Chapter 494
The weather in Sichuan and Sichuan is always associated with rain. It hasn’t been clear for a few days, but the lightning and thunder began, and it lasted for a whole day.The torrential rain produced small flash floods, which washed down from the top of the mountain and washed down many vegetables.
None of the workers on the farm rested. They all wore raincoats and held small bamboo poles to help up the seedlings that had been washed down, put them on the bamboo poles, and tied them together to prevent the rain from attacking again.
The water on the main road can only flow downhill, and Li Qingyun's pond is the lowest place nearby, and the half-filled pond seems to rise to the shore all at once.Some timid fish, jumping wildly in the dirty water, often jump to the shore, fall down in the mud nest, and thump until they are stuck in the muddy water, thumping, and being eaten by passing ducks.
The main mountain surrounding the small farm was originally divided into nine ponds, but after a day of heavy rain, there was no place to live, so the nine ponds have been connected into one piece.No matter what kind of pond is raised, it is already chaotic at this time. Seven or eight ponds raise Chinese soft-shelled turtles, and now it is uncertain how many freshwater fish have been mixed in.
When Li Qingyun originally designed the pond, he had left drainage ditches.However, under this kind of heavy rain, the gutters are already full, how can we drain water?
By the time the pumps were set up to pump water to the other side of the road, the fish and turtles in the nine ponds would have been exhausted long ago.However, in order to prevent his villa from being flooded, he still had to pump water.
Li Qingyun was wearing big trousers, was bare-chested, and was holding a shovel, directing the workers to pump water while digging the gutter.The rain was so heavy that it had exceeded the limit of previous years. At this time, we had to consider whether there would be flash floods upstream.
Today, the villagers who should have been looking for people to intercede everywhere to apply for fish farming workers are all busy in their own fields.There were no tourists today, and Li Qingyun's parents also went to drain water in the rice fields.
"Uncle, uncle..." Mao Mao, wearing a raincoat and holding a bamboo basket in his hand, ran over excitedly and shouted, "Do you see what I have in here?"
Li Qingyun looked into his basket, and found a basket of snails and a few green eels, and immediately asked, "The snails are not small, where do you catch so many?"
"Grandma and grandpa caught it for me. There are a lot of them in the rice fields. There are no snails in the daytime. Now that the rain has subsided, grandma will catch so many for me in a while. There are more in her basket. I heard from grandma that the snails are very good Eat, I came here specially to ask you if you can cook it? I originally asked the little chef to cook it for me, but he said he didn’t have time and he had to cook for the guests.” Maomao complained a little bit aggrievedly.
"Haha, what's so difficult about this, don't forget, there is a super chef living in Uncle's farm, he is the master of your little chef uncle, he is amazing. What flavor do you want to eat, tell uncle? "It's getting dark, and the rain is about to stop. Anyway, there's nothing to do, why don't you make some snacks and have a tooth-dashing festival.
"Okay, I'm going to eat at my uncle's house today. No, I want to tell Tongtong and invite her to come and eat too. We have agreed that we will share the blessings and share the hardships," Maomao said. Finished, dropped the basket and ran towards the village.
Li Qingyun shook his head helplessly, and greeted the workers, telling them to smoke for a while before they could go home for dinner.If you don't leave tomorrow, you don't have to smoke.
At this time, Zheng Xinyan was standing by the pond, chatting with Gong Xinghe, seeing the atmosphere of the two talking, it seemed that the conversation was going well, and laughter came from time to time.A middle-aged man stood not far away with Gong Feiyu, who seemed to be a member of his own clan who came here to give them the incomplete cheats.
Li Qingyun yelled carelessly: "Old Zheng, come and help me make a snail dinner. Mr. Gong, you have been here for two days, and it is my fault that I have not had a chance to entertain you. I have time tonight. Let's come to my house for a few drinks." Cup, and taste Chef Zheng's handicraft by the way."
Naturally, Zheng Xinyan had nothing to say, he had accepted his fate a long time ago, he came to Li Qingyun's house to be a cook, and he did it smoothly, and he was afraid that he would not be used... Sometimes, he himself felt that he was very cheap. A master, who is willing to cook for others as a chef, if one day he is not allowed to do it, he is worried about falling out of favor.
"Okay, snails are my favorite food. After the heavy rain, the grass was crawling all over the place. When I was talking just now, I wanted to pick up some for cooking. But in front of Mr. Gong, how dare I make a mistake, bear with me. Up to now, I never thought I would still be lucky." Zheng Xinyan agreed excitedly, rubbed his hands together, ignored even the old man Gong, ran towards Li Qingyun, and took the bamboo basket in his hand.
