Chapter 82

His eyes turned red.

He once doubted whether he was adopted?

Could Wan Ping'an be He Great Qing's illegitimate son?

The next morning.

Wan Ping'an handed the watermelon-selling job to Xu Damao; it was almost all sold, not much left.

He arrived at the six-acre field.

In the rice field, a piece of golden, mature rice ears could be harvested.

If mature rice isn't harvested in time, the grains might fall to the ground, making them hard to recover, which would definitely affect the yield.

Woof!

As soon as Wan Ping'an arrived, he walked to the edge of the rice field.

Da Hei was unwilling.

It felt neglected and ignored.

It came to Wan Ping'an's side, rubbing its dog head against his pants, its tail wagging like a windmill.

"Haha, Da Hei, how could I forget you?"

"Come, I brought you meat bones."

"Eat well!"

Wan Ping'an took them out of his pocket.

Eating rabbit meat last night, he deliberately left some meat on the bones to reward the hardworking Da Hei.

Da Hei's dog eyes shone.

Meat bones were its favorite!

Wan Ping'an continued to check the rice.

"With so much rice and only the three of us, it's hard to harvest quickly. If we can't harvest in time, there might be losses."

"Old Cai, go find some temporary workers."

"We must harvest as soon as possible!"

Wan Ping'an instructed Cai Quanwu.

For some time now, Cai Quanwu's work had been quite reliable, so Wan Ping'an decided to promote him.

"No problem, how many people should I find?"

Cai Quanwu asked for instructions.

"You decide!"

"Don't be afraid of spending money, try to complete the harvest to avoid yield losses."

Wan Ping'an delegated power to Cai Quanwu.

He walked to the edge of the rice field and carefully checked the mature rice.

He broke off a rice ear and manually peeled out the rice grains.

Every grain was full!

Every grain was crystal clear!

It was definitely tribute-level!

The planting technology provided by the farming system was too powerful!

"Ping'an, it's easy to find people to harvest the rice, but there's one thing you must be mentally prepared for."

"The rice you grew has a super-high yield, far exceeding current ordinary rice varieties. This secret can't be kept and will definitely be leaked."

"By then, it might attract the greed of some people. You must prepare in advance."

Cai Quanwu reminded Wan Ping'an.

Some greedy people, seeing that others have good things and they don't, will try every means to snatch others' good things.

People with good character will buy!

People with poor character, reluctant to spend real money to buy, will use all kinds of low-down methods, killing and arson without hesitation!

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Many people, many mouths.

Even if he issued a gag order, it would be useless!

With so much rice, just the three of them couldn't harvest it.

"Old Man Han, Old Cai."

Wan Ping'an called the two over and gave each of them five yuan, the salary he had promised them.

He didn't pay extra.

Nor did he pay a bonus.

But both were very happy.

No bonus, but both had benefits.

Whether it was the tomatoes, pumpkins, or watermelons Wan Ping'an grew, they were the first to eat them, and there was no limit.

As long as they didn't take them out and didn't waste them, they could eat as much as they wanted!

This kind of benefit was much better than a bonus. Even if others doubled, tripled, or even increased their salary tenfold, they wouldn't be able to poach them.

After lunch.

Cai Quanwu went to find temporary workers to start harvesting the rice tomorrow.

Afternoon.

Wan Ping'an returned to the Sihe Academy.

He had just arrived at the front courtyard when he heard Jia Zhang's shrill voice.

"You're talking nonsense. Let me tell you, it was my son Dongxu who dumped her. Our family didn't take a fancy to that stinking bitch Su Hong at all."

"She's as thin as a bamboo pole, doesn't look like she can give birth to sons at all, our family didn't take a fancy to her."

"Like her, I wouldn't want her even if she were given for free."

Jia Zhang was spraying spit everywhere as she spoke.

Wan Ping'an laughed.

Jia Zhang was truly shameless. Who didn't take a fancy to whom?

In the academy, who didn't understand?

Jia Zhang was talking when she noticed something wrong. Why were the people who had been staring at her looking in another direction?

She turned her head and looked in the direction everyone was looking.

Wan Ping'an had returned.

Carrying a chicken in his left hand and some vegetables in his right.

"That little beast, he's going to eat meat again!"

"He eats meat every day, why doesn't he choke to death?"

Jia Zhang swallowed her saliva with a gulp.

Then her old face turned red. Why did she say that out loud?

Several people were looking at her with strange expressions.

Jia Zhang couldn't face anyone, turned, and ran home. A burst of laughter came from behind her, making her face burn, and she ran even faster.

"Haha, look at Jia Zhang, too embarrassing!"

"To deal with Jia Zhang, it has to be Wan Ping'an. As soon as she sees Wan Ping'an, she's like a mouse seeing a cat, she doesn't even dare to speak loudly."

"She's also a coward, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Seeing Jia Zhang run away.

Everyone pointed and laughed.

Wan Ping'an didn't care and went straight home.

He cleaned the fat chicken he brought back, cut it into pieces, started the pot, heated the oil, and put the chicken in. Instantly, a thick aroma of meat exploded!

Daily poisoning!

Daily tempting the beasts!

Next door.

Xu Damao's house.

"Sigh, Wan Ping'an is eating meat again. Smelling the fragrance, it should be a chicken. When can I eat meat every day?"

Xu Damao was very envious.

Wan Ping'an could eat meat until he was full, having the ability to eat meat as a meal...

And him?

