Spring Thunder Chapter 0190 Talking Building
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, I want to sleep with you at night."
"No, you're seven years old, sleep by yourself."
"Dad, you are unreasonable. This is your punishment."
"Okay, okay, just one night."
"Great." The little girl clapped her hands and jumped for joy.
Nan Yi, however, had a bitter face, and this girl finally gave him the chance.
Nan Yi has always been very careful about keeping a distance between himself, Nan Ruoyin and Fan Hongdou. After Nan Ruoyin was six years old, he reduced his intimate actions with her. He used to kiss Nan Ruoyin's cheek often, but later he did so less often.
He plans to do less princess hugs and carry his children on his back starting this year.
"Nan Yi, what do you want to eat tonight? I have asked someone to prepare Western and barbecue ingredients ." Zhao Shixian walked up to Nan Yi and asked.
"What do you want to eat?" Nan Yi asked Nan Ruoyin with his head down.
"seafood."
"Are you ready?" Nan Yi looked up and asked Zhao Shixian.
"Yes, but not too many. There are seafood stalls in Sok Kwu Wan. I'd still go there if I wanted to eat seafood."
"Then change the barbecue ingredients to hot pot ingredients, and have hot pot for lunch tomorrow."
"That's fine, then let's go eat seafood."
Zhao Shixian agreed verbally, but she felt a little jealous that Nan Yi was not centered around herself.
She didn't expect that when she arrived at the seafood stall, there would be an even bigger "flavor" waiting for her.
When eating a Hokkaido red hairy crab, Nan Yi would cut off the crab's legs and large claws, poke out the meat inside and put it on Nan Ruoyin's plate.
Remove the crab shell, open the crab shell, use a small spoon to scoop out the crab stomach in the middle, carefully take out the crab meat wrapped around it and place it in another empty dish.
Nan Ruoyin had eaten two red-haired crabs, but Nan Yi still didn't take a single bite.
Zhao Shixian just stood there staring blankly with the corners of his mouth curled up. He thought that even if he hung two bottles on it, it wouldn't fall.
There were four crabs in total. Nan Ruoyin ate three, Zhao Shixian got one, and Nan Yi sucked on the crab legs that had not been eaten clean and scraped the remaining meat inside the crab shell.
Looking at Nan Yi's expression, Zhao Shixian asked, "Do you want to call a few more?"
"No, I don't like eating crabs." Nan Yi waved his hand and said.
Nan Yi didn't ask Nan Ruoyin if she wanted more. Crabs are cold foods, and three are enough for the little girl. She can't eat more. And he himself really doesn't like eating crabs.
…
The next morning, Nan Yi woke up to the sounds of birdsong and waves. He pulled apart the piglet that was lying on its back with half of its body and thighs pressed on him, picked up the watch on the bedside table and checked the time.
Seeing that it was already five o'clock, Nan Yi pushed the piglet and said, "It's time, get up."
"Well, I still need to sleep."
"stand up."
Nan Yi directly lifted the quilt, pinched Nan Ruoyin's shoulders and lifted her up.
"Dad, let me sleep a little longer. We are on vacation, aren't we?"
"You have to exercise even when you are on vacation, unless there is force majeure such as earthquakes or typhoons. Otherwise, you have to exercise even if there is a war."
"Okay, okay, get up, get up."
Nan Ruoyin slapped Nan Yi's hand away, rubbed her eyes, shook her body to straighten her wrinkled nightgown, took a step, stepped over Nan Yi's belly, glanced down at where her slippers were, jumped down, and landed steadily on her slippers, then walked to the bathroom in her slippers.
Nan Yi shook his head and climbed up from the bed. He first lifted the quilt and shook it twice, then folded it in half and draped it over his back. He smoothed the sheets, put the pillows in place, shook the quilt again in mid-air, and spread it on the bed.
"Dad, Dad, I had poop, it's so scary." The little girl's shrill voice came from the bathroom.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll find you some roundworms to eat."
“Hehehe.”
Nan Yi pays great attention to the two little girls' healthy diet. They don't drink raw water and rarely eat raw food, so it is impossible for roundworms to grow in their stomachs.
The little girl had seen roundworms in Wenchangwei. Nowadays, most children in rural areas have roundworms in their stomachs, and this thing sometimes becomes a slightly disgusting toy.
I stretched my hands back, pinched, pulled, and threw them to the ground. The "red earthworms" and "white earthworms" shook violently on the ground, crackling...
"Hurry up, Dad still needs to wash up."
