A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

After all, Yu Fei is a child, and after the freshness of the past few days has passed, he no longer has the patience to stay in a remote farm with few people.Therefore, he didn't come to help every day, and often left after only half a day. For more time, Fang Shiqing just stayed alone in the huge farm.

Fang Shiqing has long been used to this kind of situation of having fun alone. Anyway, he has been playing games all the time, and he doesn't feel bored.

During this period of time, he generally lived a very fulfilling life and did a lot of work.

Needless to say, the daily care of animals and farming, in addition, he also cut a shuttle out of wood, weaved two fishing nets with nylon rope, and started to prepare for fishing.

He didn't dare to approach the water by himself, so he asked Yu Fei to cast two nets in the river while Yu Fei was there.Yu Fei was surprisingly good at catching fish, and caught a lot of river fish in twos and twos, with different sizes and types.

Fang Shiqing accidentally discovered that when selling directly, the price of each fish is only related to the species and has nothing to do with the size of the fish, so he sold the smaller ones and kept the larger ones to make dishes. Made a lot of delicious food with tricks.

He packed up the extra dishes and asked Yu Fei to help deliver them to other players, including Xiao Fengdi of course.

After repeating it twice, Yu Fei couldn't help but said: "Brother Fang, why don't you bring it to him yourself? You only stay here all day long, don't you get bored, just go out for a stroll, and go to see Brother Xiao by the way." .”

Fang Shiqing smiled wryly in his heart, and could only shake his head: "I still won't go for the time being."

"Did you quarrel?" Yu Fei asked curiously.

"...No. It's just that I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to go out."

"Oh, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. You can never finish work. Come on, let's go together. Brother Xiao misses you very much."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Shiqing felt a little uncomfortable, but couldn't show anything on his face, so he had to deal with it: "Next time, let's talk about it next time. Uh, how is Brother Xiao recently, how are you?"

"It's okay, I look almost the same as before, and I still don't pay much attention to me."

When Yu Fei came back later, he silently carried a large package of tightly wrapped things to Fang Shiqing, and opened it to see that it was processed game.

"Brother Xiao asked me to bring it to you," he said with a look of being stuffed with dog food, "Did you guys agree to blind me?"

"...We are really not the kind of relationship you think." Fang Shiqing muttered in a low voice.

In this way, they brought a lot of things to each other, from fish, to wild products, to fresh fruits and vegetables... Yu Fei complained a few words at first, but he gradually got used to it. Anyway, he can eat a lot of delicious food along with him. .

To say that the most common fruit in autumn is undoubtedly the apple.

Fang Shiqing didn't start planting apple trees until autumn, but with the help of growing potions, the apple trees that were supposed to grow for a month grew in seven or eight days, and began to produce a large number of fruits every day.

This kind of apple can't be sold for much money, but it can replenish stamina and health, and it tastes very good. Everyone likes it very much.

Other crops also grow rapidly.After the first batch of cotton matured, Fang Shiqing planned to use cotton to spin and weave cloth: the harvested cotton was not worth much, but after being made into cotton cloth, even if the quality of the cloth was not high, one roll was enough to exchange for thousands of dollars.

If you want to weave cloth, the humble little spindle before is not enough. You need a more efficient machine.

In order to tinker with this little cotton, he really spent a lot of thought and made a lot of props out of wood: from traditional bows for playing cotton, to relatively complex spinning wheels and looms, and so on.

Yu Fei didn't know looms at all, and after Fang Shiqing explained to him how to use it, his face was filled with distaste: "This is something for weaving? Isn't weaving a job for girls? Brother Fang, don't you?" Man."

"Don't discriminate against sex!" Fang Shiqing taught him seriously, "There is no distinction between high and low jobs. Traditionally, women are more engaged in the textile industry, but we don't need to be so limited, just like women can engage in heavy industry production. Of course men can spin and weave—in short, we can do anything as long as we can make money."

