The fairy of space also farms

The eleventh holiday has finally arrived in the anticipation of everyone.In the golden autumn season, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the fields are colorful, and the melons and fruits are fragrant. It is really a good day for traveling.The strawberry harvesting season in Qianlong Village has ushered in another peak harvest season. Although there is no gimmick like the Strawberry Picking Festival, Qianlong Village has long been famous. When the holidays come, everyone has already used to run here.

Xu Ning started to sign up for the Roasted Whole Lamb event very early. First, we need to count the number of people, so that we can decide how big a lamb to roast.Because it was publicized when picking fruits in summer, many people were looking forward to this day, and quite a few people came.It only costs 100 yuan per person to eat roasted whole lamb, which is definitely a bargain. After all, Xu Ning’s mutton sells for 50 yuan a catty.

Of course, Xu Ning wouldn't be at a disadvantage either. People who came to his house to sign up would have one dinner, and then eat roast lamb after dinner.It is impossible for him to make a lot of money by engaging in this activity. After all, the things in his house are not cheap. His main purpose is to attract people to come to play, stay and spend.

On the eleventh day, many guests who came to play came to Xu Ning's house to sign up for roast lamb.Because it was a bonfire party, the roast lamb could not be eaten until evening, and it was already late after eating, so most people chose to stay overnight in the village.Tourists have visited it. The houses of the B&Bs are bright and clean, the beds are clean, and the cost is not expensive. It costs 30 yuan a night, and a single room is enough for a family to live in. It is quite cheap and ok. Experience country life.There are also some people who drive here by themselves, and they drive back after eating roast lamb.

In the afternoon, Xu Ning slaughtered a [-]-jin sheep according to the number of applicants.He and Xun Xu first marinated the mutton with various ingredients and spices, and waited until the sky darkened and the bonfire was lit before roasting the mutton.In the evening, some of Xu Ning's classmates also arrived. He and Xun Xu drove to the train station to pick them up. Because there were a lot of people, both cars drove away.The BMW car is rarely used. It was originally intended to pick up Ge Ying and the others, but they drove here by themselves.Now that Xu Ning's classmates are here, it is finally useful.

Xu Ning's classmate saw his BMW and exclaimed, "Wow, the shotgun has changed. The monitor, didn't you say that you bought a pickup truck, and now you have bought the luxury version X5. This landlord deserves it. It's so amazing." People are envious!"

Xu Ning laughed: "My partner Xunxu bought this car, and I drove it to support the scene." He said and introduced Xunxu to several of his classmates.

Everyone got in the car, and those who couldn't fit in the BMW took the Xunxu pickup.Xun Xu was driving a pickup and seeing Xu Ning running in front of him in a shiny and gorgeous BMW, he was also very happy, and he could save face for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning said while driving: "Everyone is hungry, we will have dinner when we get back, and there will be roasted whole lamb at night."

A classmate named Huazi said: "Don't be so grand, and entertain us with roasted whole lamb."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's not just to entertain you. I held a bonfire party today. Many tourists came and paid for it. They want to eat roasted whole lamb. You are also here, so we happened to be together."

When they got home, the group of tourists had already been eating under the arrangement of Zhou Shusen.Set up a dining table directly in the yard, a table for eight people, eight dishes and one soup, four meat and four vegetarian dishes, most of which are from Xu Ning’s farm. The meat dishes include boiled chicken, pickled fish, boiled shrimp, and dried loach. The four vegetarian dishes are tofu mixed with shallots, cowpea eggplant, fungus yuba and Chinese cabbage. In addition, there is a tomato and egg soup, and the rice is full.

There were a lot of people who signed up to eat roasted lamb, about 100 in total, and everyone saw that Xu Ning had only killed one sheep, and they were still wondering whether Xu Ning was too stingy.But after eating this dinner, everyone felt that even if the [-] yuan was not eaten, it was worth it. His food is really delicious, not to mention the roast lamb. A real person.

Xu Ning arranged for his classmates to go to eat first. Their dishes are naturally more abundant than those outsiders. In addition to eight dishes and one soup, there are also steamed crabs, braised mountain rats, and fried eel sections. Some tourists came into the house When I saw the big crabs on their table, I shouted: "Boss, we want to eat crabs too!"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Yes, the crab is 25 yuan a piece, and there is no processing fee."

The guest bared his teeth: "It's really expensive!"

Xu Ning said: "I have clearly marked the price, and you are not deceiving. I sell it wholesale, and it is 25 pieces. The retail and wholesale prices are the same. It is really not expensive. If the boss wants to eat, he will buy it from my house when he returns. Buy a few, and pair it with glutinous rice liqueur, it tastes better than prawns."

The man smelled the smell of crabs and sniffed: "Really? Then I'll buy more, is there a discount?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "[-]% off."

"Cut, stingy!" The guest smiled and waved away.

