Chapter 11 The hope of the whole family (please vote for recommendation)
…
Wang Shouzhe came with a purpose today, but he remained unhurried and casually chatted with Wang Xiaozhi about some strange things. When he mentioned that last night, together with his sixth uncle Wang Dinghai, he happened to catch a 150-pound red-scaled eel.
At that time, Wang Xiaozhi also slapped his thigh excitedly: "That little bastard in Dinghai may not be able to get one in two years. He must be blessed by you this time."
Although the red-scaled eel is not as good as the red-tailed eel, it is still considered a great tonic and ranks among the spiritual foods.
Spiritual food is a good thing that can quickly replenish the Qi and blood of Xuanwu. It is a necessity for every Xuanwu's survival. Even an old man like Wang Xiaozhi, who is over seventy years old and has stagnated in cultivation or even gradually regressed, still needs to replenish some spiritual energy from time to time.
Food.
Otherwise, Qi and blood will be insufficient, and physical decline and cultivation will be accelerated.
The younger generation, on the other hand, needs spiritual food even more to replenish their Qi and blood, so that they can grow faster and better.
The two were chatting and laughing, and within half an hour, the cook and her two sisters prepared some farm delicacies, fresh chicken, duck, fish and goose, as well as a large stone basin of braised pork and pork.
"Shouzhe, it's a rare time for you to come here. Fourth Grandpa has nothing else to entertain you." After Wang Xiaozhi ran into the bedroom, he took out a simple wine pot and said with a smile, "Try my treasured wine."
Long-lasting good wine, drink as much as you can from this pot, if you can’t finish it, take it back with you.”
While talking.
A young man with dark skin and mud all over his body walked in and said in a hearty voice: "Grandpa, you are so partial. I usually don't even ask for a sip of your White Jade Spirit Wine. When fourth brother comes today, you take the whole pot."
Come out."
"You little brat, how many pounds do you think you have, can you compare with Shouzhe?" When Wang Xiaozhi saw this young man, he laughed and scolded, "Thank you for coming back with a meal, go and wash up.
Count you in."
"Third brother." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands with a smile. He knew that this was Wang Shounuo, the third in the seventh generation of the Wang family.
"Fourth brother." Wang Shounuo hurriedly returned the salute solemnly, and then said with a smile, "I'm going to wash up first, and I'll greet my fourth brother later." After saying that, he quickly left.
By the time the table was set with bowls, chopsticks, and wine cups, Wang Shounuo had already taken a quick shower, sat down under Wang Shouzhe, smelled the aroma of the vegetables, stared at the pot of white jade spirit rice wine with greedy eyes, and said with a smile: "Today is a great opportunity."
My fourth brother is gone. You and I haven’t had a meal together for a long time. I’ll toast you with a few more drinks later.”
"Third brother has worked hard for the family. It's time for me to toast you a few drinks." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile.
"Tong'er, hurry up and pour some wine for your fourth brother." Wang Xiaozhi was in a very good mood, his dark face was radiant, and he casually ordered.
"Yes, grandpa." Wang Luotong picked up the wine pot and poured it for Wang Shouzhe, Wang Xiaozhi, and then Wang Shounuo.
This wine is pure white in color and exudes a clear and mellow aroma, which makes you feel energetic just by smelling it.
Just when the two girls, Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing, were about to go back to the kitchen table to eat, Wang Shouzhe took the lead and said, "Fourth Grandpa, I'm not an outsider. Let's sit down and eat together, the fourth and fifth sisters."
Wang Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, but did not refute Wang Shouzhe's face. He smiled and said: "Since you fourth brother has spoken, let's have a meal together."
"Thank you, grandpa, and thank you, fourth brother." Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing both sat obediently at the bottom.
Afterwards, naturally there was another round of banquets and banquets.
The two girls ate quietly and obediently, pouring wine from time to time.
"Good wine." After half a glass of wine, Wang Shouzhe felt that his lower abdomen was beginning to burn. The energy and blood in his body were surging, and his energy gradually became stronger.
This white jade spirit rice wine is brewed with white jade spirit rice and many precious medicinal materials. The effect of replenishing qi and blood is far better than pure spiritual food.
But its price is also very "touching". A pot of white jade spirit rice wine weighing several kilograms often costs several pieces of dry gold. Even Wang Shouzhe can only enjoy it once.
Moreover, spiritual wine can only be used as an auxiliary spiritual food, and you can drink a little occasionally. Otherwise, once you become addicted, it will not be a good thing to be drunk all day long.
At this time, the little girl Wang Luojing, who was eating silently, glanced at the wine bottle from time to time and pursed her lips as if she was greedy.
"Luo Tong can drink half a glass. Luo Jing is too young, so she can only drink the bottom of the glass." Wang Shouzhe picked up the wine bottle and poured some for each of his two sisters.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Both girls thanked me happily. It was obvious that they had been coveting the spirit wine for a long time.
