Before meeting the little Taoist priest, Xia Chen was a little unconvinced in his heart. He thought, Old Taoist Xu said that he had no talent for martial arts and Taoism, and he didn't know what kind of apprentice he had accepted.
Xia Chen's first meeting with the little Taoist priest was completely unexpected.
The weather was fine that day, Xia Chen stayed in bed for breakfast, and spent a while in the space, and it was already halfway through when he got up.Mrs. Xia yelled at him, most of them were loving, and she didn't mean to reprimand him.
Xia Chen smiled and said a few nice words, Mrs. Xia couldn't hold back her serious face, Qiao Niang also smiled, brought him the warm porridge in the pot, and let him sit in the courtyard to eat.
Mrs. Xia and Qiao Niang chatted casually while doing needlework. Xia Chen sat on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard, slowly drinking a bowl of brown rice porridge.
This stuff is expensive in modern society, and it is said to be more nutritious than polished rice, and it is hard to buy if there is no way.But in fact, only the rice husk is peeled off, and the outside is covered with a layer of fine bran. The taste is not as fine as ordinary white rice, and the cooking time is longer, otherwise it will not be well cooked.
Xia Chen is picky, he is used to eating good things, a bowl of brown rice porridge without side dishes, it is a bit tasteless to eat.But Xia Chen also knows that their family's conditions are already very good, and they can eat a mixture of brown rice and white rice.
In some poor families, bran is the staple food, which is used to feed pigs in modern times.
His father has tried his best to give him the best life. If he wants a better life, he should find his own way. As long as their family is rich, their standard of living will naturally improve.
Xia Chen thought of the rice planted in his space. Because of the unfinished random task, Xia Chen kept a piece of land for rice planting. Because he couldn't dig a paddy field in the space, he could only water as much as possible. Collect seeds with technology and continue planting, trying to use the superiority of space and land to optimize the improved species by planting multiple times.
This is effective. Compared with the rice planted at the beginning of his records, the number of branches of rice panicles has increased by one panicle, and occasionally two or three panicles.The rice grains are also fuller, and the yield has indeed increased.
But now it has entered a bottleneck period, and the rice planted for a few days has not changed significantly. Xia Chen thinks, should we create a paddy field to simulate a better environment.
It's a pity that Xia Tongban didn't cooperate, Xia Chen would torture him as soon as he thought about it, anyway, drinking porridge and being bored, Xia Chen recited scriptures for Xia Tongban in his mind, and asked him to make a whole paddy field.
Just when one person was fighting with each other, someone in the outer courtyard seemed to call the door. Qiao Niang went out after hearing the sound, and brought back two Taoist priests, one big and one small, a while later.
Xia Chen looked at the little Taoist curiously. To his surprise, the child looked thin and small. He said he was eight or nine years old. He looked two years younger than him, but he was quite handsome.Wearing an ill-fitting broad avenue gown, the child looks thinner and thinner. In the early spring weather, he only wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and his exposed toes and heels were suffering from frostbite, which was quite pitiful.
The little Taoist priest has been hiding behind Xu Laodao since he entered the door, keeping his head down and not daring to look around.As if feeling Xia Chen's scrutinizing eyes, the little Taoist raised his head subconsciously and saw that it was a child about his age, who looked kindly and smiled at Xia Chen with his lips pursed.
Xia Chen reflexively returned a bright smile, then clutched his chest and thought, this little bastard has dimples!It's kind of cute...
On Xu Laodao's side, he greeted Mrs. Xia first when he entered the door, and then went straight to the point and said that he came to beg for food.
Mrs. Xia was stunned. Xu Laodao cultivated a small land behind the Taoist temple to grow food and vegetables. Although the harvest was small, and the occasional donations from nearby villagers, he could barely make a living. Xu Laodao almost never went down the mountain to beg for food.
Moreover, she sent a lot of rice noodles to the Taoist temple not long ago. Xu Laodao is not a person who spends money at will, so why did he stop begging for food?
In a flash, Mrs. Xia understood that this little Taoist priest must have been bought by Xu Laodao, and those rice noodles and cloths were probably exchanged for money.
Just at this moment, there was a loud abdominal groan, the little Taoist was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone, wishing he could slip in orderly.
Mrs. Xia is kind-hearted, and Xu Laodao is their family benefactor. She immediately smiled and said: "There is still a way to go up the mountain, so let's have a light meal at our house first."
Talking and laughing at Xia Chen: "This friend slept until he just got up, the pot kept warm porridge for him, and a bowl of plain noodles was served very quickly."
"That's why I'm bothering you." Xu Laodao said politely, and unloaded the bamboo basket on his back. Inside was a small sapling and a paper bag.
"I found a wild pear tree in the mountains. I heard that the little layman likes to collect seeds. The old Taoist once collected some when he was traveling, and sent them together. I hope the little layman will not be disgusted."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Xia Chen said hurriedly.His father and his brother have already bought all the seeds that can be bought in the county and town. Unfortunately, in their small place, there are few types of seeds, and most of them are repetitive. He is still worried. If there are no new seeds, the speed of gaining experience will be slower Slowed down, all the seeds in the mall that he didn't have were expensive as hell, just like Xia Tongban.
Mrs. Xia glared at Xia Chen, but didn't say anything about not allowing him to take things from others, and told Qiao Niang to entertain the guests, then turned and went into the kitchen to cook.Because Mr. Xia said that the spring plowing field was too busy, he asked Mrs. Lei to work in the field.
