Chapter 258: Growth Speed

Jiang Gu looked at the few people who remained silent. She thought they were worried about her father and herself having no straw shoes to wear. Her mother had made several new cloth shoes from old clothes before, but going to Grand Cloud Mountain would certainly involve a lot of walking. A single pair of shoes would wear out before they even arrived. In comparison, straw shoes are cheaper and more durable.

Moreover, if the new shoes were worn out, their family would be left without shoes.

She quickly explained, “1 actually wanted to borrow a pair of shoes for my father, but Little Fatty’s family didn’t have any, so I couldn’t… For me, you all don’t need to worry. I will be careful when 1 walk to ensure my shoes don’t wear out!”

Zhou Lan looked at her sensible daughter, her heart ached, and she couldn’t help but hug her, “Xiao Gu, you don’t have to worry about anything. Your parents and sister will take care of everything for you. If your shoes wear out, your mother can remake them or buy new ones from the town. You just wear them with confidence.”

Only after hearing these words did Jiang Gu feel relieved, sitting next to her mother, watching her busy.

Jiang Xia shared the news she had learned from Zhang Ling with her family. After hearing that they would pass through a large town and a market, Jiang Chuan decided not to go to town the next day.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Chuan used a sickle to clean the thorns from the wooden sticks, making a fence for Jiang Xia’s interspace.

Unlike her mother and Jiang Gu, who had superhuman strength, Jiang Xia needed to rest when she got tired. She worked until the next evening before she finished setting up the fence.

At dinner, Jiang Xia shared her new discovery, “I’ve found that the fish in the interspace grow very quickly. Now they are about one and a half palms long! And it seems they have laid eggs. Starting from this morning, there are more and more fish in the water, both big and small. There are probably twenty or thirty of them now.”

Both Jiang Chuan and Xiao Gu stopped picking up food, their eyes wide and mouths agape, looking at Jiang Xia. They knew how big the fish were when they caught them – only about half a palm long and very thin. It was incredible that in just a day, their size had doubled!

Zhou Lan thought they were shocked by the increasing number of fish and explained, “This is normal. Fish lay about twenty or thirty eggs at a time. The water in your interspace is magical, so their growth rate is certainly faster. Growing to a small size overnight is reasonable.”

Jiang Xia then compared the growth rate in her interspace with the actual growth rate of plants and animals, and calculated their life cycle.

Resting her chin on her chopsticks, she said, “Based on my calculations, the plants in the interspace have a growth cycle of about seven days. But there are some differences between different plants. Once mature, they will not grow anymore, and they won’t overgrow. The soil just ensures they remain fresh.”

“As for the animals, because 1 have too few animals in my interspace, the ones 1 can currently calculate are chickens with a growth cycle of three days, ducks also three days, geese take five days. The rabbit 1 caught was already that size, so 1 couldn’t calculate its growth rate, but the growth time for a rabbit is seven days. As for the fish, 1 think they can grow even bigger. Let’s see tomorrow.”

After listening, Jiang Chuan, always the entrepreneur, began to think aloud, “This is great, daughter! In the future, we can start a farm using your interspace. We can earn a lot without having to farm the land!”

Jiang Chuan’s last sentence was, of course, a joke. He believes that gaining without working is wrong. If heaven gave them these abilities, it was not for them to misuse or be lazy. They must use them wisely.

However, Jiang Gu didn’t catch the adult’s humor and clapped her hands in excitement, “Yay! Then in the future, mom and dad can stay at home with me and my second sister!”

Jiang Xia immediately gave Jiang Chuan a reproachful look. Jiang Gu was still a child, in a crucial period of education. How could they impart such ideas carelessly?

So, Jiang Xia immediately pulled Jiang Gu aside to explain and emphasized that she should have her own judgment and not take every joke seriously.

Since they were setting off early the next day, Zhou Lan cleaned up after dinner and made some pancakes with fine flour for the journey..
