Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Chapter 609 Su Wanqing's eyes lit up instantly. Where was there an extreme shortage of food?

The system rewarded her with banana seeds, which she casually tossed into her spatial storage. With the spatial speed increased tenfold and the daily free upgrades stacked up, the bananas ripened in just one week. They tasted absolutely delicious, and she would save some for Wang Ling later.

People in this era had only heard of bananas, never of anything so big and plump. As soon as it was peeled open, the rich tropical fruit aroma immediately filled the air, and everyone stared longingly at the snow-white flesh.

Wang Mingyuan took a bite, his eyes widening: "Great, great, great! This used to be entirely imported from abroad; we couldn't grow it in the north at all—this is an amazing variety, bigger and sweeter than the imported ones!"

Shen Monong and Aunt Wen nodded repeatedly. This was the first time in their lives they had ever eaten such delicious bananas.

When Su Wanqing took out the large, purple mangosteen, none of the people present recognized it at all.

She deftly peeled one open, revealing the snow-white, glistening flesh inside, and separated them under the curious gazes of the crowd.

No one present had ever seen a mangosteen before. Each person was given only a small segment, which they held in their mouths and smacked for a while before finally swallowing it. The sweet taste lingered on their tongues for a long time.

Su Wanqing chuckled inwardly. You guys still haven't tasted mangosteen ice cream. The rich texture, the silky smooth milk flavor mixed with the sweet and sour taste of mangosteen is absolutely amazing!

Su Wanqing continued to rummage through the twigs, but the people around her quickly stopped her: "No, no, no! This stuff is too precious, don't peel it anymore—keep it for breeding!"

Su Wanqing smiled, picked up her basket and emptied it, revealing a pile of labeled seed packets: "Don't worry, I've saved all the seeds."

She then quickly introduced several vegetables—high-yield purple eggplants, disease-resistant cucumbers, and peppers suitable for greenhouse cultivation. Each time she brought out one, it elicited gasps of amazement from the audience.

Such a large, high-quality, and high-yielding specimen is something that the domestic breeding community has never even heard of, let alone seen.

I wonder where Su Wanqing's resourceful friend found it from overseas—but now that it's been brought back, we need to get it to the experimental field to propagate and cultivate it, and strive to promote it nationwide as soon as possible.

Wang Mingyuan's gaze towards Su Wanqing had completely transformed into that of someone looking at a precious treasure; his eyes were practically glued to her.

"Comrade Su Wanqing, you've contributed so much again, your merit is simply... simply incalculable!"

Old Liu said directly, "Su girl, what you've contributed has brought about a revolutionary change to our country's food supply! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to apply for a national medal for you!"

Su Wanqing smiled and waved her hand: "I contributed these things to the organization because I wanted the people of the whole country to live a better life. The organization doesn't need to reward me with anything extra. I just want the organization to help me set up an experimental base on that barren mountain outside the capital and plant all these new varieties for me."

She contributed these seeds because she didn't want to bother managing them herself anymore. The people at the Agricultural Research Institute were all skilled farmers; entrusting them with large-scale cultivation on that barren mountain was perfect, and she had complete confidence in them.

In the next few days, she will take some time to replace all the barren land on the mountain with the high-yield soil from her space, and the yield will be incredibly high.

Wang Mingyuan nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good! Comrade Su Wanqing, the organization will remember your contribution. Every single one of these new varieties you brought is exactly what our country urgently needs right now—high-quality seeds to increase grain production, vegetables to enrich our vegetable basket, and fruits to fill gaps. You've filled all of these gaps at once, doing us a tremendous favor! As for opening up experimental fields on the barren mountains for you to plant, leave that small matter to us."

As soon as Wang Mingyuan finished speaking, the space in Su Wanqing's mind began to flicker.

[Congratulations! You have contributed 14 high-quality new varieties of seeds, including premium wheat, high-yield rice, premium bananas, and mangosteen, free of charge. This has greatly enriched the nation's crop germplasm resources, improved the national happiness index, and provided crucial support for the national food supply project and increased grain production. You have gained 5000 Merit Points.]

[Bonus: Premium seedless Kirin watermelon seeds, premium navel orange seeds.]

Su Wanqing smacked her lips, feeling secretly pleased.

These two are absolutely fantastic fruits for juicing—from now on, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice followed by a bowl of chilled watermelon juice with no seeds to spit out will taste amazing.

While the watermelons she had before were delicious, spitting out the seeds was always a hassle. These two were both excellent, so she simply tossed the seeds into the highest-speed planting area in her space, imagining herself enjoying pure, sweet orange and watermelon juice in a few days, which made her incredibly happy.

It sounds like a long story, but it only took a few minutes in total.

Without further delay, Su Wanqing deftly slung her empty basket over her shoulder and said, "I have to rush off to rescue people, so I'll be going now."

She thought to herself, if such an important figure as the marshal really needed to be saved, he would be worth at least several hundred merit points.

However, having drunk her spiritual spring water these past few days, the situation is unlikely to be so dangerous, so I probably won't be able to earn those merit points.

But who cares? Let's try anything, let's get him back first.

Su Wanqing followed the officer decisively, leaving the entire venue still reeling from the shock she had left behind.

Everyone stared blankly at the pile of seeds on the table and the real fruits and vegetables in front of them, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

"Old Wang, could you share some of these banana seedlings with us in the south? The climate there is just right!"

"Old Zhao, don't give me that. The humidity is too high where you are, it'll cause root rot. It's perfect for planting here—"

"We don't need the fruit, but I think we should be given priority for the chili seeds to try planting; we get plenty of sunshine where I live!"

Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, Dean Wang Mingyuan coughed heavily, carefully gathered all the seeds, and said with a stern face:

"These new varieties have not yet been tested locally, so we cannot promote them nationwide rashly. We must first propagate them in the experimental fields for two seasons to stabilize their traits before proceeding. For the first batch, we will prioritize planting them at the experimental base on the barren mountain in the suburbs, under the guidance of Comrade Su Wanqing."

"Old Shen, draft a commendation report right now, listing Comrade Su Wanqing's fourteen new varieties and previous achievements, and submit it to the ministry to apply for national-level commendation for her!"

The others stared longingly at the seeds that had been taken away, their mouths watering, but they could only watch helplessly.

……

"How is it, Marshal? How is your health?"

"This is a critical moment, a matter of life and death. Both disaster areas are waiting for our assistance. What will happen if the marshal falls?"

The surgery had just finished when a huge crowd gathered outside the door.

Su Wanqing took off her mask. "Alright, he's in good health. He just had a heart attack because he hadn't slept for a few days. It's a minor surgery, nothing serious. He'll recover after a few days of bed rest."

Su Wanqing wasn't disappointed, nor was she surprised—the marshal's situation was clearly not a death sentence, and sure enough, after rescuing the person, no merit points popped up in the space for a long time.

However, she was in a pretty good mood because she had just received 5,000 merit points from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences today. She only needed to get another 10,000 merit points.

"Now that the Marshal is alright, we haven't finished discussing what happened earlier! It's extremely urgent now; we need a definite answer on how to allocate the supplies!"

"They're still waiting for food to be cooked in the Yanshan Mountains; there are 1.2 million mouths to feed, and we can't afford to waste even a day!"

Su Wanqing: "?" Her eyes lit up instantly. It seemed like there was a shortage of food somewhere?
