After Chen Xuan finished the call, he looked at the live broadcast room and then at the drone. He said,"Director Chen from Shanghai Medical College just called. He has already bought the wild ginseng. I apologize to everyone who couldn't buy it. As for the gifts that you just gave me, I'll return them to your accounts.”
They were here for the wild ginseng, or else they wouldn't have given him gifts.
Now that he had not bought it, he did not feel at ease with the money.
Tong Ren Tang: " Although it's a pity that I didn't buy it, these gifts are for Brother Chen. How can I return what I've given out?"
Lerentang rewarded 10 Buddha Jumps Over The Wall and left a message: Brother Chen, next time you go to the mountains to find wild ginseng, remember to save it for me. I've reserved it in advance!
Chen Xuan smiled and said,"Alright, if we dig it up again, I'll definitely keep it for you first."”
On the other side, in the rich man's WeChat group.
Tiger Mountain Traveler: " My goodness, Old Wine, this kid is not bad. He's so awesome."
Master Qiao thought,"If the wild ginseng is real, then he's really lucky."
Professor: Wild ginseng is real, and it's not luck. He has a solid understanding of it.
Three Gaps of Wine thought,"How is it? I've introduced you guys well, haven't I?"
Tiger Mountain: " The way he killed the snake made my eyes light up. He's really awesome."
Master Qiao: " It's indeed awesome. It's not easy to make such a reaction in such a short time."
There were only seven people in this group, and the content of their conversations was mostly women.
However, today was different. Under the recommendation of the three glasses of wine, everyone was discussing Chen Xuan.
In their small circle, it was really a very magical thing.
……
Chen Xuan put the wild ginseng away in the house and turned around to return to the kitchen.
He grabbed the Purple Lingzhi and carefully washed it.
After washing it, he grabbed the kitchen knife and made a few cuts.
"Isn't this…going to be sold?”
"Sell? Are you kidding me? Does my Brother Chen lack this bit of money?"
"Will you have a nosebleed if you eat like this?"
"Why is Brother Chen's mountain village life different from others?”
"Just the ingredients for a dish cost a few hundred yuan. How f * cking extravagant!”
"A few hundred yuan? You don't know how to calculate, do you? Do you know how much a five-step snake costs? If a villager caught such a big one, someone would take it for more than a thousand yuan!”
"Is this snake that expensive?"
"Of course, it's a five-step snake, big brother. Do you think it's a cauliflower snake? It's very expensive.”
"One meal…cost me half a month's salary?”
"Big boss, a monthly salary of 4,000? Damn, I'm so envious. When can I earn 4,000 yuan a month?”
"…I suspect you're humiliating me.”
Chen Xuan poured the chopped Lingzhi into the pot and stir-fried it a few times."The conditions are limited, so there's no need to be so particular. There was a saying that high-end ingredients often only needed the simplest cooking.”
"Cover the pot and let it stay there for a few hours. Snake meat and lingzhi mushrooms were not easy to stew. They had to be stewed slowly over a small fire.”
After covering the pot lid, Chen Xuan went around to the back of the earthen stove and added a few pieces of firewood.
These few sticks of firewood could burn for more than 40 minutes. Even if the fire was gone, the temperature of the charcoal fire was equivalent to the low fire of the gas stove.
After he was done, Chen Xuan stood up and clapped his hands before walking out."It's time to deal with the centipede."
He took the tea jar with the centipede inside, but he didn't open it immediately. Instead, he picked up a kettle filled with boiling water and opened the lid.
"You have to be careful when handling the centipedes. This kind of tea can is not high enough, and there are so many centipedes.”
"It's easy to deal with the centipede. Just boil it with boiling water.”
Chen Xuan opened the lid and saw a few centipedes climbing up. He moved quickly and did not panic as he poured the boiling water in.
A white steam immediately came out of the tea can, accompanied by a disgusting smell.
