Farming is Enough, Why Bother with Scumbags?

It was just a small matter of falling off a cliff, so why did he transmigrate?

Beastman Aben, during a planting and harvesting process, accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff. He "soul...

Chapter 8

The system was somewhat puzzled by Liu Ben's situation, but it needed the host's permission to scan the host's body again.

This dishonest person will definitely disagree.

The system cat stretched in its nest and then lay down again.

Forget it, there is no way the scan could be wrong. Is there anyone in this world who can fool this cat's eyes?

Let’s go to sleep.

Liu Ben was busy going back and forth in the fields, cultivating and planting. After several rounds, he finally felt a little tired. He planted one last wave and then stopped.

Liu Ben was very satisfied with the grain inventory displayed in the warehouse. If he had weeded the rice early, the rice harvest would have been much better. It was getting late, so he said hello to the sprawled System Cat and exited the system space.

Liu Ben walked out of the yard, took out several large stacks of seedling trays from the warehouse, then added some soil and started growing seedlings.

It probably won't grow much in one night, but this is just to please others. Anyway, this seed doesn't need to be used for seedling cultivation.

After finishing the seedling tray and filling up the room, Liu Ben was ready to go to sleep. But just after washing up, Liu Ben thought of something and went back to the space, tinkering for a while before coming out with some things, putting them aside, and then going back to sleep.

This time, as soon as I lay down, it was already dawn the next day.

As soon as Liu Ben opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to quickly get up and look at the seedling trays. He was surprised to see that the seedlings he had just planted the night before had actually grown quite a lot. They were green and tender. Although not as long as the usual seedlings, they were still acceptable.

Liu Ben walked out of the room and walked to the warehouse and pushed out a small cart. Liu Yibiao saw it and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Move the seedling tray." Liu Ben said as he pushed.

"Where did you get the seedling trays? Did you find someone to buy them from? Are you going out to get them now?" Liu Shuanghu was also confused. "But it's really late to start raising seedlings now. It's good to buy some, but are they good?"

"I grew the seedlings myself." Liu Ben said, and moved a few trays of seedlings from his room and placed them carefully on the cart.

"Huh?" Liu Yibiao hurried over and asked in surprise, "You, you already thought someone would be willing to rent the land to you? You planted the seedlings in advance?"

"Yes." Liu Ben continued to move out more seedlings, filling the car up.

"You change one, and I'll help you push a few carts over." Liu Shuanghu pulled the cart away.

"Okay." Liu Ben did not refuse, as he had another cart at home.

Liu Yibiao looked down at the seedling carefully and frowned, saying, "It's still very small."

"Grandpa, it's no problem," Liu Ben said with a smile, holding the tray of seedlings. "This is a gift from a friend of mine... Universe Unparalleled rice seeds. When they're planted, I can sell them for 40 yuan per jin."

Liu Yibiao was first shocked by the figure, then said disdainfully: "What kind of rice is this? ... You must have been scammed. How can rice be sold for 40 yuan per catty? Only a fool would buy it!"

When Liu Shuangying heard his father's straightforward words, he quickly said to Liu Ben, "That must be good rice. Let's plant it quickly before it's too late to dry in the morning."

At worst, if things didn't look good halfway through, he would secretly give Liu Ben some of his own seedlings.

Liu Ben smiled and went back into the room again. He picked up the last things he had brought out of the space last night, took them outside the room, and handed them to his grandfather.

"This is the Wushuang rice. Let grandma cook it for you at noon."

Liu Yibiao opened the bag, and his second and third uncles all looked in.

The rice grains in the bag are pure white and transparent, round and plump, and their shapes and colors are very pleasing to the eye. After looking at them for a long time, one might as well think that this is a bag of rare pearls, exuding an incomparable charm for all old farmers who love their fields and grains.

Grandpa reached in and fiddled with it, and even a whiff of rice aroma filled his nose. Perhaps because Liu Ben had pounded it by hand with a rice pounding tool, it was normal for some finely divided rice flour to appear.

"Gudong." Liu Shuanghu came over, staring at the rice inside and swallowing his saliva, muttering: "How about we cook it this morning?"

Liu Yibiao was obviously also fascinated by the beautiful rice. He was tempted for a moment when he heard the suggestion, but he still firmly closed the bag: "Your wife has already cooked it. Eat whatever you have."

As he said this, he put his hands behind his back.

"Have a good lunch." Liu Shuangying nodded.

"Let me see it again." Liu Shuanghu ran behind his grandfather, wanting to take another look at the beautiful rice, but his grandfather held it tightly and refused to let him see it.

After breakfast, Liu Ben started transporting the seedling trays early. After transporting one acre of rice, Liu Ben began to plant. Liu Shuangying told him not to run around all the time, so he and Liu Shuanghu helped Liu Ben transport the rice.

Liu Ben was happy to continue farming, so he handed the work over to his two uncles.

Liu Ben's room was filled with quite a few rice seedling trays. As Liu Shuanghu moved them, he said with a smile, "You're really good at hiding them. You keep so many rice seedling trays in your room. What's going on? Are you worried that you'll end up not being able to rent a field after you've started raising them, and then be embarrassed?"

"Yes." Liu Ben just agreed and let them guess whatever they wanted. As long as they thought it was reasonable, it was fine.

