After waking up, Xiaofeng didn’t rush to get out of bed. He touched the jade bottle hanging on his chest, and through his consciousness, he watched Baiyun and Heitu playing in the space, still feeling a sense of unreality.
Having obtained the space for three days, the lawn he planted had already grown nicely, and the space was now a lush green, looking very pleasant. The stone tablet that Xiaofeng had been paying attention to also underwent some changes; one-third of the base had turned green, and its texture had become even finer.
To say that Xiaofeng didn’t feel a bit of accomplishment from the significant changes in the space would be a lie. Driven by this emotion, his enthusiasm for building the Purple Bamboo Space naturally soared.
......
After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, Xiaofeng turned on the antique desktop computer he had bought from his senior and posted information online about subletting his house and selling various second-hand items.
Since he had decided to return to his hometown in Dianxi for a while, Xiaofeng decided to settle all his affairs in Haizhou before leaving, as he didn’t know when he would return next.
Xiaofeng’s lease on the house still had two months left. He had already discussed with Aunt Zhang that if he could find someone to take over, he could get back his deposit and the remaining rent. As for the various items in his room, he needed to sell and clear them out; he couldn’t carry them all back to Dianxi. Fortunately, it was the annual graduation season, so there were plenty of potential customers for both subletting and selling second-hand items!
Although he had become the new owner of the Purple Bamboo Space and had 100 gold bricks and numerous rare treasures, Xiaofeng, who had suddenly become a billionaire, couldn’t immediately change his frugal habits and wouldn’t engage in wasteful behavior. More importantly, Xiaofeng was a person who liked to see things through to the end; abandoning things halfway wasn’t his style.
Therefore, properly handling the rental agreement and selling various second-hand items became what Xiaofeng needed to do in the week before he returned home.
After noting his available time for subletting and selling, Xiaofeng took his wallet and went out!
Based on the information he found online, Xiaofeng changed buses twice to reach the Tianjing Seedling Market in the southeastern suburbs of Haizhou.
This was the largest seedling cultivation and wholesale base in Haizhou and even the East China region. Any tree species available on the market could be found here, and if you had the money, even some nationally rare tree species were not a problem.
Xiaofeng didn’t think too much; he just wanted to transplant some common fruit tree seedlings into the space to see if these fruit trees could bring more changes to the Purple Bamboo Space. Of course, creating a portable orchard was also one of Xiaofeng’s goals!
Having read many portable space novels, Xiaofeng was quite looking forward to the legendary space fruits.
After a long journey, by the time Xiaofeng arrived at the Tianjing Market, it was already past 10:30. His T-shirt was drenched and dried, then drenched again, making him look quite disheveled. Fortunately, Xiaofeng could use his consciousness to fill his water bottle with space spring water; otherwise, he would have dehydrated on the way.
The first benefit of taking over the Purple Bamboo Space was the ability to drink free space spring water anytime, anywhere, which was quite nice!
Standing at the entrance of the Tianjing Market, Xiaofeng saw the facades of various nurseries lining the four-lane main road, stretching as far as the eye could see. Various vehicles were constantly entering and exiting, making it very lively. In Xiaofeng’s line of sight, there were countless tree species used to decorate the facades, and as an ‘IT business elite,’ he naturally couldn’t recognize a single tree species.
Shaking his head, Xiaofeng strolled into the Tianjing Market and began his shopping journey.
Xiaofeng had already done some research and found a few large-scale, reputable companies in the Tianjing Market. If everything went well, he would buy the fruit tree seedlings from these companies. Xiaofeng knew very well that he was clueless about fruit trees and nurseries, so instead of painstakingly selecting them, it would be better to find a reputable company to save a lot of trouble.
Before long, Xiaofeng saw the large sign of “Lvyu Garden,” and without much thought, he walked in.
“Sir, welcome!” As soon as Xiaofeng entered, a staff member in a light gray suit greeted him and led him to the reception area.
This was a factory-like building made of steel structures, divided into different areas with various partitions. Although it looked simple, it was well-equipped.
“I need some fruit tree seedlings. What varieties do you have?” After sitting down in the reception area, Xiaofeng got straight to the point.
“We can provide dozens of varieties and hundreds of types of fruit tree seedlings, including apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, navel oranges, tangerines, peaches, jujubes, grapes, lychees, and longans. They are all the most popular varieties on the market!” The staff member was quite proficient in their business, rattling off a long list of fruit tree varieties, then asked Xiaofeng, “What varieties do you need, and how many?”
Although Xiaofeng looked young, the staff at “Lvyu Garden” treated him well and didn’t look down on him because of his age.
“I need 10 of each common variety. I’ll take them back to see how they do, and then expand later!” Xiaofeng carefully calculated the size of the Purple Bamboo Space and said after a moment’s thought.
The space was continuously expanding, and Xiaofeng didn’t know its limits. He decided to start with about 200 fruit tree seedlings and plant them gradually based on the space’s size.
“No problem! Here is the brochure. Please select the varieties you want, and we’ll have the workers prepare them for you!” The staff member continued to smile and handed Xiaofeng a colorful brochure.
Although Xiaofeng only ordered 200 fruit tree seedlings, even a small amount was still valuable!
Soon, Xiaofeng selected the varieties he needed from the hundreds of fruit tree options, handed the list to the staff member, and had them prepare the order.
“Hey! Are you still selling bees?” While waiting for the order, Xiaofeng noticed a sign in the small forest across the way that read “Bees for Sale” and asked out of curiosity.
At this moment, Xiaofeng realized that there were no insects in the space. When the fruit trees bloomed, they would need pollination, so it would be better to get some bees. Besides, if the fruit trees grew successfully, he could enjoy pure, natural honey.
“Yes, Mr. Xiao, are you interested?” Seeing Xiaofeng’s interested look, the saleswoman realized a potential customer.
“Our orchard is just starting, and I also want to have some honey for myself!” Xiaofeng nodded and said, “These are Chinese bees, right? If so, I’ll take two boxes!”
Xiaofeng had seen a report before, stating that in recent years, the widespread breeding of Italian bees had caused a large number of Chinese bees to die, and Chinese bees had even been listed as a protected species by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Subconsciously, Xiaofeng still hoped to raise native Chinese bees in the Purple Bamboo Space; otherwise, it would be strange to have Italian bees.
“All pure Chinese bees!” The saleswoman nodded and said, “I’ll have them prepare them for you and call a technician to explain the relevant precautions!”
It must be said that “Lvyu Garden” provided very considerate service. Soon, a middle-aged technician came to the reception area to explain the technical details of beekeeping to Xiaofeng, gave him a manual, and left a phone number, saying he could call anytime if he had any questions.
The good service attitude made Xiaofeng very satisfied, and he didn’t feel too bad about paying nearly 5000 RMB for the fruit tree seedlings and bees.
Soon, “Lvyu Garden” arranged a small van to deliver the goods for Xiaofeng. Unfortunately, Xiaofeng had no specific delivery address, so he had the driver unload the goods by the roadside on the way back to the city. When no one was around, he waved his hand and threw everything into the space.
After a long day of effort, looking at the fruit tree seedlings and buzzing bees in the space, Xiaofeng was very satisfied!
