Chapter 15

Hong Feng really liked farming. She took care of the 100 mu of wasteland that Ye Jinxiu gave her. She raised the ridges, weeded the weeds, and divided the fields neatly.

"Big sister, have you thought about what to plant in the land?"

Plant what?

Ye Jinxiu knew a lot about farming, but there was still one thing that he did not know, "What do you think?"

Hong Feng turned her head and thought for a while, "The weather here is warm, we can plant a batch of radishes and cabbages now."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ye Jinxiu patted Hong Feng's shoulder and said with a face full of trust, "Hong Feng, our family's land will depend on you in the future."

Hong Feng puffed out her chest and blinked her eyes, "Big sister, don't worry, I will definitely plant properly!"

Hong Feng cultivated 20 mu of land. According to her, she would first plant seeds in the cultivated land, then transplant the radish and cabbages seedlings over after the other fields are cultivated.

Radish and cabbages seeds were not something rare, every family in Yeh family Village had them. Ye Jinxiu used money to ask the village head's wife to buy the seeds.

The village head's wife was very resourceful, in less than half a day, she helped Ye Jinxiu buy all the seeds that needed to be bought.

"Big sister, I can do the job of planting the seeds alone, you don't have to go."

After getting the radish and cabbages seeds, Ye Jinxiu pulled Hong Feng and wanted to plant the seeds excitedly. However, Hong Feng had different thoughts from her. Hong Feng felt that Ye Jinxiu was not born to work, and she insisted on not letting Ye Jinxiu help.

"Hong Feng, big sister knows that you are capable, but our family has a lot of land, if you do it all by yourself, you will have to work until next year."

Although Ye Jinxiu inherited her nouveau riche father's capitalist mentality, she was also a practical and efficient person.

With 20 mu of land, if Hong Feng were to work alone, she would have to work for at least a few days. If she added in the other fields that were not cultivated properly, she would have to work until next spring.

"This …"

Hong Feng was very conflicted. She had planned to take over the 100 mu of land by herself and not let anyone else interfere.

However, Ye Jinxiu's words made sense. No matter how capable she was, she only had a pair of hands. There was no way she could finish the work on a hundred mu of land within two to three days.

After thinking for a while, Hong Feng pouted and said, "Sister, let's go early and come back early."

She grabbed the seeds and the hoe and put them on her shoulder. "Sis, let's go."

Ye Jinxiu rubbed his fingers and followed her with a smile.

How does it feel to suddenly have a capable cousin?

She felt like she was a Level 3 Cripple.

He couldn't lift it with his hands, carry it with his shoulders, and couldn't even walk.

When they reached the wasteland, they were greeted by a barren land. It was completely different from before.

Not long ago, the barren fields were overgrown with weeds. At a glance, it was impossible to see the ridges of the fields.

After being taken care of by Hong Feng, every piece of land in the wasteland was clearly separated.

Ye Jinxiu had never done the work of sowing seeds before. The only farming experience that he had in his life was when he reared succulents in the dormitory. Furthermore, it was the kind that died after rearing a pot of succulents.

Hong Feng took out the seeds, and while demonstrating, she said, "Sister, I will do it once. You watch first."

Hong Feng did not believe in Ye Jinxiu.

Ye Jinxiu laughed involuntarily. The original Ye Jinxiu had lived in Yeh family village for more than 10 years. It was not to the extent that the original Ye Jinxiu did not have any experience in growing vegetables.

It was just that the original Ye Jinxiu's experience had become theoretical knowledge when it came to Ye Jinxiu. She knew how to grow vegetables, it was just that she was not very familiar with how to operate it.

"Before sowing the seeds, you have to first turn over the topmost layer of soil. Look, just like this."

Hong Feng held the hoe in her hand and moved it lightly. Along with her neat and tidy movements, a layer of soil was quickly turned over.

"Next, you have to sprinkle the seeds down. Then, you have to cover the soil that was previously turned over, just like this."

Hong Feng demonstrated once again to Ye Jinxiu. After covering the soil, she jogged to a spot not far away and caught a handful of plant ash. "Lastly, you have to sprinkle a thin layer of plant ash on the ground."

"Sister, do you understand?"

Ye Jinxiu was, after all, a highly educated top student. After listening to Hong Feng's detailed explanation, he generally understood the specific operation method of sowing seeds.

She nodded. "I understand."

Hong Feng sighed and looked conflicted. "Why don't you be responsible for sowing the seeds?"

"Sowing the seeds?"

The more Hong Feng thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was good. She stuffed the radish seeds into Ye Jinxiu's hands. "Come here."

She turned over the soil neatly and looked at Ye Jinxiu eagerly.

Ye Jinxiu understood tacitly. He caught a small handful of seeds and scattered them down.

The conflicted look on Hong Feng's face gradually disappeared. She happily covered the soil.

She was the one who turned the soil, and she was also the one who scattered the plant ash. Rounding up, it meant that she was the one who planted the soil.

Ye Jinxiu and Hong Feng sowed the seeds for an entire day. When night fell, they finally scattered all the seeds.

"Sister, please sit for a while. I'll go and water the fields."

Hong Feng picked up the paddy field and walked quickly to the pond. Ye Jinxiu hammered his stiff waist and did not move.

It was not that she did not want to move, but she was too tired to move.

After sowing the seeds for only a day, she deeply understood what it meant to 'Who knows that every grain on the plate is hard work'.

With the development of technology, more and more young people yearned for the life of a small farmhouse. They all wanted to experience a self-sufficient life, and they talked about how self-sufficiency was the life they yearned for.

