Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

Lu Ao got dressed and dug out the watermelon seeds.

The big watermelon he ate was quite big and had many seeds, about five or six hundred.

The weather is relatively hot now, and the season for planting watermelons has passed.

Lu Ao thought about it, but in the end, only half of the watermelon seeds came out, and the other half of the watermelon seeds were put back in the drawer as they were. If the watermelon seeds are not planted this year, they can come back next year.

After pouring out the watermelon seeds, Lu Ao carried a small basket, put on a hoe, and wore a straw hat to plant watermelons in the back mountain.

Watermelon likes sandy soil, and the soil in the back mountain is basically sandy soil.

The back mountain is behind their village, relatively close.

In just 5 minutes, Lu Ao went up the mountain.

There are more vegetable fields on the back mountain side, and they are all terraced fields.

A ditch flows down from the mountain in a circle, and the clear and cold mountain spring water flows down the valley to the village, where it joins the ditch beside the village.

The water quality here is good. Looking down, you can see many small fish with long thumbs.

The field of Lu Ao's family is by the stream.

This field was opened by his ancestors. It used to be a vegetable field, and it was not counted in the eight-acre field of three mu.

The same is true for the nearby fields, which are all vegetable fields opened by the elders in the village before, and were not included in the collective when the fields were divided later.

The fields here have been planted for several generations, and the fertility is not bad. In addition, it is relatively close to the village, and there is relatively little wasteland. Most of them are planted with vegetables, unlike the sky near the village, where most of them grow grass.

Lu Ao walked up the mountain road and saw an old man carrying a bucket to water vegetables.

Lu Ao greeted them one by one.

When he arrived at the field, he found that his field had already been covered with weeds, and there were many small shrubs among them, which reached about the height of his knees.

These shrubs looked small, but the roots underneath were deep and extended in all directions. Lu Ao put down his hoe and basket and tried it, but found that it took a lot of effort to pull out the shrubs.

The old man Wang Huaiying, who was watering vegetables in the nearby field, saw him struggling so hard, so he couldn't help walking to the ridge and asking, "This field has not been planted for a long time, do you want to grow it?"

"Well. Plant something."

"It's too much effort for you to open up wasteland here. What do you want to plant? If you are not too far away, I will plant the field below my house for you."

After Lu Ao came back for more than a month, everyone in the village knew that he was staying in the village and would not go back to work in the city.We all know that his family's three acres of land are full of vegetables, and they look very good.

The old man thought that he had no place to grow things, so he came to the idea of ​​this wasteland.

"Thank you grandma, I will plant some watermelons, the soil here is better."

"Plant watermelons now?" The old man hobbled over and reminded with his hands behind his back: "Watermelons should be planted in March and April. At this time, many people's watermelons have grown up."

Lu Ao explained: "I know. A friend gave me a watermelon. It tastes good. I saved some seeds to try. The weather on the mountain is cooler, so it might be possible to grow it."

"No matter how cold it is, it's not much different from the bottom." The old man came to help pull out the weeds, and couldn't help but said: "This land has been deserted for so many years, and the soil is hard, so I have to turn it over carefully, how difficult it is. .”

The elderly are also kind.

Lu Ao hurried over, "Just leave it alone, I'll do it myself. Find out this year, and it won't be difficult next year."

The old man didn't dare to be brave, so he staggered back to the ridge and looked, "I think you might as well buy some herbicide and spray it, and the grass will wither in a few days. Then you can cut it off, which will be more convenient than pulling it out now." Much more."

"I'll try to see if I can unplug it first."

"Even if you can, it's not worth the effort. Listen to me, go buy a bottle of herbicide and spray it, and it will be fine in a few days. If you pull it like this, the grass on the surface will be pulled clean, and all the grass seeds will fall on the ground." Inside. The land of your house has been deserted for more than ten years, and the grass seeds have accumulated, maybe three inches thick, even if you pull it out now, once you water it, the weeds will grow again."

The old man has rich experience. After hearing what she said, Lu Ao realized this serious problem.

Seeing him lost in thought, the old man continued: "It's better to plant at the bottom of the mountain. It's not much worse. The mountain has only been abandoned for a few years, and the land is fertile. It's easy to plant after weeding and fertilizing. There are also big canals over there. , water diversion is much more convenient than here, and watermelons still require a lot of water.”

This was the first time Lu Ao encountered such a situation since returning to his hometown.

He thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, I'll try it first, if it doesn't work, I'll go down and plant next year."

The old man had nothing to do with him, "Then remember to take the medicine again."

Lu Ao agreed.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the old man went back to his own field after rambling.

After a while, the old man finished pouring the water, greeted Lu Ao, and went back with the bucket.

Lu Ao pulled weeds in the field, and his palms turned red.

As far as I could see, I saw the old man gradually descending the mountain, and there was no one else nearby.

He simply took out his mobile phone and looked for Songzhou: Songzhou, are you free?Ask for assistance?