At this time, Wang Xiaozhi's face trembled, as if he felt some physical pain, and he said in a low voice: "Shouzhe, let's give this spiritual wine to two girls to drink, won't it be a waste?"
Wang Shouzhe's eyelids also twitched. The four old masters really did not hide their patriarchal thoughts at all.
"Fourth Grandpa, all our children are the same." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile.
"It's different, girls will get married sooner or later." Wang Xiaozhi was still nagging sadly, "Shouzhe, you are at the threshold of entering the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, so you should drink more, keep your promise. Take less sips and leave more for Shouzhe."
Wang Shounuo quickly put down his wine glass in embarrassment and laughed twice.
In the eyes of Wang Xiaozhi, an elder of the clan, Wang Shouzhe is the direct lineage patriarch, and the hope and pillar of the family's future. Even he is much higher than his grandson Wang Shounuo, let alone the two granddaughters who "lose money".
Fortunately, his granddaughter and grandson are used to it, and they can enjoy the meal happily. However, under Wang Xiaozhi's "guidance", there is still more than half a pot of spirit wine left, and he is ready to clean it with most of the picked pigs. The meat was all sent to Wang Shouzhe's courtyard, and he would enjoy it all later.
Regarding Wang Xiaozhi's blatant "partiality", Wang Shouzhe was quite helpless and had to let him go for the time being.
After they had had enough wine and food, Wang Shouzhe suggested: "Fourth Grandpa, I came to Fenggu Farm this time mainly because I want to learn about agriculture with Fourth Grandpa."
"Agriculture?" Wang Xiaozhi frowned, "Shouzhe, you are the head of the clan. The most important thing right now is to practice hard and advance to the Lingtai realm as soon as possible. Don't be distracted by agriculture and other chores, Fourth Grandpa and you Third brother will take care of it."
Wang Shouzhe naturally wanted to know more about Fenggu Farm when he came here. If possible, he would also like to use modern thinking to explore it and see if there is any way to develop industrial efficiency.
However, after meeting Wang Xiaozhi for the first time, I discovered that Wang Xiaozhi, an old man, was loyal to his family, but after all, his thinking had become solidified due to his old age.
He was not as obedient as his sixth uncle Zhao Dinghai. If he casually proposed a few ideas, he would probably anger him. Immediately, he changed direction and said: "Fourth Grandpa, you misunderstood. I am just the head of the family, and I have to be responsible for the clan."
I know a thing or two about domestic industry. Why don't you bother Third Brother to accompany me around and appreciate the pastoral scenery."
"You, that's all, let Shounuo accompany you for half a day. The wheat has reached the grain-filling period recently, and there are many chores in the fields, so the fourth grandfather will not accompany you." With that, Wang Xiaozhi picked up the farm tools and hurriedly
Went to the ground.
Haha~
Although he is already the leader of the clan, the clan elders in his family still treat him as a child, and more expect him to use his talents to cultivate to the Lingtai realm.
This feeling seems to treat him, the patriarch, as a mascot?
In fact, if he could live a comfortable life, Wang Shouzhe would like to be a mascot and a rice insect. It is a pity that the Wang family members are not capable enough, and the family power has gradually withered in just a few decades. If this continues, the Wang family will be safe.
It won't take long for it to be eaten up and wiped clean by people, and it will completely disappear in the long river of history.
We must quickly let the Wang family rise while they still have some foundation, even if they have the most basic ability to protect themselves.
"Fourth brother, I will show you around. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me." Wang Shounuo stood up and held his hands in his hands. He was very polite to Wang Shouzhe, even a little in awe.
Firstly, Wang Shouzhe is the direct clan leader, and secondly, his personal strength is many times stronger than him.
"Thank you, third brother." Wang Shouzhe returned the courtesy politely.
"Let's go too." Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing followed suit. Behind them was Wang Gui, a young man who helped Wang Shouzhe hold swords and bows. Behind him, there were four fully armed generals.
The brothers and sisters were wandering around the farm. It was early summer, and the weather was getting a bit hot. The hot wind mixed with moisture blew on their faces, making the air slightly thicker.
"Our Fenggu Farm is an industry that Zhouxuan ancestor personally developed a hundred years ago." Wang Shounuo said with a somewhat proud expression, "At that time, our ancestor organized the development of tributary river channels, dredging and filling, and strengthening river embankments.
A water conservancy gate was built on the upper reaches of the tributary, forming the prototype of Fenggu Farm. Subsequently, the tribesmen continued to cultivate and maintain the wasteland, turning this semi-dry and semi-humid wasteland into fertile farmland. Generations of tribesmen have carefully managed it, and now there are more
Wait for 3,567 acres of fertile land and 200 households of tenant farmers!"
