Chapter 011 Rose Gold
Late April is a good season for growing rice.
Bai Su remembered Garcia's words and went to the kitchen to check his rice seeds as soon as he got up.
Then he was dumbfounded.
"Alan, Gabi." Bai Su held onto the door frame and waved his hands tremblingly. "Can anyone explain to me what's going on here?"
Two little tigers: "Meow——"
Bai Su: “…”
Bai Su was speechless: "Alright, stop it, you two can't be relied on at all."
He drove the two little tigers rolling around in the rice pile into the living room and ordered them to clean themselves up quickly. Then he came to his senses and looked at the mountain of seeds in front of him that almost filled the entire kitchen and even flowed into the dining room. He couldn't help but gasp.
At least five thousand kilograms of seeds, who wouldn’t be confused?
Bai Su was confused anyway, muttering to himself, "Is this the power of magic? It's so terrifying."
He squatted down, picked up a small pile of seeds and looked at them carefully. He was surprised to find that each of them had grown tender white sprouts.
Bai Su rubbed his eyes in disbelief - even in the laboratory before, it was impossible to achieve such a high germination rate of almost 100%.
He grabbed several handfuls of seeds and checked them, and found that every seed had sprouted.
With the help of magic, he now probably has hundreds of millions of seeds. If they are made into rice, they can last for at least two years!
Bai Su suddenly felt that his fifty-acre farm wasn't that big after all...
He had previously worried about having too few seeds, and that they wouldn't be enough to plant, but now he was worried about what to do with the extra seeds. Generally speaking, slightly sprouted rice is edible, and these sprouts don't significantly affect the nutritional value of the rice. But thinking about the impending global food crisis, Bai Su felt that these extra seeds were just a drop in the bucket.
Maybe I should ask Keos and Garcia, they might have a good idea.
Bai Su made up his mind. At this time, the two little tigers shook out the seeds from their fur, changed into the appearance of little boys and came to the kitchen door.
Bai Su pinched the two children's soft cheeks and said, "Okay, kids, maybe you would like to help the adults with some work?"
He took out five clean sheets from the closet and asked the two children to join him. He used a basin to transfer the seeds piled in the kitchen onto the sheets, and then tied the four corners of the sheets to complete the rough packaging.
Soon, with the joint efforts of the family of three, the seeds that flooded the entire kitchen were packaged into five portions.
The two children were so tired that they lay on the sofa, their little bellies rising and falling and making gurgling sounds.
Bai Su was also tired, but he still cheered himself up and quickly made a stew for breakfast and asked the two children to eat.
"It's delicious!" Gabi was still the same as always, with her entire face almost buried in the bowl.
Although Gabi is the younger brother, he looks even fatter and has a rounder face than his brother. Obviously, this kid is a foodie.
Before crossing over, Bai Su was from Yunnan Province. Yunnan cuisine is heavy in oil, spicy and salty. Even after crossing over to another world, there were no suitable ingredients for Bai Su to display his culinary skills. When he made Western food, he still maintained the habit of adding seasonings.
Therefore, the dishes he cooked were delicious not only to the little foodie Gabi, but also to Allen, who was a bit picky about food.
Seeing that the two little tigers were almost finished eating, Bai Su decided to tell them what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, Bai Su spent an entire day with Keos outside the forest. Despite the massive force of the security team, they still couldn't find the snow leopard half-orc. During that time, Keos asked Bai Su a lot of detailed questions about the two tiger cubs and the hybrid rice yield. Bai Su, aside from remaining tight-lipped about the time travel, opened his mouth to Keos and shared nearly everything he knew.
Similarly, Keos also told Bai Su the process of adopting two little tigers.
And Bai Su was about to tell them about this matter——
"Alan, Gabi." Bai Su said gently, "Are you willing to become a member of this family? Brother plans to formally adopt you."
Hearing this, Gabi licked her lips and secretly looked at her brother's expression.
Two days ago, when I slept in the same bed with Bai Su for the first time, the two little tigers secretly bit my ears.
Gabi told his brother that he liked this handsome older brother who could cook delicious meals, give them baths, and kiss him gently.
But he missed his father and mother very much, and missed the days of rolling around in the forest with other little orcs.
The brown-furred tiger cub licked his brother's nose. During these days of exile, he had actually realized that his parents might not be around anymore. Even Uncle Eli (the snow leopard half-orc) just said, "I have something to go out for. You two stay here and don't move," and then walked away.
The two little tigers had been hungry in the farm warehouse for two days and could not bear it anymore. Only then did Allen realize that he and his brother had really become orphans.
Alan took a risk with his brother and broke into the farmer's house to find some food. Although they were caught by the farmer because of their clumsiness, fortunately they escaped without any harm. This kind, gentle and beautiful farmer did not hurt them. Instead, she was willing to take them in and cooked delicious meals for the two brothers.
