A Rough Man Has A Handsome Husband (BL) - Chapter 10

Tang Xiaofu closed the dialog box and opened the shop menu. Most of the categories were locked.

Only seeds, fertilizer, and land were available for purchase.

But he could see locked sections for poultry, river fish, and seafood.

He wondered if the warehouse could store things from the real world.

He decided to test it. Looking around, he tapped his pillow.

Whoosh! The pillow disappeared.

He quickly checked his warehouse.

[Old Buckwheat Pillow ×1, Exchangeable for 0.02 gold coins]

Seriously? 0.02 gold coins?

This space was way too stingy!

Wait… Does this mean real-world objects can be exchanged for gold coins?!

Tang Xiaofu experimented with several items. Handmade objects—the more intricate, the higher the value.

Plant seeds—the rarer, the more valuable.

However, silver was a terrible exchange rate—ten taels of silver for just one gold coin.

In farming simulation games, higher levels unlock a user trading system.

Does this space have the same function?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. His fingers trembled with anticipation.

But first, buy more land, plant more crops, and earn more gold coins!

Tang Xiaofu eagerly tapped on the land purchase option.

[Yellow Land – 5,000 gold per plot]

Effect: Crop growth time reduced by 10%, slight chance of obtaining a special seed.

[Red Land – 10,000 gold per plot]

Effect: Crop growth time reduced by 20%, chance of obtaining a special seed.

[Black Land – 20,000 gold per plot]

Effect: Crop growth time reduced by 50%, higher chance of obtaining a special seed.

[Divine Land – Locked]

Tang Xiaofu stared at the long string of zeroes and swallowed hard.

For now, he only had four basic yellow plots. But seeing the mention of special seeds made him curious.

Checking his balance, he bought four radish seeds and planted them with a thought.

Yesterday’s radish and lamb soup had sparked an idea in his mind.

If you have a treasure, you need to find a way to turn it into money.

No matter the era, having silver in your pocket gives you confidence.

He took a few sips of the spiritual spring water, and his pale skin instantly gained a healthier glow.

Thinking of his family, Tang Xiaofu poured half a bowl of the water, mixed it with regular boiled water, and carried it outside.

It was May in Dongzhou, and the morning sun was already scorching.

Li had changed into a brown short-sleeved work outfit and was cooking in the kitchen, her temples damp with sweat from the fire.

Wang Yi had complained of a stomachache earlier and was resting in the house.

In this world, brothers were responsible for managing the household and raising children, but they were physically stronger than women and not as delicate.

They had more freedom than ancient women—they could do business, learn crafts, or even register as independent household heads.

Tang Xiaofu stood by the stove and held out the bowl.

“Mom, it’s hot. Have some water.”

Li smiled and took the bowl, drinking it all in one go.

“Oh my, my Xiaofu is so thoughtful! This water is sweet and refreshing. It cools the whole body and makes me feel energized.”

Of course, spiritual spring water tasted sweet!

Tang Xiaofu grinned. “Take a break, I’ll tend the fire.”

He immediately squatted by the stove and started adding firewood.

Li waved her hands in protest. “No, no! You just recovered. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Tang Xiaofu placed the empty bowl on the stove and chuckled.

“This little task won’t tire me out. Besides, I haven’t chatted with you in a while—I missed you.”

Li loved Xiaofu the most. When he acted sweet, she couldn’t stop praising him.

As they talked, Tang Xiaofu subtly gathered gossip about the village, especially about the brothers who were close to the original owner.

After all, gossip is the best way to bring people closer.

By the end of breakfast, he and Li felt even closer, and he had also gathered information about recent village events.

Afterward, he helped with boiling pig feed, feeding the chickens, and watering the vegetable garden.

By the time the three brothers who stayed home sat down for breakfast, the sun was already high in the sky.

Wang Yi glanced at the egg custard in front of Tang Xiaofu and pouted unhappily.
