Chapter 172 Heart-to-heart talk
"correct!"
Jiang Baobao quickly put away the list and slapped his forehead, "Today's ginseng is not ripe yet! I thought there seemed to be something left to do."
The emperor minister took the opportunity to say, "Are you going to enter the space? Take me with you. I haven't been to your space for a long time."
Jiang Baobao laughed and said, "Okay, originally you should have been the one doing the work of harvesting vegetables, but now it's all done by robots, haha."
As they spoke, the two of them dodged and entered the space together.
"How come your space has become so big?" Emperor Chen looked at everything around him in surprise, feeling both familiar and strange.
"What is that? Flying insects?" The emperor pointed at the bees flying around in the distance and immediately became alert.
Jiang Baobao patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, they are not insects, they are called bees. Don't be fooled by their ugly appearance, but the honey they produce is delicious. According to the time, we will be able to eat the first batch of honey in half a month."
"Bees?" Hearing that they were not insects, Emperor Chen felt relieved. "That's a nice name, but why are they all staying on those flowers?"
Seeing his curious look, Jiang Baobao patiently gave him scientific knowledge, "They are collecting nectar. Bees will fly to the flowers and use their unique long tongues to suck nectar into their honey sacs.
After collecting enough nectar, it will fly back to the hive and spit the nectar into an empty cell.
They will repeatedly swallow and spit out nectar in the nest chamber. During this process, the bees will add enzymes to the nectar, gradually converting the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose.
When the water content in the nectar reaches a certain level, the bees will seal the cells with beeswax, thus completing the brewing of honey. When the time comes, I can collect them and they will be sweet and delicious honey. "
After hearing this, the emperor frowned unconsciously, "It sounds like there is a lot of their saliva in this honey. Can it be eaten?"
“Uh…” Jiang Baobao scratched his head, “Although bees may secrete some liquid in their mouths, these liquids are still different from our human saliva, at least in terms of nature and function.
So don't worry, when the honey is collected, I will leave a small jar for you. Once you have tasted it, you will know how delicious this honey is!"
After saying that, she asked the emperor to look around by himself, and then came to the place where ginseng was grown.
Recently, Jiang Baobao has focused his main energy on ginseng.
According to what Zhong Yanli said before, this batch of ginseng should be usable as medicine within a month.
If she tries harder, it might take less than a month.
Thinking of this, she began to use her supernatural powers to continue to induce the growth of ginseng.
When your energy is exhausted, take a recovery potion and continue.
Although the emperor's ministers were walking around, their eyes were always on Jiang Baobao.
When he saw her drink another tube of recovery potion, he immediately stepped forward and stopped Jiang Baobao from transferring her supernatural powers.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Baobao looked at the emperor's minister in confusion.
"You have already used several tubes of recovery potion today. You can't use it anymore."
"I'm fine. I told you this thing is a product of the system. It's very safe. This ginseng is very important. I must grow them as soon as possible." As she said this, she was about to continue releasing her supernatural powers.
But unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the emperor's minister again.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Baobao was a little angry, "If you continue like this, I will really be angry!"
The emperor minister did not compromise. He grabbed Jiang Baobao's shoulders and asked her to look at him. "Baobao, can you tell me what happened recently? You were never so radical before."
Jiang Baobao looked back at him. After a long pause, she let go of Di Chen's hand and said, "How am I radical? I was like this before when I was in Morning Star."
Seeing her deny it, the emperor sighed helplessly, "Do you want to see what you look like now? Your face is pale, without a trace of blood.
Although energy can be restored, long-term use of supernatural powers will cause real loss of mental strength. Bao Bao, what happened to you? You don't even want to tell me?"
Seeing that she lowered her head and was unwilling to answer, the emperor continued, "Before I set out, the old general repeatedly told me to take good care of you, but your current condition makes me very worried. If you don't want to talk, then I can only let the old general ask you."
"I'm fine, don't tell my brother everything!" Jiang Baobao raised his head suddenly, and his eyes towards the minister of heaven were full of threats.
The emperor consoled her and said, "Okay, I won't tell him, but you have to tell me what happened to you, otherwise I will be worried too."
Seeing that Jiang Baobao's face was getting worse and worse, the emperor suggested, "How about we go out first? There's no place to sit here."
Jiang Baobao glanced at the ginseng field and finally nodded.
In the tent, Jiang Baobao curled up in a bird's nest chair woven with vines, holding the warm water poured by the emperor, and slowly spoke, "Actually, I don't know what's wrong with me. Ever since I heard General Li talk about the current situation of Tiankui Star last time, I felt very uncomfortable.
I have been feeling anxious these days. After coming here, I realized how insignificant what I did before was. Emperor Chen, I am really worried. I am afraid that I don’t have enough time and I am afraid that I haven’t done enough. I was too casual before. I should work harder. "
Hearing this slightly self-blaming tone, Di Chen took two steps forward and squatted in front of her, "It's not that you didn't work hard enough, it's that the trauma in this world is too great, too much.
You only have one person and one pair of hands, but you have done what many people cannot do, which is already amazing. The root cause of their pain is not caused by you, so you don't need to blame yourself.
You just need to follow your heart and proceed step by step. There is no need to put all the burden on yourself. You don’t owe anyone anything.”
"Really? Then if we really fail in the future... they will be disappointed in me."
"They? Who do you mean?"
"Everyone..." Jiang Baobao paused, then continued, "Those eyes full of expectation, I have seen too many of them these days..."
"No." The emperor interrupted her, his tone extremely gentle, "Everyone saw everything you did. As for the outcome, that is not something you can decide.
Even if we fail, we won’t be disappointed, because we have tried our best and have no regrets. That’s enough.”
The emperor patted her head gently, "And I will always be by your side. Whether it succeeds or not, I will face it with you."
As Jiang Baobao listened to the emperor's words, the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, and another feeling was quietly spreading.
She nodded slightly, a smile on her face, "Thank you, Emperor. Maybe this time, I was too stubborn..."
The emperor tapped her forehead lightly, "Now, can you have a good rest?"
"Gululu..."
Jiang Baobao hurriedly covered his stomach and said embarrassedly.
"I'm hungry."
