From wilderness to palace

Chapter 3 Giants and Giant Babies

Bracken, in fact, is the collective name for the tender seedlings of ferns. Many people think of it as an edible wild vegetable.There are edible bracken in the south and north, and cucumber fragrance is the best-smelling and good-tasting kind of bracken.

For the villagers who have lived in the mountains for many years, although cucumbers taste good, they went to the mountains to harvest them in the early years, only to improve their food.But in the past few years, villagers have gone to the mountains to harvest cucumber fragrance, mostly for making money.

Especially after the beginning of spring every year, when the first crop of cucumbers in the mountains is fragrant, the price is the most expensive at this time, and it can be sold for at least a few yuan per catty or even higher.And in the past few days, it was the time when the first crop of Cucumber Fragrant was unearthed in the forest near Kaoshantun.

Villagers who have dealt with wild vegetables like Cucumber Xiang for many years know that the harvesting period of this thing is only about half a month every year.Once it is not harvested in time, the cucumber fragrance that grows rapidly when it is unearthed will soon become a weed.

There seems to be only one word difference between wild vegetables and weeds, but the villagers like the former, but no one would care about the latter!
The villagers who were summoned to go into the mountain to find someone naturally didn't have dinner.Originally, Liu Shoushan wanted to let Liu Yaozu have dinner at his home, but Liu Yaozu also politely refused.In the end, she was dragged by the fifth aunt and sent a bag of freshly harvested cucumber fragrance.

Seeing the fragrance of at least two or three catties of fresh cucumbers in the bag, Liu Yaozu, who hadn't tasted this kind of wild vegetable for many years, naturally wouldn't refuse it.When I got home, I started to process the freshly harvested cucumber fragrance.

In Liu Yaozu's opinion, most ferns look similar, but the smell of cucumbers after being broken is similar to that of cucumbers after being broken.Perhaps because of this, many rural people in the north call this kind of bracken 'cucumber fragrance'.

Ordinary bracken, of course, does not have this taste.The important thing is that wild vegetables such as cucumbers are fragrant, and they taste delicious.Paired with a little smoked bacon in winter, this home-cooked dish is delicious and delicious.

It is clear that the fragrance of cucumber should not last for a long time. Although it can be preserved for a longer time by drying it in water, the taste is definitely not as good as freshly picked.Liu Yaozu cleaned all the cucumber fragrances he brought back, and then fried them with bacon on a large plate.

After fetching a bottle of beer and a bowl of rice from the rice cooker, Liu Yaozu, who was sitting alone at the table of the Eight Immortals, also said with emotion: "If my mother is here, I will definitely have a good appetite when I see this dish!"

Even if he went back to the village for a while, when he was alone, Liu Yaozu would think of his mother who depended on him, and his grandparents who loved him since childhood.In contrast, he doesn't have much impression of his father, and he can't even remember his face clearly.

Pick up the fried cucumber and put it in his mouth. The fragrance and crisp taste also made Liu Yaozu very satisfied. He said with a smile: "It seems that I, a giant baby in life, now not only know how to do carpentry, but also cook. They're all in the room."

Liu Yaozu, who was drinking and eating food, looked at the virtual screen that appeared in his mind. The recognition value that was originally so small has increased by a few.Liu Yaozu also knew who contributed to the extra recognition values.

Seeing the increased recognition value, Liu Yaozu also said helplessly: "There are less than 300 people in the village, old and young. After returning to the village for two months, I have gained 150 five recognition values, which means that I have been recognized by more than half of the villagers.

If I want to rely on the recognition value to improve my life skills, I'm afraid it will be far away.But if I really want to give up such a peaceful life in order to earn recognition points, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.Forget it, this system is a support after all! "

Liu Yaozu, who gave up his career in the imperial capital and his superior life, felt that he seemed omnipotent in his work after losing his dear mother.But in life outside of work, he needs his mother to take care of him like a giant baby.

