I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 140 Is this your purpose?

“I’m not heartbroken about the land here, I… I just feel that the land over there has been divided into small plots by you, making it easier to categorize these things.”

"I know, that's what I was thinking too. Little Ruyi, how long until the potatoes in the field can be harvested?"

It's been over twenty days; it's time to wrap things up here after the acceleration period.

"We'll have to wait a few more days."

It will take a few more days, so let's wait a few more days.

Accelerated time is a good thing, but it means we can't stop before the appointed time; it's okay to be past the appointed time, but not ahead of time.

They're quite well-behaved.

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished."

Dongfang Jin ignored it and got up to walk towards Youran Residence.

As I walked, I kept an eye on the crops in the fields and calculated the time. Potatoes had the shortest growing season, followed by rice...

This time, Long Jiu and Long Shiyi took away the most wheat and corn.

She didn't know how Ruyi managed to turn the wheat and corn into flour.

Thinking of this, I turned my head and saw several bags of wheat bran and corn cobs piled up on the villa steps.

Ruyi: Of course, it's with spiritual power!

However, she couldn't say that, otherwise, given the master's laziness, it would become a "spinning top" again.

It doesn't want that.

Dongfang Jin's current thought is that he hopes Long Jiu and Long Shiyi can buy more food and supplies along the way and arrive in Dongzhou safely.

Then Ruyi said, "The rice will last for two more days, and the sweet potatoes for five more days."

Seeing that it had heard what she was thinking, Dongfang Jin suddenly thought of a question, turned around, bent down and looked at her: "Little Ruyi, tell me, is it okay for me to rob someone?"

She thought of what Long Jiu had said, and stroked her chin, thinking about how to seize the Wu family's property.

Ruyi paused for a moment, then asked, "Whose house are you going to rob?"

Dongfang Jin narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "An enemy, Gu Chenglin's mother's killer."

"Then let's rob it, and use the money for disaster relief."

Dongfang Jin: "..."

I even wanted to use the stolen silver to make my whole family rich!

No business can be started without start-up capital.

In business, you have to pay homage to every deity.

If you buy people in the future, you have to provide them with food and lodging and also pay them wages.

If you start spending money as soon as you open your eyes, where does the money for the initial investment come from?

Since there's this clueless sucker who keeps causing trouble, he must have a lot of money.

Since she has the advantage of having a spatial ability, who else would she steal from if not him?

Once he's out of money, let's see how he behaves.

"Wealth must be earned through one's own labor."

Dongfang Jin...

My innermost thoughts were heard again.

Silently, he walked into the house, found the box, pulled over a small stool, sat down, and began to rummage through the Qiankun bags.

She asked Gu Chenglin to try opening these Qiankun bags, but in the end, he couldn't open any of them.

Just thinking about his frustrated expression made her want to laugh.

Dongfang Jin opened a bag and looked inside at something that resembled rice seedlings: "Ruyi, what kind of seeds are these?"

"Oh, Lingmi, its cycle is nine-nine days."

Dongfang Jin...

Ninety-nine days? How many days is that?

Ruyi looked at her as if she were an idiot: "Ninety-nine eighty-one days?"

Dongfang Jin ignored it directly: "Is there any difference between it and rice?"

"Remove the word 'ma'. Although this spirit rice is the lowest grade of seed, for people like you, eating it for a long time can change a person's constitution."

Even if it doesn't prolong life, it can certainly make you less prone to illness.

Dongfang Jin hadn't expected such a benefit. Indeed, the rice seeds brought in from outside only had a 28-day growth cycle when planted on that land.

This takes eighty-one days, which is quite a difference in the process.

Long growth cycle, delicious and nutritious, and promotes longevity? Absolutely.

Yes, we can plant some for our family to eat.

Dongfang Jin put the bag of seeds aside: "Oh, plant a small patch, for our own family to eat."

"what is this?"

"Red rice is generally used to replenish blood and qi, and this process takes longer, requiring 120 days."

