The fairy of space also farms

Shrimp fry and sturgeon fry are easy to handle. Put them directly in weir ponds or valleys without much protection. Only crabs will be more troublesome, because crabs can be tossed much more than shrimps, and they can leave the water, so they must be strictly guarded around They defended to the death, and blocked them all with dense nets more than one meter high.Xu Ning put a lot of water in the valley and weir ponds, and the guys who had just arrived settled down.

After all this is done, it is already December.The weather is also gradually getting colder. Every evening, Xun Xu moves the herbs he planted back to the house, and then moves them outside in the morning. Every day, Xu Ning finds that Xun Xun has become very patient. what?

Xu Ning practiced the "Taiyi Water Method", and the effect is quite remarkable. He has been able to condense water droplets freely, but the amount is still limited.Xun Xu said that if he really succeeds in cultivation, he will be able to manipulate water at will in the future, whether it is in the air or in rivers, lakes and seas.Xu Ning thought to himself, why do he control the water when he has nothing to do, to water the ground?Anyway, it's practicing, let's practice, maybe one day there will be drought, but there will be artificial rainfall.

Now the shrimp fry and fish fry are very small, and no one is likely to worry about it, but Xu Ning still wants to hire someone to guard the weir pond, because he needs to feed food frequently, and clean the sturgeon cages from time to time, so that the fish and shrimp They are all grown up, and they have to be guarded at night.Xu Ning began to issue notices to recruit people as soon as he bought the shrimp seedlings. The salary was the same as Zhou Shusen's, two thousand and five packs of board and lodging, and a bonus at the end of the year, because this person was going to live by the Yantang, compared to Zhou Shusen's Come and work harder.

There used to be a two-room cement-brick house beside the Yantang. Xu Ning discussed with the original owner and bought the two rooms, discounted some money for him, and kept it for himself.

Xie Jiansheng heard that he was looking for someone to release the fish, and he would stay there at night, so he came to Xu Ning and said, "See if no one has been found in the fish pond, or I will go. I will put the fish in the morning." After feeding the prawns, come over to pick vegetables in the afternoon, and live by the pond at night. Just give me two thousand and five for your wages, and you don’t need to pay me for picking vegetables.”

Xu Ning did not expect that Xie Jiansheng would offer to guard the fish pond for him. He was willing to do this. Of course, he would save a lot of money, but he felt that this job was not suitable for the elderly. He couldn't bear it, and cleaning the cages was a lot of work, so he might not be able to do it.

Xu Ning explained the matter clearly to Xie Jiansheng, but Xie Jiansheng said that he was capable: "I can row a boat, so let me row a boat and do it slowly. Don't worry, I have fished in the river before, and the water quality is very good. Woolen cloth."

Xu Ning didn't know how to refuse the old man, so he had to say: "Let's wait and see, Xie Bo, you are older, and I don't feel at ease living there alone. The humidity there is too heavy, which is harmful to your health. not good."

Of course, Xie Jiansheng also knew the fact that he was too old, whether it was feeding or vigil, he was not in the upper hand, seeing what Xu Ning said, he stopped insisting.

A few days later, Xu Jingshan came to Xu Ning's home with a middle-aged man in his 50s. This man was named Zhou Liang. He said that he was a professional fish farmer in Caomenyan. Due to the drought, the water level of the reservoir dropped, and the fish died. They lost all their money and couldn't even pay the contract fee, so the rent was refunded.I accidentally heard that someone wanted to recruit fish farming workers, and the wages were not low, so I came to ask about the situation.

Last year, the weather was very dry. From the beginning of spring to the end of summer, there was no heavy rain, and the river was still cut off. Xu Ning came back late, and did not catch up with the most difficult days.There is no river in Caomenyan, and only a few reservoirs are used to maintain the living and production water of several surrounding towns. The water is so dry that even drinking water has become a problem, and the fish in the reservoirs cannot be raised naturally. .Zhou Liang was also very unlucky. The day before he made up his mind to catch fish, all the fish died. In the hot weather, there was no time to deal with the dead fish, and they all stink.

