In the courtyard of an ordinary farmhouse in Changle Village, Kunwu, the hostess is happily washing the freshly picked fruits, and her man accompanies the three guests at the stone table in the courtyard. Next to the stone table stands a large bamboo tube the thickness of a half-human high sea bowl, and on top of the bamboo tube is a bamboo teapot, the teapot and the bamboo tube seem to be one, and there is no gap between the two. The man pulled the spout down, and from the spout flowed steaming boiling water, and he poured a bowl for each guest, and said in amazement: "This kettle is really magical, and after planting it for a while, boiling water comes out." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the guests, "Thank you for your gifts." ”

Qin Bofeng waved his hand: "Brother Wang, don't thank us, if you want to thank the Yang family." This pot is the latest developed by the Yang family, they can't get out, Mr. Jiu asked the three of us to send it to everyone, Kunwu is not as warm and warm as Tao Tang all year round, and it will enter the cold season in January, so you can't always drink this warm and cold water. This pot only consumes 100 energy points a year, and every household can afford it. At this time, Qin Bofeng did not have the signature robe, and replaced it with a coarse cloth cardigan.

Lao Wang bowed to the north, "Thank you to the sage Yang family." He got up again and bowed to the east, "Thank you, Mr. Jiu." ”

Qin Bofeng laughed: "How can there be no tea with good water?" he turned his head sideways and said, "Yafei, why don't you plant some tea leaves." ”

He Yafei nodded at this time with a phantom above his head, Qin Bofeng coughed, and the phantom immediately shrank back. Qin Bofeng said: "Does Yafei want to copy books, or grow tea?" Gangba, who was beside Yafei, used his mid-limb to hammer the body of the hammer to express his dissatisfaction, but Qin Bofeng ignored him.

What He Yafei is most afraid of is being punished by Brother Tai for copying books, and he has lived for more than ten years, and the most unhappy thing is to read and write. This time, in order to screw him and Gangba's bad problems, Yang Mingtai punished them for copying the book for five days. This time made He Yafei understand that a portrait on his head is really just a habit of Gangba alone.

He Yafei hurriedly took out a raw seed, and the chef's hat mark on his eyebrows lit up. In a matter of moments, he threw the seed to the ground, and the seed sprouted dense roots and burrowed into the ground.

Lao Wang sighed: "Xiao He Xianshi is really a good means, and with a gesture, the soul will be planted." For thousands of years, no sage has ever been seen so relaxed. ”

Qin Bofeng smiled: "Don't praise him, this praise will go to heaven."

He Yafei just felt proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be punished for copying the book again.

When the plant grows up, Qin Bofeng plucks a fruit shell, pours the hot water in his bowl, takes some dried tea leaves from the shell and puts them in the bowl, re-connects some boiling water, looks at the leaves at the bottom of the bowl, pours the water and re-picks up the bowl of water, the buds rise and fall in the bowl, smell the fragrance, and taste a mouthful of fragrant fragrance. Qin Bofeng praised the good tea, and hurriedly beckoned Lao Wang to try it too. Lao Wang also learned from Qin Bofeng to soak a bowl, and couldn't help but raise his thumb to praise Xiao He's good craftsmanship.

Qin Bofeng asked He Yafei if this tea was an imitation of Longjing, He Yafei nodded and said, "My father is an old tea customer, so he likes Longjing." Da Hong Pao, Pu'er or something is also available at home, he doesn't like it, I don't like it either, so I gave it all to Li Xiang and Kunzi to drink. ”

Qin Bofeng said: "Listen to Mr. Jiu, when you were in your hometown, you can also make what you eat?" Qin Bofeng didn't say Yang Mingtai's words when he went outside, only called Mr. Jiu.

There was a phantom above He Yafei's head that began to move, and he was glared at by Qin Bofeng, and immediately retracted - the habit is difficult to change. He couldn't let go of the phantom man without a portrait above his head, so he just nodded and didn't speak.

