Horizontal growth?
Isn’t that just getting fat?
No matter where this woman came from, there was one word she would absolutely detest: fat.
Nian Shutong’s lips curved upwards at the corners, and the mole under her right eye, bewitchingly charming, shimmered with an unknown light as she looked towards Rubble.
Rubble felt a chill physically. What was going on? Rubble shouldn’t be feeling cold.
“Rubble—”
The tender call of “Rubble” made even Fu Yunhe, who was watching the excitement, shiver uncomfortably, and due to the residual glance from Nian Shutong, he straightened his posture.
The scene wasn’t as enjoyable as anticipated.
Rubble’s survival radar immediately went online, but malfunctioned slightly, sending out a message.
“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has run out of money.”
Rubble’s declaration of having no money twisted the gentle look in Nian Shutong’s eyes somewhat.
Out of money again!
She was so heartbroken that bullying Rubble lost its appeal.
Nian Shutong waved her hand weakly, no longer looking at Rubble.
“Understood, just bear with it for now.”
This time, Rubble dared not speak; he felt as if he had narrowly escaped disaster.
Fu Yunhe glanced stealthily at the dispirited Nian Shutong and spoke the most soothing words.
“I still have money.”
“No rush,” Nian Shutong looked towards Rubble, her vitality somewhat restored, and said, “Let him experience a few days without money. He doesn’t know how hard it is to earn money at all.”
Fu Yunhe also looked towards Rubble, deeply agreeing with her sentiment.
Rubble indeed had talent, but due to the nature of the Mechanical Clan, he was somewhat immature.
He was very talented. The first time he could splurge without restriction.
Nian Shutong was planning to make him endure poverty, bind his hands and feet, and restrict him for a while.
At that moment, Nian Shutong lay comfortably on a lounge chair.
This chair had practically become her dedicated spot, set up not far from the stream. After watching a live stream, she liked to lie there for a while.
Fu Yunhe didn’t disturb her much, getting up to busy himself with some matters.
Meanwhile, Nian Shutong wasn’t truly resting; she was learning the method of making handmade noodles.
To establish cooperation with the Legion, she needed to present food that could be preserved without a freshness container.
Noodles were an important component.
Instant noodles would have been a good choice, but she lacked the ingredients to make the seasoning packets.
So far, hanging noodles had turned out to be a good choice.
Earlier, she had Rubble gather many winnowing baskets, preparing to use them for making noodles.
“Master, not to discourage you, Dao Dao here, but this is a bit challenging.”
“I know, that’s why I’m not doing it myself,” Nian Shutong said as she opened her eyes and looked towards Mr. Fan busy in the kitchen. It would be good as long as one person could learn it.
She withdrew her gaze and asked System Xiao Ba.
“Xiao Ba, no new seeds lately?”
“Beep! Host, for every one hundred acres of cultivated land completed, there will be a reward!”
“Beep! Considering the Host’s diligent progressive spirit, Xiao Ba rewards you with three types of vegetable seeds: kidney beans, cowpeas, and mustard.”
“Friendly reminder, cowpeas and mustard are great ingredients for making pickles!”
Making pickles?
That meant they could be preserved for a long time.
However, to make delicious pickles, many other ingredients were still needed.
Ms. Nian Shutong sat up and shouted toward the distant Fu Yunhe.
“Xiao He, I’m going out!”
Fu Yunhe had just turned around to look at Nian Shutong, didn’t even manage to ask a question, when Nian Shutong had already left.
As for what she was going to do, no one knew.
In fact, Nian Shutong didn’t do much, she just wanted to walk around, look for missing materials, or discover some new food.
It would be best to find a lot of spices. Without spices, many things couldn’t be made.
Even though System Xiao Ba was cooperative and could provide seeds, they always took time to grow.
Therefore, making a round on the Blue Star was necessary.
Nian Shutong’s departure had no impact on the operation of the small wooden house at the moment, there was plenty of rice and flour, vegetables were in short supply temporarily, who made them not plant extensively before, with over three hundred people eating, the vegetables were a bit overwhelmed.
Instead, seafood, various fish, and wild pigs hunted before, as well as the tofu and dried tofu from the small workshops, occupied the main position on the dining table.
Meanwhile, Fu Yunhe was constantly expanding each workshop, all output had to at least exceed the daily consumption, otherwise Nian Shutong’s money-making plans wouldn’t see the light.
However, on the first day Nian Shutong left, a problem arose.
There weren’t enough soybeans.
This batch of soybeans was something Nian Shutong had found herself, the soybeans they planted had just been sown today and would need at least a month before they could be used.
Running out of soybeans meant that bean sprouts, tofu, and dried tofu couldn’t be made, and the small wooden house suddenly had fewer dishes.
Fu Yunhe alone squatted in front of the six vegetable plots by the door of the small wooden house, muttering under his breath.
“You have to work harder and grow more vegetables.”
“Uncle, they can’t talk,” said Dou Dou.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Dou Dou had just finished class, his aunt wasn’t around, so he had run over here, arriving just in time to see Uncle Xiao He talking to the vegetables.
“How do you know they can’t talk?”
Dou Dou was stumped by the question, his little face scrunched as he yelled, “They just can’t!”
“Wait and see!”
Dou Dou bustled about with his little legs, running to find help.
When Fu Yunhe stood up, Elder Hua came running over with Dou Dou, his movements very familiar, he slapped Fu Yunhe’s back.
“Nonsensical! Full of nonsense! Don’t teach the kids bad things!”
Elder Hua’s perennial “educational heart” added an air of authority akin to a teacher’s.
Fu Yunhe could only earnestly promise, “Understood, I won’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Elder Hua and Dou Dou exchanged looks, apparently satisfied.
The next second, the young and the old, pitifully looked at Fu Yunhe.
“When is aunt coming back?”
“When is Strawberry coming back?”
Fu Yunhe walked past the two people, carefree, he left them with a statement: “I don’t know.”
The whereabouts of Nian Shutong were known only to herself.
At that moment, Nian Shutong had already walked very far.
Throughout the night, she barely rested, continuously driving forward, heading to places she had never been to before.
This time, she gained a general understanding of her own planet.
Currently, the place she was staying was roughly in the middle facing north, not exactly in the center.
The area where she was located was bordered by ocean on one side and land on the other, stretching out over a vast area.
This time, she headed north, and the farther north she went, the cooler it became, not as hot.
Along the way, with the help of Daodao, she really found quite a few spices.
She stopped frequently to collect them, which was time-consuming, but the rewards were truly substantial.
She completely fell in love with this treasure-hunting-like harvest, like picking up money, the more she collected, the more addictive it became.
“Master, master, there’s meat ahead! It’s not pork!”
