The fairy of space also farms

It feels so good to be home, even if I live in a courtyard full of expensive furniture, I don't feel as comfortable as my own home, but I am still at home.

Xu Ning went around the corners of the back mountain and the valley, looking at the sheep pens and vegetable fields, the shrimps in the valley, the fish in the rice fields, and the pigs and rat houses in the pigsty when he came back. The mouse in the house, seeing that everything is safe, feels very satisfied, it is better to be at home, seeing the things he raised and planted by himself, it is practical.

The two cats and two dogs at home followed his footsteps closely, never leaving. I haven’t seen the owner for a long time. I really miss him. Now that I’m back, hurry up and get closer. Even Ah Xuan, who has always been aloof, ran to Xu Ning Xu Ning was flattered to rub against his feet.

In the evening, Xu Ning and Xun Xu collected all the vegetables picked today and put them in the yard. Lao Xie, the vegetable picker, and Xu Ning's third uncle helped clean them up.Zhou Shusen had already prepared the meals, and he was waiting for them to finish their meal.At this moment, only half of the face of the setting sun was left, hanging on the top of Xishan Mountain, feeling like it was crumbling, the sky was dyed reddish purple by the setting sun, which looked extraordinarily enchanting.

Xun Xu straightened up, stretched his waist, pointed to the western sky and said, "In Beijing, you can't see such a sunset."

Xu Ning smiled, sunny days in Beijing are extremely rare, and there are many tall buildings everywhere, where can we see such a broad sky and charming sunset.

Zhou Shusen said: "The most beautiful and spectacular sunset I have ever seen is the sunset in the desert. I will never forget that scene in my life."

The image of "a long river with a setting sun" appeared in Xu Ning's mind, but in the desert, I am afraid that there is no long river, so the sunset must be far away and sad, and the sunset like this kind of small bridge and flowing water is more warm and kind. "Okay, everything is packed, everyone has worked hard these days, tomorrow I will deliver the food by myself, and Asen doesn't have to get up so early. Let's go and eat."

Zhou Shusen smiled: "You guys are back, so I'll be more relaxed. After dinner, I heated up the roast duck that Brother Xu brought back from Beijing, and the slices became slices. I also made the boiled shrimp that Brother Xun loves most."

Xu Ning said: "It's better to roast the duck freshly, but the taste of vacuum packaging is much worse. Let's try it fresh."

Xie Jiansheng and Xu Sanbo have never been out of the province in their entire lives, let alone eat roast duck. I heard that there is roast duck, and I am looking forward to it.Thanks to Zhou Shusen's good craftsmanship, he processed the roast duck again in the oven. The skin of the duck is still a bit crispy, and the sauce is well prepared.The old people were very satisfied with the meal, but Xun Xu lacked interest. He prefers the boiled shrimp. He has eaten a lot of seafood in Beijing, but he feels that it is not as good as his own prawns.The crabs I eat in Beijing are good, but if I raise them at home, the taste should be even better.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, only Xun Xu and Xu Ning were left at home.Xun Xu didn't watch TV and browse the web after dinner like in the past, but went to the yard to practice exercises in a serious manner.Seeing how hard he worked, Xu Ning knew that the supervision of those brothers in Beijing had worked. Thinking that he hadn't found the way with the exercise book, he went back to his room to meditate.

Meditation is originally a very good way of cultivating the mind. I didn't feel it at first, but after doing too much, I will feel this way.That night, after Xu Ning finished washing, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.He practiced the "Taiyi Water Method". Although he has not yet started the Tao, he also knows that it is related to water, so he discards all distracting thoughts. In his thoughts, there are only various forms of water, sometimes it is a vast ocean, and sometimes it is blue waves. Sometimes it is a mighty river, sometimes it is a gurgling stream, all of which are formed by the condensation of drops of water.The water droplets are formed by the condensation of water molecules invisible to the naked eye in the air. If the water molecules are accumulated one by one, it will become a water drop. When it is large enough, the water drop will pop fell to the ground.

Xun Xu happened to come in from the outside at this time, and found that Xu Ning had already settled down. In front of him, there was a small drop of water that could be seen with the naked eye.Xun Xu came in, bringing a little spiritual fluctuation, and then the drop of water slapped and fell to the ground.

