Chapter 15: In winter, we still have to eat hot pot

Everyone saw how powerful the blood spirit rice was.

A little kid under 7 years old could actually compete with adults who had been doing farm work for decades.

This was incredible.

However, Jiang Lan knew that it might be because he was still in the growth stage and had the help of the system.

Every time he exercised, the progress of [Physical Training] would increase.

I just don’t know how effective Jiang’s father is. The blood spirit rice is still a little bit small now.

It’s barely enough to supply Jiang Lan alone. I can only wait until next year!

However, Jiang Lan plans to strengthen everyone’s physique, so he will not enjoy the blood spirit rice alone.

The plan is to give priority to supplying uncle and get his uncle’s family back on track.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan asked his uncle:

"Uncle, your illness is due to the decline of qi and blood, right?"

Uncle was stunned and nodded.

This was the diagnosis given by the doctor in the city. He said that he had injured his foundation before, which led to a deficiency of qi and blood, and his body gradually became weak.

"Since Blood Spirit Rice has the effect of strengthening the body, I suggest that Blood Spirit Rice should be given priority to Uncle to help him recover!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, especially the little aunt, whose face was filled with joy. Their family had been worried about this for a long time, and now they saw the hope of recovery, so they were naturally happy.

Father Jiang stood up and agreed: "That makes sense, I think it should be effective!"

Everyone knows that this Blood Spirit Rice is food, even if it has no effect, it is impossible to have a worse situation, at most diarrhea...

Uncle heard it and shook his hand: "No, no, it should be given priority to Brother Zhan and Brother Guang, after all, they have to work!"

Everyone pushed each other for a while, and finally Jiang Lan interrupted.

"Okay, wait until next year, when the Blood Spirit Rice has a bumper harvest, everyone can eat it, it's just a matter of time!"

"Besides, after Uncle recovers, he can return to the city and run a blacksmith shop, which is also an income for us!"

Then the distribution was decided, with priority given to Jiang Lan and Uncle.

Others eat it occasionally, just as a tonic.

As the New Year is approaching, tax collectors come to Wuhua Village.

This time, the Jiang family sent Jiang's father and second uncle.

The two wore slightly ragged old clothes, carried rice, paid taxes, and left without stopping.

The villagers looked pitiful, but they were glad for their decision in their hearts!

"Alas, Jiang Zhan still refuses to bow his head. Tell me, why is that? Is face really important!"

"Humph, they are dying for face and suffering in life, and they still dream of the glory of the Jiang family!"

"Ah? Was the Jiang family glorious before? When I came, weren't they all farming?"

"Grandfather Jiang Zhan, he used to be the sky of this piece!"

"Oh my god, so awesome!"

Jiang's father and uncle didn't hear the whispers of the villagers.

Jiang's family, Jiang Lan and uncle are exercising, naturally some exercises that Jiang Lan brought from his previous life!

"198, 199, 200..."

The voices of counting came one after another. When they counted to 200, the two stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to take a break.

"We are back!"

"......Dad, how is it?"

"Huo, my second brother and I's acting skills are absolutely real. Once we pay the tax, we are back!"

"Yes, and this dress is realistic enough!"

The two were in high spirits, and they were not in such a miserable state at all.

"That's good. After a few years, we won't be afraid of them anymore!"

Jiang Lan said as a matter of course, and everyone was not surprised. Now they basically treat Jiang Lan as an adult.

Jiang Lan has even become the leader of the crowd.

"Okay, uncle, let's practice!"

"Okay!"

The two took wooden sticks and started fighting in the open space.

Both of them were ruthless. After a while, they were bruised and swollen, which frightened Jiang's mother and aunt next to them.

"Okay, okay, stop fighting, stop it all!"

"What a mess!"

While saying this, he waited until the two stopped before going up to ask about their well-being.

Although the two of them were unruly and were just fighting each other.

But in Jiang Lan's view, fighting is: dodge attacks and hit the enemy.

