Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The squirrel is mad

Jiang Heng didn't expect this surprise.

She really wanted to just give it away, after all, it was too difficult to set the price. Besides, Ye Sui was a nice guy. She had seen her post on WeChat Moments before, and without having any idea about the quality of the item, she had immediately given him 6,000 yuan and said she wanted to buy it.

Jiang Heng was not stupid, so he naturally knew her hidden thoughts.

That's why she spent a long time thinking about researching local specialties instead of actually buying some cheap stuff worth a few dozen dollars and sending it over.

At this time, she wanted to offer help again, and Jiang Heng happily accepted it as usual, but still insisted on giving her one kilogram.

Ye Sui felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't like being pushed around, so she chose to accept it.

I just thought that I must find a way to coax that uncle tomorrow.

At least the price can’t be lower than two thousand yuan, right?

She had drunk a kind of honey her parents brought back before, which was also very delicious, but unfortunately it was wild honey, the production was not enough, and the price was expensive, two thousand yuan per pound. It was said that it was made from a unique kind of bees in the mountains that collected nectar from local flowers.

Although Jiang Heng's honey is not produced in such a luxurious place, its taste and effect are better than that one.

No matter what, it can’t be sold worse than that!

Ye Sui swore solemnly and sighed at the same time.

Is this guy really cheating?

While studying so hard, I still have time to learn farming, picking mushrooms, and climbing trees to steal honey.

Haha, there won’t be breeding next, right?

By then, we will have a lot of top-quality meat.

*

Jiang Heng, who was amazed at her cheating skills, was currently using her cheating skills to water the vegetable garden.

It's a good time to water the plants when it's late at night and everyone is asleep.

At the third level of Qi training, there is more spiritual power.

With just a simple gesture, a small-scale spiritual rain fell in the area she wanted.

Completely covering the area of ​​her vegetable garden.

When the rain falls, this area is also the time when the spiritual energy is the most abundant.

When plants touch it, they grow vigorously.

Lingyu avoided the range of the house, but some noises could still be heard from the chicken coop and duck coop. A few alert chicks and ducklings were a little uneasy about the noise, but soon they noticed that the air was a little richer in spiritual energy. The spiritual energy seemed to flow into their bodies with every breath, making them more comfortable. They squatted on the ground safely and fell asleep again, huddled together with their companions.

The rain lasted less than fifteen seconds.

Jiang Heng stopped and closed her eyes. As her spiritual power surged, all the things related to water, wood and earth around her were within her perception range. For example, the lettuce seeds that had been sown in the afternoon had all sprouted and were trying hard to break through the soil.

The radish that had just grown a little bit in the soil had grown a lot bigger.

Some weeds also secretly emerge.

Jiang Heng moved her fingertips slightly, and a tiny drop of emerald green liquid appeared on the weeds. The moment the liquid left, the originally vibrant weeds turned into powder and fell on the soil. The drop of liquid also flew to the nearest vegetable, making the already vibrant vegetable even more vibrant.

Watering, weeding and fertilizing can be done in a short time.

Jiang Heng stretched and walked back.

Caramel and Pudding, who were chasing and playing not far from her, quickly caught up. They were much more agile, but a little dirty. When Jiang Heng sent down the spiritual rain just now, the three of them rushed into the rain. Ahri was fine, being a clean cat, and just tried to tilt her head back to drink the rain water.

The other two were much more confused. They were afraid that they were not watered enough, so they ran around in the cracks of the vegetable field, getting covered in mud.

Before entering the house, Jiang Heng performed the Dust Removal Technique on the three of them and himself, and then they were able to enter cleanly.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, the meal was ready.

Eat, eat!

The rice cooker was turned on, and the tomatoes were already soft. She used a spatula to crush them and mixed them with the rice. Considering that the cats and dogs would also eat it, Jiang Heng did not add much seasoning. She first gave them a bowl, and the rest was all hers.

