Pick up a dragon cub to farm

Don't pass Xiao Qi, Nan Zuo went to the field, and first took care of the newly reclaimed pond inside and out.He removed all the excess garbage and weeds in the pond, and poured all the fish, shrimps and snails caught yesterday into the puddle—the multiplication of snails exceeded his imagination, and the number of snails caught the day before yesterday was only about a dozen. When I got up this morning, the number had soared by more than ten times, and the wooden barrels were too crowded to fit.

After arranging the fish and shrimp, Nanvort took out rapeseed, beans, rice, leaves and other bait picked from Wen Yuren's vegetable garden and fed them.

At that time, all kinds of small fish and shrimps they caught in the mountains were cruising in the pond, including catfish, crucian carp, sea bream...they are all fish species that the local people like to eat, and they are also wild fish .

There are few rivers near Xizhuang. It is not easy for the villagers to eat fish once, and it is not easy to get fish and shrimp in the restaurants in the neighboring villages and Fengjian Town. Therefore, the market price of fish is relatively expensive, and ordinary people cannot eat it often. .

In Xizhuangli, there are currently only a few households engaged in fish trading, and they all go fishing in partnership, and only go out every three to five days.However, Nan Guo currently does not have the ability to go fishing far away. His plan is to raise some fish and shrimps in the pond by himself, and sell them directly to villagers in Xizhuang or neighboring villages at a low price.

The taste of wild fish is strong enough, but the bad thing is that they are all thin and small, not enough to fit between the teeth!Nan Wei stood by the pond with his hips akimbo, looking at the small fish and shrimps at the bottom of the water, his brain whirling.

What should I do to make these fish and shrimp grow up quickly?

——Of course, feed them more and better food!

One good thing about raising fish is that they are not very picky eaters, they eat what they are given, and they don't want people to bring food to their mouths to be interested in eating.Nan Zuo squatted by the pond, watching the little fish wagging their tails happily in the clear water, feeling very happy.

Vegetable leaves and flower seeds in the field should be good bait for fish.But in order to grow delicious and strong, Nanzuo believes that it is useless to rely on vegetarianism alone.It is necessary to decide what kind of food is best to feed according to the preference and absorption capacity of each fish.

According to Nan Zuo's thinking, eating meat can grow the most meat.How can I eat vegetable leaves every day?Small fish should like to eat meat, such as worms and smaller shrimps and snails.But not all fish like to eat snails, and fish prefer to eat bugs.

Just do what you say, Nan Zuo rolled up his sleeves, and went to find Xiao Chong.But he wouldn't be so stupid as to catch them back worm by worm.At this time, the secret weapon borrowed from Wen Yuren can come in handy.

Nan Zuo took out a small crock from the small package he was carrying.When the lid was opened, the aroma immediately overflowed.He took a deep breath and shook his head intoxicated.

"It smells so good..."

These are some of the discarded nectar stored in Wen Yuren's home.Their fineness is not as good and pure as the nectar sold in the market, with more impurities and turbidity, so they are not suitable for entering the human population, and it is not difficult to attract some small insects.

Nanvort spread the nectar evenly on the ground, forming a small square, allowing the fragrance of honey to spread.Then, start waiting.

While waiting, he walked to the other side of the flower field—an open space that hadn't been fully planted yet.He took out something from his pocket, it was the purple potato that Lu Xiaoqi gave him earlier.

Most of the potatoes grown by Xizhuang villagers are ordinary yellow, with occasional red.But the potato in Nan Zuo's hand was a real pure purple potato.When Wen Yuren saw it, he guessed that it might not be a native crop of Qingguo, but might have been brought from a foreign country, and it was somehow acquired by Lu Xiaoqi's family.

Purple potatoes are delicious and have a crispier texture than ordinary potatoes.But it is obviously not suitable for growing in Xizhuang, otherwise, only a small half of Lu Xiaoqi's purple potatoes would survive.

