    For rural people, the seedlings cultivated by Xiao Jinli were rtively rare.


    For example, Purple-ck Sheep Horn Pepper, Purple Cabbage, Spore Kale, Pagoda Cauliflower, Gold Warty Melon, Square Beans, Artichoke, and so on.


    Therefore, although there were many people who wanted seedlings, they only took a few to nt.


    As long as they could survive and prove valuable, they could be nted again next year.


    If they couldn’t survive, it would be a waste of Jinli’s energy to cultivate them.


    Of course, it’s not just a matter of grabbing one type of seedling; everyone agrees on what types she nts, so as not to take away all of Xiao Jinli’s seedlings.


    After the vigers took some, Xiao Jinli nted the rest herself.


    There weren’t many seedlings left, so this five points ofnd was just about right with a few different types nted.


    If there wasn’t enoughnd, they could always nt on othernds.


    Xiao Jinli looked at the earthworms constantly churning in the ditches, and her little eyebrows began to furrow.


    Were there too many earthworms now?


    In each row ofnd, there were already thousands of earthworms, and each one was so robust.


    Xiao Jinli muttered, “It seems that these earthworms need to be diverted to othernds. Otherwise, if this continues, the wholend will be filled with earthworms, and there will be no meaning to nting.”


    As she was pondering, the Vige Chief suddenly came in. Seeing the dense earthworms churning in the ditches, he felt a slight tingling in his scalp.


    Well, he felt a bit ustrophobic.


    The Vige Chief looked around and asked, “Jinli, why are there so many earthworms? Will this affect the nting?”


    Xiao Jinli said, “Uncle Vige Chief, I am just thinking about what to do with these earthworms.”


    Upon hearing this, the Vige Chief’s eyes lit up. He said, “Jinli, my wife told me that these earthworms not only turn the soil and loosen it, but they also improve the soil, making the crops grow better, right?”


    “Yes.” Xiao Jinli nodded, “So I started by raising some earthworms. I didn’t expect them to multiply so much.”


    “Is that a lot?” The Vige Chief asked with a smile, “Jinli, if you think there are too many earthworms, why don’t you sell some to me? I’ll release them into the fields to improve the soil.”


    Xiao Jinli’s eyes brightened and she said excitedly, “Okay, okay. I’ll get a bucket and take some home for you!”


    With that, she turned and walked back to the yard, found a small bucket, and took a pair of fire tongs. She asked the Vige Chief, “Uncle Vige Chief, how many do you want?”


    The Vige Chief scratched his head and said, “I don’t know how many.”


    “Well, how muchnd do you n to cover?”


    The Vige Chief thought for a moment and said, “I have about three acres for growing vegetables. Jinli, let’s start with three acres. You can decide how many earthworms are needed.”


    Xiao Jinli squatted down, picked up the fire tongs, and caught the earthworms one by one into the bucket. She said, “I don’t know how many earthworms are appropriate for three acres since my earthworms are so big and long. How about I give you one thousand first?”


    The Vige Chief agreed, “Alright, let’s do one thousand. Do you have any more fire tongs?”


    “There’s another one in the corner at the entrance,” said Xiao Jinli.


    The Vige Chief went to find the fire tongs.


    Then the two of them caught earthworms together in the ditches, counting as they went.


    Half an hourter, the bucket was almost full of earthworms.


    It was fortunate that the earthworms were sorge; otherwise, a thousand earthworms might not even fill a third of the bucket.


    Carrying the full bucket of earthworms, the Vige Chief asked, “How do you n to sell these worms? By weight or by quantity?”


    “By quantity,” Xiao Jinli said, “I’m selling earthworms for the first time, and you’re my first customer, so I’ll give you a discount. Let’s say one dime per worm. Uncle Vige Chief, just give me one hundred yuan.”


    “Ha, one dime per worm, isn’t that too cheap?” The Vige Chief thought he was getting too good a deal. “Why don’t you raise the price a bit, to three dimes?”


    Xiao Jinli smiled and said, “Uncle Vige Chief, didn’t I tell you? This is my first time selling earthworms, so I gave you the biggest discount. When I sell them next time, I’m afraid I’ll have to raise the price.”


    When the Vige Chief heard this, he realized, “Are you going to raise and sell earthworms in the future?”


    Xiao Jinli nodded and said, “Yes, I have this n. However, it depends on how effective these earthworms are. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Vige Chief to help me with the experiment. If they work well, I will definitely continue to sell earthworms. If not, these earthworms will just roll around and turn soil in this piece ofnd.”


    “Haha… Alright, let Uncle Vige Chief take them back and test their effects,” said the Vige Chief happily.


    As the Vige Chief happily carried a bucket of earthworms from the greenhouse, people along the way asked him about it. He smiled and said, “I bought these from Jinli. She asked me to try their effects. If they work well, she will raise more earthworms to sell.”


    “Hehe, if these earthworms can really improve thend and promote the growth of crops, I will definitely buy some too in the future.”


    That’s what the vigers said.


    After the Vige Chief left, Xiao Zhi was frantically shouting in Xiao Jinli’s mental sea, “Ah, Master, are you really selling earthworms? Do you really want to get rich by selling these earthworms?”


    Xiao Jinli looked very calm. She said, “Why worry, this is just the beginning. What if the vigers don’t buy the earthwormster?”


    Xiao Zhi angrily retorted, “How is that possible? You should know that those earthworms have been raised with Lingquan water. Now 80% of the water stored in their bodies is Lingquan water. Once the earthworms roll around in the fields a few more times and squeeze out the Lingquan water, how could the soil andnd not improve? Ah! Can the things nted in thisnd with Lingquan water not be good?”


    “Isn’t this better! The more earthworms I sell, the more the vigers’ soil improves. In a way, it means I’ve helped the vigers secretly, right?”


    Xiao Zhi suddenly realized and said, “So, it’s all about raising earthworms to help these vigers?”


    Xiao Jinli’s lips curled up, “Yes! The vigers here are very simple and kind-hearted. In the vige for over 10 years, everyone has called me the Lucky Star and the vige treasure, but I haven’t really been able to help them effectively.”


    “How can you say you haven’t helped?” disagreed Xiao Zhi. “You’ve been dealing with all kinds of things for the vigers since you were a child!”


    “Yes, because I’ve handled vige affairs, the vigers respect me,” nodded Xiao Jinli. “But what I want to do is to truly help the vigers out of poverty and lead them to a moderately prosperous life!”
