Chapter 160 Stewed Goose in an Iron Pot
As soon as Chen Yongqiang reached the foot of Qinglong Mountain, a system notification sounded in his mind:
[Blessing: Three naturally withered cedar trees have been detected on the south slope of the Mountain God Temple. The host can go there to obtain high-quality dry firewood. If new saplings are planted here after spring, 10 points of blessing will be gained.]
"This system is becoming more and more understanding; it provides whatever you need," Chen Yongqiang thought to himself, but he didn't rush to turn to the south slope.
He first went to the mountain god temple halfway up the mountain. After entering the temple, he respectfully lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, which was full of incense ash.
Then he found a broom and carefully swept the inside and outside of the temple.
Only after doing all this did Chen Yongqiang feel at ease, as if some kind of invisible contract had been fulfilled.
After putting the broom back in its place, Chen Yongqiang had a slight thought, and he entered the system space.
Although it was the dead of winter outside, the space was warm as spring.
He walked to the edge of the spirit field and looked at the small patch of thriving rice. "This batch of Rouge Rice will be ready for harvest soon."
Crops in the space are not affected by the external climate, and the flow of time is two to three times that of the outside world. Crops in the spiritual field can be harvested up to six times a year.
Chen Yongqiang continued walking forward; the apple saplings he had cultivated earlier had now grown to be twenty or thirty centimeters tall.
"It is estimated that it will grow to half a meter tall when it is transplanted next year."
This greatly speeds up the fruiting time of apple trees, which will become a stable source of income in the future.
He harvested the mature soybeans and replanted corn: "Now we can have bean products to eat."
After dealing with the matters in the space, Chen Yongqiang left the space and returned to the outside world.
Just as Chen Yongqiang was about to leave, he ran into Wang Guixiang. She was carrying a basket of offerings and heading towards the mountain god temple.
"Gui Xiang, come and worship the gods."
Wang Guixiang looked up and saw him, a smile spreading across her face: "So you're here. I didn't see you at your house earlier."
"I'm here to chop firewood and clean up the temple while I'm at it. Are you here to fulfill a vow or to make a wish?" Chen Yongqiang stepped aside to make way for him.
"Of course, it's to fulfill a vow and pray for the safety of the baby in my belly," Wang Guixiang said, stepping over the threshold into the temple and placing the basket on the altar.
A few months ago, she came to the mountain god temple to make a wish, hoping to have a big, healthy baby boy. Since she got together with Chen Yongqiang, she has indeed become pregnant, so she thought of coming to thank the mountain god.
Chen Yongqiang immediately understood, recalling that he had been intimate with Wang Guixiang behind the Mountain God statue before.
He has already blessed the child in Wang Guixiang's womb with the blessings of the mountain god, ensuring the safety of both mother and child.
Wang Guixiang took out a large goose and several offerings that she had prepared, arranged them on the altar, and then turned to Chen Yongqiang: "You should also come and pray, this child is your offspring."
Chen Yongqiang didn't say much, but walked over and knelt down with Wang Guixiang in front of the mountain god statue.
Wang Guixiang muttered to herself, "Thank you, Mountain God, for giving me a big, healthy son. I've come today to give you my thanks..."
"May the child be safe and healthy, and may the child's father make a lot of money..."
Chen Yongqiang turned his head to look at Wang Guixiang. Just as she bowed her head to kowtow, a system notification sounded in his mind:
[By leading some people to get rich first, the number of loyal followers of the Mountain God has increased by 1, leaving 99.]
"Is that all?" Chen Yongqiang was slightly surprised.
But on second thought, it made sense. What he planned to do for Wang Guixiang was to start a business wholesaling wild medicinal herbs.
Although he may not become extremely wealthy, this will be the first self-employed individual to emerge in Shimen Village, and also a future household with an income of ten thousand yuan.
Chen Yongqiang thought to himself, "Next, I need to help Ding Wanru and Liang Meie get rich too."
He prioritizes women, and as for Lin Xiulian, she only needs to stay at home and be beautiful.
After worshipping the mountain god, Wang Guixiang packed up the offerings: "I'm going straight back to town in a bit. I don't want Liu Qiaozhu to know that I went back to Shimen Village."
"Then be careful on your way. I still need to chop firewood, so I won't see you off." Chen Yongqiang knew that Liu Qiaozhu was a troublesome person, and it would be best to avoid running into him.
Wang Guixiang carried her basket and walked away along the path down the mountain.
Chen Yongqiang watched her figure disappear behind the trees before turning around and walking towards the south slope of the mountain god temple.
Sure enough, three fir trees, each as thick as a person's embrace, stood there, their bark grayish-white and branches bare, long since lifeless.
"If we bring these three trees back, we'll have enough firewood for this winter."
He took out the saw he had prepared in his storage space, chose the right spot to cut, and got to work.
As he sawed, Chen Yongqiang thought to himself, "I must buy a tractor next year."
"We can just bring coal back from the mine to burn, which is convenient and burns for a long time, so we won't have to go through all this trouble to prepare so much firewood every year."
"However, cooking and stir-frying dishes taste better when done with firewood."
The first tree fell in the intended direction, hitting the snow with a dull thud, startling a few crows in the distance.
The system notification said that I should come back in the spring to replant the seedlings.
He made a note of it. Ten points of good fortune might not seem like much, but little by little, it's always good.
Chen Yongqiang plans to replant a few good seedlings on the spot, as a way of giving back to nature.
He sawed the deadwood into sections about one meter long, stored them all in his spatial storage, and planned to chop them up slowly when he got back.
Just as he was about to descend the mountain, Chen Yongqiang suddenly saw a brownish-yellow shadow slowly moving on the snow a few dozen meters away.
He immediately crouched down and crept closer. When he saw the creature's large, upright ears and round, plump rear end, he couldn't help but grin: "So it's just a silly roe deer."
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was still in the room, but it was useless against such a curious and slow-reacting "idiot".
As the roe deer drew closer, it suddenly stood up from its hiding place and shouted, "Ho!"
The roe deer was so frightened that its four legs stiffened, and it fell to its side in the snow, motionless, as if stunned.
Chen Yongqiang walked over unhurriedly, looking at its silly appearance: "I bought mutton today, so I'll spare your life for now."
As he spoke, he had a thought and put the terrified roe deer into his spatial storage.
When he returned to the village, Chen Yongqiang had several pieces of wood on his sled. When he went out to chop firewood, he always had to make a proper appearance.
Passing by Ding Wanru's house, I saw bluish-white smoke rising from her chimney.
He glanced into the courtyard and saw Ding Wanru carrying a winnowing basket as she came out of the main room.
"Brother Yongqiang, you're back from chopping wood? Come in and rest your feet, have some hot water to warm yourself up." Ding Wanru saw him too, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Chen Yongqiang pulled the sled into the yard and loosened the rope: "Do you need firewood? I chopped a lot today, so I'll share some with you."
"Really, no need, Brother Yongqiang. We have enough saved up at home to last for a while."
In the countryside, you can never have too much firewood. Chen Yongqiang had already started unloading the wood from the sled. "Shall I stack it next to the kitchen for you?"
Seeing his insistence, Ding Wanru stopped refusing and pointed to a dry open space under the eaves: "There it is. The goose you gave me is already stewed."
Chen Yongqiang unloaded a few pieces of firewood before turning around and going into the house.
Ding Wanru brought a pot of stewed goose from the kitchen: "Try it and see if you like what I made."
