Chapter 27: planting

Aunt Wang was the person whom George had the best impression of in the village. George sold the golden-haired rat king's meat to her, and she naturally would not treat George badly. She gave him thirty gold coins, which was lesser than what George earned from selling the claws and teeth. However, he was already very satisfied that he could sell it for thirty gold coins. The trip to the mine not only allowed George to learn the mining skills, but he also obtained one hundred and ten gold coins, which was a great harvest. "Boss, are you here? Boss?!" With money in his pocket, George confidently visited the shady shop again, which was the grocery store in the village. If possible, George would not want to deal with Mr. Liu, the unethical businessman, but what could he do? The latter was the only one in the village selling seeds. Even if he didn't want to, George could only go to him. "Yes, yes." Mr. Liu soon appeared in George's field of vision. When he saw George, the smile on his face widened. "It's you! Do you want to sell something again? Don't worry, as long as the stuff is good, I won't give you a bad offer." George really wanted to spit on his face. How could he still have the nerve to say this after cheating him of so many gold coins? He was really thick-skinned. However, George couldn't ruin the relationship between him and Mr. Liu yet as he had some things to but. Hence, he squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm not here to sell anything, I'm here to buy things!" "You want to get something? No problem!" Mr. Liu's enthusiasm didn't diminish. Whether it was to sell something or to buy something, George was his customer, so there was no reason to turn him away. "Just tell me what you want, I have everything here." Mr. Liu said confidently. Mr. Liu was not bragging when he said so. The things he had here were indeed quite comprehensive. Many of them made George drool after looking at them. "I don't want to buy anything else, just some seeds." George didn't walk around and made his request directly. There were too many good things here, and he wanted them all, but he didn't have much money in his pocket. Besides, the boss was unethical too. What's the point of making himself uncomfortable when he couldn't buy what he saw? "Seeds?" Mr. Liu was slightly startled, "No problem, I have all types of seeds." "I want the seeds for corn, mushrooms, leek, paddy, apples..."George stated his requirements one by one, "In addition, I also want chickens, ducks, and fishes..." Before coming, George had already thought about what he wanted to buy. Originally, George only planned to buy some vegetable and fruit seeds that could be used for barbecue. His initial idea was just to save his own barbecue costs. However, now George had changed his mind, mainly because the open space in the back hills was too big, and how many vegetables can he use for his barbecue stall? Even if business was booming every day, he won't be using much, so there was no need to use the entire piece of land to grow the vegetables needed for his barbecue stall. Therefore, George was also going to plant some paddy, wheat, oranges and such. In addition, he also planned to rear some animals. This was because they could be used for the barbecue and also for self-consumption. After all, the ingredients in this time and space were organic and pollution-free, and the taste was far better than those in reality. George had been obsessed with it ever since he tasted it, so he simply bought them as well this time, and even bought more than was necessary. In fact, in this time and space, there were also some vegetables, fruits and even edible animals that were not available in reality. However, George did not buy them, because if those things were taken into real life, he wouldn't be able to explain the origin of those things. He would even get into trouble when the time comes. He was still very weak, so if trouble knocked on his door, he would not be able to solve it at all. Therefore, George purchased the things that already existed in reality, which reduced the possibility of him being suspected. As soon as Mr. Liu heard George's order, he knew it was a big deal. He quickly wrote down his requirements one by one, and the smile on his face became even brighter. "I'll just get this much for now. I will come back for more next time." George only had one hundred and ten gold coins in his pocket. This sum of money allowed him to buy a lot of seeds, but compared to the huge area in the back hills, it was far from enough. Obviously, he had to make a second or even third purchase. "Okay, okay, no problem!" Mr. Liu became even happier when he heard that George wanted to purchase more. He also generously gave George some of animal cubs. These animals did not exist in reality, so George didn't buy them due to his previous worries. However, now that Mr. Liu was giving them to him for free, he naturally had no reason to refuse. Worst come to worst, he can just eat it by himself. Mr. Liu was very quick. It didn't take long for him to prepare everything George needed, and according to George's request, everything was delivered to the back hills. "How should I plant them?" After Mr. Liu left, George was a little worried about how to deal with things. Was it really necessary to plant them one seed at a time like ordinary people? How long will it take to plant them? However, apart from this method, there seemed to be no better way. He previously thought that he could receive preferential treatment as a "player", but now he was clueless. In desperation, George could only accept that fact and was planning to learn about farming from the village chief. Although it would take a lot of time, it was still better than standing around doing nothing. "Farming is actually an art, and the same goes for raising poultry." After the old village chief understood George's purpose, he leaned back on the wicker chair and explained casually, "Farming skills are divided into different levels. Under the same conditions, some people can get a bumper harvest from planting land, while others may get a lesser yield. This is where knowledge plays a role..." "Congratulations, you have been taught by the master-level farmer, Kai Zhao. You have learned farming and breeding skills, and they have been upgraded to advanced levels!" Another Grandmaster! George did not expect the old village chief to be a master-level farmer. Although he had previously guessed that the villagers were all grandmasters, and that the old village chief might be the same, he did not expect him to actually be a master-level farmer. All of a sudden, his farming and breeding skills were upgraded to a high level. After listening to the old village chief's lengthy explanation, George immediately rushed to the back hills and came to the open space. He chanted the farming skill in his mind. Later, George discovered that the seeds in front of him were automatically planted in the field, in neat rows and evenly spaced. "Sure enough, 'players' still get preferential treatment." George was very satisfied after seeing this. It didn't take long for all the seeds to be planted. According to the old village chief, the higher the level of farming skills, the higher the yield of crops. At the same time, the growth rate would be faster, and the food grown would taste better. George began to have great expectations for the crops in his field.