-Ok?

- I am planting watermelon on the mountain, there is too much grass, I want you to come and help weed down, in return, I will treat you to a big meal later

After a while, Song Zhou replied: You go to rest under the shade of the tree for a while, I will come back in 10 minutes

-good.I'm on the hill behind the village, the one with terraced fields

- know, wait a minute

When Lu Ao got his reply, he sat down under the ginkgo tree beside his field and waited in peace.

The ginkgo tree in his family has been planted for nearly a hundred years. Now the trunk is thicker than the mouth of a bowl, and it has never produced fruit.

The ancestor saw that the ginkgo tree was growing well, so he couldn't bear to cut it down. He also saw that it only occupied a corner of the field and didn't get in the way, so he just kept it.

Lu Ao also learned that ginkgo trees are dioecious plants. In order for it to bear fruit, there must be two kinds of trees, male and female. result.

He knew that after this incident, he would be in adolescence. At that time, his family had already moved to Xiding City, and it would be fine if he didn't come back to work in agriculture.

Later, both of his parents died, and he didn't care about these things in his hometown.

Now that he has come back to live, such a large ginkgo tree grows here, so he can tell whether it is male or female, and then plant a tree of the opposite sex nearby, looking forward to ginkgo next year.

When Song Zhou came over, he saw him staring at the ginkgo tree in a daze, and asked him, "What do you think?"

"Huh?" Lu Ao came back to his senses, stood up and stretched, and said, "I'm thinking about planting another tree? Get some ginkgo next year."

Song Zhou also glanced at the ginkgo, "This tree grows well."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

The two chatted a few words, and then Lu Ao turned the topic to the field below, "I want to reclaim this land. There are too many weeds in this field. I want to ask you to do it again. The grass seeds in the soil are also gone." Gotta get rid of it."

Songzhou looked at the land, it was not that big, only about half a field.

"Would you like this kind of watermelon?"

"Yeah, didn't you say that sandy soil is the best way to grow watermelons? It's windy here, it's close to a ditch, and it's sandy soil. I think it's good in this kind of soil."

Song Zhou understood. He looked at the ground and said, "I'll weed first."

"it is good."

Song Zhou bent down and touched the dirt lightly.

Except for ginkgo, all the plants in Lu Ao's field quickly withered and turned yellow, and then turned to ashes.

At this moment, Lu Ao felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and looked at Song Zhou in amazement.

Songzhou said: "High temperature sterilization."

Lu Ao looked at the ginkgo tree next to him. The ginkgo tree was still green and unaffected, which showed how precise Songzhou's control ability was.

After the grass turned to ashes, Song Zhou touched the ground again.

The lumps of soil on this piece of land suddenly shattered, became fluffy, and the whole piece of land was two or three centimeters higher.

Song Zhou stood up and looked at the sky. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, floated over the land, and began to rain lightly.

Lu Ao was shocked to see Songzhou's methods again.

The whole person will be sluggish.

The rain was light at first, and then became heavy rain. The coolness rushed towards Lu Ao, and then the drizzle fully wet the soil surface, and finally the rain stopped.

Song Zhou looked back at Lu Ao, "It's fine."

Lu Ao was in a daze, "I can really learn this?"

Song Zhou rolled his eyes, "Okay, your Dragon Clan can rain better than me."

Lu Ao touched the wet but not water-logged soil, feeling a little unbelievable.

With Song Zhou's help, farming has become a very convenient thing.

After more than an hour, Lu Ao made a ridge and planted all the watermelon seeds.

If nothing else, these watermelons will germinate after two or three days.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou went to the ditch to wash their hands.

The two packed their things and went home.

Back in the yard, Lu Ao went to pour tea. He handed the first cup of tea to Song Zhou with both hands full of respect, "Teacher Song, drink tea."

"Well, what do you want to eat when you treat me to a big meal?"

"Speaking of this, I have to show you—" Lu Ao ran to the kitchen, and came out a while later with a big lobster with teeth and claws, and said a little proudly: "This! The splendid lobster caught this morning is very vigorous! "

Song Zhou admired it sincerely, "This lobster is really big."

"I think so too." Lu Ao will carry the lobster, "I don't know what's going on, but I can always catch a lot of big fish recently."

"That's natural. The last dragon in this plane, is this name just for fun?" Song Zhou laughed, "The longer the sea creatures live, the more they can feel your presence, and the more they will unconsciously approach you."

Lu Ao thought of the big dragon grouper he had hit earlier and the big yellow croaker he had caught, and he understood a little bit.

He thought again: "Is it close?"

"Mostly, this kind of intimacy is relatively shallow. Your dragon body is too small." Song Zhou said: "It's more about attraction."

"In that case, will I be in danger when I go to the ocean? For example, huge sea creatures are too close to me, causing some accidents?"

"Not for the time being, your dragon body is still small, and you can't attract those huge creatures over one ton."

