When Yu Ci came back after throwing away the trash, he unconsciously glanced at the opposite door. The gate of the opposite villa was closed tightly without leaving a single crack. Yu Ci went back into the room, washed his hands and opened the refrigerator to take a look, it was empty, only two boxes of yogurt that he slipped in yesterday.
Although he didn't do anything in the afternoon and kept chatting in class, Yu Ci still felt a little hungry. The stomach was empty, and suddenly there were two gurgling sounds. He picked up a bottle of strawberry-flavored yogurt and unscrewed the cap, lay down on the sofa with a blanket in his hand, and placed an order to the public account of a nearby supermarket.
While waiting for the supermarket to deliver the ingredients, Yu Ci turned on his phone and searched for tips on growing cucumbers. He is usually quite a Buddha, but once he does something, he is determined to do it well. The same goes for growing cucumbers.
Cucumbers are different from fruits and vegetables such as green vegetables. As vines, cucumber seedlings need to use foreign objects to climb during their growth. In other words, Yu Ci had to prepare some branches or brackets in advance. According to how stingy Fu Nian was in the wasteland, it was impossible for him to give away the stand for free. Yu Ci could only google the shops near the imperial capital to see if he could buy a large number of brackets.
Fortunately, here is the imperial capital, and all the shops are complete.
After placing an order, tell the other party to deliver it as soon as possible. The other party quickly called back and told Yu Ci that there were not many goods in the store, and they would not be delivered until tomorrow. Yu Ci returned a good one.
The next afternoon, Yu Ci received a call.
Small trucks cannot enter the villa area, so they can only park outside. Yu Ci went to the other side of the villa area and borrowed a small car from the workers who were decorating the villa, and slowly pushed the small car all the way to the gate. The driver was unloading, and when he saw Yu Ci approaching, he immediately helped Yu Ci load a car.
After the loading was completed, the driver couldn't help glancing at Yu Ci's arm, and asked tentatively, "Do you need me to push it in for you?"
Yu Ci was flattered for a moment, and quickly waved his hand to thank the other party for his kindness.
He looked thin, but he still had some strength.
Soon, Yu Ci was slapped in the face.
The trolley was full of heavy loads and empty. He pushed it forward and encountered a curved slope. He stepped back slowly without stepping on the trolley. Yu Ci hurriedly used his body Hold on to the car. He stood still and sighed, and continued to move forward slowly like a turtle.
Home was right in front of him, Yu Ci took a deep breath, pushed forward with all his strength, and when he looked up, he found the handsome guy opposite was standing at the door, staring at him with strange eyes. Yu Ci subconsciously raised his hand to say hello, the cart lost its thrust and slid down unexpectedly, Yu Ci's face turned pale in fright, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
The handsome guy passed by him with a flat expression and nodded: "Come on."
Then he disappeared.
Yu Ci: "..."
After finally moving all the brackets back home, Yu Ci kept some and threw them in the backyard to hide from others, and moved the rest into the living room. He lay on the sofa for half an hour, casually cooked a tomato noodle before carrying the bracket into the wasteland.
The loud 'repay the money' made Fu Nian tremble in fright, but it was only for a moment, and Fang Fang flapped his wings and ran all the way to Yu Ci, "You are here, the cucumber seedlings are growing super well."
Yu Ci took a look. After nearly a week, the cucumber seedlings have grown a lot, and there are a few more leaves. At first glance, it is very satisfying.
Yu Ci threw down the bracket in his arms, turned to look at Fu Nian, "Can I insert a bracket to tie it up now?"
After a certain time, you need to gently tie the cucumber seedlings to the support and let it climb up with the help of the support.
Fu Nian nodded again and again, but glanced at the support on the ground, scratching his head with his wings, looking a little surprised: "You prepared the support yourself. But I suggest you buy it here, and there will be necessities such as fertilizer in the future. You can choose to trade with the system. It is not safe to buy outside.”
Yu Ci only pondered for a few seconds before realizing that Fu Nian's words made sense. Today he bought a lot of brackets and put some of them in the yard pretending to plant flowers in the yard. If he buys a few tons of fertilizer another day... it will not be easy to move back to the villa.
Yu Ci's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked: "Then how do you calculate the price here?"
"Different fertilizers have different prices." Fu Nian glanced at him and patted his chest with his wings, "Don't worry, I'll give you a discount for the sake of your heart."
