Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Boiling Frog Continues Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Boiling Frog Continues Lu Yichen put a piece of chicken into Luo Qiao and Stone’s bowls and said, “Hmm, I guess Qingshan Village should be getting started too. Tomorrow when you go back, it’s best to ask the team leader about it so you can have a clear plan in mind.”
Luo Qiao thought for a mont and said, “Actually, I want to contract the Thorn Forest at the foot of Daqing Mountain. I’m thinking of hiring people to clear it and plant fruit trees. Although there won’t be any inco in the short term, the benefits will definitely be good once the trees bear fruit.”
Luo Qiao figured that the main advantage was that the area didn’t require long-term care; she could manage it well using her spare ti and Special Ability. As for pruning, she already knew a bit from so programs she had seen before. If worst ca to worst, she could always ask soone from the agriculture and forestry station to co and give her so pointers.
Lu Yichen laughed and said, “That’s quite a large piece of land. Contracting it would surely cost quite a bit of money. If you really want to contract it, I can help you out.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “I’ll see after I get back to the village. Oh, can you help find a few puppies?”
Lu Yichen replied, “Sure, I’ll ask around for you.”
Luo Qiao was planning to take things step by step. She wanted to set up a small farm at the foot of Daqing Mountain, but it wasn’t possible to do it all at once. After the land had been distributed, people’s lives would gradually improve, and the demand from the city would beco apparent.
She planned to turn the place into a base for vegetables, fruits, and breeding to help Qingshan Village prosper together, but people wouldn’t follow her lead if they didn’t see any results.
So, she thought of contracting the land at the foot of the mountain to lead by example. In another two or three years, when the fruit trees started to bring in inco and the state’s policies were more developed, the village would be ready for business, and people from Qingshan Village would follow in her footsteps.
After dinner was over and cleaned up, Lu Yichen left with Stone. Luo Qiao locked the front door and entered her space. She had already read one-third of the books in the Bamboo Building Study Room.
She had learned a lot from the books, and she had completed half of the embroidery of “Flowers Blooming with Wealth” that she had been working on by hand, embroidering a little each night.
After entering her space, she first practiced boxing and then yoga. After taking a bath, she would embroider or read. Her life was indeed comfortable. She had considered skipping a grade before, but later decided against it—it was better not to attract too much attention.
After all, she was still young and had no pressure with her schoolwork, so she could afford to be distracted by other things. Her goal for the next three years was to finish reading all the books in her space and to master the musical instrunts there.
Additionally, she planned to use her sumr and winter breaks to trade a few more tis and earn so start-up capital. Once she finished high school and everything was stable, she would look for projects to cooperate on and live off the dividends.
The crops in her space were ready to be harvested. Luo Qiao was busy the entire night, collecting the crops with her thoughts, then planting the next batch and taking a bath before settling down with a book in her space’s room.
The next day, after returning ho at noon, Lu Yichen surprisingly brought her a simple oven, which deeply moved Luo Qiao.
After lunch, she couldn’t wait to try it out. She had prepared the filling beforehand and just needed to make so dough for the crust. Lu Yichen helped set up the simple oven for Luo Qiao before he went to wash dishes.
Luo Qiao’s actions were quite swift. She prepared one batch and placed it in the oven. After Lu Yichen finished the dishes, he helped her watch the fire. Luo Qiao said, “It would be better if we had an electric oven. Then you wouldn’t have to sit here watching the fire in this hot weather.”
Hearing Luo Qiao say this, Lu Yichen thought to himself that he could learn about this area when he had ti. Luo Qiao didn’t know that these words of hers would be a stepping stone to Lu Yichen’s successful future.
The mooncake molds were found in her space, and since Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, Luo Qiao simply chose a plain flower pattern mold. Lu Yichen thought that was sothing Luo Qiao had soone make in advance, so he didn’t ask any further.
Forty-eight cakes were baked, and they tasted really good. The only issue was that the wood fire didn’t heat the oven evenly, resulting in uneven coloring, which wasn’t too aesthetically pleasing.
Luo Qiao thought about it and decided to take so to the village director and the accountant’s ho and also to Doctor Gao and Grandma Lin’s ho. There was also the aunt who had spoken up for Luo Qiao last ti; she took twenty in total to distribute among four households.
