Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 562 - 549: Wool Sweater and Bobo
The attributes of wool are quite similar to duck feathers, both being soft and fluffy. This time, he harvested six large bundles of wool.
Han Qiwu quickly stashed them away, then hurried to the weaving machine to check if there were any suitable clothing or bedding options.
Looking them over one by one, he actually found something fitting.
[Wool Sweater (Lightweight)]
[Materials: [Wool Bundle]×20]
[Special Effect - Insulation: The wool sweater keeps you fabulous without freezing!]
[Note: A wool sweater isn’t meant for summer, okay?]
"Who wears a wool sweater in summer?" Han Qiwu muttered helplessly, plus the wool he had wasn’t enough.
He’d need to collect for a few more days.
Back in his house, he decided to make a caramel nut pie to take to Tang Qingying.
About ten minutes later, just as he was kneading the dough, a video call invitation from Tang Qingying popped up.
Upon answering, Tang Qingying appeared with sleepy eyes and a soft, slightly childish voice, saying, "Up so early? Are you heading to Uncle and Auntie’s place today? How are you coming here?"
"Still early. You should sleep a bit more. I’ll take the shuttle later to the research institute to find you," Han Qiwu replied gently.
"Oh, okay, I’ll sleep a little more then." Tang Qingying, half-asleep, hung up the call and went back to snoring peacefully.
Han Qiwu chuckled softly and turned on the TV to take a quick glance.

[Almanac]

[Shennong Recipe]

"The almanac’s looking good today." Han Qiwu glanced outside at the drizzle and got back to work.
After finishing the dough, he placed it into the oven, washed his hands, and rode his pony toward the traveling vendor’s spot.
Might as well grab some good-quality goods early~
Upon reaching the woods where the vendor was located, Han Qiwu spotted the little pink pig from afar, happily playing in the rain under a big floral umbrella, tongue sticking out.
The traveling vendor noticed Han Qiwu immediately and greeted him warmly, "Come over, quick! Got lots of good stuff today!"
"Why so enthusiastic? Did you figure I’m loaded with cash or something?" Han Qiwu joked.
The traveling vendor shook his head mysteriously and said, "No, it’s not about money. It’s mainly because your farming skills have improved. I can sell you more types of seeds now."
With that, he handed the inventory list to Han Qiwu.
[Weekly Fixed Items]:
[Scallions/Ginger/Cotton/Spinach/Soybean Seeds]: 150 Gold each, abundant stock
[Note: The variety of seeds increases with the cumulative harvest.]
[Weekly Exchange Items]
[Stairs]
[Exchange Material: Emerald ×1]
[Weekly Refresh Items]

[Quarterly Refresh Items]
[Gift of Fate]: Price 1,000,000 Gold, Remaining: 1
[Note: Fate will bestow you many gifts]
After perusing the item list, Han Qiwu was genuinely intrigued.
The new categories were quite interesting.
It meant he could buy some special seeds here weekly, which included the cotton seeds he had been wanting badly.
Buy now!
There was also a newly added exchange item.
"Stairs? What use do they have?" Han Qiwu wondered curiously.
Since the vendor was bold enough to add them to the exchange menu, there had to be a good reason.
Stairs were for descending mine levels.
Hold on!
Could it be that by exchanging emeralds for large numbers of stairs, one could bypass the shallower mining layers and head straight to the deeper, higher-yield levels?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
The same Explosive Snowball could yield only two Iridium Ore at Level 1 of the Endless Mine, but at Level 50, it could blast out nine Iridium Ore instead.
Essentially, exchanging emeralds for Iridium Ore.
"I’ve got a decent number of emeralds at home. Next time, I’ll bring some over to trade." Han Qiwu silently noted this idea.
As for the two fruit trees and one scarecrow in the purchasing menu...
No need to hesitate.
A hefty wallet of 90,000 Gold! What’s a little extra spending?
Just buy them!
He also planned to purchase some seeds.
Playing it safe, he bought just one cotton seed first to check it out.
Unfortunately, cotton seeds were summer crops too.
Never mind, he’d come back to buy them in summer.
After completing the transaction, the traveling vendor smiled at Han Qiwu and said, "Work hard to earn money! You might just stumble upon unexpected surprises."
"Alrighty." Han Qiwu didn’t quite understand what surprises the vendor meant but still nodded in agreement.
It’s never wrong to make money!
After bidding farewell to the vendor, Han Qiwu rode his pony to Zhuan Zhu’s place and spent 20,000 Gold on various meats, leaving behind some fresh veggies and fruits as well.
Couldn’t let Brother Zhuan Zhu kneel on the washboard again.
Returning home, he took the pie out of the oven and packed it up, then headed to town to catch a shuttle to Mr. Tang’s research institute.
Over an hour later, dressed in white, Han Qiwu stood in front of the research institute and reached out to hug Tang Qingying.
"There are so many people around." Tang Qingying blushed shyly but didn’t struggle free from Han Qiwu’s embrace.
"Have you had breakfast yet? I brought you a pie." Han Qiwu smiled and pulled out the pie from his pocket.
Tang Qingying gasped in delight, eagerly grabbing the pie and digging in. She smirked mischievously, "I knew you’d bring me breakfast, so I didn’t eat before going out to buy gifts!"
"Don’t you dare do that again. If you keep misbehaving, I won’t make you treats anymore." Han Qiwu teased, tapping lightly on her nose.
"Hmph!" Tang Qingying led Han Qiwu onto the bus, munching on the pie as she proudly declared, "Take a look at the gifts I bought and see if they’re suitable. For Uncle, I got authentic West Lake Longjing Tea from my dad. For Aunt, I bought a huge bouquet and subscribed to a six-month weekly flower service—all in purple."
"Impressive." Han Qiwu smiled, reaching out to ruffle Tang Qingying’s hair. Mr. Tang had even put on Blue Enchantress perfume today, looking especially beautiful.
"You bet!" Tang Qingying, now finished with the pie, took the milk Han Qiwu handed over and took a sip, then let out a contented sigh. "This milk is so good!" She promptly gulped down the remaining half pound in one go.
"Full and satisfied, off we go! Time for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet the in-laws." Tang Qingying said gleefully.
Han Qiwu glanced out the window, "If you’re an ugly daughter-in-law, then there are no beauties in the world."
Tang Qingying beamed with happiness, leaned over to help Han Qiwu fasten his seatbelt, then thoughtfully gave him a soft kiss on the forehead.
"A little reward for you!"
Muah~
