Joe's Farming

When Wang Jie saw the banknote, he couldn't believe it.

"This is real?"

Brother Wen nodded: "Really, Brother Qiao just gave it to me."

Wang Jie knew that Qiao Yu and Gu Feng had earned a lot of money, but that was other people's money. Now these fifty taels plus the money saved by Wen Ge'er and the others, that was his money!

He and Wen Ge'er saved for half a year and only managed to save more than thirty taels, which was already the highest amount in their village.

Now they have more than eighty taels at once.

Wang Jie happily picked up Wen Ge'er and spun him around.

Wen Ge'er was so scared that he almost screamed and kept hitting him: "What... are you doing? Put me down!"

"Wen'er, you are really my God of Wealth! How come I am so lucky in this life to marry such a lucky star like you!"

After saying that, she hugged Wen Ge'er's face and kissed him.

"Are you tired? I'll bring the bathtub in. I've boiled the water for you. Take a good bath..."

Wang Jie couldn't continue speaking and kept glancing at Wen Ge'er.

Wen Ge'er knew what he meant, and said coquettishly, "Why don't you go quickly?"

They have been sleeping in the store all this time and haven't done that for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie said happily, "Oh", and went to prepare bath water for her husband.

The next day, Wen Ge'er failed to get up early. Fortunately, Qiao Yu told him the day before to give him a day off, otherwise he would have beaten Wang Jie to death for being so heartless.

The busy schedule lasted until the end of May. The three children did not go to school that day and went to the mountains with the other children in the village.

When he came back, the basket was full of wild berries. There were white ones that tasted like cream, and red and black ones that Qiao Yu thought looked like raspberries, but more fragrant.

Seeing that Qiao Yu liked to eat them, Gu Xiaoxue handed all the wild berries to him: "Little Daddy, this white bubble tastes good, right? We'll pick some for you next time. There's a lot of them on the mountain. But there are caterpillars on the branches of the red bubble, which scared me to death."

Gu Xiaoxue shuddered when she thought about how she almost reached out her hand to a red caterpillar when she was picking red bubbles.

"Pao'er?" Qiao Yu thought the name was interesting. As far as the original owner could remember, he had basically no time to go to the mountains to pick these delicious snacks when he was a child, so this was the first time Qiao Yu heard of it.

He held up the black wild berry: "So this is called black bubble?"

Gu Xiaoxue nodded: "Yes! Red bubbles, white bubbles, and black bubbles. Each one tastes different. White bubbles grow on the ground, while red and black bubbles grow on trees."

White bubble (pink-leaf yellow-haired strawberry)

Red Bubble

Black bubbles (similar to red bubbles)

Qiao Xing corrected: "It's not a tree, it's a branch with thorns."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's called a shrub."

Li Xin ate this kind of wild fruit for the first time and thought it tasted really good. Even though the children took half a day to pick them, they only picked three bowls. He thought he could finish them all by himself.

"Brother, let's go dig some and plant them. Select the best and breed them, and let the wild fruits run wild!"

Gu Feng heard this and said, "The white one is on the slope behind the villa. We can indeed dig up some of the other two and plant them, but the weather is hot now, so I don't know if they can survive."

Qiao Yu agreed, "Now the weather is getting hotter, let's wait until autumn is over before digging. I remember that these two shrubs have thorns, and they are just right to be transplanted to enclose the vegetable garden as a fence. I think the effect should be good."

Gu Feng's eyes lit up, and he said to Qiao Yu, "Qiao'er, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of that? I'll go dig when the weather is cooler."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Little Daddy, there are some beautiful little fruits on the mountain, but no one knows what they are, so they are not picked."

Qiao Yu patted his head and said, "Be good. It's right not to pick anything you don't know. It's just like mushrooms. Some beautiful fruits are poisonous."

The three children nodded in unison.

Qiao Yu felt uncomfortable when she thought about how it was inconvenient for her to go anywhere with her big belly.

Seeing her husband's eager look, Gu Feng said to him, "If Qiao'er wants to go, I'll take you to our mountain to pick them tomorrow."

Qiao Yu shook her head: "Forget it, walking is not a big deal, the main thing is that I grow on the ground and I'm too lazy to squat."

"Then Qiao'er, whatever you want to do, I'll take you there."

Qiao Yu thought about it. During this period, the family was busy making hot pot base, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, raising chickens and ducks, and reclaiming land for farming...

While this batch of products has not yet been sold, why not set up a Lingyun Market?

"Husband, please help me find the village chief and tell him that we are going to hold a market and ask everyone in the village to set up stalls in front of the villa.

Li Xin, go design a flyer for the market, and we'll go to town to distribute it tomorrow!"

Qiao Xing whispered, "Little Daddy, can my brother, sister and I set up a stall?"

Qiao Yu: "You can do it when you are not in school."

Qiao Xing said happily: "That's great, the principal said that June is too hot, so let us go home and rest for a month before going back to school."

Qiao Yu thought, how could this be possible?

But think about it, the weather is too hot and there are no fans in their school, so it would be bad if they got heatstroke.

"Will there be a holiday during the autumn harvest?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

Gu Xiaoxue raised her hand: "I know this, the principal said. We in Mingde will have holidays in June, September, December and the first month of the year."

"Wow, your principal is so nice. He gives us four months off every year."

Gu Xiaoyan: "I heard from Brother Tianyu that other schools will have holidays in March. Our school won't have holidays either."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Four months is already very good. I guess other people have a holiday in March because they are busy with spring farming, so students can go home to help."

Gu Xiaoyan suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand."

Most of Mingde's students are businessmen, so they don't need this spring ploughing holiday. The whole town will be very busy in September during the autumn harvest, so they have to take a break.

Li Xin was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a market.

He has almost finished writing his book, and he has nothing to do during this period of time. It would not be good to disturb Da Zhuang and the others every day.

"Brother, don't worry, I will think of some good advertising slogans for you. The kind that sound very cool as soon as they sound." Li Xin whispered to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Just keep it simple! Go and write it. When you're done, you can order dinner tonight."

Li Xin: "I want to eat pork belly!"

Qiao Yu asked curiously: "Ah? What is that?"

Li Xin was shocked that his brother didn't even know what Bazirou was!

"It's a kind of meat stewed with pork belly, eggs and green peppers. It's super delicious and goes well with rice."

Qiao Yu blinked: "Can you tell me the steps in detail? I have no idea what to do if you say that."

Li Xin told Qiao Yu the steps he still remembered.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Okay, you go and write first. I'll do the research."

There was still some pork in the cellar, so Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng to cut out a piece of beautiful pork belly. Plum meat is actually pork neck meat, which is named because of its alternating fat and lean parts, and its shape resembles a plum blossom when cut.
