Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

What a pity.

There is only one Wan Ping'an.

"Ping An, how about I exchange my wages for pumpkins too?"

Xu Damao is also quite clever.

"Not just you, all of you can."

"Once the harvest is complete and it's time to settle accounts, you can take the money if you want, or the pumpkins if you want."

Wan Ping An promises.

Harvesting begins.

【Ding! 】

[A bumper harvest of pumpkins from system construction!]

[Reward calculation in progress...]

The farming system has been activated.

Wan Ping'an was overjoyed. Here it comes again! The reward is here again!

[Rewards calculated, prizes distributed!]

【prize:

Ten random types of seafood, one ton of each!

Ten random types of trees, each ten years old, one hundred of each type!

One special breeding technology skills card.

Crop seeds...

All rewards will be distributed to your personal space.

Wan Ping'an was overjoyed.

The reward is too generous.

"The system is amazing."

"Once the pumpkins are harvested, we must immediately plant a new crop."

When Wan Ping'an was counting the rewards in his space, he smelled a peculiar fragrance—no, two fragrances, coming from two women.

He knew who it was without even turning around.

Xu Huirong and Chen Xueru, the two women, each exuded a different fragrance.

"Wow, so many big pumpkins! I've never seen such big pumpkins before, and I've never seen such beautiful pumpkins either. They must smell delicious!"

Chen Xueru stared wide-eyed at the harvested pumpkins in disbelief.

"I haven't seen it either."

"Ping An, does that mean that no matter what kind of crop you grow, it will become a tribute-quality crop?"

"If pumpkins of this quality were put on the market, they would definitely be snapped up, just like the tomatoes you grow."

"No matter the price, we have no trouble selling them!"

Xu Huirong looked at Wan Ping'an with bright, sparkling eyes.

Alarm bells were ringing in Chen Xueru's mind!

Danger!

Too dangerous!

Xu Huirong is going to steal his man!

How to do?

Would you drink with Wan Ping'an, then pretend to be drunk, and force yourself into marriage?

Chapter 40 Another Bountiful Harvest: Chen Xueru Buys Melons

The thought of forcing the issue made Chen Xueru blush.

"Pah, shameless, what are you thinking?"

Chen Xueru dared not think any further.

Thinking about it any further would be against the rules.

soon.

The harvested pumpkins were piled up to a height of over a meter. Under the sunlight, the plump pumpkins looked like golden balls stacked into a mountain.

"Ping An, isn't this pumpkin yield too high?"

Xu Huirong sighed.

Wan Ping'an smiled slightly, "Of course the output is high."

The yield of a common pumpkin is about 3,000 catties per mu.

High-yield pumpkin varieties can yield four to five thousand catties per mu.

If the pumpkin vines are hung up and scientific fertilization management is applied, the yield per mu can reach tens of thousands of jin.

of course.

This is the data he had before he traveled through time.

In the 1950s, both seeds and planting techniques were very primitive, and the yield of pumpkins could not even reach 3,000 catties.

With the help of a planting system, the pumpkins he cultivated could yield more than 30,000 catties per mu. How could Xu Huirong not be shocked?

The yield of pumpkins grown by others is more than ten times higher.

The difference is not just a tiny bit!

"There are also watermelons here, they'll be ripe soon, they shouldn't be any worse than pumpkins, right?"

Chen Xueru pointed to the watermelon patch next to her.

"Of course it won't be bad."

"Everything I grow, whether it's tomatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, or anything else, is absolutely top-notch!"

Wan Ping'an has this confidence!

As the sun was setting, the pumpkins were piled up into a small mountain, which looked like a golden mountain from a distance, shimmering in the sunset.

"Ping An, the pumpkin harvest is bountiful. It's not safe for me to watch over it alone. Could you find two more temporary workers?"

Cai Quanwu was a little uneasy.

He can only look in one direction. What if a thief steals from another direction?

"Tiezhu, do you have time?"

Would you be willing to work as a temporary worker?

"I'll give you five yuan a month."

Wan Ping'an looked at Sun Tiezhu.

He was two years older than Sun Tiezhu and had watched Sun Tiezhu grow up, so he trusted Sun Tiezhu's character.

"I am willing!"

Sun Tiezhu answered quickly.

He hasn't been able to find a job, and you usually go out to do temporary work, mostly manual labor, and you can't guarantee a continuous output.

Watching the pumpkins for Wan Ping'an only costs five yuan a month—it's so easy!

"Okay, it's settled."

"Wait a moment, when we get back to the courtyard, tell your parents that if they agree, you can come over tonight to watch over the pumpkins."

Wan Ping'an made the decision.

“Old Cai, Grandpa Han, I’m giving you ten pumpkins each.”

"Tiezhu, Damao, I'm giving each of you three pumpkins."

Wan Ping'an looked at the pumpkin hill next to him.

The excited big black dog climbed up Pumpkin Mountain, barked twice at the top, then ran down to Wan Ping'an's side, wagging its tail to please him.

"Ping An, with so many pumpkins, there must be tens of thousands of pounds of them. You're going to be rich!"

Xu Damao's eyes shone brightly.

When Wan Ping'an was selling tomatoes, he guessed that Wan Ping'an would make a fortune.

The pumpkins we're growing now are just as good as tomatoes; this will definitely be another windfall.

"Yi Zhonghai is a level 6 fitter. His monthly salary is 76 yuan, but he can actually get around 80 yuan. His annual income is nearly 1,000 yuan."

"The money you make selling pumpkins once is probably more than what Yi Zhonghai would earn working himself to the bone for ten years."
