Chapter 1936

The human body's intake and output both follow patterns.

Roughly speaking, a normal person urinates twice as much as they defecate each day.

So the raw material ratio for golden-juice fertilizer and golden-clod fertilizer should be 2 to 1, and that's how it's always been produced before.

Ever since the Silk Clan arrived, the ratio changed in an instant.

The daily output ratio of raw materials has already become 6 to 1, the gap widening instantly.

But this is a good thing.

Moreover, although the urine volume has grown larger, no time is wasted in the latrine.

Because they all wear self-cleaning underwear, their bodies feel nothing at all, unless they choose to relieve themselves.

But this isn't a long march right now, and there's no need to hold it in for 15 days before releasing; they basically relieve themselves once a day on a fixed schedule now.

This also makes collection very convenient.

Zhao Chi followed Gan Jing into the large courtyard of the fertilizer workshop and felt a fresh fragrance rushing toward him.

Damn it…

Zhao Chi felt like a pervert.

But that really was the smell.

No matter what, it's definitely better than stench; he won't have to hold his breath while working.

"Go get Qiyue for me, she should be in the Illusion Armory."

"Yes!"

Gan Jing immediately left.

There were still 168 Rapid-Growth Talismans in the system space; Zhao Chi quickly tapped to use 140 of them.

Light burst like fireworks, swiftly drilling into the surrounding fertilizer pits.

The pits immediately began to churn.

Large numbers of bubbles rose up from within.

All the raw materials quickly finished decomposing, fermentation complete.

Next comes the actual fertilizer-making, which will be fast.

The main time spent making fertilizer is on decomposition and fermentation; once that step is done, the rest only requires stirring in stages with rare materials.

This part is also critical.

How much rare material to add, when to add it, the speed of stirring, the stirring technique, and so on and so forth—all are particular.

But purely in terms of time, it doesn't take long.

Two sets of footsteps approached.

Gan Jing arrived with Qiyue.

"My lord, you wanted me?"

"Yes, make some fertilizer."

"Understood, please come in." Qiyue manifested six arms.

Gan Jing fetched six long stirring poles from the side and handed them to Qiyue, then brought over the corresponding rare materials.

Just one Rapid-Work Talisman passed.

All 140 massive ten-ton fertilizer pits were fully stirred.

1,200 tons of golden-juice fertilizer and 200 tons of golden-clod fertilizer were completed.

Making fertilizer—that's how fast it is.

Gan Jing said, "Lord Zhao Chi, your stirring technique has truly benefited me greatly. Next, should we notify Captain Gu Yan and the others to transport it to Chaoge Town for spreading?"

Zhao Chi tapped Qiyue's head: "Yes, please help me notify them."

"Okay, no trouble at all."

Gan Jing ran off again.

With this, another 1,000-plus farmlands' yields are about to increase.

The quantity is really not small.

But facing a total of 45,000 farmlands, it's still far from enough.

Those women must keep working hard—eat more, excrete more.

Rapid-Growth Talismans are running low now too; more need to be replenished.

This kind of thing, just let Su Qin handle it.

Detached from Qiyue.

Found Zhuang Ya and began improving the Mystic Maiden Armor.

Three hours later, Gu Qing and Su Qin returned.

They had really bought a huge amount of supplies and New Year goods.

Their two system spaces were stuffed full, and their backpacks were stuffed full too.

Behind them followed quite a few large delivery carts.

Of course, those delivery workers were only allowed to reach the designated spot in Taoyuan Village; they unloaded and immediately left.

The supplies were extremely plentiful.

All kinds of food, meat, sausages, pastries, window decorations, Spring Festival couplets…

And lots of little miscellaneous things women use.

Such as hair ties, hair ornaments, combs, lip color, cleaning supplies, and so on and so forth.

There were also quite a few things Zhao Chi had overlooked or paid no attention to, all bought back by Gu Qing.

Really bought quite a lot.

But all of these things were very cheap.

There's no brand premium at all — everything is bought and sold purely according to its practical value.

Zhao Chi didn't ask how much had been spent, but Gu Qing came over to report on her own initiative.

"My lord, this is the procurement list for this trip. I've sent it to your system — you can take a look. This time we spent close to 98 gold coins in total. The two of us picked out items with high cost-performance."

Su Qin nodded. "Yes, yes, yes — don't think just because we bought a lot, we didn't spend recklessly on you."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "It's fine. Just spend however you see fit. All this stuff isn't even 100 gold coins — you don't need to tell me at all. Gu Qing, Su Qin's side will be under our management from now on too — buy her a share when you buy things."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Qing gave Su Qin a smile.

Su Qin was very happy to hear it, but she politely declined, "No need~ I'll just buy it myself."

Gu Qing said gently, "What? You're still being so formal with us?"

"It's not that… then I'll take it, hehe."

Gu Qing laughed and said, "Exactly — we're one family. You don't have to keep being so polite. When you were clinging to Zhao Chi at night, I didn't see you being this polite."

"Aiya, Sister Gu Qing~"

"Hehehe~"

The two chatted and laughed, in good spirits.

Zhao Chi said, "I have some good news to tell you."

"Good news?" Gu Qing turned her head.

Su Qin also looked over.

Zhao Chi told them about Tang Ruan becoming a noble.

Su Qin said in surprise, "Really? So Tang Ruan can go outside too?"

"Of course. But we'll have to wait for Li Ruanyu's side to finish the paperwork."

"Mm, I understand."

Gu Qing, however, nodded happily and said, "That's wonderful. So does that mean all the sisters on Tang Ruan's side can be as impressive as her? Every single one of them incredibly tough?"

"That's right, but right now there's only Tang Ruan's one gene. We'll still need gene points to slowly improve it later."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded. "Then in these coming days, please put more effort into Tang Ruan. Two full hours every early morning… Tang Ruan will definitely be very happy."

"What two hours?" Su Qin was a little confused.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "You'll probably find out soon enough, but I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it."

Zhao Chi also looked at Su Qin.

Su Qin was indeed a bit weaker in that area. If it really went at high intensity, she'd probably be wrecked every single day.