Xu Ning listened to Zhou Liang talk about his own experience, looked at his stocky figure, his face was tanned by the sun, and his face was full of vicissitudes. When talking about fish farming, he was very clear, his eyes were shining, and he was very experienced. .Xu Ning thought it was suitable, and negotiated with him on the spot, asking him to come and guard the fish pond, saying that if the harvest in the pond was good, a bonus would be given at the end of the year, of course, at the end of next year.

Xie Jiansheng heard that Xu Ning had found the right person, so he didn't say anything. Xu Ning paid him 600 yuan a month as a salary plus [-] yuan bonus, and also included a dinner. In fact, it was very good. Old man, where can I earn hundreds of dollars a month?

Xu Ning arranged for Zhou Liang to live in a cement brick house by the Yantang, and assigned him the tricycle at home to pull feed and the like.Xu Ning asked him whether he wanted to cook by himself or go back to the farm to eat. Zhou Liang thought it was too troublesome to go three times a day, so he decided to eat and live there.As for the vegetables, they come to the farm to pick them. The meat is also prepared by Xu Ning. He comes to pick it up or Xu Ning sends some over.Even if this matter is settled.

After a while, Zhou Liang called his wife over, saying that he was cooking for himself, and did not ask Xu Ning to pay her.After thinking about it, Xu Ning entrusted them to raise the shrimps and crabs in the valley, and paid Zhou Liang's wife 1000 yuan a month.Zhou Liang and his wife were very satisfied and did their best.

In the past, Xu Ning raised shrimps, mainly feeding them with grain feed, rice bran, bean dregs, and cornmeal. Occasionally, he would go to the street to collect some viscera of chickens, ducks and fish for the shrimps to eat. In addition, the valley is a running water, and there will be a lot of plankton. , didn't worry too much.But now that we have sturgeons, we can’t just feed them grains. Sturgeons are carnivorous animals, and they need to eat bugs and small fish to grow fast.

Xu Ning learned how to build a few cement ponds to raise water worms. The raw material for raising worms is sheep manure from sheep pens.In this way, prawns, sturgeons, and crabs can all be used.Small sturgeon can still eat earthworms, but big sturgeon can't. How many earthworms does it take to feed a fish?Xu Ning thought again and again, and put some grass carp and carp that could coexist with prawns in the weir pond, and sprinkled ryegrass seeds around the weir pond, and asked Zhou Liang and his wife to mow the grass and throw them in to feed the fish. All will be bait for the sturgeon.

Xun Xu rubbed his chin and said, "No wonder the sturgeon is so expensive. Look at what it eats. It's all meat. The cost is too high."

"That's right, it's not without reason that it's expensive." Xu Ning laughed.

In December, the weather became colder. Both Xu Tao and Chen Fu were asking Xu Ning when they would start killing sheep so they could eat mutton.Xu Ning found that it was indeed the season to eat mutton. In the past year, the sheep in the family ate the grass bred by the space water and drank the space water.

So Xu Ning picked a sunny day, invited Master Wu over, and started slaughtering sheep.For the first time to slaughter sheep, Xu Tao ordered one, Chen Fu ordered two, Xu Ning asked for one in his shop, and planned to kill four.

Master Wu has coveted Xu Ning's sheep for a long time. Last year, he hoped to buy Xu Ning's sheep this year to kill and sell them. But now that Xu Ning has opened his own shop, he doesn't need to go to the street to set up a stall at all. Automatically come to the door, so it is impossible to buy Xu Ning's sheep, and can only eat his lamb first by taking advantage of the nearby water tower.

Chen Fu heard that the sheep were finally going to be slaughtered, so he came to wait for the slaughter in person, and when the first two were finished, he put them in his cart.Xu Ning originally planned to sell it at 50 yuan a catty, but Chen Fu waved his hand: 55 yuan a catty, the same price as shrimp.Chen Fu felt that Xu Ning was a good person, but there was one thing wrong with him. He was too benevolent.Of course, if you do business with such a person, you will not suffer.

Xu Ning also knew that the price of his mutton was more than this, but the whole market price was the same, so he was ashamed to disturb the order.Chen Fu glared at him: "You are so petty. Have you ever heard of Kobe beef? How much does it cost per catty? Seven or eight hundred per catty, do you think it's cruel?"

Xu Ning just laughed: "I can't do this brand."

