In my days as a farmer

Xia Dongli didn't see Teacher Tutu until three days later. Of course, Rice didn't help him find it. The struggling little appearance of Rice was so pitiful that Xia Dongli couldn't bear to force it.

Teacher Tutu was seduced by the hay heads of alfalfa that Xia Dongli sprinkled near its nest.

These grass heads are custom-made products, and the grass tips of the first crop of alfalfa grass in the south this year are selected, which are extremely fresh and tender.

And because the plants grow at different speeds in spring, for the sake of quality control, these grass heads are hand-picked and dried at low temperature.

This is a forum member who made it for the guinea pigs at home. Because everyone’s voice was too loud after posting it on the forum, I made an extra batch this year and sold it.Of course, because of the high labor cost and the limited annual season, the price of these grass heads is almost twice that of ordinary alfalfa.

Xia Dongli also joined in the fun and bought two copies. He originally planned to smash them according to the tutorial to make straw cakes, but now he just took them out to try.

Xia Dongli just put some grass heads at the entrance of the rabbit hole the day before, and saw the red-eyed white rabbit appearing at his door the next day.The effect is very significant, and it seems that no herbivore can resist the temptation of the new grass of the year.

Xia Dongli invited Mr. Tutu into the room, put hay and water in front of it, and served a cup of hot tea and some snacks for himself. One person and one rabbit sat on two futons and had a friendly chat. Kind talk.

The two sides first discussed the issue of Xiaotiangou. Xia Dongli asked Teacher Tutu to tell Erlang God about the gender of Rice. It is impossible for Rice to conceive a puppy, and he seriously stated that it is a new era. !

While Xia Dongli was talking, the white rabbit remained silent, its eyes staring intently at the new grass in the pot in front of it.The three-petal mouth wriggled a few times, and the long grass stalks disappeared into its small mouth at a speed that ordinary rabbits could not match.

"Teacher Tutu?" Xia Dongli couldn't wait for a response for a long time, and finally couldn't help but urge him softly.

The white rabbit raised its eyes, and the glass-like transparent red eyes stared at Xia Dongli for a long time, until the last piece of grass fell into its small mouth, then it nodded and licked a few more mouthfuls of water before straightening up Sitting down, he looked very reliable again.

But I don't know if it was Xia Dongli's illusion. When he looked at each other just now, he seemed to see that the rabbit's eyes were full of a sense of indulging in delicious food-did Teacher Tutu really not desert just now?

As if guessing what Xia Dongli was thinking, the white rabbit made a gasp at the young man, then kicked his legs gracefully, and left with the satisfaction of being full of wine and food.

Xia Dongli looked at the back of the white rabbit running away, but felt a little disappointed.Hey, after the matter is settled, Xiao Tianwang won't come, it's so embarrassing for the brother to be forcibly turned into a lover or something.

Xun Ao was walking in with a courier box at this time, and seeing him sigh, he was a little puzzled: "Is it not going well with the rabbit?"

"No, Teacher Tutu agreed to go and tell Erlang God, uh, I should have agreed." Xia Dongli sat up from the futon with his knees on his knees, and then said sadly while packing up: "I just thought that this happened. They will definitely not come again after that, unfortunately I haven't got my autograph yet."

Seeing that Xun Yao was silent, Xia Dongli thought for a while, and was a little annoyed: "Ah, I should ask Teacher Tutu to help me get an autograph first, and then talk to him. Mistake!"

Xun Yao slowly turned his eyes away, not wanting to make any comments on his little partner's crazy behavior of wanting to sign.He put down the box in his hand and tried to change the subject: "This is a courier that just arrived. It's a bit heavy. What did you buy?"

"It's a kennel." Xia Dongli leaned over to take a look, and then confirmed his judgment. He took out the scissors and opened the express box with a couple of clicks. Inside was thick wood wrapped in air bubble film.

This kind of material is not for indoor use at first glance, Xun Yao raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw it: "Put it in the yard?"

"No, put it on the roof." Xia Dongli explained while taking out the things, "Dami doesn't like this kind of house-like nest, this one is for the beasts."

Xun Yao was a little hesitant: "To ridicule...?"

"The little pottery beast you made is not easy to fix, and it has not been baked in the oven. If it is placed directly, it will fade after being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, so I wanted to buy a shrine online and put it in .”

