The fairy of space also farms

When Xu Ning was eating the glutinous rice balls with sweet wine at home, he had a whim, and with the mentality of trying it out, he sent some glutinous rice distiller's grains to sell in the store.Two days later, Xu Jun said to Xu Ning: "Is there any glutinous rice distiller's grains? Many people have asked."

Xu Ning was a little surprised: "Is it sold out? Tell them, it will be available in two days." Everyone here can make glutinous rice wine, so he thought that not many people would buy it.In fact, people nowadays find it bothersome. If you make too much glutinous rice wine, you can’t finish it. If you leave it for a long time, it will taste bad, so you simply don’t make it. Occasionally, if you want to eat it, you can buy some outside. Of course, the taste of buying it will always be bad. order something.This time, someone tried some glutinous rice wine in Xu Ning's store and found that the long-lost taste was finally found, so word of mouth spread it, and it was sold out soon.The main reason for this is the glutinous rice. Xu Ning's paddy field is filled with space water, and it is pure natural organic rice, which naturally tastes very good.

So Xu Ning began to sell glutinous rice wine at home, and the price was twice as expensive as that on the market, because his glutinous rice was so good.Everyone knows that Xu Ning's food is all organic, and there is no objection. Anyway, he only eats so much, and it's not a meal, so he can still afford to eat occasionally.

Chen Fu somehow knew about Xu Ning's glutinous rice, so he called him: "You have a lot of glutinous rice?"

Xu Ning said: "It's not much, I just planted half an mu of land." It also harvested about a thousand catties of glutinous rice.

"You probably can't eat that much glutinous rice, give me half of it." Chen Fu said.

Xu Ning asked, "What do you want glutinous rice for?"

"Anyway, it's useful. I need it to make snacks in my health center. I have to go elsewhere to buy organic glutinous rice every year. You have it, why should I look far away?"

Xu Ning thought, yes, besides making distiller's grains, there are many other ways to eat glutinous rice. I don't know how to use the good things, so I quickly go to Baidu to check various ways to eat glutinous rice, and learn to satisfy the foodie at home. Desires, he must be screaming with joy. "Okay, I can give you half of it, how much is a catty?"

Chen Fu said, "Fifteen."

Xu Ning laughed: "The last time you bought my rice, it cost [-] pounds. Why are you so stingy this time? Are you short of funds?"

"You are in short supply, I'm talking about Nuogu."

Xu Ning did a quick calculation. It would be about 20 yuan a catty if it was converted into the price of rice. But if he made dim sum and sold it in a health care center, the value would more than double, so he said, "25."

Chen Fu's eyebrows twitched suddenly: "You are darker, Xu Ning."

"I'm talking about glutinous rice."

Chen Fu gritted his teeth: "Deal."

Xu Ning laughed: "Then you come and pull it, or should I send it to you?"

Chen Fu said: "Forget it, I'll come and pull it. Let's convert it to the price of glutinous rice. I grind as much as I want, so as not to spoil it."

"Row."

When Chen Fu came to La Nuogu, Xun Xu looked at Xu Ning: "Didn't you say you won't sell it, why did you sell it again?"

"This is Nuogu. We can't eat that much. We will sell half of it to him, and we will keep the rest for ourselves. Ask Asen to make us snacks." Xu Ning said, carrying down a bag of Nuogu, and Xun Xun hurriedly He stretched out his arm to pick it up, then bent down and grabbed a bag and carried it out between his waist.Seeing his movements, Xu Ning couldn't help but think of Zhu Bajie who worked in Gaolaozhuang. They were equally edible and capable, but his sheep were much more handsome than Zhu Bajie, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

Before Chen Fulin left, he went up to the back mountain and turned around again. When he saw the gourd racks were full of gourds, he said, "Is your gourd ripe? Down to deal with it."

Xu Ning said: "I saw that many people on the Internet introduced the experience of processing gourds, saying that they need to be boiled. How to deal with it?"

