Fan Tianyu just wanted to see Mei Mengzhen’s work environment, and the concept of a spatial dimension was indeed very miraculous. It was understandable that he wanted to take a look, but if Mengzhen was reluctant, he certainly wouldn’t insist. "Well, let’s give it a try, I just want to see what the space is actually like."
"The original space was quite nice, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, but I’ve piled up too much stuff and all sorts of things in there. Plus, in order to harvest, I’ve utilized every piece of land to its utmost, so there’s not much space left. Anyway, let’s just try."
Mengzhen sat on the sofa and used her thoughts to bring her Tianyu into the space. However, Tianyu saw Mengzhen disappear on the sofa while he himself was firmly stuck on it. Tianyu exclaimed in surprise, "Zhenzhen, bring me in too, how did you go in by yourself?"
Mengzhen heard Tianyu’s voice in the space, but didn’t see him. She immediately came out of the space and once again sat on the sofa.
Tianyu said helplessly, "You’re supposed to bring me with you."
"I did try to bring you with my thoughts, see? You didn’t come in though." Mengzhen thought for a moment and said, "Give me your hand, holding hands I might be able to bring you in."
Mengzhen took Tianyu’s hand, and this time it was different. Tianyu was truly brought into the space by Mengzhen. Looking at the miraculous place in front of him, Tianyu marveled, "So this is the space? It’s really amazing, we really just came in like that."
Mengzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "So this is how you’re supposed to be brought in, Brother Tianyu. This is the space, I’ll take you around."
No matter how the space was upgraded, the place where Mengzhen always entered was next to the Osmanthus Tree. Mengzhen, supporting herself on the Osmanthus Tree, said, "This is our old home’s Osmanthus Tree. In the past, I had to touch the Osmanthus Tree to open the Spatial Mall after entering the space. But after the upgrades, it’s no longer necessary."
Next to the Osmanthus Tree was the Spiritual Spring. She pointed at it and explained, "This is Spiritual Spring Water, which can cure all sorts of illnesses. Every time I get injured, I soak in the Spiritual Spring Water. Occasionally, I’ve also given you all some Spiritual Spring Water to nourish your bodies."
Upon hearing this, Tianyu’s thoughts went in a different direction: "Are you saying that I’ve drunk your bath water?"
"Nonsense, I scoop the water into a bathtub to soak in it. It’s not like I just jump in. I have to drink it too, how could I possibly just soak in it?"
Hearing Mengzhen get upset, Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, that’s good."
Under Mengzhen’s contemptuous gaze, she took him over to where the black soil was. Mengzhen pointed at it and said, "See, because of the fixed harvests, all these vegetables are planted and harvested automatically. It all used to be done by me – sowing the seeds and harvesting the crops. Once they’re harvested, I just pile them on the side. I have to clear these things off from time to time; if I pile them too much, it gets messy."
But actually, it wasn’t that messy, because once this side was harvested, the other side would automatically turn into different pickles. So these harvested vegetables would just disappear on their own, the pile of vegetables constantly growing and diminishing.
Next, they went to look at the wheat field, the fruit trees, the Breeding Factory, and finally, the seafood breeding area.
"This is a recent addition, I dug it out and added sea water I bought from the Spatial Mall. I was afraid the seafood wouldn’t survive, so I also mixed in some Spiritual Spring Water, which is why the seafood is actually growing quite well."
After making the rounds, Tianyu realized this space was indeed quite large, and the temperature was comfortable with very fresh air. But after the tour, Tianyu noticed there was one place they hadn’t seen yet. "I see there’s a thatched cottage over there, what’s inside?"
"I made these by myself, but that cottage comes with the space. You think it looks small, right? But it’s actually big and even has several floors."
Tianyu was skeptical. "It doesn’t look that big from the outside, so how can it possibly have several floors?"
Mengzhen led him inside, and they were now on the first floor of the thatched cottage. "This first floor used to be filled with vegetable seeds. After I planted them all, this floor became empty. Now, it’s filled with bottles of wine."
The first floor was quite spacious and even the ceiling was high. This room alone, without boasting, could store at least a few hundred boxes of wine, each box holding 12 bottles. It seemed to include all different kinds from the outside. "I stored the wine here because the Spatial Mall’s storage cabinet couldn’t fit anymore. Mainly because lately, Brother Zhang and Brother Hao ordered too much, so I produced some extra—better safe than sorry. Let’s go downstairs."
After explaining, Mengzhen led Tianyu down one floor. Tianyu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you can really go up and down here."
However, upon reaching the lower floor, Tianyu was so shocked he didn’t know how to react. "This, this, this..."
There were Ginsengs as thick as an adult’s arm, which couldn’t even be kept in boxes, they all lay scattered on the ground, not to mention the even larger Ganoderma supplements. Mengzhen explained, "I didn’t plant these; the previous owner did. She stored these things here, but they’re too big for me to dare to take out. Also, I’m afraid they’re too potent to eat. When we were in Xincheng, making Chicken Soup for our family, I only dared to put a few tiny roots in the soup to cook, afraid that eating too much might lead to nosebleeds."
After showing Tianyu around the basement, they went back up. The upper floors were filled with books and other things that Mengzhen couldn’t understand, and neither could Tianyu. Mengzhen led him towards the wall and opened a few boxes, showing him one that contained Gold. She explained, "When I had no startup capital initially, I used a piece of gold, but after I started earning money, I bought a similar piece of gold and put it back inside. Of course, modern gold is not as pure as the old ones, oh, and I’ve also sold some jewelry, but I also made up for it by purchasing items of equivalent value."
Amid Tianyu’s astonishment, Mengzhen took him to another crucial box, pointing at it she said, "The face powders and spices we’re selling now were found in this box."
For convenience, Mengzhen certainly wasn’t going to put them back. She took Tianyu to the desk and showed him the books, "The useful ones, the ones we need, I’ve taken out. Because we need a lot of vegetables, I dare not plant too many medicinal herbs, so we can only go slowly, little by little, choosing the most important and urgent things to produce."
Tianyu flipped through some of the books on the desk. He could understand these texts, but when he learned about these matters, he truly felt that Mengzhen was shouldering a lot.
"Zhenzhen, you must have been very tired these past few years."
