Chapter 31
Before going out, Shen Zening went to the chicken coop to take a look.
The door of the chicken coop had just been opened by Shen Yi and the others, and the roosters and hens were leisurely wandering around the spiritual field.
There is a basin filled with water at the door for the chickens to drink. It's been sunny these days, so it's okay to leave the water basin open, but in order to use it for a long time, we still need to build a small shed to cover the drinking area.
Shen Zening forgot to get chicken feed yesterday, so Shen Yi and Shen Er temporarily brought some rice to feed the chickens.
As for feed, he remembered that corn and wheat bran could be mixed together. After writing these two items on the purchase list, he checked the chicken coop and left first.
It's too early now. The teahouse has just opened and there are not many orders yet. Shen Zening plans to wait until he returns from the city.
Bai Yang didn't like the smell of the chicken coop, so he didn't come over and waited in the lobby. After he went back to his room and changed out of his home clothes, he took Bai Yang and set off for Shuowang City.
After running to the city for two days in a row, Shen Zening bought almost everything he needed to buy. Shen Zening only bought a lot of corn and wheat bran at the vegetable market to make chicken feed. After buying it, he went directly to Buzhuang.
"Shopkeeper, look, the clothes I want to order look like this."
Shen Zening drew a sketch of the pet clothing and showed it to the shopkeeper of Buzhuang. However, because the painter was not up to standard, it took a long time for the shopkeeper to recognize it. Come out, this is a little skirt for the fox.
The shopkeeper didn't quite understand the hobby of rich people, but he understood and immediately brought a tape ruler to measure the little fox.
Bai Yang was very cooperative, lifting his paws when he needed to, and stretching his legs when he needed to. When the shopkeeper saw this, he couldn't help but praise him a few times. When Bai Yang heard the praise, even his sitting posture became more dignified and elegant involuntarily.
He raised his little head proudly, and his big fluffy tail swayed. Just when he was happy, he heard the shopkeeper wonder: "Huh? Why is there a bald spot on this right leg?" Bai Yang: "
..."
Shen Zening :" ……"
Oops! My little fox can’t listen to this!
Shen Zening quickly covered Bai Yang's ears: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just pretend you didn't hear me, be good." In order to make Bai Yang happy, Shen Zening ordered more than a dozen sets of clothes to make him happy. ,
when he walked out of Buzhuang, he felt like his skin had been peeled off.
The clothes Shen Zening ordered for Bai Yang were made of the best materials in the cloth shop and she found the best embroiderers. After all this, her wallet was quite empty.
However, after spending so much, and including the ones for the little fox to play with, there are still more than three million spirit stones left, which is enough for the time being.
"Is there any place you want to go?" Shen Zening asked Bai Yang.
Bai Yang tilted his head and thought for a while. The weather was so hot. He wanted to go back and turn on the air conditioner, so he shook his head and buried his face in Shen Zening's shoulder.
Then go back first. Shen Zening thought that there was still a lot to do in the teahouse. The small ornaments and paintings bought in the city had not yet been put up, the chicken coop needed to be improved, and there were also new summer products and so on. Yes, you have to think about it carefully.
This time, it only took more than two hours to go to the city to order clothes and return to the teahouse. It was not yet noon and the sun was not too strong. Shen Zening planned to repair the chicken coop first.
Bai Yang felt too hot and hid under the air conditioner. Shen Zening prepared some desserts and drinks for him as usual before heading to the chicken coop.
There are more than 20 chickens in the chicken coop. If they want to drink water at the same time, I'm afraid they will have to make a very long water basin.
Shen Zening thought for a while, it was almost like a long...feed trough like a modern chicken farm?
He clicked on the mall and searched, and then found that... it was not open, it was locked, and it required level 10 to purchase it.
… Could it be that I raised chickens too quickly?
According to the setting of the business system, players should be allowed to develop in the direction of food before level 10, and only after level 10 can they start planning things like animal husbandry.
Wait, don’t I want to upgrade to a hotel? !
Shen Zening was thinking about it, and suddenly felt a little confused. He felt that he seemed to be... a little off track in the direction of developing the teahouse?
Forget it, just upgrade it.
He pondered the system carefully.
Now that the farming system has been opened, there will definitely be breeding and other types of teahouses in the future. In this way, as the teahouse develops, the area will become larger and larger. No wonder the location is outside the city.
He would raise chickens, farm, and run a teahouse, and there would also be accommodation in the future. How could there be such a big open space in Shuowang City for him to do these things.
