Farming from the end of the world

The roast chicken shop opened smoothly.In addition to selling it online, occasionally villagers who are attracted by the fragrance will come to buy one and take it home for a tooth-beating sacrifice. Qiao Zhou's craftsmanship is undeniable, but everyone who buys it praises it for its delicious taste.

In addition to roast chicken, Qiao Zhou has also developed some vegetarian dishes such as lo-mei, tofu skin, edamame, kelp, lotus root and so on.

Speaking of lotus root, it happened that the lotus leaves in the lotus pond where Chen Guo and Chen Cheng collaborated had also withered, and it was time to harvest lotus root.Chen Chengren was very popular, so he quickly found a group of people to help. First, he used a large net to catch all the fish in the lotus pond and wholesale them to the fishmongers, and then drained most of the water. The lotus root was dug up in the fish pond.

Chen Guo had too many things to do, so she didn't go into the water to participate. He also trusted Chen Cheng, but after watching around for a while, he went to work on his own. Instead, he bought some lotus roots at a low price and took them to Qiao Zhou. It just so happened that no middleman made the difference.

After digging the lotus root for three or four days, and selling all the fish and lotus root, Chen Guo got a profit of tens of thousands of yuan.As the saying goes that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly, Chen Guo was not too polite, she flipped through it, and said after confirming that there was no problem: "As we said before, the lotus pond should be rebuilt. Right now, the lotus root is just free, so I think it's better to Just take advantage of this moment to trim the edges, and then build some corridors and pavilions on the water surface, so that it can attract more tourists next year."

Chen Cheng nodded again and again: "Next year I plan to get a few small boats, and renting them out will be a source of income." Chen Guo agreed with this, but added: "The safety measures on the boat must be ensured. Life jackets and swimming rings must be equipped to prevent people from falling into the water."

Chen Cheng nodded naturally, so Chen Cheng called a construction team to dig up the silt in the lotus pond for overall disinfection, and at the same time began to build corridors and pavilions on the water surface.Although they are already using relatively affordable materials, the cost of various labor costs, materials, and next year's seeds and fish fry will cost most of this year's income.

The days passed, the short autumn was over soon, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was winter.

It was cold last year, but it's getting colder this year.Not long after winter came, there were several heavy snowfalls. Chen Guo was worried that there would be problems with the chickens, so she had to go to the chicken coop many times a day to check. Fortunately, the newly built chicken coop was very strong and would not be crushed by the snow.

Although the chicken coop is fine, the weather is too cold, which has some impact on the chickens. They all hang their heads and huddle in the corner with their necks shrunk.Although I bought two small heaters last year, this year is much colder than last year, and the chicken coop has also been enlarged, so the heaters are not enough.

It would have been better to have provided a flue for the chicken coop back then, Chen Guo thought as she rubbed her frozen red hands.Right now, he can barely handle it, but if the weather gets colder, he plans to add some insulation to the chicken coop.There are also the chicks in the insulation room. If the weather is not good, he will not dare to transfer his chicks to the chicken coop. Fortunately, these half-grown chicks have never experienced severe cold, and their resistance is not strong enough. It's not plump enough, and it will definitely freeze to death.

After adding water to the chickens and chicks, he checked on the dogs again.The three dogs, Fa Cai, Bao Fu, and Yuan Bao, have already grown very big, their fur is very thick, and they are always warmed by the flue on weekdays, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Although I hoped that the weather would not get colder, there was another heavy snow that night, and the thickness of the snow even reached my knees when I went out the next day.Chen Guo got up early in the morning to check the chicken coop, and then decided to drive to the county town to buy two electric stoves.After the electric stove was installed in the chicken coop, the chickens that were huddled together immediately rushed forward and formed a circle in front of the two stoves.

After solving the problem of keeping the chickens warm, Chen Guo carefully checked the electrical circuits and the roof of the chicken coop to make sure nothing went wrong.

By the way, he also estimated the area of ​​the chicken coop, but finally shook his head helplessly.The business of the online store is unexpectedly good, and now it is the end of the year, and the order volume of the online store is getting bigger and bigger, and the chickens he sees are not enough.

