Pick up a dragon cub to farm

In July, calm as water.

Nanwo has always lived a full life.During the day, the blue-eyed boy led the little beasts to work in the field, taking good care of the flowers, potatoes and watermelons in the field; He recited mantras, meditated and practiced exercises, and did not return to the bed until late at night and fell into a deep sleep.

Spirit beasts that can practice like Nanvortex have a space called "spiritual pool" or "sea of ​​air" in their bodies, which is used as a storage place for spiritual energy.The "Static Water Classic" taught by Wen Yuren is the basic exercise of Qingyun Temple, and it is also the enlightenment exercise specially used by Taoists to expand the sea of ​​​​qi and lay a solid foundation.

Under the influence of "Static Water Sutra", Nan Zuo's practice has made astonishing progress.

As a pterosaur, its "sea of ​​air" is much wider than that of ordinary humans. After reading the scriptures, it is like a fish in water, expanding the sea of ​​air several times.

"It can be said that 'the book has its own golden house'!" Nan Zuo sighed with the sentences he had just learned.

This rapid progress even Wen Yuren, who was hailed as a genius among Taoists, was secretly surprised.He had to admit that the Dragon Clan did have a racial talent that was incomparable to humans in the skill of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

The days passed.Compared with the little dragon cub's progress in cultivation, the growth of the melons, fruits and flowers in the field is also extremely gratifying.Towards the end of July, a batch of watermelons planted by Nanvortex in early summer are becoming more and more mature, from thin melon seedlings to big and round green watermelons.In short -

"It's reached the point where you can eat it."

At noon that day, Nan Zuo was wearing a straw hat and squatting on the ground with the pink cat.

The scorching sun and the hot weather, ice rats and crystal salamanders couldn't stand the scorching heat, and ran to rest by the pond under the shade of trees. Only the boy and the kitten stayed in the melon field, left and right among the chubby watermelons. Look to the right, you're almost dazzled.

"Pink cat, tell me, which of these watermelons is sweeter and which one is the tastiest?"

Nan Zuo hesitated, looking at the pile of melons in front of him, uncertain to pay attention.The cat walked back and forth around him a few times, stretched out its paws and tapped this and that with its soft pads, and squealed happily when it heard the crisp sound of "bang bang" from that melon A "meow!"

"Okay, let's do this!"

Nanwo listened to Pink Cat's suggestion and picked a melon from the field.

With a round body and stripes of dark and light emerald green, this melon looks very good.He hugged the heavy watermelon, and brought the cat to the shade of the tree.

"Mice brothers, giant salamanders, come to eat melons!"

The ice mouse puffed up its cheeks, and gently blew a layer of ice particles towards the melon, which quickly lowered the temperature of the whole watermelon, which was scalding hot in the sun.The melon rind covered with frost immediately became icy cold.

Seeing that there was no one around, Nan Zuo quickly changed back to the appearance of a little dragon cub.It fixed the watermelon on the ground with its left claw, and then spread the aura evenly to its right claw.

The small arm was raised high, and the claws exerted power, and quickly slashed!

"Ooooh!" Iron Sand Palm!

"Crack!" The watermelon split into pieces in an instant.

Four claws with different shapes stretched out quickly, and the little beasts each took half of them.The bright red flesh is revealed, juicy, fresh and glistening in the sun.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "Nanzuo ate half of the melon in one gulp, and immediately rolled his eyes with joy.

After working for half a day in the scorching sun, it was the time when I was tired and thirsty. In addition to the scorching heat, my body seemed to be surrounded by billowing heat waves.Don't eat a big mouthful of watermelon, it's sweet, cold, and icy in your mouth.

"Sucking, sucking..." The bright red juice oozes from the melon pulp, leaving a sweet aroma between the lips and teeth.

The little dragon cub ate the piece of melon in his paws with a click, hissing and panting from the cold.It wiped its mouth and pounced on the remaining watermelon again, howling with joy.The rest of the friends also had a good time eating.

Nan Zuo picked up a piece of watermelon again with his paws, and suddenly, a sense of happiness welled up: he sat with his friends under the shade of a tree by the pond, stretched comfortably on the hottest and most tiring days, Eating the sweetest and most refreshing watermelon.