Qiao Niang is a young daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know what to say to Taoist Xu. Xia Chen went to talk to Taoist Xu with a wink. First, he thanked the old Taoist priest for his seeds, and then asked the little Taoist priest what his name was.
The little Taoist blushed, looked at Xia Chen timidly, and whispered: "Master said, my name is Xu Helai."
"Your name is really good." Xia Chen was sour, even his name looked like a Taoist priest, "My name is Xia...Yuanbao."
"Your name sounds good too." The little Taoist spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, unlike other children jumping out in groups, but his appearance matched him very well, giving off a gentle and peaceful feeling.
A kid like Xu Helai is really hard to hate. Xia Chen only had a few chats with him before he realized that he was really an honest kid.Good personality, not talkative, polite, shy but not overly timid.
The children were talking, Qiao Niang went into the house to get a pair of shoes, put them at Xu Helai's feet, and said kindly: "These are my boss's old shoes, I don't mind wearing them. Although they are old, they were made with care at the beginning. Yes, it's still solid."
Xia Chen missed the point: "Sister-in-law, can he wear Dong Ge'er's shoes? You should give him mine." Xia Chen is the youngest child in the family, and his feet are also the smallest.
"His feet are bigger than yours, you can't wear them." Qiao Niang said: "Xiao Daochang must be a big man when he grows up.
Unconvinced, Xia Chen made a secret comparison, and it turned out that he was younger, so he sneaked back his feet, thinking it was just because he was young.
Xu Helai seemed to blush easily. He glanced at Old Taoist Xu in a panic. Seeing the master nodding, he thanked Qiaoniang, then carefully put on Dong Geer's old shoes, with a happy smile on his face.
Xia Chen felt a little sad when he saw it, and he didn't feel sad for the little Taoist priest at all. This is a poor baby, he should take care of him more if he can.
Mrs. Xia brought out the boiled noodles, the bowl was full of noodles, Xu Laodao's group couldn't help the meat, Mrs. Xia also cracked two eggs in the noodles, Xu Laodao gave the eggs to Xu Helai, and Xu Helai just happened to pick them up Put the eggs in his bowl, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.
After eating, Mrs. Xia packed a bag of food and some vegetables and brought them to Old Taoist Xu. The old Taoist took the little Taoist to thank him, and then got up and left.
As soon as the guests left, Xia Chen immediately ran to collect the seeds and asked Mrs. Xia if she could plant the pear tree in the yard.
Mrs. Xia always pampered him, when Mrs. Xia came back at noon and heard him talk about planting trees, she also agreed very much, so she directly took Xia Dalang up a stone pavement in the courtyard and gave it to Xia Chen.
Under the guidance and help of his father and elder brother, Xia Chen successfully planted the pear tree.
He patted the mud off his hands and was about to wash his hands when Xia Tongban reminded him that he had upgraded.
Xia Chen was baffled, even if the crops in the space were ripe, he had to harvest them to gain experience and level up, and he didn't complete any tasks, so why did he suddenly level up.
Xia Tongban explained: [Plant a wild pear tree. ]
It turns out that I also have experience in farming outside. Xia Chen reacted and said angrily: "Then I planted so much before, and you deducted my experience!"
[Has a seed you planted before germinated?Planting activities without results are meaningless planting activities, please don't try to cheat the host. ]
Xia Chen was at a loss for words, didn't he not know? After thinking about it, he realized that this was a huge conspiracy. He opened his eyes wide in horror: "You actually want me to farm in reality? Xia Tongban, are you a devil? "
Without waiting for Xia Tongpan to reply, Xia Chen rushed to Master Xia: "Father, I want to read and write, so please send me to study!"
He just wanted to be lazy, and when he reached level ten, he could farm automatically before going to school. Otherwise, it would be too hard to go to school during the day and farm at night, and he was afraid that he would not grow taller.
Who would have thought that Xia Tongban was forced to farm the land here, and he was still tempted. Xia Chen was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation, so he simply acted preemptively and arranged the time to go out.
"Okay!" Mr. Xia was overjoyed. He was a rough man himself, but he also knew that it was a good thing to read wisely. When Brother Dong was old enough to send him to school, he didn't know what to teach.When the teacher tests the students, he must be the one who gets beaten.
Later, Dong Ge'er refused to go to school anyway, and Master Xia couldn't help himself, so he let it go.
Master Xia originally planned to send Brother Nan to school this year, but it turned out that Yao'er was no longer stupid, and even offered to go to school, so they happened to arrange it together.
"Success, Dad will go and inquire now, let Brother Nan go too, and you two, uncle and nephew, will be your companions." Master Xia said happily.
Brother Nan and his elder brother ran back excitedly from outside, and were about to show their dear little uncle the grasshopper he caught, when they came in, they heard that grandpa was going to send him to study.
Nan Ge'er instantly remembered that when his brother was studying, he had to memorize and practice calligraphy every day. From time to time, his hands were swollen from being beaten by his husband, and he couldn't even use chopsticks.
Immediately my heart trembled and my legs became weak, and I didn't want the grasshopper anymore. I cried out loudly, imitating what my brother said when he refused to go to school: "I don't study, and I won't study when I die. I want to farm!"
The author has something to say: Taoism doesn't seem to be almsgiver, so I found out a beggar. It is said that people are used to self-reliance, so it may not be allowed.
