The fairy of space also farms

After Ge Ying and the others left, the house became quiet again.It's rare to be free in winter, even the sun's footsteps are slow, Xu Ning also slowed down, and dealt with some trivial matters in a leisurely manner.

One day, he received a call from a student who was working at home during the summer vacation: "Old Xu, you didn't notify us when you eat roasted whole lamb?"

Xu Ning felt strange: "How did you know that my family eats roasted whole lamb?"

"We all saw the picture sent by Sister Shanshan. I want to eat roasted whole lamb too, is there any more?" the student yelled.

Xu Ning said: "There is no roasted whole lamb, only mutton."

"Aww, mutton is fine too. Let's boil mutton! Let's come here together."

Xu Ning said, "Wait, how many people?"

The number of people was reported over there, Xu Ning helped the forehead, good guy, more than half of the people working here this summer vacation will come, and this half of the people want to eat the poor, so they smiled and said: "There are too many people Come on, come to work, and you will have food after you work.”

The other side accepted the conditions calmly: "Okay, then we will come over tomorrow."

Xu Ning said: "Wait, let me think about it, I think you guys should come back in a few days, I still have a pig to kill here, so set a date to eat pig dishes."

"Old Xu, you are so kind, you are my idol. When will it be? Let me tell everyone first."

Xu Ning said a few days later, and the matter was considered finalized.

Guo Shanshan said to Xu Ning: "Brother, your farm is on fire. Business is booming recently. Look, this is today's order. Remember to deliver it tomorrow."

Xu Ning looked at the delivery slips in Guo Shanshan's hand, and there were a dozen of them: "Why are there so many slips?"

Guo Shanshan giggled: "I posted pictures of eating pork dishes and roasted whole lamb on the post bar, and it became a popular post. I also posted the name of the online shop, and many people placed orders."

"Post it?" Xu Ning occasionally went online to look up information, and communicated with people about the technology of raising sheep and rats, all of which were carried out in the post bar or forum, but he didn't expect that the post bar could also advertise.

Guo Shanshan said: "Don't underestimate the power of foodies. Where there is food, there are foodies. Their ability to distinguish good things is quite strong. In the future, these people will definitely develop into loyal fans of the store. Go send something Bar."

Of course, Xu Ning believes that people who have bought their own products will become repeat customers. Where can I buy such good things?He took the list and packed it. Although the quantity he asked for was not much, it was still a business.

When Chen Fu took away the three pigs he wanted one after another, it would be almost the end of the year.After being busy for a whole year, Xu Ning took stock and found that this year's harvest was particularly rich. He earned a house, a car, a row of sheep pens, won a lawsuit, and finally paved the road at the gate. On the cement road, there is still a considerable amount of savings left on hand. It can be said to be a very rich and prosperous year.

He said to Xun Xu with emotion: "At this time last year, I never dared to expect the present life." At that time, he and Xun Xu were looking up at the starry sky on the balcony of their home, the starlight was like polished diamonds, illuminated by spotlights Shining brightly, dazzlingly bright.

Xun Xu said: "Have you ever thought about living a more extravagant life, such as clothes and food and mouth?"

Xu Ning laughed: "Isn't it for dressing and eating when you have long hands? If you don't need to do this, then why do you have long hands? Just chop them off."

"This is just an exaggerated metaphor, that is, have you ever thought about living a more luxurious life? You don't have to work so hard." Xun Xu said.

Xu Ning said: "No, I really like my life now. I have worked hard on it myself. It tastes delicious and sleeps very peacefully."

Xun Xu laughed, his family Xu Ning is like this, a very upright person, he doesn't know how to cheat, play tricks, opportunistic, and do everything with peace of mind, and this is why he likes it. "If you like it, then I will accompany you."

"okay."

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Ning decided to kill the New Year's pig. He told the students in advance, and those people came over early in the morning, waiting to kill the pig for meat.At the beginning, a few of them wanted to come to Xu Ning's place to do winter jobs, not for money, but mainly for the fragrant and soft rice from Xu Ning's family.

Xu Ning thinks that there is nothing to do in winter, and winter is no better than summer. In summer, one bed and one blanket are enough. In winter, quilts are needed. He thought that he would prepare quilts for those people, and they would have to unpack and wash them in a few days. It was so troublesome that they simply didn't agree to come.

The students came for lunch, so Xu Ning decided to kill the pig in the morning.When the students arrived, the master butcher had not yet arrived and was still selling meat on the street.Everyone prayed that the master would come sooner, otherwise it would just be dinner, and you wouldn’t be able to go home if it was too late, and the pig-killing dish would be ruined.Xu Ning arranged for them to weed in the greenhouse. While working, everyone anxiously waited for the master to save their lunch.

