Super Farmer

Chapter 18 Guarding Baoshan and Begging for Food

Xu Yuan rushed over excitedly, patted Su Xu on the shoulder hard, and said, "Brother Su, fat brother, thank you so much this time, you've helped a lot!"

"Don't say that, I can't help you."

Su Xu quickly waved his hands, not wanting to take credit, and glanced past Xu Yuan's briefcase, and said, "When brother Zhou recovers from his injury and is able to leave, you should leave quickly. If you have any grievances, don't get involved in our village." .”

Xu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, your courage is gone, men can't be so cowardly."

"It's called being careful, not being cowardly."

Su Xu didn't admit that he was cowardly, and said bluntly: "On the day I picked Brother Zhou, I met a few poachers who dared to shoot me with a double-barreled shotgun. If they were with the person who killed Brother Zhou Yes, I fear reprisals."

After saying this, Xu Yuan decisively changed the subject.

"Is the tree you dug in your back basket? Hey, this is not a fish scale tree. Its leaves are tender in spring, emerald in summer, dark green in autumn, and purple in winter. There is a folk saying that 'a thousand-year-long tree has different colors in four seasons', It is the best product in bonsai."

"Tsk, I can't tell, fat brother, you are quite elegant, and you know bonsai?" Su Xu joked.

"Speaking as if Fat Brother is some kind of rough guy."

Xu Yuan wiped the muddy water on his forehead with his muddy hands, and said: "Fat brother also knows that Hua Youwu's Ode to Boxwood in the Yuan Dynasty wrote: Boxwood trees are close by, with thousands of whirling branches, deep leaves and emeralds, The root is far away from the horned dragon in ancient times. The years have a long history of wind and frost, and sometimes the rain and dew are thick. It should not be in the middle of the catastrophe, and the quality is stronger than the cold pine."

"My fat brother is all-rounder, I admire it!" Su Xu said, giving a thumbs up.

"You still have some sharp eyesight, kid." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

After speaking, the two laughed together.

On the way down the mountain, Su Xu made a detour and entered a forest.On some dead trees and tree stumps, he saw clumps of black fungus, and he picked them all. It didn't take long to fill up the basket, so he had to stop regretfully.

Xu Yuan is from the city, looking at the novelty: "There are so many black fungus growing on this dead tree! By the way, it seems that fresh fungus is poisonous. People eat fresh fungus, and when exposed to sunlight, plant growth will occur." Solar dermatitis, causing skin itching, redness, itching, rash..."

"Then I made cold fungus later, don't eat it."

Su Xu thought he was noisy, so he said something, but did not say that the fresh fungus must be dried before eating.

He came to this forest not only to pick black fungus for home cooking, but also to see the feasibility of building a greenhouse in this forest to grow black fungus.

Dried fungus is easy to store and transport, and the wholesale price in the city is not low, as long as the quality of the fungus is good...with rejuvenation, it can't be bad!

"The people in our village are really guarding Baoshan and begging for food!"

Su Xu sighed.

Xu Yuan also said at the right time: "Yanshan is really rich in resources, and the scenery is also very beautiful. If the transportation is convenient and it is a tourist area, there must be a lot of tourists."

"Forget about the tourist areas, it's unrealistic, I just hope that I can sell some special agricultural and sideline products, first take off the hat of the poor village in our village."

As Su Xu said, he pushed aside the bushes next to him and walked in.

There were several wild pepper trees in the bushes. Su Xu chose a pepper tree more than half a meter high, dug it up and down with a shovel, and planned to transplant it to his vegetable field.

Xu Yuan leaned over and asked, "Hey, you can just pick the peppercorns, why do you have to dig them by the roots?"

"Oh, I'm going to make a pepper tree bonsai and see if I can sell it." Su Xu fooled around, so he didn't say that he was going to see if the peppercorns transplanted to his own vegetable field would improve the quality of the peppercorns?
In other words, he wanted to know whether using the rejuvenation technique would permanently change the soil quality of his vegetable field, or if it would only have an effect within a certain period of time.

When he got home, he planted the pepper tree and the fish scale trees in the northwest corner of his vegetable field.

At this time, I heard the mother in the yard yelling: "This damn child is really doing things like a hammer here and there. So many lettuces were chopped off, and they were not given to his cousin. They were all put at home. I can't finish it!"

Hearing his mother's complaint, Su Xu didn't say a word.

The reason why he chopped off all the lettuces in the dish was because he was afraid that the lettuces would continue to grow rapidly and grow too tall, which could not be explained at that time.

It was also his mother's carelessness, and he didn't realize that the lettuce chopped by Su Xu was several times thicker and taller than the previous two days.

"Cough cough cough...forget it, he is not suitable for doing farm work. Once the two are snatched, let him go back to the city."

Su Dashan's voice came from the room.

Su Xu thought, his father was probably rejoicing that he is not a material capable of doing farm work, so he can only go back to the city in despair to find a job after the double snatching, right?

My mother obviously thought the same way, and her anger disappeared immediately, and she said: "That's right, anyway, he won't be in trouble for a few days at home, forget it, wait until tomorrow, I will find time to shred the lettuce and dry it in the sun. It won't waste too much."

Su Xu: "..." He can dry shredded lettuce, why scold him first?
However, before Feng Yuling could find time to shred the lettuce, her natal nephew, Feng Lizhang and his wife, drove a vegetable-pulling tricycle around nine o'clock in the evening.

On the tricycle, there were baskets and sacks that Su Xu forgot to bring back when delivering food.

"Why are you two here so late at night? It's your grandma..."

When Feng Yuling saw her nephew and his wife running over at night, her heart skipped a beat and she had bad guesses.

Feng Lizhang, who was wearing a police uniform, hurriedly said, "Guy, what are you thinking! It's Xu Mei who has something to ask for your help."

Xu Mei, who was sitting in the carriage, also jumped down, came forward to put Feng Yuling's arm affectionately and said, "Gu, I want to see your vegetable field."

After saying this, Feng Yuling was dumbfounded.

Xu Mei's parents both ate public meals in the town. Her attitude towards her husband's relatives in the countryside was generally polite and indifferent. She had never been so affectionate to Feng Yuling, a country aunt. It really made Feng Yuling feel so affectionate when she came out suddenly. Some are flattered.

Feng Yuling was half a beat behind before she said: "You ignorant person, what did you come to our village from the town to see? I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

Su Xu sighed silently, alas, the batch of dishes he sent tasted so good that Xu Mei found it unusual.

"Mom, you heard me right, my sister-in-law is here to see our vegetable field."

He quickly took over the conversation, and said: "My sister-in-law is kind-hearted. Seeing that our house is leaking and it rains all night, and the vegetables grown in my house are not bad, she wants to help us. As long as the vegetable field is big enough, let our house Serve food from her restaurant."

These words are not so much for fooling his mother, but for Xu Yuan and Zhou Qigang, lest they notice his vegetable field and become suspicious

However, his careful thinking was doomed to fail.
