In the afternoon, the two sisters followed Tian Jing to the home of the person who had pre-ordered wild eggs to pay, and asked the villagers to deliver them to the courtyard that evening.
They would be leaving tomorrow morning after loading their transport.
After returning to the courtyard, the sisters finally went into the ground floor of the courtyard to see the wild pheasants and rabbits.
Shen Jierong wanted to take a few wild pheasants home to raise.
Tian Jing reminded her, "I've already ordered four wolfdogs from the village. This time, you can take them back and keep them in Ziyu's villa first."
Since they were going to raise wolfdogs, it wouldn't be suitable to raise wild pheasants, so Shen Jierong gave up.
Shen Jianfang set her sights on the wild rabbits: "Wild pheasants need to be raised freely, but wild rabbits can be kept in cages."
Tian Jing could only continue to remind her, "Rabbit urine is very smelly, rabbits eat a lot, and they also multiply quickly."
"I know that." Shen Jianfang nodded: "I raised them when I was in the countryside, but unfortunately, after a few days, they ended up in the pot."
In the end, not only Shen Jianfang wanted a pair of wild rabbits, but Shen Jierong also wanted a pair of wild rabbits.
Tian Jing asked Ouyang Meihua for rabbit cages.
Her wild rabbits and pheasants were never sold to outsiders, so she didn't have chicken or rabbit cages ready.
Since there were wild rabbits, it was appropriate to pack the four puppies as well, so she asked Li Liguo to help weave two bamboo back baskets with lids.
At five o'clock the next morning, Li Liguo and his wife delivered the freshly picked vegetables to the courtyard.
The baskets of vegetables were loaded into the trunk of the seven-seater car.
The wild eggs were stacked on the car seats.
The keeper brought the four puppies and put them into two back baskets, tucking them into the gaps between the car seats.
The two rabbit cages were then added, filling the space.
Shen Jierong gritted her teeth: "If I had known, I should have brought a truck."
"No stock!" Tian Jing stopped the greedy one, "We were able to get so much this time because no tourists have come to buy since before the New Year."
"The scenic area will open on May Day, and by then, thousands of tourists will be buying, and it will still be in short supply."
"If it wasn't for the fact that there are still twenty days until May Day, and if we didn't have so many fresh vegetables, you wouldn't be able to buy so many dried vegetables. It would be very difficult."
The shopping spree of the past two days made Shen Jierong forget what Tian Jing had told her. She chuckled:
"Okay, next time, Ziyu and I will come and drive this car again."
After breakfast, the two sisters, carrying some food, did not let Tian Jing see them off. They got into the car and left right at the entrance of the courtyard.
Tian Jing had time to go to the nursery to work.
She first checked on the ginseng seedlings and felt the temperature under the shade net.
The distance between the shade net and the greenhouse plastic film was quite large, and the temperature under the net was still acceptable.
At present, there was no need to add a second layer of shade net.
After transmitting a little bit of her special ability to the ginseng seedlings, Tian Jing patrolled the other greenhouses in the nursery.
The seedlings that were planted at the beginning of the month had not yet received her special ability nutrients to anchor their roots. If the seedlings anchored their roots on their own, they would not grow for a few days.
There were no dead seedlings, but there were still a small portion of wilted ones.
After Tian Jing transmitted her special ability, the roots had extended and the wilted seedlings had become vibrant.
Tian Jing was busy for more than two hours tending to the 499 greenhouses.
The seedlings were too small, and the transmission of her special ability had to be delicate, subtle, and precise.
After finishing, Captain Tian left work early.
She passed by the clinic and was called in by Zeng Jingliang.
In the clinic, not only Zeng Jingliang and his family of three were present, but also Xiao Yuan.
Yuan Yuan, who was over five years old, ran towards Tian Jing, hugged her thigh, and looked up, shouting, "Auntie, I missed you."
Tian Jing bent down and picked up Yuan Yuan, who was like a little dumpling: "Oh my, you should eat less. Auntie can't even hold you anymore."
Being called fat by her aunt, Yuan Yuan was not happy: "Auntie, it's because I've grown up. My bones are heavy, not my flesh."
