Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

Chapter 29: Urgent Need

Qiao Mai, who was busy eating, slowly looked up and immediately felt like crying.

"I say, why are you still haunting me? Hmm?"

"Apple, I want to eat the apples."

Qiao Mai wanted to cry. Does he think she looks like an apple?

"No, if you want to eat fruit, go find your sister."

She steeled her heart and continued eating. She had to feed herself first. After a tiring day, she still had to find an inn to rest.

The little boy doesn't walk, as if he could get the fruit just by standing there.

Qiao Mai had almost finished her meal when his sister walked over.

"What fate. We meet again." In fact, she had been standing at the side and watching for a long time.

Qiao Mai raised her head and said, "I'm too hungry. Let me eat first."

The girl was not in a hurry to bring her brother along. She sat opposite Qiao Mai and watched her eat. Even so, it did not affect Qiao Mai's speed.

After devouring two dishes, a bowl of rice, and half a pot of water, she was finally not hungry anymore.

She called the waiter to pay the bill before talking to the two people opposite her.

"Are you guys here to eat too?"

"Yes, I felt that we were fated, so I came forward to strike up a conversation with you. I hope you don't mind."

Qiao Mai thought, "I mind. Why wouldn't I mind? Your little brother almost scared me to death."

"What's the matter? If there's nothing else, I have to go."

The girl was a little embarrassed. "My name is Wang Jiaru. This is my brother, Wang Zihan. You can see that he's not very good here." She gestured to his head.

"I could tell a long time ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given the apple to him."

"I don't even know how to thank you."

"Young Lady, you are too polite."

Qiao Mai didn't know why she wanted to get to know her, so she looked at them indifferently.

"Well, you know, it's not the ripe season for apples yet. We have to wait until mid-July to eat it. Sister, do you still have this fruit? This little brother of mine really likes it."

"No, there were only two. I gave him one."

"Did you buy it?"

"On the way here, a man was selling them by the roadside. He said he picked them from the mountains. I saw they were rare, so I bought two."

The girl revealed a disappointed expression. It seemed that she was indeed a good sister to this younger brother of hers.

Qiao Mai thought about the two boxes of strawberries without seeds. She turned around and took them out of the basket.

"I see that he likes to eat fruits. Look, I have two boxes of such fruits here. I wonder if it will solve your urgent need."

When the girl saw the strawberries, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Oh, these are berries, right? They grew out so early?"

"I got these by accident and wanted to keep them for myself. If you like them, I'll sell them to you."

She can't possibly give it to them for free. Qiao Mai only recognizes money.

Miss Wang quickly looked at the maid following her not far away.

"Give ten taels of silver to this sister."

"Yes, Miss!"

Five taels per box was not expensive. If Qiao Mai bought strawberries like this in her previous life, it would have cost at least twenty to thirty yuan per box.

A box of these was a pound, two boxes were two pounds.

Qiao Mai took the silver, but her expression did not look happy. Miss Wang asked carefully.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll pay more?"

"It's enough."

After putting away the silver, Qiao Mai stood up and was about to leave. Miss Wang hurriedly asked.

"May I know where this sister's home is? Can we be friends?"

"Tianshui Town. I'm just a small vendor. I'll pass."

"What do you usually sell?"

"Watermelons and ice cubes, which are sourced from the prefecture. I will come to Wei City every once in a while."

"That's great. If sister comes back with fresh fruits, can you sell them to me at my house?"

Qiao Mai thought for a moment. "Sure, where is your house?"

"It's on the street behind this. You'll see it as soon as you come. I'll tell the gatekeeper. They definitely won't mistreat you."

Seeing that the girl was polite and humble, Qiao Mai nodded.

"Next time, then."

Miss Wang was happy that her brother was no longer making a fuss. He hugged the two boxes of strawberries tightly and ate them attentively.

"Then when would you send it?"

"How about this? Tomorrow morning, I'll send a batch of fruits to your family. You can eat them for a while."

Having finally achieved her goal, Miss Wang heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

"Then I will wait at the door with my brother in the morning?"

"There's no need to be too early. I'll be there when the sun rises."

"Alright."

Qiao Mai picked up the basket and did not say anything more to them. She walked out of the restaurant and left them with her back view.

"Miss, isn't ten taels of silver too expensive for these two boxes?"

Miss Wang patted Wang Zihan's head. "It's not expensive. Back then, His Majesty the Emperor had people rush to the south to transport lychees. Many horses were exhausted just to make a beauty smile. Now is not the season for berries to be on the market. To be able to eat such berries is already enough. This is something that money can't buy, understand?"

"This servant understands."

Qiao Mai turned left and right and found an inconspicuous inn on a street.

Those who stayed here were mostly ordinary people like her.

She asked for an ordinary guest room for 100 coins a night. She didn't care about anything as long as she could sleep.

She closed the door, entered her space, and came to Ling'er's side. When the little fellow saw her, her little mouth twitched, and she was about to cry.

Qiao Mai quickly went forward to change her diapers and put on a new one. Then, she held her in her arms.

"You must be hungry, baby. I'll make you some milk powder now."

"Ah, ah!"

Ling'er opened her mouth and begged for food. She looked extremely cute.

After making the milk powder, Qiao Mai took a small spoon and fed Ling'er spoonful by spoonful. Perhaps she was too hungry, but Ling'er's two small hands wanted to snatch the spoon away.

Half an hour later, the little girl was full. Qiao Mai turned her head up and let her lean on her shoulder. She gently patted her back and slowly walked out of the house.

The seven quails had eaten and drunk their fill. Qiao Mai didn't know where they had gone to nest.

When she came to the strawberry field, she saw another piece of land beside the strawberry field. There were also strawberries growing in it, just as she had imagined.

Qiao Mai smiled happily. With such a pattern, she wouldn't have to plant and harvest in the future.

She carried Ling'er back to the freezer. The oil she put in yesterday was still frozen inside.

So far, she had discovered that only the consumables she had placed in her space in her previous life could be replicated. She had not found anything that could be replicated after coming here.

To prove what she thought, she took the bowl out of the freezer and deliberately put it in her mouth from a corner.

However, after waiting for half an hour, the replicated oil did not appear.

Although she was a little disappointed, Qiao Mai was still very satisfied.

Not only could the black soil replicate itself, but it could also replicate the crops inside. The consumables stored in the past could also be replicated. This was already heaven-defying. She could not ask for more from the space.

That night, Qiao Mai did nothing but play with the child. The mother and daughter slept together.

The next day, Qiao Mai got up and paid for the room. She left the inn and went to the grocery store to buy a few small baskets. Thinking that she would come to the prefecture often in the future, it would be inconvenient to take someone else's carriage. She might as well buy her own.

Hence, she went to the farmer's market and picked a tall, big, and full of vigor purplish-red stallion in its prime.

In her previous life, she liked riding horses but always had to ride them on the horse track. If she wanted to own a better horse, it would cost hundreds of thousands. She could afford to buy a horse but had no place to raise one.

She could only enjoy herself at the horse track. Now that she was here, she could ride horses freely.

This horse was strong and had a good character. She walked over to it, and it did not resist. She bought it for a hundred taels of silver.

She spent another twenty taels of silver to buy a caravan that could transport goods and people. No one could see what was in the carriage. How good was it?

When she was busy, she would use it to transport goods. When she was free, she would ride a horse.
