Zhao Hai nodded and continued, “Grandpa Grimm, what about the meat? Did we buy some demonic beasts to raise?”
Grimm did not know why Zhao Hai was asking this. He thought that he was afraid that there was no meat to eat, so he immediately said, “Young Master, don’t worry. We have bought some blue-eyed rabbits and long-haired pigs. Young Master, you don’t have to worry about not having meat.”
Zhao Hai was caught between laughter and tears. It seemed like Adam’s personality was really not good in the past. He wanted to ask about animals that bred quickly and were not picky about food, but Grimm thought that he was worried about not having meat to eat.
At this moment, Merlyn and Meg walked in with a few plates of food. The food on the plates was much simpler than Zhao Hai’s.
Zhao Hai looked at his plate. There was a white bread, two eggs, a piece of meat, and some vegetables. In this situation, his food was already very good.
He looked at the others’ plates; there was only black bread and some vegetables. There were no eggs or meat at all. This made Zhao Hai’s heart ache, but he did not say anything. He only picked up his knife and fork and ate. When Grimm and the others saw that he had begun to eat, they also ate.
Grimm and the others did not eat quickly. Only Rock and Wood ate quickly. Moreover, it could be seen that their portion was much larger.
It had to be said that Merlyn’s food was quite delicious. Although it was not as delicious as the food he ate in China, it was already amazing that she could make such simple food taste .
Zhao Hai nodded in satisfaction and quickly ate the food in front of him. Although he was not used to eating with knives and forks, he was indeed a little hungry, so he ate quickly.
However, when he finished eating, Grimm and the others had already finished eating. They were all standing there and looking at him. This made Zhao Hai very helpless, but he also knew that this situation could not be changed in a day or two.
After eating, Merlyn and Meg cleared the plates and brought up a pot. As soon as he smelled the smell coming from the pot, Zhao Hai knew that it was filled with Kea. Kea was something like coffee and was the favorite beverage of the nobles on the continent.
Grimm poured a cup for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai took a sip. It tasted similar to coffee. He couldn’t help but nod. He picked up the pot and poured a cup for Grimm. Then, he pointed at the stool beside him and said, “Grandpa Grimm, sit. I have something to discuss with you.”
Grimm quickly said, “No, this old servant will just stand.”
Zhao Hai stood up and pressed Grimm to the chair. “Grandpa Grimm, you’re from my grandfather’s generation. You watched me grow up. Speaking of which, you’re also my elder. This time, the Buda family is in trouble. If not for you, my life might have been in danger. You don’t have to be polite. Please sit, I really have something to discuss with you.”
Grimm looked at Zhao Hai as he sat. Suddenly, tears flowed down his face. He muttered, “I’ll sit. I’ll sit. Young Master has grown up and is sensible.”
Zhao Hai pretended to sigh and said, “After experiencing so much, it’s time to grow up. I’m sorry, Grandpa Grimm. I’ve made you worry in the past. It won’t happen again.”
Grimm shook his head and said, “No, Young Master, don’t say that. It’s all my fault that something happened to the master. That’s why the Buda family fell into such a state.”
Zhao Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly. “It’s not your fault. Alright, let’s not talk about this. Grandpa Grimm, do you know what kind of magical beasts on the continent are not picky about food, breed very fast, and grow quickly?”
Grimm was stunned by Zhao Hai’s question, but he knew about these things, so he immediately said, “There are many kinds of magical beasts on the continent. The blue-eyed rabbits and long-haired pigs we raise belong to this kind of magical beasts. They are all level one magical beasts and don’t have much attack power. The blue-eyed rabbits take only three months to mature. Moreover, after they mature, they can give birth once every month on average. The number of children they give birth to will not be lower than five. The growth cycle of the long-haired pigs is longer, about eight to ten months. After that, they can give birth once every four months on average. The number of children they give birth to will not be lower than seven. These two kinds of magical beasts are also the main source of meat on the continent. There are many people who raise them.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Which of these two magical beasts is more easy to raise?”
Grimm said, “Although blue-eyed rabbits are not picky about food, they are herbivores. They usually only eat some plant leaves, unlike long-haired pigs who eat everything.”
Zhao Hai nodded and realized that the blue-eyed rabbit Grimm was talking about was no different from the rabbits on Earth. He immediately stood up and said, “Grandpa Grimm, didn’t you say that we bought blue-eyed rabbits? Take me there.”
