Weird Farmhouse

The first meal of moving house starts with the booming hot pot.This is also Wu Tong's first time eating hot pot. Ever since he ate the porridge for the first time, he has no interest in human food. Food residues and having to go to the toilet is super troublesome, so I don’t eat if I can’t.

During this period of time, everyone has been busy repairing the house and has no time to eat hot pot. Today, they finally fulfilled their promise to take Wu Tong to eat hot pot.After drinking the wine, Da Xiong scalded a goose intestine and put it in Wu Tong's bowl: "Come on, shopkeeper, try this, it's crispy and tender."

Wu Tong showed an embarrassed smile, can you not let him eat this at the first bite?He took a sip of beer and found that the taste was not as refreshing as water, so he picked up the goose intestines and put it in his mouth. In an instant, he was filled with a spicy taste, and tears rushed to his eyes and nasal cavity involuntarily. Is it sour, sweet, bitter, spicy?

Seeing Wu Tong's reaction, Wang Hu said, "Big Bear, you should get a mandarin duck pot. The shopkeeper can't eat spicy food."

Da Xiong blinked innocently: "How can people in Sichuan eat mandarin duck pot? Mandarin duck pot doesn't have a soul."

Wu Tong just kept on doing nothing, stuffed the whole goose intestine into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed vigorously for a few times, at first it was a spicy and numbing taste, after chewing a few mouthfuls, he tasted it again. The sweet taste seems to be not bad.He opened his eyes and saw the other three people looking at him as if they had been acupunctured, and said, "It seems to be okay."

Big Bear laughed triumphantly: "Let me just say, it's absolutely delicious!"

Jin Chuan patted Wu Tong on the shoulder: "Congratulations, you have successfully joined the Sichuan hot pot army."

Wang Hu got up and poured a bowl of water in front of Wu Tong: "Don't be brave, if you can't stand it, rinse it before eating."

Wu Tong smiled at him: "Okay, thank you!"

Looking at his smile, Wang Hu turned his head and began to put vegetables into the pot as soon as his dark skin heated up: "Everyone eat quickly, you will get old if you boil it for a long time."

So Wu Tong began to accept a new round of spicy bombardment, which made his tears and nose fly, but he couldn't stop it.He finally experienced the reason why they love human food from this hot pot, not only because of the novelty and variety of taste, but also because of the excitement and intimacy of eating together.

After eating and drinking, Da Xiong rubbed his stomach and said, "This hot pot is really good. I haven't been so comfortable in so many years. I haven't eaten such a good hot pot since Kami left."

Jin Chuan also put a toothpick in his mouth, leaned on the chair, and said, "This is life. Great, our farmhouse has finally reopened!"

Wu Tong sat upright, cleared his throat and said, "From now on, the farmhouse music will be entrusted to everyone."

Da Xiong said: "Don't be so polite to the shopkeeper. The business of the farmhouse is our business. If there is anything we need to do, just ask us. Don't be polite to us."

Jin Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, we must work hard to help make money and redeem the pendant as soon as possible."

Wang Hu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Then let's discuss the next plan today. Our main business here was to receive tourists who came here to see giant pandas. Now that the giant panda base has moved, we come here specially to see them." There are also fewer tourists in Panda, so the business in this area will definitely decrease. My opinion is that we need to develop some special features here, so as to attract people to come and visit. After all, it is more than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu, and it is only two minutes by car. hours."

Big Bear said: "Brother Hu is right. There used to be a lot of flowers planted here, and many people came here to eat and see the flowers. Do you want to plant some more flowers?"

Jin Chuan shook his head: "It will be a big garden, and there won't be many people who can come to see it. Besides, the flowering period is limited, what should I do after the flowering period?"

Wu Tong asked: "What about selling flowers?"

Wang Hu turned his head and looked at him: "This idea is good, but selling flower seedlings will take at least half a year to grow. When the weather is hot, there will be fewer flower sellers. Besides, our place is remote. Besides supplying the flower market, we also open online shops." , but without publicity, it is difficult to open an online store.”

"We can also make a live broadcast or record a short video. With the shopkeeper's good looks, it should be able to attract many fans." Daxiong knows this best.

Jin Chuan said: "You can record videos, and you can also follow the path of Internet celebrities. But any Internet celebrity has to be popular for at least one or two years, and it is not certain whether it will be popular. We only have three years, so Internet celebrities can only be popular. A sideline business cannot be the main business.”

Wu Tong didn't know much about these things, so he said, "Then let's do planting and breeding first. This is easier to get results. As long as there is a market, it can be exchanged for money in a short time."

Wang Hu put out the cigarette: "The shopkeeper is right. At present, we can only grow vegetables and fruits, and raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. Leave the market to me and Jin Chuan."

