Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 686 Holding On
Seeing a large number of poultry lying dead, Tang Wan used her spiritual power to remove their feathers before sending them directly back to the villa, next to the spiritual spring.

This time, she decided to just wash herself with the spiritual spring water outside. She could still use her spiritual power outside. It would consume some spiritual power, but it wouldn't be as strenuous.

The last time she cleaned at home, it was so exhausting that she and Er Ya spent half a day on it.

After cleaning the poultry by removing their internal organs, Tang Wan took out several large jars from the warehouse and soaked them directly in the spiritual spring water.

It needs to soak for several hours before proceeding to the next step.

Tang Wan simply placed the jars outside the villa, next to the spring, and planned to bring them to the kitchen when it was time to marinate them.

Er Ya is still busy in the kitchen.

Tang Wan greeted Er Ya, rested for a while, and then went to cultivate the wasteland again.

In fact, Tang Wan had cultivated the land at the beginning, but after the space was upgraded, a lot of land automatically appeared, so Tang Wan didn't have to put in any more effort.

Although clearing land in a space only requires spiritual power, it consumes a great deal of spiritual power.

Fortunately, he eventually reached a high level in his cultivation, and his spiritual power became more abundant than before.

Even so, of all the tasks, land reclamation is the most tiring and consumes the most spiritual energy.

Tang Wan eventually reclaimed about five acres of land.

She then introduced spiritual spring water to irrigate the new land, which was also a land with abundant spiritual energy, making it a high-quality site by all accounts.

Tang Wan simply planted grains directly, this time all wheat, because previously...

She didn't know how to manage the paddy fields. Apart from the two acres of paddy fields that others had automatically upgraded before, Tang Wan couldn't grow any more rice here.

After all that, my spiritual energy was almost depleted, and I was indeed quite tired.

"It's time to rest." Tang Wan dragged her tired body back to the villa.

Er Ya was still getting medicine and food in the kitchen. Tang Wan glanced at her and put the medicine and food that she had already bagged into the space's granary.

They'll all be moved to houses in the city later.

"Master, you don't look well!" Er Ya greeted Tang Wan with concern when she saw that Tang Wan looked unwell.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired," Tang Wan said, waving her hand.

She glanced again at the stylish clock she had brought back from Paris, France, on the living room wall; its hands pointed to three in the afternoon.

Then he instructed Er Ya, "Er Ya, I'm too tired and need to sleep for a while. Go out around 4:30 and tell your family that I have something to do in the prefecture and will be back later. Tell them not to wait for me for dinner."

She had specifically taught Er Ya how to recognize this kind of clock before, and Er Ya learned it very quickly.

"Yes, Master! Er Ya remembers, go out at 4:30 and tell Madam and the others." Er Ya nodded seriously.

Despite her exhaustion, Tang Wan went upstairs to her spacious and comfortable bedroom.

She first took a hot bath, which greatly relieved her fatigue. After changing into soft pajamas, she threw herself heavily onto the large bed covered with a brocade quilt and fell asleep almost instantly.

Before going to sleep, she makes sure to set an alarm clock in her mind that will wake her up at 5:30 pm sharp.

An hour and a half of deep sleep, nourished by the rich spiritual energy of the space, is as effective as a whole night outside.

When Tang Wan opened her eyes, she felt all her fatigue disappear and her mental energy was mostly restored. She felt refreshed and invigorated.

She changed back into her previous clothes and, together with Er Ya, vanished from the space.

There was still some time before dinner, and she remembered there was one more thing to take care of—the workshop. The people in the workshop were still busy, and the canned goods, already filled, were placed in the next room, waiting for Chen Da to arrange for them to be put into the cellar.

Most of the male servants were injured today, so the process was slower.

There was enough ice in the cellar, and today was the last day to make ice, so Chen Da was not on the mountain when outsiders ventured there, nor was he injured.

After finishing with the injured people in the front yard, Chen Da went to work in the back.

Upon seeing Tang Wan approach, he stood up and bowed.

Tang Wan looked at the jars of food, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said to Chen Da, "Uncle Chen, you've worked so hard these past few days, leading everyone in this busy work. Once this is over, you can have a good rest."

"It's not hard work. It's an honor for Chen Da to be able to do something for the family," Chen Da replied modestly.

This wasn't just him being modest; he genuinely thought so. Canned goods were a major business for the Tang family, and it was an honor for him, as a servant of the Tang family, to gain the approval of the head of the household.

Tang Wan nodded and said nothing more. She knew Chen Da was loyal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to the northern desert with her.

Whether it's making ice or canning food, it's always best to entrust it to someone you truly trust.

Canned goods, in particular, are expected to be their main source of income for the next few years.

After all, she couldn't just take out the food anytime.

Seeing that everything was running smoothly, Tang Wan decided to go back to the front to prepare dinner.

After dinner, Tang Wan and her sister Tang Jing returned to their room and suddenly remembered that they had promised Huang Ying a gift.

I've been so busy these past few days I almost forgot.

"Elder sister, are you free? I promised Huang Ying I'd give her a gift, and I'm thinking about what to get her, but I need your help," Tang Wan said with a smile.

Hearing Tang Wan's words, Tang Jing smiled and asked, "What are you planning to give? What do you need me to do?"

Tang Wan's eyes sparkled with excitement and mystery: "I want to give her a 'doll'! A unique doll that she's never seen before! But..."

She looked at Tang Jing, a sly yet slightly coquettish smile on her face, "To make this doll lifelike and exquisite, we can't do without your help, elder sister! Your needlework is the best in our family!"

"A doll?" Tang Jing's curiosity was piqued; the word was somewhat unfamiliar to her. "What does it look like? What do I need to embroider?"

Tang Wan knew that verbal descriptions would hardly make her sister, who was skilled in needlework, immediately understand her thoughts.

She got up, walked to her desk, spread out a sheet of Xuan paper, and picked up a charcoal pencil.

"Please wait a moment, elder sister. I'll draw you a diagram, and you'll understand at a glance!" Tang Wan said confidently.

The charcoal pencil made a soft scratching sound on the paper, creating an unprecedented, adorable cartoon puppy.

Tang Jing took the pattern from Tang Wan, her eyes filled with delight, and hurriedly asked, "This puppy is so cute, how do we make the doll?"

"This is where you'll find the help, elder sister. Cut a piece of cloth like this to make the dog's body, and then stuff it with cotton. You can embroider the eyes and mouth directly on, or sew them on with cloth. Do whatever you think is best," Tang Wan explained with a smile.

Tang Jing understood and nodded, saying, "I understand. It's about making a good shape, stuffing cotton inside, and making it look like a puppy. It's similar to the little tiger head. But we need to draw a shape first; this picture isn't enough."

"No problem, I'll find a design that can be printed, or I can just draw it on the fabric," Tang Wan said with a smile.

And so, the two sisters found some fabric and began to experiment.