In the past two days, he had been busy with Bai Yang's affairs and hadn't taken a good look at the missions. Now that he had some time, he quickly collected everything he should receive. Fortunately, there is a 24-hour time limit for receiving tasks. Otherwise, if it were refreshed and deleted at midnight like the tasks every day, he would have no place to cry.
After receiving yesterday's daily tasks, the experience progress bar jumped forward a little. The current progress bar is 2505/3500, which is less than a thousand experience points short of level eight.
Shen Zening calculated that it would only take three or four days.
When he reaches level 8, he can buy the refrigerator he has been thinking about for a long time!
With the refrigerator, not only can he start an ice cream business, but he can also make tiramisu and other small cakes that need to be refrigerated for Bai Yang.
In addition to small cakes, some dishes also need to be refrigerated. Not having a refrigerator is really limiting.
He opened the game panel and looked at the points.
After buying an oven and miscellaneous items, I still had a little over 500 points left. It seemed that it was best not to use points anymore in the past two days, and I had to save up to buy a refrigerator.
While Shen Zening was thinking, he walked around the teahouse and walked to the chicken coop. Then, his enthusiasm was shattered by the good deeds of the roosters and hens.
I saw that the spiritual grass that had just sprouted and sprouted branches was pecked into pits and almost bald by them. It was obvious that the spiritual grass was regarded as food.
Shen Zening: "……………………..."
His vision went dark. He stood there for a long time before he regained consciousness. He drove away the hens that were still wandering in the spiritual field and tried to save the dying spiritual grass. .
After Shen Zening shut all the troublemaking chickens back into the chicken coop, he counted the remaining spiritual herbs.
There were less than ten spiritual plants that were not touched by the chickens, and the rest were half dead. Although Shen Zening didn't do much planting business, he felt that these spiritual herbs were no longer viable, so he had to dig them out and plant them again.
Damn it, the spirit grass has been growing for four days and is almost halfway through its growth process!
This is really... a failure...
Shen Zening: Heartache.jpg
There are not many seeds in a bag of primary spiritual grass. It can only be planted twice at most. Now, it is all planted at once.
Shen Zening sighed and prepared to throw away the tattered spiritual grass. Halfway through, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
If spiritual grass is put into the feed and fed to chickens, is it possible that the chicken that eats the feed containing spiritual grass will contain spiritual energy?
Shen Zening decided to give it a try.
It seems that there is no special corn kernels sold in Shuowang City. The dried corns bought from the vegetable market are all whole, and the corn kernels have to be scraped off with a knife to make feed.
The dried corn cobs were a bit difficult to scrape. Shen Yi and Shen Er were busy working in the lobby and kitchen, so it was not convenient to call over for help.
It seems that the teahouse still has too few employees, Shen Zening thought. The teahouse is only on the seventh level now. The lobby has expanded a lot and there are several more tables. Even if the puppets are efficient, they are still too busy. when.
He wants to recruit people, but there are not enough houses in the backyard. Nowadays, hiring employees in places like teahouses and restaurants must include food and accommodation, right?
Speaking of which, what I open now can be considered a restaurant. I don't sell much serious tea, and I cook and sell dishes all day long.
It would be fine if we drove in the city, as employees could go home directly after closing time. The teahouse is outside the city. I have to go back when I get off work, and I might not be able to enter the city late at night.
Shen Zening clicked on the construction interface to see if he could build more houses.
Theoretically, the land of the teahouse has been expanded, and you can build as many rooms as you want, but the current courtyard may not be able to squeeze in a sixth room.
He carefully looked at the teahouse land description. It turned out that after the opening of the construction system, in addition to the option of building two new houses, the land also expanded accordingly.
Except for the rooms that come with the system such as the lobby, kitchen and his own cabin, which are automatically expanded proportionally after upgrade, other rooms will not be automatically expanded even if the teahouse is upgraded. If you want to expand the area, you need to spend some points or spiritual stones. Manually upgrade if land conditions permit.
Currently, the land of the teahouse has been expanded to the periphery of the main teahouse building, including the spiritual field and chicken coop behind the house. The small map on the construction interface shows that there are free locations where you can choose to build new houses.
In the construction list, a primary house without decoration, that is, a rough house of ten square meters, costs five high-grade spiritual stones; a simple decorated primary house of fifteen square meters costs eight high-grade spiritual stones, and the remaining intermediate and high-grade houses cost eight high-grade spiritual stones. The icon is gray, and Shen Zening's current level cannot be unlocked.
