The Story of a Young Man Who Traveled Through Time and Space to Farm

Chapter 8

When Chen Mao came in the afternoon, he not only brought Chen Baoer but also his own son Chen Qi. The two little kids were very clever. When they saw Aunt Zhao, they kept calling her "Auntie" and "Grandma". Aunt Zhao was so happy that she took out a lot of snacks and stuffed their pockets full. Now the two people's mouths were even sweeter.

Especially Chen Baoer surrounded Aunt Zhao and didn't even want her own brother. Chen Mao was speechless watching from the side.

Zhang Wuliang saw Aunt Zhao's rare happiness and didn't stop her. With Chen Xiaonian watching from the side, there would be no trouble. He invited Chen Mao to sit next to him to drink tea and chat. Before they chatted for a while, Zhang Zhenzong came in a hurry. When he arrived in the yard and saw Chen Mao there, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Wuliang looked at him and explained, "I mentioned this at Chen's house before, and my elder brother-in-law was also interested in it, so I invited him to come along."

Zhang Zhenzong nodded and said nothing. He just went up to greet Chen Mao and asked Zhang Wuliang how he planned to cook. He had no intention of sitting down and chatting with them. If it were someone else, they would think he didn't like them.

But Chen Mao didn't think it was a big deal, they were from the same village and they were not strangers.

Besides, they had drunk together when Zhang Wuliang got married before, and Chen Mao knew that he was a taciturn and pragmatic man, without so many tricks.

As for his appearance, he was not surprised. After all, the Zhang family had taken good care of Zhang Wuliang's family, so it was normal for him to help burn fertilizer.

Zhang Wuliang also knew his eldest brother's character, so he didn't say much. He took out a few hoes from the firewood room and told them what to do step by step.

Chen Mao looked at Zhang Zhenzong who was throwing branches in strangely. He did what Zhang Wuliang said, and it was obvious that he was doing it for the first time...

This was strange. He originally thought that Zhang Zhenzong knew this method, but now it seems...

But it's true. I haven't seen anyone burning fertilizer like this. Chen Mao looked at the pile of burning fire in front of him with a puzzled look.

Not only him, Zhang Zhenzong also felt very strange now. These steps of burning fat were very simple. Not to mention that Zhang Wuliang had invited Chen Mao before, even Zhang Wuliang could burn it alone.

But he went to his house specifically to ask him for help. He knew that his cousin was not a lazy person. He explained this new method of burning fat in such detail. Although Zhang Zhenzong was usually not talkative. But this does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, he knows everything.

Zhang Wuliang didn't know what his two elder brothers were thinking. Now he saw the fire burning fiercely and felt itchy. He turned around and crawled into the cave to take out a few sweet potatoes and buried them in the fire. When Zhang Wuliang was young, every time he saw his grandfather burning a fire, he would throw a few sweet potatoes and chestnuts into it. The family shared them and ate them. They were fragrant and sticky. The taste was so delicious.

Unfortunately, when he went to school in the city later, he also bought sweet potatoes baked in iron buckets a few times, but they didn't taste that good.

Zhang Wuliang squatted there, burying the sweet potatoes tightly. The most important thing about roasting sweet potatoes is roasting. If you don't bury them well, they will burn into charcoal later.

"Alas," Zhang Wuliang sighed as he stared at the sweet potatoes that were no longer visible, "It will take a long time."

It's a pity that there are no fresh chestnuts now. Otherwise, throw a few in, and it will be ready in a while. It would be great to eat while waiting.
