Godly Farmer - C8
After a short while, the old couple started to argue over the spoonful of rice. In the end, Liu Mei threatened her with not even cooking anymore, so she took the opportunity when Zhang Daniu hesitated slightly to grab it and scooped another bowl. With one hand still holding the spoon, she poured the other hand into her mouth.
Zhang Daniu didn’t show any weakness either. Seeing that Liu Mei wasn’t going to let go, he picked up the pot and poured the rest into his bowl. Seeing that there was still one last bite left in the pot, he poured it directly into his mouth …
“Father, mother, this is …” Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the old couple. He never thought that he would see such a scene, “This big pot of porridge was already finished by you, are you going to eat this steamed bun or vegetables?”
“I’m not eating anymore!” The couple shouted in unison this time.
The old couple finished the pot and set their eyes on the bowl in front of Zhang Xiaoloong. They were determined to not stop until they had drunk it all.
Dad, mom, you guys should have enough, “Zhang Xiaoloong pointed towards the yard helplessly.” These few acres of corn, even if you guys only drink corn porridge every day, it won’t be enough to cover your meals no matter how good the porridge is.
As he spoke, he also picked up the bowl and took a sip.
As soon as the mouthful of porridge entered his mouth, it was immediately filled with a sweet and fragrant taste, bringing with it a warm feeling. As it slid down his throat, it was as if he had massaged his stomach and intestines, and all the pores on his body were suffused with a refreshing sensation.
Even though Zhang Xiaoloong was mentally prepared, his eyes still lit up at the deliciousness of the dish. It was indeed delicious.
“Your son is right. Let’s eat.” Although Liu Mei was a little reluctant, she still sat down and started to eat the rice without the porridge.
“Xiaoloong, the reason why the congee has become so delicious is also because of the geographical reason that you mentioned?” Zhang Daniu, who sat down, suddenly asked.
“Ugh …” Yes, it should be. ” Zhang Xiaoloong was just playing around. He can’t possibly say that it’s because I poured God Power into it, right?
“Then, next year when corn is grown in this field, will it still be as tasty as it is now?” Zhang Daniu asked.
“What’s wrong? Eating for a year isn’t enough. Do you want to eat for a few more years?” Liu Mei rolled her eyes at her husband.
“Your hair is growing short, isn’t it? If he grew like this every year, then he would become a treasure while contracting out this land, “Zhang Daniu’s face was filled with disgust,” Don’t even mention Qinghe Village, even the entire Qingyuan County wouldn’t be able to find a place to produce this corn. If that’s the case, then when we sell this corn, we will have to sell it for a little more than others, and our harvest this season will be able to match other people’s for two seasons.
“It can be that expensive?” Liu Mei became more spirited the moment she heard that, but she still found it hard to believe.
“You don’t know, I heard that the rich people in the city don’t even feel like eating meat anymore. They just like corn and sorghum, these coarse grains. Such a delicious corn like ours, if they touched it, they wouldn’t care about spending a lot of money.” Zhang Daniu said seriously. Actually, he had only heard of it before, so he wasn’t too sure about it.
However, Zhang Xiaoloong’s eyes lit up. He felt that his father had already improved a lot by having this thought. Farmers, for their part, had to put their eyes out to make more money, at least for now.
“Dad’s right. In my opinion, let’s not talk about the price of this corn, if you find a good way, even if it’s a few dollars higher, someone would still buy it.” Zhang Xiaoloong said.
“Cough, cough, cough …”
With just one sentence, it made Zhang Daniu and Liu Mei cough.
“Xiaoloong, is what you said true? Even if it’s expensive, it’s not that expensive. The buyer is not stupid. ” Zhang Daniu had just returned the class to his wife, but in the blink of an eye, he felt like he couldn’t believe it himself.
“Dad, you guys don’t understand. This is called ‘rarity is precious’,” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and said confidently, “I dare to say that the corn produced by our family, even if all of it… As long as you find someone who knows what’s good, you can say that it’s worth five yuan per kilogram, and you can say that it’s worth ten yuan per kilogram. The truly rich people in the city don’t care about that at all, like you said, they eat fresh, nutritious food. ”
Not to mention the entire province, even the entire country couldn’t find another family. This was corn that had been nourished with divine power, and it was even the divine power of God Nong.
Although he didn’t use any instrument to measure it, Zhang Xiaoloong was absolutely sure that besides the taste being wonderful, the nutritional value of this thing would also reach an astonishing level.
Zhang Xiaoloong originally wanted to be the first in the land, but now, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. With this godly strength, he would not only be able to become the top ranker for Qinghe Village, but he might also become the top ranker for the entire nation one day with his skills in the field!
Zhang Daniu and his wife were even more stunned. It was only after a long time that they touched the bowls on the table with pity: “According to what you said, it would be painful just thinking about the bowls of porridge we just drank for dozens of yuan.”
“Xiaoloong, I told you, this corn is too expensive, so how could we afford it? Tomorrow, after collecting the corn, we’ll go to the city with your father and sell it for a good price. If we find a good buyer and sell it, we can really sell it for a good price,” Liu Mei couldn’t help but look forward to it, “This will save you more money to marry your wife.”
“Aiyo, my mom, don’t come up with any ideas,” Zhang Xiaoloong was speechless. “I’ve thought of all these. Listen to me, I promise you that you will earn so much this year that you won’t even think of it! A few pounds of corn is nothing. If you want to earn money, you have to think of something even more profitable. ”
“Is there a better way to make money?” Zhang Daniu and Liu Mei asked curiously at the same time.
In the heart of traditional farmers, the only way to earn money was to cultivate crops in the fields. Otherwise, the only way to earn money was to go to the city and work.
“I’ve thought it through. I’ll grow all the vegetables in our land. The crops have a long growing cycle, and can only be harvested two seasons a year, so I can manage the rest of the time. However, the vegetables are different, they can be grown at all seasons, and the growing cycle is short as long as you do it well, you can multiply our income by several times.” Zhang Xiaoloong was very confident in this.
“How much can you earn by growing vegetables? “Didn’t you see the village’s Old King Cuisine? He has been changing his crops for the past few years, so he can only be sold at the market after getting up early in the morning and going into the dark for a while. If he were to plant too much, he would rot in the fields.” You didn’t see the Old King of Cuisines, he had already changed his crops for a few years. His father, Zhang Daniu, did not think so and immediately rejected the proposal.
How could this be okay? He was just messing around!
