Start being a hermit today

Chapter 5 Weeding and Food

The summer sun is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be hot and stuffy at noon.

He Zhi stopped the hoe in his hand, wiped the sweat that was about to soak into the corners of his eyes with his arm, and looked up at the sky.

"It's almost time!"

In the city, the way to determine the time is generally to look at the mobile phone that never leaves the hand, but in the countryside, farmers go to the fields to check the time by looking at the sun, basically saying goodbye to smartphones, and few even wear watches.

Because working in the fields is a relatively hard job, and carrying a brick in your trouser pocket is useless except to get in the way.

Packing up the tools put aside, more than ready to go home.

Ever since he received the task of weeding, he had been thinking about where to start, and finally decided to start near his home and slowly extend outward, and then there was such a scene.

After breakfast, I couldn't wait to start a huge project. Because no one took care of it for a long time, the road was once cleaned, weeds grew waist-deep, and small trees even grew in many places.

Not only want to restore the original appearance of these trails, it is almost difficult to complete within a few months.

After repeatedly confirming that the reward was only a writing brush, he withdrew his good comments on the system in the morning.

After complaining, he still intends to do this task well. He can exercise and do something for the village. The reward is equivalent to another benefit. Thinking about it this way, Zhi Zhi's mentality suddenly improved.

There are only these old people left in the village. After cleaning up the weeds and treating the road surface, it will be more reassuring for them to travel. As for other tasks, he is not in a hurry.

"The so-called food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the tasks should be done one by one!"

However, although the mentality is optimistic, but...

"so tired!"

The whole morning of weeding, with his current physical strength, was basically exhausting. In addition, he also had a few blisters on his hands. The good thing was that the progress of his physical exercise had increased a little, to [-]%.

As for the weeding progress, it is quite gratifying, because the grandparents near the house still often deal with it, so he smoothly pushed out more than 500 meters along the canal behind the house, but the next part will be more difficult!
Smacking his lips, he just picked up the hoe and walked home. He didn't plan to come out in the afternoon, because he was really afraid of the sun.

Grandma Li Xue was a little surprised when she saw her grandson coming back with a hoe. Not only had he rarely done farm work since he was a child, but now he said he wanted to contribute to the village when he came back. She thought it was just a joke...

"came back?"

"Well, I'm so tired!"

"How's the weeding going?"

"Fortunately, it will probably take a month to clean up all the roads."

Not only did he put down the hoe, he went to fetch a bucket of well water and came back with a bucket. There is nothing better than washing his face with it right now.

Although there were a few blisters on the hand, it was slightly affected, and after touching the water, there was a slight tingling sensation, but it was only for a moment at the beginning, and then it was wrapped in the coolness of the well water, and it couldn't stop at all.

"Summer really should be playing with water!"

Immersed in the cool well water, I was finally interrupted by a scent. The corn that was picked up in the morning was boiled by grandma, and a unique fragrance emanated from the kitchen.

"Wait, it's not all cooked, is it?"

Not only did I remember that I forgot to tell my grandma to keep the two slightly older ones, and I was going to burn corn. Although there are still a lot of fields, I asked him to go again this time, and said clearly:

"impossible!"

Looking at the two bracts left on the chopping board, he was more than relieved. It seemed that grandma really understood herself.

Seeing He Zhi running in, grandma thought he came in by smell.

"Wait a minute, it will be picked up soon."

"Yeah, you guys eat first."

As he said that, he walked over and picked up the remaining two, sat down in front of the stove, and put the corn under the stove.

Although boiled corn is delicious, how can it be compared to burnt corn?Not even a mission...

He is still looking forward to the mission rewards. So far, the system has not disappointed him. Although there are not many missions, they are all in line with his wishes.

Seeing the Baogu gradually changing color, He Zhi took the boiled Baogu from his grandma and took a big bite. The sweet and glutinous texture instantly exploded in his mouth. Even he, who didn't like it very much, was a little surprised.

"Well, grandma, this year's corn is pretty good!"

Grandma smiled and said, "This is the variety your grandpa specially bought back. He said it tastes good. I just tried to grow some this year."

In the past, the rural area was all about production, mainly to sell grain. In recent years, because of the improvement of living standards and the fact that there are not many crops, they are all kept for their own food. Instead, they have begun to pay attention to the taste.

After a few clicks to finish the boiled corn, let’s not only start to deal with our own roasted corn seriously, the roasting time must be just right, otherwise it will either not be cooked through, or it will be too dry.

"It's now!"

He quickly took out the corn with tongs, then put it on the open flame and quickly roasted it. After a few seconds, the roasted corn was completed. Once it was pierced with a wooden stick, he could eat it all afternoon!

I gave one to my impatient younger sister who had been waiting for me for a long time.

"Is it fragrant?"

Seeing his sister eating with gusto, He Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"fragrant!"

The younger sister cooperatively raised Shaobaogu on the phone, and responded loudly to her brother.

He picked up the remaining one by himself, patted the ash on it with his hand, and ate it one by one.

In addition to satisfying the appetite, in fact, this is also a thought. When I was young, I didn’t have too many snacks. Such a piece of corn is the best snack. This is the taste of childhood memories.

"Ding!"

"Mission: A Taste in Memory (Completed)"

"Mission Reward: "The Taste of Memory""

I have long wondered what this reward is, and I can't wait to check the mission rewards.

"The Taste of Memory: Memory has a magical power that fascinates you, sometimes you don't want to recall it, but you can't avoid it forever!
A book made by an unknown existence automatically records the flavors of many memories! "

"It turned out to be a book!"

He looked around, but didn't find any books.

"Did you get tricked by the system?"

As soon as he had such doubts, he found that something similar to a light screen suddenly appeared in front of him. After a short operation, he found that it was the system.

Although I received tasks before, they all appeared directly in my mind. For the sudden appearance of the light screen, I would more than accept it happily. This would be more convenient.

The above directly shows his physical data:
"Name: He Zhi
Sex: Male
Age: 22 years old

Stamina: 8 (10)

Spirit: 10 (10)

Charisma: 4 (+5)

Skill: Burnt Valley Mastery

Item: "The Taste of Memory"

Task:………"

Looking at my information, I am more than a little speechless, my charm is only four points, no wonder I have been single for 22 years, what does the five points in the brackets mean?Skills only know what the hell is Shaobaogu Mastery?

After complaining for a while, he didn't figure out his attributes, but he figured out the rewards this time. "The Taste of Memory" recorded the detailed explanations of the production methods of all the delicacies he had eaten in the past 22 years!

It can be said to be a magical book. He regretted that he ate too little...