He could only eat meat occasionally to improve his diet.

He was too envious of Wan Ping'an.

Liu Haizhong came back from work and smelled the meat fragrance as soon as he arrived at the backyard.

"Sigh, eating meat again."

"This little beast, I don't know why he doesn't send me some, but he's so powerful, the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai can't afford to provoke him."

"Forget it, can't afford to provoke him!"

"Eat scrambled eggs at home tonight, sigh, how can scrambled eggs compare to the fragrance of meat?"

Liu Haizhong sighed and glanced in the direction of Wan Ping'an's house. He wanted to take advantage of Wan Ping'an but was afraid of being dealt with by him.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao weren't the first victims.

The first victim was the Deaf Old Lady, her old face pressed against the window, trying hard to look in the direction of Wan Ping'an's house, but she couldn't see anything.

She and Wan Ping'an were neighbors, the houses were side-by-side, without going out, how could she see Wan Ping'an's house?

"Old Lady, time to eat!"

The First Aunt pushed the door open and brought dinner to the Deaf Old Lady.

Cornmeal buns.

Plus a plate of stir-fried potato shreds.

And a small dish of pickles, as well as a bowl of cornmeal porridge.

In the fifties, this was a pretty good dinner. In most cases, there was no meat to eat, after all, supplies were very limited at the time.

Before Wan Ping'an rose.

The Deaf Old Lady had always been quite satisfied; most families in the academy couldn't eat such a dinner.

But compared to Wan Ping'an.

The Deaf Old Lady was dissatisfied. Wan Ping'an ate meat every meal, she wanted to eat meat too!

"No meat?"

The Deaf Old Lady frowned tightly.

"Old Lady, I'll go buy some meat tomorrow and boil meat porridge for you to drink!"

The First Aunt sighed.

Wan Ping'an ate meat every day.

She smelled the meat fragrance every day, she wanted to eat meat too, but meat wasn't something you could eat just because you wanted to; you had to have money to buy it, and there had to be enough supply!

"No, I don't want to eat meat porridge, I want to eat stir-fried meat, stewed chicken!"

The Deaf Old Lady shook her head.

Meat porridge was just a big pot of porridge with a little bit of meat scraps in it.

It was called meat porridge, but it was actually just porridge with a meat flavor.

When drinking the porridge, you couldn't see the meat at all, occasionally eating a small piece of meat scrap could make you happy for half a day.

"Old Lady, I want to eat stir-fried meat too, I want to eat stewed chicken too, but where is the money to buy it?"

The First Aunt sighed.

After finally pacifying the Deaf Old Lady, the First Aunt felt very tired.

When she returned home, her face didn't look good.

"What happened?"

Yi Zhonghai saw the First Aunt's expression was wrong.

"The Old Lady wants to eat meat."

"I said I'd boil meat porridge for her, but she complained there was no meat in the porridge, she wants to eat stir-fried meat, she wants to eat stewed chicken!"

The First Aunt didn't hide it.

"It must be Wan Ping'an!"

Yi Zhonghai guessed it.

He smelled the meat fragrance even in the middle courtyard.

"Sigh, Wan Ping'an is my nemesis. As long as he's here, I won't have a good life."

"Must find a way to drive him out."

"If he really can't be driven away..."

A strong murderous intent flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

Wan Ping'an had messed up his life, even losing his position as the First Master. His hatred for Wan Ping'an could only be described as irreconcilable!

The Jia family.

Across the middle courtyard from Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai smelled the fragrance, and of course, the Jia family smelled it too.

Jia Zhang slapped her chopsticks on the table and threw the bun on the table.

"Jia Gen, you're too useless."

"Look at Wan Ping'an, eating big fish and meat every meal, able to eat meat until he's full!"

"Look at our family, what are we eating?"

"Buns, pickles, steamed pumpkin, and it's not Wan Ping'an's pumpkin, it's bought at the vegetable market, it tastes terrible!"

Jia Zhang complained.

Compared to Wan Ping'an, Jia Gen was too useless.

Since marrying him, Jia Zhang had always disliked him, thinking it was a marriage down, marrying a useless man, and controlling him everywhere.

Jia Dongxu lowered his head, eating silently.

Fearing that if he made a sound, he would draw the fire to himself.

The He family.

The He family of three was eating.

Their family ate a bit better, after all, He Great Qing was a chef, there was a plate of braised pork, and a plate of stir-fried mushrooms, both brought back by him.

"Chicken meat is so fragrant!"

"Wan Ping'an, this little beast, how can his cooking be so good?"

He Yuzhu was genuinely envious.

If his cooking skills were at Wan Ping'an's level, no, even if they were just at the same level as Wan Ping'an, he could be a chef in a restaurant.

And he could bring back good food every day!

"Look at you, learning cooking from me since you were young, and you're still not as good as Wan Ping'an!"

"Starting tomorrow, add another hour of practice!"

He Great Qing announced.

He Yuzhu was about to cry, add another hour of practice time?

Do you want to tire him to death?

The next morning.

Wan Ping'an set off for the six-acre field, today they were harvesting rice.

When he arrived, Cai Quanwu was ready with six temporary workers, waiting for his order.

Wan Ping'an nodded, very satisfied.

From the outside, the temporary workers Cai Quanwu hired all looked honest and reliable, and should be a group of reliable people.

"Start work, harvest the rice!"

Wan Ping'an gave the order.

Sickles waved, blade light flashed!

The rice fell in patches!