Fortunately, meat was easy to sell near the end of the year, and the master butcher sold out the pork at eight or nine o'clock, and then came directly to Xu Ning's house.The students finally settled down, and they can eat meat at noon.

It has been more than half a month since the last local pig was killed, and the sausage and bacon have been smoked, so naturally there will be no more fresh meat to eat.Guo Shanshan, a foodie, stayed until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. She said that she had to finish eating the pig dishes before leaving. Not only did she want to eat, but she also wanted to take them home to eat. Of course, she also took orders for Xu Ning these days. , not counting as plain rice.

Hearing that the Year of the Pig is going to be slaughtered, many villagers who have tasted the sweetness last time came here. This one said it would cost ten catties, and that one said it would cost fifteen catties. Xu Ning was frightened when he saw the situation. I can’t live with everyone, and the meat is limited. I have to save it for my relatives and friends first, so that I can sell it. The quantity will definitely not be much at that time. Don’t buy it for ten catties or eight catties. Buy two catties and go back to try something new. Yes. I can’t provide the meat for Chinese New Year, I’m really sorry.”

Xu Ning first calculated all the meat to be given to relatives and friends, how much each family wanted, and kept it well, so that the rest could be sold.At first, I thought I could sell it in the store, but now it seems that even my own village can't satisfy me, so there is no point in selling it in the store.A few days ago, Xu Jun was still saying that some customers were still thinking about the wild pork they mentioned in the summer. Xu Ning felt a little fever in his ears, but there was nothing he could do.

This pig has been raised until now, and it is about the same size as the previous one. It weighed 220 catties after being killed. Xu Ning kept 120 catties of meat and sold the rest.Everyone almost robbed their heads for this meat, and finally Xu Ning had to impose a purchase limit. Each person can only buy a maximum of three catties, and they can only buy more if they have extra.

In the end, three catties were almost not enough for each, because some people wanted to bring three catties for their son, and some said they would bring three catties for their brothers. Those who were not present bought it first, and those who were not present waited until it was sold out to buy it, and if they did not buy it, there was nothing they could do, we couldn’t let those present go back empty-handed.”

Everyone booed: "You give us the part you keep for yourself."

Xu Ning quickly called Xun Xu and Zhou Shusen to help, and took the meat left by his family home to put it away.It can't be sold until the end that you can't eat meat, which is contrary to the original intention.

Finally, all these villagers were sent away, and a student sent a representative to ask: "Old Xu, you haven't sold out all your meat, we still want to buy meat."

Xu Ning glared at him: "It's good to have you guys eating, but you still want to go around? It's a good idea! Go to work, and I'll call you after dinner."

The students left resentfully, hey, treat them differently, isn't their money money?

Zhou Shusen made a big pot full of pig-killing dishes, as well as dry-pot fatty intestines, braised pork, and stir-fried kidneys. He didn't make more than ten all-pork feasts like last time. This time, the variety is small and the quantity is sufficient. This group of students who have been raised at home for more than ten days are still screaming after eating. Some students exaggeratedly picked up a piece of trembling braised pork, bit half of it, closed their eyes, and sighed: "Ah, it's really delicious!" This life is not in vain."

As a result, the sigh was too long, the breath was unstable or something, the half piece of meat on the chopsticks accidentally fell off, the rhubarb happened to be relatively close, the eyes were quick and the mouth was quick, and it was taken away in one bite.The student screamed: "The last piece of braised pork! This dog is so hateful, it actually snatches food from its mouth, spit it out!"

The students around laughed so hard that they fell down: "Yes! I tell you to show off!"

The student was still reluctant and chased rhubarb for meat.Xun Xu said: "Do you really want to eat the meat that rhubarb ate? Then I tell it to spit it out, do you really want to eat it?"

Then the student stopped, looked up and sighed: "I once had a piece of delicious braised pork in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If God gives me another chance..."

Xu Ning walked over and patted him on the head: "If you don't pick up vegetables, there will be no more butchered vegetables."

The guy quickly stopped being coquettish, and ran back to pick up vegetables.

Young people are energetic, and eating with them is enjoyable. Xu Ning likes dealing with these young people very much, which was the reason why he was willing to stay in school to teach.Now it has changed a way of life, and he also likes the opportunity to deal with students.

After eating, this group of people worked for another two hours, and then returned from casual work.Before leaving, these guys also said: "Old Xu, next year we will raise pigs, and we still want to eat butchered pigs."