The rice has the soft and sticky taste of potatoes, the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, the freshness of carrots, the soft and tender taste of mushrooms, and the salty fragrance of fish balls. One bite and a variety of different tastes converge in your mouth.

tasty!

It's just a little bland.

Add some mushroom meat sauce to enhance the flavor, perfect~

Eating such delicious meals every day, Jiang Heng feels that he has enough motivation to farm.

I really hope that the vegetables in the field can be harvested all at once.

I’ll sell them at a stall so that everyone can enjoy these delicious and nutritious vegetables!

——

early morning

The first thing Jiang Heng did after breakfast was no longer to pick mushrooms, but to go to the chicken coop and duck coop first.

The chicks and ducklings adapted well.

Before Jiang Heng even entered, she could hear the chirping sounds, which sounded very lively.

When I opened the door, I saw that all the corn porridge I prepared yesterday was gone and all the water was gone.

He filled it up again and used a dust-removing technique to clean the dirt in the chicken coop. He used magic to cheat at the beginning and finished the job in five minutes. Master Chen and the others also had breakfast and came over to start work.

The speed is still very fast, and the work here can be completed in three days at most.

After saying hello to each other, Jiang Heng went back to the house, got a sack and a shoulder pole, and set out to pick mushrooms.

I'm going to set up a stall today, so I need to pick more mushrooms.

As a result, when they got there, the yellow-throated marten might have become addicted to stealing honey, and wanted to take Jiang Heng to find honey again. However, they had already searched the entire area covered by the spiritual rain yesterday, and the only thing left was some honey from the periphery. Although it was also wild, it was not as rich as the 'local' spiritual energy here.

Jiang Heng refused.

After so many times together, the yellow-throated marten probably understood what she meant. Seeing that Jiang Heng didn't move and was just picking mushrooms, the marten felt aggrieved and looked at her resentfully with its pair of black eyes.

It was obviously very happy before.

Jiang Heng pretended not to see. Although the little mink was picky and would only look for the best honey, it would not dislike the inferior ones. It really liked honey, but it didn't have much spiritual energy, so she really didn't want to steal it and waste it.

The yellow-throated marten gave up and followed her listlessly.

When Jiang Heng put the filled sack on the tree branch, he still took the initiative to watch there and did not follow her.

Jiang Heng softened his heart, thought about it, and saw a big leaf. He dug a hole in the ground, placed the big leaf in the hole and squeezed it into a concave shape in the middle. Then a stream of water with a small amount of spiritual energy fell into it. He stopped when it was half full and waved to the yellow-throated marten.

The little guy's black eyes lit up, and he quickly leaped over and landed next to the puddle.

The paws moved eagerly, wanting to drink.

But he still tried to control himself, looking at her eagerly, hoping to get permission.

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Drink it. This is your reward."

"squeak!"

A loud response.

Then he buried his head in the wine and started drinking it.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng didn't stay any longer and quickly moved to the next place.

The next second, the yellow-throated marten heard a "gu gu gu" sound, and then the danger suddenly came from behind. It quickly dodged and a gray-brown eagle owl rushed over and drank water in the small puddle that it had left.

Yellow-throated marten:!

"Squeak!" With a roar, the yellow-throated marten rushed forward.

"Gu!" The eagle owl, which had just drunk some water, had to flap its wings and fly up again, quickly moving away from this side. However, it was unwilling to leave, staring at this side, waiting for the opportunity to seize the chance again.

The yellow-throated marten was so angry that its fur stood on end. It stared at it warily and didn't dare to drink anymore.

At the same time, Jiang Heng also heard the noise and came over, and saw this scene: one was circling in the air, staring at this side, and the other was on the ground, looking up vigilantly.

These two...

They were not on the recipe list, but they matched!

Jiang Heng was silent for a moment.

what to do?

It's still animal protection versus animal protection.

Fortunately, the difference in strength between the two should not be too big, at least neither of them was injured.

The yellow-throated marten was more familiar with her. When it saw her coming, it immediately squeaked and looked up at the sky from time to time, as if complaining.

Jiang Heng's mouth twitched: "Then I can't help you fight it."

