Metropolis: I Am a Full-Time Professional, Attracting Worldwide Attention

Chapter 68

After finishing the call, Chen Xuan glanced at the live broadcast room, then looked at the drone, and said, “Dean Chen from the Magic Capital Medical College just called and has purchased wild ginseng. For those of you who could not buy it. Sorry, as for the gifts you just sent, you will send me a private message and I will return it to your account.”

People came here with wild ginseng, otherwise they would not give gifts or rewards.

He hasn’t bought it now, and he can’t feel at ease holding the money.

[Tongrentang]: Although it’s a pity that I didn’t buy them, these gifts are for Brother Chen. How can there be any reason to return the items?

[Lerentang] I rewarded 10 Buddhas jumping over the wall and left a message: Brother Chen, next time I go to the mountains to find wild ginseng, remember to keep it for me, I booked in advance!

Chen Xuan smiled and said: “Okay, dig it up again, I must keep it for you first.”

On the other side, the local tyrant’s WeChat group.

Hushanxing: Good deed, old wine, this kid is okay, so hungry.

Qiao Ye: If the wild ginseng is true, then he has no luck.

Professor: The wild ginseng is real, and it is not luck for him, but he has a solid understanding of it.

Three glasses of wine: How about it, did I introduce you well?

Hu Shanxing: His hand that killed the snake made my eyes shine. It was really awesome.

Qiao Ye: It’s really awesome. It’s not easy to make such a reaction in such a short period of time.

This group adds up to seven people, and the content of the usual chat and discussion, except for women, is still women.

But today, it was uncharacteristically. With the recommendation of three glasses of wine, everyone was discussing Chen Xuan.

Being in their small circle is really a very magical thing.

…

Chen Xuan put the wild ginseng in the house, and then returned to the kitchen.

He grabbed the purple ganoderma and washed it carefully.

After washing, grab the kitchen knife, “Swish” is just a few dollars.

“This… isn’t it going to be sold?”

“Sell? What are you kidding? My brother Chen is short of this money?”

“Will you get a nosebleed if you eat this way?”

“Brother Chen lives in this mountain village, because Mao is different from others?”

“A dish is only a few hundred yuan in raw materials, it’s really extravagant!”

“A few hundred yuan? You can’t settle the bill, kid? Do you know how much the five step snake is? If it is such a big one, if a villager catches it, someone will collect more than one thousand yuan!”

“Is this snake so expensive?”

“Nonsense, Big Brother Five Step Snake, you thought it was a Cauliflower Snake, it’s very expensive.”

“A meal…eating half of my salary?”

“Big guy earns four thousand a month? Damn, I’m so envious, when will I get four thousand a month!”

“…I suspect you are humiliating me.”

Chen Xuan poured the chopped Ganoderma lucidum into the pot and fry a few times: “The conditions are limited, so I don’t pay attention to the 640. There is a saying that high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking.”

“Cover the pot and let it sit for a few hours. Snake meat and Ganoderma lucidum are not easy to simmer, so they should be simmered slowly over a low heat.”

Putting the lid on the pot, Chen Xuan went around behind the earthen stove and added some thick wood.

These wood fires can burn for more than 40 minutes, and even if the fire is gone, the temperature of the charcoal fire is equivalent to the small fire of a gas stove.

After getting it done, Chen Xuan stood up, clapped his hands, and walked out: “It’s time to solve the centipede.”

He took the tea jar with the centipede and didn’t open it immediately. Instead, he picked up a kettle filled with boiling water, and then opened the lid.

“You have to be careful when you get centipedes. This kind of tea can is not high enough, and with so many centipedes, it’s easy to crawl out if you don’t worry about it.”

“It’s also easy to dispose of centipedes. You can just scald them with boiling water, which means they will smell bad when they are hot.”

Chen Xuan opened the lid and climbed up after seeing a few centipedes. He moved fast and not messy, so he poured boiling water into it.

A white vapor suddenly emerged from the tea can, accompanied by a disgusting stench.

