Chapter 170 Going on a Picnic
After staying in the watermelon field for a few days, Brother Ye returned to school with his fair face dark again.
The grass in the field was lush and tender, and Grandma Ye picked out the grass that the rabbits could eat.
The rabbits at home have grown fatter. Maybe it makes sense that when animals are well fed they will desire sex, as there are two new litters of rabbits in the rabbit hive.
Grandma Ye feeds the rabbits two meals a day and also helps feed a few baby rabbits with milk.
I originally wanted to reduce the hard work of collecting rabbit grass every day, so I slaughtered a few fat rabbits to eat. Unexpectedly, the rabbits were so hardworking that they kept growing more and more.
"Grandma, it's troublesome to collect grass for so many rabbits every day. Why don't we sell some of them?" Ye Zhen suggested.
There are five rabbit cages at home, and each cage contains at least three big rabbits, not counting the little rabbits. These rabbits reproduce quickly, and there are five, six, seven or eight rabbits in a litter. With good weather and sufficient grass and fodder, all of them survived. I don't know how many litters of rabbits I have raised in the past six months.
With so many rabbits, the smell became strong. Grandma Ye had to clean the rabbit nests every day and look for grass to feed them. Even though Grandma Ye was in good health, she couldn't stand taking care of these rabbits every day.
There are many kinds of livestock at home. The chickens and ducks eat well and lay eggs diligently. Two jars of salted duck eggs are pickled. Not to mention the daily consumption at home, some old hens have started to look for places to sit on eggs.
They are all fed by Grandma Ye and Mom Ye. Ye Zhen didn't expect them to reproduce so quickly. It's not good to have too many of them because the smell is too strong and they will all fly outside when the wind blows.
Ye Zhen repented! She was wrong. She shouldn't have raised so many people just for the stuttering.
Just sell some.
Grandma Ye had the same idea. There were more than a dozen rabbits out of the nest. In the countryside, rabbits are sold at 50 yuan per pair, and buyers can come and choose for themselves.
As soon as the announcement was made, villagers came up to choose the rabbits. They were all healthy and the buyers were happy.
Within two days, most of the rabbits were sold except for the newly born ones.
The work in the fields has been almost done, and the villagers have become more active. Autumn is the harvest season, and many people go to the mountains to look for mountain products.
Ye Facai came to the house today and brought some honey, inviting Ye's father and others to pick tea seeds.
"If we don't pick the tea seeds quickly while the weather is good, it will rain in a few days and the tea seeds will fall to the ground and it will be difficult to pick them up, and we won't be able to dry them in the sun."
Father Ye thought what the other party said made sense, and quickly called to his younger brother Ye: "Yangzi, follow us to pick tea seeds later."
There are several low mountains near Shanbei Village. People often go there and the grass is not particularly lush, so there are naturally more tea trees.
These tea trees generate income for the village every year. Once the tea seeds are ripe, the villagers will pick them and press the oil for their own consumption or sell them to supplement their family income, which is a good source of income.
Actually, Ye Xiaodi didn't want to go. Picking tea seeds is not an easy job. He has to travel through the mountains, climb up and down with a basket on his back, and insects would fall on his body from time to time.
Especially some insects, when they fall on the skin, they are itchy and painful, and the skin will turn red immediately.
As I picked more and more tea seeds, the backpack became heavier and heavier. When I came across a place where the road was difficult to walk on, I had to worry that the backpack would tilt behind me and drop all the tea seeds that I had picked with great difficulty.
Just as he was about to refuse, Ye Zhen glared at him fiercely: "If our dad can go, why can't you?"
Little Brother Ye: "That's because our dad is stronger and does more work!"
Ye Zhen looked down on me: "Is your strength weak? Who wanted to be lazy yesterday? Didn't want to go home and drive a tricycle to load weeds? Didn't want to run two trips back and forth to carry the weeds? How could you carry two baskets of weeds home at once? Then the weight is light?"
"Are you weaker?"
Actually it’s not small.
Ever since the spiritual energy rose, Ye Zhen replaced all the vegetables and fruits in the house with things rich in spiritual energy, especially the fruits grown in the back mountain. The spiritual fruits were kept by Ye Zhen and not sold, and were slowly consumed by the family.
Not to mention the magical herbs and medicines that were brought back from the deep pit, which were all eaten and drunk by the family.
The purpose of such a long transformation is to allow the body to adapt to the spiritual energy and have a strong enough physique to lay the foundation for future practice.
After all, the Ye family members are all old, so they can only be nursed back to health slowly with spiritual materials, step by step.
Thanks to the rich spiritual energy in the deep pit, the more good things there are the deeper you go, which is enough for a medium-sized sect to develop.
There are only a few people from the Ye family working here, and all the resources are focused on them. Even a pig can become a spirit!
You can imagine how much the Ye family members’ bodies have changed. All of that is contained in their bodies, and because they have not yet practiced the corresponding spiritual root techniques, their bodies are all being transformed bit by bit.