Allen felt that there was no one better than Bai Su, and he was willing to be formally adopted by Bai Su and become Bai Su's kitten.
So Allen quietly squeezed his brother's chubby hand under the table, looked at the smiling Bai Su, and said firmly: "Brother, we do!"
·
At ten o'clock in the morning, the handsome centaur with light brown fur rang the doorbell on time.
Yes, that's right. What makes Bai Su extremely jealous is that Mr. Keos, a civil servant and middle-level leader in this world, has two days of vacation and one day of compensatory leave every week.
Today is Keos's last day of vacation this week, and they have agreed to go to the Vatican together to retrieve Bai Su's gold cake.
Although Bai Su had just told them what happened yesterday, the two little tigers were still very afraid of strangers. Bai Su touched their little heads and did not force the two children to meet Keos.
After giving the two little tigers the usual instructions for their safety at home, Bai Su went out and headed to the Vatican with Keos who was waiting outside.
The two walked in silence.
"Do you want me to carry you across?" asked Keos.
Bai Su's farm was in the eastern suburbs, not far from the Vatican. However, he was thinking about seeds along the way and inevitably got distracted, so Keos mistakenly thought he was tired.
"Hmm? Oh, thank you. No thanks." Bai Su came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Keos. "I'm not tired. I was just thinking about the seeds. You don't know how surprised I was when I woke up this morning and saw a sea of seeds filling the entire kitchen."
He naturally brought up the topic, and Keos felt the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"Really?" The handsome centaur captain chuckled so charmingly that Bai Su was almost stunned. "It seems that the new Holy Son has great power. If he were the high priest, he could only achieve this at best."
Although Keos did not see the rice seeds piled up in the entire kitchen with his own eyes, he had already imagined how spectacular the scene was from Bai Su's dancing gestures.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted just packing the seeds and cleaning the kitchen," the black-haired young man complained. "Gaxi... His Majesty the Holy Son is so awesome."
Soon, the two arrived at the Vatican.
"Hello, we want to meet His Majesty the Holy Son." Bai Su said to the priest on duty.
"The Son of God is praying in the temple. Please follow me." The priest led Keos and Bai Su through the long corridor and came to the palace they were in yesterday.
But this time, the priest indicated that Keos could go in with Bai Su.
Bai Su felt that no matter how many times he came, he would be shocked by the exquisiteness and splendor of this palace.
"Good day, farmer, Captain Keos." Garcia signaled them not to salute, and asked the servants waiting on the side to bring the gold cakes over.
Only then did Bai Su realize that there was more than just Garcia in the hall.
He picked up the gold cake from the exquisite tray, looked at it carefully against the light, and was surprised to find that after a whole day of blessing from Garcia, the successfully enchanted gold cake had turned from 999 pure gold to 18K rose gold.
When he looked up again, he saw Garcia's holy face with a hint of pride.
Bai Su: “…”
Bai Su asked, somewhat baffled, "Your Majesty, may I ask what kind of enchantment you have applied to this piece of yellow... no, this piece of rose gold?"
Garcia maintained her holy and beautiful appearance and waved to Bai Su.
Bai Su saw that Keos and his servants had consciously retreated a little, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally moved forward.
Garcia whispered in his ear, "Do you know how to play Landlord? Super double!"
Bai Su's pupils trembled!
And Keos, who was standing not far away, saw all of this.
Although he could not hear the Son of God's whispers, seeing Bai Su's shocked expression and the piece of gold in his hand that had turned pink, Keos concluded that the Son of God must have attached some kind of profound, powerful magic that could not be known to outsiders to it.
You know, even if the high priest himself cast a spell, it would be difficult to change the color of gold, but the Son of God turned Bai Su's gold into pink!
Keos increasingly felt that the new Son of God's power was unfathomable.
On the other side——
Bai Su: "Why did it turn into rose gold? Did you know that 18K gold will depreciate in value?"
Garcia: "Well, you don't understand. This enchantment process is very profound and it's hard for me to explain it to you. Just be content. 18K rose gold is so beautiful. Big brands like to use it!"
Bai Su: "What do you know? Pure gold is obviously more valuable!"
Bai Su was going crazy. This gold cake of his was made from 50 grams of jewelry, and it had shrunk by 25%. According to the gold price on the day he traveled through time... Bai Su did the math and discovered in despair that he had lost nearly 10,000 yuan.
"It's not shrunk! It's not shrunk!" Garcia was about to jump up and down, but he still had to maintain his noble image as the Son of God. He lowered his voice and shouted, "I just added something to it for you!"
Bai Su observed carefully and found that the size of the gold cake seemed to be a little bigger, which made him feel better.
Bai Su, who had regained his sanity, was about to apologize to Garcia when he heard the Son of Heaven say loudly in his ear in a gentle voice that concealed annoyance: "So, do you have any other questions? Farmer!"
Immediately, Keos and his attendants, who were avoiding suspicion on the side, looked over at the two of them.
