The fairy of space also farms

When Xu Ning and Xun Xu returned home, they found a familiar motorcycle parked in front of the house. After another look, the shrimp thief stood up with a sad face: "Boss, you just came back?"

Xun Xu looked at the motorcycle, the numbers were familiar, and when he thought about it, he realized what the name was. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped off, grabbed the man by the collar with one hand, and raised his fist with the other to greet him. The guy was stopped by Xu Ning: "Don't make trouble, he came to make an apology." Then he said to the man, "I've been waiting for a long time, sit down. Seek order, go cut a watermelon to quench your thirst."

Reluctantly, Xun Xu went to open the refrigerator, took out a chilled watermelon from inside, cut it open, took a piece angrily, and gnawed on it. A thief, who delivered it to the door and treated it with a pleasant face, I have never seen it before. Like Xu Ning.Xu Ningxin said, if you don't reach out to hit the smiling man, he is still keeping his promise, and he sent money as agreed, so you can't beat him back.

The man who stole the shrimp took out a red plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to Xu Ning: "Boss Xu, please check it out. I sold it for a total of 680 yuan, and it's all here."

There were still some odd ones, Xu Ning counted them in his hand, and then put them away: "Please bring it to us. Eat a piece of melon, I grew it at home." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of melon and put it in the other party's hand.

The shrimp thief didn't want to stay too long. He took the piece of melon and hurried away. When the motorcycle drove down the hillside, he slowed down and took a bite, then stopped. The melon tasted really good. He looked back at the hillside. It seems to be full of vegetables and fruits. If it hadn't been so bad, maybe I could buy two melons and go back to taste it, alas!

The news that Xu Ning wanted to open a store quickly spread.Xu Jingshan and his wife knew that their nephew was going to open a shop, and they asked their eldest son and his wife to help look after the shop. They were both happy and grateful.In fact, they also knew that letting the eldest son go to the second son's shop to do breakfast business made the second daughter-in-law unhappy. Zeng Ying wanted her younger brother to do it, but she didn't say anything because of the affection of her in-laws and husband.Now that Xu Ning has come forward to help solve this problem, everyone is really happy.

The new store needs a rough renovation, mainly customizing vegetable racks, containers, making signs, purchasing electronic scales, and cash registers. Things are not complicated. Hurry up, it will be done in three to five days, and a good day for opening is picked. The Changwei Organic Fresh Store finally opened.Juicy vegetables, bright red strawberries, and plump watermelons are all put on the shelves, and lively shrimps, loaches, and eels are all raised in large pots with an aerator.

Because she greeted Chen Xiaolu in advance, she attracted many relatives and friends to join her, and the business was very prosperous on the first day.Before the opening, Xu Jun and Wang Yumei also made a surprise attack on the basic skills of weighing and cash register. On the first day, they were still a little flustered and there were many mistakes. Fortunately, Xu Ning and Xun Xu were also present, so there were no major problems.

The new store opened, and the clerks were not skilled. Naturally, the two bosses, Xu Ning and Xun Xu, had to worry more. They also worked in the store for the first three days. It was not until Xu Jun and his wife became proficient in the operation that they went back.

The business was better than Xu Ning expected, with at least 80.00% of repeat customers, and the rest of the customers chose the vegetable market mainly because of the price.Xu Ning’s vegetables and fruits are a bit more expensive than those on the market, because the emphasis is on pollution-free organic vegetables, without pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

According to surveys, the smaller the city, the stronger the sense of well-being of people, and they pay more attention to life and health.In addition, there is Changweixuan as a foreshadowing, which has brought excellent advertising effect to Xu Ning's new store. As soon as Xu Ning's organic fresh food store opened, it immediately became popular in the whole Shaqiao Town just like Changweixuan at the beginning. , Have you eaten the dishes from Changwei Fresh Store yet?Then you are out of date and unable to keep up with the new trend of health and fashion.

Xu Ning recruited another vegetable picker from the village. The fresh food store was in great demand. Xie Jiansheng was a bit too busy alone, and Xu Ning also felt embarrassed to squeeze the old man.Students are not allowed to do this work because they are short-term workers after all, and they lack experience. When picking vegetables, they don't know what to pick and what not to pick, which will add to the chaos.

The corn in the field has been harvested. I heard that corn stalks are also good feed for bamboo rats and mountain rats, but they really can't be preserved, so they can only use as much as they can, and let them wither if the rest is left.After harvesting the corn, Xu Ning sent his students to cut soybeans.Corn and soybeans are easy to preserve. As long as they are dried, they can be stored in the warehouse for a long time.When these things were taken back, Xu Ning found that he had underestimated and the warehouse was not enough, so he had to move to his new house. Fortunately, the house was spacious enough, and the old sheepfold was now vacant, so he had to clean it up and decorate it. Used for storage.

