Chapter 2183

Zhuang Ya said, "After all... I'm too weak, the moment you touch me I... it makes me seem like I'm no good."

Zhao Chi didn't understand.

He pressed, "No good? You women compare that too?"

Zhuang Ya nodded, "Of course."

Zhao Chi still didn't get it: "Do you also compete on who can last longer?"

Zhuang Ya said, "It's not just that, but you can't be too weak either. Now they all know I collapse the moment I'm touched..."

So there was such a thing.

Zhao Chi really hadn't known before that women had this kind of competition among themselves.

Zhao Chi nodded and said, "Understood, but I have a question and I need you to be honest with me."

"Mm, go ahead."

"Even though you collapse easily, what does it feel like for you? Is it very painful? Or does it feel good? Or are you just afraid they'll laugh at you?"

"They didn't laugh at me, I just felt bad about it myself."

"So it's all in your own head... then what about the feeling?"

"The feeling..." Zhuang Ya bit her lip: "Of course it's good, do you even need to ask?"

"The truth?"

"Of course it's the truth, can't you tell?"

"I can."

"It's just... you need to let me rest a bit. Adding 6-7 Berserk Points in a short time is about right. If you add more than 10 in a row, I'll start feeling uncomfortable, a bit sore."

"Then shall we set it at 10?"

Zhuang Ya laughed, "Don't be so rigid, you make it sound like a routine matter. Don't we go by feel? No need to fix a number."

Zhao Chi nodded, "Got it. Later I'll take you to some nice places, let you completely relax."

"Nice places? Where?"

Zhao Chi smiled, "We have several territories, with huge stretches of empty land. Or for example, Zhuoya Village — we go build a little cabin there, wouldn't that be a private space just for the two of us?"

Zhuang Ya smiled radiantly, "Sure, I'll go tell Fang Li right now."

"Don't rush." Zhao Chi held Zhuang Ya back: "I have Quick-Build Talismans, we can just go build it ourselves later."

"Great!" Zhuang Ya happily agreed.

She happily began considering where to build the cabin.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, opened the harvest list and examined it carefully.

【New Harvest List】

"Wheat Grains" 270,000 tons

"Wheat Straw" 200,000 tons

"Experience Fruits" 18.6 million pieces

"Napa Cabbage" 70,000 tons

"Rough Sugarcane" 16,000 tons

【Date】 Day 112 - Day 148

Recently, Zhao Chi hadn't personally been following the situation in Chaoge Town.

He'd only heard Zhuang Ya's reports during the gatherings in Su Qin's room in the early hours.

It did sound truly staggering.

But now, seeing every warehouse full, Zhao Chi truly felt a happiness welling up from within.

Industrial Cthulhu was Zhao Chi's dream for the future.

But hadn't Agricultural Cthulhu already been achieved?

At least it counted as a sprout, right?

In just these few days, 270,000 tons of wheat grains had been produced.

Ten thousand, tons!

The grains hadn't been ground into flour yet — this was for easier storage, and they hadn't been threshed either.

Normally, 100 tons of wheat grains can yield 75 tons of flour and 25 tons of bran.

The bran can be fed to the Feathered Oxen.

The 200,000 tons of wheat straw can also be fed to the Feathered Oxen.

This bran plus straw together can feed 15,000 Feathered Oxen.

And this was just the harvest from these past few days.

So the Feathered Oxen's feed was no worry at all.

Let them breed as much as they want, they can be fed.

And this batch of flour was enough to feed 56,000 Taoyuan women.

So it had exploded.

The warehouses were overflowing.

Besides wheat, the harvest of Experience Fruits was also enormous.

Zhao Chi was stunned just looking at the number.

A total of 18.6 million pieces.

That was also enough for 50,000 people to consume daily.

Still, 18.6 million pieces looked like a lot, but it was actually fine.

After all, each Experience Fruit is only the size of Qi Yue's fist, so one ton of Experience Fruit is roughly 4,000 pieces.

These 18.6 million pieces would only be about 4,650 tons.

Once you convert it like this, it doesn't seem so exaggerated.

But this is still quite impressive.

Napa cabbage has 70,000 tons.

That's no small amount.

If the granary hadn't extended the freshness and shelf life of the napa cabbage by five times, a large batch would definitely have spoiled.

Zhuang Ya had previously considered planting other crops, but now it's fine — the napa cabbage in the granary can be kept fresh for half a year directly.

Of course, it's still tastier eaten fresh in the first couple of months.

Right now, plenty of cabbage is still being pickled and air-dried.

This is all the work of the chef team.

Pickled and air-dried cabbage can keep for about half a year, but it's still food, so it's also affected by the granary's effect.

So pickled and air-dried cabbage stored in the granary can theoretically be kept for three and a half years.

So fresh cabbage is eaten directly, and cabbage that's been sitting for a few months gets pickled and air-dried — each has its own use.

Finally, sugarcane.

This is the first sugarcane harvest.

Only 500 farm plots of sugarcane have ripened, but the harvest is an astonishing 16,000 tons.

It sounds like there's quite a gap compared to wheat's 200,000-plus tons, but that wheat was the yield of tens of thousands of farm plots.

If wheat were also calculated at just 500 plots, it would only be 3,400 tons.

The word "only" seems a bit exaggerated — after all, compared to other wheat, the yield is outrageously high. But compared to sugarcane's 16,000 tons, there really is quite a gap.
