Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 113 Alfalfa

Xia Shiyu looked up and saw a beautiful scene.

On the vast land of the farm, large tracts of pasture grow, and before your eyes are patches of green grass. When the wind blows, it seems to stir up a green wave.

Scattered among the grass are small purple flowers, dotting the landscape like stars, densely covering the lush green grass. The butterfly-wing-shaped petals gather one by one above the grass, slightly open, adding a unique color to this green expanse.

This is alfalfa, which blooms vibrantly in clusters, creating a dreamlike sea of ​​flowers.

Xia Shiyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "It's so beautiful! It gives off a very romantic feeling."

Xiao Zi was very happy to hear this, "I also think it's beautiful, I'm glad you like it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyu glanced at Xiao Zi and noticed her purple eyes, and suddenly had a guess.

"Little Purple, is your true form alfalfa?"

Little Purple happily picked a purple alfalfa and sat on it. "Yes, yes, I was born from a purple alfalfa. It's just a pity that it's good enough that a single purple alfalfa can produce one plant spirit, so I'm the only one here. The other plant spirits aren't here today."

Xia Shiyu still found it very strange, "Alfalfa that can produce elves must be very effective as pasture."

Alfalfa is known as the "king of forage" and is rich in nutrients such as protein, various vitamins and minerals. It also has a strong regenerative ability and a good taste, making it an excellent feed source for livestock. In addition to being used as forage, it also has other uses such as green manure and cough relief.

However, Xia Shiyu decided to put those concerns aside for the time being. The most important thing about pasture was its effect on chickens and ducks.

Xiao Zi nodded. "The hay we grow on our farm is top-notch. Many animals love to eat it, and the chickens and ducks you're going to feed will probably love it too."

Xia Shiyu nodded, feeling happy just thinking about these things.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Zi started issuing tasks, "You can use the harvesting machines here to harvest the alfalfa first."

"Okay," Xia Shiyu nodded and deftly got on the machine to start operating it. Fortunately, she had already learned how to operate this type of machine in the Corn Kingdom, and it was even simpler than in reality.

Xia Shiyu nimbly got into the vehicle and started operating it. As soon as the machine was started, the blades in front of the vehicle cut alternately, and the alfalfa fell neatly to the ground in large patches.

Patches of purple flowers are also hidden among them, creating a beautiful pastoral scene.

The alfalfa field was quite large, but it was harvested exceptionally quickly by machine, and was completely harvested in less than an hour.

After Xia Shiyu finished harvesting, Xiao Zi fluttered its wings and looked around, adding some light to a few purple flowers, and used a spell to gather these little flowers from a distance.

"These flowers are of excellent quality, and would be great for both raising elves and as fertilizer. Please send them to the breeding room."

Xia Shiyu gently held the transparent bubble in her hand; inside the bubble were the collected purple flowers.

"Okay," Xia Shiyu hugged the bubble in her hand and followed Xiao Zi forward. When they got closer, they saw a beautiful house. The house was shaped like a flower. As she walked forward, the petals moved gently and the room opened.

Xia Shiyu followed them into the beautiful room. As soon as the door opened, the room was filled with petri dishes shaped like small flower petals. The petals were open, and inside were some beautiful purple flowers.

After flying around once, Xiao Zi said to her, "Put these flowers in, and then add the culture medium according to the list over there."

Xia Shiyu was quite surprised. She thought that since Xiao Zi could use magic, the way these flowers were cultivated must be very fantastical. She didn't expect it to be so scientific and even require a culture solution.

Little Purple saw through her thoughts and flew around saying, "I'm just a little elf, I don't know many spells, and besides watching the daily harvest, I also have to nurture them, which takes a lot of magic power. Only great fairies can do this, I can't do it for now."

"I see," Xia Shiyu nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Okay, I understand."

After learning about it, she started adding the nutrient solution. The amount of nutrient solution added varied depending on the size, color, and number of petals of each flower, so Xia Shiyu needed to observe it carefully.

She only dared to pour the culture medium after carefully observing the patient. After pouring it, she carefully checked for any adverse reactions. Once she found no adverse reactions, she felt relieved.

After all the culture medium has been added, Xia Shiyu still needs to take out those that are not suitable and pour them into the nutrient tank to serve as nutrients.

After this quick and efficient process, the flowers were almost all taken care of, and we could now relax and wait for them to continue growing.

Xia Shiyu turned to Xiao Zi, "Xiao Zi, my task is complete. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Xiao Zi looked around and found that Xia Shiyu had done a very meticulous job with almost no mistakes. She nodded happily.

"There's no problem. Shi Yu, you did an excellent job. There's nothing left to do."

Xia Shiyu was very happy to hear this, thinking that was good.

Another white ball of light appeared in Xiao Zi's hand. After the ball of light disappeared, a large bag of seeds appeared in her hand. "Here, these are alfalfa seeds. You can take these seeds to plant pasture. This is alfalfa that I have carefully cultivated. Most herbivores like it very much."

Xia Shiyu excitedly accepted it, "Thank you so much, Xiao Zi, this is very helpful to me."

Xiao Zi waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, "Take it if it helps, it's what you deserve."

"Okay," Xia Shiyu patted Xiao Zi's head one last time. She didn't resist and even took her hand and kissed it.

"Goodbye, and welcome back next time." Little Purple waved to her cheerfully.

"Okay, see you next time." Xia Shiyu also extended his hand to say goodbye to Xiao Zi.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Zi, Xia Shiyu returned to her newbie house. She needed to quickly plant the pasture so that the chickens and ducks could have their last few meals before the New Year.

Xia Shiyu immediately got to work. Pasture grass is relatively easy to plant, so she simply scattered the whole bag of seeds on the ground, covered them with a little soil, and sprinkled some water.

The land in the beginner's room doesn't need fertilizer; the soil from the fairy tale world is the best nourishment, and according to the system, it's one of the best. So, Xia Shiyu only needs to plant the seeds and buy the necessary supplies to complete the task.

The growth cycle of this batch of alfalfa is about six months. In the real world, if you plant it now, you can see it grow in the second half of next year. It's just a pity that the chickens and ducks will have already left the coop by then.

So Xia Shiyu needs to hurry up and plant the pasture grass. Relying on the acceleration of the fairy tale world, time will pass quickly and the pasture grass will be planted to feed the chickens and ducks.

New Year approached.