Shen Zening was so fascinated by the construction interface that he even stopped scraping the corn kernels.
Five or eight pieces of high-quality spirit stones were very cheap, and he could build several rooms, but to build them beyond the main courtyard, he would have to build some more walls to connect the newly built courtyard to the main building.
The price of fences is also divided into several grades, with different heights, but they are all calculated based on the price of one meter.
The most common earth wall is made of fifty lower grade spiritual stones, the stone wall is made of one hundred lower grade spiritual stones, and the brick wall is made of one hundred and fifty lower grade spiritual stones. The above are all basic walls, and decorations are added on top. The price of more beautiful walls is much higher than the basic ones.
Shen Zening chose something that fit the current style of the teahouse. He slightly modified the brick wall and surrounded the spiritual field and chicken coop. He opened a small gate on the wall next to the warehouse to separate the two courtyards. Connect together.
In addition to storing items, the current warehouse also serves as the puppets' dormitory. Shen Zening plans to move the warehouse to the newly built courtyard, and the original rooms will be used as the puppets' dormitories.
Shen Zening chose the location of the new warehouse near Lingtian.
He hesitated whether to choose a rough house or a simply decorated house. After thinking about it, he only wanted to put some sundries and the like, so he chose a rough house.
Shen Zening planned the layout, selected the houses and walls, and clicked Build. The next second, the time required for construction appeared on the interface: forty-eight hours.
The spirit stones in the space were automatically deducted by the system, and the worker NPC in the construction interface had already set off and walked towards the teahouse. This time he did not want to speed up. He could still afford to wait for two days, so let the NPCs build slowly. .
He once again confirmed the location and options of the new building before closing the construction interface and preparing to concentrate on scraping corn kernels with a knife to make feed, but before the knife touched the corn, he heard Shen Er's voice.
Shen Er spoke in a serious tone, "Boss, Doctor Ming is here."
Shen Zening was sitting on the pony. When he turned around, he saw that Mingxuan was wearing pink clothes again, but not today. Gradient pink, changed to light pink.
Mingxuan waved the acupuncture kit in her hand and asked, "Where's Baiyang?"
Chapter 32
Twenty minutes later, the snow-white little fox was lying on a long table, with a soft cushion under his body, and a dozen long and thin silver needles stuck in the soft fox fur.
It hurt a little when the needle went in. Bai Yang's little face wrinkled up and he moaned in a low voice. Shen Zening wanted to squeeze the back of his neck to comfort him, but he couldn't do anything when he looked at the silver needles all over his body. He started, "Doctor Ming, how long will it take?"
Mingxuan was playing with the small alarm clock next to the table, his eyes full of curiosity. He stared at the Arabic numerals on it for a while before saying, "About one stick of incense."
He gave Bai Yang After the acupuncture, I discovered that there were many new and interesting things in this shabby little teahouse. For example, there was a small round thing on the table with a rotating needle inside. According to Shen Zening, it was brought by Cha. It is much more convenient to tell the time than a sundial.
"Boss Shen, where did you get this?" Mingxuan asked.
Shen Zening... looking at this modern-looking alarm clock, for a moment he didn't know how to explain it to Mingxuan. He coughed slightly, bought an alarm clock of the same style from the mall on the spot and handed it to Mingxuan, "If Dr. Ming likes it, I have another one here." Mingxuan's eyes lit up, and he reached into his sleeve and took it out
, ready to give it to him. money.
Of course Shen Zening would not take his money.
Mingxuan was the doctor recruited by Xu Xiaoyan. Seriously, he came to the teahouse to treat Bai Yang. Shen Zening wanted to thank him but it was too late. It was just an alarm clock. How could he let him pay for it?
Shen Zening not only rejected Mingxuan's spiritual stone, but remembered that Mingxuan seemed to be very interested in blood collection needles yesterday, and also bought a box of syringes for him.
For Mingxuan, modern medical equipment obviously attracts his attention more than alarm clocks. When he saw Shen Zening insisting, he accepted without any further politeness.
Shen Zening did not tell the origins of these artifacts, and Mingxuan wisely did not continue to ask. There are many people in the world of cultivation who have secrets. He has long been used to it. If he sees anything he needs in the teahouse, he can just ask Shen Zening to buy it.
Today Shen Yi and Shen Er changed guard, and it was Shen Yi's turn to stay in the backyard to help, serving Mingxuan and Shen Zening a pot of tea and some snacks.
