Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Chapter 59 - 57: Sprouting Sweet Potatoes, Everything Is Getting Better

Sponsored

In their current environment, Card buildings couldn’t be placed outside. They had to be kept indoors.

The bedrooms and living room were cluttered with miscellaneous items, which was fine for placing structures like farmland or a cellar. However, animal husbandry buildings needed to be partitioned off.

Fish and other aquatic life could be considered an exception, but birds and beasts were different. They all had one thing in common: a strong smell.

Only by keeping them a certain distance from the other areas of the house could their living space remain comfortable and clean.

"Let’s leave it like this for now. Once we get a Vacant Land Card, we’ll expand the bathroom and move the animal cages and pen in there."

Chen Chong patted Xu Jun’s shoulder, having made up his mind. From now on, the bathroom would be the space for raising live animals.

Coincidentally, structures like the animal cages and the pen were different from other buildings. They weren’t rooted to the ground and could be moved.

They just needed to wait until the bathroom was expanded, and then they could move both structures right in.

Building up a settlement wasn’t something that could be done overnight.

It required gradual adjustments to create the optimal setup.

This included structures like the farmland. If the indoor space grew larger in the future, it would probably need to be moved and repositioned as well.

’But how do you move a building that can’t be moved?’

’Is there a Card for something like that?’

Chen Chong was puzzled, but he had a vague feeling that there must be.

After all, the types of Cards were incredibly varied. Maybe there really was one to solve this kind of problem...

"Sir, the food’s almost ready. We can get ready to eat," Wang Biao said, poking his head out of the kitchen.

"Okay."

Chen Chong replied and went to wash his hands at the spring, which was placed just outside the bathroom.

The spring produced a considerable amount of water every day and had become the group’s only source of water.

To prevent dirt and dust from contaminating the water source, Wang Biao had used a piece of white plastic sheeting to make a dust cover for it in his spare time.

For daily use like cooking and bathing, everyone used water that had been drawn beforehand and stored in a bucket next to the spring, ensuring they would never indirectly contaminate it.

Soon, a stew pot was brought to the table...

It was filled to the brim with all kinds of fish, each larger than the palm of a hand.

The broth had been simmered until it was milky white, and its fragrant aroma was enough to make one’s mouth water.

"That’s not all. There’s another fish dish coming right up."

Wang Biao turned and went back into the kitchen, quickly returning with a soup tureen. But it didn’t contain fish soup; it was a spicy braised catfish.

"There’s more, Sir. Just a moment," Wang Biao said, turning back to the kitchen again.

GROWL~

Shen Xinrou’s stomach couldn’t help but make a noise.

Chen Chong said, "If you’re hungry, you can go ahead and eat."

"No, I’ll wait for everyone," Shen Xinrou said, quickly shaking her head.

"Brother Chong, can I eat first? I can’t take it anymore."

Chen Chong’s face darkened. "Do as you please..."

"Uh... never mind. I’ll wait with everyone else."

Finally, Wang Biao brought out the last dish: hot pot rabbit, stir-fried with the remaining half block of hot pot base.

Having been slaving away in the kitchen for a long time, Jia Wen finally put down his spatula and could take a break.

He had been doing most of the cooking these past few days. Although Jia Wen was their strategist, he was extremely talented when it came to cooking.

For many modern dishes, you only needed to verbally explain the recipe to him once, and he could replicate it on the spot. The results were always delicious, earning unanimous praise from the other three.

Unsurprisingly, he had taken on the household cooking duties from then on...

Looking at the sumptuous feast covering the table, Shen Xinrou was stunned.

There was fish soup, braised catfish, and even hot pot rabbit...

’Is this really the kind of food you can get after transmigrating?’

She had thought last night’s venison stew was lavish enough, but today’s spread was even more extravagant...

"Are you blown away?" Xu Jun asked with a wide grin.

"We’ve stockpiled a lot of seasonings. We’ve traded for just about anything you can think of. We even have several more blocks of hot pot base. The food we make is every bit as good as what we had before we transmigrated."

"It’s... so much," Shen Xinrou said, still a bit dazed.

