Chapter 144 Extra 7
In spring, sunlight is evenly distributed to everyone on the continent during the day, and Mei Yang was lucky enough to get a beam of it.
Spring is always beautiful, and I should be more active in this season - thinking of this, Mei Yang turned over and fell back to sleep.
It was not until he heard the tapping sound of a woodpecker on the tree that he stretched himself, rubbed his eyes, and climbed out of bed.
It was the third day of the Elf King's business trip, and he didn't miss him very much.
Mei Yang yawned and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Ten minutes later, he was revived with full health.
The morning sets the tone for the day, and Mei Yang has something important to do today - decorating the children's room.
Half a year ago, the Elf Fruit that fell into Mei Yang's arms was forcibly planted back by the Elf King on the grounds that winter was not suitable for hatching cubs.
So it was not until a few days ago when spring came and everything revived that the ten fruits fell one after another.
Before they officially hatched and were taken away by the keepers, the responsibility of taking care of them fell on the Elf King and Mei Yang.
Since the Elf King is not at home, the ten eggs are under Mei Yang's care.
It wasn't that Mei Yang had any maternal instincts—he was just a teenager, so how could he be so fond of children? He simply thought the colorful eggs were fun, and hatching them was also fun.
It’s a bit like raising a battle pet in a game.
Today is the day Mei Yang chose to decorate the children's room, which is the room he lived in before.
I quickly fried some French toast for breakfast, and at ten o'clock, the delivery man arrived.
"That's all." The delivery elf handed the checklist to Mei Yang, "Please sign here."
"Thank you." Mei Yang signed the Elf King's name with a flourish of his pen.
Since the Elf Tribe and the Wink Empire resumed diplomatic relations last year, the Elf Tribe has also introduced a currency system. As the Elf King's companion, Mei Yang is now very rich.
"By the way, can you help me recycle the furniture in the room?" Mei Yang asked.
He remembered that there were some original wooden furniture in the room. It would be better if they could be recycled and reused than thrown away.
The delivery person happened to be there, saving him from having to ask someone else to help him move the items.
Mei Yang led the delivery staff in. These discarded furniture blanks were very good, so the delivery staff took them all and gave them a 20% discount on the previous orders.
“You can wait until your partner gets home to assemble it,” the delivery man suggested with a smile.
The Elf King, the Crown Prince of the Wink Empire, the High Priest of the Temple, the Young Master of the Centaur Tribe and others went to visit the God Pan in the other half of the forest. Mei Yang was alone at home. No matter what he did outside, everyone took good care of him.
Mei Yang nodded and agreed with a smile.
After sending the delivery man away and looking at the new furniture wrapped in linen all over the floor, Mei Yang was ready to fight - he didn't want to wait for the Elf King to come back, he wanted to start decorating now!
Simulation dress up game, here I come!
Mei Yang took out a pair of scissors from the storage room and began to unpack.
The finished furniture purchased for the elf fruits are all children's styles and very cute in size, just like the pet furniture in Mei Yang's original world.
For the health of the cubs, children's furniture is generally not painted, but is polished to a very smooth natural wood color. In order to match, Mei Yang specially bought several bundles of hemp ropes and picked a lot of dried flowers from the Elf King's inventory, and wrapped them around the bed legs, table legs, chair legs, etc.
It looks very fresh and clean.
The small beds were only the size of a kitchen sink, so Mei Yang moved them easily. He was not impatient and moved one after he finished decorating it, alternating between manual and physical work. It only took him more than two hours to move all ten small beds into the children's room.
The three-piece set arrived yesterday, already washed and dried. The mattress, pillow, and quilt were all custom-made.
Mei Yang's design idea is to place ten small beds close to the wall. Because the head and foot of the beds are shaped and decorated with hemp rope and dried flowers, it does not look like a large bunk bed, but more like a nap bed for kindergarten children.
Under the bed is a custom-made pull-out cabinet, which contains various small clothes that Mei Yang had made when he was learning tailoring.
There are hooded capes, puffy skirts, small vests, etc., all of which are styles that the elf eggs can put on, full of childlike fun.
The pull-out cabinet is vertically drawn, and each compartment is exactly the same width as the small bed. Each elf fruit has its own small wardrobe.
Small clothes are also hung on mini hangers. The empty space below is used to place a small storage box, which contains care oil and small towels for each fruit.
The combination of a pull-out cabinet and a small wooden bed resulted in a finished product that was about 1.3 meters high, which was just the right height for Mei Yang to carry the fruits back to bed to sleep without having to bend over frequently.
Mei Yang looked at the wall and couldn't be more satisfied - wait, there's still a little more to it.
The wall is a bit empty.
Mei Yang was a man who did whatever he thought of. He immediately took out his drawing board and roughly drew the portraits of each elf fruit according to its color and size, and pasted them on the wall with clay.
It was already noon when he finished this work, but Mei Yang had eaten breakfast late and was not hungry, so he did not plan to eat lunch.
The most complicated task has been completed, and the next ones are simpler than the last.
The small sofa is an L-shaped sofa. Mei Yang measured the size in advance and placed it near the window, which is just enough for ten people to sit in a row.
I didn’t buy a small coffee table because they don’t need it for coffee.
