Chapter 102 Meow Meow
"No, you came at the right time." Looking at the duck in Niutou's hand, Jian Yunlan said immediately.
His eyes began to light up.
It is indeed the best stuffed duck. After Niutou removed the duck's internal organs, Jian Yunlan entered the portable spiritual field yesterday to pump up air, brush the ducks with water, stuff them with stuffing, etc. There were more than seventy ducks in total. Twenty of them were sold at the stall today, and fifty are left.
But what to do with these fifty ducks made Jian Yunlan feel troubled.
If I keep it until tomorrow to sell it at the stall, it won’t be fresh anymore…
Being interrupted like this, Jian Yunlan fell into deep thought and forgot what Taotie had just said.
Taotie's face suddenly turned dark.
The bull head glanced at Taotie cautiously, and then looked at Jian Yunlan pitifully: "Mr. Jian, I, the old bull, came at an inopportune time and disturbed Master Taotie from talking to you."
Niutou was still wearing the simple blue work clothes. He looked tall and strong with a broad back and broad waist.
But what he said was so...
There is a hint of tea fragrance in the simplicity.
Taotie almost staggered in anger, and looked at Jian Yunlan angrily: "Where did this bull head come from, why does it smell like tea?"
"Oh, Master Taotie, I forgot to introduce him to you," Jian Yunlan said, "This is our new employee, Niutou. Niutou, this is Master Taotie."
Niutou wiped his hands on his trousers before extending his hand to Taotie with a sunny and cheerful smile.
Taotie reluctantly shook hands with him, then quickly pulled his hand back: "New employee? Why are you hiring new employees?"
Isn’t having this seat enough?
Who knows what the ghost messenger from the underworld is thinking?
Taotie didn't even look at Niutou directly, and his whole body was full of vigilance.
The bull head showed a slightly sad but arrogant smile: "It's reasonable for Lord Taotie to look down on me. After all, I'm just an ordinary bull head. I usually just plant crops and plow the land. I can't help Mr. Jian too much. How can a bull like me be worthy of..."
Hearing this, Taotie almost fainted again.
What a great cup of aged Biluochun!
Jian Yunlan had already fallen into the trap and said, "Mr. Niu, how can you be so self-deprecating? You are willing to be the spiritual farm manager, which is a great help!"
Taotie looked at Jian Yunlan with a look of grievance and accusation, like a desperate housewife:
"I don't agree, human. You can't believe how hypocritical he speaks! Hypocritical! I object to his joining!"
"Taotie, you should be a little more generous," Jian Yunlan patted the silver-haired boy on the shoulder, "Come, let's go to the portable spiritual farm to see the results of Niutou's farming."
After saying this, Jian Yunlan's mind moved.
The surrounding space was slightly distorted and the airflow accelerated.
With a flash of light, the three of them landed on the ground again and came to a space.
The moment they landed, Jian Yunlan and Taotie opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Blue sky, white clouds and a gentle breeze.
The greenery is like an endless velvet carpet, spread across this vast land. The fields were divided into neat rows, the golden rice was slightly bent in the wind, various crops were planted in different areas, the grapes on the vines were ripe, and the pear trees were about to bear fruit.
Only a few days had passed, but compared to the last time Jian Yunlan came, the farmland had become bigger, more beautiful, and more scaled.
"Welcome to our farmland." The Bull Head smiled.
In addition to the rice, grapes, and pear trees that I saw last time, Jian Yunlan also planted many other crops, such as hawthorn, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries...
The speed of time and space flow in the portable spiritual field is basically the same as that of the outside world, but the crops mature much faster.
Seeing Jian Yunlan's gaze, Niu Tou explained: "These seeds are all found by me in the space. They seem to be the seeds that come with the portable spiritual field... However, the quality of these seeds is 'ordinary grade', and there are no higher-grade seeds."
It seems that higher-level seeds can only be obtained through stall tasks.
Jian Yunlan nodded.
In addition to crops, Niutou also built a small house to raise chickens and ducks.
For example, regarding the batch of ducks that Jian Yunlan had sent in before, Niutou not only processed seventy of them according to Jian Yunlan's requirements, but also kept a few to lay eggs, so that he would have duck eggs to eat in the future, and maybe even make salted duck eggs.
Niutou even dug a small pond and put some fish fry in it.
At this time, a few chickens and ducks walked leisurely in front of the farmland. Under the blue sky, the farmland was full of greenery...
This is so pleasing to the eyes!
Not only Jian Yunlan was amazed, even Taotie stopped complaining, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the rows of crops and chickens and ducks.
Jian Yunlan and Taotie's eyes lit up, and their brain circuits miraculously overlapped:
——Hawthorn can be used to make candied haws; grapes and watermelons can be squeezed into juice; chickens and ducks are even better, chickens can be made into fried chicken, and ducks are natural roast ducks; potatoes can also be used to make mashed potatoes; soybeans can be ground into tofu or even stinky tofu; the harvested rice can also be used to make fried rice...
These are all natural and pollution-free crops grown at home!
Jian Yunlan's hands were itching, and the desire to set up a stall was stirring.