"No need to cook." Chen Fu held a bluish-white gourd with his hand, pinched the surface of the gourd with his hand, there was no trace, and pinched it off, "If you can't pinch it in, the gourd is ripe and can be picked It came down. You use something to scrape off this layer of skin on the surface, use bamboo chips or hard plastic cards to scrape off the surface layer of skin, then wash it with clean water, tie it up with a rope, and hang it in the shade Just wait for it to dry naturally in a ventilated place. Don’t scrape it with something too sharp, otherwise it will easily damage the surface of the gourd.”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. When picking gourds, it's best to keep the vines of the gourds. People who play gourds pay attention to the fact that the navel of the gourds is round and the dragon head is intact. The so-called dragon head is the stalk of the gourd. It is best to have this Both ends of the vine are kept." Chen Fu demonstrated.

Xu Ning looked at the full rack of gourds, thinking that the amount of work was not small: "When will it be finished?"

"It won't be ready until next summer at least. Then I'll come to your house to buy, how about 50 yuan each?" Chen Fu said.

Xu Ning thought to himself, it turns out that the money for gourds is not easy to earn, and it takes so long, but since they have been planted, let's try it. "50 yuan a piece, isn't it too cheap? My gourd is so big, and it looks very beautiful." A big gourd like his's would cost at least one or two hundred for retail sales.

Chen Fu laughed: "Go ahead and deal with it. We'll discuss the price later. Anyway, you won't lose."

After Chen Fu left, Xu Ning and Xun Xu went to pick gourds.The gourds in his house drank space water and grew very well, covering the melon stand. A gourd plant has at least one or two hundred gourds. Although only dozens of gourds were planted, the number of gourds is estimated to be tens of thousands. One gourd Even if it's 50 yuan, that's hundreds of thousands. It's really unintentional to plant a treasure and earn a lot of money.

Xu Ning obviously went to patronize Le. He never thought about how much work it would take to peel tens of thousands of gourds, and how much space it would take to hang them.It wasn't until he started to deal with the gourds that he realized that the money was not easy to earn.

There has been no news from the lawyer, so Xu Ning is waiting at home. There is not much farm work now, and the main thing is to scrape gourd skins at home.It was quite fresh at the beginning of scraping, but it was a bit boring after scraping and scraping. I repeated the same action all day long, holding a gourd between my legs, and scraping the gourd skin with a bamboo blade, although it looked smooth after scraping. Gourd also has a sense of accomplishment, but the more the sense of accomplishment, the weaker the feeling.

Xu Jingshan and his wife ran over to help scrape the gourd when they had nothing to do, and Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Xiaojing also came to scrape the gourd.Xu Ning first gave them some poor-looking gourds to try, and then asked them to scrape the gourds after they had finished scraping them. The two children actually learned well, and they were very interested.Xiaojing hasn't gone to preschool yet, so she spends all day scratching gourds at Xu Ning's place. In order to motivate the children, Xu Ning gives one yuan for each gourd they scrape. Xue also came to earn pocket money, and even called many children from the village to come and earn together.

Xu Ning can do it at first glance, anyway, this job is fun and not tiring, if the children are willing, then give them a chance to earn pocket money.The big gourd will give you [-] yuan, the small gourd will give you [-] cents, and there will be bonuses for those who work fast and well. For those who are scratched, sorry, no money!So the children worked very meticulously and conscientiously. Less than half of the gourds at home were scraped by those little guys.

Xu Ning is looking for a place to hang gourds every day. The second and third floors have been decorated. The third floor is for people to live in, so they can’t hang it. After the second floor, people may live in it, but it’s not good. There are some places to hang in the stairwell, but it’s limited. They had to hang them in warehouses and mouse houses. For a while, there were gourds hanging everywhere in Xu Ning's house.Everyone who came to Xu Ning's house would praise it, it's really beautiful!Xu Ning was also happy, it was all money.

One morning, when Xu Ning came back from delivering the food, he heard Little Leopard "meowing" in the room. The sound was a bit different from usual.Xu Ning hurriedly followed the sound and saw Xiaobao in the room opposite their bedroom. When he went in, he found several black spots the size of coins on the ground, some of which were still moving slowly. He fiddled with one of them with his paw, while Ah Xuan squatted aside and watched with an old god.