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law came over with a fruit bowl and asked everyone to use some fruit. When Lao Wang was done with his daughter-in-law, he beckoned her to drink tea together, and Lao Wang's daughter-in-law said, "I haven't drunk tea since I came from my hometown." "Lao Wang Lian said that it was the blessing of the Yang family of the sage and the blessing of Mr. Jiu.

After drinking tea, Qin Bofeng was about to lead He Yafei and Gangba to say goodbye, seeing that Lao Wang wanted to say goodbye, and after asking, he knew that Lao Wang wanted to ask Qin Bofeng, a master apprentice, to plant some dishes, Qin Bofeng laughed and said that there are masters here, why do you need him to offer ugliness. asked He Yafei to take out the ten cooked dishes that had been planted with souls. These dishes are cooked without big fish and meat, and they are all home-cooked side dishes. This is also what Brother Tai explained, firstly, imitation meat consumes a lot of energy points, and ordinary people cannot afford to consume it; secondly, the people are used to vegetarian food, and once they are used to eating meat, they will be nowhere to be found in the future, and they will suffer even more. Lao Wang and his wife want to pay a reward, He Yafei said that there is no need for a reward, as long as they take out a pattern in the family and let him choose ten, plus ten energy points.

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law saw that a raw seed and an energy point could be exchanged for a cooked vegetable seed, so a big one was cheap, so she encouraged Lao Wang to change a few more. Lao Wang is a sensible person, counting his daughter-in-law, "We have changed all the familiar seeds, what should other families do? This is the welfare that Mr. Nine gave us, how can we be greedy? If each of our families is like this, we will not go to find other sages in the future, and the sages will make trouble, doesn't it make it difficult for Mr. Nine?" After speaking, he pulled his daughter-in-law to make amends to the three of them, but He Yafei didn't know how to deal with it, and finally he took out another one, saying that it was a personal friendship gift. Qin Bofeng left them another shell of tea leaves.

In the couple's thousand thanks, the three left the Wang family and went to the next family.

Out of the Wang family, He Yafei asked: "Is this kettle difficult? The bracelet is much more advanced than this, and it can be made, why is this kettle only made now?"

Qin Bofeng told him that it is not difficult to grow a kettle, but it is difficult to grow a kettle with low energy consumption and affordable for the people.

He Yafei said again: "Since this kettle is a mature seed, it is good to distribute it directly, why bother us to run it all by family, the efficiency is too low." ”

"These seeds are prepared according to the number of households in Kunwu, and there are not many of them. Because it is a mature seed, I am afraid that if it accidentally falls on the ground during distribution, it will take root and sprout, causing waste. So we have to do it ourselves. ”

"Then the three of us split up. ”

Qin Bofeng was helpless, so he could only agree: "Then let's go separate in the next village." ”

After the three of them visited every house in the village, it was already dark, and they went to the village chief's house to rest.

That night, the old village chief and the three of them were sitting and drinking tea in the courtyard, and when they saw that the master of Gangba couldn't sit down, the old village chief was a little unhappy. Through his consciousness, Gangba told the old village chief that he didn't have to mind, he had been standing all his life.

The old village chief bowed to the three of them: "This time, the sage's family sent hot water kettles to every family in Kunwu, but it was the hard work of the three sages. ”

Qin Bofeng said: "Although I am a Taotang person, I admire Mr. Jiu's righteous deeds in carrying out people's livelihood projects. ”

The old village chief muttered: "The people's livelihood project allows the people of Li to live in peace, have food every day, live in a house, and support the elderly." Mr. Yang's words back then are still in my ears. The Yang family sends supplies to the people of Kunwu every year, how can we feel at ease?" The old village chief bowed to the north and the east, and then he asked puzzledly: "In previous years, the seeds were directly handed over to us for distribution, why do you want the sages to do it themselves this year?"

Qin Bofeng pulled the village chief aside and whispered: "Mr. Jiu attaches great importance to Asia and Africa, and hopes that he will have more contact with the villagers, listen and watch more. This livelihood project, in fact, is one of his experiences, and Gangba and I are actually his guards. I lied to him because I was afraid that the mature seeds would be accidentally scattered and cause waste, so you must not tell him. ”

The old village chief smiled and said that it was saved. He Yafei saw Uncle Qin's strange behavior, but he was in no mood to pay attention to it.

