Now that Qing’an Province waspart of the Cheng’s property, naturally Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t just sit idlyby. These were now the responsibilities of the Cheng’s.
Zhou Jinjiang thought about the same issue as well. He noddedimmediately and said, “Okay, Xiao Xiao, I will make the arrangementsimmediately. This is no joking matter!”
The lead manager Zhou Jinjiang hurried away.
Old Man Ying returned after delivering the pesticides shortly and smiled,“Miss, you are so smart. We ran out already!”
“Okay, less talking. Hurry up and transport the second load!” Cheng XiaoXiao didn’t want to keep chatting away.
“Yes, Miss!”
After that, the Cheng’s gotbusier and busier with the matters. Sure enough, they have found out thatWillows was not the only place plagued with the infestation of the strangebugs. Infestations were also discovered at a few other locations. This was no smallfeat and the Cheng’s were swamped.
Luckily, the Cheng’s could provide a stream of unlimited supply of thepesticides. The most important thing was that these pesticides werefast-acting. As soon as they were applied, all the bugs were wiped out in oneswoop with not one left.
The bug infestation in Qing’an Province had the Cheng’s jumping aroundfor three whole days before they were able to protect all the seedlings in theentire Qing’an Province.
The Cheng’s reputation spread within the entire Qing’an Province.Everybody in the province realized that Count Zhongyuan was the true owner ofthe province and grateful words came from all over.
Villagers nearby even came to their house and brought with them eggs,rice, or preserved meat and the like to show their grat.i.tude towards them.
Even though they Cheng’s had no use of the items that they have brought,but they have accepted them all. In addition, every visitors had also receivedgifts from the Cheng’s in return – roosters, rabbits, ducks, etc.
Since these were items from the Cheng’s, all cultivators know that thesewere mystical animals. In order to protect these peasants, Cheng Xiao Xiao gaveOld Man Ying another a.s.signment – to follow the peasants to protect them. Ifanyone wants to buy from them, that is fine; if anyone wants to rob or stealfrom them, then he could do with them as he pleases.
Old Man Ying happily accepted the a.s.signment and left. Cheng Xiao Xiaohad awarded him a bottle of mystical water from the dimension, he would behappy for a few more a.s.signments like this.
Days always flew by when one is busy. A good part of a month had gone bywithout anyone noticing.
Today, Zhou Jinjiang found Cheng Xiao Xiao who were plant some flowerseedlings.
“Uncle Zhou, to what do I owe this pleasure?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiaocasually. She was digging a hole and didn’t even bother looking up.
Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t help but laughed when he saw how busy she was,“Xiao Xiao, you do need to plant the flowers yourself? Why don’t you have some servantsdo it for you. Even if they don’t know how, you can always give them guidance.”
“It’s alright. I want to do it myself. What else am I doing with my timeanyway? I am just trying to keep myself busy!”
Other than cultivating everyday, she has been spending the rest of hertime chatting with her gardening and chatting with her brothers and sisters.And that made up of most of her days.
“Okay, whatever float your boat….” Zhou Jinjiang was fully aware that hewould never be able to talk her out of anything so he broached his subject withher directly, “Xiao Xiao, the auction is only two weeks away. You want to letme know what you have in mind for the podium so I can get the guys started onthat?”
“However you like. All I need is to say a few words and arrange for themto make the exchange with our people,” Cheng Xiao Xiao never thought of that asa big deal. The podium just have to have some tables and chairs on it, the restdid not matter at all.
