Married a Scholar

　Chapter 71▍It

　　seems to have turned into a sticky cake.

　　After seeing off the grateful Zhang Boyi, Xia Wenzhe went into the bedroom. Meng Yining was leaning against the bed reading a book. Seeing him come in, he asked, "Is your classmate gone?"

　　"Yes," Xia Wenzhe came to the bedside and held him in his arms. Without Meng Yining asking again, he told him the real purpose of his visit. He then said, "I told him about the prescription half-truthfully. Although I haven't had much communication with Zhang Boyi, I have heard him and other classmates say that he is a very sincere and trustworthy person. Now I will tell him the prescription for free. With his character, he will definitely avoid some trouble for us."

　Meng Yining raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, "I heard everything you said." He was not spying, but was just curious. In addition, Xia Wenze did not deliberately lower his voice. He had a strong hearing, so he could hear everything Xia Wenze said in the study room.

　　Xia Wenze chuckled and did not deny the little thoughts in his words, such as intentionally or unintentionally discrediting the Xia family, the Meng family, and the Zhao family. "I can't go to Daqingshan today." I didn't expect my classmates to come and delay the whole morning.

　　"I'll go again tomorrow. I'll go in the afternoon to see how the first batch of seedlings are growing. They should be ready for transplanting in the next few days." When soaking the first batch of rice seeds, he added some growth nutrient solution from his space. This nutrient solution was specially developed by agricultural researchers at the base in the end times to make crops grow quickly. It

　　was originally supposed to be used after transplanting or during the seedling raising period. He was worried that the growth nutrient solution would cause the seedlings to grow too fast, so he only added some to the water when soaking the seeds.

　　In this way, the rice seeds soaked in the growth nutrient solution will grow slightly faster than ordinary seedlings, but not too much, and the rice produced may be a little fuller than ordinary rice.

　　"Okay. Uncle Wei came to see me this morning and asked me when I could take off the tarpaulin in the field. He wanted to see the rice seedlings inside." Xia Wenzhe chuckled and rested his chin on Meng Yining's shoulder. "Uncle Wei must have been thinking about this for a while."

　　He could understand that a new planting method would bring some curiosity and expectation while being skeptical.

　　"The rice seedlings in the paddy fields in the village are about four inches long. Uncle Wei wants to know how much the rice seedlings covered by the tarpaulin in our house have grown."

　　Meng Yining put the book in his hand on the cabinet next to him. "Our rice seedlings are about six inches long." Although he used ordinary rice seeds that have not been improved in this world, with the blessing of growth nutrients, the growth rate is faster than the rice seedlings in this world, even if it is not as fast as in the end of the world.

　　Xia Wen Ze was a little surprised, because the field bed was covered by tarpaulin, and he had never seen the growth of the rice seedlings inside. Hearing what Ning said, his rice seedlings grew much faster than those in the paddy fields in the village.

　　"So, it's time to plant the rice seedlings as you said."

　　"Yes. When the time comes, let Brother He and Brother Yi go to the field to watch me plant the rice seedlings. After they learn how to plant the rice seedlings, let them finish planting the rice seedlings together." Meng Yining patted Xia Wen Ze on the back, "It's time to make lunch."

　　Since officially becoming husband and wife with Xia Wen Ze, this guy seemed to have suddenly become a sticky cake, and especially liked to have physical contact with him, and wanted to hug him at any time.

　　"Steam some pickled sausage. There's the pancake you took out last time in the study cabinet. How about cooking it?" Xia Wen Ze stood by the bed and pulled Meng Yining up. "You made it delicious last time ."

　　"Okay." Meng Yining went to the kitchen and rummaged through the vegetable basket. There was rapeseed that Xia Wen Ze picked from the vegetable garden that morning. There were a few eggs in the cupboard. There were a few mushrooms left in the space after A-min gave him last time after he stewed the ribs. He just took them and threw them into the noodles.

　　Xia Wen Ze took out a few pieces of pancakes. Meng Yining was frying poached eggs. There were shredded mushrooms on the stove. He liked to stir-fry the mushrooms with a little oil before cooking them. In this way, the mushrooms that have absorbed the oil taste better.

　　Xia Wen Ze put the noodles away and went to wash the rapeseed. After washing, he came back and sat in front of the stove and looked at the fire in the stove.

　　"I won't steam the sausage. Cut it and throw it into the pot to cook it, then eat it with the noodles." In fact , it is also delicious this way, and the noodles still have the spicy taste of sausage.

　　"Okay."

　　The fried eggs were served, and the shredded mushrooms were poured into the pot and stir-fried a few times with the remaining oil from frying the eggs. Then the chopped sausage and the eggs were thrown into the pot together, and water was poured and the pot lid was covered.

　　Meng Yining took out two bottles of soap and happy water from the space. This was the last time he traded with Meng Chongjue.

　　The two of them ate very well at lunch, and ate the six noodles and the soup cleanly.

　　After resting for a while, when the sun was not so strong, the two took the two brothers He Fangyi and He Fangliang to the fields.

　　Some people were checking the growth of their own seedlings by the field, and some were bending down to pull the growing water plants in the field. Not far away, some were chasing the ducks and geese that wanted to enter the field .

　　"Go away, go away, don't go to the river, come to the field,believe it or not, I will kill you and stew you directly."

　　"Whose ducks and geese are these? Why do you always come to the field?"

　　"Xia Saner's."

　　Someone from the field responded.

　　Then I heard the man kicking the last duck with a few kicks while cursing.

　　The sound of geese quacking rang out by the field, and it was very lively.

　　Meng Yining brought He Fangliang and his brother to the edge of their paddy field, "Brother He, go and take a look at the tarpaulin."

　　He Fangliang took off his shoes and socks without saying a word, rolled up his trouser legs, went down to the field and carefully took off the tarpaulin.

　　People in the field who saw the commotion here all ran over to see the excitement.

　　For a while, no one said anything.

　　But when He Fangliang took off the tarpaulin, the people on the scene exclaimed.

　　"How come this seedling is so tall?"

　　"Oh my god, it must be about five or six inches long?"

　　"I'll go measure it." An old man who was just pulling weeds in the field went straight to the seedlings, stretched out his palm to measure it, and was shocked. "At least six inches."

　　"Oh my god, six inches?"

　　"Zhao Laoqi, did you measure it wrong? Is it really six inches?"

　　Zhao Laoqi stood up without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the seedlings in front of him that were at least two inches longer than theirs. "I can still measure it wrong. you don't believe me, measure it yourself."

　　Some people really went to the field to disbelieve it, but the results were the same.

　　Meng Yining didn't think it was a big deal. Xia Wenzhe, who had heard Meng Yining talk about the benefits of raising seedlings, was also a little surprised. Although Ning Ge'er said in the morning that the seedlings might be about six inches long, I still have some doubts because I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
