Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 214 What is Science?

a few days later.

The two-story wooden house has been completely formed thanks to the hard work of Pat and others.

Although there are still many areas that need to be improved, you can basically move in directly.

So Xia Heyu asked two sheriffs to carry Minnie's parents to the second floor of the cabin late at night on the previous day.

The next morning, Xia He and Minian also moved in.

Looking at the room that was almost the same structure as his bedroom in his previous life, Xia He lay on the wooden bed with a smile on his face.

"Then, for the next period of time, I will just stay here and grow up."

I will wait until I am ten years old before leaving the mountain and go to the sea to look for an opportunity to trigger a mission...

But then again, if I could recover my attributes to over 300 points from my previous life, what level would that be in this pirate world?

He muttered inwardly.

After resting for a while, Xia He put on a mask and went to the second floor to check on Minian's parents.

Because Casiri was infected by his wife, he had just been ill for a short time. With the help of Xia He's medicine and diet therapy, he is almost recovered. Now he just needs to stay in the room for observation for about a week to make sure the test results are no longer positive, and then he can go out freely.

Minian's mother, Mili, has been seriously ill for a year and still needs treatment.

"Thank you, Xia He, thank you for saving my life."

Casiri fell to his knees on the ground. Even though Xia He tried to support him many times, he still insisted on kowtowed twice to him.

"I will take care of you from now on until you find your biological parents."

"Xia He, if you need us, just let me know."

When the sheriffs heard what Cassilli said, they patted their chests and said with confidence: "You saved our lives. We are all ready to go through fire and water for you at any time."

"But you are less than one year old this year. There shouldn't be anything that would require us to risk our lives for it, right?" Pat muttered softly.

That worried expression, which didn't look like an act at all, made everyone burst out laughing.

The large two-story wooden house is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It was a rare occasion that everyone was so happy, so Xia He immediately walked to the vacant courtyard outside the house, set up the pot, and planned to steam some rice for everyone.

He poured the well water into the rice and while washing it, he thought about his future plans.

First of all, if you want to survive in this place, you naturally have to learn how to plant crops.

After all, the level of cultivation on Roccadilli Island is limited to wheat and fruits.

And the yield rate is extremely low.

Not to mention other seeds such as vegetables, the villagers in the village can almost be said to know nothing about them.

Because of this, most of them make a living by hunting and fishing, occasionally taking a boat to other islands to sell some seasonal fruits or animal skins, and then use the money to exchange for some daily necessities.

In this way, for decades, although we were far from wealthy, everyone lived a relatively comfortable life.

"We need to improve the living standards of the village a little bit on this basis, but we can't develop it too much to avoid being targeted by pirates..."

He talked to himself, then put the rice into the pot, lit the fire and cooked it slowly.

When the rice was half cooked and the soup began to overflow, he scooped up the half-cooked rice with a spoon, placed it in the "steamer", and steamed it thoroughly with the help of steam.

After everything was done, I immediately covered the lid to maintain the temperature and aroma, then turned around and walked back to the fire, and started frying the wild pheasant eggs I had picked up in the mountains this morning.

"First, let's have fried shrimp and eggs, then steamed clams and eggs, hairy crabs, braised hairtail, and stir-fried squid..."

He counted today's dishes and glanced at the large number of scallops piled in a basket nearby. He thought that with so much food, there would definitely be enough for dinner tonight.

As for where these seafood come from...

Of course, the five sheriffs in the family went to the sea and caught them with fishing nets. Oh, the scallops were sent by the village chief of Kedemo, filling several sacks. It would probably take a long time to finish eating all of them.

"It would be a real headache if there was no refrigerator."

Xia He tasted the scrambled eggs and muttered to himself.

at the same time.

Some villagers passing by looked at the two-story wooden house with curiosity. When they saw Xia He holding a soup spoon bigger than his fist and stirring the dish, they couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.

"Is that child...cooking?"

"It seems so."

"Such a young child...cooking?"

“You’re really capable.”

"You are worthy of being Dr. Minnian's brother."

"But where are their parents?" someone asked curiously.

"I heard that he suffered a serious injury, so he has been recuperating at home."

"Is that so... then the injury must be quite serious. After all, even a doctor as skilled as Dr. Minian needs such a long time to heal it."

The conversation faded away.

Afterwards, many villagers passed by here and were attracted by the fragrance. They stopped one after another and swallowed their saliva frantically.

"What does this smell like?"

"It smells... so good."

"Is Dr. Minnian's family having dinner?"

"What are they eating? Cake? Miru wants to eat cake too..."

A little boy tugged at his mother's skirt and said expectantly.

For him, only delicious food like cake could emit such an enticing aroma.

"Be good. After a while, when the oranges at home are ripe, Mom will go to another island to sell the fruits, and then buy you a cake." The woman gently stroked the boy's hair and comforted him with a smile.

cake?

It’s good enough if we can eat it twice a year.

After all, a small piece would cost tens of thousands of Baileys. After buying daily necessities, few people would have spare money left to buy such "luxury" things.

Soon, the woman took the little boy's hand and quickly left the vicinity of the two-story wooden house.

Xia He, who was sitting by the window on the first floor and enjoying his meal, murmured after seeing this scene: "Well, it seems that the rural revitalization plan needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

……

"I brought these seeds from other islands. There are almost all kinds of vegetables and fruits."

Minian, wearing a white coat, stood in front of the villagers headed by the village chief Kedemo and distributed the seeds in her pocket one by one.

The villagers took it curiously.

Then, Minnie Ann continued, "Also, I have seen your planting method before. It is unscientific and needs to be improved in order to harvest more fruits."

"Um... Doctor Minian." A villager raised his hand.

"Do you have any questions?" Minian looked at him with a smile.

"What is 'science'?" The villager blinked.