Yellow-throated marten: "Squeak!"

Can't understand.

Jiang Heng simply walked over to it and pushed it: "Drink it quickly. After you finish, I can leave."

The yellow-throated marten understood and immediately started drinking.

In mid-air, the eagle owl circled for a while and tried to attack from several directions, but it could not break Jiang Heng's defense. It was stared at every time, especially since humans were large animals. After some hesitation, the eagle owl gave up and found a tree canopy to squat down, but it did not seem to fall asleep, and its eyes were still looking at this side.

The marten finished drinking quickly, and Jiang Heng simply took the sack and the marten away. Before leaving, he put some spiritual water into the small puddle of leaves that had been licked clean by the marten.

After all, it is about protecting animals.

"Gugu!"

A somewhat muffled gurgling sound was heard behind him, followed by the sound of flapping wings.

Jiang Heng smiled.

After changing the place, the yellow-throated marten was still a little resentful, but when Jiang Heng put the sack down again, it immediately climbed up on its own initiative and squatted there to watch.

Jiang Heng continued picking mushrooms.

It seemed like a strange pattern. Once you saw an animal, you would see it often. For example, after seeing the yellow-throated marten once, Jiang Heng saw it often. It was the same now. She had just seen an eagle owl. While picking mushrooms, she occasionally observed the surroundings and noticed that she could see many different birds on the treetops, including quite a few owls.

From a distance, she could see some pheasants cackling, and then flapping their wings and flying away at low altitude when she approached.

It seems like there are more and more wild animals here.

Except for a squirrel I saw before.

I haven't seen it since it was chased by a yellow-throated marten. It must be dead.

Today's picking is over, and Jiang Heng releases a Spirit Rain Technique as usual, but this time the coverage area is doubled.

The spiritual rain fell down with a loud noise.

A few birds hiding under the leaves noticed the difference in the rain and ran out on their own initiative to welcome the sweet rain falling from the sky.

The squirrel popped its head out of the tree hole, licked the falling rainwater, then its eyes lit up and it ran out happily.

It bumped into the person standing under the tree.

In an instant, his small eyes turned fierce, and he angrily went back into the tree hole. When he came out again, his cheeks were puffed up. He jumped closer with a few jumps and then threw out a fruit.

Jiang Heng dodged and looked at the angry squirrel, feeling embarrassed.

I thought he had died.

It pops up now and tells her: It is alive and well!

They can even hit people with fruits, which is very scary.

The fruit fell to the ground, right at Jiang Heng's feet. She took a look and saw that it was a peanut. After thinking for a while, she picked up the peanut and peeled it.

"Squeak!" The squirrel's eyes widened and the hair on its tail exploded with anger.

It was used as a weapon, and this guy was going to eat it?!

The next second, peanuts were placed on the ground. A burst of spiritual energy passed through them, and the peanuts quickly sprouted, took root, grew, and blossomed...

squirrel:!

It was stunned, squatting among the branches and staring at the scene.

Jiang Heng paused for a moment. Fortunately, peanuts were also self-pollinating. He simply pollinated the flowers and continued to supply them with spiritual energy until they grew to the height of his calves. He then stopped and pulled hard with his hands. The roots were pulled out, and they were covered with plump peanuts.

"Squeak~" The squirrel's voice became much softer, staring in surprise and suspicion.

Jiang Heng shook off the soil on it and smiled as he passed it to it: "Here, it's back to you. Stop staring at me from now on, okay?"

The squirrel tilted its head, not quite understanding, but not angry anymore.

Maybe he was so shocked by the scene just now that he forgot to be angry.

Jiang Heng simply put the things down, clapped his hands, and left with a bag full of mushrooms.

The squirrel at the back quickly jumped down, grabbed the peanuts and stuffed them into its mouth, then immediately sent them back to its nest. At the same time, other small animals hiding around also appeared, picked up one or two peanuts and ran away. A squirrel also ran over and dragged away the entire peanut plant.