Qin Bofeng returned to his seat and said to the old village chief: "There is one more task in this year's livelihood project, tomorrow we will add a wall to the village, although now that the village has organized a militia group, it is always good to have an extra layer of protection." ”

The old village chief hesitated: "I don't know how much it cost to build this wall?"

Qin Bofeng said: "If you build a three-meter-high wall, you can add 1,000 energy points to one gold seed. ”

The old village chief nodded and said, "That's not high. ”

Qin Bofeng continued: "Mr. Nine has explained, the Yang family will give gold seeds and five hundred energy points, and the village only needs to raise five hundred energy points. ”

The old village chief hurriedly waved his hand: "How can this make the people of Kunwu receive the favor of the sage Yang family for generations, how can they let them spend so much? Not to mention the fifty-two villages and towns in Kunwu, such a huge expenditure, I am afraid that even the sage family will not be able to handle it." I'm going to gather the villagers, and the village can still make up a gold seed and a thousand energy points. As he spoke, he was about to get up and walk out the door, but was stopped by Qin Bofeng.

Qin Bofeng said: "The Yang family has been preparing for this matter for several years, and tens of thousands of energy points are still saved, not to mention the gold seed. Your village is willing to raise its own funds, and other villages are willing to accept gifts, so how can this bowl of water be served evenly? ”

The old village chief had no choice but to give up on the matter of fundraising. He said, "If Mr. Nine is gracious to Kunwu, if he can extend this favor to other hills......

Qin Bofeng interrupted the old village chief's words: "Mr. Jiu is only Kunwu's gentleman, and it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of other Qiu, if you talk about the seniority of the gentleman, he is ranked last, so don't mention this old man." ”

The old village chief was a little unwilling: "Isn't it okay in the name of the sage Yang family?"

Qin Bofeng sighed: "Now sir, how many people still have the Holy Father in their hearts?"

The old village chief also sighed and stopped talking.

Back in the room, He Yafei couldn't wait to pour out the seeds he changed today and count, counting two before stopping. Seeing Qin Bofeng looking at him, he smiled, "Three hundred and twenty pieces with a little silver seed are three hundred and twenty plates of deliciousness, Brother Tai's idea is really good, and the favor has also been sent, and the seed with a little pattern has also arrived." ”

Qin Bofeng said: "Yafei Hugh has to talk nonsense, Jiucheng is sincerely doing things for the people. Your dishes, although they are vegetarian, are all excellent, and each piece is worth receiving two pieces of silver and ten energy points as a reward. You have worked hard for nothing, but you think you have taken advantage of it. ”

He Yafei said disapprenously: "Anyway, my kind of soul comes quickly, and it doesn't take much effort." I like cooking, and it's okay to do it for free. ”

Qin Bofeng was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to He Yafei. He Yafei said: "Uncle, why are you worshipping me?"

Qin Bofeng said: "You have given me another layer of understanding of the heart of a child, and I deserve to worship it." ”

He Yafei said: "Uncle, you are good at everything, but you are too pedantic and have a lot of red tape." ”

Qin Bofeng was shocked and fell into a long exam.

Early the next morning, Gangba planted a line-drawing cart and drew a large circle with white powder around the village.

Originally, Qin Bofeng wanted He Yafei to plant his soul, but He Yafei insisted that Brother Tai let him keep a low profile and not be too showy, otherwise he would be targeted too early, which would be detrimental to him. Qin Bofeng thought about it, it was indeed that he didn't think it through, and even regretted a little that he let He Yafei plant soul tea in public yesterday. Without saying a word, he sat cross-legged, and his eyebrows lit up. Qin Bofeng's eyebrow mark seems to be a trident, and it seems to be a three-toothed rice fork.

When the wall grew, the whole village came out, watching the pieces of plates break out of the soil along the painted white circles, and fasten together with the plates in front of them. The old village chief raised his hands up, knelt on his legs, and bowed to the north. The villagers walked up behind the village chief and bowed down one after another.
