Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 663: Chapter 664: It’s Really Simple!_1

Ten days later, thirty agricultural officials once again gathered in An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s field.

The soil of the seedbed was now quite suitable for making ’Nutrition Bowls.’

Xiao Changyi first lifted the tarpaulin covering the seedbed, and then, he took the bowl-making tool to make a ’Nutrition Bowl.’

As soon as the ’Nutrition Bowl’ was pushed out from the bowl-making tool, everyone saw that it was indeed as An Jing had described: cylindrical, with a small hole in the center at the top where a cottonseed could be placed.

Twenty-eight farmer officials’ eyes were filled with eagerness, wanting to pick up the bowl-making tool and try making a ’Nutrition Bowl’ for themselves.

An Jing saw this and took the opportunity to ask, ”Would you like to try it?”

Before any of the twenty-eight farmer officials could speak, Tong Nongzhi hummed, ”It’s so simple, do we need to try?”

Guo Nongzhi echoed, ”Yes, it’s really very simple. Even pigs could watch and learn; no need to try.”

The twenty-eight farmer officials, even though they were eager to try, didn’t dare to voice their desire. Firstly, they didn’t want to embarrass Lords Tong and Guo, and secondly, they didn’t want to be thought of as being worse than pigs.

An Jing was not the least bit angry; instead, she chuckled, ”Lord Tong, Lord Guo, using this bowl-making tool to make ’Nutrition Bowls’ may seem simple, but it’s not easy when you actually do it. If you don’t believe it, go ahead and try.”

Hearing An Jing say that it wasn’t easy, both Tong Nongzhi and Guo Nongzhi felt a bit apprehensive inside.

But their gaze fell on Xiao Changyi, who seemed to have an easy time using the bowl-making tool to make ’Nutrition Bowls.’ He would press the bowl into the soil, pick it up, step on the push rod on top, and the ’Nutrition Bowl’ would be pushed out from the tool...

It really seemed very simple!

Then, Tong Nongzhi and Guo Nongzhi weren’t feeling apprehensive anymore.

Lord Tong stated quite firmly, ”Let’s try it!”

Lord Guo snatched a bowl-making tool quicker than Lord Tong, pressing the tool into the soil while confidently declaring, ”If pigs can learn by watching, we are humans; how could we not get it.”

As he spoke, Guo Nongzhi lifted the bowl-making tool from the soil and stepped on the lever to push out the ’Nutrition Bowl,’ and indeed it was pushed out, but once it hit the ground, it broke into two pieces.

Guo Nongzhi: ”...”

The twenty-eight farmer officials: ”...” Pigs...

Tong Nongzhi: ”...” Lord Guo, are you slapping your own face, or mine?

An Jing struggled to contain her laughter, her shoulders trembling. She wanted to sing out loud, ’Pig, your nose has two holes,’ haha~

As Guo Nongzhi came to his senses, his face immediately turned red. Something that pigs could understand, yet he couldn’t... he just couldn’t...

Seeing Lord Tong’s hesitation in making the ’Nutrition Bowl,’ An Jing asked, ”Lord Tong, why aren’t you making one?”

”I am about to make one... I am about to make one...” With Guo Nongzhi setting such an ’example,’ Lord Tong found it hard to maintain his firm stance, but since the bowl-making tool was already in his hands, he couldn’t back down and had to press on, although with extreme caution.

Lord Tong very carefully and sluggishly picked up the bowl-making tool that was pressed into the soil. Then, just as carefully and slowly, he stepped on the push rod, and afterward, he gradually pushed the ’Nutrition Bowl’ out of the tool.

But as Lord Tong was so slow, the ’Nutrition Bowl’ broke before it could be completely pushed out; one piece fell to the ground while the other remained in the tool.

Lord Tong’s face also turned crimson in an instant, even his ears reddened with embarrassment. He felt so humiliated that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into; he had never been so embarrassed before.

At this point, An Jing was quite composed; she didn’t say a word and just quietly observed everything.
