Chapter 13: The Bearded
After throwing a fantasy treasure to Jack, Loulan left the home that Jack was building, and speaking of which, he had a lot of work today, in addition to harvesting corn from a field and replanting it, he was also busy feeding the chickens, and by the way, staring at the chickens laying eggs, as for the little potatoes and Jack, he couldn't count on them today.
Time flies in the busy, although the workload is not small, but Loulan's current physical fitness has improved rapidly, and now her strength is almost equivalent to two normal adult men, and her speed and endurance have been greatly improved, so although she has done a lot of work, she does not feel tired.
At dinnertime, Loulan successfully obtained a golden egg again, and after he ate two of the eight tortillas for dinner, the rest was given to Little Potato and his helpers---- as for Jack, since they were paid, of course the dinner was taken care of.
When Loulan delivered corn tortillas to the little potato, she found that the shape of the house of the cultivators was very interesting, as if it was a small pumpkin, and now the main body seems to have been completed, and the final decoration is underway.
"Yes, little potato, the house was built very quickly, and it will be finished soon!" Loulan held a large glass of sweet and sour orange juice, and couldn't help but praise while drinking it beautifully.
"It's still early!" The little potato didn't raise his head and said, "Farmer, I just looked at it, you need three people to work now, so I have to build three houses today!" ”
"Three men? But now I only have two plots of land. Loulan was puzzled.
"Of course, there are only two plots of arable land, but I just saw that you have an orange tree by the river, which also needs to be tended by manpower." Little Potato said.
"Orange tree, don't worry about it now, I don't have a warehouse yet, and I don't have a place to put oranges after harvesting them." Loulan said.
"It's okay, you can put it in my house first, and then put it in when the warehouse is built!" Little Potato said as a matter of course.
"But, Jack said before that if you don't put it in the warehouse, it will rot!" Loulan was surprised.
"Jack, huh! Of course he said that, that guy didn't know how to farm at all, let alone store oranges! You don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything, and when this house is finished, I'll go pick and store the oranges, which are worth a fantasy treasure. Little Potato said.
"Oops! I'll go, I'm glad you arrived in time, or I'd be at a loss! Loulan was overjoyed when she heard this, this is for no reason, it is equivalent to earning an extra 10,000 soft girl coins, this little potato is really a good thing.
Seeing that Little Potato was busy with work, Loulan didn't continue to stay here, and soon walked away with interest, this time, he came to Jack's side again.
Jack's house is also digging in full swing, and although he can't see the situation underground, a large mound of earth has been piled up outside the cave, which seems to be very efficient.
Jack's hole, the entrance of the cave is not high, that is, a little higher than Jack's height, in order to prevent rain and water, Jack also used mud to make the hole a little higher, and a round wooden door was installed on it.
Speaking of this door, in fact, it is still very good, although the material is only simple mud and wooden boards, but the workmanship is not sloppy at all, not only tight, and the wooden door is also carved with a lot of beautiful patterns, the whole hole in the surrounding grass against the background, it looks natural and ingenious, looks very good.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Loulan was also embarrassed to disturb, so she went to the river to wash briefly, and went back to sleep, and when she returned home, Loulan found that she was still away from bedtime, and there was nothing to do, so Loulan calculated her property:
Two golden eggs plus a fantasy treasure, plus an extra day's orange harvest that Little Potato stored for himself, his property is worth 60,000 soft sister coins, and there are less than three days of corn harvest, because some are used to feed the chickens, about five hundred and ninety catties, these things have to be exchanged for storage warehouses, so they can't be regarded as property.
In addition, if Jack and Little Potato can work normally tomorrow, they will be able to reclaim a new wasteland, not to mention the things that may be obtained by clearing the wasteland, tomorrow's normal income will have a golden egg and 400 catties of corn, as well as an orange worth a fantasy treasure, if converted into money, it will be a full 50,000 soft girl coins, and his total property will become 110,000 soft girl coins.
"It's amazing, the speed at which this fantasy farm makes money is really amazing!"
Loulan can't even believe that these are true, just a few days ago, he was a poor student who almost starved to death, but now, just a few days later, he has a magical farm and property worth more than 100,000 soft sister coins, you know, in the mountain village where Loulan lives, he and his grandmother have worked hard to farm for a year, and the income is only about 2,000 yuan, such a huge change has made Loulan feel like in a dream.
