Chapter 95 Labor
Today is a bright autumn day with bright sunshine. The shadows of trees with golden spots float on the ground. The branches sway in the wind and the cicadas sing loudly among the branches. Butterflies and bees dance in the garden. This is a very beautiful autumn scene. Autumn is the harvest season, which means abundant results. When Xiaozhen thought of this, she felt very bad.
Xiao Zhen was sitting in the garden, less than 30 meters away from him was his scent fruit farm. A few weeks ago, the scent fruit farm was thriving, but since a damn infatuated female cat peed on him (who knows how long), his scent fruit farm has been in decline.
Although he stopped the uncivilized behavior of the female cat Sweet Bean and the clay man worked hard every day, the situation of the Scented Fruit was still very bad.
Now the stems of the fragrant fruit are drooping, the leaves are yellowing, and the newly formed small fruits are shriveled and dark. All this shows that he has failed in his farming career, and the fragrant fruit is about to wither and die.
Xiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh at his farm. Although Mr. Cat and Captain Ban said that they were looking forward to a bumper harvest of his sweet-smelling fruit, now that the sweet-smelling fruit had suffered such a disaster, his two companions not only did not empathize with him, but were also very excited, with an asshole attitude of watching a good show.
After thinking about it, he felt that the person mainly responsible was Mr. Cat. It was because of Mr. Cat's fault that the female cat Tiandou came to his house, so Mr. Cat must take full responsibility.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cat is ignoring the meaningless and stupid provocation of the pension.
As far as native cats are concerned, Pensioner is quite smart. He has always believed that if he treats his cook well, he will eat better. In his eyes, Fang Ziwei is his good cook and the food he gives is very good. Since he entered the Yan family, he has keenly realized that the person at the top of the food chain in this family is his mother An Yuan, and taking down An's mother and turning her into his cook is crucial to his diet and life.
So, the pensioner did not hesitate to use the trick of "how to get a good cook in a short time" on An Yuan. To be specific, there are three tricks in total. The first is rubbing, the second is rolling on the belly, and the third is meowing softly.
In the past, pensions had always been invincible with these three tricks. And within a few minutes, An Yuan was easily captured by pensions and became its loyal cook.
Pension was very satisfied with his victory. It would have been better if An Yuan hadn't dressed him in those strange clothes.
After the Yan family consolidated its position, Pension Fund naturally noticed its number one enemy - Mr. Cat.
Pension admits that when he first saw Mr. Cat, he was a little afraid of him. This was his subconscious feeling. Pension had a short stray experience when he was young, and experienced many street wars and garbage can wars among stray cats. He clearly knows which cats should not be messed with and which cats are just for show.
Mr. Cat is obviously the kind of person who should never be messed with.
Pension funds are smart, and they won't challenge others beyond their capabilities. In a family, as long as they can keep a firm grip on the cook, they win.
But now things are not going according to its idea. An Yuan is indeed very loyal to him, feeding him attentively and giving him massages. But as soon as Mr. Cat appears in front of An Yuan, An Yuan's loyalty is immediately thrown away. She will suddenly pull out her mobile phone and take a lot of photos of Mr. Cat, or throw away her pension and sneak up on Mr. Cat and try to hug him.
This hurt the pension. Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. An Yuan's behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal. No, it can't be called a betrayal. In any case, An Yuan is its cook, its current food source, and its support.
So Pension decided to show off his status in the family in front of Mr. Cat.
For example, when eating, it should be the first one.
For example, it is the only one that has the privilege of sitting on An Yuan's lap.
For example, as long as it is in the room, it is the absolute center.
For example, just a few meows from it can make An Yuan and Yan Zhu scream "Ahhh!" It's such a cute special charm.
After showing off in front of Mr. Cat a few times, Mr. Cat always walked past it without even looking at it, with an expression of "You're so annoying" on his face.
This has led to increasing dissatisfaction with pensions.
"That cat is provoking you again." Captain Ban said to Mr. Cat.
Mr. Cat looked like he didn't even want to pay attention to Captain Madara as he looked like he was wasting his time.
Farmer Xiaozhen is looking for it for something right now.
"You must be responsible for my scent fruit." Xiao Zhen threw the responsibility to it as soon as he opened his mouth.
It immediately retorted: "Your fruit is not suitable for the local climate."
Xiao Zhen quickly showed a series of photos of the lush scented fruits in the past month, pointing out that if it weren't for Sweet Bean, his farm would not have been completely destroyed. "You have to be responsible for me." He insisted, obviously wanting to get to the end.
Mr. Cat thought about it and decided to spare some of his precious time to save Xiaozhen's farm.
After digging a little soil under the fragrant smelling fruit and analyzing a bunch of data in the experiment, Mr. Mao went to look up some theoretical books on the fragrant smelling fruit. After half a day of research, temporary agronomist Mr. Mao made a judgment: to save this batch of fragrant smelling fruits, it is necessary to fundamentally change their soil environment and apply some special fertilizers.
"so?"
"I ordered about 30 kilograms of soil from the best farm in the country. There are also ten boxes of special fertilizer for the fruit. It's enough for you."
"When will it arrive?"
"I've added the fastest expedited fee. It will definitely arrive in the next two days."
Xiao Zhen rekindled his hope for the farm. To him, this was the best news since the chaotic faction war.
In the next two days, Xiao Zhen would happily sit in the garden every day, staring at his fragrant smelling fruits, looking forward to their revival.
"Why did your brother go to the garden again?" An Yuan asked Yan Zhu, "What is he looking at?"
Yan Zhu lowered her voice and said, "I think this is a way for him to relax."
"Ah?" An Yuan immediately became nervous, "Is your brother worried about something now?"
