“Plant one every two steps.”
"When watering, you must use a wooden spoon to water each tree individually. No more, no less, just one level spoon."
"Pay attention to weeding. If you see small grass, pull it out as soon as possible."
"The most important thing is to defend against strange beasts." Mr. Hao solemnly warned.
"You have to come regularly for inspection at night. It will be troublesome if strange beasts from the mountains come and damage us."
Chen Mu was surprised: "Alien beast? The alien beast from the alien bone powder?"
"Yes, the alien beasts are not the beasts you think of." Mr. Hao warned carefully: "Most of the alien beasts that can live near the earth spirit energy are rough-skinned and thick-flesh."
"Ordinary swords can't break the defense at all."
Chen Mu couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.
"Invulnerable? Are you almost catching up with the armored warrior?"
Mr. Hao looked at Chen Mu meaningfully: "Disciples in the lower courtyard must meet the standards of Jiapo. This is no joke."
"The energy of the earth spirit can drown people."
"Exotic beasts can also bite people to death."
"Without Jiapo's protection, I won't be able to stay in the lower courtyard for long."
Chen Mu felt awe-struck.
"This seemingly peaceful lower courtyard of Jilongshan doesn't seem to be unsafe either."
…
"The growing conditions of yellow sprout rice are harsh, making it cumbersome and difficult to grow."
"There are also strange animals stealing food on weekdays, so it's not easy to protect them."
"When it's ripe, the fragrance will spread for dozens of miles, and herbivorous birds and animals will come to snatch the rice, making the harvest even more troublesome."
"You have to be mentally prepared. You will definitely be in debt in the first two years." Mr. Hao looked at Chen Mu sympathetically.
"Forget about what Fatty Ge said to fool you."
"It costs money to buy the secret method of unity, and it costs even more money to practice the secret method of unity."
"You have to recognize the reality and don't be too ambitious!"
"First settle down and cultivate the land, and take care of the yellow sprouts." Mr. Hao warned earnestly.
"When the food delivery target is achieved, the excess yellow sprouted rice will be slowly accumulated."
"At that time, with money in hand and no panic in mind, it will be a matter of course if I practice the secret method of unity."
Chen Mu nodded in agreement: "Mr. Hao is right!"
“If you don’t have money, you won’t have the confidence to do anything.” Mr. Hao lamented: “It is important to save a reserve fund, which will give you more opportunities for trial and error.”
"Look at your own pocket and think about the difficulties you are about to encounter. Let me ask you, are you panicking?"
Chen Mu looked at the nearly a thousand tranquilizing pills in the Five Ghosts' bag and nodded solemnly: "I'm so panicked!"
…
For seven consecutive days, Mr. Hao taught Chen Mu step by step how to breed, plant, fertilize, and care for the crops.
And helped Chen Mu get yellow sprout rice seeds from the warehouse in the lower courtyard.
He also acted as guarantee for Chen Mu and went to Tongtianfang Baicao Pavilion to get a year's worth of exotic animal bone meal fertilizer on credit.
The two of them taught and worked at the same time. They worked continuously for seven days and only finished planting one acre of yellow bud rice field.
In the short mountain courtyard.
Chen Mu and Hao Lao were sitting at the square table, feasting on a table of vegetables and meat.
"Thank you, Mr. Hao, for your guidance." Chen Mu said sincerely.
These days, the other party did not hide anything secretly, which really moved Chen Mu.
"You planted the yellow rice earlier, which is the greatest thank you to me." Mr. Hao burped and took out the cigarette rod to smoke.
"If you can complete the food delivery goal within two years, I can receive twelve white jade coins as a reward from the House of Commons."
"If you can complete it within a year, I can even receive twenty-four!"
"Now you know why I'm so interested." Mr. Hao exhaled a puff of smoke and raised his eyebrows cheerfully.
Chen Mu suddenly felt surprised, but still grateful.
Even if there are rewards, it is rare to be able to teach with such dedication.
People are sinister, and it is not uncommon for them to receive rewards from the House of Commons while receiving apprenticeship fees. This kind of situation is not uncommon.
Mr. Hao didn't do this, which had to impress Chen Mu.
Mr. Hao is a real person!
…
In the evening, on the other side of the low mountain five miles away from Chen Mu's stone courtyard.
In a stone courtyard similar to Chen Mu's house.
Mr. Hao sat in front of a bright oil lamp, smoking a cigarette.
Sitting opposite him was a fat man with small eyes. He looked at Old Hao with a smile and said, "The new guy, do you have any ideas about selling your portable treasures?"
The honest man Hao Lao leisurely smoked: "Although he didn't speak, I can see that his expression is similar."
"I explained to him the difficulties of growing yellow sprout rice."
"Make clear the possible consequences of debt."
"Let him calculate the cost and time of practicing the secret method of unity."
"What do you think he is thinking?" Mr. Hao said with a calm expression.
The fat man with small eyes suddenly beamed with joy: "He will be unwilling, he will be anxious, he will want to make a lot of money, and start practicing immediately!"
"Hao Lao Mingming!"
Mr. Hao smoked with a smile on his face: "After a while, I casually mentioned that some of his companions had already obtained the secret method of unity and started practicing."
"you say……"
"He will definitely sell his treasures in exchange for white jade spirit money!" The fat man with small eyes couldn't help but said excitedly.
"The enemy!" Mr. Hao smiled and blew out a puff of smoke.
"I will go find out some news about outsiders tomorrow. Since I want to stimulate him, I have to tell the truth." The fat man with small eyes said shrewdly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hao, I will definitely get the news to you tomorrow afternoon."
"There's no rush." Mr. Hao said slowly, "I have to wait ten days and a half before I go there."
The fat man with small eyes looked at Mr. Hao in confusion.
"Don't you know how difficult it is to grow yellow rice?" Mr. Hao squinted at the fat man.
"Of course I know." The fat man with small eyes said with a wry smile: "If it were not difficult, I wouldn't secretly do this small business of buying and selling to make money."
"So we have to wait a few days. Let him grow one of his own and experience the trouble."
"If he has been busy for half a month, he will not be able to plant three acres of land..." Mr. Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "At that time, I will talk to him with the news you got."
"He must sell the treasure for money!"
The fat man with small eyes suddenly realized: "Old Hao is still thoughtful!"
Immediately he became worried: "But what if he learns it?"
Mr. Hao rolled his eyes: "I have indeed kept my secrets for the past seven days, and the secrets are clearly explained, but most of the time, I am the one doing it."
“I talk a lot and do a lot.”
“He listens a lot but practices little.”
"I feel like I know how to do it. Let's actually do it, haha..." Mr. Hao smiled meaningfully.
The fat man with small eyes immediately extended his thumb: "Awesome!"
Mr. Hao looked proud. "Do you think my life is in vain at my age?"
The fat man with small eyes smiled happily: "Don't worry, Mr. Hao, once the job is done, 10% of the commission will be given to you with both hands."
Mr. Hao immediately nodded with satisfaction.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but tell him: "The price you give can't be too outrageous. There will be a long time to come, and the transaction must be considered for a long time."
"With the subsequent purchases of various medicinal pills and magic weapons, I might be able to make a few more bucks."
The fat man smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Hao, I will remember it."
"The roots of the leeks can't be cut off yet."
"Besides, we have no intention of cheating him. At most, we are trying to lower the price."
"Compared with us, what Dong Cheng and his gang did was not to lower the price, but to rob!"
