Farming Food Tycoon - Chapter 168
“Hey, Yuanbao, how did your young master send earthworms? There are still so many. Huh, it feels like the goose bumps are coming out…” The basket looked at the earthworms in the small wooden bucket, and felt a little numb on his scalp, so he took a step back.
Fang Xin glanced aside, too.
This earthworm may not feel much after just looking at it, but the small half buckets are piled up together, and watching the earthworms constantly surging inside, it feels a bit scary.
Yuan Bao looked at the expressions of the two of them, scratched his head, glanced into the barrel, and felt nothing. He replied, “Young Master Xin, my young master just wants you not to work hard to dig earthworms, so he does it by himself. I went to dig it for the little goose cubs to eat. It took a long time to dig it. Don’t you like it?”
Hearing this, Fang Xin’s heart was slightly warm, but it was really dumbfounding. He replied, “Thank him, then. It’s just that the little goose cubs can’t eat so much.”
The ingot scratched his head and said: “Then let it go and eat slowly. Put some water and soil in the bucket, it should be able to live a long time.”
Fang Xin nodded and replied: “Okay, you have worked hard. But next time you don’t need to dig hard for your young master, let him study at ease.”
Yuan Bao smiled and nodded, and said: “Okay Young Master Xin, then, do you have any reply to let me bring it to the young master?”
Fang Xin thought for a while, and touched his left cuff with his right hand. There was a picture he had painted inside, but he still pursed his lips, shook his head gently, and said, “Not today.”
“Then Young Master Xin, Yuan Bao will go back first.” Yuan Bao said goodbye when he saw that he didn’t reply.
When Yuan Bao was gone, the basket asked, “My son, didn’t you prepare a reply? Why didn’t you give it?”
“Now, it’s not the time yet.” Fang Xin shook his head and said, “Take this earthworm to the gardener Uncle Lu, and ask him to help deal with it.”
Luo Mingda didn’t conceal his intentions, but he has become accustomed to it. Whether he is worthy of entrusting him for a lifetime still needs to be observed.
“Don’t you keep it for the little goose cubs?” asked the basket, frowning, looking at the barrel.
“I can’t eat so much, I look dazed.”
“Well, I also feel scared when I look at it, and I don’t know what Master Luo thinks.” As he said, the basket closed the lid of the small wooden barrel and took it to the gardener.
Fang Xin returned to the room, took out the envelope in his sleeve pocket, and put him in a small wooden box.
It was May in a blink of an eye, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter day by day.
The little goose cubs had grown up and turned into vigorous white gooses. They were pecking and pecking all day long vigorously, looking like an invincible general every day.
Fang Xin kept them in captivity in the backyard and dug a small pond for them. The grass on the side was not removed, so that they could grow into the water so that the little goose cubs could swim and peck the grass.
Luo Mingda looked itchy, wanted to see Big White Goose, and even wanted to see Brother Xin. Since he met Brother Xin in Chaoxia Mountain at the end of January, he hasn’t seen him again. His thoughts were tight. But he was afraid of passing, and Xin Ge’er didn’t see him again.
In the past few months, Luo Mingda has been insisting on painting to Ge Xin, and he can receive at least three replies from Ge Xin every month, which is quite frequent. But Luo Mingda didn’t figure out what he thought about Xin Ge’er, whether he liked him or not.
Because every time Brother Xin wrote back, he painted goose cubs, from little goose cubs to big white geese. Although I didn’t see it, Luo Mingda had already witnessed the growth of the big white geese with his own eyes.
“Yuanbao, did you think I shouldn’t give Geese to Xin Ge? Xin Ge didn’t paint his life at all, and didn’t ask me how it was.” Luo Mingda was a little disappointed and began to reflect.
Yuan Bao comforted: “Master, if you didn’t send the goose cubs, maybe Mr. Xin didn’t even paint the goose cubs for you?” Yuan Bao can be regarded as witnessing his young master’s hard chasing process, which is very difficult.
“…That’s right. Hey, when can Brother Xin paint himself? I haven’t seen him for a long time, so I really want to see him…” Luo Mingda lay on the table, weakly speaking.
