Chapter Twenty-Six: The Birth of a New Village Flower
After seven days of careful cultivation, Zhou Yang's first batch of spirit melons finally matured.
However, it is a pity that the yield of spirit melons is relatively low, generally a cucumber can produce a dozen or even more, but Zhou Yang's thirty spirit melons only bear a total of twenty-five.
In the past seven days, Zhou Yang can be said to be tired, and every day he has to set up a sunshade net with Uncle Guo to shade the spirit melon, and at night he has to take care of it himself, so as not to be arched by wild boars, and he was pulled by Lin Xiaotong to repair the road in his spare time.
And it's still a part-time job.
Fortunately, after these seven days, the road is finally flat, at least the tractor is not so bumpy to drive, and the off-road vehicle with a high chassis can also be driven exquisitely.
In the evening, Zhou Yang came to the melon field with a knife and a basket.
"Xiao Yang, is it okay to pick it up? Li Yan looked at the watermelon-like spirit gourd in the melon field and said a little excitedly.
"You can't pick it, you have to cut it. ”
Zhou Yang demonstrated as he spoke, and cut a large piece at the end of a spirit gourd and put it in the basket.
This is what he saw from Shennong's Materia Medica, as long as the roots of the spiritual melon continue to grow, even if there is spiritual water for four seasons, it will not die if it is taken care of properly.
"It's the first time I've seen a melon cut...... Uncle Guo also came to the field with the overlord to help him.
"Tsk...... Is this still a cucumber, Captain Zhou, you are grafted, or it is genetically modified, and it is by no means a pure natural green food. ”
Just as the three of them were busy, a middle-aged man with a hoe stood barefoot in the ground and smiled.
"Uncle Ma, why are you here. Li Yan wondered.
Ma Heping, a large melon grower in the village, has more than a dozen acres of land under his control, and is also one of the highest-income families in the village.
"Natural is not natural, you will know when the spirit melon conference opens tomorrow. Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm sure you'll slap yourself in the face tomorrow, so I don't believe that a cucumber like you can beautify and remove scars. ”
As a big melon grower, Ma Heping knows the truth, it is impossible for a normal cucumber to grow so big, and he is confident that Zhou Yang's spirit melon conference will definitely collapse tomorrow, and he will still be the king of melons in the village.
"Do you want to gamble?" Zhou Yang got up and said.
"Okay, bet what?" Ma Heping said as he put down his hoe.
Zhou Yang smiled: "If my spirit gourd really has no effect, then the land at my door will be transferred to you for free, if you lose, I don't want anything else, just give me half an acre of eggplant land over there." ”
"Okay, that's a deal. Ma Heping immediately agreed, but he secretly scolded Zhou Yang for being a fool, his eggplant land was far less large than the land at Zhou Yang's door, and eggplants were not his main source of income, just home-grown food.
Zhou Yang also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, eggplant and cucumber are in the same season, if he gets the eggplant land, he doesn't have to plant it himself, and it can be directly transformed into spiritual materials like cucumbers.
After harvesting five catties of cucumbers, Zhou Yang returned home, but saw Lin Xiaotong complaining with his mobile phone on the side.
"If you think your phone is bad, give it to me. Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"It's a bad network, there is no Internet in the village, and 4G models come and go, I can only use 2G to check information, hey......" Lin Xiaotong sighed, although she brought a computer, but she didn't have a chance to use it.
Zhou Yang frowned, the network is indeed a big problem, both for the village and for his own melon planting plan.
"Where's the closest network here?"
Lin Xiaotong pointed to the back of the house: "Shencha Villa, but I have talked to it several times, and they are unwilling to let me bring the network cable over." ”
"I see. ”
Keeping the Internet in mind, Zhou Yang began to make potions.
In one night, Zhou Yang made a total of hundreds of bottles, each of which was about twenty-five bottles, enough for the Spirit Melon Conference.
As the sun rose, the villagers rushed to the village committee one after another, and Zhou Yang also hurried away with the box.
"Guo Xiaoyong, if you dare to leave again, I won't marry you. ”
As soon as he arrived at the intersection of the village committee, Zhou Yang heard the voice of Chunhua, and saw that Chunhua was arguing with a lean, yellow-haired young man who killed Matt.
"If I don't marry, I won't marry, I can't find anyone in the cave room at night, it's as black as carbon. Guo Xiaoyong didn't care.
"Guo Xiaoyong, don't regret what you say, I will become beautiful soon, and I will definitely not marry you when the time comes. Chunhua wiped a handful of tears and ran away, but unexpectedly loaded Zhou Yang head-on.
"Captain Zhou. ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Chunhua, this kid will regret it after a while. Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Cut, you are Zhou Yang who just came back, tell you, what Lao Tzu likes is Teacher Xiao, if you are unhappy, you marry this black charcoal. Guo Xiaofeng walked halfway with a cigarette in his mouth, and then turned back and said: "Also, don't think that I don't know that the old man wants you to go to me and come back, Lao Tzu is on the road, and he dares to come and abolish you." ”
"Hey...... The second stage of secondary school is in the late stage. Zhou Yang shook his head, he remembered that he was about the same age as Guo Xiaoyong, but he didn't dislike it very much.
