Chapter 159.
On the thirtieth day of the Lunar New Year.
Wang Duan was making dumplings at home.
The dumpling skins were processed from flour ground from cloud wheat.
Cloud wheat only grows on high mountains with abundant spiritual qi, and the production is quite small, thus it is quite expensive.
It was only for this dumpling on New Year’s Eve that he had purchased ten pounds in Yunlong City.
Normally, he couldn’t really afford to eat them.
As for the fillings, he used the tenderloin of a top quality spotted pig, bamboo shoots from his own bamboo forest, yellow mushrooms from the orchard, sun-dried fish and shrimp from the creek, as well as green cabbages, etc. He mixed three flavors.
Wang Duan mixed three flavors.
A big pot full.
When he was wrapping the dumplings, Yuan Yuan squatted on the table and watched, her eyes full of curiosity.
Wang Dust smiled and stretched out his finger, dipping it in flour and gently tapping it on his red nose.
Round Round sniffled, “Eeeee~”
The little guy had recently entered a period of vocalization, and his call was not the same as before.
But it was just as adorable.
“Don’t be anxious.”
Wang Dust consoled, “You’ll be able to eat soon.”
Today, he was about to spend the second New Year’s Day of traveling to this world.
In order to reward his hard work and efforts over the past year, Wang Dust had prepared a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner for himself and Little Round Round.
In addition to dumplings, there were also sauced big bone sticks, braised lion’s head, steamed white brook trout, seasonal vegetables three-pieces, charcoal grilled callow chicken, fried river shrimp with scallions, and so on.
He pulled out all the stops and exhausted his craft.
Yuan Yuan was very happy.
Because of this big meal tonight, several dishes it hadn’t tasted before, its eyes narrowed as it ate.
Its little head was buried in the bowl.
Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Delicious!
“Don’t be in a hurry.”
Wang Chen gave Yuan Yuan a large bone stick, “It’s all yours.”
He himself then served a bowl of dumplings and slowly ate it, watching the little guy gobble it up.
He felt happy and peaceful.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Wang Dust hugged Yuanyuan and went up to the roof of his house.
Looking up at the stars in the sky, to finish the year.
I hope that every year will be successful, and every year will be happy, and everything I want will be as I wish, and everything I do will be straight!
……
As winter turns to spring, the earth recovers.
When the old willow trees on the bank of the stream sprouted new shoots, it was time to plant new rice in the spring.
Wang Dust had purchased rice seeds from the Concubine Hall early in the morning.
And unlike before, this time for the spring planting, he had a powerful assistant by his side.
Mu Kui.
This organ puppet allowed Wang Dust’s career as a spiritual plant husband to step into the era of mechanization all of a sudden.
It worked without sleep or rest, did not need to eat day or night, and never complained of pain or tiredness.
Wang Chuan’s fifty acres of spiritual fields were all plowed by Mu Kui.
And it did a much better job than him!
The sowing was also done by Mu Kui, and he also did it fast and well.
Wang Chen only needed to perform the Spring Rain Fertilizing Technique once for all the spirit fields.
It completed the originally exhausting task of spring sowing.
This allowed him to free up more time to spend on cultivation, as well as running to the creek to touch snails and catch fish to have a good time.
This stream originating from the depths of the mountains was connected to a large river, and from time to time, there were river fish that swam upstream and intruded into Wang Duan’s territory, and then logically enriched his table.
Steamed, braised, fried, barbecued ……
Although Yuan Yuan is a spirit mouse, it also loves fish and can eat three at a time!
When Wang Dust caught fish.
It squatted on the rocks on the bank of the stream and purred cheerfully.
However, this morning, when Wang Dust brought the little guy to the stream again.
The father and daughter were all stunned!
In the stream, which was only about ten paces wide and four or five feet deep, there were countless whitefish and bluegill densely clustered.
Some of them were as long as two or three feet!
Knowing that small streams can’t support big fish, these big bluegills obviously all came from the big river downstream.
Only to see large and small river fish and stream fish, scrambling to swim upward, many impatiently leaped out of the water, jumped into the air and fell down, splashing a little crystal water droplets.
Some of the larger fish jumped so fast and furious that they fell to the shore.
Snapped!
A two-foot-long big bluegill, impartial just fell in front of Wang Duan!
Wang Dust was speechless.
This kind of big blue fish had fat and tender meat, and it contained the water spirit qi, which could be called a superior ingredient.
He had caught some before.
But never had he seen one this big!
And there were even bigger ones inside the stream.
Wang Dust probed his hand and ingested the living green fish into his hand and threw it into the bucket he brought.
The river fish is the most delicious when it is killed and cooked alive, the storage bag can’t hold live animals, so it is best to use the bucket to raise it and bring it home.
But looking at his bucket, and then looked at the stream full of big fish.
For the first time, Wang Dust felt that picking up too many cheap quantities for nothing was also a great annoyance!
At the same time, he also developed a great curiosity.
What exactly was the reason for these river fish to madly flock into the creek?
Was this an annual scenario, or was there something special going on?
Considering that the stream was within the boundaries of his own estate, Wang Dust didn’t busy himself with catching the fish, but instead walked upstream along the stream bank, ready to find out what was going on!
It was only when he reached the front of the valley that he discovered the end.
The source of the creek was just inside the valley, and the stream appeared to fall at the location of the valley’s mouth, and the small tam created by the impact of the stream below was similarly crowded with cyprinids.
They were all scrambling desperately for, what was clearly, a piece of peach blossom petal brought by the upstream stream!
Wang Dust drifted off.
It was another year of peach blossoms, I guess there were quite a few peach trees in the valley ahead.
This small valley with a hidden location had never been explored by him before.
So it wasn’t clear what was inside.
But the strange scenery that appeared today gave Wang Chen the idea of exploring it.
After all, this place was not far from his manor.
In case something went wrong and he was unprepared, it would be easy to fall into a passive situation.
After thinking about it, Wang Dust ingested a peach blossom petal floating on the stream.
A faint fragrant scent, with a bit of light water vapor, quietly seeped into his nostrils.
Wang Chen finally fully understood.
Why all these big fish were frantically scrambling for the peach blossom petals.
The spiritual qi contained in this kind of petal was surprisingly no less than the yellow sorghum rice he had planted!
All the more reason for him to go in and take a look then.
Judging from these petals, the peach trees that existed in the valley were definitely much stronger than those in Wang Chen’s own orchard.
If one could transplant a few over.
The spirit peaches that were produced would be excellent whether they were consumed by themselves or given as gifts!
Most importantly, this area had no owner.
It wasn’t considered theft for Wang Chen to take it.
After thinking about it, he flexed his fingers and flicked the peach petal in his hand back into the water pool.
As a result, before the petal fell, a large blue fish leapt out of the water unexpectedly and opened its mouth to swallow it.
However, not waiting for it to fall back into the water, Wang Chen probing hand ingested, thrown into his own bucket!
This is called the mantis catching the cicada and the yellow sparrow behind.
Wang Chuan puts the bucket with the live fish to the side first, and then takes Yuan Yuan forward into the valley.
There were neither wild demons nor evil spirits present in the Yunyang Sect’s inner sect’s land.
It was very safe.
