Chapter 24 Soothing the Soul

When I got home, it was almost dark.

Wang Chen passed by the house without entering and took out the hoe directly from the storage bag.

Start cleaning up the weeds in the spiritual field.

These weeds are more resistant to cutting than A-share investors. They were shoveled yesterday, and they grew back a lot the next day.

Fortunately, the number of acres of spiritual land he rented was small, and he was already completely familiar with farm work.

So after a lot of hard work, I finally got it done.

In the end, I didn’t forget to give rain.

By the time the hungry Wang Chen actually returned home, it was already past Xu Shi.

"Squeak!"

A big white rat was squatting on the table. When he saw him, he immediately stood up and barked twice.

There was a hint of resentment in the cry!

"Oh!"

Wang Chen slapped his head hard: "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry."

He even forgot that he still had rats waiting for food at home!

The big white rat sniffed and turned its head away as if it was a silent accusation.

As long as I have something to eat from you in the future, I will be sure that I won’t be hungry.

Liars, they are all liars!

Wang Chen rubbed his hands in embarrassment and stroked the big white rats: "Don't be angry, Xiaobai, I'll make a big dinner tonight!"

He came to the kitchen, took out a large piece of animal meat, placed it on the chopping board, and beat it with a wooden stick.

Monster meat has very little fat, is tough and dense, and has a lot of fascia inside.

Repeatedly beating to break up the muscles can greatly improve the taste.

When it feels almost done, put it in a bowl and add soy sauce and spices to marinate.

Then Wang Chen took out the accessories customized in the blacksmith shop and began to assemble the rice mill.

The rice mill consists of a casing, a drum, a rice knife, a processing bucket and a rice sieve. Due to manufacturing technology limitations, the motor was replaced with a hand crank, and the structure was simplified.

Assembly work is also very simple.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of the hammersmith is superb.

All parts are forged from refined black iron, including the iron sheet of the casing, which is beautifully processed.

The accuracy is fully qualified.

Wang Chen saw with his own eyes that the craftsman took a knife and cut the metal parts a few times, and then perfectly solved the problem he pointed out.

The efficiency is amazing!

After the rice mill was assembled, Wang Chen couldn't wait to take the rice grains and load them into the hopper.

Start grinding rice by hand.

His rice mill can process paddy into rice at one time and complete the separation of rice grains and bran at the same time.

Under the action of the continuous rotation of the drum, Linggu completes rough machining through the spiral rack on the drum.

Then the white spirit rice was pushed to the exit and dropped.

The bran leaks from the rice sieve into the bottom of the casing and is discharged.

Success!

Looking at the white corn grains falling into the bowl of the sea, Wang Chen couldn't help but smile.

Although hand-operated rice milling is not very efficient.

But compared to grinding rice in stone troughs, it is more than ten times better.

He only uses the rice mill to meet his own needs. He is not running a rice pounding mill and does not need high speed.

I feel that the quality of life has improved a lot!

After grinding out the spiritual rice needed for a meal, Wang Chen lit a fire to cook the rice.

Immediately afterwards, he wrapped the nearly pickled monster meat in broad leaves and tied it with twine.

Finally, it is wrapped in water and yellow mud, then stuffed into the stove and roasted.

"Zhizhi."

The big white rat jumped up to Wang Chen's side, staring blankly at the red stove fire.

Wang Chen, who was sitting in front of the stove, reached out to pick it up and put it on his lap.

Xiaobai is a spirit rat who loves to be clean. His body is not dirty at all and does not have any odor.

But Wang Chen did not regard this humane spirit rat as a pet.

It's more like Wang Chen's family!

In this unaccompanied world, with its company, Wang Chen won't feel so lonely.

The big white rat enjoyed Wang Chen's touch and swung its tail in comfort.

Wang Chen asked curiously: "Xiaobai, where has your husband gone? Are you going to get divorced?"

He hadn't seen the golden squirrel in several days.

But judging from the normal appearance of the rat, nothing serious should have happened.

"Squeak!"

The big white rat barked twice in answer.

It's a pity that Wang Chen doesn't understand rat language.

Demons can be divided into transformed demons, spirit demons, great demons, demon kings, demon kings...

Further up there are celestial demons and demon gods.

Xiaobai is obviously a demon-turned-demon. He needs to remove the bones in his throat before he can speak human words.

That is the real spirit demon!

Wang Chen didn't expect to be able to communicate normally with Xiao Bai.

He just found something to talk about.

When the aroma of rice wafting out of the iron pot carried a hint of burnt aroma, Wang Chen put out the stove fire.

Then take out the "begging monster meat" stuffed in the stove.

Crush the hot and hard mud shell, and a strong aroma of meat will immediately spurt out!

Xiaobai, who was squatting next to Wang Chen, started crying.

Wang Chen put the barbecue on the table with a smile and scooped up two bowls of fragrant rice.

The big bowl belongs to me, and the small bowl is for Xiaobai.

Of course, Wang Chen did not forget to add the cut roast meat into the small white bowl.

"Eat."

He reached out and tapped the rat's head, and the rat immediately buried its head in the bowl and ate happily.

Not to mention how delicious it is!

Wang Chen also cut himself a large piece of monster meat.

Some time ago, I ate insect meat every day and I got tired of it.

Now the taste has been changed and spices are added to season it, he almost swallowed it all with his tongue!

Wang Chen is very lucky that he taught himself cooking and handwork in order to shoot videos.

Now they are all put to use.

In this strange world without mobile phones, computers and the Internet, food can soothe his soul.

After finishing this hard-earned dinner, it was already late at night.

Xiaobai returned to the nest with the rice ball made by Wang Chen in his mouth, and Wang Chen came to the quiet room to practice.

Today he redeemed the follow-up exercises of Five Elements Gong, and his daily practice resumed.

In the process of entering the intermediate level of Qi training, Wang Chen opened a new meridian, so the time it took for him to complete a mana cycle was extended a lot.

The speed of cultivation slows down accordingly.

[Five Elements Kung Fu·Experience +1]

[Five Elements Kung Fu (Fourth Level): 1/400]

Wang Chen completely ignored the message prompts that popped up in his field of vision and concentrated on comprehending the true meaning of higher-level techniques.

He didn't know how many more similar nights he would spend in the long, long years to come.



The next morning, the sound of Dingyang bells woke Wang Chen up from his sleep.

After getting up and washing up briefly, he made a breakfast to fill his stomach and returned to the quiet room to practice.

After finishing the "morning class", I went to work in the spiritual field.

Wang Chen no longer does the money-making job of rhinoceros removal.

Therefore, these ten acres of spiritual land must be taken care of well, otherwise it will be a disaster if it affects the harvest.

"Dog!"

While Wang Chen was plowing and loosening the soil for spiritual rice in the field, the old Suntou from next door appeared again.

"Where were you yesterday?"

He shouted in a hurry: "The head of the village came over and distributed formation flags to everyone to put in the spiritual field. He said that Master Zifu would come to clean up the pests today. You missed it!"

Wang Chen couldn't understand why the old man was so happy: "There are no ground rhinos in my family's spiritual field."

"What if I miss something?"

Lao Suntou smiled so hard that his teeth showed off: "I begged for it, and it's a good thing to clean it up again. It's a pity that I can't collect it on my behalf, otherwise I would beg it for you too."

He looked like he was getting a big advantage.

However, Wang Chen had a vague feeling that things were not that simple!