Wu Tong said gratefully: "Thank you!" Fortunately, there are a few of them here, otherwise, even if he grows something, he won't be able to exchange it for money.

"Okay, work!" Da Xiong slapped the table and stood up, almost overturning the table. Jin Chuan and Wang Hu glared at him angrily. Only Wu Tong said, "Take it easy."

Daxiong smiled and cleaned up the dishes, suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Wang Hu: "Brother Hu, you can get some helpers to do the work."

Wang Hu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Aren't you lazy again? You don't have any tools, so wash it yourself."

Big Bear scratched his face, packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash.

"I'm going to dig the ground." Wu Tong got up and took a hoe from the tool room. It's almost April now, and it's time to sow seeds quickly. He got up and walked out the door.

Wang Hu and Jin Chuan also came out, Jin Chuan said: "There are too many weeds, let's light a fire, and it can be used as fertilizer."

"You can't burn it. This is a nature reserve. Leave it to me." Wang Hu said as he walked out the door until he reached the grass near the foot of the mountain and said, "Come out!"

Wu Tong turned to look at him in surprise, what is Wang Hu doing?

After a while, a shivering gray rabbit came out and crawled to Wang Hu's feet tremblingly. Wang Hu bent down and lifted the rabbit: "Since you live in my territory, you have to listen to me. Aren't you Do you like to eat grass? Go and call all your companions over, I'll eat all the grass in this area, do you hear me? If you don't listen, I'll eat you all!"

The rabbit's lower abdomen was dripping water, Wang Hu threw it on the ground in disgust, it took a while to react, and then ran away.

Wu Tong couldn't help but smile, does this count as bullying the weak?

Jin Chuan said: "Even if there are rabbits to help weed, you still have to call a tractor to turn the field, otherwise there is no way to plant it."

"Of course, let the rabbit weed first today. You can find a tractor and have someone come over to help plow the land." Wang Hu said.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Jin Chuan said as he pushed Daxiong's electric car.

Wu Tong picked up a hoe and prepared to dig the ground, Wang Hu said: "Shopkeeper, do you want to make a plan to see how to plant it?"

Wu Tong said: "I've already figured out how to plant." These days, while he was building a house, he was silently planning in his mind, and he knew which land to plant and what to plant.

Wang Hu caught a glimpse of more than a dozen gray rabbits running down the hillside, and said to Wu Tong: "The helpers are here, so we don't want to disturb their work. Today we're going to the town to buy some chickens and ducklings. Anyway, we will buy them in the future. "

When Wu Tong heard it, he felt very reasonable: "Okay."

They entered the house and said hello to the big bear. When they came out, they saw that the field was densely packed with rabbits, gray and black, and a few white ones mixed in. They were all gnawing on the grass. It was a spectacular scene.

Wang Hu specially ran to tell them to line up and work hard, and called the little flower dog by the way: "Little cat, I will leave these rabbits to you, and bite them if they are lazy and don't work!"

The kitten barked at Wang Hu. It was obviously a native dog, and it looked like it was about to be trained as a shepherd dog.

The electric car was taken away by Jin Chuan, and they walked to the town.Wang Hu said: "It's inconvenient not to have a car. I have to buy a car."

Wu Tong smiled wryly: "I have no money." A car costs tens of thousands at least, and the money on hand may not be enough to buy seedlings.

Wang Hu pointed to an electric tricycle on the road and said, "Just buy one like that first, so it's easier to get the goods. Otherwise, we won't be able to get back the chickens and ducks we bought."

"How much does that car cost?"

"It shouldn't be expensive, maybe a few thousand dollars." Wang Hu said, "Go and ask."

Wu Tong thought about it, and if it costs a few thousand yuan, it is still affordable, so go ahead and buy it. There will be a lot of things to move in and out in the future, so you can't call a car every time: "Then go ahead and buy it."

As the two walked and chatted, Wu Tong asked what he had been wondering all along: "I actually don't understand why we hold a farmhouse here. Is there anything special about Wolong Town?" Apart from being remote, it is still remote.

Wang Hu turned his head to look at Wu Tong, and said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. It's just that we negotiated with humans to come to such a territory, which is not controlled by human governments."

"Then are there many demons here?" Wu Tong asked.

"Not much. You have practiced for longer than us. You should know that the aura is getting thinner and thinner. The current world is not suitable for cultivation. In addition, the number of human beings has increased rapidly, and the range of activities is expanding. Animals and plants want to It is very difficult to cultivate to become a master." Wang Hu said.

"Yes. But the aura here is quite strong, more abundant than other places."

