Afterwards, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to guard outside her room and not let anyone in.
Then she went into ‘space’ and collected the sweet potatoes planted on both pieces of the land.
The speed of growing plants in the outside land and in space was different. The sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city had just grown full of sweet potato leaves, and the ones in her space were ready to be harvested.
After collecting two baskets of sweet potatoes, the experience value of the space had increased significantly, leaving less than 100 experience points from the 1000 experience points that was required for upgrade.
Wei Ruo didn’t move the harvested sweet potatoes out of the space, because it would be too suspicious to have two baskets of sweet potatoes out of thin air.
Wei Ruo stored the sweet potatoes in the space after harvesting them. As long as the storage environment was dry, they wouldn’t go bad in a short period of time.
It was inconvenient to transport it out of the space for sale now, so she kept it in the space and kept it as her food reserve.
If at any time there was a crisis or a shortage of food and water, she has available food and water supply in the space, which could at least ensure that you would not starve to death.
The next day, Wei Ruo went personally to the south of the city, and with the document Wei Mingting gave her, she successfully passed the guards at the south gate.
In the south of the city, Wei Ruo selected a flat land which was accessible by transportation and close to the water source as her experimental field.
She let the two long-term workers assigned to her by Yun Shi carried out the weeding and digging the land.
Afterwards, they were asked to transport water from nearby small rivers to irrigate the land every day.
It was indeed puzzling to have people water every day even though there was nothing planted on the ground.
Moreover, Wei Ruo requested the long-term workers to turn the land into a rice seedling field that could grow rice. It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and other people's rice had already grown over the knee.
Wei Ruo now wanted to grow rice in a whole seedling field, her decision really made people wonder if she really knew how to grow rice.
Both Mo mo Zhang and the two long-term workers had the same opinions on this, thinking that Wei Ruo's operation was strange.
After two days of work, Mo mo Zhang couldn't help but mention to Wei Ruo: "Miss, why don't you plant other crops? Although I haven't farmed for many years, when I was in my hometown,
I often heard that all things come at a certain season, and there is a certain season for growing crops, melons, fruits and vegetables. After this season passes, rice will not be able to grow well!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I promise that it's not too late to sow rice after you've cleared the land." Obviously, Wei Ruo knew the importance of time.
It was almost June, and regular rice definitely couldn’t be grown.
But the rice seeds in her space were of the variety that could be used for both early season and late season.
Early season rice would bloom next month, while late season rice would not be sown until June or July of the lunar calendar, so she could fully catch up.
In this way, she could also experiment with the development of saline-alkali land and late season rice planting.
If it succeeded, not only could the arable area of Xingshan County be greatly increased, but it could also realize the possibility of planting two crops of rice per year, increasing food production.
"Then what about those melons, fruits and vegetables and whatever straws and rice bran that Miss asked us to collect before?" Mo mo Zhang asked again.
“Those will continue to be stored. It will take some time, but when the time comes, I will tell you how to use them.” Wei Ruo said.
Mo mo Zhang looked at Wei Ruo's confident face and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Forget it, it was useless to talk about it. The eldest young lady didn't seem to be able to listen to people's advice.
Moreover, the eldest young lady also said that If she failed this, it would be her own responsibility. So when the time came, the one who would be punished would be her, which had nothing to do with Mo mo Zhang.

Rice and barley are both grains that have some tolerance for alkaline and saline soils. Same with sorghum, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, legumes, and some melons, if I recall correctly. There's also Salicornia aka pickleweed, glasswort, samphire, sea asparagus, sea beans, etc. It grows well in brackish salt water environments and when dried can be used as a savory salt seasoning.
