Chapter 264: Everything Proceeds in an Orderly Manner
Jiang Chen had just finished his morning chores when a Paper Crane descended from the sky.
Tie Zhu hopped off, looking like a new man. Gone was the ashen-faced, dying invalid of five days ago. His cheeks were flushed with health, his eyes bright, and a vigorous spring in his step.
“Senior Brother Jiang!” Tie Zhu bowed deeply, his voice thick with emotion. “I owe you my life. If not for that ounce of Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine, I’d still be rotting in that bed.”
“We’re family,” Jiang Chen said, waving off the gratitude. “No need for formalities.”
Tie Zhu nodded, eager to repay the debt with labor. “So, where are we digging this pond?”
“Follow me.”
They walked to the edge of the irrigation canal, adjacent to the five-acre Spirit Farm. Jiang Chen swept his hand across the open ground. “From here, extending to the Four Seasons Fruit Tree.”
Tie Zhu narrowed his eyes, surveying the terrain with a professional gaze. “What are you planning to raise?”
“Fish, shrimp, turtles… anything I can eat,” Jiang Chen said simply. “Why buy questionable stock from the market when I can raise premium quality right here?”