Xu Ning's classmates couldn't understand their dialect, but they could understand the numbers. Hua Zi asked, "Squad leader, you only sell crabs for 25 yuan each?"

Xu Ning laughed: "Yes."

Hua Zi said: "Your crab tastes no worse than Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, and they are not too small, but the price is too cheap. Super-grade hairy crabs cost hundreds of dollars each." Hua Zi is from Jiangsu. Authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

Xu Ning laughed: "Hairy crabs are famous, and there are many people who eat them. I sell 25 crabs here, and customers think it's expensive."

Huazi shook his head and said, "Then you haven't found the right sales channel."

Xu Ning grinned: "Actually, I'm not at a loss for 25 pieces. If it's cheaper, more people can eat it."

Hua Zi nodded and said, "That's right. It is estimated that those crab farmers actually sold it at about the same price, and then they were fired up when they reached the terminal market. How did you raise it?"

Xu Ning said: "I just threw it in the valley and fed it like that."

"You are really good! The water here is actually suitable for raising crabs." Huazi said.

"Yeah, I didn't think of that either."

Xu Ning's classmates are different from Ge Ying and the others. That group of people has seen everything, while Xu Ning's classmates are ordinary working-class people. Occasionally, they can only have a big meal when they meet the company's annual meeting. Fan successfully conquered them.

"Squad leader, it's no wonder you're living younger and younger. Your life here is really good. You are the owner, and you have good food and drink. Compared with you, our life was in dire straits. Look at you The house, look at your car, and the food and drink. It has completely surpassed the standard of living in a well-off society. We have just solved our food and clothing, and we are still working hard on the road to a well-off life." Wang Chen, who is slightly fat with glasses, said enviously explain.

Xu Ning chuckled: "You only saw the result, not the process. You didn't see it when I was working in the fields under the sun in August; I got up at four or five in the morning to deliver the vegetables; During the heavy rain, I had to brave the storm to go outside to look at the water; things were damaged by hail and I couldn’t sell them, so I had to find a way to deal with them. Risks and benefits coexist, and every hard work is paid for by sweat. At least you can guarantee your harvest in drought and flood.”

Wang Chen nodded: "That's right."

Huazi patted Xu Ning on the shoulder and said, "You have everything, the only thing left is your wife and children. When we get married, we must come over for a wedding wine."

Xu Ning smiled and waved his hands: "I don't want to mention this for now, you just come to my place to eat, drink and have fun."

Xun Xu was eating quietly at first, but when he heard Hua Zi say this, he immediately became a little unhappy. With so many people, no one ever mentioned Xu Ning getting married, not even Xu Jingshan. , Although he can't control it, it also makes him very upset.

In fact, it is human nature for Hua Zi to say this, and he didn't know that Xu Ning and Xun Xu were together.

For a while, the atmosphere at the table was a bit cold, Wang Chen hurriedly said: "Huazi come to drink, this glutinous rice wine tastes really good, ladies can also drink some."

Xu Ning said: "This wine is harvested from the glutinous rice grown by my own family, but it has more stamina. Tonight there will be a roasted whole lamb, so I'd better drink less and stay awake to eat lamb."

After dinner, it was already dark.The bonfire was set on the grass in the back mountain. Xu Ning and Xun Xu took a piece out. It was very flat, and the whole sheep was carried over.The bonfire was lit, and the fire for roasting the lamb was also lit, and everyone sat around the fire.Zhou Shusen and Xun Xu were in charge of roasting the lamb, Xu Ning was in charge of the logistics, delivering drinks, melons, fruit and snacks for everyone, and Guo Shanshan was in charge of hosting and mobilizing the atmosphere.

Everyone was chatting while eating melon seeds. This kind of outdoor gathering experience was unfamiliar to many people, so it was naturally novel and exciting.Guo Shanshan first called a group of children to perform the opening show for everyone. These children are the children of tourists. They have been playing in Xu Ning’s yard and the back hill all afternoon. Guo Shanshan has already greeted them and lined up. programme.

Today's children love to show off, and it's a piece of cake to perform a show in front of people, not to mention Zhou Shusen's honey cake baked as a bait, they are not afraid that they will not follow.Guo Shanshan has already tried cakes for everyone, as long as the performance is over, everyone will have a small cake.Although the cake was not as big as a palm, it was beautifully made. It was spread with honey and cream, and a bright red strawberry was dotted on it.

After the children performed the show, Guo Shanshan turned her target to the adults.The adults are reserved to save face and refuse to take the initiative to perform. Guo Shanshan has a way. If she refuses to take the initiative, she will take turns. She still plays the drum to pass the flowers. This time it is a real drum. She bought it on her own initiative to arouse the atmosphere.In such a large circle, whoever gets the flowers will perform. Singing, dancing, performing talents, and telling jokes are all acceptable.It's about having fun.

Fortunately, there are many people, everyone comes out to play, and there are not many people who know each other. If you don’t perform well, you are not afraid of losing face. What’s more, most of the people who come here are parents.