Yu Ci was satisfied.
That's what makes sense.
After confirming the sources of future fertilizers and the necessities for crop growth, Yu Ci carried the bamboo support to the side of the cucumber seedlings, fixed the support, and took out a rope to tie the cucumber seedlings to the support. After hoeing and loosening the soil yesterday, Yu Ci felt that the current job was very simple and didn't take much effort from him. However, as soon as his back straightened, Fu Nian said, "The first round of fertilization can be done."
As the voice fell, a line of words slowly floated up on the screen in the air: Please click to confirm to start the fertilizer transaction. The price of one kilogram of fertilizer is 100, and the total price of ten kilograms of fertilizer you need is 1,000 yuan. PS: 10% off, the final price you need to pay is 990 yuan.
Yu Ci: "?"
10% off
Yu Ci turned his head to look at Fu Nian expressionlessly, his eyes looked fierce, "I even took out 660,000 yuan, what's the difference of ten yuan?"
Fu Nian looked serious: "Then you must not be short of 1,000 yuan."
Yu Ci choked, thinking that this is indeed the case. He frowned, and before Fu Nian took out the POS machine, he took out his bank card very actively. A total of 668,000 was swiped, and Yu Ci didn't bring his mobile phone, and he didn't want to read the deduction text messages on his mobile phone.
Ten kilograms of fertilizer is actually very little, which is the usual weight of a bag of cat litter. Yu Ci's expression was a little weird when he was holding it in his hand. After thinking about it, he asked clearly, "Is this little fertilizer enough?"
"Of course. Just sprinkle a little bit. Don't use ordinary thinking to think about the crops here." Fu Nian twirled a little bit of fertilizer on the cucumber seedlings with his feet, and demonstrated it to Yu Ci, "That's all right."
Yu Ci nodded, put on the leather gloves provided by Fu Nianyou, scooped up a handful of fertilizer and slowly sprinkled it down.
An hour later, Yu Ci stood up straight, twisted his waist on the spot, and did radio gymnastics that he hadn't done in three years. His movements were as standard as when there was a student union checking behind him. After doing all this, he stepped out of the wasteland, and within a few minutes, he returned to the wasteland with a bag of yogurt in his mouth and a large bottle of Coke, and handed the Coke to Fu Nian.
Seeing the shock and surprise in those black bean eyes, Yu Ci rubbed his nose: "I think it's not easy for you to follow my ass. You...can you drink this?"
Fu Nian nodded again and again, Heidou was tearful, and he spread his wings and hugged Yu Ci, "Woooooo, I knew I was right, Yu Ci is so kind, I forced you to grow cucumbers, do you still want to grow cucumbers?" Follow me!"
Mao Zaza's feathers poked Yu Ci's face, and he quickly pushed the bird out, "Then think about if there is anything you didn't tell me."
Fu Nian was taken aback: "Huh?"
Yu Ci: "For example, why did you choose me?"
Fu Nian: "... Liar! So you gave me a Coke to trick me!"
Yu Ci retorted: "No, I just wanted to give you a drink, but it would be better if I could get something out of it."
Fu Nian twisted her body angrily, pointed her butt at Yu Ci, and stopped talking. Seeing his puffy appearance, Yu Ci involuntarily curled the corners of his mouth, and he didn't look dirty, so he just sat down on the spot. His slender and white fingers poked Fu Nian's buttocks, and he sighed: "I can feel that you have no malice towards me. If there are some things that are inconvenient to say, it doesn't matter if you say them later."
Fu Nian clasped her wings back and covered her buttocks, jumped a few steps forward, and said in an indistinct voice: "Anyway, it's a good thing for you, and you'll know it in the future."
Yu Ci was taken aback, and raised his eyebrows. After a while, he smiled at Fu Nian, "Okay, let's drink Coke, it's iced, it's delicious."
Fu Nian groaned, turned around like a little daughter-in-law, and moved aside with the Coke in her arms.
After drinking the yogurt, Yu Ci returned to the room with the bucket in his hand, took the water and wandered slowly back to the wasteland to water the cucumber seedlings.
But the matter of watering is not that simple. In the future, the land here will be developed more, so we can't carry a bucket to collect the tap water at home every day, right? Yu Ci patted Fu Nian's little head and asked him if there was any water source nearby.
