Chapter 176 - 176 Watering the Seedlings with Spiritual Spring Water



Inside, Eldest Uncle was already looking back and forth to see if there was enough sunlight and water.

He also wanted to get rid of the weeds in the rice field!

He also wanted to pick up the longevity snails in the field.

Longevity snails fed on the seedlings in the field.

Gu Qingming was speechless.

She had clearly said that she was the one who would plant this field, but in the end, Eldest Uncle was still helping her.

It had been so long, but she had never even gotten off the ground.

She thought of the time when she wanted to go to the fields after the greenhouse was built.

However, just as she finished rolling up her pants and revealed her fair and tender calves, Eldest Aunt immediately said, “Mingming, with your fair and tender legs, those leeches and leeches will probably drill into your legs. Your legs are tender and easier to bite!”

Not to mention getting off the ground, just the sound of it made Gu Qingming’s scalp tingle. She no longer dared to put down her raised foot.

At the moment, she really could not overcome that psychological barrier.

She could not be blamed. She had lived a good and prosperous life since she was young. There were servants, nannies, and bodyguards serving her at home. Furthermore, she had heard that the farmland in the countryside was filled with feces and urine as fertilizers. It was very dirty. Coupled with her insect-resistant nature, all these factors added up to prevent her from going to the fields.

Therefore, instead of saying that this field was for her to plant, it was better to say that Eldest Uncle and the others were still managing it.

She was just a nominal official.

“Mingming.” Eldest Uncle saw Gu Qingming and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Uncle, I’m just here to see these rice seedlings!” Gu Qingming said.

Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “Your grandmother said that you once regarded them as chives.”

Gu Qingming was speechless.

He was still bringing this up!

Eldest Uncle didn’t seem to notice his niece’s expression and continued, “Aiya, this is nothing. Most children in the big city can’t differentiate between chives and seedlings. It’s the same for the grandson of Shi Chunlin.”

Gu Qingming was speechless. Actually, as long as she had seen it before, she could still tell.

However, children in big cities had only seen these things in books. Many people had not even read the books carefully, so they naturally could not tell the difference.

After Gu Qingming sized up the rice seedlings, she saw that the water in the field almost occupied half of the seedlings’ height.

She asked, “Eldest Uncle, does the field need so much water?”

Eldest Uncle said, “That’s right. Now that the seedlings are growing and the sun is hot every day, they need a lot of water and nutrients. At this time, they must not dry up. Once they dry up, it will affect the production.”

There was so much water, and there was no liquidity. Her uncle was here, so her spiritual spring water could not be added now.

Eldest Uncle walked around the field and picked up all the snails and eggs on the seedlings.

Gu Qingming looked at it and saw that it was almost half a bucket.

She said in surprise, “There are so many snails? They can be reared and fried. However, these snails seem to be a little big and round?”

Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “Most of them are longevity snails that eat seedlings. The river snails only make up a small portion. Longevity snails can’t be eaten. There are many parasites that can easily cause illnesses.”

At this point, he glanced at the green seedlings and seemed to be immersed in his memories. He continued, “Although people can’t eat longevity snails now, many people would pick up the longevity nnails and stir-fry them to eat when we were young. At that time, people couldn’t eat meat frequently, This thing is really fragrant when stir-fried with chives.”

People in the past didn’t know that longevity snails couldn’t be eaten.

When they wanted to add more dishes to their meals, they would go to the pond and catch a few big longevity snails. They would place them in the vat and raise them for a day or two. They would then remove the shells and the tails, cut the meat into pieces and stir-fry them with ginger, garlic, and chili. The children loved to eat them.

As for whether they would get sick after eating this, no one thought about it.

Things were different now.

If one wanted to eat meat, there would be meat immediately.

When they went to a banquet, vegetarian dishes became the most popular dish. They didn’t even touch the meat dishes.

In the past, when they had a banquet, many people would prepare a plastic bag or a bowl. When the meat dishes were served, they were immediately snatched up and placed in a bag or bowl.

Unless they were extremely poor and could not afford meat at all, not many people would want to eat longevity snails.

It was fine if one didn’t fall sick after eating it, but what if she fell sick? Not only would they be blamed, but they would also suffer, especially when the child was sick. The adults were the most anxious.

“Although you can’t eat longevity snails, you can eat river snails. If you want to eat river snails, I’ll go to the pond and get some for you.” Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “It’s been so long. It’s rare for you to want to eat something. I remember that you were very picky about food in the past.”

Gu Qingming covered her mouth and smiled. “Second Aunt’s food is too delicious. It suits my taste.”

The main thing was that after she got pregnant, she was no longer picky about food. She felt that she could eat anything she wanted.

“Look, I haven’t been here for a month. I’ve already grown round. I’ve gained at least ten pounds!” Gu Qingming lowered her head and looked at her body. She patted her cheek and continued, “My face has become chubby. If I continue to gain weight, I’ll probably really become a fatty.”

“Fatty is good. Being fat is cute!” Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “You would be so chubby and cute.”

Gu Qingming said firmly, “No matter how cute being fat is, I don’t want to become fat!”

It was a woman’s nature to love beauty. If she gained weight, she would not have any sense of beauty.

Eldest Uncle looked at the snails in the bucket and said with a smile, “I’m done with the work here. You should go back early too. It’s too late and too hot. Don’t get yourself tanned. If you get tanned, you’ll look ugly.”

Gu Qingming wheedled, “Eldest Uncle!”

“Haha, alright, I won’t say anymore. Just go back early!” Eldest Uncle laughed and instructed.

“Okay, I will.”

When Eldest Uncle left, he saw that he had walked a little far.

Gu Qingming stretched out her right index finger. With a thought, the entire greenhouse was covered in a drizzle, but a moment later, it disappeared again, as if the scene just now was a blur.

...

Gu Qingming asked, “Little Kong, the spiritual spring water at this level should be enough, right?”

“That’s enough. Don’t fill it up all at once. Otherwise, it will grow too quickly. With your vague agricultural knowledge, you might not be able to explain it clearly,” Kong Xingfan said. “Now, it will grow slowly. The seedlings in the greenhouse will grow better than the ones outside. Then, you can attribute the effects to the greenhouse.

Gu Qingming asked, “Do I need to water it every day?”

“No need!” Kong Xingfan shook his head and said, “Let’s try three times first. The first time is when the seedlings are growing. The second time is when the seedlings are blooming. The third time is when the rice ripens. When the time comes, let’s see what the quality of the rice will be!”

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Little Kong, you’re so familiar with the growth of rice. Do you know how to plant it?”

“No!” Kong Xingfan immediately shook his head and said, “Even if you’ve never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run?”
