Joe's Farming

Gu Feng didn't have the habit of taking a nap, he just stayed with his husband out of habit and fanned him or something.

When Qiao Yu woke up, she saw Gu Feng holding a book and trying hard to recognize words.

"Are you awake? Are you thirsty?" Gu Feng asked him.

Qiao Yu nodded, and Gu Feng got off the bed to pour him some water. Qiao Yu took a sip and asked in surprise, "Ice?"

Gu Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, and seeing that his husband liked it, he said happily: "I added some ice stored in the cellar, thinking that you would like it."

Qiao Yu felt sweet inside: "I like it."

Then he felt that just saying this was not enough, so he added, "Thank you, dear."

Gu Feng's face turned red for a rare moment. After being with Qiao Yu for such a long time, he seldom blushed like that.

"Dear" and the like were too intimate for an ancient man like him, but what could he do? He liked it so much.

"Dear, is this a name that belongs only to me?" Gu Feng asked.

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that there were several little ones at home who could be called dear.

"Well, of course. You are my only dear. I also have nicer names for you, do you want them?" Qiao Yu winked at him.

Gu Feng's heart was almost melted by his young husband. He licked his lips and asked, "What?"

Qiao Yu said softly, "My dear husband... well."

Gu Feng sealed the deal with a kiss. How could this guy be so good at teasing?

When Qiao Yu appeared at the market again, there was nothing unusual except that her lips were a little swollen.

In the afternoon, Gu Feng asked Gu Gang to go to the mountain to hunt rabbits because Qiao Yu said she wanted to eat cold rabbit.

Recently, my family has fallen in love with all kinds of cold dishes. Qiao Yu even thought about setting up a cold dish stall, but then he thought that there were too many stalls at home, so he gave up.

The three little ones, oh no, the four little ones were selling fried potatoes in an orderly manner. There were more people coming to the market from the town in the afternoon than in the morning, so the stall was doing good business.

Qiao Yu then went to see how sales at her stall were going without any worries.

"Boss, are you getting irritated? Your mouth is red and swollen." Da Zhuang asked loudly when he saw Qiao Yu.

Xiao Bai nudged him speechlessly with his elbow and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qiao Yu could only smile and say, "Well... it seems a little. Are you not selling fried skewers anymore?"

Da Zhuang said proudly: "It's sold out! I'll go catch some cicadas and crickets tonight."

Qiao Yu had originally given Xiaobai and Dazhuang a holiday so that they could set up their stalls, and he asked their subordinates to help sell the preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.

Now that they had finished their work, they came over to help sell the preserved eggs.

"Why didn't you catch him earlier? We don't need two of you here." Qiao Yu urged people to get off work quickly.

When he was a corporate slave, he hated working overtime during his holidays.

Xiao Bai explained: "Cicadas are especially easy to catch at night. Just hold a lantern and wait under a tree."

Da Zhuang quickly added: "Right! Just shake the tree trunk, and the timid cicadas will try to get into the lanterns."

Qiao Yu suddenly realized that this is the phototaxis of insects!

I didn’t expect Xiaobai and Dazhuang to be so smart!

"It's amazing that you can think of this idea." Qiao Yu praised.

Da Zhuang said proudly: "Hey, Xiao Bai is really smart!"

Xiao Bai felt a little embarrassed by Da Zhuang's praise, and waved his hands hastily: "I just discovered by accident that cicadas like to go to bright places, it's just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse."

"That's smart too. However, your fried skewers are selling well today, and I guess other people will follow suit tomorrow. You'd better think about whether you can make it a little more special." Qiao Yu reminded kindly.

It is summer now and there are a lot of cicadas. The children in the village are good at catching cicadas.

It’s just that people don’t know that they can make money from it.

Xiaobai and Dazhuang's business was very good today, which attracted many villagers to see.

Cicadas and crickets are relatively easy to catch, except that bamboo worms are less numerous.

Da Zhuang scratched his head and looked at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai comforted him, "It's okay, we'll make two more flavors tomorrow, and the price won't change."

Xiaobai thought that he would add a little salt today so that the food would taste original. Tomorrow he would add more seasonings, such as spring onions and coriander. He also thought that he would add a spicy flavor and use the soybean paste from his boss. He believed that it would be better than other places.

Da Zhuang nodded vigorously: "Hey!"

Qiao Yu continued, "I've observed that most of the people who eat your fried skewers are from the town, and they don't lack money. Tomorrow, the original flavor will be priced the same as today, and the other flavors will be five cents a string, and two strings will be eight cents. You can also wash some basil leaves and teach the customers to wrap them in the basil leaves before eating. I think the taste is delicious just by imagining it."

Xiaobai: “Is it really possible?”

"You believe me."

Xiao Bai nodded quickly: "I will definitely believe you, Boss. Thank you, Boss."

Qiao Yu waved and continued to inspect other stalls. In addition to his own stall, several other villagers were doing good business, especially those who were clever.

Like the embroidery made by Wen Ge’er’s mother, they are all small things, beautiful and cheap.

There is also a shop selling lucky knots, which can also weave bracelets for customers on the spot, which is very popular among young people. Not only people in the town buy them, but people from other villages also buy them.

Bamboo and straw products are also very popular. They are practical and much cheaper than those in town.

When Qiao Yu came to the sour plum drink stall, she couldn't help but buy another cup and gave some to the children as well.

The brother and sister really listened to the advice and soaked the sour plum drink in a large barrel of mountain spring water. It tasted cool and refreshing.

After drinking it, I remembered that I wanted to make ginger rice tea, so I went to the villa to find Bai Lan.

Because of the market today, many guests who don't usually come to the villa have flocked to it. These guests don't have that much money, and the prices of the villa's special dishes are considered expensive for them.

So Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan and Ling Lie to prepare a new menu in advance the night before.

Three different kinds of porridge are provided: vegetable porridge, millet porridge and lotus leaf porridge.

The porridge was cooked early in the morning and was cold by mealtime.

Then there are no less than eight kinds of vegetarian dishes and eight kinds of meat dishes, two kinds of braised dishes, and of course various kimchi.

There are different set meals on the menu, and the cheapest one is enough to fill you up for just 15 cents.

You can eat meat for twenty cents.

This porridge set was sold like hot cakes at noon today. Not only did the guests who came to the market like it, but also the guests who already lived in the villa liked it. Even the villagers who made money from setting up stalls came over to buy it.

Bai Lan didn't expect that all the food she prepared in the morning would be sold out, and there seemed to be more people in the afternoon than in the morning.

So when Qiao Yu found her, she was helping prepare ingredients in the kitchen.

"Sister Lan, stop for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Bai Lan handed the work in her hands to Ling Lie, and Ling Lie handed it to Xiao Wu.

Qiao Yu glanced at him.

Ling Lie: "I want to listen to it, too."

Qiao Yu was amused: "It's not a big deal, just do your thing first."

"Okay." Ling Lie obediently turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing his cold dishes.

Seeing Bai Lan was a little nervous, Qiao Yu hurriedly said, "Sister Lan, I want to launch basil ginger rice tea in the villa, don't be nervous."
