Chapter 80: See If This Doesn't Scare You to Death

The space naturally had a time difference, and with no external disturbances, this sleep was incredibly comfortable.

When she woke, it was not yet fully bright outside the space; she had just collected quite a few watermelon seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and gourd seeds on the Chen family windowsill. Thinking of the tilled earth in the Chen family's backyard, she understood.

It seemed she would have to look around later to see if there were any other seeds.

Remembering something, she slapped her forehead; how could she have forgotten the date tree in the Chen family's backyard? No, if you think of it, you must act. Besides, it wasn't far, and it wasn't dawn yet; for someone with a cheat like her, it was no difficult task.

Ten-odd minutes later, Liu Chuxue returned to the original spot and entered the space. Looking at the date tree she had just brought in, she thought: See if this doesn't scare you to death.

She planted the date tree directly on the mountain, didn't forget to break off some date branches and stick them in the ground, poured some pool water on them, and just wanted to see if they would take root.

Seeing there was still time, she thought of the many items stored in the Chen family kitchen, so she decided to use the space's earthen stove to stew some fish soup for later, waiting for a chance to take it out to the hospital to nourish her parents.

She did it immediately; in her past life, during her vacations, besides liking to adventure everywhere, she also loved making gourmet food.

Various vegetables didn't stump her, but unfortunately, this earthen stove would probably require some time to figure out.

Fortunately, she had watched some documentaries before and knew that starting this kind of fire initially required only small twigs and leaves; after trying a few times, it actually succeeded.

Looking at the match in her hand, she thought: Coming back last night was the right move; otherwise, even if she wanted to stew fish soup in the space, she wouldn't have any seasonings.

Once the fish was in the pot and stewing, she found green onions, ginger, and garlic from the Chen family's hoard, planted them directly without worrying about whether they would survive, then poured pool water over everything and waited quietly for the results.

Thinking of the two jars under the date tree, she couldn't help but feel curious.

She used her will to bring the jars over, found a pair of labor protection gloves to put on, and only then reached out to open one of the jars.

Whoa, Miss Ruyan was Yuan Datou; she directly poured out the contents of the jar. She hadn't expected Yuan Datou to be on top, occupying about one-third of the jar, while the rest was all small yellow croaker, totaling more than twenty bars.

And inside the other jar were all sorts of gold and jade jewelry: various rings, earrings, jade pendants, dangling hairpins, hairpins, and necklaces; by eye, there were at least two complete sets.

That book had mentioned that the Chen family's ancestors came from the countryside; only that the Chen elder had worked as a clerk in a shop before the founding of the nation, learned to read while following the master, and entered the supply and marketing system after the founding of the nation. These items were either hidden by the previous owner or were of dubious origin, which is why the Chen family hid them there.

However, regardless of the reason, these items belonged to her now.

After she calmed her emotions, the fish in the kitchen was almost done stewing.

She pulled out the firewood to extinguish the fire, let the fish simmer in the pot to absorb the flavors, and then exited the space.

Seeing that the state-run restaurant across the street had already opened for business, she concealed her appearance before walking over; making a scene was minor, but she couldn't expose herself.

It was still early; not too many people were eating yet. She ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and a meat bun.

She ate while listening to the commotion on the Chen family side.

But by the time she finished her breakfast, there was still no sound from over there?

She stood up and ordered another twenty buns. The waiter even looked at her: "Can you finish so many?"

Liu Chuxue explained: "Relatives have come to my house; we're eating freely. Even with this, it might not be enough."

Hearing this, the waiter empathized: "You've got that right. But if they can afford to buy meat buns for you, they must be real relatives."

This time, Liu Chuxue didn't reply further. She took the buns and went out the door, returning by the original route to that hidden spot. After confirming it was safe, she had just stored the buns in the space when she heard a loud "Ah!" scream from the Chen family.
