In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 92 New Seedling Breeding

After the Chinese New Year, Chen Ruotong began to prepare for the new year's farming plan.

She asked Chen Dahai to prepare two rooms in the manor, build a kang, raise the indoor temperature to 24 or 25 degrees, and select the soil. She took out the tomato, pepper, and watermelon seeds that she had saved from the space, soaked them, and waited for them to germinate.

The germination rate reached more than 70%, and then she made a small hole in the bottom of the plastic cup or paper cup in her space, put soil into the cup, buried the seeds in the soil, watered them, and placed them in two rooms. When the temperature and humidity are very suitable, the seeds will germinate and grow into seedlings.

Chen Dahai had never seen paper cups or plastic cups before, so he asked Chen Ruotong where these cups and seeds came from. Chen Ruotong just said perfunctorily that they were given to her by overseas friends, who asked her to grow seedlings and propagate new grains. Chen Dahai did not ask any more questions, because whatever his younger sister said was right, so he just listened to her.

Chen Ruotong asked Chen Dahai to lead a few people to light the kang on time every day, water the seeds in the cups at the right time, and observe the germination. They also put thermometers in the two rooms to observe the temperature.

Chen Ruotong would take out some new and interesting gadgets from time to time, and Chen Dahai and his men were used to it and it was nothing surprising.

Chen Ruotong spent most of her time on the farm, watching the seedlings sprout and grow, and rarely went to Zhenpin Pavilion and Huicui Building. Chen Erjiang and Chen Sanhe were doing well, so she didn't have to worry. She put all her energy into raising seedlings.

Qiao Zien also came to help during her break, and his feelings for Chen Ruotong became deeper and deeper. He tried to keep the two of them at a distance, but it often backfired. In the end, he just followed his heart. As long as he saw her, he would be happy, and he felt happy to be able to help her.

Sometimes Chen Ruotong doubted her ability. She was not sure whether these seeds could germinate, grow, and finally bear fruit. If the experiment was successful, it would provide the people with a lot of new food.

Chen Ruotong asked Qiao Zien: "Zien, do you think my experiment will be successful? I am a little nervous!"

Qiao Zien encouraged firmly: "I believe you will succeed, you are a lucky star!"

Chen Ruotong said happily: "I have received your encouragement, I will definitely succeed. I have always wanted to be a salted fish in ancient times, lying flat and enjoying life. When I had enough money and enjoyed it for a few days, I felt that living a luxurious life all day long like this seemed to not realize my life value here.

So, I am working on it again, planning to grow tomatoes, peppers, and watermelons to enrich the people's dining tables. This is also my contribution to this dynasty. I will bring these seeds back to Chenjiabao and change the current situation of Chenjiabao. Grandpa and grandma will definitely be very happy. "

With Qiao Zien's encouragement, Chen Ruotong worked harder in the seedling cultivation work.

After a period of time, the first batch of seeds finally sprouted and grew into seedlings.

Chen Ruotong excitedly told the whole family the good news, and Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen came to the pile to check it out.

Looking at the thriving seedlings, there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen.

"Next, we need to take good care of these seedlings and ensure that they grow healthily," Chen Ruotong said to Chen Dahai.

Chen Dahai nodded and said with a smile: "We will take care of Xiao Miao together."

As the days go by, the seedlings grow gradually, and Chen Ruotong's efforts are about to pay off.

It’s another year of green willows and blooming flowers!

The sun is warm and gentle, gently sprinkled on the earth, and everything revives. The flowers sway in the breeze, blooming with brilliant smiles and emitting a faint fragrance. The green trees sprout new buds, and the tender green leaves jump on the branches, like a cheerful song. The river gurgles, the birds sing, and the breath of spring permeates every corner, making people happy.

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien strolled along the banks of the Wing Chun River, feeling the breath of spring.

Tomorrow is the day of the college entrance examination. Chen Ruotong accompanied Qiao Zien to take a walk to relax.

Qiao Zien seemed very calm and indifferent, but Chen Ruotong was a little nervous, "Zien, you look so nonchalant, you must be confident! I am like the emperor who is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious. This is like the high school entrance examination. I always feel that I, as a parent, am under more pressure than you, the candidate!"

Qiao Zien frowned and touched Chen Ruotong's head, "Oh? When did you become my parent? You are only one year older than me!"

"I just said that, you took it seriously!"

"Of course I took it seriously. I'm just an innocent child!"

"Yes, you are an innocent child and I am a mature adult, okay?"

The two of them were chasing and playing on the shore, feeling relaxed and happy.

Chen Ruotong prepared food for Qiao Zien during the exam: cakes, chocolate, bread, instant noodles without skin, and two bottles of mineral water. These foods were enough for three days.

March 18th was the day of the college entrance examination. Qiao Zien and Chen Ruotong got up before dawn to wash and dress, took their examination baskets, and got on a carriage to go to the examination hall for a physical examination.

When the carriage was halfway there, a carriage carrying wood came galloping from the opposite direction. Qi Si was a good driver, so he hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road to avoid it, but the carriage seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and rushed towards Qi Si's carriage.

The carriage was shaking violently, and it was about to overturn. Qiao Zien said anxiously: "Not good, quickly hide in the space!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Zien flew out of the carriage, rode on the horse's back, and stopped the frightened horse.

At this moment, the driver on the timber cart jumped up, drew out his sword, and slashed at Qiao Zien.

Qiao Zien was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took out the Embroidered Spring Knife out of thin air and started fighting with the driver.

The driver was no match for Qiao Zien. Qiao Zien chopped off his arm in two strokes. He lay on the side of the road, screaming.

Qiao Zien understood that someone didn't want him to take the entrance exam! Someone was sent to cause a car accident, so that as long as Qiao Zien was injured, he would not be able to take the exam as he wished, which satisfied that person. There was no doubt that person was the eldest lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion - Tian.

It was around this time last year that the Tian family sent people to beat the original owner to death, which led to the current Qiao Zien.

Qiao Zien walked up to the man, stepped on his other arm, and said sternly with murderous eyes: "Tell that vicious woman that if she dares to have evil thoughts about me again, I will not be polite to her. I am not the poor wretch who was bullied before."

Chen Ruotong came out of the space, got off the carriage, walked up to Qiao Zien and checked if he was injured.

Chen Ruotong was really scared. If Qiao Zien was injured, she would miss the college entrance examination and waste a year of her good time.

The two of them had nothing to do, so they got on the carriage and drove quickly to the examination room. Fortunately, the delay was not long. When they arrived at the examination room, the candidates were queuing to enter the examination room. Chen Ruotong solemnly handed the examination basket in her hand to Qiao Zien.

"Zi En, I wish you success in the college entrance exam! I'll pick you up in three days. You can do it, come on!"

Qiao Zien smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words. Don't worry, all this time has not been learned in vain. It's a little cold in the morning, so go back quickly!"

The officers in charge of the physical examination all knew Qiao Zien, so they did not make things difficult for him. They followed the procedure and let him go after the inspection.

Chen Ruotong watched Qiao Zien enter the examination room, then returned to the farm to see if the potatoes she had taken out from the vegetable section of the market had sprouted.