"But the shrines on the Internet are all for indoor use and are not waterproof. I searched for a long time, and finally found a shop that said they accept customization. As a result, I asked, not only the construction period has to wait for a long time, but also five-figure wages! But Fortunately, I swiped a few more pages, browsed and browsed, and I saw this!"

Xia Dongli spread out the tools and the installation diagram and put them in front of Xun Yu, then reached out and clicked on the installation diagram, and said with some complacency, "Look, doesn't this shape resemble a shrine?"

Xun Yao: "..."

It's quite similar, and the amount on the delivery note is only three digits.

Xia Dongli said with some satisfaction: "When I bought it, I specially picked one with a window, and the view is very good. There are gaps in the wooden boards under it, so even if it rains heavily, it will never be flooded."

Xun Yao remained silent, and he took the manual and screwdriver Xia Dongli handed over with a complicated expression.

An hour later, the little pottery beast made by Xun Yao moved into the new home.

Xia Dongli was satisfied with the small house he had carefully selected. He looked left and right, and always felt that something was missing.

——Oh, by the way, there is a lack of offerings and incense burners!

Xia Dongli immediately ran downstairs to bring up some apples and pears, and he also carried a plastic bag and a small bench.

The small bench is placed in the kennel... Ah, no, it is used as an altar in front of the shrine.Xia Dongli arranged three apples and one pear in the shape of a hill on the "offering table", and then placed an incense burner on the other side in a decent manner.

This incense burner is Xia Dongli's collection. It is a high imitation of a Western Han Dynasty wrong Jinbo mountain furnace that he bought in the museum when he was traveling in Hebei.

The price of the imitation peripherals that can be placed in the museum is naturally not cheap. They invite experts to make them. The materials, craftsmanship and even the leather color used are as close as possible to the original ones. The art collection value is very high.

But on the one hand, it is too expensive. On the other hand, the shape of Boshan incense burner is bean-shaped, and its use is limited. If you are not careful, you will feel overwhelming. Moreover, there are also requirements for the spices used, so not many people buy them.

When Xia Dongli asked to see the real thing, a thick layer of dust had already accumulated on the box!

Although things are expensive, they are really worth the money.

He opened the incense cover, took out a bag of incense ash and poured it into his abdomen, pressed the ash skillfully, made a tower incense with a mold, and lit the fire with a stick of incense. After a while, the green smoke and aroma turned around in the abdomen of the incense burner.

Xun Yao watched quietly from the side, the smoke was suppressed by the stove cover, and the fragrance was released quietly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with certainty: "It smells good, it's different from the previous fragrance. "

The fragrance from before?Xia Dongli thought about it for a while, ah, did you mean when the silkworm god was sacrificed?Xiaoyu can actually tell the difference between the two, yes!

Many people are naturally insensitive to traditional spices such as wood oil, and Xia Dongli also met people who couldn't distinguish agarwood from sandalwood.At that time, they were traveling in Hainan with a group. If Xia Dongli hadn't pulled him away, that person would have been severely beaten in the scenic spot.

Xia Dongli happily explained to Xun Yu: "Well, this is Jiangzhen incense, the last time it should be Hexiang mainly made of sandalwood, that one is for sacrificial offerings, this one is for entertainment, and the category is different. "

"The wood I bought was directly picked. At that time, I watched the master cut and powdered it. The purity is very high. But this piece of oil is too high. It has not completely dried out after half a year, so I can only make it Taxiang, if you make incense seals, it will go out."

"But this stove is just right for the incense tower." He turned the lid slightly, adjusted the angle at which the smoke escaped, and then pushed the incense burner in the direction of Xun Yao.

Xia Dongli pointed to the incense burner enthusiastically and said: "The design of this stove is very exquisite. I don't mean the shape. You see, the smoke in this part comes out directly from the mouth on the top of the mountain. This is a straight line of smoke, but this Part of..."

He lit the other half with the incense stick that was used to ignite the fire, and said: "The top here is sealed, the smoke can't go up, it can only sink, and after it settles to a certain extent, it will float away from the hole at the bottom. Come out. It has both backflow and linear incense in one incense burner, which is a craftsmanship more than 2000 years ago."

"However, this stove also has high requirements for spices. If you use incense seals, you have to burn two strands together to see the effect. But the incense tower smokes a lot. After a while, you can see the green smoke from the mountain peaks. The animals in the mountains are clearly visible. At the foot of the mountain It's a cloud-wreathed scene."

