Chapter 24 -24: Entering the Market Again

Mei Mengzhen was quite satisfied that the apple trees had taken root. It appeared that other fruits she planned to plant would also thrive here.

Afterwards, Mei Mengzhen approached the Osmanthus Tree and began her shopping journey in the Spatial Mall.

She started by purchasing the fruits she remembered, such as pears, bananas, lychees, oranges, longans, durians, cantaloupes, dragon fruits, kiwis, grapes, watermelons, pomelos, lemons, strawberries, cherries, vehicle cherries, nectarines, pineapples… Basically, she bought everything she could find in one go, and it didn’t matter if some were missing, she could simply plant them directly.

Of course, many fruits didn’t come from trees, and her space wasn’t picky about the ground. She just scattered seeds on the bare land, and they would grow naturally. For the fruits that needed trellises, she could just see which ones required support as she planted them. After all, their growth was so rapid that one could tell with the eyes whether they were growing straight or horizontally.

Take grapes for example; as soon as she noticed they weren’t climbing properly, she immediately bought a trellis and set it up, allowing the grapes to grow well.

All the seedlings were priced the same as the apple seedlings, at 5 yuan each. After placing a large order that cost her 250 yuan in one fell swoop, she felt that the number was particularly auspicious.

Wishing to make it more auspicious, Mei Mengzhen decided to spend another 250 yuan. She ordered a bunch of fences from the Spatial Mall to enclose birds like chickens, ducks, and geese, keeping them penned in.

Since she had already started, she might as well do it thoroughly in one go.

She sectioned off a part of the space, bought 5 piglets, 2 lambs, and 2 calves, and penned them in the enclosed area.

She also bought various kinds of fish fry and released them into her pond and the stream on one side of the space. Of course, she spread some lotus root seeds in the pond as well, not needing to worry whether they would grow well. With the efficiency of the space, she just had to wait for the harvest.

With these expenses, she naturally spent more than just 250 yuan. After adding fish fry and lotus root and setting up fences, another 250 yuan was spent. In total, she had spent 750 yuan today.

Looking at her Spatial Mall account balance, which was still quite full, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache. In fact, she even felt a bit of shopping desire because spending felt so good.

She didn’t plan on leaving just yet. She wanted to further replenish her space and also see how long it would take for these animals to grow.

She leaned against the Osmanthus Tree, scrolling through the Spatial Mall on one hand and keeping an eye on the growth on the other side.

An hour later, there was no noticeable change in the poultry; two hours passed, still no change; and after three hours without any change, Mei Mengzhen started to feel anxious. It didn’t make sense for there to be no change after three hours, given the rapid growth rate of the space.

She quickly opened the backend to contact customer service about the poultry, only to get a straightforward reply, “Have you fed them any feed? How can they grow without food!”

It was a revelation indeed.

She knew that poultry needed feed, but she hadn’t realized that the animals in her space also needed it.

After inquiring, she learned that a pig could grow full size after eating 3 bags of pig feed, a sheep would be ready after 4 bags of sheep feed, and the same went for cattle with 4 bags of cattle feed.

Chickens, ducks, and geese were easier to handle; one bag of feed was enough for 10 of them. Fish didn’t need much either; one bag of fish food for a bucket of fish fry.

Meaning, she had been waiting in vain for 3 hours.

Mei Mengzhen was dumbfounded and hurriedly searched for feed in the Spatial Mall.

The feed was surprisingly inexpensive. Pig, sheep, and cattle feed was 8 yuan per bag, chicken, duck, and goose feed was 6 yuan per bag. The most expensive was fish food at 10 yuan per bag, yet its weight was only one-fifth that of the other feeds.

She ordered 10 bags of fish food and 20 bags of all other feeds. The feed was then piled up by the poultry enclosure.

Just as she was about to pour out the feed, the function of the Osmanthus Tree became apparent. It automatically dispensed feed to the poultry. As she watched them eat more and grow bigger, Mei Mengzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been busy for several hours and was genuinely exhausted. After drinking a cup of Spiritual Spring Water, she went to sleep.

The next day, before her younger brother woke up, Mei Mengzhen packed the carrots and tomatoes she had planned the day before into boxes, and then she started preparing breakfast.

As for how the poultry in the space had developed, she didn’t have time to check at the moment, rushing to cook and eat. As soon as the dishes were washed, Liang Xiao arrived.

There was no rush. She led her visitor inside first, and after the group shared a large apple, they headed out.

The reason for sharing the apple was not because she was stingy but because it was simply too large for one person to finish after breakfast.

The group was slowly making their way down the road, pulling a cart. Liang Xiao couldn’t help but express her curiosity, “When did you bring these vegetables over? They look really fresh.”

“Not just fresh, the taste is great too. These are the same vegetables we ate yesterday. I’ll bring some for you to take back later,” she wasn’t too stingy to give Liang Xiao food. The only thing was, thinking about giving it to the Liang Family made her feel a bit reluctant.

Liang Xiao and Mei Mengzhen each pulled one side of the cart. Hearing that Mei Mengzhen was going to give her some vegetables, Liang Xiao quickly refused, “I don’t have any money, and if you give me vegetables, I won’t know what to say about where they’re from. I can’t just say they’re yours on sale.”

She remembered that yesterday Mei Mengzhen had mentioned that selling vegetables was a secret from her family. Given her mother’s temperament, if she found out, the whole town would know.

“Then I’ll provide meals; you can come and eat at my place.”

Liang Xiao still refused, “No, I can manage one or two meals, but if it’s too frequent, my family will stop cooking for me. I can’t just start cooking at your home, right? It’s fine. I can eat the vegetables raw later on, since both of these can be eaten that way.”

The tomatoes and carrots could indeed be eaten raw, “Then help yourself to more.”

“Okay,” Liang Xiao nodded in agreement. The two of them chatted and laughed, quickly pulling the cart to the Vegetable Market. They had left at 8 o’clock, and with a 15-minute walk, it was only 8:15. Unlike the day before, this time was peak hours. They attracted attention along the way with their fresh and clean vegetables, all the way until they parked the cart at the same snack stall from yesterday, where Sister Zhang greeted them with a wide smile.

“Ah, kiddo, I thought you weren’t coming today,” she welcomed.

“No, not at all. My vegetables aren’t just any kind, they don’t come in very early, so it’s a bit late,” Mei Mengzhen explained while unloading, but Sister Zhang reached out to help, “No need, Sister Zhang, we can do it ourselves.”

“Why be so polite? I see you and I have to lend a hand. You with those little arms and legs, I have no idea how you managed to unload yesterday’s vegetables.”

With Sister Zhang’s help, unloading the vegetables from the boxes became much easier. They arranged two boxes of vegetables directly on the ground. Mei Mengzhen then pulled the cart in, which also served as a seat for the three of them, sparing the hassle of carrying a chair with them.
