Agriculture Idol

Chapter 31 Beam Raising Ceremony
Li Chengxin poured the chopped vegetable leaves into three breeding cages, and then decided to go home first.

"Sea urchins are still moving very slowly, and we won't see any results for a while. So we don't have to wait here. Let's go and see the next beam of our houseboat before we come again!"

Li Chengxin rowed the small sampan back to the shore, pointed at the concave shape structure on the first floor of his houseboat from a distance, and said: "When the boathouse is built, the small sampan from my third uncle's house I am using now will be fine." It is directly parked on the first floor of the houseboat. When the tide is high, this small sampan can even be rowed in and parked directly.”

With previous experience, the remaining half of the beams and girders on the first floor were built in half a day.

Brother Xiaoyong estimated the workload: "Tomorrow we should be able to start building the jambs and beams on the second floor. But now, let's go and see how the sea urchins are eating. I hope everything goes well!"

Li Chengxin started a fire at the earthen stove, and now Brother Xiaoyong and him are finally able to eat something after finishing their work.

The melon rind had obviously grown a lot, and the gray and shaggy breast hairs had also been replaced with shiny new ones.

It saw Brother Xiaoyong get on the small sampan by the sea, and jumped up together with Brother Xiaoyong, causing the audience in the live broadcast room to send a wave of barrage and small gifts.

Taking advantage of the afternoon sun, Brother Xiaoyong dived into the sea and took pictures of the scene inside the cage from outside the cage.

【Amazing! 】

[I'm really eating cabbage! 】

[This is too much fun to eat! 】

In the shot, almost all the sea urchins are holding cabbage cut into strips.Zooming in, you can even see the gray-white "teeth" of the sea urchin tightly holding the cabbage and sending it to the body, and even the thorns are a pleasant red.

"Sea urchins will extend tube feet similar to hands and feet, which are sucker-shaped tentacles at the end of the sea urchin. Each sea urchin has nearly 1400. Sea urchins will alternately use the tube feet of different parts of the body to send cabbage to the mouth."

Brother Xiaoyong also discussed a lot of knowledge about sea urchins with Li Chengxin recently, so I can briefly introduce a few words at this time.

By the way, the naughty appearance of the melon rind running around on the floating platform has gained a wave of praise.

The next day, when Li Chengxin was packing up all kinds of wood on his construction site, Huazi came driving a pickup truck with the logo of the courier company he worked for.

"Xin Wa'er, you have ordered so many cabbages! There are twenty boxes, can you finish them all?"

Hua Zi opened the back door of the pickup truck, and moved down the box of cabbage with the trademark "Ding Meiren".

Li Chengxin smiled and opened a box, which was full of damaged or yellow-spotted cabbage leaves: "This is not for people to eat, but for sea urchins."

"Ah! I see. My dad told me last time that the village wants to try raising sea urchins. So this is it. But can these rotten cabbages really fatten up sea urchins?"

"I'm not sure either, let's wait and see!"

Huazi helped Li Chengxin move a few unopened boxes to the temporary small warehouse, cut the three boxes of cabbage left outside into rectangular pieces, put them in large baskets and transported them to the floating platform, and then sprinkled the cabbage in the Sea urchin breeding cage, watching the cabbage gang spin slowly sinking into the sea.

From then on, Huazi, like everyone else in the village, would come over to help feed the sea urchins when he had time.Everyone is happy to see that sea urchins can really grow delicious sea urchin yellow after eating cabbage as expected.

The work of caring for sea urchins has entered the right track. Next, Li Chengxin does not need to do everything personally, but only needs to observe sea urchins every few days.Brother Xiaoyong dives into the sea from time to time to observe the condition of sea urchins from outside the breeding cage.

----------

Brother Xiaoyong and Li Chengxin moved the three-meter-long beam to the ceiling of the second floor of the boat house, carefully mortise and tenon joint, and beat it firmly.

The next step is to connect the left and right sides of the middle beam. After the middle beam is embedded, the basic skeleton of the houseboat is very stable.

In this way, the skeleton of the second floor was slowly set up, and the structure of the boathouse completely became a box shape.The emergence of more and more high-altitude operations has made Li Chengxin and netizens worried about potential safety risks.So Brother Xiaoyong tied two fishing nets under the ceiling on the second floor. In this way, even if they accidentally slipped and fell, the fishing nets could safely support them.

This is already the fourth month since Li Chengxin returned to his hometown. The hot sun in August is unavoidable, and even the cries of seagulls are dying.

The skeleton of the houseboat is only missing the last piece of wood, which is the purlin used to support the roof. The best piece of wood collected before will be placed on the load-bearing position of the roof.

"bring it on!"

Brother Xiaoyong gave an order, and Li Chengxin and him simultaneously swung a wooden hammer and knocked on a quarter point of the purlin to make it completely fit with the supporting wood below.

"The main skeleton of the houseboat is complete!"

Following Brother Xiaoyong's announcement, the live broadcast room was full of excitement.

【great! 】

[I also want to build a house by myself! 】

[The romance of a big boy! 】

【Spread flowers and spread flowers∠※】

"The next step is to lay the tiles on the roof..."

At this time, the old and helping faces in the village, big and small, started booing.