Xun Xu smiled, Xu Ning has already got the door.He walked over and sat next to Xu Ning, with a loving and joyful smile on his face. He has entered the Tao so soon, and foundation building should be just around the corner. It seems that he has to hurry up.

Xu Ning let out a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, looked up, and fell into Xun Xu's eyes: "What's wrong?"

Xun Xu pointed to a little wet mark on the ground and said, "Look, you were able to condense into water droplets just now."

Xu Ning looked down at the watermark on the ground that was not much bigger than a fingernail, and was a little stunned: "I made it?"

Xun Xu nodded, and stretched out his arms to hug him: "It turns out that you are more suitable for practicing water kung fu than I thought. From now on, you will practice meditation every day for a period of time. I think you will be able to build a foundation soon."

"Building the foundation?" Xu Ning still felt a little unbelievable. Is he really cultivating?

"Well. Now is the Qi refining period. The main thing is to cultivate the mind and make the mind peaceful. Cultivation is actually like guiding water into the sea. When the water arrives, it will naturally become a channel. So don't worry, just like today, it will gradually accumulate. It is." Xun Xu said.

Xu Ning thought to himself, why am I in a hurry, take your time and do your best to obey the destiny.

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Xun Xu reached into Xu Ning's pajamas.

Xu Ning grabbed his hand: "I have a question, doesn't cultivating the Tao mean that the six senses must be clean, abstinence from sex and adultery? Why is dual cultivation not included?"

Xun Xu chuckled: "Cultivating the Tao is refining essence and transforming Qi, and dual cultivation is also for refining essence and transforming Qi. Naturally, it is beneficial to cultivating the Tao. Don't think too much, go to sleep quickly." After speaking, he turned off the light with a snap.

Xu Ning was crushed by Xun Xu when he was confused, and he still couldn't understand the truth.

The next morning, when Xu Ning got up, he felt a sense of lightness like a swallow. Could it be the result of yesterday's meditation?Can it still fly in the future?Xu Ning thought of the experience of Xun Xu taking him to fly against the wind before, and found it amazing.

One of him and Xun Xu went to catch shrimp in the valley, and the other went to fish in the paddy field, and were going to deliver the goods later.The fish in the paddy fields have not been fished for more than a week, that is to say, the space water has not been added for a week. Now when they are put into the space water, those fish become extremely sensitive, and they come all the way to suffer. Crowded together, there are all kinds of fish.

Xu Ning picked up two buckets of eel and loach with a sieve, one bucket was given to Chen Fu, the other bucket was given to Xu Tao, and the rest was sold in the store.As soon as he came back yesterday, Chen Fu called him and told him to send the loach and rice field eel as soon as possible.Xu Ning felt a little strange, even if he didn't have loach and eel to send over, it was not difficult for him to buy loach, how could he not be fooled.

Later, Chen Fu said that the loach and eel in Xu Ning’s family are particularly effective. Every male customer who goes to their health center will order a dish of loach or eel, saying that they feel refreshed after eating. Cool and lively.After Xu Ning went to Beijing, Zhou Shusen couldn't catch them, so he ran out of stock, so Chen Fu had to buy loach and eel from the market to make up for it. After eating, everyone expressed dissatisfaction, saying that Chen Fu was shoddy.Chen Fu was miserable, so he had to say that the boss who delivered the loach had gone on a trip, and the stock was temporarily out of stock, and it would take a few days to make up for it.So everyone looked forward to Xu Ning's return.

Knowing that he was back, Chen Fu strongly demanded to send twice as many loaches and eels there, otherwise he would come to their field to dig them himself.Xu Ning laughed: "If you don't mind the trouble, then dig it yourself." Of course, Chen Fu didn't have the American time to dig loach.

When fishing for fish, Xu Ning thought to himself, do loaches and eels really have such effects?They also ate it, but they didn't realize the mystery of it. Xun Xu only had abnormal behaviors when he ate turtles and raspberries, but he didn't show any abnormalities when he ate loach and eel.But Xun Xu doesn't eat much each time, he doesn't like loach, he thinks it has too many thorns, as for eel, he thinks it's troublesome to kill, it seems that he hasn't eaten it a few times, why don't he try it next time?

After catching the fish, Xun Xu already came over with the shrimps: "Okay. It seems that we don't have too many shrimps."