As soon as the soybeans were dried, Xu Jingshan said, "Do you want to make some tofu every day and sell it in the store?"

Xu Ning thought so too, anyway, the shop has opened, and what it sells is either for sale, or no one makes tofu.Xu Jingshan took the initiative to take over the job of making tofu. Tofu is something that the old people in the country can do. Every Chinese New Year, everyone would make some tofu to eat by themselves, such as tofu balls, dried incense sticks, fried tofu puffs, etc.Xu Jingshan and his wife plan to make a pot of tofu every day and send it to the store. Because they have to go to the morning market, the tofu has to be made early in the morning so that it is fresh, so they have to get up at four or five in the morning to work. Xu Ning thinks this is a bit wrong My uncle and aunt are so busy for themselves, I really feel sorry for them.

Xu Ning was a little uneasy, but the old couple were very happy. They said that they didn't sleep much, and they woke up at five o'clock every morning. Making tofu was not too hard, and they were competent. Son, is also helping his son.After the tofu was made, the response was very good, and the store sold out very early.Knowing that Xu Tao started making tofu at home, he also took all the tofu in his shop from home, which made it even more difficult to sell.

Xu Jingshan said that since the tofu is not enough to sell, then make two pots.But in this way, why not get up at three o'clock?Xu Ning was afraid that his uncle and aunt would be tired, so he came up with an idea. In the morning, he made a pot to sell silken tofu and tofu flowers, and in the afternoon, he made a pot to make fragrant dried seeds, fried tofu puffs, and both dried and tofu puffs could be stored in the refrigerator , not as perishable as silken tofu.In order to preserve the dried fragrant and puffed tofu, Xu Ning also specially bought a freezer, and stored them in the freezer after they were cooked.In this way, it can be regarded as barely solving the problem.

After the students harvested the corn and soybeans, they went to dig peanuts and potatoes.At the beginning, Xu Ning was worried that these students would not be able to endure hardships, and would leave after working for two days at most. Surprisingly, most of these students persisted. When Xu Ning chatted with them about this, they joked, yes The rice at Xu Ning's family was delicious, and he stayed to work because he couldn't bear to part with the rice.

Xu Ning thinks these students are very cute, no matter what the reason is, it would be nice to stay.Although there are a few people who are a bit lazy and slippery, they generally can't make mistakes. They basically help collect the corn, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts at home.

When the students were busy, Xu Ning himself was of course not idle. He and some old people were busy digging purple sweet potatoes. Chen Fu knew that he had grown purple sweet potatoes here, so he asked for a batch of purple sweet potatoes.Xu Ning originally planned to grow sweet potatoes to feed the mice. When he went to buy seeds, he happened to see purple sweet potatoes for sale. Considering the market, he bought a batch of purple sweet potato seeds.Now the purple sweet potatoes are growing very luxuriantly. If you dig out one plant, you will get a bunch of them. There are at least a dozen of them, and they are not small.Not only purple sweet potatoes, but also the things Xu Ning's family grows have a very high yield and very good quality.

The price of purple sweet potatoes is similar to that of watermelons, but it is much more difficult to collect than watermelons, as they have to be dug out of the ground.But apart from this point, the purple sweet potato is easy to take care of. There is not much grass in the field. The main reason is to loosen the soil during the flowering season, and the yield is not bad. The yield per mu can reach nearly [-] catties.

Xu Ning was digging purple potatoes here, and Xunxu drove the flock of sheep to the grass to help carry them. Purple potatoes are much easier to carry than watermelons. Big baskets and big baskets are dumped directly, and they are not damaged by bumps. Even if it is a little bad, it doesn't matter much, it's no better than a watermelon, just tap it lightly, it will open, and you can only eat it by yourself.

The students over there were tired of digging potatoes, so they went to the vegetable field to help Lao Xie pick strawberries. Because the demand for all kinds of fruits and vegetables is now high, Lao Xie has also changed from a half-day job to a full-time job. Picking strawberries in the morning Strawberries, picking vegetables in the afternoon, of course, the wages have also risen accordingly.Xu Ning generally would not criticize this occasional change of working method. It is already very good for a teenage child to be willing to do farm work. When he was his age, he had never worked so hard.

A student was picking loofahs, and then shouted: "Old Xu, why are you planting so many gourds, why don't you give me one for fun?"

