Chapter 929
Unexpected
It must be said that these little guys are very ambitious, but the resources in the bonsai world are very limited, and building a greenhouse is not something they can accomplish just by working hard.
However, Xu Bo'an did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. He said to them, "I have seen your efforts. For beginners to build a greenhouse, it is already very impressive that you have done this well. I will bestow some resources from the Immortal Realm upon you later, so that the greenhouse you build will be even more stable and durable!"
Everyone smiled happily after hearing what the Mountain God Grandpa said, and kowtowed to him in gratitude.
Xu Bo'an said, "Alright, I've only come here today to check on your progress in learning the new planting techniques. There's nothing urgent, so please continue with your work! I'll be leaving now!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, everyone said in unison, "Respectfully bidding farewell to the Mountain God!"
After a while, when the adults stopped hearing the mountain god speak, the children got up from the ground and went back to doing what they were doing.
Just as Xu Bo'an was about to leave the bonsai world, he suddenly heard a voice: "Grandpa Mountain God, Grandpa Mountain God, I am Little Tree, are you there?"
Hearing the little tree calling him so urgently, Xu Bo'an assumed that the little tree was in danger or had something urgent to attend to. He quickly appeared above the little tree and looked around but found nothing unusual. Then Xu Bo'an spoke to the little tree, "Little tree, what do you want to call me for?"
Upon hearing the ethereal yet majestic voice of the Mountain God, the little tree knelt and bowed before him, saying, "Grandpa Mountain God, I have something to report to you. The seeds you gave me some time ago have all grown up, and most of them have already blossomed and borne fruit!"
Xu Bo'an was stunned by what Xiaoshu said. In the real world, even the easiest fruit tree seedling to grow takes three to five years to bear fruit. But if you calculate carefully, it has only been three months since he gave the seeds of those fruit trees to Xiaoshu, and those seeds have already flowered and borne fruit.
With a serious sense of skepticism, Xu Bo'an instantly raised his gaze to the vast mountain range and indeed found many tall fruit trees bearing fruit in the forest.
Xu Bo'an was overjoyed. He knew the little tree's strength, but he never expected that it could make a fruit tree that would take three to five years to bear fruit in reality bear fruit in just three months. This was beyond his expectations.
Unable to hide his excitement, Xu Bo'an said to Xiaoshu with some emotion, "Xiaoshu, you did a fantastic job! How did you do it?"
The little tree was overjoyed to hear the mountain god's praise and said to him, "Mountain god, I am simply using my roots to nourish these fruit tree saplings and adjust the temperature to their optimal growth level. Under my care, they are growing very fast!"
Upon hearing Xiaoshu's words, Xu Bo'an remembered that Xiaoshu had these powerful functions, which he had been told about before, but he didn't know that they would be so effective when used.
Previously, Xu Bo'an had planned to entrust the cultivation of some medicinal herbs to the villagers of Kaoshan Village. Now it seems that there is no need for that at all. Although the soil in the bonsai world is fertile, the cultivation of medicinal herbs is not as simple as the cultivation of crops. It has very strict requirements for various conditions.
The residents of Kaoshan Village should prioritize grain cultivation. Entrusting them with the task of planting medicinal herbs would not only increase their workload but also guarantee a bountiful harvest. Therefore, Xu Bo'an's decision to temporarily assign the task of planting medicinal herbs to Xiaoshu was the most appropriate. Otherwise, leaving such a capable person like Xiaoshu unused would be a waste of resources.
Xu Bo'an said to the sapling, "You are truly my capable assistant. Since you are so good at planting fruit trees, you must be good at planting medicinal herbs too!"
After hearing what the Mountain God Grandpa said, the little tree nodded proudly and said to him, "Of course! My true form is a plant, and thanks to the divine water given to me by the Mountain God Grandpa, I not only regained my previous spiritual power, but my abilities have also improved. Now I can control the temperature of any plant at will and regulate the temperature around them. Planting any kind of plant is no problem, and the survival rate is 100%. If you need, I can even use my spiritual power to make it grow as fast as those fruit trees!"
Xu Bo'an was very happy to hear what Xiaoshu said. He had thought that after the residents of Kaoshan Village mastered the new technology for growing grain and completely solved the problem of food, they could try to grow medicinal herbs and other plants that were more difficult to grow. Now that Taoshu was contributing, the work of growing medicinal herbs or precious trees could be put on the agenda.
Xu Bo'an said to the sapling with great satisfaction, "That's great! I'll give you some seeds to plant later. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
With a confident look on his face, Xiaoshu said to Xu Bo'an, "No problem, Grandpa Mountain God. It is my honor to entrust this task to me. I will definitely take it seriously!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Alright, that's settled then. You go ahead with your work, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
The little tree respectfully said in the direction of the Mountain God, "The little tree respectfully sees off the Mountain God!"
After separating his consciousness from the bonsai world, Xu Bo'an checked his phone and saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Just then, his phone rang with a "ding". Xu Bo'an glanced at it and saw that it was a message sent by his cousin Li Ruiming.
Xu Bo'an opened the link and saw that it was a restaurant address sent by Li Ruiming.
Xu Bo'an replied to Li Ruiming with a message. After resting for a while, when it was about time, he went upstairs to change his clothes, tidied himself up, and then drove to the address that Li Ruiming had sent him!
After about fifteen minutes, Xu Bo'an arrived at his destination. After parking the car, he walked towards the restaurant. This restaurant was the kind that was geared towards lower-middle-class people. The space inside was not very large, and the decoration was in a conventional style, without anything that would catch the eye.
Although his cousin Li Ruiming said that his girlfriend had arranged the meal, Xu Bo'an knew Li Ruiming well enough to know that Li Ruiming had definitely paid for it.
Xu Bo'an knew that given his cousin Li Ruiming's current financial situation, taking him to a restaurant of this caliber was already a significant expense, which was enough to demonstrate how much Li Ruiming valued his girlfriend. (End of Chapter)