The squirrel that couldn’t finish all the installation in one go:!

It exploded.

The tail hair is blown up again!

——

The squirrel was almost mad again, and the culprit was happily collecting the money.

The total amount of crayfish has decreased again today, with less than 30 kilograms. With such a small amount, Jiang Heng wanted to give priority to customers who bought from the stall, so he did not release the crayfish in the reservation.

It immediately attracted a lot of inquiries from customers.

[Ahhh? My favorite crayfish is gone!]

[(Cracked) No way? The crayfish are gone so quickly?]

[Jiang Heng: We still have crayfish, but the quantity is limited, so we can't pre-order. Please forgive me.]

【!!! ！ ！】

[Scared to death, fortunately it’s okay]

[Xiao Gao BBQ: This time it’s my turn to cry (crying loudly)]

@XiaoGaoBBQ, there's so much fish today, I can sell grilled fish! The boss's fish is also super delicious, and the price is worth it.

There are indeed a lot of fish today, a total of 160 kilograms!

They are divided into three categories: one is larger than one catty, one is less than one catty, and the other is small fish of two or three taels, but these fish are all grass carp.

Xiaogao BBQ: Thanks for the reminder. I'm trying out some new products today. Welcome everyone to try them at Xiaogao BBQ (fist bow)

【Ha ha ha ha】

Jiang Heng also laughed. This was quite a clever idea. There were so many people, and they were all local people who often visited the square. This was a really good advertisement.

She didn't say anything and started taking orders one by one in the background.

The demand for lettuce has increased again today.

Unlike mushrooms, lettuce is something that most restaurants can stock. In addition, after the sales in the past two days, everyone who has eaten it said it was good and the price was relatively cheap, so a lot of orders were placed. Even some guests who were unable to make reservations in advance tagged Jiang Heng in the group and asked her to prepare more.

@Jiang Heng, Boss, you have to prepare more. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy any. Oh my god, everyone loves lettuce.

[Hahahaha, there's nothing I can do. The cheapest ones are the same. So I have to buy more, right?]

Not only do we like it, our dog likes it too. The day before yesterday, our boss let us try some lettuce, and even a passing dog was attracted and lined up. If we didn’t buy it, it would still howl.

[I saw it too, it's so cute, I wonder if I can see it tomorrow]

【……】

Faced with the guests' kindness, Jiang Heng could only try his best.

Therefore, even though there were fewer crayfish, the final total income did not decrease.

Jiang Peng arrived at Jiang Heng's house at ten minutes before eleven. She was also in the group chat and naturally saw the grand occasion. As soon as she came in, she said cheerfully, "Good afternoon, Boss Jiang~"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jiang!" Jiang Heng also replied.

Jiang Peng: “…”

She handed over the sauerkraut in the bag. "Here, my mother-in-law made this. She said she'd like to thank you for the food you sent me. Don't underestimate her laziness. She's quite skilled at pickling sauerkraut, and it's very hygienic. Don't you like fish? I'll make you some sauerkraut fish. It's delicious!"

There was a lot of sauerkraut, probably about five or six pounds.

Jiang Heng took it with a smile and said thank you. He took everything out and couldn't continue to marinate it, so he simply cut it up first, divided it into different portions with plastic wrap, and put it in the freezer. He could take it directly when needed and it wouldn't go bad.

Then I moved the goods with Jiang Peng.

The lettuce took up too much space, causing the tricycle to be completely filled. Jiang Peng was so annoyed that he saw two bags of lettuce stuffed at his feet that he shouted, "This is too much! I'm going to order a tricycle tomorrow!!!"

Jiang Heng: "...Don't be impulsive."

Buying a car is not just a matter of one or two thousand.

Jiang Peng was very confident: "My sister is so amazing. I feel like if I don't change the car, there really won't be enough room."

Jiang Heng herself didn't have this confidence, so she quickly reminded him, "But I only planted these two acres of vegetable fields."

