Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Ways to Save Money
The space in front of the small wooden house was relatively soft, and there weren’t many stones.
Nian Shutong and the two robots worked for about an hour, and after that, the plot of land was clean.
Looking at the tidy land, she put away her shovel, went across the creek, and carried back a few sticks as thick as a wrist.
She went to the neatly sorted pile of Rubble, found a relatively sharp thick iron sheet, took it, and connected it with the sticks.
A simple shovel was made.
Nian Shutong started to truly dig the ground.
She opened up six plots, each about fifteen square meters. The six plots were surrounded by tall mounds of earth, forming six rectangles evenly distributed on both sides of the small wooden house.
In each plot, using the new shovel, Nian Shutong dug long trenches, threw in some unknown seeds, planted unknown seedlings, then covered them with soil and watered them.
After a while, Nian Shutong crossed the creek again, this time, bringing back more branches as thick as fingers.
Fu Yunhe had been sitting at the doorway of the small wooden house, watching Nian Shutong rushing around.
The leaves on the thin branches and the small twigs were all cleanly removed, leaving only the bare branches.
That was not all; Nian Shutong then took out many soaked pieces of bark, already torn into strips.
She began to build a fence around the six plots.
She buried the branches in a row in the soil and tied them with the soaked, somewhat tougher bark strips.
By dusk, the fence was more than half done.
She looked at the sky and paused her work, thinking about what to eat in the evening.
“Nian Shutong!” Fu Yunhe called out.
Nian Shutong wiped her hands and turned to look at Fu Yunhe, asking, “What is it?”
“You can buy these,” Fu Yunhe said, pointing to the newly constructed fence.
“I know,” Nian Shutong walked towards Fu Yunhe and casually sat at the doorway, saying, “But everything costs money to buy, making it ourselves saves money.”
Nian Shutong looked up at a somewhat puzzled Fu Yunhe and continued, “Robbing you was a necessity. Now, it’s better to save where we can.”
Fu Yunhe did not respond, perhaps thinking that expensive things require spending money, and cheaper ones should be saved?
Nian Shutong didn’t say more, but if she could have known Fu Yunhe’s thoughts, she would definitely say: You are right!
She needed to prepare for a live broadcast to sell things, and some items had to be purchased from the system.
Items from the system were expensive, she couldn’t afford them often, and she still had taxes from an external debt to pay.
So, the money was better spent on essentials, and for things that could be sourced locally, it was good to save.
Besides, with Daodao who had absorbed the planet’s core, she knew how to make these things; it was just a bit of hard work for her.
Moreover, being out in the open and working while practicing cultivation was not a waste, and she quite enjoyed this busy life.
Unlike before when she secluded herself, years passed by, which was quite uninteresting, as if there was nothing else to do but practice cultivation. @@novelbin@@
Nian Shutong stood up, looking at the sky that was no longer clear, and said, “We can’t eat corn anymore; we need to wait a while.”
“Today, let’s eat potatoes!”
Her casual statement, “Today, let’s eat potatoes,” caused a slight fluctuation in Fu Yunhe’s spiritual power, but it relaxed in the blink of an eye.
Nian Shutong casually glanced at Fu Yunhe and said, “You seem to really like potatoes, getting a little excited every time we eat them.”
Even for a moment, Fu Yunhe could not escape Nian Shutong’s Divine Sense.
“Cough cough… I do like them, they taste good,” Fu Yunhe admitted his liking, naturally unable to say anything else.
“Good that you like them, very good! Hopefully, you can say the same in the future.”
What do you think?
