Acai's Sky

Chapter 684: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

Xiaojia walked cautiously to a wall of Qingxue Pavilion, reached out and gently pressed a hidden mechanism button.

There was a slight noise, and a secret door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to an underground secret room.

He turned around and nodded respectfully to the master behind him, then walked down the stairs first to lead the way for his master.

When they entered the secret room, they found that it had completely changed.

The originally narrow space has now been cleverly transformed by the Golden Raccoon into a vast underground world.

It extends downwards to a depth of more than ten meters, almost covering the entire underground area of ​​the Tong family's old house.

This massive chamber is divided into several distinct areas, each with a unique purpose.

The first thing that catches your eye is the spacious wine cellar, where large wine vats filled with fine wine are neatly arranged in rows.

Next to the wine cellar is the grain storage area, where mountains of grain emit bursts of fragrance.

Going further, there is a mountain of bacon, with all kinds of bacon hanging all over the area.

The most eye-catching thing is the giant ice cellar that occupies a considerable area.

The inside of the ice cellar was freezing cold, with crystal clear ice blocks stacked up layer by layer.

What is even more amazing is that there are countless passages surrounding the ice cellar. These passages are like blood vessels, continuously transporting the icy air to other rooms.

This allows the entire Tong family’s old house to maintain a cool and pleasant temperature even in the hot summer, just like the air-conditioning system in modern society, which is efficient and convenient.

At this time, Acai was busy posting talismans in every corner.

These talismans flickered with faint light, as if they contained mysterious power.

It turned out that in order to ensure that the items stored in the secret room could be preserved for a long time and would not deteriorate, Ah Cai deliberately cast a spell to create a protective barrier for this underground world.

Rong Mama led Ah Cai to the newly opened wine cellar area and pointed at the wooden barrels filled with sorghum wine and said:

"The sorghum liquor here is all carefully brewed and distilled by our family, and the alcohol content can reach up to 60%! Miss, would you like to put some talismans on it?"

Ah Cai responded readily: "No problem!"

As she spoke, she took out a stack of specially made talismans from her bosom - that was the [Time Acceleration Talisman] she had created by combining the principles of the array.

This kind of talisman has not yet been verified in practice, so this is a good opportunity to test its effectiveness.

Ah Cai had a satisfied smile on her face as she strolled leisurely in this mysterious and prosperous underground world.

As she walked, she murmured to herself, "There are so many things here, and so many things to see. But those cellars on the hill over there must be filled, too."

At this time, Nanny Ying, who was standing aside, was extremely anxious. She was only thinking about filling the area in front with food immediately.

Looking at the mountains of items in front of her, Nanny Ying thought to herself that if these spaces were not filled up quickly, everyone would probably starve and suffer when the drought really came.

A Cai finally felt at ease, because after careful calculation and planning, she had a clear idea and grasp of this mission.

She knows very well that only by making adequate preparations in advance can she cope with the drought when it comes and avoid being helpless and anxious.

Thinking of this, Acai couldn't help but quicken her pace and hurriedly left the basement.

When Acai walked out of the basement, she suddenly became curious and decided to use her powerful mental power to scan the entire basement.

You don't know until you see it, and once you see it, she really discovered some interesting things.

It turned out that in addition to the air-conditioning ducts leading to each room, there were actually two huge entrances and exits.

One is located in the warehouse by the large kitchen in the front yard, and the other is in the warehouse by the small kitchen in the back yard.

Recalling her previous experience, Ah Cai couldn't help but frown, because she clearly remembered that the passage leading out of the city had been firmly sealed off by Qiu Changhai and his men last time.

It now seems that it is almost impossible to contact the outside world or obtain supplies through this channel.

...

In this harvest season with clear and cool autumn air and refreshing golden breeze, the earth seems to be dyed with a layer of golden color, and the air is filled with the joy of harvest everywhere.

The potatoes and corn grown in the Tong family’s vast farmland have ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest this year!

Acai looked at the piles of potatoes and golden corn cobs in front of her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She excitedly waved her hand and called directly to her cook: "Quick! Set up the pot, let's make a fire and cook in the fields to celebrate this great harvest!"

The cooks acted quickly, brought in several huge iron pots, and gathered some dry firewood. Soon, they had a blazing fire.

Under Acai's careful command, delicious dishes began to come out of the pot one after another.

First up were five large earthenware pots of fragrant chicken stewed with potatoes. The juicy chicken blended perfectly with the soft, sweet potatoes, creating an alluring aroma.

Next came several large ceramic pots of brightly colored spicy and sour potato shreds. Each potato shred was of uniform thickness, crispy and delicious, and the sour and spicy taste was appetizing.

Then there were several large ceramic bowls of golden and crispy potato pancakes. When you took a bite, you would find that they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

Finally, there were several large pottery pots of steaming goose stewed with potatoes. The rich broth wrapped around the tender goose meat and soft potatoes was mouth-watering...

Fresh potatoes and golden corn are simply washed and put directly into a large pot and slowly cooked with clear water.

As time goes by, the pot gradually emanates an enticing aroma, especially the sweet taste of corn, which makes people salivate.

At this time, the hired farmers from the Tong family's old house gathered around, waiting with joy to taste these delicacies.

When the food finally came out of the pot, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the corn and potatoes and start chewing them.

The sweet taste of corn spreads in your mouth, making you intoxicated.

Qi Er, the steward at the side, was holding a thick planting manual. He turned to the section on grain processing and enthusiastically explained to everyone:

"Look here, if you dry the corn and grind it into powder, it can not only be preserved for a long time, but also has a wide range of uses.

It can be used like flour to make a variety of pasta, such as steamed buns, wotou, pancakes, and steamed bread, etc."

Hearing this, many farmhands all turned their gazes towards the vast cornfield, their eyes flashing with excitement.

Because they knew that this cornfield meant a steady supply of staple food.

Ah Cai, standing in the crowd, scratched her chin with her fingers and said thoughtfully:

"Actually, if we make potatoes into potato flour and then add it to other grains, we can also save a lot of food. The key is that it can also fill our stomachs."

Her words resonated with the people around her, and everyone nodded in agreement.