Nan Zuo weighed the heavy potatoes in his hands. He expected that although the purple potatoes might fetch a good price, the corresponding risks were also extremely high.If you don't master the method well, it is very likely that you will just fetch water from a bamboo basket, and your work will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Nan Zuo put the potato back into his trouser pocket.Before figuring out the law of purple potatoes, he decided to seek a steady victory and choose a more secure crop.

Spreading his palms, Nan Zuo looked at the large handful of melon seedlings in his palm and grinned.

Almost no one in Xizhuang grows purple potatoes, but many people grow watermelons.Midsummer is about to enter, and people's demand for quenching their thirst is increasing day by day. If you start to plant a small piece of watermelon now, you will definitely not lose money by then.

This melon seedling was mentioned by Wen Yuren when he went to buy watermelons at the entrance of the village, but they immediately gave him some seeds and melon seedlings.It seems that what Lu Xiaoqi said is true, although the villagers don't often deal with Wen Yuren, they still think of Wen Yuren's kindness in their hearts, and they will help him generously when he needs help.

As soon as he said it, Nan Nuo rolled up his sleeves, dug out holes on the ground with a shovel, and planted the melon seedlings in the soil at roughly equal intervals, supplemented by the secret protection method, so that the young Miaomiao could quickly adapt and integrate into the soil. in the soil environment.

Watermelon is not a very fragile species, so after Nanzhuo carefully collected the soil, he didn't care too much, and only waited for the buds to grow well before watering.

After the cultivation of the watermelon seedlings was completed, he found that there was still some space left, so he took out the purple potatoes from his pocket again.The fingertips secretly stimulated the aura, and the potatoes grew faster, and soon sprouted.

Nan Wei knew nothing about the growing conditions of purple potatoes.To be on the safe side, after he cut the potatoes into pieces, he buried several clusters of potato sprouts in the ground, and only used the secret method of giving birth to one of the sprouts.Fortunately, he was lucky, the first experiment allowed the potato sprouts to grow rapidly, and the little head came out of the ground tremblingly.

After successfully taking the first step, the next thing to consider is fertilization, watering, and light.

Nan Guo slightly looked at the little buds in the ground affectionately, and it was far from the time to water them, so let's wait patiently for them to grow up slowly.

Afterwards, he walked back to the pond, and was satisfied to see the large number of insects that had been attracted to the ground previously coated with nectar.

He picked up a branch and carefully spread the nectar on it. One end was connected to the worms on the ground, and the other end was connected to the surface of the pond. He watched the silly worms follow the nectar and walked into the pond by themselves, attracting a lot of attention. The fish in the pond floated up quickly, opening their mouths to grab it.

After finishing all this, Nan Zuo went to inspect the flower fields as usual.Most of the flower seedlings are still short, with only a small tip emerging, but they are all growing well, so far there is nothing unusual.

Watermelons, potatoes, fish ponds, and fragrant flowers... Looking at the thriving seedlings in the field, Nan Zuo raised his face proudly.He had to let Wen Yuren see his abilities!Let him know that he is not a freeloader.

After the work in the field was finished, Nanvort and Icemouse came to the nearby mountain to pick some round mushrooms and berries.

When he was on the mountain in the past, the little dragon cub relied on wild vegetables and tree fruits to satisfy his hunger most of the time.It is rare to find delicious and non-toxic wild vegetables in the mountains, but there are many delicious and non-toxic tree fruits.

Now that it has formed a contract with Wen Yuren, it has enough confidence to enter the mountain.

In a place where there is no one, Nanvortex returns to its original form.Looking at the tall wild tree in front of him, the little dragon cub took a run-up with short legs, then jumped up, quickly flapped the wings that had been useless for a long time, and flew up unsteadily.While flying, it grabbed the trunk with its small claws and climbed up, and soon climbed into the leaves of the tree.

"Ooooh!"

The dragon cub let out a joyful cry, clawed away the layers of leaves with his little paws, and then saw the wild mulberries under the leaves.A large cluster of crimson fruits hung on the branches, bending the branches.

With a few claps of its claws, the little dragon cub picked off a bunch of overripe mulberries and carefully carried them to the ground.The ice mouse immediately went forward, smacking its lips and eating happily.