Lu Ao was a little relieved when he heard this, but also a little disappointed.

Silently depressed for a while, he held the big lobster in his hand, "Shall we have lobster for dinner?"

"it is good."

Lu Ao was in high spirits, "Then let's make lobster sashimi, and then have a plate of pan-fried lobster meat, and the staple food is lobster noodles?"

Song Zhou had no objection, "I'll help you."

Lu Ao took the lobster to wash.

This kind of lobster grows in nature, and it is quite dirty, so it has to be washed before it can be put into the pot.

Lu Ao carefully cleaned the edges and corners of the lobster, then took it to the chopping board, held down the lobster's head, and twisted the lobster's body.

He has great strength, even if the lobster is too big for him to hold with one hand, the body and head of the lobster can be easily separated under the great force.

After unscrewing the head, you can see the milky white meat of the lobster.

Lu Ao cut open the shell with large scissors, took out the meat, placed it on a chopping board dedicated to cutting cooked food, and cut it into slices lightly.

Cut half of the lobster into thin slices and half into thick slices.

After Lu Ao finished cutting, his hands were full of the smell of meat. He called out to Song Zhou, "Please help me get a plate with a plate of ice. There are clean ice cubes on the first floor under the refrigerator."

Song Zhou didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and a large plate full of ice cubes came over.

Lu Ao put the thinly sliced ​​lobster meat on the plate, and said: "This shrimp meat should be eaten as sashimi, it will be smoother when it is iced."

Lobsters are marine organisms, and there are very few parasites in them. Even if there are parasites, they are not used to the environment of the human body.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not polluted, such seafood can be eaten directly as sashimi.

Song Zhou looked at half of the plate of lobster meat and boasted, "The knife is good."

"That's it." Lu Ao slightly marinated the thick lobster meat with pepper cooking wine, etc., wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it aside, "I'll deal with the shrimp head first."

The most anticipated thing in the lobster head is a large piece of shrimp paste and shrimp brain.

These shrimp paste and shrimp brains were taken out and placed separately. Lu Ao cut off the corners of the lobster head, then chopped it into two halves, then cleaned the dirt inside the shell, and chopped the lobster head into several pieces.

Shrimp head, shrimp paste, shrimp brain, etc. can be fried in a pan, and then made into soup for the base.

Lu Ao was busy working quickly, smelling the scent wafting from the pot, feeling more and more hungry.

The buttery lobster meat has been fried, and the milky white meat is slightly yellowish, sprinkled with a little sea salt, the delicious smell hits the brain, making the mouth water.

Shrimp head and shrimp paste Shrimp brain is fried and then boiled into a soup, which is rich and delicious before seasoning.

Lu Ao specially made it into hot and sour soup. The shrimp shells are not needed, but the shrimp paste and shrimp brains have already been boiled.

After filtering, the soup showed a rich milky yellow color. Lu Ao put noodles, fat beef, prawns, shellfish, and small green vegetables into it one by one, and made a big pot of lobster noodles.

This aroma is very refreshing, and the rich milky yellow soup is full of ingredients, which makes people salivate.

Lu Ao divided the noodles into two portions and served them in special ramen bowls. He couldn't wait to greet Song Zhou, "Dinner, let's try today's lobster meat."

Song Zhou was using tongs to fish out the lobster meat from the ice tray, and said, "It will be ready soon."

Lu Ao opened the refrigerator, "I'll look for mustard and soy sauce first. I bought special soy sauce for eating seafood a while ago, and it tastes pretty good."

He can almost imagine the taste of milky white lobster meat dipped in wasabi and soy sauce.

Especially the lobster meat has just been iced, and it must be delicious and springy when you put it in your mouth.

Lu Ao wanted to drool just thinking about it, so he speeded up and rummaged through the refrigerator for mustard.

Just as he was concentrating on searching, the mobile phone outside rang.

Lu Ao turned his head and saw Song Zhou going out with the lobster meat, and asked casually, "Who is it? Please take a look for me."

Song Zhou took a look for him, "It's a fixed line, you didn't save this phone number."

"It's strange, can't it be someone who wants to buy lobster?" Lu Ao looked at the lobster that had been cooked, and felt a little sorry for the caller. "My lobster is all ready, just waiting to eat."

He walked out quickly carrying soy sauce and wasabi, and answered the phone, "Hello."

A male voice came from the phone: "Mr. Lu, hello, we are Qianyong Maritime and Shipping Public Security Bureau—"

Lu Ao frowned, and looked up at Song Zhou, completely puzzled.

He didn't do anything illegal or criminal. Could it be the conflict with the gangsters?

Shouldn't that matter be under the control of the Public Security Bureau of Xiding City?

Various thoughts flashed through Lu Ao's mind, and the policeman on the phone was still reporting his number: "...This is my number, you can record it."

Lu Ao came back to his senses, and said "um", "Okay, what's the matter?"