Grandmother! Wait for me, I will definitely make you live a good life!
In view of the fact that a full thousand catties of corn are needed to exchange for the storage warehouse, even if Loulan harvests the two fast corn fields tomorrow, it can only be enough for more than 900 catties, so he simply decided to allocate the extra 190 catties of corn to Jack for feeding the chickens, and the income of one golden egg a day is definitely worth such an investment.
"The only problem now is the storage warehouse." Loulan has so many good things in her hands, and now she is very eager to exchange some soft girl coins to be happy: "Sleep!" Go to bed early and wake up early, and strive to open a new piece of land tomorrow in one day! ”
The night is getting deeper, Little Potato and Jack are still busy building a house outside, Loulan is lying on the bed, you can vaguely hear some jingling sounds, with these lively sounds, he gradually fell asleep...
The next day, with the memory of the first rooster crow, the dream farm also ushered in the first rays of sunshine in the morning, after a night's rest, Loulan felt full of strength again, and got up early.
Starting today, Little Potato and Jack began to officially work for themselves, as the owner of the dream farm, Loulan's heart is still a little excited: the work of the farm has finally begun to get on the right track, and the future is bright!
After washing up and eating breakfast, Loulan went out with a hoe and a bucket, he first came to the house built by the little potatoes, and found that the "little pumpkin" has changed from one to three, obviously there have been three cultivators settled here, the interesting thing is that the shape of the three little pumpkin houses, just like the real pumpkin field, is not only relatively compact, but also between the pumpkin house and the pumpkin house specially built some leaves as decoration, which looks very beautiful.
A burst of roasted corn aroma wafted out of the pumpkin house, it should be small potatoes their breakfast has been prepared, the automatic food function of this dream farm is really very intimate, although the variety of food is temporarily a little single, but the taste is very good, the most important thing is that it is very trouble-free, no need to worry about a little bit at all, it is really a meal to open the mouth of the intimate service.
Leaving the pumpkin house, Loulan came to Jack's side again to take a look, only to find that this guy had now started working:
Jack stood on the grass outside the entrance of his cave, holding a cigarette pouch in his right hand, holding a roasted corn in his left hand, smoking leisurely, while plucking some corn kernels from time to time to feed the chickens, Loulan noticed that these three reed hens seemed to be particularly close to Jack, and actually dug out three simple chicken nests with their claws in the bulge above Jack's cave door, which looked like they should have planned to live here for a long time.
"This Jack is really very lucky!" Loulan couldn't help muttering.
After talking to Jack about the corn, Loulan left Jack's house and went straight to the wasteland, the wasteland he was going to reclaim today was next to the land he reclaimed yesterday, according to the plan, he was going to reclaim this land in one day today, so the time was actually very urgent.
After arriving at the destination, Loulan found that a cultivator who looked like a small potato had been busy in the cornfield where he planted yesterday, and what opened Loulan's eyes was that this little guy, who didn't know what method to use, actually pulled out a handful of weeds from the cornfield, and in Loulan's eyes, there was nothing in the cornfield except corn.
"So that's the case, it seems that the specialty of this cultivator should be to be able to see some weeds or other things that others can't see, which affect the harvest of the land, so they can increase the yield, right?" Loulan said secretly in her heart.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Farmer."
Just when Loulan was secretly speculating, the little guy who farmed the land suddenly took the initiative to greet him.
Just now, this little guy was bent over to work, and Loulan didn't see what he looked like, until this time, Loulan realized that this little guy was actually not small:
This cultivator, with his red nose and face, and thick and sturdy body, are very similar to the little potato, but his hair is already slightly gray, and he has a thick beard under his forehead, which is also black and white, showing that he is actually quite old.
"Hello, old sir, my name is Loulan, although I am the farmer here, but we Chinese have the habit of respecting the elderly, you can call me Loulan."
Being called "Respected ×××" by an old gentleman, Loulan is really a little unaccustomed, of course, this is also inconsistent with Chinese traditional cultural customs, so Loulan does not like this title.
"Oh? You're really polite, respect... Belch... Mr. Loulan, let me introduce myself, my name is Bearded. This elderly farmer has a hearty voice, and he is a straightforward person when he hears it.
"Bearded? It's a fitting name. Loulan said with a smile: "I just saw you weeding the corn, but in my opinion, there is no grass in this field at all, what is going on?" ”
