Chapter 21 Raising a Grass as a Pet (Please Collect and Recommend)

After closing the door and easily dismissing the people who wanted to pay, Zhuang Buyuan was a little embarrassed when faced with Zhao Min's request.

"Uncle Zhao, do you really want to be a servant of the manor?"

Zhao Min's request is simply sick in the eyes of people like Zhuang Buyuan who dream of eating and waiting to die.

Manor servants are said to be unpleasant...or to put it bluntly, they are just servants. This kind of poison from the manor owner's era is very difficult for young people in the new era like Zhuang Buyuan to accept.

Besides, Mr. Zhao has worked hard all his life and finally retired. He has children and a daughter. He doesn’t have to worry about food and drink. How good would it be to take care of him at home?

"I've thought about it, I want to be a servant of the manor." Zhao Min said.

"Uncle Zhao, think about it carefully. If you have a good time, you can spend time with your family and see your grandchildren...you don't have to farm here."

"I've never done anything promising in my life. I don't want to remain ignorant when I get old, just waiting to die. I've also thought about it. I can't achieve anything on my own. If I want to do something big, I have to choose. Follow the right person... Lord of the Manor, you are a man who does great things."

I? Someone who does great things?

Zhuang Buyuan doesn't think so.

"I read a WeChat message yesterday, saying that if you really want to do something, it's never too late to start. I'm over sixty now, but I'm healthy and have no illness or disaster. No matter what, I can live ten years. Years. I don’t ask for a successful career, but I want to live a decent life, and I ask the Lord of the Manor to make it happen.”

Zhuang Buyuan looked at Zhao Min.

At this moment, Zhao Min was not because of the power brought by the identity card, nor because of the pleasure of buying and selling by force, but because of his own pursuit.

Zhuang Buyuan knew that there were a lot of poisonous chicken soups circulating in the WeChat circle of friends, but there was no doubt that the bowl Zhao Min drank was not poisonous chicken soup, but a bowl of fresh chicken soup.

"Uncle Zhao, please give me more advice in the future."

Zhuang Buyuan handed over a card.

"Three-hour part-time servant card."

Zhao Min took the servant card and obviously knew what it was. There were tears in his eyes. He stroked it carefully and then held it solemnly to his chest.

The matte black servant card flashed for a moment and then stuck to his left chest.

"Manor servant Zhao Min accepts a three-hour part-time servant card."

"Manor servant Zhao Min's loyalty has been upgraded to loyalty."

"Congratulations, Lord of the Manor, you have your first official servant. You can activate the servant development system for this servant, upgrade skills, and improve the servant's work ability."

"You accomplished your feat..."

A series of messages came.

"Servant training system...Uncle Zhao, do you have any experience in farming?"

…

In the afternoon at the manor, the shadows of the trees were dancing, the breeze was blowing, and it was particularly cool.

Even the scorching sun reduced its power in the manor and turned into a white spot in the sky.

Zhuang Buyuan and Zhao Min squatted next to the vegetable field, staring at a sprout that was slowly emerging.

"It's sprouted, it's sprouted!"

"It looks no different from ordinary plants!"

"Zhuang...village owner, you should go back and rest, I will be in charge here." Zhao Min said.

Zhuang Buyuan always felt that the title Lord of the Manor was a bit embarrassing. He asked Zhao Min to call him Xiaozhuang, but Zhao Min refused.

After two compromises, he became the owner of the village. This name was Zhuang Buyuan's nickname when he was in college. Zhuang Buyuan accepted it very well.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm very curious." Zhuang Buyuan stared at the four leaves in front of him and slowly grew up, from the size of rice grains to the size of bean sprouts.

"Why do I feel that this thing grows so slowly?" Zhuang Buyuan was used to the vegetable field growing at a speed that was like a time-lapse photography. Now looking at the slowly unfolding leaves, Zhuang Buyuan felt a little impatient to wait.

Sure enough, people cannot be spoiled.

What was planted in the vegetable field was the "Hollow Grass with Curly Leaves" that Zhuang Buyuan obtained through the "Expulsion Master" achievement.

After Zhao Min became a part-time servant of the manor, Zhuang Buyuan immediately exchanged a copy of "Elementary Planting Technique" and gave it to Zhao Min. It cost 1,500 points, which was very expensive, but Zhuang Buyuan's curiosity could not be stopped by such a few points.

At this time, Zhao Min looked at the seedlings in the field with a strange calmness. While watering the Hankong grass, he smiled and said: "Master, usually, special crops like this have to be grown." If it is planted in a flower bed, the nutrition in the vegetable field is not enough, and the quality of the grown vegetables may not be very good. Moreover, the fertility of a vegetable field can only grow one plant. The empty grass requires about a third-level flower bed to grow. Something grown at scale.”

That's right, they only planted one tree. Zhuang Buyuan originally planned to plant ten. Unfortunately, Zhao Min said that the vegetable field was not fertile enough and could only cultivate ordinary crops, such as rare crops like Hankong grass. The required conditions are particularly harsh and require careful care, and cannot be ignored like ordinary output.

During the planting process, Zhuang Buyuan did see several times that the Hankong grass showed signs of withering. Fortunately, this little guy was relatively resilient and finally survived.

Unlike Zhuang Buyuan who was worried, Zhao Min was very confident about planting this empty grass. He quickly fertilized and weeded, and was busy, and soon the four small leaves grew to the size of marbles.

Hankong grass is blue-green, round and jade-like, crystal clear, and slightly translucent.

The four small leaves are curled inward, like two small hands holding each other, extremely delicate.

If he hadn't seen this thing grow out of the ground with his own eyes, Zhuang Buyuan would have even thought that it was actually carved out of precious stones.

Next, Hankong grass grew even slower, but Zhao Min kept turning the soil, watering, and fertilizing without stopping. After a full hour, Zhuang Buyuan felt that this little thing seemed to be growing again. A little bigger.

"Master, please dig it out of the soil and try not to damage its roots," Zhao Min said.

"Is it ready to be planted?" Zhuang Buyuan carefully dug out the Hankong grass with a small shovel, gently shook off the soil, and held it in his hand.

"Now that it has passed its infancy, it depends on how the manor owner will raise it." Zhao Min held Zhuang Buyuan's palm with both hands and looked at the crystal clear little thing carefully.

Even in the era of manor owners, a cultivated Kongkong grass was the best of the best.

Hankong grass is a magical plant that has been domesticated by the manor owners. After Zhuang Buyuan dug it out, he felt like something was touching his consciousness, and his head felt itchy and a little numb.

This is the consciousness of Hankong Grass trying to touch Zhuang Buyuan. Although this little thing was planted, it has a simple consciousness and it is difficult to define its species.

The Kongkong grass that had been planted in the manor's vegetable patch over time had already taken shape, but his consciousness was still blank. Zhuang Buyuan cautiously reached out and touched it. The little thing suddenly curled up, like little fists held together.

Not long after he retracted his hand, his little fist opened again.

Zhuang Buyuan thought this little thing was so cute, so he poked it several times, and suddenly felt a vague consciousness as if something had been poked.

"It's so annoying, stop poking me!"

"Ha!" Zhuang Buyuan laughed, suddenly feeling like he had a cute pet.

Everyone else raises dogs and cats, but you raise grass yourself?

"Master of the village, you'd better find a suitable place for it as soon as possible." Zhao Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Zhuang Buyuan's curious behavior.
