Start being a Shennong today

The snow fell very early this year. On the day when there was light snow in Taoyuan Village, the construction of Shennong Temple was finally completed.

In the hearts of Taoyuan villagers today, the status of Shennong Temple is no longer comparable to anything. It is Shennong Spring that brings them hope.

The newly built Shennong Temple is not big, with only one main hall, surrounded by courtyard walls on both sides of the main hall.On the left side of the courtyard is the Shennong Spring surrounded by clean pebbles, and on the right side was the small house where Grandpa Tao lived, but has now been transformed into a formal living place for temple blessings.

Grandpa Tao passed away a long time ago, and the village head revealed his intention to let Tao Ran be a temple blessing, but since Tao Ran didn't answer, he couldn't ask for it directly.

Tao Ran is worrying about the Shennong system. The Mingming Temple has been built, and the task of the system has not yet been completed.Tao Ran guessed that it was because the statue hadn't been transported to the temple yet.

The people of Taoyuan Village paid too much attention to the Shennong Temple, and they specially asked the old man to arrange the day of inviting the statue and unveiling the plaque.Finally, after considering various factors, a date was set.

The vegetables in Taoyuan Village have made sufficient preparations before this day, and they have to call to urge the children from other places to go home the day before, no matter whether they are working or going to school, none of them should be missing.

When Shennong Spring first appeared, these people gradually learned about the changes that Shennong Spring had brought to the village while chatting with family members who stayed in the village.

They didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it with their own eyes in a video chat with their family members, and after tasting the delicious pickled vegetables sent from home, they didn't believe it.They all agreed to the family's request, and they all asked for leave to go back to their hometown on this day.

That morning, the villagers in Taoyuan got up early, and even the children a few years old were pulled out of the warm blankets.

Everyone took a bath the day before, and today they all put on new clothes. They looked more formal than New Year's Eve, and gathered at the foot of Taoshan early.

The vehicle for transporting the statue arrived early at the request of Taoyuan Village. The village head specially selected a dozen strong men to carry the statue of Shennong up the mountain.

Fortunately, Taoshan is not too high. These days, when Uncle Tian led the construction team to construct, he casually repaired the road up the mountain.In addition, these villagers eat Taoyuan vegetables every day, and their bodies are very strong.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the gate of Shennong Temple, on which there was a plaque covered with a red cloth.It was written by an old man with good knowledge, character and calligraphy from all over the world, and it was carved by Mr. Tian Qi of Nantian Village.

Carefully place the statue in the temple, and the few people holding the sacrifice also gently put the sacrifice on the left front. When the auspicious day arrives, the firecrackers will sound, the red cloth will be removed, and the incense will be lit.

At the moment after offering incense, Tao Ran heard a systematic voice in his head: "The main task of rebuilding the Shennong Temple is completed, and the task reward will be drawn once."

The system began to issue the next task, and Tao Ran stopped listening.Because he looked up after the system sounded, and was shocked to find that the statue had changed a little. It was no longer a rigid artificial object, but it made people look like there was a real god.

The villagers in Taoyuan did not dare to breathe out, they followed the incense, and only dared to raise their heads after the incense was finished.Suddenly someone exclaimed: "God Shen Nong has appeared."

At this serious moment, it was obviously wrong to shout loudly, but these villagers had no time to think about it, and all looked up in shock.

After all, the village chief had done a lot of construction. He first calmed down and took the Taoyuan villagers to worship Shennong together, and then let everyone leave quietly.After these people went out, they all went to the Shennong Spring in the yard and took a sip each. They believed that the Shennong Spring was the blessing of Shennong.

Tao Ran followed the crowd and took a sip, silently studying the system's reward this time.The reward this time turned out to be a lottery system, which had never been an option on the system interface, and Tao Ran thought that it could only be obtained by completing tasks.

As for the lottery draw, it was quite crude. On the main interface of the system, there were two characters of lottery draw that kept flashing, which reminded people of poor-quality spam advertisements.The key is that it doesn't show what's in the prize pool, so Tao Ran doesn't feel any excitement.

After returning home, Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia went to cook lunch together.Tao Ran washed his hands carefully, prayed silently to Shennong in his heart, and then selected the lottery button.

Still nothing special, a bag of seeds fell directly in front of Tao Ran.It was still a familiar bag, but there was no picture in the middle, only four characters of special seeds.Tao Ran picked up the bag and took a closer look. At the bottom of the bag was a line of small words: "Ten random seeds, good or bad depends on luck."

Tao Ran looked at the last six words and was a little speechless. Why did he feel that the image of the Shennong system was a little bit broken.When I opened the bag, I saw ten seeds of different sizes inside.

Tao Ran picked up his phone and took pictures of them, ready to see if he could find out the true identity of these seeds.However, looking at the golden shining and extremely conspicuous seed among the ten seeds, Tao Ran always felt that this should not be an ordinary seed.

But there was no requirement for planting on it, so Tao Ran put it away after thinking about it, maybe the system rewarded the seed guide again that day.There is always a dream, maybe it will come true.

After collecting the seeds, Tao Ran checked the new tasks released by the system.

"Main task: earn [-] star coins, the task time is six months."

Tao Ran found that there was no failure penalty in the system, and with [-] star coins, Tao Ran felt that this task was easy to complete.After the Shennong Temple was built, something went wrong with the system, and the tasks released were somewhat simple.

