At this time in late July, the sun was already very scorching at eight o'clock in the morning.
"Jiang Zhe" blocked the sun with his palms, stood up and looked at the end of the rice field, his eyes seemed to be looking for something.
"Azhe, work harder, you can rest after finishing this long."
The uncle on the side shouted at this time.
"knew."
Jiang Yan nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Bend down and continue harvesting rice.
The end of July and the beginning of August is when the first rice crop is harvested. The harvest time varies slightly every year, but this year it is slightly earlier.
Jiang Yan has finished harvesting this season's rice, and his father will take his place during the next season's planting.
Because he wanted to take over his father's job and start working as a postman.
Cutting rice is a physical job,
But just like transplanting rice seedlings, you can’t rush.
Row after row, seven or eight in a row,
Grab a hand, put it on the edge, and cut four or five rows.
The sickle should be sharp and the movement should be quick, not fast and slow.
Farm work is like this, you have to follow the rhythm.
After finishing harvesting in one field, they rested for a while and then moved on to the next field. They continued to work until nearly eleven o'clock, and then the group of people rushed home carrying baskets of millet that had been threshed with a threshing machine.
In the 1980s, rural areas had already implemented household distribution of production. If the script was set before 1982, Jiang Yan would still be able to experience what it means to have a big pot meal. It would be a pity.
But that’s fine, it’s also the right time for him to travel through time, or in other words, the script sets it up.
Busy farming season,
The food in rural areas is second only to the Chinese New Year.
As a well-known young man in the village, Jiang Zhe is also good at carrying burdens. Two baskets of rice are not heavy considering his strength.
two baskets,
That is to say, two baskets and ten liters are equal to one bucket, which is more than eighty kilograms.
With a burden of one hundred and eighty kilograms on your shoulders, your walking speed will be much faster.
Soon, Jiang Yan saw the smoke, which also meant that he was getting closer to home. At this time, he seemed to have smelled the smell of delicious food, so the frequency of his feet became faster and faster.
How do you say something?
Whether we like it or not, life always urges us to move forward. People prepare, set off, trek, and settle down. Wherever they stop, a fire will be lit.
This refers to his current state.
After returning home and putting down the pole, Jiang Yan called "Mom" and walked directly into the kitchen, then consciously sat down behind the earthen stove.
Then I picked up the tongs and picked through the stove.
making fire and playing with fire,
It has always been a daily activity for boys in rural areas.
"Today we are roasting pork with spicy pepper. I'll call your uncle and the others later." Mother smiled and poured the bacon into the pot with a "sizzling" sound. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.
During the busy farming season, what you want is spicy food, heavy oil and heavy carbohydrates.
Jiang Yan swallowed hard, spit out the word "good", and then stared at his mother skillfully performing the art of gourmet food.
Regardless of whether they rely on mountains or water, workers have delicious food that belongs to their families.
Spicy roasted pork, spicy Xiangxi and bacon that has been preserved for a long time. The ingredients are not precious, but after working hard all morning, and eating it with rice, what does it mean to live a fairy life? This is it.
These flavors have been mixed with hometown, fellow villagers, nostalgia, thrift, perseverance and other emotions and beliefs for a long time, and they are only on the tip of the tongue and in the heart, so that we can hardly distinguish which one is the taste and which one.
It's feelings.
Hiss~
Jiang Yan's saliva almost drooled.
Seeing this, his mother smiled and urged Jiang Yan to call someone quickly.
Jiang Yan chuckled and skipped out of the door.
But I was thinking in my mind, should I publish "A Bite of China"?
Forget it, the time has not come yet.
After a delicious lunch, Jiang Yan flushed himself with well water, lay on the straw mat and took a lunch break while shaking his cattail leaf fan.
In my mind are the thoughts that have circulated over the past few days.
Life in the countryside can be summed up in one word: slow.
As an international superstar, he is used to living a high-class and fast-paced life. This kind of pace naturally makes him yearn for relaxation, otherwise he would not cycle through it 30 times in one breath without being impatient at all.
So this is also the reason why "Longing for Life" will be so popular in later generations.
But similarly, "Longing for Life" is the same as "A Bite of China". In the real world of 1999, when supplies were still very scarce, the effect of this kind of program would definitely not be much better.
Especially "Longing for Life", now everyone is yearning for cities and abroad, but you yearn for the countryside? This is sick.
So just wait a little longer, maybe six, seven, eight or nine years.
In addition, Jiang Yan also reflected on this and felt that the direction of the variety show needs to be adjusted in the future.
In this era, in fact, sometimes it is not necessarily necessary to be down-to-earth all the time. On the contrary, it is the kind of high-end that is more in line with the taste of the public.
Just like "Zhengda Variety Show", a group of hosts take you around the world to open your eyes. This was the mainstream in China in 1999.
So the next season of "Extreme Challenge" will have an international version? Or simply start a variety show that is in line with international standards?
Jiang Yan thinks this is possible, but for what? This is a question...
While thinking, Jiang Yan fell asleep.
At night, after a busy afternoon, all the rice was harvested. This year was considered a bumper harvest, and at this time, my father came back under the starlight.
Jiang Zhe did not greet his father immediately, but interacted with the "second child".
"Second brother, come on, I've lost weight..."
Jiang Yan rubbed the second child's neck, and the second child also acted affectionately in front of Jiang Yan.
The second child is a German shepherd, said to be the descendant of a retired military dog.
This is very rare in rural areas, so only postmen like my father can equip it.
After so many years, Jiang Yan feels that the second child may still be a little different from the military dogs in service, but in terms of human nature, it is better than all the dogs Jiang Yan has ever seen.
Strangely enough, after going through the cycle thirty times, Jiang Yan clearly felt that his second child was closer to him than at the beginning.
Jiang Yan initially thought that this might be the reason why the second child knew that there might be another person living inside "Jiang Zhe".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If this is the case, it would be really amazing. Can dogs really see something different?
However, after thinking about it, Jiang Yan felt that it was the reason why his degree of compatibility was higher than during the first cycle, and this was the only explanation that was the most reasonable.
So this is not bad. With the dog as a reference, he has basically determined that he will be more than 90% compatible after going out.
The base blue skill is very good.
But the question also arises. This young man "Jiang Zhe" is a failed student. He doesn't have a blue or above skill in his body, so what will he get when the time comes?
Will it have a hidden skill like that time, or will it have nothing?
Jiang Yan didn't care much, it was important to eat.
After another fifteen cycles, Jiang Yan finally decided to end this peaceful life.
Before leaving, he put all of "Jiang Zhe's" clothes into the space, including the dark short-sleeved shirt that was washed out and white on the floor, a somewhat baggy vest, Jiefang shoes, and the military trousers that his mother had carefully mended. This is what he will do next.
The costumes, compared to the original version, will be closer to the characters of this era.
There was still half a minute left in the countdown. Jiang Yan thought for a while, then ran to the kitchen cabinet, picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth.
Mother said that if you only eat one piece of meat at a meal, you can eat it for every meal. This is the simplest concept of the older generation. Jiang Yan thinks it is very reasonable, so today's cannot be left behind.
Chirp, chirp, chirp, Jiang Yan chewed the delicious spicy meat, and the next second, the world rotated.
Back on the set, Jiang Yan stood in the rice fields and once again felt like he was in another world.
Fortunately, I've had this experience several times, so it's not a big problem.
Ten minutes later, the shooting ended.
Jiang Yan also immediately gained two objects in his mind.
One is a permanent character, and the other is a skill whose compatibility exceeds 90%, which is a purple German Shepherd portrait.