Nan Yi felt like he had to pee, but he didn't know how to say it out loud.
"Quick, quick."
After a lot of clanging and clattering, Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin finally ran onto the path outside.
Following the path they walked yesterday, the two ran to the beach at a constant speed. After the sweat on their bodies dried, Nan Yi threw the little girl into the sea again. They swam back and forth for several hundred meters. The little girl made a fuss with Nan Yi for a while before the two went ashore.
On the beach, Dewen had already pounced on a large bath towel, and the little girl ran over and lay on it. Nan Yi asked Dewen for another bath towel and wiped the sea water off the little girl's body.
After taking care of her, Nan Yi lay down on the sand and covered his face with the bath towel.
"Dad, where are we going today?"
"When we were eating seafood yesterday, did you see a children's playground in Sok Kwu Wan?"
"I see, it's so small, I don't want to go."
"So what do you want to do?"
"How about catching crabs?"
"Isn't this crabbing day? Do you see any crabs on the beach?"
Nan Ruoyin stood up and turned her head to look around. "No, it's boring. There's nothing to do here. I want to go home."
"No, we have to wait until tomorrow to go back. Dad has something to do in the afternoon."
"do what?"
"Go find the village chief here to ask something. Dad saw a remarkable kind of grass yesterday."
"What the hell?"
"You haven't seen this kind of grass that grows very tall. It can grow to more than seven meters. This grass has high economic value and can be used as a culture medium to grow dozens of edible and medicinal fungi such as shiitake mushrooms and ganoderma lucidum.
This grass has high nutritional value and can be used as feed to feed herbivorous livestock and poultry such as cattle, sheep, pigs, geese, rabbits, and can also be used to feed grass carp.
It can also be used to generate biomass electricity, make fiberboard, produce fuel ethanol, and make paper.”
“Oh, Dad, what is biomass power generation?”
"It's about using biomass to generate electricity. Giant fungus grass can be burned to drive a steam engine, which in turn drives a motor to generate electricity. It can also be gasified or made into biogas for power generation instead of being used directly as fuel.
It’s a little hard to explain gasification and biogas. When you get home, Dad will find two books for you to read. You’ll have a general idea after reading them.”
"Dad, do you want to grow this giant fungus grass?"
"Yes, we planted them and sold them for money, and then gave them to our Ruoyin as a dowry."
"Hehehe, Daddy, I won't get married. I want to be with you forever." The little girl turned around twice and said while lying on Nan Yi's belly.
"Okay, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. But you are such a good eater, and you need to buy good toys. They are very expensive. Daddy can't support you if he doesn't earn more."
"I can make money, too, Dad. I've saved a lot of money."
"How many are there?"
"Forty-seven thousand."
Nan Yi grabbed Nan Ruoyin's shoulders and shouted exaggeratedly: "Wow, there are so many, how are you going to spend it?"
"I don't know, Dad, what do you think I should buy with it?"
"Forty-seven thousand is a lot. You can use it to buy a house. You take out forty thousand and dad will give you another three million six hundred and sixty thousand. You can buy a 4,000 square foot mansion."
"No, I don't want a mansion, Dad. I want to buy a small house and divide it into 70-square-foot subdivided flats for rent. With a 4,000-square-foot mansion, I can buy a 5,000-square-foot ordinary unit, which can be divided into... 71 subdivided flats."
"We can't divide it into so many rooms because of the space loss. The most we can divide it into is about 68 rooms." Nan Yi smiled faintly.
"Then there are 68 rooms. How much rent can you collect in a month?"
"About ten thousand."
"So many? No wonder. The fat kid in our class said his father bought a lot of old buildings for rent. Dad, I don't want a vacation home for my birthday gift. Can you give me two units?"
"Haha, the money for a vacation home can't buy two units, unless you go to the New Territories, but the rent in the New Territories is not much."
"Then I'll also overdraw in advance for next year's birthday present. Will you buy me three units?"
"Sure. If you take out 40,000 yuan, Dad will buy you 12 units. Dad can also advance the money for the renovation. But you are still too young, so Dad will definitely help you collect the rent. Then you have to give Dad a salary of 2,000 yuan a month."
"It's so expensive. You can get one for only $800."
"It's only 800 dollars. What if he takes your money and runs away? Wouldn't your loss be even greater?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "That's too expensive. One thousand five hundred dollars is okay?"
"Okay, you're my daughter after all, so it's settled. You decide where to buy. When we get back, I'll find the listing advertisement for you. I'll ask Secretary Xia to go with you to see the house. If you make a loss, you have to pay dad back."