Everyone was eating, drinking and playing, and the smell of roasted lamb finally came out, making people who were already full swallow their saliva again, it was so delicious.

In the clear night sky with no moon, the stars are very close to the wilderness. After everyone's turmoil, they don't want to talk. Looking up at the starry sky that has been forgotten for a long time, the mood is extraordinarily broad and peaceful.

Xu Ning sat with his classmates, drinking beer, nibbling melon seeds, and recounting the old days, feeling very comfortable.

Xun Xu finally said, "The mutton is ready."

Both Xu Ning and Guo Shanshan got up to help, Zhou Shusen took a knife and cut the lamb into portions, Xu Ning and the three put the lamb on a plate, and said to everyone: "The roast lamb is ready, everyone can line up to get the lamb, one vote, one vote." portion." As early as when paying for the registration, Xu Ning gave everyone two tickets, one for dinner and one for barbecue. You can eat and eat meat with the tickets, so that no one will fish in troubled waters.

"There are sauces on the other side of the table. If you think the taste is bland, you can go there to add more."

A 20-jin sheep weighed only 100 catties after roasting. There were more than [-] people present, including Xu Ning's classmates, and each of them got three or four taels of roast meat.If it was three or four taels of pork, few people would be able to finish it, but roast lamb is different, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and delicious, so delicious that people even swallow their tongues, not only is there no meat left , Even the bones were gnawed clean.It was worth waiting for several hours at night. After eating, everyone still licked their mouths, and someone said: "Boss, your mutton tastes really good, can you still make it tomorrow? I will continue to pay [-] yuan, tomorrow Still come to eat."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "If the number of applicants exceeds fifty, then continue to barbecue."

Guo Shanshan said: "Brother, do we want to increase the price? This sheep is 50 catties, and our mutton sells for [-] yuan a catty. This cost is [-] yuan. Today there are six tables of meals, as well as fruits and drinks. The money, in fact, did not make any money, and we were all busy."

Xu Ning said: "Everyone who does business loses money at the beginning, which is called investment. What's more, we don't actually lose money. Even if we don't make money here, we can make money back in other aspects. They come here, and they won't get us. Buying things? And going to the village to stay overnight and eat, that’s all earned.”

Guo Shanshan nodded, thinking it made sense, she shouldn't be so short-sighted.

Xu Ning added: "In the future, I can still increase the price. I will tell everyone the truth. If you are willing to accept the price increase, come and eat, and if you don't want to, don't come."

After eating the mutton, everyone started to leave the venue. People left in twos and threes, staying in B&Bs, and returning home.On the way from Xu Ning's house to the village, street lights were also installed, which made it very convenient for night activities.A group of people walked at the end and asked Xu Ning: "Boss, do you have a place to live? I don't want to go back, so I can stay with you and we will pay for it."

"No car?" Xu Ning asked.

The other party said: "I have a car, but I drank some beer and don't plan to drive anymore. It's not safe."

Xu Ning said: "I only have bunks on the first floor of my house. If you don't mind, I'll make beds for you."

The other party said: "I have three families here, can you arrange them all?"

"My room is enough. It depends on how you want to allocate it. Do you want to live together as a family, or separate men and women?" Xu Ning asked.

They discussed it over there: "Let's separate the men and women, the children are grown up, it's not good to live with their parents."

"Okay, I'll make the bed." Xu Ning said.

Xun Xu was a little unhappy, and complained to Xu Ning in a low voice: "You agree to everything other people ask, and you don't know how to refuse people. You have been busy all day, and you still have to make their beds. Are you tired? They figured it out on their own."

Xu Ning smiled: "Forget it, at this time, whatever they can think of, they are all guests. Besides, it is indeed unsafe to drink and drive. Safety is the first priority. It doesn't matter if I work harder. If you are afraid that I will be tired, come here Help."

Although Xun Xu was full of complaints, he still went to help.The beds of Xu Ning's classmates have been prepared long ago, and they can just go and check in. They are all arranged in the guest rooms on the second floor, one for each family.

Xu Ning took out the quilts from the cabinet and made four beds on the first floor, which they distributed freely.Fortunately, I was not stingy when I bought the beds. They were all 1 meters wide, and it was enough to squeeze them together.As for why not make two more beds, because there are not enough quilts.

After everything was settled, it was already midnight, Xu Ning and Xun Xu went back upstairs.Xun Xu closed the door on the third floor and said: "It's really troublesome. In the future, please don't bring anyone home to live here. It's enough to entertain relatives and friends."

Xu Ning yawned: "Our family didn't intend to be a homestay at first. We just wanted to provide some income to the people in the village. I didn't expect people to take a fancy to our family. What can we do? Forget it, just treat it as us. It’s also a Fushan family, swallows love to come to build their nests, and guests also want to come to stay overnight, which shows that our family’s Feng Shui is good.”
