Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 746: Chapter 90: Comparison Drives People Mad

"Are you certain that those few acres of ginseng fields were newly planted? You’ve been going back and forth for several days now, and haven’t even seen a shadow of the other party?" Xu Lan Ya could no longer recall how many times this had been her visit to the medicinal herb garden in the Spiritual Fruit Garden to check on the growth of the ginseng.

Xu Lan Ya’s daily visits were not for her own few acres of garden ginseng, but rather the newly cultivated ginseng field next to hers, which had been emitting a rich ginseng fragrance from the beginning of its planting.

When Ye Heng first discovered those two acres of ginseng fields, it was because he had seen the neighboring land being tilled the day before, and the next day when he returned, the surface had unexpectedly sprouted purple ginseng shoots, and the person who planted them was nowhere to be seen.

"Lan Ya, don’t worry too much, it’s just a new planting. The difficult part of growing ginseng comes later, besides, our medicine field is located in the best position within the garden, whether it’s for sunlight or the regular application of Spiritual Energy fertilizer by the robots, it’s all so. We will just take care of our planting and satisfy the Xu Family’s ginseng needs," Ye Heng knew the purpose of Xu Lan Ya’s ginseng, thinking that as long as her basic needs were met, it didn’t matter how the other ginseng fields were doing.

On the third day, the ginseng sprouts had grown ten centimeters tall, and the color changed from the initial light purple to a deeper, richer purple. The fragrance of the ginseng was also more intense. Just by walking to the flower field area, the speed of growth was incredibly fast, and the most absurd thing was that the mysterious newcomer had not shown their face from beginning to end.

Xu Lan Ya and Ye Heng had no idea that Xiao Xian had not been sowing in the Spiritual Fruit Garden at all. After she had prepared the special ginseng mud balls, she used a mini sowing machine for direct sowing, then took advantage of the times when Little White Jiao went out "for a walk" to spray a few times with Silver Space Water.

About a week later, even Ye Heng couldn’t stand it anymore.

"How could this be?" In Xu Lan Ya’s few acres of ginseng field, where the ginseng was originally about to bloom, it had rapidly withered within a few days. Not to mention flowering, even the roots and stems were rotten.

"It’s impossible, I planted it exactly according to the planting methods we thought up together," Ye Heng removed a few leaves from the ginseng sprouts, the leaves were wilted, appearing to be suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

"How have you been taking care of them? These ginseng are meant for the research and development of new domestic ginseng lozenges, my grandfather has asked several times now, how are we supposed to present it to anyone in this dreadful state?" Xu Lan Ya was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end, the first two batches of ginseng that came out of the Spiritual Fruit Garden had both yield and looks that were top-notch.

Now, several well-established pharmacies within the country had already sent invitations to the Xu Family for cooperation discussions.

On the other hand, Mengshan Company was also eyeing cooperation with the Xu Family to establish a multinational health product company, with the main product being the very popular foreign ginseng lozenges in the Chinese health product market, and most entrepreneurs in the country consume such lozenges.

"Lan Ya, we’ve always planted this way in the past, and there has never been any mistakes. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the supplies center and buy some nutrient solution, it’ll be fine after a while," Ye Heng and Xu Lan Ya, although both cultivators specializing in plants, had never seriously studied plant diseases. Faced with the current state of their ginseng, their first guess was that it was either damaged by pests or improperly infused with Spiritual Energy.

"It better be that way, look, in the same land, those few acres next door are doing just fine, their ginseng was planted later than ours, but they’re expected to mature even sooner," Xu Lan Ya got irritated. If it wasn’t for the regulations at North Campus, which forbid unwarranted damage to other students’ property, Xu Lan Ya really would have pulled out all the ginseng in the neighboring field.

Xiao Xian was very clear about the growth condition of the Purple Ginseng in the Spiritual Fruit Garden from a distance.

As for her not often tending to the ginseng she planted in the Spiritual Fruit Garden, Zhang Yiyi thought she was really being irresponsible, and even complained to Xuerou about it in private.

"Xiao Xian, you’ve been too lax recently. The few tomato plants on the balcony have yellowed leaves, they look like they’ve been scalded by boiling water," Zhang Yiyi couldn’t help but scold her after making a round from upstairs.

"That’s not scalded by boiling water, that’s frost damage," Xiao Xian said, holding a handful of Dragon’s Beard Grass in her hand and gesturing around her wrists and ankles.

"Frost damage? Have you gone mad? It’s already March, even outside has already warmed up, let alone the constantly improving conditions in Sector C," Zhang Yiyi, seeing the special growth of the Dragon’s Beard Grass in her hand, grabbed a bunch of it and started making a braided bracelet.
