"Okay, you can ask around for me. If we can reach an agreement, great; if not, that's fine too. Also, could you please help me find out if there's anything else of value?"
"You mean?"
"As for food, they're all foodies, so I doubt they'll want anything else."
"Okay, I'll ask around, but the chances are slim."
"It's okay, just give me a definite answer in the end."
"Okay, I'll call you back in a couple of days."
"By the way, the labor service team is recruiting soon, so you should prepare well. I heard the standards will be higher this time, so it probably won't be easy to get in."
"Okay! I'll ask around. Thanks!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan returned to their space to roast some coffee beans themselves.
Although I can't sell them directly to my colleagues, it's still okay to take out a small amount for everyone to try.
There's also Meng Wu. Although he hasn't had much contact with him, Shen Yanming still keeps him in mind, wondering if there's any way to control the abscess without anyone noticing.
However, after thinking it over, I realized that I still had to rely on the spiritual spring water.
But he couldn't very well give people the spiritual spring water to drink or apply to their skin; that would be too obvious.
If there's no good solution, let's put it aside for now.
Seeing his worried expression, Bi Qiaoan said, "Do you think that if it's a fruit rich in spiritual energy, it might have a similar effect to spiritual spring water?"
Shen Yanming was taken aback, as if he had grasped something, and hurriedly asked, "What are you thinking? Tell me in detail?"
"I was thinking, since the mountain is rich in spiritual energy, could we plant some ordinary fruit trees there? Maybe the fruit that grows under the nourishment of spiritual energy will have the effect of improving health?"
Shen Yanming laughed out loud after hearing this, then realized he was really quite stupid.
With so many spiritual fruits on the mountain, he subconsciously assumed that ordinary fruit trees couldn't be planted. But he hadn't even tried.
Actually, there was another point that even Shen Yanming himself hadn't realized: he didn't want to damage the original environment of the mountain.
“Let’s go up the mountain now. You should think about what to plant,” Bi Qiaoan said.
Shen Yanming thought about it and decided to plant some watermelons, strawberries, grapes, and passion fruit, which could bear fruit in a year.
Bi Qiaoan had no objection. She used her consciousness to pluck a few sections of grapevines and dig up a few strawberry seedlings that were in bloom.
Shen Yanming, on the other hand, took high-quality fruit seeds directly from the storage area.
After settling their two little ones in, the couple carried the empty plastic bucket up the mountain.
Since we're going to make this trip anyway, we can't just come back empty-handed.
Because they were worried that the two babies would wake up, the two of them moved quickly and reached the top of the mountain in only two-thirds of the usual time.
Then they split up and acted separately.
Shen Yanming went to fetch the spiritual spring water, as it was a physically demanding task.
Bi Qiaoan dug a hole in the empty land the two had found and neatly buried the watermelon seeds and strawberry seedlings inside.
As for the passion fruit seeds and grapevines, they are planted around the large tree.
Since the two didn't plan to build a scaffold on the mountain, they had to use the natural plants here as supports.
Perhaps Bi Qiaoan was slow, or perhaps Shen Yanming had brought a lot of seeds. So, while Old Shen had already finished fetching the spiritual spring water and returned, Bi Qiaoan was still huffing and puffing as she dug the hole and buried the soil.
It's strange, but the place up and down the mountain is like two different worlds.
They can freely use their consciousness to plant trees and catch rabbits at the foot of the mountain, but once they get to this mountain, they can only rely on their hands to work like ordinary people.
I don't know if they've cultivated some kind of technique that allows them to control the plants and animals on the mountain from a distance.
Bi Qiaoan's mind was wandering freely, but her hands were still moving mechanically.
If I hadn't been so close to her, I wouldn't have noticed that her eyes were glazed over and that she wasn't paying any attention to farming.
Shen Yanming looked at the remaining seeds and smiled. He secretly took them away, only to see Bi Qiaoan still pinch them in the same spot, then dig a hole, put them in, and cover them with some soil.
Shen Yanming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The laughter startled Bi Qiaoan from her reverie. Still confused, she asked, "When did you get back?"
Shen Yanming didn't answer, but pointed to the small mound of earth in front of her, "Take a look, are there any seeds in there?"
Without hesitation, Bi Qiaoan replied, "Yes, of course! How could there not be? I've planted seeds in every single hole!"
Seeing that the other party did not believe her, she squatted down to dig a hole, but the more she dug, the more something seemed wrong. How could the seeds have disappeared into thin air?
Then he realized what Shen Yanming had been laughing about.
So she noticed I hadn't planted any seeds! Why didn't she remind me then? Why did she have to wait until she'd already buried the seed before speaking up?
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming, thinking to herself that she had been distracted and had really lost face!
Then, without saying a word, he went to dig up the other small mounds of earth. He was worried that there might not have been any seeds in those pits either.
Shen Yanming smiled and stopped her, saying, "Alright, alright, we didn't put any seeds in this one pit, but we put them in all the others."
"You saw it?"
Shen Yanming...
I just arrived, but I don't want you to redo your work.
So he nodded: "I see, no, it's not there. Thank you for your hard work, I'll do the rest!"
Bi Qiaoan didn't stand on ceremony with him and handed him the small shovel in her hand: "That's enough. We have so much land down the mountain, there's no need to plant too much here. It would be troublesome if we couldn't transport it down when it's ripe."
Shen Yanming nodded and began digging a hole and burying the soil.
He was much more efficient and energetic than Bi Qiaoan. In just a few minutes, he had sown all the seeds in the bag.
"Alright, let's go down the mountain!" Shen Yanming patted the dirt off his hands, wrapped the small shovel in a plastic bag, and put it in his backpack. Carrying two plastic buckets, he said to Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan hummed in agreement, looked at her empty hands, and tried to take a bucket from Shen Yanming, but he dodged her.
"Honey, leave the heavy lifting to your husband. You can just be a cute mascot and accompany him down the mountain."
Bi Qiaoan pouted, "Fine! Since you begged so much, your wife agreed!"
Despite saying she didn't care about anything anymore, Bi Qiaoan still put her hand on one of the plastic buckets when she came down the mountain, trying to help Shen Yanming share some of the burden.
Shen Yanming really wanted to say, "You're making me even more tired." But thinking that it was his wife's good intention, he silently held back.
Upon reaching the bottom of the mountain, Bi Qiaoan immediately used her consciousness to put the two buckets of spiritual spring water and Shen Yanming's backpack back into the mobile villa.
Then she massaged his shoulders and legs, saying sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work, honey!"
Shen Yanming was very pleased, so he carried Bi Qiaoan back to the mobile villa.
Bi Qiaoan...
I really didn't mean for you to carry me. I just wanted to help you relax your muscles after carrying such a heavy load for so long.
However, it's not bad to have someone carry you; consider it a free rickshaw ride.
