Chapter 142: The Farmer's Life

"Hotaru, when will you make a decision? We've been sitting here for over four months now. ”

Yan'er flew around outside, and he didn't see a delicious monster, so he could only fly back angrily, yawning and asking.

Jin Hotaru sat on the branch of a large tree on a busy avenue with his knees crossed, of course, he was not visible to the humans passing by, his eyes carefully watching the people coming and going below.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do yet. He replied without raising his head.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" Flame let out a series of strange screams.

Since they left the mountains and forests, they have been sitting here watching people, Yan'er is eager to walk around, but because Jin Hotaru claims that she doesn't know where to start learning to be a man, she needs to stay here to observe, who knows this observation, more than four months have passed!

"Hotaru, how long do you have to think about it? I can't stand it! Is it difficult for you to change into a person casually? Is your mana regressing?" Flame flew around him several times, screaming noisily.

"It's just that you have become a human on the outside, but you don't have a human being. Jin Ying said what Zou Zhen had said to him.

"Do you want to become a human even 'inside'?" Yan'er asked, as she began to scan the passers-by, figuring out which one would be the most appropriate for Jin Ying to take to her.

"I probably already understand something......" Jin Hotaru said in time to save the innocent humans who were passing by.

Prevent one of them from becoming the fate of the flame for the golden firefly to use as a physical dissection to prove what kind of sample is inside the human race, and continue to walk their path safely.

Jin Ying looked at the busy people and said thoughtfully, "I think to be a human being, you must first have a job. ”

As they walked in the downtown area, there were drivers pulling rickshaws, hawkers hawking along the street while carrying burdens, tailors in the shop making cheongsams tailored to customers, businessmen with gold-rimmed glasses on their noses, and teachers holding a stack of books in his arms......

"To be a human being, you must first find one thing to do!" Jin Ying said with certainty, he really learned a lot and learned a lot in the more than four months that he sat and observed human beings.

"Oh," Yan'er asked with a half-nodding nod, "and what are you going to do?"

"What to do?" Jin Ying began to ponder as she looked at the crowd coming and going.

After another four months, spring filled the earth, and the tree on which the golden firefly sat began to grow new leaves.

Yan'er caught a pheasant today, caught a hare, and ate two roasted sweet potatoes, and lay down contentedly in the crook of Jin Ying's arm, ready to take a comfortable nap.

It has a generous nature, and although it stays in this place every day and eats all the monsters around it, it can only start eating cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is not as impatient as it was half a year ago.

After eating and drinking enough every day, when it was bored, it teased the Zhang family's dog, teased the Li family's cow, and even went to the school to listen to a few words in the book, and came back to show off to Jin Ying, and lived a very free life.

One day, Jin Hotaru suddenly asked it, "Yan'er, what should I do?"

In fact, Yan'er had long forgotten about this matter, and when she saw Jin Ying sitting on that tree for more than eight months, she thought that Jin Ying had come to the human race, and that she had to do one thing to be a human being, and that thing to do was to be part of this tree.

"You ask me what I'm going to do?" Yan'er was lying in Jin Ying's arms taking a nap, and it asked in a daze, "Then you bake sweet potatoes, I want to eat another one anyway, chirp, chirp......" After saying that, it fell asleep.

"Roasted sweet potatoes ......" Jin Ying looked at the small smoking stall under the tree, and the stall owner was taking out black charcoal-like things from it, handing the roasted sweet potatoes to the customers, and taking the money they handed over.

"Roasting something called sweet potatoes on a fire, fire-related work...... "He thinks it's doable, and he should be able to do it after living with Yan'er for so long."

"Roasted sweet potato...... Roasted sweet potato ...... Sweet and delicious...... Cheap and tasty ......" After fiddling around for most of the day, he began to sell his roasted sweet potatoes like a human.

As time passed, Jin Ying felt that he had become accustomed to this kind of selling life, but for some reason, for several days, he couldn't sell a roasted sweet potato.

When people passed by him, they would cover their noses and rush over as fast as they could, even beggars not far away.

Yan'er was lying in the stove, in fact, it was Jin Ying who didn't know where to find charcoal, so he directly used Yan'er as fuel, Yan'er threw the roasted sweet potatoes into his mouth one by one, and nodded his head to praise Jin Ying's craftsmanship.

"Well, it tastes good, and no one buys it anyway, so I'll eat another one." Yan'er found another reason that she thought was legitimate, and threw another one into her mouth.