Xu Ning said: "It's almost November, and it's been three months since the prawns were harvested. There weren't many shrimps in the first place, and they're almost sold out."

"There will be no more shrimp to eat from now on." Xun Xu felt a little regretful.

Xu Ning said, "Isn't there still loach and eel?" These things have strong reproductive ability, and they should have been bred early in this season, so there is no need to worry about being out of stock.

"That one has more thorns, so it's not as enjoyable to eat as shrimp." Xun Xu was obviously not satisfied.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "You don't like it, so I'll sell it. Those people in the Chen Fu Health Care Center are rushing to get it."

"Is this delicious?" Xun Xu wondered.

Xu Ning laughed: "The taste is second, the main thing is the effect."

Xun Xu heard him laughing strangely, so he asked: "What is the effect?"

Xu Ning didn't say it directly, but said: "Anyway, men like to eat this."

Xun Xu rolled his eyeballs, and then "cut": "Do I still need to rely on this?"

Xu Ningxin said, I'll save trouble if you don't rely on this.As a result, when he came back that day, Xun Xu called Xu Ning to come back and fish for loach to eat.Xu Ning couldn't help laughing: "Don't you say you don't rely on this?"

"Of course I don't rely on this, can I eat it if I want?"

Loach and eel are raised in this season, and they are fat and strong. This is a scaleless fish, and its body is especially greasy. It is very troublesome to handle, and it is not easy to eat a meal.The eel is slightly better and longer, and the internal organs are taken out by making a cut on the belly with a knife.Zhou Shusen asked if he wanted to remove the bones. Xu Ning felt that after the eel pieces were deep-fried and crispy, the fish bones would be chewy enough, so there was no need to remove them.Later, it proved that it is better to remove the bone. Those who do not remove the bone are small eels with thin bones. After frying, the bones are crispy, but the bones of large eels are old and hard, and they cannot be fried crispy at all. So I have to spit out the bones, which is very troublesome to eat.

Loach is a little more troublesome. It is slippery, round and short, so it is difficult to handle.Zhou Shusen put the scooped loach into the water, soaked it with some salt, and the loach spit out the dirty things in its stomach, and then put it into the pot.It's a bit troublesome to eat, because you have to pick the internal organs while eating.

After eating loach and eel at night, it was indeed effective. Xu Ning himself felt this, not to mention Xun Xu, who pestered Xu Ning to fight until midnight, and Xu Ning was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes.The next day, Xun Xu called Zhou Shusen up and drove to deliver the food, saying that Xu Ning had a cold and wanted to rest.Zhou Shusen's eye circles were a little blue, and he didn't know why he didn't sleep well.Looking at Zhou Shusen's dark circles, Xun Xu couldn't help but chuckle, he is a young man, he eats this, and there is no place to vent his anger, I'm afraid Brother Five Fingers will be exhausted at night.

Xun Xu finally remembered something important, bought a lot of flower pots and came back. After returning, he began to put soil and sheep dung into the flower pots, and then moved them one by one to the balcony on the third floor.Xu Ning felt curious: "Xun Xu, what are you doing? Planting flowers?"

Xun Xu said, "No, I will plant some herbs."

Xu Ning felt strange: "What kind of herbs do you grow?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

After hearing what he said, Xu Ning didn't bother to care about it, and was a little curious in his heart, what kind of treasure, he had to move to the third floor to grow it.Not to mention, it's really a treasure. Xun Xu made his fortune relying on these dozens of flower pots. He sprinkled the seeds of herbs, went upstairs to look at them twice a day, and watered them with the space water released from Xu Ning's space. .

Xu Ning just laughed at him: "You are planting all radishes? Why don't you ask the season and sow the seeds, are you afraid that they won't sprout?"

Xun Xu frowned: "No way, the weather is mild. When it's cold, I'll move into the room." He used to plant herbs, but he never paid attention to the seasons. If he lacked something, he would quickly sow seeds. And still look good.

"That's fine, you can take care of it yourself." Xu Ning heard the names of those herbs mentioned by Xun Xu. They are indeed medicines, but they are very rare. He doesn't know where Xun Xu got the seeds. Can it be planted on the side?

No matter how much Xun Xu had, he still took good care of his flowerpot every day, and gave Xu Ning a handful of seeds, telling him to sprinkle them in his space.