Although Grimm did not know what Zhao Hai was thinking, seeing that Zhao Hai was finally concerned about the situation of the family, he was very happy. However, he still said, “Young Master, it’s already late today. I think we should go and take a look tomorrow. Young Master, you should go back and rest early.”
Zhao Hai looked at the sky, and although he was a little hurried, he nodded. “Alright, let’s go and take a look tomorrow. But Grandpa Grimm, I saw that there are many supplies in the square. Why haven’t they been moved to the castle?”
Grimm said with a troubled expression, “Young Master, it’s not that we don’t want to move them inside the castle, but the castle is too small to accommodate so many resources. Therefore, we are organizing the slaves to build a wooden shed so that we can put those things in it.”
Zhao Hai nodded and looked at the sky outside. “Do those slaves have a place to stay? It’s already April, and it’s almost the rainy season. We have to let those slaves have a place to stay. Our Buda family only has so few people left. We have to rely on them in the future.”
The uneasy expression on Grimm’s face changed. When Zhao Hai asked about the supplies in the castle, he was afraid that Zhao Hai would ask about the slaves. In the eyes of the nobles in the continent, those slaves were far less valuable than those supplies. If Zhao Hai thought the same, he would definitely chase those slaves out of the castle and put the supplies in the castle.
However, Grimm knew very well that there were only so many people left in the Buda family. Moreover, it was almost the rainy season. If he made those slaves sleep outside, they would easily fall sick. At that time, they would face the predicament of having no one to use.
However, Grimm did not expect Zhao Hai to think of this. This made him know that his Young Master had finally grown up, so he quickly said, “Young master, don’t worry. It’s all arranged.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “With Grandpa Grimm around, I’m relieved. Alright, I’ll go back and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.” With that, he walked upstairs.
At this moment, Merlyn and Meg walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Grimm standing there excitedly, Merlyn asked curiously, “Old man, what’s wrong?”
Grimm suddenly laughed and said, “Young Master has grown up. He has become sensible. Hahahaha, the heavens haven’t given up on our Buda family.” Then, he told Merlyn about the conversation he had with Zhao Hai. After saying that, he smiled and said, “Young Master is concerned about the family’s affairs. This is a good thing. As long as Young Master can manage the family well, even if the Buda family can’t develop and expand, it can still continue on. No matter what, the Buda family will not disappear.”
Merlyn was also very happy. “It doesn’t matter if we can develop or not. As long as Young Master is safe, it’s fine. I think it’s even better now. In the imperial capital, although the Buda family was glorious, it was too eye-catching. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been implicated by those guys. Now, it’s better to stay away from that world and live normal lives here. There’s nothing in the Black Soil Wilderness, and no one will have designs on this place. Our Buda family is safer here.”
Grimm nodded with a smile. “Yes, that’s right. That’s why I bought equal number of male and female slaves this time. It’s for the future development of the family. I don’t want to think about anything else now. As long as Young Master is safe and the Buda family can continue, I’m satisfied.”
Merlyn nodded and smiled. Meg stood behind her. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes showed a trace of happiness.
Zhao Hai also heard Grimm’s laughter. Thinking about Grimm’s expression just now, Zhao Hai knew why Grimm was so happy. When he thought of this, he could not help but smile bitterly. He did not expect them to be so happy just because he had acted normal. It seemed like the previous Adam had really not done anything good.
After returning to his room, Zhao Hai could not fall asleep. Perhaps because he had slept too much during the day, he could not fall asleep no matter what.
After lying for more than an hour, Zhao Hai still did not fall asleep. After some thought, he decided to go to the Space Farm to see how the radishes were doing.
As soon as he entered the Space Farm, Zhao Hai was stunned. He did not expect that the radishes he had planted for a few hours had already grown large leaves. It seemed like they were not far from maturity.
Zhao Hai looked at these radishes in a daze. He really did not expect these radishes to grow so quickly. Although space soil and spring water could increase the growth speed of plants, this was too fast, right?
Zhao Hai walked to the side of the field and dug out a radish to take a look. He realized that a small portion of the radish had already grown out of the ground. However, because the time was too short, it was still not big. He had to wait for a while before it could mature.
Zhao Hai chuckled for a while and buried the radish. Then, he stood up and muttered, “At this speed, it will mature tomorrow morning. At that time, I can ask Grandpa Grimm if there are radishes here. I can also see if those blue-eyed rabbits eat radish leaves. If they do, I can open a ranch. Hehehe.”
