Chapter 250 The Other Side

"What's wrong? Is the price I paid much more?"

Looking at Hackett's hesitant expression, Jiang Liu turned around and asked. He remembered that the price of grass seeds written on the door was 10 gold coins per bag.

Except for his store, no one sells grass and grass seeds, and naturally there is no such thing as shopping around.

"No, the price is very normal. But there are nearly 50 acres of grass here... Is it a bit too much?"

Hackett looked at the bag in Jiang Liu's hand. 50 acres of land, how many people would be needed to plant it.

"I don't have the habit of bargaining. After confirming something, the superiors will approve the funds for us. What we have to do is to use the appropriate funds to complete the set goals."

Jiang Liu shook his head. There was no currency circulation in the territory at all. Everything followed the resource rationing system.

He received a lot of training on currency before leaving to deal with various possible situations.

"Fifty acres is a very large number, which should be barely enough for the first cycle of sowing."

The officer weighed the five bags of seeds in his hand, which were like fine quicksand flowing in them. With a slight shake, a pleasant rustling sound came out.

Fifty acres of grass seeds felt like sand in his hand, but after sowing and spreading, they could occupy a large field.

I don't know how much grass and grass seeds the territory can produce in each cycle after sowing these grasses. The growth cycle of grass should be very short, right?

Thirty acres in the territory, ten acres at the Sky Island outpost.

He even felt that compared with the pilot planting of a hundred acres often mentioned in the territory's bulletin board...it was a bit too little.

However, he also purchased more than ten acres of tree seeds, or saplings that had already sprouted and survived. In order to stack these tree species, he even bought storage racks to put the tree species on.

If they were spread out on the ground, these different tree species might leave them with nowhere to stay.

A tree species that can produce fruits containing a lot of starch, a crisp and sweet tree species similar to apples, and a berry tree species that can produce a lot of sweet and sour berries.

Starch-producing trees are used to supply food for the camp on the super-large sky island, while the latter two are used to make up for the lack of fruit trees in the territory - providing after-meal fruits can greatly improve the happiness of the people in the territory, and having meat in every meal can greatly improve the happiness of the people in the territory.

Before the lord set out, he focused on finding plants that can be pressed for oil, but he didn't find any here. The oil used here is finished oil transported from the other end through the portal. However, the current edible oil in the territory can barely cope with the oil extracted from the body of sea fish, but it is not as fragrant as animal oil.

I don't know how the lord will solve the problem of oil-producing plants.

Jiang Liu weighed the money. After such a large purchase, the budget was still quite sufficient... After all, what they bought were not particularly expensive products, and the price fluctuations and premiums of the products were limited.

And the officers were trained not to touch the really expensive consumption.

So the ship was soon full.

Full of seeds and saplings.

‘To my dear’

‘The exploration of the two sky islands of At and Laner was completed smoothly. The local governor did not make things difficult for you, my teacher, because I helped him find a few rare resource veins. I have successfully depicted the terrain and outlines of these two sky islands, and compared them with all the large sky islands that have been recorded...’

‘I have some very wonderful discoveries. I will reply to you after I complete the exploration of the third sky island. ’

‘If I can't come back, don't worry. ’

Scholar sister Aina sat on a chair, silently reading the words, letting the wind from the sky island pass through and blow on her cheeks. She opened her pocket watch, which was a photo of two generations of geologists, one old and one young. She hadn't seen her teacher for a month.

This was the last letter her teacher sent her three months ago. At the end of the letter, a map that had been explored was also attached. This exquisite map drawn by geologists can play a considerable value no matter who has it.

The map has the locations of all the sky islands except the airspace near the No. 3 sky island, and even their possible cyclic drift trajectories are clearly depicted.

After that, there was no news.

So Aina came with all her savings, even if her teacher was... No, she must not be dead.

She also wanted to ask what her teacher's discovery was.

Eleven hundred gold coins were all she had saved, and they could buy a very good frigate-class ship instead of the cheapest barrel.

She must still be waiting for me somewhere on that sky island, waiting for me to help her complete the work.

It was just that I couldn't get back through the abyss without an airship.