"Did I bake it too badly?" After so many days, Jin Hotaru finally woke up a little, "But Yan'er is very happy to eat, there must be something else......"

That's because the sweet potatoes are baked, but Yan'er thinks it's delicious, is it because Jin Hotaru cultivated Yan'er's peculiar taste, or Yan'er's taste cultivated Jin Ying'er's strange cooking method, maybe Jin Hotaru will never understand.

Hotaru was always determined to give up, but when summer came, he couldn't find any sweet potatoes to bake, so he had to consider changing careers.

When he found out that humans who make money by roasting sweet potatoes will do something different after this season, otherwise, he would have been there forever, roasting for fifty years and three hundred years.

After more than five months of roasting sweet potatoes, Jin Hotaru sat down on the tree again and began to think about what to do in the future.

"Hotaru, why don't you go kill the pig. At Yan'er's suggestion, Hotaru began his career as a butcher.

Eventually, his career as a butcher came to an end, as all the pigs he could find were eaten by Yan'er.

"Hotaru, you go and make the pancakes. ”

"Hotaru, go sell steamed buns. ”

"Hotaru, you go and become a teacher. ”

Eight years later, Jin Hotaru sat on that tree a little depressed.

He may not be able to do anything, and he doesn't have the talent to achieve positive results, but he won't give up, and he won't go back to the mountains and forests. Maybe it's because he hasn't learned to "give up".

He has always believed that there are so many different industries, and there will always be one line that suits him.

"Hotaru, what are you going to do?" Yan'er couldn't think of anything else that Jin Hotaru could do now, and she generously allowed Jin Hotaru to make her own decisions.

Jin Hotaru looked at the few people walking under the tree and was stunned.

"Yan'er," Jin Hotaru scratched her head, "or let's go farming......"

"Lao Tzu is not doing it, I am not affected by this bird's anger, Lao Tzu will go home and farm!" a man threw the book in his hand on the ground, left his companion, and brushed his sleeves away.

"Farming?" Jin Hotaru seems to have heard many times among humans in the past few years.

For example, when you are angry about working outside, you say, "It's a big deal to go home and farm!"

If you can't make money outside, you say, "You can't starve to death when you go home and farm!"

I was really desperate outside, so I said, "If you can't do it, go back to your hometown and farm!"

Jin Ying patted her head, and a flash of inspiration appeared, it seems that this kind of land is the ultimate way for human beings to solve the problem of survival, and if you can't do anything else, human beings will go to farming, and at least you will have a way to live and starve to death, so you should be able to learn to farm, right?

Since it is learning to be a "human", of course, there are no spells in the cultivation of human beings, so Jin Hotaru can only use spells like humans.

However, if you don't use spells, it's not easy to just make the rice grow ears healthily, or let the corn field grow corn.

Jin Hotaru had an acre and a half of arable land, and although his field was pitiful compared to the surrounding fields that stretched to the foot of the distant mountains, it was enough for Jin Hotaru.

After several years of experimentation, he planted one acre of small rice, and half an acre of land was used to grow corn and a dozen kinds of vegetables.

Over the years, he has gained a general understanding of crops, and this year, for the first time, a large amount of rice and vegetables have been harvested in the field, and now he is starting to think about what to do with the harvest.

"Most of it is taken and sold, leaving a small portion to be eaten for yourself. It took him days to figure out where the other farmers' crops went.

He divided the things into two piles, and then divided the big ones into categories, and then took the big ones to human towns and sold them.

When he got home, he greeted Yan'er excitedly: "Yan'er, let's eat the rest." ”

Yan'er frowned, wordlessly looking at the vegetables it didn't like to eat the most. So they continued to live a very regular farming life.

They plant a fixed crop at a fixed time every year, harvest it at a fixed time, and then sell eighty percent of it.

Yan'er pinched her nose and ate these things for the sake of Jin Ying, and they ate the remaining 20% in one day, and then planted the same crop, and sold it in the same way, ate it, and planted it again......

Sometimes there are years when there is too much rain, sometimes there is no rain in the drought, and sometimes something called locusts flies out, and Yan'er catches one and eats it: "Phew, it's unpalatable!"

Locusts devour crops, and when they encounter these disasters, Jin Yingying does not use spells, they all learn from humans to deal with them, even if this year's crops are not harvested, isn't there still next year, the year after next......

As long as there is land, things can grow again, and you can expect next year, he is a skilled farmer, but he doesn't know if he is more like a human man.