Fu Nian thought about what Yu Ci was worried about, and quickly explained: "There will be water sources in the future. Now that you are low-level and have little wasteland to develop, the system will not provide you with water sources."
Yu Ci roughly understood, nodded and sighed: "Your system is quite humane."
Fu Nian raised her chest, "Of course."
After handling all the cucumber seedlings, Yu Ci left the wasteland. Before leaving, I asked Fu Nian if he wanted to go out to have a look, Fu Nian scratched his head in embarrassment: "I can't go out casually."
So Yu Ci left alone, and went back to lie down on the sofa in the living room. With his legs resting on the armrest of the sofa, he picked up his phone.
For three or four days in a row, Yu Ci stayed at home, except for drawing manuscripts, he went to see how the cucumbers he grew were doing. The hard work paid off, and the cucumber seedlings have grown up smoothly, blossomed, and bear fruit. The little cucumber hanging on the stand was so cute, Yu Ci couldn't help poking it lightly with his hand.
Seeing his novelty with his wings behind his back, Fu Nian couldn't help being a little proud. It raised its chin and said briskly, "You can collect cucumbers after you come in two days."
On the sixth day after the cucumber seedlings were planted, at a glance, there were full of cucumbers hanging on the brackets, green and oily, with thorns on the skin. Yu Ci picked one and rubbed it on his clothes. After rubbing the thorns, he took a bite. It was crisp and watery. This is the first time Yu Ci discovered that the taste of cucumber is so good.
Seeing his appearance, Fu Nian couldn't help snorting, "How is it, delicious? This is the original taste of cucumbers. Those vegetables on the market have been ruined by you humans."
Fu Nian's tone was full of complaints, Yu Ci rubbed his head, but didn't say anything.
Yu Ci first picked some cucumbers and gave them to acquaintances in the villa area door to door. The professors were surprised by Yu Ci's behavior. Several old professors held the cucumber and frowned, but accepted Yu Ci's kindness with a smile.
The vegetables on the market today are not very tasty. Cucumbers are bitter and astringent, and many people don't like them very much. But they really can't refuse the kindness from the students.
Yu Ci saw what the professors were thinking, and didn't care. He just smiled and said, "It tastes good, professors can try it."
After Yu Ci left, several professors looked at me and I looked at you. One of them adjusted his glasses and asked tentatively: "That kid Yu Ci said it was true, why don't we do a photo shoot tonight?" cucumber?"
When the other professors heard the words, they stuffed all the cucumbers in their hands to each other, and said in unison, "Then you do it, and we will come over for dinner tonight."
…
Yu Ci glanced at the remaining cucumbers piled up in the living room, and there was still a basket. He propped his chin and thought for a while. The unpicked cucumbers in the wilderness were the ones he planned to bring to school, and the ones in this basket were the ones he planned to send to the neighbors. Now there is only one neighbor who has not received his cucumber, and that is the handsome guy across the door.
But the cold appearance of that handsome guy has always been imprinted in Yu Ci's mind, and Yu Ci couldn't help but think of the way the other party saw him pushing the small trolley with a mocking smile and saying cheers, and he slowly frowned.
It doesn't look easy to get along with.
But this cucumber...
Yu Ci scratched his head, and finally knocked on the opposite door with a cucumber in his arms. After a while, the door opened, revealing a handsome face with delicate features. The man gave him a cold look, his brows slightly raised. Seeing this, Yu Ci hurriedly handed over the cucumbers, "I planted cucumbers, and I'll give you some."
"Need not."
"It's delicious."
The man hummed to express his understanding, but he clasped the doorknob with his fingers and closed the door very neatly, directly blocking Yu Ci's sight.
Yu Ci: "?"
He stared blankly at the door in front of him, and couldn't help curling his lips. He knew that he wouldn't come here, and he was even slapped in the face. Yu Ci hugged the cucumber and was about to turn around and leave, but the door opened again, and the man explained with a stiff face and no expression: "I don't know how to cook, so I don't need it, don't think too much about it."
Yu Ci let out an 'eh', a little surprised that this guy even opened the door to explain. However, it is undeniable that this explanation did make him feel much better. He smiled at the man, and said without thinking: "Then do you want to come to my house for dinner?"
"OK."
Just as fast as the door was closing just now was the speed at which the man nodded.
At this moment, Yu Ci felt that something was not right.