Yuan Bao leaned over, fanned his young master, and said, “Hey, master, I just heard the master go to ask our husband for a leave, saying that tomorrow I have something to do, but I will come to the mansion.”
“Oh, did he say anything?” Luo Mingda asked casually.
“I’m listening, it seems that something is going on in his family.” Yuan Bao replied.
“Oh, that’s it.” Luo Mingda looked uninterested.
Yuan Bao saw that his young master did not respond, and asked, “Eh, young master, you want to see Young Master Xin so much, why don’t you just go to his house to find him?”
“Go and see him?” Luo Mingda sat up straight.
“Yes, it’s not far anyway, it’s a quarter of an hour in a carriage.”
Luo Mingda hesitated, “…I’m afraid he won’t see me.”
Yuan Bao thought for a while and said, “Just say, just say, I went to see the goose cubs! The goose cubs are all grown up, you haven’t seen them yet.”
Hearing this, Luo Mingda’s eyes brightened, and he clapped happily: “Yes, I’m going to see the goose cubs. I sent the goose cubs. This is a good reason! Hahaha, Yuanbao, good job, let’s go see the goose tomorrow. Cub! By the way, I’ll write a greeting note, and you will send it to me later.”
“Good, young master!”
On the second day, Luo Mingda got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, cleaned himself up handsomely, and set off with ingots and gifts.
When they arrived at Fang Mansion, because there was a post yesterday, the doorman took them directly to the main hall.
In the main hall, Fang Fulang was explaining the housekeeper’s affairs. When he saw Luo Mingda coming, he chatted with him for a while. Knowing his intentions, Fang Fulang asked the basket to take him there.
The basket took the two to the backyard where the geese cubs were raised, where Xin Ge’er was feeding the two big white geese with leaves.
When Luo Mingda saw Brother Xin, his eyes couldn’t move away. After a few months, Brother Xin took off the heavy winter clothes and put on refreshing summer clothes, making the whole person more refreshing and beautiful, like a lotus about to bloom. Although he is holding green cabbage leaves in his hand now, it does not compromise his charm in the slightest.
“Are you here?” Fang Xin turned around and greeted when seeing the two of them.
Luo Mingda saw God, until Yuan Bao hit his arm next to him and reminded him in a low voice, he returned to his senses, and said with a smirk: “Brother Xin, long time no see.”
Seeing him like that, Fang Xin pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, “Here, the goose cub you want to see is here. Come and see.”
I don’t want to look at the goose cubs, I want to see you!
“…Oh, good.” Luo Mingda blinked and approached, giving a meaningful look at the two big white geese in the circle.
At this sight, I was shocked.
“Oh, why are they so big!” Luo Mingda was taken aback for a moment. These two big white geese were much bigger than he thought, and when they raised their heads, they could reach his thighs!
“G-” Hearing his voice, a big white goose raised its head and called out. The call was high-pitched and full of momentum.
Fang Xin glanced at him, smiled, and handed over a vegetable leaf, and asked, “Would you like to feed it?”
“Okay.” Of course Xin Ge’er gave him the leaves of vegetables.
Luo Mingda took the leaf of the vegetable and stretched forward to feed it to the big white goose.
“Just throw it on the ground…”
“Ah—” Brother Xin didn’t say anything. Luo Mingda was startled by the big white goose’s pecking over. He took a step back and looked at the big white goose with horror.
I almost got pecked! The force of the peck was so great, the leaves of the vegetables were all pecked away!
Brother Xin burst into laughter and said, “Just throw it on the ground. It hurts to be pecked by them.”
Luo Mingda looked at Brother Xin with wide eyes, and asked, “Brother Xin, have you been pecked by them?”
Fang Xin shook his head and said, “No, the basket has been pecked. When they were young, they had a lot of energy when they pecking at the leaves, and then we didn’t dare to feed them directly.”
“Oh, that’s good, that’s good.” Luo Mingda was relieved when he heard that Brother Xin hadn’t been pecked.
Fang Xin looked at Luo Mingda sideways when he heard the words. Seeing that he was looking at him upright, he quickly turned his head and continued to feed the big white goose.
