The fairy of space also farms

The trip to Beijing was very pleasant. Xun Xu felt a little regretful that there was no snow in Beijing. He hadn't seen snow for a long time. Xu Ning's house didn't snow every year.Xun Xu thought that Beijing would be so cold that it would snow, but he was unlucky and still didn't see it.

After Xun Xu's elixir was sold, he and Xu Ning prepared to go back.Before they left, Ji Xia and Luo Jianfei brought a husky puppy, a very cute puppy.Before leaving, Xu Ning put the puppy into his space, bid farewell to everyone, and made an appointment to come back to Beijing when the fourth Futu came back.

Back home, Xun Xu handed Xu Ning his bank card.Xu Ning said, "You take it yourself."

Xun Xu said: "You are a virtuous wife, so the financial power is entrusted to you, and I am in charge of making money."

Xu Ning rolled his eyes at him. Ge Ying and the others boasted that he was Xun Xun's virtuous helper. Of course he couldn't refute it, but this guy really took it seriously: "If you want to talk about a helper, it should be you. I'm in charge."

Xun Xu frowned and looked at the sky, isn't it like this, the head of the family is Xu Ning, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, in those high-end mansions, the head of the house is the male master, and the housekeepers are all their good housekeepers, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, no matter who is in charge, you will take care of the money anyway."

Xu Ning didn't know that he used Ah Q's spirit to comfort himself, so he took the bank card over. Xun Xu really didn't know how to manage money, but he was good at making money. Once this medicine was sold, he was a lot busier than working on his farm. A lot of income throughout the year.

The husky that Xu Ning brought back was handed over to Rhubarb. Rhubarb liked this black and white little guy very much. Like a responsible father, he played with this bastard all day long and never felt lonely again.

It's the season to eat mutton, Chen Fu and Xu Tao are urging, Xu Ning and Xun Xu start to kill sheep and sell meat.Liu Gang knew that Xu Ning's side had started selling sheep, so he also asked Xu Ning's side to send mutton.Xu Ning was worried that it would take too long to get the meat from here to the provincial capital, and the meat would deteriorate, so he could only pull the whole sheep there and slaughter them by themselves.Liu Gang felt that this was okay, so he asked the driver to bring a whole sheep home every day, and he hired a butcher to kill the sheep.

The mutton of Xu Ning's family sells very well in the provincial capital. Liu Gang's selling price is almost double the market price, but there are still an endless stream of people who come to buy the meat, which is not enough to sell.So it increased from one sheep to two, and on weekends, it increased to three.

Xu Ning's family has a total of 300 sheep. In addition to breeding sheep and lambs, there are more than [-] commercial sheep ready to be slaughtered. Even if they sell five sheep every day, they can still sell them for two months. It is really easy to sell.Kill the commercial sheep, so as to provide living space for the lambs that are about to be born, so customers can provide as much as they want.

This year people are finally able to eat Xu Ning's mutton with open stomachs. The villagers have made money this year, and they have become more generous in buying mutton. Every day when sheep are slaughtered, people will come to his house to buy mutton.

The migrant workers in the village came back one after another, and Xu Ning was going to find a successor for Zhou Shusen who would be responsible for looking after the sheep.He was going to write an advertisement to recruit workers, but before he posted it, Wan Jingui came to the door: "Ning Ning, do you want a sheep watcher for your family?"

Xu Ning said, "That's right, Uncle Jin, what do you do?"

Wan Jingui also planted two acres of strawberries this year. He helps out with Xu Ning in his spare time. His annual income is much better than that from growing taro and rice. He smiled and said, "My son will be back in two days. No, I don’t want him to go out to work, I want him to come back to grow strawberries. I heard from your uncle that you want to find someone to take over Asen to look after the sheep, so I just want him to come to your house to look after the sheep for you. What do you think? "

Xu Ning said: "If Wan Ming agrees, of course it can. It's also [-] a month, living in the sheep pen, doing well, and getting a monthly bonus every year, eating at my house."

For those who work in factories, this kind of treatment is already very good, including food and lodging, [-] a month, double salary at the end of the year, and red envelopes or gifts during the holidays, which is not bad, especially At the door of our own house, the elderly and children can be taken care of.Xu Ning also knew that if he posted the recruitment notice, many people would definitely apply for it.

Wan Jingui nodded again and again: "Hey, okay, I'll talk to my son."

Xu Ning said, "If Wan Ming is sure, send me a confirmation letter."

That night, Wan Jingui came to give an answer, saying that Wan Ming agreed and would come back to work when he came back.Xu Ning said: "Okay, you can come to work anytime you want, just follow along to familiarize yourself with the process."

Even if the matter of recruiting the shepherd is settled, the reason for finding someone so smoothly is mainly due to the prosperous development of Xu Ning's farm in the past two years.

