Extraordinary Farming System

Chapter 13
"Oh, you said you were going to pick up your colleagues, why did you carry it back!" Seeing Qin Tao carrying Zhou Yutong back home, Qi Meng was suddenly unhappy, and taunted Qin Tao with wide eyes.

"The bicycle broke down on the road, and Sister Yutong sprained her foot and couldn't walk." Qin Tao explained.

"Sister Yutong... what you call is so kind!" Qi Meng imitated Qin Tao's speech and deliberately lengthened the tail tone.

"Hurry up and put the girl on the kang. You haven't eaten yet at this late hour. My daughter, go and heat up the food." Uncle Ming came over to help Qin Tao support Zhou Yutong and asked Qi Meng to prepare the food.

Qi Meng stamped her feet angrily and muttered in a low voice: "It would be better if he starves to death!" After saying this, he walked towards the kitchen.

"That is my sister Qi Meng, who is young and ignorant. This is Uncle Ming. I told you before. Uncle Ming, this is Zhou Yutong." Qin Tao carried Zhou Yutong to the edge of the kang, put him down gently, and supported him on the bed. Sitting on the kang, we introduced each other.

"Young girl is really beautiful. Taozi told me that you took good care of her in the county. When you come to our house, you treat her like your own. Don't let anyone else see you." Uncle Ming chatted with Zhou Yutong with a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Ming." Zhou Yutong nodded to Uncle Ming, and glanced at Qin Tao shyly. It was the first time she met Qin Tao's family, and she was inevitably a little shy.

"How old is the girl?" Uncle Ming saw that Zhou Yutong was a little shy, and chatted about homework.

"I'm 24 years old this year." Zhou Yutong replied.

"Sister Yutong, sit down first, I'll get some herbs to treat your foot injury."

"It doesn't matter to me, let's talk about it after dinner." Zhou Yutong was a little embarrassed about Qin Tao's concern, and shyly shied away.

Qin Tao smiled at Zhou Yutong, turned around and walked out of the house. During the day, the spiritual grass dug up by the villagers was still piled up in the yard. Qin Tao found some that had the effect of treating bruises, and mashed the spiritual grass into a paste for use Topical application.

Qin Tao had just finished preparing the herbs when Qi Meng called at the door of the house: "It's time to eat!"

"Here we come." Qin Tao responded, packed up the herbs and walked over. When he passed by Qi Meng, Qi Meng stretched out her soft little hand and twisted Qin Tao's side hard. Qin Tao's face twitched in pain. , Qi Meng squinted her eyes and "hummed", and ran into the house, leaving Qin Tao alone with a wry smile and shaking his head.

Uncle Ming and Qi Meng had already eaten, and Qin Tao and Zhou Yutong sat opposite each other, chatting while eating.The food is not very rich, but very warm.

If it weren't for Qi Meng who turned over the vinegar altar.

"Why do you always pick up food for others? Your foot is sprained, but your hand is not hurt."

"Sister Yutong is a guest, please stop making trouble, Xiaomeng." Qin Tao looked helpless.

"Sister Qimeng is so cute. I used to hear Taozi talk about you in the county town. I really envy you." Zhou Yutong was not angry at Qimeng's sarcasm, and talked to Qimeng with a smile.

"Why do you envy me?" Qi Meng asked curiously.

"I'm envious that you are Taozi's younger sister. Taozi said that you are his favorite person, and that he worked hard to make money for you."

"He really said that?" Qi Meng looked at Qin Tao with a puzzled face and asked Zhou Yutong.

"Ahem, let's eat." Qin Tao felt a little embarrassed.

"Of course, more than once or twice."

"Then what else did he say about me?" Qi Meng stared at Zhou Yutong intently, dragging her face with her hands and asking.

"Let me think about it. I also said that I want you to be admitted to a good university. If you can be admitted to a good university, he will do anything."

Qi Meng was talking to Zhou Yutong and glanced at Qin Tao from time to time. Qin Tao had never said these words to her face to face, and Qi Meng was moved in her heart.

Qi Meng and Zhou Yutong chatted around Qin Tao, and the two gradually became acquainted.

The two talked with each other one sentence at a time. At first, Zhou Yutong and Qi Meng talked about Qin Tao’s time in Guanshan County. Gradually, Qi Meng also opened up the conversation and told Zhou Yutong about Qin Tao’s childhood. At the age of 13, he climbed a tree to pick out a bird's egg and fell it. Whenever Qin Tao wanted to defend himself, the two glared at Qin Tao sideways, and Qin Tao could only hold back his words.Qin Tao's face was covered with black lines.

After finishing the meal, Qi Meng and Zhou Yutong had reached the point where they could talk about everything. They sat on the kang holding hands, showing no intention of stopping.

Qin Tao cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, took out the herbal medicine prepared earlier, and was about to apply it on Zhou Yutong's feet, but Qi Meng who was on the side came up and grabbed the medicine, and said impatiently: "Go, go, don't touch me. Miss Yutong."

Seeing Zhou Yutong's smiling eyes blinking at him, Qin Tao was speechless.

Qi Meng applied the medicine to Zhou Yutong, took out gauze to wrap it up, and tied a bow on it after treatment.

After applying the medicine, Qin Tao said to Qimeng: "Xiaomeng, Sister Yutong is very tired today, let her rest early, don't disturb Sister Yutong."

Reluctantly, Qi Meng grabbed Zhou Yutong's hand, rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Why don't Sister Yutong sleep with me?"

"Okay." Zhou Yutong replied with a smile, and made a reassuring gesture to Qin Tao.

