Chapter 152: Vegetable Garden

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Erina nodded as if she understood, and then turned her attention to the bean sprouts and bean sprouts: "There are quite a lot of bean sprouts planted in pots. Why are there only three pots of bean sprouts?"

"Because bean sprouts grow slower. So if you eat them regularly, you need to plant a few more pots to meet the demand." Yoshiyuki said this, and then paused before continuing: "And bean sprouts, there is a fatal Disadvantage - once it grows and is not cut off as soon as possible, it will rot! In this case, it will be very troublesome if you plant too much and cannot eat it quickly. "

"Huh? Really?" Erina was a little surprised: "Yoshiyuki, you really know a lot! This is something I haven't learned in agronomy class! I've never seen you grow bean sprouts in water at home. How do you know this? Do you also rely on that program?”

"Ah no. I saw this accidentally on the Internet." Yi Xing complained: "There are always all kinds of messy things on the Internet, right? I often see these interesting life tips by accident! For example, when fishing I didn’t catch anything, so I took someone else’s cow back and so on.”

"Hey, can that generally be considered a life hack?!"

Just when Erina was complaining like this, Sakurayuki Chiai came out with a tea tray.

She saw the three of them chatting in front of the shelf, so she came over with a smile and asked them if they wanted to take a look at the vegetable garden since they had already come here.

"Hey? Is there a vegetable garden?" Erina suddenly became interested: "I want to see it! Where is it?"

"It's over there." Yingxue pointed to the nearby corner: "Go there, open the outdoor sliding door and you will reach the vegetable garden. Can you go and have a look first? I will come over after preparing the tea."

Since Sakurazuki Chiai said this, Yoshiyuki and Erina of course suddenly became interested.

They just walked around the corner, opened the wooden door, and saw a small vegetable patch surrounded by a wall.

Here, there is also a bluestone water well that looks quite old - the pool of the Teisuisha. It is probably filled by Yingxue carrying water from here every day.

The distance is not too far. This is still very gratifying.

Probably for the sake of aesthetics and not destroying the sacred atmosphere, the vegetable field is surrounded on three sides and cannot be seen from the shrine yard.

You can only enter through the two sliding doors of Yingxue's house.

Behind the sliding door, there is a short stone step leading to the yard.

This is a design found in traditional Japanese houses with outdoor sliding doors that are not entrance doors. The material is occasionally made of wood.

The reason why there is such a step is that it is convenient for people to put their feet on it when sitting there with the door open.

It is also equivalent to dividing a boundary between the outdoor ground and the indoor area to remind you that you need to take off your shoes here.

In this traditional Japanese style room with tatami mats, you have to take off your shoes when entering the room. Wear slippers only when using the restroom, washroom, laundry room and showering.

The Yida family has a semi-traditional design. That is to say, you need to take off your shoes in specific rooms such as your own room, living room, and calligraphy room. This is not required in corridors and other places.

Yoshiyuki could see that Sakurayuki Chiai's work clothes and mud-stained boots were placed in a cabinet nearby.

Since there are no shoes that can be worn out here, and it would be too troublesome to go to the entrance to get them, it would be nice to just stand here and look at the situation in the yard.

The yard is not too big, but it maximizes the use of space and grows many things.

At the same time, a chicken shed was also built.

There were several hens walking around inside.

The only rooster stood above the chicken coop, staring at them with its chest raised, as if to declare its sovereignty.

Probably, Yingxue wakes up to the crow of the rooster every morning - it's really a very primitive and natural alarm clock.

"Hey, Yi Xing. What are you growing here?"

Erina looked around curiously and asked:

"Miss, you don't know anyone, right?" Yoshiyuki pointed to the cucumber stand and eggplant tree not far away: "At least those people should understand, right?"

"I'm not blind! Of course I know!" Erina complained: "I want to ask what the other ones are! They haven't grown yet!"

"Miss, you just mentioned the agronomy class, but you have basically forgotten all about it! Fortunately, you grew up in the countryside."

"What can I do! Who told me that I didn't even bother with this!"

"Why do you say so confidently?"

Yoshiyuki was really helpless that Erina had hearing problems in her left ear and right ear.

In fact, he has told Erina the names of these vegetables many times since childhood.

But after listening to it, she could remember it for a week.

I still have to ask again and again.

"Let's talk from left to right. They are tomatoes, potatoes, radishes..."

"Oh! That's it! It's the first time I've seen potato seedlings look like this!"

"How could this be the first time? Miss, please use your brain a little and remember what it looks like!"

"Humph, Yoshiyuki, why are you impatient! If I remember everything, what do I want from you?"

"No, no, I have many other uses! Only a forgetful old lady needs a servant to keep reminding her of what she has forgotten!"

"Okay! How dare you call me an old lady?! You scumbag servant only deserves to be stepped on by me! Kneel down and apologize!"

"Yes, Master." Yi Xing immediately knelt down and asked excitedly: "Then... when can you step on me?"

"What a pervert! Get up! Who wants to step on you! Believe it or not, I will kick you into the vegetable patch!"

"What?! This... Although washing clothes is still a bit troublesome, it seems like a good idea to do this! Hurry, hurry!"

"Ah, that's enough! It's disgusting! Stand up! Wait until there's no one around at night and see if I don't trample you to death! I'll trample you all over!"

"Yeah - wait, please don't do this no matter what! It will kill people! Absolutely!"

"Anyway, you pervert, get up! Yingxue will be back in a minute!"

Yoshiyuki was kicked in anger by the blushing Erina. Then, under the tug of the eldest lady, he stood up unsteadily.

Fortunately, Qianai Sakurayuki was not nearby - in fact, if those words just now were likely to be heard, they would never say it.

But it was this feeling of being discovered that made them feel very excited.

As a result, Yi Xing came up with many bold ideas.

Maybe... I can find more opportunities to try it in my college life in the future!

Of course, if you are discovered, you may face social death!

He still didn't want outsiders to know these things.

Otherwise... everyone would probably look at him strangely!

If he was really exposed, he wouldn't be able to hang around in school.

I'm afraid I can only dress up as a woman and pretend to be Maekawa Yoshiyuki's sister - Maekawa Sakurako or something!
