Chapter 247 May everything go smoothly, may wealth and treasures flow in, may your fortune be abunda
Qiao Manman's mind went blank for a long time before she finally managed to stammer out, "That was really something!"
"Haha, everyone thinks Commander He is a talented person!"
Qiao Manman took a deep breath: "Then, can fertility pills really be used on animals? I mean, on livestock!"
"It is possible, but... it doesn't quite align with the original purpose of all of us coming into this world. Well... it's not exactly contradictory, it's just that we need to settle the human souls before we can consider the animals!"
Qiao Manman asked, "Won't the soul brought by the fertility pill be harmful to this world?"
"No! The system can guarantee that all those who are reincarnated into this plane are of pure and good character. Those who are utterly wicked will be annihilated by the laws of Heaven and will not be reincarnated."
Qiao Manman thought of the two children Chen Xiaoxia lost and nodded: "Sending away children isn't enough. Nowadays, most people are barely able to fill their stomachs. If there are many children and little food, they probably won't grow up!"
Qiao Manman suddenly realized the significance of the daily check-in and the system shop. In addition to making things easier for her, they also brought some benefits to this world.
Spiritual flowers and herbs, mutated plants, science and technology... any one of these would be highly sought after.
Qiao Manman thought that they could find an opportunity to take some out for scientists to study.
With their intelligence and wisdom, we believe they can double grain production, improve production efficiency, and ensure that everyone lives in peace and contentment, and every family enjoys happiness and prosperity.
"Host, your idea is good, but be careful to exercise restraint!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "I will think it over carefully!"
After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Everyone, sign in!"
"Congratulations, host! You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, two fertility pills, a modern breeding farm, and fully automated slaughtering equipment!"
Qiao Manman's eyes lit up. She used her consciousness to grab a chicken and put it into the slaughtering equipment. A moment later, she got a plucked and gutted chicken.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Qiao Manman exclaimed, then washed the chicken and put it in a pressure cooker to stew.
They also prepared chicken soup with cordyceps flowers, goji berries, shiitake mushrooms, deer antler mushrooms, Agaricus blazei mushrooms, and red dates.
That evening, while enjoying a delicious meal with Lu Yuan, he said shyly, "Commander He tried it, and the fertility pills really do work!"
Qiao Manman deliberately asked, "Oh? My sister-in-law got pregnant after taking the fertility pills?"
Lu Yuan touched his nose: "Brigade Commander He was afraid something would happen, so he fed it to the old sow and the military dog that was about to retire in the unit."
The sow, the vet said, was no longer able to have piglets, but the pig farmer couldn't bear to slaughter her and kept her until now. Who would have thought that she would actually get pregnant?
The military dogs were the same; their bellies were all swollen.
Qiao Manman smirked, "He's quite the schemer!"
"Brigade Commander He asked me to ask you if you could get more fertility pills for the farm. That way, everyone can have a better share of the profits at the end of the year."
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "Sure, but the question is, can the farm afford to raise so many piglets? Is there enough pig feed, enough feed, and enough manpower?"
Besides, these pills have a cost; how much funding is Commander He planning to approve?
Lu Yuan pulled the man into his arms: "I know, that's why I refused. I even said he was wasting a good thing, giving a fertility pill worth a hundred yuan to pigs and dogs. He regretted it so much, clutching his chest and saying it hurt!"
Qiao Manman couldn't help but laugh, and then she heard Lu Yuan say, "So, he's planning to ask a few families that are relatively well-off tomorrow. If they're willing to give it a try, they can get the medicine from you. If they think it's unreliable, then forget it, we won't force them!"
"Sure! Good wine needs no bush, and good medicine needs no price. As long as it works, they'll sell their possessions to take it! If there are many people who need it, a discount is not out of the question!"
As he spoke, he handed Lu Yuan a porcelain bottle: "Inside are twenty fertility pills. Give them to Commander He and ask him to help us sell them."
I offered him 75 yuan a piece. Whether he sold it for 75 yuan or 80 yuan a piece, I didn't care. I also didn't care whether the price difference went into his own pocket or went to the team as military expenses.
I just hope these pills won't cause any trouble and will truly benefit humanity!
"Wife, I thank you on behalf of Commander He!"
Qiao Manman ruffled his hair and found it to be shiny black and had grown longer. The scabs hidden in his hair had long since fallen off, and the newly grown skin was covered with black downy hair; he wasn't bald.
As if encouraged, Lu Yuan begged for kisses and hugs, acting all cute and affectionate, and finally got his hands on the bone.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, snow fell from the sky. There were no lanterns in the family compound, nor in the town. The performing arts troupe was away performing in other places, so everyone could only celebrate with a bonfire.
Qiao Manman didn't join in the fun; she stayed home and cooked glutinous rice balls.
"This little orange persimmon symbolizes 'May all your wishes come true.' This little golden ingot symbolizes 'May wealth and treasures flow in.' Wishing us all the best and abundant wealth in the new year!"
Lu Yuan felt that his wife was both capable and talented, and that he must have accumulated a lot of good fortune in his past lives to marry such a fairy-like woman.
He looked at the white glutinous rice balls and the yellow millet balls next to him and asked, "Where are these two?"
Qiao Manman thought for a moment: "Wear gold!"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "It's a pity that wealth and status aren't fashionable these days, otherwise..."
Qiao Manman took out two bracelets, one gold and one silver, and put them on her wrists: "You can wear them for fun in private!"
The shimmering metallic openwork bracelet accentuated the slender, fair skin of her wrist. Lu Yuan's gaze deepened, and he stirred the pot with a spoon.
The glutinous rice balls rolled around in the water. After a few minutes, Lu Yuan took the pot off the stove and served himself and his wife a bowl each.
Let it cool slightly, then scoop it up and try it. The black sesame seeds are delicate and sweet, and the crushed peanuts are crunchy and chewy—it's truly addictive.
However, this stuff is easy to cause indigestion, so the two of them only tasted it a little before putting down their spoons.
Qiao Manman took out her tablet, intending to watch the Lantern Festival Gala with Lu Yuan, but he refused.
He said that entertainment easily erodes willpower, and he was afraid that if he became too addicted, he wouldn't want to work hard.
Qiao Manman thought it made sense, so she bought some military-related materials from the system store, saved them to her tablet, and let Lu Yuan read them by himself.
To my surprise, I became so engrossed in watching that I didn't even want to sleep.
Qiao Manman, unable to bear it any longer, put the tablet away, and Lu Yuan went to wash up, still feeling unsatisfied.
When I got back, I wanted to have some fun, but I found that my wife was already asleep.
Lu Yuan sighed and went to sleep obediently. Unbeknownst to him, Qiao Manman's consciousness was wandering through the space.
Look at those mountains, so lush and verdant. Look at that water, flowing swiftly down.
Look at those fruits, so fragrant and abundant. Look at that building, so grand and imposing.
Ah, what a wonderful space! She hasn't been here to play in so long, she feels like crying!
Oh, heroine, when are you going out for a stroll so I can take a bath?
Meng Peiyu, who was not far away, sneezed twice in a row. Chen Junyan immediately asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold?"
"No, my nose is just a little itchy. Ah Yan, let's continue and try to get pregnant this time!"