Chen Xuan was long prepared and avoided it immediately.
After boiling the water, Chen Xuan turned the tea pot upside down and placed it on the ground. More than a hundred centipedes were lying quietly on the ground.
"Use a bamboo stick to hold the head and tail of the centipede that was scalded to death. Straighten it out and let it dry under the sun.”
Chen Xuan searched around but could not find a bamboo stick. He put the centipede away and planned to go out and cut the bamboo. He would do it himself when he came back.
Although he wasn't specialized in this, as a king farmer, it was easy for him to make small things like bamboo sticks.
On the way to the bamboo forest, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered that he had not grazed the cows today.
It would be evening in another two hours, and there was no time to put it on now.
There were still vegetables stewing in the pot at home, so it was impossible for no one to watch over them.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly slapped his head. How could he have forgotten about the gene drink?
"I'll come and see you later."
Chen Xuan shouted at the water buffalo from afar and continued to walk towards the bamboo forest.
The water buffalo raised its head and looked at the two-legged beast with its big eyes. It obviously did not understand what he meant.
"Brother Chen didn't herd the cows today. Will the cows be hungry?”
"It's not necessary to let the cows go. We just need to cut ten catties of grass later.”
"Brother Chen, where are you going?"
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Chen Xuan came to the bamboo forest and walked while looking for suitable bamboo.
" The Mountain's Blessing has been triggered. Congratulations to the host for obtaining bamboo weaving."
[Bamboo Weaving: Learn by clicking on it. You will be proficient in weaving all types of bamboo.]
Someone really gave him a pillow when he was dozing off.
He clicked to learn in his heart. In an instant, knowledge related to bamboo weaving surged into his mind.
Looking at the green bamboos in front of him, all kinds of bamboo weaving methods automatically appeared in his mind.
Bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, sieve, and even bamboo umbrellas. As long as he wanted to make them, he could easily make them.
Not to mention the small bamboo stick.
"This one."
Chen Xuan picked a bamboo that was about the thickness of his forearm.
With a wave of the chopper, the bamboo was cut from the bottom.
The bamboo fell and crashed into other bamboos. When it landed on the ground, Chen Xuan dragged it and cut off the fork on it, turning it into a bare bamboo pole. He carried it on his shoulder and left.
When they passed by the field, the water buffalo looked up again, as if it was curious about what the two-legged beast was doing.
"I'll come and see you later." He said to the water buffalo, not caring if it understood him or not.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen Xuan threw the bamboo on the ground, moved a small stool over, and sat on the ground.
He placed the bamboo on his lap and held the knife in his right hand."There are good and bad things about living in the countryside.”
"It's fine. The air is good, the scenery is good, and the house is big.”
"There are also many bad ones. The school was far away, the hospital was far away, and there were no shopping malls or restaurants. If he wanted to eat anything, he had to do it himself. If he wanted to use anything, he had to either buy it from the county town or make it himself.”
"Everyone has seen the house that the program team arranged for me. The weeds in the backyard were all tall, and there was nothing in the house except for a bed. I want to pick some wild vegetables, but I don't even have a basket to put them in.”
"However, the wisdom of our countrymen is endless. If there isn't, then create!”
As he spoke, the chopper in Chen Xuan's hand slashed at the bamboo and landed more than a meter away. Then, he raised his hand and slashed down. A cold light flashed and he easily cut off a section of the bamboo.
After repeating this a few times, the bamboo that was about seven to eight meters long was cut into six bamboo sticks of the same length.
"Brother Chen's knife skills didn't fall. It's still as fast, accurate, and ruthless as ever!”
"No, why are you cutting bamboo?”
"Are you stupid? Didn't Brother Chen say that he didn't even put the wild vegetables in a basket? It's obvious that he wants to weave a bamboo basket.”
"Do you know how to make it up? This is not easy to make up."
"The last time I went to Hong Village, they sold a handmade bamboo basket for 120 yuan. It's really f * cking expensive!”
