Chapter 78: Shopping for Brand HN and Mountain orchard

Bai Yi Yang then continue with what she has been planning, that is to buy bedroom necessities such as mattresses, pillows, bolsters, mattress protectors, blankets and bedspreads. She already have a shop in mind, Brand HN, they are famous for selling the best bedroom products. Their brand is similar to Brand P popularity, its just that their specialty is different.

Bai Yi Yang open their website and start choosing. She start with the mattresses. She is a simple person, she didn't look at the price, she only choose best on the best review and reading about the description. She ended up choosing a mattress that is 11 inches thick, 4 queen size that cost 4667 yuan each on discount,1 super single bed at 3552 yuan, 1 single bed at 2956 yuan, 3 foldable single size mattress each at 566 yuan each.

Next, she choose 4 queen mattress protector at 499 yuan each, 1 super single mattress protector at 479 yuan and 4 single mattress protector at 415 yuan each. Then, 13 pillows at 91 yuan each and 5 bolsters at 120 yuan each.

Lastly, is the most complicated part, that is choosing bedspreads and blankets. Since she have a theme for each room, she need to consider the colour too. But she was reluctant, this is a bit tricky, she need to match the colour too with other purchases. Should she just wait when she purchase all of it in one time?

She actually wanted to buy rugs and customised cushion for the sofa but for this service, she need to call people to come and let them measure and make it accordingly. It was the same with curtains.

Without waiting, she send a chat and make an appointment. Since it is late, it is understandable that they may not reply now, so Bai Yi Yang just went to check out. The total of her purchase was 32,792 yuan. The delivery fee is 0 since her purchase is a lot and she has a membership.

Well, as expected of purchasing them in bulk. This is actually just okay for this brand. Immediately after she confirmed her payments, she received a reply from the same number

'Dear valuable customer, you are just upgraded to VVIP membership. I am Anne from Brand HN customer service, we saw that you request for an appointment for interior design. Our agent from City N will come and meet you on Saturday, 10 am. Is that okay with you?' The text said so.

'Yes, it is fine with me.' She reply.

'Thank you for buying from our brand, see you!'

Bai Yi Yang turn off her phone and noticed that her younger siblings is already sleepy. She quickly told them to enter the room, including Xiao Mo since she will be going out with Bai Yi Chen tomorrow.

Bai Yi Yang also get ready to go to bed. The rain has stopped a while ago, it was just a short 2 hours rain, still, it was a bit cold now. After saying goodnight to Bai Yi Chen, she also enter the bedroom to sleep.

Bai Yi Yang wake up the next morning at 6 am, she quickly wash up and enter the kitchen. She steamed the remaining stuffed bitter gourd and quickly make a fried noodle.

When Bai Yi Chen woke up, they immediately had their breakfast, so does TongTong who was woken up by the notification, sometimes the system itself forgot that it is a system now.

Bai Yi Chen was a bit amazed with the new way of cooking, the new type of cooking noodle that is uncommon here. But they are delicious, so he also gobbled up his food. After that both of them just leave the dish in the sink and rush out.

They still bring big baskets with them but Bai Yi Yang in front will be opening a new road, so Bai Yi Chen hold onto the third big basket. They also use a different way this time, at the direction of their farm instead of the jungle in opposite of their Main gate that they usually go.

Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Chen chat along the way. Bai Yi Yang already activated her GPS and now they are taking the road that has been cleared before, there are no big trees along the way, just tall bushes.

"Ge, I think someone must have made this way before. See, this road is cleared of big trees, only tall bushes. If we wanted to make a road, we can just use this." Bai Yi Yang who is cutting bushes in front with a sharp machete said.

"I think so too. This is too orderly, someone must have made a road here before." Bai Yi Chen agree.

"Ge, do you think there is more to this mountain that we haven't see. I am glad that we explore this new area, if not we wouldn't know that someone had ever go up to the top before." Bai Yi Yang said.

"En." Bai Yi Chen nod.

The journey up was a bit difficult, after walking and clearing up the way for more than 1 hour, Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Chen look at each other.

"What is this sweet smelling things?" Bai Yi Yang ask. Seems like TongTong is really right, there must be an orchard here.

"Most probably wild fruits." Bai Yi Chen said, but he actually have his suspicions. The road that they clean really look like man made.

"I want to see it. Ge, faster." Bai Yi Yang is excited, she increase her cleaning speed and finally they arrive at an area where rows of rows of various fruit trees are planted.

"Woahhhh!!" Bai Yi Yang exclaimed. Bai Yi Chen cannot help but feeling excited too.

"Ge, its and orchard." She said. She walk forward and look carefully. There are at least 10 types of trees that she can see from here. They are not as bad as she thought, there are weeds climbing on the trees and the bushes are only at waist level. This is easy to clean. What important is that the trees is all grown, they are at least 5 years and can bear fruit.

Take the rambutan fruits for example, they started to change colour to red now. Bai Yi Yang feels like they hit a jackpot. Who says that this mountain is useless, just look at these treasure.

"Yang Yang, this orchard is so big, I can see it until end there. I think it's covered the whole flat area in the top of mountain." Bai Yi Chen said.

"Yeah, I think so too. Ge, let's look around and see what fruit trees are there." Bai Yi Yang leave the basket behind her and just bring the machete to clean the place they are going to walk.

