Chapter 111

Qing Mengzhu saw this and said with a smile, "My dogs don't eat food from outside. We trained them to not eat it because we were afraid someone would steal them."

Tan Wenlei: "I understand. I'd like to train one too, but unfortunately, I couldn't train my previous dog."

Qing Mengzhu, "The Dharma Protector and Guard are quite intelligent and easy to teach. They understand after just a little instruction."

Qing Mengzhu spoke, she cut the radishes again, carefully scooping out the crispest and sweetest parts and giving one to each of the two dogs, letting them carry it to the side to eat.

The Dharma Protector and Guard were delighted, wagging their tails and lying down at Qing Mengzhu's feet to begin tasting it.

The red fox saw it from afar, stood up on its hind legs, and stared longingly at Qing Mengzhu.

Zhao Hexi beckoned Red Fox over.

Red Fox ignored him until Qing Mengzhu waved, at which point Red Fox trotted over.

Zhao Hexi was so angry her nose almost twisted. "I've fed you plenty too, but you only remember Mengzhu. You two are the best of friends, right?"

Red Fox looked at Zhao Hexi and whimpered.

Zhao Hexi: "Are you still whining? Don't eat what I feed you next time."

The red fox cried out again, "Waaah!"

Qing Mengzhu casually patted the red fox, then handed it the sliced radish.

The red fox, with the carrot in its mouth, quickly lowered its head and ran away, not daring to linger among the crowd.

Those around who witnessed this scene marveled at the red fox's remarkable intelligence and understanding of human nature.

Zhao Hexi also wanted to pet the fluffy red fox, so seeing this, he simply stood up and said, "I'll go see where Little Otter is and bring it some carrots."

Qing Mengzhu: "I'll go with you. The Little Otter should still be in the pond. It's been spending all its time there lately; it's practically made the pond its home."

Zhao Hexi: "The Little Otter really loves the pond! Let's go, let's go take a look."

Hmph, so what if it's furry?

He refused to believe that if he couldn't catch a red fox, he could at least catch an otter!

Chapter 111

Qing Mengzhu and his group had a lot of people, and they finished harvesting the radishes from more than four acres of land in just one day.

They loaded the radishes onto a truck and transported them to the large compost pond at Qing Mengzhu's house.

After unloading the radishes, Zhao Hexi asked with some concern, "Are you sure you don't need me to stay here and help you?"

Qing Mengzhu smiled and said, "No need. We can tidy up together now that Chunxi is back. You should go back quickly; it's freezing cold, get some rest."

Zhao Hexi: "Okay. If anything comes up, just call me. We're both in the village, so it's easy for me to come over."

When Ming Chunxi came over after work, Qing Mengzhu had already installed the shredder, just waiting to shred the radishes on the spot after they were sold.

The Dharma Protector and Guard were also present, and Qing Mengzhu had sent them to stand guard on the side.

A red fox and an otter joined in the fun, also nearby.

Ming Chunxi glanced at the lawnmower that Qing Mengzhu had installed and asked, "Where did you run the power cord from?"

Qing Mengzhu: "It's over at Second Grandfather's cowshed. Aren't you cold? Should you go back and wear more clothes before coming over?"

Ming Chunxi reached out and grasped Qing Mengzhu's hand. "It's not cold, my hands are warm."

Qing Mengzhu: "Then let's get to work, basket by basket."

Qing Mengzhu took a basket and loaded the white radishes next to the shredder, then opened the Interstellar Mall and started selling them basket by basket.

This batch of white radishes reached the "Good Grade+" quality standard, and the Interstellar Mall offered it a price of 0.6 Star Coins per pound.

A basket of radishes weighs thirty or forty pounds and can be sold for ten or twenty Star Coins.

They sell them in batches so that the Interstellar Mall can easily absorb the substances from the radishes.

The radishes that had been sucked by the Interstellar Mall were visibly withered and gray. They were directly stuffed into the grass shredder to be crushed, and then the crushed radishes were poured into the composting pond and mixed with shredded grass, grass ash, and poultry manure.

The radish treated this way is completely unrecognizable; probably no one would notice anything wrong with it.

