After lunch the next day, he returned from the Lin family's residence and started his vegetable planting.
Jiang Kevin changed into a worn-out set of clothes and carried his hoe to the front yard to loosen the ground.
The yard was not small. Jiang Kevin would not use all his land to grow vegetables. There was a large piece of land in front of the house for practicing martial arts, and the rest was for growing vegetables.
According to what Guo Caiyun had taught him last time, Jiang Kevin split the ground into many rows, which made it easier to water and manage.
Guo Caiyun reared the seedlings first before planting them separately. This benefit was the saving of the seeds.
However, there were only two rows of seeds, and there were many more. She calculated the distance and directly planted the seed.
When the seedlings were ready, they would pull out more and fill in the missing parts.
In addition to the cucumber, Jiang had also planted a row of spring onions and a row of rapeseed.
After planting the vegetables, Jiang Kevin returned to his room to continue researching on the array formation.
"I understand!" Jiang Chen snapped his fingers excitedly.
After so many days of research, Jiang Kevin finally comprehended the first array formation.
"Spiritual Concentration Formation!"
As the name implied, the Spirit Convergence Array was able to gather the world's spirit energy.
The legacy's description stated that the Spiritual Concentration Formation was usually used to assist people in their cultivation.
However, Jiang Chen did not dare to easily arrange a Spiritual Concentration Formation for himself. Who knew if he was gathering turbid air or spiritual energy in a modern era where environmental pollution was serious.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. The Spirit Convergence Array also had another function, and that was to nurture medicinal ingredients.
Now that there are some vegetables growing in the yard, why not experiment with them first?
I'll do it if I want to.
Of course, the best carrier of a formation was jade, but other than that, everything else was just like walking a formation, including people who were the leaders of everything else.
For example, Shaolin's Eighteen Arhat Formation, and Wudang's Seven Stages Sword Formation.
Back then, Jiang Kevin, who had achieved mastery of his martial arts, had suffered at Wu Dang's Seven Severing Swords Formation.
At that time, the martial arts of Wu Dang's new generation of seven were very different from that of Jiang Kevin. Let alone seven, even if seventeen people came together, they would still not be a match for Jiang Kevin.
However, when the seven of them set up the sword formation, they were immediately reborn. Jiang Chen nearly had the urge to swallow his hatred under the sword.
Plants could set up formations, such as the Peach Blossom Island formation.
As long as a person entered, they would be confused and unable to find the exit.
Houses could be used as a formation, such as the Zhuge Eight Trigrams Village.
Even in the hands of experts, high mountains and rivers could be used as formations.
Of course, Jiang Chen was still far from such a realm.
It would require a detailed analysis of the formation master's problems to determine where and how to set up the formation.
And Jiang Chen did not have any jade in his hand right now, but there were quite a number of stones outside the wall.
Standing up and patting the dust on his hands, Jiang Kevin heaved a sigh of relief. After an hour of hard work, the array was finally complete.
The actual arrangement of the array was completely different from the one in his head. It had to be adjusted according to the actual situation. The last attempt took only a few minutes, and the previous hour was spent experimenting.
The inheritance did not mention anything about it. What Jiang Chen did not know was that in the history of formation masters, from comprehending formations to successfully setting up formations, there were almost no such short periods of time.
A qualified array master must not only have a strong comprehension ability, but also a strong practical ability. But for the vast majority of people, these two abilities were not even.
It was just like how the vast majority of Chinese students had high scores while the vast majority of American students had high abilities.
Here, "score" refers to the score, and "can" refers to the ability to act.
And a person with two balanced abilities was not as strong as Jiang Chen.
If other array masters were to know of Jiang Kevin's achievements, they would definitely be envious and jealous.
After setting up the array, Jiang Chen placed it aside and boiled the medicinal herbs in a bucket filled with water before heading to the Lin Clan for a meal.
The night passed in silence. Before dawn the next day, Jiang Kevin went to the mountain to practice, as usual.
When she came back into the yard, she was startled.
The cucumber seeds that had just been planted yesterday had filled up the entire bed today, and a few had even climbed onto the cement road that led to the room.
Even though Jiang Chen had never planted a cucumber before, he knew that the growth speed of this cucumber was too fast.
Squatting on the ground, Jiang Chen pulled up a cucumber vine. It was probably more than a foot long. She carefully recalled the words of the salesperson who had sold her the seeds. Usually, it took five to seven days for the cucumber seeds to germinate. Even soaking it in warm water for ten to twelve hours before it sprouts, it takes three days to sprout.
Next, he looked at the small spring onion and rapeseed beside him. The small spring onion was as thick as his pinky. Rapeseed fresh and tender oil green, just look have appetite.
Jiang Kevin hesitated for a moment as he reached out his hand to pinch a leaf of rape. He held the broken wound close to his nose and sniffed it. It didn't have any taste, but it was close to the taste of grass.
Jiang Chen was relieved by half. Generally, poisonous plants would have a pungent smell after they were split apart. Although it wasn't absolute, it was mostly so.
After putting the leaf into his mouth and slowly chewing on it, Jiang Kevin's eyes turned brighter and brighter.
It was refreshing and delicious. It was definitely delicious.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was certain that this Spiritual Concentration Formation was truly effective.
"Wen Wen!"
