Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 72: First Breakfast at School

He decided to wait a little longer. There was no rush now, as the factory would expand its recruitment after the New Year.

After thinking about it, he turned around and entered the personal space.

In the portable space, all the twenty acres of fertile land have been used, including one acre of fruit trees, one acre of snakeberry and grapes, one acre of vegetables, one acre of chickens, ducks and sheep, one acre of fish pond, one acre of spiritual spring water, and one acre of house and pigpen. The remaining thirteen acres are already planted with grain.

Three acres of rice, four acres of wheat, three acres of corn, half an acre of soybeans, one acre of potatoes, two acres of sweet potatoes, and the remaining half an acre was planted with sorghum.

Thanks to Zhou Tian's regular care, the space has become lush and green, and the crops are almost ripe. In three days at most, he will be able to harvest them again.

As for the fruit trees, the transplanted branches began to grow and looked like small saplings. However, the varieties were still few, still five kinds: apple, persimmon, jujube, pear, and hawthorn. It was a bit monotonous, so he planned to look for some other fruit tree seeds or saplings during this time.

The snakeberries and grapes were already ripe, emitting bursts of fragrance. The grapes were spread on the shelves, each one was the size of a glass bead and looked very pleasing to the eye.

The chickens, ducks, rabbits, and sheep, I don’t know if it’s because they drank the spiritual spring water in the space, but the chickens, ducks, and rabbits in the space all look exceptionally fat.

Each one weighs more than five kilograms. The number of sheep has increased from four at the beginning to more than forty now, not to mention chickens, ducks and rabbits. An acre of land has been fully occupied by them.

This is after Zhou Tian had already killed 200 chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Otherwise, he would probably have been unable to fit in any more.

Now he needs to control the number of these poultry. After all, these poultry have strong reproductive capacity, and they are enough for their family, and even their grandparents' family to eat.

It would be useless to have more, and he didn't need to resell.

After more than half a month of feeding, the black pigs started to give birth to piglets, from four to more than twenty. The four piglets have become big fat pigs weighing 230 kilograms. After the Chinese New Year, he plans to kill two of them and keep the other two as breeding pigs.

Around the house, he built two large warehouses covering an area of ​​about half an acre. He stored a large amount of grain in each warehouse. He didn't know if it was because of the automatic adjustment of the space, but since the warehouse was built, the time in the warehouse seemed to be wrong.

He experimented a bit and found that there seemed to be no sign of the passage of time in the warehouse. He even put freshly cooked food in it and it was still steaming hot when he took it out three days later.

The grain and meat in the warehouse are enough to meet their family's living needs for a year. Now they plan to wait until after this harvest and then plant another crop.

Standing in the space and looking at everything in it, he felt extremely satisfied. This was the result of his hard work for nearly a month. In fact, as long as the space existed, his future life would not be difficult.

With a casual wave of his hand, a bunch of grapes appeared in his hand. Zhou Tian picked one and started eating it. Suddenly, a fragrant and sweet taste bloomed in his mouth. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Delicious!"

Then, he ate them one by one quickly. The more he ate, the more enjoyable it became.

Before he knew it, he had finished eating the whole bunch of grapes.

You know, these grapes are transplanted from wild grapes. Although wild grapes taste sweet, they are incomparable to these transplanted grapes.

"It looks like Xiaoyu and Xiaoting are going to have a treat!"

He clapped his hands and a smile like an old father appeared on his face. Thinking of this, he turned around and left the space.

After leaving the space, he lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. He gradually felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, just after daybreak, Zhou Tian got up early from bed and started preparing breakfast for his younger brothers and sisters. Today was the first day of their school.

He planned to cook a good meal for them today, so he lit a fire, warmed the pot, took out the spiritual spring water from the space, poured it into the pot, took out some leftover millet from the kitchen, washed it, and placed it next to the stove, waiting for the water to boil.

Take out some bacon and start chopping it into minced meat.

Then he started to steam the white flour buns. When the water boiled, he put the millet and minced meat into the pot and cooked them over low heat.

Half an hour later, a fragrant aroma came from the pot, which made people hungry just by smelling it.

"Brother, why did you get up so early today?"

At this moment, the second brother Zhou Hao also came down from upstairs. He smelled the fragrance and went straight to the kitchen. When he saw his eldest brother already busy in the kitchen, he couldn't help but ask.

"Today is the first day of school for you. How can I not make you a delicious meal?"

Zhou Tian turned around and smiled at Zhou Hao, then continued to work.

Zhou Hao felt warm at heart when he heard this, thinking of how his elder brother had loved them in every way during this period of time. Even though he had grown up, he still asked himself if he could do as well as his elder brother did.

After thinking about it, he rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and said, "Brother, if there is anything else you need me to do, I will help you!"

Zhou Tian shook his head, pushed his second brother out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, let big brother do it today. Just help big brother set the table!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian returned to the kitchen and continued to cut pickles. After a while, a pot of fragrant lean meat porridge was ready. He brought the lean meat porridge and white flour buns to the table. He also took out some of the braised meat that his grandparents had forced on him before they left, cut it, put it on a plate, put it on the table, and then he sat down.

Looking at the three people who were already sitting at the table, he said, "Okay, let's eat!"

After hearing this, the three little ones started eating. When they drank the lean meat porridge, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces. They found that their eldest brother's cooking skills seemed to have improved a lot.

"Brother, did you put meat in this porridge?"

Especially when he drank the meat in the porridge, the third brother exclaimed in surprise. Although they had eaten a lot of meat during their time in the village, the opportunities to eat meat were relatively rare after all. He thought that the family might not eat meat in the coming period. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother gave them a surprise on the first day of school.

"Eat your food, and stop making such a fuss!"

Zhou Tian glared at his third brother, then looked at his second brother and third sister who were drinking porridge quickly with their heads down, smiled, and said nothing.

After dinner, Zhou Tian let San Xiao clean up the dishes.

He started to prepare the tuition and book fees for Sanxiao by himself. Since it was now 51, Sanxiao attended a private elementary school, and the tuition was much higher than that of a public elementary school. He was also worried about Sanxiao going to school by himself with the tuition fees, so every year at the beginning of the school year, he would go to the school to pay the fees in person, and this time was no exception.
