Generally speaking, it takes half a day, or six hours, to drive from Gulang to Cai Hongming's Xidu Shengjing Farm.

Of course, this is not absolute, because he has always driven very slowly, absolutely no more than sixty kilometers. If you drive to 100 kilometers or more, you should be able to get there in about three hours.

However, he didn't dare to drive at this speed.

In the past, when he was riding a motorcycle, he fell down because he drove too fast, leaving a shadow in his heart, so he later transformed the quad bike into an impregnable wall with airbags. Besides, this desert is full of sand. It's fine on the desert road, but it's not okay to turn to the side road. If you drive too fast and get stuck in the sand, or get stuck in a pit, the car will overturn. There is no village in front of the desert and no shop behind the village, and that will kill people.

After driving for a few hours, the car finally arrived at the Western Capital Shengjing.

Looking from afar, I saw a Guancheng towering, and a tall giant pillar cactus stood in front of the Guancheng, which was very dazzling.

Under Cai Hongming's careful care, these giant pillar cacti have survived the cold winters, and now they have adapted to the environment here and have begun to grow normally. Last year, when Yuan Pinghe discussed with Cai Hongming to borrow this cactus to make a film, he felt that there were too few cacti here, and planned to ask him to shovel away the plants such as the saxon grass behind the giant pillar cactus and plant some fake giant pillar cacti.

Cai Hongming refused his request, saying that the fake thing was too ugly, so he asked him to add some money, and he asked the boss who bought the cactus last time to send a batch to plant. In this way, it looks tall and tall, and the picture is good.

Yuan Pinghe thought about it and agreed. It's not much anyway.

Now in front of the gate of the Western Capital Shengjing, there are towering giant pillar cacti everywhere, which are very beautiful.

The car slowly approached. Su Wanyu saw groups of yaks and ostriches walking and running on the sand, as well as some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep. Looking back, it is still an endless desert, and it seems to be the vast sea. Some places are as smooth as a mirror, some places are sparkling, and some places are undulating. In other places, the waves are monstrous. Compared with everything in front of you, it's like two worlds.

After Yuanyuan, who was full of sleep, saw the tall ostriches, he shouted to go down to see, and Cai Hongming stopped the car.

The group got out of the car. Feet in the soft sand. There was a burst of joyful crunching.

Su Wanyu has never been to the desert, she walked in it slowly, carefully examining the sea like a solidification, and savoring the majestic heroism and delicate tenderness of the desert. It's different from other places because it's constantly changing. Perhaps, at this moment, you have left a mark on this place, but after a while, when the wind blows, the lines of footprints and a quick trace left behind will be obliterated.

Yaks and ostriches are surrounded by wooden fences. However, the golden silk yak and the white yak and the ostrich king in the ostrich flock and several ostriches that were fed water jade toad liquid by Cai Hongming are not among them.

Because after drinking too much water jade toad liquid, the intelligence of these guys has improved significantly. It's not like the other guys are stomping around and, so Cai Hongming allows them to walk around.

The ostrich king was also outside, and when he saw Cai Hongming coming back, he rushed over and rubbed his head against him to say hello. After a while, the black and white double evil wind that felt Cai Hongming coming back inside ran out of the Western Capital Victory. This guy came to Cai Hongming, and suddenly got up, stretched out two paws and leaned against him, wanting to make love to him.

Cai Hongming hurriedly grabbed its two dog paws, this guy is already so big and still like this, if it weren't for his strength, just now, he wouldn't let it fall down.

The black and white pair stretched out their tongues and licked Cai Hongming's face vigorously, wanting to say a warm hello to him. It's a pity that Cai Hongming avoided it from a distance, and he didn't want to be like it at all. Seeing that he was not happy, the honest black and white shuangsha did not force it, and instead went to say hello to Shi Wan'er. In fact, the last thing it wants to see at home is Shi Wan'er. Because every time she washes it clean, sprays it fragrantly, and then holds it and uses it as a pillow, quilt, toy, and pedal to play, which makes it feel very undignified as a big dog, so I don't like it very much.

Yuan Yuan saw the ostrich king and the black and white double evil, and was fascinated by the style of the two, but he was a little scared, so he hid behind his mother and secretly watched.

