Joe's Farming

"Joel."

Gu Feng handed the hare to Xia He, then lifted the backpack in front of Qiao Yu with an expression that said "Praise me quickly".

Qiao Yu looked at the four furry little bunnies and said, "For me?"

"Well, raise it for fun. Raise it up and kill it to eat." Gu Feng said with a smile.

When he was catching rabbits, he found some baby rabbits in the nest. His husband kept clamoring to eat the rabbit heads, so he thought of taking them home for his husband to raise.

Qiao Yu was amused.

"Can we catch more baby rabbits? Or a few pairs of adult rabbits will be fine." Qiao Yu took the opportunity to make a request.

Gu Feng was stunned.

Then she understood what her husband meant. Qiao Yu wanted to raise rabbits like she raised chickens and ducks.

If you don’t know, you might think that the couple loves animals very much.

As a result, one of them wanted to feed her husband, while the other wanted to engage in breeding.

"Okay!" Gu Feng agreed of course.

Not to mention raising rabbits, even if it's raising wolves or blind bears, as long as Qiao Yu wants, he will find a way.

Qiao Yu just felt that she was so happy. Her husband listened to her in everything and was so capable!

Li Xin and the children heard in the house that Gu Feng had caught some rabbits, so they ran out to see.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a small rabbit, and they were all very curious.

Gu Xiaoxue: "Oh, so cute, so small."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Daddy, can you give it to me? I want to raise one."

Qiao Xing pursed his lips and said nothing. He thought rabbits were cute, but they seemed a bit smelly. Besides, there was already milk bread at home. Although ice cream and sesame were in the villa, they could be seen often.

Li Xin couldn't let go and touched it again and again, and also asked tentatively: "Brother, give me one."

"No." Gu Feng said.

Gu Xiaoxue: "I can't do that either, Daddy."

Gu Feng looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Ask your little daddy. I have already given it to him."

Qiao Yu smiled helplessly and said, "You two have to focus on your studies right now, why raise rabbits? Besides, you have to kill these rabbits when they grow up, are you willing to do that?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan let go of their hands that were stroking the rabbit in some surprise.

Li Xin complained on behalf of the little rabbit: "Rabbits are so cute, how can you have the heart to eat them?"

Qiao Yu rolled her eyes: "Don't eat it later."

"Hey??"

"I'm going to make my best cold-mixed rabbit dish later, and some people will just drool." Qiao Yu said deliberately.

When Gu Xiaoyan heard about the cold-mixed rabbit, he immediately stood on Qiao Yu's side and said to Li Xin, "Brother Li Xin, Daddy's cold-mixed rabbit is super delicious."

Li Xin was silent. Of course he knew that although Qiao Yu rarely cooked, he had eaten cold rabbit once or twice.

Eventually, appetite trumps the desire to have a pet.

"Then how long do we have to raise it before we can eat it?" Li Xin asked.

Qiao Yu touched his chin and said, "I remember that rabbits are considered adults after half a year?"

Li Xin: "I don't know. I just know that male rabbits are pretty fast."

Gu Xiaoyan: "What?"

Qiao Yu quickly glared at Li Xin.

The latter smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing, it's just that rabbits are very good at giving birth. It seems that it only takes one month from pregnancy to birth."

Gu Feng nodded and agreed with this statement.

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up: "Then if we catch a few more female rabbits, won't we have a lot of baby rabbits in a month?"

Gu Feng: "That's feasible. I'll ask my elder brother to go up the mountain with me tomorrow and catch a few more."

Having said that, Gu Feng went to find Gu Gang to discuss going up the mountain tomorrow.

Qiao Yu looked at Li Xin and asked, "Have you almost finished writing your book?"

Li Xin nodded.

"Then can you take care of the rabbits?"

Li Xin's eyes widened: "Are you sure, brother? I'm useless at nothing."

