Chapter 374 How about you be the cow?
They couldn't play board games. They played mahjong too late yesterday, and the four of them were still a little tired. They didn't want to consider those games that were both nerve-racking and harmful to friends. Besides, Lin Fan also had to consider the material for the show.
If you stay at home playing cards all the time, you really can't watch this show.
So Lin Fan directly arranged today's filming tasks for everyone: "Lu Bingyang, follow me today to turn over the land in the next village. Let's prepare to plant something."
"What about me?" Li Xiaodong asked, "What should I do?"
"Yes, what should we do?" Hui Qiaodan also asked.
"Sister Hui, go to the nearby farmer's market with Li Xiaodong today to buy some seeds. We will plant whatever seeds you buy."
Lin Fan didn't make any specific arrangements for them to buy, because the two probably didn't know what seeds were. Even if the seed seller explained it to them clearly, they would probably still get confused in the end. So it was better not to decide what to buy specifically and just buy whatever they liked.
But Lin Fan still had to remind them: "Don't buy too much!"
Li Xiaodong took the responsibility: "Brother Fan, leave this matter to me and Sister Hui, don't worry!"
To be honest, Lin Fan was indeed worried, but he could only let them do what they wanted. As long as they didn't buy the stones as seeds, Lin Fan believed that he could grow them.
After arranging the work, Lin Fan took Lu Bingyang out, using the same electric tricycle that Li Xiaodong drove last time.
Lu Bingyang sat obediently in the truck bed, watching Lin Fan turn in the opposite direction of where Li Xiaodong had walked last time. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, trying to cover it up by making small talk: "Brother Fan, how do you turn the soil?"
Lin Fan wanted to tease Lu Bingyang for a rare moment: "Generally, farmers use oxen to pull the plow to cultivate the land, but we don't have any oxen, so we have to ask you to pull the plow.
Don't worry, my land is not big, I can probably turn it over in two or three days. Of course, this depends on your physical strength, but don't worry, I will make you something delicious after the work is done, just as a reward for you!"
Lu Bingyang was silent for a moment, and looked at Lin Fan dimly: "Brother Fan, I always feel like you are deceiving me."
Lin Fan was curious: "Why do you feel this way?"
Lu Bingyang laughed: "Who still uses cattle to plow the fields now? You have never eaten pork, but you have never seen a pig run? What's more, Brother Fan, I don't know you. How could such hard farm work appear in your show!?"
Lin Fan is known to everyone in the circle for being lazy. It's rare for him to take the initiative to shoot a variety show, so how could he design such a hard task to embarrass himself? Even if he pushed it to the guests, Lin Fan would probably feel tired just watching it, right?
It has to be said that Lu Bingyang really knows Lin Fan very well.
Lin Fan said regretfully: "Lu Bingyang, there will be no 'laughing effect' if you shoot a variety show like this. You have to cooperate with me and pretend to be very shocked, and then find out the 'truth' when you get there, and finally create a kind of... Forget it, I can't make it up anymore."
Lu Bingyang chuckled: "How about we go back and start over?"
"What are you coming for? It's all here!"
Are we here already?
Lu Bingyang was a little confused, but as Lin Fan stopped the car and turned off the engine, he looked at the green land in front of him, with only one bare square with nothing planted on it. Lu Bingyang was a little surprised: "So close?"
Is it a ten-minute drive from the longing yard? And this is an electric car!
Lin Fan couldn't help but complain: "It's so close, I don't even know how you got lost last time."
Lu Bingyang said he didn’t want to take the blame: “It’s all Li Xiaodong’s fault that he has a poor sense of direction!”
Lin Fan glanced at Lu Bingyang silently: You are not much better!
Lu Bingyang: I didn’t see anything! “Let’s go and rent a farm machine from the fellow villagers.”
Not all people in the fishing village have contracted land for farming. After all, people now have more jobs to choose from, and many people, especially young people, are unwilling to tie themselves to the land for their entire lives.
But at the same time, there are also many people who are still willing to farm and have an inseparable attachment to this land.
The family that Lin Fan took Lu Bingyang to was such a family.
"Is Brother Chen home?"
Lu Bingyang followed Lin Fan into a yard. As soon as they entered, they saw a rough, punk-style farm tractor parked in the yard. Following Lin Fan's greeting, a middle-aged man came out to greet them.
The other party was very enthusiastic, as if he had become a good friend of Lin Fan: "Teacher Lin is here! Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?"
"I've eaten. I came here today to till my land. I wonder if you, Brother Chen, have any time to use your tiller today?"
"I'm free, I'm free these two days, Teacher Lin, you're so useful!"
"Okay, thank you Brother Chen!"
"We are neighbors, why are you being polite?"
Yes, it’s only a dozen minutes’ ride on an electric bike, and in the eyes of this honest middle-aged man, they are neighbors.
So Lu Bingyang sat on the rumbling agricultural tiller for the first time, and watched Lin Fan operate the tiller very skillfully, turning over layer by layer of soil, loosening and leveling it. The weeds on the ground were also dug up with their roots and buried under the soil, neatly. Seeing this, Lu Bingyang felt that his obsessive-compulsive disorder was cured.
"Brother Fan, this is really enjoyable!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This was the first time that the kid, who had never done farm work, came into contact with this tillage machine, and Lu Bingyang couldn't help but like the feeling.
"Then do you want to try it yourself?"
"Can I?"
"Sure, it's very simple, I'll teach you!"
…
On the other side, the duo of Hui Qiaodan and Li Xiaodong who were purchasing seeds at the farmers' market were even more lively.
Looking at the dazzling array of seeds in front of her, Hui Qiaodan was overwhelmed: "Wow, is this taro seed the same as the taro itself? Is this sugarcane the same? Ah, is this the bud of the sugarcane? It looks a bit like a bamboo leaf!"
Li Xiaodong was also amazed. Many kinds of seeds were beyond his expectations. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that these things could really grow the vegetables, fruits and other crops that he was familiar with.
But this is not the point. The point is: "Sister Hui, did you buy melon seeds?"
“It’s a sunflower seed!”
Li Xiaodong was sweating: "Oh, it's seeds, isn't that too much?"
"It's only one pound, is it too much?" Hui Qiaodan waved her hand, "Oh, it doesn't matter. If we can't finish growing it, we can just eat it all, right?"
Okay...right?
Li Xiaodong didn't dare to say or ask, anyway, since Sister Hui said it was okay, then it must be okay!
"What about this cactus?"
“This is a dragon fruit seedling!”
Hui Qiaodan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Xiao Dongdong, you are no good. You don't even know this! There was a period of time when growing dragon fruit was very popular on the Internet. I even cut a dragon fruit and wanted to remove all its seeds to plant!"
"And then?" Did it grow out?
“And then I ate it.”
Li Xiaodong: ...Sister, aren't you jumping to another topic too quickly? (End of this chapter)
