Chapter 80 - 080. Trial planting of wood ear mushrooms (recommended 3000+)
Of course, for Shuzhen, this is just routine, without a hint of difficulty.
Just by standing in front of the corn and silently activating her superpower, the corn cobs, already filling with grain and about to mature, turned yellow and hard at a speed visible to the naked eye, advancing from tender white to golden. Maturing twenty days early was no problem at all.
With the thought that more grain meant more food security, Shuzhen also quietly used her powers to make these corn cobs a bit larger and thicker. The small seeds at the tip, which typically didn’t grow, matured fully, while the secondary cobs, which usually had seeds growing on only one side or didn’t grow seeds at all, were made robust and full with her help.
Not a small amount, in the front and back gardens, a quarter acre of land was worked up by her to yield at least an extra two hundred pounds of corn kernels.
Shuzhen was delighted: No wonder the novel Yanzi read to her had protagonists always brimming with superpowers and feeling like they owned the world. Golden fingers, they’re just too overpowered, aren’t they?
If she weren’t afraid her husband would get suspicious, she wouldn’t have hesitated to do more. Shuzhen felt that with just a little more effort, she could create miracles of high yield without any pressure.
Instead of now having to precisely control her power on the corn cobs, fearing the corn stalks would grow too tall and turn yellow too quickly, making the gap with the previous situation too suspicious.
Buzzing with excitement after ripening all the corn, Shuzhen turned her attention to the mushrooms and wood ear fungus in the basket, flipping them upside down.
Once she was done, she directed her efforts at the beans, cowpeas, and pumpkins in the garden.
Looking to produce more fresh beans, cowpeas, and pumpkins to eat fresh and dry.
So that in the winter when it’s freezing and barren, with only cabbage, sauerkraut, and potatoes to chew on, there will be plenty of dried vegetables for a change of taste.