Xu Ning said: "There will be no pig raising next year. There will be no more pork, and there will be other meat. Don't forget to come and help me with my work."

Sending off the students, Xu Ning drove his cousin Guo Shanshan home and sent pork to his uncles, aunts and aunts. In addition to pork, he also picked a lot of vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse. The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, so go first Say goodbye to a year.Usually Xu Ning seldom walks with his relatives, because he is too busy. He only visits during the holidays to send some food over. The elders seldom come to his house when they have nothing to do.

This is probably the way most rural people connect with each other. Therefore, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Relatives who are far away will move less and the relationship will be estranged.

Along the way, Xu Ning asked Guo Shanshan, "Are you talking to Zhou Shusen now?"

Guo Shanshan didn't answer, but asked, "Brother, what do you think of others?"

Xu Ning said: "He is a very nice person, but he has a bit of romanticism. I am worried that he will stay with me for a long time. When the time comes, will you run with him?"

Guo Shanshan said confidently, "Then I'll keep him. Anyway, he doesn't have parents, so it doesn't matter where he goes."

"I don't interfere with your affairs, anyway, you just have to figure it out. Why don't you let him send you back?"

Guo Shanshan smiled embarrassingly: "It's still a bit early, at least wait until I graduate. Brother, I'm serious, I will come to work with you when the time comes, and you will pay me a basic salary, and then I will help you build a Taobao store , you just give me the achievement, one yuan per order."

"Didn't you take the postgraduate entrance examination?" Xu Ning asked.

Guo Shanshan said: "I took the inter-professional exam, so I probably won't pass the exam. Besides, I'm a horticultural student. Isn't it good to come to your place to help grow fruits and vegetables?"

Gardening is far from growing vegetables and fruits, okay? Xu Ning said, "If you can convince your parents, I have no objection."

"Then it's settled!"

Xu Ning sent Guo Shanshan home, and sent the meat for the three uncles separately, eight catties of meat for each family.The second uncle's son, Guo Mingliang, also came back from the outside. The cousins ​​met and exchanged pleasantries. Guo Mingliang was very envious when he heard that Xu Ning's family's farming was flourishing, so he asked him about raising mountain rats. .

Xu Ning said: "Mountain rats are doing well. Now there are hundreds of them. I have sold more than 100 of them one after another. I made about [-] yuan, which is not a lot. Next year, there should be more than [-] of them. It’s worth tens of thousands, and it’s very easy to sell, but it’s out of stock, and it takes time to raise it.” To be honest, mountain rats are still small, and although they breed fast, the price of meat is about the same as that of mutton, but it’s not as expensive as mutton quick.

Guo Mingliang said: "That's okay. I can't make much money in the first year, but I can earn tens of thousands in the second year. I can grow some land at home and take care of my parents and children. I think it's better than working. I don't want to work." Alright, let’s start breeding mountain rats at home, Brother Ning, get me some mountain rat species.”

Xu Ning said: "Okay, I will get you dozens of pairs of seedlings, so that the scale can be expanded quickly."

"Okay, I'll go to your place to learn skills first, and I'll go after the Chinese New Year." Guo Mingliang smiled and showed his white teeth.

"can."

Xu Ning also said: "If you are really engaged in breeding at home, you can buy a few black piglets to raise, do not eat feed, pure soil pig feeding method, I will help you find a market. I fed a few wild boars this year, 20 Meat that costs more than 20 catty is crazy. If you don’t raise wild boars, you can sell meat for [-] yuan per catty, and you can sell it in my shop.”

Guo Mingliang's eyes brightened immediately: "That's okay, assuming that a pig grows two hundred catties a year, that's 4000 yuan, and raising four or five pigs, that's 2 yuan. Excluding the capital, you can make a lot of money."

Xu Ning nodded: "It's good to raise it with mountain rats. Both sides can get money."

Xu Ning is not bothered about this matter at all. It is a great honor to drive relatives and friends to become rich, just like he spared no effort in planting strawberries for the villagers. He hopes that everyone will become rich.Although Director Li has been running around their village as a technical guide, Xu Ning has not been a shopkeeper. He is always concerned about the growth of everyone's strawberries.When Director Li was away, if there was any problem with the strawberries in the villagers, they would ask him to help and give advice.

When Xu Ning finished delivering the things, it was almost dark, and the little aunt insisted on keeping Xu Ning at home for dinner, but Xu Ning couldn't refuse, so he had to call home and said that he would go back after eating at the little aunt's house .

