Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Space Bumper Harvest
While everyone was enjoying the waterlon, Lin Yunguo brought up the issue, and Li Xiuying also ntioned that she had been strolling in the Space every day but had not seen any waterlon. Could they be hidden underneath the leaves and gone unnoticed?
“Impossible, it was quite obvious, I saw them from afar as I walked by,” Lu Guanhai said.
At this mont, Nie Qing, who had been called out to eat waterlon, suddenly stopped. Could it be as he had feared?!
“What’s the matter, Uncle Nie?” Su Jin looked at Nie Qing, who had suddenly stopped, and asked. Could he have discovered sothing?
“Hurry, let’s go check the Spirit Field!” Nie Qing quickly finished a slice of waterlon and dashed outside.
The family looked at each other, puzzled. What was going on?
However, since it concerned the Space, they all followed him out.
“My goodness, when did these rice and corn crops mature?”
Li Xiuying simply couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. She had passed by the Spirit Field just this morning, and none of the crops had been mature then.
“Ah, so it is true, indeed true, haha, I’ve got it!” Nie Qing, standing at the front, was uncontrollably excited.
“Uncle Nie, why is it that suddenly…” Su Jin was delighted too, but even more amazed.
“Girl, I’m guessing it’s all because the Space just absorbed a Beast Core,” Nie Qing shared his epiphany. He had overheard the conversation between Old Master Lin and Lu Guanhai while eating waterlon and had co to this conclusion, which turned out to be correct.
“Because of the Beast Core, these crops grow faster?!” The family asked in astonishnt.
“Precisely, it’s possible that before, the Spiritual Power in the Space wasn’t very abundant. But we have just replenished a lot of it, so these crops grew rapidly,” Nie Qing explained.
It’s very likely that the growth of the crops in the Space had slowed down before, and the family hadn’t noticed.
So, Spiritual Power is so important to the Space; it seems they will have to work harder in the future.
But, looking at the ripe rice, corn, vegetables, and the fruit trees by the stream… the family suddenly felt troubled. Hadn’t they co to the Space to rest? Why did it seem like there was work to do now?!
Not only that, Li Xiuying noticed there were many more pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks in the livestock and poultry area, especially the eggs. From the outside of the chicken coop, eggs filled the straw on both sides of the coop!
And it was the sa with duck eggs. Lin Yunguo had Lin Cheng dig a large pit near the duck house and had Huang Yunxiang and Lin Tianzhen add water to it each ti they practiced their Water ability, creating a pond where the ducks would usually frolic. Now, the grass by the pond was also filled with duck eggs.
“Xiao Jin, what are we going to do with this? The warehouse is already full of chicken and duck eggs, and they’re still laying. How long will it take for us to eat all of these?” Li Xiuying was on the verge of tears.
“Erm, for now, Grandma, since the Space can preserve them, let’s just put them aside and eat them slowly…” Su Jin didn’t know what to do at that mont. For perishables like these, not to expose the Space, they could only be consud internally. They would consider other thods if one beca available later.
Next to the Spirit Field, Nie Qing thought of a quick way to harvest the rice: using his Wind Blade.
Nie Qing bent over and gently released a Wind Blade Technique near the bottom of the rice plants, and a swath of rice bowed down to the wind.
It worked!
Su Jin, who had been wondering when to bring in a rice harvester, couldn’t help but applaud. A Special Ability could also be used like this; it was so convenient.
Even Lu Guanhai, who often had a bone to pick with Nie Qing, rarely praised him this ti, “This thod is really both fast and labor-saving.”
After Nie Qing harvested all the rice in the Spirit Field, the rest was Su Jin’s job.
Su Jin used her thoughts to move all the harvested rice in the sa direction to the open space in front of the Lu Residence, planning to wait for Lin Cheng and Lin Xiuyuan to process the rice with a rice milling machine later.
The harvesting and transporting of corn were done in the sa way, but everyone had to break off the corn cobs by hand one by one.
“This corn looks so fresh and full,” Huang Yunxiang exclaid while breaking off the cobs. She had never seen such good corn in all her years.
“Yeah, and we don’t have to worry about bugs either,” Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, added.
“It’s been so long since I’ve broken corn cobs. Hey, sister, do you rember when we were kids and picked corn at grandpa’s house?” Lin Tianzhen reminisced, and the corn back then was nowhere as good as it is now.
“How can I forget? We ended up with so many cuts on our hands.”
…
Taking advantage of this ti, the rest of the people went to pick lots of fruits and vegetables from by the creek and the vegetable patch.
Mao Zhihang and Su Xiangzhe brought over basket after basket of tomatoes, followed by bell peppers, eggplants, string beans, cucumbers…
anwhile, Su Jin used her thoughts to move basket after basket of apples, pears, peaches, apricots… from the creek side.
“My goodness, this is amazing. When will we ever finish eating all this stuff?” Lin Yunguo and Mao Qiqi sat at the warehouse entrance, taking the fruits moved by Su Jin from the baskets and storing them, while empty baskets were again shifted away by Su Jin, and before long, more baskets of fruits reappeared.
“Grandpa, I also think it’s a lot. It would be great if we could sell them,” Mao Qiqi muttered while picking apples.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunguo paused for a mont. Indeed, it would be nice if they could sell them. Fresh produce couldn’t be sold, but they could think of other thods, such as turning fruits into canned goods, although these cans could only be preserved in the Space and shouldn’t last long outside. Flour and other items could be turned into dry food or pancakes which were easier to preserve, and eggs, duck eggs, and ats could be turned into cured products…
However, Lin Yunguo had not yet shared these ideas with Su Jin, as he knew it wasn’t the right ti.
At this mont, Su Jin and Lu Hao were still by the creek, picking fruits near the fruit trees. It goes without saying that these trees were too productive and also not affected by the climate of the Space. After all this ti, Su Jin had found the temperature in this Space remains a constant, around 26-27 degrees Celsius. Apples, peaches, pears, and other fruits that usually mature in different seasons were all ripening at the sa stage.
“I wonder if these fruits will bloom and bear fruit again imdiately after being picked,” Su Jin said as she used vines to pluck fruit that was out of reach.
“If there is enough Spiritual Power, they definitely will,” Lu Hao said, holding a basket on one hand and standing under the trees, picking the fruits he could reach with the other hand.
“You two, after you finish picking, help move the waterlons,” Lu Guanhai called from the Spirit Field behind them. He had casually planted two waterlon seeds, never expecting to harvest dozens of large waterlons. It was truly unexpected.
Su Jin smiled, asking Lu Hao to keep picking on his own for now, while she walked to the waterlon field. She used her thoughts to move the waterlons Lu Guanhai had picked to the warehouse entrance.
“Thanks, daughter-in-law, this trick is really so useful!”
Seeing that all the waterlons had been picked, Lu Guanhai was ready to co up and help Lu Hao and Su Jin pick fruit.
Inside this Space, Lu Guanhai, who loved the pastoral life, felt an imnse happiness. He was even considering what else to plant, as there was still vacant space in the Spirit Field.