I bought quite a few carpets: a huge one in the shape of a seven-colored flower was placed in the middle, long strips of patchwork carpets in the colors of the corresponding fruits were placed in front of the pull-out cabinets, there was a lambskin carpet with a white background and many bayberries at the entrance, and there was an oval carpet with Rumi, the albino moose, printed on it, at the bathroom door.
There was still no ceiling light in the room, but Mei Yang placed a large tulip-shaped floor lamp at the door so that he could check on the eggs at night.
There is also a small dressing mirror half the height of a person, and in front of the mirror there is a round solid-color carpet, which is for Mei Yang to sit cross-legged on the carpet and draw a self-portrait while holding the eggs that he has dressed in cute little clothes - at this time, Mei Yang feels very sorry that there are no mobile phones in the Western Fantasy World, so he can't take selfies.
The tea table and round table were also purchased according to children's size, and of course, there were the indispensable green plants.
All elves are the darlings of nature. No matter how delicate a flower is, once it falls into the hands of the Elf King, he can raise it to be strong.
But considering the ornamental value, there are only green plants and no flowers in the children's room - the other decorations are already fancy enough, and there is no need to put a lot of colorful flowers.
Small swings and plush pillows are also essential furniture in children's rooms.
Mei Yang was a little selfish. Since he was spending his partner's money, he ordered a slightly larger size for big kids, which was just big enough for himself, who was over 1.7 meters tall, to sit on and swing.
In the center of the room is Mei Yang’s most proud piece of furniture, a custom-made piece of furniture—a cradle in the shape of an egg waffle mold.
The whole thing is still made of wood, but like a sofa, it has sponge filling and velvet edging. There are ten holes in total, just enough to hold ten eggs. Just shake the slider at the bottom and it will slowly rotate like a carousel.
The device is heavy, so it won't shake the eggs too much. Combined with the long-handled polishing brush that Mei Yang made on a whim, Mei Yang can already imagine the scene where he brushes the eggshells with the polishing brush while asking the Elf King, "How do you want your baked eggs done?"
I'm so excited. This isn't a child's room, it's clearly my toy room, Mei Yang thought.
There weren't many changes to be made in the bathroom, just some low-foaming shampoo specifically for washing elf fruits, as well as their respective small bath towels.
Mei Yang also put his natural mineral pigments in the children's room so that he could paint the fruits whenever inspiration struck.
The children's room has been completely decorated.
The overall color tone is still a gentle Bohemian style, with large areas of solid wood furniture, rattan and straw, and light-colored fabrics.
Only a few rugs and three-piece suits are in Morandi colors.
Mei Yang sat on the carpet for a while. He could already imagine the scene of the summer sun shining into the house, ten elf fruits sitting in a row on the sofa to bask in the sun, and him lying on the linen carpet to take a nap.
He would snore softly amid the chirping of cicadas, and then be woken up by the Elf King at 3:30 to drink the freshly squeezed watermelon juice with ice that he handed to him.
Ah, spring isn't even over yet and I'm already looking forward to summer.
Mei Yang enjoys the changing seasons with his partner.
But, three points.
Mei Yang quickly stopped fantasizing, jumped up, and ran to the kitchen to cook.
The eternal porridge hot pot, bless Bai Su, my friend, you are the real hero - Mei Yang will praise his fellow countryman at every meal.
While falling in love with a centaur, he still doesn't forget to develop local agriculture. What a talent, really a talent.
Unlike me, when I'm in love with the Elf King, I can only hatch eggs, grow flowers, and play games, hehe.
The porridge-based hotpot method is very popular throughout the elf tribe. It has greatly enriched the elves' diet and made the livestock meat that is difficult to swallow become light and refreshing.
Vegetables with a bitter taste, like sweet fruits, have become the main source of food for the elves.
Even a large area of land near the restaurant was developed into farmland for growing vegetables with the approval of the Elf King.
The porridge-based hotpot that Mei Yang made today is an improved version of the health-preserving double porridge.
The base is made of half crushed rice milk and half cooked rice, and chrysanthemum and wolfberry are added for seasoning.
The main dishes are fish fillet, clams, yam, shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps flowers and baby cabbage, with a light flavor.
It doesn't feel like lunch, but more like afternoon tea prepared for someone.
Glancing at the bird-shaped clock on the wall, Mei Yang saw that it was still early, so he made a few more bowls of ginger milk.
The casserole and the platter of ingredients were brought to the coffee table and placed on a mat. The ginger milk had just solidified and was still warm.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Mei Yangren smiled before he even reached the door - the helpers he had asked to help bring the elf fruits from the mother tree to the tree house had arrived.
The next half day is social time.
Mei Yang opened the door and saw five teenagers, red, orange, blue, indigo and purple. Each of them was holding two eggs in their hands, and the smiles on their faces were even brighter than Mei Yang's.
After recalling their memories in the fruit, the five elves became even more attached to Mei Yang than before.
This is the person who took care of them!
I smelled the aroma of food coming from the house, and then I remembered that the Elf King was not at home.
The teenagers looked at each other.
Such a good opportunity, Mei Yang is alone.
So several elves blocked the doorway and shouted in unison to Mei Yang, who was wearing a floral apron and pink home clothes and looked like she had just finished her housework: "Good afternoon, little mother~"
Mei Yang:?

The author has something to say:
Is it possible that humans have a "planned obsolescence" mechanism built into their genes, similar to the "planned obsolescence" of electronics? I've been feeling increasingly overwhelmed over the past two years (?)