Xu Ning squatted down and took a look, ho!It turned out that the little turtle was born, I don't know when it came out, count it, there are five.Looking at the box containing the turtle eggs, there were indeed a few broken eggshells inside, and a few more eggs had cracked, and the little turtle was trying to break out of its shell.Xu Ning quickly picked up all the little turtles on the ground and put them in a box. What do the little turtles eat?How to raise it?Put it in the back mountain pool?Will the old turtle eat the young turtle, its own child, probably not.But if it is hungry, it will inevitably not eat the little turtle as food.what to do?By the way, that old turtle can be caught and eaten now.

When Xun Xu returned from watering the back mountain, Xu Ning excitedly called him to see the newborn turtle.Little Leopard meowed in embarrassment, saying that he had discovered it.

Xun Xu saw a few black little guys: "How to raise them?"

Xu Ning said: "I'm going to catch the old turtles in the pond behind and eat them, and then put the young ones in the pond."

Xun Xu cheered up: "Okay, I'll catch the old turtle."

"We'll go after breakfast." Xu Ning found a basin, put a few newborn turtles in it, put some space water in it, and then put some minced meat in it, the little turtles were in the space water It was a joy to climb.In the future, I will put them in the pond, and then catch some small fish and shrimps to raise them, so that they will fend for themselves, and I don't bother to care about them.

That night, Xun Xu finally got his wish and ate the steamed old turtle. The skirt of the old turtle tastes the best, sticky and soft, it melts in the mouth, but it is a bit sticky to the mouth.After eating, Xun Xu was full of vigor and vitality all night, changing patterns, tossing Xu Ning until his back hurts.When Xu Ning thought of those little turtles growing up in the future, he couldn't help but have a headache and toss. Fortunately, it was a long time ago.

On a rainy autumn morning, Xu Ning received a call from his lawyer, saying that the evidence had been collected, a lawsuit had been filed, and the trial date was half a month away.Xu Ning was also very happy when he received the call. He felt that the big rock hanging in his heart was finally going to be let go, so he said that he would go to Beijing to attend the trial.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ning looked at the raindrops falling from the sky: "When will it be sunny?"

Xun Xu lay on the recliner, opened one and looked at him: "Why is the weather sunny?" On rainy days, you don't have to go out to work, it's rare to be free, you can rest at home.

Xu Ning said: "It's time to harvest the late rice when the weather is fine. After the late rice is harvested, let's go to Beijing. Can you go?"

Xun Xu lifted his leg and placed it on Xu Ning's: "Why don't we come to double cultivation now and hurry up to practice?" On a rainy day, no one at home came to work, and Zhou Shusen also stayed in his room to write about him. In the novel, only the two of them are there.

"Don't make trouble, it's in broad daylight. What if someone comes later?" Xu Ning pushed Xun Xu's leg down.

"I'll know when someone comes." Xun Xu said.

"You know there is a use for it." At that time, the two of them were not wearing pants on the bed, and he could figure out whether the person who came would go out to see him or not.

Xun Xu rubbed his chin and said with a chuckle: "Since you can't practice during the day, you can only increase the amount of practice at night."

Xu Ning turned to stare at him.

"Otherwise I won't be able to cultivate enough to go home, and I won't be able to go as far as Beijing, what should I do?" Xun Xu said leisurely.

Xu Ning suddenly thought of a question: "What will happen to you if you can't cultivate and support that far away?"

Xun Xu raised his eyebrows: "If the skill is not strong enough to support it, the primordial spirit may dissipate."

"Ah?! That's too dangerous, you'd better not go, I can't take the risk." Xu Ning said quickly.

Xun Xu said: "It shouldn't be much worse. As long as we pay close attention to cultivation these days, there will be no serious problems. Besides, we can still practice every day when we go to Beijing."

Xu Ning looked at Xun Xu, and finally shook his head: "No, this is still a risk. I'm not 100% sure. I can't take you on an adventure. Besides, Beijing is optional."

Xun Xu felt as if he was shooting himself in the foot with a rock. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's not as scary as the disappearance of the primordial spirit. It's possible to fall into a coma due to lack of energy."

Xu Ning turned to look at Xun Xu angrily: "Are you kidding me?"

Xun Xu chuckled: "Anyway, we should hurry up and practice more, there are only benefits and no harm."

"Slut!" Xu Ning spat at him.