Xu Ning stood up: "Don't pick it randomly, that one is a few hundred yuan, and I will deduct it from your salary if you pick one."

"What the hell, is this broken gourd so expensive? You're trying to trick me, Old Xu." The student obviously didn't believe it.

"Try it if you don't believe me." Xu Ning was thirsty after digging sweet potatoes, and ran to the small watermelon field to pick watermelons to quench his thirst. Gourds were planted on the edge of the watermelon field. A big gourd, as if looking at a gold ingot, I couldn't help being happy in my heart.Gourds are originally the same as loofahs and cucumbers. They are actually used for cooking and eating. However, gourds are beautiful in shape and very hard when they are old, so people like to use them as utensils, water ladles or wine jugs.

Nowadays, the practical functions of gourds are much weaker, and they have become more of a decoration and toy. Gourd is a homonym for Fulu, which is very auspicious. Many people like to put a big gourd at home or in the office, implying wealth and wealth.When Xu Ning was still in graduate school, he and Gao Ya went out to play, and accidentally wandered into a handicraft store. The decoration of the store was antique, and Xu Ning was not impressed with what it sold in it, but the large ceiling hanging on the top Xu Ning was very impressed with the gourds. When asked about the price, ordinary gourds can be sold for 200 to [-] yuan each, and larger ones cost [-] to [-] yuan, and the longer the time, the more expensive they are.

When I went to the seed company to buy seeds at the end of last year, Xu Ning saw gourd seeds, so he bought some and planted them casually. Mostly for fun, the gourds came out, and he never thought of picking one. Come to eat, let it grow so long, and feel happy when you look at it.Gourds are rare here, everyone who comes here has to come and have a look, to see something new, Xiaofeng and Xiaojing brothers and sisters come to count the gourds almost every day.The gourd has not been bearing fruit for a long time now, and it is in the peak growing season, so it doesn't look big, but Xu Ning thinks that the gourd in his family has drank space water, and the head must be not as big as usual.

The last time Chen Fu saw these gourds when he was buying watermelons, he said that if the gourds produced in the future were big enough, he would take them all.Although selling gourds was far from his business of selling vegetables and fruits, Xu Ning did not suspect that Chen Fu's words were lies. Chen Fu's words were always reliable.So now he has to take good care of these gourds, let them grow into big gourds, not to mention a few hundred yuan each, and then sell them to Chen Fu for 100 yuan each, which is also very profitable, much better than frying them for cooking.

They dug a lot of purple potatoes and potatoes in the field this morning, and many of them were piled up in the field before they had time to move them back, and they would move them again in the afternoon.The sun is very hot in the afternoon in July, and people usually have to rest until after three o’clock before going to work. Everyone takes a nap after lunch. After working hard in the morning, the long nap at noon is particularly sweet.

Those who were afraid of the heat pulled off their mats and slept on the floor, while Xu Ning and Xun Xu each had a recliner and slept in the shade of the plane tree.Both Ah Xuan and Xiaobao curled up at their feet. Now that the weather is hot, Ah Xuan doesn't go back to sleep in his own den. The tree hole is stuffy and stuffy due to the lack of ventilation.

The little wolf and little tiger brothers and sisters were arranged to guard the sheep in the newly repaired sheepfold. The three or four-month-old German Shepherd is already very big, standing half a person tall, no matter whether it is facing people or facing each other. Sheep have a lot of deterrent power.Xu Ning and Xun Xu didn't let them run around. They don't know how to bite, but they might not scare people. Many people are still afraid of dogs.

The sheep herders haven't been found yet, so they have to go to the sheepfold to guard at night. Xu Ning originally wanted to take turns guarding with Xun Xu, but Xun Xun refused to let him go. There is no air conditioner there, only a fan. Xu Ning is afraid of heat, he would rather endure the loneliness and heat over there by himself.In fact, heat is nothing to Xun Xu, the most difficult thing is that there is no one in his arms at night, so he can't sleep well all the time.

Xu Ning was also anxious about this matter. In order to appease Xun Xu, he took the initiative to go to the sheepfold at night and stayed there for half the night, sometimes even all night. Few people will find the difference.Two people live together, the weather is hot, the firepower is strong, it is inevitable to do some passionate things.Xu Ning specially bought a big fan and put it here, but he still couldn't stop sweating. Every time he finished, it was like taking a bath with sweat.Biansheng Xunxu is still unwilling to let him go, the opportunity is rare, every time he has to have fun before giving up.

