Chapter 4 Let the family try new varieties of vegetables
After spending more than ten hours on the plane, Xu Yang finally set foot on the land of China. He turned around and was about to say hello to the girl, but found that the girl had already dragged her small luggage bag towards the exit.
"Hey!" Xu Yang laughed at himself, picked up his salute and left the house.
After buying a ticket at the long-distance bus station on the second floor of the airport, Xu Yang lay on the bed and fell asleep. The melancholy girl could not get out of his mind.
On the plane, when he fastened his seat belt, he found that the girl had her eyes closed nervously and was at a loss. He wanted to fasten the seat belt for her, but he was afraid that she would misunderstand. So Xu Yang called a flight attendant to enlighten him.
, soothing her mood until the girl fell asleep with her head on Xu Yang's shoulder.
It wasn't until two hours later when we were transferring flights in Amsterdam that the girl woke up. Xu Yang was finally able to move his paralyzed arm. Perhaps he found out that he was the culprit that caused Xu Yang's paralyzed arm. The girl's face turned a little red. On the contrary,
It was Xu Yang who smiled and waved his hand to express that it was okay.
Despite this, during the more than ten hours of flying from Amsterdam to Shanghai, the girl still didn't say a word to Xu Yang and just said hello politely. Unexpectedly, the girl left as soon as she got off the plane. Thinking of this, Xu Yang was still a little depressed
.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore!" Xu Yang shook his head and threw his consciousness into the secret realm.
"Why do you feel like something is missing here?"
In the secret realm, Xu Yang looked at the tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables in the 5 acres of land and frowned and murmured.
"Xu Yang, do you feel that there is a lack of bees and butterflies in this flowering season?"
Just when Xu Yang was puzzled, Zhinao reminded him.
"Yes! Yes! I said what was missing, it turned out to be bees and butterflies. It seems that I need to wait until I get home to solve this problem. But without bees to spread pollen, can these vegetables bear fruit?"
After listening to Zhinao's explanation, Xu Yang suddenly realized, but he also raised questions.
"This is the strange thing about energy seeds. We have already solved the step of spreading pollen." Zhinao said proudly.
Xu Yang was silent, but in his heart he admired the advanced civilization of Zhinu's planet. At the same time, he became more determined to learn these technologies and promote them.
Xu Yang walked towards the paddy field by the small lake. The water in the field was almost dry, and the ears of millet on the rice stalks as thick as a little finger weighed down the rice stalks, causing the rice stalks to lower their heads.
Xu Yang picked off a rice ear and opened it, and was immediately stunned. The rice grains were as big as sunflower seeds.
"This rice grain is so big. Why didn't you notice it last time? The yield of this acre of land is definitely more than 1,000 kilograms! Compared with the current average yield of 500 kilograms per mu in my country, it is more than double! If it can be promoted in reality , people no longer have to worry about going hungry.”
Xu Yang was shocked by his speculation.
"From now on, you will be called Longya Rice!" Xu Yang gave the rice a resounding name.
It was already 1:30 at night when he returned to Wenshui Town. Fortunately, his third brother Xu Huanhu drove to the station to pick him up, which prevented him from sleeping on the street at night.
When she got home, her mother, Lin Xiuhan, was still awake. She learned that her son would be back today, so she waited until now.
"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Looking at his old mother's gray hair, Xu Yang's nose felt sore. After his father passed away, his mother became much older!
"Just come back. You two brothers should go to bed early. If you have anything to do, we can talk tomorrow!" Lin Xiuhan warned with a smile, then turned and went back to the room.
After a speechless night, Xu Yang got up early the next morning. After greeting his grandfather, uncle, aunt, and neighborhood leaders, he told his mother his plan.
"Mom, the main reason I came back this time is to test some newly developed grains and vegetable seeds in our own fields. If successful, I decided to open a farm in Portugal. In EU countries, the price of vegetables is far higher.
Much higher than meat, it is a huge market, and Portugal has a lot of barren land, and the Portuguese president has also launched a series of measures to encourage agriculture. It is an opportunity for me, and the chance of success is great!"
Xu Yang then introduced various situations, hoping to get his mother's support. After all, the funds needed to open a farm were only a small amount, and he didn't have that much money at all.