But his chicken coop is only that big after all, even if it is full, it won't be able to supply it. If he builds another chicken coop, there won't be such a big open space in his forest, let alone he can't do it alone.

It seems that I have to discuss this matter with Qiao Zhou to see if we can find another purchase channel.That day, thinking that the busiest time had passed, he came to Qiao Zhou and told him his thoughts.After hearing this, Qiao Zhou thought for a moment, but said: "The most important thing about our roast chicken is the raw material. Your chicken is well-raised so it tastes very good. It's a bit difficult to find the same quality. I thought, why don't we Reduce the quantity on the shelves and deal with it first, and then look for new purchase channels after the new year, and I happen to be looking for two helpers, and now the business is getting better and better, and I really can’t do it alone.”

Chen Guo heard what he said, so she nodded, and planned to wait until the New Year passed before looking for a suitable chicken farm.

Time flies, and after several heavy snowfalls, New Year's Day is here.Although people in rural areas care more about the Spring Festival than the New Year in the Gregorian calendar, it is a festival after all, and Zhou Lu is on holiday again, so Chen Guo asked him to buy some mutton from the county, planning to invite Liang Lu, Qian Lin, Qiao Zhou and the others to have a warm meal at home mutton hot pot.

But none of those three came. Qiao Zhou gave himself a day off and went home to see the old man. Liang Lu and Qian Lin made an appointment to go shopping in the county. In the end, only Chen Guo and Zhou Lu sat warmly. in front of the hot pot.

Chen Guo didn't care too much, since Zhou Lu was responsible for eating anyway, he just had to eat with his mouth.

The mutton bone soup is stewed with thick white and fragrant. The thinly sliced ​​mutton is cooked casually in the pot. The fresh and tender mutton is dipped in sesame sauce and put in the mouth. It is delicious and delicious, which is completely different from the hot red oil hot pot.

"Looks like we also ate hot pot last year, right?" Chen Guo suddenly recalled the matter of discussing building a homestay with Qian Lin on the hot pot table last year.

"Time flies so fast." Counting it, it has been a year and a half since he came to this world.

He didn't need to suffer from hunger, wind and rain, and he didn't need to beware of dangerous zombies and survivors. He had lived a comfortable life that he couldn't even imagine before, and he had lived for a year and a half.

Even looking back on the cruel life of the previous life, there is a sense of unreality and illusion.

"I don't think the time is fast." Zhou Lu put all the boiled mutton into Chen Guo's bowl, as if there was something in his words, "I hope it will be faster."

"Understood." Chen Guo smiled and patted him on the shoulder while eating meat, "I feel that high school is too tiring, and I want to go to college soon, right? You brat, you don't even think about going to college, but you can't often Seeing your brother and me, I really have no conscience."

It was completely the opposite understanding, Zhou Lu was speechless for a while, and felt uncomfortable when he saw Chen Guo's playful smile, a rush of blood suddenly rushed to his forehead, he took a deep breath and was about to say something——

"Bang!" There was a loud noise from the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" The two looked at each other, put down their chopsticks and ran to the kitchen.

The kitchen was already in a mess. The beam above the old-fashioned stove was broken, and even the beams and tiles fell down, affecting half of the kitchen.

Zhou Lu took the lead to go in and looked up, then turned around and said, "The beam on the side is broken. This beam is not the same as the one in other houses. It's nothing serious."

"Why did it suddenly break?" Chen Guo was puzzled, "Did it collapse under the pressure of snow?"

Zhou Lv looked again and shook his head: "No, under this is a large stove for burning fire. It used to be smoky, and then the house was unoccupied for a long time. When it rained and snowed, it probably got damp again, and the wood rotted. That's when it broke. Fortunately, there is nothing here, let's move the refrigerator to the living room later, and find Uncle Zhao Quan to see if we can change a beam."

Chen Guo hesitated for a moment, and silently calculated her savings, but said, "There's no need to bother changing the beam, I think we can just change the room."
