Tang Fan looked at the large bundle of things that the cheap master was carrying, and his eyes were full of doubts.

What Ding Yiyuan was carrying in his hand was an ear of golden objects, each with slender stems and leaves, which looked like a grain crop.

Tang Fan thought it was an ear of rice at first glance, but after a closer look, this kind of grain was a little different from the ear of rice, but more like a combination of sorghum ears and ears of rice, and the grains of this grain were very large, and the round golden grains were densely packed together, one next to the other, like a long bunch of small grapes, heavy, and it was very gratifying to look at.

[What kind of crop is this?I didn't see this thing planted nearby, where did the old man get it?] Tang Fan was very puzzled, he didn't understand where these grains came from, but then he suddenly came to his senses.

There's nothing like it nearby, but there's another world outside the wooden door in his backyard.

"Master, these rice-ear-like things of yours can't be obtained from the other world, right?"

"If you didn't get it from another world, where else could you get it! Old man Ding glared at him angrily.

Tang Fan had long been accustomed to the old man's habit of scolding himself when he seized the opportunity, he was just surprised: "It's really from the other world, so why haven't I seen it before?"

"You were so timid that you didn't even dare to enter the forest of the other world, where can you see this good thing!" Old Man Ding sneered with disdain.

"You mean this thing was found in the otherworldly forest? What are you doing in there......

Tang Fan complained a little about the old man's 'entering without telling him' at first, after all, the wooden door in his heart belonged to him, even if the old man was now his master, he couldn't just go in and out without saying a word, which made him feel violated.

But halfway through the words, he stopped, not only did he not complain, but he was also a little moved and guilty, because he suddenly thought of why the old man went to the Otherworldly Forest alone.

The old man had just told himself yesterday that he was going to live alone in the Otherworldly Forest for a while, and he went to the forest alone today...... The old man should be going to see if there is any danger inside, and if he can really survive alone in it.

And Old Man Ding's reply confirmed Tang Fan's conjecture.

The old man waved his hand very casually: "The old man has nothing to do anyway, just go inside for a walk, the danger factor of this forest is much smaller than the rainforest that the old man went to before, you kid should be able to deal with it." However, there are still dangers, and if you practice seriously these days, it will be time for you to go inside after a while. ”

Ding Yiyuan seems to be very casual, but it is this kind of care and love that is silently revealed that makes Tang Fan's nose a little sour, Master, Master, Master, Master......, Master

"yes, I see. ”

Tang Fan pretended to agree naturally, and then quickly changed the topic: "By the way, Master, what kind of food is this in your hand?

"What are you asking! Why can't you eat it, why does the old man bother to bring so much back!" Old man Ding glared at him again: "This is rice!"

"Rice, otherworldly rice!"

Tang Fan, who received an affirmative reply, was immediately overjoyed, finally having a staple food!

Seriously, although all kinds of meat and vegetables in the other world taste very good, Tang Fan really misses the taste of the staple food a little, especially when eating boiled pork slices, he really hopes to have a bowl of white rice to match, even if it is only a steamed bun!

At this time, Uncle Wei came over, took a handful of rice ears and looked at them carefully and said, "Young Master, this is not ordinary rice, this is rhubarb rice!"

"Rhubarb rice?"

Tang Fan was stunned: "Uncle Wei, are you talking about that kind of glutinous rice?

He knows that rhubarb rice, also known as glutinous rice, is not suitable for cooking, it is too glutinous, and can only be boiled porridge and drunk, or used as river rice to make all kinds of sticky cakes or something.

As soon as he heard that it was rhubarb rice that was not suitable for cooking, Tang Fan's happy mood immediately turned to loss, and it seemed that the fragrant rice was about to fall short again.

At this time, I heard Uncle Wei say again: "I have to taste it to know if it is the kind of steamed sticky bean bun." ”

These words made Tang Fan stunned again, isn't rhubarb rice used to steam sticky bean buns, are there other types?

I saw Uncle Wei peel out a yellow-orange rice grain and throw it into his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he shook his head and said: "Young master, this is not sticky yellow rice, this is a rare japonica yellow rice, that is, millet seeds, although it can also be used to steam bean buns, but it must be mixed with other sticky rice......

"Japonica yellow rice, millet seeds?" Tang Fan was a little confused.

"Yes, millet and rhubarb rice are divided into two kinds, one is sticky, the other is non-sticky, and non-sticky rhubarb rice is actually millet seeds. "Uncle Wei popularized a wave of science.

Tang Fan's eyes shone again, and he asked hopefully, "Since this millet is not sticky, can it be used to cook rice?"

Uncle Wei replied with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Then what are you waiting for!" Tang Fan almost jumped up with joy.

"Let's take off the husk and go to the grain now, and we'll eat rice today!"

…………

Fortunately, there was still a stone mill at home that had not been used for many years and was not thrown away by Tang Fan, even when he was decorating the courtyard, he only put it outside the courtyard.

Although there is no donkey to grind, but now Tang Fan, with his own strength alone, can push the stone mill around like playing, plus the mood is quite excited, he is even more energetic when he pulls up the grinding, and in just half an hour, the big bundle of rice ears brought by Old Man Ding was all ground out by him.

Forty or fifty catties of millet were packed in a bag, and the freshly shelled rice grains were yellow and shining, exuding a faint rice fragrance.

Tang Fan picked it up and put it in front of him, feeling indescribably satisfied.

Ordinary rhubarb rice on the earth, no matter what variety it is, the rice grains are twice as small as the white rice, but this otherworldly rhubarb rice is larger than the rice grains of white rice, all of them are the size of mung beans, and they are exceptionally full and round.

If the rice grain alone is big, it won't make Tang Fan too happy, the animals and plants in the other world are all this virtue, this is a normal phenomenon, there is nothing to be happy about. What really pleased him was the yield of this rhubarb rice.

He asked Master Cheap just now, the old man used the Otherworldly River as a signpost to enter the forest along the riverbank, and this Otherworldly rhubarb rice was harvested by the old man in a clearing on the bank of the river after not far into the forest.

According to the old man, in that open field, there was not only such a bundle of millet, but a large area, and only what he saw had to be at least five or six acres of land, most of which were not yet ripe, and he was picking up ripe harvests.

This means that Tang Fan will have a lot of otherworldly rice to enjoy in the future!