The little aunt is younger than Xu Ning's father, and they are married in the same county, but the place is a bit remote. After passing Jianing, there is a town there, which is also full of mountains, and the natural conditions are better than Xu Ning's. It's much worse here at home.The little aunt's family is also working outside, and only the little aunt is at home to take care of the grandson. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the uncle and cousins ​​are back.

The little aunt and Xu Ning's father are about the same age, and the sibling relationship is relatively close. When Xu Ning's father was there, the siblings had a close relationship. Later, Xu Ning's parents were gone, and Xu Ning didn't come back, so the relationship was almost broken. .My aunt usually takes care of her grandson at home, and the family raises chickens and ducks. She has planted some land and can't leave her body at all, so she seldom goes to Xu Ning's house.This time Xu Ning came here to deliver something, and it was getting late again, so he had to stay for a meal anyway.

Xu Ning couldn't refuse, so he stayed.My uncle and cousin are doing interior decoration outside, and I still earn some money, but it is not stable, and the work is relatively hard. I heard that Xu Ning is farming and raising sheep at home, and he repaired the house, bought a car, Opened a shop, very envious.

Xu Ning said: "Working at home is hard work, but if you do it well, you can indeed make money."

My uncle is getting old. Although he earns seven to eight thousand a month when he is outside well, there are also times when he is not open for a month. When doing interior decoration, he often has to deal with compound materials such as paint and latex. These things contain Rich in harmful substances such as benzene and toluene, the body will not be able to bear it in the long run.He said to his nephew: "Ning Wazi, do you think it would be appropriate for us to plant or raise something at home?"

Xu Ning thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are many ways to do it, it depends on whether my uncle is willing to do it. For example, you can raise sheep, goats, and fish and shrimps, but raising this thing requires investment first. , and you have to take risks.”

Cousin Shi Jun asked: "Which one will pay back faster?"

Xu Ning said: "If you raise fish and shrimp, you can get a good harvest in the same year, but raising sheep and goats is slower. If you have a good water source here, it will be very good to raise fish and shrimp. Do you remember the one over there at my house?" Is it Xi? I hired it to raise shrimps, which are prawns, and the cost is very low. The shrimp seedlings only cost more than 1000 yuan, but they earned 20 to [-] yuan." He said a relatively conservative figure. [-], when the time comes, they will raise it themselves. If they don’t have such a good income, don’t they have to blame themselves.

Shi Jun was moved by the words: "It's so good? We also have a stream here, which can be blocked to raise shrimps."

Uncle smoked a cigarette and shook his head: "No, our stream is too shallow, it will stop flowing if there is less rain, and if there is a drought, it will dry up in vain."

Xu Ning also said: "I also contracted Qianlongyan, and now I am raising prawns and sturgeons. If you have a deeper fishpond reservoir with more lively water, you can also contract it to raise fish and shrimps."

"What kind of fish is a sturgeon? Chinese sturgeon?" Shi Jun asked.

"It's the same kind as the Chinese sturgeon, but I raise the European sturgeon, the sturgeon from Europe. The cost of raising this fish is very high, the fry are expensive, and the feed cost is relatively high. You need to eat insect meat, or buy special feed. It also grows slowly and is too risky, so I don’t recommend you to raise them. Raising shrimp is more cost-effective and pays off quickly.”

The aunt who has been feeding her grandson said: "Isn't our Bai'an reservoir here going to be re-contracted this year, or should we contract it to raise shrimp?"

Uncle said: "Don't talk nonsense, the Bai'an Reservoir is so big, and the contract fee is 10,000+ a year, it's scary, it's expensive."

Xu Ning said: "Generally speaking, if the water is wide, the water quality will be better, and it is not impossible to pack it. But if you want to raise shrimp, you can only use cages, otherwise there is no way to catch shrimp."

Shi Jun was very moved. Nowadays, young people have a lot of ideas. They are unwilling to work for others and want to start their own business. He said: "The key is that they have no technology. If something happens, all the money invested will be wasted."

What Shi Jun said is the truth, and this is also the psychology of the vast majority of people. Because they are worried about losing money, everyone adopts a relatively conservative pace and dare not make big strides. Therefore, those who are bold and aggressive will always earn more money, because Benefits and risks go hand in hand.

Uncle sighed: "Yeah, it costs 10,000+ to build a reservoir, and I estimate it will cost tens of thousands to store fry. That's almost 20."

Xu Ning said: "If it is a problem of insufficient money, I can lend some to my uncle. In terms of technology, if Junjun believes in me, he can come to my house to learn for a while."

