Back home to start a farm

What happened at Qu Chi's side in the middle of the night didn't have to wait a day. The villagers who helped him publicized it to the whole village that morning, and it became a hot topic of discussion.

When the villagers know about it, they will inevitably think of themselves. Although the vegetables they grow are not as good as Qu Chi's painstaking efforts to grow them, the selling price is still higher than the market price. Now they are their main source of income.

As long as the sacks of pesticides and fertilizers are poured in, if the situation is better, it will only affect the taste. If the situation is worse, the vegetables will be burned to death, and the land may be polluted.

They are all farmers who have been farming for many years. When they think of this possibility, they feel indescribably uncomfortable.It's okay to steal an order, but it's an attempt to directly destroy the land.

And I still think about it deeply. From last year to now, my family has sold a lot of income from selling vegetables, and most of the money has been deposited in the bank.But they earn a lot of income from selling vegetables every day, and they can't run to the bank in the town every day, they only go to the bank after saving a certain amount.

Rich people look down on the cash in their hands, but not necessarily those idlers in the nearby villages, including the town.If he dared to do something to the farmland this time, he might break into the house next time.

Just two years ago, thieves came to Qu Youtian's house, the richest family in the village. The family slept soundly and didn't notice it at all. Everyone said they were drugged.

Just thinking about it makes me sweat.

Now I know that some people will be greedy for their income. Apart from waiting for the police to deal with it, their village should also take some measures.

So not long after breakfast, people kept stepping on the threshold of the village chief's house, and they all came for the same purpose.

The village chief saw that more and more people came, and this incident involved the whole village, so he simply asked the big guys to go back first, and at least one person from each family in the village came to discuss things together. good idea.

Xishan Village is a small village. There were not many households in the past. In recent years, many households have moved out. Now there are only about a hundred households, and most of them live next to each other. Only Qu Chi and Qin Shi live. farther away.

The news that the village head was going to hold a meeting spread quickly. If you send a message, make a phone call, or pass by the door, you will hardly miss anyone. When the time comes, every family will send a representative to stand in the village. Committee's yard.

After everyone arrived, the village chief took a loudspeaker and repeated what happened last night, and then raised today's topic: "...Our village has made a lot of money from last year to now, and there must be some people who are jealous." , What happened in the village last night is a warning. I called everyone here today to discuss a good way to protect the land of our village!"

"The bums are so rampant now, we can't be polite to them. My house still has the traps used to prevent wild boars. I put them in the grass at night to see who dares to come." The young man who was the most stubborn when he was young waved his hand. , If there is no table next to it, I will shoot it directly.

"Old man, what kind of bad idea are you thinking? If you hurt someone, you pay for the medical expenses." Another second uncle immediately retorted, "It's better to have more dogs."

"If the dog bites someone, you still have to pay for the medical expenses." The third uncle was not happy to be refuted, and directly turned back to the second uncle who refuted him.

"You're being unreasonable, aren't you? A well-trained dog will prevent theft and not bite people. Then it will be enough to make a nest next to the farmland." The second uncle looked at the third uncle proudly, with his beard curled up .

Many families in the village have dogs, and I still agree with the second uncle's opinion, but it is also possible to steal things and even steal dogs and poison dogs, so it is hard to guard against.

The village chief listened to everyone's discussion and controlled the topic: "It is possible to raise a few more dogs, do you have any other ideas?"

"Surveillance cameras and alarms can be installed in the ground." A young man spoke enthusiastically.

"We don't know how to do this." An elderly villager frowned and said, the camera alarm sounded like a technological product, and it was really embarrassing for them to use the old machine.

Finally, the village chief looked at Qu Chi and asked, "Qu Chi, what do you think?"

Qu Chi stood up and said loudly: "The method of anti-theft is nothing more than human defense and material defense. Civil defense is to be guarded by people. This is expensive and hard. The physical defense can either use animals, dogs and geese, or add anti-theft facilities. For example, install a security wall."

"Security wall? You mean to enclose the village? That would cost a lot." Hearing Qu Chi's last proposal, many villagers shook their heads without even thinking about it.

Facing the villagers who were shaking their heads repeatedly, Qu Chi raised his voice and said his plan: "Everyone knows that my field was almost harmed last night. I was so worried that I didn't sleep well all night after I found out."

Qin Shi, who was standing under the stage, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but Qu Chi secretly gave him a glare.

Qu Chi continued: "In order to prevent this from happening again, no matter what the villagers plan, the land I contracted is going to be completely fenced. How to fence it depends on the results of everyone's discussion today. If the village also plans to fence Get up, I paid for the piece I contracted."

Backed by Shuangtuo Mountain, if Qu Chi wanted to fence the land, he would need to fence it on three sides, but this would separate the farm from the village.If the village also wants to build a wall, then the whole village is still a whole, and the farm stays inside.

After saying this, the villagers who directly opposed it just thought about it carefully, and the accountant in the village even carefully calculated the possible expenses.

The final calculated amount of money was less than what the villagers thought, but it was still an unacceptable amount for them.They are used to saving more money for emergencies, and they dare not even invest, let alone spend money to build this fence that is only used to prevent thieves.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Qu Chi didn't intend to force it, and didn't say anything else.

The village chief understood the villagers' thoughts, but felt somewhat regretful.If there are no other ideas from the villagers, let everyone raise some dogs, and it is best to install a camera in front of the house. The village is not what it used to be.