Cai Hongming saw it and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, do you want to ride an ostrich, is it okay for your uncle to take you to ride." ”

Looking at Cai Hongming who was smiling, Yuanyuan felt that he was like the kind of weird Shu Huang on TV who took things to deceive children, so she wouldn't be deceived? She hurriedly ducked behind her mother.

Seeing her like this, Cai Hongming was directly speechless, is he so terrible? I'm very amiable, okay.

Shi Wan'er looked funny next to her, glared at him angrily, walked over to talk to Yuanyuan, and without saying a few words, she hugged her on the black and white shuangsha and let it carry her forward, while she and Su Wanyu guarded her tightly.

"Your farm is so big, can you manage it?" Shi Jingxing looked at the vast sandy land in front of him and asked Cai Hongming.

"Of course you can, now you use machinery to grow all things, and you don't use force, how can you not manage it?" His daughter ignored him, so Cai Hongming was also a little unkind to see Shi Jingxing.

Because yaks, ostriches and other livestock are kept outside, and there are many things planted in the field, so someone must watch outside, so Cai Hongming asked people to build a few wooden buildings on stilts outside for the people on duty to rest. Today it was Liu Chong's turn and Pan Haimin to watch outside, and they were resting in the wooden building, but when they saw Cai Hongming coming back, they walked over.

Cai Hongming learned about the latest situation on the farm from the two, and learned that Ji Dong had already said that the manpower he wanted to recruit had been in place, and there were eight special elites like them, and more than 50 other ordinary retired soldiers. It's just that some people didn't adapt to the water and soil when they came, and some saw that this place was so desolate, so they left again, and now there are only fifty people left in total, even those special forces.

After chatting for a while, Cai Hongming drove Shi Jingxing and chased Shi Wan'er and them.

Passing through the city gate tower and coming inside, a fragrance of the wilderness came to your face.

Cai Hongming suddenly found that after just a few days of not returning, everything inside had completely changed. I remember that when he left, the paddy field was still dry, and now it has been ploughed and filled with water and planted green grass seedlings. He let Shi Wan'er drive the car, and he got out of the car and walked towards the paddy field.

Because of early breeding, coupled with the help of the water jade toad liquid, the seedlings are growing well.

After he left, he specially left a black jade bottle filled with jade toad liquid for Hachiko, and asked him to take it and pour it into the water tower every day. Hachiko is also an old and refined character, and he didn't ask anything after listening to it, and he always did what he told him.

When the seedlings grow up, he will ask people to send soft-shelled turtles over. This year he didn't want to raise crucian carp, only soft-shelled turtles and loaches. The price of soft-shelled turtles is relatively high after they are raised, and loaches can be used to feed soft-shelled turtles or be sold, which can be said to be more than one stone. After seeing the paddy fields, Cai Hongming walked into the greenhouse.

The greenhouses that used to be full of vegetables have now been emptied, and they have been planted with early spring peanuts in a bunch, and now the peanut seedlings have been exposed to the soil, which looks lush and lush, and it is gratifying.

Because of the presence of greenhouses, the fields here can be planted for two seasons instead of one season. So Cai Hongming planted peanuts in the first season, because peanuts can be used to extract oil. Nowadays, the market is full of all kinds of oils, such as corn germ oil, rice oil, blended oil, rapeseed oil, etc., some of which have never been heard of before, but now they have all popped up. Some of the oily smell is even more flattering. He had eaten a kind of black rapeseed oil before, and the taste was simply miserable. Just ate it once, and he vomited so much that it was a mess. So now the oil they eat at home is the self-pressed peanut oil sent by the family from their hometown in southern Fujian.

After growing peanuts and squeezing oil, you can not only eat them yourself, but also sell them.

The peanut pulp can also be used to feed livestock, make various pastries and fertilizers, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

After the peanuts are planted, the next step is to plant sweet potatoes. Last year, because it was raw land, there were not many sweet potatoes produced, and this year's yield should be a little higher, and this year, the sandy land outside the farm will also be reclaimed to grow sweet potatoes and corn, so this year's livestock will have a lot more feed.

Therefore, this year, he raised more yaks and ostriches, and a little more chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep. If you can raise it well, you don't have to go to the county market to buy meat in the future, saving you the pain of going back and forth. After all, it takes a day to go back and forth to buy meat in Gulang, and it is still very hard to take the car. (To be continued......)
