Chapter 5 Too Young

The next day, Zhou Yu got up early in the morning, boiled meat porridge, served his grandfather for breakfast, and went out to Aunt Zhang's house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Today he was going to go to the town for a trip, so he had to beg Aunt Zhang to help take care of the old man for a morning.

Aunt Zhang's house is not far from Zhou Yu's house, bypassing the bamboo forest on the left side of the house, that's it.

When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, they were also having breakfast. Uncle Zhang has always liked to squat under the eaves to eat, and at this moment he is holding a rice bowl and drinking porridge.

"Uncle Zhang."

Zhou Yu called from afar.

"Oh, it's Xiao Yu." Uncle Zhang stood up and smiled.

"It's me," Zhou Yu approached and said, "Have breakfast." ”

"Well," Uncle Zhang drank the gruel in one gulp: "You didn't eat it, did you?" Come on, come on, and drink a bowl of porridge. ”

"I've eaten it." Zhou Yu smiled: "I'm going to go to town this morning to find my aunt to help take care of my grandfather, is my aunt at home?" ”

"Yes, yes." Uncle Zhang said: "You just have to busy your going, and I'll call your aunt over later." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhou Yu nodded gratefully, turned around and prepared to leave.

Uncle Zhang stopped him and said, "I heard your Aunt Zhang say, aren't you going to college?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded.

At this time, he has completely let go of the fact that he can't go to college. got the jade seal ball, he was full of vitality, and he was about to do a big job.

"It's a pity." Uncle Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Your grades are so good, you are the first in every semester... Alas..."

"Nothing." Zhou Yu smiled: "Do you think I'm not doing well now?" I can't go to college, but I can still live. ”

Leaving Uncle Zhang's house, Zhou Yu walked all the way through the village, and when he saw those uncles and brothers, he said hello. Almost everyone knew that he had given up going to college, and they all regretted it.

The village chief also stopped him and told him that he could help him apply for a student loan in the name of the village committee, but Zhou Yu refused.

Although he still has a yearning for university, more than that, he is looking forward to the career he will do. Even if he really had money in his hand, he wouldn't go to college, he had to take care of his grandfather, and he had to do his own business, so he didn't have that time.

The uncle and the villagers were very sorry, and the village chief sighed again and again.

But Zhou Yu has already gone far.

Out of the Banyan Tree Slope, I waited at the intersection for a while, and the minibus came. Stop the car and go up, half an hour, and you will be in town. In the car, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw someone pointing and vaguely hearing them talking about giving up their studies.

In this countryside, there is a slight incident in ten miles and eight townships, and it will immediately spread.

It may not have been spread by Aunt Zhang, and there are also Zhou Yu's classmates in other villages, all of whom know that Zhou Yu will not continue to go to school. It's normal for it to spread.

He doesn't care about this, he doesn't lose a piece of meat anyway, in the past few years, because of the special situation at home, he has been a maverick and has been used to being pointed out.

When he arrived in the town, Zhou Yu first went to the bank to withdraw the money, and then went straight to the seed company.

He came to town this time to buy some seeds.

Although it was not possible to develop large-scale cultivation in Rongshupo, he decided to cultivate yellow eels at the same time as he obtained the jade seal balls.

Of course, not the cheap vegetable crops, but some valuable plants.

For example, medicinal herbs.

The jade seal ball can transform the soil, and the effect on plants is the most direct. He wants to make a lot of money as soon as possible and cure his grandfather as soon as possible, so he can't put all his hopes on yellow eel breeding.

He thought about it for a night before deciding to plant some valuable crops, both of which he could make a lot of money as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the seed company, an old man was reading the newspaper inside.

"I'm going to buy some seeds."

Zhou Yu stepped forward and said.

"What seeds to buy?" The old man put down the newspaper, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Yu carefully for a moment: "It's still a baby." Then he stood up and said, "Cabbage or greens, or turnips?" There are all kinds of models, those that want to be high-yielding, those that want to grow fast, there are them. ”

"I want medicinal herb seeds, do you have them here?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, these days, there are not many people who go to the seed company to buy medicinal seeds, so he said: "Yes, there are, but there are not many." ”

"Are there any ginseng seeds?" Zhou Yu said again.

"Want to grow ginseng? That's going to have to be skilled," the old man babbled.

"How much is a pack?" Zhou Yu didn't have the leisure to talk to him here, and said directly: "I'll buy some and try it back." ”

"Bags? Think beautifully. The old man rolled his eyes: "Ten yuan and two hundred grains, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

"Ten dollars and two hundred grains?" Zhou Yu blinked, he didn't know that ginseng seeds were sold by the grain, and after thinking about it, ten yuan and two hundred grains were not expensive, so he said, "Then two hundred grains." ”

The old man turned around and took a small bag of seeds and lowered it from the window.

"Isn't that just a pack?" Zhou Yu was inexplicable.

The old man ignored him: "Do you want other seeds?" Don't just bother my old man reading the newspaper. ”

It's so domineering to sell things!

Zhou Yu pursed his lips: "Then you still have those more valuable medicinal herb seeds here?" ”

"Precious? Seven leaves and a branch of flowers and gastrodia are considered valuable. The old man replied.

"Seven leaves and a flower?" Zhou Yu scratched his head, he had heard of gastrodia, but he didn't know about the seven leaves and a flower.