The precision of the looms made at first was slightly lower, and the cotton cloth woven was very rough.After Fang Shiqing improved his craftsmanship by one level, he remade the machine, and the things we woven looked much better.

And with the "high temperature secret chamber" magic guide, his crafting skills have also been greatly expanded.

The first thing to make is a few cylinders.Although the finished product looks ugly, it is very convenient to use.At present, there is a water pump, so there is no need to use a tank to store water, but - the season for pickling sauerkraut will soon come, and a large tank will be needed for pickling.

After improving his skills, he tried to burn another batch of glass.Glass can be sold directly or used as a building material.

After preparing the raw materials, he invited Carpenter Wang to build a large greenhouse on the farm with glass and wood.

This is specifically for growing ornamental and tropical plants.Ornamental plants are often delicate and take more time to tend, but they are much more valuable than food vegetables.

The entire room was quite expensive to build, and after it was finished, Fang Shiqing didn't dare to let Yu Fei approach the greenhouse, for fear that the brat would smash the glass of the entire room with a single trembling hand.

But today, Yu Fei's proficiency in skills has improved, and he can help a lot in making wooden utensils.

According to the reference book, Fang Shiqing made a batch of oak barrels with oak wood bought from a neighboring town.Oak barrels are a traditional tool used to make wine. It is very simple to use in the game. Crush the grapes, throw them in with sugar, and let them sit for ten days.

Fermentation in reality often takes several months, but in the game it is much faster, and regardless of the quality of the grapes, the finished product is delicious.

After harvesting a crop of barley, he tried brewing another batch of beer.There are a few wild hops growing on the other side of the river in the south of the farm, and they can be picked at the beginning of autumn. The beer in the game is more troublesome. It needs to make malt first, then mix hops, and there is a certain failure rate, but the finished product is faster than grapes. faster.

Fang Shiqing himself doesn't drink beer, and he doesn't know how it tastes, but he only knows that it is quite valuable.Yu Fei was very greedy for the brewed wine. Considering that minors should not drink alcohol, Fang Shiqing sold almost all the output, and only kept a little in his inventory, planning to give it away to others in the future.

Time flies.Indulging in his own small world every day, doing some farm work comfortably, Fang Shiqing occasionally even has some illusions: In fact, he has never lived in the so-called "reality".I was originally a farmer who inherited a family business in a remote town. I grew vegetables and raised chickens on my farm every day, and settled down...

At this time, he would turn out the "Strategy Manual" to remind himself.

This kind of life may be ideal for him, but even if it is only for other teammates, he must at least work harder.

This unchanging calm was broken on the fifteenth day of the autumn moon.

"Brother Fang, someone is looking for you." That morning, when Fang Shiqing was busy picking cotton, Yu Fei came in with a puffy face and said reluctantly.

"Looking for me? Who?" This month's player meeting has been cancelled. Now Zeng Xin should be on a business trip. You Qingyu and Zhao Jun are busy with the factory. Who else will come to him, and who else will come to him? Can you make Yu Fei show such an attitude?

"People are at the door, go and see for yourself."

Fang Shiqing walked to the door in doubt, only to see Zhang Yu standing there, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"..."

Why did she come here? !

He immediately regretted it.If I had known it was her, I would have asked Yu Fei to go out and say that he was gone, but it was too late now.He could only bite the bullet and walk over: "...do you have anything to do?"

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Zhang Yu didn't care about his stiff tone at all, and he came up with a smile and wanted to hold his arm, "Brother Shiqing, long time no see, why don't you come to town recently? La?"

Fang Shiqing hid back again and again in fright.No, how on earth did she manage to be so affectionate with someone after almost killing him?Is this girl mentally okay? !

"Wait, wait," he wished he could run back to the farm and close the gate, "I'm sorry, please stay away from me a little bit, don't tell me you've forgotten everything before."

