I have a portable farm

Liu Fengying, Guan Bingtong, and Du Mengnan, who have been at home these days, heard that Zhao Xinyu was making bamboo tube rice dumplings again, and the three of them became interested.

You must know that since the introduction of bamboo tube rice dumplings in Wuyou Restaurant, because of the low price, bamboo tube rice dumplings have become a must-order delicacy for diners at Wuyou Restaurant.

After the popularity of bamboo tube rice dumplings at Wuyou Restaurant, many places followed Wuyou Restaurant and introduced bamboo tube rice dumplings, but the taste was simply not comparable to Wuyou Restaurant.

Du Mengnan and the others were bored these days. When they heard that Zhao Xinyu was going to make bamboo rice dumplings, the three of them immediately went to the kitchen to see how the unforgettable bamboo rice dumplings were made.

Entering the kitchen, Du Mengnan tiptoed towards Zhao Xinyu who was busy, but after taking two steps out, the three of them were shocked at the same time. Their eyes fell on a large basin, their eyes full of horror.

In the big basin is the rice soaked by Zhao Xinyu. The rice is originally translucent, but the processed rice is as clear as crystal. When soaked in water, it becomes even more transparent and crystal clear, which is really beautiful.

Looking at the rice in the water, the three of them looked at each other. Liu Fengying and Guan Bingtong might not know much about rice, but Du Mengnan managed a five-star hotel. She has seen all kinds of rice.

But Du Mengnan has never seen this kind of rice that looks like crystal.

"Stone, what kind of rice is this?"

"Jidao", Zhao Xinyu chuckled.

The three of them looked at each other, but they all saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes. Obviously, none of them had heard of this name.

"Could this be brought back from the mountains?"

"Definitely not. The grains of wild rice are very small and the color is yellowish. Look, the grains of this millet rice are three times larger than the best rice at present," Liu Fengying said with a smile.

Suddenly Liu Fengying thought of something, "By the way, I saw a report a few days ago, saying that a new type of rice was cultivated in the Northeast, called crystal rice. Not to mention the size of the rice grains, it is like crystal." .

Du Mengnan shook his head, "It's not crystal rice. I've seen crystal rice. It's bigger than ordinary rice. Although it has a good name, it's not transparent at all. You see, this rice is completely transparent."

While talking, Du Mengnan reached out and fished out a handful of rice from the water, and picked up a grain of rice. When the sun shined on it, the rice was almost transparent, and there was a trace of jade-like halo inside. Moreover, there is also a vague aroma of rice, which is impossible to appear in ordinary rice.

"Stone, to be honest, this rice is really made from Cailiang Mountain."

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "This kind of rice is an ancient rice. It first appeared in the era of Emperors Yan and Huang. However, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it didn't appear for some reason. This time I went into the mountains. Occasionally I saw millet rice in a mountain stream, so I made a lot of it. I will try it today and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, we will plant more next year."

While the four of them were chatting, a strong fragrance came in from the outside. Du Mengnan took a deep breath and said, "Shitou, what's going on with your bamboo tube? Do you know that people who eat rice dumplings now can even pack the bamboo tube? The Buhu people even welded bamboo tubes together to make a tea cup. They said that there is no need to put tea in a bamboo tube to make a tea cup. Just pour some boiling water and it will taste delicious."

Zhao Xinyu smiled lightly, "The bamboo tube is made from more than a dozen kinds of herbs. These herbs are all valuable and they are all wild. Although they do not have the effect of tea, they also have other functions. They are also good for making tea cups."

"Do you have a recipe?"

"Yes, how come there isn't? Grandpa spent a long time researching this recipe before he came up with it."

Du Mengnan curled his lips and said, "I thought it was you who developed it. It turns out it was grandpa who developed it."

Zhao Xinyu laughed loudly and said, "Go and see how the bamboo tube is doing."

Before the bamboo tube rice dumplings were even out of the pot, the fragrance of the bamboo tube rice dumplings attracted a group of old men to come over. They all took a deep breath of the fragrance that filled the air and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xinyu, why do I feel that these bamboo rice dumplings are more fragrant than last time?"

"Grandpa, it must be more fragrant than last time. This time I changed to a different kind of rice. This kind of rice is not available in the market."

Du Gang was stunned for a moment and curled his lips, "You think this is the Loess Plateau. The southern region mainly produces rice. There is no rice available. You little girl, don't be fooled by that kid."

Du Mengnan blushed and said, "You'll find out later."

When Zhao Xinyu came in with a large basin of bamboo tube rice dumplings, Du Mengnan was the first to reach out, took a bamboo tube rice dumpling and knocked it gently on the table, and then handed the rice dumpling to his grandfather Du Gang.

