Aunt Jing didn't understand that she could still get flowers after eating. However, she didn't eat in the morning, so she didn't say anything anymore. So when she returned to the house, Hou Qi said, "You guys wait here, I'll go
Cook."
Meng Youran followed, "I'll go too. Aunt Jing, please wait here. I'll be there soon."
After the two of them walked to the kitchen, Hou Qi started steaming rice. Meng Youran took a closer look at the rice and asked in surprise, "I was surprised just now. Do you really plan to let Aunt Jing and my grandfather know about the rice? You
Didn't I say that I would wait until my strength is sufficient before making it public? Is there any danger if it is spread out now?"
Hou Qi smiled and said, "You asked so many questions in one breath, how should I answer them." He sighed and said, "Originally, I thought I would wait until I was strong enough before I disclosed the body-building rice, so that at least I would not be threatened.
And now I am still in the muscle training period, and the body training has not been completed yet. There are still realms such as inner energy, soul, distraction, void, shattering, ascension, etc. To say that I am strong enough, what realm should I wait for."
After a pause, he continued, "Did you know? My friend Helan, the one you have met, was originally going to join the army. For some reason, he didn't want to give up practicing, but because he had no resources, he chose to go to the front line to try.
I could obviously help him at that time, but because I was afraid that the news about the strengthening rice would be leaked, I didn't mention it at all."
Meng Youran consoled her, "I don't blame you for this. Your concerns at the time were right!"
Hou Qi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand, this is my friend since childhood. So this time I gave him 800,000 of the Hou family's one million. Eight hundred thousand sounds like a lot, but if you buy resources, maybe
It’s just enough to reach the peak of physical training. Not to mention the credit points in martial arts. The day before yesterday, he told me that he was already in the early stages of muscle training. Apart from being happy for him, what I thought about most was how many people were like him.
People like Helan and I are unable to practice because we have no resources, so I had the idea to announce the body-building rice at that time. Your grandpa was just an opportunity."
Meng Youran looked at the man in front of her, no, it was a boy, and she didn't know what to say.
Hou Qi continued, "The Federation has been established for a long time, and all classes have been solidified. Common people rarely come forward. Looking at the history of nearly a hundred years, there is only one Ye Xianzong, but I don't know how many civilians have fallen behind him.
So I want to make the body-building rice public, so that more people at the bottom can practice it and no longer have to worry about resources."
Meng Youran asked, "In this case, aren't you afraid of being obtained by foreigners?"
Hou Qi said, "Don't be afraid, I have a way."
Meng Youran asked, "What can I do?"
"secret!"
Meng Youran's face turned red with anger, and she said, "Thankfully, I just thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you are still a bastard at heart!"
Hou Qi said, "You will know in the future. By the way, let me tell you, the body-strengthening rice is only effective for body refining and inner Qi realm. When you reach the Yuanshen realm, the effect of the body-strengthening rice is minimal."
Meng Youran said, "I know this. The body refining realm and the inner qi realm need to refine qi and blood, while the primordial spirit realm can already absorb energy independently."
Hou Qi said, "You are right. This is also the reason why I want to make the body-building rice public. After it is made public, the entire federation will benefit and the base of basic practitioners will be greatly increased. In this way, there will be more top masters in the future."
The two of them were chatting in the kitchen, and Aunt Jing finally got impatient. "Are you two ready to make a mistake?" The voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of the two of them accurately.
The two of them then returned to the middle room with the cooked rice. Aunt Jing saw that there was only one pot and asked, "There are no vegetables, so you just eat rice?"
Hou Qi said embarrassedly, "I am relatively poor here, so I have wronged Aunt Jing."
Aunt Jing said, "Isn't it right? You spent all the Hou family's one million so quickly?"
Meng Youran said from the side, "Aunt Jing, try the difference in this rice." After saying that, he filled a bowl and handed it to her. Aunt Jing looked at it and said, "Isn't this Shuiyun Rice?"
Meng Youran handed her the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Try it first, don't be scared later."
"Oh? Scared?" He said, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. After eating, he said, "This is Shuiyundao. What can scare you?"
