"Let's change things up, we'll grill it today," Chen Yongqiang said, as he was indeed getting tired of the other cooking methods.

He picked up the roe deer, walked to the stone platform in the corner of the courtyard, and took out a dagger.

With a flash of the blade, the skin was cleanly sliced ​​open. As blood gushed out, the Qin sisters, hiding behind the kitchen door, gasped in shock.

"Sister, don't look..." Qin Liping covered her eyes, but her fingers peeked through the gaps.

Qin Lijuan bit her lip, staring at the camera with a mixture of fear and curiosity. "I'll just take one more look..."

The most excited of all was Sirius. The wolf cub paced restlessly around the wooden stake, its nostrils twitching, its tail held high, and it let out urgent whimpers.

Whenever Chen Yongqiang peeled off a piece of fur, it would pounce on the ground with its front paws, assuming a hunting posture.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Qin Shan exclaimed sincerely from the side.

"This roe deer is just the right size, it's best roasted. Comrade Yongqiang's cooking skills are even better than the head chef at the commune canteen."

In the kitchen, Liu Jifen was helping Lin Xiulian prepare side dishes.

She glanced at Lin Xiulian, who was busy at the stove, and asked softly, "Xiulian, how far along are you in your pregnancy?"

Lin Xiulian continued working, but a gentle smile appeared on her face: "It was just discovered, less than a month ago."

"Then I'll be here a little earlier than you." Liu Jifen stroked her slightly protruding belly, her eyes full of affection.

"I'm five months along now, and I can feel the baby moving recently."

Lin Hsiu-lien asked in surprise, "Really? What does it feel like?"

"Like little fish swimming inside my belly..." Liu Jifen said, unable to help but laugh.

In the courtyard, Chen Yongqiang had already taken good care of the roe deer.

He skillfully skewered the meat onto the iron skewer, the crackling of the burning charcoal filling the air.

Sirius lay down not far from the fire, wolfing down the scraps.

The aroma of roasted meat soon filled the yard. Chen Yongqiang went to the back of the house and picked a few cucumbers and eggplants from the vegetable patch.

When he returned to the courtyard, Qin Shan's eyes were immediately drawn to the vegetables in his hand.

"Comrade Yongqiang, how did you grow these vegetables?" The man, who had an agricultural background, adjusted his glasses and took a cucumber to examine it carefully.

This cucumber is a bit thicker than usual, and its skin is bright green and plump.

"It's probably because it's close to home and I water it often," Chen Yongqiang lied without batting an eye. In fact, all these vegetables had been watered with spiritual spring water.

As he sprinkled spices onto the roasted meat, he casually asked, "Technician Qin, what's a good way to quickly cultivate apple tree seedlings? For example, how to cultivate 15 acres of seedlings in a short period of time?"

Qin Shan was still stroking the unusual cucumber when he heard this and looked up: "Conventional grafting is too slow. If you're in a hurry, you can try propagation by cuttings. Select strong branches, treat them with growth hormone, and then insert them into the seedbed."

He suddenly lowered his voice, "Our experimental station is currently researching a new type of root-promoting agent."

Chen Yongqiang paused slightly as he flipped the grilled meat.

There was no mention of Qin Shan's family in my past life memories, so it seems that the choices I made after being reborn have indeed changed some of my life's trajectory.

"The only apple tree in the space has vigorous branches, and the spiritual spring water is the best root-promoting agent." Chen Yongqiang already had a plan in mind.

Chen Yongqiang and Qin Shan continued their conversation about agricultural knowledge.

"There's also a very advanced tissue culture seedling method abroad," Qin Shan said, adjusting his glasses.

"Tissue culture?" Chen Yongqiang had some impression of the term, but in his previous life he had not been very knowledgeable about agriculture and did not know the specific operation.

"In a sterile laboratory, plant tissues are cultured using a specially made nutrient solution. A small piece of leaf can be used to cultivate thousands of seedlings," Qin Shan explained.

Her tone was filled with longing, "It's just a pity that our domestic conditions are limited, and we can't do it yet, sigh!"

These words struck Chen Yongqiang like a thunderbolt. Wasn't his system space the ideal sterile laboratory? Was there any nutrient solution more effective than the spiritual spring water?

He slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Comrade Yongqiang, what's wrong with you?" Qin Shan was startled by his sudden action.

"It's nothing, my legs are just a little numb." Chen Yongqiang suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Could you explain the specific procedures for tissue culture?"

The aroma of roasted meat filled the entire courtyard, and the sizzling sound of oil dripping onto the charcoal fire whetted people's appetites.

"Come on, everyone, have a taste." Chen Yongqiang called out to everyone as he distributed the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside roe deer meat to plates.

They also specially placed several roasted eggplants, which were soft, tender, and fragrant, in front of Lin Xiulian and Liu Jifen.

"You two should try this. Roasted eggplant is milder and better for your health."

Qin Shan took the first bite of the roe deer meat, his eyes immediately lighting up as he exclaimed, "Delicious! So delicious! The cooking is just right, the outer skin is crispy, and the inside is tender and juicy! Comrade Yongqiang, your cooking is superb!"

The Qin sisters then moved out of the kitchen, took the plate, and ate in small bites, their faces showing both lingering fear from the bloody scene and satisfaction from tasting the delicious food.

The most excited of all was Sirius, who had been given a bone with a little meat on it. He was lying in the corner, holding it tightly with his two front paws, gnawing on it with a loud whimper.

In the kitchen, Liu Jifen took a bite of roasted eggplant, the soft, smooth eggplant flesh melting in her mouth with the aroma of minced garlic and sauce.

She sighed contentedly, then turned to Lin Xiulian: "Xiulian, how are you feeling now? Do you have any particular cravings for sour foods, or are you feeling tired?"

Lin Xiulian's face showed the shyness of a new mother: "It's okay, it's just that sometimes the smell of oil is a bit stuffy, and I get tired more easily than usual."

"That's how it is," Liu Jifen said with a smile, speaking as someone who's been through it all.

"You need to be careful during the first three months, but it will get better after that. If you have any questions or feel unwell later, feel free to ask me."

Tonight's conversation with Qin Shan was like planting a seed in Chen Yongqiang's heart; a plan to accelerate seedling growth using space has quietly taken shape in his mind.

The Qin sisters ate with their mouths glistening with oil, saying it was the most delicious barbecue they had ever eaten in their lives.

If Qin Shan hadn't urged them repeatedly, the two sisters would still have stayed by the charcoal fire, gazing longingly at the few remaining pieces of meat on the rack.

After seeing the guests off, Lin Xiulian cleaned up the dishes while muttering a complaint: "The Qin family comes to our house for meals every day. Even if we have a lot of money, it will be eaten up."

Chen Yongqiang explained, "You're always focusing on the immediate rice and grain. That Qin Shan is a technician at the agricultural research institute; he's got real skills. The tissue culture seedling method he talked about today could bring our family a fortune in the future."

"What tissue culture or whatever?" Lin Xiulian clearly didn't understand.

"Simply put, it's a method to make our apple orchard bear fruit two years earlier." Chen Yongqiang knew this very well.
