Chapter 736: Farming

"Everyone, look, not a single drop of water has fallen in." In the pattering rain, Miss Luo Quan raised her phone to check the results of these few days for the fans.

"Truly amazing. One person can build such a beautiful and rainproof house. It's truly amazing."

"Did you record all the video material? When it's edited and released, it will easily get millions of views."

"Millions? You look down on Luo Bao too much. Just on Bilibili, the data is more than that."

"Listen, it seems like thunder."

………………

Originally, the barrage was still discussing the video playback, but the sudden thunder attracted everyone's attention.

During this period, Yuzhou was sunny, the climate was very dry, and wind was rarely seen, let alone rain, especially this kind of thundering rain.

Speaking of which, Miss Luo Quan hadn't seen the rain in Yuzhou for a long time.

After the thunder sounded, she sat by the window, quietly looking outside.

Amidst the wild roaring thunder, boundless rain and dew fell rapidly, pouring onto the hard earth.

Miss Luo Quan held her phone, quietly listening to the raindrops hitting the roof of the bamboo house, making a light sound like rain hitting banana leaves.

At first, the rain wasn't particularly heavy. The raindrops were just like pearls, rolling down from the eaves one by one, hitting the ground with a light "pop," quite rhythmic.

But before long, with the rolling thunder becoming more and more intense, the heavy rain finally arrived.

In an instant, the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves was endless.

Water splashed everywhere, but soon gathered under the action of gravity. Finally, the raindrops turned into water lines, weaving a pearl curtain under the eaves in front of the window.

Soon, a white lightning bolt tore through the sky, lighting up the entire sky.

The thunder appeared suddenly in a silent place, but then it was quickly drowned out by the continuous sound of rain.

This continued for twenty minutes.

"It seems to be a passing rain." Miss Luo Quan heard the thunder moving away and the rain sound getting smaller, and reached a conclusion.

Passing rain comes fast and goes fast, but it is the most precious weather in the sweltering summer, easing the steaming heat between heaven and earth, and also bringing good scenery that is not common.

"The water line that just fell from the eaves is so beautiful, it's just like returning to nature."

"It reminds me of when I returned to the countryside as a child, the same comfort, filled with inexplicable happiness in my heart."

"Without the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, only the leisurely nature remains. This is probably the charm of pastoral life."

"Can't wait to see Miss Luo Quan farming, want to see her harvest cart after cart of grain."

…………

Amidst the fans' discussion, Miss Luo Quan stepped on flip-flops and pushed open the door.

"The rain has stopped, and the air is much fresher than before." Miss Luo Quan stretched her slender waist to her heart's content, making a group of fans in the barrage send drooling and envious expressions.

Miss Luo Quan's body, no matter what clothes she wore, was just so exquisite.

The wide T-shirt and fluffy skirt couldn't cover her increasingly enchanting figure.

Just as the autumn wind only brings the harvest of fruits, the power of time applied to Miss Luo Quan, who is in her early twenties, can only make her gradually move towards maturity.

This maturity is a change from a girl to a woman.

Just like a boy becoming a man who stands upright, sometimes it only takes one sentence, one sudden realization.

And a girl becoming a woman, sometimes it only takes waiting for time to ripen, and everything about her will complete the transformation unknowingly.

In 2019, Miss Luo Quan, who turned 21, should have completed this transformation.

Compared to the green and simple appearance three years ago, now she only needs one look to make people infatuated.

There is still clarity in her eyes, but compared to her other parts, her eyes have become insignificant.

"Luo Bao stretching is also really beautiful, so beautiful."

"Just like a peony bud emerging from a seed, and like a twisting enchanting snake, beautiful and dangerous, emitting a charming sin, I really want to hold her into my arms and crush her into my heart."

"Full of rainbow farts, are you taking the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"Continue talking, Luo Bao likes everyone to praise her most."

"This literary talent, if you go to write a novel, how good it would be."

"I'm going to write it now. The heroine is Luo Bao, and I am the hero."

"I see you are ugly and thinking beautifully!"

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

………………

There are many fans, and there are many people with whimsical ideas.

But this was something Miss Luo Quan didn't expect, that a small action could cause such a big response.

Is her charm already so great now? Just stretching caused the fans to almost go into heat?

It's a pity there is no mirror around; otherwise, she would really have to take a good look.

