Rebirth and daily cultivation

Saturday, early morning.

Jiang Ning stood at the door, there was no wind. He looked up at the sky, there were only a few white clouds.

The sun revealed half of its face from the east and quietly stared at the world. It was shy and timid, but it also possessed a heat that was countless times more terrifying than magma.

"It's about to heat up." Jiang Ningwu thought to himself.

According to his judgment, the highest temperature today will be 35 degrees, which is a temperature that ordinary people need to turn on the air conditioner.

He looked at the courtyard next door. The door of the courtyard was tightly closed, and Xue Yuantong hadn't woken up yet.

She played games until twelve o'clock last night, and when she woke up, it would probably be past eight o'clock.

Jiang Ning returned to the courtyard, turned on the faucet, and took some warm water to wash her face.

Although he can use magic to clean, sometimes he prefers to wash his face by hand, which makes him feel that he is an ordinary person.

After washing her face, Jiang Ning opened her consciousness and extended it to the solar water heater on the roof. Under the scan of her consciousness, the amount of water inside was clear at a glance.

Compared with electric water heaters, solar water heaters save a lot of money.

However, the disadvantages are obvious. You need to always pay attention to the amount of water inside and replenish it in time. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if there is suddenly no hot water when taking a shower at night.

Normally, Xue Yuantong's family would fetch solar water at night, but Jiang Ning was used to using hot water in the morning, so he usually fetched water after washing up in the morning.

After finishing, Jiang Ning went to the next door to make a simple breakfast. When it was almost eight o'clock, she entered Xue Yuantong's room and called her.

She rolled lazily on the bed, unwilling to get up, so Jiang Ning lifted her up from the bed.

Xue Yuantong couldn't sleep now. She rubbed her eyes and blinked her slender eyelashes, revealing a bit of charm in her confusion.

"It's time to eat." Jiang Ning reminded.

Xue Yuantong sniffed, but the fragrance was not strong enough to fully activate her. She stayed beside the bed for a while, then ran to the yard to wash her face and brush her teeth.

The cool water soaked her face, and her skin became moisturized. After washing, she patted her smiling face with her palms, and the tips of her hair were slightly moist.

After her mother's lesson last night, she brushed her teeth conscientiously.

After doing it thoroughly, my consciousness finally fully awakened.

Xue Yuantong saw that Jiang Ning had prepared breakfast. She picked up the bowl and took a sip of the rice soup. It was mild in the mouth and not hot at all. She drank less than half of the bowl in one go.

Then I happily picked up some shredded potatoes and made a crunchy sound.

While she was eating, she looked at Jiang Ning from time to time and smiled secretly.

Jiang Ning glanced at her and said, "You are stupid."

Xue Yuantong was not angry either. Her eyes were crooked: "Jiang Ning, you are so kind."

"Of course." Jiang Ning accepted the praise as a matter of course.

"Jiang Ning, shall we have crabs for lunch?" Although it was just breakfast, Xue Yuantong began to care about the lunch situation.

"Well, I plan to go to the city after dinner. Do you want to play at home or come with me?" Jiang Ning said, "But after we get to the city, I may have to separate."

He planned to go to Huqi Mountain to catch crabs, which was a trivial matter and only took a few minutes. However, he had promised his cousin Jiang Junlong in the morning to deliver watermelons to his uncle's house, which was a little more troublesome.

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong said, "I'll go with you. When you get to the city, put me at Chu Chu's place and I'll buy groceries with her."

Jiang Ning: "Okay."

After finishing the meal, Xue Yuantong consciously cleared away the dishes.

Jiang Ning pushed the cart out of the gate, then she locked the gate and took Jiang Ning's bicycle.

"It's a bit hot." Xue Yuantong put on his sun hat.

"It won't get hot when you start riding." Jiang Ning said.

"Well."

Sure enough, when Jiang Ning's speed increased, Xue Yuantong no longer felt the heat.

Now it's past 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun's rays have become dazzling, the river dam is empty, and the pedestrians who got up early to exercise have already evacuated.

Mountain bikes shuttled on the asphalt road of the river dam. Xue Yuantong looked at the Huishui River in the distance. There were patches of reeds growing on the riverside. The river was sparkling and full of summer atmosphere.

When the mountain bike enters the city, the original field scenery is replaced by concrete high-rise buildings. Only the green belts on the roadside are somewhat natural.

Jiang Ning rode all the way, turning east and west, and finally arrived at Chu Chu's downstairs. When he looked around, he saw that Chu Chu was cleaning at home.

"Let's go." Jiang Ning led her up.

"Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, you should do your own business first. There's no need to go upstairs. It's so high!" Xue Yuantong waved his hand.

Chu Chu's house is on the seventh floor. If you climb up, you will definitely be tired.

With that said, she pushed Jiang Ning away.