Ye Jinxiu used to think so too. However, after working for a few days, she felt that the life she yearned for was called the life she yearned for because it was always just a yearning. Once it was realized, it would probably be disillusioned.

Although the countryside was good, before they had the money to buy high-tech products, they had to be careful when farming.

After resting for a while, Ye Jinxiu struggled to catch up with Hong Feng. She saw Hong Feng throw a bucket into the pond. He shook it with his left and right hands, and quickly came up with a bucket of water.

Ye Jinxiu yawned and glanced at the bucket in a daze.

With just one glance, her open mouth froze.

"Hong Feng, is that a fish?"

It must be a fish!

To her surprise, she saw a live, wild fish the width of two fingers outside the market.

Hong Feng put the bucket of water aside, turned around, took another bucket, and threw it into the pond. "Do you want to eat fish?"

Ye Jinxiu really wanted to. Her favorite food in this life was fish.

She felt that fish was delicious regardless of whether it was steamed or braised. It was something that she would never get tired of eating.

Hong Feng quickly picked up the bucket and said seriously, "Sister, wait for me. I'll come over to catch the fish after I'm done watering."

How could Ye Jinxiu rely on Hong Feng for everything? She had heard from her grandmother that there were many fish in the seventies, eighties, and tenties. You could catch fish by simply fishing in small streams and ponds.

Ye Jinxiu used to think that this was not very reliable. However, when she saw live fish with her own eyes, she felt that her grandmother's words were the most reliable.

She took the basket of seeds and reached into the pond to fish.

Perhaps there were many fish hidden in the pond, but she could catch a few fish with just a casual fishing.

Ye Jinxiu became more energetic as she fished. Grass carp, wild crucian carp, wild crabs, and wild prawns were all scooped up. When Hong Feng finished watering, Ye Jinxiu had already scooped up two bamboo baskets of fish, prawns, and crabs.

Hong Feng looked at the crabs and prawns on the ground with disdain. "Sister, these things have no meat. It's boring to eat them."

Because they were wild crabs and prawns, these crabs and prawns were very small. The crabs were only the size of a thumb, and the prawns were not even the size of a pinky.

However, Ye Jinxiu thought that no matter how small the crabs were, they were still crabs. Even if they could not eat meat, they could still taste them. She firmly refused to throw away the crabs and prawns.

Hong Feng had always been helpless against Ye Jinxiu. She could only watch as Ye Jinxiu brought everything home.

Ye Jinxiu handed the fish, prawns, and crabs to Madam Ye to handle. Madam Ye made braised grass carp, tofu and crucian carp soup, steamed prawns, and crab porridge.

The wild fish, prawns, and crabs were delicious. Ye Jinxiu ate until her stomach was round.

Hong Feng complained that the crabs were not delicious, but when she ate the crab porridge, she was instantly captivated. She ate three big bowls of crab porridge in a row before she stopped.

Gao Xuejun had always been the most reserved, but when he ate the crab porridge, he could not help but eat an extra big bowl.

Overall, Ye Jinxiu and the others were satisfied with this fish, prawns, and crab feast. They unbuckled their belts again and again.

After the meal, Madam Ye and Li Xue went to the entrance of the village to cool off. Gao Xuejun limped back to the house to rest. Hong Feng cleaned up the dishes and washed them. Ye Jinxiu slowly returned to the house, holding his waist.

After closing the door, Ye Jinxiu turned on the light switch. The fluorescent yellow light from the incandescent lamp shone on her face, making her sleepy.

However, Ye Jinxiu was full. She was holding her waist and feeling uncomfortable all over.

She pulled out a stool and sat down. She bent over and took out her virtual phone.

Ever since she received Little Fairy's negative review, she had not checked Taobao for a few days. She did not know how the Taobao store was doing.

Although she knew that Little Fairy's negative review would not cause a stir, she still opened the Taobao store with a nervous heart and entered the comments section.

[Little Fairy: Additional comment — What's the matter with the owner of the Sifang Delicacies?

You received a negative review. Shouldn't you stand up and apologize?]

With Little Fairy's additional comment, her negative review suddenly rose to the top of the list. There were more than 10,000 comments below.

[248 * 1: What's the matter with Little Fairy?

Is there anyone who knows the details? Come out and explain?]

[89 * 1: Let me explain the cause and effect of the incident. Little Fairy bought something from the Sifang Delicacies. After receiving the item, she realized that the item from the Sifang Delicacies was moldy and lacking in weight (not sure if it's true or not). After eating the food from the Sifang Delicacies, she seemed to have gastroenteritis (not sure if it's true or not). Then, she gave the Sifang Delicacies a negative review.

However, the Sifang Delicacies ignored her. She posted articles on VB, TB, DY, and KS to diss the Sifang Delicacies and demanded an apology from the Sifang Delicacies.

That's the cause and effect of the incident.]

[893 * 1: Let me give everyone a big surprise. Little Fairy is a small internet celebrity on a video streaming website. She loves to post diss articles to gain popularity. She says that she will scold whoever is popular.]

[463 * 24: Let me say this weakly. I used to hang out in a group with Little Fairy. She really likes to diss people.]

[789 * 1: I hate people who lie to gain popularity. Everyone, look at the picture.]

The buyer posted a screenshot. This screenshot was from a chat group of an internet celebrity. In the screenshot, only Little Fairy's message was saved.

She said that she didn't like the Sifang Delicacies.

She said that she purposely bought things from the Sifang Delicacies to give a negative review.

She said that the food from the Sifang Delicacies was really delicious. However, no one could refute her words.

She said that someone gave her money to fix the Sifang Delicacies.
