The dinner was very sumptuous, including fried corn kernels, braised radishes, wild yellow bamboo shoots, four plates of long bread, a plate of Noxing Empire's unique curdled yogurt, a plate of sour plum pecans, and the most rare thing was the old
Yu also killed a wild Tushou chicken and cooked a large can of pine fungus chicken soup.
For the wealthy families in the Nuoxing Empire, this was simply the most unpalatable country picnic, but for Lao Yu, it was already an extraordinary enjoyment. Of course, for Ding Meng, this was not enough.
Stuff between his teeth.
However, Ding Meng would definitely not eat haise like he was eating steak on the Swordfish spaceship, because he could see that Lao Yu's family was not financially well-off.
He had asked Lao Yu carefully on the way back just now. The buyer's offer for the thousands of kilograms of barley harvested in the afternoon was about 600 tokens.
Ding Meng had never had any idea about money, but once he compared it, he understood the depth of it.
If you want to buy a small intelligent harvesting robot, you need 3,600 tokens, which means you need to work hard to plant ten acres of land. Such a good harvest only comes about once every two months, and the robot also needs to spend money to maintain it, so
Lao Yu is reluctant to spend money to buy it.
Nutrient solution is not cheap either. The sales center in nearby Qingze Town sells it for 33 tokens. Calculated, ordinary people can barely keep food and clothing for two months, so in addition to rice fields, Lao Yu also needs to grow other vegetables.
Meat poultry.
Because Lao Yu's daughter is currently studying at Christine College in Akize City, this is a considerable expense.
In the black gold base, wealth is calculated by index points, so everyone usually has no specific concept. But in the world of normal people, Ding Meng now knows that survival is not easy, especially if a person has to be honest.
Sell your labor.
In the evening, when Ding Meng came out of the cabin, he saw Yu Man. Yu Man was helping his father sort out the wheat in the yard. She was slightly tall and dressed very plainly, with green cloth trousers, a plaid shirt, and a pair of very
Vibrant white sneakers, a round face that looks very healthy, and big eyes full of kindness and sincerity. As soon as he saw Ding Meng, he came up to greet him enthusiastically:
"Are you Ding Meng? Welcome, come in and sit down. Dad said I would like to thank you for your help this afternoon."
"Hello." Ding Meng was a little embarrassed. He rarely saw the opposite sex and didn't know how to deal with the opposite sex. Moreover, Yu Man was not ugly. She was full of youthful atmosphere and showed generous and confident movements.
Like a friendly girl next door, it is easy for young boys to feel restricted.
Although Ding Meng was restrained, the little bad guy started to comment carelessly: "Hey, this girl is pretty good. Ding Meng, look at her hair. She has two braids. What do you think? Are you interested?
Let's date each other, this type of girl is very interesting..."
Ding Meng said with a cold face: "Shut up!"
The little bad guy was dissatisfied: "Humph!"
Dinner was ready, and the three of them quickly sat down at the square table in the yard. The protagonist this time was obviously not Ding Meng, because Lao Yu kept asking after him, and at the same time he was asking about Yu Man's study situation in school.
When it comes to learning, Yu Man is obviously not as generous and confident as before. He holds a small bowl and picks up vegetables silently: "Dad, my "Tongming Quan" has been practiced to the third level of integration. I tested it last month.
, my meditation time in the induction cabin has exceeded 20 minutes..."
Lao Yu obviously didn't understand anything about cultivation. He only knew that Yu Man was working hard towards becoming a source energy user, but he had not yet become a true source energy user.
Whether in the Nuo Star Empire or the Shenghui Federation, the social status of energy users is very high. Yu Man is still working as a farmer at such an old age. He is just trying his best to support Yu Man's studies, hoping that Yu Man can become an energy user one day.
, have a bright future.
"Xiao Man, you have to keep working hard. Last time you said you could meditate for 17 minutes and 30 seconds. How come it has been several months and your meditation time has only increased by a few minutes?" Old Yu seemed to be serious in his words.
"Dad, meditation is not as simple as you think. Every additional ten seconds requires a lot of effort." Yu Man seemed unconvinced and muttered in a low voice: "Our family is not richer than those
My classmates, they can buy amplifiers, but I don’t have the money to buy them, so the progress is a little slow..."
Old Yu also sighed: "Hey, that's right, but you are 22 years old this year and have not yet become a source energy user. Let's see if the new batch of spiny bison can be sold for a good price another day. Let's also buy some amplifiers.
, there is really not much time left for you..."
This is obviously a true microcosm of an ordinary family. Once specific practical issues are discussed at the dinner table, the father and daughter both lower their heads and pick up the dishes in silence.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Ding Meng quickly said: "This...that...Yu...Sister Yu, does the academy you study in specialize in teaching people to practice martial arts?"
It’s no wonder that Ding Meng didn’t know. The Nuoxing Empire advocates force. Most ordinary universities focus on practicing martial arts and sensing source energy. After all, everyone aspires to be an source of energy. Only a few schools learn other professional knowledge, and the nobles
The school is where the real masters gather, and there are basically no ordinary people there.
"Ha, brother Dingmeng, just call me Aman." Yu Man looked very happy when she saw that it was him asking the question, "I heard from dad that you cut wheat very quickly in the afternoon and you are in good physical condition. You are also very happy."
Want to become an energizer?"
Lao Yu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Ding is in good health and can work. He is still young and can study. Maybe he can become a source energy user in the future."
The little bad guy immediately hummed: "This silly girl, our Ding Meng has already been a source energy user. You, a rookie who has not yet started, can beat you dozens of times..."
"Little bad guy, please be quiet." Ding Meng quickly stopped her, turned to Yu Man and asked humbly: "Sister Man, can you learn real martial arts in your school?"
"Of course." Yu Man immediately became proud, "Our Listing Academy is the best university in Akize City. It has many subjects, including fighting, martial arts, physical fitness, hot weapons, cold weapons, manufacturing, and weapon refining.
Classes, refining medicine class, data class, battle armor class..."
She talked about more than ten kinds of things in one breath, and Ding Meng was immediately interested. Martial arts had always been his weakness. If he had the opportunity to learn an excellent martial arts, it would undoubtedly be of great help in the future.
"So, how can I go to your school to learn these?" Ding Meng asked.
"This..." Yu Man finally hesitated, because she saw her father winking at her, and she immediately realized that she had forgotten that Ding Meng was an interstellar refugee and did not have the citizenship of the empire, so he was destined not to become an official student of the academy.
"Ah, brother Ding Meng, what type do you want to learn?" Yu Man began to change the topic.
Ding Meng thought for a while and said: "I want to learn everything because I know too little."
This is the truth. His long-term exile made him know nothing about anything other than trying to survive. Even after escaping to the Swordfish spaceship for survival, he didn't even know how to dodge the operation of the electro-particle laser cannon.
Xin Jie's miraculous performance on the spaceship really left a deep impression on him. It was always right to learn more. Maybe it would come in handy in a critical moment one day?
The little bad guy can help him in many cases, but those are just theories, and no matter how high the theoretical level is, it can't compare to his own actual operations.
"This..." Faced with Ding Meng's words, Yu Man really didn't know how to answer.