Shen Yi is recently learning to bake desserts with Shen Zening, and they make a lot every day to practice their skills.
Shen Zening doesn't know how to make desserts exactly according to the recipes, and the sweetness often fails to meet the requirements of the recipes, but unexpectedly it is more popular among the monks.
Because Shen Yi and Shen Er were system puppets, if they were asked to make dessert directly, the taste would be exactly the same as the recipe. After Shen Zening investigated the tastes of customers, he specifically asked them to change the fixed production process.
The snack that Shen Yi brought up at this time was his practice work. It was a small plate of original and chocolate-flavored cookies.
Bai Yang smelled the sweet aroma that was unique to the biscuits, his black bean-like nose twitched a few times, and he let out an anxious "squeak".
Shen Zening was worried that he would move erratically, so he brought his special small plate and put a few cookies in it, "I'm getting the acupuncture, don't worry, I'll keep it for you. You can eat it after the acupuncture." Half an hour later.
It passed quickly, Mingxuan withdrew the needle, and Bai Yang stood up, shaking his hair, and couldn't wait to rub Shen Zening's hand, wanting to eat the cookie.
"You can't eat it now." Mingxuan knocked on the table, mercilessly interrupting Bai Yang's expectation, "After the needle prick, there is still a medicinal bath."
After being pricked like a hedgehog, he finally got out of the needle. Not even allowed to eat some biscuits, that's really... too much! !
The little fox threw herself into Shen Zening's arms and barked twice in grievance.
Shen Zening rubbed her soft little head in her arms distressedly, and said comfortingly: "In order to detoxify, please bear with it first, okay? We will take it after taking the medicinal bath." The
two detoxification methods of acupuncture and medicinal bath are Mingxuan spent one night researching it. He hasn't found out the poison in Bai Yang yet, but he has a vague guess in his mind and plans to try it first.
Mingxuan told them that acupuncture should be applied continuously for seven days, and the medicinal bath should be the same. The effect would be seen after seven days. This method can temporarily suppress the poison. When Bai Yang's cultivation level recovers and he is no longer so weak, Mingxuan can use other methods to force the poison out of him.
Bai Yang knew that everyone was doing it for his own good. His little ears drooped, he sniffed and nodded obediently.
After Shen Yi delivered the refreshments, he had already taken the medicinal materials given by Mingxuan to deal with them.
The place to take the medicinal bath was in the bathroom of Shen Zening's cabin. Shen Zening thought it would make Bai Yang more comfortable.
——After all, the little fox loves beauty and cares about his image so much. It would be better for as few people to see him as possible when he gets wet in the water. He will not be happy.
Shen Zening's cabin is a private space, and Shen Yi, as a system puppet, needs his authorization even if he wants to enter the room. He added Shen Yi and Shen Er to the allowed access list, and then added Mingxuan as a temporary guest.
As soon as he entered the hut, Mingxuan stared at the modern decoration layout for a few seconds, his eyes full of curiosity. However, it was important to give Bai Yang a medicinal bath, so he was only slightly surprised in his heart.
Shen Zening knew that his room was indeed quite special for locals in the cultivation world. Seeing that Mingxuan didn't seem to reject modern aesthetics, and his great interest in alarm clocks and lancets, Shen Zening felt that this There are business opportunities among them, and maybe they can be developed in the future. It can be regarded as... purchasing agent?
But that had to wait until later. He thought about it, at least until the teahouse had been open for a while, and he had almost replenished the scattered small items in modern times.
Currently, the only ways to obtain points are through tasks and achievements. You cannot redeem them with spirit stones and krypton gold, so you have to use them sparingly. There is no shortage of spirit stones now, so let’s wait. I hope the system will open up more ways to obtain points in the future.
The bathroom in the hut had a greater impact on Mingxuan than the modern decoration in the room.
The difference between the bathroom and the cultivation world is that when you open the faucet, clean water will flow out of the pipe. While using it, the used waste water will flow away along another pipe, and the water temperature can be adjusted at will.
Monks with high cultivation levels also have similar devices in their homes, but they all require spiritual power to be controlled. In Shen Zening's room, Mingxuan did not feel any spiritual power fluctuations, indicating that the facilities in the bathroom can be driven without spiritual power. .
Mingxuan didn't expect that there were so many strange and useful things in this small teahouse!
It was difficult for Shen Zening to explain to Mingxuan that the water and electricity provided by the system were used in the hut. This would become a popular science, so he could only pretend to be profound as before.
