Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Back in his room, Su Bai immediately opened the system.

[Initial Task 2: Plant lettuce and harvest 50 jin (25 kg). Accept Task/Reject Task.]

Without hesitation, Su Bai clicked to accept the mission, and the content on the screen in front of him immediately changed.

[Initial Task Two accepted. Please harvest 50 jin of lettuce according to the planting methods provided by the system. Completion time: Within three months. Reward: 5% activation of Shennong Bloodline. Penalty: 80% increase in difficulty for the formal task.]

Su Bai lingered on the punishment for a while. Although he didn't know what the official mission was, he knew that increasing the difficulty of the mission was not a good thing. So Su Bai decided to finish the first mission as soon as possible and prepare for the second mission as well.

Lettuce is one of Su Bai's favorite vegetables, so when he ordered seeds online, he bought five packs at once. He planned to grow more, keeping the rest for himself, except for the ones required for the mission.

After buying the seeds and other supplies, Su Bai went to look up how to grow lettuce. Just like when he looked up how to grow bok choy, he read it carefully, word by word, and even made some marks, highlighting the important points.

He lost track of time while looking at it, and it was already 8 p.m. when Hua Jueming called him to dinner. He didn’t notice it when he was focused on his work, but once he stopped, he realized that his stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.

Su Bai arrived at the restaurant with slightly hurried steps, and his mouth watered as he looked at the bowl of seafood noodles on the table.

After quickly filling his stomach, Su Bai patted his belly contentedly, "I'm so full!"

"I'm glad you like it, Madam!" Hua Jueming said happily. It was worth it for him to dig out this sheep spirit who was good at cooking from the mountains.

"I love it!" Su Bai thought the Hua family chef's skills were a million times better than the Su family's. "I want to eat this again tomorrow night!"

"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen tomorrow."

"Thank you, Butler Hua," Su Bai said softly.

"It's my duty." Hua Jueming never forgot the task Hua Gengchen had given him: to take good care of Su Bai!

Su Bai once again made a firm note of the matter of raising Hua Jueming's salary. Such a dedicated housekeeper deserved a raise!

During the three or four days of waiting for the lettuce seeds to be delivered and for the greenhouse to be built, Su Bai visited Wang Ming again and talked to him a lot about his ideas for the estate. During this time, Hua Jueming stayed by Su Bai's side with a wary attitude. Whenever Wang Ming got even a little close to Su Bai, Hua Jueming would stare at Wang Ming with a very intense gaze, and Wang Ming would instantly shrink into a ball like a frightened little animal.

Su Yangxia had been trying to contact Su Bai by phone for the past few days, whether to continue testing him or to explain, but Su Bai didn't seem to care. The first time Su Yangxia called him, Su Bai blocked him and then ignored him completely.

The waiting time passed both slowly and quickly. When Hua Jueming told Su Bai that the construction of the villa was completed, Su Bai decisively put aside the matter of sprouting the lettuce and the new batch of bok choy and rushed to the villa.

The completely renovated villa surprised Su Bai, who secretly marveled at how good it was to be rich. What should have been a construction period of no less than half a month was completed in just three to five days.

Hua Jueming had no idea what Su Bai was thinking. If he did, he might not have been able to help but laugh.

"Now that the infrastructure is all set up, the next step is to grow vegetables and start selling them!" Su Bai said excitedly, gesturing wildly. "Once we make some money, I'll buy even more land and grow even more vegetables!"

"Then congratulations, Madam!" Hua Jueming couldn't help but think of how the demons were now eating the spiritually rich vegetables grown by Su Bai, no longer forced into hibernation. "What name does Madam plan to give the manor? Or perhaps what name to give the online store?"

"I've already thought of this!" Su Bai said proudly, "Let's call it Shennong Manor!" He chose to farm because of the Shennong System, and he also has the blood of Shennong, so this name is very fitting.

"A good name!" Hua Jueming praised, "This name truly represents a lot."

"I think it's great too!" Su Bai even planned to make a plaque for the villa and name it Shennong Manor. "Right now, all that's left is to start farming and open the online store. Butler Hua, when we went to the hospital to see Wang Ming the day before yesterday, didn't his attending physician say that he could be discharged tomorrow?"

“Yes, Madam.” Hua Jueming replied somewhat reluctantly, but he concealed it well, and Su Bai did not notice anything amiss.

Hua Jueming really wished Wang Ming would just disappear from the human world. His master didn't even appear in Su Bai's mouth as often as Wang Ming, which made him very worried, very, very worried!

His master has not shown any signs of returning yet, and he is really worried that by the time his master comes back, Su Bai will have forgotten who Hua Gengchen really is.

“I have time tomorrow and can pick up Wang Ming from the hospital.” Compared to Su Bai picking up Wang Ming in person, Hua Jueming preferred to go by himself, at least it would reduce the chances of Wang Ming and Su Bai having contact.