The meeting ended anticlimactically, and the villagers walked out one by one, just in time to meet Qiao Yang who had just returned from the town.

Qiao Yang went to the police station to make a record last night, because it was too late, he slept at home in the town all night, and visited his parents by the way.

After sleeping late and having breakfast, I found that it was not the taste I was used to, so I took the bus to Huixishan Village.Get off the car at the entrance of the village and walk slowly, just in time to run into the crowd leaving, surrounded by groups and ask the police to deal with the result.

Of course, the result was not as vented as the villagers wanted. Even if the evidence was convincing, it was only a matter of being locked up for a few days, which made people feel aggrieved and helpless.

Now thinking about the fact that there was no result after the discussion, the villagers were in a bad mood.

Qiao Yang managed to squeeze out of the crowd, and when he saw Qu Chi and Qin Shi, he moved over to him, and Er Zhang asked in confusion, "Boss, what happened, why are you all gathered together?"

"Thank you for your hard work this time." Qu Chi patted Qiao Yang on the shoulder, but did not answer his question.

Going forward along the road, the villagers all went home. When the last few houses were reached, Qu Chi went over to invite these villagers to have lunch.

The villagers who came to help in the accident last night were all from the few families that were relatively close to the farm.After listening to Qu Chi's invitation, the villagers postponed several times, and finally walked towards Xishan Farm cheerfully.

"Boss, boss, what are we going to have for lunch?" Qiao Yang asked curiously, before he knew what to eat, his saliva was about to come out.

"hot pot."

Qu Chi was thinking in the morning, there are a lot of people helping, if cooking is a bit troublesome, it's better to come to hot pot to eat happily and conveniently.

Before getting close to Qu Chi's house, walking on the ridge of the farmland, you can smell the strong fragrance wafting over, which makes people quicken their pace.

After waking up in the morning, Qu Chi first bought some pork bones from the second cousin, and slaughtered a hen to make thick soup, which he cooked slowly during the meeting.

After the guests sat down at two tables according to each other's tastes, Qu Chi entered the kitchen to prepare the bottom of the pot.Since he wanted to invite people to dinner, Qu Chi had to prepare two flavors in consideration of people who can eat spicy food and those who can’t.

Last year, I bought half a head of cow from the village, boiled it to pure butter and kept some in the refrigerator, which is most suitable for spicy taste.Turning around, I saw wild mushrooms drying in the yard, so Qu Chi prepared the mushroom flavor again.

The guests could not stop salivating when they smelled the aroma coming from the room. The spicy butter hot pot tasted overbearing, and the light mushroom pot had a long taste, all of which were first-class delicacies.

The tumbling hot pot was placed on the table, and plates of side dishes were served one by one.

There are no hot pot meatballs that are common in supermarkets, only fresh pork slices, chicken slices, cleaned chicken offal, bacon and sausages made for the Chinese New Year, and fish balls made two days ago.

Qu Chi also bought back the pig blood, pig brains and trotters that Erbo's family slaughtered in the early morning. They were all cleaned and treated just right.

The most delicious thing in spring is the seasonal vegetables, the fresh bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest, and the most tender parts are cut into long strips.Cabbage, lettuce, lettuce, etc. were all washed clean, with crystal clear water droplets and tender pea sprouts on them.

There are also several kinds of soy products. After the spring of this year, a family in the village opened a new tofu shop. Qu Chi had already frozen frozen tofu. A few days ago, I made tofu balls and put them in the refrigerator. Today I bought fresh water tofu and tofu skin .

So many people eating hot pot together don’t pay much attention to it, save the oil-absorbing vegetables for the last, put in the rest, and wait patiently for the ingredients to be cooked.

The advantage of making hot pot is that you don't have to be busy in the kitchen, and you can eat together after you have prepared the base ingredients. Qu Chi and Qin Shi sat at the same table with three employees. The five of them were special, and they ate like a mandarin duck pot.

The pig blood has been processed many times and coagulated into lumps, cut into slices and rolled in the pot. The taste of the pig blood will get old after cooking for a long time, so it was scooped into the bowl with a spoon not long after it was poured.Cracks appear when you hold it with chopsticks, put it in your mouth quickly before it breaks, it is smooth and tender, very delicious.

The fresh and tender bamboo shoots are extremely pleasing green and white, and they are even more attractive after being boiled in a butter pan with a little bit of red oil.When you move your teeth in your mouth, you can taste the crisp texture. Two bites have the spicy soup base and the sweetness of bamboo shoots.

Tofu can also be cooked very quickly. Qu Chi’s favorite is frozen tofu. Unlike fresh tofu, the red oil stays on the surface. The honeycomb-shaped frozen tofu on the surface absorbs the soup into it. Be careful not to burn your mouth when eating. Full of flavor.

At the beginning, everyone still ate their own food, and occasionally drank a couple of sips of the rice wine that Quchi brought out, and finally they were happy after eating, and wanted to taste the taste of another pot.

If you want to eat spicy food, try the light mushroom pot, so that the fully stimulated tongue and stomach can be relieved.If you can't take spicy food, try the spicy hot pot for a more stimulating taste.Eating happily, drinking two sips of low-alcohol rice wine, and enjoying the gentle breeze blowing by is simply an incomparable enjoyment, which can make people forget all their troubles.
