The fields gently soothed by the golden early autumn are filled with the fragrant smell of nature, and a very faint aroma fills the air.

In the village, each family has a very limited area of land to grow freely.

It's up to you to choose what you want to grow.

That's the household income of those villagers.

After all, there is very little land that can be used for farming.

The village is surrounded by vast forests in the east, west and north directions, while a few kilometers to the south are lush mountains.

The village is a bit of a sealed paradise.

They used to go into the forest and live by fishing on the feed of the large lake in the middle of the forest.

Now, how to use the limited agricultural land to get the most out of it is a compulsory course for the villagers.

For example, it is easy to grow, has tenacious vitality, and does not even need to be supervised, as long as the dragon snake grass is watered once a week, the purchase price of the Chamber of Commerce is 2 stars and coins per catty.

Dragon snake grass is not only the fastest-growing vegetable, but also one of the few vegetables that can tolerate partial shade, and can grow at temperatures as low as 7~8 degrees. It is very hardy and can be planted even in winter. And it only takes one to two weeks from planting to harvesting, and the leaves can grow greener and pull it out of the ground.

For those who are very lazy, in order to save trouble, or those elderly people in the village who have limited mobility, they may choose to plant this convenient dragon snake grass.

This is also regarded as the village's subsistence income.

Sowing seeds and watering them twice a month can change the household income and expenditure of 300 to 600 star coins.

Of course, some people will take risks.

Growing vegetables or fruits that are difficult to survive but have a very high price will end up in a situation where you have no money to return to because of inexperience.

For example, a few years ago, almost every household in the village chose to grow a fruit called purple berries. Because the buyer of the Chamber of Commerce told them that if they could grow the purple berries, the Chamber of Commerce would buy them at a price of 5,000 Xingyao coins per catty, and at the same time, they also sold a bag of purple fragrance berry seeds at a sky-high price of 500,000 Xingyao coins for this barren village.

The 500,000 Star Coins were raised by the entire village.

Almost every family has an average of six or seven hundred Star Shine Coins.

The village chief also said at the time that the seeds were bought by everyone and that no one would lose money.

So except for one seed for each family, the other seeds were planted in the common one-acre orchard of the village.

The village has a five-acre field, one of which has some fruit, and the other four acres are swollen with the entire village's rations.

The whole village depends on these common fields for food.

If it is harvest season, they will also sell some fruits, sweet potatoes and other things to the chamber of commerce.

The money received will be distributed among each family...... It's an extra income and expenditure.

At that time, in order to plant purple berries, the village chief also decided to cut down all the orchards on the one acre of land owned by the whole village, and those fruit trees that had been growing for six or seven years.

Because the planting conditions of purple berries are quite harsh, they like a mild environment, that is, an environment where the temperature difference does not change much, the weather does not change much, and there can be no other plants around to grab nutrients.

But if there are too many nutrients, it will 'die', and if there is too much water, the rhizome will rot, and it will not be good if there is a lack of water and nutrients.

The fruit can only be grown in greenhouses made of glass.

No one has ever successfully grown it in the wild.

A rainstorm can destroy it, and if the climate gets a little colder, it will die.

Where in the world is the four seasons like spring, and it does not rain, the surrounding temperature must be controlled at 20~30 degrees, and it must be ensured that its nutrients and water cannot be excessive?

The people of the Chamber of Commerce knew that the village could not be planted, but they fooled them into raising 500,000 Star Coins to buy those seeds.

Those seeds are actually very cheap.

Even in the city of Kalmat, you can buy a large bag for a few thousand, usually as feed for certain insects.

So the result......

During that year, every household had no income.

But it's okay, not starvation.

They just cut down the trees in the orchard and planted the purple berries of the preachy fathers.

But well...... During that year, every family planted one in their private field, and those who planted it in the first month should be glad that they could immediately grow some other vegetables to regain their blood, and if they were not able to grow dragon snake grass, they would also have a stable income of a few hundred Star Coins that month.

Those who take good care of them every day, and even keep vigil next to the seedlings of purple berries, are sad, no matter how hard they work, a rainstorm makes them cry and scold the thief!

Some of the villagers even fed the hard-to-raise purple berries for seven or eight months.

Because they are very witty and kept at home.

Every day, I caress the leaves of its purple stems and veins more gently than I do with my own son, and watch it grow day by day...... They thought it wouldn't be long before they were happy.

But winter is coming...... The dream was shattered.

Even though they lit a fireplace in their home, it didn't work at all.

Purple berries simply can't accept such a large temperature contrast.

Now, the villagers have gradually forgotten the pain, and under the leadership of the village chief, some vegetables and sweet potatoes are sorted and boxed.

Chambers of Commerce buyers come every two weeks.

Count the days, either today or tomorrow.

Everyone was busy, sorting the vegetables into a blue crisper with a logo on it.

In this backward village, the only product that can be called high-tech is this integrated electronic fresh-keeping box that weighs automatically.

Different kinds of vegetables are packed into different boxes, and it can automatically weigh them and calculate the price according to the type of vegetables.

The people of the Chamber of Commerce come with empty boxes, which is equivalent to the order that needs to be received next time.

Pay for the goods according to the price in the box, then load the box with the goods on the transport truck and drive to Kalmat City.

More than half of these hundreds of large boxes have the words 'dragon snake grass' written on them.

After all, this is the best grown, the highest yielding vegetable.

Someone from the Chamber of Commerce would randomly check a few of the boxes every time they came over, and rarely did all of them.

After all, the village and the chamber of commerce have been cooperating for so many years.

The only time there was an accident was when someone hid in the box of 'Dragon Snake Grass' and infiltrated Kalmat City.

But it's not a big deal, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce forget it.

