Xu Jing received a total of 27 catties and 33 taels of Dendrobium officinale, [-] catties of salvia miltiorrhiza, [-] catties of wild Ganoderma lucidum, [-] catties of wild golden fruit olive, in addition to Liaogewang, Tianqi, Angelica dahurica, Angelica, Ophiopogon japonicus, Some Xu Changqing.

Under the inspection of the Watchman, Xu Jing made a good account one by one, and made an agreement with the people in the living area that he would pay the bill after selling the medicinal materials after the Chinese New Year.

Liang Chengxian, the village head of the Renyuan living area, saw that their stall was relatively large, so he came over in person, and together with a few more prestigious old people, witnessed to Xu Jing and the others.

It's not that Xu Jing has no money on hand now, but it's a bit too eye-catching to take out so much money all at once.He lives alone on one side for a year now, so maybe some bad-hearted people would come up with bad ideas?

With Qi Yunzhi by his side, Xu Jing was not afraid of them, but Xu Jing didn't want to add to the bad luck for the New Year's Eve.

Furthermore, the interests of the entire living area are tied to him in this way, and people in the living area are willing to lend a helping hand if there is anything wrong.If he farms, the people in the living area should also give pointers, and it is up to them to remind him if there is anything to pay attention to.For example, the season of spring plowing, such as fertilization, such as topping, there are some things that people who have never done farm work do not know.

Being able to collect medicinal materials is a win-win thing for many parties. Xu Jing is very happy, and the people in the Renyuan living area are also very happy.

These medicinal materials are also stored at home, and everyone is very happy if they can be sold, and they have no objection to Xu Jing's proposal.

Aunt Shuanghua and the others helped Xu Jing carry the medicinal materials home, waiting for him to process them further.Xu Jing took out candy melon seeds for everyone to eat, politely sent them out, and wished each other a happy new year.

Several aunts invited Xu Jing to their house for dinner, but Xu Jing declined.

At this time, it was approaching five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was almost setting. The whole Renyuan living area was soaked in the strong atmosphere of the New Year. From time to time, there were firecrackers, and bursts of laughter accompanied by the smell of gunpowder smoke.

From time to time, Xu Jing saw his friends or younger children take a clean small tripod to fill the sand on the sand pile next to the big sun-drying field. The sand was put on the small tripod for incense candles.On New Year's Eve, after a table of good food is ready, the living are not allowed to enjoy it for the time being, and they have to offer sacrifices to the gods and ancestors to have a good feast.

Xu Jing stood at the door and looked at the thick twilight outside. There was smoke from the kitchens of every household.

Chickens, ducks and geese are slaughtered, and the rich aroma gradually spreads, which indicates that people in Renyuan living area are having a good year.

Xu Jing took Qi Yunzhi's hand, "Brother Qi, let's go back and cook too, you help me light the fire."

Fresh fish were kept in the water tank, and Xu Jing rolled up his sleeves to catch them, slapped the fish on the head with the back of a knife, and then cut the fish open.Remove the scales, gills, and peritoneum. Except for the swim bladder, other internal organs should not be cleaned. If a fish is washed in water, the whole body will be covered with meat.

The fish needs to be sweet and sour. Put the fish on a large plate, cut ginger, minced green onion, garlic white, and dried chili, and serve it on a lively plate.

Take out the wild bird that has been boiled in water in advance, put it on the cutting board and chop it into pieces, and the wild bird can be put back into its original shape after chopping.

Send out mushrooms, send out dried bamboo shoots, cut radishes, cut sauerkraut, cut coriander, cut garlic sprouts, cut peppers... Xu Jing busily arranged one after another.

Qi Yunzhi stood aside, silently washing the dishes. He washed the dishes quickly and gracefully.The two didn't chat much, but on this night, two people standing together by candlelight looked very warm.

Sweet and sour fish, fried bird meat with mushrooms, stewed bird meat with radish, spicy shredded bird meat, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried pork belly with sauerkraut, fried pork belly with dried bamboo shoots, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, hot and sour potato shreds, cabbage meatball soup, lively and lively This dish is perfect.

Now that the weather is cold, there is no fear of spoiling the dishes.The New Year's Eve dinner has always been like this, make more, and stop cooking on the first day of the new year, or even the second day of the new year, which means that there is more than enough every year.

The home of Liang Xueyu rented by Xu Jing has a big round table, and ten dishes are placed on the round table, which is just full.

Xu Jing steamed a large pot of rice, and the freshly baked rice was fragrant, and Xu Jing and Qi Yunzhi were hungry after smelling it.