Luo Mingda saw it, and his heart was itching with joy.
I always feel that after meeting Xin Ge’er today, the two seem to have become familiar with each other a lot. Xin Ge’er chatted with himself and said a lot.
“Alright?” Fang Xin felt that Luo Mingda was looking at him all the time, his sight was too hot, making him feel that the roots of his ears were heating up, he asked in order to divert Luo Mingda’s attention.
“Hey.” Luo Mingda regained his senses, and took the Caiye in Brother Xin’s hand with a hanky smile. His finger accidentally touched Brother Xin’s finger. It was cool and refreshing, making him feel excited.
“Then feed it well.” Fang Xin withdrew his hand and drew it back and held it with his other hand, without watching him pursing his lips.
“Okay.” Seeing that Brother Xin looked a little embarrassed, Luo Mingda quickly retracted his gaze and threw the vegetable leaf in his hand towards the big white goose. He was afraid that he would make Brother Xin anxious, and then he would ignore himself again.
The two of them fed for a while, finished feeding all the leaves in the basket, and stood aside watching the big white goose eat.
“Brother Xin, you raised them so well, so fat.” Luo Mingda looked at the two geese, with bright goose crowns on their foreheads, long necks, sturdy body, tight and shiny feathers, and they looked very good.
Fang Xin glanced at him and replied, “This is not for you.”
Luo Mingda was stunned for a moment, then anxious, and hurriedly said: “Eh, Brother Xin, I don’t want to eat them. Really, although I like to eat goose meat, these two are just the ones you raised up so hard. I never I’ve thought about eating them, I just want you to play with them, you have to trust me…”
Seeing that he was really anxious, Fang Xin laughed out loud and said, “Okay, I was joking with you.”
“Oh, you’re kidding, hehe…” Luo Mingda scratched the back of his head, looked at Ge Xin’s smile, stayed for a while, then turned her head back and asked: “Brother Xin, are they male or Mother?”
“…” Fang Xin blinked and said, “Didn’t you buy these? I don’t know if they are male or female?”
Luo Mingda shook his head and said, “I haven’t asked, so the farmer picked two stronger ones.”
“…” Fang Xin chuckled lightly when he heard the words, then pointed to the two big white geese and said: “This is only a male, and that is only a female.”
Luo Mingda looked at the two look exactly the same, except for one larger and smaller, and asked curiously: “How to distinguish?”
“…” Fang Xin thought of his gardener’s uncle who put his fingers directly into the **** of the two geese to check the appearance of the male and female, his face suddenly became red, and said: “My gardener said that this big one The smaller ones are male and the smaller ones are female.”
“Oh, that’s it…” Luo Mingda looked at it, but still didn’t know how to distinguish, and was about to ask again, Xin Ge’er spoke again.
“Aren’t you all studying lately? It’s not been long since Qiuwei, how come you have time to see the goose cubs?”
When Luo Mingda heard the words, he felt that Brother Xin was caring about him. When he was happy, he said in his heart: “Master asked for leave today. I, I want to come see you, so I’m here.”
“…Didn’t you come to see the goose cubs?”
Luo Mingda: “…Look at the goose cubs, I want to see you too.”
Brother Xin knew that was the case. He looked at Luo Mingda quietly for a while, and then said, “Master Luo, Qiu Wei has only been three months old. You should prepare carefully.”
What Luo Mingda feared most was the appearance of Brother Xin looking at him so quietly, as if all the thoughts in her heart had no way to hide in front of Brother Xin. He felt guilty for a while, bowed his head and said, “…I know, I’ll be ready.”
Brother Xin sighed inwardly. Seeing his dad, his tone softened unconsciously, and said: “Now, the goose cubs have seen it, and people… have seen it, so let’s go back now.”
Luo Mingda is obviously reluctant to go back at this time. It has only been a while, but seeing the appearance of Xin Ge, and thinking of her goal, she can only nod her head and replied: “Okay. Then, Xin Ge, me, me gone back?”
Brother Xin nodded and said, “Go back, get ready for the exam.”
Luo Mingda reluctantly walked away one step three times.
