Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The next day the rain got heavier.

The two came back in the rain.

Chen Xu wanted Lin Chan to stay in the space, but she was worried about Chen Xu being alone outside, so both of them were soaked.

Seeing the two of them coming back in the rain, Lin's mother hurriedly boiled water for them to take a bath, and also made a bowl of ginger soup for them to drink.

The rain kept falling, and Chen Xu was too lazy to bother with it anymore, so he simply stayed in Linjia Village. Every day he would spend time with his wife and mother-in-law, or go to the old village to have a drink. He lived a very happy life.

Chen Xu grew up in the city in his previous life. People are very strange. Children who grew up in the city like the countryside, while children who grew up in the countryside yearn for the city. In short, what you can't get is good, and that's human nature.

For Chen Xu, staying in the countryside for a few days occasionally is like a vacation. The only drawback is that the conditions in the countryside today are not as good as those in the 21st century, and it is somewhat idle to have nothing to do every day.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei came over with his cub and wife in the rain.

With four more tigers in the house, everything became chaotic.

The big ones cry every day, and the small ones crawl everywhere and can't be stopped at all.

This has become a common occurrence in Linjia Village. The other residents of Linjia Village are very calm, as if the roar of a tiger in the village is a very normal thing. At most, they would say that the tiger is back and it is really like a tiger raised in the village.

Chen Xu, who didn't want to go out because of the rain, decided to pet the tiger. After a few days, the tiger was almost bald from being petted by him.

Xiao Hei decisively ran away with his wife, leaving his two little kids behind.

When Chen Xu woke up the next day, he saw only two little tigers staring at him innocently with their big eyes.

Chen Xu laughed angrily, "You don't want to, right? Okay, then don't blame me for taking him away directly."

He decisively put the little tiger into the space, just as a plaything for Lin Chan to entertain himself.

Lin Chan was a little hesitant, wondering if Xiao Hei would be anxious if he found out that the cub was missing.

"Why is he so anxious? I think he doesn't want to keep Xiao Hei anymore."

It was obvious that the two little black kids were novice parents with no experience in raising children. In addition, with the presence of Linjia Village, the little tigers had to be raised by their mother-in-law all year round. If little black had not remembered to bring back prey, the two little tigers would probably have starved to death.

After all, Lin's mother doesn't have that much meat to feed the tiger.

The two people who had been staying in their hometown for a few days and were planning to go back saw Xiao Hei coming back with fish and rabbits in the evening.

Chen Xu took Xiao Hei and his wife into the space, staring at the two tigers, and he planned to communicate with them.

"I'm taking your children with me."

The two little black boys stared with surprise.

Xiao Hei turned and looked at his wife.

"I seem to hear the master talking?"

"I heard it too."

Chen Xu looked at the two stupid cats with a frown on his face as they chatted among themselves. From the moment they heard him talking to the moment they licked each other's fur and talked about love, they completely forgot that there was a person standing next to them.

He reached out and knocked on Xiao Hei's big head.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see, Master, you are so kind, you even help me take care of the children..."

Chen Xu was speechless and decisively threw the two tigers out. He thought Xiao Hei would be more reserved, but he was wrong. Animals don’t have so many thoughts and are much simpler than humans.

Having someone trustworthy to help raise the baby is a rare opportunity for Xiao Hei, so there is no way he would refuse it.

When Chen Xu left, he took the two little tigers with him. He would just raise them as cats anyway, and there was no pressure in raising two little tigers in the space.

Chen Xu felt relieved when he saw the little tiger being chased around by the big goose in the space. Look, how energetic it is.

These dozens of geese in the space are simply bullies. Not only can they not defeat the fish in the lake, they even peck at the deer and pigs, making them squeaky.

Chen Xu held his forehead with his hand as he looked at the goose that was half a person's height. He had no idea what these things looked like. They looked very different from ordinary white geese and were obviously a size larger, which also caused the goose's combat effectiveness to soar.

Over time, the animals in the space gradually formed their own small circles.

The fish in the lake are centered around koi.

Poultry chickens, ducks and geese form a small group.

Pigs, sheep and deer form another small group.

The short-tailed pit viper was playing with itself, and Chen Xu did not collect other snakes. It was enough to have one of these for the time being. If there were too many and a bunch of snakes were bred, Chen Xu would be annoyed to death.

As for why he didn’t raise cattle, it was simply because Chen Xu couldn’t buy calves, so he didn’t consider it for the time being.

Compared to Chen Xu, the master of the world, Lin Chan prefers to stay in the space. Just as Chen Xu said, this is their real home and naturally they have to make arrangements well.

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Chen Xu mentioned the fish to the director, who smiled.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope I can gain more today."

"It's probably going to be difficult. There's not much to feed the fish right now. It would be good if we can maintain last year's scale."

Chen Xu would not deliberately take out more fish just to make more money. There is no need for that at all. Just showing his appreciation is enough.

He would rather find an opportunity to throw the extra fish into Shichahai Lake, at least to improve the increasingly scarce fish population in Shichahai Lake.

Director Chen also felt that what Chen Xu said made sense. Nowadays, fish farming really requires going with the flow. It is not easy to produce several thousand kilograms every year.

Chen Xu casually mentioned the breeding industry in Chenjia Village. Director Chen was very happy. Is there such a good thing?

"That's not a problem. We can just bring it back when the time comes. We have over 10,000 people in the steel mill, so the more meat the better. With the little meat allocated, the workers can't even smell any meat. It's also good to have more soup."

Chen Xu naturally understood the difficulties of the purchasing department. In fact, to put it bluntly, the purchasing department is just doing the job of filling in the gaps. The biggest share does not go to the purchasing department. It mainly depends on the leaders to ask their superiors for more supplies. Companies like the meat processing plant are the ones that the factory needs to curry favor with.

There are limits to what a buyer can get, and not everyone can have a fixed source of materials like Chen Xu. It all depends more on luck. The little that can be purchased is simply not enough for a large factory with tens of thousands of employees.

But this is normal. How much meat do you have to purchase to feed tens of thousands of people for a meal? Even if each person gets two pieces of meat, it is still an astronomical figure. One or two pieces of meat per person means thousands of kilograms.

According to the current calculation, a pig usually weighs less than 200 kilograms a year, and adding a meal would require at least five pigs, which is not something a purchasing agent can get.

Therefore, it is not realistic to eat meat as a snack, drinking soup is better.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Xu felt that the company cafeteria in the 21st century was pretty good. At least there was meat to eat every day...

This is the bad thing about the era of material scarcity. It is very difficult for most families to get meat to eat, and they can only eat it a few times a year. This is also the main reason why most people in this era are malnourished.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to improve the current situation. It is still a long way to go before we can develop to the level of the 21st century, at least not within a few decades.

The city of Sijiu is not peaceful right now. Perhaps because it is the capital, news about enemy agents and spies can be heard almost every now and then. Chen Xu even heard that several Japanese were captured when he came back this time.

This kind of thing is commonplace nowadays and everyone is used to it. At most it just gives people something to talk about.

Everyone talked about the gossip they heard, cursed the Japanese for being inhumane, and then did what they had to do.

For the first time in history, Chen Xu went to the black market to find Lao Zhou at night. The reason was that Li Huaide wanted to ask how much pork Lao Zhou could provide this year. Now it was October, so it would be better for the steel mill to prepare early. So Chen Xu became the contact person.

Chen Xu stopped before reaching the black market. His facial features were very sensitive and the subtle ticking sound caught his attention.

Chen Xu narrowed his eyes. This was... the sound of a telegram.