Now it has Arita, a partner, and a family that takes care of it like the dragon seniors of Shenlong Valley.The crops in the field are growing slowly, and my practice is going smoothly. There is nothing more beautiful than this.

It is the Southern Vortex—it is simply the winner of Longsheng!

The little dragon cub slapped his hands and jumped up from the ground.It wandered unsteadily into the field, carefully selected a plump melon, and picked it off carefully.

"Aww..." Nan Guo picked up the watermelon and walked out of the field.It can't wait to show Wen Yuren the fruits of its own farming!

Wen Yuren was working in his own flower field not far away.In the hot weather, he was still wearing a long black gown, a hood and a bamboo hat that covered most of his face, and worked hard to water the flowers one by one to escape the heat.

Looking at his slender and straight back from a distance, Nan Zuo was horrified - he didn't know how this man could bear to wrap himself in that appearance under the heat that could make the little dragon cub peel off his skin.

The little dragon cub wailed and yelled at Wen Yuren's back several times.

The man turned around and saw the young dragon running towards him happily holding a melon in his arms.

"Ooooh!" My second, it's hot, you can eat a melon!

Wen Yuren took the melon from the little dragon's claw, "Is this grown in your field?"

"Aww!" Yes!The little dragon cub held his head high, his tail wagging in triumph.It watched Wen Yuren luckily split the watermelon with his bare hands, and picked up a piece of flesh from it.

After taking a sip, the man didn't say anything, and started to eat slowly without saying a word.

"Wow?"

Nanwo's big eyes fixed on his face tightly.It desperately wanted to hear Wen Yuren brag about his watermelon, so it stomped its feet anxiously.

But helplessly, even though the man pulled down his hood and exposed his cheeks, he was still expressionless when eating melons.

Hearing the movement of the young dragon beside him, the man glanced at it.Knowing that this dragon cub really wanted to know his views on watermelon, he deliberately wanted to tease it.

Under the anxious and expectant eyes of the young dragon, Wen Yuren picked up the handkerchief and wiped his lips slowly.

"Dragon cub, you have to be calm when things happen, do you understand?"

The young dragon's cheeks puffed up anxiously.It snorted dissatisfiedly, and said loudly to Wen Yuren's left ear: "Ooooh!"

Huaiwu Er, how dare you deliberately play Benlong! !

Caught off guard by being yelled at close range, Wen Yuren's eardrums trembled.He frowned, grabbed the back of its neck with one hand, and lifted it up.

Seeing the domineering look of the little dragon cub, the man stuffed the unfinished melon pulp into its mouth with the other hand: "Little stupid dragon, gag you and see if you still howl."

Nanvortex's mouth was filled with the full melon flesh, and its whining sound was blocked in its throat, so it couldn't make it, so it had to obediently chew its own melon.Bright red and sweet watermelon juice overflowed from its mouth, dripping down its chin onto the ground.

Wen Yuren was sitting in the shade by the edge of the field holding the humming dragon cub.While stroking the young dragon's soft belly, he leisurely ate a piece of melon, which felt very refreshing.

Whenever the little dragon cub writhed in his arms, he would unceremoniously rub its belly or pinch the tip of its tail.He rubbed the naughty and active young dragon until he was submissive, lay in his arms, squinted his eyes and moaned non-stop.

"Dragon Cub, you have almost learned the Jingshui Jing, follow me to sell melons in the town tomorrow."

Nan Zuo closed his eyes halfway, and heard the man's deep voice behind his ears. He didn't bother to think too much, and nodded while kicking his short legs at will.

"Oh woo woo!"

=====

After the first batch of watermelons were planted, Nanvort followed suit, using the spiritual energy he had absorbed from the earth veins to stimulate the growth of other melon seedlings.Not long after, a large number of melon seedlings came out along with the times, and they sold well all the way in the hot and thirsty atmosphere.Especially here in Xizhuang, the village's terrain and sunlight are not suitable for planting crops that require a lot of water, but Nanvortex's secret method can overcome the shortcomings of the environment.

His family's watermelons quickly became famous in Xizhuang, and they didn't even have to travel far to the town.In Xizhuang alone, there was an endless stream of villagers who came to buy watermelons—it was difficult for them to grow delicious watermelons themselves, so they simply came to Wen Yuren to buy them.

In this way, Wen Yuren made a lot of money by selling watermelons without leaving home.

