Chapter 517 Openly repairing the plank road while secretly advancing the Chencang pass
Upon returning home, Li Qin didn't go to the kitchen to cook; instead, he took out some ready-made food from his storage ring.
As long as the food doesn't lose its warmth, Li Qin isn't worried about attracting attention.
Even if someone asks, Li Qin can say that he ate the leftovers from last night's meal.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qin went to the suitcase space first.
After a night of continuous work, the kitchen, under the blessing of the magic spell, had prepared all the dishes that Li Qin had ordered last night.
Because of the curse, even after a night, the food still looked as fresh as if it had just come out of the pot.
"This should be able to sustain things for a long time."
Looking at the mountain of food, a look of satisfaction flashed across Li Qin's face.
He then stored all the food prepared in the kitchen into his storage ring.
Then he returned to his home in the courtyard house.
After arranging everything at home, Li Qin pushed his bicycle and headed out.
When Li Qin passed by the Central Courtyard, he found that the snow there had also been mostly cleared.
The same applies to the front yard.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Qin rode his bicycle towards the steel rolling mill.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather has been pretty good these past few days; it hasn't snowed anymore, and the snow on the roads has mostly melted by now.
For the past few days, Li Qin has been diligently going to work at the steel rolling mill every day and attending night school in the evenings.
In the middle of the night, he would occasionally go to Hong Kong to handle some matters.
Li Qin went to the steel rolling mill early that day.
However, he wasn't going to work; he planned to report his trip to the countryside for purchasing supplies.
However, these are just excuses. In reality, the shops in Hong Kong have been under renovation for nearly a month and are now almost complete.
Li Qin needs to go and inspect the goods today.
As for the remaining house renovations, they are already more than halfway done.
It should take another four or five days or so to get everything done.
Then all the shops will be able to start doing business.
Li Qin went there this time to make some preparations.
"Li Qin, you're here really early today."
Seeing Li Qin walk in from outside, Sister Xia looked surprised and said.
Li Qin didn't mind the other person's teasing and smiled, saying, "The weather is getting a little better, so I'm here to register and report. I plan to go to the countryside in the next few days to see if I can buy some things."
Li Qin had difficulty applying for the job a few days ago because of the snow.
Because it would be dangerous to go to the countryside when it snows, the purchasing department leaders were reluctant to let employees go to the countryside at this time.
Of course, if you're already in the countryside, there's nothing you can do if it snows.
However, if the snow is too heavy, purchasing agents usually choose to stay at the homes of villagers in the countryside for a while.
The purchasing staff also knew that although the purchasing task was important, it was not as important as their lives.
Now that the snow has almost melted away, the leaders naturally won't object to my application to go to the countryside.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Chang Xia immediately began registering Li Qin's information.
After completing the task, he took out a stamped rural procurement certificate and gave it to Li Qin.
Generally, the certificate for going to the countryside needs to be obtained from the group leader, but if the group leader is not present, it will be given to Chang Xia.
But today, our team leader, Wang Dawei, just happened to be away.
Li Qin didn't ask any further questions about Wang Dawei's matter. He simply took the certificate, chatted with Chang Xia for a few more minutes, and then turned and left the purchasing department.
Before leaving the steel rolling mill, Li Qin told his uncle Li Huaide about his plan to go to the countryside.
Li Huaide did not object to this matter, but reminded Li Qin to pay attention to safety and not to forget to pick up a pistol for self-defense before going to the countryside.
Although Li Qin felt there was no need for a pistol, after all, in case of an accident, a spell would be far more useful than a pistol.
However, he did not refuse Li Huaide's kindness.
After leaving Li Huaide's office, he went to the equipment department and got a gun and five bullets.
He then rode his bicycle away from the steel mill.
Because he had already taken care of the fireplace, stove, and other appliances when he left home in the morning, he didn't need to return to the courtyard house.
Li Qin found a secluded corner and used the door key to teleport to Hong Kong.
The first things that sensed Li Qin's arrival were, of course, his two pets, with whom he had a mysterious connection.
Two white figures suddenly darted out of the room.
As time went by, the two pets grew up and their physical condition improved.
The most obvious change is the significant increase in both strength and speed.
Li Qin had a feeling that once the two pets reached maturity, they would be able to easily crush even fierce beasts like tigers and leopards.
Although Li Qin never expected that the two pets would provide him with much combat power.
It's always a good thing to become stronger.
At least when they're outside, Li Qin doesn't have to worry about his pet being bullied.
"Okay, I'll be in Hong Kong for the next few days."
After gently calming the two excited pets with his hands, Li Qin then smiled and said to them.
Hearing Li Qin's words, the two pets wagged their tails even more enthusiastically.
This reveals the joy in his heart.
"I went to the steel rolling mill to report this morning, and I haven't even had time to eat yet. I'll go prepare some food first and then play with you guys."
Li Qin gently patted the heads of the two pets.
The two pets were very well-behaved and immediately made way for each other.
Li Qin came to the kitchen and waved to him.
He had already put his magic to use.
Next, we finalized the menu.
Since it was already late and lunchtime was approaching, Li Qin didn't order much for breakfast.
I simply ordered some classic Hong Kong breakfast items:
Shrimp dumplings, char siu buns, egg tarts, steamed siu mai, rice noodle rolls, pineapple buns, congee, wonton noodles, fried eggs...
Finally, I treated myself to a cup of coffee.
This coffee is vastly different from ordinary coffee; it's top-quality coffee.
It was Li Qin who searched many places in Hong Kong before finding it.
The price is far more expensive than most people can imagine.
"I have to say, there's a real reason why this coffee is expensive."
Li Qin smelled the freshly brewed coffee in his hand, and a rich aroma of cocoa immediately filled his nostrils.
Li Qin took a small sip, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Since the space inside the pagoda is large enough, perhaps we should take some time to transplant some coffee trees inside, so that we won't have to run around to buy coffee in the future."
Although Li Qin prefers tea to coffee, he thinks it's quite nice to drink coffee occasionally.
However, coffee and tea are somewhat similar; to make the best coffee, coffee trees alone are not enough.
A corresponding process is also required.
Fortunately, Li Qin could learn from others through certain means.
If you have the raw materials and the craftsmanship, then you will naturally have no shortage of top-quality coffee.
As Li Qin sipped his coffee, he secretly made a mental note of the matter.
They even formulated a preliminary plan.
As for turning it into action, that will take some time.
He needs to make some preparations.
For example, researching in advance where the best coffee is found and where the craftsmanship is most exquisite.
