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s reputation and prestige in the village were growing by the day. If people found out about her and Little Shan, could it bring shame to him?
The thought of leaving surfaced once again.
