Chapter 1169 Land Of Blossom In Antarctica (2/2)

After having some contact with rich people, he felt funny when he thought of his former perspective. Once he acquired the two mines, he felt that he could now live a wealthy life and be content with his lot.

In fact, man is never satisfied with what he has. He must continue to work hard, make more money, achieve more.

Before coming to the Antarctic, Li Du thought that it was a zone of frozen desolation. Now he realized that life could be interesting and satisfying here too.

They had a good night in the VIP room.

When they woke up and were ready to freshen up, Elson saw them coming out and took them to a large insulated room next door where they could wash.

After they opened the door, a garden appeared before them.

They saw roses, jasmine blossoms, dahlias, and many other kinds of flowers blooming in tidy flower beds. A small lavender field spread around. A few footsteps away, they saw a small willow tree, a ginkgo, and dwarf cedar trees.

Steve was working in the garden. When he saw them come in he got up from his knees, wiped the sweat off his face and said, ”Good morning, both of you. How was your night?”

Li Du stared at everything around in awe, and then said, ”Very good. We are good.”

The greenhouse was even bigger, more than 500 square meters. Half of it was a pleasure garden and half was devoted to vegetable containers. There were cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, eggplants, celery, kale and so on, growing luxuriantly.

What surprised Li Du most was a small stream running through the place. The water was fresh and was used to irrigate the flowers and vegetables.

The wash-up station was at the head of the stream. There were stones piled into two sinks and some disposable toiletries.

”How did you do that? Where does the stream come from?” asked Li Du.

Steve said, ”From down there. There's a river under the ice sheet. When it is summer and the ice melts, the river will continue to flow. I installed a water circulatory system and the stream water flows in.”

”You really know how to enjoy life,” said Li Du.

Steve laughed. He waved his hand and said, ”I'm not doing this for enjoyment. I am doing this to filter the dirty water all at once. The water recycling system and the sewage system come together, and because the degradation of waste here in Antarctica is so poor, we have to use technology to minimize waste production.”

The two of them washed up, and Steve went on with his work, unearthing the vegetables and composting them.

Li Du wiped his face and asked, ”Did you also transport the soil from outside?”

”Where else could I get it from?” said Steve.

Li Du had to admire him. ”You have a fine life here. It is a real luxury home out here in the pristine nature.”

Steve laughed and said, ”Do you think I made this camp? No, I'm just the current owner. It took my parents twenty years to make it into what it is now.”

”That must have cost a lot of money,” said Li Du.

Steve said, ”What's money compared to what we do?”

Then he added sincerely, ”Li, don't let money control you. You have to control money, and never make it your goal to earn money, or there will be no fun in your life.”

Li Du said, ”What you say is very reasonable, but maybe you think so because you have too much money.”
