The casual life of the flat space

"Haha, you silly child, you are talking nonsense. You and the ancestor are close friends regardless of age. Doesn't that mean you are a generation older than me?" Madam Zhou said angrily.

"No, no, I won't say anything."

"Hey, I'm just kidding! The old man and I like your honesty, so please don't let me hold you back. Let's go inside and talk!"

When she approached the old ancestor, before Bai Tieying could even greet him, the old ancestor signaled her not to do so and asked her to sit beside the bed.

"Grandpa, you look much more energetic. Have you been eating on time these days?"

"Haha, I ate it, but they didn't let me eat meat, saying it was good for my stomach. Oh, my mouth has no taste! If it weren't for the wild fruits you brought, I would have been really sad."

"Loss of taste in your mouth? That really hurts your spleen and stomach. Just be obedient and eat meat in a few days. If you really want to eat it, I have a recipe here, but it costs a little more to make."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, what is it worth for spending so much money?"

Then, Bai Tieying told the ancestor a recipe for boiled cabbage that he had seen in the past. It made her drool, and she asked Madam Zhou to make it quickly.

Mrs. Zhou was a little embarrassed at this time, and said, "Ancestor, there is pork in it!"

"It's okay, just do as Tieying said."

"Grandfather, this is the method, but you don't have to be so serious about it. If you don't like it, just ask the chef to change it to something you like. But you have to keep this cooking method a secret! My uncle doesn't let me tell you..." Bai Tieying said and lowered his head, as if he had just remembered his uncle's instructions.

The old lady also realized what was wrong. Such a laborious recipe must not be something a country girl like her could know. That must be Doctor Bai...

"Okay, I won't tell you. Don't worry. I'll tell your uncle later. He won't blame you!"

The old ancestor said to the people around him: "Did you all hear it? If anyone is not careful, don't blame me."

Madam Zhou and the maids in the room agreed that they dared not to. Madam Zhou thought, only my family knows about this, right? In the future, if I want to please the ancestor, I will have one more trick. This Bai Tieying is really my lucky star!

Although the old ancestor herself couldn't eat anything, she had people bring snacks and fruits to Bai Tieying. Not to mention the snacks, most of the fruits were not seen in the local area.

Not to mention the dried fruits like Torreya grandis and chestnuts that Bai Tieying didn't buy, there were five or six kinds of pears alone, and two or three kinds of other fruits such as peaches, dates, tangerines, oranges, cherries, grapes, and watermelons.

Bai Tieying also bought plums, apples, hawthorns, pomegranates, and lotus roots, which are said to be available all year round by our ancestors. Bai Tieying was amazed to see loquats, olives, longans, lychees, sugar canes, and bananas, which are fruits from the south, appear in the north thousands of miles away.

This time, Bai Tieying also bought all the fruits she could find, intending to plant them in the orchard. However, many of the Zhou family's fruits were not available on the market, which meant that they were bought specifically for her family to eat. Money really allows you to do whatever you want!

After Bai Tieying picked a few to eat, he wondered how he could buy some to plant back home. It was not impossible to ask the Zhou family for them, but his image would collapse!

The old ancestor looked at Bai Tieying bending down to wash his hands, and gave a wink to Madam Zhou, who nodded to indicate that she understood.

After chatting with the old ancestor for a while, Bai Tieying said goodbye. When he came out, there were more than ten maids holding food boxes standing at the door. Mrs. Zhou smiled and said:

"Tieying, you see, not only did you make the old ancestor happy, you also gave him a dish of boiled cabbage. Grandma didn't have much to express her gratitude, so she packed some of the snacks and fruits for you. Here is a part of it, and there are still some that need to be carried outside. In addition, this is a little gift from me, and I hope you can accept it."

Mrs. Zhou prepared another small box for Bai Tieying according to her understanding of the value of the dish, but Bai Tieying refused it, saying sincerely that the fruits were enough. It was really enough. Although she saw how rich people lived, she really didn't want to sell the recipe. These fruits were what she liked.

Seeing her determination, Mrs. Zhou stopped insisting and said to Bai Tieying, "I wanted my family to taste the fruit, but I didn't have the courage to say it just now." This Tieying is such a good child!

When Bai Tieying came out of the yard, it was even more lively outside. The servants, carrying things on their shoulders, carrying baskets, and carrying poles, stood in two rows. Bai Tieying's cherry tree was among them.

Mother Zhou hurried over and said, "My dear, those cherries are really delicious. I was lucky enough to be rewarded with some. They are fresher and more flavorful than cherries from other places! Our ancestor was afraid that you would worry about them, so he asked us to pick them and freeze them. This way, you don't have to worry about our ancestor, and you can enjoy them for a long time!"

"That's good. I'll trouble Granny Zhou then."

Bai Tieying could hear people talking outside all the way in the carriage, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She also wanted to keep a low profile, but her strength didn't allow it. Besides, she really wanted these fruits. So she just said it. Isn't that how you develop thick-skinned skin?

Sure enough, when Mrs. Zhou and her group left, Uncle's beard was almost plucked out by himself. He had always been low-key, but today there were two groups of people, and the second group was even more frightening. It was not until Bai Tieying coaxed the old man and said that he would make more delicious food for him and memorize the herbal illustrations within ten days that he stopped.

Bai Tiexiong naturally went into the space with his sister to arrange the snacks and fruits. Dafu stared at the place they left, thinking about something in his mind.

Bai Tieying planted lotus roots, Chinese torreya, chestnuts, sugar cane and banana trees directly. Under her control, the lotus roots soon gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and they filled half of the fish pond. This made the ducks and geese very happy. They swam in one by one and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Torreya grandis and chestnuts quickly bore fruit under the accelerated time, but sugarcane and banana remained as they were. Bai Tieying vaguely remembered watching the breeding videos of the two, but could not remember them clearly, so she could only leave them here for now. As for the others, they were all put in the kitchen, waiting to be planted again after they were eaten.

When Bai Tieying finished cooking and brought out the meal, she saw Uncle Dafu staring at her, which frightened her so much that she almost dropped the dish in her hand. "When will I be able to see outside in the space!" Bai Tieying shouted in her heart for the first time.