The rest is used for breeding, and the remaining one and a half acres are used to plant staple food. If she wants to keep it for herself, these two acres of land cannot keep up with the supply and demand even if she keeps working non-stop and uses spiritual energy to irrigate the land, which makes the growth speed faster than ordinary vegetables by ten days to half a month, it still cannot keep up with the supply.

Otherwise, she wouldn't set the price based on the household.

The supply volume is destined not to increase.

Jiang Peng was stunned, and instantly looked at her with a look of deep heartache and misunderstanding: "Yeah, why did you only plant so little?!"

Jiang Heng spread his hands: "That's all the land we have at home."

"You should have told me earlier that I would have given you all my land to farm!" Jiang Peng blurted out, but then felt it wasn't enough: "No, I only have six acres...so why don't you contract all the land in our village?"

"Huh?" This time it was Jiang Heng's turn to be stunned: "Are you that confident in me?"

She just came back and only had a few thousand dollars in her hand!

Jiang Peng immediately nodded with a smile, and said as a matter of course, "Yes! The things you grow are all delicious. If Xiaoxiao hadn't had to go to school, I would have wanted to live directly in the village. Besides, this land is already barren. If you are willing to contract it, the price will definitely be cheap. I heard that there are discounts for villagers who contract it. In the next town, there is a man who contracted a hill to raise chickens. I heard that he only makes a thousand yuan a year. There are so many preferential policies!"

The more she talked about it, the better the idea became.

Mainly, what Jiang Heng got were of good quality.

That mushroom is now a must-have dish on their family's table. Her skinny daughter has gained a lot of flesh on her face and looks much more energetic.

The teachers told her that her child has recently become more interested in outdoor activities and likes to play more than before, so she should keep up the good work.

Keep what?

Then the only option is to eat mushrooms.

Unfortunately, mushrooms will be out of season in three months. Every time she eats them, she feels like she is eating one less bite. After all, mushrooms are expensive and she can't afford to buy too many. What she eats now are all given to her and her parents by Jiang Heng every now and then. She is too embarrassed to ask for more.

As a result, the vegetables grown by Jiang Heng have made up for this regret.

When she delivered the goods these two days, she would also bring back two heads of lettuce. No matter how they were cooked or even eaten raw, Xiaoxiao ate them with relish. So if Jiang Heng could grow them on a large scale, there would be no worries about selling them. She could also make money and have long-term employee benefits.

What are you worried about?!

——

Jiang Heng also listened and his thoughts moved.

So cheap?!

At first, it wasn't that she didn't want to plant more, but there was only so much land.

If she could have more land, she could own all the vegetables, fruits, poultry, livestock, and even aquatic products she likes. With more land, there would be more work to do, and she could legitimately outsource some of the trivial tasks. The current work is too fragmented, and people are embarrassed to ask for help. Most of the work can be done in just ten minutes. In this way, she is equivalent to a farmer, owning a very large piece of land for her to carry out various plans.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

But if she really wanted to contract a large piece of land on the mountain, she would definitely want to contract all the land she wanted at once. She still has a strong sense of territory and would rather develop it slowly when the time comes than contract a little first and then save enough money to contract the rest.

There are few people in the village now, and these old people rarely go to the county town throughout the year. No one has discovered how much she earns yet.

Once it is exposed, a lot of people will definitely rush to farm.

These people would not think about what secret recipes or powerful methods she had. They would only think that since she had been farming for a lifetime, the vegetables must be better than those grown by a little girl. If she wanted to contract the rest of the crops, it would be very difficult.

Eh?!

Thinking about it this way, if she wants to take over the contract, doesn't she have to take advantage of this time difference? !

"You're right!" After a short while, Jiang Heng sorted out his thoughts and gave Jiang Peng a thumbs up.

Jiang Peng's eyes lit up: "Are you going to contract the land?!"

"Yeah." Jiang Heng nodded and said with a smile, "I plan to rent out the whole area at the back. I can then build a road there, making it more convenient to go to the mountains. I just don't know if I have enough money."