The villagers are building strawberry greenhouses in full swing.Xu Ning also called someone to build a steel-frame greenhouse. The weather is fairly stable this season, so everything is convenient.Xu Ning has made a lot of steel-frame greenhouses, with a total of more than ten acres. Everyone in the village thought that Xu Ning would also build strawberry greenhouses, and they were a little worried, fearing that they would not be able to compete with him in the future.Xu Ning said that he was not a strawberry grower, but a vegetable grower, and everyone was relieved.

Xu Ning also told everyone that growing strawberries requires base fertilizer, and they can come to their house to pull sheep manure. Everyone is a little embarrassed, and Xu Ning has so many lands in his own house, and they all need to use them.When Xu Jingshan and Wan Jingui took the lead to pull the sheep dung, everyone dispelled their doubts and ran over to pull the sheep dung. The supply of sheep dung was still a little short.Xu Ning is not worried either, the sheep eat every day, and the strawberry field cannot be fertilized every day, so he is not worried about lack of fertilizer in the future.

Greenhouses in Qianlong Village have been erected one after another, and many strawberry seedlings have been planted.The greenhouse of Xu Ning's family has also been set up, and all the vegetables have been planted, so as to ensure that there will be no shortage of vegetables throughout the year, and there will be vegetables for sale at all times.Looking at the shining white shed from a distance, it is quite large.

The town wants to do a big project in Qianlong Village, so it will naturally send people to supervise the work. Director Li of the Agricultural Science Institute runs the most diligently. He is thinking about Xu Ning's strawberries and watermelons. Every time he comes, he will go to his house If you eat strawberries, they will be ripe once you come and go. "Xiao Xu, I heard that you don't plan to grow strawberries, and you don't participate in the village project? We have brought in all the sales channels, and you plant strawberries and sell them with everyone, isn't it good?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I still don't want to join in the fun. As you can see, I'm too busy to plant and pick strawberries on a few acres of land. I have to hire someone. Now everyone grows strawberries Now, where do I go to hire people? I grow some other vegetables and fruits, and the time is staggered. It is not difficult to hire labor, and it does not conflict with everyone. This is mutually beneficial, isn't it good?"

Officer Li ate the strawberries from Xu Ning's family, nodded with a smile: "That's the truth." This young man is smart, and his family's products are obviously better than everyone else's. If they all grow the same, other people's products will be gone. Advantages, of course, attract people's envy and hatred, that is, they are enemies of everyone, so it is better not to plant them at all.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "In the future, when everyone's strawberries are planted, our towns and counties can help promote the publicity, so that people in the city can come to us to experience life, picking strawberries, fishing, catching shrimp, and experiencing farm life. "

Director Li nodded: "Since we really want to do it, we will make a promotional video on the listing to attract all the people of Songcheng. Isn't the city engaged in tourism projects? Maybe you will be listed as a tourist attraction by then. .”

"If this is the case, that would be great. But everyone is just starting to grow, and our technology is limited. You are a professional, so I have to trouble Director Li to make a few more trips and give advice to everyone."

This high hat made Director Li very comfortable: "It's easy to say, you didn't see that I'm running here every two days now."

"Then it's hard work for you. Come, eat some of these small tomatoes, which are also grown by yourself." Xu Ning brought up the freshly washed cherry tomatoes, and gave Li a taste of them.The watermelon is gone, and the cherry tomatoes just come in. Anyway, it is enough to ensure that the fruit will continue.

Director Li likes to deal with smart people like Xu Ning. He is knowledgeable, not stingy, knows how to weigh the important and not fight for small profits, so he can make a lot of money.When I come here, I get free food and drinks every day, so I am willing to run.

Xu Ning is willing to keep this technician for a little benefit. With Li in charge, the responsibility on his shoulders will be much lighter. If everyone's harvest is not good, they will not feel that they are hiding something.In fact, it is true that he is not very good at planting.

After finishing all this work, Xu Ning still had a sum of money on hand, so he went to buy more than 50 sheep and came back.The ewes had already given birth to lambs, and they had a total of more than 160 lambs, none of which were lost. Adding the original 160 lambs, the current size of the flock is more than 380.

