Chen Yanzhi laughed when he heard this and said: "I discovered it by accident. This black woolworm is really powerful. I thought your spiritual field may have been invaded, so I would like to remind you on the way."
She was careful and wanted to make sure the guess she just made was true.
The only people who could take her directly into the spiritual field without saying anything were Wei Suxuan and his wife.
It was their trust in her that helped them, but that didn't stop her from winning people's hearts.
Before leaving, he specifically told them not to tell anyone about the matter. The two of them naturally agreed and promised again and again.
After returning home from Jingjieju, Chen Yanzhi planted coriander trees around the house. The fragrance enveloped the three acres of spiritual land, giving her a sense of security.
"Now, the black cottonworm will definitely not dare to come close."
Walking to the courtyard dam, she casually sat at the stone table under the camphor tree. Chen Yanzhi touched the golden fragrant jade to clear her mind. She was thinking about how to deal with this black cotton pest.
It can be basically concluded that the black cotton insect plague is not an isolated case. It may also occur in other monks' spiritual fields, but it is not sure how many victims there are.
One question now is whether she should take care of it. First of all, Qin Mu's position is special. He will definitely tell the matter. Chen Yanzhi doesn't have to worry about business problems in the workshop. It's okay to ignore it.
But if she participates, she can win the favor of Cao Yingtang and Xu Xin.
After all, if the spiritual planter is seriously harmed, Wanxuan Sect's rent collection will also be affected, and the two of them will definitely bear responsibility.
When they were recruited to build roads, the monks would only work half a day in order not to affect the harvest.
Another one is that with Coriander, she can make a fortune openly, so she must take care of it.
The next day, Chen Yanzhi went out early and went to Broken Jade Residence where Qin Mu was.
Qin Mu was an insider and had to pull him into the car.
Broken Jade Residence is located northwest of Lingxi Residence, not far away. She rode a paper crane to get there, faster than she could run, and it took her a quarter of an hour to get there.
There is a pear forest here in Suiyuju. The pear blossoms are particularly beautiful when they are in full bloom. Now the flowers have just faded, leaving only white frost on the ground and a few small fruits hanging here and there.
Qin Mu was not surprised to see Chen Yanzhi. After inviting people to come in and take a seat, he spoke first, "Shopkeeper Chen, I went to the grave fields of several friends overnight to check, and found black cottonworms in all of them. Now it's basically OK." It’s definitely a widespread pest infestation.”
"I've been there too, and I've also found black woolworms, so we have to notify the town as soon as possible, but before that, we can make a fortune from it."
Qin Mu raised his head in surprise and covered the slightly upturned corners of his mouth with a tea cup. Shopkeeper Chen really knew how to do business. He could follow him and drink some soup.
"Of course I agree. To be honest, asking me to come up with a way to deal with the black cottonworm for free is really a bit unwilling."
"But the situation is such that I have to do it. If I can take the opportunity to collect a batch of coriander and buy it, it can be considered as compensation."
Chen Yanzhi said, "I have found all the corianders around the town, and now the only ones left are the six villages below."
"We only have two or three days to search the surroundings. If it takes too long, the spiritual plants will be sucked dry by the black cottonworms. Moreover, we must act in secret, otherwise it will cause disputes."
"Shopkeeper Chen's analysis is reasonable. I can find three people, all of whom I can trust."
Chen Yanzhi was not very satisfied. If he wanted to search through the wild lands and forests including the village, three people would definitely not be enough.
But now that the matter is urgent, this is the only way to make money.
"I can also find a few people."
After the two discussed the details, Chen Yanzhi said goodbye and left.
The people she was looking for were actually Li Yuan, Lin Zhen and Chu Yu, and she brought Awan with her.
Although Ah Wan has a somewhat out-of-touch character, he is a good person. The key is that he is poor and idle, and he is poor and has short ambitions. Even if he dislikes it, he will still go.
Monks usually go to work in the afternoon and stay at home in the morning. The spiritual planters can take care of the spiritual fields.
Chen Yanzhi called all these people together and asked them to search for coriander and buy ten plants for one broken spirit.
She revealed a little bit of news, for example, coriander will be very valuable soon, so let’s test it out.
Li Yuan knew the reason, but he actively moved closer to Chen Yanzhi. It would be great if he could drink some soup with him. His wife was still working for her.
What's more, without Chen Yanzhi taking the lead, he wouldn't be able to reap the benefits, and he would be very content.
Chu Yu and Lin Zhen naturally followed Chen Yanzhi's lead. They were both relatively honest in nature and didn't think too much about it. They just thought it was an unexpected surprise that the coriander they picked up could be sold for spiritual stones.
Now Awan is the only one left.
A-Wan crossed his arms with a look of displeasure on his face, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you all looking at me? Of course I have no objection either."
"The information provided by Shopkeeper Chen shows that we are all employed. How can I rebel? Is this an insult to my character?"
Chen Yanzhi reassured: "Of course not. I trust fellow Taoist Awan very much, otherwise I wouldn't tell you. I just want to confirm."
"Now that everyone agrees, let's sign the acquisition contract."
This is approved by the mayor's office, so you are prepared.
After reading the content, several people signed on it, leaving their spiritual mark, and the contract was completed.
In the next few days, everyone assigned tasks and began a busy search operation.
For this reason, Li Yuan, Lin Zhen and Chu Yu went to the road construction team to ask for leave, which they would make up for in the future.
There are six villages in Suihan Town, and Chen Yanzhi and Qin Mu are each responsible for three.
Chen Yanzhi specially divided the teams. Lin Zhen and A Wan searched Qinghe Village together, and Li Yuan went to Daoxiang Village with Chu Yu.
She herself went to Caoye Village, which was the furthest away from Suihan Town. She had the highest level of cultivation and spent less time traveling.
I rode the paper crane and ran all the way, and it took me an hour to finally reach the place. It was mid-afternoon, and most of the monks had responded to the call to build roads, so there were not many people in the village.
She hid her figure and did not enter the village. Instead, she walked in the surrounding fields and mountains. She expanded her consciousness to the maximum and explored.
The places we search are very common ones. We need to dig up all the large corianders that can be seen around us, so that other monks can't find them at the first time and then go to the store to buy them.
Maybe it was because of the climate in Grassleaf Village that it was relatively cool and suitable for the growth of coriander. She found a lot of them, pulled them all up and stuffed them into a storage bag.
Two days passed by in a flash, and Chen Yanzhi didn't even return home. She stayed here all day, looking for and pulling out coriander, and her whole body smelled like coriander.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yanzhi used the cleaning technique to wash her arms and hands that were stained yellow-green, and she was ready to go back with her fruitful storage bag.
There are still a few places that have not been searched, but tomorrow is the day that Qin Mu and I agreed to report to the mayor's mansion, so we can only give up temporarily.
She ate a lotus seed and drank a few sips of Yun Chun tea to relieve her groggy head and tired body, and she regained her energy.
I took out the paper crane and headed home in the cool night breeze.