"If I am teleported to the apocalyptic plane someday," Jian Yunlan thought, "this portable spiritual field managed by Niutou will definitely come in handy."
Aren’t many apocalyptic planes filled with scarce resources, depleted food, and everyone fighting over a bite to eat?
Now that they have this portable spiritual field and a source of supply, they don’t have to worry about the snack stand’s performance at all!
As she thought about it, Jian Yunlan couldn't help but reveal a longing smile.
On the other side, Taotie looked at the crops and then at Jian Yunlan, his saliva almost flowing down the corners of his mouth.
…When he looked at the Bull Head again, Taotie’s eyes were very different.
Shennong, this is the real Shennong!
"Mr. Niutou, welcome to join us," Taotie said modestly, "I am your senior. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."
Niutou smiled shyly, lowered his head and said shyly: "Thank you, Mr. Taotie. I hope you don't find me annoying."
“……” Taotie felt a chill and silently withdrew his hand.
It’s too scary for a bull head with such a huge body to make such an expression!
.
In the dimension of "The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old", the ancestral home of the Huo family.
As one of the top wealthy families in the entire Beijing circle, the Huo family's ancestral home exudes the word "not low-key" from head to toe. It is almost like what is described in every novel about wealthy families: a huge manor, a fountain in front of the door, magnificent buildings, European Roman columns... and so on.
As the steward of the Huo family's ancestral home, Steward Li is a seasoned man who has worked in the Huo family for nearly forty years and has watched Huo Ye grow up.
However, the ancestral home has been quiet for a long time since the young masters and young ladies grew up and moved out.
Even Madam Huo herself did not like living in this luxurious but empty space. She lived in her duplex on the top floor of the city center most of the time, and would only return to her ancestral home when there was something important to announce.
And today is such a special day.
Old Madam Huo came back very early, carrying a take-away bag in a mysterious manner, and even went into the kitchen to give instructions.
"Butler Li, I have invited Huo Ye to my home for dinner today to discuss important matters," Mrs. Huo instructed, "Send someone to prepare well. Don't make any mistakes."
Upon hearing the news that Huo Ye was coming back, Butler Li became excited for the first time in a long time!
The eldest young master is coming back!
Butler Li could no longer remember how long it had been since the eldest young master had returned to the ancestral home. Today, he must present his best state to the young master and make him linger.
"Yes, Madam," Butler Li bowed respectfully, "Should the chef prepare the meal for the young master, or should we hire a chef from Bamboo Garden to cook it?"
The Huo family’s chef is also first-rate, but sometimes when Mrs. Huo gets tired of the chef’s dishes, she will hire Zhuyuan’s chef to cook at home.
But today, when she heard the word "Zhu Yuan", Mrs. Huo frowned and said, "Don't mention Zhu Yuan anymore. It's unlucky."
"As for the food...I will make my own arrangements," said Mrs. Huo.
Butler Li immediately nodded in agreement.
But I was a little confused inside.
The lady and the eldest son usually don't care much about food. When they eat dinner together, they mostly talk about business matters and it is very likely that they don't even pick up their chopsticks a few times during the entire meal.
But seeing what the lady means...
For today's dinner, the 'eating' part seems to be very important?
“…”
At six o'clock in the evening, Huo Ye walked into the Huo family's ancestral home.
He felt a little headache.
A lot happened today.
First it was the live broadcast room, and then his mother, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, suddenly called him and asked him to come back to the ancestral home for dinner tonight. Huo Ye originally wanted to refuse on the grounds that he was busy with work, but his mother's tone was unyielding and even threatening.
Therefore, even though he was extremely reluctant, Huo Ye still came.
Huo Ye always has complicated feelings towards his mother.
When I was a child, my father passed away very early, and it was my mother who supported the Huo Group on her own and climbed step by step to the top of the entire Beijing circle. When he was a child, Huo Ye admired, envied and yearned for his mother who was resolute and decisive and stood at the pinnacle of power. He often longed to get his mother's attention and did many rebellious things for this.
The older he got, the clearer Huo Ye became.
The mother only cares about herself and her career. She doesn't care about her children or irrelevant people. She is like an emotionless robot.
Huo Ye firmly believed that there was no one and no thing in this world that could make his mother open her heart, let down her guard, and love him without any reservations.
The dinner between Huo Ye and his mother was more like a work meeting than a dinner.
Although there are always Western cold dishes on the table, they are exquisite but leave no appetite. His mother and he barely touched their chopsticks, just holding their glasses and talking about work and family matters...
Today, it is probably the same.
So when Huo Ye closed the car door, he felt heavy and reluctant.
Until, that familiar and heavy door opened to both sides——
Like a warm breeze in winter, a rich and warm fragrance comes to your face like a tide.
That is the pure aroma of roast duck. Just smelling it reminds me of the delicate duck meat bubbling in the red brine, the fat under the bright red crispy skin seeping out little by little, and a layer of golden oil floating on the thick soup, steaming hot, which arouses the greed in people's stomachs...
Huo Ye: “?”
Did he go to the wrong place?
