Chapter 194: Harvesting the Crops

Long Haoran reproduced more dishes using the picture book and successfully replicated every dish and every buff before he was satisfied.

He closed the tab not wanting for the dishes to be eaten cold.

The instant the gluttons heard the sounds of the kitchen door being opened and the fine footsteps hurriedly stood from their seats and helped Long Haoran to bring the dishes on the table.

The smell emitting from the cooked food made the gluttons swallowed their saliva.

"Kya!" (Handsome Brother, I’m now your number 1 fan! If only I could have you for my own...)

"Ji ji ji." (I’m going to eat so much tonight. Pig, it’s still too early to dream, wait until you’re asleep.)

The lotus gave the radish a fierce look.

Little Mantou’s tail also swished wildly at the scent of the food and his tongue stuck outside.

"Little Mantou, go call Brother Siri and Martial Aunt." Li Chunhua helped Chef Long bring the pots of rice and noodle soup.

The little fox quickly run outside, sniffed the air to locate the two. He found Elga near the pens asking the livestock to attack her gears. He spotted the Elf at the greenhouse, watering the soil with a bowl.

The two went to wash their hands and followed the fox to the main residence.

Long Haoran placed the eating utensils. The two gluttons assisted in setting the plates, bowls, glasses and chopsticks.

After the preparation was done, Li Chunhua uttered a small prayer before they ate.

Long Haoran as habit, placed some food on Li Chunhua’s a bowl of rice, with mostly of it being the bacon slices and fried golden polypore.

"Chef Long, eat more to gain some weight too. You look thin." Li Chunhua also returned the kind gestures and filled Long Haoran’s bowl until the food piled up like a mountain.

Long Haoran unconsciously looked on his toned arms before he asked his mind. Is he really thin?

The pixie complained for the biased treatment. Therefore Long Haoran also added food to her bowl.

Elga’s eyes darted between the Good Old Witch’s bowl and hers. "Master, why does she get the meat while all I received is roots?"

Long Haoran raised his head before replying, "Eat vegetables to grow taller."

"That’s right." Li Chunhua nodded and also added more lotus roots on the pixie bowls before she added the fox’s and the two other gluttons. "Follow Chef Long’s words and try to be as tall as him or Brother Siri."

The gluttons nodded.

Elga’s heart was blocked. Even I eat all the vegetables in this mountain, my height will forever be this way! She didn’t say it out loud and only bite the lotus in anger but after she tasted the lotus roots, her dissatisfaction disappeared. Never mind, this is so good. She shoved more into her mouth.

Even with the system prompts of them gaining temporary immunity buffs, permanent resistance, and random boost in stats, the group didn’t stop in devouring the meal.

As for the drinks, Li Chunhua took out 7 cans of happy fat waters and ice. Lotus, Ginseng, and the pixie who never tasted the bubbly goodness converted into cola addicts and finished the cans in one chug.

"More." The three demanded.

Li Chunhua felt she dug herself a deep pit.

After the meal ended, Siri called Long Haoran and both went to the warehouse to get some tools before going to the greenhouse illuminated by the flashlights.

Stepping inside, the sight of the vegetables ready for harvest made Long Haoran a bit happy especially when he read the additional benefits of the essence on ordinary crops. "Don’t just stand there. Help me."

The Elf spoke before bending down near the carrots.

Long Haoran sat beside Siri and observed how the latter carefully loosened the soil around with a shovel first before pulling the carrot from the greens.

[You’ve got Hoarfrost Carrot X3]

The carrots were plump with an average length of one foot but its skin was blue, not orange.

Sensing the man’s suspicious look, Siri explained, "Its color is because of the crystal. It’s safe to be used in cooking."

Long Haoran’s knitted brows relaxed and imitated the Elf’s way of loosening the soil before harvesting the carrots preventing from breaking the greens. These parts can be used in cooking too. The other crops were also collected.

In the end, after roughly 45 minutes, they managed to harvest [Hoarfrost Carrots X68 units], [Hoarfrost Cabbage X76 units], [Hoarfrost Tomatoes X130 units], [Karmic Bell Peppers X74 units], [Karmic Corn X90 units] and [Karmic Paddy Grains X 10 kgs].

The paddy grains still need to undergo process of winnowing to remove the hulls, which can be done by using a rotary fan machine, a mortar and pestle, or simply throwing the rice in the air using the basket.

Long Haoran looked at the vegetables and rice in his inventory and a list of dishes came to his mind.

It will be a busy night.

[8:20 p.m.]

The natives and probationary residents had done eating dinner and were still gathering outside, sitting and chatting besides the bon fire. They were waiting for the landowner to come out and ask her about the training field.

The bangle had just finished digesting the Epic-Grade Spear and it was howling in gratitude. The Avarice points given by the rusted dagger was 1 point while the Epic Spear was a staggering 1500 and it upgraded to silver. The weapon slots increased to 15.

[Abyss Vanquisher’s Spear is now available on the weapon slot.]

[Abyss Vanquisher’s Spear–(Equip) (Replace) (Sacrifice)]

The two gluttons and Little Mantou stayed inside the residence and played a game of tag, while Elga was beside her excitedly following her to the training field.

The facilities and areas had no walls or fences as a division so it was easy to spot the two’s figure who was carrying a small flashlight directed at the stone pathway.

"Landowner Baozi!" Meng Chu called before waving his hands.

"Uncle." Li Chunhua waved back.

Meng Chu quickly walked towards the two before carefully asking, "Landowner Baozi, are you going to the training field?"

"Yes." Li Chunhua nodded and those who heard it became excited.

The distance from the huts to the training field was just a 3-minute walk.