Chen Xuan had been prepared for a long time, so he avoided it in the first place.

After the boiling water was blanched, Chen Xuan buckled the tea can back on the ground. At this time, more than a hundred centipedes were lying quietly on the ground.

“For the hot centipede, put a bamboo stick against the head and tail, straighten it, and let it dry in the sun. You can take it to the pharmacy to sell it later.”

Chen Xuan looked around for a while but couldn’t find the bamboo sticks, so he put the centipede away and planned to go out to chop the knotted bamboo and come back to make it by himself.

Although not specifically doing this, as a king farmer, making a gadget like bamboo sticks is very easy to do.

On the way to the bamboo forest and passing by this acre of fertile land, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered that he has not herded cattle today.

It will be evening in two more hours, and there is no time to go now.Vegetables are still being stewed in the pot at home, no one can watch it.

Chen Xuan struggled for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped his head, how could he forget the genetic drink.

“Come and see you in a while.”

Chen Xuan shouted to the buffalo from a distance, and continued to walk towards the bamboo forest.

The water buffalo looked up and glanced at the two-legged beast with big bull eyes, obviously not understanding what he meant.

“Brother Chen didn’t graze the cows today, will the cows be hungry?”

“The cattle don’t have to be released, just cut ten catties of grass in a while.”

“Why did Brother Chen go?”

Under everyone’s puzzled eyes, Chen Xuan came to the bamboo forest, looking for suitable bamboo while walking.

“[The Blessing of the Mountain] is triggered, congratulations to the host for obtaining [Bamboo Weaving]”

[Bamboo Weaving]: Click to learn, you will be proficient in all bamboo weaving.

People give pillows when I doze off.

He clicked to learn in his heart, and after a short time, the knowledge related to bamboo weaving poured into his mind.

Looking at the emerald green bamboos in front of him, all kinds of bamboo weaving methods automatically appeared in his mind.

Bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, sieves, and even bamboo umbrellas, as long as he wants to make them, he can easily make them.

Not to mention, the little bamboo stick.

“That’s it.”

Chen Xuan picked a piece of bamboo, about the thickness of his forearm.

With a flick of the hatchet and a click, the bamboo was cut from the bottom.

The bamboo fell and crashed against other bamboos. When it fell to the ground, Chen Xuan dragged and chopped off the forks on it, turning it into a bare bamboo pole, and then walked away on his shoulders.

When passing the ridge, the big water buffalo looked up again, seeming to be very curious what the two-legged beast was doing.

“Come and see you in a while.” He said to the buffalo, regardless of whether he understood it or not.

Back in the yard, Chen Xuan threw the bamboo on the ground, moved a pony to it, and sat on the ground.

He put the bamboo on his lap, holding the knife in his right hand, and said: “Living in the countryside is good and bad.”

“Okay, the air is good, the scenery is good, and the house is big.”

“There are many bad things. The school is far away, the hospital is far away, there is no shopping mall, and there is no restaurant. You have to do everything you want to eat. You can either go to the county to buy it or make it yourself.”

“The house arranged for me by the program group has been seen by everyone. The weeds in the backyard grow old and there is nothing but a bed in the house. I want to pick some wild vegetables, even a basket of wild vegetables. No.”

“However, the wisdom of our people is infinite, if not, then create!”

With that, the hatchet in Chen Xuan’s hand swiped on the bamboo and landed at a position of more than one meter, and then the knife fell with a flash of cold light, and the bamboo was easily cut off.

Repeated this several times, this bamboo, which can be almost seven or eight meters long, is the six bamboo sticks that have been chopped down to the same length.

“Brother Chen’s sword skills have not fallen, he is still as fast as ever!”

“No, what are you doing cutting bamboo for?”

“Stupid, don’t you say Brother Chen? There is no basket for picking wild vegetables. Obviously, we need to make a bamboo basket.”

“Can you do it? It’s not easy to do.”

