Taking advantage of the early time, Yu Ci loosened the soil and planted rice seedlings again. After all the cucumbers were picked, the cucumber seedlings that had begun to turn yellow were systematically cleaned up, leaving only a clean muddy field. This is quite good, saving Yu Ci from wasting effort to clean up the muddy floor.
Wiping his face casually, he patted Fu Nian's head, turned and left the wasteland. The work just now was not easy, Yu Ci was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and his body was soaked in sweat, and his whole body was wet and sticky. He sighed and looked at the time.
At half past five in the afternoon, it's time to prepare dinner.
Yu Ci didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried into the bathroom to take a shower. After hastily drying himself off, the doorbell rang in the living room. The people who came at this time were not the second choice except Qi Huai. Yu Ci opened the door, and Qi Huai stood at the door carrying a bag of presents.
Qi Huai's gaze passed over Yu Ci calmly. The young man had just taken a shower, and water droplets were still dripping from his hair. One by one, they rolled down and fell into his collarbone and into his skin under the pajamas. Just this scene made Qi Huai quickly look away. He handed the gift to the other party, pursed his lips and said, "I didn't know you were taking a bath."
Yu Ci smiled, "You came just right, I've washed everything."
As he said that, he looked down at the things in his hand, and looked helpless on his face, "Actually, you don't need to bring gifts. We are neighbors, so you don't need to be so polite."
Qi Huai nodded slightly, a little stubbornly: "Yes."
Yu Ci didn't argue with him, welcomed him in and put him on the sofa, and poured him a cup of tea according to Qi Huai's habit. He bought the tea in the supermarket this afternoon. Yu Ci is not very familiar with tea, so he picked out the most expensive bag based on the principle that the most expensive must be the best.
"You sit down for a while, I'll do the cooking, it may take a while. If you're hungry, you can have dessert first."
"I can help you."
"Don't bother." Yu Ci waved his hand, turned around and left, not giving Qi Huai a chance to enter the kitchen.
Yu Ci's cooking skills are good, but staying at home is uncomfortable, and he moved out very early. He doesn't like to hire a housekeeper, so he can only cook by himself. After a few years, his cooking skills are very good. His brother often teases him. In the future, he can be a chef to support himself when he is tired of painting.
He bought beef and black fish. Beef can be shredded to make stir-fried beef shreds, and black fish slices can be used to make fish fillets. Each dish is a little spicy, which can bring out the taste to the extreme. Since there were only two people in the family, Yu Ci didn't pursue quantity, and prepared a soup and a stir-fried vegetable, and the dinner was ready.
"Maybe it's a bit spicy." After serving Qi Huai a meal, Yu Ci smiled and thoughtfully offered it to Liang Bai.
Qi Huai picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, without changing expression: "I can eat spicy food."
Two minutes later, Yu Ci looked at the man's red ears and asked with a smile, "Is it true that you don't need to drink water?"
"Need not."
Qi Huai answered very simply, but his ears were getting redder and redder. Yu Ci was worried that his eyes would be too direct and make Qi Huai angry, so he could only hold back a smile and nod, "Then you eat more."
After dinner, Qi Huai drank three cups of tea in succession, and nicknamed it: "The tea is pretty good."
Yu Ci responded, "Yes, I picked the most expensive one."
Qi Huai and Yu Ci, who drank milk tea together, talked more than a few days ago, and occasionally asked about their work or life. It was more than two hours before Qi Huai got up to say goodbye and left, when he left, he pointed to the small pocket on the coffee table, "The drinks in it are made by people around us, they are very healthy, don't worry about being unsafe. "
Yu Ci hadn't seen what was in that pocket yet, but now that he was reminded by Qi Huai, his expression was a little surprised. After Qi Huai left, he immediately went back to the sofa and opened his pocket. Inside was an exquisite light-colored box with a very old-fashioned red bow tied on it. Yu Ci vaguely felt that this was not like Qi Huai's taste. He didn't stay long on the box and lifted the lid.
Two long-mouthed transparent glass bottles were placed quietly, obviously they were very common decorations, but when Yu Ci held them in his hands, he always felt that these things seemed to be very precious. He shook the glass bottle slightly, and the transparent liquid inside shook slightly, which looked quite nice.
Yu Ci took a cup and poured a little to taste the taste. It was a little astringent in the mouth, but it was slightly sweet on the tip of the tongue, which made people forget the bitter taste when they first touched it.
Yu Ci's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
He subconsciously picked up his phone and wanted to send a message to Qi Huai to tell him that the drink tasted great, but he paused for a few seconds before realizing that he didn't have the other party's WeChat or any contact information at all.
Yu Ci glanced at the door, thinking that forget about today, and ask for contact information when they meet Qi Huai tomorrow.
Yu Ci had no class the next day, so he stayed in the wasteland all day. The cucumber seedlings are growing very well. Yu Ci watered and fertilized him. When he was exhausted, he ran out to drink some drinks. He didn't know if he comforted himself well enough or what. The sore feeling on his body seemed to be swept away by something. net.