Although he had been farming all night yesterday, Liu Ben was still full of energy when he woke up during the day. He always felt that he was born to farm. This may sound a bit childish and exaggerated, but Liu Ben deeply felt that farming was really, really fun!

It was so satisfying to have so many good and large fields for him to farm!

The conditions are much better than before!

Huh?

Liu Ben's hands paused in planting rice. What was it like before?

He must have never farmed before.

As far as Liu Ben knows, before he graduated, he had been going back and forth between school and home, only occasionally going to some leisure places to play.

After work, there is an additional check-in point in the office building.

The fields were something I had only ever seen from afar.

Liu Ben only thought for a moment and then continued to plant rice quickly.

Anyway, the doctor said that he temporarily lost some memory due to the stimulation, but he will remember it soon.

There's no point in worrying now.

Liu Ben put aside his doubts and happily started farming.

Farming is so fun!

It was lunchtime at noon, and Liu Ben finally reluctantly left the fields he had not finished planting, returned home and prepared to have lunch.

As soon as he approached the yard, before he pushed the door open, he smelled a rich, indescribable fragrance. It was the pure aroma of rice, with some plant fragrance. In that pure and simple fragrance, there seemed to be even the scent of rice flowers.

Is it so high-end? Liu Ben pushed the door open and walked in with surprise and anticipation.

Liu Ben naturally knew that this was the taste of the rice he took out, after all, everyone had agreed to eat it at noon.

Liu Ben walked into the kitchen and saw a crowd of people inside from a distance.

"Mom, can you give me a bowl first?" This was the voice of my third uncle.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. You didn't do any work today, so you don't get to eat first!" This is how grandma expressed her disdain.

"It smells really good." This is my little sister's exclamation.

"Let's wait until Xiao Ben comes back before having dinner. He must be tired." This gentle whisper came from Aunt San.

"I'm back." Liu Ben poked his head out and greeted.

"Xiao Ben is back," Grandma said with a smile, looking up, "Now we can have dinner!"

"Oh oh oh~" Liu Lei cheered.

A few minutes later, the whole family came out of the kitchen and sat around the table, each holding a bowl of steaming fragrant rice.

"This thing Xiao Ben brought back is called Wushuang Rice. Everyone should try it." Grandpa first picked up a piece of meat and ate a mouthful of rice.

Everyone followed suit and couldn't wait to take a bite.

Then no one spoke, and the only sounds on the table were the sounds of chewing and the clinking of dishes and chopsticks.

Everyone was instantly immersed in the deliciousness of the rice.

The steamed rice is plump and translucent, with just the right amount of moisture—neither dry nor soft. The first thing you notice when you take a bite is the rich aroma of rice, making you think you're eating a multi-grain rice dish. A gentle chew brings out a subtle sweetness, making your mouth water. As the rice is fully broken down, it feels like rice paste with just a hint of sugar, with a slightly oily texture.

Just by tasting this mouthful of rice, I felt like I was eating nourishing bird's nest porridge, and my body felt relaxed.

The family quickly finished the whole bowl of rice in silence. When there was no rice left in the bowl, they seemed to wake up from a dream and stood up to get more rice.

"It's a shame to pair such delicious food with these dishes," Wang Fengjing said in frustration, "At least we should stew an old hen."

"As expected of rice that costs 40 yuan per pound, this is so delicious, isn't it?" Uncle San exclaimed, "I feel like I could eat ten bowls!"

"This rice is 40 yuan per pound?" Liu Sen was also surprised.

Grandma scolded, "Xiao Ben, why don't you buy such good rice and keep it for yourself?"

The others nodded in agreement. This rice was so precious that even if they didn't sell it, they should leave it for Xiao Ben to eat.

"It's okay. This is a gift from a good friend of mine. He'll send it back to me later. It's not a big deal," Liu Ben said. "Besides, I've already planted some in the fields. By then, we won't be able to finish it all."

However, the crops grown outside are not as good as these, so he won’t talk about it for now.

"It's quite good," Liu Yibiao nodded. "But if it really sold for 40 yuan a pound outside, I wouldn't be willing to eat it."

"It doesn't even have to be 40 yuan per pound. I think it should be sold at 20 yuan." Liu Shuanghu also nodded, but he was still eating, and his words were not credible at all.

Liu Ben smiled and said, "What's the use of having so much money? It's better to eat and drink well." Anyway, he can grow hundreds of kilograms a day, which is enough for himself to eat.

Liu Lei, Liu Sen and Liu Rui all agreed in their hearts but were too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"It's enough to try it occasionally." Although the elders like the taste, they all want to make money.

After the meal, Liu Ben was full of energy. He ate more and had more strength. He finished planting all the fields in one day and received unanimous praise from the onlookers.

"It turns out that not all young men nowadays are as weak as my son." Liu Dong's grandmother said with a smile: "Look at the clan leader's little Ben, his energy seems to be endless!"

Liu Dong felt wronged: "Grandma, I'm not weak at all. How can I find a wife if you say that?"

"Shame on you!" his grandmother hit him.

“Hahahahahaha…”

Liu Ben also laughed with everyone. It was not that he had too much energy, but that he recovered quickly. No one knew what was going on.

The author has something to say:

I don’t know why, but I felt that rice was very fragrant when I was a child, but I no longer have that feeling when I grow up.

I've been busy lately, so updates are pretty rushed, eh...