“The last time I went to Hongcun, they had a hand-woven bamboo basket that I dared to sell. It was so expensive!”

“This is still expensive? This is a hand-woven eldest brother! How expensive is it.”

Wang Tao’s eyes were weird and said: “He can weave bamboo baskets?”

Ma Jingyao smiled and said, “He knows how complicated things are.”

“How do I feel that there is nothing he doesn’t know?” Zhang Jianmin frowned.

He didn’t know why he felt that way, maybe it was his instinct as a policeman?

…

After cutting off the bamboo, a section of more than twenty centimeters of bamboo was left, and he did not lose it either.

The purpose of cutting bamboo was to get some bamboo sticks, but it was a surprise to get the ability to make [bamboo weaving].

He grabbed this section of bamboo, and lightly knocked the end of the hatchet with his right hand.

With a click, the bamboo joints were easily split.

The next job is very simple, which is to split the bamboo repeatedly.

The making of bamboo sticks is very simple, that is, continuously splitting the bamboo into bamboo strips of the same thickness.

Chopsticks are also made in this way.

But for those who are just learning, the cutting is very slow, and they need to use a pen to mark the bamboo, otherwise it is easy to have a thick one and a thin one.

But Chen Xuan doesn’t need it. At the moment he grabbed the bamboo and hatchet, it was clear to him how much force should be used and which angle should be used to cut the bamboo.

If someone took a ruler to measure, they would be horrified to find that the thickness of each bamboo strip cut by Chen Xuan did not exceed three millimeters.

What a terrifying precision!

And (cidi) fell in the eyes of everyone. At this moment, Chen Xuan seemed to press ten times the speed. His hands were like machines, and the hatchet had only two movements in his hands.

Lift up, fall down.

Then I saw the bamboo strips neatly piled together.

“Ok… so fast.”

“Brother Chen does this at home, right?”

“Brother Chen’s skillful movements make people feel distressed… When I saw that I didn’t do less when I was young, it is estimated that I have relied on this to earn tuition since I was young.”

“Wipe, won’t it be so miserable, right?”

“Stop talking, I’m already crying.”

In less than two minutes before and after, Chen Xuan had already cleaved more than a hundred bamboo sticks from a bamboo joint with the thickness of one arm.

He grabbed it casually and walked under the eaves, where the centipedes were all placed.

He squatted down, a centipede with a bamboo stick.

“If you make bamboo sticks for sale, you have to use sandpaper to remove the burrs, and then boil them in water, just like making chopsticks.”

“But I use it myself, so I’m not so particular about it, and there is no sandpaper here, just be careful.”

Seeing his skillful movements, he straightened a centipede in a few strokes.

More than a hundred centipedes were supported, leaning against the corner of the wall, basking in the sun.

After getting the centipede, Chen Xuan went back and continued to make bamboo baskets.

At this time, Wang Bin and several children suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, and shouted, “Uncle Chen.”

“Why are you here?” Chen Xuan opened the door and greeted them in.

Wang Bin grabbed a mineral water bottle full of centipedes in his hands: “Uncle Chen, how can I kill this?”

Hey, feelings are this thing.

Chen Xuan smiled and said: “The boiling water burns to death, and then use bamboo sticks… come, come here.”

He didn’t say anything, but took them directly to the corner.

Several little boys looked at the centipedes in a row, and they immediately understood.

However, they don’t have so many bamboo sticks.

Chen Xuan said: “I have some more bamboo sticks. You can use them first, and I will get you some more.”

“It’s hot right here, there are also in the boiling water house.”

“Thank you Uncle Chen.” Several children said politely.

Although their families are not wealthy and their parents usually work in other places, they also know that they have to say thank you to trouble others.

Chen Xuan smiled and said no thanks, and went to chop some bamboo sticks for them.

They are scalded to death right here, straightened.

Don’t take it home, just put it here to dry.

When it was done, the children did not rush away, but squatted aside, curiously watching Chen Xuan making bamboo.