"You call this expensive? This was a hand-woven big brother! How expensive is that?"
"He knows how to weave a bamboo basket?" Wang Tao asked with a strange look in his eyes.”
"He knows a lot of things," said Ma Jingyao with a smile.”
"Why do I feel like there's nothing he doesn't know?”Zhang Jianmin said with a frown.
He didn't know why he felt that way. Perhaps it was his intuition as a police officer?
……
After cutting the bamboo, he left behind a section of bamboo that was more than 20 centimeters long. He did not throw it away.
He had originally planned to chop the bamboo to get some bamboo sticks. Obtaining the ability to weave bamboo was a pleasant surprise.
He grabbed the bamboo section and gently knocked the end with the chopper in his right hand.
With a crack, the bamboo joint was easily split open.
The following work was very simple. It was to repeatedly split the bamboo.
Making bamboo skewers was very simple. He just had to keep chopping the bamboo into bamboo strips of the same thickness.
Chopsticks were also made in this way.
However, people who had just learned how to chop very slowly needed to use a pen to mark the bamboo. Otherwise, it was easy to have a thick bamboo and a thin bamboo.
However, Chen Xuan did not need it. The moment he grabbed the bamboo and the chopper, he knew clearly how much strength he should use and from which angle he should slash the bamboo.
If someone took a ruler to measure it, they would be shocked to find that the thickness of each bamboo strip that Chen Xuan had cut did not exceed three millimeters.
What terrifying precision!
In everyone's eyes, Chen Xuan seemed to have pressed ten times the speed. His hands were like machines, and the chopper only had two movements in his hands.
He lifted it up and then dropped it.
Then, he saw bamboo strips neatly piled up together.
"So…so fast."
"Brother Chen's family does this, right?”
"Brother Chen's movements are so familiar that it makes my heart ache…It looks like he did it a lot when he was young. He probably relied on this to earn his tuition fees since he was young.”
"F * ck, it can't be that tragic, right?"
"Don't say anymore. I'm already crying."
In less than two minutes, more than a hundred bamboo strips had been cut out of a bamboo joint as thick as an arm.
He casually grabbed it and walked under the eaves. The centipedes were placed there.
He crouched down and took out a bamboo stick and a centipede.
"If you want to make bamboo sticks for sale, you have to use sandpaper to grind off the barbs on them and then boil them in water. It's the same as making chopsticks.”
"But I'm using it myself, so I'm not that particular. Besides, there's no sandpaper here, so I just have to be careful.”
He moved skillfully and straightened a centipede in a few moves.
More than a hundred centipedes were propped up and leaning against the corner of the wall to bask in the sun.
After dealing with the centipede, Chen Xuan went back to continue making bamboo baskets.
At this moment, Wang Bin and a few other children suddenly appeared outside the courtyard. They stuck their heads out and shouted,"Mr. Carson."
"Why are you guys here?" Chen Xuan went over to open the door and welcomed them in.
Wang Bin grabbed the mineral water bottle filled with centipedes in his hand."Mr. Carson, how do we kill this?”
Heh, this was the thing about relationships.
Chen Xuan smiled and said,"Then boil it to death and use a bamboo stick... Come, you guys come over."”
He didn't say anything and directly brought them to the corner.
The little boys looked at the centipedes in a row and immediately understood.
However, they didn't have so many bamboo sticks at home.
Chen Xuan said,"I still have some bamboo sticks left. You guys use them first. I'll get some more for you."”
"Let it be hot here. There's boiling water in the room.”
"Thank you, Mr. Carson." the children said politely.
Although their family was not rich and their parents usually worked in other places, they knew that they had to thank others for troubling them.
Chen Xuan smiled and said that there was no need to thank him. He went over and cut some bamboo sticks for them.
They would be scalded to death here, stretched out.
He didn't take it home and just left it here to dry.