Chen Fu said: "You have to do it. In the future, maybe your mutton will go abroad and be sold to Japan, so that those little devils will grab your mutton and eat it."

"Brother Chen taught you the right thing, I'll work hard!" Xu Ning coped with this, but he didn't think so in his heart. Everyone can eat his delicious mutton, and seeing people's satisfied smiles gives him a sense of accomplishment.

When Chen Fu left, he had to take more than a dozen mountain mice, and he took a fancy to Xu Ning's capon cock, and asked Xu Ning to catch chickens for him.Where Xu Ning was too busy, he said, "Don't make any trouble, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning." Now the chickens are running wildly outside, catch them, let's catch them blindly, when the chickens are in the cage at night, you can catch which one you want Only.

Chen Fu said: "Okay, you can send me five tomorrow and pick the big ones."

"understood."

Chen Fu drove away, and Master Wu continued to kill sheep.When the villagers heard that Xu Ning’s family had killed a sheep, they all flocked to buy mutton to eat. Last year, they ate Xu Ning’s mutton. In retrospect, it still smells like a lingering fragrance on their cheeks. Even if it is five yuan a catty more expensive this year , you have to try it too.So before they went to the street, one was divided. Xu Ning found that his budget was insufficient, so he had to ask Master Wu to kill another one.

Master Wu was busy for a long time, and he didn't finish handling the five sheep until it was almost dark. Xu Ning left him to finish the meal. Master Wu knew that this mutton feast was indispensable, so he didn't refuse.Although Zhou Shusen had never eaten the mutton from Xu Ning's house, seeing everyone's strong response and thinking about the things he usually ate at Xu Ning's house, he knew that the mutton was definitely not bad, so he showed his housekeeping skills, Start making dinner.

In the evening, there were quite a few people eating at home. Except for the original diners in their family, there were more Master Wu and Director Li from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences. This was Xu Ning who asked him to stay. He said that he would drive him and Master Wu after dinner. Back, Xu Jingshan and Xu Jun's family were there, and Zhou Liang and his wife were also called.The first time I killed a sheep, I had to reward my own people no matter what.

Xun Xu whispered to Xu Ning, "What is Kobe beef?"

Xu Ning said: "There is a place in Japan called Kobe, and the beef produced in that place is called Kobe beef, which is very famous."

"Is it delicious?" Xun Xu asked.

Xu Ning thought for a while: "I haven't eaten it either, let's try it next time. But I don't think it will taste better than our mutton."

Xunxu Diandian: "I think so too. But I still want to try."

It wasn't the first time for Director Li to eat at Xu Ning's house. He had eaten mountain rat meat, eel, loach, and prawns from Xu Ning's house before, but he didn't have any mutton.But as a native of Shaqiao, I have never eaten Xu Ning's mutton, so I have heard of it. Everyone knows the mutton of Changweixuan.What, you don't know?Then you don't eat mutton, right?If you eat mutton and haven't eaten mutton from Changweixuan, it means you haven't eaten mutton.

Where did Changweixuan's mutton come from? It was raised by Xu Ning's family. Now that the source has been found, how could Director Li let it go? I heard that his family is going to slaughter sheep, so I quickly bought two catties of mutton while it was close to the water. go back to eat.Director Li is now the technical specialist for strawberry planting in Qianlong Village, and is responsible for strawberry technical guidance.When he was appointed as a commissioner, he was still a little unhappy. It was okay to come here every now and then, but he came every other day, exposed to the sun and rain, and tired.But gradually I noticed the benefits. Qianlong Village is not far from the town, and there are delicious treats here every day. This is better than any errand. I feel much better after running outside every day.

He basically stayed in Qianlong Village these days. The strawberry greenhouse has been set up and the strawberry seedlings have been planted. Now is the critical moment for cultivation, so he has to keep an eye on it.The village arranged for him to have lunch at various houses, but basically he ate at Xu Ning's house.Because Xu Ning eats well and the food is very delicious, Xu Ning also often comes to take the initiative to pull him to eat.

Director Li originally thought that Xu Ning wanted him to help point out the fruits and vegetables on his farm, but every time Xu Ning talked with him about strawberry planting techniques, and also hoped that he could give more pointers to the villagers on strawberry planting technology.If Director Li hadn't known who the head of Qianlong Village was, he would have thought that the head of the village was Xu Ning.

