In the backyard of Tongxiang Temple, a simple swing is built under the grape trellis, and the girls and maids will gather here to play in their spare time. One sits on the swing, and two friends stand on the left and right to help. The swing swings back and forth, each time it is a little higher than the last time. At the highest point, it is worth it to be able to see the bustling cityscape outside the walls, even if it is only for a short second.

While they were playing this game tirelessly, the summer solstice with the decoction of medicine could only rely on their imagination to participate in their activities. When the summer solstice is over, the girls and maids disperse when they are busy, and she can only entertain herself alone, and when she has mastered the skills and can finally see the street scene, the joy is not as good as half of the joy. Since then, the summer solstice has never been on a swing.

But now, Xia Zhi sat on the swing for the first time in a long time, and a little friend behind her gently pushed her.

【Summer solstice! Someone called her name, and when she looked back, the image of the little friend behind her gradually became clear, and finally the focus was actually Chen Huan's face. Xia Solstice was startled, his eyes widened in horror, and he fell from the swing to the ground in embarrassment.

When I opened my eyes, I still saw Chen Huan's face in front of me, and his face was full of disdain. Hey, is this a nightmare? The summer solstice was a little confused.

[It's time to get off at the farm.] And rub your harath. After Chen Huan finished speaking, he got out of the carriage first.

Xia Zhi touched the side of his mouth, it was wet. I must have been not paying attention when I was napping just now, ah, why are you always in trouble? Xia Zhi resented, wiped his mouth and quickly followed out.

A large rice field just crashed into view, and it was all golden as far as the eye could see. The plump ears of rice bent the stalks, and the wind blew and shook gently, and the whole was a sea of gold. On the hill in the distance, red maple leaves, green pines and cypresses, yellow trees, all kinds of colors are matched together to attract the eye. Xia Solstice rotated in place and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh, [It's so beautiful! 】

Seeing this, an uncle dressed as a farmer next to him smiled and said, "It's the first time for the little girl to go to the countryside, this kind of scenery happens every year, and we are tired of seeing it. 】

[She just doesn't go out too much, and everything she sees feels fresh. Chen Huan patted her head gently, Xia Zhi tidied up her hair dissatisfiedly, and muttered, [People praise her from the bottom of her heart, and the beautiful scenery is never too much to see. 】

The uncle answered on the side, [Young Master Chen is well-informed, as long as he carries it, he is not afraid that he will not see more beautiful scenery. 】

Xia Zhi glanced at Chen Huan and thanked him with a smile, [Then take advantage of your auspicious words. 】

The farmer's uncle's surname is Li, and he is still in good health at the age of forty, with coarse cloth clothes and a straw hat, and he is absolutely dressed as a farmer. He is the contractor of this farmland, and it is also one of the places that Chen Huan will visit this time. Uncle Li was very enthusiastic to introduce to Chen Huan the types of rice planted, habits and characteristics and the growth of this year.

Chen Huan squatted on the edge of the field, carefully inspected the fullness of several rice ears, picked a few grains, broke them, and tasted the fresh rice. Seeing this, Xia Solstice also broke a few grains and threw them into his mouth and chewed them, the new rice was soft and glutinous, and the sweetness and umami also appeared.

Chen Huan leaned over again, reached out and grabbed some dirt and twisted it on his fingers, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then actually licked and tasted it. Xia Zhi was dumbfounded, she didn't plan to follow suit in this part, [What are you doing? Are you hungry and hungry? 】

[The health of the soil can be judged by whether there is bitterness or sourness in the soil.] Soil is also an indicator of the quality of rice, and if it is as sticky as clay, it is easy to store nutrients. Chen Huan explained.

Uncle Li said, "Young Master Chen understands these things very well. It's all black soil, the soil is very fertile, and it's watered by spring water that flows from the mountains, so there's nothing to say about nutrition. This year's summer was particularly hot, so it grew into very good rice. 】

[But isn't it the usual glutinous rice for sake brewing?] Xia Zhi asked, she could still tell the difference between the taste of glutinous rice and ordinary rice.

[It's true that there is a lot of glutinous rice, but this time it is used for the development of new sake, and I would like to try other rices as well.] It's all Koshihikari rice here, right? Chen Huan asked, and after receiving Uncle Li's affirmative answer, he continued, [The viscosity and softness of Koshihikari rice are good, and it may be able to make high-quality rice wine. 】

Xia Zhi followed behind Chen Huan and Uncle Li, and listened to them discuss rice-related as if they didn't understand. Not far away, a few half-grown children were playing on the grass, presumably a game of dodgeball. Children are always in high spirits, and they can laugh happily even if they are just running crazy.

The cheerful noise was suddenly interrupted by crying, and the urchins scattered, leaving only a little boy who remained and cried on his knees. Xia Zhi's attention shifted to several people, especially Uncle Li, who walked nervously and quickly after seeing the situation clearly, and said while walking tightly, [Erde, what trouble are you in trouble again? 】

Xia Zhi and Chen Huan also followed. It turned out that the child was naughty and climbed a tree to get the bamboo ball down, but he stepped on it and fell down, and his arm hit the hard stone, rubbing a large blood stain. Blood gushed out, and the other children scattered in fright, and all the little boy named Erde could do was cry out loud.

Uncle Li looked at the wound, and was very angry and blamed the child for not paying attention, grabbing a handful of dirt and sprinkling it on the wound.

[What are you doing?] Xia Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, blocking the dust and returning to the ground.

[Girl, I want to help Erde stop the bleeding. Although Uncle Li is flustered, it is not good to get angry at the summer solstice.

[If the soil is not clean, the wound will be infected!] Summer Solstice glanced around, and there was a wild cattail grass next to the small pond not far away, and the branches were still hanging with stick-like fruits. [Wait for me!] 】

Summer Solstice ran to the small pond, stepped on his feet and reached out to pull down the cattail grass, but the height difference was a little, so he wanted to jump up and reach it. The edge of the pond is already wet and slippery, and the summer solstice will fall to the pond as soon as it stumbles. said that it was too late, Chen Huan grabbed her arm, shook her forcefully, and pulled her into his arms, [You be careful! 】

Xia Zhi could feel the temperature on Chen Huan's hands, but now was not the time for a girl to have a spring heart, and pointed to the cattail stick on the branch, [That is needed to stop bleeding. 】

[Got it, I'll pick it.] Chen Huan let go of the summer solstice, raised his hand to pull the rhizome of the cattail down his waist, and handed over the collected cattail stick. On the summer solstice, the pollen on the cattail sticks was collected quickly, but fortunately there were quite a lot of them, and a small handful was soon collected.

Xia Zhi carefully sprinkled cattail pollen on Erde's arm wound, and said to Uncle Li, [This can only temporarily stop bleeding, and you still need to find a doctor to diagnose it later. 】

[There happens to be a carriage here, let's send Erde to the doctor first.] Chen Huan said.

Uncle Li thanked him again and again, and took Erde to the clinic in a carriage.
