didn't hold the owner's shelf all the time, people couldn't get close, he would listen to his own group of people, laugh out loud when he encountered interesting things, and try to toss people with crooked ideas - he felt that Lin Zhicheng was not much different from his own people, and the young people who participated in the party left a very good impression on him.

Of course, these young people are not going to immediately treat him as their own, and come out to party with him at every turn.

First, it's because Lin Zhicheng's good impression is not deep enough, and the big guys are still a little hesitant in their hearts, and secondly, they don't have a chance, after all, parties are not routine, and if you want to get people together, you still have to find a suitable reason first, isn't it?

In this way, when Lin Zhicheng gradually improved his image with his own actions and gradually integrated into the lives of the residents, more than two months passed.

When I first came to the island to take over the position of the owner, I was just entering the summer. And now, many months later, it's winter.

"Well, okay, I know, aunt, you also pay attention to your body, it's cold, don't catch a cold. ”

"Chinese New Year? uh, it's not clear yet. I went back and asked, if there was nothing going on on the island, then I would go back for the New Year. Well, I'll call you again. ”

"I know, okay, okay, aunt, can you say something else. I'm not even thirty~. Well, it's not a year old, okay, okay, I know, I'll pay attention if I have a chance. ”

"By the way, I sent you something back the day before yesterday, nothing, just some seafood. Don't be reluctant to eat it, I still have a lot of it, I'll send it to you after eating, well, it's okay, if you can't finish it, you can share it with others. ”

"Well, okay, I see, okay, then I'll hang up, I'll talk about it next time. ”

Putting down the phone in his hand and looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Zhicheng realized why he felt a little awkward these days.

On the other end of the phone, it had already snowed twice at my aunt's house. And here in the Nalan Islands, let alone two, you can't even see a snowflake.

The minimum temperature is above 15 degrees, and on sunny days, the temperature will rise to 234 degrees. When you go out, you don't need to wear a thick and cumbersome down jacket, just cover it with a light jacket or knitted sweater, and in the house, you don't need to light a charcoal basin to keep warm, and as for the fireplace in the owner's mansion, it has not been used once.

Didn't you say that the latitude was about the same as that of the magic capital? Didn't you say that it snowed last year?

The winter on the island was very warm, which exceeded Lin Zhicheng's expectations, which surprised him a little.

Of course, it was just an accident, and Lin Zhicheng didn't hate such a warm winter. After all, he used to be an otaku and developed the habit of not liking to move, and if the weather is too cold, it will be a little difficult for him who is not active enough.

It's just right now.

Put away his mobile phone and went to the small warehouse in the yard to get tools, Lin Zhicheng was planning to go to the grove behind the house and go down to the vegetable field to do some farm work.

About two and a half months ago, Lin Zhicheng dug up the first hoe. Although he used to go to the field with his parents when he was a child, after so many years, the craftsmanship was still a lot looser, and in the end, it took two weeks for Lin Zhicheng to tidy up the vegetable patch and sow the first batch of seeds.

Because it was the first time to try planting, Lin Zhicheng did not challenge the high difficulty as soon as he came up. After checking the information on various vegetables on the Internet, and then calling his aunt and uncle to ask for their opinions, after careful consideration, he first tried to grow two kinds of vegetables.

The first is white radish. There are several reasons to choose it. First of all, it's because it grows fast, especially when the water supply is sufficient.

Secondly, because this thing is easy to feed, even if the geological conditions are a little worse, it will not be a grain without harvest, at most, it will grow a little smaller, and the appearance is just a little worse.

Finally, it is because radish is a vegetable that is very versatile. Dices can be used to stew meat, shredded can be fried and eaten, diced can be pickled into side dishes, ground into puree, and can also be used as a seasoning, it is no exaggeration to say that there is probably no vegetable that can be used more widely than radish.

In addition, this is an island, and seafood is used more in daily life than beef, pork, and chicken. As an ingredient for seafood, radish with its fishy removal function is simply the best.

The other is lettuce. There is only one reason for choosing it, and that is to grow fast, faster than turnips, very fast.

"Charlie, are you going to go to the vegetable patch?" took the things out of the small warehouse, and Lin Zhicheng's figure happened to fall into Catherine's eyes.

"Well, go see how the turnips and lettuce are growing. By the way, do you have something to do now? Do you want to go together?" After all, working alone is still a bit boring, Lin Zhicheng asked casually.

