Chapter 18: Food Grows
Tian frowned: "Where's the food?"
"Captain Liang said there are no more."
Song wanted to cry. Her mother had finally spared the money to buy food, but how could it be gone?
How could she know that the meal on Zhu Mingqing's table was specially prepared by Captain Liang.
Others can’t buy it even if they want to.
…
Luo Tian thought that since his parents were gone, he would definitely be hungry.
But he didn't expect that the prince's wife not only believed his words, but also gave him enough food to eat.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would repay his wife in the future.
Next door, Luo Wei and Luo Dan were deeply jealous when they saw how Luo Tian was treated.
Forget about Luo Xiao and Luo Fu, they are his biological children.
But why should a lowly illegitimate son eat better than them?
If I had known that I would run into my aunt in a fight, I should have found a hidden place.
The two of them covered their hungry stomachs and for the first time thought that their grandmother might have done something wrong.
Not only did they fail to live a good life after the family split up, they couldn't even have a full meal.
…
All the food on the table was eaten up, and even the soup soaked the rice.
Luo Xiao and Luo Fu felt very happy because they had not had a full meal since they were exiled.
Now, thanks to my mother, I not only have enough to eat, but I also eat well.
The former looked up at Zhu Mingqing from time to time with a conflicted expression, wondering if this woman had really changed.
She stood up for them today, broke up with her grandmother, and agreed to divide the family.
Things are changing too fast, I always feel uneasy.
But Luo Fu felt that she had to bow her head just to have a full meal.
After all, the feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable!
Anyway, this is her biological mother. How could there be any grudge between mother and daughter?
Zhu Mingqing had no idea of their little thoughts. To her, this was just an ordinary dinner.
She couldn't finish it all by herself anyway, so she might as well maximize its value.
…
The evening breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled, and walking on the path back to the room gave Zhu Mingqing the illusion of "taking a walk after dinner in modern times."
But after all, this is not the modern world, and we have to travel again tomorrow.
She didn't know which modern city Guancheng was, so she had to find out and make plans early.
"Qingqing, the crops are ripe and can be harvested." The voice of the little world spirit suddenly sounded in his mind.
Zhu Mingqing was surprised: "So fast?!"
Although she knew that this was a fairyland and would be different from the real world, she didn't expect it to mature in just one day.
The little world spirit was very proud: "Qingqing, you can come in and take a look."
It has been a long time since it saw such a bountiful harvest.
The spiritual energy is floating above the fields like stars. I miss it so much and it feels so comfortable.
It praised again: "Qingqing, you are really great!"
The straightforward praise made the usually shameless Zhu Mingqing feel a little uncomfortable. Although she provided the seeds, farming really didn't waste her time.
She walked back while communicating with the little world spirit, with the corners of her mouth occasionally rising slightly.
When the breeze blew, a few strands of hair fell by her ears and floated on her fair face. Her temperament was elegant and transcendent. From a distance, she looked like a quiet ink painting.
Luo Fu had always known that her mother was very beautiful and had the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital.
After she married my father, she rarely went out.
Unfortunately, she doesn't look like her mother, but Daddy said that she will be very beautiful when she grows up.
Daddy, Xiaofu has grown up.
But where are you? Why don’t you come back?
Luo Fu's nose felt sore, and she looked up at the sky, recalling what her father had said in her mind: Xiao Fu, when you miss your father in the future, just look up at the night sky. The brightest star represents your father...
Luo Fu was feeling sad when a soft arm suddenly tugged at her, "Xiao Fu..."
Luo Fu wiped her tears imperceptibly, and when she saw the person coming, her face immediately drooped: "What are you doing here?"
Luo Xiu was afraid of attracting attention, so she whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened today. My eldest sister dragged me over. She said that if I didn't go, she would bully Luo Li in the future."
Luo Fu was furious: "I knew she was always vicious."
Luo Xiu hurriedly asked: "Then can you accept my apology?"