Xun Yao tilted his head slightly, pretending to be listening carefully.

His brown eyes stared intently at the incense burner, following Xia Dongli's description, his eyes wandered over the incense burner, and he nodded from time to time to affirm Xia Dongli's description. very happy.

He directly dragged a futon up and put it on the side of the small bench, and said to Xun Yu: "You sit here! The tower fragrance is strong, it is not suitable for lighting indoors, and it is good to burn it here. Come here! I will teach you how Making pagoda incense and fragrant seal script. It’s actually quite simple, just practice more.”

Half an hour later, Xia Dongli, who was enthusiastically teaching Xun Yao to write Xiangzhuan, received a call from the logistics point in the town, asking him to go get the express now.

Because the little brother over there was really in a hurry, so he could only tell Xiao Yu, who had just started, to be careful of the candle, and then drove away in a hurry.

Xia Dongli bought a lot of things this time, but the hydrangea seedlings with the fresh label on them were the most urged by the logistics guy.

Hydrangea likes water and is half shade tolerant, so it can be planted on a pergola beside a small pond.

Its flowering period is midsummer, and now it has formed flower buds. The wisteria in Xia Dongli's family is about to wither, and it will just take over the wisteria's class in a few days.

However, although this plant has a strong skin, it actually likes a warm and humid climate and is not resistant to severe cold.Although according to the climate of Xiaojin Village, the hydrangeas should not freeze to death, but frostbite on the branches exposed to the ground may be unavoidable.

Xia Dongli bought the hydrangea variety with the strongest vitality—Endless Summer. This variety blooms on old branches. If it is damaged in winter, it will affect the next year's reflowering.

Therefore, if he wants to see the flowers well, he has to spend a lot of effort to plant the flowers in flower pots first, and then bury them in the soil.

This will not affect the viewing of flowers, and when the weather turns cold, you can dig out the flowers and move them indoors for the winter.The only disadvantage is that the size of potted plants will inevitably be limited, but the flaws are not hidden.

Rice is always full of curiosity about new arrivals. It eagerly paws at the cardboard box, curious about what is in the box that Xia Dongli didn't open.

Xia Dongli was holding a flower pot and a shovel in one hand at this time, and seeing the dog's appearance, he simply opened the box for it. Inside were thick leather tubes and a weird plastic device.

"Wang?"

What's this?Is it Wang's new toy?

Rice tentatively opened her mouth to bite the pipe, and was immediately pulled away by Xia Dongli.It also turned its head in disgust and gave two peeps, trying to spit out the plastic smell in its mouth.

"This is not for food!" Xia Dongli glanced at the plastic pipe. Fortunately, the rice was useless, and the pipe itself was relatively strong.

Seeing that the pipe was not broken, Xia Dongli breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a farm tool for watering! As long as you connect this, you can drag it to water when you lack water in summer!"

He attached a shorter piece of pipe to the plastic fixture and then to the outlet of the rainwater collector.As soon as the water flowed through, the small appliance at the front began to swing from side to side, and the water droplets immediately spewed out of the nozzle quickly and evenly.

Swipe... Swipe... Swipe... The rice's head swayed from side to side following the direction of the water drops, and the ground in front of it was soon soaked.

"Wang?"

Rice yelled suspiciously, is this water used to wash Jio?

etc!This is wrong!

Xia Dongli was shocked. When he saw the details of the baby, he said that the lift could reach 8-10 meters. Now it is 10 centimeters! !

Is there something wrong?Or is there a part he missed?Xia Dongli began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find instructions.

While he was studying the instructions word by word, there were two knocks on the door of his house.When Assistant Xiao Li walked in slowly carrying a woven bag, the scene he entered was a messy room.

Not to mention all kinds of messy pipes in the yard, the owner of the small yard is standing in the middle of the "garbage dump" and looking at him with burning eyes: "Assistant Li! You came just in time, help me see if this thing is Isn't it broken? Its water is too small."

Assistant Li glanced at the nozzle that sprayed small water droplets outside and the interface connected to the rainwater collector, and immediately understood.

He is also experienced in farm tools, and immediately knew where the problem was, and was about to answer it, when he saw smoke coming from the roof of Xia Dongli's house, and he was shocked: "Xiao Xia, is your old house right?" on fire?!"
