Chapter 769 This inexplicable sense of familiarity!

After Zhou Xiang answered the phone, he turned on the switch, and the irrigation water flowed along the hose connected to the outlet all the way to the other end of the pipe.

Not long after, Lin Fan felt his hand sink, and clear water gushed out of the pipe, forming a graceful arc in the air, then fell into the land planted with various crops and seeped into the ground.

"Wow!" Xia Yan couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement. It was his first time to do farm work, and Xia Yan was very interested in everything. "Lin Fan, give it to me, let me try!"

Lin Fan did not discourage Xia Yan's enthusiasm. He handed the water pipe to Xia Yan and reminded him, "Don't just water one place, and don't water the seedlings. Just water the ditches between the seedlings. The water will penetrate in."

"Yeah!" Xia Yan nodded hurriedly, took the water pipe, and watered according to Lin Fan's instructions, "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right. Water the entire row thoroughly. Try to move forward and don't stay where you are." Lin Fan watched for a while and didn't find any operational errors from Xia Yan, so he went to do other things. "If you get tired, call me."

Xia Yan vowed: "Go ahead, I won't be tired!"

It's just watering, how tiring can it be? Xia Yan works out every day and can run 10 kilometers in one breath. He feels that he doesn't need any help for such a small thing! However, after five minutes, Xia Yan began to feel that his wrist was a little heavy, but it was negligible. After ten minutes, his arm was a little sore, but he could still hold on. After half an hour, Xia Yan felt that he might not be able to drag the water pipe anymore.

Just when I was thinking about admitting my mistake to Lin Fan, I saw Zhou Xiang standing there bored, and she ran over happily: "Sister Yanyan, can I water it for a while?"

Looks like fun!

Xia Yan decisively handed the water pipe to Zhou Xiang: "Here you go. If you can't hold on any longer, find your brother Fan!" Then he reiterated to Zhou Xiang the key points of watering that Lin Fan had told him before.

Zhou Xiang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Sister Yanyan, I won't fail!"

Xia Yan: ...Ah, this inexplicable feeling of familiarity!

"come on!"

Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously as if he had taken over some important responsibility, and then walked towards the other end of the field with a heroic and confident look.

Lin Fan: ...Heh, as long as you two are happy! Then, five minutes later... ten minutes later... half, well, not half an hour, Zhou Xiang overestimated his physical strength. After only about twenty minutes, his waist and arms began to ache: "Brother Fan! Brother Fan, help me, I feel like I can't hold this water pipe anymore!"

Lin Fan happily watched the show from the side: "Come on, I'm rooting for you, you can do it!"

Zhou Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears: "But I really can't!"

This water pipe seemed to have its own ideas and kept wanting to run around. At first, he could suppress it with his own strength, but as time went by, his strength also disappeared. Zhou Xiang felt that he would soon be unable to suppress it. This pipe was about to become a spirit! "Brother Fan..."

Lin Fan said calmly, "Hold on a little longer. Come on, you can do it. Your sister Yanyan has held on for half an hour. You are only five minutes away from half an hour. It will be quick."

Xia·Half an hour·Yan looked up at the sky and didn't want to talk.

He swore at the beginning that he would never get tired, but in half an hour he slapped himself in the face. His face hurt so much that Xia Yan felt that he had no say in the matter.

Five minutes... Zhou Xiang wanted to cry. If she had known earlier, she would not have said so much. Unfortunately, it was too late to realize it now. Once the words were spoken, they could not be taken back.

I made a promise with all my heart, and I will complete it even if I cry.JPG!

Zhou Xiang gritted her teeth secretly and held on. Xia Yan felt bad and was about to take over the job of watering, but she heard Lin Fan say, "That's enough. Go turn off the water. We've been watering for almost an hour, the ground should be thoroughly watered. You two have worked hard today. I'll make you a big meal when I get home to reward you!"

Zhou Xiang and Xia Yan burst into tears: We have done such an important thing, but I don’t have any sense of accomplishment at all!

Lin Fan quickly finished all the finishing work by himself, including turning off the water, drawing the card, and collecting the water pipe. He also picked a large bundle of vegetables and put them on the bed of the tricycle.

Xia Yan looked at the large bundle of things that looked like lotus leaves and asked curiously, "What is this? Can I eat it? Is it delicious?"

"This is the leaf stalk of taro. If it is pickled, it can be fried with meat. The texture is very special. It tastes quite similar to the sour food you ate today. I think you should like it."

Moreover, now that the taro has grown to this point, it is necessary to pick off the excess leaves so that the nutrients can be concentrated on the taro. The removed leaf stems can be pickled to make a delicious side dish.

As soon as Xia Yan heard the word "sour", he felt the taste buds in his mouth being aroused. The sweet and sour taste with a spicy aftertaste he had before was really strong: "Then let's go back quickly!"

"Um!"

So, less than two hours after leaving the house, Lin Fan and the other two returned to the yard they had longed for. Excluding the time spent on the road and other preparation time, the three of them only spent about an hour doing farm work.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Looking at the big sun still hanging high in the sky, Lin Fan simply took out the taro leaves and stems to pickle them.

Xia Yan and Zhou Xiang volunteered to help, and Lin Fan gave each of them a pair of gloves: "The mucus of taro contains saponins, which can irritate the skin and cause itching. It is best to wear gloves when cleaning the leaf stems. Also, the leaf stems can only be used, and the leaves should be removed."

"Understood!" This time, the two of them no longer dared to say big words like "Leave it to me" or "I won't get tired". They just followed orders and did their jobs without causing any trouble.

After picking the taro stalks, he removed the leaves and washed them one by one. Lin Fan then tore off the outer layer of the washed taro stalks and placed them in a clean bamboo basket to dry.

"This layer of coating can be torn off or not. It will be chewier if it is not torn off, but I like the texture of it being torn off, so I tore it all off."

While Lin Fan was processing, he explained the steps of pickling to the audience: "After cleaning, put it in the sun to dry like now. If there is no sun, put it in a ventilated place to dry. Dry it until the taro stems feel soft and the water evaporates by about half.

If you dry it out too much, it will taste old. In the weather here on Huahai Island, a few hours of drying is enough.”

Of course, the entire drying process could not be shown to the audience. The audience could only see Lin Fan and the other two washing all the taro stalks, tearing off the outer skins, cutting them in half, and then putting them together to dry.

A clock appeared on the camera. The second and minute hands quickly turned around and around, and the hour hand also moved a few steps slowly. Then, when the fast-forwarded time returned to normal, the taro stalks had been dried.
