Chapter 723: Reached Expectations

Early the next morning, after getting dressed, Wang An dashed straight into the toilet.

It must be said that waking up early in the morning, whether it was the urge to defecate or urinate, it was quite intense.

After a violent excretion, Wang An felt completely refreshed.

After coming out of the toilet, Wang An went to the small grove where the ginseng was planted.

Except for the sixth-grade leaf and fifth-grade leaf, which were feared to have accidents and thus intended to be made into dried ginseng for preservation, the fourth-grade leaf and below were all planted by Wang Dazhu in this small grove.

In fact, the best way to preserve ginseng is to replant it in the soil, because only in this way can the medicinal properties of the ginseng be fully retained without loss.

If made into dried ginseng, not only is preservation very troublesome, but the loss of medicinal properties is also inevitable.

Of course, theoretically speaking, dried ginseng has no shelf life, meaning as long as it is well preserved, it will never lose its medicinal power.

In fact, wild ginseng is not that delicate; on the contrary, it is very hardy. One can imagine that if wild ginseng didn't have a very tenacious vitality, it wouldn't be able to survive in such harsh environments in the wild.

After a few days, there was no change in the ginseng planted in the soil. Wang An took a look and turned back to the house. After washing and eating breakfast, Wang Dazhu and his wife, Wang Li, and Shen Wei all came over.

After attaching the rice transplanters to both walking tractors, the group of 7 set off to transplant the rice seedlings.

Wang Daliang drove a walking tractor with Yao Ping sitting beside him, and Wang Dazhu also drove a walking tractor with Liu Guilan sitting beside him.

As for Wang Li and Shen Wei, they sat in Wang An's sidecar.

Just because Wang An was going to the fields in the sidecar, he was lectured by Liu Guilan.

Just as Wang An kicked the sidecar to life, intending to warm up the engine, Liu Guilan subconsciously said: "Are you going to ride a motorcycle to the fields?"

Wang An replied casually:

"Yeah, this thing breaks easily if it's not ridden often."

Liu Guilan said with great displeasure: "Then you're going to the fields to transplant rice, why are you showing off with a motorcycle?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a grin:

"Mother, does that mean you want the three of us to walk there?"

Liu Guilan said with annoyance:

"Then just stand on the rice transplanter and make do for a while. Besides, our family has ten large livestock; which one can't pull a cart? Wouldn't hitching a cart work too?"

Wang An still said with a smile: "I'm telling you, Mother, since we got this motorcycle home, we have to ride it every day, otherwise what's the use of it? Am I right? Besides, when winter comes, this thing will be useless."

Liu Guilan didn't listen to Wang An's logic at all and said with great annoyance:

"What? Doesn't that thing burn oil? Doesn't oil cost money?"

Wang An shook his head and said very smugly: "It doesn't cost money, what money? Whenever there's no oil, I'll go ask my eldest sister and Wu Dong for it. Whoever dares not give it to me, I'll pester them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan instantly shut up.

Perhaps Liu Guilan suddenly realized that oil, for her eldest son, was simply not an issue at all.

After thinking, Liu Guilan said: "Then how are you so shameless to ask others for it?"

Wang An smiled naturally: "What's there to be ashamed of? Asking them for things is their honor; they are all wishing I would ask them for something."

Although Wang An said this in a joking way, it must be admitted that it was a fact. Not to mention anything else, just the favor of the gold alone was not something they could repay in a short time.

So, as soon as Wang An's words came out, neither Wang Dazhu and his wife, nor Wang Daliang and his wife, nor Wang Li and Shen Wei showed any expression of doubt.

Of course, Shen Wei didn't doubt it just because she believed in Wang An; she didn't know about other things.

Looking at his mother wanting to say something but unable to organize her words, Wang An said with a chuckle:

"When I'm free, I'll teach my father how to ride this thing, and then let my father take you around everywhere. Think about it, wouldn't that be super exciting?"

It must be said that Wang An's words instantly hit Liu Guilan's soft spot.

Liu Guilan said with a face full of joy:

"I want to go see your eldest uncle; can I go by riding this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An was stunned for a moment. The main thing was that theoretically, there was no problem with this thing, but motorcycles, after riding for a long time, make your butt hurt. Fortunately, it wasn't his butt that would hurt.

Consequently, Wang An smiled: "That's a must."

It was clear that Liu Guilan was full of anticipation about being able to go see her brother.

After the group arrived at the paddy field, they cut the small seedlings in the seedling field into strips along with the mud, shoveled them onto the tray of the rice transplanter, and Wang An started the test drive with the walking tractor.

It wasn't until a tray of rice seedlings was all transplanted into the mud and water that everyone began to check them one by one.

Of course, Wang An was also holding a trace of anxiety.

After all, the rice transplanter at this time was different from the one in later generations, and the rice transplanter modified by Wang An could only be said to be theoretically very feasible.

But theory is theory; only if it works in practice is it truly working.

Fortunately, after everyone checked, they all had faces full of joy, and there was no behavior of replanting seedlings.

This was enough to prove that the modification of the rice transplanter was truly successful.

And for Wang An, the result reached his expectations, and his heart could finally be completely put at ease.

Second Aunt Yao Ping praised with a smile: "Xiao An really knows everything. Even the rice transplanter that so many people couldn't fix, he fixed it. From now on, when we plant rice, we finally don't have to bend over in the mud for days."

Wang Daliang also said with a smile: "I knew that only our Xiao An could figure out this rice transplanter; others are useless, hahaha... Now planting rice will be worry-free."

It must be admitted that Wang An's modification of the rice transplanter was almost a generation ahead of the rice transplanter industry.

Because according to normal development, until the 90s, this kind of mechanical rice transplanter was still not very perfect.

Simply put, the vast majority of people still didn't recognize this thing very much.

Wang An smiled and said: "This matter could succeed thanks to my father. If it weren't for my father's timely intervention, this rice transplanter would have been tough to use today."

Wang An directly transferred the credit to Wang Dazhu, which made Wang Dazhu look very happy.

He almost had a snot bubble pop out from being so happy.

And although Liu Guilan was also very happy, she didn't say anything. The main thing was that Liu Guilan had questioned Wang An repeatedly before, and now she felt a bit sorry for her eldest son.

Of course, Wang An didn't care about these things; what Wang An cared about was that as long as he didn't have to bend over and stick his butt out to transplant rice, it was fine.