"Okay, I'm leaving then. We'll see you at home." Jiang Ning pushed the cart and left.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that Xue Yuantong climbed up the stairs with his calves.

…

Jiang Ning shuttled through the alleys, with his consciousness spread over several hundred meters. There were no cameras in the alleys of the old residential area.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, he flicked the storage ring, and a palm-sized spiritual boat flew out from it. The aura flickered and the concealment formation was activated.

The space in the alley was narrow. Jiang Ning channeled his spiritual power, and the palm-sized spirit boat soared nearly twenty meters into the air, and then expanded into a three-meter-long spirit boat.

Jiang Ning put the mountain bike into the storage ring with a move of her hand.

At the same time, he cast himself a Qi Concealing Technique, and then Jiang Ning activated the Light Body Technique. He stepped down and used his body-refining skills. The powerful force directly caused his figure to jump up.

This leap was more than twenty meters, higher than the 7-story old building nearby. He looked down at the buildings around him, and the spirit boat swam to his feet.

Then, it accelerated suddenly, broke through the air, and streaked towards the sky.

Jiang Ning flew into Huqi Mountain. He first checked the spiritual field, and then picked two large watermelons.

He swept the spiritual field and planted various fruits and vegetables, but they were not yet ripe.

He did not grow these vegetables and fruits for sale, so they were not sown at the same time.

Like large watermelons, Jiang Ning is planted in batches. In this way, you can eat ripe watermelons regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

After taking the watermelon, Jiang Ning put it in the storage ring and then went down the mountain along the stream flowing through Lingtian.

The creek in the mountain winds like a jade belt, circling in the mountain forest. The forest is green, a light mist sprouts, the leaves of the trees reveal their new greenness, and the fragrance of flowers overflows, and the fragrance is tangy.

The clear and transparent creek made the sound of running water, and several large crabs were crawling on the wet pebbles beside the creek, creating a leisurely scene.

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that Xue Yuantong imitated a crab and walked sideways last night, and couldn't help but smile.

The crab on the cobblestones raised its pincers, showing off its power and running rampant.

These crabs grow in Huqi Mountain, which is full of spiritual energy. They are very strong and flexible. If ordinary people come here to catch them, they might be caught by a pair of pliers.

However, Jiang Ning just bent his hands and grabbed them. Using his spiritual power, he caught several crabs from the air and threw them into the iron bucket.

The crabs waved their claws angrily, trying to poke the iron bucket, but when faced with the solid iron bucket, their resistance was so weak.

Jiang Ning caught a total of six large crabs. These crabs were a bit bigger than the crabs in the wet market. One weighed six or seven pounds, and six crabs were enough to feed three people.

What's more, Xue Yuantong said that there are other dishes today.

After getting the crabs, Jiang Ning took the flying boat back to Heba first, sent the iron bucket home, put the watermelon away, and made up a chilled formation.

Then he practiced at home for an hour before going to his uncle's house.

Jiang Ning brought watermelon. He rode a mountain bike into his uncle's community. The security guard blew an electric fan in the pavilion, and people who went out of the community held umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun.

The person who took Jiang Ning upstairs was Shen Qing'e.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, and Shen Qing'e pretended to be normal, "Uncle asked you to eat here for lunch. He got some ribs today and said they are very expensive."

"Let's talk about it upstairs." Jiang Ning did not refuse directly.

"Yeah." After Shen Qing'e said this, she stopped talking. She didn't want to say too much, so that it seemed like she was trying to please Jiang Ning.

The elevator is very empty. The uncle's house is a large flat floor of 180 square meters, with two households per elevator, so it is rarely crowded.

The door was open, and my aunt came to welcome her: "Ning Ning is here. Your brother has made a box of ice cream. Come and try it."

Seeing her aunt's enthusiasm, Jiang Ning smiled and put the bag in his hand forward:

"The melon Junlong wants is not easy to buy, so I got it from a netizen."

Hu Qishan's batch of melons happened to be four ripe, otherwise he would have just refused Jiang Junlong's request.

"Come here, why don't you bring more melons, more fruits!" the aunt said, but she took the watermelon neatly in her hand.

After hearing this, Jiang Junlong and his cousins ​​took a few more glances.

This kind of watermelon is cultivated in the land of spiritual energy. Eating it by ordinary people is of great benefit to the body, which is no less than a tonic.

Of course, if you say it has such incredible effects, it doesn't.

Jiang Ning went into the living room and got an ice cream. It was chocolate milk nut ice cream. It was said that the wholesale price of one ice cream was a full ten yuan!

It does taste better than usual ice cream.

The uncle was busy at the restaurant and did not come back. Jiang Ning chatted with her cousin for a while and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

The aunt quickly stopped and said, "Let's stay for lunch. My family bought ribs. These ribs are extraordinary."

Jiang Ning tried her best to talk, but was finally sent away by Shen Qing'e.

…

On the way back, it was already past ten o'clock.

