Start being a Shennong today

"You really want to pick corn. Now the machine is very convenient, and it is easier than manual." A villager saw the tourists who were about to pick corn, and they couldn't bear to persuade them.

Seeing Nian Kai's pretty face, the old lady next to her greeted her loudly and said, "That's the reason. If you want to try breaking corn, you can just break a few of them. You don't have to bend this one. When the time comes, you can break it." It’s not worth it when your face is tanned.”

A few young people in the team were a little unhappy when they heard this. They just broke corn. What's the problem? I underestimated them. Thinking of this, I wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Nian Kai's actions.

Feeling the kindness of the old lady, Nian Kai raised the straw hat on his head, showed his face and smiled at the old lady: "Thank you, old lady, we are all people who have never done farm work, and we just came to experience it. If we really can't stand it, we Just give up and never try to be brave.”

"Hey, your body is the most important thing." The old lady grinned, "You must pay attention, if you feel unwell, you should come out and take a rest. It's hot these days, and there are many cases of heat stroke as a result of working on a hot day. .”

"Okay, we'll keep an eye out."

Seeing that the time was almost up, the tourists stood together according to their original groups.Tao Ran pointed them to the two big bamboo buckets they brought, and shouted: "Here is mung bean soup, come and have a drink if you are thirsty."

After hearing that there was mung bean soup, the tourists were much happier. After thanking Tao, they set off for the corn grove.

The corn in Taoyuan Village grows well, first of all, it is tall.The corn planted in Taoyuan Village used to be artificially cultivated varieties. When it matures, it is about 1.5 meters six.

The second is that the corn cobs are big, and the ears on them are also yellow and dense.A team of girls walked to the edge of the cornfield and tried to break the corn first.Unexpectedly, after breaking it, I couldn't help but complain, "Is this corn a little hard to break?"

Everyone else found out that breaking the corn is quite laborious. I don't know if all the corn is like this, or only the corn from Taoyuan Village.

They didn't feel the difficulty until they had to squeeze in after the corn on the outside was broken.The corn in Taoyuan Village is tall. None of them are taller than 1.9 meters. After entering the corn forest, they found that there were corn leaves in all directions for four years.

Some people even touched the corn leaves and found that it was really quite cutting, and they could cut a hole if they were not careful, so they were even more careful.Some people who pay attention to appearance carefully press down their hats so as not to scratch their faces.

"I'm a bit regretful, these corn leaves are too powerful." Although the girl was wearing gloves, she still carefully pushed aside the corn leaves, grabbed the corn cobs with both hands, and broke them off with great effort, "It's hard to break, these leaves A little too hard."

"Take it slowly, it's just the beginning, keep going." The teammate persuaded her.In fact, he also regretted it a little, why suddenly he couldn't think about it in an abandoned house that didn't move every day.But now no one gave up, and he didn't have the face to be the first to speak.

Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou found a big tree by the side of the road and sat down under it.Tao Ran took out his phone and swiped casually.He doesn't often use the current online chat tool, especially when he gets home, he doesn't want to open it.

But without these, he would often miss some news from his friends, unable to communicate with each other, Tao Ran knew it himself, and made a rule for himself to read it every two days.No, nothing happened this time, so I just lay on Li Tingzhou's lap and scrolled through Moments, and didn't forget to like it.

"Yo, is it true or not?" Tao Ran was surprised when he saw a message from yesterday. After reading it twice to make sure it wasn't his own illusion, he raised his phone to Li Tingzhou.

"What's the matter?" Li Tingzhou reached out to take it. Li Tingzhou is also the kind of person who doesn't like social networking on the Internet, and he doesn't care a little more than Tao Ran. Although he has registered an account, he rarely opens it.According to him, all his acquaintances knew his temperament, and they would call directly if there was anything urgent.

On the mobile phone is his cousin Li Yuan's circle of friends, and there is a line written on it, "I feel that if I work harder, I can get out of the ranks of eating dog food." There are two pictures below, one looks completely different. Mango Mille-feuille like mango mille-feuille, the other is the empty plate after mango mille-feuille is eaten.

"How is it? Have you finished reading it? Look, this means that you are going to catch up with your girlfriend, right? Has he revealed it to you?" Tao Ran raised his head to observe Li Tingzhou's expression, still indifferent.

Li Tingzhou zoomed in on the picture and looked at it carefully, then returned the phone to Tao Ran, and said, "He didn't reveal anything to me, except that he asked me about my techniques for making mango mille-feuille two days ago."

"He made this Mango Melaleuca by himself?" Tao Ran was so startled that he sat up. As a college roommate, Tao Ran still knew a little about Li Yuan.Completely different from his cousin Li Tingzhou, Li Yuan is not only not good at cooking, but also has no interest at all.

Following the strength of Li Tingzhou's pressing on his shoulders, Tao Ran lay down on his lap again, rarely gossiping, trying to find out more information from Li Yuan's circle of friends, "I thought this Mango Melaleuca was the one he was chasing after. The girl did it, I didn't expect him to cook by himself, no wonder he made it like this, I don't know which girl made Li Yuan change so much, could it be the one he chatted with a while ago."

The more Tao Ran thought about it, the more he resembled it. In his previous life, Li Yuan and his classmate, a girl named Jiang Meng, finally got together. The two of them had always loved each other and helped him a lot.