"That's why the Supernatural Administration has set up a site here. Our original purpose here is to provide a transition station for those demons who have just become spirits. On the one hand, they can consolidate their cultivation, and on the other hand, they can learn to adapt to human society. But after so many years, it seems that you are the only one here." Wang Hu said.

Wu Tong was very surprised: "But I was punished here for violating human laws." Why doesn't it sound like grounding, but being treated preferentially.

Wang Hu laughed: "Actually, they are almost the same. What you committed is not a problem in our spiritual world. However, human beings are different from us. They are too fragile and will break when touched, so their laws are more We are much stricter. And it is strictly forbidden for goblins to harm humans, and you just happened to violate this big taboo, so you were punished. You see, the rest of us don’t have this requirement.”

Wu Tong suddenly realized: "Are you all transitioning here? Haven't you finished the transition yet?"

Wang Hu said vaguely: "It's sort of. The main reason is that we can't adapt to city life, so we like to stay in this small place and feel more comfortable."

While talking, they had arrived in the town. Although Wang Hu was not as familiar with the town as Da Xiong, his social experience was obviously much better than Da Xiong's. He handed an old man a cigarette, and the other party told him where the livestock market was .Today is a big market, and it is spring again. There are many farmers who come to buy seedlings, and there are also many sellers. Chicken, duck, goose seedlings, fish fry, piglets, lambs, calves, rabbits, etc. can be seen everywhere. Puppies and cats, the sounds of various animals in the market came and went, and it was very lively.

Both Wu Tong and Wang Hu consciously restrained their coercion so as not to disturb the order of the market.

Wu Tong was dazzled, and asked Wang Hu in a daze, "What to buy?"

Wang Hu said, "Ask the price first."

So they went to the stalls to inquire about it. If you don’t ask, you don’t know. If you ask, you’re shocked. Chicken and duck are the cheapest, two yuan and five each, and goose seedlings are ten yuan each, while pigs, cattle and sheep are ridiculously expensive, and lambs are the cheapest. At least 1000 yuan, piglets at least [-] to [-] yuan, and calves need more than [-] yuan.

After asking, Wu Tong and Wang Hu were silent.After a while, Wang Hu said: "Why don't you raise chickens, ducks, and geese? They grow fast and can be grown in a few months. Besides, native chickens and ducks are very popular with humans. As long as they are good, there is quite a market." of."

Wu Tong asked: "What do they eat? How much does it cost?"

Wang Hu said: "Wait for me." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and started Baidu. Not to mention, there is a calculation method for the cost of raising chickens on Baidu. He roughly estimated that the profit of slaughtering a chicken in half a year is about 20 yuan. , Raising a thousand chickens can earn 2 yuan.

Wu Tong did some calculations: "Then you need to raise 20 chickens to earn 30." The interest of the pawn shop is almost [-] a year. They have to earn [-] million a year to barely cover their expenses. I can't help but feel that The pressure is huge, and it is really hard to earn money.

"You don't need to raise so many. If you raise one thousand a batch, and raise two batches a year, you will have a net profit of 4 yuan. If you raise another two thousand ducks, you will have a total of 10,000 yuan. You can also raise some rabbits and grow a la carte. And fruits, earn [-]+ in the first year, and when the fruit trees bear fruit next year, the income will be more." Wang Hu is very optimistic.

Wu Tong said: "What about the pigs and sheep? Just put them on the mountain directly, and find grass and wild fruits to eat, so we don't need to spend a lot of additional feeding costs."

Wang Hu continued on Baidu's cost of raising pigs, saying: "A pig can earn more than 1000, and we can also raise a little. The key is how much money do you have left?"

Wu Tong said: "There are only more than 3 left."

Wang Hu said: "Then let's buy [-] chickens and ducks each, [-] or [-] pigs and [-] sheep each, and use the rest of the money to buy feed?"

Wu Tong suddenly remembered: "Didn't you say you still need to buy a tricycle?"

"I'll buy the tricycle. You don't need to pay for it. I'll call Jin Chuan and ask him to come over and bargain." Wang Hu dialed Jin Chuan's number and called him to the livestock market.

It didn't take long for Jin Chuan to ride over, and after listening to the two people's plans, he said, "Okay, leave the bargaining to me."

With Jin Chuan's efforts, he successfully lowered the price of chickens and ducklings to two yuan a piece. He bought two hundred chickens and ducklings first, and sent the rest to the hatchery after they hatched; he bought three more broods. 22 fragrant piglets, each priced at 450 yuan. This kind of pig is relatively wild and suitable for stocking, which is just suitable for their environment here; The six mothers spent a total of 1000 yuan.

Wu Tong's wallet was more than half deflated, and the rest was only enough to buy feed. If he wanted to spend money in the future, he had to wait until he made money.Wu Tong suddenly felt a little stressed, when will he be able to learn the piano.
