Chapter 3 Waterwheel with Green Grass

In the evening Zheng Qiu returned to the medicine house, and the moment he entered the door, the strong smell of meat entered his nose.

"Wow, the master actually roasted meat!" Zheng Qiu threw away the basket and rushed straight to the table. Sure enough, there was a large pot of meat on the table.

He stood on the chair, propped his hands on the table, and looked into the basin, it was braised in soy sauce. The square pieces of meat in the basin are fat and thin, red and oily, and the crystal color seems to drip juice at any time. The meat was covered with chopped green onions and unknown spices, which caught Zheng Qiu's gluttons all the way to his throat.

"Hiss!" Zheng Qiu took a deep breath, and reached into the basin to grab the meat.

With a crisp sound, Zheng Qiu clutched his hands and shrank back on the chair, looking at the master with aggrieved expression.

"Master, have you forgotten what I said? Wash your hands before eating!" The master said fiercely, took Zheng Qiu's hand and rubbed it for him, "Look at your dirty hands, if you have diarrhea, you will suffer."

"Master, don't rub it anymore, it doesn't hurt. I'm going to wash my hands now, wash it and eat it."

"You are so promising, why are you still thinking about meat?"

In order to better enhance the effect of cultivation and speed up the cultivation speed, most practitioners avoid fireworks and food, and practitioners in the breakthrough period pay special attention to this point. Only those cultivators who give up continuing to practice or who have exhausted their potential and cannot make progress will be intoxicated by the taste of fireworks.

Because of this, only Zheng Qiu and his disciples cook and eat on Yuexi Mountain every day, and most of the meals they eat are light. It was rare for the master to burn the meat today, it was almost New Year's Eve, Zheng Qiu ate so much that he almost swallowed his tongue.

The meat in the basin was about to bottom out, Zheng Qiu remembered the silk pouch in his bosom, wiped his shiny mouth, took out the pouch from his bosom, and handed it to the master: "Master, look at this."

The master opened the pouch and took out the contents and approached the candlestick, then his eyes lit up: "The seeds of Yi Luohua! Zheng Qiu, where did you get them?"

"Master, don't look at me like that, I won't do bad things." Zheng Qiu said, while chopping meat into the bowl, "Today, a senior sister came to the medicine garden, she asked the master, and asked the master to plant Yiluo flowers. The senior sister said that she had come to the medicine house, but she couldn't find the master. I told her that I could grow it, so she gave me the Yi Luo flower, and I planted three plants."

"Since we've planted them, why don't we plant them all? What are you going to do with the seeds?" Zheng Qiu chewed the meat in his mouth, and replied vaguely: "Master, have you forgotten? You never taught me how to plant Yiluohua seeds. "

"Really?" The master held his chin to recall, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall anything, "Then master will teach you after dinner."

The next day, as soon as the sun showed half of his face, Zheng Qiu rushed to the medicine garden with a basket on his back. Stepping through the thin morning mist, he recalled what his master taught him last night while walking.

The seed coat of Yiluohua is very resilient, and only with sufficient aura can the buds have enough strength to drill through the seed coat.

If you want to grow it in the medicine garden, you need to cut the seed coat with a knife, but you can only cut the seed coat at the bud position. This is a delicate job. To use a knife on this big bean seed, patience is also very important when the light is good during the day.

Arriving at the medicine garden, it was just when the sun was rising and the mist cleared. Zheng Qiu moved the wooden bench to the edge of the garden and found a stone to sit on. He took out the seeds and put them on the bench, he gripped the stainless steel carving knife and started looking for buds.

The hand must be steady, the knife must be accurate, the knife must be moved slowly, and the knife must be pushed vigorously. According to the master's words, Zheng Qiu moved the handle of the knife a little bit without daring to vent his breath. Seeing buds, stop here, lift the knife, Zheng Qiu quickly raised the hand holding the carving knife, and it was done.

He took a deep breath and let it out again, it was really difficult. Just now, the strength in the hand did not continue well, and it was interrupted once in the middle, and the tip of the knife almost hurt the bud. After collecting the seeds and shaking his hands, Zheng Qiu decided to stand up and take a rest, there was no rush for this.

Hey, are you dazzled? Zheng Qiu rubbed his eyes, ran to the side of the ditch to touch it.

no water! what happened? He raised his heart all of a sudden. When I first arrived in the morning, I went to the river to see that the waterwheel was fine. No, I have to go and see,

If there is no medicine in the water garden, there will be problems.

Zheng Qiu hurriedly ran to the river, bypassing the bushes, and he saw the waterwheel stopped turning from a long distance away. The water truck stopped! This made him even more anxious.

Rushing to the side of the waterwheel, Zheng Qiu first pushed hard, but the waterwheel remained motionless. what happened?

He looked up at the waterwheel, his eyes straightened the wooden poles, and there was no damage. Is it stuck?

He walked to the side and looked carefully, and sure enough, there was a grass plant as long as his arm stuck there at the intersection of the waterwheel and the canal.

Can grass get stuck in a waterwheel? Zheng Qiu raised his head to look at the two-foot-tall waterwheel, then lowered his head to look at the grass, and twisted his leg hard. Oops, it hurts, I didn't dream.

Regardless of that much, it is important to let the waterwheel turn.

Zheng Qiu rolled up his trouser legs, stepped into the river, supported the waterwheel with one hand, and pulled the grass with the other. One, two, pull, one, two, pull, this grass is like tendon, you can't stop pulling.

What kind of grass is this?

He let go of the hand holding the water wheel, grabbed the grass with both hands at the same time, and stepped on the wooden pole of the water wheel with both feet. One, two, three, hard, one, two, three, hard, plop, the grass was finally pulled out. Zheng Qiu fell into the river in response.

Cough cough, he raised his head and choked on two sips of water, then hurriedly climbed up the river bank with all four limbs. Fortunately, the river is not in a hurry, otherwise I would be washed all the way home.

After wringing out his soaked clothes, he looked up at the water wheel, turned around, and the river water was poured into the ditch again with the sound of creaking. That grass! Zheng Qiu suddenly remembered the grass stuck in the waterwheel just now.

He looked left and right, and finally found it in the grass by the ditch. Picking up the grass, Zheng Qiu tore it hard at the grass leaves, the grass leaves were twisted into twists, and when he let go, the grass leaves returned to their original shape, really like beef tendon.

He brought the grass to his nose and smelled it. It had a faint herbal smell, but he couldn't tell what kind of herb it was.

"It's so strange, I've never seen such a thing before, maybe the master knows what it is." Zheng Qiu said to himself, picked up the grass and walked back to the medicine garden. Although he didn't know what the grass was, Zheng Qiu still found a corner in the medicine garden to plant the grass according to his master's habit of planting medicine. When the master comes here, let him have a look.

Back at the house, Zheng Qiu changed out of his soaked clothes, rummaged through the box to find a short jacket and put it on. Rubbing his hands together, he went back to the stool and continued to process the seeds of Yiluohua.

He only found out last night that that senior sister is the most powerful apprentice of Elder Yundian, and everyone in the sect calls her Senior Sister. This elder sister seldom appears in the sect, and it is said that she has been practicing outside. The eldest sister Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, only she is looking for someone, no one is looking for her. The master said that every time she came back, she had something important to do, and she didn't know what it was this time.

Zheng Qiu felt terrified at the thought of planting herbs for such a powerful person. The master is also really big, if he didn't plant it well, wouldn't he be finished.

Calm down, calm down, he shook his head vigorously, don't think about it, the more you think about it, the worse it will be for this kind of skin, Zheng Qiu blinked his eyes and tried to focus on the carving knife in his hand.