Fu Nian tilted her head to look at him, "Why are you working so passionately today? I used to want to lie on the ground after working for an hour."
Yu Ci narrowed his eyes and waved his hands, "Maybe he's in a good mood."
The sun was shining brightly outside the wasteland, but it was already night inside the wasteland. Stars all over the sky hang everywhere in the night, and the moonlight shines on the earth. Although there are no street lights around, the moonlight illuminates everything around it very brightly. Yu Ci felt that this picture was a bit good-looking, and he had already outlined the picture of the next assignment in his mind.
Fu Nian covered his mouth with his wings and yawned one after another, Yu Ci wanted to laugh, "Okay, I won't bother you here anymore, you can rest first."
Fu Nian's head almost drooped, he nodded vaguely in response, before he could say good night, he buried his head under his wings and fell asleep standing up.
Yu Ci patted his head, turned and left.
Back outside, the weather was just right, Yu Ci sat by the window for a while, pulled the computer in front of him and began to think about his current life. Vegetables must still be planted, and now only one acre of land has been planted, and there are still a lot of land left in the wasteland, and he has to fill them all.
But this has many problems.
It's easier to explain when there are only a few catties of cucumbers, as he and Professor Xia said, they were grown in the place where they lived before. But how many kilograms? He sold so many cucumbers at school, if Professor Xia had a heart, this lie would be exposed soon.
Yu Ci propped his chin and thought carefully for a long time, finally found a familiar number and made a call.
After hanging up the phone, he checked the price of cucumbers online. Cucumbers now cost about four yuan a catty. He sold them to alumni at the wholesale price he used at that time, and he almost cried out at the loss. This time absolutely can't do it again.
Must be slightly more expensive.
Otherwise, when will the 670,000 be earned back.
In the next few days, when Yu resigned from class, he received a lot of attention gifts. Many classmates and juniors came up to him and asked him if he still had cucumbers for sale. Ever since a student posted a post on the forum saying that he ate two more bowls of rice after making cucumber cold salad with cucumbers grown by Yu Ci, everyone's minds immediately became active, and they also wanted to use cucumbers to make a dish to improve the food.
In all fairness, the food in the cafeteria of Imperial University is pretty good, not to mention that there are special snack streets around. But after two years of eating this kind of food, I should be tired of eating it. Occasionally, I am so excited to cook and prepare some side dishes by myself.
Looking at the eager eyes of the group, Yu Ci smiled helplessly, "I will notify you after the second batch of cucumbers are picked, but the price may be more expensive than the previous ones, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"Oh, the price is not an issue."
"That's right, it's good to eat some. I don't know what the magic power of the cucumber planted in the school grass makes me think about it all the time. I feel tasteless when I eat other vegetables."
"School grass, where did you grow your cucumbers?"
This question is a bit private, and Yu Ci might not have answered it a few days ago, but it can be different now. He smiled slightly with a calm expression: "There is a farm at home."
"Oh grass, no wonder!"
…
The class bell rang, and the crowd around Yu Ci finally began to leave one by one. Yu Ci, who had a little breathing room, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried back to the seat next to Yu Guanghe, squinting his eyes. Eyes drank, "I didn't expect our group of juniors to be so enthusiastic."
Yu Guanghe glanced at something inadvertently, and smiled after hearing Yu Ci's words, "That's not because you are our school grass, not to mention that cucumber is really delicious."
As he said that, Yu Guanghe's foot suddenly kicked Yu Ci's leg. Facing Yu Ci's face that became confused for a moment, he squeezed his eyes at Yu Ci, leaned over and whispered, "Tian Zhiyi's eyes are so red. It’s almost bleeding. I’ve been staring at you since you first came in, and I don’t know if I can disfigure you or something.”
Tian Zhiyi was their former roommate.
Hearing this, Yu Ci turned his head and looked at Tian Zhiyi's seat without saying a word. Tian Zhiyi didn't seem to expect Yu Ci to look at him so suddenly, and he had no time to dodge, so he could only meet Yu Ci's gaze. Tian Zhiyi gritted his teeth and straightened his back, glared at Yu Ci, and refused to back down no matter what.
Yu Ci raised his eyebrows and showed a bright smile, which made Tian Zhiyi very angry.
He withdrew his gaze and clicked his tongue, "Why are you talking about it? We never provoked him. When we lived in a dormitory, we helped each other and got along in a friendly way. How nice it is."
Yu Guanghe raised his eyes and smiled, "It's a pity that some people just don't want to."
Yu Guanghe didn't want to talk too much about Tian Zhiyi, so it would be enough for Yu Ci to pay attention to this pink eye disease. He touched Yu Ci with his elbow, and said with a hey, "Leave me some more cucumbers for the second batch, and you don't need to give them away." , I'll buy it myself."
Yu Ci: "?"
The smile on Yu Guanghe's face deepened, and it looked like a precursor to wanting to kill a dog. Sure enough, he said: "The girl I told you about last time also likes the cucumbers you planted very much. I plan to invite her to the apartment for dinner."
Yu Ci moved his nose, the sour smell was particularly obvious. But it doesn't matter, there is no one who can be invited to dinner at home.
