I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 132: Opening the Seed Cultivation Room

The truck stopped in front of a guesthouse, right next to a repair shop, but they didn’t have the spare parts, so the eldest cousin rode a bicycle to the nearby county to buy them.

They would definitely have to stay here tonight.

The truck was parked at the front door of the repair department next to the guesthouse.

The conditions of the guesthouse weren’t very good, it was dirty everywhere, and Qiao Qingyu felt she might as well sleep in the driving cab for a night.

Although the cab smelt strongly of oil, the seat cushion, the floor, and the surroundings were all wiped clean.

Moreover, the mat was woven out of reeds by Qiao Zhicai, carrying a slight natural fragrance of grass and wood.

However, the eldest cousin and Accountant Zhang certainly would not agree to let her rest there—a girl alone, it would be too dangerous.

Qiao Qingyu had no choice but to promise to stay for a while and then return to her room to sleep before she could send the two men away.

Qiao Qingyu lay alone in the driver’s seat.

How could she exchange the cabbage and radish seeds for Xiaxi Commune with those in the laboratory?

She felt her efforts were painstaking, her heart so full of concerns.

A moment later, Qiao Qingyu opened the cab again, climbed into the back of the truck, looked around and saw no one. At this time, naturally, she didn’t need to worry about cameras watching her, so Qiao Qingyu sat in a corner of the truck, pressed her right hand against a red birthmark, and carried a sack of cabbage seeds in her left hand. Ten seconds later, she stood inside the laboratory space.

Before she could react, the sound of clinking and clattering erupted in the laboratory space, startling Qiao Qingyu.

Then an electronic voice sounded—it was the same voice she had heard when she had opened the laboratory.

"Space detection: fifty kilograms of cabbage seeds, meeting breeding standards, opening the seed cultivation room..."

Then, to Qiao Qingyu’s amazement, a frosted glass wall across from her slowly rose upward, and she saw a space similar to her own breeding laboratory equipment.

Qiao Qingyu quickly ran over and stepped in without hesitation.

Standing in the space, the air was the same as in the seed space; they were two interconnected spaces, so the Space Device wasn’t as large as it seemed. Now the space had expanded; the cultivation room was rectangular with rows of lab tables equipped with microscopes, breeding boxes, seed sorting machines, and several other machines whose names she didn’t know.

At that moment, Qiao Qingyu was ecstatic—it turned out the laboratory space could indeed be recycled.

Her initial attempt with the soybeans had not been successful, probably because they didn’t meet the weight standard.

But even though Qiao Qingyu was both excited and elated at the moment, she remained calm enough. After ensuring everything was in order, she quickly left the laboratory space; after all, the space she was in wasn’t safe, and at any moment her eldest brother or Accountant Zhang could come by.

Qiao Qingyu obediently returned to the guesthouse.

Then she turned off the lights and went to bed early.

Qiao Tianbao, who had finally managed to buy the car parts from the county, was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down, and Accountant Zhang, being older, did the same after the long journey.

Qiao Qingyu’s room was next door to theirs. The houses were not soundproof, and she could hear the loud snoring from next door, but she patiently waited another two hours. At midnight, Qiao Qingyu quietly left the guesthouse.

She climbed into the back of the truck.

Logically, one of the three of them should have stayed outside to watch the truck—in case someone stole the seeds, it would be disastrous.

But the small town they were passing through wasn’t very large, and the guesthouse was across from the town government, with the security team next door.

So, it was really safe.

It also provided Qiao Qingyu with an operable opportunity.

Qiao Qingyu spent three hours to exchange all two thousand kilograms of cabbage and radish seeds.

Though there was no time for cultivation at present, Qiao Qingyu placed all two thousand kilograms of seeds in the seeding room. freeweɓnovel.cøm

She would operate when conditions allowed.

Of course, she also simply exchanged one thousand kilograms of barley grass seeds and eight hundred kilograms of potato seeds.

By the end, Qiao Qingyu’s hands and feet were no longer obeying her, but the seeds had all been exchanged.

At this point, Qiao Qingyu also took a long sigh of relief.

...

Three days later, Qiao Qingyu and her group arrived safely at Xiaxi Commune.

This was their first stop, and although the journey was bumpy, Qiao Qingyu insisted on returning to Xichuan.

As soon as the truck stopped, she couldn’t wait to jump off, stretch, and breathe in the fresh air.

Standing at the entrance of Xiaxi Commune, she glanced around and furrowed her brows—why did it feel like something was off here?

Why were there so few people?

Xiaxi Commune didn’t have a full day of work on Sundays and would rest appropriately during the idle winter, and then there was the Spring Festival holiday.

So normally there would be many people here during the daytime, but clearly, today there were very few. Qiao Qingyu thought, perhaps everyone had gone to work in the fields. After all, even though Lu Ye had supplied some machinery, those machines weren’t very useful. Weeding, fertilizing, watering still required manpower to complete.

At that moment, Mr. Qian came running out.

Back in Xichuan, he had received a phone call. Mr. Qian hadn’t gone home that evening, worried that Qiao Qingyu and the others would arrive in the middle of the night.

It was now the fifth morning since Qiao Qingyu and her group had left Qiao Family Team.

Qiao Qingyu pointed to the truck’s cargo bed and said crisply, "Vice Director Qian, the one thousand kilograms of cabbage seeds and radish seeds you requested have been delivered. Ning’an County seed station provided them at cost. I thought about calling you, but then I decided it would be better to check the seeds first. If you’re satisfied, you can keep them; if not, I’ll take them back to the base."

Vice Director Qian’s voice was thunderous, "Satisfied, very satisfied. Qingyu, you shouldn’t say that; it’d be seeing me as an outsider. Whatever you bring is always top-notch."

Then he turned to Fang Xiaomei, who was following him, and said, "Go call the accountant and cashier quickly."

Fang Xiaomei ran happily into the commune’s courtyard.

Public affairs, of course, must be conducted officially, and all proper procedures had to be followed. Qiao Qingyu handed over various certificates issued by the county seed station to Vice Director Qian.

Then the director scrutinized them carefully and earnestly. They were all stamped with the official seal. Qiao Qingyu really handled things in this regard cleanly and promptly.

Qiao Tianbao drove the truck to the commune’s warehouse.

People had already been arranged there, ready to unload the goods.

It was late May, and although it was a bit late, some of the disaster-affected land was already unfit for growing grains. Using what could be dubbed a ’dead horse as a living horse doctor’ approach, and Mr. Qian trusted Qiao Qingyu. If she said the growth period was short and that harvest would be normal, then he believed her.

His voice went hoarse from shouting during the transfer, telling everyone to be very careful. Then, financial procedures began. Qiao Qingyu first phoned the county seed station, informing them that the goods had been received and would be remitting the funds immediately...
