Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

Chapter 123 A Great Harvest: Discovering Another Use for Zombie Crystal Cores

After having lunch at home, Meng Tong went out to collect grain by himself.

Firstly, the sun was a bit too strong, and Meng Tong was worried that Lu Huai wouldn't be able to stand it. Secondly, she could quickly put things away, and as for the parts that needed to be peeled or skinned, she could find the little guy later.

As for the Lu Chuan and Lu He sisters, they remain the infrastructure trio.

After working for more than half a month, Lu Chuan had completed the basic framework and foundation, and even half of the walls had been built.

This one is slightly larger than the small courtyard in the valley, but the layout is almost the same, except that Meng Tong added a wall around the perimeter.

In the future, this courtyard will become the center of the entire villa, with everything else expanding outwards from it.

The kitchen, living room, toilet, and bathroom have all been built. Lu Chuan's task this afternoon is to bring water into the house.

The well has plenty of groundwater, more than enough for their family.

The measured and cut black water pipes were buried in the pre-reserved pit.

Lu Chuan arrived at the well. The man was only wearing a gray-white vest and black trousers, his strong and muscular body exposed to the air. The man was half-squatting below the well.

His strong, yet not intimidating, leg muscles were accentuated by his taut black trousers, as the electric drill he gripped caused water to splash around the well.

Not only were the man's wispy hairs on his forehead and his rugged features damp, but also his black trousers clung to his muscles.

If Meng Tong were to see this scene, she would probably understand the benefits of being a long-term employee.

It's incredibly attractive, especially the hormonal aura emanating from its body that can completely mesmerize you.

His lean waist combined with the strength in his arms, and the electric drill in his hand quickly drilled through to the pre-determined location for installing the water pipe.

A stream of clear water gushed out from the round hole. Lu Chuan turned to the side, casually wiping the water droplets off his face. The man didn't care at all that the already soaked fabric clung to his body.

After carefully putting away the electric drill that Meng Tong had given him, Lu Chuan squatted down again to pick up the water pipe head that was placed to the side.

Lu Chuan forcefully pushed the water pipe into the drilled hole and then applied the prepared glutinous rice ash paste around the outside of the water pipe.

As the mortar slowly solidified, the water pipe was firmly fixed in the stone, while the other side was buried in the well.

Lu Chuan stood up and called out towards the courtyard, then asked Lu Yan, who was standing by the wall, "Check if the water has come in the house yet?"

"Okay!"

He ran towards the kitchen in a few strides. The water pipes, which had been fixed to the wall, were already gushing water, and a large vat was placed underneath them.

The yard is located slightly lower than the well, so water can easily flow into the house.

I went to check the bathroom, and there was also a fixed water pipe running, but it was thicker than the one in the kitchen.

Meng Tong likes the water flow to be strong when taking a bath.

With the water problem solved, things became much easier. Lu Chuan cooked dinner directly in the kitchen of his new home that evening.

The first thing he built was the kitchen, and he had already put everything in place, including the stove, sink, and so on.

These were all suggestions from Meng Tong, which Lu Chuan readily accepted.

……

Night falls.

In the kitchen, which still exuded a faint chill, a bright luminous pearl was placed on the roof by Lu Chuan using a small bamboo lantern.

Wrapped in a light-blocking gauze, it was as if an electric light had been installed, illuminating the entire room exceptionally brightly.

Around a table of hot food, it was time for the family to enjoy dinner.

"Wife, have you finished harvesting the grain in the fields? Do you need me to go and help?"

At the dinner table, the man naturally served Meng Tong some food and asked her a question.

Swallowing a piece of meat, Meng Tong glanced at the little guy Lu Huai, who was drooling on the bamboo bed, and said with a smile, "We're almost done harvesting. Tomorrow we'll harvest the potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and other crops on the hillside, and that'll be it."

"The watermelons and other fruits in those few plots of land at the top are not ripe yet; they will be ready in a few days."

"Hmm, no rush," Lu Chuan replied with a smile. "Is Huai'er able to help today, as my wife said?"

"Yes, our Huai'er is amazing."

When Lu Chuan recounted his feat of the day, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Has the wheat already been hulled and turned into flour?"

The man's voice carried obvious disbelief as he glanced repeatedly at Lu Huai, who was sucking his thumb, and Meng Tong, who remained calm.

Lu Chuan's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he murmured, "He...is that amazing?"

"Mother, does my younger brother have such abilities?"

"He's amazing!"

Lu He and Lu Yan also came over to look at Meng Tong with curiosity, all three of them with astonishment in their eyes.

They couldn't believe that a baby just over six months old could play such a significant role.

It's practically a walking mill.

Meng Tong could only nod helplessly; she truly hadn't expected this.

The air fell silent. Lu Huai, still sucking his thumb, had no idea of ​​the ill intentions of the four people opposite him.

When he heard, "Son, come and help your father grind these soybeans," he said.

"Little brother, I have a few medicinal herbs that I need your help with."

"..."

But by then it was too late.

……

After spending two days harvesting all the grain in Duanshan Village, Meng Tong immediately went to the valley.

The harvest yielded no less than a hundred tons of ripe grain, and Meng Tong stayed in the valley for several nights.

After collecting the straw from the field and burning it as fertilizer, she used her supernatural ability to control a hoe and casually tilled the more than 100 acres of land.

She seems to be addicted to farming now, and can't stand seeing any empty land.

After quickly tilling the land in the valley, Meng Tong did not plant all grains as usual; this time, she planted medicinal herbs.

In nearly a year, she had collected many kinds of medicinal herbs, some of which she found herself in the deep mountains, and some of which she had plundered from the cave that time.

The medicinal herbs in the cave had already been prepared, so they couldn't be planted at all.

Thinking about the huge changes brought about by the zombie crystal core, Meng Tong also randomly found a few worthless plants to conduct experiments.

And sure enough, there were some new discoveries.

The prepared medicinal herbs are placed around the zombie crystal core, and over a long period of time, they will become more and more "fresh".

Of course, it's not about directly putting them back into the ground to replant, but rather about using their "freshness" to produce spores.

As long as these spores are planted in the ground, the same medicinal herbs will slowly grow again in that place.

It's the same principle as when Meng Tong picked mushrooms.

Although she didn't understand the underlying principles, Meng Tong drew a simple and straightforward conclusion for herself by looking at the tiny sprouts emerging around the medicinal herbs.