Xu Ning found that some people in the village were building strawberry greenhouses again, and some people started to prepare paddy fields to raise fish in the rice fields, and some people started to weave bamboo fences in the slack season to raise ducks in the rice fields.These were all done by people who came back from outside. Everyone was gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

Xu Ning also suggested to everyone that those who are interested can grow edible lilies together. Although the cycle is a bit longer, the returns are very high, and they can pay back their capital and make money in two or three years.Those who dare to take risks are also willing to grow lilies. Planting lilies does not require much water and can be planted in relatively dry places. Therefore, some dry fields in the village that have been abandoned for many years due to difficulties in water diversion have been used to grow lilies.

Xu Xiaofeng was on winter vacation, playing wildly with his friends in the village every day. He came to ask this day: "Uncle, when will you dig the water chestnuts you planted?"

When Xu Xiaofeng reminded him, Xu Ning remembered that he had planted half an acre of water chestnuts, and it was indeed possible to dig them this season. "It's fine now, do you want to eat water chestnuts?"

"Yes, I have seen that the water chestnuts in the third master's house have been dug, and many guests have come to his house to dig water chestnuts for fun." Xu Xiaofeng played in the village every day, and he was quite well informed.

"You reminded me that it's time to dig the water chestnuts in my house. Let's go, dig the water chestnuts." Xu Ning put on his rubber shoes, carried a bucket and a hoe, and prepared to dig the water chestnuts.

Xun Xu came back after herding sheep from the back mountain, and asked, "Why are you going?"

Xu Ning said, "Go dig the water chestnuts, you can come too."

"Wait for me to change my shoes." Xun Xu hurried to the house to change his rubber shoes.

Water chestnuts are planted in summer and harvested in winter. This thing grows in water. When the leaves turn yellow in autumn and winter, you can drain all the water and wait for the water to evaporate slowly. This is easy to dig. If it is full of water, you can’t dig it. To dig with a hoe, you can only dig with your hands or step on it with your feet, which is more time-consuming and laborious.

The water chestnuts in Xu Ning's half acre of land are also interplanted. There are a lot of loaches and eels in the field, so when digging water chestnuts, they also catch loaches and eels.

Water chestnuts grow in the mud, which has similar properties to lotus root, but it is easier than digging lotus root. It usually grows at a depth of [-] to [-] centimeters under the mud. Good water chestnuts usually grow on one level, and the mud on the surface After being dug up, you can see a board of water chestnuts densely arranged on the mud layer, just pick them out one by one.

The water chestnuts in Xu Ning's family were planted relatively early, and they are all raised in space water. They are red and big, and their size can rival an orange.Xu Ning dug up a hoe, and Xu Xiaofeng cheered from the side: "Wow, it's so big!"

Xu Ning put away the hoe and bent down to pick one up. The water chestnut is purple in color and the bud tip is short and flat. This kind of water chestnut is refreshing, crisp and sweet, with less starch, sufficient water and delicate taste.The two uncles and nephews quickly picked up a few, and ran to the side stream to wash the water chestnuts. They didn't dislike the water flowing from the valley where shrimps and crabs were raised. After washing it, they put it directly in their mouths. Kacha, peel off the outer skin with your teeth, revealing the snow-white flesh, biting it down, it is more enjoyable than eating pears, there is no scum after chewing.

Xu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes with a smile, the water chestnuts are too big, he couldn't finish one bite: "Uncle, it's so sweet!"

Xu Ning nodded: "It's really good, no wonder it's called the underground Sydney, it tastes better than pears."

Xun Xu followed from behind and saw that the two big and small foodies had already eaten, so he said, "Come and have a taste."

Xu Ning handed him the one in his hand: "It's delicious."

Xun Xu looked at the water chestnut: "It's so big!" He also quickly peeled off the skin, "It's so delicious. How much do we sell for a catty?"

Xu Ning said, "Go and see the market price tomorrow."

The two dug water chestnuts together with Xu Xiaofeng. The water chestnuts were almost the same size, and it was very fulfilling to pick them up. After digging a few hoes, they picked up a bucket, and even dug up a catty or two of loach.

Xu Ning said: "The bucket is full, so I don't need to dig anymore. Let the guests do the digging, and I dig it myself to weigh it. It's a farmhouse experience." For water chestnuts in half an acre of land, it takes a few minutes to dig a hoe to pick them up. How much time does it take? ah.

Xun Xu was digging and was reluctant to leave: "It's very interesting to dig, let's dig for a while."

It was the first time Xu Ning saw Xun Xu working so hard that he didn't want to leave, so he said, "Then I'll go get a bucket, and take this back first."

