Chapter 84 Acorn Soup Two-Day Weekend System
After sleeping on a hard bed for so long, Shu Xin finally has a soft mattress and a sturdy pillow. Now, with the big, wide, cool leaves of the Tree of Life as a blanket, hugging the two warm, fluffy balls on either side, it feels just as comfortable as being under a quilt and having air conditioning on a hot summer day!
After a good night's sleep, Shu Xin woke up feeling refreshed. The little lamb was still fast asleep beside her, but the magical cat was no longer there.
As soon as she returned to the Land of Sin, Shu Xin lifted the shrinking spell and returned to her original size as a flower fairy. She was actually a little worried that her change would frighten Daisy, but to her surprise, the magical cat was very calm and composed. After flying around the flower fairy once, Daisy landed and familiarly jumped into Shu Xin's arms.
Daisy was very dutiful. During the day, she would diligently patrol every corner of the Flower Castle, and at night, she would carefully inspect every inch of the Land of Sin. Only in the evening would the magical cat stay by Shuxin's side and leave after coaxing the flower fairy to sleep.
It was hard for Shu Xin not to favor such a well-behaved and sensible kitten, but even if Shu Xin wanted to do something for Daisy, she didn't know where to start—
As a magical cat, Daisy doesn't need to defecate or shed, so there's no need to scoop litter or brush her fur. As for her diet, Daisy only drinks some water from the Sun Spring every day and doesn't eat anything else. At first, Shuxin arranged for servants to fetch water for Daisy, but later on, she didn't even need to fetch water anymore; Daisy would go to the Sun Spring to drink water on her own!
It seems that all Shu Xin can do is praise the kitten more.
After waking up, Shuxin went downstairs and found a steaming bowl of soup and rice already laid out on the dining table. She sat down at the table in a cheerful mood and began to eat.
In the Land of Sin, whether they are flower fairies, commoners, or slaves, everyone now gets two meals a day. Shu Xin, as a flower fairy, receives the special treatment of three meals a day.
Shuxin's breakfast and lunch usually consist of round slice soup or sweet powder soup, accompanied by various freshly baked pastries. Dinner is the same as the patrol team members: acorn bread with acorn wine.
With the addition of the bakery and brewery, the cook Memeline's workload decreased somewhat. However, the Sinful Land gained another batch of flower fairy slaves, which increased her workload again. With all these additions and subtractions, even with the assistance of various cooking utensils and magic arrays, Memeline was still very busy today.
However, the flower fairy slaves no longer drank the extremely bitter wheatgrass soup. After the underground warehouse was filled with acorns and turned into acorn powder, Shu Xin waved her hand and allowed Mei Meilin to add more acorn powder and a little sugar to the slaves' wheatgrass soup. Now the wheatgrass soup that the slaves drank could be called a sweet soup.
As for the flower fairies and commoners, they can directly drink a rich and flavorful acorn-scented acorn soup.
Under the generous instructions of the Flower Fairy, the cook added a generous amount of acorn flour, resulting in a very thick acorn flour soup. After drinking a bowl of it hot in the morning, the flower fairies felt very full. They felt that this food was enough to keep them working hard all day. In the afternoon, they were given an extra dish of fragrant, soft, sweet, and fluffy acorn bread. Faced with such a delicious and plentiful food supply, all the flower fairies could do to repay the Flower Fairy was to work even harder.
Thanks to the diligent work of the flower fairies, a large number of magic wands were manufactured, and magic workshops were completed one after another.
After discussing with Nonori and Pengpengan, Shuxin decided to distribute magic wands to civilians who hadn't joined the patrol team. However, the wands to be distributed would naturally be auxiliary wands, as there weren't enough for everyone yet, so the production of magic wands could continue.
In Shu Xin's view, the flower fairies don't need any training. Once they join the patrol team and get a magic wand, they automatically become warriors. From another perspective, the flower fairies are practically soldiers. If that's the case, then distributing magic wands to the civilians who haven't joined the patrol team would at least improve their self-defense capabilities.
Shu Xin, who had never experienced anything like it, couldn't imagine what the extraterrestrial monsters that would arrive during the Harvest Month would be like. All she could do now was to make thorough preparations. Since she was armed to the teeth, she couldn't afford to overlook anything!
As for the construction of the magic workshop, it was halted. Instead, the construction of a new brewery began. Shu Xin planned to build a bread workshop after the brewery was completed. The number of flower fairies in the Land of Sin would only increase, so she needed to prepare in advance. After the harvest month was over, she also wanted to plant some oak trees in the Land of Sin, provided, of course, that they could survive...
Besides adjusting her work direction, Shu Xin also set a five-day work week followed by a two-day weekend. Nuonuo Li and Peng Peng An were both puzzled, as they had no concept of rest days and workdays. Shu Xin didn't bother to explain and just implemented it—we're in another world now, she wants a two-day weekend!
Unable to read the calendar or understand the stars, Shu Xin decided to implement a two-day weekend system from now on, with tomorrow and the day after tomorrow being rest days where she could do nothing.
