Chapter 89: Chapter 87 Buzha Leaf
As the day broke, Li Pan woke up early, feeling truly comfortable after a good night’s sleep. She stretched lazily on the terrace, did so morning exercises to limber up, and then went to wash up and change clothes, ready to start her day’s work.
Last night, as soon as she had returned, she planted the Spirit Plants she brought back into soil pots and imdiately transferred her superpower to them, not daring to delay.
When she went downstairs for breakfast, Gu Ye and the others greeted her.
“You’re back. Was it tough? Did everything go smoothly?”
“Went very smoothly indeed, just a bit far away. It took a whole day by car, but other than that, everything was fine.”
“Co have breakfast. Knowing you’d be back today, I’ve prepared sothing delicious for lunch.”
“Great, thanks, Brother Gu.”
Li Pan nodded happily, picking up a piece of garlic butter bread and started munching on it. This garlic butter was made by Gu Ye; they had an abundance of milk at ho and couldn’t store all of it, so they turned it into butter and tofu. The children loved it.
Making the garlic butter wasn’t complicated. Garlic was diced into small pieces, mixed with softened butter, a pinch of salt, and minced celery. If there was no celery, scallion could also be used, blending it until smooth. One could make a bit more and store it in a sealed jar. When you wanted to eat it, simply cut the bread open, spread the garlic butter inside, and pop it back in the oven for a few minutes to lt.
The soft, slightly oozing butter with the tender bread, sweet and full of garlic flavor, was fragrant in every bite – this bread was everyone’s favorite.
“Brother Gu, the bread you make is so delicious.”
“Having Wood Power, we have an abundance of breadfruit that we can’t even finish. The kids love it too, so I bake a few extra ones. If anyone gets hungry at night, they can have a bite anyti.”
“Right, and the bread can still be eaten even if it’s cooled down, no need to reheat, which is convenient and saves trouble.”
Zhang Qi also nodded in agreent.
“How is the spring plowing going at ho?”
“Not much work left.”
“That’s good. And Yu?”
“She’s at No.7 Farm and East Mountain Base with others, training. These past few days, they’ve been training around the clock. They train while working during the day – the work counts as training too, and then there’s separate training at night. There’s a wide variety of activities.”
Zhang Qi swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking.
“That’s good. There are no shortcuts to learning skills. Her superpower is very strong, and the base places great importance on it. She shouldn’t be afraid of hardships. If she’s strong herself, she’ll have nothing to fear anywhere she goes.”
“Sis, thank you. Yu has been feeling quite upset these past few days, afraid that you might encounter danger while you were away.”
“Not at all, she overthinks. I went to make money and even brought back several kinds of Spirit Plants. Without going, I wouldn’t have earned these plants. Opportunities like this are rare, and I wanted to go myself. The visit from the East Mountain folks was an opportunity provided by the Base Commander for her, and rember to thank him the next ti you see him.”
“I know, Brother has made it very clear to . I won’t forget.”
“Hurry up and eat. After we finish, let’s get to work. I need to check on the crops in the field; we can’t afford any mistakes.”
Li Pan couldn’t stop worrying about the fields and insisted on checking them herself, only to feel at ease after taking a walk around.
After finishing breakfast, everyone went to tend to their own tasks. Spring plowing was particularly busy. Gu Yun ca back early at noon to cook for everyone, while Gu Ye would not cook but went to work in the fields.
Adults and children have different amounts of labor. During peak farming tis, it is usually the children who do the cooking while the adults go out to do the physical work.
Li Pan went to the fields to check each one, first infusing a round of superpower to adjust any unsuitable areas, and then went to No.7 Farm to inspect.
Working alongside the people of No.7 Farm, they carried out large-scale intercropping this year, which was a critical one. Last year’s intercropping was limited and experintal. The yield per acre was quite good, very pleasing indeed, so they began large-scale intercropping this year.
No.7 Farm also planted a lot of cotton fields, which were suitable for intercropping with fennel, coriander, and the like.
They also replanted so breadfruit trees. The base had a standing order for these breadfruits, which sold very well, so having so in No.7 Farm was convenient for their own consumption.
In addition, they planted Purple clover and Black oats alfalfa for the green storage pit to feed the cattle and sheep. Now that they had more land, the breeding area was enlarged, with dedicated enclosures for chickens, ducks, and geese, all quite spacious, expanding the breeding area.
They bred two kinds of cattle, beef and dairy, and two kinds of sheep, all of excellent breeds. The at was tender with no gay taste, and the clear broth had a faint milky flavor. However, the prices were high, and even the exchange rates were not cheap. They were very popular and in high demand.
No. 8 Farm mainly cultivated grains and fruits, and instead of destroying the woods, they turned them into ginseng and dicinal plant plantations beneath the trees, which also provided a harvest and made full use of various resources without damaging the natural ecosystem.
All this was learned by Li Pan through reading books, and her years of persistence in studying had been worthwhile.
Her No.7 and No.8 Farms far exceeded the profits of other farms, ranking first in terms of both inco and quality of various agricultural products and ats.
The rich district had long wanted to cooperate with her at high prices, but she tactfully declined. They were unreliable; despite the large sums of money they currently offered, the mont she ceased to be of use to them, they would abandon her, sothing she was well aware of.
Moreover, as an orphan raised by the base, she would have long been dead without the base’s care, with grass overgrowing her grave.
As long as the base accepted her products, she was not inclined to sell to others. She followed the Base Commander’s arrangents and kept herself out of trivial matters, avoiding trouble.
The Base Commander was now praised for his discerning eye. The person he had supported without hesitation was now in a position to support and give back to the base, providing him with strong support. They had achieved success together and had beco each other’s support.
After a winter of learning and training, Li Pan’s high-level superpower had slightly advanced. She hadn’t reached the state of Zhenhua—that was still a bit far off—but she beca increasingly proficient in the use of various skills.
Especially her mastery of sensing and detecting with the Wood Elent Factor was flawless, and everything was within her control.
At the entrances of both farms, they planted Poisonous Flowers and Grass that corresponded to the Five Elents as a protective Wood Elent Array Formation.
Li Pan wandered in the forested area, considering where to transplant the Spirit Plants in the future, as they would require a separate plot of land.
She planned to plant the Spirit Plants on No.8 Farm to care for and guard them closely. No.7 Farm was a bit too far, and running back and forth did not give her peace of mind, as she feared complications.
After making the rounds, she checked on the greenhouse vegetables. They could be harvested another two or three tis, and then they could transition to the field vegetables going to market.
Using her Wood Power, she probed beneath No.8 Farm to detect any pests that might harm the crops, so as to deal with them promptly.
After another thorough inspection of No.7 Farm and finding no surprises, she felt relieved.
Seeing the Wolf King leading his team on patrol, they now had a routine of patrolling both farms twice daily. The Golden Eagle was responsible for the aerial patrol, while the Leopard and dogs crossed paths with the Wolf King for round-the-clock vigilance.
In return, they were rewarded with excellent als, at with every al, and crystal cores were exchanged without fail. Naturally, they were very satisfied with the farms.
She noticed that the Buzha Leaf had evolved. Previously purified by her multiple tis, to her surprise, it evolved upon the coming of spring. The leaves and flowers could be used for tea, providing significant therapeutic effects for emotional and ntal healing. As for the extent of its effectiveness, she didn’t know and decided it needed to be tested.
She picked so leaves and buds to take back and brew into tea for everyone to try.
