Chapter 194 The Life of the Scholar's Daughter (22)



Tang Baozhu didn't stay by the pond for too long. The lotus flowers always looked the same, so she picked a few lotus flowers and went back to the house.

I took a pretty bottle, filled it with water, and then put the lotus flowers in it. The flowers stayed fresh for a few more days, and the room instantly smelled of lotus fragrance.

Sitting in the room, I could almost feel that the air was a little better.

She now hopes that the space can be upgraded to be bigger and bigger, and that she can dig a pond in the space and grow some lotus flowers. She also wants to find ways to make the space have things that are not in the space.

Before I time-traveled, I remember that lotus leaf-wrapped meat was a famous dish in my hometown. I was planning to ask Brother Li to pick some of the lotus leaves that weren't damaged and dry them before dinner to make a local specialty.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. I can only comfort myself by telling myself not to worry. I definitely won't be able to eat it this year, since I can't eat meat for a year. Fortunately, I can still eat it next year.

I took out my embroidery to pass the time, and when it was time for dinner, I told Brother Li to pick some lotus leaves and dry them, because I would need them later.

Li Jun didn't ask Baozhu what she wanted to do with the lotus leaves. He simply nodded in agreement without saying a word. As long as Baozhu wanted something and he had it, he would agree to it.

After dinner, Chunxue and Qingliu carried the boiled water into the side room, which was for Tang Baozhu to bathe in.

"You should all go back and rest. We can clean up the water tomorrow."

"yes."

Tang Baozhu went to the side room and added some immortal spring water to the bathwater. Her body could no longer expel impurities, and she felt that her current physique was like ice skin and jade bones. The power of the immortal spring water was unimaginable.

Furthermore, my superpowers are constantly operating within my body, making me feel like I'll never get sick in my entire life; I'm incredibly healthy.

The next morning, after having breakfast very early, the four of them prepared to go to the orchard on the mountain.

Li Jun led the way, explaining the orchard to Baozhu in great detail as they walked, including the types and quantities of various fruits grown on the mountain.

Tang Baozhu became increasingly interested in the small hill in front of her as she listened, but when she arrived at the hill, she found that the fruit trees had just been planted and were not very big at all.

All I can say is that we were incredibly excited when we arrived, but extremely disappointed when we got there.

However, some trees still bore fruit, with a few fruits hanging precariously on the small twigs.

Li Jun also felt that the scenery here wasn't very good, which might disappoint Baozhu.

“Baozhu, don’t be fooled by how little it looks now. In a couple of years, when the tree grows up, there will be more fruit than you can eat.”

“Brother Li is right. When we sell the fruit, we should be able to get a high price. Nowadays, very few people specialize in growing fruit. Even if your orchard isn’t unique, it’s still quite rare. It will definitely fetch a high price in the future.”

Nowadays, farmers are barely able to get enough to eat, or are just barely above the poverty line. For them, fruit, which is not a necessity, is optional.

Only those with good means, or gentlemen from county towns, would think of having fruit after a meal.

So there's still a good market for fruit.

“Sister Baozhu is right. I also thought of this after careful consideration.”

Tang Baozhu looked around and felt it was a pity that the orchard couldn't generate any income at the moment.

After thinking about it, I think it would be a good idea to use a bamboo fence to enclose the area for raising chickens or ducks.

“Brother Li, we can fence off this forest to raise chickens, and we can also fence off the pond to raise ducks. This way we can start making money sooner, instead of waiting two years to start making money.”

Although large-scale breeding may lead to disease outbreaks, you can prepare your own medicinal herbs or give them water infused with spiritual energy, so you shouldn't have to worry about such things happening.

Li Jun had considered this issue, but large-scale poultry farming was prone to disease, so he didn't consider it. After all, if they got infected, they would all die, and the losses would be too great.

“Sister Baozhu, I’m worried about the poultry getting sick, that’s why I haven’t raised them.”

“Brother Li, if you trust me, go ahead and raise them. I have a prescription that can make medicine for the poultry. You won’t have to worry about them getting sick after giving it to them.”

"Sister Baozhu, are you telling the truth?"

Tang Baozhu silently rolled her eyes. "If you don't believe me, then forget it."

“Don’t be angry, Baozhu. I didn’t disbelieve you. Since you have the recipe, I will raise it.”

"Don't worry, we'll be family sooner or later, I would never betray you."

Upon hearing this, Li Jun grinned foolishly, probably thinking about living together in the future, and couldn't stop smiling.

“Since there’s nothing to see, let’s go back. Brother Li, you should also think about how to plan the mountain and the pond.”

Li Jun is a man of action; he nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll take you down the mountain first, and then we'll prepare for raising ducks and chickens."

Back at the house at the foot of the mountain, I was covered in sweat. It was too embarrassing to ask them to boil water for me to take a bath in broad daylight, so I just asked them to bring me a basin of water to wipe myself down.

After everyone had left, she went back into the space to wash herself thoroughly before coming out and taking out her embroidery to begin preparing to embroider.

Tang Baozhu knew that Li Jun would be very busy in the next few days, and she didn't want to cause him any trouble, so she decided to stay in her room by herself.

Anyway, she wasn't idle; she spent her mornings embroidering and her afternoons practicing calligraphy.

The timing was perfect, and the days were vibrant and fulfilling. Even living alone, one could pass the time, let alone having Chunxue and Qingliu by one's side.

When I get tired, I can go outside for a walk and give my eyes a rest.

And so, the four of them stayed at the estate for a month. Tang Baozhu finished embroidering a third of the Guanyin image, and Li Jun's chickens and ducks were also doing very well.

The scale has grown larger and larger. Because they have consumed the spiritual water given to them by Tang Baozhu, they are all very healthy and are eating more and more food.

Fortunately, the feed they received didn't go to waste; all of them grew bigger than a normal one-month-old. I think they should be able to lay eggs in another month or so.

At that time, Brother Li's estate will generate a steady stream of income, which will make his finances a little easier.
