Chapter Forty-Three: The First Intimate Encounter
43 first intimate encounters
Chen Nan guessed that this should be because of the previous owner of the ranch, Old Andy, who was in the real estate business, so the fence of his ranch was very strong, and things like wild boars couldn't get in at all, so he protected this place well, and who would have thought that there would be truffles in it, except for trained hunting dogs and wild boars, especially sows, who can find truffles, it is difficult for other animals to find truffles.
Although Bajie is not a sow and has not been trained, Bajie's spiritually strengthened body can certainly find truffles.
After returning home, Chen Nan first called Carter to arrange matters such as repairing the fence and strengthening the patrol of the mountains and forests in the west, Chen Nan didn't want Bajie to eat all the remaining truffles, and Chen Nan didn't want to lock up Bajie, after all, this time he found that the truffles all relied on Bajie.
After entering the villa, Mom and Angela both looked at Chen Nan with inquiring eyes, Chen Nan nodded, and took out a fist-sized truffle that he dug when he came back just now, Chen Nan has spiritual power, and it is very simple to find truffles.
Mom and Dad were all happy, and Angela had jumped up happily, as if it was not Chen Nan who found the truffle, Angela threw herself into Chen Nan's arms excitedly, and kissed Chen Nan's lips, "Po" kissed, Dad and Mom, stunned to watch all this, Mom reacted, pulled Dad and quietly went out to see Bajie.
Chen Nan was also stunned, and after reacting, looking at Angela who was still jumping excitedly in his arms, Chen Nan raised his hands to hold Angela's cheeks and kissed Angela with a "poof".
Angela's cheeks turned red to the root of her ears, and at this time, Angela also reacted and opened Chen Nan's hands holding her cheeks! whispered, "I'll go see Bajie," and after speaking, he lowered his head and rushed to the side.
Seeing the direction in which Angela was running, Chen Nan just wanted to stop Angela "Angela~", Angela heard Chen Nan tell him to lower his head and run faster, Chen Nan didn't finish speaking, but only heard a "bang", only to see Angela squatting on the ground in pain, holding her forehead with one hand, Chen Nan hurriedly went over, took away Angela's hand holding her forehead, looked at it to see if it was not too serious, and gently rubbed it, "How is it still painful?" Actually, I just wanted to say that you went astray. ”
Angela looked at it blankly, her already red face was even redder now, it was almost red to the bottom of her neck, and she couldn't care about the pain on her forehead, she slapped Chen Nan's hand away, looked in the direction of the door, and then lowered her head and rushed out.
Chen Nan saw Angela leave and shouted in the back, "Actually, I still want to say that it tastes good." After saying that, he licked his lips. I saw Angela running faster!
Chen Nan rested in the house for a while, on the one hand, because he was afraid that Angela would be more embarrassed to go out now, and on the other hand, because he wanted to calm down the throbbing in his heart. Although it was not a French wet kiss, it was just a simple "poof" of lips touching the lips, but it gave Chen Nan a more heartwarming feeling than Catherine's wet kiss full of lip gloss. It was a very strange feeling, a simple touch of the lips, it felt as if it had the whole world, the heart was pounding, and the ears could not hear anything other than the breath and heartbeat of the other person.
After drinking two glasses of boiled water, Chen Nan's excited mood calmed down, Chen Nan came to the garden, and Bajie's head was now covered with two wreaths! Everyone was in the courtyard with Bajie's constant praise.
Angela is also there, it seems that Angela washed her face with cold water, and there are crystal droplets hanging on the hair hanging from her ears, and the warm sunlight reflects the crystal brilliance on the water droplets.
Looking at Bajie, wearing a garland in the crowd and rushing over excitedly, Chen Nan didn't dare to say how many truffles Bajie ate just now, otherwise everyone would not be celebrating now, but eating pig-killing vegetables.
At noon, Angela did not eat at Chen Nan's house as usual, but pulled Xiao Lei and Amy away, and also asked for leave for the afternoon, Chen Nan didn't say anything and nodded in agreement, after all, both sides need time to calm down.
In the afternoon, Chen Nan first took Crane and Carter to the pine hill to the west, pointed out to Crane the place where the fence needed to be installed, and then asked Crane to bring workers to the construction, and asked Crane to make the fence as large as possible, make it stronger, and never damage the environment here.
Then ask Carter to come up with a patrol plan as soon as possible, monitor the design plan, and strengthen the patrol of the mountains and forests to the west. As a result, Carter refused, "Boss, I can't deliberately transfer security forces from other places to protect this mountain and forest, my first priority is to ensure the safety of you and your family, and then the ranch, boss, your request will disrupt the overall layout, unless you can continue to recruit people, but I suggest that if it is not very important, there is no need to recruit people." ”
Chen Nan thought about it, Corian, don't worry, he is already an old employee of the ranch, and his wife and children are all on the ranch. Before applying for Carter, the headhunter gave Chen Nan a list of Carter's family members, and after Carter was hired, he took over his wife to the ranch. Chen Nan was not afraid of any tricks the two of them would play, so he told the two about the truffles found in the pine forest.
After hearing this, the two of them were very happy, because Chen Nan could tell the two of them about this kind of thing, which proved that the two of them had gained Chen Nan's trust, and when they found truffles in the ranch, they both nodded cautiously, promising that they would not talk nonsense, and they would definitely complete the task assigned by Chen Nan.
After all, wealth is moving, and the later this kind of thing gets out, there will be more time to prepare for things like security.
Chen Nan is not afraid of Angela, Xiao Lei and Amy are talking nonsense everywhere. Angela will definitely not talk nonsense, and Xiao Lei is a thief elf, and she can't talk nonsense, and Amy listens to Xiao Lei.
After Chen Nan arranged the affairs of the mountains and forests, he returned to the pasture and took out the computer to look for information about truffles, originally Chen Nan wanted to find some experience in truffle planting, but found out on the Internet that this thing could not be planted artificially, because it could not photosynthesize to produce carbohydrates needed for growth, and could only obtain nutrients through the roots of symbiotic tree species, and these trees could also absorb the water and minerals absorbed by truffles from the soil through their roots.
Therefore, the only way to harvest is to plant oak, pine or oak trees that are "infected" with truffle spores, and then wait patiently for at least 5 years or at most 10 years.
And there are too many unpredictable factors in the growth process of truffles, rain, soil, minerals, symbiotic tree species, soil pH, and a slight change in the truffle cannot be cultivated.
The growth cycle of truffles is only 1 year. The annual truffle harvest season is around the end of March, when the overripe truffles rot and disintegrate, releasing spores that begin to germinate and grow into mycelium, and when they touch the fibrous roots of the oak tree, they have a symbiotic relationship. Around May, the hyphae grow larger and reproduce sexually, growing into truffles. The small truffles that have just formed grow slowly and only begin to grow rapidly during the rainy season in August. When the cold wind blows, the truffles stop growing and start to ripen, releasing a unique fragrance. Truffles usually ripen between November and March, with the best season between December and March.
