    “Yes, young man. We heard we can extract oil from the rapeseed, and the yield will be better than peanuts.”


    “We heard that from your mother. She also says one acre of peanuts can’t yield as much oil as rapeseed.” Everyone was polite to Su Wenxiu because he said Shen Qiuhua was his mother.


    Besides peanut oil, people could also userd from pork for cooking. However, pork would yield very little oil and be too costly. People were typically reluctant to buy pork, let alone roast it. Ultimately, it was better to use peanuts or rapeseed for oil extraction.


    Su Wenxiu understood what some of the people said. He remembered his mother telling him about it during dinner the night before. He said, “Wait a moment while I go and talk to my mother.”


    Su Binn also heard themotion and approached the noise. Su Wenxiu told her about the situation without waiting for his sister to ask.


    Su Binn replied to Su Wenxiu, “There’s no need to go to the factory to call Mother home. I’ll handle it.”


    “Let me help you, Little Sister.” Su Wenxiu knew his sister would go to the warehouse to gather rapeseed.


    Su Binn nodded and said to the eight people at the door, “Come in and sit for a while. I’ll go to the warehouse to get the rapeseed. How much do you guys want to buy?”


    “Miss Su, we’d like to know the price first, if that’s okay,” someone asked hesitantly. Everyone was nervous as they would be unable to afford rapeseeds if they were too expensive. Therefore, they knew they had to ask about its price first.


    Su Binn answered, “It’s five copper coins for 500 grams of rapeseed. Six hundred grams of seeds can cover one acre ofnd, producing more than 400 pounds of rapeseed. You can use 600 grams of them to yield about four oil bottles.”


    However, that was only an approximate number. The rapeseeds yield would be higher since Su Binn had nted them in her pocket dimension.


    Everyone was stunned when they heard her exnation. They could yield


    more oil than peanuts.


    A woman recovered from her initial shock first and asked tremblingly, “Only five coins for 500 grams of rapeseed?”


    “How can rapeseed be so cheap if it can yield that much oil?” Someone asked again because they were still in disbelief.


    Su Binn nodded. “Yes, five copper coins for 500 grams of rapeseed.


    This time, everyone heard it more clearly. “I’d like to buy 500 grams of rapeseed, Miss Su.”


    “I’ll buy two pounds of rapeseed since I have arge plot ofnd. We can nt more and extract more oil with this production. We can even sell our oil for money if we can’t finish it quickly.”


    “Yes, you’re right. I’ll take two pounds of seeds, too!”


    “My family doesn’t have muchnd, so I’ll only buy one and a half pounds.”


    “Do you guys know how to nt and harvest these rapeseeds? When will you be nting them?” Su Binn’s question puzzled everyone.


    “Don’t we use the same method as peanuts?” No one knew how to nt or harvest rapeseeds properly and just guessed instead.


    Immediately after, they looked at Su Binn and wondered if she would exin it.


    “Does it cost money to learn how to grow rapeseed?”


    “I don’t think so. The Su Teng vigers say Miss Su is kind and has helped many people. Besides, if she wanted to profit from us, she wouldn’t sell rapeseed so cheaply.”


    “Also, I heard from Miss Shen that we can harvest and eat rapeseed as vegetables. We simply must nt such a beneficial thing.”


    Su Binn noticed everyone’s uneasy expressions and patiently exined, “Rapeseeds are diverse, but there aren’t many requirements for their temperament. Everyone can use theirnd to grow rapeseed.


    “If you crush corn husks and wheat stalks before burying them as a fertilizer, the rapeseed can absorb their nutrients. When nting, ensure the rapeseeds are in rows with a specific interval. Also…” Su Binn dly shared her knowledge of growing rapeseed.


    The eight visitors listened attentively and understood everything she said because they were farmers who relied on harvesting for a living.


    “Thank you, Miss Su. We’ll remember everything and nt the rapeseed properly when spring arrives.”


    Su Binn was shocked when she heard thatdy’s words. Su Binn thought that most people nted their crops during the spring and harvested them in autumn.


    ‘So, that’s why these people think rapeseed is the same as peanuts.’


    She said, “You can nt the rapeseed during winter and harvest them in the spring of next year. Of course, you can still nt them in early spring and harvest them two to three monthster.


    “You can also eat them as vegetables or wait for the rapeseed to bloom and then pick them for oil extraction.”


    Everyone only wanted to buy rapeseed for its oil but did not expect to gain another benefit from it.


    “We can nt them during winter?”


    Everyone hadpleted their autumn harvest and had nothing else to do, so they wanted to grow more crops to continue earning money. They could not nt regr crops during autumn and winter. Especially when it got too cold, causing the crops to die.


    However, Su Binn told these people they could nt rapeseed during winter.


    ‘Isn’t that too magical?!’


    “M-Miss Su, are you telling the truth?”


    Some people were so excited that their jaws dropped. They were so hurried to buy rapeseed that they could not wait for Shen Qiuhua to return to them after discussing things with her daughter.


    They wanted to store the rapeseed at home and nt them when spring arrived. No one expected to be able to nt them now.


    They also did some calctions and realized the rapeseed would bloom during spring. Then they could harvest them and use thend to nt crops.


    Nheless, theirnd was vacant since the autumn harvest had passed. Now, they could nt their rapeseed. It was equivalent to having double the amount ofnd, and their rapeseed yield would be high.


    They could also sell rapeseed oil if they could not finish it. After all, oil was costly, so they should make a decent living with it. Then their days would improve.


    Everyone looked at Su Binn and felt like she was glowing. It was as if a goddess had descended to the mortal world to help them.


    “nting during winter and harvesting in spring is efficientnd use. That means we can now nt rapeseed on our vacantnd.”


    Everyone hurriedly changed their minds about their orders. “Miss Su, I’d like to buy five pounds of rapeseed since my family has five acres ofnd.” “I changed my mind, Miss Su. I’m buying two pounds instead of one.” “Thank you, Miss Su. We wouldn’t have known that if you didn’t tell us.”


    “Thank goodness I went to get oil that day. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met your mother and learned about such a thing as rapeseed..”