But now it's winter, so you should stay at home in winter, don't think too much, Tao Ran, thinking like this, sat on the sofa and yawned lazily.

As the weather gets colder and the New Year is approaching, Tao Ran's small days during this period are extremely comfortable.

Last time, he specially asked Li Tingzhou's Xiao Liu to transport two barrels of Shennong spring water, and then he got Li Tingzhou's hot pot base made with Shennong spring water.

With the vegetable truck of the private restaurant, it is convenient for Li Tingzhou and Tao Ran to deliver things to each other, and Xiao Liu will help to deliver everything back and forth.Tao Ran was not too polite, he couldn't buy good beef and mutton locally in Yuanshan Town, and it was inconvenient to cook hot pot, so he asked Li Tingzhou to help buy it and bring it over with a vegetable truck.

Tao Ran likes spicy food, but Tian Yuxia can't eat it because she gets angry easily.So I used the mandarin duck pot, and every time I called Xiao Liu and the others to eat the hot pot until my whole body was warm, and then drove back to the private restaurant.

After eating like this a few times, Tao Ran also got angry and drank chrysanthemum tea and honeysuckle tea every day, but was ordered by Tian Yuxia not to eat hot pot anymore.

It's okay if there is no hot pot, and Tao Ran has tossed about barbecue again.Although air conditioners are installed in the house, the living room here in the countryside is large and wide, and even large-scale air conditioners will not work.Therefore, there is no air conditioner in the living room. During the day, the enzyme charcoal fire is still burned, and at night, it is turned off and the air conditioner is turned on upstairs to sleep.

And in winter in Taoyuan Village, coal basins are also necessary.Coal-burning stoves need coal, and ground pots need coal. If one accidentally forgets to change the coal and it goes out, just put a piece in the charcoal basin.

The charcoal basin of Tao Ran's family is quite large, and there is a wooden base underneath to prevent the ground from being soiled, and it was made by Grandpa Tian.Tao Ran made the best use of this charcoal basin, tossing and burning on the fire all day long.At the beginning, I tried roasting bananas, oranges, sugar cane, as long as it is a fruit with skin.

In the end, it turns out that roasted bananas and oranges are the best, but roasted sugar cane is not good, and the taste of roasted sugar cane is a bit sour.

Li Tingzhou heard about Tao Ran's recent hobby from Xiao Liu, and asked Tao Ran why he didn't buy a barbecue on his mobile phone. Tao Ran said that it was not as interesting as charcoal grilling.

On the third day, when Xiao Liu came over, he brought Tao Ran a large amount of environmentally friendly barbecue charcoal.After Tao Ran transferred the money to Li Tingzhou, he happily went to barbecue.Especially the chickens raised by Aunt Chunmei, Tao Ran made a special extravagance, went to buy two chickens, marinated them and roasted the chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken skin and chicken livers.

Tao Ran is still regretting that only Aunt Chunmei raises chickens in the village, and there is no pork, mutton, and beef to eat. Some people in the village plan to raise them, but it's not that the season is wrong and they haven't raised them yet.

Although there is no meat, there are all kinds of vegetables in Taoyuan Village, and the key is that they taste very good.Roast everything that can be roasted, and serve it with chili powder ground from the chili grown by Tao Ran in the greenhouse. The aroma attracts all the children in the village to run here.

When Tao Ran saw these children, he often let them in, and even taught them how to barbecue, just to make them pay attention to safety.Surrounded by Tao Ran, other villagers' homes also smelled of barbecue.

Not long after the days of being bald and wasteful, the end of the new year is approaching, and it is time to start preparing for the new year.

Taoyuan Village often prepares New Year’s goods one month in advance. The bought chicken, fish and lamb legs will be marinated and hung outside to dry, plus pork ribs and a few catties of beef. For the former Taoyuan villagers, they can live a happy life. Good year.This is something that ordinary Taoyuan villagers prepare, but if they like to eat, like Tao Ran's family, they will also prepare duck, pheasant, hare, and black pork.

Both Tao Shengwen and Tao Ran love to eat, but their family didn't have much money before, so they would buy beef leg bones, sheep's hooves, and even sheep's faces, which were relatively cheap.Tao Shengwen will clean things up, Tian Yuxia will prepare the condiments, and then stew them in a crock pot for a whole morning, the taste is quite good.

Now everyone has money in their hands, and they are not reluctant to spend it. The New Year's goods that everyone buys are much richer than before, and even the melon seeds and candies are of better quality.

Walking in Taoyuan Village now, you can often see villagers driving tricycles and bringing all kinds of New Year's goods back from Yuanshan Town.Everyone in the vegetable village has them, and they are even more delicious than those outside. The villagers in Taoyuan bought all kinds of meat when they came back.

Contrary to the villagers of Taoyuan, there are residents of Yuanshan Town.Chinese New Year is coming soon, of course, we must reward our family members who have worked hard for a year, Taoyuan vegetables must be bought.Someone also went to Tao Jiaxing to discuss that Taoyuan Supermarket could not be closed during the Chinese New Year, and the supply volume had to be increased.

Tao Ran didn't care about these people's thoughts at all. He was knocking on the melon seeds he had just bought from Yuanshan Town, wondering if he should plant some sunflowers in the village next year, harvest the melon seeds and fry them for food.
