Chapter 1901

Now the cabbages occupied a small portion of the storehouse, while flour and wheat grain took up the larger remaining portion.

The rest could only be temporarily placed on the open ground and on the wooden carts.

Moreover, Zhuang Ya knew Zhao Chi was going to sell this batch of wheat to the Zhao family in large quantities, so she had all the wooden carts fully loaded, ready to be transported over directly afterward.

Zhao Chi sighed: "So much indeed. How much wheat ripened this time in total?"

Zhuang Ya crossed her arms and said: "Penglai Town's 250 wheat fields yielded 1,625 tons. Chaoge Town's 5,700 wheat fields yielded 40,750 tons. A total of 5,950 wheat fields produced 42,375 tons. These are all the weights of the grain; if ground into flour, it should yield around 31,800 tons of pure flour."

Zhao Chi nodded: "When did they ripen? Looks like it wasn't long ago?"

"They started ripening in batches yesterday afternoon, and everyone has been busy until now. The latest batch should ripen by this evening, and by then this whole large batch will be fully harvested."

"Good. Help me set aside 13,500 tons of wheat grain — I'll sell it to the Zhao family. Then set aside another 10,000 tons of wheat grain — Li Ruanyu will help us sell it. Grind the remaining 18,875 tons of wheat grain into flour, and we'll keep it for ourselves to eat."

"Mm, understood. The carts over there are loaded with wheat grain, you can transport them away and sell them directly."

"Good. How's the new farmland reclamation going?"

Zhuang Ya pointed into the distance.

"It's basically all been reclaimed now, only the outermost parts are left, which should be fully finished by tomorrow."

"What about the quantity?"

"Just as you planned — 45,000 fields are being reclaimed, and the remaining space will all be used to build warehouses. But right now Fang Li's construction team is all busy building the farmland zoning and the irrigation channels, so there's no time to build the storehouses."

"Mm, that's fine. Once those giant beastmen and ogres finish reclaiming the farmland, we can have them help Fang Li and the others with construction."

Zhuang Ya looked at the giant beastmen and ogres with their massive bodies in the distance, then nodded: "Mm, I've already spoken with Yining, and she said there's no problem at all. Those big fellows really are very useful, very efficient."

"You've worked hard, Zhuang Ya. With you here, I can rest easy."

Zhuang Ya chuckled lightly: "Of course, I'm plenty capable too. By the way, the experience fruits in Penglai Town have also ripened. This time we harvested 130,000 of them, all stored in the storehouse. You can use them as well."

"Good."

Zhao Chi looked around, then pointed at the experience fruit fields in the distance and asked: "Are the experience fruits in our Chaoge Town almost ready for harvest too?"

Zhuang Ya smiled: "Yes, but you'll have to wait one more day. They're expected to start ripening in batches from tomorrow afternoon, lasting until the day after."

"Not bad. Such a large patch of experience fruits — the harvest this time should be substantial too."

Zhuang Ya's delicate lips parted slightly: "Mm, this time it's close to 700 experience fruit fields, far more than Penglai's 25 fields. The expected harvest is 4.6 million."

"4.6 million…"

Hearing that number, Zhao Chi had a bit of trouble grasping the scale.

This really was the first time there were this many.

The previous maximum was 1.24 million; this time it's roughly a fourfold increase.

4.6 million…

Although the women of Taoyuan ate a lot — their food intake was ten times that of ordinary people — the effect of experience fruits was normal.

Eating one per day was enough.

So, theoretically, accounting for the daily population increase, it was enough to cover Zhao Chi's territory's consumption for most of the next half year.

Including the elves on Su Qin's side.