Xu Ning came up with a bucket of water chestnuts. When he walked to the road, he met a few tourists: "Wow, boss Xu, your water chestnuts? Give us a taste."

Xu Ning was not stingy either: "Okay, let's have a taste."

Several people picked two of them and ran to the stream to wash them.Xu Ning went back with the water chestnuts, and just arrived home when the group of tourists caught up: "Boss Xu, how much is your water chestnuts per catty, let's buy some."

Xu Ning smiled: "Is it delicious?"

"not bad."

Xu Ning said: "What's not bad, I bet you have never eaten such a good water chestnut in your life, it is sweet, tender and refreshing, and you want to eat it after eating it. I haven't set a price yet, and I don't know how much it will cost per catty."

Several tourists exchanged glances: "Boss Xu, your big water chestnuts cost three or four yuan a catty in our county, so let's sell them to us for four yuan a catty."

Xu Ning didn't answer them, went to wash his hands, then called Chen Fu and asked him the market price of water chestnuts.Chen Fu said, "Have you started digging your water chestnuts?"

"That's right, I dug a little bit today. They are so big that they weigh one or two. What's the market price?" Xu Ning said.

Chen Fu said, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, better than Sydney." Xu Ning grinned.

Chen Fu said, "Don't sell it to them, bring it all to me, and I'll give you six yuan a catty."

Xu Ning smiled: "Ordinary ones in the market can be sold for four or five yuan. If I sell this water chestnut for seven or eight yuan, someone will definitely buy it. Believe it or not."

Chen Fu gritted his teeth: "Then seven yuan."

Xu Ning said, "Okay, I'll bring you a few catties tomorrow."

"How many catties?" Chen Fu quit, "A few catties are not enough to fit between the teeth."

Xu Ning said slowly, "I'll let you taste it first, and then I'll tell you if it's delicious. It's in the ground, and you haven't dug it out, so you don't have as much as you want."

"Okay, I'll try it first when I bring some over tomorrow." Chen Fu said.

Xu Ning hung up the phone and said to the group of tourists, "There's nothing to sell here, so I can dig it myself. It costs eight yuan a catty, how about it?"

The price doubled all of a sudden, and everyone shouted: "Boss Xu, you are so stupid!"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's not black. Water chestnuts are good. They can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and dampness, and can also help digestion. My home's stuff is even better, and it can prevent cancer."

"Just brag, everything in your house is cancer-proof." The tourist obviously didn't believe him.

Xu Ning laughed happily: "It's true, if you don't believe it, forget it." This is the truth. After eating his food, her body will recover. It is more effective than taking medicine, but he doesn't bother to publicize it.

Eight yuan per catty is really expensive. Tourists are a little bit ruthless. Xu Ning said: "In two days, the Yikang organic chain store in your county will wrap up my water chestnuts. When you want to eat them, you can only go to You bought expensive ones over there." Chen Fu bought seven yuan a catty with him, and at least sold it for ten yuan a catty.

After he said this, the tourists made up their minds: "Okay, I'll buy a few catties. Do you want to dig it yourself?"

Xu Ning smiled: "Yes, let's experience the fun of the farmhouse. Come, change your rubber shoes, here are them. There are also hoes here."

When Xu Ning was arranging them, he peeled a few more bamboo slices to pry the water chestnuts.Xun Xu led Xu Xiaofeng to bury his head and was busy in the field. When he looked up, he saw Xu Ning coming with several people, and asked Xu Ning, "What's the matter?"

Xu Ning smiled and said: "These guests are here to experience life." Turning to the tourists, he said, "My water chestnuts are easy to dig, they all grow on the same plane, you just need to dig down like this, pull the top You don’t need to dig too deep, or the water chestnuts will rot if you dig too deep.” Xu Ning showed them a demonstration without bending his waist, looking very relaxed.

The tourist tried it, pushed the hoe down, pulled it back, and did not move at all: "Boss, you just opened it easily, why can't I?"

Xu Ning said, "Use a little force."

The tourist used his strength this time, pulled back, and almost staggered and fell backwards. Xun Xu, who was next to him, reached out to support him, and said flatly, "Slow down."

The other party smiled: "I have used a lot of strength, thank you."

Everything is difficult at the beginning. I really don’t know how to dig at the beginning, but after digging too much, everyone has a sense of accomplishment. When the hoe goes down, the mud is turned over, and there are more than a dozen big water chestnuts neatly placed underneath. Just like it.So everyone followed Xu Ning and Xun Xu to dig and dig, and finally dug a big basket.

I was dumbfounded when I weighed it, because I dug too much.After buying it, I think it is too expensive, so I don’t want to finish buying it, because I dug it myself, I am reluctant.

Xu Ning laughed: "You can buy as much as you want, you don't have to buy it all."

