Chapter 96: Feelings (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo thought about the hot chili meat sauce nowadays, and her expression changed.
She quickly went through the production steps in her mind.
She also enjoys researching food in her modern free time.
Naturally, she also made chili con carne herself, so she was very familiar with making it.
“The key is chili and tempeh.”
Jiang Zhiluo knew that fermented black beans were not available here, so she could make them herself.
To make fermented black beans, you need soybeans.
Soybeans are sold in the town, and some families in the village also grow some soybeans.
"If I keep making chili con carne, it's not cost-effective to buy chilies and soybeans. It would be great if I could grow my own."
Jiang Zhiluo now thought of buying land so that she could grow more things.
The last time she went to the county government office, she only bought a residential plot.
She thought that she should build the house first. If she bought land later, she would not have enough money, because it would cost a lot of money to hire people to build the house, buy roof tiles, and buy wood and find someone to make furniture.
She thought that if she could earn more money in the next few days, as long as she could buy land by the end of March, she would not delay the spring planting.
It's only early March, there's still time.
"In fact, if the space can be upgraded and there is more land, we can grow a lot of things."
Because you can grow things in space without being restricted by the environment or the season.
Moreover, when planted in space, crops will grow much faster than outside and the yield will be very high.
Some leeks have been harvested three times and can no longer be eaten.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that some of the leeks had been harvested three times, and the leeks that grew later would not be tasty unless they were used for flowering and keeping seeds.
So she dug out some of it and cleared the land.
These leeks dug out were from the third crop, and she planned to feed them to the chickens. No food could be wasted.
She also kept a small portion, intending to let the leeks bloom and save the seeds, and then continue to plant leeks in the space fields.
Even if you don’t do the chive business, you can still grow some for your own consumption.
After working for a while, a lot of land was cleared out, more than one acre of land.
When Jiang Zhiluo was resting, she went to the pond and drank some spiritual spring water.
As she was thinking about planting something in the field, she saw the wooden house next to it.
"The cabin seems unchanged."
I remember Xiaolan said that after the space is upgraded, the wooden house will also become bigger.
But she saw that the cabin had not changed much.
"After the last space upgrade, I seem to have forgotten to take a look inside the cabin."
Jiang Zhiluo said this, stood up, and walked to the wooden house to take a look.
There was nothing in the wooden house before; the chairs, table, bed, and cabinets were all empty.
"Hey, what is this?"
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly saw a bag of things on the table.
Jiang Zhiluo remembered that when she first came to the space cabin, there was no such thing at all.
Jiang Zhiluo walked over expectantly and couldn't wait to pick it up and take a look.
"Chili peppers, little red peppers?"
Jiang Zhiluo was very excited when she recognized that these were chili seeds.
She was sure that there were no pepper seeds in the cabin before.
But why is there something here this time?
Is it the effect of the upgrade?
“Why are there peppers?”
Jiang Zhiluo was confused.
"Could it be that because I thought I needed chili peppers, chili peppers appeared?"
"It really solved an urgent problem."
Jiang Zhiluo remembered that peppers would mature in about a month.
But if you grow peppers in space, the time can be shortened.
For example, leeks grow very fast in space.
"Little Blue, Little Blue?"
Jiang Zhiluo called the space elf Xiaolan several times, but Xiaolan did not appear.
Jiang Zhiluo guessed that it might be sleeping and resting.
She no longer called Xiaolan, but walked out of the space, quietly got out of bed, scooped a basin of water from the tank, added some warm water, and then brought it into the space.
Then soak the pepper seeds in a basin of water.
After germination, you can sow directly.
After finishing all the work, it was already past one in the morning, and Jiang Zhiluo finally had a good rest.
…
The next morning, Cui Hejin woke up early.
He looked at Jiang Zhiluo who was sleeping a little uneasily beside him, sighed softly, then reached out to tuck the corner of her quilt, and then quietly got out of bed.
After leaving the room, Cui Hejin closed the door gently.
At this time, Mrs. Cui also woke up.
She started busying herself with making breakfast, and Cui Hejin helped her light the fire after washing up.
Madam Cui glanced towards the door and said, "It's rare for Zhiluo to get some extra sleep. Let's be quiet and not disturb her."
Even when she spoke, Mrs. Cui spoke in a very low voice.
Cui Hejin whispered: "Well, she slept very late last night."
Mrs. Cui couldn't help but pour the water more gently, and said in a lower voice: "She has been busy with business and business recently, and she is exhausted."
"Even if she's very tired, she won't complain. No matter how late she goes to bed, she'll always get up early and get busy."
"It happened to be a rainy day, so let her rest more at home."
"Just that Zhiluo is okay, don't overwork her and strain her body."
Cui Hejin pinched his brows with his hands, sighed softly and said helplessly: "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."
He knew what his mother had misunderstood.
Mother didn't know that he and Zhiluo had never consummated their marriage.
However, Cui Hejin did not explain much, for fear that his mother would worry too much.
Madam Cui was still worried and said, "But you should be more careful. Zhiluo is a strong-willed child. Even if she is not feeling well, she may not say it."
"This person is different in her husband's family and her parents' family."
"She can be gentle and act like a spoiled brat in front of her parents, but at her husband's house, even if she's uncomfortable, she might be too embarrassed to say it."
"Mom has been through it all, so she understands that feeling best."
In front of my mother, I can say some things freely, but in front of my mother-in-law, I will still be a little restrained.
No matter how good the mother-in-law is, you can never be as comfortable as being with your own mother.
Mrs. Cui understood this feeling.
"Besides, as a girl, there are some things you might not feel comfortable saying to your husband. You should be more careful."
Cui Hejin's expression changed and he nodded, "Yes."
Mrs. Cui knew that her son had taken her words to heart.
When breakfast was ready and they were about to eat, Mrs. Cui waited for a while. Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo hadn't come out, she said, "I'll have breakfast first. Let Zhiluo sleep a little longer."
"Yesterday afternoon, I talked to your uncle the village head and Aunt Zhu about building a house. We agreed to go to Yangliu Village today to tell the carpenter so that we can ask him for help when the time comes."
Cui Hejin said: "Mom, it's still raining outside, I'll go."
"How can you go? I've already made arrangements with your village head uncle and Aunt Zhu. It would be more comfortable for everyone if I were to communicate."
"Besides, it's raining now, and you have a holiday from school, so just stay home and take care of Zhiluo."
Mrs. Cui insisted and Cui Hejin had no choice.
Fortunately, Cui Hejin brought an umbrella back from school, and Mrs. Cui happened to be going out with an umbrella.
The rain was not heavy. After breakfast, Mrs. Cui put on the straw sandals that Zhiluo gave her yesterday and walked into the rain and fog with an umbrella.
Cui Hejin didn't eat breakfast, thinking of waiting for Zhiluo to wake up and eat together.
Jiang Zhiluo still hadn't woken up until mid-morning. Cui Hejin looked at the sky and his expression froze.
He walked into the room and came to the bed. Looking at Jiang Zhiluo, whose face looked a little strange, he reached out and touched her forehead, feeling that her body was a little cold.
Cui Hejin's expression changed, and he called Jiang Zhiluo softly, "Zhiluo, wake up..."