"I don't know." Yan Zhu said, "But every time he comes to the garden, his eyes are wide open." Yan Zhu imitated Yan Zhen's expression, "I think that my brother is relaxing in some way."
"Oh." An Yuan was a little worried. Yan Zhu immediately comforted her mother, saying that her brother was actually quite normal, and that observing the ecology of horticultural plants was a good hobby, better than playing games.
An Yuan nodded. Yan Zhu had been frowning for the past few days, but now she has recovered. If Xiao Zhen just stared at the garden in a daze, it would not seem like a big deal. Children always have their own ideas, and it would be bad if parents interfere too much.
Mr. Cat ordered an expedited delivery. Xiaozhen received a large box.
What was listed on the list was just as Mr. Cat had said, the soil from the farm on the native planet of the Scented Fruit, and ten boxes of fertilizer.
Xiao Zhen carried a box of soil to the garden and shoveled the soil into the Xiangxiu Fruit Farm. As he was shoveling, he dug out something.
"What's this?"
In his hand was a stick of object shaped like a branch, with text-like textures on it. The texture was a bit soft, like a shriveled strip of leather.
It seemed like garbage mixed in with the soil. Xiao Zhen took a photo and prepared to let Mr. Cat settle accounts with the seller. Then he put the dried leather strip aside and continued to shovel the soil into his farm.
After he finished working on the farm, Xiao Zhen returned to the room and sent the photo to Mr. Cat. "This is garbage mixed in with the soil I ordered. Can you give feedback to the seller and ask for a refund?"
Captain Madara jumped over, "Huh? What is this?"
“Trash mixed in with the soil.”
"I feel like it looks familiar. Wait a minute." Captain Ban checked his information database. After a few minutes, he suddenly screamed, "We are going to get rich!!!"
"What??"
"This dried leather strip is a fragment of the code from the ancient dynasty of the planet Morphison, during the reign of Tuf XXVII!" Captain Ban shouted, "Look at this photo!!!"
“Indeed, they are quite similar.”
"The fragments of the code of this dynasty are now very popular among collectors. Let me check the current price at the auction house." After a moment of silence, the chicken shouted, "The latest transaction price is 1.2 million credit points!! We are rich!! We are rich!! That's right, the origin of the scent fruit is the planet Morphyson. It is estimated that this farm was built on the ancient tomb of an emperor of a certain dynasty and was mixed in when the soil was shoveled. We are rich!! We are rich!!"
Xiao Zhen, whose consciousness was a little confused by this sudden good news, stood there in a daze for dozens of seconds, then he rushed to the garden.
However, the dried leather strip that he should have put aside was missing. Xiao Zhen looked around the spot, but it was nowhere to be found.
After checking the consciousness of An Yuan, Yan Zhu and the cleaning lady who passed by the garden, no one had seen this dried leather strip.
"Where on earth did it go?" Captain Madara shouted, "This is 1.2 million!!"
Xiao Zhen thought about it and said, "Watch the surveillance."
Turning on the surveillance camera of the garden, Xiao Zhen was seen shoveling the soil with a shovel, and there were little clay figures standing on the soil to help compact it. It was a really busy scene. Xiao Zhen in the picture found the dried leather strip, picked it up, looked at it, and then put it aside.
Xiao Zhen pressed the fast forward button, and in the picture, Xiao Zhen and the clay figures worked quickly, while the dry leather strip lay motionless. Then Xiao Zhen stood up, finished working, and left the garden.
The clay people continued to work, and then the pension suddenly appeared.
Before the pension could get close, the clay figures fled in fear and hid in the scented fruit bushes.
The pension came to the dried leather strips and sniffed them again and again.
The chicken said, "It won't eat it."
Xiao Zhen stared with wide eyes, watching his dried leather strips worth 1.2 million being picked up by his pension. Then he happily ran to the left corner of the garden, dug a hole in the ground, threw the dried leather strips into it, squatted on it and urinated, then covered the hole with soil with his hind legs and walked away leisurely.
"What's wrong with these cats!!" Xiao Zhen shouted.
"Obviously, it thinks your 1.2 million is a pile of shit," said Mr. Cat on the side.
No matter what, 1.2 million is still 1.2 million, even if it was ruined by the cat, it is still 1.2 million. Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara took a shovel to save their 1.2 million.
After digging out the dried leather strip while enduring the cat smell, when Xiao Zhen was about to recycle it, Mr. Cat walked over.
It said, "I just checked, gentlemen, and now I want to tell you something."
"What?"
"This dried leather strip, or fragment of the Dynastic Code, is indeed a piece of shit."
"What's the meaning?"
"I checked the records. This is a common scam. It's often mixed in with Galaxy mail packages."
"ah?"
"They will forge a popular antique and put it in a package, so that the victim will mistake it for a treasure they have stumbled upon by chance. Then they will be the nearest galactic antique appraiser you can find. If you go to them, they will charge you a considerable amount of money for the appraisal."
“…”
"And then, nothing happened."
“…”
"Recently, the Oversight Eye has received no less than a hundred reports in this area."
Xiao Zhen threw the dried leather strip back into the pit. "Did you wait for me to dig it out before you came and told me this?"
"No, I just remembered it." Mr. Cat wagged his tail.
At the dinner table that night.
Yan Zhu had fully recovered her spirits and happily begged Aunt Li to make her a cake roll.
"Zhuzhu, do you have any good news recently?" An Yuan asked her.
"No, I just figured it out." Yan Zhu acted like a little adult, "Some things can't be forced. It's meaningless to care too much about them."
An Yuan couldn't help but be amused by her little daughter.
At the other end of the table, her son Yan Zhen was obviously in a bad mood. He hadn't said a word since he sat down and just concentrated on eating.
It seems that the moods of these two children are still taking turns, An Yuan thought.