Qi Meng helped Zhou Yutong to go to his room, Qin Tao came up to help, but Qi Meng stared away, looking at the two who looked like sisters, and thinking about Qi Meng who was full of jealousy not long ago, Qin Tao felt helpless.Come on, the house was cleaned up for nothing.

The medicine prepared by Qi Tao had obvious effects. After one night, the redness and swelling on Zhou Yutong's feet had subsided. Zhou Yutong turned his ankle and moved freely, as if he hadn't been injured at all yesterday.

After breakfast, Zhou Yutong suggested that Qin Tao take her to the medicine garden.Qin Tao wanted Zhou Yutong to rest, but Zhou Yutong refused.

"What do you think about the workshop?" Zhou Yutong suddenly asked Qin Tao when the two were checking in the medicine garden.

"The place has been selected, and it will be over there when the engineering team arrives." As he spoke, Qin Tao pointed to an open space at the foot of Yaoyuan Mountain.

"That's not what I'm talking about. The mountain road was just passed yesterday, and the engineering team arrived two days later. The construction materials cannot be brought in, and it will be inconvenient to transport medicines in the future." Zhou Yutong expressed his thoughts.

"This question..." Qin Tao thought about it after hearing Zhou Yutong's thoughts.

"Buy a donkey!" Zhou Yutong smiled, looked at Qin Tao and said.

"Qi Fei, you don't have to go up the mountain tomorrow." In the evening, Qin Tao found Qi Fei.

"Brother Tao, did something go wrong with digging the medicine?" Qi Fei became worried when he heard that Qin Tao told him not to dig the medicine tomorrow.

"No, you did a good job digging the medicine. Tomorrow you go to a few nearby villages. If anyone has donkeys, horses and mules, buy them for me no matter how much they cost. If they really don't want to sell them, you can rent them. "Qin Tao told Qi Fei.

"It's easy to handle. I'll go there tomorrow morning."

"Well, this matter is very urgent. In the past few days, you have been running around the surrounding villages more."

"Don't worry, Brother Tao!"

"After negotiating the price, let them deliver the donkey to my house."

"Understood Brother Tao."

After that, Qin Tao called Zhao Xiang and asked Zhao Xiang to help him see if he could buy a donkey in Guanshan County.

At noon the next day, Qin Tao came back from the medicine garden and walked to the entrance of the village. An old man led two donkeys. When he saw Qin Tao, he came up to say hello, "Young man, how do you get to Qin Tao's house in your village?"

"Master, I am Qin Tao."

"You are Qin Tao, that's easy to handle. Didn't you want to buy a donkey, and I brought it to you."

"Master, go, go to my house to get money."

"The kid said that a donkey will give you 3000 yuan. Let me tell you, my donkey is very strong, and I can carry two to three hundred catties without breathing!"

Qin Tao led the old man home, gave the old man 6000 yuan, and kept the donkey.

"Young man, when feeding the donkey, dry the grass before feeding, or you will get a bad stomach after eating." Before leaving, the old man did not forget to tell Qin Tao.

"Understood, sir, please walk slowly." Qin Tao waved goodbye to the old man.

"Okay, go back, don't send it away."

After the old man left, Qin Tao went to the village head again, and asked the old village head to help find a few folks who could raise donkeys, who would be responsible for raising donkeys in the future.

Throughout the afternoon, nearby villagers successively came to deliver donkeys and several mules to Qin Tao, all at a price of around [-].

In the evening, Zhao Xiang called and asked someone to find a few donkeys in Guanshan County, so that Qin Tao could go and have a look at them when he had time.

Two days later, all the donkeys and horses in the nearby villages were bought by Qin Tao. Including the few donkeys Zhao Xiang found, there were more than 20 donkeys in total.

"It's almost enough." Qin Tao looked at the donkey shed that had just been built in the past two days, and there were a few donkey brays in it from time to time, so he stopped Qi Fei.

"Taozi, Mr. Zhao called just now, saying that the engineering team hired by Sister Yun has arrived and asked you to go to the county seat tomorrow." Zhou Yutong called Qin Tao, and said from behind.

"We're here! Then I'll go to the county seat tomorrow. I'm sorry to trouble you here, Sister Yutong."

"You're welcome."

The next day, Qin Tao went to Guanshan County.

"Let me introduce, this is Qin Tao, Tao Zi, and this is Captain Wang of the engineering team." Several people met, and Zhao Xiang introduced each other.

"President Qin! Hello, hello!" Captain Wang stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Captain Wang, hello." Qin Tao stretched out his hand and shook Captain Wang's hand.

"You're welcome. I need more advice from Mr. Qin in the future." Captain Wang took out a cigarette and handed it to Qin Tao.Qin Tao shook his hand, saying no.

"Captain Wang, do you understand the situation over there?" Qin Tao said.

"I heard from Mr. Zhao that it is in the countryside and the conditions are not very developed. But don't worry, the people I brought are all master craftsmen, including bricklayers and carpenters. You can just give the orders when the time comes."

Several people then talked about some things. Qin Tao and Zhao Xiang were going to see the donkeys that Zhao Xiang got, and then he took the engineering team to Qiyun Village.

On the mountain road from Guanshan County to Qiyun Village, more than 20 engineering team members were riding in donkey carts. Captain Wang frowned into a line. The situation was even worse than he had imagined.

"Boss Qin, I have been working in construction for more than ten years, and this is the first time I went to the site by donkey cart." Captain Wang complained.

"The place is a bit out of the way, but don't worry, when the workshop is completed, I will definitely not lose you."

"That's not what I mean, Mr. Qin, don't think too much." Captain Wang explained.

When Qin Tao led the engineering team back to Qiyun Village, it was already dark.Qin Tao arranged for them to stay at a villager's house and prepare to start building the workshop the next day.
