Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi took the peanuts home.

Before they even entered the house, Xia Lunong couldn't wait to shout inside: "Brother, are you guys home? I'll show you something good!"

Xia Huoqu had just come back and was drinking water from a cup with one hand on his waist. Hearing this, he paused, "What good stuff?"

Xia Lunong pushed the door open with her butt, grabbed the rope of the backpack with both hands, bent over, and trotted over with a smile on her face, "If I say it's a good thing, it's a good thing. It's in the backpack."

Xia Huoqu exerted his strength, his arm muscles bulged, lifted the backpack on his back, and put it on the ground, "Let me see."

As he said this, he pulled open the peanut seedlings covering the backpack, revealing the peanuts inside.

"Can we pick the peanuts now?" Xia Huoqu picked up a peanut and gently pinched it. The shell was still tender and water came out.

Xia Huoqu put the peanut in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. The whole peanut was tender white. After peeling off the shell, the peanut kernel inside was only covered with a light red layer.

Xia Huoqu took out the peanut kernel and threw it into his mouth. Then he praised to his younger brother who was looking expectantly beside him: "It tastes good, tender and sweet."

Xia Lunong really wanted to be praised by him, but not to hear him praise this, "Brother, look at the backpack again!"

"What's in the backpack?" Xia Huoqu lowered his head to look, and soon found something different, "Why are there so many peanut kernels in one peanut?"

"Really." Xia Lunong said, "A peanut plant, at least 80% of them have five peanuts, and each peanut seedling produces two to three times more peanuts than other ordinary peanuts. I only pulled out three plants, and I got a big handful of peanuts."

Xia Huoqu commented: "A rare harvest. Did you use your supernatural power? How many times did you use it?"

"Sometimes I use it, I don't know exactly how many times, it seems to be twenty-four or twenty-five times."

When the two brothers were talking, Kong Zhi and Yan Xinian came in.

Yan Xinian heard a little bit of this and said with great interest, "Where are the peanuts? Let me take a look."

Xia Huoqu changed the direction of the basket in his hand and put it in front of him, indicating that he could look.

Yan Xinian grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his palm to examine them carefully. "It looks smaller than ordinary peanuts?"

Ordinary peanuts have a short shell, but are plump. Xia Lunong's peanut shell is long and thin, which makes people feel that the peanut kernel inside is also smaller than ordinary peanut kernels.

Xia Lunong said, "It's okay, not too fat, but not much smaller either. Ordinary peanuts have such big shells that the peanuts inside will shake when you shake them, but the peanuts we grow don't do that, they grow completely attached to the shell and are very full."

Xia Lunong said as she shook the shell for Yan Xinian to hear, and sure enough, the shell was full of full peanut kernels, and it wouldn't move at all.

Yan Xinian smiled and praised, "It's really good."

Xia Lunong peeled one herself, threw the sweet and tender peanut into her mouth, and said, "It's my fault that the peanut kernel is smaller. I didn't notice that so many peanuts could grow before, and I didn't apply fertilizer in time. If I had noticed, it might have expanded a little more."

Xia Huo said, "This is already very good. We will have experience when we plant it again next year."

"Hahaha, okay, we will plant more next year." Xia Lunong said, "I feel that the taste of lard is a bit strange. Plant more peanuts next year, and we will eat peanut oil all year round."

"Well, rent more fields next year."

The fields of the base belong to the public base, but they are only allocated to individuals for planting, and they are not allowed to buy and sell.

If they want to plant, they can only rent them.

Xia Lunong pondered for a moment, "We have to plant at least three mu of land next year?"

"There are two of us planting. If we are too busy, we can ask someone to help. It won't be too tiring."

Yan Xinian smiled, "Winter hasn't even arrived yet. Let's talk about next year's things next year."

Xia Lunong took the peanuts into the kitchen and scrubbed them carefully. After scrubbing them twice, the mud on the outside was all rubbed off, revealing the white and tender inside.

The tender peanuts were placed in a basket to drain the water, and Xia Lunong went to kill the yellow eel.

The yellow eel was slippery, and the one Kong Zhi caught was very big. Xia Lunong pinched it twice but failed to hold it firmly, and the yellow eel ran away. The water splashed by its tail splashed on his face. In order to avoid it, he slashed down with the knife, almost slashing his hand.

Kong Zhi said from behind, "Let me do it."

Xia Lunong turned around and smiled at him, making way.

Kong Zhi took the knife from his hand, stood in front of the chopping board, and pinched the eel's head with his thin and bony palm. He slapped the eel unconscious with the back of the knife.

Xia Lunong stepped back a few steps, sat on the low wooden stool in front of the stove, and watched his back as he cooked the eel.

Light shone in from outside the wooden window.

Xia Lunong looked at him with his back to the light, and felt that his movements were very methodical and quite at ease. Even when he was cutting open an eel, he was leisurely in a different way.

"Okay." Kong Zhi said in a low voice.

Xia Lunong hurried forward.

Kong Zhi put the washed and chopped eels into a plate, and carried a large chopping board to the sink, scooped up some water, and cleaned the wooden chopping board inch by inch, and then brought it over to Xia Lunong to cut green onions, garlic, and chili peppers.

Both of them moved quickly.

Xia Lunong marinated the eels briefly, heated up the oil in a cold pan, and started to fry the eels.

When the eels were fried until golden brown, he added chili peppers and young peanuts to simmer. When the soup in the pot boiled, he transferred the whole pot of eels to the clay stove and continued to simmer it slowly with charcoal.

He then took the pot out of the pot and made stir-fried pumpkin and beans, making three dishes for breakfast.

The rice was served, and everyone had a big bowl of rice.