After he was done, the children were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they squatted at the side and watched Chen Xuan work on the bamboo curiously.
"Mr. Carson, what are you doing?"
"Making bamboo baskets."
"I saw my grandfather make it up." "My grandfather is very powerful. The bamboo baskets he makes are especially sturdy," said a child.”
"My grandfather can make it up too!"
"My grandfather can ride a motorcycle!”
"My grandfather caught a hare!"
For some reason, it suddenly turned into a scene of these children comparing themselves.
Chen Xuan could not help but laugh. At this moment, he heard a little boy say,"My grandfather dares to eat sh * t, but does your grandfather dare?”
Chen Xuan,"???"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
" God damn horse eating shit, laughing to pee."
"This group of children can go and do crosstalk. They're too f * cking funny.”
"A child's words are fearless."
"I wonder what their grandfather thinks.”
Chen Xuan smiled and continued to weave the bamboo basket.
The bamboo joint was more than a meter long. If he used the same move just now, it would take more time. Moreover, he had to stand up. It was troublesome.
Therefore, Chen Xuan directly used his leg to clamp the chopper. Then, he grabbed the bamboo joint and gently knocked it against the blade.
The bamboo immediately split into two.
After finding the right rhythm, the next step was to repeat the same action repeatedly.
His movements were extremely fast. In less than a minute, he had successfully divided the bamboo into bamboo strips.
He didn't waste any time and continued with the second bamboo joint.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Oh my god…What kind of hand speed is this?"
"It feels even faster than before."
"I've always said that Brother Chen's hand speed can make rich women happy!”
"So, Brother Chen didn't practice this since he was young to survive? But for a rich woman?"
"Brother, isn't it for the sake of survival for the rich woman?”
"…That makes sense. I can't refute it.”
In just five minutes, a complete bamboo had disappeared.
What replaced it was a pile of bamboo sticks.
Some people compared the previous screenshots with the current scene. They were a little dumbfounded.
What exactly happened in these few minutes?
Chen Xuan grabbed two bamboo strips and said,"Weaving a bamboo basket is actually very troublesome. Break the bamboo, roast it, remove the knots, layer it, set the color, scrape it flat, cut it into shreds, and draw it evenly…"
"If you really want to study the process carefully, there might be more than ten steps.”
"First of all, let's start from the bottom, like this…"
Chen Xuan spoke as he began to make up stories.
In a few seconds, the bottom of a bamboo basket appeared.
He picked up the woven base and showed it to the drone."Look, isn't it very simple?”
Everyone was stunned.
"You call this simple?"
Brother Chen's understanding of simplicity…"
"We are different! Everyone had different hands!”
"Brother Chen: Isn't this just the right hand?”
Chen Xuan said,"The basics are done. Next is to prepare the other parts."”
"Weaving a bamboo basket actually has three main processes.”
"Base, weave, lock."
"I used the simplest weaving method. Of course, if I have enough time, I can also weave some patterns.”
Chen Xuan said, but his hands did not stop.
Soon, the shape of a bamboo basket was formed in his hands.
Everyone was stunned.
Then, Chen Xuan began the last step, locking the door.
Two minutes later.
A complete bamboo basket appeared.
"Mr. Carson, you're so amazing. You're much faster at making up stories than my grandfather!"”
"It's alright." Chen Xuan smiled faintly and pretended to be humble.
Wang Tao and the others also watched very carefully. As Chen Xuan explained and compiled, they were completely immersed.
After he was done, he said,"How professional!"”
"I feel that even without that wild ginseng, he'll be able to live a very easy life for the next month."”
"Indeed." "With his ability, he has almost no obstacles in living in the countryside," Ma Jingyao said.”
"No wonder he dared to choose this class with a completion rate of 0.”"I'm getting more and more interested in him." Jianmin Zhang smiled.”
In their eyes, Chen Xuan was like a treasure trove. As they continued to dig, he would continue to surprise them.
