She touched the soil under the grass with her fingers. It was black soil, but how did green grass grow out? The grass was still very lively as if it had grown out of a crack.
But wasn’t this wasteland supposed to be lifeless?
She had tried it before in her original world.
Jiang Yue reached out a finger to touch the small pool of water. She was even more puzzled as to why there was water all of a sudden.
Looking around, it was still a wasteland.
Jiang Yue couldn’t help but enter the high-tech room to look at the control console and the big screen, but there were no notifications.
Unable to figure it out, Jiang Yue stopped thinking about it.
This space was magical so she did not question much.
However, since the grass was growing here, did it mean that things could be grown on the wasteland?
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yue took some of the leftover sorghum seedlings from last time and planted them around the wasteland where grass grew, trying to see if she could really grow things on the wasteland.
She even poured some water on it.
Then, she left the space.
Se decided to let time tell. If the sorghum seedlings were alive, it meant that they could be planted on the wasteland. If they were dead, it meant that they couldn’t be planted yet.
Not long after she came out of the space, she was called for lunch.
They didn’t know if Xue Dafu and the others would be back for lunch, so they didn’t wait and ate first.
Xue Dafu and the others didn’t come back until a while later. Xue Yan was the last to get off the ox cart, so Liu Guixia told them to eat.The rice was still warm in the pot.
“Why didn’t you eat in town? Didn’t you say that we don’t need to save so much?” Liu Guixia nagged as she laid out the utensils for them.
Xue Dafu chuckled. “We wanted to eat your lunch. Alright, alright, stop nagging. Let’s eat!”
“You guys had your breakfast so early. Ot’s already so late, of course, you’re hungry.” Liu Guixia said as she gave Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu a big bowl of brown rice.
Xue Yan was young and couldn’t eat that much, so Liu Guixia only gave him half a bowl.
Xue Yan took the half bowl of rice and some vegetables, then he went to the side to eat.
Jiang Yue walked to his side and took out the fire starter from her pocket.
Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, then he took it with one hand and put it in his arms, then continued to eat.
Jiang Yue also squatted down beside him.
After a while, Jiang Yue found out from Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu that they had bought the six acres of land. All the land in the family was now their own, and not a single one was rented.
However, the bricks and tiles would not arrive so quickly because there was no ready-made one.
Although there were two kilns in the town that could bake bricks and tiles, one of them didn’t do well, so they would only make them by appointment basis. The one they chose had good quality bricks and tiles, and its business was good.
Even the big families in the county looked for this shop to bake bricks and tiles.
It just so happened that there were many large families who wanted to build a big villa recently, so this shop’s business was even better. Wven if they had made a reservation, they had to queue up and wait for their turn to bake for them.
So be it. They couldn’t just buy some bad bricks and tiles to build the house. In order to build the house well, Xue Dafu and the others paid a deposit of 15 silver and signed the documents at the better brick shop.
This shop agreed and also stated in the document that the bricks would be baked and sent over in two months at the earliest and three months at the latest.
“Since it’ll take another two to three months for the bricks to arrive, let’s not talk to the village chief about building the house first.” Liu Guixia said.