Xu Ning also opened up. At the beginning, he suggested that everyone grow strawberries. Of course, he still hopes to plant them well. If they don't grow them well, then he will be guilty of great crimes.Director Li thought that Xu Ning was still a kind person, so he gradually became friends with him, and sometimes gave him advice on how to prune the fruit trees in his house, how to prevent pests, etc.

The meal in the evening was very rich, including stewed, braised, stir-fried mutton, and haggis soup. The whole yard was filled with a strong smell of meat. To be precise, the whole Qianlong Village should be filled with a strong smell. Strong meat flavor.More than a dozen people gathered around a large table, eating meat and drinking heavily. In the early winter night, the steaming heat, the strong smell of meat, and the harmonious laughter constituted a warm and beautiful picture.

Those who ate most seriously were the two children, Fengfeng and Jingjing, as well as the two cats and two dogs of Xu Ning's family. They were lying next to their respective food bowls, trying to gnaw at the meat and bones with their heads tilted.Little wolf and little tiger are usually sent to look after the sheep in the sheepfold. Except for meal time, they seldom come here. They are not as free as Ah Xuan and Xiaobao, so Xu Ning has never been mean to the food of the two dogs. , what the dog eats is what he eats, and he is full.

Xu Ning was going to drive Director Li and Master Wu back at night, and he was the only one at the table who didn't drink.Master Wu usually likes to have a drink or two, but now that it is night again, there is no need to do other things. There are good food and wine on the table, and there are drinking buddies like Xu Jingshan and Lao Xie, so everyone drinks openly.So the meal was late, the young people had a rest, and the older ones were still drinking and chatting.

Xu Ning originally planned to send Director Li back first, but Director Li obviously didn't want to bother him so much, so he said he was waiting to go with Master Wu.Xu Ning went to deal with some chores, first sent the two dogs to the sheep pen, and Xun Xu also went to the sheep pen with him.

The night in early winter is a bit dry and cold, the air is cool and fresh, the sky is full of stars, and there is a feeling as smooth and soft as velvet satin, which makes people's hearts soften.Xun Xu took Xu Ning's hand and walked on the back hill. At this time, there was no one around, the atmosphere was harmonious, and it happened to be a date.

The two kept the same pace, the two German Shepherds followed closely at their feet, Xu Ning could touch them after walking a few steps, after touching them two or three times, Xu Ning felt that something was wrong, they are not like this usually, what happened today Not walking well, he stopped to observe, saw the little wolf walk a few steps, then put his nose to the back of the little tiger's buttocks to sniff.

what happened?What happened to the back of Xiaohu's butt?Xu Ning picked up the phone, turned on the flashlight, and went to take a picture of Xiaohu's buttocks. Xiaohu moved around a little uneasy, but Xu Ning couldn't take pictures for a while.Xun Xu said: "Little Tiger, don't move!"

Only then did Xiaohu calm down. Xu Ning's flashlight shone through, and found that Xiaohu's vulva was a little swollen and bloody: "Xiaohu is in heat!"

Xun Xu leaned over to take a look: "Really? Then let it breed now?"

Xu Ning said: "No, I don't plan to make it match in the first year, let's wait for next year. They probably didn't match themselves, I forgot to read these days."

"Why not?" Xun Xu was puzzled.

Xu Ning said: "The bitch hasn't fully matured in the first year, and it's not good for Xiaohu's health. Let's wait until next year."

"Oh." Xun Xu asked curiously, "How do you know this?"

Xu Ning said: "You forgot, I originally studied veterinary medicine. Not only can I treat diseases, but I also know how to breed and deliver babies." As he spoke, he pulled the little tiger by its collar and separated it from the little wolf. The temptation of the breath on his body kept coming closer, "Xun Xu, you hold the little wolf."

"Oh, good." Xun Xu didn't bother to pull, and said, "Little wolf, come here. You are worthless, you are only so old, and you want to find a wife?" Little wolf obediently walked to his feet went.

Xu Ning said: "From now on, the little tiger will not be able to herd the sheep. Let the little wolf go alone in the future."

"How long will it be closed?"

