Having previously done farm work for a few days, Jiang Ye's movements became more proficient, and he quickly finished harvesting the first plantation.
Corn: 500 units!
Rice and wheat were not counted, amounting to about 150 jin, still unhusked.
Returning to the base, he opened the chat channel and sent a private message directly to Cao County Citizen.
Jiang Ye: I've harvested a new batch of grain here, corn, rice, and wheat. Do you want any?
Cao County Citizen hadn't slept yet and replied instantly:
Yes, yes, yes! I'm collecting grain everywhere, and I have to stock up before winter!
The two parties quickly agreed on a price, and the entire batch of grain was sold for fifty thousand yuan.
This price was somewhat inflated, but Cao County Citizen agreed readily because the market was already changing. As soon as the news of winter's approach came out, all food prices skyrocketed!
Jiang Ye had to sell this batch of grain because he needed more money to buy seeds.
He directly used all fifty thousand yuan to buy magical seeds, put them in a pot, carried them out, and went straight to the plantation to sow.
He sowed four plantations in one go, and the seeds were all used up.
Jiang Ye returned and harvested the second and third plantations. The crops were also mature.
These two plantations were also magical. The second plantation was full of fruits, and the third plantation was full of vegetables.
Fruits were mostly watermelons, followed by plums, apricots, pears, and peaches.
The most abundant vegetable was celery, along with large piles of cabbage and rapeseed.
Jiang Ye wanted to sell them to Cao County Citizen too, but she had no money left to buy them.
He had no choice but to put them all into the trading warehouse and sell them at the official price, receiving 49,000 yuan.
The official prices for fruits and vegetables were quite high.
As dawn broke, Jiang Ye, yawning from exhaustion, bought seeds again and sowed them. This brought the total number of plantations with growing crops to six.
Before they could bear fruit, he went to bed.
Since arriving on this planet, Jiang Ye's sleep had been very light; any slight disturbance could wake him.
At nine in the morning, a strong wind blew outside, startling him awake.
Counting the time, he had only slept for three and a half hours.
However, he wasn't sleepy for now and got up to work!
He got out of bed and headed straight for the plantations. Three of the plantations' crops were already mature.
Wielding his warrior's blade, he harvested them quickly.
After harvesting, he sold them and then bought seeds to sow.
Jiang Ye had become a relentless farming machine, sowing, harvesting, sowing, harvesting.
When he got tired, he would stop to cut a few slices of watermelon to eat.
A day passed quickly. As the sun began to set, Jiang Ye's plantations were taking shape.
All ten plantations had crops growing, though at different stages of growth; some had just sprouted, while others were already bearing fruit.
His personal account had 29,800 yuan left.
In fact, the income was much more than that, but Jiang Ye had bought two new warehouses.
He already had one warehouse, specifically for storing grain.
In the newly built Warehouse No. 2 next to it, he stored fruits.
The newly built Warehouse No. 3 was for vegetables.
Jiang Ye was quite obsessive and insisted on keeping everything clearly separated.
He had worked in the fields all day without much rest, only sitting down to eat a melon, constantly farming. He had harvested more than twenty times.
The grain warehouse was stocked with 600 ears of corn, about 50 jin of peanuts, and 50 jin of wheat.
The fruit warehouse was filled with watermelons, a total of 262 melons. Other fruits had been sold.
One reason was that Jiang Ye preferred eating melons, and another was that watermelons were high in moisture and sugar, providing high energy in critical moments. As for the apples and pears he grew, they didn't taste sweet, just watery, so he sold them for money.
The vegetable warehouse was stocked with about 20 jin of celery, 60 pumpkins, and 20 winter melons.
Jiang Ye was certain that the agricultural products he had stockpiled were enough for him to eat through the entire winter.
However, he still decided to stockpile more.
Before the severe cold arrived, he would hoard grain madly, as much as he could!
If he couldn't eat it, he could sell it; if he couldn't sell it, he could throw it away, but the key was to have a lot!
After nightfall, he could clearly feel the temperature of the wind dropping significantly.
When he first arrived on the planet, the evening temperature was estimated to be 30 degrees Celsius, making it extremely hot. Jiang Ye sweated profusely every day.
Yesterday, it was around 25 degrees Celsius.
Today, the wind felt like only 16 degrees Celsius, the lowest setting on an air conditioner.
A drop of nearly ten degrees Celsius in one day was truly terrifying.
Jiang Ye cooked a pot of winter melon over a stove for dinner.
After eating, he felt sleepy and went back to the base to fall asleep.
He slept until nine in the evening when the night wind howled and woke him again.
Sitting up, he still felt a bit drowsy. To stay more alert, Jiang Ye opened the chat channel. This was a habit he developed as a child; his way of avoiding falling back asleep after waking up was to play on his phone for a while, which would make him less sleepy. The chat channel served a similar purpose to a water group.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a string of private messages from Cao County Citizen, sent at different times:
Restock, restock! The grilled sausages are selling like hotcakes! I need five hundred grilled sausages!
Additional order, one thousand!
Two thousand grilled sausages, plus fifty cans of magical seeds!
Big boss Jiang Ye! Reply to me immediately when you see this message! Why don't you check your messages every day? I'm dying of anxiety!
Grilled sausage order increased by one thousand, seeds by another two hundred and fifty cans!
Seeing the dense stream of order messages on the screen, Jiang Ye exclaimed.
Based on the wholesale price he gave Cao County Citizen, he earned 40 yuan per grilled sausage and a whopping 1,000 yuan per can of seeds.
According to the previously agreed-upon unequal treaty, after Cao County Citizen resold these goods at a higher price, a portion of the profit would be returned to Jiang Ye.
With so many orders, the profit was terrifying!
Jiang Ye quickly started delivering the goods. It took him over half an hour to deliver the 3,000 grilled sausages and 300 cans of seeds that Cao County Citizen had ordered.
Cao County Citizen also kept transferring money, settling the payments quickly.
The profit from the grilled sausages was 120,000 yuan, and the profit from the seeds was 300,000 yuan!
His personal assets instantly surged by 420,000!
That wasn't all; Cao County Citizen also transferred tens of thousands in profit sharing.
Finally, Jiang Ye's personal assets settled at 511,687 yuan!
Jiang Ye: Holy cow, this business is booming like crazy!
Cao County Citizen: Hahahaha, the market is indeed good today. Mainly, both grilled sausages and seeds are essential commodities, so everyone is buying them at any cost, driving the prices very high. If it weren't for this winter, we wouldn't be able to sell so much.
Jiang Ye: Actually, you could ask me to order more goods and keep them at your place, so even if I don't see the message immediately, you can continue selling.
Cao County Citizen: I've already ordered more! I asked you for 3,000 grilled sausages, but I only have orders for 2,300 at the moment. I've also reserved 30 cans of seeds. I'll contact you again when these are almost sold out.
Jiang Ye: Alright, prosperous business!