Xun Xu finally straightened his face and said: "This time you won't let me go, I will go too. Not only to teach those guys for you, but also to see if I can find those guys. Are you here? I have to get you a set of exercises, otherwise it would be a waste of time, so I have to do it as soon as possible."

"What is wasting time?"

Xun Xu said: "Cultivation depends on chance, but more on diligence and hard work. Some people get into the door after one or two years of practice, while others take many years. Only after getting into the door of cultivation will they not age so quickly. "

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will grow old?"

Xun Xu turned his head away: "I'm afraid you will die."

Xu Ning said as a matter of course: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is very normal."

Xun Xu said, "If you die, what about me?"

Xu Ning looked at Xun Xu, and he was also staring at himself. There was an emotion overflowing in his eyes, including sadness, blame and helplessness, and this emotion gradually infected Xu Ning.Xu Ning suddenly thought, yes, if he died, would Xun Xu be left alone?He had vaguely thought about this problem. Xun Xu's life was almost as long as the world, and he was just a passer-by in his long life. When he was gone, he would return to his original life. Maybe after a few years, he You will find the next double cultivation partner, just forget about yourself.But this is just my own wishful thinking. Can some things be forgotten as soon as they can be said?Suppose Xun Xu suddenly left him at this time, after a few years, he would be forgotten by him?

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Xun Xu's hand: "Okay, you can find the exercises for me as soon as possible, I just practice." He couldn't let go of this man's hand, let him breathe the air of this world alone, he wanted to stay with him.

Xun Xun turned his hand around and held his hand tightly in his palm: "I will definitely find it."

After a few days, the weather began to clear up.The weather in autumn is like this. It rains, pattering, and lasts for many days, but once it clears up, it will last for a long time. The typical feature of autumn weather is stability, whether it is raining or sunny.

The autumn sun is shining brightly, the sky is as blue as washing, high and open, and occasionally wild geese fly by in formation above the head, breaking the tranquility of the sky.The golden wind and autumn dew are like two magical painters, manipulating the palette, waving the brush, rendering the earth layer by layer, painting from the sky to the hills, and splashing from the hills to the fields, creating a huge colorful painting .

The autumn wind set off golden waves of rice in the fields, sending bursts of breath of green grass and wild flowers.The farmers rolled up their trousers and began to harvest the sweat of the summer.Xu Ning invited a few people to help harvest the rice. The rice in his family is different from that of others. Generally, when people harvest late rice, the water in the rice fields is drained, and the fields have long been chapped into tortoises. It is difficult to wear shoes. It can be stepped on, and it is very convenient to harvest.However, Xu Ning's paddy field did not release water, because the field has always been raising fish, and it is still a paddy field. It is not easy to harvest, and you have to go into the water with bare feet.

Chen Fu had been keeping an eye on Xu Ning's rice for a long time. When he heard that Xu Ning was going to harvest rice, he ran over in person, took off his shoes and socks and went to the field to help, keeping an eye on the whole process. "Xu Ning, you have to give me half of it no matter what this time. I didn't sell it, I ate it myself."

"Can you eat that much by yourself?" Xu Ning didn't believe it.

Chen Fu said: "Why can't I eat? My family has a lot of people. My parents, my parents-in-law, and those leaders all want to give some."

"You still can't buy good rice?" Xu Ning didn't believe it.

Chen Fu said: "Organic rice is everywhere, but the key is that it doesn't taste as good as yours. The last time I brought back those rice, my son felt that the taste was different. After eating, he kept talking to me. Said, Dad, there is no food at home. Hey! That kid has a naughty mouth since he was a child, so he knows how to eat well."

"Who taught that?" Xu Ning laughed, "You are such a glutton, so you were born a little glutton. Why didn't you bring him out to play?" Xu Ning likes children very much, but unfortunately he doesn't have one.

Chen Fu shook his head: "I don't like to take him with me. That kid is very clingy to me, and I follow him every time he comes out, but he is so naughty, I can't stand it, he is still alone and free, don't worry about it."

Xu Ning despised him: "You run outside every day and keep the child at home, why are you such a father?"

