Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Ye Shiqi was very supportive of the boss's approach of asking when he didn't understand and having the curiosity of a child, and noted that his subordinates had the same expression, though they dared not ask.

"Explosives are, after we light this item, it will explode, and this explosion can be very dangerous, destroying both objects and people, leading to death or severe damage. We produce these explosives for combating enemies, not for malevolent purposes, and currently, these are just prototypes."

Ye Shiqi's explanation made the boss and his subordinates somewhat skeptical, but out of respect for the little master, they did not raise any objections.

Moving through worldly society, they encountered many foreigners on the sea, who had not yet advanced to this level of technology.

How did the little master come to know of these contraptions?

The boss thought these were just toys for the little master to play with; surely the explosives couldn't be that strong, any more than firecrackers, right?

Perhaps it was the fire burning these things that would release their scent.

Ye Shiqi did not allow them to take the items out. When the boss wanted to take these items out, she warned that they were hazardous, and could explode if handled carelessly.

Ye Shiqi trusted the crew to be loyal soldiers on board the ship.

However, she couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any thieves sneaking up from underneath the sea, trying to create explosions and chaos to sample their goods for themselves.

Seeing that the little master would not let them move the items out, the boss reluctantly brought in a small box.

This was to let the little master store the items in the small box, which would keep them from spilling and be somewhat safer inside, not causing issues despite the ship's rocking.

Ye Shiqi watched the boss secure the box lid and told him to go about his duties, as it was nearing dinner time.

After the boss left, he closed his door with a "clack".

With a thought, Ye Shiqi stored the box into her space.

The safest place was not somewhere on the ship, but only within her own space could she truly trust.

A moment later, the boss personally brought dinner, knocking "knock knock knock".

When Ye Shiqi opened the door, she saw the boss had brought her a meal to the bed, which was quite lavish, featuring seafood that could only be enjoyed from the river and sea.

Besides the seafood meal, there was also seafood soup, and congee made with seafood.

"Not bad, a rich dinner, shall we sit down and eat together?"

At Ye Shiqi's appreciation, the boss grinned honestly, stating that they had more seafood than they could consume, which they would salt for preservation to send outside the border.

Of course, he wouldn't dine with the little master; one mustn't forget the rules outside.

Besides the social status that distinguished the little master from him, there was also the matter of their different genders.

Ye Shiqi didn't insist, knowing that the abundant seafood was more than enough for many people, as it was specially prepared for her.

In her space, there were also people and horses that needed to be fed.

She could cook in her space, and with the addition of this seafood, they could have a variety of dishes.

As for the horses, the best feed was the rice straw produced in her space.

In the past, rice straw was wasted, simply thrown into the space to be used as fertilizer.

Actually, with Space Water for irrigation, those rice straws were unnecessary, and right now, they were perfect for horse feed.

On the first day of their journey with the old housekeepers, they fed the horses with the prepared feed, careful not to use any item gifted by others for fear of it being used to harm the horses through underhanded means.

Before the boss left, he surreptitiously surveyed the little master's room and noticed the small box was missing.

He was somewhat puzzled inside – where had the little master placed the box?

He couldn't ask; if the little master did not want others to know, she surely had her reasons.

After a simple meal of seafood porridge and some other seafood, Ye Shiqi stored the rest in her space, which previously contained items for steaming and boiling, used for medicine preparation and cosmetic production.

This time, it was used for cooking, and the firewood for cooking was made from rice seedling straws.

The ash from the rice seedlings could only be scattered among the flowers and plants.

Ye Shiqi cooked a large pot of rice, and now she was only able to feed the old housekeeper, guard, and maid in her space one meal a day, sustaining them on Space Water honey.

During the day, it was not convenient to enter her space entirely, and her Divine Sense could only help with giving them water.

At first, the space might not have been accustomed to living people entering; these humans, and even the horse, kept their eyes open, yet were unable to eat or drink autonomously.

After one more day, though as still as puppets, the people and the horse could autonomously feed themselves with the items Ye Shiqi supplied.

Ye Shiqi was always alert to the outside situation, as this was a time when the leader might look for her.

The leader and the crew took turns eating meals outside, using their long-range viewing tools on the tall deck to watch the distance around the large boat.

This was to prevent any sudden enemy movements; nightfall was approaching, and it would be difficult to see into the distance with the faint lights.

Before entering the night, the leader spotted fog on the river, which obscured visibility beyond ten meters and presented a hazard to navigation on the river.

At any moment, they might collide with unseen objects.

If an enemy attacked, they too would be unable to see the assailants.

However, this fog also had an advantage, as they could not see the enemy, the enemy likewise wouldn't easily be able to see them or their actions.

Upon discovering the fog, the leader knew that it would be another sleepless night.

He ordered his subordinates to be vigilant, both those navigating the boat and those who weren't, to keep an eye on the river both ahead and behind at all times.

They were to brace for unforeseen objects ahead and prevent collisions from the rear.

The crew, experienced subordinates, understood that they could not be near flowing water that night; they were determined to work diligently for safety, despite the lack of sleep.

After instructing his subordinates, the leader went to report the vital news to the little master.

Hearing a knock, Ye Shiqi left her space, and, as the leader cleared the tableware, he reported the situation of the fog to the little master.

Ye Shiqi...?

Having heard the leader's report, she told him to go on with his duties and not worry about her end.

"Little master, shall I prepare your foot bath and help you wash and retire early for the night?"

To not unsettle the others, Ye Shiqi could only let him help.

Although he wore clothes of the same color as the previous day, seemingly unchanged, this was not the case.

Her elder sisters had made her many sets of garments from fabric of the same color.

Besides different embroideries, the clothes were the same in color and buttons.

Ye Shiqi's male attire and headgear were also identical, preventing others from noticing her lack of luggage or the fact that she had changed clothes.

They assumed she had no other clothes to wear and planned to buy her some when they reached shore.

Ye Shiqi did not reveal the truth yet declined the leader's offer.

The leader and the boat staff always noticed a pleasant scent on the little master, attributing it merely to a young lady's fondness for perfume.

After grooming, Ye Shiqi did not sleep in her space this evening.

While everyone was vigilant, having the ability to detect positions farther away with her space, she could not refrain from assisting.
