Picking a bunch of oyster mushrooms with his own hands, Xia Yu plans to make a garlic fried oyster mushroom at noon.

I heard Uncle Tai say that the kitchen has its own ground tofu, and cooking a pot of baby cabbage tofu soup with freshly picked baby cabbage must be extremely delicious.

These two are vegetarian dishes, Uncle Tai proposed to kill a chicken to catch Xia Yu's wind, but looking at the undisturbed lake in the distance, he asked if there were fish in the water?

"Yes, why not, there are so many grass carp and crucian carp, there are at least tens of thousands of catties of fish in our lake, and they are all for ducks and water birds on weekdays. ”

Uncle Tai said, gesturing.

Tens of thousands of catties sounds like a lot, but compared to the more than 50 acres of water on the farm, it is not much.

Farmers contract fish ponds to raise fish, generally polyculture per mu yield of about 1800 to 2000 catties, raised are fish that eat feed, natural waters can carry about the number that Uncle Tai said.

"Then let's burn a fish!"

The fish and fat fruit are ripe in my stomach, and I ate a lot of meat yesterday, and now Xia Yu wants to eat fish a little.

"Okay, I'll take a look at the cage in the morning, there should be fish in it. ”

As long as it is on the farm, Uncle Tai can help Xia Yu get it.

Following Uncle Tai to the living area of the farm, Xia Yu saw a lot of houses.

"This is the thatched cottage, that is the carpenter's room, next to it are two warehouses, the innermost is the house where you live, Boss Wang only engaged in the decoration two years ago, the boss wants to live in the words of the tidy up, I will give you a copy of all the keys to the farm. ”

Uncle Tai thought of something and said anything, Xia Yu nodded while listening.

It's not easy to manage such a large farm, but the situation at Asaka Farm is a bit special.

As a private ecological farm, except for a little vegetable plot and mushroom house to take care of, almost all livestock are free-range, and even the orchard will not be specially pruned and fertilized.

In addition, with such an old Taishan as Uncle Tai, Xia Yu didn't need to think about it at all.

"Boss, look, those two ends are big flowers and small flowers!"

Uncle Tai suddenly pointed in one direction and said, Xia Yu fixed his eyes on two cows, one large and one small.

The cows on the farm are also free-range, and basically they will return to the shed on their own after dark, and they have good self-management skills.

"Do they have a high milk production?"

Xia Yu asked curiously, he had seen a lot of buffaloes and cattle in the countryside, and this cow was the first time he had seen it.

"Boss, cows will only produce milk if they have been pregnant and given birth to calves, we eat less concentrated feed, and we don't play hormones, even if the cow breeds well, the milk yield is not as high as that of no one's milk factory. ”

In fact, only cows that have given calves can produce milk, Xia Yu is the first time to know such cold knowledge, in the past, he only thought that a cow could produce milk!

"It's only about 20 kilograms a day. ”

"So much, I can't drink it all when I drink water every day!"

Getting the exact number, Xia Yu was surprised.

"Boss, you're joking, this fresh milk is at most one or two glasses to drink, and then you have diarrhea, and the rest is the same as eggs and duck eggs, and people come to collect them every day, and a kilogram can be sold for more than four yuan. ”

More than four yuan per kilogram of milk, plus selling eggs, duck eggs, mushrooms, and vegetables, the gross income on the farm's books is about 500 a day.

Fifteen thousand a month doesn't seem like much, but it's enough to maintain the expenses of the farm, which is good.

"Boss, if you want to drink milk, the refrigerator is still there, but you have to boil it to drink. ”

"I don't drink it now, I just want to take some back!"

Since he has cows, he can save money on buying milk at the supermarket, but the fuel cost for him to drive back and forth to get milk seems to be more expensive than milk?

Forget it, isn't it just the cost of fuel, Xia Yu doesn't care about being able to drink the fresh milk that has just been squeezed out.

"Wang~~Wang~~"

When I finally got to the kitchen, a big black dog came out with no chain.

This should be the dog management of the farm, looking at the breed is the soil dog, but the pure black fur is shiny, and the food on weekdays must be good.

"Don't call Xiao Hei, this is our new boss,"

Uncle Tai put down the dish in his hand and slapped the dog on the face, and Sahuan's little black instantly quieted down.

"Boss, you see that this is the little black on our farm, he is very loyal, and he helped catch a thief once two years ago. ”

"That's really a loyal minister, but it's a pity that I'm in a hurry, and I didn't bring ham sausages or anything. ”

Xia Yu also came up and rubbed Xiao Hei's dog head, Xu is Uncle Tai's words worked, Xiao Hei did not resist him, and whimpered with an expression of enjoyment.

Well, a good dog!

Seeing that Xiao Hei agreed with Xia Yu, Uncle Tai rushed to the lake to collect the cage, leaving him alone to look at the entire kitchen.

The kitchen area is very large, there is an iron pot hanging on the wall, there is no rust mark in the black autumn, and there is a smell of lard when you get closer, and it seems that it is well maintained by Uncle Tai.

There are two stoves, one is a gas stove, the other is a country earthen stove, and the dead branches picked up from the forest to dry are piled up on a wall, and the kitchen beams are neatly hung with salted fish and bacon.

There is a hint of order in the simplicity, which is praised, and it seems that Uncle Tai is also a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves, Xia Yu began to wash vegetables and choose vegetables, and when he got it done, Uncle Tai also came back with a grass carp of more than three catties and a few small crucian carp.

Uncle Tai cleaned up these fish by the lake, and now he can directly come back to Xia Yu.

Seeing the crucian carp Xia Yu's eyes lit up, the baby cabbage stewed tofu is just a vegetarian soup, and if you add a few small crucian carp, it will be a more delicious fish soup.

Just do it, start the pot and light the fire, and Uncle Tai will help light the fire behind the earthen stove.

Xia Yu chopped the grass carp into pieces to make braised fish, and the crucian carp was salted, marinated in cooking wine and ginger, and then fried in a pan.

Only fried fish can make the whitest soup, although the fish is not much, but Xia Yu knows it well.

When all the dishes on the table were ready, Uncle Tai couldn't help but praise Xia Yu's craftsmanship, and he gave a thumbs up directly after taking a bite.

Is it really that delicious?

Because the cooking buff he had obtained before was only one day, Xia Yu's cooking skills were limited, so he had such doubts, but when he scooped up a spoonful of fish pond and drank it in his mouth, all his doubts disappeared.

Tofu and baby cabbage extract all the essence of fish into the soup, and the fresh fragrance goes straight to the brain, making Xia Yu's whole mood happy.

Delicious!

The reason why it is delicious is not because of Xia Yu's cooking skills, but because he maximizes the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves.

The water and plants in the lake are abundant, and these fish have never eaten a grain of feed from birth to the pot, which can be described as truly natural and organic, and it is not surprising that they have such an excellent taste.

Thinking of these, Xia Yu felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure trove.

If he had carefully read every document in the document bag, he would have known that the entire Chaolu Farm had invested tens of millions of dollars in the past twenty years to become what it is today.

It's a truly unprofitable hideaway, more reassuring than the concrete pigeon coops in the city.