"If you don't mind the trouble, I'll bring it here another day, and you can watch it for a long time. If you can watch it, I'll give you a salary of 200 yuan." Chen Fu laughed.

Xu Ning obviously didn't believe it: "You are too exaggerated!"

Chen Fu shook his head: "Exaggeration or not, you'll know it when you see it."

This time it was harvested by several adults, and the work was more efficient. The rice was collected in two days. The autumn sun was not as violent as in summer, and the rice was put into the warehouse after three days in the sun.The yield of late rice has always been higher than that of early rice, and the taste is better than early rice. This time, no glutinous rice was planted, and a total of 12 catties of rice were harvested from the four acres of late rice.Chen Fu insisted on asking for half, and Xu Ning finally gave him three thousand catties, at the price of 20 yuan per catty of rice. The guy didn't even bat an eye.After all, it was the friendly price that Xu Ning gave him. If this Mira was sold in a store, someone would buy it for [-] yuan a catty.

After harvesting the rice, the food was returned to the warehouse, and the time for the court session was approaching.Xu Ning entrusted all the family affairs to Zhou Shusen, and he was also responsible for delivering the food. He asked Xu Jun to assist him. Shrimp are easy to catch, but loach and eel are hard to catch. It is estimated that this one will be out of stock.After arranging everything, he and Xun Xu set foot on the train going north.Now that there is a high-speed rail, getting to Beijing is a matter of minutes. Depart in the morning and arrive in the afternoon. It is more convenient than taking a plane. The plane has to go to a city with an airport.If you use the high-speed rail, you only need to go to the county seat.

Seven or eight hours of driving, and it is also during the day, and you can see the scenery of most of China along the way.Xu Ning said: "Now the high-speed rail is really convenient. You can see both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. When I was in school, I could only see one at most, and sometimes I couldn't see one. It's a pity. Now I can finally make up for this regret." .”

Xun Xu looked at the almost dry river bed outside the window: "This is the Yellow River?"

Xu Ning nodded: "That's right, it's the dry season now, the dams upstream have entered the water storage period, and the Yellow River is about to stop flowing."

The corner of Xun Xu's mouth twitched: "It's changed too much." No wonder the aura gets thinner as you go north.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the train arrived in Beijing.As soon as he got out of the train station, there was a gust of wind and sand rushing towards him.Xu Ning has lived here for many years, and has long been accustomed to the climate here. When he goes out, he habitually closes his mouth and squints his eyes. He couldn't dodge in time, and sand got into his mouth and eyes.

Xun Xu covered his eyes with his hands, and spat.Xu Ning took out the mask he had prepared earlier and gave it to him: "Put on the mask. Did you get sand in your eyes? Would you like me to take a look for you?"

Xun Xu let go of his hand, blinked hard, tears came out, Xu Ning handed him a tissue to wipe. "Be careful, the wind and sand here are very strong, and it's easy to be fascinated by the eyes." He reached out to hail a taxi, and quickly got into the car.

Xun Xu got into the car and wiped his eyes with a tissue dampened with water: "Why has Beijing become so bad? It's completely different from before."

Xu Ning smiled wryly: "The vegetation in the north is too severely damaged, the grasslands are turning into deserts, and the wind and sandstorms are especially severe in spring and autumn. How can it compare with yours at that time."

The taxi drivers in Beijing are all Kanye. He glanced at Xunxu: "The wind and sand today are not bad. If there is a sandstorm, it will be full of yellow sand fog. The sky has been falling sand, and the visibility is very good." Low, that's a horror."

"Does this happen often?" Xun Xu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, the sky was filled with a faint yellow mist, and the air was full of fine sand. Is this the capital city?In his memory, there are windy and sandy weather, but it is definitely not so serious.

The taxi driver said: "This young man doesn't look very old. When did you stay in Beijing? I have experienced the climate in Beijing since I was a child, and I am so used to it. Since 2000, there have been more sandstorms. And it’s very serious, it’s kind of overwhelming.”

Xun Xu smiled: "I also forgot, anyway, it was many years ago." The scenery outside the window is completely unfamiliar, all of which are high-rise buildings, and occasionally there are buildings with carved beams and paintings, which are just for show. This is no longer his memory. The capital in China is gone, can he still find those people?
