Over the past month, Warren had fallen into a steady rhythm, slipping in and out of the pocket dimension to harvest vegetables and fruit. Every day or two, he'd scatter fresh seeds across the farmland, keeping the cycle going.His system points had been accumulating steadily, though he hadn't found much worth redeeming yet. The counter showed 199 points, close enough that he turned back to the fields and began another round of harvesting.Might as well hit 200, he thought. That would be enough to unlock a decent crop.An hour of work later, Warren watched the point total climb with quiet satisfaction. Then, without warning, the system chimed.The system chimed and displayed the following message: "Congratulations, Host. You have reached the Tier 1 point requirement. Task module unlocked.""First Task: Fill the current pocket dimension to capacity within fifteen days.""Task Reward: Pocket dimension expanded by 100%. Exchange catalog upgraded to Tier 2."

"My son's an oddball. He'll eat chicken, duck, fish, all the meat you can think of, but he won't touch vegetables. He is always getting overheated because of it."Warren, a father himself, shared a few tricks in a low voice. "Except on holidays, my daughter absolutely can't have any drinks with her meals. The food's dry, then she gets a bowl of soup. When she's thirsty, she drinks it on her own. That way she ends up eating a fair amount of vegeta

After seeing off the delivery truck, Warren headed back to the house with Frank and his son in tow.Inside, the family had been chatting together when Warren walked in with guests. A flicker of surprise crossed their faces.With a smile, Warren introduced him. "This is Frank, from Whitaker Lodge."Recognition dawned, and everyone quickly made room.Molly stepped over to the table and poured Frank a cup of tea. The leaves were ones Warren had bought before the new year, and the water came from the Healing Spring. Together, they produced a fragrance that filled the room.For Frank's younger son, Molly retrieved a bottle of soda from the cupboard.Daisy peeked out from behind Molly, half her body hidden, her wide eyes blinking curiously at the strangers.Frank chuckled, his gaze settling on Daisy. He had met Molly and her daughter once before, back when deliveries to Whitaker Lodge had just started. Daisy had been cute even then, but thin and a little

Warren knew the Hale family would be staying for lunch after their New Year's visit, so he headed straight into the kitchen to start preparing the meal.After several days of rice and steamed buns, he was ready for something different. He dropped ground pork into the hot wok, letting the fat render and crisp. A handful of scallions went in next, filling the air with their sharp fragrance, then he splashed cooking wine around the sides of the pan. Once the alcohol burned off, Warren poured in sweet bean paste and stirred until the mixture darkened and thickened. Just before finishing, he added a splash of water to bring the zhajiang sauce together into a glossy, savory glaze.With the meat sauce done, he turned his attention to the toppings. He sliced scallions and cucumbers into fine julienne, then cut carrots into matchsticks and blanched them briefly before draining. Beyond the usual noodle garnishes, he prepared a handful of cold side dishes: radish slices tossed with c

Everyone had put on a little weight over the holiday. The house still had more food than they could finish.On the third day of the New Year, Warren drove alone toward the county seat. The cargo bed of his truck was packed with produce he'd harvested over the past few days, and the newly built warehouse at the Pendleton family homestead was stacked full as well.Originally, the Pendleton property had two building lots. One now held the new house built for Warren, and the other was where Mabel used to live. Now that everyone lived together under one roof, Mabel's old place sat empty. Since it was close to both the farmland and the road, Warren had converted it into a warehouse without a second thought.The new warehouse was far larger than the one they rented in the county seat. By volume alone, it could hold five or six times as much.During the holiday, whenever Warren had a moment to himself, he'd slip over to the old homestead and pull various crops out of his

Unfortunately, with her frail health, Molly hadn't been able to help much around the house. Now that there was finally something small she could manage, like tending to the flowers and plants, Molly wasn't about to let the opportunity slip away.She let out a relieved breath and continued watching the stove, making sure the fire stayed steady.A moment later, she got to her feet and made her way toward the main room.The three elders chatted and laughed together, yet their hands never slowed. Each of them cradled a bowl of filling in their lap, with an array of colored dough wrappers spread out before them. They took turns rolling out the wrappers and folding dumplings, their rhythm practiced and smooth. In no time at all, they'd assembled an entire platter.Molly carried the finished dumplings outside on a woven bamboo tray, covered them with a sheet of plastic wrap, and set the tray on top of the water tank in the courtyard. With so many dishes planned for toni