“Uncle Chen what are you doing?”

“Make a bamboo basket.”

“I think my grandpa made it.” A child said: “My grandpa is amazing. The bamboo basket he made is very strong.”

“My grandpa will make up too!”

“My grandpa can still ride a motorcycle!”

“My grandpa caught a hare!”

Somehow, it suddenly became a scene where these children competed against each other.

Chen Xuan laughed, but at this moment he heard a little boy say: “My grandpa dares to eat shit, does your grandpa dare?”

Chen Xuan: “???”

“Hahaha, I laughed so hard!”

“God stepped on horses to eat shit and laughed to pee.”

“These kids can talk about cross talk, it’s so funny.””Children’s words are not jealous.”

“I don’t know what their grandfather thinks.”

Chen Xuan smiled and continued to make bamboo baskets.

The bamboo joints are more than one meter long, and if you use the trick just now, it takes more time, and you have to stand up, which is troublesome.

So Chen Xuan directly clamped the hatchet with his legs, then grabbed the bamboo joint and knocked gently against the blade.

The bamboo split immediately and split into two halves.

After finding the rhythm, the next step is to do the same action over and over again.

His movements were extremely fast, and within a minute, he had successfully divided this bamboo into bamboo strips.

Without delay, he grabbed the second bamboo joint and continued.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“Mom…what kind of hand speed is this?”

“It feels faster than before.”

“I always said that Brother Chen’s hand speed can make rich women happy!”

“So, Brother Chen has practiced this since he was young, not for survival? But for the rich woman?”

“Brother, isn’t it just to survive for the rich woman?”

“…It makes sense, I can’t refute it.”

In just five minutes, a complete bamboo disappeared.

Replaced by a pile of bamboo strips.

Someone compares the previous screenshots with the current scene, and the comparison is a bit daunting.

In these few minutes…what happened?

Chen Xuan grabbed two bamboo sticks and said: “It is actually very troublesome to make a bamboo basket. Broken bamboo, roasting, removing knots, layering, fixing color, smoothing, scribing, smoothing…”

“The process inside, really needs to be studied carefully, it may have more than a dozen steps.”

“First of all, start with the bottom, like this…”

As Chen Xuan spoke, he began to compose the bottom line.

Three times five divided by two, ten seconds later, the bottom of a bamboo basket appeared.

He picked up the compiled bottom and showed it to the drone: “Look, isn’t it easy?”

Everyone was stunned.

“Do you care about this, call it simple?”

“Brother Chen’s understanding of simplicity…”

“We are different! Everyone has different hands!”

“Brother Chen: Is this not a right hand?”

Chen Xuan said: “It’s done from the bottom up, the following is the preparation of other parts.”

“To prepare a bamboo basket, there are actually three main processes.”

“Starting, weaving, and locking.”

“I use the simplest warp and weft knitting method. Of course, if I have enough time, I can also make some patterns.”

Chen Xuan said with his mouth, his hands did not stop.

Soon, the general appearance of a bamboo basket was formed in his hands.

Everyone has long been dumbfounded.

Then Chen Xuan started the last step, locking his mouth.

Two minutes later.

A complete bamboo basket appeared.

Wang Bin said: “Uncle Chen, you are so amazing, you can make up much faster than my grandfather!”

“It’s okay.” Chen Xuan smiled faintly, pretending to be humble.

Wang Tao and others also watched very carefully. As Chen Xuan explained and compiled, they were all immersed in it.

After finishing the compilation, he said: “So professional!”

Li Lang said, “I feel that even without that wild ginseng, he can live very easily this month.”

“Indeed.” Ma Jingyao said: “With his ability, there are almost no obstacles to living in the countryside.”

“It’s no wonder he dared to choose this career with a zero completion rate. As expected, he has two brushes.” Zhang Jianmin smiled and said, “I am more and more interested in him now.”

In their eyes, Chen Xuan is like a treasure, as you continue to dig, he will continue to surprise you. .