The old man laughed, took the rice dumpling, and when he opened it, Du Gang was shocked. He saw the rice grains in the bamboo tube separated like crystals. Through the grains of rice, he could see the grains buried under the rice. Jinhuang".

Du Gang raised the rice dumplings and let Guan Zhentian, Meng Lie, and Luo Xiao take a look, "Don't tell me, this rice is really strange. This is the first time I have seen such rice."

While talking, Du Gang took a bite directly. In addition to the strong aroma of rice dumplings, there was also a strange rice aroma. Although this rice aroma was light, it was not overshadowed by the strong rice dumpling aroma. Cover it up.

The rice is chewy and chewy in the mouth. Mixed with the aroma of rice dumplings, the rice has an indescribable aroma.

"It's delicious. The rice dumplings made from this rice taste better. I will use this rice in the future."

At this point, Du Gang suddenly listened and saw his granddaughter Du Mengnan's mysterious smile, "Little girl, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Du Mengnan chuckled and said, "Grandpa, you are right, but the rice has not been planted yet. If you want to eat it, wait until next year."

"This rice?" Du Gang's fingers trembled and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu chuckled and said, "Grandpa, feel free to eat. There are a lot of them in the mountains. I can just find some time to pick some more."

"What kind of rice is this? Why does it taste so good?" Luo Xiao also spoke at this time.

"Grandpa Luo, this is Ji Dao, an ancient rice. It is said that it was discovered and cultivated by Emperor Yan. It has been extinct for more than two thousand years. I happened to encounter it this time when I went into the mountains."

Zhao Xinyu's words made Luo Xiao's wrist tremble. He almost didn't throw away the bamboo rice dumpling in his hand. He lowered his head to look at the crystal-like rice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although this meal of bamboo tube rice dumplings tastes better than the previous bamboo tube rice dumplings, what everyone eats is rice that has been missing for more than two thousand years. Who would believe it?

"Xinyu, do you plan to plant this kind of rice next year?" Luo Xiao looked at Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "Grandpa Luo, purple wheat and rice are species that existed thousands of years ago. Now that I have discovered them, I cannot let them become extinct again in my hands."

"Can it be promoted?"

Zhao Xinyu smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Luo, it's not easy. In the past, there was no pollution. Purple wheat and rice were almost extinct. Now there are pollution sources everywhere. It is extremely difficult to promote it on a large scale, but it can be done." Try it in a mountainous area that is not polluted.”

"Could it be that Jidai is the same as purple wheat in that it can strengthen the body?"

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "Indeed, each ancient species has a special function. The rice we plant now is all derived from millet rice. However, although the yield of rice is getting higher and higher, there are many hidden secrets. But the effect also disappeared.”

"Okay, okay, plant more next year and give it to our old brothers, so that they can taste this delicious thing in their lifetime."

Zhao Xinyu's heart moved slightly. He could hear a different flavor in Luo Xiao's words. Grandpa, Luo Xiao, Du Gang, and Guan Zhentian were all nearly a hundred years old, which was already a long life for ordinary people.

Most of them have experienced that catastrophe, and the kind of love between them cannot be felt by ordinary people. The departure of each of them is a life-or-death farewell for the others.

"Grandpa Luo, let's do this. If you count these days, from now on, I will send some of Xihanling's products to those old men every once in a while. As long as their bodies change, their longevity will be able to Increase".

Luo Xiao nodded, "Xinyu, your honey can make people live longer. If possible, give them some. Let me know how much it costs. Every year, there will be fewer old brothers. I really can't bear to do it." Watch them go”.

Zhao Xinyu was shocked. He looked at his grandfather Meng Lie and said, "Grandpa, how many old brothers do you still have who came out together?"

Meng Lie's eyes flickered a few times, "There are less than thirty."

"Get in touch and I'll prepare in the afternoon."

After Zhao Xinyu was ready in the afternoon, someone immediately came to pick it up. Zhao Xinyu did nothing all afternoon and was busy preparing things for the old men.

In the evening, the whole family went into the basement. Zhao Xinyu locked the door to the basement and then went back to rest.

When he lay down on the bed, he didn't know why, but Zhao Xinyu didn't feel sleepy at all, which surprised him. From the beginning, he could fall asleep even if he encountered something that upset him. He didn't have any worries today. Things were going on, but he didn't feel sleepy, which made him confused.

Just as Zhao Xinyu was tossing and turning on the big bed, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable crisis.

With a sense of crisis in his heart, Zhao Xinyu immediately got up and went to the monitoring room in the basement. The next moment, his expression changed and he saw a figure standing outside the compound. The owner of the figure was wearing ordinary clothes. Even though he was across the screen, Shipley felt a strong sense of crisis.