Shi Jun looked at Xu Ning, his expression still fluctuating: "Is it really wrapped?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide. If you don't include the reservoir, I don't think Junjun should go into the interior decoration industry. It's really bad for your health and you can't do it for a long time."

Uncle said: "Then let's discuss it again."

When Xu Ning returned home, it was almost ten o'clock, and Xun Xu was a little unhappy: "What delicious food is there at your aunt's house that keeps you here?"

Xu Ning smiled: "There's nothing to eat, the main reason is that we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat and get in touch."

"Is there anything to contact, I don't see each other several times a year." Xun Xu was a little dissatisfied, the biggest dissatisfaction was that he didn't take himself there.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's right, I've seen too little. I'll have to run around more in the future. Relatives need to move around a lot to kiss."

"It's said that you're fat and you're out of breath, right?" Xun Xu stared at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning ignored him and asked, "Have you eaten yet? What's for dinner?"

Xun Xu snorted: "Braised lion's head."

"Is it delicious? Did you save it for me?"

Xun Xu pointed to his mouth: "I leave it here for you, you can eat it if you want."

"You're so stingy, you don't keep good things for me."

"Who told you not to come back?"

Xu Ning laughed: "Didn't I take you to my aunt's house for dinner? Why are you so angry? I've eaten lion's head, and it still can't calm your anger?"

Xun Xu turned around and went upstairs.This guy was really angry. Xu Ning shook his head helplessly. He changed his shoes and followed him upstairs.

Xun Xu was lying on the bed playing mobile games, Xu Ning sat over and said, "Aren't you going to practice for a while?"

"It's over."

"Oh, then I'll practice for a while." After speaking, he sat down on the carpet beside the bed. This carpet was recently bought, and the long-haired carpet was very comfortable.

Xun Xu saw Xu Ning sitting in meditation, and the aura around him suddenly became energized, rushing towards Xu Ning.He thought about it, sat down, and began to meditate. Apart from dual cultivation and external skills, he rarely practiced. Today, he was infected by Xu Ning, so he also thought about it.

Xun Xu is a divine beast that collects the aura of heaven and earth. His cultivation base is much higher than that of Xu Ning, so when he cultivates, he can affect a wider range and fill up his aura.

Xu Ning was practicing, and suddenly felt warm all over his body, as if soaked in hot water, very comfortable, every pore on his body seemed to be stretched, and spiritual energy was poured into his body from all entrances.His body was desperately absorbing it, while he tried his best to direct the gaseous spiritual energy to the eight extraordinary meridians, wandering in the body, and finally gathered in the dantian, compressing a large group of spiritual energy forcefully, and then gathered it into a very small drop of liquid, Store it in Dantian.

After Xu Ning finished all this, he opened his eyes and found that Xun Xu was sitting next to him in meditation. When did he come here?Xu Ning had never seen Xun Xu meditating and practicing.I saw him with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, with his hands loosely clasped in a formula, placed on his knees, his whole posture was leisurely and natural, very attractive.

Xu Ning sat cross-legged at the same spot, propped his head on his hands, and turned his head to look at Xun Xu.After an unknown amount of time, Xun Xu's eyes opened, he turned his head slightly, and his dark eyes met Xu Ning's: "What are you looking at? Isn't my brother handsome? Do you feel that you love me so much that you can't extricate yourself? "

Xu Ning put his hand down and couldn't help laughing: "Such a handsome guy, but his words are so funny, what a sharp contrast."

Xun Xu stretched his waist: "What's cute? Brother is a cool brother."

Xu Ning didn't feel tired at all, he said to Xun Xu, "I have something to discuss with you."

"what?"

"My sister-in-law may borrow some money from us."

"What is it for?"

"My uncle and cousin may want to raise fish and shrimp at home and contract a reservoir."

"Oh, how much do you want?" In fact, Xun Xu didn't care how much he borrowed, but since Xu Ning discussed this issue with him, he respected himself and should participate in it.

Xu Ning shook his head: "I don't know the details. I just said that there is a possibility. They haven't contracted the reservoir yet. If they get the contract, they will come to us to learn the technology. And Guo Mingliang, do you still remember me? My second uncle’s son, when he was young, said that he wanted to raise mountain rats, but he brought it up again when I went there today, and I plan to give him dozens of pairs of mountain rat seedlings, and he will come to live here for a while and learn how to raise mountain rats.”

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if they don't interfere with our lives."

"Probably not."

Xun Xu suddenly said: "The lion's head should be eaten while it's hot, so I didn't save it for you. I'll let Asen make it for you during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, then remembered what was going on, and said happily, "Hey, good."

Xun Xu stood up: "Go take a shower, go to sleep."