Tian Jing freed one hand to pinch Yuan Yuan's chubby cheek: "Try carrying twenty pounds of pork, will it be heavy or not? Don't listen to your dad fooling you, being too fat isn't good."
Yuan Yuan hugged Tian Jing's neck: "Then Auntie, tell me about Dad. My Dad says I'm not fat."
Tian Jing asked her, "Then do you feel tired when you run? Do you feel tired when you walk long distances?"
Yuan Yuan nodded: "Tired."
"That means your body is heavy and not agile enough." Tian Jing retorted:
"Then do you still believe your Dad when he says you're not fat?"
"I don't believe it." Yuan Yuan shook her head: "Dad lied to me."
"Your dad just thinks you're cute when you're chubby and doesn't want you to lose weight. You need to have your own judgment."
Tian Jing said this, handed Yuan Yuan to Zeng Jingliang, and asked Yuan Feng, "Why did you bring Xiao Yuan here?"
Yuan Feng sighed, "I brought her with me to learn."
Yuan Feng's grand-uncle, Yuan Jinzhang, was Xiao Yuan's great-grandfather.
Yuan Jinzhang and his son had met with misfortune back then.
Only three grandsons in their teens were left. Xiao Yuan's father was the eldest, and he had learned more theoretical knowledge than practical kitchen skills.
What was passed down to the next generation was naturally not the authentic Yuan family cuisine.
They could only encourage the next generation to innovate independently on the basis of Yuan family cuisine.
After Yuan Feng learned about Xiao Yuan from Zeng Jingrong, the family of three went to North Province.
And then went with Xiao Yuan to meet her three grand-nephews whom she had never met before...
"They have messed up the Yuan family cuisine so badly. I'm bringing the most talented one with me to train them."
Tian Jing didn't know how strict the requirements for Yuan family cuisine were. If she hadn't tasted Yuan Feng's cooking, she would have thought Xiao Yuan's cooking skills were very good.
However, this was an internal matter for the Yuan family:
"Xiao Yuan, Shen Jierong left this morning. She said the chef you found for her hasn't arrived yet."
Xiao Yuan explained that her cousins were reluctant to give up the opportunity to learn from their grand-aunt.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday, when they set off for the Ku Mountain, that the cousin she had called to take her place in North Province, finally set off with them.
After asking Tian Jing about the matter she was concerned about, Zeng Jingliang asked Tian Jing about his younger brother.
Tian Jing waved her hand: "Don't worry about this matter. Zeng Jingrong will handle it. I believe Zeng Jingchu is safe."
Zeng Jingliang was still worried: "More than two years ago, my elder brother said my younger brother was fine."
"He based it on the fact that the Zeng family's business operations were normal, and the secret contact points showed no abnormalities."
"But aren't these two precisely the abnormalities?"
Tian Jing admitted that Zeng Jingliang's words had merit. Both Zeng Jingrong and she thought that Zeng Jingchu was having a conflict with his woman.
After all, Zeng Jingchu had separated the mother and son.
They both believed that Zeng Jingchu was remotely controlling the company while trying to reconcile with his woman.
After meeting Ji Xiang's mother, she guessed that Zeng Jingchu was imprisoned by Ji Xiang's mother.
It was easy for a person with special abilities to erase the contact markers left by Zeng Jingchu.
Ji Xiang's mother was a foreign person with special abilities. Without an application or work permit, she could not enter China.
If the Zeng family's business operations encountered problems, Zeng Jingchu's disappearance would be exposed. Not only would Ji Xiang's mother have quietly entered China, but the matter of her abducting ordinary people would also be exposed.
"This matter is on a higher level, and ordinary people cannot be involved. Zeng Jingchu is definitely alive."
From the way Ji Xiang's mother kissed Ji Xiang incessantly after finding him, it was clear that Ji Xiang's mother loved Ji Xiang, a child without special abilities, very much.
Therefore, she would not kill the child's biological father.
If Ji Xiang's mother had no feelings for Zeng Jingchu, she would not have imprisoned Zeng Jingchu and then taken two years to find Ji Xiang.
As for the love-hate relationship between the two, it had nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to find Zeng Jingchu and, at the same time, deter the family of Ji Xiang's mother, who treated entering and leaving China as if they were walking in their own backyards, disrespectfully.