The two of them didn't need to worship their ancestors, relatives and friends, and served a good meal. The two of them started eating directly while the food was hot.

For this New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Jing spent a lot of money to buy a lot of seasonings. With sufficient seasonings, coupled with Xu Jing's good craftsmanship, the taste of the dishes surprised the two of them.

The two usually ate not badly, but this meal still aroused their greed.The two sat side by side, feasting, not to mention more satisfied.

Halfway through eating, Xu Jing suddenly remembered, jumped off the chair, dug out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, took two clean glasses, poured two sips of wine into each glass, one for himself and one for Qi Yunzhi.

"Brother Qi, let's have a toast and wish us a better life in the future." Xu Jing held Qi Yunzhi's wrist, let the wine glass in his hand touch his own lightly, and after hearing a clear sound, Xu Jing raised his head and drank the wine.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, there was a hint of bitterness and spiciness. Xu Jing couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and hurriedly put a chopstick in his mouth to suppress the wine.

Qi Yunzhi had a smile in his eyes, followed his example and poured the wine into his mouth, then calmly ate the vegetables.

Xu Jing's combat effectiveness was far inferior to Qi Yunzhi's, and he couldn't eat until after nine o'clock in the evening, so he filled a bowl of cabbage ball soup and drank it, watching Qi Yunzhi eat.

Qi Yunzhi usually didn't seem to have used his appetite, but now he ate five bowls of rice, but he was still calm and elegant.

Scrambled eggs with leeks and cabbage ball soup must be finished and there should be no leftovers.Qi Yunzhi finished his meal with cabbage ball soup, and slowly finished the whole plate of soup.

Xu Jing hugged his stomach and watched him eat, his eyes were full of surprise.

Eat a meal slowly, from eight o'clock to ten o'clock, Xu Jing and Qi Yunzhi put the dishes in the closet together.Qi Yunzhi put away the bowls and chopsticks, put them by the sink, scooped water from the tank to wash the dishes and pots.

Xu Jing didn't fight him, but just leaned against the door frame and looked at him with a smile.

Qi Yunzhi finished washing the dishes, wiped his hands with the cloth next to him, walked over, suddenly picked up Xu Jing, and carried him into the room.Xu Jing couldn't help laughing at the itchy spots next to his ribs, and fell into his arms.

Qi Yunzhi carried him into the room, lifted the quilt and let him sleep.

Xu Jing whispered: "I haven't bathed yet."

Qi Yunzhi took off his socks, let him put on his shoes, and carried the wooden bucket to scoop water from the pot and cauldron behind the cooking.

Xu Jing put on his underwear and went to take a bath. Seeing that he scooped up so much water, he was a little confused, "Wash together?"

Qi Yun was puzzled, reacted for a while, frowned and asked, "Can't we wash together?"

Xu Jing suddenly remembered the huge shadow under his crotch, and blushed to the point of bleeding, "Don't, Brother Qi, you wash it first, and I'll wash it later."

Qi Yunzhi paused for a moment when he heard the words, turned around and left without asking any more questions, "You go first."

Xu Jing mixed cold water, put on shampoo and soap, quickly washed his hair and took a bath, rinsed himself, put on his clothes and went back to bed, "Brother Qi, I'm done."

Qi Yunzhi passed him by, and was about to go into the bathroom. Seeing his hair dripping, he reached out and grabbed him, holding a towel in his big palm, and gently but with a little strength to help him wipe his hair.

Leaning against the middle of his waist, Xu Jing's entire nose is filled with his smell.Until Xu Jing's hair was wiped half dry, leaving only some moist water vapor, Qi Yun Zhifang said: "Okay." Then he went to scoop up water for a bath.

Xu Jing left his body temperature, shivered by the cold air, and rushed to bed.

After nestling on the bed for a while, Xu Jing took out two red envelopes from the bedside table, put one under his pillow, and put the other under Qi Yunzhi's pillow, then rubbed the pillows, and nestled under the quilt contentedly.

Qi Yunzhi took a shower quickly, and when he came back, Xu Jing had just laid down.Qi Yunzhi blew out the candle beside the bed, lifted the quilt outside, sat on the bed, and planned to lie down next to Xu Jing.

However, as soon as he lay down, Qi Yunzhi immediately felt something strange about the pillow. He lifted the pillow and touched down, and happened to touch the red envelope.He took it out and squeezed it suspiciously in the dark.

Feeling his movement, Xu Jing held his hand and stuffed the red envelope back under the pillow, and said with a smile, "Don't pinch it, this is a red envelope for the new year. Brother Qi, let's go to sleep."

