Chapter 64: You’re Here for Tasting

It was still early. Xiaoxiao looked at the sky and could not think of any other entertainment in the village besides fishing. Hence, she carried the basket on her back, picked up the fishing rod, and went to add more food for dinner.
Ning Erlang could now complete the production of sour bamboo shoots independently. Ning Dalang had not returned from sending Shen Tianci off. Madam Song was busy with embroidery, so Xiaoxiao left on her own.
There was nothing to worry about when a twelve-year-old girl walked around the village. Madam Song gave her a few instructions and let her go. However, Ning Erlang shouted from the house, “Then 1’11 wash some pickles and wait for you to make Pickle Boiled Fish tonight!” Madam Song smiled at him. “You’re quite confident in your sister. Aren’t you afraid that she won’t be able to catch it?”
As the voice faded away, Xiaoxiao walked with her head held high. With her skills and the bait produced by the space, how could she not gain anything?
The space emitted a cheerful electronic voice: [Master, Master, the omelet rice, shredded sweet potato, and mushroom-brewed shrimp just now have been exchanged for another 600 points. Your current points are 1,860 points. 1 can level up again if you work harder and reach 2,000 points.]
Recently, Xiaoxiao had a lot of opportunities to cook seriously. If not for the fact that the ingredients were more ordinary, she might have scored more points. She used 20 points to exchange for the bait and found a space by the Dusk River to wait for the fish to take the bait.
She felt that today’s omelet rice tasted a little lacking. Even though the world was rich in ingredients and many spices could be bought, she could not show that she was too knowledgeable. Therefore, she had not seen anything like tomatoes, cauliflower, onion curry, and cumin.
It was said that Jingcheng City, which was half a month away from Fortune Village, had more abundant resources. If there was a chance, she would go and look.
Xiaoxiao sighed. “Huh, it’s a pity that you can only exchange for the ingredients I recorded, but I can find the ingredients I recorded myself. It’s so useless.”
The space felt that it was being despised, so it hurriedly cleared its name: [But
I can exchange for seeds that you don’t have the next time I level up!]
Xiaoxiao confirmed with it: [Can any seed work?]
The space felt itself straightening its back. [As long as you can think of it, I have it. My database is very large!]
By letting Xiaoxiao know how capable it was, the space could not help spoiling the show: [I still have rice seeds. It’s not the primitive rice seeds with low yield in the current acre, but the improved rice seeds in the world you’re in before!]
In other words, their family’s food production would double or even more?
In that case, filling their stomachs with two-acre plots of land didn’t seem impossible.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold it in anymore and especially came to her farm to see how the rice was growing.
Rice seeds had to be planted seedlings before they could be planted. After scattering the seeds into the fields, a layer of rice was sprinkled on the soil. When the seedlings grew to about eight centimeters, the seedlings could be transplanted.
There were already green seedlings sprouting. Even if she immediately upgraded the space to exchange for new rice seeds, she could not replace them without anyone knowing. Xiaoxiao touched the small green tips regretfully. Next year, she would change to new rice seeds and let her parents experience the joy of a bumper harvest!
After looking at the fields, she turned back to fish again. However, even with the bait given by the space, she could not calm down. After struggling, she put away the fishing rod and went home to think of a recipe to level up the space as soon as possible.
The next day, the Ning family had another guest. It was still the little fatty from yesterday, but Rong Yan didn’t care anymore. Looking at the wild rabbits he brought back from the mountains running energetically in the yard, he remembered Ning Xiaoxiao’s words yesterday, “Perfectly happy.”
It was just a meal, yet she had to confess such feelings. That girl was too unreserved.
At the corner of the wall, the guards whispered, “Why is Master so strange?”
They couldn’t see Rong Yan’s reddened ears and only wondered why he suddenly lay down when he was still reading just now. Wasn’t it too early to take an afternoon nap?
Under the cover of the legs of the table, Rong Yan saw the trembling rabbit in the corner. Its red eyes and white fur were basking in the sun lazily, and its ears were trembling as if it was paying attention to its surroundings. Rong Yan rubbed his fingers, picked up a vegetable leaf from the table, and threw it in front of it.
Piece by piece, they connected the path from it to him.
The rabbit was so frightened that it wanted to run. When it ran far away and realized nothing had happened, it tried to return. It held the vegetable leaf and sent it into its mouth. As it ate, it approached the food thrower.
Rong Yan heard the commotion in the Ning residence. The son of the Shen family shouted and asked what delicious food there was today as soon as he entered.
Rong Yan kicked the vegetables to his feet, scaring away the rabbit that had just approached.
No one heard him mutter softly, “You’re here for tasting..”