The fruits trees are planted in rows, one type in one or two rows. This orchard is really big, it is at least 5 acres like what TongTong said. Both of them go over the rows one by one, Bai Yi Yang is a level 2 farming expert, of course she can recognise all these tropical fruits such as rambutan, mango, mangosteen, longan, durian, custard apple, banana, jackfruit, rose apple, persimmon, star fruit or carambola, guava, papaya, kiwi, pineapple, lychee, fig, coconut and snakeskin fruit.

"So many type.." Bai Yi Yang said. There are some who is not bearing fruits, most of it has ripe fruits or small fruits.

"YangYang, what do you think we must do?" Bai Yi Chen said. He really never thought that they will met with this good things.

"Hurm.." Bai Yi Yang thought.

"I don't think we can clean all of these by ourselves, ge, what do you say if we ask Head village Li to find people who is free and work on this orchard? We pay salary to them. Other than that, since we already decided to take care of it, then we also need to make a road here." Bai Yi Yang said.

"I agree with you. Let's do that, later I will go to the village and meet Head Village Li and also ask him about the rent if we wanted to build a road." He said.

"Alright, ge you do that." Bai Yi Yang said.

Since they are here and some fruits are ripe, Bai Yi Yang pick some that can be reached and put it in their basket.

Only after that they seriously went to search for mushrooms. This place is new unexplored area, so there are colonies of mushrooms and they easily filled their basket. However, since they did a lot of things, they only return when it is 10.30 in the morning. They picked a lot of mushrooms but still it is less than usual because they are rushing.

Bai Yi Chen take over the drying work and Bai Yi Yang went to take a bath. The two children isn't home and Bai Yi Ling is revising. Bai Yi Yang then told her to go wash the fruits in the kitchen which she immediately complied.

After taking a bath, Bai Yi Yang check the Main house door and it is completely dry, she then immediately go to install the door in no time. The system was dumbfounded, the host did a work, but it didn't even take 30 minutes, how is it going to calculate? It ended up giving just 1 point.

After that Bai Yi Yang head to the kitchen to cook, today she is going to bake the baby back ribs in the oven, it takes 1 hour at a high temperature of 400 degree Fahrenheit, or 2 hours at 350 degree Fahrenheit. She is going to choose the shorter time of course.

First, she remove the white membrane of the ribs so that the seasoning can seep into the meat. Next, she make a spice mixture and rub it onto the ribs rack, then layer it with barbecue sauce before wrapping it with aluminium foil. Then she pop-it into the preheated oven. After 30 minutes she will add another layer of barbecue sauce on it.

Next, she make a canned corn, egg and crab meat soup, then, cut up bok choy and some dried shiitake mushrooms and stir fry them. The two dishes is done but the ribs still has more than 20 minutes to cook.

Bai Yi Yang simply sat with Bai Yi Ling in the kitchen and have a chat. Bai Yi Chen also came in after taking a bath.

"Where did you get this jie?" Bai Yi Ling who is eating a papaya slice ask. She have eaten papaya before, but it was long time ago. It was Bai Yi Yang who peel off the skin and cut it into bite sizes because she doesn't know how to handle it.

"On top of the mountain. Who knows that there is an orchard there, when we made a road, we will bring all of you there." Bai Yi Yang said.

"For real?" Bai Yi Ling ask.

"En, it's very big. At least 5 acres, it is not all flat land, there is also some that is planted on low slope." Bai Yi Yang explain.

"Jie, how big is a 5 acres?" Bai Yi Ling ask.

"Hurm..about 4 football fields combine." Bai Yi Yang said.

"So big. Can we work on that by ourselves?" Bai Yi Ling was shocked.

"No, that's why we need to hire people to clean it up." Bai Yi Yang said. Bai Yi Ling nod in understanding.

After chatting for a while, the oven make a 'Ding!' sound. Bai Yi Yang then take it out and check the doneness. After making sure that it is done, she set it aside. Setting it aside is important so that the juice will be retained inside.

So when they two little monkeys return from playing in the village, they immediately rush to the kitchen after smelling the delicious smell.

"So fragrant! Jie, I am hungry." Bai Yi Mo said as he pulled Bai Yi Fang who is too distracted to wash her hands.

Bai Yi Ling then went to scoop out the rice then prepared a portion for TongTong who is already waiting at it's spot.

'Baked ribs..looks delicious ohh!!' TongTong eyed Bai Yi Yang who is cutting the ribs. Bai Yi Yang then put two ribs on its plate, then Bai Yi Ling went to add vegetables and also a small bowl of soup.

"A bit hot.." Bai Yi Ling remind it when she put down the plate.

'I don't care, I don't care..' It replied Bai Yi Ling.

Bai Yi Yang laugh when she heard this. After that, the siblings also have their lunch.

"So delicious!" Bai Yi Fang bite onto a soft rib.

"Delicious, delicious.." Bai Yi Mo also nod and didn't stop eating.

The other including Bai Yi Yang nod in agreement. They were all silent and before they finished their rice, the ribs was gone. They can only finish up their rice with vegetables and soup now.

Bai Yi Yang really think that one rack of rib is not enough. Well, actually it wasn't small amount, it was 1 kg of baby back ribs. They still have one baby back ribs rack and two kilo of spare ribs, she will make more in the future. This also becomes one of her favourite dishes.
