Chapter 149: A mess of new ideas
"No," Angie retorted, "I'm busy." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhou Yu shut up and was speechless: "Are you busy watching bees, snakes and killer whales?" ”
"Can't you?" Angie looked innocent.
“... Yes! Zhou Yu rolled his eyes: "Okay, Anji has something to do, and she's very busy, so forget it." I've thought about it for the past two days, and I think the farm still has a lot of potential that can be tapped. ”
"Did you just find out, dear?" Tina pursed her lips and chuckled: "The whole farm, the profit model has always been very simple, if it weren't for the fact that our fruit has characteristics that no one else has, I think, my dear, it won't be long before you go bankrupt." ”
Zhou Yu was almost angry by these two women.
What's wrong with this?
He couldn't help scratching his head: "You guys are eating gunpowder today, right?" Why can't you get along with me? ”
"I'm here for those days of the month." This is Angie's explanation.
"Me too." Tina chimed in.
Zhou Yu was completely speechless.
"Okay, okay, the big aunt is here, understandable." He couldn't help but hold his forehead and said: "Then Tina, you already know about the business aspects, such as the profit model, why don't you remind me?" ”
"Is it necessary?" Tina blinked: "I found that you don't have too much need for money. So. ”
"You... That's right. Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "But now it's not a matter of money, it's that I think I'm too idle." I'm looking for something to do, okay? ”
"Yes." Tina laughed, very pretty, but her tone was teasing: "For example, playing games." Xiaohu's studio will definitely welcome you. ”
"You'll be welcome from the rugby team, too." Angie added: "Honey, you are so strong, if you participate in the farm's football team, I think next year, the farm's team will definitely become one of the best amateur teams in California and even in the whole of the United States!" And you'll become a household name football star. ”
The rugby team...
Hearing Anji say this, Zhou Yu remembered this existence - it was a long time ago, because some little hairy children on the farm proposed it, it was formed. The members are all employees of the farm.
After it was formed, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to it at all. It seems that last year, they also went to the city of Santa Maria to participate in the amateur league, and the results seemed to be good.
However, Zhou Yu was not interested in any of this.
Whether it's a game or a rugby. It's okay to play once in a while, but if you want to play regularly, you'll be completely uninterested.
"Alright, I said you're enough." Zhou Yu's face was blank: "I'm going to be angry if I come again, I'm angry, don't want to get up tomorrow." ”
Tina and Angie immediately shut up.
Suddenly, Tina seemed to react and said, "No, my relatives are here, my dear, you can't do anything to me." ”
"Ah, that's right." Angie nodded as well.
Zhou Yu had no choice.
"I mean, we do something else, not for profit." He hurriedly changed the topic: "Anji, since the warm jade bee population is developing faster and faster, can we artificially curb it?" For example, using the surplus to make products? Royal jelly? Bee venom? ”
Then he said to Tina, "Like winemaking?" Although red grapes are a table grape, winemaking should also be good, right? Moreover, the quality of our red grapes is extraordinary, and the taste should be good when brewing. You can even use other fruits to make fruit wine... I noticed that my hands were a little itchy. ”
"Also, I wanted to do my old job and raise some yellow eels earlier. On the recipe I bought today, there are related dishes. However, you need a lot of ingredients to cook, such as peppercorns and chili peppers, and you can also grow them yourself. ”
"By the way, there are also new rice plants. Isn't it silly that we have been eating ordinary rice noodles all the time, and we don't need to use the newly planted rice with mysterious elements? ”
"We have to set aside a piece of land and plant it for ourselves!"
Zhou Yu gushed endlessly, as if he wanted to move out all the messy things he thought of.
The two women who were listening from the side opened their mouths slightly, stunned.
For a long time, Zhou Yu hasn't finished speaking.
Tina couldn't help it: "STOP, honey, my brain is about to explode!" Please, don't say any more, okay? ”
Zhou Yu couldn't stop at this time.
"So, where do we start?" He couldn't help but say it anyway.
"I'll just take care of the jade bee and the Bodhi snake." Anji hurriedly said: "I'll take royal jelly, make bee venom, and snake products, okay?" ”
"Then we..."Zhou Yu laughed and looked at Tina.
"Let's make sake first." Tina glanced at him helplessly: "See how it works, and then make other decisions." ”
"Okay," Zhou Yu clapped his hands: "That's it!" ”
...
When he woke up early the next morning, Zhou Yu was full of energy.
I punched and kicked outside the house, and was about to go to find Lin Quan, when I saw the boulder coming over innocently.
As soon as his heart turned, he was not ready to trouble Lin Quan, so he smiled and beckoned to the boulder.
"Boss!"
The boulder happily ran over.
"There are a few tasks for you to do today."