Qi Yunzhi had no objection, and half embraced Xu Jing in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.

According to traditional customs, people have to get up early during the New Year, otherwise they will be lazy this year.Afraid that he would not be able to get up, Xu Jing insisted on setting an alarm clock on the watch horn, and sat up at six o'clock with strong willpower.

Qi Yunzhi moved much faster than him, and when he heard the bell, he was about to get up and get dressed.

Xu Jing put his arms around his waist and said in a daze, "Brother Qi, happy new year."

After being stunned for a while, Qi Yunzhi replied, "Happy New Year."

Xu Jing pushed him down on the bed with his small body, as if he was hugging a pillow, "Brother Qi, let's go back to sleep again, we don't have to do anything today, we can sleep until noon."

Years ago, Xu Jing had been running back and forth all the time, and was already exhausted.Now that he can rest, he can barely support his bones, let alone get up to do other things.

Qi Yunzhi wasn't sleepy, but seeing Xu Jing's appearance, he went to sleep with him again.

The two of them slept until past eleven o'clock at noon. After washing, Xu Jing and Qi Yunzhi reheated last night's meal, dealt with it, and went back to take a nap.

Eating, eating, sleeping and sleeping like this, it wasn't until the third day of the new year that Xu Jing got up energetically and prepared for the new year's work.

Before the sixth day of the new year, every household visits relatives and friends or rests at home, and does not start work.Xu Jing tidied up the front and back of the house, mainly resting.Sometimes he would go with Qi Yunzhi to the Sunshine Valley Farm to bask in the sun, and listen to the news of the Renyuan living area by the way.

Liang Xueyu's three sons are all back for the New Year. Xu Jing met Liang Xueyu's eldest son, who is also the landlord of his house, for the first time.

Liang Xueyu's eldest son, Liang Hongliang, is 33 years old and is already considered an older man. Her mother, Rao Jinfeng, took him to blind dates during the years and years.

Xu Jing met Liang Hongliang once in the Dayang Valley Farm. He looked gentle and tall, and he looked different from the residents of the Renyuan living area.

When Rao Jinfeng asked someone to introduce his girlfriend to him at the grain drying field, he looked helplessly at his old mother, but smiled tolerantly.

Xu Jing looked at him, guessing in his heart whether he was male or not, that's why he resisted the blind date like this.

Xu Jing is not good at talking about outsiders.On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he counted the medicinal materials at home. All the medicinal materials had been scanned by Watchman, and a little more than one-third of them could be used. Xu Jing got more than 500 points from this, and with the original 300 points, the points in his hand suddenly increased. It became more than 800.

However, this was far from enough, he needed at least [-] points to barely be able to see a doctor for Qi Yunzhi.

The soil outside hadn't thawed yet, and the cold wind was still chilly. Xu Jing didn't care so much, thinking that he might as well go into the mountains to earn some points.

His small body has no lethality, and he can't get anything if he goes into the mountain, but Qi Yunzhi is a killer in human form, and the benefits he gets from going into the mountain are far beyond what Xu Jing can compare.

Behind Mizi Peak is Hutou Peak, and beyond Hutou Peak is a stretch of primitive mountains and forests. No one in the Renyuan living area knows how deep this mountain is.

People in the Renyuan living area repeated repeated orders not to allow their children to approach Hutou Peak.According to legend, further inward from Hutou Peak, there are not only wild boars and wolves on the mountain, but also tigers and leopards, a lot of powerful beasts.It is rumored that a child entered Hutou Peak, never came out, and was taken away by wild beasts on the mountain.

Xu Jing is not afraid of these, he is just worried, and now it is the beginning of spring.The fat on the beasts on the mountain has almost disappeared after being consumed throughout the winter.In winter, everything withers, and nothing can be picked up the mountain.If he went up the mountain at this moment, would he wander around for days without gaining anything?

Thinking so, Xu Jing finally decided to go up the mountain.If you are idle at home, you can make good use of this time and earn some points back.

Xu Jing was on the mountain early in the morning, and no one in the entire Renyuan living area noticed that he was no longer at home.After spending two nights on the mountain, Xu Jing looked at the newly harvested 120 [-] points and sighed with some melancholy.

After the new year, Xu Jing is already 12 years old. In the past six months, he has quietly grown a lot taller like a bamboo shoot soaked in rain and dew. He is now over 1.3 meters tall, and the outline of his face is slightly thinner than that of a young man.

Now on the road, whoever bumps into Xu Jing will not think that he is just a child.