Soon it will be possible to slaughter sheep and eat meat again. Xu Ning took a sip of saliva thinking about the taste of lamb.He hurriedly turned his head to take a look, fortunately, there was no one around, why did he have the same virtue as Xun Xu, and thought of eating all day long.

After returning from the sheepfold, Xu Ning found that the uncle's family had come except Xu Tao.

"Uncle and aunt, brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing today?" Xu Ning asked.

Xu Jingshan just laughed: "It's okay, come to your house for a meal."

Xu Ning was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. If nothing happened, how could it be so neat? There must be something wrong.At this moment, Zhou Shusen came out of the kitchen: "Brother Xu, why didn't you tell me in advance of your birthday, so I can prepare early."

Xu Ning looked blank, then blinked: "What date is it today?"

Zhang Xiuzhi said: "Today is the 22nd of the ninth lunar month. Tomorrow is your birthday." They also attach great importance to the night before their birthday, which is called Nuan Shou.

Xu Ning scratched his head: "Did I celebrate my birthday? If you don't tell me, I'll forget it." Speaking of it, it's true that I haven't officially celebrated my birthday for many years. When I was with Gao Ya, Gao Ya still remembered to buy gifts Eating with him, after a long time, became casual, because he often forgot Gao Ya's birthday, of course, Gao Ya couldn't let him go, even if she forgot, she would remind him.

Zeng Ying said: Xu Tao said that he will celebrate your birthday at noon tomorrow and spend it in the store, so he wants you all to come over. "

Xu Ning felt a little embarrassed for mobilizing teachers like this: "No need, it's not a full birthday, there is nothing to celebrate, just have a light meal tonight."

"For so many years, we haven't celebrated your birthday with you. This year is your first birthday since you came back. Of course we have to celebrate." Zhang Xiuzhi said.

Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Xiaojing ran up, Xiaofeng handed Xu Ning a card, and Xiaojing held a lollipop: "Uncle, happy birthday!"

Xu Ning smiled happily: "Thank you, thank you. Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

Zhang Xiuzhi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all rolled up their sleeves: "You rest, we will help."

Xu Ning looked around, but didn't see Xun Xu, where did this guy go?Not long after, Xunxu came back with a bucket and a net bag. In the net bag was a grass carp weighing four to five catties. Xu Ning hurried to pick up the bucket: "Have you gone fishing?"

Xun Xu said in a low voice, "Why didn't you announce your birthday earlier, so I can prepare it for you earlier."

Xu Ning laughed: "I forgot about it myself."

Xun Xu put down his things and said, "I'll catch chickens and mountain rats to kill."

Seeing that there was no one he could help in the kitchen, Xu Ning went to help Xun Xu.Xun Xu said: "Tell me earlier, I will prepare a gift for you."

Xu Ning smiled sweetly: "What gift do you want? You're not a child anymore. By the way, when is your birthday?"

Xun Xu shook his head: "I don't know, we don't have a birthday."

Xu Ning said: "Then spend it with me, and celebrate your birthday today too."

"Okay."

That night, Chef Zhou Shusen cooked a table full of dishes. During the meal, Xu Ning said, "Today is really a coincidence. Not only is it my birthday, but Xunxu's is also celebrating my birthday, so the two of us celebrate together."

Everyone said: "That's really fate, let's celebrate together. Come, hold a glass of wine, and wish the two birthday stars a happy birthday!"

Rural people don't pay much attention to presents on their birthdays, and they always give cash gifts directly.So when the uncle and sister-in-law handed over the red envelope, Xu Ning refused to accept it, "It's enough for you to come and celebrate with me, what more red envelopes do you need!"

Xu Jingshan said: "This is the etiquette at home, just accept it."

Xu Ning said: "I have a casual birthday, not a full birthday, so I can't have it no matter what."

After debating for a long time, it was finally confiscated. Wang Yumei and Zeng Ying's two sisters-in-law discussed that since they don't want money, they should go buy a gift tomorrow.

In the evening, Xun Xu held Xu Ning in his arms and asked him, "What gift do you want?"

Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "I think I have everything now, and I don't lack anything. I want our days like this to last forever."

Xun Xu said: "I have a gift I want to give you. But I don't have the ability to do it this year. I will definitely give it to you next year."

"What is it?" Xu Ning was a little curious.

Xun Xu kissed him on the lips: "Temporary secret."