After being reborn, he changed a lot of things, and because of his class uniform at graduation, Li Yuan met Jiang Meng, who was in charge of painting the portrait, in advance.One must know that in the previous life, Li Yuan was there to comfort Tao Ran, whom Tao Ran had just met because of an accident with his parents. Now that it was so long in advance, Tao Ran was always worried that he would lose their marriage.

When I was still at Li's house, everyone noticed that Li Yuan was holding his phone and started giggling. They all knew that something must have happened to him, but this person refused to reveal anything.Li Yuan, who has always been talkative, was able to hide his words, and everyone knew how important this was to him.

After returning to Taoyuan Village, Tao Ran occasionally made indirect remarks, but Li Yuan didn't seem to understand and didn't say anything.Tao Ran was embarrassed to ask directly, anyway, judging from the occasional chat with Li Yuan, this person has always been in a good mood, and he should not have encountered any major setbacks.Later, when I got busy, I temporarily put this matter on hold.

"Are you talking about Li Yuan's chat partner some time ago?" Tao Ran said joyfully, operating the mobile phone in his hand, hesitating for a long time whether he wanted Li Yuan or not.

Without Li Tingzhou's response, Tao Ran pushed him and continued, "Why don't you talk? I guess it's Jiang Meng from our class."

"Probably so." Li Tingzhou said calmly, pulled up a few grasses from the ground, and began to weave small animals.

Tao Ran finally felt that something was wrong, put down the phone directly, and looked at Li Tingzhou suspiciously.

Seeing Tao Ran looking at him with questioning eyes, Li Tingzhou helplessly stopped his hands, reached out to cover his eyes, lowered his head and kissed him, and then replied slowly: "Do you care too much about Li Yuan? And that...Jiang Meng? I remember the name quite clearly."

"You touched my face as soon as you finished touching the grass." Tao Ran moved Li Tingzhou's hand away, and looked at Li Tingzhou with a smile. Say it.

Tao Ran reluctantly leaned forward to kiss her, and then said jokingly, "I'm jealous, isn't it? Li Yuan is your younger brother and my friend for four years, so I can't care less? As for Jiang Meng, of course it's because of graduation." At that time, I thought it was her that Li Yuan had a crush on, so I remembered the name. I was busy doing experiments in college, let alone girls, I don’t know any boys in our class very well.”

Li Tingzhou did not respond to this, and did not want to admit that he said what he just said.

Seeing him like this, Tao Ran didn't continue this topic anymore, he played with the straw rabbit in his hand with a smile, and after looking at it, he reported the name of the dish: "Braised rabbit, cold eaten rabbit, shredded rabbit, wine stuffed rabbit..."

"Want to eat rabbit?"

Tao Ran nodded, and discussed with Li Tingzhou: "Why don't you raise rabbits in the village? They grow faster and grow more, so you can breed them."

After speaking, he sighed again. Now all wild animals are protected animals. When the two of them were looking for fruit trees on the back hillside last time, they found wild hedgehogs. After thinking about it, they still didn't catch them and eat them.Thinking of the wild rabbits that the villagers occasionally caught on the mountain when he was a child, Tao Ran thought it was a good idea to raise some rabbits.

Seeing Tao Ran sigh, Li Tingzhou thought it was because he couldn't eat rabbits, so he proposed: "If you really want to eat, I will ask the people from the private restaurant to bring a few when they come over. The quality of ingredients in the private restaurant is not bad, but it is not as good as the ones in the village. Definitely a little different than that."

Just as Tao Ran wanted to thank Li Tingzhou, he found someone walking this way, and quickly put the little rabbit in his pocket.It was Nian Kai who came over with a man and a woman, and before they came, Nian Kai shouted: "We were going to take a break and drink mung bean soup, but we couldn't find it, so you are hiding here."

"How do you call hiding? The sun came out before you saw it, so come and hide from the sun." Tao Ran stood up with the strength of Li Tingzhou's hand, and poured mung bean soup for the two of them.

This soup was brought over after being chilled in well water first. Even if the temperature has risen after being left for so long, it can still feel cool when it enters the mouth.

Nian Kai was not polite at all, and sat under the tree with mung bean soup, and called his friends who came with him to sit down and have a rest.

"You really know how to choose a place. Not only is there no sun, but there is also a breeze, tree shadows, butterflies flying and cicadas singing."

"Can you still be literary? Are you not tired of working?"

"Tired, I've never done farm work before, but this time I know it's great." Nian Kai touched his face with lingering fear, and was almost scratched by a corn leaf today.

"If you want to protect your face, using a straw hat might not work. Let me give you a suggestion, wear another hat." Tao Ran suggested, and Li Tingzhou knew from his tone that he was joking, so he waited aside and said nothing.

Nian Kai's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he restrained himself to wait a few seconds before asking, "What kind of hat? Kai had a good plan in mind, to buy more hats and match them with everyone, so that he would not be conspicuous.

"It's the kind of sun hat that covers your face, the kind with a cloth around your face."

The smile on Nian Kai's face collapsed for a while, he knew this kind of hat, it seemed to be for women, so should he buy it or not.

The girl who came with him was very happy and agreed with this plan.Knowing from Tao Ran that the supermarket in Yuanshan Town sells them, he immediately planned to find a villager to help him buy them.

Nian Kai struggled for a long time, but he was still too embarrassed to speak, and leaned against the tree dejectedly, and the cicadas on the tree became louder.

"Tao Ran, you see we work so hard, you feel sorry for your family Li Tingzhou and are unwilling to provide food, can you give us some other benefits."

"What benefits? Tell me about it."

"Just the cicadas on this tree."