A scorching sun was above our heads, scorching the earth. The trees on both sides of the river dam were scorched listlessly, and the ground on the field ridge in the distance was scorching hot.

Jiang Ning set up a formation for the mountain bike, which was extremely cool at this time.

He didn't take the flying boat, but stepped on the bicycle pedals and rode slowly towards home.

The cell phone rings.

Jiang Ning answered the phone while riding a bicycle with one hand, and Xue Yuantong's voice came from the other side: "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, where have you been? You can't go home for lunch!"

"On the way back." Jiang Ning said simply.

"Jiang Ning, come back quickly, your crabs are so scary!" Xue Yuantong complained. Just now she and Chu Chu went to Jiang Ning's house to see crabs, but the crab almost jumped out of the bucket and pinched her.

Xue Yuantong was so frightened that the lid of the bucket flew away. He was so embarrassed that Chu Chu helped to pick it up and put it back on.

She is now waiting for Jiang Ning to come home to take revenge and wash away the shame.

"Crab, don't touch it, wait until I get back to deal with it." Jiang Ning warned. He was not worried about Tongtong being hurt. After all, he had a body-protecting jade pendant.

Xue Yuantong said seductively: "Come back quickly. If you come back early, will there be a reward?"

Jiang Ning: "What reward?"

"Hmph, a woman who is as smart as ice and snow, talented and beautiful, will cook you delicious food with her own hands." Xue Yuantong said proudly.

Jiang Ning was confused: "Chuchu wants to cook for me?"

Xue Yuantong hung up the phone angrily.

Xue Chuchu, who was washing vegetables, was surprised: "Tongtong, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Yuantong was so angry that he wanted Chu Chu to hide!

…

After Jiang Ning returned home from her bicycle, two girls, one older and one younger, were busy in the kitchen.

He entered the kitchen and met Xue Yuantong's raised chin.

Jiang Ning said: "I will handle the crabs."

The iron bucket was moved to Xue Yuantong's kitchen. He poured the crabs into the large aluminum basin and washed them again.

He asked the two of them: "How do you plan to eat it? Steam it?"

Xue Chuchu was silent on the small bench. She was far less proficient in cooking than Tongtong.

Xue Yuantong first glared at the crab fiercely and suggested: "I know a particularly good way to eat it, but you need to split the crab in half first!"

Jiang Ning: "Leave it to me."

After that, he put the crab on the cutting board, raised the knife and "bang!" split the crab open.

Xue Yuantong felt that it was so cruel to get his revenge, but when he saw the rich crab roe of the crab, he swallowed his unbearable feelings.

Six crabs died and returned to the west. Jiang Ning's errand was over, and the job of lighting the fire was taken away by Xue Chuchu.

Baking an earthen pot in the summer is quite hard work, especially when it's so hot today.

Imagine the weather is 35 degrees, and you will know how painful it is.

Xue Chuchu was dressed in clean clothes and had a clear and cold appearance, which seemed incompatible with the firewood and earthen pots. Her fair face was burnt red by the hot flames.

She just lit the fire silently, and only the sweat on her forehead showed her hard work.

Xue Yuantong was also very hot, but they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, not to mention the delicious crabs.

Jiang Ning activated her spiritual power and silently cooled down the kitchen

In order to save time, Xue Yuantong cooked two dishes at the same time, one was crab and the other was roasted dried lentils with pork ribs.

Dried lentils, as the name suggests, are made from dried lentils.

It wasn't Xue Yuantong who bought it, but Xue Chuchu's family bought it. She thought that she would always come here to make a meal, so she brought some dry goods over.

Xue Yuantong put on her apron in a decent manner, got oil in the pot, poured starch, dipped the roe side of the crabs split in half into starch, and then threw it into the pot to fry.

After frying, she removed the oil, poured in the onions, ginger, and garlic and began to stir-fry.

Jiang Ning stood aside and watched her cooking, occasionally using her spiritual power to prevent the frying from splashing and scalding her.

When he was not busy, Xue Yuantong did not forget to quarrel with Jiang Ning:

"I asked you to buy juice, but you really forgot."

Jiang Ning didn't let her complain. He said, "Didn't you forget it too?"

In the end, Chu Chu bought the drinks.

Xue Chuchu listened to the two talking and smelled the tempting aroma coming from the kitchen. She silently added a handful of firewood.

Xue Yuantong scolded Jiang Ning. In short, it was all his fault, and he was right anyway.

At the end, Xue Yuantong hummed: "I won't leave it to you in terms of eating from now on, leave it to me!"

She was cooking with a shovel and pouring side dishes into the pot, and her little mouth was still chattering.

Seeing that she looked amused, Jiang Ning suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek.

Xue Yuantong seemed to be restrained, and her voice suddenly stopped. After a few seconds, she said angrily:

"Bully me while I'm cooking!"
