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

Trading with Secretary Li was simply too cost-effective. He was generous, had stable demand, and the channels were safe. It was much more efficient than her secretly trading on the black market. She needed a large amount of gold, silver, and copper for her space upgrade, as these metals were usually hard to come by.

Party Secretary Li nodded. "Last time they did the math, and they said they still need a camera and three Shanghai brand watches. Oh, and... you mentioned lubricating oil last time, I wonder if you could get a few hundred or a thousand liters?"

Su Wanqing glanced at the lubricant that was returned tenfold from the space. "Yes, we have it all! I asked last time, and there's plenty. This time, it's the same old rule: payment in gold or silver. But my friend said it would be even better if we had copper."

"Okay, then let's exchange them for gold, silver, and copper at the old prices." The regiment has quite a bit of copper, so it's good to exchange them all this time.

However—Liu Shuqing coughed, “We have another problem here. We’d like to ask you to help us ask your friend… Sigh, it’s all Chen Mingda’s fault!” He then explained the delay in getting the alfalfa and rapeseed seeds.

Su Wanqing's expression turned very strange after hearing this.

Isn't this a coincidence? It's too much of a coincidence!

Her main purpose in coming here this time was to report on the alfalfa issue!

Secretary Li added grimly, "However, Dr. Su, don't worry, this is Chen Mingda's last chance to withhold our supplies... He'll naturally step down in a couple of days. Then I'll bring Chen Weidong back and have him undergo labor reform in the regiment, to deeply reflect on his actions!"

Li Aiguo couldn't sleep or eat in peace until he got his revenge!

Su Wanqing silently lit a candle for Chen Mingda in her heart. Of all people to mess with, why did he have to provoke Secretary Li, who was highly praised and shrewd in the original text? It seems Chen Mingda is like a grasshopper in autumn; he won't be able to jump around for much longer. Chen Weidong's good days are also coming to an end.

That'll really be quite a show!

Liu Shuqing sighed, "Well, we know this request is a bit excessive. Those seeds are imported from abroad, requiring the country's precious foreign exchange reserves, and are strictly rationed. There's simply no way there will be any left over on the market. Even if your friend, Dr. Su, has extensive connections and can't get them, it's not a big deal. Just ask around for us, as a last resort..."

"No need to ask, my friend definitely can't get these alfalfa seeds," Su Wanqing said, adding that she indeed couldn't get the seeds from abroad.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li and Liu Shuqing's faces immediately fell in disappointment, and they both sighed. It seemed that this path was completely blocked, and they would have to think of other ways.

However, Su Wanqing changed the subject and slowly continued:

"However—although my friend can't get alfalfa seeds from abroad, but…" She paused deliberately, savoring the shift in their expressions from disappointment to confusion.

"I've gotten my hands on alfalfa seeds that are even better than those from abroad! Isn't that a coincidence? I came here today specifically to report this!"

"What?!" Secretary Li was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, spitting out the mouthful of tea he had just taken a sip! Luckily, he instinctively turned his head, and the tea sprayed all over Liu Shuqing's face, who was craning his neck to listen next to him!

Liu Shuqing: "..."

Su Wanqing's lips twitched slightly. Boss, there's no need to get so agitated, is there?

Liu Shuqing didn't even bother to wipe her face, her voice cracking: "Dr. Su! You...you're telling the truth?! You really got your hands on alfalfa that's even better than what's available abroad?! But...but we're about to plant it, and the timing..."

Su Wanqing took out Aunt Wen's alfalfa and seeds from the basket on her back, and also took out a stronger version of alfalfa.

"Secretary Li, Officer Liu, look! This is the superior alfalfa cultivated by Aunt Wen, yielding about 4 jin per mu! She still has a lot of original seeds here, enough to plant this time! When the autumn harvest comes, we can invite experts from the Agricultural Bureau to measure the yield per mu, and next year it can be promoted nationwide. Then we won't need to spend foreign exchange to import seeds from abroad anymore!"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "This is the alfalfa I found on the back hill. Aunt Wen said you should surround it, and she will stay there to watch over it until the seeds mature so that we can cultivate and domesticate them to produce the original variety. The yield per mu will be at least 5 jin, but it will take a year before it can be widely promoted."

Party Secretary Li paced back and forth in the room excitedly, "Great! Great! Great! That's wonderful! Now we don't have to be afraid of Chen Mingda's threats at all! His plan to strangle us has completely failed!"

Liu Shuqing: "Yeah, yeah, that son of a bitch wanted us to pay ten times the price to buy back the generator? Dream on! Dr. Su, you're truly our 65th Regiment's lucky star! You're a lifesaver!"

Party Secretary Li stopped and looked intently at Su Wanqing. "Comrade Su, you've done a great service again! Just discovering and reporting such excellent alfalfa resources can reduce the country's foreign exchange burden by a lot! It also gives our nearby farms a real boost in production and confidence! Do you know how much more our farm, and the entire division headquarters, can raise hundreds more cattle and thousands more sheep with this high-yield alfalfa? That's a tremendous contribution!"

Su Wanqing certainly knew how many cattle and sheep this alfalfa could feed.

He immediately ordered Liu Shuqing: "Shuqing! You personally take a few reliable militiamen and cordon off the ravine where the wild alfalfa was found. Set up sentry posts, and no one is allowed to approach without my permission! Then go find Aunt Wen and collect the seeds that were sown this time. I'll draft an application report right away. This matter must be reported to the division headquarters immediately, and the credit and reward for Comrade Xiao Su should be implemented as soon as possible!"

We can't just take someone else's seeds for free!

Su Wanqing quickly added, "Secretary Li, the credit for cultivating alfalfa belongs to Aunt Wen..."

Party Secretary Li glared at her, "Aunt Wen's identity is special, and it's inconvenient for her to show her face. She specifically entrusted this matter to you, which shows her trust in you and is the best arrangement! You must take credit for this! As for Aunt Wen's side..."

He pondered for a moment, "I'll try to find a way to reinforce their cowshed and cover it with a thicker layer of mud so they can stay warm in the winter. That's the kind of help they need most right now."

Su Wanqing thought it made sense. The bigwig in the cowshed would be going back to be an expert in six months, and now he needed to suffer less in the winter, so she would secretly give Aunt Wen's family some more financial assistance.

Liu Shuqing immediately ran out, and returned like a gust of wind a moment later.

"Master! Should we just distribute Aunt Wen's seeds directly? Or should we explain their origin to everyone? If we go through the proper procedures, we need to report to the Agricultural Bureau for approval before changing to new seed varieties..."

After a moment's thought, Party Secretary Li said, "I'll just tell the villagers that it's the latest and best variety that I brought in. If any problems arise, I, Li Aiguo, will take full responsibility! I'll personally call Leader Jiang right now to report this situation."

While there are risks involved in changing the seed species without authorization, Chen Mingda is clearly delaying the planting process, which will result in even greater losses if the planting season is missed!