Whether they are flower fairy slaves, commoners, or servants of the Flower Castle, their rest is easy to arrange. They just need to stop what they are doing. However, the cook Meimeilin's job is a bit special. After all, everyone needs to eat on their days off. Shuxin doesn't want to add the evil and ugly adjustment system when the beautiful two-day weekend system has just been born.
After thinking about it, Shu Xin felt that this problem was easy to solve. The bread workshop and the brewery didn't close for the holidays, so everyone could eat acorn bread and drink acorn wine together! Great, it's decided then. I'll go tell Nonoli and Pengpengan in a bit.
Shu Xin ate a plate of sweet cookies with the round slice soup, and also had a small bowl of Mei Meilin's newly made acorn pudding. To be honest, Shu Xin never imagined that acorns could be used to make pudding.
After asking Meimeilin out of curiosity, Shuxin received the reply from the recipe that this food could also be called acorn tofu. Whether it was "pudding" or "tofu", the flower fairies had never eaten it. Meimeilin called it pudding simply because she thought the pronunciation was better.
Considering the naming methods of the flower fairies, Shu Xin had to admit that acorn pudding was indeed more in line with their aesthetic sense. Moreover, under the guidance of the otherworldly custom recipe provided by the Tree of Life, the acorn tofu made by Mei Meilin did indeed resemble pudding, with a very sweet taste. It was hard for Shu Xin to equate such a sweet food with tofu.
After all, in the original world, regarding the debate over whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory, as a northerner, she was a staunch supporter of the savory version. Even the flower fairies all seemed to adore sweet treats, so they must all be sweet lovers...
If she could get some soybeans, she could try making soy milk, tofu, and tofu pudding. She could also sprout beans, which are delicious whether stir-fried or used in soup! Shu Xin swallowed her saliva, lost in thought, and then ate the last piece of acorn pudding.
The sweet and soft acorn pudding is definitely quite delicious, but Shuxin really wanted something savory, especially salted duck eggs with sizzling, oily yolks. She could eat two big bowls of it in one go if she mixed it with white rice!
Shu Xin sighed softly. She didn't even know if soybeans existed in this world, let alone duck eggs. Thinking of the Feathered Eagle and the feathered eagle trainer Vivian, Shu Xin felt a little guilty. If she asked Vivian to buy some white-feathered birds to lay eggs for her, would she be scolded? She definitely would!
“The steward said that today is a day off and we don’t need to work,” Ananka said to the somewhat apprehensive slaves. “The benevolent Flower Fairy praised our diligence, so she specially gave us two days, today and tomorrow, to relax and do our own things.”
The flower fairy slaves woke up early and flew to their respective work sites to prepare for work, but they did not expect that they could not fly to the brewery, the magic workshop, or the newly opened fields.
A massive magical barrier enveloped the brewery under construction, as well as the magic workshops in normal use, and even the land where seeds had been sown but had not yet sprouted. A faint magical glow flickered and flowed across the barrier, keeping groups of flower fairies outside—not just flower fairy slaves, but also flower fairy civilians.
Soon the flower fairies discovered that the patrol team members had also flown back to the settlement in a daze, and their training grounds were also shrouded in a magical barrier, making them unable to enter.
The officials in charge of affairs and the tax collector flew over, called over a few flower fairies, gave them a few instructions, and then left without lifting the magical barrier.
The flower fairy slave who was called over to speak was none other than Ananka, who was wearing a yellow cloak. After the nobleman left, Ananka flew back and conveyed the nobleman's words to the flower fairy slaves.
"Days off? Are days only for rest? No work required? But what else can we do if we don't work?"
"Yeah...we should just do our own thing. What do we have to do?"
The flower fairy slaves were bewildered and at a loss.
"If we don't work, will we not have anything to eat?" one of the flower fairy slaves pointed out, "That means we're going to go hungry!"
“No, that won’t happen!” Ananka quickly replied. “The Flower Fairy has already thought of everything, and the nobles have also specifically said that at noon we can go to the bakery to eat acorn bread, and in the evening we can take bowls to the brewery to collect acorn wine to drink at home.”
“You can’t drink too much acorn wine, just enough to cover the bottom of the bowl, but we can eat as much acorn bread as we want,” Ananka added.
The flower fairy slaves were stunned, especially the new ones; they couldn't believe they were dreaming in broad daylight.
Ananna cheered, "By the Goddess of Flowers! Thank you, Fairy Flower! I know what a day of rest is! A day of rest is acorn bread day! It's acorn wine day! Brother, brother! We can go and collect flower petals to make mattresses and carpets! We can collect flower petals today and tomorrow, we can collect so many flower petals!"
She flew over eagerly, grabbed Ananka, and quickly flew away, her cheerful voice carried on the wind: "I'm going to make sure the mattress is thick and the carpet is thick too!"
"I also want to put on a thick mattress and carpet..."
"I want to too..."
"Then let's go collect flower petals! I also want to decorate the edge of my round house with leaves, just like Katie's house, it's so pretty!"
