After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 183 Earth-Wood Dimension Upgrade
In order to find out about the situation after the upgrade of the Earth Dimension as soon as possible, she went to the Earth Dimension to keep an eye on it when the mole was being harvested.

Before the local rats could harvest all the water chestnuts, the Earth Dimension changed, and she was forcibly expelled from the Earth Dimension.

This is the first time.

Su Tai was a little confused. She subconsciously looked at the door of the Earth Dimension. The words on the door appeared somewhat dim, and it took about five minutes for them to gradually return to normal.

She was startled and dared not enter easily, instead running to the screen to search for details about the Earth Dimension.

The upgraded Earth Time and Space has ten more acres of forest than before, where you can plant any flowers, trees, and shrubs. You can also hire gophers to work, two per acre, with a commission of one thousand virtual coins per gopher per year, and the price has not increased.

The next upgrade requires a cumulative payment of one million catties of crops.

"Hiss!" Su Tai gasped, rubbed her eyes, and carefully counted the amount on her fingers. When she realized it really was one million, her face immediately darkened.

She's been busy with 500,000 tons of crops for so many years, what does a million jin mean? She doesn't even dare to dream of it.

It took her a while to adjust her mindset.

I spent 20,000 virtual coins to hire 20 more groundhogs.

Only then did they enter the Earth Dimension.

The earthen space, now with ten acres of additional forest, looks much larger than before, but it's bare everywhere, which looks rather unsettling.

In order to turn these ten acres of mountain forest into greenery, she made another trip to the Wood Time Tree Nursery.

The rules state that anything can be planted in the ten acres of forest. Since that's the case, she'll definitely plant things that she can't eat. There are seed shops, vegetable shops, and sapling shops in the Wood Dimension, but no fruit shops. Fruit is her first choice.

If we're going to plant something, we should plant something with high economic value.

Lychee and longan are indispensable. Not only are these two fruits sweet, but Longxia Kingdom should also have plenty of them. Many of the nobles in Langya Kingdom should have tasted them, and they can fetch a good price.

Even if they don't sell them, they can still make dried longan and dried lychee, which are relatively expensive medicinal materials in their area. If all else fails, they can sell them to automated trading counters.

Besides longan and lychee, she also wants to grow some of her favorite fruits, such as cherries, jaboticaba, durian, mangosteen, and mango.

She wanted the fruit trees to bear fruit as quickly as possible, so she ordered older trees from the boss. Each tree cost between several hundred and several thousand yuan, so she needed to source the fruit.

Su Tai wasn't in a hurry. After paying a deposit of 50,000 yuan, she turned around and went to the seed shop.

In addition to fruit, you can also arrange some more valuable medicinal herbs, such as ginseng and notoginseng.

With the gophers around, she wasn't worried about them not surviving.

Half a month had passed since all the fruit trees and medicinal herbs were planted. Her virtual currency balance had successfully shrunk by 200,000, and her spending limit in Mu Shi Kong had been met, so she upgraded again.

So, Su Tai had just finished planning the planting in the Earth Dimension and immediately went to check on the upgrades and changes in the Wood Dimension.

The upgraded Mu Shi Kong now has a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, which not only has doctors on duty but also a huge pharmacy that offers prescription dispensing and decoction services.

The appearance of this traditional Chinese medicine clinic was practically a life-saving cheat weapon for her.

From now on, if she has any headaches or fevers, she won't have to rush to town anymore.

It wasn't that she looked down on Doctor Li's medical skills, but rather that the land in Langya Kingdom was barren and medicinal herbs were scarce. Doctor Li's clinic only had a few herbs, and he was also getting old and lacked the energy to treat common ailments. For illnesses that required special herbs, he could only use common herbs with similar effects, which greatly reduced the effectiveness.

She had worried about this a lot before, always concerned that her loved ones would not receive timely treatment when they got sick, especially when Su Ming almost died from a cold, which made her even more panicked.

Su Tai continued reading in a good mood, even though the conditions for the next upgrade in the Wood Dimension were harsh, she could accept them. After she finished checking all the rules, she found that the rules for the next upgrade in the Wood Dimension were much more humane than those in the Earth Dimension; all she needed to do was spend 100,000 virtual coins at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.

Even if she couldn't meet that spending limit, she would still feel like she'd made a profit.

Shen Yi noticed that his little wife had been in a good mood lately, but when he asked her about it, she seemed inscrutable.

Although he didn't know what Su Tai was happy about, as long as his wife was in a good mood, he wouldn't ask any more questions and continued to bury himself in his work.

The yard, which covers two acres, is quite large, but he seemed a bit overwhelmed working alone.

In order to dig out the cellar before the snow fell, he had to ask for help.

Song Yongchu became a father at a young age, and the pressure to support his family was immense. In addition, with the government's decree, it was almost impossible to make a lot of money from grain next year.

When Shen Yi asked him, he agreed without hesitation.

When he arrived at Shenjiazhuang and saw the materials prepared by Shen Yi, he was unable to calm down for a long time.

"Brother Shen, these are..."

Faced with Song Yongnian's probing, Shen Yi remained calm, saying, "I had it custom-made at a workshop across the Daxun River; you can't buy it anywhere else."

"What are you trying to build? And why are you even customizing it?" Song Yongnian was increasingly confused.

Shen Yi sighed, “I want to build a cellar to store grain. My wife said that grain will be worthless in the future, so it’s better to store it. In case of a disaster year, we won’t be afraid of not having enough to eat. You know the situation here. Grain can’t be stored indoors for long. If we build a cellar, we can store it for a longer period of time.”

"There's actually such a saying?" Song Yongnian was quite surprised.

The Song family was destitute. He had never known what it felt like to have food stored at home. In recent years, the fields had yielded a bumper harvest, but he had sold it all for money. Even now, the family still didn't have much food stored, just enough for the three of them to eat for a year.

"Brother Shen, how long can grain be stored in a cellar?" Song Yongnian pressed.

Shen Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Actually, I don't know either, but these bricks are moisture-proof and waterproof. We can put them in a big vat and seal them up. They should last for three or four years without any problem!"

Song Yongnian took a deep breath, as if he had made a momentous decision, and said, "Brother Shen, I'm also building a cellar later. I wonder if you could help me get some bricks and stones? Don't worry, I don't need much."

Shen Yi readily agreed.

After discussing it, the two began to work seriously.

Shen Yi only taught Song Yongnian for a short while before he gradually figured it out and started to work more and more skillfully.

With Song Yongnian's involvement, the wall for the two-mu courtyard was completed in just ten days, standing two zhang high and three chi wide.

Shen Yi originally intended to ask Song Yongnian to help repair the courtyard wall, but Song Yongnian also wanted to repair the cellar, so he insisted on staying to help.

With the special shovel prepared by Su Tai, the two of them dug the hole very quickly.

In just four or five days, a large pit, 60 square meters in size and two meters deep, was created.

Next comes laying bricks and taking measures to prevent the ground from getting damp; cement and lime are essential.

Song Yongnian watched Shen Yi construct the cellar step by step, and gradually he understood the principles of its construction.

After the cellar floor is finished, the next step is to seal the roof.
