Joe's Farming

Chapter 271 A man should have his own hobby

Because they took Gu Heng out, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng didn't stay long this time. After accepting the red envelope from Mrs. Xu for the child and changing Gu Heng's diaper, Bai Lan came back.

"Brother Qiao, if I enjoy the food, Yipinxuan will serve new dishes." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Qiao Yu didn't agree this time, but said to him: "Don't worry, this meat is not easy to prepare, it must be Maoli. Try it first. If you really like it, we can set a price next time. Oh, by the way, I brewed wine with Brother Gu a few days ago. It will be delicious when paired with steak."

The beef is sent from the provincial capital. If we buy too much, we are afraid that it will go bad if we can’t sell it. If we buy too little, we won’t be able to recover the transportation cost.

"Okay. I'll let Aning do it for me later."

Xu Ning: I just went to see my kids, so I didn’t understand much at all.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu is a very responsible person, and before leaving, he explained to Xu Ning in detail the things that need attention.

Gu Heng has fallen asleep now, snuggling in Qiao Yu's arms, so cute.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning stood at the door for a while before going into the house hand in hand.

In fact, the couple didn't have many friends in the town. Xu Yuan had been in poor health since childhood and could only stay at home, while Xu Ning didn't live in the town at all.

So in fact, the two of them prefer to live in the small courtyard over at Lingyun Villa, because they basically know everyone in Qiao Yu's family.

But after all, Mr. and Mrs. Xu have been working in Qingyuan Town for many years, and their friends and careers are all in the town, so they are more accustomed to living in the town. It’s okay to go to the countryside occasionally, but it would be boring to stay there every day.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning would go back and forth every ten days or half a month to stay there, which made the elders on both sides happy.

When Qiao Yu returned home, she left Gu Heng to Bai Lan and took the other three children to the mountains to pick walnuts.

Of course, Gu Feng followed throughout the process as a personal bodyguard.

He couldn't climb the mountain when the walnut trees were full of walnuts. Now there are not many left. He feels very happy every time he finds a Qiao Yu, as if he has found a bargain.

The shells of some walnuts have already cracked and can be peeled off easily.

But most of them are still wrapped in green skin, which needs to be processed. This skin can easily turn people's hands black and is difficult to wash off.

So Gu Feng took them to the stream, put the walnuts in the water, and smashed the annoying green skin with stones. This way, the hands would not change color.

Qiao Yu smashed the nuts and peeled one to eat. The pecans were very fragrant. Fortunately, he had asked Bai Lan to buy a lot of them and dried them in stock.

Speaking of stockpiling.

In just one month, Qiao Yu had filled up the warehouse they had just built.

The rice harvest from his own farm was 1,200 kilograms, 200 kilograms more than the yield per mu of the best farmland. Qiao Yu knew that this was due to his more scientific breeding methods and the careful care of his farmhands.

At first glance, more than a thousand kilograms may seem like a lot, but in reality, after the rice is dried in the sun, husked to become brown rice, pounded and sifted to become polished rice, only about eight hundred kilograms of new rice is left.

There are also some that were selected and kept as rice seeds and are not included.

Qiao Yu kept half of the rice in the rice jar in the warehouse and ate the other half at home. The taste of new rice is very good. During this period of autumn heat, the rice soup in Qiao Yu's house was in short supply.

In addition to the new rice, the warehouse also contained Qiao Yu's second batch of potatoes. This time, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng harvested 30,000 kilograms of potatoes, excluding the potatoes that needed to be saved for the third batch of planting.

Qiao Yu got 2,000 kilograms of food from the villa and 1,000 kilograms from the snack bar.

He sold 3 kilograms of potatoes and stored the rest in the warehouse, and would take more when they were all used up. His warehouse was very large, and more than kilograms of potatoes only took up a small corner of it (about meters in length, width and height).

What's left is the chili peppers that I had stockpiled before.

In the warehouse, Qiao Yu built rows of wooden shelves, which were filled with baskets of various sizes, making it convenient to classify and store items.

Dried goods, pickled goods and fresh goods are all clearly visible.

The guard team will patrol the area near the warehouse every day.

The wooden door of the warehouse is very large and requires two people to open it. There is only one key, which is with Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu laughed happily when he thought about his warehouse full of food.

Gu Feng: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yu looked at him with a smile, her peach blossom eyes curved: "I'm happy to think that I will have a comfortable winter this year."

Gu Feng nodded upon hearing this. Now that autumn had arrived, there were abundant wild fruits in the mountains and wild animals were beginning to gain weight. It was time to go into the mountains to hunt.

But Gu Heng is still so young, and she was afraid that her husband would be too tired if she left him to be taken care of by himself.

"Qiao'er, I plan to go to the mountains with my brother every day starting tomorrow. You and the baby..."

"Ah, didn't you promise me last year that you wouldn't go?" Qiao Yu wailed.

The three little ones turned their heads at the same time and looked at Gu Feng, as if Gu Feng had done something to Qiao Yu.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Gu Xiaoxue asked in a low voice.

Gu Feng touched his nose and said, "It's okay. Daddy is discussing something with Little Daddy. You guys continue knocking."

Qiao Yu crossed her arms and looked at Gu Feng: "You are not allowed to go without discussion."

Gu Feng: "Don't be afraid, Qiao'er. We're either going to hunt foxes or catch rabbits or pheasants. It won't take long."

Qiao Yu frowned: "That's not necessary, have you seen the rabbits you caught last time?

I heard that they have given birth to more than ten litters of rabbits. I believe that soon, our family will be able to eat rabbits directly at the villa.

Not to mention chickens, we already eat the chickens we raise ourselves, and ducks are delicious too.

Why do you have to go to the mountains and hunt so hard? "

Seeing that Gu Feng didn't say anything, Qiao Yu added, "I don't want you to be so tired."

Gu Feng nodded when he heard this: "Well, I thought Qiao'er wouldn't worry if I just went up the mountain for an hour or two every day.

Qiao Er is right, I won't go, I will spend more time with you and the children."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Brother Gu, do you just like hunting?"

If hunting is Gu Feng's hobby, then wasn't what he said just now too harsh? His husband was not forgiving, he just simply liked and enjoyed the fun of hunting.

Gu Feng's ears turned red: "I guess... I guess I like you."

Gu Feng was worried that if he said that, his husband would think that he was not enjoying life. After all, hunting was not an easy thing.

Qiao Yu said gently: "If you like, go ahead. I thought you were going to make money for me like you did last year when you hunted foxes. Now our family is not short of money, so of course I don't want you to suffer this hardship.

But if you like it, you don't want to suffer but enjoy the fun of hunting. Of course I support you.

If you like, you can take me with you sometimes.

Men should have their own hobbies. "

Gu Feng was amused by Qiao Yu's expression and said with a smile: "Okay."