When Qing Mengzhu was picking radishes, she would also pick out the particularly good ones.

These good radishes can be pickled to make dried radish, or they can be stored away to eat slowly.

They chatted as they worked, and didn't find it difficult to get through the day.

As night deepened, the shredder continued its clattering work, and they continued processing the radishes.

The air was filled with the sweet and spicy aroma of radishes, which smelled wonderful.

Qing Mengzhu was processing the radishes, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Although this batch of radishes was once absorbed by the Interstellar Mall, after being fermented with poultry manure, it should make a good fertilizer.

Because there were only two people and one machine, their efficiency in selling radishes was relatively low, and they didn't sell them all that night.

Fortunately, Qing Mengzhu had anticipated this and specifically chose Saturday to harvest the radishes.

They piled up the unsold radishes on the spot, planning to come back the next day to sell them again.

Radishes are very cheap, and no one will steal them if they're left here, so there's absolutely no need to worry.

Qing Mengzhu and the others spent four days processing the radishes, and it wasn't until after 11 p. m. on Tuesday that they sold all of them.

After all the radishes were sold out, Qing Mengzhu went to the back office to check the sales records and discovered that they had sold over 46,000 jin of radishes, almost 47,000 jin.

The unit price of radishes is relatively low, but the sales amount accumulated from more than 40,000 jin of radishes is astonishing.

Qing Mengzhu received over 27,000 Star Coins in one go. Combined with the Star Coins he had accumulated before, he now has over 28,300 Star Coins in his account!

It wasn't two hundred, nor two thousand, it was a full twenty thousand!

Qing Mengzhu carefully counted the account balance. "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, it really is over twenty-eight thousand! We're rich!"

Ming Chunxi said thoughtfully, "It seems that Star Coins aren't so hard to earn after all."

Qing Mengzhu: "It's still very difficult. We used a lot of fermented fertilizer when planting the radishes, and we also watered the pond quite a bit, so the cost is relatively high."

Ming Chunxi: "It costs more than ordinary radishes, but compared to other vegetables, the cost is not high."

Qing Mengzhu cheerfully, "That's true. We don't usually have many opportunities to sell so many vegetables at once without arousing suspicion. Radishes are easier to sell."

Ming Chunxi: "How about we celebrate?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Great! How do you want to celebrate?"

Ming Chunxi smiled and said, "How about we go to the city for a celebratory meal?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Sure, sure, let's watch another movie and then take a stroll around the city. Oh, I'll call He Xi and ask him to look after the Dharma Protector."

It's a good opportunity to go on a trip before the company officially takes over the rented land and before they get too busy. Once they're really busy, they probably won't have time to play anymore.

Qing Mengzhu made plans with great enthusiasm, intending to relax and have some fun.

While making her plans, Qing Mengzhu couldn't help but check her account balance in the backend again.

He's incredibly wealthy; he has nearly 30,000 Star Coins in his account.

Since acquiring the Interstellar Mall, he has never been so financially well-off.

Qing Mengzhu glanced at it again with delight, then suddenly saw a notification in her personal center.

The notification was sent by the system. The mall stated that because he had exceeded the basic membership contract of selling 10,000 Star Coins worth of goods per month, he was given a chance to win a prize. They hoped that he would continue to work hard and sell more high-value goods.

A free chance to win a prize is included with the purchase!

Qing Mengzhu immediately grasped the key point, stood up from her chair, and called out to Ming Chunxi, "Chunxi!"

Ming Chunxi, who was taking a bath, asked, "What?"

Qing Mengzhu dashed to the bathroom side. "The system says we can draw a prize! Hurry up and shower, then come draw a prize!"

Ming Chunxi: "Right away!"

Qing Mengzhu: "Wash your hands thoroughly, wash them a couple more times."

While Qing Mengzhu was speaking, Ming Chunxi casually opened the bathroom door, grabbed a bath towel, and wrapped it around her waist. "So soon?"

Qing Mengzhu's gaze was fixed on his abs. "Hurry up and draw, let's see what we can get today? This prize pool seems different from the previous ones."