"Why are you so out of touch?" Zhang Yu stopped his movements, but his expression did not change at all, "Brother Shiqing, I was wrong about the previous thing, but I have already reflected on it. Don't worry, I will do it this time. I just came to see you, I won't enter the door, okay?"

It's impossible not to worry, but in the end, he has nothing to do with NPCs.You can't fight, people are running to the door, and you have no choice but to hide, so you can only ask guardedly: "Then you saw it now, can I ask you to leave?"

"My brother asked me to bring you something," Zhang Yu said, taking out a beautifully decorated box.Fang Shiqing took it carefully, and couldn't help being stunned:

It turned out to be a box of moon cakes.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival," Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Brother Shiqing, don't you know? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival for family reunion. Do you have to spend the festival alone? No Do you feel lonely? Would you like to go to the bar with our family to have a reunion dinner today?"

——It turned out to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This box of mooncakes is a typical light-style mooncake. It is very exquisitely made. There are six flavors in a box, and it looks like a gift box specially prepared to give away.

"...Thank you." After all, he brought a gift, Fang Shiqing was embarrassed to say anything else.

He really didn't know it was a holiday today.

"Wait a minute." He wanted to go back and get some freshly harvested fruits and vegetables or wine for her to take back as a gift in return, but was stopped by Zhang Yu.

"You're welcome. But... don't rush back, I still have something to tell you."

"No, forget it." Fang Shiqing cautiously avoided her hand.Thank you, thank you, he still doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Yu.

"—Did you and the one in the library quarrel?"

Zhang Yu asked directly.Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and her smile faded when she saw this: "Have you had a fight? You haven't been to the library for nearly two weeks, not even once."

After reacting, Fang Shiqing only felt inexplicable for a while.

Why did he and Xiao Fengdi just have a few days of embarrassment, and then it seemed like everyone was asking?That's all for the other teammates, even the NPCs kept asking, is this so important?And does this have anything to do with Zhang Yu?

"Why are you arguing?" Zhang Yu tilted his head and looked at him quietly, "Did something special happen? Brother Shiqing, you probably like him. Why do you fall out with the person you like?" Woolen cloth?"

"Hmm... have you finished?" Fang Shiqing said, "After I finish, I'll go in and get some fruit and bring it back for you. Anyway, thank you for the mooncakes, and thank Zhang Yu for me."

Zhang Yu was a little surprised: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"No." He replied in a second, turned around after speaking, and planned to go into the farm.

"Brother Shi Qing!"

Zhang Yu finally couldn't hold back, and called him again, "You were rejected too, right? Don't you feel reconciled? Don't you want to hold the person you like in your hands?"

Fang Shiqing ignored her.She continued, "Or, are you going to do nothing and run away? Now here's a chance—a great chance that can change everything. Just take this chance and you've got a chance to get him." ; Don't you want to try it at all!"

Fang Shiqing went into the farm, dug out a newly woven rattan basket a few days ago, filled it with some mountain goods, and took it out.Zhang Yu stood stubbornly outside the door, with a look of refusing to give up at all: "Brother Shiqing, think about it carefully. Now I have a plan, as long as you are willing to help, I will definitely..."

Fang Shiqing silently stuffed the wicker basket in her hand into her arms, finally interrupting her chatter; the basket was full of hickory nuts, which are in season now.

"Girl," he said sincerely, "I think you need to refresh your mind."

■

After Zhang Yu left, Fang Shiqing regretted it a little.Just now she said that she "has a plan". Could it be that she is coquettish and planning to do something to Xiao Fengdi?Should he pretend to agree, extract the so-called plan from her, and then remind Xiao Fengdi to pay attention.

But it's too late to regret now.Fang Shiqing had no choice but to write a note, briefly describing the experience, and then asked Yu Fei to take it to the library.

The following days were as peaceful as before, until Qiuyue's last day, when the mark of the water ghost on his body finally faded away.

At this time, the farm also needs to start preparing for winter.