Xu Ning spent the night in the sheep pen last night. It finally cooled down in the middle of the night, and the two of them finally slept soundly. When the alarm clock rang at five o'clock in the morning, they were going to get up to deliver food. Xun Xu hugged Xu Ning Ning refused to let go, and came early in the morning. In order to finish it in a short time, he searched for the order very aggressively, so Xu Ning couldn't close his legs when he got out of bed, and he was swaying, delivering food. It is done by searching for the sequence.

So at the moment Xu Ning was catching up on sleep, soundly asleep, Xun Xu thought about the unfinished scene this morning, and couldn't help reacting, his loose beach shorts were a bit like a tent.Fortunately, everyone was sleeping at this point, and no one noticed his strangeness. It would be embarrassing if a little girl saw it.

Xun Xu was thinking about flirting with Xu Ning, when he suddenly heard the cries of little wolf and tiger, Xun Xu sat up abruptly.Xu Ning was also awakened by the sound. He has a keen sense of hearing now, even though he was asleep, he was awakened immediately: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, the little wolf and the little tiger are barking, I'll go over and have a look." Xun Xu heard that the barking was a little anxious, it was a warning of danger, and he ran back up the hill without even having time to put on his shoes.

Xu Ning stepped on the slippers in a hurry, bent down to pick up Xunxu's shoes, and hurried to catch up: "Put on your shoes." On the stubble of soybeans, it will even pierce the soles of the feet.But Xun Xu had never been so nervous before, there must be something big going on, and he was also very anxious.

The two cats were also alarmed, they hesitated for a moment, and followed the owner to catch up.

As soon as he got up the back hillside, Xu Ning was stunned. Many pigs were nibbling on the purple sweet potatoes they had left in the field. To be precise, they were wild boars.

A while ago, Zheng Feng and Chen Xiaolu came to his house to play, saw five wild boars raised by his family, and joked that they would come to them to hunt wild boars.Xu Ning said at the time, aren't wild boars a second-class national protected animal? Are they allowed to be hunted?There are people who secretly kill wild boars, but do public officials like Zheng Feng dare to kill them?Zheng Feng said that now because the ecological environment is recovering well, the number of wild boars has increased quite rapidly, and there have been several incidents of wild boars hurting people in many places here.The County Forestry Bureau also organized hunting activities.He mentioned several places, and Xu Ning knew that one of them was his uncle's place.

Xu Ning was very happy to hear that at the time. Xun Xu wanted to eat wild boar. If it was illegal to kill wild boar, it would be a bit unreasonable. Now that it can be killed, it is not illegal.I didn't expect to see such a large herd of wild boars on the mountain behind my home today. I was really nervous and excited.

Those wild boars glanced at Xun Xu and Xu Ning, but they didn't run away.Xun Xu didn't rush directly at the group of wild boars, but turned around and went to the sheep pen. The little wolf and tiger roared loudly at the group of wild boars at the door of the sheep pen. When they saw their master coming, they hurried up to greet them.Xu Ning didn't dare to confront the group of wild boars head-on, and threw a piece of dirt over them. The wild animals didn't respond at all, and he was very courageous, so he had no choice but to run to the sheepfold.

Xun Xu took out a sharp knife for killing sheep from the utility room, and curled up the corners of his mouth: "Recently, my mouth has been very dull, and I want to eat meat, but they came to me on their own initiative, so I will accept it unceremoniously."

Xu Ning looked at Xun Xu and threw the shoes to him: "Put on your shoes, don't pierce your feet. It's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'll help you." Looking around, he took a hoe in his hand, After thinking about it, he touched a stick again.

Xun Xu said: "Don't go, I can take care of it. Those things are very fierce, you don't know kung fu, don't get hurt."

Xu Ning thought for a while, then quickly called Xu Jingshan and asked him to call someone over. He didn't dare to call the old people and children who were resting at home. The wild boar is extremely fierce. If it hurts someone, he can't afford it that responsibility.

Xu Jingshan heard that a herd of wild boars had come to the back mountain, so he hurriedly said excitedly: "Don't worry, don't scare them away, I'll find someone to help." He hung up the phone, put on his shirt and went to find someone up.

Xun Xun has already left the door with a shining knife in hand. The group of wild boars are very fierce and cunning. When Xun Xun passed by this side, they ran to the other side, and the other side was the potatoes that the students dug out.Xu Ning took a hoe in his hand, thought for a while and took another stick, and slowly moved to the other end. The two German Shepherds followed his footsteps, they did not dare to follow the order, the German Shepherds Although Mu is an excellent working dog, it is not a hunting dog. Xun Xu and Xu Ning have not trained them how to pounce and bite. Facing such a group of wild boars with more than a dozen wild boars, they are still a little embarrassed.