Luo Fu pouted and said nothing. Although her second sister had no choice, it didn't mean that she had to forgive her.
After all, they had a grudge against each other in the past.
Luo Xiu also knew that it would be difficult to dispel Luo Fu's vigilance at the moment, so she stopped talking. There would be plenty of opportunities to make amends later. "Xiao Fu, you have to be more careful next time. I have to go back, otherwise it would be bad if my elder sister saw us."
She gently shook Luo Fu's hand, then turned and left with a helpless expression.
Seeing this, Luo Fu's heart moved slightly again.
No matter what conflicts there were in the past, they are all exiled now, and there is no point in remembering those trivial matters.
Now the second sister seems to be quite sincere to her.
…
It was late at night and everyone was asleep before Zhu Mingqing entered the space.
In the past, the little world spirit would appear on time whenever she came in, but this time it didn't show up.
Zhu Mingqing felt something was wrong: "Little Jie Ling, where are you?"
"Qingqing, I want to take a break today, so I won't play with you anymore."
Hearing that the sound was not right, Zhu Mingqing said in a very serious voice: "Come here now, otherwise I will never come in again."
The little world spirit, frightened by these words, immediately appeared.
Zhu Mingqing immediately noticed that its body was more transparent than before, giving people the feeling that it would disappear at any time.
"What's wrong with you?" She touched its small body, not daring to use any strength.
Fearing that it wouldn't tell him, Zhu Mingqing threatened again: "You must tell me the truth, otherwise..."
"I'll tell you." The little world spirit flapped its wings and said in a low voice, "Actually, I accelerated the growth time of the crops. I was afraid Qingqing would think it was taking too long and not want to repair the immortal palace anymore."
Hearing this reason, Zhu Mingqing's heart moved slightly.
What a silly world spirit.
How could she give up this opportunity so easily?
"Does this have a big impact on your body?"
The little world spirit said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's just a small spell. I should be able to recover in a few days."
Zhu Mingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. "But don't do this again. Just go slow. These seeds will eventually grow."
Xiao Jie Ling was so moved that his eyes filled with tears: "Okay."
Knowing that the little world spirit was fine, Zhu Mingqing finally had the mind to care about other things.
This was the first time her body entered space, and she always felt light and airy, as if she could fly.
As if knowing what she was thinking, the little world spirit explained, "Qingqing, you can fly."
Zhu Mingqing opened her eyes wide, her thick eyelashes fluttering slightly, looking extremely cute.
She doesn't know any magic, but she can fly?
Thinking of this, she moved her body and floated towards a higher place.
"Wow……"
Zhu Mingqing has always been steady and would not have lost her composure like this if she had not encountered something that surprised her greatly.
Now, being able to fly freely in the air is an incredible thing for anyone.
The little world spirit explained, "This is the power of the Immortal Mansion. Once the Immortal Mansion is repaired, its area will expand, making it very difficult for you to cultivate the fields. If you could fly, you would be able to better survey the space and control the growth of plants."
At this moment, Zhu Mingqing was completely focused on his ability to fly, and he roughly understood what the little world spirit meant.
This immortal is indeed considerate of mortals.
I just don’t know how big the space will be after the restoration.
But no matter how old she is, she will farm well.
Looking at the golden wheat field below and the various mature crops around it, Zhu Mingqing frowned, but then she thought of a problem.
“How am I supposed to harvest it?”
There is so much food that she cannot finish it all in ten days and ten nights.
The little world spirit was very considerate: "Don't worry, Qingqing, I'm here to help you. When you become the true master of the Immortal Mansion, you will be able to control everything in this space at will."
"No, your body can't handle it." Zhu Mingqing refused immediately, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll collect some first and use it to make food. There's no rush for the rest, so I'll take my time."
She picked up the knife and got down to work.
Wheat can be ground into flour, used to make sugar, wine, and various pastries with other ingredients.
Rice and wheat are two giants in the staple food world and can be made into a variety of foods.
The only question now was what to make of it and how to earn the sincere praise of a hundred people.
