In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 135 Germination

Does life not necessarily require marriage?

Wu Yun and the other women didn't quite agree with this. People of their age usually have their values ​​set in stone and are hard to change with a few words. For them, marriage and having children are essential life choices.

On the contrary, Chen Lian looked thoughtful, as if she was seriously considering what Chen Dao had said.

However, Chen Dao was just saying it casually. Soon, Chen Dao turned around and went back into the house, leaving the backyard to Chen Lian and the others.

Outside Chen Dao's house, villagers were orderly receiving steamed buns. After receiving the buns, they wore satisfied smiles and carried their farm tools to the fields to work.

The Chen Dao family, who had just finished preparing breakfast, were eating in the kitchen. Of course, there were not only the Chen Dao family in the kitchen at this time, but also Ding Xiaohua, the Chen Da family who came to help, the two aunts and their children, and finally Chen Dao's bodyguard Chen Cheng.

"elder brother!"

Sitting next to Chen Dao, Chen Fei gently poked Chen Dao with her index finger and said proudly, "Look, I'm wearing new clothes!"

Hearing this, the adults sitting around the table all laughed. The child's boasting was not annoying, but rather quite cute.

In fact, it wasn't just Chen Fei who changed into new clothes; Chen Da's son, Chen Tiedan, and the children from his two uncles' families also changed into new outfits, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Brother saw it!"

Chen Dao smiled and patted Chen Fei's head. Actually, it wasn't just the children who had new clothes; the adults did too. However, because the adults needed to work and were prone to getting their new clothes dirty, they didn't wear them.

"elder brother!"

Chen Fei looked at the food on the table with curiosity and asked, "What is this?"

Today's breakfast was clearly different from usual. In the past, it was either steamed buns or white rice, but today it was... noodles.

Yes, it's noodles.

Chen Dao, who was getting a little tired of eating steamed buns and white rice every day, taught Li Ping and the others how to make noodles last night. Li Ping and the others kneaded the dough according to Chen Dao's method, then rolled it into a flat shape, and finally cut it into long strips of noodles.

Because it's handmade, the noodles in the bowl are a bit thick, but they still look pretty good.

"This is noodles."

Chen Dao replied with a smile that he knew noodles in this world were generally called soup noodles, but since he had traveled from Earth, he preferred to call them noodles.

Noodle?

Everyone secretly remembered the name. They had never eaten soup noodles before, so since Chen Dao said it was noodles, then it must be noodles.

Chen Cheng picked up the bowl of noodles, took a sip of the soup, and his face immediately showed surprise.

The soup looks clear, but it tastes surprisingly good. First, it's very salty, and second, there are some beaten egg flowers in the soup, giving it a unique egg flavor.

Chen Cheng picked up another clump of noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The noodles also had an egg flavor, which was very noticeable to Chen Cheng, who rarely ate meat.

"Cheng-ge, how does it taste?"

Li Ping asked with a smile, as the maker of the egg noodles, she was very interested in knowing Chen Cheng's opinion on the egg noodles.

"taste good!"

Chen Cheng gave a thumbs-up with a simple and honest expression and said, "Auntie's cooking skills are top-notch!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping's smile widened, and the others also began to enjoy the noodles with smiles.

For Chen Dao, the noodles, lacking seasoning and oil, were barely edible. However, the others clearly did not think so. For everyone present, anything that could fill them up would taste good.

Not to mention, this egg noodle soup also contains eggs and a lot of salt, which is enough to satisfy them.

"These noodles taste really good, just like steamed buns, but they don't make my mouth dry like steamed buns do!"

"Yes! After drinking this noodle soup, I felt warm all over."

"Me too!"

"..."

Just as everyone was enjoying noodles in the kitchen, Chen He, who should have been directing everyone's work in the fields, hurriedly arrived at Chen Dao's door: "Brother Dao, Brother Dao, I have good news!"

"The village chief's voice?"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Dao didn't think much of it and went straight to the front yard, where he saw the village chief, Chen He, who was over fifty years old, panting heavily, but his face was full of surprise.

"Brother Dao, the wheat in the field has sprouted!"

Upon seeing Chen Dao, Chen He immediately spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao was taken aback, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's sprouted?"

Hearing the commotion, Chen Da and the others came out of the kitchen, their faces showing surprise and delight.

In fact, Chen He was not the only one worried that the wheat he had sown would not grow. Even Chen Dao's family and Chen Da and others were extremely anxious, fearing that the wheat would not grow and the efforts of the whole village would be wasted.

Fortunately... the wheat has sprouted!

"Yes!"

Chen He said with a big smile, "I just saw that some wheat has sprouted in the field, so I rushed back to tell you guys this great news."

For Chen He, the successful germination of the wheat was indeed fantastic news.

Because this means that crops have been successfully grown in the field, and it also means...

From now on, the villagers of Chenjia Village can continue to work for Chen Dao without worrying about running out of food!

"Brother Dao, let's go take a look!"

Li Ping said urgently, and was about to set off to check.

"Wait first!"

Chen Dao called out to Li Ping, went to the backyard and led out Da Huang and Xiao Huang, then quickly walked with the others towards the farmland.

In the fields belonging to Chenjia Village, the villagers were not working in the fields, but standing on the edge of the fields, gazing at the sparse green shoots sprouting from the fields. The joy on their faces was beyond words!

"Brother Dao didn't lie to us, this weather really can grow crops!"

Chen Gou looked at the tender green in the field with a face full of joy. The successful sprouting of wheat was undoubtedly an extremely pleasant surprise for him, because the field had grown grain, so he and his parents could continue to work for Chen Dao and continue to have enough steamed buns every day!

"Great! We don't have to worry about Brother Dao not letting us work anymore!"

"Haha! We can continue eating steamed buns from now on!"

"The wheat sprouted just in time!"

"..."

The villagers stared with shining eyes at the sparse, tender green shoots in the field, as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

In fact, these newly sprouted wheat plants are indeed no different from rare treasures!

after all……

Most of the villagers are elderly farmers, and as such, they know how precious crops that can grow during the cold winter months are.