Xun Xu chased them back and forth for two rounds, and those huge wild boars with rough skin and thick flesh moved so quickly that they didn't even touch the pig hair for a while.Xu Ning looked at those wild boars anxiously. He knew that Xun Xu didn't just want to drive these wild boars away. He regretted running away the female wild boar last time. This time it was delivered to his door. He definitely didn't want to miss it for nothing. .

At this time, the sound of motorcycles came from the village, and there were quite a few of them. It should be that many villagers came to hunt wild boars when they heard there were wild boars.Xun Xu thought, or he might as well use his spiritual power to lay down one end before those people arrived.Xu Ning stopped him: "Xun Xu, don't chase him away, people are coming from the village, when everyone comes, fight together, and hit two more." He was worried that if Xun Xu caught one of them, the wild boar would yelp and kill it. Everything else ran away in a fright, and all the fat in my mouth ran away again.

After thinking about it, Xun Xu stood still at the same spot, staring closely at the group of wild boars, choosing a target to strike in a while, and he set his sights on the largest boar, weighing at least four to five hundred catties.

After a while, all the big guys came. They were all men in their 60s and [-]s. There were more than a dozen people in total. Everyone was holding hoes, long sickles, sticks, and machetes. In this way, when they heard that there was hunting to hunt, everyone was very excited.

As soon as everyone saw such a large group of wild boars, they rushed to surround them and shouted: "Wrap them up, don't let them run away."

Xu Jingshan said: "Don't surround them too much. It would be good if you can kill one or two wild boars. If the herd of wild boars goes crazy, there is nothing we can do and we will be injured."

Xu Ning felt a little plausible when he heard his uncle say this.

When Xun Xu saw people gathering around him, he rushed towards the herd of wild boars. He was unbiased, and he spotted the leading boar. Xu Ning also found out his ambition and was terrified: "Xun Xu you Don't catch that wild boar, it's too fierce."

How could Xun Xu be willing to listen? He had already dispersed the herd of wild boars, spotted the boar, and chased it all over the mountain. Fortunately, the potato field was ready to be harvested, and it didn’t matter if it was stepped on. Some, if it is a watermelon field or a vegetable field, the loss of the stepping method will be great.

Seeing everyone coming, Xu Ning hurried up to help Xun Xu.In fact, the herd of wild boars started to retreat to the other side of the mountain forest when they noticed the villagers coming up. The other side was corngrass as tall as a person and alfalfa as tall as half a person. He refused to let the wild boars go easily, and selected one or two wild boars with weak legs as hunting targets, chasing and intercepting them to prevent them from entering the grass.

The boar selected by Xun Xu was a little scared of him at first, but seeing him holding a glaring sharp knife, he knew that if he was caught without a fight, it would be a dead end, so he embarked on the road of escape without hesitation.Soon the boar ran out of the potato field and got into the fruit forest. The grapes that Xu Ning had planted years ago, although they didn't bear many fruits, they grew luxuriantly, which is what wild boars are used to. living environment.

When Xu Ning saw it entered the grape field, he couldn't help crying in his heart. If it rolled over, how many grapes would die.Xu Jingshan was chasing wild boars with the group, but when he found his nephew and Xun Xu chasing a boar alone, he came over to help.The wild boar originally thought that he had the upper hand when he entered the bush, but he didn't expect that the bush had no thorns, so he couldn't stop Xun Xu's frantic footsteps wanting to eat meat. He quickly caught up with the boar's footsteps, swung the knife in his hand, and pierced the boar's neck. Even though the boar's skin was thicker and rougher than others, whoever Xun Xun was, the knife was accurate It stabbed into the back of the boar's neck, and blood flowed immediately.

The boar ate the pain and jumped around frantically.Xu Ning wailed: "It's over, it's over, my grapes."

Xun Xu said: "Stop yelling, and quickly hand me the stick." His knife was on the boar's neck, and now he was dealing with the wild boar with his bare hands, so he needed some tools in hand.Xu Ning hurried over and handed the stick in his hand to Xun Xu, while he held the handle of the hoe tightly with both hands, ready to help at any time.

The boar had a knife stuck in its neck, blood flowed all over the ground, but it didn't stop running.Xun Xu quickly chased after him, and Xu Jingshan also came from behind: "Did Xun Xu stab that pig?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yes, the knife got stuck on the pig." Of course he couldn't say that Xun Xun threw it over.

"This young man is too powerful." Xu Jingshan sighed.