Since then, there have been no accidents, and the cooperation between the two sides has been quite pleasant.

The cultivation of purple berries was the choice of the villagers themselves, and the Chamber of Commerce also gave some compensation that could be regarded as relief after the fact.

To be reasonable, the Chamber of Commerce should not have taken any responsibility for any compensation.

This humane act of the Chamber of Commerce captured these villagers in the village, making them almost grateful to the people of the Chamber of Commerce, and they almost treated them as if they were new parents.

With this gratitude, it is natural that there will be no more moths.

They won't confuse the real with the fake, steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and they won't do anything to increase the weight.

The harvest season awaits the arrival of the receiver.

They've been busy since yesterday, and today they're just a few boxes away from filling. There may be a few boxes missing, but that's fine, when the time comes, when the Chamber of Commerce arrives, they have plenty of empty boxes.

This high-tech fresh-keeping box, put the vegetables in, even after a few weeks, the leaves will not turn yellow, will not spoil, and the price is not expensive, a box is about only six or seven thousand star coins, which is not expensive for the Chamber of Commerce. They can earn enough money by changing the vegetables they harvest in the village, even if these boxes are given to the village, it doesn't matter.

But these boxes were not given to them, nor were they bought by the villagers.

Instead, it is deposited......

In fact, this storage is not much different from delivery.

After all, when the Chamber of Commerce came over, they would collect the boxes full of goods and leave the empty boxes in the village.

In normal times, these boxes are stored in the village warehouse, and are personally guarded by someone appointed by the village chief, who can register them to borrow them.

Almost every household will borrow a box to preserve the freshness of the vegetables they pick.

After all...... The vegetables are harvested early, and the fields can be replanted.

If the harvest can be harvested the next day after the chamber of commerce leaves, will it be placed in the field and continue to stay for half a month? Or do you wait for these vegetables to turn yellow and spoil? This can't afford to wait for the villagers who are planting those dragon snake grasses.

Of course, the village chief will open the door of convenience to the people in the village.

Empty boxes can be taken by each household, if not enough, you can register and borrow another one, and wait until the day of receipt to hand it over, if you can fill the box, it will be checked and recorded by the village chief, the village chief is the best person in mathematics in this village, and when he was young, he was also called a god operator.

For example, if a family grows dragon snake grass, he does not fill the box, the village chief will record how much share of the total price of this person in this box, in fact, this automatic weighing integrated electronic fresh-keeping box will automatically calculate, the village chief just records the money, when the second one also puts the dragon snake grass, the village chief will carry out a lightning-fast mental calculation, immediately calculate the current XX price minus the original recorded price, and get the money that the two should get.

Anyway, when the village chief was young, he fought against a person who claimed to be the emperor of mental arithmetic.

Although it was a fiasco......

But the village chief in the village, where there is no place for even a computer, is definitely the leader in the arithmetic world that no one can surpass.

Now his job is to help the villagers make statistics, and the villagers also trust this winner who once competed with the Mental Arithmetic Emperor.

This is the most important work of the village, and it directly affects how much money each family will share at that time.

If it were someone else...... Who can be accurate to two decimal places?

Of course, there is no 0.1 or 0.01 currency on the Jewels.

The smallest denomination is 1 Shine Coin.

If there is less than 1 Starbucks at the time of settlement, the settlement will be rounded to two decimal places.

There's a college question in this.

Many of the witty villagers have made up a XX.5.

Don't think that the One Star Token is not important to the villagers.

The currency circulating in the village is also Star Coins, but the prices here are very different from those outside.

If you eat Wowotou, you can buy ten Stars in the village for 1 Starbuck, and you can eat it for three days.

1 Star Shine Coin is eaten for three days, which is something that is not even unimaginable in other places of Star Shine.

A bowl of instant noodles costs 100 Star Coins, which is only enough for one meal...... The price of a bowl of instant noodles in this village can be eaten for 300 days.

If the people in the nearby city of Kalmat knew about this, I wonder if they would be so surprised that their jaws would drop.

There may be many people who want to live here.

Everywhere, there are always people who are particularly poor.

When the poor people in Kalmat City come to be a village husband, they may be able to experience being a 'rich man', and those who can't find a wife in the city may be able to hug each other in the village, and there are groups of wives and concubines.

Sometimes, as long as you figure it out, there will be many better choices in life.

Instead of being a poor person in the city with no status and no human rights, it is better to take the only savings you have to the village, where you can live for three days with one star of Yaoyao.

It's just a pity.

Just as the village does not know about life in the city of Kalmat, the people of the city of Kalmat cannot understand the village at all.

Between them is a forest inhabited by ferocious beasts.

No matter how advanced Xingyao's technology is now, there are always some places that have never been exposed to those high-end technologies.

In fact, there are many small villages like villages, little known villages, and people who live a very primitive life.

Their clothes are handmade, their food, everything they have comes from nature's gifts, born here and then died here.

Maybe some of them want to get out there and see the outside world.

They are willing to risk their lives to make their way through the great forest that confines them.

Just like Paul.

At the beginning, he also had a dream, looked forward to the outside world, and wanted to go out.

He was clever enough to hide in the boxes transported by the Chamber of Commerce and infiltrate the city of Kalmat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to enter the city of Kalmat, because he didn't have any documents to prove his identity. In order to ensure that no spies from other kingdoms get involved, entry and entry into the city need to be reviewed.

This directly kills the hopes of these people.

People who go out will not necessarily adapt to the outside world, but will be polluted by people or things outside.

That's how Paul was.

He wanted Toya to infiltrate the city of Calmat and steal the wallets of the rich people.

In other words, he had not left the village to go to Kalmat City in the first place, and he would not have such a crooked thought at all.