When he returned to the Renyuan living area on the ninth day of the new year, Xu Jing estimated the time, took the ledger and money, and sent the money for the medicinal materials door to door.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and everyone wanted to have him for lunch.There are also people who ask openly and secretly, how is the market of medicinal materials now, and where did he sell the medicinal materials?

To these tricky questions, Xu Jing just smiled and did not answer.

After clearing the bill, Xu Jing came to Liang Xueyu's house, intending to discuss with him about planting lotus root.

Xu Jing rented two acres of land from Liang Xueyu's family. He planned to use the larger field to grow angelica, and he had already bought the seeds.Angelica is a deep-rooted plant that penetrates deep into the soil. It likes to be fertile and is afraid of stagnant water. The other field of lotus root is just complementary. In the field, fish and shrimp can be dug back into zigzag deep trenches, and the dug out soil is piled into the field where angelica is planted.

If there is stagnant water in the field where the angelica is planted, it can be directly drained into the lotus root field.

In Xu Jing's previous life, he studied mulberry fishponds for a period of time. He couldn't do such things as planting mulberry and raising silkworms. However, the principle of raising fish and medicinal materials is the same, and they all implement an ecological cycle.

He thought it was a good idea, but the field was only rented, whether it can be realized or not depends on Liang Xueyu's opinion.

Liang Xueyu was a typical farmer who valued his family's fields very much. Xu Jing was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to talk to him.

When he came to Liang Xueyu's house, his eldest son Liang Hongliang came to open the door. Xu Jing was a little surprised, but quickly adjusted his expression and nodded politely, "Brother Hongliang."

"Come in quickly." Liang Hongliang greeted him, "Come to see my dad?"

"Well, I want to discuss things with Xue Yugong. Brother Hongliang, when do you go to work?"

"That's what happened in the past few days." Liang Hongliang smiled and didn't say much. He poured tea for Xu Jing and went back to the room.

Rao Jinfeng and Liang Xueyu were both there, and Xu Jing felt a little nervous when he saw that the couple looked sour. I'm afraid it's a bit precarious to talk about digging the fields at this moment.

Liang Xueyu didn't want others to see his own predicament, so he coughed and asked Xu Jing in a rough voice, "What do you want me to do, kid?"

Xu Jing pretended not to see his face, and said: "Like Yu Gong, I came to you to talk about those two fields."

"What's the matter with Tian? Don't want to rent and want to cancel the lease? Let me tell you, we have pressed our fingerprints. If you cancel the lease, I will only refund the money for eight months. Now that it is spring, you let me rent it to someone else. I couldn't find anyone for a while."

Seeing that he was angry with his neck stuck, Xu Jing hurriedly comforted him: "No, it's not about retiring the rent, I want to reform it. Don't we often grow rice and fish here? I don't think the ditches have been dug in the fields, so I want to follow You discuss it and dig a ditch to raise fish. Don't worry, I will help you restore the original state after the contract expires."

Liang Xueyu frowned, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he heard Xu Jing's reasons, he couldn't speak.

In order to earn more money, every household here will grow fish while planting rice. He used to rent fields for others to dig ditches.As for whether to restore the original state, it depends on the character of the other party. If the character is good, people will help restore it to the original state. If the character is not good, there will still be a deep groove in the field when it is returned to him.

In the past, if Liang Xueyu refused, he would refuse, but he can't do this now.For one thing, his son hasn't married a wife yet, so he has to get a good reputation before he can talk about marriage with the matchmaker.Second, Xu Jing had just collected medicinal materials in the Renyuan living area a few years ago, and most people had business dealings with him, so Liang Xueyu didn't want to offend him.

Sighing, Liang Xueyu frowned and said, "You can dig a ditch, that's fine, but you have to help me restore it to the original state. We have to write this down in black and white, so that no one will cheat when it happens."

Xu Jing nodded, "Of course it's not a problem, I'll write to you now."

While drinking tea, Xu Jing took the pen and paper from Rao Jinfeng and quickly wrote a supplementary version of the contract.

Rao Jinfeng was worried, so he took the contract back to the eldest son's room and let him read it before he came out and nodded to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing smiled, "Like Yugong, Granny Jinfeng, if there is nothing else, I will go back first? I have to hurry up and ask someone to help me dig a ditch."

"Wait." Liang Xueyu called to stop him, "There is one more thing that I didn't have time to tell you earlier."

"Ah? What's the matter? Tell me." Xu Jing stopped.

Seeing his vigilant look, Liang Xueyu raised his eyebrows and snorted disdainfully, "It's a good thing, can I still cheat you?"
