As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 790 Big Sale
A sizzling sound filled the air, like insects being roasted.

"Buzz..."

However, this was just the beginning. Next, the spirit-devouring locusts flew over the spirit field in an endless stream until, after half an hour, only a few pests flew over. Hu Jiao blew out the lamp with a triumphant air and raised her eyebrows at the surprised farmers with a smug look. "See? I didn't lie to you!"

The group carefully parted the leaves of the fairy herb and found that the locusts that had been everywhere before had disappeared, and there was no longer the annoying sound of the locusts eating the grass leaves.

Suddenly, everyone burst into tears of joy, "Thank God! Finally, there's something to cure these locusts!"

“Our magical product is far superior to Da Ce’s insecticide! As you can see, we don’t need to spray pesticides on the farmland. We just need to attract the pests here and eliminate them from the outside. Do you know what that means?”

Before anyone could answer, Hu Jiao said crisply, "This means our immortal herbs don't need to be contaminated with poison, they're harmless to the human body, and we can sell them to the public!"

The farmers were overjoyed.

Recently, due to the impact of pests, chambers of commerce from other places have refused to purchase the spiritual herbs from the land of Leiguang.

Even after the acquisition, the price was kept being pushed down.

Because of the pest infestation, farmers have to spend a lot of money to buy pesticides, which increases the cost of planting. However, the selling price has dropped, and more than half of the spiritual plants cannot be sold. Tell me, which farmer can bear this?

The group was initially delighted, but then their hearts sank. They cautiously asked Hu Jiao, "How much does your insect-repelling lamp cost?"

Hu Jiao held up two fingers, startling everyone. "Twenty spirit crystals?! Isn't this robbery?!"

"No, no, no, no." Hu Jiao mysteriously shook her finger, "I don't want twenty spirit crystals, just two!!"

"What?! Only two spirit crystals?!"

"What?! The effect lasts for a month! And all you need to do is change the lamp oil?!"

"What?! Limited stock?! Don't try to take it from me, I, I, I need twenty insect-repellent lamps!!!"

"What? Just one lamp is enough? And you only need to change the herbal pills and lamp oil every month? That's incredibly generous!! Okay! Give me thirty herbal pills and a pot of lamp oil!!!"

"..."

"Our village needs 50,000 Qingxiao insect-repelling herbs!!!"

"..."

……

"Bang!!"

"My benefactor, do you have any more Azure Cloud Grass Pills? My Jiyuan Oil Lamp Shop wants to order another batch, this time 100,000 pills!"

Hu Jiao suddenly rushed to the stalls of Tu Shi and the others, and said excitedly.

At this moment, Tu Shi was packing up his things on the table, preparing to go home. Hu Jiao calmed down a bit and asked curiously, "It's still early, not even noon yet, and you're already packing up to go home?"

Rabbit Stone nodded, saying apologetically, "Manager Hu, you're too late. Our last batch of insect repellent pills was snapped up by Manager Tian from East Street." "That damned old man from East Street, so fast!" Hu Jiao exclaimed, as if struck by lightning, and quickly said to Rabbit Stone, "This can't be! I promised my customers that we'd have new Qingxiao insect repellent pills soon. I can't break my promise!"

After partnering with Rabbit Stone, Hu Jiao discovered that she could make even more money than when she sold oil lamps. She could sell the Azure Cloud Grass Lamp, which cost one spirit crystal, together with her own oil lamps, and after deducting costs, she could earn a full 99 spirit crystals. Who wouldn't be crazy about such a profit?

Lei Guang's pest infestation might subside at any time, so she had to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune as soon as possible!
"Alright, one spirit crystal for fifty essence crystals! I can raise the price to one spirit crystal for fifty essence crystals for one herb pill! You guys figure out how to get me another batch!"

Tu Shi and Li Qinqing exchanged a glance, their expressions showing helplessness.

Rabbit Stone said, "This is also our first time in Dayuan. We are not sure if Qingxiao Grass Pills will sell well in the Leiguang area, so the production we have transported is limited. However, we have already mentioned it to our superiors. In about a few days, hundreds of thousands of insect repellent grass pills will be transported to Dayuan. If you can wait a few more days, we will give you priority in supplying you with the next batch of insect repellent grass pills."

"A few more days!" Hu Jiao sighed. "Alright, Tu Shi, you'd better save it for me!"

Tu Shi was Tu Shi's alias. He nodded and watched Hu Jiao leave, turning back to look at him every few steps.

As Li Qinqing and the others packed up their stall, they exclaimed, "A month ago, who could have imagined that the Azure Cloud Grass Pill would be in such high demand? Rabbit Stone, you're really quick-witted. How did you come up with the idea of ​​cooperating with the oil lamp shop owner in Green Cave City?"

In fact, they also brought some oil lamps and insect repellent pills to sell, since the insect repellent pills could only be most effective when used with oil lamps.

However, after Rabbit Stone and Hu Jiao, the owners of the lamp oil shops, cooperated, they immediately decided to stop selling oil lamps and sold the oil lamps and lamp oil to the shopkeepers in Green Cave City at a low price.

"I couldn't go to the rural areas below Green Cave City to promote it, but by chance I noticed that the lamp oil business in Green Cave City wasn't doing too well..."

Rabbit Stone touched his neck and found a spatial ring hanging under his clothes. All the spirit crystals he had earned from buying and selling Azure Cloud Grass Pills were in there, totaling 150,000 spirit crystals.

Before even going to the provincial capital of Dashu to promote, they secured 150,000 orders in just one Green Cave City in Dayuan, with the profits exceeding expectations.

……

While Qingxiao Insect Repellent Pills were selling like hotcakes, a tense atmosphere prevailed inside the Green Cave Insect Control Shop.

"What did you say? We spent millions of spirit crystals to acquire the Great Strategy Insect Extermination Powder, and only sold 10,000 doses?"

The vice president was furious. "What's going on?"

The servant, trembling with fear, answered, "It is said that a kind of insect-repelling oil lamp has appeared in the city. Not only is it effective at repelling insects, but it is also cheap, lasts a long time, and will not poison the medicinal herbs!"

"Our Pest Control Association was established by order of His Highness the Provincial Prince. Why don't they prioritize contacting our Pest Control Association when such a good insect repellent product appears?"

The vice president's face turned a deep shade of liver with anger. More than a million yuan was no small sum; if things continued this way, it would be stuck in his hands.

Yesterday, the bank manager gave himself a severe dressing-down and said he would take the matter to the King of Dayuan!
The deputy bank manager was furious. "Investigate! Find out what this insect-repelling oil lamp is all about! And while you're at it, contact the Da Ce caravan and ask them if they can return it."

……

Time passed slowly, and in less than a month, the miraculous insect-repelling oil lamp that controlled pests swept across the entire Leiguang area, helping many disaster-stricken farmlands to have a good harvest.

In the Leiguang area, more than half of the pesticides on the market have been replaced by insect repellent oil lamps, and the export business of Daze's insecticide powder has also been severely impacted.
