Chapter 30: Anecdotes in the Field
The water is full of rice and leaves, and the sunlight penetrates the trees and the smoke is low. The egret also loves to be new and cool, flying over the green mountains and crying in the shadows.
Lin Lan squatted on the edge of his own five-acre Zhongpin Ling Field, holding a blade of grass in his mouth, full of leisurely and wanton.
In the eye, the rice grass grows gratifyingly, the seedlings are fat and strong, under the blowing of the spring breeze, the green waves of the desert paddy fields roll, directly cloudy sky. In the sky above the green ocean, countless egrets soar freely, as if flying into a natural color screen.
It's all wonderful.
Of course, it would be better if there was no Lao Li's demonic nagging in his ears.
"This kind of land is a science, it doesn't mean that the seeds are sprinkled and the matter is over, but it has to be carefully taken care of."
"My old Li Tou has been dealing with Lingdao for more than 40 years, and in this acre and three points of land, I dare to say that in the entire Taihua Sect, I dare to admit the second, and no one dares to recognize the first." He patted his chest, the folds of his face glistening in the sun.
"Farming, not only to pay sweat, but also to use your brain to observe at all times, field temperature, rice growth period, precipitation, soil spiritual power, water level, pests and diseases will affect the harvest."
……
Lin Lan simply closed her hearing and lay down with her back against the tree.
On the same day, after several twists and turns, Lin Long had no choice but to start a shrimp farming business. After careful consideration, Lin Lan chose the task of planting spiritual rice, mainly to accumulate experience for the development of spatial black soil in the future, and at the same time, it was also convenient to hide people's eyes.
And with the landing of the mission, the two are also completely famous in the miscellaneous service hall. Under Lin Lan's intentional or unintentional "hints", as well as Lin Long's ignorant cooperation, a strong background aura was put behind the two, and everyone not only learned that they had a promising inner sister Lin Yi'er, but also that the Lin family also had a good relationship with Qin Dazhenren.
For a time, there were many people in the miscellaneous servants' office, and the stewards of each hall and the senior brothers and sisters all greeted each other with smiling faces and were warm and polite. Even though some people are jealous in their hearts, they are still very harmonious at least on the surface.
Sure enough, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the tree.
No, in terms of seniority, it was not the turn of Lin Lan to plant the medium-grade Lingtian, so it was handed over after several operations by the gold steward, and Lao Li Tou also became her planting guide.
The spiritual field of the Taihua Sect is divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower, and the soil aura of the high-grade spiritual field is the richest, and there are often special people to take care of it and plant the most important medicinal crops; The medium-grade spiritual field is second, mainly spiritual rice, with a short maturity period and few weeds and insect pests, although it is not as fast as the maturity speed of the high-grade spiritual field, but it is better than the spiritual power required to take care of it, which is suitable for the disciples of the qi refining period to plant; The lower grade spiritual field is relatively barren, and the harvested crops are not much left except for the needs of the task, and they are generally assigned to some miscellaneous laborers with poor qualifications and no background.
Lin Lan is still very satisfied with this result, which is also the first step she has thought about a long time ago.
There was a hint of banter in Lin Lan's eyes, Lin Yier is a person who is used to doing superficial work, in the last life, she didn't know how many stumbling blocks she made, making her life worse than death in the miscellaneous servants, but she also gained a good reputation for caring for her sisters. Then how about just giving a boost and mixing well with the miscellaneous servants under her banner?
Everything went as expected, the progress was quite smooth, the only fly in the ointment was that the thunder shrimp pond and the Lingtian were far apart, and it was the busy farming season, the sisters could only be separated temporarily, and they could only get together every few days.
……
Lin Lan rose to the waist and was lazy, why don't you go to the Thunder Shrimp Pond later to see how Lin Long is doing?
Thinking of this, she turned her eyes slightly, looking at the foaming old Li Tou who was talking, and had a little headache.
“……”
After these few days of communication, Lin Lan learned that Lao Li Tou's original name was Li Daozhong, who was originally a villager in a small village, and his family had been farming for generations, but he was unexpectedly ravaged by a cult, and more than 200 people in the whole village were slaughtered overnight, leaving him alive.
Whenever he recalls the past, Lao Li Tou always cried, "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't worry about the crops in the field that day, I volunteered to keep vigil at night, and my life would have been gone." Farmer, after all, it was the field that saved me......"
Forty years after entering the sect, from a young man to gray hair, the old Li Tou carried forward his agricultural expertise, cultivated a lot of excellent spiritual rice varieties for the sect, and also committed to the improvement of the soil of the spiritual field, belonging to the respected old man. It's a pity that Lao Li is the qualification of the five spirit roots, even if the sect does not hesitate to reward the elixir and help him pile up his cultivation to the ninth layer of qi refining, but the foot of the foundation is still like a moat, and it is really impossible to cross.
After failing to impact the realm three times in a row, now, the old man has also lightened this mind, and is ready to find a successor to the mantle with peace of mind and carry forward the spirit plant.
However, how can the apprentice be so easy to receive?
Facing the loess with his back to the sky, drilling in the ground for many years, you need to endure loneliness, keep poverty, qualifications, and temperament are indispensable. Not to mention that most people nowadays put martial arts cultivation in the first place, some people look down on this farmer's work, even if they barely enter this industry, ordinary people can't stand Lao Litou's strict requirements, and the verbosity of the whole day.
Seeing that there was not much longevity, Lao Li was anxious, so he simply cast a net generally, but all the disciples who received the planting task, he gave more or less guidance, trying to burn the last trace of light and heat for the planting cause.
"That, Elder Li, I'll discuss something with you."
Lin Lan couldn't help it, and interrupted his tirade, "It's been a few days, I want to go and see Sister Lin Long, after all, she is young......"
Just as he was talking about the key link of seedling raising, Lao Li's excitement was interrupted, and he raised his voice unhappily: "What? Want to take a leave of absence? You didn't come to the sect when you prepared the land and raised seedlings, and you couldn't learn the essentials. ”
"No, no, no", his head shook like a rattle, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"Young people nowadays, they can't endure hardship, what can they do! Do you know how many poor people there are in the northwest continent that you can't see? You eat spiritual rice every day, do you know how many people do not have enough to eat, even ordinary millet, and can only live on bark, grass roots, and soil? ”
……
Lin Lan's face turned pale for a while, and she was speechless when she was speechless, and she felt inexplicably ashamed.
"I'll go back when I go to see, just half a day's work", Lin Lan raised her hand and promised, she half flattered, and said coquettishly, "By the way, I'll give you two catties of osmanthus wine."
Seeing that persuasion failed, Lao Li sighed, Lin Lan, this kid has a sweet mouth, and he is also diligent, what is rare is that he has patience that others do not have for his extraordinary verbosity, through a few days of getting along, he can see her respect from the heart, he is also very fond of it, and even moved the mind to observe for a while......
I don't know what I remembered, Lao Li Tou had a plan, and said angrily, "It's ......not impossible to ask for leave."
"You say!" Lin Lan hurriedly said.
"I'll give you an exam question, if you can achieve it before noon, don't say half a day, what about giving you two days off?"