On the other hand, the picking and cultivation of wild fruits has not stopped.Nan Guo not only picked grapes, mulberries and other wild fruits in the mountains, but also transplanted them to Wen Yuren's open space for planting.In this way, there is no need to go to the deep mountains again to get fresh wild fruits.

It's midsummer.When Nan Guo and Wen Yuren pushed the cart to Fengjian Town, they found that the stalls and shops in the town had also changed in response to the midsummer season.

Many small stalls selling fruit snacks have appeared on the street following the trend, and there are also some selling deep mountain fruit like Nan Wei and the others, but the quantity is not very large.

Facing the cool food all over the street, Nan Zuo didn't feel anxious, on the contrary, he liked the competitive atmosphere.Juice, sweet tea, and popsicles are also sold in other stores, but even if the raw materials are similar or the same, different people will create completely different tastes.

Nan Nuo confidently played the signboard, opened the big umbrella, and placed the fruit, the ice bucket and the small bowl one by one.

The stall reopened, and after a while, regular customers came to pick out the fruit and squeeze it into juice.The crowd gradually gathered in front of the stall, and the business quickly entered the right track...

In the midst of being busy, Nan Zuo passed through the crowd, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a gaze quietly watching here in the dark.He looked over calmly, but saw a familiar face.

That gaze came from another vendor on this snack street, a man surnamed Jiang.Nan Guo felt that the person looked familiar, and recalled it carefully, he remembered that the person seemed to be called Jiang Wen.

In the past, when they were selling wild fruit snacks, this man named Jiang Wen was also selling herbal tea next door; but now, looking from afar, I saw a sign in front of Jiang Wen's stall that said "Iced Juice" Four characters.

When they returned to the town, Jiang Wen didn't sell herbal tea, but directly replaced Nanwo's juice shop, and even the varieties of fruit sold were exactly the same as Nanwo's before.

He seemed to intend to take advantage of the time when Nan Zuo didn't come to steal their business, and directly take over their ready-made old customers.

At this time, Jiang Wen crossed layers of crowds and cast an unexplained gaze at Nan Vortex, which made the young man alert immediately.

When Nanzuo observed the man, the middle-aged male customer who came to buy grape juice also noticed this.

This uncle has dealt with Nan Wei a few times, and he is quite familiar with him.Seeing Nan Guo looking into the distance in the busy space, he said casually: "You were not there a while ago, and there are other vendors in the town who sell tree fruit snacks. The young man named Jiang Wen next to you has also switched to selling fruit juice. It attracted a lot of customers.”

However, the uncle said with a chuckle, "The tree juice sold by Jiang Wen is not as good as yours. Either it is too sour or not cold. I think that not only the raw materials for making juice are different between your two families, but also the production techniques are different?"

Nan Nuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Our juice is mixed with nectar, so the taste will not be sour. Moreover, with the help of the ice mouse, the ice cubes can be stored for a long time, and they won't melt in a while."

"That's it." The uncle unconsciously looked at the ice bucket on the ground.There, the Icemouse was working hard, blowing cool air into the bucket filled with clean water.

"I still think your juice is the sweetest and the best, better than other ones! You didn't come before, I'm afraid you won't come again!" The uncle smiled at Nanzuo.

Nan Zuo smiled and said, "Thank you uncle for liking it, we will all come to town in the next summer."

With the help of the ice mouse, the iced juice made by him has sufficient and long-lasting coolness.Ordinary traders like Jiang Wen, without the help of ice mice, can only barely keep cool by wrapping ice cubes in quilts.

In this way, the ice cubes can't last long at high temperatures, and the effect on the temperature adjustment of the juice is limited, and the finished product naturally cannot achieve the best taste.

Nanvortex’s small stalls gathered popularity and reopened in a brisk manner.In contrast, although Jiang Wen directly copied Nanvortex's fruit juice products, he only learned the surface but not the essence, and the taste of his fruit juice was much inferior.

After Nanvortex's "authentic" iced juice came back to people's attention, his business quickly cooled down.

With no business left, Jiang Wen had his hands in his pockets idle, dangling around in the same place bored.

Look at my cold stall, and look at the bustling business on the other side.In contrast to these two comparisons, Jiang Wen became more and more annoyed in his heart, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Finally, Jiang Wen held his breath and strode towards Nanvortex.