So the two of them tried their best to find tricky angles, and hitting the other party was the victory. At the same time, they had to dodge and defend against the opponent's attacks.

Sometimes, even the three little ones got involved, throwing sandbags beside them, and the two dodged within the specified range.

Not to mention, the children played very enthusiastically, and asked the two to play with them from time to time.

The two of them also went from hitting 9 out of 10 sandbags at the beginning to dodging 5 or 6 out of 10 sandbags now.

It is obvious that I am more flexible and my eyes are sharper.

Dodge and defense are almost instinctive!

Now, Jiang Lan and his uncle, alone, can defeat Jiang's father and second uncle without any injuries!

Since Blood Spirit Rice can strengthen the body, it is natural to give full play to this strength.

In this dangerous world, with self-defense skills and a strong body, you can get by anywhere.

Apart from other things, if you want to go back to the city, you still have to overcome the robbers.

If you don't want your life to be in the hands of others, you naturally have to gain practical experience!

Life has returned to peace, and Jiang Lan is still growing.

For example, the [Fishing] skill has been upgraded!

[Fishing]: Minor Success (0%)

Branch Ability: Never Get Nothing

Jiang Lan was still looking forward to the branch ability... but it turned out to be this thing...

"I have Baixiang rice, but I never get nothing. What's the use of this thing!"

"Forget it, it's better this way. I can save some rice."

In addition to daily exercise and exchange, Jiang Lan would go fishing by the lake to cultivate his sentiments when he had time.

There were also many people fishing in winter, but no one came to talk to Jiang Lan anymore, and most of them ignored him.

Jiang Lan was also happy to be free.

The Jiang family lived a leisurely life.

But to outsiders, it was much more embarrassing.

"Have you heard? The Jiang family is in a very bad situation now. A group of people moved out of the village and built a large courtyard near the mountains."

"Ah, aren't they afraid of the wild animals in the mountains?"

"Well, in winter, wild animals also hibernate!"

"I heard that four families are crowded in one courtyard. Tsk tsk, it's uncomfortable to think about it!"

"Yes, I heard that they can't even get enough to eat. If there wasn't a little prodigy fishing, they might starve to death!"

"Alas, it's not easy to catch fish now. I haven't caught any for several days!"

At this time, a group of hungry and thin people were queuing in the village square, talking to each other.

"It's time for dinner!"

At this time, a sound came from the direction of the Li family's mansion.

A group of people hurriedly lined up neatly, not fighting or grabbing, otherwise they would be led out by the inspection team and lined up at the end.

"If you ask me, Master Li is the best. Look, in this winter, he is still giving away porridge for free. Without Master Li, how could we survive!"

"I wonder if Master Li's rice is enough?"

"Don't worry! It's definitely enough!" The man looked confident, which aroused everyone's curiosity!

He didn't keep people waiting: "This is thanks to the prodigy of the Jiang family. The pumps imitated by Master Li are selling well in the city. We have no shortage of money and rice!"

"So that's the case. Then we have to thank the prodigy Jiang!"

"Hush! Hush! You don't want to live anymore. You must remember! That thing was invented by the Li family! If the supervision team knows what you said just now, you will have a hard time!"

The one who just shouted immediately covered his mouth and nodded to show that he understood.

Most of the villagers felt sorry for Jiang Lan. They all thought that Jiang Zhan was too proud and implicated Jiang Lan.

On this side, the villagers lined up in the square to wait for porridge.

In the courtyard, everyone sat at a round table, and the pot was steaming.

From time to time, he took out a fish fillet, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"Huh, huh... As expected, we still have to eat hot pot in the winter!"

Jiang Lan sighed.

Everyone was eating happily, and the three little ones couldn't stop eating.

"Don't worry, there's more! Your brother Lan caught a lot!"

"I don't know what Lan's brain is thinking. This novel way of eating is not bad. Huh, huh... delicious!"

The second uncle took a sip of wine and a bite of fish fillet, and he ate happily.

In this winter, the family gathered together to eat a hot pot. Nothing is more heartwarming than this...