"System? Is it there?" Shen Zening knocked on it, "Can I connect water and electricity to the rooms outside the teahouse?" What's strange is that
the system is not there today. What comes out is an automatic reply, and the answer is not what the question is. He asks Shen Ze very perfunctorily. Ning strives to upgrade.
Forget it, let's wait and see after upgrading. Maybe we can make a lot of money through purchasing and decoration in the future.
When Shen Zening was thinking about how to work hard to make money, the medicinal bath was ready and steam was rising from the basin.
As soon as Bai Yang approached the basin filled with medicinal herbs, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The heat made him retreat repeatedly.
Soaking in hot water in the summer will burn you to death...!
Shen Zening tested the water temperature, and it was indeed a bit hot. However, Mingxuan did not agree to lower the water temperature, saying that it would affect the efficacy of the medicine, so he had to coax and coax the little fox into the water basin.
The water in the basin was soaked with various medicinal materials and turned dark, as if someone had spilled the ink. Bai Yang almost resisted the urge to escape and sat in.
...so, so hot! !
The little fox subconsciously made a sound and stood up from the water, but was pushed back by Shen Zening the next second.
"It only helps if you burn it." Mingxuan said, "But don't worry, it won't kill the fox."
Bai Yang: "..."
Shen Zening: "..."
You are really good at comforting people. Thank you, Doctor Ming.
After failing to escape, Bai Yang could only sit quietly in the medicinal bath, hoping that time would pass quickly.
The medicated bath lasted for an hour, and there was another medicated bath immediately after. The little fox listened to Mingxuan explain the mechanism of the medicated bath. The second medicated bath was with cold water. His face fell, and he could only hold his nose to accept it. .
As Bai Yang soaked, he felt that his whole body was extremely hot. The temperature of the medicinal bath was almost boiling him to the point of ripeness. The whole fox felt drowsy. Mingxuan also asked him to stay awake at all times.
Mingxuan observed Bai Yang's condition for a while and then left, saying that he would call him when it was time to change the water. It was normal for him to be overheated, as long as he didn't faint from the heat.
During the hour of taking the medicinal bath, only Shen Zening stayed by Bai Yang's side, worrying that he would faint. She kept coaxing him to talk to him, and even brought him new comics.
Bai Yang sobered up a lot when he saw the appearance of modern comic books... He still remembered the strange comic from last time!
What are you doing? The painting looks like a picture of spring...
The little fox twitched the tips of his ears.
Seeing that he was in better spirits, Shen Zening spread out the comics and helped Bai Yang flip through them page by page.
The comic this time was a sand sculpture type. Shen Zening was worried that the little fox's spirit would become worse and worse, so he bought it specially.
Bai Yang was indeed attracted by the new comics. An hour passed quickly and the potion was no longer so hot. After Mingxuan was called over by Shen Yi, he checked the little fox's pulse and confirmed that everything was normal before proceeding to the next step.
Shen Zening originally thought that the second cold water medicated bath was just cold water in the literal sense. Unexpectedly, after Mingxuan prepared the medicated bath, he discovered that the medicated bath was as cold as ice slag, far beyond the scope of cold water. .
The water was too cold, as if a large basin of ice had been added to it. Shen Zening was worried that Bai Yang wouldn't be able to bear it, and was prepared for him to struggle.
When he first came into contact with the second medicinal bath, Bai Yang almost jumped up, but thinking about the lost memory and the strange toxins in his body, he still managed to endure it.
After the second medicinal bath, Bai Yang came out so cold that he was trembling all over. Shen Zening felt so distressed that she quickly wrapped him up in a thick blanket, carried him to the bed and covered him with the quilt.
The course of acupuncture and two medicinal baths a day lasted for six days.
Bai Yang's medicinal bath was like a punishment, but it did have some effect, and his figure became bigger. In order to speed up the recovery process, he would practice seriously at night and absorb the spiritual energy from the best spiritual stones.
Time soon came to the early morning of the seventh day.
Shen Zening was drowsily asleep when he suddenly felt his arms sink. The soft fox fur under his hands disappeared, replaced by smooth and delicate touch that belonged to human skin.
He kneaded it subconsciously. The next moment, the person in his arms felt a little uncomfortable because of his movements, and trembled sensitively. He buried his head on his shoulder like a small animal, and his hair touched him. My neck felt itchy.
Wait...
Shen Zening's chaotic brain finally had some reaction.
……hair? !
The author has something to say:
