Chapter 20 Blood-Replenishing Honey
Luo Qing took out five stones and passed them to Mu Qimeng, asking him to see if they could be exchanged for space stones, and the price could be negotiated.
They also gave away some of the freshly harvested weeds from the space, unless the other party's items were of high quality, in exchange for wood, nails, and cloth.
Then, twenty more were sent to Mu Qimeng, Fang Tai, and Mo Ming each.
While making lunch, Luo Qing took out the ingredients, intending to prepare food for the competition as well.
Luo Qing's movements were skillful and swift, as if she were performing a silent dance.
She took out all the ingredients one by one and arranged them neatly on the counter, as if a colorful scroll was slowly unfolding.
Her fingers deftly moved among the various ingredients, sometimes cutting, sometimes stirring, each movement precise and powerful.
Luo Qing gently placed the chopped vegetables into the pot. As the heat gradually increased, the vegetables danced happily in the oil, making sizzling sounds, as if telling the story of the joy of cooking.
She added various seasonings quickly and accurately, each stroke like a painter's brush on a canvas, precise and full of emotion.
As time went by, an enticing aroma gradually filled the air.
A satisfied smile appeared on Luo Qing's face. She knew that these carefully prepared meals would provide her with energy and mental comfort for the competition.
As soon as she finished tidying up, Mu Qimeng contacted her.
"Luo Qing, all those barnyard grasses have been sold, mostly in exchange for the timber and nails you requested. However, some people want to trade them for seeds. Do you want them?"
"No problem, I need seeds right now. If you can get some, please collect a lot for me." Luo Qing had just finished harvesting the grapes and millet in her space and stored them in her backpack today, and hadn't had time to replant them yet. Now that she had the seeds, she could plant them all at once.
Thinking of the vast tracts of land in the space waiting to be planted, Luo Qing wished she could exchange for more seeds.
Soon, Mu Qimeng sent over a bunch of seeds and said that some other people also wanted to exchange, but they didn't have heating equipment, so they didn't want the raw barnyard grass and asked if we had any ripe ones.
Luo Qing thought for a while. She had to go plant some seeds, and Fu Fu had just said that the Bee Queen was looking for her, so she really didn't have time.
So she decided to collaborate with Mu Qimeng.
"Mu Qimeng, do you have anyone working for you?"
"Of course there are. They were all very loyal and reliable when I trained them before I came to the game." Mu Qimeng said proudly when she mentioned this.
"Do you have any fire sources over there?"
"Yes, you do want to cooperate with us?" Mu Qimeng guessed something.
"Yes, I'll provide the barnyard grass, and you'll process it. How about that? Then the price of the processed barnyard grass will be increased by 20% compared to the price of the raw barnyard grass."
"Of course, there's no problem."
"How about we split the price 70/30?" Luo Qing settled on a reasonable profit-sharing arrangement. After all, her space could produce a batch every three days, so the cost wasn't high.
"This profit sharing is too favorable for us, so I'll thank you on behalf of my men."
"I have only one request: don't tell anyone about me. Not even your brothers."
Mu Qimeng agreed without hesitation.
Luo Qing gave Mu Qimeng another batch of millet, telling him to ask her for more if he needed more.
Having reached an agreement, Luo Qing prepared to return to her space to plant seeds. Fu Fu, who had been quietly helping her while she worked, also entered the space.
"Sister, let me help you see what kind of seed it is."
"Fufu is amazing, she knows everything." Luckily, Fufu has been with her and helping her. Otherwise, Luo Qing can't imagine what kind of personality she would develop if she stayed alone like this for a long time.
She took out a large tray and poured all the seeds that Mu Qimeng had sent onto it.
The seeds tumbled in the tray, making a soft rustling sound, as if telling the secrets of life.
Luo Qing bent down and carefully observed the seeds. They were all different in shape, size and color. Some were round like pearls, some were flat like cakes, some were dark black like ink, and some were golden yellow like the sun.
Fufu stood beside Luo Qing, her small hand gently pointing at the seeds on the tray. Her voice was clear and rhythmic, like a beautiful melody.
"This is a soybean. It's round and pale yellow," Fufu said, pointing to one of the seeds. Luo Qing looked closely and, sure enough, the seed shimmered with a faint yellow luster in the sunlight, its shape plump and round.
"These are wheat seeds. They are small and exquisite, and their golden color shines in the sunlight, symbolizing the hope of a bountiful harvest." As Fufu spoke, Luo Qing seemed to see a vast wheat field swaying in the breeze, with golden waves of wheat rolling with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
"These are soybean seeds. They are flat and plump, with a deep color like the night sky, containing the secrets of life." Luo Qing imagined the soybeans taking root and sprouting in the field, growing lush and leafy, and eventually bearing abundant fruit.
...
Luo Qing and Fu Fu worked together seamlessly, gently scattering various seeds at specific intervals and depths into the fertile soil.
Their movements were light and delicate, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.
Seeing this, the sacred tree also waved its branches, seemingly cheering on the sowing.
The branches gently brushed the ground, creating a light breeze that softly covered the seeds beneath the soil, as if tenderly embracing them.
Sunlight filters through the treetops, dappling the earth and bringing warmth and vitality to this newly born land.
Luo Qing and Fu Fu stood to the side, quietly looking at this land, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope.
They knew that these seeds would take root, sprout, and grow strong on this land, eventually bearing abundant fruit and bringing them endless joy and satisfaction.
After all the plants were planted, the divine tree began to water them, and Luo Qing led Fu Fu to the Bee Queen Qiu Xiang.
When they arrived at the sea of flowers, Luo Qing and Fu Fu were deeply shocked by the sight before them.
Under the sunlight, countless bees are busy among the flowers, flying or resting, collecting nectar or making wine, creating a vivid and beautiful scene.
Luo Qing couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of nature and the vigor of life. Standing by the sea of flowers, she quietly admired this busy yet orderly scene.
The busy bees shimmered with golden light in the sunlight, creating a beautiful and colorful scene against the backdrop of vibrant flowers.
Luo Qing could almost hear their cheerful songs, songs that expressed their love for life and their passion for their work.
Fufu excitedly wandered through the sea of flowers, sometimes chasing bees, sometimes picking up a flower, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
Her clear and melodious laughter added even more vitality to this sea of flowers.
Queen Bee Qiu Xiang flew lightly to Luo Qing's side, her wings shimmering with golden light in the sunlight, as if carrying the fragrance of the entire sea of flowers.
She smiled and said to Luo Qing, "Aren't they adorable? Each bee has its own unique personality and charm."
Luo Qing nodded, her gaze following the busy bees, her heart filled with awe and admiration.
She exclaimed, "Yes, they are really cute. And they put in so much effort to collect nectar and make honey, it's really not easy for them."
Qiu Xiang gently flapped her wings, making a melodious sound.
She said with deep feeling, "Yes, they are my pride and my motivation to live. I will do my best to lead the bees to survive in the game and create a safe and harmonious home for them."
Luo Qing was moved by Qiu Xiang's determination and persistence. Looking into Qiu Xiang's eyes, which were full of wisdom and resolve, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She smiled and said, "I believe you can do it."
Qiu Xiang took out a ball of honey that was flowing with a mysterious golden light. "This is what I made these past two days. If you eat it in a critical moment, it can restore 50% of your blood. You must keep it safe."
Luo Qing solemnly accepted it with both hands, "I will definitely work hard to keep the Bee Clan's most precious treasure."
