Chapter 157: Dragon Tooth Rice Re‑planted, Uncle Three Was Deeply Moved

Two days passed, life on the mountain remained bustling.

The Spirit Field reclamation was temporarily considered complete; these Spirit Fields were sufficient. Chen Chuyang checked the soaked Dragon Tooth Rice seeds, they were ready, then he began the next step: cultivating Dragon Tooth Rice seedlings. This step was simple; having done it once, he was familiar with it the second time, and he worked on it together with the two women.

Liu Yuer followed along learning the whole way; the work looked simple but was actually not simple. Chen Chuyang deliberately told them every detail. Liu Yuer had been staying on Longshe Shan for an unknown length of time; at the very least, Chen Chuyang thought it wouldn't be short. Uncle Three wouldn't quickly settle matters with her parents and pass on knowledge to her; first, it would give her something to do.

Secondly, it was also to have her do this task. Afterward, Chen Chuyang wouldn't have to personally handle everything; this aspect would be delegated to her. Liu Yuer also understood Chen Chuyang's meaning, followed beside to learn, learning actively.

Zhang Nongqian, the little girl, was also studying earnestly, remembering each step; this concerned their future survival. Learning more would do her no harm. They knew very well the value of Dragon Tooth Rice. Liu Yuer knew her status and her situation; she wanted to be a useful person, not do nothing, and could not become a good-for-nothing; she did not want to be despised.

Chen Chuyang naturally was happy to teach them; this was not a secret, but it also counted as part of planting. If the two women wanted to learn, he would tell them—not just these, but also the planting of medicinal herbs in the Spirit Field; Chen Chuyang could also teach them that, as long as they wanted to learn.

These abilities were not some secret art; after a little study, they could still be learned. As for medicinal herbs, it wasn't that easy; planting this alone would give them plenty to study for a long time, possibly a lifetime.

In three hundred and sixty trades, each trade produces its top talent.

"Remember, no step should be rushed; this step is the most important—whether the subsequent Dragon Tooth Rice grows well and can be planted normally depends on this step."

"Ensure the Spirit Field stays moist, and also maintain a certain temperature; there must be no mistake."

"Planting Dragon Tooth Rice isn't difficult; as long as you master the steps and understand a few techniques, you can grasp it."

"Have you learned this step?"

Liu Yuer nodded firmly; it wasn't difficult, she had learned it, and she also performed the operation once.

Performing it together is far more memorable than watching it a hundred times.

Letting them participate in each step naturally caused them to remember it.

"And you, little girl?"

Shang Hongxue said with a giggly smile: "Naturally I remember; I'm so smart, how could I forget?"

Smugly, she revealed a wise smile.

Chen Chuyang rubbed her head, very relieved, saying: "Excellent, my Hongxue is the best."

"Hehehe, that's for sure—I'm the best."

The little girl's butt was about to perk up.

She laughed happily, showing her teeth.

Being praised by Brother Chuyang, nothing could make her happier or more joyful than this moment.

Next, they needed to observe the cultivation status of the Dragon Tooth Rice. Chen Chuyang began explaining the details; this matter was entrusted to the three women to watch. The three women nodded seriously, taking on this arduous task.

Liu Yuer was very earnest, keeping her eyes on it.

She dared not be careless; for any situation, she had to watch, remember, and not forget to ask Chen Chuyang.

Big or small problems, she feared making a mistake; this attitude was excellent, and Chen Chuyang grew ever more appreciative of this woman—no wonder Uncle Three liked her so much, for she was truly considerate, conscientious in her work, would not perfunctorily treat you, nor claim there were other issues.

Uncle Three's judgment was still beyond reproach.

Time, seven days passed quickly.

The cultivation of Dragon Tooth Rice was completed; those seedlings had grown, the spiritual aura was rich, the spring water plentiful, and Liu Yuer and the others had been watching closely, protecting them carefully, not letting the Dragon Tooth Rice seedlings suffer any harm.

With careful care, the Dragon Tooth Rice seedlings sprouted, their growth was good; next came the following step. Chen Chuyang likewise prepared a start for them, teaching the three how to plant and how to transplant seedlings; this step was simple.

The three women were very happy and willing to do it.

Liu Yuer was the most enthusiastic, working energetically; these Spirit Fields were entrusted to the three of them.

Older Brother continued reclaiming land; during these few days, Older Brother underwent a burning of the Alchemy Furnace, and after a second strengthening, his body became strong again.

The bodies of the several women also saw considerable improvement, most notably Zhang Nongqian—her small frame filled out, she gained strength, thanks to the Dragon Tooth Rice.

Eating meat every day, eating Dragon Tooth Rice every day—this life, this treatment, not gaining flesh would be the problem.

Shang Hongxue also gained flesh; her little face became a bit round and moist, her complexion looked much better.

Chen Chuyang also sent a batch of Dragon Tooth Rice to his mother and father for them to eat at home, reminding them in a few words: the fragrance of Dragon Tooth Rice is rich; they must pay attention.

That day, Uncle Three Chen Shen returned; upon arriving at the mountain, his first action was to go find Liu Yuer.

The two were entwined together; Chen Chuyang did not disturb them—this was their private time.

After being moistened, Uncle Three's face was full of joy.

"Nephew Chuyang, thank you; these past days have troubled you."

"Being able to do things for Uncle Three is what a nephew ought to do."

"You brat."

Uncle Three handed over a storage bag, saying: "Inside are all the things you need; have a look."

Chen Chuyang, as usual, glanced at it, was satisfied, took the items, and returned the storage bag to Uncle Three.

At the same time, he gave him some Dragon Tooth Rice.

"You should keep this Dragon Tooth Rice for yourself to eat; there isn't much on the mountain. If you want to eat it, you'll have to wait a few months until the next batch of Dragon Tooth Rice has already begun planting—that will be your wife's domain."

The Spirit Field down the mountain had half planted, half remaining; take it slow, don't rush.

This is the task of Liu Yuer and the others; Chen Chuyang does not interfere, entrusting the task to them, he can safely leave it to them. The three women, familiar with the farming task, have sped up their movements considerably.

Problems also diminished; everyone had grown. Uncle Three saw this in his eyes, and was about to speak of this matter.

"You've worked hard this period, and still have to worry about them; you can rest assured entrusting it to Yuer—Yuer is still quite reliable."

He naturally knew what had happened these days, and also knew Chen Chuyang's painstaking effort; in order to let the mother and daughter feel at ease staying here, he deliberately arranged tasks for them—not many, but at least giving them something to do, so they wouldn't be utterly bored, nor have other thoughts.

All aspects were well taken care of; this point is rare and precious.

Uncle Three rose, clasped his hands in salute; Chen Chuyang hurriedly dodged.

"Uncle Three, don't do that—you are my Uncle Three; doing this makes things feel distant."

"Hahaha, you brat, what are you running from? This is the first time your Uncle Three has thanked someone else; others who want your Uncle Three to salute them, he wouldn't even glance at them."

Uncle Three Chen Shen wanted to perform another salute of thanks, but Chen Chuyang dodged again.

Then the two engaged in a contest of strength, neither willing to yield an inch.

In the end, Chen Chuyang surrendered.

Uncle, there's no need to be like this, really; if you keep doing this, I'll get angry.

Only then did the uncle refrain from insisting; he sat beside Chen Chuyang and, with deep feeling again, said, "Thank you, Chuyang."

Uncle, you can rest assured about them being on Longshe Shan; I'll take good care of them.

Uncle still believes your words. He continued: "In any case, from now on, I'll entrust them to you."

Eh?
