Chapter 224: Take precautions before they happen

My little girl has such good taste; the workers she hires are all very reliable.

This young carpenter was the same beggar couple he had taken in not long ago.

The men stayed by the troupe leader's side as attendants, while the women followed Xin Nian's mother, doing needlework.

At first, the couple didn't realize it, but after spending a few days together, they found that the young couple was particularly useful.

Since this little carpenter came along, Commander Xin no longer needs to remember small things; his attendants can remember them all in detail.

Moreover, he is truly a craftsman; his carpentry work is exceptionally meticulous, and his hand speed is quite fast.

Sometimes he can make several wooden barrels and boxes in a day, and Xin Wenyuan is afraid that he will sacrifice his sleep time and ruin his eyes.

The carpenter's wife was also very diligent, always eager to help Xie Ninglan with sewing and mending. Gradually, Xie Ninglan also found the young woman to be particularly useful.

She wasn't very good at sewing anyway, so with this young lady's help, Xie Ninglan's job became much easier.

In addition, with the two siblings, Tian Xiaorui and her brother, whom their daughter brought back earlier, always vying to cook and do chores, the couple now has no trivial matters to attend to, so it's only right that they focus all their energy on cultivating their supernatural abilities.

Xin Nian strolled back to her mother's side and gave her a wink.

Helpless, Xie Ninglan pulled Chang Mianmian along, and the three of them slipped back into the farm to do whatever they needed to do.

Chang Mianmian is now very experienced in making ice cubes.

She can hand-roll up to ten ice cubes a second, like the kind you put in drinks, with incredible skill!
As for the large, square blocks of ice, we can now make more than thirty in an hour.

She is increasing the speed, and the number of large ice blocks produced per hour is slowly increasing.

Chang Mianmian was also extremely happy.

What does this mean? It means that her control over water is about to reach a state of perfection!

Xin Nian went out at the right time and found Xin Wenyuan. By then, the group had already dealt with more than half of the giant snake.

Xin Nian then carried the processed snake bones, snake gallbladders, and snake oil back home. She only took two buckets of snake meat and didn't want the rest.

Upon hearing that she didn't want so much snake meat, the others were all in an uproar.

"Sixth Miss, you really don't want it?" Han Zhao asked, staring at her with a puzzled look. "You don't want such good snake meat? Every piece is so plump."

Xin Nian remained expressionless. "Do you want to eat it?"

She took two buckets of snake meat back with the intention of keeping them for future use in medicine, and had no other thoughts about them!
And look at these people, they're all beaming with joy, as if they're all very happy to get their share of the snake meat.

"It..." She wanted to say that this thing looked dry and tough, and probably wouldn't taste good.

But Han Zhao repeatedly confirmed with her, "Sixth Miss, are you really not going to take the rest of the snake meat?"

"do not want!"

"Can we split it?"

"Go ahead and split up if you want!" Xin Nian didn't bother to say anything more to them and turned to leave.

Chi Jue grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with doubt, "This thing isn't poisonous, is it?"

“It’s not poisonous!” Xin Nian slapped his paw away. “This is a snake with the same properties as you, how could it be poisonous?”

If it's poisonous, why would she use it to make medicine? Wouldn't that just make it into poison?
"Great! We'll have snake meat for dinner tonight!" Everyone beamed with joy and cheered.

These people really don't discriminate between meat and vegetables, so Xin Nian quickly slipped away.

However… Xin Nian wondered, if she didn’t have that much food stored up, would she eat it in a life-or-death situation?
I think so.

Xin Nian couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the ABC nutrition meals that the base used to provide.

In the early days of construction, before livestock farming had taken off, the ABC meals served at the base were appalling. Much of it was just a mixture of insects. Back then, there were no exorbitantly priced nutrient solutions, and life was incredibly difficult.

Thank God, thank you so much! Xin Laoliu couldn't help but bow to the sky. Luckily, she always had a portable storage room, so she didn't have to eat such terrifying things.

Heaven has been kind to her, allowing her to eat normal meals in both her lives! Therefore, she must... plant more trees and raise more animals, strive to improve the environment, and protect world peace!
Xin Nian retrieved all the snake bones and other items back to the farm and returned to her small workshop to continue making medicine.

Make more medicine; it might come in handy in the future.

She always likes to take precautions, and while there's still time, she makes as many as possible.

Occasionally, I would look up at the wooden window and see my mother standing on the edge of the black soil, continuously encouraging the growth of trees.

At this moment, she looked around and saw that Xie Ninglan was already surrounded by lush trees and vines.

Xie Ninglan ate two more winter melon strips, silently thinking: Not enough, far from enough, there are so many people in the group. This small grove isn't enough for everyone.

Xie Ninglan nurtured a towering tree.

She stood under this tree, and from this tree as the origin, a dense forest sprouted outwards.

By this time, the trees had already covered several patches of black soil with the sky above them.

Xie Ninglan then urged the trees to grow to the other side.

Xin Nian glanced at it once, then again, silently giving her mother a big thumbs up in her heart.

That's great! At this rate, Mother will soon be advancing to the fifth rank!

The mother and her two children went out right at dinner time, just in time for the meal to be served.

Xin Wenyuan diligently handed his wife bowls and chopsticks, praising her hard work repeatedly.

Madam Xie looked at the two of them with a smile, her eyes full of love.

It's not a good thing that the son-in-law's family is being exiled, but he's become a completely different person on the way. Now he's not only very responsible, but also very protective of his wife, which is wonderful.

The old lady thought that exile might not necessarily be a bad thing.

As long as the son-in-law knows his mistakes and can correct them, exile is definitely a good thing!
Tonight I made cabbage and egg soup, steamed a big pot of rice, and served it with a bowl of braised pork.

Two plates of cabbage weren't enough, so they ordered five more, and finally the whole family was satisfied.

Xiao Chi, who had come to freeload with Xiao Jin earlier, was also very satisfied. This wasn't just any cabbage; it was high-energy cabbage!

That's quite a lifestyle; you can eat while simultaneously practicing extraordinary skills!
After dinner, Xiao Chi squatted down next to Xin Nian and nagged, "Could I have a pack of those radish strips you guys have?"

"Besides radish strips, do you have other things that can supplement your supernatural abilities? They're all strip-shaped. Are some of them even deep-fried?" He once secretly stole half a bag from the Crown Prince and felt that this stuff was quite good.

Not only can it be eaten as a snack, but it can also supplement one's magical abilities.

He's definitely not a glutton!

Xin Nian found him too talkative, so she gave him a bag of various snacks and sent him away.

The family sat in a circle, studying the map for a while in front of Old Xin's little light bulb.

Xin Nian pointed to the north of Yangzhu Town, "If we go this way, it will take us about seven or eight days to reach a canyon at our current pace."

"After the earthquake and fire, I don't know how the landscape will change. If there aren't any major changes, I feel I can stay there for a while to escape the high temperatures."

The daytime temperature is 45 degrees Celsius, and it gets close to 40 degrees Celsius at night.

When the weather is hot and humid, people become particularly dehydrated.

Seven or eight days later, Xin Nian suspected that the temperature would soar to over 55 degrees Celsius, and that continuing to walk would definitely not be appropriate.

"That's the decision." Old Xin made the final decision.
