"Esteemed sir, we all came voluntarily to assist you," the villagers of Zhao Jia Village waved their hands. "Moreover, you have already done so much for us; if we were to ask for more gifts from you, that would be too ungrateful."
Yun Yi smiled and replied, "I completely understand your feelings. However, these grilled fish are not rare treasures; you can take them home as provisions."
For him, grilled fish were commonplace, easily caught in numbers throughout the day. Each fish could provide about three days' worth of sustenance. In reality, each unit of satiety could sustain normal consumption for approximately three hours. By this calculation, a day's catch would allow him to enjoy delicious meals without worry for years to come.
Moreover, excess fish would take up storage space even if left uneaten. Thus, he decided to distribute the surplus grilled fish as small rewards to the villagers, turning waste into treasure while also winning their goodwill.
Seeing Yun Yi's determined expression, the villagers no longer declined and nodded in acceptance of his gift. However, despite their verbal insistence on not wanting any reward, once the fish were truly in hand, smiles of uncontainable joy spread across their faces.
These were not just ordinary fish; they were delicious and nourishing, akin to Ginseng of the Year, capable of enriching one's vitality. In the past, most of the delectable treats Yun Yi had distributed to the villagers had gone uneaten as they couldn't bear to consume them.
Instead, they carefully stored it away for times of urgent need. In Zhao Family Village and Xinghua Village, such divine items that could increase the threshold of hunger were valued far beyond gold and silver. If one were to exchange this kind of food for ordinary provisions, a single portion of divine food could be traded for at least ten portions of regular food. It is important to note that this was during a year of great hardship, just before the autumn harvest, and both Zhao Family Village and Xinghua Village were not well-stocked with grain.
However, Zhao An, Zhu Ji, and Xiahou Xing publicly promised that they would buy any amount of divine food without limit and exchange it at ten times the price. This clearly demonstrated its immense value. Yet the villagers were not foolish; if their food supplies were not critically low, they would never part with the divine food. They preferred to keep what they had, as these divine provisions were a precious safeguard for their lives in times of danger.
Afterward, the other fourteen villagers returned home happily, each carrying ten-pound bags of Cooked Fish. Zhao Niang also skipped home with her spoils, intending to hand them over to her father, Zhao Shan, for safekeeping. Yun Yi stood alone in the yard, gazing thoughtfully at the carrots growing at the foot of the mountain. Although the fruits harvested by ordinary people were just common carrots, as long as he was the one planting them, they would be anything but ordinary.
He could quickly expand to cultivate more of these carrots over a thousand square meters of land. With the increasing number of refugees accepted into Zhao Family Village, this would become an important source of food. The demand for grain was bound to rise, making it urgent to expand agricultural production without delay.
However, this raised the question of where the carrots should be planted. In response, Yun Yi proposed three alternative options.
First, he considered looking for a piece of cleared land around Zhao Family Village and transforming the area through excavation and reclamation before proceeding with planting. At first glance, this method seemed feasible.
However, there were significant limitations in practice: most of the land surrounding Zhao Family Village had been converted into farmland by the residents, making it difficult to find a suitable development area, which often lay far away. Given the rapid growth characteristics of crops in "My World," this choice would require him to frequently travel back and forth between the planting site and his residence. As the planting area expanded, this would become an even greater burden.
