The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 175 Bringing the Whole Family
Shang Wan also tried collecting some herb seedlings from the mountain and planting them in the spirit field. Their growth rate was similar to that of directly sowing seeds, the difference being that when harvesting from seeds, there would be herb trees, while when harvesting from seedlings, there wouldn't be. The medicinal effects and taste were similar.

Spending the same amount of time, planting seedlings only yields one harvest, while planting seeds yields a whole tree, multiplying the harvest many times over. Even a fool would know which to choose.

If it weren't for the fact that growing ginseng takes at least three years, and that there are too few spiritual fields in Shang Wan's space, she would have to set aside a piece of spiritual field to grow ginseng.

A century-old ginseng can be worth a thousand gold pieces, and its price will be even higher at an auction. If you actually grow it, will you still have to worry about money?

However, given the current situation, Shang Wan does not intend to let the ginseng occupy a spiritual field for long, as the spatial flow rate has not yet increased.

Shang Wan patted Shi Tou's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. Starting tomorrow, you and Yuan Yuan will work together to clear the land at the foot of Yuan Mountain."

Get a clear picture of the situation and get to work boldly.

She wants to become a large-scale herb grower!
"Sister, calm down." Shi Tou glanced at the sun overhead. Wasn't clearing land in this weather going to kill someone? Even if he could stand it, Yuan Yuan couldn't.

“I’m very calm,” Shang Wan said. “Go in the morning and evening, and come back when the sun is high. Animals aren’t stupid; who would work for you under the scorching sun?”

“But, sister, the whole area at the foot of the mountain is at least thirty acres. Where are we going to get so many seeds? Even if we had seeds, we don’t have that many people to help us.”

“Manpower is not a problem; if we don’t have enough people, we can use animals. As for seeds…” Shang Wan thought for a moment and estimated based on the space, “It will be about time when you’ve cleared all the land.”

Seeing that Shang Wan was serious, Shi Tou quickly turned to look at his brother-in-law, wondering if this was really going to work.
Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial court encourages land reclamation. If the land is reclaimed and not left to waste, the government will reward it with oxen, farming tools and seeds. But to reclaim the entire area at the foot of the mountain at once without hiring anyone would attract too much attention."

There are only four people in their family who can be considered able to work, and none of them are strong laborers. Such an unusual situation will definitely attract the attention of the villagers, and who knows what kind of supernatural rumors will spread. It would be a loss for them.

Shang Wan had gotten a little carried away, but the two of them stopped her and she realized the problem.

You can't rush things; you have to take it one step at a time.

"The plum juice is ready," Chu Xu called out, poking his head out from the kitchen.

"Coming soon." Shang Wan agreed and said to Lu Chengjing and the other person, "Let's process the herbs first, and then we can talk about clearing the land after Yuanyuan comes back."

The little guy is the main force in pioneering the land. Whether he understands it or not, he still needs to feel involved.

The three of them quickened their pace, placing the washed herbs in bamboo baskets to dry before proceeding to the next step.

The plum juice was served in a small white bowl, its color a bright red, and sprinkled with a few dried osmanthus flowers to enhance its aroma.

It tastes sweet and sour, and after being chilled by well water, it's cool but not icy. A few sips of the plum juice will completely dispel the summer heat.

"Ha~" The four of them sat in a row under the eaves, holding porcelain bowls. A breeze blew through the room, making them feel refreshed and they couldn't help but sigh.

"It's delicious." After finishing one bowl, Chu Xu went to the kitchen and got another small bowl for himself.

Xiao Huan was worried that he had drunk too much and would have an upset stomach, so she quickly reminded him, "This is the last bowl, you can't drink anymore, it's time to eat soon."

"Okay." Chu Xu nodded and sat back down next to the stone, looked up at the sky, and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Yuanyuan come back yet?"

Yuanyuan is sensitive to heat, and she would usually be back on her little gray bike by this time.

"It's cooler in the mountains than outside, she's probably asleep somewhere." Shang Wan was very confident in her child. "If she doesn't come back in half an hour, I'll go to the mountains to look for her."

Chu Xu was still wary of going into the mountains and didn't want to go into the forests for a while, so he didn't insist on going with them.

Shi Tou turned to look at him, reaching out to wipe the soup off the child's face. "Didn't your brother say in his reply that he would come to pick you up as soon as possible? It's been several days, and we haven't seen a trace of him yet?"

Chu Xu was taken aback, her fair face drooping, and her voice low, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Of course not." Stone quickly waved his hand; he really was just asking casually.

Chu Xu glanced at him, his amber cat-like eyes filled with suspicion. Shi Tou patted his head, "I'm just worried that they might encounter some accidents on the road, like running into bandits or something."

Chu Xu: "..."

other people:"……"

Seeing that Chu Xu's expression had worsened, Shi Tou quickly added, "They might not be bandits, they could be assassins."

"An assassin?!" Chu Xu, who had just been frightened by the assassin, instantly burst into tears, and his good mood for drinking plum juice was completely ruined.

"No, there was no assassin," Stone hurriedly denied. "Maybe...maybe..."

He "might" not come out, so I simply raised my hand and covered my mouth; I'd better shut him up.

"Aunt Shang." Chu Xu, with tears in his eyes, huddled up to Shang Wan like a little animal, seeking comfort.

"Didn't you write about encountering assassins in your letter?" Shang Wan raised her hand and rubbed his fair face like she was kneading a dumpling. "You said your brother is smart and would definitely be prepared, so he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered assassins."

Chu Xu's heart, which had been pounding, calmed down. He held the small porcelain bowl in one hand and dragged the small stool over with the other, sticking his little body close to Shang Wan and refusing to leave.

Shang Wan gently rubbed his little head, her almond-shaped eyes curving slightly.

—The chubby baby feels so good to knead and squeeze.

Lu Chengjing squinted. Why did he suddenly find this kid so unpleasant?

He reminded him, "After you finish your plum juice, it's time to go back to your study and copy books."

Chu Xu blinked. "I didn't finish it."

There's still half a bowl left in the small bowl.

Lu Chengjing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a series of tapping sounds came from afar and stopped outside the door.

"Open the door!"

A soft, sweet voice accompanied by a powerful knock on the door—Yuanyuan is back!

Chu Xu's eyes lit up, and he scurried off to open the door.

"Round—" Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xu was knocked backward by the little deer that jumped in. If Shang Wan hadn't reached out and caught him in time, the young master's bottom would have suffered.

"Mommy!" Yuanyuan, riding on Little Grey's back, her eyes sparkling, pointed her little finger at the group behind them, "One! Deer!"

The little one has successfully completed the task assigned by his mother!
Behind her, a group of deer, young and old, with their families, stared at Shang Wan with their round, innocent, and adorably silly eyes.

Shang Wan: "..."

Is this just one? This is clearly a whole herd!
No wonder they came back late; it's not easy for a herd of deer to come down the mountain with their families.

She raised her hand to rub her temples. "My dear child, did you steal a herd of deer?"

Yuan Yuan blinked her eyes and pointed behind her with her little finger, "One! Deer!"

All the female deer were brought back, not a single one left. Is something wrong?
Shang Wan: "..."

"Sister, are we going to raise deer?" Xiao Huan walked over and saw the herd of deer outside the door, her mouth agape in surprise.

Shang Wan looked at her and said, "Little sister, you really have wild ideas! Let them grow freely on the mountain. If you want to eat them, just go and hunt one back. Wouldn't that be better? Why are you raising so many?"