After eating so many things containing spiritual energy, not to mention the physical fitness, everyone is definitely a strong man. Even the elderly Grandpa Ye can climb mountains and walk across rivers at the speed of light!
Except for little brother Ye who was careless and thought he was growing up without noticing, who in the family didn't know the truth?
Ye Zi said that the most basic way to polish yourself is to disperse your energy and run the excess energy to the limbs through various exercises. This way, your physical fitness will become stronger and it will be easier to practice in the future.
They have already delayed for so long, so shouldn't they hurry up and improve their physical foundation?
Once the body has energy, it needs proper exercise and beating. Isn't the most convenient way for farmers to bet actively do various farm work to consume excess energy in the body?
In addition, Ye Zhen looked at the physical condition of each person in the family and gave each person different physical exercise methods.
Now Grandpa and Grandma Ye exercise in the yard every morning. This kind of exercise is a bit like Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin. It is beneficial to enhance the circulation of qi and blood, open up the tendons and meridians, consume calories, etc. It is the most basic practice in the world of immortal cultivation to polish the body before practicing qi.
This kind of practice is about following the laws of nature and practicing steady, long-term cultivation. It can be done as long as you exercise and is suitable for anyone, regardless of whether they have spiritual roots or not. Over the long term, a person's fitness will improve rapidly and it is also the most suitable for the current Ye family members.
Ye Yang is in school every day, working for three days and resting for two days. His progress is much slower than others. This kind of work can be regarded as a kind of cultivation, so it is no wonder that Ye Zhen urges him to do so.
Ye's father naturally knew about it. Seeing that little brother Ye was lazy, he frowned and said, "You keep complaining when I ask you to do some work. Who in the family doesn't work? You are the laziest." Your physical fitness is also the worst, and you need to exercise more.
Little Brother Ye was not convinced and pointed at Ye Zhen who was leisurely eating fruit:
"My sister is the most comfortable, why doesn't she have to pick up tea seeds?"
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes. Wow! You are quite courageous.
"Okay! Cut your living expenses in half, and don't bring any fruits from home." Little guy, I can't control you.
Little brother Ye begged for mercy immediately, "Sister, my dear sister, I was wrong, I can give you less living expenses, but you must bring me some fruit!"
His good friends and good buddies were waiting to eat the fruit, and he had agreed to bring the fruit in exchange for cleaning work. If he didn't bring it, those bastards would definitely tear him apart.
You can do without money, but not fruits!
Ye Zhen snorted coldly, I can’t cure you yet.
After Ye's father took Ye Xiaodi to pick tea seeds with the villagers, Ye Zhen also wanted to go to the river beach to take a look. The wild lotus seeds picked last time can be picked now, and there are also water chestnuts, water caltrops, and potatoes in the muddy puddles. They are so fragrant and sticky!
I don't know what that potato is called, so let's call it yam. It's fragrant and sticky when steamed. It's powdery and slightly sweet when eaten directly, a bit like Lipu taro, but softer, stickier and sweeter than that.
Making steamed pork with rice flour together with spare ribs is a perfect match. The sweet potato has absorbed the meaty flavor of pork and is soft and glutinous. It goes straight into the intestines before you even need to chew it twice, and it is sent into your stomach before you can even taste it.
Stewing sweet potatoes and pork has another kind of rich and red flavor, which can be matched with three bowls of rice!
When Brother Ye came back from vacation, his face looked fatter!
There are also big fish and turtles in the river, wild fruits everywhere on the mountain, persimmons that were not fully ripe last time should be almost ripe this time, and all kinds of newly grown wild mushrooms...
The family sold a lot of the food that was not eaten at home, and Grandma Ye’s shop became more and more prestigious, attracting many buyers. The shop became famous and brought Grandma Ye a lot of income.
There is also the super plant kingdom planted by Ye Zhen, with blueberries as big as lychees, watermelons as big as millstones, and sunflower seed plates as big as baskets...which make the Ye family excited and yearning for it.
When they heard that Ye Zhen was going to the deep mountains, the eyes of the other people in the family lit up.
Ye Zhen: “…”
"You guys want to go too?"
That’s really what I want!
Ever since Grandpa Ye heard about the various strange things in the mountains, he has been curious and wanted to see them with his own eyes. Mother Ye and the others were envious of the various good things in the mountains.
There's no way. After hearing so many good things, everyone wants to take them home. It would be heartbreaking for Grandma Ye to see them rot in the mountains.
It would be fine if you don’t know, but leaving so many good things unpicked is a waste of nature’s gifts.
Ye's mother asked eagerly, "Can we go?"
Grandma Ye was also standing by, with expectation in her eyes. Several pairs of eyes were staring at her, waiting for her answer.
Ye Zhen was stared at by several people and almost surrendered. If he could go, why not go!
The physical fitness of several people has been greatly improved, needless to say, their means of cultivating immortals have also improved. Ye Zhen brought some vegetable and fruit seeds and a stack of talismans, all of which were drawn in the past few days.
There are light body talismans, invisibility talismans, and object storage talismans...
"Come on, grab some seasonings and go have a picnic."
