Joe's Farming

Ling Lie chuckled and said, "Boss, I was wrong. I'll pay for it! I'll pay for it!"

Before Qiao Yu could speak, Li Xin spoke first: "What do you mean by husband of the boss? My brother is also your boss, just like Second Brother Gu."

Qiao Yu didn't think it mattered, it was all the same anyway, but when he thought of his little chicken, he still felt that he had to punish him.

"Forget about the compensation. However, the villa is not particularly busy during this period, and I haven't tested your cooking skills yet. Take this opportunity to raise chickens and ducks.

I wanted to raise geese before, but I was afraid that they were too fierce. Aren't you the third in command? You must have some force on you.

Da Zhuang, remember to collect some geese this afternoon. If not enough, buy some breeding eggs to incubate first."

Da Zhuang immediately said, "Okay, Boss. How many do you want?"

"Let's raise twenty first. Then add five more after half a month, and we can increase the number slowly this way."

"it is good!"

Qiao Yu thought that when winter came, the consumption of the geese would definitely increase, so it would be better to start raising them now.

This is not feed-raising, the animals can be marketed in three months.

It needs to be raised for at least half a year before it can be eaten.

Of course, ducklings can be eaten at three months old, but geese and chickens still need to be raised for a while longer, and their family also needs eggs very much.

So some of them have to be left behind to lay eggs.

Gu Gang is in charge of the farm, and he is just the right person to manage it.

However, the position of this chef...

Qiao Yu: "Do you like cooking?"

Ling Lie nodded: "I like it! What I cook is delicious! In the past..."

Ling Lie originally wanted to say that the brothers in the village all thought that his cooking was delicious, but when he thought about how those people were not considered good people to ordinary people, he did not say it out loud.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay, forget about lunch, it's almost out of the pot. We'll be waiting to eat your dinner."

Ling Lie patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

At this time, Milk and Bread shouted, it turned out that Gu Feng and Gu Gang had returned.

As soon as the carriage turned a corner on the mountain road, they saw Qiao Yu and Ling Lie chatting happily in the yard.

Gu Gang smiled and said, "This boy is quite popular with my brother-in-law."

Gu Feng glanced at him and said, "Qiao'er won't like him."

"Hahahahaha, I was wrong. But, aren't you afraid of leaving such a person at home?"

Gu Feng glanced at the carriage behind him and said, "Looking at the village chief and Qiao Er, I think this kid has good character."

Gu Feng was invited by Ling Lie to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms in the cave, and it tasted really good.

Moreover, Gu Feng had seen many people on the battlefield, and he intuitively felt that Ling Lie was not a wicked person, but rather had a bit of chivalry.

This is also the reason why he did not choose to report to the police, but instead asked the village chief to come to his house to discuss the matter.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, Qiao Yu came to greet it.

The village chief scolded: "If you are not feeling well, just stay in the yard. Why did you come out to greet him?"

Gu Gang: "Village Chief, my brother's husband is not here to welcome you."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the village chief also laughed: "Okay, it's just my wishful thinking."

Qiao Yu hurriedly said, "Welcome everyone, welcome everyone. The village chief has arrived just in time, and lunch has just been cooked. Let's discuss while we eat."

Ling Lie was also taken to the villa by Da Zhuang and others for dinner.

The village chief looked at the food at Qiao Yu's house and sighed, "This is as good as the food I eat during the Chinese New Year."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "If the village chief doesn't mind, you can come and eat here every day."

The village chief hurriedly shook his head: "No, no. The mother of the child will beat me to death, and my family is not poor."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Gu Feng: "My elder brother and I told the village chief about the bandits, and he suggested that we form a patrol team."

Qiao Yu nodded: "Of course, we couldn't form a group before because everyone thought the bandits were far away from us.

But you see, now the top three bandit leaders can escape and come here.

Our villa is so big that by then the news will definitely reach their ears and they will be able to find us easily.

By then, not only our family but also the whole village will suffer.”

Village chief: "Yes, this can't be your family's business. Bandits don't care whether it's yours or mine when they rob, and they kill people. In order to survive, I have to set up this patrol team. It's just this money..."

Qiao Yu: "Our family can pay the lion's share of the money, but the villagers have to contribute money and effort. Otherwise, Brother Gu and I can just take the money to the pawnbroker to buy someone, what do you think, Village Chief?"

Qiao Yu thought that the villagers with money would contribute money, and those without money would contribute labor. His family couldn't take care of everything, because then the patrol team would belong to his family instead of the whole village, and it would be difficult to develop sustainably in the future.

The village chief nodded: "That's right, I'll go to the village entrance later and call everyone over. What are you going to do with that man?"

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "That person seems to be a good person, but I don't really believe what he said, so I want to stay and observe for a few more days before deciding whether to report it to the police.

He fled to the mountains at the beginning of spring and never came out to hurt anyone, only to steal some food.

I plan to let him work to pay off the debt. What does the village chief think? "

Village chief: "I'll go check on him later. If he's a good person, I can turn a blind eye."

Qiao Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Village Chief, there are several men watching him in the villa."

Gu Feng interrupted at this time: "Qiao'er, village chief. Stop talking and eat quickly."

The village chief took a piece of meat with his chopsticks and said, "Oh, this meat smells so good, what good stuff is in it?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "I'll fill a can for you later. When you go back to use it, make sure the chopsticks are clean. The longer it is stored, the stronger the flavor will be."

The village chief took another piece and tasted it carefully.

"Okay, okay, Qiao is really capable. Is this thing expensive? I can't just take your things for nothing."

Qiao Yu said embarrassedly: "It's... okay. It's just that there is a shortage of peppers and rapeseed oil now, so the cost is a bit high. In the future, the village chief will persuade everyone to plant more broad beans and peppers, and more rapeseed for oil, and then the money will be earned back."

The village chief glanced at Gu Feng and said, "Look how smart your husband is. He's got the villagers to drink the soup too."

Gu Feng was proud, but he didn't show it on his face. He said modestly: "Yes, Qiao Er is much smarter than me."

"Oh, right, Brother Qiao. Summer is here. What should we do with the fish in our rice fields? The village canals used to be dry for a day or two in the summer. It was fine before, but this year we are raising fish in them."

This was the first time Qiao Yu knew about this.

"Ah? That won't work. There has to be enough water in the canal."

There is no big river in Shangtian Village. There are only three small streams that are slightly larger than ditches flowing down from the mountains. The canals in the village use the water from the streams.

People in the village fetch water from the well at the entrance of the village, or from the source of one of the canals, where a pool has been dug to store water, which is quite clean every day.

The village chief frowned, summer is coming.

Li Xin at the side suddenly said: "We can go to other places to find water sources, and then divert the water there. If it doesn't work, we can build a dam at the source of the canal to store water when there is a lot of water, and release it when there is less water."

Village chief: "Oh! That makes sense. I'll ask someone to take a look tomorrow."
