The next day, Shen Yanming woke up at 10 a.m.
Shen Yanming tiptoed out of bed, quickly tucked the blanket back in, picked up his slippers from under the bed, gently opened the door, squeezed out, and then gently closed it again. After putting on his slippers, he went to the public bathroom in the living room to wash up.
After tidying himself up, Shen Yanming opened the refrigerator and found it full of drinks, milk, beer, and eggs. He took out two eggs and closed the refrigerator.
I went to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of rice from the rice bag in the cupboard, poured it into the rice cooker, rinsed it, added water, and started cooking the rice.
Then, I took out a sea bass from my space, cleaned it, stuffed scallions, ginger and garlic into its belly, put it in a porcelain plate, poured in steamed fish soy sauce, and steamed it over water for 15 minutes.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and realized he needed a vegetarian dish, so he took out two tomatoes and a bunch of chrysanthemum greens from his spatial storage. After washing them, he stir-fried some tomatoes and eggs and then simply stir-fried some chrysanthemum greens.
Half an hour later, the meal was ready. Shen Yanming looked at the delicious-looking and fragrant food in front of him, feeling extremely satisfied. "Hmm, it's already quite remarkable to be able to achieve this level."
When Shen Yanming stepped out of the kitchen, he saw that Bi Qiaoan was still asleep. He put the plated food into his spatial storage, cleaned the knife and cutting board, washed the pot and wiped the stove, and then sat on the sofa to browse Weibo, waiting for Qiaoan to get up and have her meal.
It wasn't until 12:30 that Bi Qiaoan got up with her hair all messy. After washing up, she dragged her weak steps to the living room and sat down next to Shen Yanming.
Bi Qiaoan wrapped her arms around Shen Yanming's waist, rested her chin on Shen Yanming's left shoulder, and looked up, saying in a soft voice, "Darling, I'm hungry!"
Shen Yanming shuddered at the sound of that languid, lingering voice, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Good boy, dinner's ready in a minute!"
Bi Qiaoan gave high praise to Shen Yanming's lunch, saying that Shen Yanming had exceeded his usual standards.
Looking at Bi Qiaoan's happy face, Shen Yanming gave himself a mental thumbs up.
After finishing their meal and clearing away the tableware, Bi Qiaoan pulled Shen Yanming into the planting space.
At this moment, only half of the fifty acres of land has been cultivated.
Currently, about fifteen acres of land in the space are planted with various grains, two acres with various vegetables, one acre with flowers, and the remaining seven acres are planted with fruit trees that are already laden with fruit in three acres and with fruit trees that are already laden with fruit in the remaining four acres. The remaining four acres are planted with cuttings of fruit trees that have survived, but the trees are still young and have not yet borne fruit.
Because she felt the connection between herself and the space deepen in the early morning, Bi Qiaoan wanted to try to collect the fruit with her mind.
Bi Qiaoan walked to an apple tree, looked up at the big, red apple at the top of the tree, and silently chanted, "Come down, come into my hands, quick, quick, quick!"
The apple seemed to be blown by the wind, swaying from side to side, and then suddenly fell down.
Bang! Bi Qiaoan covered her nose and squatted on the ground, almost crying. It hurt so much!
Bi Qiaoan secretly glanced at Shen Yanming in the wheat field. Hmm, that man was fiddling with the harvester that had just been released, unaware of her own predicament.
So, Bi Qiaoan secretly moved her small steps and hid behind the apple tree, making sure that Shen Yanming couldn't see her even if he looked over. Then she covered her nose, stomped her feet, and wailed silently.
Shen Yanming had noticed the situation earlier. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bi Qiaoan's behavior out of the corner of his eye. He shook his head and got into the harvester to harvest the wheat first.
Bi Qiaoan waited behind the apple tree for a while until her nose stopped hurting before picking fruit with her small basket.
The fruit trees in the space are not very tall, and they mainly grow horizontally. Fortunately, when they were planted, the spacing between each fruit tree was large, so Bi Qiaoan could pick most of the fruit by simply standing on tiptoe and raising her arm.
Bi Qiaoan picked up the apple that had hit her earlier, thinking to herself, "Newton was hit and discovered gravity, Steve Jobs was hit and changed the world, and Bi Qiaoan almost got a nosebleed after being hit like that..."
Bi Qiaoan sighed, got up and picked the apples she could reach from the tree, putting them into a cardboard box in the center of the orchard.
After picking the apples, Bi Qiaoan picked a mango and smelled it. It smelled so good, so sweet and happy. Bi Qiaoan gently squeezed it with her hand. It was hard but slightly soft. It seemed that the space could keep the fruit in its best condition after it ripened.
After the mangoes were picked, there were lychees, cherries, loquats, and so on. Most of them could not be bumped or squeezed. Bi Qiaoan put similar fruits into a cardboard box, filled it up, sealed the box, and wrote the types of fruits on the box with a marker.
In the orchard, the ten cardboard boxes that Shen Yanming had prepared in advance were quickly filled. When Bi Qiaoan looked up, she saw that Shen Yanming had already finished harvesting the wheat and was now harvesting soybeans.
Bi Qiaoan didn't call out to Shen Yanming; she simply placed the picked fruit on the ground, arranging a pile under each tree...
When Shen Yanming came to find Bi Qiaoan, Bi Qiaoan looked up and saw that half of the grain fields had been harvested. Looking at her own field, she realized that she hadn't even finished harvesting half of it. Bi Qiaoan pouted and asked somewhat unwillingly, "Is this the difference between manual labor and machines?"
Shen Yanming took a tissue to wipe the sweat from Bi Qiaoan's forehead. "Yeah, they're all all-in-one machines. It takes about twenty minutes to harvest one acre. I've been harvesting for three hours already."
Shen Yanming found an open space in the orchard, took out a hanging lounge chair, a coffee table, a pot of tea, and several plates of snacks from his storage space, placed them on the coffee table, and waved to Bi Qiaoan, "Come and rest for a while, look how tired you are!"
Bi Qiaoan didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, she patted the person next to her and said, "You should rest for a while too."
Shen Yanming shook his head. "I've been sitting in the car the whole time, so this is a good opportunity to stand up and stretch."
Bi Qiaoan didn't insist and leisurely drank her tea.
Shen Yanming first put the ten cardboard boxes in the center of the orchard into his storage space, then put out a bunch of cardboard boxes, put the fruit under the trees into the boxes, and finally stored them in his storage space.
Half an hour had passed by the time Shen Yanming finished collecting all the fruit under the fruit tree.
Shen Yanming sat down next to Bi Qiaoan, picked up his cup and drank a cup of slightly cool tea. "Let's go out first. It's already five o'clock. We'll probably have to go collect the desserts later. We can come back in and pick the rest after dinner."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and pulled Shen Yanming out of the space.
Bi Qiaoan picked up her phone and saw that, sure enough, Manager Bai had sent a message saying that a batch of desserts had been prepared and could be picked up at her door.
"Looks like we won't have time to buy an oven today. Let's go pick up the desserts first," Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming, pointing to the message on her phone.
After changing their clothes, the two drove out and arrived at Sweet Pastry Shop in no time.
Store manager Bai and the waiters helped put the packaged desserts into the car, filling the trunk and back seats. They also confirmed that they would come back at the same time the next day to pick up the second batch, and the order would be completed in about a week.
