Chapter 145 Peach Tree Becomes a Spirit
He rubbed his eyes hard and shook his head, trying to clear his head, but Su Yue's words were still echoing in his mind.
In the end, Old Luo realized that he might really be hallucinating and needed a good night's sleep to recover.
Without saying a word, he stood up, waving Su Yue away while muttering, "No, no, I need to go to sleep and see if you're just bragging to me!"
And so, Su Yue was ruthlessly kicked out of the room by Old Man Luo.
Su Yue, who had been kicked out, would have smashed down the door and fought him for another eight hundred rounds if it weren't for the fact that Old Man Luo was still sick.
Finally, after putting on his cap, he returned to the Star-Picking Tower in a huff.
When they returned to the backyard of the Star-Picking Tower and ate the peach blossom jelly that Qiaoyun had carefully made, their mood instantly became cheerful again.
Su Yue sat on a stone bench, eating while listening to Qiao Yun talk incessantly about the interesting things happening in the courtyard.
“The vegetables in our little yard are growing incredibly fast! We harvest so many every day that we can’t possibly eat them all.”
"Qiaoyun said excitedly, her eyes sparkling."
Then, she changed the subject and pointed to the jujube tree in the outer courtyard, "And also, that jujube tree is quite famous now!"
Every day, many people line up there to pray devoutly.
I heard there was a couple who had been married for almost two years but still hadn't conceived.
Later, after we came to the Star-Picking Tower to pray for blessings, on our way back, as we passed that jujube tree, a jujube happened to fall from the tree.
After the couple picked it up and ate it, they were surprised to find that they became pregnant less than half a month after returning home!
Sure enough, a few days ago they came here specifically to fulfill their vow, and the news spread quickly throughout the surrounding area.
Nowadays, many people from other places who come specifically to pray for children will definitely go to the jujube tree to pray as soon as they enter our Zhaixinglou, hoping to have a child as soon as possible, just like that lucky couple.
It's truly amazing; whenever someone goes to that tree and sincerely prays, a date always falls from it.
After saying this, Qiaoyun turned around with a smile and went into the house. A moment later, she brought out a plate of fragrant melon seeds and a plate of peanuts and placed them on the table.
Su Yue hadn't heard such interesting gossip in a long time, and she excitedly pulled Qiao Yun to sit down with her.
The two sat together, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds and chewing peanuts, while listening to Qiaoyun's endless stream of strange tales.
"I've also heard that some people prayed under the jujube tree for three days in a row before it dropped a single jujube. And during those three days, other people's jujubes would drop when they prayed, but his jujubes wouldn't. Don't you think our jujube tree is really a spirit?"
Qiaoyun leaned closer to Su Yue and whispered.
Su Yue had been busy with other things these past few days and hadn't even bothered to look at the jujube tree.
She couldn't help but wonder: Could the jujube tree really have become a spirit?
Then Su Yue said to Qiaoyun, who was standing next to her, "It's really hard to say. Why don't we go over and take a look again tonight? That way we can figure out what's going on."
Qiaoyun found it very reasonable and nodded in agreement.
Qiaoyun continued, "There are too many people during the day, so we can only wait until night."
Everything we grow here tastes especially delicious. Look at those peach trees over there; they've only just started blooming!
The weather was still a bit cold, yet it had already attracted so many bees.
Every time I pass under the tree, I hear a buzzing sound in my ears; I can even see what looks like a beehive on the tree.
Upon hearing the words "building a beehive," Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she instantly became interested.
Without saying a word, she grabbed Qiaoyun and started running towards the peach tree.
Qiaoyun was a little afraid of being stung by the bees, so she stood far away and pointed in the direction of the peach tree to guide Su Yue.
Su Yue wasn't very tall, and at first, she was standing far away and couldn't see what was happening in the tree at all.
So she carefully moved closer and finally saw that there was indeed a beehive of moderate size on the peach tree.
At this moment, bees were flying all over the peach tree, roughly estimated to be over a hundred.
If this trend continues, it won't be long before the entire peach tree is surrounded by swarms of bees.
But then again, honey is a really good thing!
Su Yue used her mental power to directly store the small beehive into her spatial storage, and also collected most of the bees along with it.
They watered the peach tree with more spiritual spring water, and this time they watered too much. As a result, the peach blossoms fell off the tree quickly, and small green peaches grew in their place.
The little peach slowly grew until it was the size of a bowl, and then it began to turn red little by little.
Finally, the entire peach tree was filled with large, pink peaches.
This change startled the bees that were feeding on the peach blossoms in the tree, and the remaining bees began to fly around erratically.
They couldn't find their own nest, nor could they find a single peach blossom still in bloom.
Su Yue only wanted to water the peach tree with some spiritual spring water, so that the peach blossoms could bloom for a few more days, allowing the bees to drink more nectar and build a new nest on the peach tree.
She never expected the spiritual spring water to be so potent; she only poured about a small cup.
But seeing the bees flying around among the peach trees, he still collected them all into his space, allowing them to reunite.
The various vegetables in the small vegetable garden are growing exceptionally well; if they were to rely solely on themselves, they probably couldn't possibly finish them all.
Standing by the vegetable patch, Su Yue thought for a moment and then decided to have Qiaoyun arrange for some people to pick all the fresh vegetables.
She thought to herself that she could send someone to deliver some of the vegetables to the homes of powerful and influential people in Kyoto.
This not only strengthens the relationship between them, but also allows them to promote and advertise their upcoming shops in advance.
As for the ripe peaches, they certainly can't be given away for free.
Su Yue thought that some of these peaches should be kept for them to eat, and the rest should be sold when the shop officially opens.
However, she still generously picked two big, red peaches from the peach tree and put them into Qiaoyun's vegetable basket, which she had just filled with vegetables.
"Qiaoyun, have someone send this basket of vegetables and these two peaches to the palace later, so that His Majesty can also have a taste."
"Since we've already given them to everyone else, we can't leave His Majesty out! These two peaches are a special treat for him, we're giving him two extra." Su Yue said to Qiaoyun with a smile.
Upon hearing her mistress's instructions, Qiaoyun stopped picking vegetables.
She walked to the pool to wash her hands, then carefully picked up the basket full of fresh vegetables and peaches, and turned to leave the vegetable garden.
Since Qiaoyun left, Su Yue has been the only one left in the courtyard.
She looked around and found that everyone else had disappeared.
Since that was the case, Su Yue simply stopped thinking about it and turned back into the Star-Picking Tower, preparing to continue her dedicated cultivation.