In the end, everyone weighed it for a long time, bought half, and left half, that is to say, they were working for Xu Ning and Xun Xu for nothing.There's no way, the water chestnuts from Xu Ning's family are so attractive that they don't want to stop digging them up.

The water chestnuts in Xu Ning's family are big and sweet, and soon everyone will know, and the people who come to dig the water chestnuts will continue to follow.Xu Ning and Xun Xu earned a lot of labor in vain. Generally speaking, what they buy is always less than what they dig. If they dig more, they will be dug for free.Xu Ning cheated and earned a lot of free labor for nothing.

After Wan Ming came back, he really came to Xu Ning's house to learn how to look after sheep. At night, he went back to live in his own house, and came back to watch the night after a year.

Zhou Shusen began to learn from Xu Ning to manage the affairs, mainly to understand the market, growing season and cycle of various crops, how to arrange sowing and harvesting, distribute labor, etc. As for the sales, Xu Ning and Xun Xu are in charge for the time being. After all, they can't Do nothing.Everyone is trying to adjust to their new identities.

The end of the year is coming soon, and a few days before the Chinese New Year, the weather suddenly cooled down, and a heavy snowfall fell unexpectedly. The goose feather snow fell all night, and the ground was covered with more than ten centimeters of snow, and it continued to fall during the day all day.

For southerners, snow is a very happy thing, because it is rare, it becomes precious.When it snows, you can relax for a while. Of course, it is only relative. Vegetables still have to be harvested and sold, and fish and shrimps are still harvested and sold, but because of the snow, the price can be much higher.

It will be late and the snow will still be heavy.Xun Xu and Xu Ning ate separately from Zhou Shusen and the others for the first time. The two of them prepared a lot of dishes, heated up the copper fire boiler, and sat in the living room on the third floor, sipping wine and eating hot pot. The wind outside The snow is falling, and the red charcoal fire is burning in the room, and the white air is steaming, and it feels very warm just looking at it.

Holding the wine glass, Xun Xu said with a smile: "This day has always been my longing, and finally one day I can get my wish."

Xu Ning raised his wine glass and clinked with him: "If you like this, I will often eat with you in the future."

Xun Xu smiled: "Okay!" He took a sip of the wine, then picked up a chopstick of mutton, rolled it in the boiling soup, and put it in Xu Ning's bowl.

Xu Ning put down his wine glass, ate the lamb that Xun Xu had scalded for him, glanced at the heavy snow falling under the gray sky outside the window, and asked, "Is it snowing in your heaven?"

Xun Xu said: "No, it's like spring all the year round. Only when the Emperor of Heaven thinks it's time for a snow to change his mood, he will make a snow."

"Artificial snowfall?" Xu Ning widened his eyes.

Xun Xu smiled and said, "You can also say that."

"It's really extravagant. I only know artificial rainfall, but I don't know that artificial snowfall can also be done." Xu Ning thinks that the Emperor of Heaven is really a genius.

Xun Xu looked at Xu Ning: "Actually, you can do it too. What you practice is water-based kung fu. As long as the kung fu is reached, you can control water freely. Rain, snow, and hail all depend on your mood."

Xu Ning looked at Xun Xu in surprise: "Can I be that powerful?"

Xun Xu looked at him dotingly: "It is possible. You didn't notice that your skills have progressed rapidly in recent days. It will soon be the alchemy stage."

Xu Ning himself hadn't noticed yet.Xun Xu continued: "Building a foundation is an entry point. This door is generally more difficult to enter, and once you get in, it will be quick."

Xu Ning looked at his hands and thought, is he not a mortal anymore? "Then when can I ascend?"

Xun Xu smiled and said: "It's still too early to ascend. However, your appearance will not change much in the future. Unless you have not made any progress, you will grow old slowly over time, but it is also much slower than ordinary people. Don't worry, you will live a long, long life, as long as I do."

When Xu Ning heard him raise this question, he said, "Are we going to leave here in the future? Will people be suspicious of not getting old for a long time?"

Xun Xu looked at him: "Have you thought about this problem too? I'm afraid you and I will be wronged to leave our hometown and live elsewhere."

Xu Ning put his hand on the back of his hand, curled up his mouth and smiled and said, "What a grievance, as long as I'm with you."

Xun Xu grabbed his hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will always be with you. I will be with you wherever you go."

"Yeah." Xu Ning felt the warmth of Xun Xu's palm, and met his eyes. The two of them were connected with each other, looked at each other and smiled, and the warmth in their hearts suddenly surged.

It's icy and snowy outside, and the cold wind is biting, but it can't dispel the warmth and warmth in the room.No matter how the world changes, the wind and rain are precarious, the place with you is heaven.