It is comparable to a first-grade blood-replenishing pill and a first-grade qi-replenishing pill.

Dongfang Jin rolled her eyes inwardly. They've already produced the pills, why is it acting like they're cultivating immortality?

"Oh, I'll plant a small patch too, to keep for myself or give as a gift."

This would be a really classy gift.

As one wishes……

Giving gifts?

What do you think?

And so, Dongfang Jin asked questions while rummaging through the lattice.

Ruyi silently squatted to the side and replied to each message.

What good can this landowner say about her? All the previous landowners had planted medicinal herbs.

She's quite something, planting all these low-grade things.

I don't understand.

You said that if you sold a single ginseng root, how much grain could you get in return?

Thinking of this, her eyes became somewhat resentful.

Finally, after the master and servant sorted through the seeds, they put together several kinds of seeds that neither of them recognized, leaving several Qiankun bags unused.

As one wishes……

"Is this what you've been trying to achieve?"

"Hehe, let's not say anything since we see through this. I'm going to harvest the grain and start farming, so I can help you grow as tall as me."

Ruyi stood up, looked up at the height of the two people, silently turned her head and left.

Given how lazy this master is, if it wants to grow as tall as her, she'd probably have to plant spiritual plants tens of thousands of times.

Never mind, she still urged her to do more good deeds, so that as long as the country's fortunes rise, she can also grow taller.

Sigh... Just let nature take its course?

Don't rush them!

The problem is that this master is too lazy, but there's a diligent one, who isn't my master.

Ugh, I'm craving egg tarts.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

Dongfang Jin watched Ruyi fly away quickly on her short legs, puzzled. She really had a childish temper; her face could change in an instant.

When she came out of the space again, she heard Jun Qixian calling her that it was time to have lunch.

I grabbed my coat and put it on, then went outside. The sky was even more overcast than in the morning; it seemed like the sky had been holding back all day.

……

Celery stir-fried with pork, shredded green peppers and potatoes, mutton and radish soup, rice and steamed buns.

When Jun Wenhui saw Dongfang Jin come in, she smiled slightly at her and said, "Chenglin bought a sheep. He took it to Aunt Gu's house and said that he and Xiaojun wouldn't be back for lunch."

They told us not to wait for them; it seems Manager Xue has come in person again.

“Looks like it. They’ll have to get busy. Let’s eat,” Dongfang Jin said, scooping up half a bowl of rice, adding two spoonfuls of radish ball soup and a small spoonful of chili oil to the rice.

"Eating radishes in winter and ginger in summer is better than a doctor's prescription, wonderful!"

Jun Wenhui chuckled and said, "How come your mind is always full of these novel ideas?"

“Aunt Hui, this is the truth. Believe me, and you will have meat to eat.”

Seeing her eat like that, Gu Caiwei held up her bowl and said, "Little lady, I want to eat like that too. Can you give me some chili oil and lots of sesame seeds?"

"You should eat less spicy food, it's easy to get a sore throat," Dongfang Jin said, scooping up some sesame seeds floating on top of the chili oil and putting them into her bowl.

Ever since Gu Chenglin bought half a bag of chili peppers from a caravan last time, this girl has been eating them after she made chili oil.

From initially feeling so spicy that I stuck out my tongue and cried, to now constantly craving this flavor.

"I'm not afraid of spicy food now."

"Eat less, you're still young and your stomach is weak."

"understood."

Dongfang Jin looked at Gu Jingye and Shen Qihui's longing eyes and asked, "Do you want it?"

Shen Qihui nodded: "Auntie, I'll have less."

Seeing this, Gu Jingye also said, "I'll just have a little bit."

He's not as good as his sister; these past few days, he still can't handle the spiciness, but he craves it even when he doesn't eat it.

Jun Wenhui also followed Dongfang Jin's example and ate rice and meatball soup together, adding a spoonful of chili oil to her bowl as well.

She tried the chili oil twice and fell in love with the flavor.