Su Bai belongs to his master!

Su Bai looked at Hua Jueming in surprise. He hadn't even mentioned going to pick up Wang Ming yet, so why did Hua Jueming bring it up first?

"Then I'll have to trouble Butler Hua." Su Bai was a little confused, but he really didn't have the time, so it would be great if Hua Jueming was willing to go.

Before leaving the manor, Su Bai went to check on the growth of the bok choy. He hadn't seen them for a few days, and the bok choy had suddenly changed.

Before, it looked like a vegetable seedling with only two or three leaves, two of which were cotyledons. But now the cotyledons have disappeared, and there are already three or four true leaves.

Generally speaking, bok choy is harvested and packaged for sale when it has grown to seven or eight true leaves. But since Su Bai grew it himself, he naturally wanted to eat the freshest and tenderest parts. Su Bai picked a handful of the larger ones, intending to take them back as a side dish for seafood noodles.

As soon as Su Bai picked the last bok choy, a line of words flashed in his eyes.

[Initial Task 1 is 0.7% complete]

Su Bai stared blankly at the words in front of him for a moment, then was overjoyed.

He only picked a small handful of the larger ones from one of the ten pots, which was 0.7% of the total. Fifty pounds isn't a lot! In another four or five days, when the bok choy has grown to five or six leaves, he'll have to complete most of the task from those ten pots.

Su Bai was thrilled by this unexpected surprise. He couldn't wait to plant the new batch of bok choy and the lettuce from the second initial task. With these ten pots of bok choy as a reference, Su Bai had a general idea of ​​what fifty jin (25 kg) meant.

"Butler Hua, could you take these vegetables back for me and tell the kitchen I want to eat them tonight? And could you also..." Before he could finish speaking, Su Bai changed his mind and took back the vegetables he had handed over. "Never mind, I'll just go myself! Let's hurry and get on the bus home." He really didn't trust anyone else to move the seeds that he had already partially sprouted, even though he knew Hua Jueming was thorough.

Hua Jueming's outstretched hand fell to nothing. He stared at his empty hand and sighed with regret.

He longed to experience firsthand the vegetables grown by the descendants of Shennong, even though he could easily sense them with his demonic power. But he hadn't touched vegetables containing spiritual energy, even those with only a faint layer of it, in such a long time that he'd almost forgotten the exact amount of time.

After Su Bai got into the car, he realized that Hua Jueming hadn't followed. He shouted at Hua Jueming, "Butler Hua!"

Hua Jueming snapped back to reality, quickly assessed the situation, strode to the car, and apologized to Su Bai, "Sorry..." But before he could finish, Su Bai interrupted him, "It's alright, get in the car quickly." Su Bai only had one thing on his mind right now: to plant the germinated seeds as soon as possible!

He wanted to complete the initial tasks one and two as quickly as possible.

"Thank you, Madam." Almost as soon as Hua Jueming finished speaking, he was already sitting in the passenger seat. Su Bai, absorbed in his own thoughts, did not realize that this speed was beyond human capability.

It only takes a few minutes to drive from the villa to the Hua family home. As soon as the car stopped, before Hua Jueming could even open the car door for Su Bai, Su Bai had already run to the door.

Hua Jueming quickly got out of the car and followed Su Bai, while instructing the driver to turn the car around properly so as not to delay Su Bai's business.

Su Bai handed the bok choy to the servant and asked him to tell the kitchen to add it to his seafood noodles that evening. Then he went to the room where seeds were germinated and picked out the sprouted seeds one by one.

After selecting the seeds, Su Bai carefully wrapped them in a soft tissue and then hurriedly left the house.

Upon arriving at the villa, Su Bai first went to the storeroom where he stored his belongings. There, he took out the hoe that the Shennong System had provided for him before heading towards the greenhouse.

Because the land had already been tilled when weeding, there's no need to hoe it now. Just level the prepared land again, break up the large clumps of soil, and then you can evenly scatter the sprouted seeds on top.

After all the seeds have been sown, pick up the clods of soil with your hands, crush them, and sprinkle them evenly over the seeds to cover them with a thin layer. Then water them and you're done.

"Completed!" Su Bai looked at the land in front of him, which was clearly different from other places, and smiled with satisfaction.

Once the greenhouse is built, he can follow the planting method given by the system completely. After 7-10 days, when the seeds have grown one or two true leaves, he can start transplanting. About a month after transplanting, he can harvest the seeds. At that time, he will have completed all the tasks issued by the system.

After Su Bai stopped what he was doing, Hua Jueming immediately brought him water to wash his hands and snacks and juice to replenish his energy. If it weren't for the future of the demon race, how could he let his master's partner do such a hard job as farming?

Even just mentioning it would make him bleed!

But Hua Jueming really couldn't help with this matter; all he could do were these miscellaneous tasks.
