The Xijie River flows southwards, its flow never ceasing.
The sugarcane fields along the riverbank were growing rapidly, and there were a few small houses in the distance, but no one was inside.
The three horses carrying the group were almost at the camp. When the camp appeared on the horizon, Chen Yang's tension eased.
Before he knew it, the campsite had become his haven.
From afar, a figure came running towards them. It was Lucky Star; it knew Chen Yang had returned.
Chen Yang dismounted and embraced the European Emperor.
"Here, I've got something good for you."
He handed a piece of salted dried fish to the European Emperor, who happily chewed it.
Everyone in the camp stood at the camp gate watching them. Chen Liu ran up and threw himself into Chen Yang's arms. Chen Yang carried him back to the camp.
"Lord of the Realm, you've returned from your expedition!" Li Su'er said with a smile.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I'm back."
Everyone watched this scene with smiles, but only Mo Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, though she quickly recovered.
That evening, as usual, everyone held a bonfire party and drank until midnight before leaving. Even Chen Liu secretly took a sip of fruit wine.
The next day, Chen Yang went to the mill. Some of the wheat that had been dried in the accelerated time zone had already entered the mill to be hulled.
The windmill and watermill worked simultaneously, one for hulling and the other for grinding. After being hulled by the windmill, the wheat was sorted and then ground into flour by the watermill.
The powder that was finally ground was not as white or as fine as it appears in real life, but it was still quite good.
They tried making steamed buns and meat buns directly in the mill's kitchen, and the taste was excellent, almost indistinguishable from those made from real flour.
Although wheat cannot be eaten directly like rice, the flour and pasta dishes made from it are one of the most important staple foods, no less important than rice.
After confirming that the windmill mill could handle the wheat milling work, Chen Yang returned to the camp and began planning the expansion of the time acceleration zone.
The time acceleration zone can be expanded three times, but the range is determined by Chen Yang himself; it can be expanded eastward or westward as he sees fit.
Although this expansion was not in their plans, everyone expected it to happen, since Chen Yang had already said that his abilities would increase when he said he was still an alien.
When the camp was designed, they had already left room for expansion.
"Chen Yang, this is a planning map I drew. It's a bit ugly, but please bear with it." Xu Meng handed over a piece of paper with her drawing on it.
Since most of the area will be developed into a breeding area, the design was entrusted to Xu Meng.
"Look, the expanded area has been almost entirely converted into a breeding area. This area is all buildings, enclosing the time acceleration zone. However, the eastern area has no walls, only a roof. It is usually used as a stable. After the expansion, we only need to build a fence."
"Are you planning to completely renovate the existing area?" Chen Yang asked.
"Yes, it's divided into three parts: one part for drying, one part for storage, and the other part for planting some plants," Xu Meng said.
"Okay, then I'll expand the time acceleration zone according to your diagram."
"Hmm, there's no time limit for the micro-world this time, right? We want to finish building the livestock sheds before covering them with the time acceleration zone. This is a lot of work, so we can't waste everyone's lifespan."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "There are no restrictions this time, let's build the livestock sheds first."
The livestock sheds were also designed. Due to the special nature of the time acceleration zone, the two livestock sheds were divided into several areas with different levels of shading to ensure the animals could sleep.
Once the livestock sheds are completed, we will be raising a lot of animals, and we plan to build a special shed for the sheep, which are the most important of them.
The first two sheep are pregnant again, and their lambs have grown up. It is estimated that in about six months, the number of sheep will be enough to make sweaters for all of them, which will be just enough to get through the winter.
The chickens and ducks have all been replaced; the new generation is less wild and much easier to raise.
Chen Yang has also decided on the items he will bring this time.
Because the weight and size requirements have been relaxed, more items can be brought along.
What he was going to bring in this time was a set of audio equipment.
This time, there was no need for cloud-based audio equipment; Chen Yang directly found a high-quality speaker that perfectly met his requirements.
That way, everyone can listen to music when they have gatherings.
Now, Chen Yang is bringing things into the micro-world with less and less consideration for practicality, and more focus on how to improve the lives of the world's inhabitants.
This time, there's no need to consider solar power for the speakers; the power supply can charge them, and a full charge can last for four hours.
Besides the tea cake he promised Guo Zifeng, Chen Yang also brought out a large piece of jade from the Micro Realm. He planned to sell the jade to raise funds for the Micro Realm.
Having owned a jade mine, they were not worried about money at all. Grandpa Yun said that the mine was of high quality.
The old man had a set of jade chess pieces made for himself in real life, and he was overjoyed with them. He often took them out to show off to his chess friends, so Xing Tu is also preparing to make a set of chess pieces.
Chen Yang plans to calculate the income and expenses of the micro-world separately, since previously he or the world's residents had been paying for it themselves.
Spending money for the Microverse is of course no big deal, whether it's Chen Yang or other citizens of the Microverse, but it's best to make distinctions where necessary.
Chen Yang hated bookkeeping the most, so he handed the bookkeeping job over to Wang Bing.
Wang Bing, on the other hand, was eager to do more work. The work at the inn was too easy, and he felt incredibly guilty taking the salary.
Chen Yang was a complete hands-off manager, not only doing his job thoroughly but also leading his employees to slack off.
The staff at Weijie Inn are only responsible for greeting guests and cooking, and occasionally cleaning. They don't have to worry about anything else, such as advertising, running errands for guests, or taking guests out. They are extremely free and easy.
And the fact that they could still receive a salary made them feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, Ye Wu was an exception; he accepted his salary with a clear conscience and sometimes even felt it was too little.
Because Li Su'er and Jiang Yining both receive a share of the tea sales, and Wang Bing also receives a share of the profits from the Micro Realm Inn, Ye Wu's salary is the lowest among them.
Although it was the lowest, it was still a little over ten thousand, so you can imagine how high the other two were.
The Microworld Inn earns over 20,000 yuan a day, and tea sales are also very good, especially recently. Guo Zifeng simply switched to a batch of better tea; otherwise, it would be a disservice to the reputation of the Microworld Inn.
After deducting his salary and other expenses, Chen Yang still has a profit of nearly 400,000 yuan each month, so he doesn't really care about money anymore.
Money is something you only need when you have enough. If you want more, you have to pay a price. So he doesn't mind raising wages so that everyone can share the good fortune. That's great, and the inn's employees won't have to worry about money anymore.
