Chapter 152 - So This Is It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After digging up a few sprouts, Jiang Yue said, “It’s a little troublesome to plant this. When the time comes, we’ll have to make ridges on the barren land, one by one. It’s best if there are two large ridges so that people can walk through the ridges and pick the strawberries in the future.”

“You can also ask our family to help you with this. The earlier we plant it, the better.” Xue Yan said without raising her head while digging.

“True,” Jiang Yue agreed.

“By the way, ” Xue Yan thought of something, “How many fruits will it bear in the end?”

“I’m going to plant high-yield strawberries,” Jiang Yue said. “One strawberry seedling can bear about eight fruit, so eight thousand strawberry seedlings per acre can bear about six thousand fruits.”

6000?

No matter how big their stomachs were, they could never finish such a big batch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In order to prevent her from being embarrassed like last time, Xue Yan didn’t mention the word eat, but only said, “They could be sold for a high price.”

Compared to the last time, Jiang Yue was much calmer and even took the initiative to mention the word eat.

Jiang Yue nodded. “Of course, we’ll have to sell them if we can’t finish them. They don’t have them here. We’re the only ones who have them. We can sell them at a higher price.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were talking in a low voice while digging around for the plants. No one else could hear them, but a few women washing clothes by the river noticed them.

One of the women stopped washing clothes and looked over. “What are Jiang Yue and Xue Yan digging? Wufu seems to be digging for something too…”

When the other women who were washing clothes heard this, they also stopped washing clothes and looked over.

“I don’t know,” a woman said.

“I’ll go take a look.” A woman stood up, wiped the water off her hands, and walked towards Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both saw it and kept their mouths shut.

The reason why they had to dig up the raspberries was to make it more reasonable for strawberries to appear in this world. It had nothing to do with them, and it was good for these people to see their search for raspberry seeds.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, what are you guys doing?” As soon as the woman came over, she bent down to see what they were doing, and then looked at the basket on their back.

Before they could speak, she saw that they were raspberry digging. She was surprised and asked, “Why are you digging for raspberries?”

Jiang Yue told them what she had told Xue Dafu and the others the night before.

The woman laughed. “Although it can be used as medicine, it can’t be sold for much money. I really don’t know why you’re doing this. You’re just two kids with nothing to do. Alright, alright, you guys continue digging. I’m going to continue washing my clothes. I thought you guys were digging for precious things, but it turned out to be nothing.”

Before they could say goodbye, the woman left and went to wash clothes on the stone. She even told the other women who were washing clothes about this matter like it was a joke.

The women there couldn’t stop laughing.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t seem to hear the peals of laughter.

“Xue Yan! Jiang Yue!” Suddenly, Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao came over. They looked especially happy.

Xue Dabao was also carrying a bamboo basket.

Xue Xiaobao was also carrying one, but the bamboo basket was particularly small.

The two children were also holding small shovels in their hands.

Xue Dabao was still a clutz, and Xue Xiaobao was still a little silly.

Behind them was Xue Gouzi, who was also carrying a bamboo basket and holding a small shovel. Xue Gouzi was also wearing coarse cloth, but there were a few patches on it.

Xue Gouzi was as timid as usual.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both stood up.

“Why are you guys here?” Xue Yan asked.

Xue Xiaobao ran over first. “I saw Wufu digging in the back of our house, so I asked him what he was doing. He said he was digging raspberries for you and Jiang Yue, so my brother and I came. Xue Gouzi happened to be in Grandpa’s house, so Grandpa asked Xue Gouzi to come with us to help. Can we? Can we?”