When the village committee, Zhou Yang and Chunhua arrived, more than 100 people had gathered on the stage of the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Today is the Linggua Conference, we first welcome the Su reporter from Binhai and the Chu students from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and of course, the guests from the Shencha Villa. ”
Lin Xiaotong stood on the stage a little excited, she felt that this was an opportunity, if Zhou Yang's spirit melon was a hit, then Daoxiang Village would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Zhou Yang looked at everyone, and saw a girl with a ponytail standing next to Liu Yun, still holding a mobile phone in her hand to shoot, and on the other side there was a man watching the camera and a long-haired woman holding a microphone.
Reporter, students from the University of Chinese Medicine are here.
However, Zhou Yang stopped his eyes on an old man on the other side, this old man was wearing a hat and an extraordinary temperament, and the middle-aged man next to him was also wearing a brand-name suit.
This should be the people of Shencha Villa.
"Drink our spirit melon grower Zhou Yang on the field. ”
With Lin Xiaotong's shout, Zhou Yang took the box to the stage and took out the four small blue bottles.
The people below whispered, and after a while, Ma Heping walked out.
"Don't be mysterious, it's not that you can whiten, but you show me your beauty. Ma Heping said loudly.
"Yes, I think it's better to let the famous black girl spring flower in our village go up. Guo Xiaoyong sneered.
The crowd erupted in laughter.
Chunhua almost cried on the stage, an eighteen-year-old girl, ridiculed by hundreds of people as a black girl, this feeling she never wanted to have in her life.
Zhou Yang let Chunhua lie on the chair, and then took out a face-sized cucumber and skin beautifying potion.
"Fifteen minutes later, our village will have a new village flower. ”
After saying that, Zhou Yang smeared the potion all over Chunhua's face, then kneaded it gently, and after about five minutes, he used cucumber slices to stick it tightly.
"I know, what is about to be born in our village is a black rose, haha......" Guo Xiaoyong's words made the whole village laugh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in Daoxiang Village, and Zhou Yang, a small farmer, is beautifying a girl at the black charcoal level, and we will see what the effect is in ten minutes. ”
As the voice of reporter Su sounded, everyone found that things became more grand.
Ten minutes passed quietly.
Zhou Yang personally brought up a basin of water, and then took off Chunhua's cucumber, only to see that Chunhua's face looked like a layer of asphalt had been touched, and it looked very disgusting.
"Huh...... Well, the black roses have turned into sesame paste. Guo Xiaoyong shook his head and smiled at Ma Heping, as if he had seen the result.
"Zhou Yang, thank you for the land, I will take good care of it for you. Ma Heping said with a smile.
Zhou Yang still had a smile on his face: "Spring flower, wash your face!"
Chunhua nodded and began to wash her face under Zhou Yang's guidance.
Then came the time to witness the miracle. ”
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he saw Chunhua raise her head from the basin.
Quiescence!
The entire village committee was silent, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.
In front of everyone's eyes, Chunhua's black charcoal skin, which was originally indistinguishable from her facial features, became as white and tender as clotted fat at the moment, and she could feel it smooth even without touching it.
And the face with delicate facial features and exquisite appearance also jumped from a black rose to a lily after turning white, and the beauty is intoxicating.
"What's wrong?" Chunhua wondered.
Zhou Yang smiled, took out the mirror that had been prepared a long time ago, and put it in front of Chunhua.
Chunhua was blindfolded, held the mirror and looked at it for a full three minutes before covering her mouth, tears came out of her eyes, and then she threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms and kissed Zhou Yang.
"Chunhua, who asked you to kiss her, you are my wife, come down. ”
Suddenly, Guo Xiaoyong roared loudly, and the corners of his mouth were already flowing out.
"Don't you dislike him for being black, Chunhua, my son Ma Dashuai is in college, how about you being my daughter-in-law?" Ma Heping grabbed his daughter-in-law without grace.
"Hmph, none of you are good people, especially you Guo Xiaoyong, I won't marry you, I'm going to marry Brother Zhou. Chunhua said angrily.
Zhou Yang smiled a little silly, and he was still proud, patted Chunhua's shoulder and said, "You don't need to worship brother, brother is a legend." ”
Suddenly, there was fierce applause below, especially the village women were excited, and Zhou Yang would be eighteen years old again in the future.
The Su reporter on the side finally came back to his senses and began to report extremely exaggeratedly.
"Wang Po sells melons and takes selfies and boasts, you Daoxiang Village gangs up to deceive people, it's not good. ”
At this moment, a very discordant voice sounded not far away, and the owner of the voice was a middle-aged man beside the old man in a hat.
"Manager Wang, we're not lying. Lin Xiaotong said with some displeasure.
"Manager Wang, are you from Shencha Villa?" Zhou Yang said with a smile as he sent Chunhua off the stage.
"That's right, I'm the general manager of Shencha Villa, I heard that you have a conference, so I have nothing to do with my friends to have fun, and by the way, expose you as a little village liar. ”
"Liar? How about we make a bet?"
"What are you going to bet on?" said Manager Wang.
"Bet on the effect of my cucumber potion, and if I lose, I'll give you a million. ”