A giant in work, a giant baby in life!
Liu Yaozu, who came to this conclusion, also realized that he had been accustomed to his mother's care since he was a child, but he never thought that he should learn to take care of his mother when he grew up.This kind of care is not so-called monetary giving.

After losing his mother and falling into endless self-blame and guilt, Liu Yaozu woke up from a coma, but found that there was an extra system in his mind called "Little Master of Life".According to the introduction of the system, it comes from a space-time product called Earth.

If his mother had been there before, perhaps Liu Yaozu would be very happy to get such a miraculous system.But after losing his mother, he even had the idea of ​​being world-weary, and felt that it was meaningless to live alone.

From the very beginning, I completely ignored the existence of the little master of life, and now I use it to pass the time.Recalling that he tried to learn egg fried rice at the beginning, and through the demonstration teaching found on the Internet, he fried a plate of four different dishes that were hard to swallow.

Even so, when Liu Yaozu saw that he triggered the culinary skills of the Xiaodaren system, he felt very incredible.Even if the scrambled egg fried rice is ugly and unpalatable, the cooking skill value is constantly improving.

From culinary novice to apprentice, and now the junior is about to be full.Although countless ingredients were wasted, the dishes he cooked now, in Liu Yaozu's opinion, should be similar to the chefs in small restaurants.

In addition to triggering cooking skills, Liu Yaozu, who went home to renovate the old house, also successfully triggered the 'carpentry skills'.Starting from Xiaobai, he has gradually grown into the current junior carpenter.It also becomes more flexible with some woodworking tools.

It is with the assistance of the "Little Master of Life" system that he still enjoys working with the dark wood every day in the old house.Every time a work or room is renovated, he feels a sense of accomplishment.

"If I let the programmers in the company know that I am now doing carpentry, which is more fulfilling than coding computer codes, I am afraid they will think I am crazy! But only I know, I am enjoying my life at the moment!"

No urging, no interruptions, no regard for the opinions of partners or investors.Back to his old house in Kaoshantun, everything here is decided by Liu Yaozu.If you feel tired and don't want to work, then move the recliner to the yard and sleep until you wake up naturally.

After eating, Liu Yaozu, who was slightly drunk after drinking a bottle of beer, started to turn on the computer he brought back from the imperial capital.Compared with most of the villagers who like to watch TV, he is more fond of computers, through which he can learn about the outside world.

Occasionally, I have time to deal with emails from the company.But more time, he watches TV series or movies through the computer.This kind of leisure life was something he had seldom had time to experience before.

Looking at the so-called idol TV drama recently updated on the video site, Liu Yaozu was also speechless: "This plot is so stupid, I don't understand why it still has such a high click-through rate? I don't know, will the Earth TV drama be the same!"

Regarding the sudden appearance of the "Little Master of Life" system, although Liu Yaozu couldn't figure out when this thing would appear.But he felt that this thing might have been in his mind or consciousness since he was born.

However, he had never triggered the system before, and even regarded his youthful intelligence as a natural talent.It was not until his mother left and Liu Yaozu tried to live alone that he realized that he was not as smart as he imagined.

Without his mother's care, his life became a mess.Because of this, he had the idea that he was the so-called giant baby of life, thus triggering the conditions to turn on the system.If the system had appeared earlier, perhaps his life would have been different.

"But in this world, what if there are so many what-ifs? Cherish the moment, at least I believe that my grandparents and parents should all want me to live well. Besides, my mother also hopes that when I grow up, I can continue my father's blood!"

Thinking of my mother and grandma, they all said that they were the single heirs of the three generations of the Liu family.In the past, Liu Yaozu felt that getting married and having children was too far away from him.Thinking about it now, he was a little too naive back then!
From the family he was born in to his current name, he is connected with the family by blood.How can he give up some responsibilities if he doesn't want to bear them?Home, how can you call it home when you are alone?