Chen Chong smiled. "Let’s eat. Everyone’s had a long day. This is a good way to recharge."

"We still have things to do after dinner. We won’t be eating the two pheasants and the other birds we caught today, but we need to pluck and gut them and put them in the cellar, or they’ll spoil."

With that, everyone dug in, smiles on their faces as they ate.

Delicious food could always bring a person happiness from the bottom of their heart, especially in their current, terrible environment...

There were three dishes, each one with a generous portion.

Even after the five of them ate until their stomachs were round and they were slumped on the sofa and chairs, there was still nearly half a pot of fish soup and meat left over.

"Let’s save this for breakfast tomorrow. It won’t go bad in the cellar."

After resting for a moment, Chen Chong and Wang Biao took out the pheasants and the other birds from a bag and began plucking and gutting them.

Just then, Xu Jun, who had run off to check on the crops in the farmland, discovered something.

"Brother Chong, hurry, come and see!"

Hearing the call, Chen Chong walked over, still holding a dagger and a pheasant.

"What’s wrong?"

"Look." Xu Jun lifted the cotton quilt covering the sweet potatoes in the corner of the farmland plot.

"Are these... sprouting?" Chen Chong was surprised.

The four sweet potatoes lying in the soil had all sprouted dense, tender shoots from their eyes, full of life.

’How long have the sweet potatoes been sprouting for?’

’They’ve sprouted this quickly?’

’That shouldn’t be possible...’

’Could it be that the farmland is rich in the nutrients plants need, and the accelerated growth effect caused the sweet potatoes to sprout in such a short time?’

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Chong laughed. It didn’t matter what the reason was; as long as they were sprouting, it was a good thing.

They could finally plant sweet potatoes.

He handed the task of processing the pheasants and birds over to Jia Wen and began cutting the sweet potatoes into sections, following the lines of the eyes with his dagger.

Shen Xinrou squatted beside him, studying intently. After all, she also had a few sweet potatoes sprouting at her place, though they weren’t in a farmland plot.

Soon, the four sweet potatoes were divided into fifteen uneven pieces, each with its own independent eye.

This meant that if they were planted successfully, they would have fifteen sweet potato vines.

Then, they could use those fifteen vines to cultivate more, sprout them, cut them, and plant them...

Before long, they would have an entire plot of farmland filled with sweet potatoes.

By then, aside from saving some as seeds for planting, the rest could be eaten. Their food worries would be greatly reduced, and they wouldn’t have to rely so heavily on meat.

"Just coat them with the plant ash from the cooking fire. This will prevent the cuts from rotting and also provide some nutrients. Then they can be planted in the farmland."

Chen Chong wasn’t just teaching Shen Xinrou, but also Xu Jun. After all, he couldn’t be the one to handle all the planting forever.

The two of them learned very seriously, nodding their heads repeatedly...

Fifteen small, slightly raised mounds of earth appeared in the second farmland plot, occupying less than half of the space.

Looking at the planted sweet potatoes, Chen Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only had they added wild ducks and wild rabbits to their home today, but the number of fish in the fishpond had also increased significantly. Even their crop cultivation had made great progress.

Everything was developing in a positive direction...

In the first farmland plot, only a single Fog Fruit plant grew, and the fruits on it had turned quite red.

The second farmland plot had fifteen sweet potato pieces planted in it.

The third plot held the tomato and pepper plants Shen Xinrou had given them before.

Chen Chong had a feeling that the two plants seemed to have grown a bit taller. The few tomatoes hanging on the vine had gotten a little bigger, and so had the peppers.

He didn’t know if it was his imagination or the effect of the farmland’s accelerated growth...

Besides these two plants, the scallions and ginger had also been transplanted into this plot.

Although the three farmland plots still looked a bit empty, Chen Chong believed that they would one day be completely filled.

Everything was heading in the right direction.

Chen Chong even found himself looking forward to tomorrow’s settlement.

’We had such a big harvest today, the score should be high, right?’

’What kind of Card will I get?’

’And what will the three new pieces of intel be tomorrow...’