Nan Zuo picked two more bunches of mulberries from the tree, and they landed slowly with their wings flapping.It intends to keep a bunch for itself as a snack, and give Wen Yuren a taste of the other.

There are many mulberries on the tree, but it didn't grab all of them at once.One is that there are too many fruits and it is impossible to finish them all, and the other is that it keeps in mind the truth taught to it by the seniors of the Dragon Clan.Everything cannot be perfect, and the growth of a dragon must absorb a lot of spiritual energy from the sun, moon, mountains and waters, so one should have awe and gratitude for the heavens, earth, mountains and fields.

After accepting the gift of nature, one cannot be greedy for a moment of happiness, or cut off the way of life of others.

Therefore, whether it is picking fruits or mushrooms in the mountains, Nanvort will not take all of them insatiably, but keep some of them to express his feedback and gratitude to the mountains, rivers and secluded forests.

The little dragon cub held two bunches of mulberry fruits in his paws, and led his brother home happily.

After entering the small courtyard, it yelled loudly, but no one responded.Guessing that Wen Yuren hadn't returned home, the little dragon cub went to the stove by himself, and put the bunch of mulberries for Wen Yuren on the table.

The kitchen was quiet, and Nan Zuo wandered around leisurely, and found half a pot of unused flour under the table.The color of the flour looked very good, and it couldn't resist stretching out its claws, dipped a finger in it, and then put it to its mouth to lick it.

At this moment, a cold male voice came from behind: "Greedy dragon, what are you doing sneakily in the kitchen? You even eat raw flour, you really are not picky eaters."

Caught off guard, Nan Voo groaned, raised his claws, and almost knocked over the flour basin.The man lightly reached out and hooked the soft fur on its neck, and pulled it back.

"Hands and feet... Let me give you a nickname 'Long Ermao', as there are only two fluffs on the top of your head."

"Aww!" Nanvortex shook his head desperately.It pointed at the mulberry fruit it placed on the table with all its strength, and pursed its mouth pitifully.

While joking, Wen Yuren stepped forward to set the flour basin on the shelf, and looked at the fresh and tender mulberries on the table in a blink of an eye.

"Where did this thing come from?" Wen Yuren picked up the mulberry, put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's very fragrant. Is it a wild fruit?"

Naruto nodded.

"Give me something to eat?"

Nod again.

Seeing the obedient appearance of the little dragon cub, the man casually rubbed its soft crown.Then I took out a basin and soaked the mulberries in the water.

Nan Guo stuffed fresh mulberries into his mouth with his claws, and watched him silently preparing dinner in the stove.The firewood is lit, and the curling smoke rises and rises along the chimney of the earthen house, and gradually climbs into the sky under the setting sun...

Sitting on a small stool in the kitchen, Xiaolong looked at the verdant green hills outside, the lingering smoke, and the small earthen houses at the foot of the hill. Longsheng lived a leisurely life.

It couldn't help but think that since it left the peaceful and beautiful Shenlong Valley, it has experienced too many things along the way.Life outside is much more difficult than in the valley, but Nan Zuo is somewhat obsessed with such a life full of challenges, and does not want to go back in despair and become a lazy dragon that eats, drinks and sleeps all day long.

Excluding the thrills and difficulties, life at the foot of the mountain is still very good.

And, most importantly...

Nan Zuo unconsciously glanced to the side.It looked at the back of the man cooking, and his tail flicked.But now it still doesn't understand why it has this association.

While the soup was boiling in the pot, Wen Yuren suddenly turned sideways and winked at the little dragon cub.

"How about making a jam pie with mulberries?"

Nan Zuo was taken aback, "Oh?"

"I met the youngest son of the old Zhang family next door in the flower field today." Wen Yuren said while gently stirring the spoon, "He goes to Fengjian Town every morning to sell cakes, selling all kinds of cakes. "

cake?Nanvort didn't eat this kind of thing very often, so he stretched out his claws and scratched his hair suspiciously.