When Luo Mingda left, the basket asked: “My son, Master Luo is not easy to come here. He only came for a while and was obviously reluctant to leave. Why did you drive him away?”
Fang Xin looked at the two big white geese and replied softly, “What if he is not willing to do it? He should concentrate on preparing for the Qiuwei exam now. I didn’t want to agree to let him come yesterday.”
“Then why did you agree again?”
Fang Xin was silent for a while, then shook his head, and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go, the summer clothes for the little brother are not finished yet.”
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and soon came the days of Qiuwei.
In order to encourage Luo Mingda to take the test well, Fang Xin wrote a letter to him. The letter was not a portrait, but eight words: calm and quiet.
Luo Mingda was very excited when he saw it, and Xin Ge’er was cheering him up.
He entered the Gongyuan with high morale, and then… came out with a sullen face.
After he came out, he knew that he would definitely not be able to win Juren, and he still had this point of self-knowledge.
Now, he really regrets that he didn’t study hard in the past few years, but it’s too late to regret it. Brother Xin will get married next year. He certainly won’t choose someone who can’t even pass the provincial exam.
Just think about it and despair.
He was bored at home all day, and he couldn’t even paint the paintings for Brother Xin every three days. He didn’t have the confidence to paint, and he didn’t have the confidence to send the paintings out.
Chu Rong and the others came to invite him to have a drink, but he was not in the mood to go. He just stayed at home every day, staring in a daze when he read the reply letter sent to him by Brother Xin.
When it was released a month later, he didn’t even go to see the results. When Yuan Bao came back after seeing the results, he really missed it.
Chu Rong learned the news and invited him to drink again. “You said before that you want to prepare for the exam. My brothers understand you and don’t bother you. Monk! Come here, don’t pretend to be dead, you’re still young, just wait for the next time you take the exam.”
Luo Mingda shook his head and said weakly: “There is no next time. Next year, Brother Xin will marry.”
Chu Rong patted him on the head and said, “Hey, just a little brother, have you been wicked? There are so many good-looking brothers in the world, and Fang Xin is not the only one, don’t be deadly!”
Luo Mingda looked up, looked at Chu Rong with red eyes, and said, “But there is only one Xin brother in the world!”
“…” Looking at him like this, Chu Rong was really fascinated by Fang Xin, and suddenly smiled and cursed: “Well, you only have one brother Xin! You frown, go, and drink with your brothers. , Relax.”
“I’m not going, I want to sleep.” Luo Mingda muttered and leaned on the table.
“What do you sleep? You have been sleeping for a month! Walk around, we found a good place, brother will take you there for fun.”
“I don’t want to go…”
“go!”
With that, Chu Rong pulled the person out of the door.
As soon as he got out of the door and was about to get on the carriage, Yuan Bao suddenly shouted, “Basket? Why are you here?”
Luo Mingda turned his head to look over, and Fang Xin’s small basket beside Fang Xin was standing aside watching them.
The basket looked at Luo Mingda and replied, “I’ll deliver a letter to my son. Master Luo, are you going out… to play?”
Hearing that Brother Xin had a letter to herself, Luo Mingda ran over and said: “No, no, I just came out to send Master Chu. What about the letter? Give it to me.”
Basket glanced at him hesitantly, then passed the letter over.
Luo Mingda hurriedly opened the letter, looked at it, and was stunned. After a while, he hurriedly said to Yuan Bao: “Yuan Bao, hurry up, get the carriage ready, let’s go to Brother Xin.”
“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” Yuan Bao quickly asked when he saw his young master’s anxious appearance.
“Oh, go quickly!” Luo Mingda hurriedly pushed the Yuan Bao, then turned to Chu Rong and said, “Brother Chu, I’m sorry, there is something wrong with Brother Xin, I want to go over and see. Look, you guys go and play.”
“What is it so urgent?” Chu Rong was very dissatisfied.
“Just…something. You go quickly, don’t make them wait in a hurry.” Luo Mingda said, pushing Chu Rong into the carriage, and then sent the people away.
Then he asked the basket again: “Basket, how is Brother Xin? Isn’t it sad? Why is the big white goose missing?”