Gong Xinghe observed Zheng Xinyan's joyful expression and willing and humble actions with great interest. He could conclude that this second level of spiritual cultivation was willing to contact Li Qingyun from the bottom of his heart and obey his orders and arrangements.
And Li Qingyun is just a martial artist with particularly strong blood and energy, and his realm is not high, he is only a middle-level one, but he has an ethereal and free aura on his body, he seems to be extremely confident, and he doesn't seem to care about anything. Taken together, he is extremely mysterious and weird. Gives an unfathomable feeling.
"Haha, I am so honored to be invited by Li Xiaoyou. I have long heard that the vegetables and good wine in Li Xiaoyou's house are extremely rare. I finally have the opportunity to taste them today. Not only will I go, but I will also bring two juniors there. Please forgive me." Gong Xinghe laughed, as if he was very happy to be invited.
The middle-aged man in the distance was extremely surprised, and asked Gong Feiyu in a low voice: "The young man is Li Qingyun? Even if his grandfather has entered the third level of martial arts, your grandfather shouldn't treat him like this. This tone of voice , It’s almost the same as talking with the masters of the rivers and lakes of the same generation.”
"Uncle Jiu, don't you understand this? Not to mention his status and background in the world, just because Li Qingyun has such a farm and has the resources of elixir, it is worthy of grandpa to treat him differently. You haven't tasted his vegetables. Heling tea is more than [-] to [-] percent higher than ours." Gong Feiyu said meaningfully.
"The vegetables from his family? Haven't we tasted them in Qingheju? It's just that it tastes better and contains some extremely low aura. It is the best tonic for ordinary people. It can strengthen the body and prolong life, but for us practitioners, it has no effect. They are so small that they can be ignored, what special status can these things have?" The middle-aged man said disdainfully.
"What kind of spiritual plant is that? The real good thing, which idiot is willing to sell it in large quantities? After my observation, the vegetables sold outside can only be regarded as ordinary spiritual plants. And the vegetables he eats at home are the real high-quality spiritual plants. It's higher class than ours. Uncle Jiu, if you don't go, then don't regret it." Gong Feiyu said, he had already called out Grandpa, and quickly followed.
The middle-aged man froze for a moment, stomped his feet and said, "Just go, don't you believe that the spiritual plants grown by their family can catch up with a thousand-year-old family like ours?"
Knowing about Zheng Xinyan's deal with the Gong family, neither Chu Yingtai nor Gu Zhaoji participated in this kind of dinner, and they also knew how to avoid suspicion.
In the kitchen, Zheng Xinyan excitedly said to Li Qingyun while handling the snails: "That incomplete cheat book is a good thing. I only read the first three pages, and I knew it was related to our Mingtang sect. What is our Fengshui spiritual practice talking about?" Yeah? It can be summed up in eight words, "Looking for dragons and acupuncture points, moving wind and water". This incomplete book talks about the general outline of Xunlong acupuncture points. The realm remains the same, and the attack ability can be increased by at least twice. Among all the types of cultivation, Feng Shui spiritual cultivation, which has the weakest attack, can also have the domineering power of a battle."
"Okay, as long as it's useful to you." Li Qingyun flipped his hands, took out a pine brocade box from nowhere, threw it on the counter in the kitchen, and said, "This is the century-old sealwort they want. When they eat and drink , find a suitable opportunity and trade with them."
Zheng Xinyan was so excited that he almost cut off his fingers. He stuffed the pine brocade box into his pocket excitedly, and said, "I'm so happy. I ate a few pieces of sealwort before and didn't think it was precious. Today's piece is different, because It can be exchanged for an incomplete Fengshui book. Thank you for your kindness, and I, Old Zheng, will never forget my brother’s kindness to me."
"It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer elixir, so you should cherish it. If there are any extra, I would like to exchange for a book of secret arts. Not to mention the precious ones, as long as a small formation or spell that can isolate sound is enough." All right." Li Qingyun pretended to sigh, as if this was the last century-old sealwort, Zheng Xinyan's heart trembled violently when he heard it, and he was sweating from fear.
"Don't don't don't, I also know one or two small formations like this. You don't need to change them. If you want to learn, I will teach you. This is not the secret method of our Mingtang sect, it is a little thing I learned in the Jianghu later. After my improvement, the effect is no worse than the sound insulation technique of our sect." Seeing that Li Qingyun really wanted to cut off his supply of elixir, Zheng Xinyan's legs were frightened, and he hurriedly offered compensation conditions without Li Qingyun's threats lure.
Thanks: Support Nader Yueqia Zhao Yuexi Bozhan and others for their rewards.I'm missing something today, so I'll make up for it when I get a chance.