"It's best to do farm work after rain, but the bamboo house was completed today, so let's rest for the remaining half of the day. I'll show you my cooking skills in a while."

Just as Miss Luo Quan was talking to the fans, the vegetable delivery she ordered when it was raining was already on the way.

The stove had already been repaired, so there was no need to eat self-heating rice.

Fortunately, she had foresight and chopped a lot of firewood yesterday and piled it in the kitchen; otherwise, if she went to chop it after it rained now, the difficulty of bringing it back and whether it could be lit would be much higher.

In the kitchen, besides two earthen stoves, there were two large iron pots with a diameter of nearly eighty centimeters on them, and there were several newly bought steamers on the side.

Actually, she could do all these herself, but pastoral life is not a primitive diary. There is no need to do everything yourself. You can just buy these furniture ready-made.

Before cooking, you must first prepare a pot of boiling water.

Although the mountain spring on the side had no pollution, it still had to be disinfected at high temperature before it could be used with confidence.

Disinfect now, and then use it to cook rice and dishes later.

Half an hour later, Miss Luo Quan's delivery arrived.

It was all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fresh meat, mainly tomatoes, loofah, potatoes, green peppers, and the fresh meat was a piece of half-catty pork.

There was no refrigerator in the mountains, so you couldn't get too much meat. It had to be completely eliminated in at most two meals.

Besides these, a large wooden barrel one meter high was also transported down from the delivery truck, and all the goods were placed here, which Miss Luo Quan transported in with a tricycle.

"Luo Bao, what is this large wooden barrel for?"

"Do you still need to ask? It's obviously a bath barrel."

"Okay, then I have to find something to prepare well."

"Brother, what are you looking for?"

"Flower petals, don't beauties in ancient movies need this stuff when taking a bath in a wooden barrel?"

"Speaking of which, can you live stream it? Mainly want to see the flower petals."

"Is that what you want to see? I'm too embarrassed to point it out."

………………

Miss Luo Quan was indeed using this large wooden barrel for bathing.

She hadn't taken a bath for four days, and it was summer. She could be said to be extremely itchy now.

For so many years, she hadn't been this sloppy.

"Let's make stir-fried potato shreds and shredded pork with green peppers tonight. This is the most famous soy product in Yuzhou." Miss Luo Quan put away the sickle and previewed what she was going to eat tonight.

"What is bean curd? Is it the name of tofu brain in Yuzhou?"

"Bean curd is not tofu brain. The production time of the former is longer, and the taste is harder.

The most critical point is the sweet and salty dispute of bean curd, because no one in Yuzhou eats sweet bean curd."

"Speaking of this, I have to mention it. Except for salty tofu brain, the others are all heretics."

"Fart, sweet is justice!"

"Next, please invite both players to enter."

"Fight, fight!"

………………

Just by saying a bean curd related to tofu brain, everyone's attention was focused on the debate of whether salty or sweet is better.

Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth, wanting to say that both were quite delicious to smooth things over.

However, seeing everyone arguing so vigorously, she was too lazy to come out and preside over justice.

Let them argue. On the Internet, it's too hard to convince the other party.

As for eating bean curd, Miss Luo Quan had been preparing since noon.

Still the omnipotent delivery, she directly bought a large handful of soybeans that had just been picked.

Compared to those already shelled, this one was slightly cheaper, and it was more reassuring to shell it yourself, although it was slightly troublesome.

After the weeds were pulled out, tomorrow's work was to turn the soil.

In the afternoon, Miss Luo Quan sat on the steps of the bamboo house, carefully shelling soybeans.

Because she wanted to eat it herself this time, not for the video, so after shelling and soaking for a few hours, Miss Luo Quan used a soy milk machine to crush the beans.

Next was the process of filtering soy milk. Miss Luo Quan used the most traditional method, hanging a white cloth with a bamboo cross, putting the crushed bean juice inside, and shaking it constantly, shaking the fans until their heads were a bit dizzy.

Cooking is like this, the process is always boring, and if it's meat dishes, it will be full of blood and violence.

Only after the dish is out of the pot and stuffed into the mouth can you taste its beauty.

If you watch from the beginning, it's easy to make people feel bored.

Fortunately, the one cooking is Miss Luo Quan. Just looking at her makes people feel incomparably satisfied.

"I don't know why, looking at Miss Luo Quan's face, I can't help but want to call her Mom."

"What kind of filial son is this?"