"Xiaoyong! Xinwa'er! You've done your job too, congratulations!"

"We are here to ask for red envelopes, you are not completely unprepared, are you?"

"This is an old custom. Only by doing it can your future work be safe and smooth!"

For this wave, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong have long been prepared.Early this morning, they asked the old grandmas to help steam the glutinous rice, put it in a stone mortar, and pound out fresh mochi.While it was still hot, I quickly broke the big ball of mochi into small pieces and rolled them into balls.Then use food coloring to dot the red dots, and wrap them in oiled paper one by one.

A few of them were also wrapped with a one-dollar coin. Of course, half of the coin was exposed when the bag was wrapped, so as not to be eaten by mistake.

Seeing that the villagers below had all come over to stand, Brother Xiao Yong helped Li Chengxin make a speech.

Li Chengxin did not hesitate: "My houseboat was able to be built smoothly from a piece of flat land to such a high place, thanks to everyone's help. In this moment worthy of celebration, please accept our thanks!"

After finishing speaking, he and Brother Xiaoyong began to throw the wrapped mochi into the crowd below.

[I saw a lot of familiar faces, and the villagers who helped build the house came. I envy the neighbors for such a good relationship! 】

【True Rice 23333】

【Is the kid who got stung by sea urchins okay? It's so cute to see him snatching a lot of dumplings from the crowd】

[Super touched! 】

[Attention everyone!There are 50 copies of mochi dumplings on their village online store, free shipping, everyone hurry up and grab the ducks! 】

After celebrating the ceremony with the villagers, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong interacted with netizens, sang songs for the corresponding number of people, and distributed red envelopes and some small lottery prizes to the fan group to celebrate the stage of the houseboat. Results.

Just about to close the live broadcast, Li Chengxin noticed a barrage.

[Brother Xiaoyong hasn't uploaded edited videos for almost a month, there are so many things that I can't even watch the replays!Ask for a video! 】

[I agree, I also want to edit some ghost and animal videos to help you promote, but I can't find the material. 】

Li Chengxin immediately threw this question to Brother Xiaoyong.

"Hey, I've been too busy lately. I just went to bed after finishing my work. I really don't have time to edit videos!" Brother Xiaoyong spread his hands.

After hearing Brother Xiaoyong's answer, Li Chengxin nodded in agreement.After returning to his hometown, his business spread more and more, bigger and bigger, and he became more and more busy.

Not only my own houseboat, but also the maintenance and feeding of sea urchin cages, plus occasionally going out to do a few live broadcasts of helping farmers near and far, and then I often have to go to the village committee office to help Lin Yiyi organize and pack. Order online, but also take care of melon skins, pick up litter on the beach, and take care of children playing at the beach in summer.

Not to mention that Xiaoyong himself still has a job to help people build houses with Uncle Jianwen and Uncle Jianwu.

"I always feel...we need help, but it's too hard to find!"

Hearing this reason, netizens also fell silent.

They watch the live broadcast for entertainment. Although some netizens often yell in the barrage that they envy their lives, they are actually strong talkers.

It's not that netizens don't know how hard it is for Xiaoyong and Li Chengxin to build a house. It's basically impossible to invite netizens to help.

"Let's end today's live broadcast first. We will find time to edit the latest video as soon as possible and upload it to the video website. Thank you for watching, and continue to support!"

In the evening, Li Chengxin said goodbye to Brother Xiaoyong, took a bath in the third uncle's yard, and fell into a bed that was not very soft.

There was the sound of crickets outside the window, and the faint light of a few fireflies drifted into the distance in the sea breeze.

Li Chengxin suddenly remembered that he had stored a "fanboy card" in the inventory of the system. It seemed that after using it, he could summon a fanboy. Isn't that a free manpower?

At first, Li Chengxin thought it was not a "fan girl card" so she kept it without using it. Although she didn't know how it would turn out, but when there was a shortage of manpower, how could she know if it would work without trying it? ! .

Li Chengxin opened the system's inventory, and now there is only one card left in the inventory.

[Midi Card: Using the Midi Card, you will get a loyal male fan with unique skills. 】

[Are you using it now? (Choose "No", the Midi card will be stored in the inventory)]

【whether】

Li Chengxin has always been suspicious of this "unique talent".

Adding an adjective of "stunt" to a man is really scary.If this "stunt" refers to red makeup, it would be too embarrassing!

But there is indeed a shortage of manpower now, so for the time being, Li Chengxin silently clicked "Yes".

Midika flew out of the system inventory, and turned into a silver spot in front of Li Chengxin's eyes, which soon dissipated.

one second...

two seconds...

three seconds...

Nothing happened.

In Li Chengxin's initial imagination, just like the time cards and adjustment cards he used before, the used cards should take effect immediately, so he was slightly disappointed.

He always thought that as long as he used the "Midi Card", he would conjure a living person out of thin air. Of course, the most ideal would be an invisible person like Conch Girl, or a summoned beast from another world like the summoned beasts written in many novels. A loyal servant of his kind.

But after waiting for a while, the card didn't respond. What's going on?
Li Chengxin didn't have time to think about it, and was dragged into sleep by his exhausted body.