When the boulder heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"You go to the town of Sitok first, buy a batch of seeds and come back, not too many, the same small packet. Sichuan pepper seeds, broad bean seeds, green onions, ginger, garlic, pepper seeds, by the way, coriander... Well, let's do it, as long as it's a seed for seasoning, get a portion. If it's not available in town, buy it online, understand no? ”
"Oh, fodder seeds? Buy a copy of them all, all in a small packet, and buy them online if you don't have them in town. The boulder repeated.
"Yes." Zhou Yu laughed, the boulder is not so stupid, and said: "Also, Huang Eel, do you see if there is one, you want to live... No, there may not be anything sold in town, so it's better to place an order online. ”
"And yellow eel, place an order online." Boulder said seriously.
"Yes, a hundred pounds! That's all you have for today. Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Go quickly, get it done and come back early." ”
"Oh."
It has been more than half a year since Zhou Yu caught the jade seal and the boulder came to this world. Plainly looks silly and silly, honest and simple, but in fact, the soul is transparent.
I thought it would be difficult for him to learn English and communicate with people normally, but he didn't expect that his current level of English was completely no different from that of the locals in Sitok.
And he learned to be familiar with the Internet and the like.
The so-called great ingenuity is like this.
Therefore, with these little things that Zhou Yu handed over to him, there is no need to worry that he can't do it.
The boulder was about to leave, and Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted: "Remember to have breakfast and go again!" ”
Then he returned to the house, and in the kitchen he began to make breakfast, which was almost ready, and Tina and Angie were up.
It's all tears, and the eldest aunt is the most hateful - let Zhou Yu stay alone in the empty room.
Otherwise, the two women would not be able to get up at this time.
After breakfast, Angie went back to her detached villa. Not only Zhou Yu asked Jushi to buy things, but Anji also wanted to buy them. After all, both bee and snake products need some tools.
In particular, bee venom in bee products is more troublesome to prepare and requires corresponding tools.
It's impossible to catch a warm jade bee, squeeze it hard, and the bee venom will come out obediently, that's impossible. The end result is a bunch of guts.
And Tina can't be idle. If you want to make wine, you need tools, right? It can't be brewed empty-handed. On top of that, none of them can make wine, at least, to know the process of winemaking, right?
So, Tina also went back to her detached villa, ready to check it on the Internet, and then place an order to buy the corresponding tools.
In the end, Zhou Yu was left.
He took the recipe and looked through it for an hour or two. It was almost ten o'clock before the recipe was closed. I turned around and went into the utility room, found a shovel, and went out with it.
Follow the lakeside path all the way to the test field. Zhou Yu stood still, looked around, and decided to put the planting and breeding area here.
This place is where the small lake meets the mountain stream. The path around the lake is far away from the shore of the lake, and the widest place in the middle is about seventeen or eighteen meters apart. Between the path and the shore of the lake, there is a wetland in the shape of a crescent.
This crescent-like wetland is 178 meters wide at its widest and extends more than 100 meters in length, with a total area of about one acre. At the same time, it is divided into two halves by the mouth of the mountain stream.
The test field is in the half near the villa.
Zhou Yu looked at this piece of land, pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision in his heart.
In this crescent, another arc is drawn to draw the wettest part of the lake shore to form a smaller crescent, and this piece is used as a rice field for new rice planting. The rest, far from the shore of the lake, is the drier part of the land where peppercorns, chili peppers, shallots and garlic are grown.
"You have to separate," he muttered, and estimated: "It's not easy to separate the rice fields from the vegetable fields, let alone the arc more than 100 meters long." And... This is just the first step. ”
"But there's no hurry, let's get the general framework out first, and it's not too late to do the rest."
With a plan in mind, I rubbed my hands at the moment, picked up the shovel and started drying.
Digging along the corner of the crescent moon, a ditch three feet wide was dug out, and the excavated earth was piled up on both sides of the ditch to form two ridges.
This ditch serves as a dividing line between rice fields and vegetable fields with onion and garlic and other crops.
In the ditch, it is used to raise yellow eels.
At the same time, in order to prevent the eel from escaping, at least one side of the ditch near the lake must be built with stone slabs, and even the bottom of the ditch, and even the other side, must be built with stone slabs.
By the way, there are also ridges, which also have stone slabs.
Zhou Yu pondered while digging.
It's close to the lake, the ground is damp, and a ditch is dug here, which is very unfavorable. Digging and digging, it was a thin mud and slimy.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu is not an ordinary person, the shovel picked up quickly, left and right, and by almost half past eleven, a ditch about fifty meters long had been dug, and it was almost at the mouth of the ridge mountain stream.
Only then did he stop.
Throwing down the shovel, jumping out of the ditch, stretching out his head to look at the watch on the ground, the time was almost up, he roughly washed his hands and feet at the mouth of the stream, put down his trouser legs, and walked home. (To be continued.) )