"No way, our Luo Bao has a virtuous wife and good mother attribute, it's simply too perfect."

"Virtuous wife is often seen, good mother?"

"Didn't you see her taking care of Luo Xi? I think it's about the same."

"Indeed, she was also taking care of her with shit and urine these past few days."

"Haha, why does it sound so funny?"

…………

Miss Luo Quan pushed the bean curd, the barrage chatted, discussing Miss Luo Quan's various attributes.

Compared to the many "little princesses" now, Miss Luo Quan seems to be the ultimate form of the other half in many boys' hearts.

Not pretentious, gentle and independent, and can arrange all housework properly. And she's so rich, yet still frugal.

If only she wasn't so beautiful, not so excellent, maybe the boys would still have a chance to chase her.

Although the hope is still not great, now they can only treat her as a wife in their imagination.

Between talks, the bean curd was pushed.

There were no other dishes tonight, just eating bean curd. The dipping sauce was Miss Luo Quan's favorite red oil chili. In the wilderness without air conditioning and fans, eating with this dipping sauce was simply like steaming in a sauna. After eating, her whole body was already drenched in hot sweat.

After the main meal, Miss Luo Quan drank a large mouthful of soy milk and couldn't help but let out a small burp: "Gurgle~~ That's it for tonight. I'll dig soil when I wake up tomorrow."

After speaking, she didn't wait for the fans to tease her burping appearance and turned off the live stream directly.

The next day when she woke up, an expression pack of her burping appeared on the Internet.

Since the "Abyssal Giant Mouth," she had finally found another photo that destroyed her goddess image.

However, she was doing physical labor every day now, and she had material every day. She really didn't care about burping. If she was made into an expression pack, let it be. Could she still send a lawyer's letter or what?

It seemed that the sun also knew that Miss Luo Quan was going to dig soil today, feeling sorry for her. The sunlight was far less intense than the previous few days, and a refreshing wind drifted in the air.

It looked like it was going to rain again. I hope I can finish digging all the soil before it rains.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan was thinking of doing a big job, but after smashing for less than five minutes, she seemed to have dug into a stone with one hoe, which numbed her.

"What is it?" Miss Luo Quan pulled out the hoe, rubbed her hands, and squatted down to observe.

"Won't you dig up the family heirloom buried in the soil by the ancestors?"

The barrage said half-jokingly.

"How is that possible? My family has been poor peasants for generations. There hasn't been a landlord in the past two hundred years." Miss Luo Quan denied it decisively.

The gap was too small to see what was below. Miss Luo Quan could only raise the hoe and continue digging, but this time she was much more careful to avoid damaging the things below.

After five or six times, a hole was dug out by Miss Luo Quan on the ground.

A sharp object, like a corner of a box, was exposed.

"Hehe, it seems it really is a family heirloom left by the ancestors." Miss Luo Quan grinned, estimated the approximate size of the box, and accelerated the speed of excavation.

Ten minutes later, a wooden box with a diameter of half a meter was pulled out of the soil by Miss Luo Quan.

This box had been buried in the soil for I don't know how many years, but the shape was still intact.

The box was dark reddish-brown, and the patterns had no regularity, very messy, but it smelled of a sweet fragrance.

There was a scratch on the corner of the top left of the box, which was dug out by Miss Luo Quan with a hoe just now.

She had such great strength, although it was buffered by the soil, it only left a not particularly deep mark on the box, showing how good its hardness was.

Generally speaking, the harder the wood, the greater the density, and the higher the value might be.

In front of her, Miss Luo Quan weighed it, and it was at least seventy or eighty catties. I don't know if it was originally so heavy or if something big was packed inside.

"This wood looks a bit like the yellow rosewood of Haizhou Island?"

"Holy crap, you can tell even with so much soil?"

"Based on Miss Luo Quan's description, combined with the appearance, it's not hard to guess. However, whether it is or not, it still needs to be cleaned before it can be determined by close observation."

"If it's really Haizhou Island yellow rosewood, how much is it worth?"

"The current market price of Haizhou Island yellow rosewood is from ten thousand to tens of thousands per kilogram, depending on the age. The older it is, the more expensive it is.

If this is made of century-old yellow rosewood, it's at least five or six hundred thousand."

"I don't know if I've been watching Miss Luo Quan's live stream for too long, but I feel like five or six hundred thousand is just so-so."