"Mom is older. You can make your own decisions on these things if you think they are right. The only thing mom can do to help you is to use her connections with the older generation to help you borrow some money."
Lin Xiuhan looked at her son's confident face and felt very pleased that her son had grown up.
Because the third brother Xu Huanhu opened a small jewelry processing factory, he went to do his own business. Xu Yang started to work on his own piece of land.
First, loosen the soil, then divide it into several ridges, dig holes and plant tomatoes and cabbage respectively. Finally, evenly sprinkle the energy water secretly brought from the secret realm.
After being busy until 11:30 noon, Xu Yang returned home with a hoe. His mother hadn't come back yet, and Xu Yang knew that she was raising money for him to open a farm.
Thinking that his mother was so old and she, who had always been relatively self-reliant, still had to borrow money from relatives, Xu Yang felt particularly uncomfortable and secretly vowed to let his mother live a comfortable life as soon as possible.
When his mother and brother didn't come back, Xu Yang went into the secret realm and took out some unsold Longya rice and vegetables from the warehouse.
After a while of busy work, four dishes and one soup came out, a simple home-cooked dish, a stir-fried shredded pork with green pepper, a stir-fried green vegetable, stir-fried green beans and a garlic eggplant, plus a tomato and egg soup.
"It smells so good! Yangzi, what are you cooking?" Grandpa Xu Tongxi came in on a walking stick.
"Grandpa, you came back just in time. You will have dinner soon. I will ask Nainai to come back for dinner." Xu Yang said with a smile.
Since the death of his father and uncle, grandpa Nainai has taken turns eating between the two families. The third uncle's family is living in a tight situation, while the fourth uncle's family is living abroad.
"You will be back soon. Wait for your mother. Anyway, grandpa is not hungry now." Xu Tongxi smiled and stopped Xu Yang from going out.
"Okay, let me make you a bowl of soup first." Xu Yang made a small bowl of tomato and egg soup and brought it to Xu Tongxi.
"Well, it tastes really good! The acidity has a refreshing taste, which is very special! Grandpa also often drinks tomato and egg soup, why doesn't it taste the same as today?" Xu Tongxi asked doubtfully.
"Haha, grandpa, you forgot that I am a chef. I am quite capable!" Xu Yang said with a smile. He didn't want to say that this was the raw material of vegetables yet. After all, he didn't know how to explain it. If his family knew,
I almost died in an explosion abroad, but I didn't scare them.
"It smells so good!" At this time, Lin Xiuhan and Xu Huanhu walked in, supporting nainai Chen Ronghua.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start dinner!" Xu Yang said, opening the rice cooker, and as a burst of heat rose, a strong aroma of rice filled the entire restaurant, making everyone hungry for a while.
“It smells so good! It’s delicious!”
The third brother Xu Huanhu devoured two large bowls of rice in one go. Even Xu Tongxi and Chen Ronghua, who usually don't eat much, also ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup.
"Is this rice good? This is a new type of rice. It is rich in nutrients and has a more mellow and delicious taste. I call it longya rice. It is in season now. I want to try growing some in my paddy field so that everyone can eat it in the future.
Plant rice." Xu Yang said with a smile.
"Wow, we will be lucky from now on." Xu Huanhu shouted happily.
The meal was finished quickly in the interplay of cups and cups. Everyone was still a little bit unfinished, but I was afraid it would be uncomfortable to eat again, especially because they didn't dare to let the two old people eat too much at once.
After the meal, Xu Yang asked his younger brother to take his grandfather Nainai and his mother to rest. He stayed to clean up the dishes, and took out a few tomatoes from the secret place, washed them, cut them into crescent shapes, and served them as fruits to everyone.
, of course, this unique taste attracted endless admiration from everyone. Then he went to the kitchen to secretly replace the water in the water tank with the energy water from the secret realm.
Both mother and grandfather Nainai are getting older, and their health is obviously much worse. Energy water has the ability to improve people's physical fitness. Regular drinking can cure the tiredness of the elderly when they were young. This is what Zhinao told Xu Yang, because
On the planet of Zhi Nao, energy water is the water commonly used by people.
In the next few days, Xu Yang sprinkled Longya rice seeds in a paddy field at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the seedlings to grow so that they could be transplanted in May.
