Chapter 8 Interspace
“I was going to pick up some firewood, but there really wasn’t much to pick up in the outer area. I did find a small nest of licorice and brought it back.”
“Licorice?” Gu Chengrui’s eyes lit up, and he continued, “This place is about five miles away from town. Let’s go to town in the afternoon.
“Take the licorice you dug up and some red sage and astragalus from the mountains in your interspace.
“Buy a pot or a crock when you return, and some food as a cover. ”
“But your body…” Zhou Ying was concerned.
“I’m fine. The medicine has already taken effect. I can handle it.”
“Alright, then you can boil a kettle of water to drink. I’ll go wash the dishes.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
After washing the dishes, she went to the warehouse again to get more medicine. But this time, it was an amount large enough for him to use for three days.
After that, the two drank some water and rested for a while. After he drank his medicine, the two took their tools and went up the mountain.
Then, according to Gu Chengrui’s instructions, she dug out about two pounds of red sage and five pounds of astragalus before stopping.
They stopped in front of an apple tree. Zhou Ying reached out and picked two, then handed one to Gu Chengrui. She turned around and sat on a big rock, eating the apple while scanning the entire island with her mind.
To the east of the island was a group of mountains, covering an area of nearly 100 square kilometers. However, it had been slowly transformed by the two of them.
Now, in addition to some precious medicinal herbs and trees, they had also planted all kinds of fruit trees, dried fruit trees, tea trees, and all kinds of medicinal herbs.
Of course, they also raised a batch of bees, which could produce a large amount of honey every year.
The river flowing down the mountain divided the land at the foot of the mountain into two, but it was not even. One side was larger than the other, about a two-to-one ratio.
There were all kinds of freshwater fish and prawns in the river. Because of the rapid flow of the river at the foot of the mountain, they had also built a small hydraulic power station, which could supply electricity for the entire interspace.
On the smaller side of the plain, she had plowed it into a field and planted sweet potatoes and taro. Now, there were herds of cattle and sheep on it. In the middle, there were also donkeys, deer, pigs, and various kinds of livestock, such as chickens.
At the same time, they also planted some trees in the fields, such as coconuts, olives, bay laurel, and some other oil-based trees, which were just enough to separate the various groups of animals.
Something worth mentioning was that there were also some sea ducks and swallows herding near the grass on the beach. In the past, just the sea duck eggs and birdnests were a significant income.
On the larger side of the plain next to the river, was their small two-story villa at the foot of the mountain. Below it was an industrial area of about 100 acres and a drying area of 100 acres.
They were all factories with extremely low pollution for processing agricultural products and food.
Behind the industrial area was the palace that was initially present in the interspace that covered an area of ten acres. There was a warehouse with no end in sight, storing a large number of materials that they had prepared for a possible apocalypse.
They couldn’t enter any of the other rooms except for the study room, which was one of the reasons why they had built another villa.
The rest of the land was planted with all kinds of crops.
Because the interspace was similar to a subtropical climate, they could plant three seasons in a year, giving them an impressive annual output. Of course, the labor needed was quite large.
Fortunately, the interspace had a user-friendly option when it came to farming. She could control her interspace with her mental power, and the river water could fertilize the fields. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to manage all of these.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui, who had sat down with her, finished an apple and bumped into her. “You are surveying the mountains and rivers again. Have there been any changes?”
“Yes, the crops are almost ripe. We’ll be busy tonight.”
