All Things Bustling, Spring Bright and Beautiful

And so, a Rainbow Snail appeared atop the Sacred Tree and in the pond of the back garden.

Little Moon Spirit would occasionally feed it with Dragon Meat scraps. Whenever the Rainbow Snail digested the Dragon Meat, Little Moon Spirit would reach out and touch its colorful shell with great satisfaction, almost saying to it, "Rainbow Snail, Rainbow Snail, grow up quickly."

Every time Little Moon Spirit treated it like this, the Rainbow Snail would tremble and shrink back into its colorful shell, weak, helpless, pitiful, whimpering...

Seeing that Little Moon Spirit couldn't forget the Rainbow Snail, Wu Chu ran to the lakeside to look for snails in the lake. He decided to teach Little Moon Spirit how to make a spicy stir-fried snail dish.

Although there are no chili peppers, you can use Evodia as a substitute. As for other condiments such as fermented bean paste, it's fine if you don't have them! Ginger, Scallions and Garlic are enough.

Looking at these snails, each as big as a bowl, Wu Chu didn't know what to say. These snails were so big, did he even need to suck them up? It probably wouldn't be easy to do so!

Never mind, I'll just use chopsticks as toothpicks from now on.

Wu Chu collected a basket of snails and returned to the treetop. He poured them into a bucket and added some oil to the water to help the snails expel the mud and sand more quickly.

"A Chu, do you want to eat snails?" Little Moon Spirit asked, puzzled, as if to say: If you want to eat them, there's a big one in our backyard pond!

"Little Moon Spirit, have you forgotten what I told you before? We should try not to eat sentient beings in the future. That Rainbow Snail already knows how to cultivate on its own and can communicate with us. It's quite different from these ordinary snails..."

Little Moon Spirit stuck out her little tongue, chuckled, and said, "I haven't forgotten! I was just using a scare tactic to spur it on, to make it cultivate faster and not be lazy."

Wu Chu smiled and gave her a gentle pat on the head. "I knew our Yueling wasn't that kind of ruthless person, so today, your A Chu is going to cook you a spicy stir-fried snail dish as a treat for our lovely Little Moon Spirit."

"I'll do it, I'll do it... A Chu, you tell me, I'll do it."

I don't know if cooking can be addictive, but Little Moon Spirit seems to really like it and doesn't have any aversion to it at all, unlike Wu Chu himself.

"Alright, I'll tell you, just do as I say."

"Uh-huh..."

A plate of spicy stir-fried snails, two cups of Purple Jade Spirit Brew, drinking in the pavilion in the breeze, gazing at the lake and mountains, seeing the lush greenery everywhere, one can't help but feel refreshed and relaxed, as if life has reached its peak.

"A Chu, do you think Dragon Meat can be stir-fried like this?"

Wu Chu nodded and said, "That's possible, but Dragon Meat is not easy to cook and is not good for stir-frying. The best way is to stew it over low heat to extract all its flavor. If we had a higher-temperature flame, perhaps we could shorten the cooking time."

Unfortunately, Wu Chu could only dream of things like the Samadhi True Fire and the Southern Bright Flame.

In fact, the flame produced by burning Purple Jade Divine Tree wood is already quite hot, several levels higher than the flame produced by burning ordinary wood.

Otherwise, cooking this Dragon Meat would be even more troublesome.

Time flows silently, like water. It seems like only yesterday we saw the mountains covered in lush greenery, but in the blink of an eye, they are already ablaze with vibrant colors.

In the season when butterflies flutter and bees are busy, the fragrance of flowers wafts through the air, Wu Chu are also busy cultivating new land.

In addition to planting spices like ginger, Scallions and Garlic, and garlic, Wu Chu is also preparing to plant Evodia, star anise, and Goji Berry. Of course, not many star anise plants are needed; just one or two will suffice.

In addition, he plans to transplant some lotus roots to the lake shore, partly for easier harvesting in the autumn, partly for ornamental purposes, and even to attract water birds to roost, making it easier to catch them later.

Eating Dragon Meat Dragon Meat all the time, no matter how delicious, will eventually get boring. They need to change up their diet occasionally, and those water birds would be a good alternative.

They can be used to stew dried mushrooms, and then you'll have duck and old mushroom soup.

When he stood shirtless under the scorching sun, wielding a hoe and sweating profusely, Wu Chu truly understood how difficult it had been for his parents.

He had only reclaimed a few acres of wasteland, and his body was many times stronger than his own father's, yet he was already sweating profusely. One can only imagine how much more sweaty an ordinary person would be.

Thinking of his parents and relatives on Earth, Wu Chu could only sigh inwardly.

I've been in this world for a year now, which is over 360 years according to Earth time. How much time has passed on Earth?

If that day ever comes and I am fortunate enough to leave this world, will I truly be able to find that specific point in River of Time?

Wu Chu was confused and only felt melancholy. So, he picked a blade of grass, sat down, and started blowing on it. After a few puffs, he threw the grass away and called out, "Yibao, play some upbeat music! Something more energetic!"

"Dongci, daci, Ereb, raise your hands..."

A catchy melody blared from the phone, instantly enlivening the entire flower field, as if the butterflies and bees were dancing to the beat.

In half a day, Wu Chu finished all the farm work.

Then he called Little Moon Spirit, and together they collected fresh flowers from the flower field. He planned to try making some perfume. The method he used was simple: distillation.

"A Chu, what are these flowers for? Can we eat them?"

"..."

Wu Chu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It can be eaten, but it's not for researching food right now; it's for making some flavoring."

It has to be said that Wu Chu is quite flamboyant. Little Moon Spirit doesn't need this at all, because Little Moon Spirit herself has a fragrance that is unique to fairies.

As for Wu Chu, if he had any body odor, it would only be the smell of sweat.

In addition, Fat Dog A Qiu also had a strange smell, so Wu Chu thought it would be better to make some perfume to make the place smell better, since there was nothing else to do anyway.

If he could find some fragrant wood, he wouldn't mind making some incense.

Unfortunately, fragrant wood is a blind spot for Little Moon Spirit, and she has no way to help Wu Chu find those fragrant wood materials, so she can only rely on these fragrant flowers.

And so, the busy season of spring quietly passed by.

As the sweltering summer approached, Purple Jade Mountain was hit by a torrential downpour that lasted for two days. The lake level rose, and the flower fields were almost submerged.

Wu Chu called Little Moon Spirit, and together they built a long dike along the edge of the flower field by the lake to keep the lake water from overflowing into the flower field.

"Are you crazy?! How can it rain so heavily?!"

Looking at the rushing water in the newly reclaimed farmland ditches, Wu Chu couldn't help but complain.

Little Moon Spirit looked in a certain direction, her little eyebrows turning into two silkworms. Then, she flashed and disappeared from the spot. A moment later, she returned, carrying a shivering baby deer in her Little Moon Spirit hand. "A Chu, this heavy rain must have been caused by it."

"..."