"It will take about half a month. Lock it in an empty sheep pen, and remember to feed it every day. After the estrus period is over, it can be released." They have already arrived at the sheep pen. , There was a light on outside the sheepfold, Xu Ning led Xiaohu to the sheepfold to lock him up.

The little wolf wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Xun Xu, it turned its head and lay down on the ground, why not let it get close to the little tiger.Xun Xu hooked the little wolf's neck with his toe, and said to it: "You know, you have to be patient when chasing your wife. Take your time. If you are too impatient, your wife will be unhappy."

Xu Ning locked up the little tiger, and Xun Xu locked the little wolf in the dog house where he usually lived, and went to the sheepfold to check the sheep together.After returning from the sheep pen, the old people were almost drunk, so Xu Ning took the car keys, moved the mutton that Xu Tao wanted into the car, and brought it to him along the way.Officer Li and Master Wu got into the car, and Xun Xu went with them, saying that there was something to do, but Xu Ning knew that Xun Xu wanted to accompany him.

After sending off Master Wu and Officer Li, they sent the mutton to Xu Tao's shop.The weather was cold, and Xu Tao and his wife thought it was troublesome to run around, so they shared a two-bedroom house with one living room behind the shop with Zeng Chao and his wife, and lived on the street at night.Xu Ning saw what Xu Tao meant, that he was going to buy a house in the town, or buy a piece of land to build a house by himself. Go up and become a city resident, because everything is convenient on the street, and the conditions for children to go to school are better.Xu Ning is happy in the countryside, clean and quiet, has his own car, and it is very convenient to buy anything.

It was already past ten o'clock when we came back, the road was sparsely covered with darkness, Xu Ning drove slowly, and he didn't rush for those few minutes anyway.At a corner, a motorcycle suddenly rushed up from behind, and quickly overtook Xu Ning's car and rushed forward. Xu Ning saw a dog rushing out from the side of the road to cross the road. I bumped into it, only to hear the dog screaming, rolled over suddenly on the road, and stopped moving.

Xu Ning sweated, thinking that the motorcycle would definitely turn over, but he didn't stop at all and walked away.Xu Ning had no choice but to stop the car and get out to check the dog.

Xun Xu also came down from the other side: "How is it? Are you dead?"

Xu Ning said: "It's a bit seriously injured, but it's not dead yet. Come and see if you can survive." As he spoke, he pinched the dog's mouth open and poured space water into it. There was a puddle of blood on the ground. Where is the injury.

Xun Xu stretched out his hand and probed: "I don't know if I can live. Take it back. If you can't live, you will eat dog meat."

The dog barked, as if it understood Xun Xu's words.Xun Xu said: "Am I wrong? You don't look at the road when you walk? You still have to cross the road when there is a car coming!"

Xu Ning took the dog into his space, and was going to release it when he went back.When he got home, Zhou Shusen had already packed up the house and went to the sheep pen.Xu Ning released the dog from his space, and Xun Xu checked it under the light, and found no obvious external injuries, only blood stains were found around the mouth, it should be internal injuries, I don't know if the injuries are serious Nothing serious.The dog whined in pain, and Xun Xu stretched out his hand to touch its body, using spiritual energy to relieve its pain.Then Xu Ning took it back into his space and let it stay in the space for one night, maybe it will be fine tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Xu Ning practiced "Taiyi Water Method" for a while as usual, and Xun Xu went to practice outside the house. Originally, Xun Xu said that Xu Ning would also learn Kung Fu, but Xu Ning's time is really limited, so he can only practice internal skills first Kung fu and external skills can't be practiced for the time being, until the foundation is firmly established.

Xu Ning has only formally practiced for more than a month, but he has already been able to flexibly control water. Although he himself does not understand the matter of Taoism, he also feels that his progress should be very fast. He asked Xun Xu, is it a little strange normal.Xun Xu smiled and said, this is nothing more than normal, they are doing double cultivation every day, Xu Ning's body is already full of aura, if these auras are originally countless messy streams, and the exercises are similar to water channels, what he did Yes, it is to lead the stream into the sea. If there is a source of water, why is it not happy to become a sea?

Since it is normal, Xu Ning doesn't think so much, and only does what he should do every day. Although cultivating Taoism seems to be something for outsiders, Xu Ning prefers the trivial life in the world. Taoism is just icing on the cake.