"It is also called a heavy building, and the finished product is hundreds of yuan a catty." The old man explained.

"A few hundred dollars a pound?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "What about that day?" ”

"It's about the same, the most expensive gastrodia is thousands of yuan a catty, and the worse ones are hundreds."

"Okay, I want Chonglou and Gastrodia seeds, how can I sell them?"

After a while, I bought 200 seeds of Chonglou and Gastrodia, and it only cost a few dozen yuan in total. Zhou Yu thought that these seeds were very valuable, and he made a special trip to the bank, but he didn't expect them to be so cheap.

happily put the seeds in the bag and prepared to leave the seed company.

The old man shouted again: "Old man, let me remind you, gastrodia can only grow with honey ring fungus, young man, pay attention." ”

Zhou Yu was stunned, wow, don't say it sooner, don't say it late, wait until you buy it, this is a pit for me!

Immediately got angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier!?" ”

"Hehe," the old man laughed, "I forgot." ”

Zhou Yu found himself speechless, and then said, "Can I return it?" ”

"Nope." The old man smiled: "Our seed company will not return goods. ”

"Do you have any honey ring seeds for sale here?"

"Nope."

"Count you ruthless!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around and left.

He walked out of the seed company in a huff, feeling very unhappy. I didn't expect to buy some seeds, but I was deceived. Although it is not worth a few bucks, the taste of being deceived is always not good.

"Blame me for my inexperience... If you know it earlier, you can ask it clearly before you buy it, and you won't be upset... This lesson must be remembered, and you can't be fooled in the same way in the future! ”

As for Gastrodia seeds... Zhou Yu took it out and looked at it, wanted to throw it away, but held back: "It's a pity to throw it away... Whatever he does, plant it first. I have a jade seal ball, what if I don't need the honey ring fungus to grow it alive? ”

Thinking of this, he put away the seeds again.

After leaving the seed company, Zhou Yu went to the vegetable market, especially the aquatic area. The yellow eels he raises always have to be sold, but he has no way out, so he can only go to the aquatic area first, and maybe he will come here to sell them in the future.

Therefore, he also inquired about some relevant information.

Coming out of the vegetable market, Zhou Yu bought two catties of beef, and went to the largest pharmacy in the town to ask about the relevant information of gastrodia ginseng and other medicinal materials.

When I got home, it was noon. Aunt Zhang was cooking at home, and Zhou Yu hurriedly went into the kitchen to help, cut half of the beef and fry it, and stewed the other half with the radish.

Leaving Aunt Zhang to eat with her for lunch, Zhou Yu served her grandfather to eat stewed beef while chatting with Aunt Zhang about some homely things.

In the afternoon, after his grandfather fell asleep, Zhou Yu began to plant medicinal seeds.

The seeds of the three medicinal herbs were sprinkled in the pine forest of the back mountain.

Zhou Yu is not good at planting medicinal materials, and he doesn't know how to plant these medicinal materials and what kind of environment they are planted in. I only know that it should be in the mountains. He had no other reliance, relying on the jade seal ball.

After sowing the seeds, Zhou Yu suddenly found that he had not considered it properly.

Let's not talk about whether these seeds can survive or not, and whether they can produce valuable medicinal materials. Just to say that these medicinal materials need to grow, I am afraid that the time required is not short.

By the time these medicinal herbs are ripe, the yellow eel may have sold a lot of stubble.

Grabbing his hair, Zhou Yu felt more and more that he was too young.

"Whatever you do in the future, you have to think about it clearly, and if you don't know, you still have to ask to understand. You can't think like this, you can't think like this, you can't get anything out of the way, a hoe on the left and a rake on the right, like a castle in the air, you will lose your energy. ”

After making up his mind, Zhou Yu no longer bothered with these medicinal materials and left them to fend for themselves.

"The most important thing for me now is to start the business of yellow eel farming." He introspected to himself: "This is what I decided early on, it is the top priority, and I can't be sloppy." ”

"There are not many yellow eels in the canal now, and although they have calves, it will take a lot of time for the seedlings to grow up."

"It's too slow to wait for it to reproduce on its own, and it will take longer to scale. I need to be proactive. ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu went down the mountain, returned home, pulled out a dustpan of earthworms in the pigsty, and threw them into the canal.

The earthworms in the compost pile seem to have changed a bit.

The number of whitened earthworms has increased, and the earthworms, which have not faded from their milky whiteness, have gradually regained their milky white appearance, and the effect of the jade seal has begun to play.

After feeding the yellow eel, Zhou Yu returned to the pigsty.

In order to expand the scale of yellow eel breeding, the scale of earthworm breeding should also be expanded accordingly.

Although it may be because of the jade seal, there will be more and more earthworms in the area covered by it, but it is not concentrated, and it cannot be dug everywhere when needed, and it is still more convenient to concentrate on breeding.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu decided to turn the entire pigsty into an earthworm pond!

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, first got bricks, stones, cement and sand, and prepared to build the entire pigsty to make a large pond.

This project took Zhou Yu three days of hard work.

After three days, some of the unnecessary walls in the pigsty were removed, and a cement masonry fence was built along the outside.

The whole pigsty became a large pond six meters long and three meters wide. He built a staircase on the outside, a window on the wall that could be opened and sealed, and then he prepared to make this pool into an earthworm pool.