"Cake is a round, hot food made of noodles. It's delicious." Wen Yuren made a circle for it, "Old Zhang's family makes all kinds of cakes, such as... potato cakes, pumpkin cakes , Egg pancakes. His 'Zhangji Cake Shop' is quite famous in Fengjian Town."

"Wooooo." Nan Zuo nodded with a half-understood understanding.Although it hadn't seen all the cakes Wen Yuren mentioned, just hearing those few descriptions made its tongue ready to twitch and smack in its mouth.

"Want to eat?" Wen Yuren keenly caught its little movements.Seeing the young dragon shrank his neck, he said: "It's a good thing to want to eat. But since you love to eat so much, are you interested in doing it with me?"

Do?Do you cook?

Nan Zuo was slightly dazed.It didn't expect Wen Yuren to invite it.He lowered his head and looked at his pair of claws, each of which had five fingers, which was a lot compared to the human race.

Does this mean that what the human race can do, its cubs can also do?

Thinking of this, Nan Zuo's eyes brightened.It stood up from the small stool and walked unsteadily towards the man.

"Aww."

My second brother, teach me how to make cakes!

The man was stirring the vegetable and egg soup when he suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled slightly.Turning his face to the side, he saw the little dragon cub standing next to his legs, with his watery eyes wide open, looking at him expectantly.

He coughed lightly, "Nan Dio, I think it's more convenient for you to transform into a human form to make cakes."

Nanvort puffed up his cheeks unconvinced.What, discriminate against dragons?It walked forward, dragged out the basin filled with flour from the shelf, and pointed in: "Wooooo!"

Wen Yuren smiled and said, "You little dragon claws, it's no wonder you can make face to face!"

Seeing him making fun of himself, Nan Zuo was so angry that his crown stood on end.It scooped a large spoonful of flour from the flour bag under the shelf and mixed it with water.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Without waiting for Wen Yuren to stop him, the little dragon cub quickly slipped out of the stove with the flour and the basin in his arms.Before leaving, he roared stubbornly: "Ooooh!"

Wen Yuren raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

Forget it, there is still a lot of flour at home, let this little dragon cub play around for a while!

The man continued to cook the vegetable soup.While he was out of sight, the dragon cub first went to get some water from the bucket by the well to wash his limbs and body.Then it put the basin on the ground, turned around, put the tip of its cleaned tail into the flour basin, and stirred it up!

"Ooooh!" the little dragon cub clenched his small fists and shouted with high spirits.Its tail is obviously much more useful than its short claws. The tip of the tail is inserted into the flour basin and stirs loudly, and the white flour paste is flying around.

While stirring, he swayed and twisted his body rhythmically.

After Wen Yuren filled the hot soup, he came out of the yard to take a look.

"South Vortex!!"

Wen Yuren didn't know whether to laugh or cry.This eccentric dragon cub actually came up with such a plan!

The young dragon screamed proudly.Its tail is much stronger than its short claws, and it is quite flexible, it can be used as a hand.While Wen Yuren was watching it, the little dragon cub quickly twisted his body, adjusted his trajectory in the basin, and used the secret method of fermentation by the way.

A dough ball is quickly kneaded into shape.

Wen Yuren sneered, "It's really decent."

Hearing his affirmation, Xiaolong swayed from side to side and stirred more vigorously.But then the man laughed and said, "However, I don't know how to eat the dough you knead with your tail."

"Hum!" Xiaolong snorted heavily.If you don't eat, don't eat, Benlong eats by himself!The tail that hangs in the air all day without landing is much stronger than your human hands!

After kneading the dough balls, Xiaolong carried the basin and rushed to the stove.It just wants Wen Yuren to see that without him, it can make delicious cakes by itself!Moreover, don't give him to eat!

Nanvortex had never made pancakes before, but this was not a hindrance.

Put the prepared flour balls on the stove, but the cub was not tall enough, so he dragged a small stool over and stood on it unsteadily.Knead the flour left and right with a pair of claws, and knead the flour into balls.

"Wow!"

"Ok?"

The little dragon cub wheezed, kneaded the oil and salt into it, and then used a little secret method to ferment it.Then, it's ready to cook.
