<h4>Chapter 27 - 50,000 Catty per Day</h4>


    While Zhao was distressed about the weapons, a voice suddenly popped up: [Corn has matured. Please harvest as soon as possible]


    Zhao was surprised, but then he looked at Meirin. "Grandma Meirin, the corn I nted has matured. Do you want toe with me into the space?" Even though Meirin had been in the spatial farm before, he was still respectful to her and wanted to ask her first instead of just taking her with him.


    Hearing what Zhao said, she nodded her head. "Yes Master, I want to go look at the space."


    With a thought, the two people appeared in the spatial farm.


    Because of the space, the radishes that he nted the morning before had grown small leaves, but the corn had already reached full maturity. The corn was very long and sturdy, while the cobs were big, around fifty centimeters, with kernels bursting at the seams, exposing their golden color.


    Meirin had never seen corn before and was curious because she didn''t know what to do with it.


    Zhao walked towards the corn and broke off one of the big cobs. With the outer green leaves lowered, the golden corn was exposed, revealing big and full kernels. The amount that was produced was not low, and if he calcted the yield, then there would be fifty thousand catty of corn here.


    Zhao handed the corn cob to Meirin and smiled. "Grandma Meirin, you see, as long as we process this corn, it can be used as food. Although it''s not the best tasting crop I could grow, it could still fill you up. These two acres are enough to produce fifty thousand catty per day, and if they made seeds, then we could use them to nt a thousand acres ofnd. So we do not need to worry about food."


    Taking the corn from him, Meirin''s eyes bulged out. "Master, are you telling me that everyday we could get fifty thousand catty worth of food?"


    With a smile, Zhao nodded. He knew that Meirin thought that a one lump sum of fifty thousand catty worth of food for more than a hundred people probably wasn''t that much, but fifty thousand catty per day, that figure was a little scary. Also, although Zhao didn''t mention it, in this space the corn would only need fourteen hours or so to mature, so it would actually take less than a day.


    Meirin kept whispering, "Fifty thousand catty per day, fifty thousand catty per day…"


    Zhaoughed. "Grandma Meirin, I told you that this corn stuff is not very good. I''ll eventually start nting other crops, but this is only the transitional period, so this will have to do for now."


    Meirin quickly recovered, and said. "No, Master, do not nt anything else. With such a high yield food, we do not need to nt anything else." She was so excited that she was almost incoherent.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not nting anything else yet. But Grandma Meirin, you do not need to get so excited about this kind of thing. There are many foods that are high yield, although not as much as corn, they are still good."


    Meirin heard what Zhao said and nodded her head. "That''s good, Master. But how do we harvest this food? We''re going to need a lot of helping hands."


    Zhao slightly chuckled. "It''s nothing I can''t handle if I count on this space." Then he shouted, "Harvest the corn. Separate the stalks, then separate the kernels from the cobs." He wanted to see if the spatial farm would find it eptable when he issued such aplicatedmand. If hismand was epted, then he could be sure that the space would fully listen to him.


    Meirin had a puzzled look on her face as she stared at Zhao. She did not know who he was talking to, but then what happened in the space left her stunned. A basket flew up into the air and the corn started to fly into the basket.


    Before Meirin could react, Zhao immediately walked to the front of the barn. He touched the barn doors, and after he got a prompt, he loosened his breath andughed.


    "Master, what are youughing about? And how did you do that?" she asked while pointing at the clearednd.


    Zhao smiled. "Nothing, Grandma Meirin. I didn''t tell you yet, but I can control anything in this space. Whether it''s farming or harvesting, I don''t need to worry about it."


    "That''s great, Master." Meirin looked excited. "Now what do you n to nt next?"


    This was the moment of truth, so Zhao was very careful. With just a thought, a handful of corn kernels appeared in his hands.


    When the corn came out, a tone chimed and the voice said: [Corn. Excellent quality. Can be used as seeds. Can be brought out of the space]


    Zhao looked happy as he said, "Sow the corn." After his voice faded, a small shovel flew out to start plowing, then one by one, seeds appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground, while a bucket started watering everything.


    Meirin looked stunned. She really did not think that Zhao''s space could be so magical. This ability, let alone seen, she had never even heard of it before. She was very happy because this magical space would give the Buda n a meteoric rise.


    Soon the two acres ofnd were rented. Afterwards, Zhao went to look at the radishes. There have not yet been any insects like in the farm game he used to y. Seeing as there were no problems with the radishes, Zhao stood up turned to Meirin. "Let''s go out, Grandma Meirin."


    Meirin nodded, and with just a thought, Zhao brought the two of them back into the living room of the castle.


    Looking outside, Zhao figured that they hadn''t been inside the space for very long. He then turned to Meirin while holding corn stalks and corn cobs in his hands, which he had brought out before they left the space. "Grandma Meirin, with these, we don''t need to worry about firewood."


    Meirin quickly nodded. "Okay Master,e with me. We''ll put these right there in the kitchen."


    Zhao shook his head. "No, Grandma Meirin. They need to be dried in the sun first, otherwise they would still have some moisture. We have topletely dry them after we take them from the barn."


    "Well, then let''s put them outside. The castle has plenty of empty spaces."


    Zhao followed Meirin outside.


    Looking at the corn stalks and corn cobs on the ground, Zhao said, "After drying the stalks, Grandma Meirin, you can burn these for cooking. And if the ves are cold at night, you can burn these to keep them warm."


    Meirin looked at the two piles of firewood, her face full of smiles. Now she finally didn''t have to worry about finding something to use as firewood. "Yes, Master. I''ll deal with this matter with the ves."


    Zhao nodded, then he looked at the sky. "It''s notte yet, Grandma Meirin. Let''s call Meg in for lunch. And after lunch, we''ll arrange for someone to get some stones. Unfortunately, we don''t have a cksmith, otherwise we might have been able to make some iron weapons out of the suppplies."


    The number of ves with skills were small, and those with cksmith skills were even less. ve owners were afraid of ves learning cksmith skills because then they would know how to build weapons, so no one gave ves ess to that knowledge. If you ever encounter a ve that knows cksmith skills, then he was probably a cksmith thatter became a ve.


    After the two went back inside the castle, Meirin went to prepare lunch, while Zhao sat in the hall, quietly thinking about things.


    Right now they were facing a huge crisis. If those undead spirit beasts really dide out of the carrion swamp, then what means did they have to stop it? If they came out, not only would this trouble his farming ns, but also his future ns for aquaculture. He had to think of some way to resolve this problem.


    But how could he solve it? For many years, not one expert in the Continent had survived the forbidden carrion swamp.


    Zhao was unable to think of anything.
