Chapter 64: Harvesting a Lotus Pond and Achieving Rice Freedom
【Congratulations on obtaining a lotus pond】
Wen Mingyue reached out and clicked to see the detailed description: the lotus pond is 100 square meters in size and has its own clean water, so it can be placed directly on a fishing boat.
It may be of no use to most players, but for Wen Mingyue, who is determined to build his own paradise in the game, it is a good thing to improve the quality of life.
Moreover, freshwater fish can be raised later, enriching the ecosystem.
Tang Xinghan, who was standing by, saw the unstoppable smile on Wen Mingyue's face and understood. It turned out that his eldest son liked farming. No wonder he had always asked him to find more land and fruit trees.
Wen Mingyue patted Tang Xinghan on the side and said, "Xinghan, it's up to you next."
In the following time, under Wen Mingyue's command, Tang Xinghan rolled up his trouser legs, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.
We dug up a lot of silt, several kinds of aquatic plants, two large bundles of reeds with roots, and more than 20 lotus pods.
There are also many lotus roots and beautiful lotus flowers placed by the pond.
She was skewering the meat and Tuanzi was fanning her.
While grilling the meat, he looked at Tang Xinghan who was busy digging, and secretly thought that he would call Tang Xinghan when he went to the island in the future. This kid worked diligently and efficiently, and he didn't even take a break even when he was sweating profusely.
"Tuanzi, bring him another bottle of ice water," and also reminded: "Remember to unscrew the lid."
Tuanzi nodded obediently, took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the ice bucket beside him, and twisted it as he walked.
Under Wen Mingyue's careful teaching, Tuanzi even learned how to thread a skewer, and unscrewing a bottle cap was a piece of cake for him.
Wen Mingyue was very pleased. One by one, they were obedient and sensible.
"Brother Xinghan, the host lets you drink some water first," Tuanzi stretched out his paws and said in a soft voice.
Tang Xinghan reached out to wipe the sweat from his head, and smiled foolishly in the direction of Wen Mingyue. He took it only after being urged by 1688, and then said to Tuanzi: "Thank you Tuanzi."
"You're welcome. Brother Xinghan is tired, so you can take a rest. Rourou will be fine soon."
Tang Xinghan, who had drunk most of the bottle of water, was about to go ashore to rest when he heard the words, but was stopped by 1688 in the system space: "Drink and dig quickly. I have checked your physical data. Dig for another hour and then rest."
Tang Xinghan complained in his heart that the system was bullying him.
Although his talent allows his physical functions to be better than most people, his heart will also be tired.
However, he was not good at speaking and could not defeat the system, so he could only accept his fate and continue to be his excavator.
He dug until half past twelve, then took the water Wen Mingyue had prepared for him and found a place to wash himself.
Finally, I sat in front of a pile of food and drooled:
Spicy grilled fish and prawns, steamed egg with sea urchin, king crab, salmon, tuna sashimi platter, and his favorite iced coleslaw.
What to do, I want to cry.
Wen Mingyue looked at Tang Xinghan, whose tears were welling up in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, why are you crying?"
After saying that, he picked up a grilled mantis shrimp for the other person.
Tang Xinghan wiped away his tears and buried his head in his meal.
Follow the boss and you will have meat to eat.
After eating and drinking, we rested for 10 minutes and continued to the next destination.
I harvested an osmanthus tree, a large-flowered white magnolia, two ginkgo trees, and a white camellia.
Wen Mingyue looked at the time. It was already half past five. It would take almost two hours to drive the flying carpet back to the fishing boat.
In addition, due to the time limit for exploration, Wen Mingyue planned to spend the night on the island for the next few days, and Zhao Lingxin also planned to do the same.
He did it right away and asked Tang Xinghan and Tuanzi to set up the tent.
She had opened the camping tent on the way to the island. There was a lot of space inside and it was enough to sleep four or five people.
The tent was set up before dark, and then a few home-cooked dishes were made with rice. Tang Xinghan drank four large bowls of rice angrily.
Wen Mingyue and Tuanzi slept on one side, and Tang Xinghan slept on the other side, separated by a curtain. In order to have a good sleep, Tuanzi's snoring was silenced.
Early the next morning.
After traveling for more than half an hour and before getting off the flying carpet, we saw a large golden rice field not far away, at least two acres in size, and it seemed to be dry rice.
Wen Mingyue was so excited that she pulled Tuanzi beside her hard, and then they looked at each other: We are rich!
When Tang Xinghan saw the rice fields in front of him, he frantically calculated how long it would take to finish harvesting them.
However, before he could figure it out, Wen Mingyue jumped down with Tuanzi, took out a golden card, and tapped it twice in the air. The golden rice fields in front of him disappeared instantly, without a single grain of rice left.
!!!
Tang Xinghan exclaimed in his heart, “Oh shit.”
Wen Mingyue was still immersed in the joy of the harvest, checking the data sent by the system in her mind.
[Harvested 2,000 kilograms of rice]
I was ecstatic because after threshing and drying, at least half of the rice was left, and some of it could be saved for seeds to make upland rice.
Tang Xinghan, who was standing by, looked at his eldest brother with a look of great fortune on his face, and he wanted it so much, but he had no idea that he had done anything.
At this time, Wen Mingyue turned to him and said, "How big is your fishing boat now?"
Ever since he listened to Wen Mingyue's suggestion to upgrade his fishing boat, he had exchanged supplies for the materials needed to upgrade the fishing boat in the following days. Now it has been upgraded to 500 square meters, which is completely enough for him.
"Boss, it's already 500 square meters."
"I see, that should be enough."
Then he continued: "I want you to help me dry the rice, and then I will give you some."
Wen Mingyue felt that drying the rice was too tiring. When she was in her hometown, what she hated most was drying the rice. It could be considered a test for Tang Xinghan. Of course, not all of it was given to him at once, but divided into several batches.
When Tang Xinghan heard this, he was very touched that the boss trusted him so much, so he quickly replied: "Thank you for your trust, I will guarantee to complete the task."
After that, he gave Wen Mingyue all the valuable items, including 20 kilograms of rice, 8 kilograms of flour, 10 bags of instant noodles, 3 boxes of self-heating rice, and 5 baskets of salted fish, which were stored in his backpack.
Although the boss trusts him, he also needs to show sincerity.
Seeing that his younger brother was so aware, Wen Mingyue, who was still wondering how to ask for the collateral, suddenly smiled.
How enlightened!
1688 in the system space felt that his host was smart for once and that he had a chance of graduating.
They continued exploring and came across a large area of black soil. They both grunted and started working, using their hoes like flying birds.
Finally, 86 square meters of fertile black soil were harvested.
In the afternoon, I easily killed a level 11 mutant wild boar and harvested 20 kilograms of wild boar meat.
Compared to the early explosion rate, the explosion rate in the later period is getting lower and lower, but for Wen Mingyue who has a new life, it is good enough to have any.
A high-level spear can be obtained from the silver treasure chest. After being swung out, you can silently retract it and it can be used repeatedly.
Seeing Tang Xinghan staring at the side with his eyes wide open, Wen Mingyue threw the spear to him: "Here, this is a gift from the boss."
This weapon was of little use to her, and Tang Xinghan was chased by the wild boar and ran for several laps, which was also a disguised form of contribution.
Tang Xinghan, who was holding a spear, immediately had starry eyes.