Qiao Yu thought about it and agreed. By that time, the mother rabbit might die before giving birth.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Brother, let Dashuang and Xiaoshuang take care of the dog. Anyway, there are so many people in the guard team now, and Xiaosi and the others are building a house. Chen Han and the other four have nothing to do except watching the market." Li Xin suggested.

Qiao Yu thought about it and agreed.

In order to prevent possible bandits from coming, they first bought Chen Han and Tie Zhu as guards. But later Ling Lie brought his brothers over, and the four of them were a bit "idle".

In addition to training with the village patrol team, the four of them would take time to go to the villa to help.

Sometimes I help Song Xiaoyu look after the cows and sheep, and sometimes I go to the chicken coop and duck shed to help.

They were assigned to guard the market today, and you can see that the four of them are particularly happy.

"It's not impossible."

Qiao Yu thought that they would not have many rabbits in the early stage, so spending one or two hours a day would be enough, and they could do whatever they wanted with the rest of the time.

No, the entire guard can actually be used in this way.

Just like in ancient times, soldiers guarded the border, farmed when there was no enemy attack, and went into battle to kill the enemy when there was an enemy attack.

Qiao Yu glanced at Li Xin and said with emotion: "As expected, the thinking of capitalists is terrible. They just want to maximize their profits."

Li Xin was not convinced: "Whether you admit it or not, you are the capitalist now!"

"Yeah." Qiao Yu did not deny it.

In addition to the two rabbits brought back by Gu Feng, Gu Gang also brought back two.

When Gu Gang first moved out, he said that he and Hongxiu wanted to cook for themselves so as not to trouble his younger brother and his husband all the time.

Later, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng would call people over for dinner every time it was time, without missing a single meal.

Over time, Gu Gang and Hong Xiu started to come over to eat by themselves.

Anyway, it wasn’t Qiao Yu and Gu Feng who cooked.

So a total of four rabbits can be used for the cold rabbit dish for dinner tonight, which is enough even if Xu Yuan and the others come over.

After the rabbit is processed, it needs to be boiled, and onion, ginger and old wine should be added during cooking.

When the rabbit meat is cooked, they will take it out and slaughter it. Xia He and the others will start preparing other dishes while Qiao Yu prepares the seasoning for the rabbit.

Xu Yuan, Xu Ning and Xiao Chengzi appeared in the yard on time before dinner.

Qiao Yu wondered, "Where are Uncle Xu and Uncle Bai?"

Xu Xiaodie’s surname is Bai, so Qiao Yu calls him Uncle Bai.

Xu Ning said helplessly: "They said they made some money from selling things today and wanted to go to the villa to eat porridge."

Qiao Yu knew that the two elders were embarrassed to see him, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, go wash your hands and sit down. I just need to take the last step."

Qiao Yu put all the seasonings on the rabbit meat and poured boiling oil on it, and the aroma came out instantly.

Gu Feng washed his hands and came over to serve the dish, helping him stir the rabbit meat vigorously until it was evenly mixed.

"It smells good." Gu Feng said as he smelled it.

Qiao Yu quickly picked up a piece of boneless rabbit for him and said, "It's all thanks to my husband's ability. You are a great contributor. Reward."

Gu Feng swallowed it up quickly to avoid being seen by others eating outside.

While eating, Qiao Yu mentioned raising rabbits and Xiaobai and Dazhuang's plan to catch cicadas.

When the children heard this, they also wanted to catch cicadas.

They don't intend to sell it, they just think it's fun.

They had caught cicadas with the children in the village during the day. They used a bamboo pole, made a loop with bamboo strips on the top, and then found several spider webs to wrap the sticky spider silk.

In this way, the circle can stick to the cicadas on the tree.

It's just that there are many children catching cicadas, but there are not so many spider webs. And the cicadas caught are not enough for each child to have one.

Of course, the children who can climb trees can just climb up the tree and grab it with their bare hands, but these three can’t.

Even Li Xin said he wanted to go.

Finally, Gu Feng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take you to catch it later."