As he was talking, he suddenly stopped. Then he ate a few mouthfuls quickly, closed his eyes and felt it, and then said seriously, "This is not Shuiyun rice. What kind of rice is this? Why can it refine Qi and blood! What you just said
Is this what you are reluctant to part with? And how much of this kind of rice is there? How did you get it? Don’t hide it and explain it clearly!"
Hou Qi said, "This is something I cultivated. It's called Strengthening Rice. Although it tastes the same as Shuiyun Rice, it can refine Qi and blood better than Strengthening Grass. What do Aunt Jing think?"
Aunt Jing said in surprise, "You really cultivated this?"
Hou Qi said, "Yes, I cultivated them."
Aunt Jing was silent for a while, as if she was digesting the news, and then said, "Let me ask you, can your body-building rice be planted in a large area?"
Hou Qi replied, "Of course it can be planted in a large area. The yield per mu should be no less than 2,000 kilograms. It takes about 25 days from sowing to harvesting." As soon as Hou Qi finished speaking, Aunt Jing was already slumped in her seat.
Meng Youran hurried over. She just told Aunt Jing not to be scared. It seemed that Aunt Jing was really scared. "Aunt Jing, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
After a while, Aunt Jing finally came to her senses and said loudly to Hou Qi, "You little bastard, what are you telling me for? Do you know what will happen if this news gets out? I tell you, the federation
There will never be peace. Foreigners will never let humans have this."
Meng Youran said, "Aunt Jing, why did you tell Hou Qi that you don't have much?"
When Aunt Jing heard what Meng Youran said, she said to Hou Qi, "So you also know the consequences. Then you tell me and drag me into the water. What do you mean?"
Hou Qi said, "Isn't it because Aunt Jing is the closest person to Youran? I plan to make the body-building rice public and let the federation plant it on a large scale. This will not only increase the strength of the federation, but also prevent the common people at the bottom from doing anything for it."
Worrying about resources. Isn’t this bad?”
"Okay? What a fart!" Aunt Jing was so angry that she swore, "Let's not talk about foreigners. Even within the federation, if we knew about this thing, we wouldn't be able to survive tomorrow. You must be sure that everyone hopes that civilians can live without it.
Worried about the cultivation of resources, how can they reflect their status? Now the federation has formed various strata. If this rice spreads, I think there is a high probability that the federation will collapse first."
Meng Youran said, "No, the Strengthening Rice is only helpful to low-level practitioners. After reaching the Yuanshen realm, can't you directly absorb the universe and practice on your own?"
Aunt Jing looked at Meng Youran and said, "The truth is right, but the speed of absorbing cosmic energy in the Yuanshen realm is limited after all. But this rice is a good auxiliary resource, because eating it can recover much faster than absorbing cosmic energy. So this
Growing rice is also useful to the Yuanshen realm, but the demand is a bit high. But as you just said, the yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms, and it only takes 25 days to mature. This is simply an infinite resource that can be grown! Who wouldn’t want to take it for themselves?
Yes!"
Hou Qi said, "I know, that's why I asked the ancestor of the Meng family how he is! If he is not satisfied with the health-strengthening grass, I plan to let Youran use this as a condition to negotiate terms with the ancestor of the Meng family."
Aunt Jing immediately said, "No, we must not tell Meng Gongsu about this. By the way, who else knows about the Qiangshen Rice?"
Hou Qi said, "Now only the three of us know, no one else."
Meng Youran said, "Why can't you tell Grandpa Zu? If you don't tell him, will what he promised me still count?"
Aunt Jing replied, "The reason why I don't tell him is because after telling him, he won't be able to make the decision, and it will be worse. According to his character, the most likely thing is to imprison the three of us. We may never come out again."
So I definitely can’t tell him. The main reason is that the rice grown by this guy is so good. Also, the growth period is too short. If you think the growth period of the body-building grass is 180 days, the growth period of this body-building rice is only 25 days.
It’s too short. The less people know about this kind of thing now, the better. Otherwise it will be a disaster.”
Hou Qi said at this time, "If the growing period is extended to two years and can only be planted once, what do you think, Aunt Jing?"