Xia Lunong couldn't wait to grab a large piece of yellow eel with chopsticks.

The yellow eel meat was very fragrant, and it was covered with a layer of slightly sweet and spicy soup. He took a sip and sipped the soup and meat together, leaving only a small piece of bone.

For a moment, the spicy and sweet yellow eel fragrance burst in his mouth. Xia Lunong was so spicy that he took a breath of cool air. He took two mouthfuls of rice, but the spicier it was, the more he wanted to eat.

The yellow eel was already very delicious, and the tender peanuts in the yellow eel casserole were even better.

The tender peanut shells absorbed the soup, and when you bite it, the soup splashed in your mouth.

Suck it a little, then peel off the peanut shells, and inside is the full and soft peanut kernels.

Xia Lunong specially retained the peanut shells when making this dish. The peanut kernels inside absorbed the freshness of the eel and the spicy flavor of the soup, while retaining the original flavor of the peanut kernels. It is fragrant and sweet when you take a bite.

Xia Lunong took a bite and looked to the side.

His brother and the others all looked satisfied.

Yan Xinian took a bite and said, "These peanuts are so delicious. Xiao Nong's cooking is great, and the quality of the peanuts is also great."

Xia Lunong said, "Peanuts grown with supernatural powers must be delicious."

He ate as he spoke, and soon his lips turned red from the spiciness, making him look a little chubby, adding a bit of childishness to him.

His brother poured him some water, "Have a drink."

"Thank you, brother." Xia Lunong took a breath and drank a big gulp of cool water. "We have grown peanuts. Should we also tell the White House? Let Professor Yan come and take a look."

"Okay, let them look at the bids and go back to do scientific research."

Xia Lunong nodded, "It's a good opportunity to ask Professor Yan to see when is the best time to pick our peanuts."

His brother smiled, "You're going out to play after picking the peanuts, right?"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, Xia Lunong asked Yan Mingqing to go to the fields with him.

Yan Mingqing didn't quite believe it at first, but after listening to Xia Lunong's description and seeing the peanuts he picked, he carefully observed them and his eyes were full of wonder.

He wrote and drew on the notebook he carried with him, and muttered to himself for a long time.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xia Lunong ignored him and went to pull up the old bean seedlings.

There were still many beans on the bean seedlings, and Xia Lunong picked them one by one. The

tender beans will be broken off and put into the pot later to make a dry pot of beans. The old beans can also be torn apart and the beans inside can be put into the pot together. The ones

that are neither too old nor tender can be selected, the heads and tails are removed, the insect eyes are torn out, and they are washed and taken out to the sun. After drying, they can be kept for eating in winter when there are no vegetables.

Xia Lunong planted a total of 20 bean plants. He used a hoe to split and dig, and soon he had chopped down a large area.

These chopped beans do not need to be transported to other places, but can be directly placed on the vegetable patch to be exposed to the sun. After drying, they can be tied up and taken home to be burned as firewood.

"Xiao Nong——"

Yan Mingqing called Xia Lunong when he was concentrating on cleaning the bean sprouts.

"Hey." Xia Lunong raised his head and asked with a hoe, "Professor Yan, what's up?"

Yan Mingqing asked, "Do you remember how many times you used your supernatural power when you were planting peanuts?"

His brother had asked this question in the morning. Xia Lunong calculated it again in his mind, "A total of twenty-four or twenty-five times."

"How did you use it when you used it? Did you try your best to input your supernatural power? Or did you input a little bit while you were at it?"

Xia Lunong thought for a while, "I tried my best twice, and the rest of the time I just input a little bit while you were at it?"

Yan Mingqing wrote down his answer and asked a lot of questions.

After asking all the questions, Yan Mingqing asked, "Can I pull up three peanut plants and take them back as specimens?"

Xia Lunong looked at the few peanuts he had planted to begin with, "Three plants?"

Yan Mingqing said, "It's not for nothing. Can I exchange them with rice?"

"Okay." Xia Lunong reminded, "But Professor Yan, your research should be counted as part of the research in the White Building. You should set up a project and let the White Building provide the funding. The final results should also be placed in the White Building."

Xia Lunong was influenced by his former brother, so he still had a basic sense of defense.

Yan Mingqing smiled and said, "I'll apply when I get back."

"Then you pull them out. For these three plants, one plant is worth five kilograms of rice. You just need to give me fifteen kilograms of rice."

Yan Mingqing agreed and walked around the two acres of peanut fields for a few times. Finally, he pulled out the first plant at the edge.

He also pulled it out with one hand at first, but after pulling hard, he found that he couldn't pull it out.

Yan Mingqing was surprised and tried again, but his face turned red and he still couldn't pull it out.

Xia Lunong saw his movements and hurriedly said, "The root systems of these peanuts are particularly developed. Professor Yan, you have to pull them out with your hands. I'll help you."

"No need."

Yan Mingqing put the paper and pen in one hand on the ground, held his breath, and pulled hard with both hands. Finally, he pulled out the peanut seedling he had his eyes on. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Good guy." Yan Mingqing panted, "There are so many peanuts down there."

"Yes, there are quite a lot." Xia Lunong walked over, "Professor Yan, which two plants do you like? I'll help you pull them out."

Yan Mingqing didn't hesitate this time, holding his waist and pointing, "That one, and that one, thank you, Xiao Nong."

Xia Lunong walked over, pulled up the two peanuts he mentioned with both hands, gently shook off the mud on the peanuts, and handed them to Yan Mingqing.

Yan Mingqing took it and asked, "Xiao Nong, can you use your superpowers again? I have an idea."

"Ah?" Xia Lunong was puzzled, "What idea? For the peanuts?"

"For the use of your superpowers."
