Soon, Chu Ming and Shen Lefei arrived at the hundred acres of land east of the village. As far as the eye could see, it was a paradise for crops.
There were ripe wheat, cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupes, melons, and chives.
"Wow, this area is full of crops.”
"Thinking about working in the fields, picking fruits when you're thirsty, and going home to eat your own vegetables, it's really a kind of enjoyment.”
"Look, the tomatoes are so ripe that they're cracked. Aiya, I've never eaten tomatoes that ripen naturally in a big city.”
"It can't be helped. The ripe tomatoes are all rotten when they're transported here. No one will buy them.”
"Yes, just like lychees and bananas, the taste is too different between buying them in the market and picking them from the trees.”
Most people who lived in the city yearned for the leisure and leisure life in the countryside.
At this moment, a dog barked in the distance.
"Wang! Boom! Wang!"
The golden-haired saihu immediately wagged its tail and ran forward excitedly.
After a while, a big yellow dog ran out from the corner. When it saw Saihu, the two dogs were like old friends meeting each other. They happily circled around and played around.
"CEO Hei!"
Shen Lefei shouted.
CEO Hei was even more excited when he saw Chu Ming and Shen Lefei.
He immediately ran over and laid down with his front body, squeaking like a spoiled child.
"Wow, this is CEO Hei. What a beautiful dog.”
"I just like Chinese rural dogs.”
"This kind of dog is my favorite. It's very smart.”
Shen Lefei jumped down and President Hei laid down, revealing his belly as if he was showing off. President Hei's belly was indeed big.
"CEO Hei, you're really pregnant.”
CEO Hei seemed to be very happy and excited about being a mother.
"Boss Hei, lead the way." Chu Ming smiled.”
"Whoosh."
Boss Hei jumped up and ran in front.
After turning the corner, they saw a watermelon field. In the middle of the watermelon field, there were a few scarecrows.
At the end of the watermelon field was a small mountain range.
Looking at the watermelon field again, the round watermelons were already very big and very beautiful.
There was a straw shed on top of the watermelon field.
Growing watermelons in the mountain village was different from other fruits. Someone had to sleep in the field at night to prevent wild boars from eating the watermelons at night.
Although there weren't many wild boars in the mountains, there were still some crops that were caught.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen so many watermelons.”
"Aiya, I really want to eat it."
"This kind of watermelon has a thin skin and is delicious.”
However, Chu Ming looked at the watermelon seedlings and found that they had all wilted. Many of the leaves had turned yellow.
"Eldest Aunt, Eldest Uncle."
A middle-aged couple walked over from the straw shed. They were Shen Lefei's parents.
"She's clearly here. Eh, why is Xiao Fei here too?”Fei's father, Shen Sanhuai, was stunned.
"Dad, I just came back today. What's wrong with watermelons?”Shen Lefei asked curiously.
Mother Fey pointed at the watermelon seedlings and said,"Look, such a good watermelon seedling has wilted.”
Chu Ming walked into the field and squatted down to observe the watermelon seedlings.
"This kind of watermelon seedling is wilting. It might be because the temperature is too high.”
"Or maybe he's short of water."
"We used to grow watermelons at home. Maybe it's because there's too much fertilizer.”
Many netizens were discussing.
Chu Ming knew that his aunt and his wife had been planting watermelons for three years. They were quite experienced, so they wouldn't need to apply fertilizer when there was a lack of water.
"Xiao Ming, look at the roots of this watermelon seedling.”
Shen Sanhuai grabbed a seedling and showed it to Chu Ming.
The roots of the watermelon seedlings were actually a little withered.
"How did this happen?" Chu Ming frowned.
Shen Sanhuai said," A few days ago, I saw that the leaves were turning yellow. I thought that it was because I lacked water, so I brought less water. However, it didn't work. I felt that I lacked fat, so I brought more fat.”
"If you add more fat at this time, won't the watermelon crack?”Chu Ming asked.
Shen Sanhuai nodded and said," Yes, the watermelon cracked. Fortunately, I only got a small piece to test it. But today, I found that the roots of many seedlings were about to wither. I saw that they were damaged.”
Chu Ming nodded." So it's not the water or fertilizer."”
"Yes, I've been busy with the watermelon seedlings these past few days.”Shen Sanhuai sighed.
"30 acres of watermelons are all like this?”Chu Ming raised his eyebrows.
Shen Sanhuai nodded with a worried expression.
"This watermelon is being added with sugar. What if this seedling withers? There are still tens of thousands of famines in our family."
(In the countryside, the debt owed to others was called famine.）
Fey's mother couldn't help but cry as she spoke.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
"Why do you think I'm crying? The price of watermelons last year wasn't good. This year, the watermelons aren't ripe yet. The seedlings are dead and rotten in the ground.”
Fey's mother wanted to cry.
"I'm also a farmer. I've planted watermelons before. The roots of these seedlings have withered. If it's not because of the water and fertilizer, then this land is not good enough.”
"This is 30 acres of watermelons. If it's over, it'll really be a huge loss.”
"It's a pity that the watermelon isn't ripe yet.”
"Don't be anxious. Have you forgotten that cousin is an expert in agriculture?”
"Experts are useless. It's already too late to remedy this.”
"Mom, why are you crying? I have money." Shen Lefei quickly said.”
"Your salary is not enough for you to spend.”Fey's mother wiped her tears and glared at her.
"Don't worry, Aunt," Chu Ming quickly said.”
"Hmm?"
This time, Shen Sanhuai and Mother Fei's eyes lit up as if they saw hope.
Chu Ming guessed that the watermelon seedling might be lacking some growth element because it didn't look like a virus.
He suddenly thought of the recipe for the elemental energy replenishing water rewarded by the system. Perhaps he could give it a try.
Moreover, there were many herbs in the secret recipe on the opposite mountain. They were very common there.
"This watermelon seedling must be lacking some kind of growth element," Chu Ming said."I'll mix it with water and spray it on an acre of land."”
" Elemental loss?"
Shen Sanhuai and his wife didn't understand this.
"Ahem, I think cousin is a fake farmer expert, right? Elemental deficiency? I've never heard of such a thing happening in the ground.”
"That's right. Is there anything in the fertilizer?”
"Don't doubt it, you guys. Support Little Brother.”
Many people in the live broadcast room began to doubt it.
"The recipe is just a few herbs. I'll go pick them. Uncle, get some water."”
"Alright."
Shen Sanhuai had no other choice.
Chu Ming picked up the hoe and headed toward the east.
"Cousin, I'll go with you."
"Wang."
Golden Saihu also followed.