"Now?" said Catherine, after a few seconds of hesitation, "Can you give me five minutes and I'll go and change my clothes." ”

Although Old John has not yet retired, he is still serving as Lin Zhicheng's official housekeeper. However, even in the name of a trainee housekeeper, Catherine still needs to maintain the image of a housekeeper at all times, for example, now, she is wearing a suit, which is obviously not suitable for working in the field.

"Okay, then hurry up. "It's only five minutes, and it's nothing to wait for a while, Lin Zhicheng waved his hand.

Not long after, Catherine came out in a casual suit. The dark gray women's suit was replaced by a light sportswear, and I don't know where she got it, and she also had a pair of sleeves on her hands, and with the headscarf tied around her head, she really looked a bit like a peasant beauty.

"Let's go. Handing Catherine a small scythe and picking up the plastic bucket with the small hoe, Lin Zhicheng took the lead towards the forest path that had just been opened.

Previously, Lin Zhicheng had already advanced the shrubs and weeds in the forest and opened up a path two people wide.

Without this road, the walk-behind tractor would not have been able to get through the woods to the vegetable patch. In other words, the entire planting process must be done manually from start to finish.

It makes me feel tired when I think about it, so even if it takes a little effort to open up a path, Lin Zhicheng is still not lazy, after all, it takes less effort to cut down the bushes on the road than to have to dig the ground manually because he can't use machinery.

"That's it, don't you need that?" Perhaps the sight of Lin Zhicheng pushing a small tractor into the woods left a deep impression on Catherine, and after looking at the tools in the hands of the two, she couldn't help but point to the small tractor still parked in the warehouse, and asked Lin Zhicheng.

Turning his head and glancing in the direction of Catherine's finger, Lin Zhicheng shook his head while smiling: "Tractor? ”

"Oooh. Catherine nodded and quickly followed Lin Zhicheng.

Overhead, the sunlight was split into bunches because of the obscuration of the leaves, like a golden curtain, and the sea breeze with the original salty smell was gone, replaced by the fragrance of the trees wafting from the tip of the nose, which appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Although it is not far behind the house, a distance of 200 meters in a straight line, after walking into this wood, the feeling immediately becomes different.

While enjoying the fragrance of the forest, they continued to walk, and within a few minutes, the two came to the edge of the vegetable field.

"Huh?" After seeing the vegetable patch, Catherine showed a surprised expression: "Charlie, why is it still empty over there?"

The whole vegetable field is about two acres, at this time, only less than one-third of the area is planted with vegetables, and the remaining two-thirds is still an empty land.

"No way, I only have two arms myself, and you don't help. First made a joke, and then Lin Zhicheng explained with a smile: "Okay, in fact, I deliberately vacated that side." First, it was to bask in the sun for a while so that the sunlight could kill the eggs hidden under the soil, and secondly, because I hadn't found any other seeds. With such a large vegetable patch, we can't all use it to grow turnips, and we can't eat turnips three times a day, can we?"

Imagining the scene of eating turnips three times a day, Catherine couldn't help but shiver, and quickly shook her head, throwing that horrible scene out of her mind.

"Yo, you're good-looking. When Catherine was distracted, Lin Zhicheng had already arrived in the ridges. Squatting down, turning over the leaves, and watching the lettuce grow, a happy smile appeared on his face again.

The sun is abundant, the soil is fertile, and Lin Zhicheng has to run to water every day, this small piece of lettuce grows really well, each one is green and bright, just looking at it makes people love it.

Well, this is just Lin Zhicheng's personal feelings, after all, the dishes are all planted by him himself, just like his children, and they will naturally get his preference.

Catherine was not as happy as he was, and when she saw the small hole in the leaf, her face unconsciously showed a look of disgust: "What is this?

"I'll see. Stretching his neck to take a look, Lin Zhicheng rolled his eyes: "Scare me." What, it turned out to be pecked by a bird. Really, just listening to you, I thought it was a pest or disease. ”

"Isn't that the same? It's not pretty, anyway. Catherine muttered.

"You know what. "I don't have much experience in farming, but I still know a little bit of common sense. Taking out the teacher's shelf, Lin Zhicheng said with a slight sigh: "The more it looks, the better the quality of the dishes." I don't understand, I don't use pesticides, that's why I attract insects and birds, and they steal and eat them. Organic produce, have you ever heard of it? That's what you see. ”
