In the Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Court.
A meeting of the immortals was in progress.
"My dear ministers, the new Shennong has awakened. Do you have any opinions on how to cultivate him?"
The Jade Emperor stood high above, looking down at the immortals with incomparable majesty.
"Your Majesty, just recruit the new Shennong to the Heavenly Court. With the resources of the Heavenly Court, Shennong can level up quickly."
"That's right. The Heavenly Court hasn't had a Shennong for thousands of years. Now, we're short of all kinds of high-grade materials. If this goes on, the Heavenly Court's operations will stagnate. We have to let Shennong level up quickly."
"I agree. With Shennong, the crisis of the Heavenly Court can be alleviated."
"Shennong is very important to the Heavenly Court. For thousands of years, without Shennong, the Heavenly Court's prestige has been greatly reduced."
"That's right. I've always wanted to make a batch of high-grade immortal pills, but because of the lack of high-grade materials, I can't start the process."
Many of the immortals discussed animatedly, all of them revealing their excitement.
After thousands of years of poverty, a Shennong was finally born. It meant that their good days were coming.
They were very dedicated to cultivating Shennong.
"This is not right. This is very inappropriate."
Suddenly, a voice of objection was heard.
Many immortals looked over. It was Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun's status in the Heavenly Court was extraordinary. Even the Jade Emperor had to respect him because Taishang Laojun was an incarnation left behind by the sage Lord Dao De in the Heavenly Court. He represented the sage.
"Your Majesty, the previous generations of Shennong came out of the mortal world step by step. They experienced life in the mortal world and understood the suffering of the people. Only then did they slowly have an epiphany and finally achieved the position of Shennong. If we directly bring this generation of Shennong to the Heavenly Court, it will only spoil things because he will lose a complete growth process. A Shennong cultivated that way will never achieve much."
Taishang Laojun bowed slightly to the Jade Emperor and glanced at the immortals present.
The Jade Emperor and the other immortals fell silent. Taishang Laojun's words made sense.
These immortals had gone through a long cultivation process. Who knew how many hardships and difficulties they had gone through to achieve what they had today.
Just like that, Taishang Laojun's words convinced the Jade Emperor and the other immortals. Soon, they discussed a plan to cultivate a new Shennong.
…
Earth.
Yufeng Village, J County, China.
The whole village was very secluded. It was surrounded by hills, and there was only a narrow cement road that led to the outside world.
However, the quality of the soil here was not bad. Most of the villagers planted various kinds of cash crops. When they were not farming, they would go out to work. Their lives were still passable.
At the foot of each mountain, there were houses with red and white tiles scattered about.
Today was another thunderstorm.
In the past few months, there had been a lot of rain. Many crops had been affected. Even in June, there would be heavy rain every few days.
Ye Xiaochen was sitting in a simple and crude metal house. Looking at the terrible weather, she was very depressed.
Not far away, there were two large dogs lying lazily with their tongues hanging out.
He was originally a graduate of Southern Province Agricultural University. It wasn't easy for him to find a job, and he didn't have any connections. In the end, he could only enter a sales company and become a salesperson. However, he was introverted and clumsy, so he had some difficulties in communicating with others.
He didn't open for business for two months. In the end, he could only resign dejectedly.
He returned to his hometown and prepared to set up a vegetable and fruit farm. After all, he came from an agricultural background, so it was the most suitable.
At first, her parents did not quite understand. To them, working and living in the city was more dignified. If they came back, wouldn't they have to continue their traditional work as farmers?
Ye Xiaochen talked a lot and finally convinced her parents.
In the end, her parents took out the savings that they had prepared for Ye Xiaochen's wedding. Alright, it was not much. It was only twenty to thirty thousand yuan. After all, the two of them only farmed and occasionally went out to do manual labor. Their annual income was only that much, and they still had to pay for Ye Xiaochen and Ye Ying's school fees and living expenses.
Her father had high blood pressure, and her mother had rheumatism. The medical expenses added up to a large sum.
It was not easy to save twenty to thirty thousand yuan.
Ye Xiaochen used this money and borrowed some from other relatives to gather fifty thousand yuan and contracted a large piece of barren land.
The barren land did not cost much. It was only a few hundred yuan per mu.
The money was mainly spent on building the fence and greenhouses.
Even if Ye Xiaochen tried to save as much as possible, there was not much left after the fence and greenhouses were built. After buying seeds and fertilizers, there was not much left.
Now, Ye Xiaochen's farm was planted with vegetables and fruits in season. For example, cucumbers, green beans, green beans, watermelons, cantaloupes, and so on.
As for sales, he did not have to worry about it for the time being. His uncle's eldest son opened a large supermarket in the county. The vegetables and fruits he planted would be sold in his cousin's supermarket.
It was because of this that Ye Xiaochen dared to build this farm and invest all the savings in it.
"Damn, this damn weather. The output and quality of the vegetables and fruits will definitely be greatly affected."
Ye Xiaochen looked at the vast sky. Occasionally, there would be thunder. He was very depressed.
The vegetables and fruits in season required a lot of sunlight. If there was too much rain, it would affect the output and quality.
Agricultural production was largely dependent on the heavens.
While he was thinking, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
He quickly took it out and saw that it was his cousin, Chen Hao. This Chen Hao was his uncle's eldest son. He opened a supermarket in the county. His father-in-law was an old cadre in the government. He was the deputy director of the Sanitary Bureau. Chen Hao used this relationship to do well in the county.
"Hello, Brother Hao. How come you have time to call me today?"
Ye Xiaochen answered.
"Lil Chen, there's something I have to tell you."
Chen Hao on the other side of the phone was silent. Then he said, "I have promised to buy vegetables and fruits from your farm. But your sister-in-law did not agree. She …"
Ye Xiaochen did not wait for Chen Hao to finish his words. He suddenly understood what was going on. He felt bitter in his heart.
It seemed that it was impossible to sell vegetables and fruits in his cousin's supermarket. He had seen his cousin, Chen Hao's wife, Li Yan. She was a powerful woman. She was very snobbish. She looked down on poor relatives like Ye Xiaochen. Even his uncle and aunt were often bullied.
His cousin's achievements today were largely due to his relationship with his wife's family. Because of this, his cousin's wife, Li Yan, was very powerful. His cousin, Chen Hao, had to obey Li Yan's orders.
"Chen Zi, I'm really sorry. But don't worry. I'll try to find other ways for you."
Chen Hao was a little sorry. After all, he had already promised. If he went back on his word now, it would be very difficult.
"Brother Hao, it's okay. You can rest assured."
Ye Xiaochen was shocked when he said that. His voice seemed to be a little hoarse.
"Hey, Chen Zi, I'll hang up. I'll inform you as soon as there's news."
Chen Hao sighed and hung up the phone.
Ye Xiaochen suddenly had a kind of muddle-headed feeling. The originally bright future seemed to have dimmed all of a sudden. As expected, it was really very, very difficult to rely on others!
He put down the phone beside his ear. Suddenly, the sky and earth darkened. Then a dazzling lightning suddenly fell from the sky and penetrated the shed. Ye Xiaochen did not react. He was hit by the lightning. His whole body seemed to have turned into a lightning man.
Strangely, the shed was not hit by the lightning.
The two lying dogs suddenly stood up. All their hair stood up. They stared at Ye Xiaochen's position and growled.
