Xu Jinyan left the courtyard house early in the morning to make preparations for his trip to the ranch in the Qilian Mountains in the northwest. He walked toward the New North Bridge Market.
The Northwest Farm was a remote place, and it was a vast grassland. Many vegetables could not be grown, and they might not even be able to buy seeds.
For the quality of his life in the future, he had to make preparations early. It was better to buy it and plant it in the space.
At around seven in the morning, the market was already crowded with people. Most of them were aunties who came early to buy fresh vegetables.
"Give me two catties of shepherd's purse!"
"How much is the cabbage? Give me a catty."
"Give me a meat bun!"
It was very noisy when all kinds of voices mixed together. Xu Jinyan was used to hearing these voices since he was young. When he thought about leaving this place and never hearing these voices again, he was quite reluctant.
He sighed and prepared to buy some seeds.
On both sides of the road were vegetable stalls filled with all kinds of agricultural products grown in the fields of the rural cooperative.
The stall owner used a piece of paper or a piece of cloth as a cushion, sitting on the ground and shouting loudly at the passersby.
Xu Jinyan had saved up some money and all kinds of bills over the years. In the past, he was reluctant to use it because he was afraid that he would starve to death if he used it up. Now, it was different. He would be going to the Northwest Ranch in a few days.
The land there was vast and sparsely populated, so there was probably no place to use the money.
Therefore, he planned to only keep a little reserve money. He would spend the rest today and convert them into supplies to be stored in the space.
After all, money was just a currency used for the circulation of materials. Materials were the most important. He was very open-minded about this.
Xu Jinyan squatted in front of a small stall and flipped through the tomatoes on it.
The tomatoes were the size of a palm. They were red and looked especially festive. Under the thin skin was a sweet and sour fruit.
Tomatoes were a common vegetable in every household, and they were not too expensive.
Xu Jinyan looked at the tomatoes and could not help but think of tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg noodles, and tomato beef hotpot.
Ever since he came to this world for 18 years, he had almost forgotten about the well-known delicacies of the modern world because of his conditions.
But now that he had space, he could eat as much as he wanted. Think about it, in the endless northwest pasture, others were facing the cold wind and letting their horses go. After a hard day's work, they could only eat dry and hard cornbread when they returned home, but he was eating hot tomato beef hotpot.
Xu Jinyan licked his lips and waved his hand.
"Boss! Give me ten catties…Oh no, give me twenty catties!"
The stall owner's eyes widened in surprise." So many? Do you have tickets?"
Xu Jinyan nodded." Don't worry! Just pretend!"
Who knew if he would be able to come back from the Northwest Ranch?
The stall owner muttered as he happily packed the tomatoes.
"If you can't finish so much, don't let it rot at home. It's shameful to waste food."
However, on second thought, it might be to purchase supplies for the factory's kitchen, so he did not say anything more.
Xu Jinyan smiled but did not say anything. There was a warehouse in his farming space. No matter how long he put the food in it, it would not go bad. That was why he dared to buy so much food.
The 20 catties of tomatoes were a considerable amount. It took a large sack to pack them all.
Xu Jinyan paid the money and food stamps, threw the sack on his back, and walked toward a dark alley.
By the time he came out of the alley, he was already empty-handed. A whole sack of tomatoes had been put into his space.
After buying the tomatoes, Xu Jinyan strolled around the entire market and bought some of his favorite food to store.
After buying the food, he did not have much money left. He decided to use the rest of the money to buy seeds.
Xu Jinyan walked into a small store that was only three to four square meters. There was only a counter and a few bags of seeds inside. A middle-aged man stood behind him. The man asked when he saw him.
"What kind of seeds do you want?"
Xu Jinyan waved his hand and said," Give me a serving of both!”
The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise, turned around and went into the house by the side door, muttering as he walked.
"Whoa! A big client came!"
Not long after, the man came out from the side door with a box in his hand. He placed the box on the table and opened it. It was filled with small bags of seeds.
The shop owner said," These are all the types of seeds in our shop. Please take a look and see which ones you need.”
Xu Jinyan picked up a small bag of seeds and looked at it carefully." Wheatseed."
Then, he picked up the other seeds and looked at them carefully." Rice seeds, bean seeds, corn seeds, and sorghums seeds."
Almost all the common seeds of plants, grains, and vegetables were available here. It was not in vain for him to find this seed shop after asking around.
The shopkeeper asked eagerly," Which seed do you like? How many catties?"
Xu Jinyan said," How much is this box of seeds?”
The shop owner was surprised at first, then he raised his eyebrows and glared at her." You're not here to fool me, are you?!”
Xu Jinyan knew that his actions were unusual in the eyes of others. It did seem like he was looking for trouble. No wonder the shop owner was so angry.
He hurriedly explained that he was sincerely here to buy seeds and was not deliberately looking for trouble. Only then did the shop owner look at him suspiciously and say,
"Alright then, you can have this box of seeds for 20 yuan!”
Xu Jinyan paid twenty yuan and was about to walk out of the seed shop with the box in his arms.
The shop owner reminded him from behind," It's already past the sowing season. It's too late for you to plant now. You won't be able to grow anything!”
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," It's okay. If I want it to grow, it will."”
The shop owner looked at his back and curled his lips.
"There's no need to draft a draft to brag these days. It's a wonder that crops can be grown at this time of the year.”
Xu Jinyan heard it, but he just smiled and did not say anything. His planting space had the effect of accelerating the ripening of crops and livestock, so it was easy for the seeds to germinate and grow.
Then, he found a place with no one around and put the seeds in the planting space. He also went to the pigeon market to buy some chicks and ducklings and put them in the space.
Xu Jinyan had already begun to imagine what the future would be like in the space. Golden rice fields and wheat were growing wantonly, and all kinds of crops were thriving. Flocks of chickens and ducks ran past.
With these seeds and chickens and ducks, he would never have to worry about food and drink in the Northwest Ranch.
It was getting late by the time he was done, so Xu Jinyan headed home.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they found that everyone was in a mess. There were people anxiously entering and leaving the Deaf Old Lady's house.
Xu Jinyan pulled the third aunt who was passing by and asked in confusion.
"What's going on?"
Third Aunt slapped her thigh and said," The Deaf Old Lady is seriously ill! I can't take it anymore!"
