Chapter 1273 - 1272: Ah Xin’s Thoughts
Ah Xin’s Thoughts
In feudal society, this kind of timber could only be used by the Royal Family. Never mind the price in Gold, the main thing is, there’s simply nowhere you can buy it.
Mengyu smiled. "Why are you worrying about all that? As long as you get to use it, that’s enough. No one else can get into this courtyard. When you bring people over to move it, just have them wear this tag."
Mengyu had set up an Array in this courtyard, so ordinary people couldn’t enter at all.
Zhou Dasha was still a bit scared. "But after we move this timber to the courtyard we’re rebuilding, there’s nowhere to hide it either. What if someone steals it?"
Mengyu thought for a moment and said, "Over there at the rebuild, put the outer wall up first, then move a bit at a time. You can have the workers do the prep work here, and haul it over there to assemble."
Zhou Dasha had no choice and could only plan on assigning more people to keep an eye on it.
Once she finally had some free time, Mengyu thought of Gu Dongxing. She wanted to call him, but then remembered he was out on a mission and didn’t know if he could make it back for New Year.
She picked up the phone and set it down again, and in the end still didn’t dial. Instead, she picked up a pen and wrote him a letter.
Thinking of him carrying out a mission outside, she remembered she had promised to make him jerky before, but had never gotten around to it.
After thinking it over, she grabbed a wild bull out of her space and started making beef jerky.
Ever since the space expanded, the newly appeared area was first some fields, and later some Original Forest, with all kinds of animals inside.
Now if Mengyu wanted to eat game, she didn’t need to go out hunting at all; she could just grab it in the space.
Hunting prey in the space was extremely easy. With just a thought, Mengyu could freeze the prey, kill it with Telekinesis, have it cut up, and stored in the underground warehouse.
On top of that, the beef in the space all carried a very faint Spiritual Energy, and was much tastier than beef outside.
Mengyu marinated the beef, steamed it, roasted it dry, and made it into finger-thick strips of jerky. It smelled so good she couldn’t help stuffing herself first, then sealed it into small one-jin bags.
Only, when she finished packing and was about to mail some to Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe, she suddenly thought: Why bother mailing it? Wouldn’t it be better to deliver it directly?
So she put the homemade jerky back into the ring.
Anyway, Hai Xue and Gu Minxing had gone with Gu Ming to the compound and weren’t in the courtyard, so Mengyu could leave whenever she wanted. But since it was close to New Year, she figured she might as well buy some New Year goods to bring over.
It was only after she walked a circuit that she realized you still needed tickets to buy things here. After going around, she hadn’t managed to buy much at all. Thinking that she had beef jerky, a huge variety of fruits, and her own fruit wine, all of which could be given as gifts, she simply bought some paper-wrapped candies that didn’t require tickets, then stepped onto the Five Elements Fan and slipped into the sky.
Three hours later, Mengyu reached the outskirts of Gu Dongxing’s factory. A sweep of her Divine Sense told her Gu Dongxing wasn’t in the factory offices.
She didn’t go into the City South Grand Courtyard, but instead turned a corner and headed toward Xiangyang County.
She didn’t see Jing Cuizhu in the City South Grand Courtyard, but she did find Ah Xin from the City North Courtyard—only there were several more kids than before.
Mengyu thought for a moment, then took ten one-jin bags of beef jerky out of the ring, over two hundred jin of various fruits she had grown herself, plus a dozen jin of paper-wrapped candies. It was quite a generous spread.
"Ah Xin, come out and get your New Year goods!"
As Mengyu’s voice fell, a big group of children rushed out, shouting "Teacher."
"Teacher, teacher, teacher, Teacher’s here!"
"Teacher brought us New Year goods!"
"Teacher, what New Year goods did you bring us?"
"Wow, Teacher brought so many New Year goods!"
The children rushed out and all started carrying the New Year goods. Some of them hugged Mengyu’s legs. Mengyu pinched this one’s cheek, patted that one’s head, thoroughly delighted.
Back then, Mengyu had taught the children literacy classes and later some basic martial arts, so everyone called her Teacher.
Ah Xin, however, just looked at Mengyu without moving, tears glimmering in his eyes.
