Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Beneficial for the Enhancement of Special Ability

Luo Qiao nodded and said, "Good, when the time comes, I’ll have to learn properly. Auntie’s sauce is really delicious. Maybe in a few years, Auntie’s cooking skills could even make a lot of money."

Auntie Gao laughed and said, "You’re just trying to make me happy. Every household makes their own sauce."

It was at this moment that Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang came over: "Has Luo Qiao come back?"

Luo Qiao looked over: "Brigade Leader, are you going out?"

Gao Jiefang nodded and said, "Going to the bridge to listen to them chat."

Luo Qiao quickly asked, "Brigade Leader, when is our village going to start allocating fields to households?"

Gao Jiefang stopped walking: "Soon, now that the crops in the field have been mostly harvested and this year’s public grain has been delivered, the village will probably start after the grain distribution is done. The measuring and allocation have already been tallied up."

Luo Qiao smiled: "Then I can also be allocated a plot for my food supply, right?"

Gao Jiefang asked, "Don’t you plan to go back to your parents’ place?"

Luo Qiao smiled: "I’m already grown up now. Even if I go back to Capital City, that would be when I get into university in the future. So at least for these few years, my household registration will probably have to stay in the village."

Gao Jiefang said, "I’ll have someone notify you before the land division, so you can come back and draw a number."

Luo Qiao smiled: "I won’t take up the village’s cultivated land, but could you set aside that self-sufficient plot for me?"

Gao Jiefang asked somewhat puzzled, "Is that plot not enough?"

Luo Qiao asked, "Can I contract mountain land or sloping land then?"

Gao Jiefang then didn’t go out, but found a place to sit down: "Luo Qiao, contracting would definitely require money, and normally, it needs to be paid in one lump sum. This isn’t a joking matter."

Luo Qiao said, "I understand. I won’t take the villagers’ cultivated land, I just want to contract some sloping land or mountain land. This won’t affect the interests of the village people and shouldn’t make things difficult for you, Brigade Leader. So I wanted to give you a heads-up in advance."

Gao Jiefang frowned and asked, "Can I ask what you plan to do with the sloping and mountain land?"

Luo Qiao didn’t hide it, "I plan to plant fruit trees. There won’t be any profits in the short term, but once the trees bear fruit, the returns should be good."

Gao Jiefang was silent for a while, "Most of our village’s sloping land and mountain areas are at the foot of Daqing Mountain. Apart from the trouble of clearing the land, there’s the inevitable issue of large animals coming down from the mountain. Have you considered these problems?"

Luo Qiao said, "Planting crops might be affected, but my plan is to plant fruit trees, which should be less affected. And if it really doesn’t work out, I’ll think of something else."

Gao Jiefang, seeing that Luo Qiao had made up her mind, didn’t try to dissuade her further. Luo Qiao was decisive, but as he got up to leave he said, "There are still more than ten days before the land division. Think it over carefully."

Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "Okay."

Luo Qiao didn’t reveal her plans, although she was certain her plans would succeed. But until they did, it was better to keep a low profile, to avoid people accusing her of daydreaming.

The next morning, Luo Qiao went up the mountain before dawn. She hung a bag of snake and insect repellent on her body and found a spot to meditate. She hadn’t expected that the essence of the morning plants would be denser than at other times.

After finishing her practice and looking at the plants nourished by her "Special Ability," then gazing towards the sunrise in the east, Luo Qiao realized that it could be related to the time of day. Perhaps the sunrise was more conducive to the enhancement of her "Special Ability."

Today she had things to do. Going down the mountain, she went straight home after collecting fish from the pond on the way. She hadn’t expected Stone to have already cooked porridge. Luo Qiao prepared the dough last night. When she came back, she washed her hands, kneaded the dough, and steamed both flower rolls and sugar-stuffed buns, sorting out lunch provisions.

When Luo Qiao and Stone arrived at their reserved land, Old Lady Lin was already waiting there. Luo Qiao asked, "Grandma Lin, how come you’re here so early?"

Old Lady Lin laughed, "When you get old, you sleep less. I just got here too."

To Old Lady Lin’s surprise, Luo Qiao was not boasting. The yield of her small reserved plot was nearly catching up to others’ larger fields. The potatoes and sweet potatoes were uniformly large and well-shaped.

By noon, they had dug up two-thirds of them, piling them up while digging so that the yard was half filled up.