"You won't lose money, Xiaopang said. There are still many people in Hong Kong who don't have a house. As long as they don't pay for the mortgage, the house will go up sooner or later even if it drops temporarily."
"Oh, your chubby classmate is very smart."
"Yes, she said her father was paying off the house and made a lot of money."
"So, are you close to Xiaopang?" Nan Yi thought for a moment and asked.
"Great."
"Since we are good friends, then invite them to your home more often, and the two families can go on vacation together."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
"You're welcome, get up, we should go back."
To buy a 12-unit house this year, Nan Yi will have to spend at least an extra 1 million. But as long as Nan Ruoyin is happy, Nan Yi doesn't care at all. Moreover, as Nan Ruoyin said, as long as there is no loan, there is no possibility of loss.
At noon, they made hot pot with yesterday's barbecue ingredients. After eating, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoyin and Zhao Shixian, who insisted on going with them, to Moda Village.
“There are only a few dozen residents in Moda Village. Most of the young people have gone to Xiangdengzai [the central area of Xiangdeng, which can be understood as going to the city]. Only a few elderly people and the foreigner I told you about yesterday are left here.
Most people have the surname Liu, and the village chief should also have the surname Liu, but I don’t know his name.”
On the way to Moda Village, Zhao Shixian introduced it to Nan Yi.
“Oh, do you speak Cantonese?”
"Yes, what do you want to do with the village chief?"
"Ask who planted that grass we saw yesterday."
Walking into the area of Moda Village, you can see several three-story cement houses and some relatively low brick houses. At the fork in the road, Nan Yi saw a woman wearing a hat. The hat was very distinctive and covered with a cloth curtain.
"Aunt, we're looking for the village chief. Do you know where he lives?"
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you." The woman asked loudly, covering her earlobes with her hands.
The woman was probably hard of hearing, so Nan Yi asked again loudly.
"Looking for the village chief, go through here, the largest house is the village chief's house."
"Oh no!"
Several people turned away from the woman and walked in the direction she pointed.
The village was not very big, and after walking about a hundred meters we arrived outside the village chief's house.
Nan Yi leaned over the fence took a peek inside. He saw a large black dog tied in the yard. He shouted at the door, "Is the village chief here?"
"Which one?"
Following the sound, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the house.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, Village Chief Liu. We are here to find you and ask you something."
Village Chief Liu looked at the people and said, "Then come in and sit down."
"No need to sit down, we can just talk here." Nan Yi said politely, "It's like this, I saw a patch of giant fungus grass beside the trail, and I want to ask you who owns it."
"You're asking about that. That's my house."
"Then may I ask where you bought the seeds?"
"You can't buy Xiangkeng. It was brought back from Africa by my son," said Village Chief Liu.
"Is your son here?"
"No, he's a sailor. He's on the ship all year round."
"Then I wonder when his next vacation will be?"
"He will be back on vacation in the middle of next month."
Nan Yi took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Village Chief Liu. "Then please ask your son to call me when he comes back. I have something I want to ask him about."
As he spoke, Nan Yi took out a five-hundred-yuan note and a ten-yuan note from his pocket and handed them over, "Village Chief Liu, these ten yuan are to compensate you for the giant mushroom grass. I broke one of them yesterday; these five hundred yuan are for me to inquire about the matter with you.
You can tell your son, I won't ask for nothing."
"This, this, this is so inappropriate."
"Of course, of course. Then we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
In the morning, when Nan Yi passed by the giant fungus grass, he saw the money hanging on it was still there, so he took the money back.
Nan Yi knew that giant fungus grass grew in North Africa, but he still wanted to find out where this giant fungus grass came from. When giant fungus grass was introduced to Asia for cultivation, it was improved. Without improvement, it would not have grown so densely.
This patch of seeds is obviously an improved variety. Nan Yi wants to trace the roots and find the person who improved the seeds.
After finishing their business, Nan Yi and his friends spent the afternoon riding their bicycles around Lamma Island. They ate A-Po's tofu pudding, went to Hung Shing Yeh Bay Beach, and visited the Kamikaze Cave.
At Nan Ruoyin's request, I also visited Xu Wenqiang's hometown.
Zhao Shixian was not very happy during the three-day holiday , but fortunately she and Nan Ruoyin got along well.
When he returned home, Nan Yi found that Fang Mengyin had not come back yet. It seemed that she would not come back this year.
