Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Direct Processing Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Direct Processing Mei Mengchen saw her sister picking vegetables and hurriedly asked with concern, “Sister, can we not sell vegetables anymore?”

He knew that today they were supposed to make some money, and his sister seemed really happy counting it, but the words she just said seemed to imply they couldn’t make money anymore. He wanted to clarify and was also vaguely worried about the family’s situation.

“You shouldn’t worry about these things. Money is not important, what is important is that I will be going to school in a week, but what about you, Chenchen? The kindergarten hasn’t started yet, so where should I leave you this upcoming week?”

“I can stay at home alone.” Mei Mengchen was a bit scared, but he couldn’t hinder his sister from going to school; he had to be sensible if he wanted his sister to like him.

Thus, Mei Mengchen patted his chest to show he could manage, but Mei Mengzhen chuckled and then ended the topic.

What a joke, leaving a three-year-old child at home alone? She’d have to be crazy to do such a thing. She naturally wouldn’t agree to the suggestion, but if not, how should she resolve this issue then?

Mei Mengzhen was worried, but there were still a few days left, so she decided to think about it some more.

After lunch, when Mei Mengchen had fallen asleep, Mei Mengzhen reluctantly took out her textbooks.

In front of the desk, Mei Mengzhen struggled to calm her mind and study seriously, but as she absentmindedly flipped through a few pages, she froze. In that moment, she felt that her mind seemed somewhat different from before—to her astonishment, she had remembered the few pages she had merely glanced at.

Mei Mengzhen couldn’t quite believe it. She straightened her posture and flipped through the textbooks seriously—Chinese, mathematics. As she read and memorized, and even recalling the content, she managed to remember all of the last term’s textbooks in just one afternoon.

Mei Mengzhen was astounded. Could this be another magical aspect of the Spiritual Spring?

Indeed, she remembered the enhancement of memory, but it wasn’t supposed to be like this—at this point, it was practically like a scanning machine.

As for whether it was a photographic memory, she would have to wait and see.

But, looking at the current situation, it was already quite impressive. With the progress she was making, it seemed possible to review all the textbooks before the start of the new term.

The afternoon was not long; after finishing with the textbooks at hand, today’s tasks were almost done.

However, the tasks being almost done, there were still more surprises.

The fruit trees purchased in the Spatial Mall last night had grown and matured overnight. There were no smells in the space, so she couldn’t smell the fruity aroma, but looking at the bright, plump fruits made Mei Mengzhen swallow her saliva.

The poultry near the fruit trees, having eaten their feed, had also matured. The chickens, ducks, and geese had each laid many eggs, and the Osmanthus Tree had automatically collected them outside their respective pens to prevent them from being crushed by the poultry.

In just this short time, she had roughly counted and there were over ten of each type of egg—an astonishing number.

Now that the poultry had reached maturity, they would not grow any more. There were two options: one was to keep them for continued egg production, and the second was to process them through the Spatial Mall.

The processing function of the Spatial Mall not only could handle poultry but also vegetables.

For example, tomatoes could be turned into tomato sauce, and cabbage could be turned into Kimchi, and so on… There’s nothing it couldn’t process if you could think of it.

Of course, processing had a cost, but it wasn’t expensive. For vegetables, no matter how much was processed or into what, the charge was by type—5 yuan for each.

The same applied to poultry. For small animals like chickens and ducks, the process involved killing, plucking, and cleaning the innards. As for cutting them into pieces, that could be chosen optionally. For larger animals like pigs or sheep, there were many ways to process them. For instance, Pork Belly and tendon meat would be divided into pieces. And like with the vegetables, there was a set charge of 10 yuan for each type of livestock, regardless of quantity.

The same principle applied to fish—they too would be cleaned of scales and could be cut or split upon request.

Previously, with nothing in the space, she couldn’t utilize this function. Now, it was exactly what she needed.

Regarding whether to slaughter or not, and how many to slaughter, Mei Mengzhen thought that slaughtering them all was the way to go. After all, the space had a preservation feature, so they wouldn’t go bad if left there, and she could directly eat them whenever she wanted to. Moreover, it wasn’t as if they couldn’t be raised again.

And after processing, the meats came with individual packaging that was very hygienic. Once processed, they were sorted and placed in order, making them easy to find later on. All things considered, processing was the obvious choice.

Processing was simple; she just had to select it on the Spatial Mall, which would automatically suggest processing methods. After choosing, the poultry she circled on her farm would disappear and then reappear sorted neatly outside the pens.

Looking at the space that had once again become empty, she placed orders for various kinds of poultry and put them in the former pens; the Osmanthus Tree automatically fed them. After all were processed and settled, Mei Mengzhen left the space contentedly.

A good night’s sleep.

With eggs now available from the space, it was natural to prioritize eating food from the space.

But since they had just bought some at home, Mei Mengzhen opened the refrigerator, feeling a twinge of relief. She knew the space would have these items, but she just didn’t know when they would appear. Hence, she had not bought much. Given their daily consumption rate, they could finish the food in two to three days.

While cooking breakfast, she didn’t hold back. She planned to finish the eggs from outside as well as the ones from the space. While making porridge, she added three chicken eggs and three goose eggs.

Goose eggs were said to be very nutritious and perfect for children. Since Liang Xiao was helping her and didn’t charge for the eggs, Mei Mengzhen naturally prepared a portion for her as well.

When Liang Xiao arrived, they were just having breakfast. Mei Mengzhen didn’t say much. A glass of milk, a chicken egg, and a goose egg were already placed where Liang Xiao usually sat, “Come on, it’s all ready for you.”

Liang Xiao felt a little embarrassed, “I’ve already had breakfast.” She had indeed eaten earlier.

“Just add another bite then, it’s not much. I made three portions, and I’ve even prepared the milk. It would be a waste not to eat it.”

Liang Xiao had no choice but to agree, “Okay, I’ll eat it, but don’t prepare it for me anymore.”

Liang Xiao knew that if she did not speak up, Mei Mengzhen would keep preparing it for her every day.

And that was indeed what Mei Mengzhen had in mind. However, she wouldn’t listen to her; she planned to prepare it every day absolutely. After all, it’s just for a few days, and once school started, she wouldn’t bother making breakfast at home.
