Chapter 1001

Now Fang Li's construction group has a total of 60 people, second only to Ding Dang's blacksmith group of 70.

Penglai Village's construction is nearly complete, so Fang Li can spare hands to help reclaim farmland.

At this pace, in another ten days or so, the number of farmland plots will reach 220.

Moreover, every week 5 Experience Fruit plots and 50 wheat plots will mature.

This way, the harvest of Experience Fruit and wheat has become stable.

But it still needs some time.

Although the farmland in Taoyuan Village hasn't been fully harvested yet, Zhao Chi can estimate this batch's yield.

Experience Fruit will yield about 10,400 in total.

Wheat will yield 130 tons; if all ground into flour, roughly 97.5 tons.

The remaining 32.5 tons of bran can be made into feed for the Feathered Oxen, no waste either.

Experience Fruit is a functional fruit and can be stored for a long time.

The only difference is between fresh and shriveled.

Like corn and dried corn, fresh dates and dried dates.

The functional effect remains unchanged.

Wheat, on the other hand, is a staple grain.

Originally Zhao Chi thought it wasn't a small amount, but calculating carefully, it's not much.

Because the women in the territory eat six times what ordinary women do—after all, working 20 hours, their appetites are naturally huge.

Add to that the extra 300% appetite from over-limit load, so they're all big eaters.

Roughly calculated, 6 kilograms of food are consumed per day.

Zhao Chi had originally wanted to share some grain with Su Qin, since Su Qin has 2,500 people over there.

But the food consumption of Zhao Chi's 572 women is equivalent to 3,500 people, even more than Su Qin's side…

Then forget it…

Next harvest, he'll share some grain with Su Qin appropriately.

But he can share some Experience Fruit with her.

Let's give her 100 for now.

While he was considering, Su Qin suddenly sent a voice message.

Su Qin: 【Zhao Chi, it's already 10:30, why haven't you come over yet? I'm not rushing you, just asking, is everything alright on your end?】

10:30 already?

Zhao Chi checked the system, and indeed it was.

Zhao Chi: 【Sorry, something held me up, I'm coming right away】

Su Qin: 【Mm, it's fine】

At 10:40, Zhao Chi still led 150 female soldiers to Su Qin's territory.

When Su Qin came to Zhao Chi's side today, she held herself back and didn't throw herself into his arms like yesterday.

Zhao Chi could read the affection in her eyes.

He simply pulled her over and hugged her.

Su Qin let out a soft cry, then bit her lip and laughed softly in his arms.

Gu Qing beside them naturally saw it all clearly too.

She said softly, "Su Qin, you don't need to hold back your feelings. We won't mind. Seeing you treat him sincerely makes us happy too."

Tang Ruan and the others nodded one after another.

Su Qin shyly thanked her.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Don't thank us. These are gifts our lord sent you. Send someone to put them away quickly."

"More gifts? I already have enough things here. Zhao Chi, stop always bringing me stuff."

Zhao Chi said, "These are things you need. Send someone to put them in the warehouse first."

"Alright, this is… Clean Lamp Oil? Huh? There's something like this too?"

Su Qin kept checking the system information in surprise, then looked at the Clean Lamp Oil in the wooden barrel.

From appearance alone, it's hard to tell them apart.

Checking the system is the most convenient and intuitive way.

"Brightness +200%, that's 3 times the brightness of ordinary lamp oil, and cleanliness… actually increases by 150%!?"

Zhao Chi nodded.

Su Qin said again, "Then using this lamp oil to make oil lamps, there won't be any lamp soot in the workshop and bedroom, right?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Exactly. It was made for this purpose in the first place. Surely not to protect the environment, right?"

Su Qin shook her head and sighed softly, "How does your side have so many good things? It's a secret, right?"

"Yes, help me keep it secret."

"Don't worry! I won't leak a single word."

"And these Experience Fruit are for you too."

"You have Experience Fruit too!? A hundred of them? You're giving me all of them?"

"Yes."

"No, wait a moment!"

Su Qin covered her head, tilting it as she stared at Zhao Chi.

Su Qin wasn't stupid.

Since Zhao Chi gave her these supplies, Zhao Chi's side must have even more.

She suddenly felt a bit of pressure.

Although she was trying her best to avoid learning Zhao Chi's secrets, a lot of information couldn't be blocked.

Those 100 experience fruits were plump and round, still emitting a fresh, sweet fragrance.

How could they be this fresh?

It's like they were just picked.

Could these be something he grew?

But how could that be possible?

One plot of land can only produce 200 experience fruits a year, and experience fruits have very high requirements for soil quality.

Zhao Chi had only just become a lord for a little over 40 days, this was simply impossible.

No, why am I even thinking about this?

Who cares where he got them.

I don't need to know at all.

Since he gave them to me, I'll just accept them.

Next time I'll serve him twice as well.

Thinking of this, Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said sweetly: "Thank you~ Then I won't be polite!"

Zhao Chi laughed: "What, figured it out? Hurry and take them. Let's start fighting today's magical beasts."

Su Qin nodded: "Okay."

Soon, the Mist Wall in the south opened and closed again.

Today's 400 magical beasts had already entered.

Zhao Chi pointed south: "Still following yesterday's formation and plan. Su Qin, just bring the elves, the rest of the soldiers guard the house. Move out!"

"Yes!"

The ones setting out were still yesterday's 658 people.

Everyone's momentum was like a rainbow, rapidly advancing south.

Passing through the bamboo forest.

Passing through the open ground.

Entering the woods.

Su Qin cast Eagle Eye.

Everyone advanced while observing.