The excited Jiang Kevin jumped in fright as he casually threw the leaf on the ground. She rushed to the door, opened it, went out, and closed it.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
"I went to the fields with your uncle and grandma and left some food for you, so you can go eat by yourself. He didn't need to wash the bowl after eating. He just needed to lock the door. Here is the key. "
Jiang Chen took the key and said, "I understand."
Watching his aunt leave, Jiang Kevin heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to return to the yard.
She stood by the side of the vegetable patch, hands in her pockets, silent for a moment, then lifted her foot and kicked the stone aside.
Instantly, a wave of energy that was invisible to the naked eye began to distort rapidly, before finally disappearing from the world.
Having personally experienced this, Jiang Kevin's understanding of formations deepened yet again.
Before he found a way to reduce the effects, the Spirit Convergence Array couldn't be left in the yard. The vegetables in the yard could not be left like this either.
That afternoon, Guo Caiyun came home to find a snakeskin bag of rape and seven or eight bundles of onions.
Guo Caiyun did not need to think to know who the people who brought all these over were, "Wenwen, why did you buy so many dishes. There's only five of us, and there's so many of us. Even if we break down, we won't be able to finish all of them. "
Jiang Kevin rubbed his nose and said, "Ahem, I saw that the rape and onion are pretty good, and thinking that they are regular dishes anyway, I decided to make them round." If you can't eat it, you can just give it to the neighbors. "
Guo Caiyun got Jiang Kevin to help her move it to the kitchen, "Sure."
"Auntie, let's have a taste of rape tonight."
"Sure, help me pick the dishes." I'm going to change. "
Jiang Kevin went to the kitchen to find a large basin and began choosing dishes.
There was no fertilizer in the vegetable garden, nor was there time to apply the medicine. She only poured water over it once, and then she pulled it out. Jiang had previously chopped off the root of the rape, but now all he needed to do was to remove the dust in the water.
That night, Guo Caiyun made a big pot of mushroom rape with the mushrooms harvested by Jiang Kevin. She peeled several more scallions and carried them to the table with the soy sauce.
In addition, there was also a Red Braised Fish. Its color was bright, attracting people to eat. This was Guo Caiyun's signature dish, and it was eaten up every time.
However, Guo Caiyun didn't expect that the Red Braised Fish would taste the same as before. It was only a few bites before it was abandoned.
A large pot of mushroom rape was swept away.
Linde picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth. Before he could chew, he went to pick them up again. This time, his chopsticks were empty. When he looked again, there was nothing left in the pot. The last rape had been obtained by Lin Fengmao.
Lin Fengmao caught the last rape, beaming with happiness, as if he had won a big prize, "I'm sorry, I won't stand on ceremony."
Lin De was infuriated, he slapped the table and said, "You unfilial son, do you know what it means to respect the elderly and cherish the young?"
Jiang Chen nearly choked. He never expected that the usually pedantic Linde would be competing for food like a child.
As the old saying goes, old kids, old kids, isn't it?
Jiang Kevin reached out his hand and gave a similarly neglected scallion to Lin De, "Grandpa, try this. It tastes pretty good too."
Ling De looked at the scallion stuffed into his hand and was stunned. He wasn't an idiot, of course he could tell that his granddaughter wasn't as good to him as her daughter-in-law. It wasn't that he didn't feel sad, but he didn't know how to change it.
He didn't expect that Wen Wen would actually respond to him today. Not to mention giving him scallions, he even wanted to eat the explosives.
Without dipping into the sauce, Lin De took a bite of the scallion. Swish, tears streamed down his face.
The Lin Family members and Jiang Chen were shocked.
Guo Caiyun quickly passed a piece of paper to Lin De.
Lin Fengmao blinked, "Mom, what happened to my dad?"
Nie Zedong shook her head with a smile and said, "It's fine, he was touched."
Jiang Chen never expected that Lin De would be so touched after just giving him a scallion. She decided to be nicer to this frail old man in the future.
Without waiting for Jiang Kevin to finish his thoughts, he saw Lin De take a bite of the steamed bun and then the scallion. The steamed bun was eaten one bite at a time and it was soon finished. He reached for another and continued chewing.
"Satisfying. Satisfying. "Hiss, this is so spicy and fun."
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. What else could they not understand? Lin De's tears were not tears of gratitude, but tears that were spicy.
Lin Fengmao asked Nie Caijin, "Mom, isn't it that my dad doesn't like to eat spring onion?"
Nie Caijin was also surprised, "That's right."
Even if it was really moving, he would have just eaten the piece given by Wen Wen. Why was he still going to get the second piece? Then the only explanation was that the scallions were truly delicious.
At this point, all three members of the Lin Clan stretched out their hands, took one each, and started chewing on it.
And then there were three teary people at the table, stuffing spring onions into their mouths.
After eating her fill, Guo Caiyun wiped her tears with a piece of paper and asked curiously, "Wenwen, where did you buy this leek? It tastes so good."
Jiang Kevin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a stall by the roadside. I saw him leaving in a hurry, so I decided to make a circle for him." I heard that there's an urgent matter at home, so I urged him to return. "
Listening to Jiang Chen's answer, Guo Caiyun nodded in disappointment, "Forget it, we might be able to meet again in the future."
As for what they said before, they would give some to the neighbors. Guo Caiyun said they didn't have enough to eat.
