Chapter 768 Okay, my imagination is too rich!
Xia Yan and Zhou Xiang took it without any hesitation and opened the tied bag. The tempting sour smell hit them directly. The aroma of mango, radish and other fruits and vegetables mixed together made people salivate.
Xia Yan picked up a small piece of mango with a bamboo stick, put it in his mouth and took a bite. With a "crack", the mango broke. It was crisp and refreshing. After the sour taste, it was lightly sweet, with the fragrance of unripe mango, and a little spicy aftertaste, which made the juiciness, sweetness and crispness of the fruit vividly rendered, making people unable to stop! "Hmm! This is delicious!" Xia·Little Foodie·Yan was instantly conquered, eating a piece of sour mango in one bite, enjoying it very much.
Zhou Xiang also found it very magical. He obviously didn't like sour food, but when he ate these sour mangoes, sour radishes and sour guavas, he didn't feel unappetizing at all. On the contrary, he became more and more addicted to them and couldn't stop at all.
As a result, when Lin Fan stopped the car beside the field he rented, Xia Yan and Zhou Xiang had already finished most of the bag of sour food.
The remaining small part was euphemistically called: "It's all reserved for you!"
"Ha!" Lin Fan laughed, "Enjoy your meal now, you two will know when we eat."
Xia Yan and Zhou Xiang looked confused, not understanding what Lin Fan was hinting at.
However, Lin Fan did not intend to explain to them. Instead, he directed the two of them and arranged today's work: "Today's main task is to water the fields."
Lin Fan handed Xia Yan an electricity card: "This is the electricity card for water use. Go over there and find the water outlet of the irrigation well, insert the card, then pull the water pipe over, turn on the switch and you can use water."
Today's agricultural irrigation facilities are very convenient. You can irrigate the fields by swiping your electricity card. Not only do the villagers in the fishing village benefit from it, but even people like Lin Fan who want to experience farming life can save a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, if it is really like the old times, and we still have to carry water to irrigate the fields, then it will not be called "The Longed-for Courtyard", but should be renamed "The Days of Suffering".
The two female celebrities who had never done farm work before were obviously very interested in this kind of thing they had never touched before. They took the power cards, promised to complete the task, and walked in the direction indicated by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at the photography team and saw several staff members following them. Only then did he feel relieved and took his accompanying photographer to check his own area.
While watching, he explained why he was still staying at home and not working in the fields even though the show was halfway through this season: "When I started recording the show this year, I had already planted crops in the fields. So there was no way I could invite the guests to come over and experience the fun of farming."
The land has been planted, the fertilizer has been applied, the soil has been loosened, and the insects have been removed. Even if there are guests coming, Lin Fan can only take them for a walk around the land at most. It would be better if they didn't come.
So, until now, Lin Fan estimated that it was time to water the land, so he brought Xia Yan and Zhou Xiang out and introduced to the audience what he had planted: "I planted sweet potatoes in this area, the same variety as last year. I tasted them and they were very sweet and delicious, so I will continue to plant them this year."
The main thing is that even if you can't finish eating the sweet potatoes, you can make them into dried sweet potatoes, which can be used to make porridge or eaten as a snack, or ground into powder and made into vermicelli or rice noodles. They can be eaten as a dish or as a staple food, and most importantly, they can be eaten in hot pot.
It can be said to be all-powerful, so Lin Fan planted another batch.
"Here are peanuts, corn, bananas, papayas, watermelons, taro..."
The piece of land that Lin Fan rented was not big, and he only planted a little of each variety, which made it seem like there were too many varieties, and it was also quite troublesome to take care of. It was only because Lin Fan had the spare time, otherwise most people would only plant one crop on a piece of land.
“And this!”
Lin Fan suddenly pointed forward, and the photographer's camera turned in that direction. All the audience saw that in the middle of a green cactus-like plant, there were small rose-red fruits dotted around, which looked particularly pleasing.
[One Shot, One Boyfriend: Ah! Isn't this the dragon fruit that Sister Hui and her two useless brothers planted together last year? ]
[Your education is prenatal education, right? Calling Sister Hui! The dragon fruit you planted has borne fruit. When will you come back to harvest the fruit? ]
[I am not sleepy when I sleep: If you don’t understand, then ask, this is the dragon fruit that I planted last year, so will it bear fruit this year? Or has it already been harvested once last year, so can it be harvested again this year? ]
Most of the viewers of "Longing for the Yard" have no farming experience, and many of them even saw the dragon fruit growing on the cactus for the first time! Those who know the business would like to argue that the dragon fruit is not a cactus, but a plant of the genus Hylocereus in the Cactaceae family, just like a tiger is a cat, but a tiger is not a cat.
Unfortunately, the audience doesn’t care. No matter what it is, I just need to recognize it as it is.
During the show, Lin Fan also gave a brief introduction: "Dragon fruit is a perennial plant. What does perennial mean? It means that the life span of this plant is more than two years and it can bloom and bear fruit many times. So the dragon fruit planted last year is still alive this year and can continue to survive.
Moreover, the dragon fruit will not enter its peak fruit-bearing period until the third year. From last year to this year, although these fruit seedlings will bloom and bear fruit, the harvest is relatively small, and it will not be until the third year that a bumper harvest can be achieved.
That is to say, you will see the grand scene of dragon fruits hanging on the tree in the third season of "Longing for the Yard". Now, there are no more than 20 fruits on a column of fruit seedlings, which is better than nothing. "
The audience was stunned: My idol is teaching me all kinds of knowledge about dragon fruit. This feeling is too weird! But Lin Fan looked so natural, without any awkwardness of memorizing lines, as if he was a real fruit farmer introducing his crops.
Lin Fan was talking excitedly when he heard Xia Yan's voice: "Lin Fan, the water pipe is pulled over, where should we start watering? Ouch, this pipe looks inconspicuous, but when I picked it up I realized how heavy it is."
Lin Fan looked up and saw Xia Yan dragging a watering hose, grunting towards him. Lin Fan quickly stepped forward to take the hose: "I can do it, and the hose should be rolled up at the beginning, why don't you push it all the way over?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Why do you have to unroll the rolled pipe and then drag it over?
Xia Yan was stunned: "Is this still possible?"
Lin Fan: ...Although it's a little silly, what can I do? I found my own wife, so of course I have to spoil her myself! "I'll water it, you just turn on the switch. By the way, where's Zhou Xiang?"
"Zhou Xiang is waiting for my signal at the other end. As soon as I give her the signal, she'll turn on the switch! We don't have to run back and forth!" Xia Yan looked at Lin Fan with an expression of "What do you think, I'm smart?", his eyes sparkling, like a child waiting for candy from an adult.
Lin Fan couldn't help but rub Xia Yan's little head: "Then you send her a signal. What signal did you agree on?"
Are the two female stars going to perform a shouting match in a farm field, separated by several acres of land?
The scene was so beautiful that Lin Fan really wanted to see it.
However, the next second, Xia Yan took out his cell phone and called Zhou Xiang: "Xiangxiang, I'm ready here, please turn on the switch!"
Lin Fan: ...Okay, I have a very rich imagination! Thanks to Yan Hongxue, Emperor Shitian, Liang Yanluo, Book Friend 20170518063320385, myc, Book Friend 151103113640028, Toothless Tiger 12, Lingnan 999, Evil Moon Three Stars Yu Hongmeng, and "Mo Xiaowu_ for their monthly tickets and rewards!