Jiang Peng was a little excited. Oh my god, their Jiang family was finally going to have a big boss. He hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. If you don't have enough money, we have more. We will help you get it together when the time comes. We will definitely get it together!"

Jiang Heng didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

It just so happens that today is Saturday.

There is no one working at the village branch.

Moreover, this kind of contract cannot be signed with just a few words. All relevant villagers need to be notified to sign a letter of consent. At least two-thirds of the relevant villagers must agree before the contract can proceed.

Jiang Heng wanted to "pick up a bargain", but if he couldn't, he would just let it go. After two months when the rice and wheat were harvested, the one and a half acres of land that was free would be used to grow a lot of things.

That's enough.

The most urgent thing now is to cook!

It's time for lunch.

Jiang Peng was busy working and didn't exchange pleasantries. After chatting for a while, he drove off in his packed tricycle. Less than ten minutes later, while Jiang Heng was still busy in the kitchen, he received a call from Jiang Peng: "Xiao Heng, I just met the village chief!"

"The village chief seems to have heard about your money-making. He happened to run into me and stopped me to ask about the situation. What do you think he thinks?" Jiang Peng was so immersed in the situation that he had already thought of all the possibilities. "You look so happy, but I'm afraid that if this gets out and the villagers exaggerate it, they'll either rip you off when the contract is signed, or they'll just not let you sign the contract and do it themselves..."

There are many good people, but there are always bad people.

There is one village in particular. Although there are only a dozen or so toothless old men and women left in the village, they still have many children and grandchildren.

If there are one or two people who can't stand Jiang Heng having a good life, things will be difficult in the future.

Jiang Heng comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. We found out, and we didn't hide it. If we can't contract it, then we won't contract it. I can rent more land from you guys and it will be enough for us."

At that time, I didn't think that it was because the land was too scattered. Her parents exchanged their land with others for convenience, but her uncle's family didn't exchange it. There were two pieces of land here and one piece there. All the land added up could circle the entire village.

Too distracting to take care of.

Jiang Peng sighed: "Okay."

"I hope he is a good person." She muttered at last, and without further hesitation, she hung up the phone.

Jiang Peng was not familiar with the village chief. There was a big age gap between them, and he didn't need his help for anything, so he had no idea what kind of person he was.

Jiang Heng had a brief encounter with this when he contracted a pond.

He is a serious old man.

I heard that she was going to contract the pond, and I was very active in helping her get the contract. I also reminded her to be careful of those petty thieves in the village. It shouldn't be a big deal.

While thinking this, the fish fillets were also processed.

Fry the fish bones, head and tail for a while, then add water to make soup. Just a little salt and some white pepper will make it very fragrant. While making the soup, marinate the fish fillets for a while, then start stir-frying the sauerkraut, add some homemade peppers, ginger slices and garlic slices, stir-fry over high heat, and the fragrance will instantly fill the entire kitchen.

The range hood can't be stopped even if it works hard.

Caramel, Pudding and Ali had sensitive noses, so they escaped decisively and went to the vegetable garden tacitly. They liked the vegetable garden and felt very comfortable there.

Pour the cooked fish soup into the pot. Jiang Heng doesn't like fish bones, so she filtered it with a fine mesh when pouring it, leaving only the milky white fish soup. The pungent sour and spicy taste instantly faded a lot, blending with the fresh fragrance of the fish. Then pour in the tender baby cabbage, bean sprouts, and marinated fish fillets in turn.

When the boiling soup touched the fish fillets, the fish fillets immediately curled up and the meat became tender and white.

Finally, pour it into a bowl, sprinkle with chopped green onion, minced garlic, and chopped dried chili peppers, and drizzle with hot oil.

There was a "sizzling" sound.

The aroma of onion, garlic, fresh fish, sour pickles and spicy peppers burst out again.

The smell makes people drool.

"Gulp!" There was a distinct sound of drooling outside, as well as a low mutter: "What is this made of? It smells so good?!"

Then came the alert barking of two dogs and a cat: "Woof woof woof!!!"

“Woof! Woof woof!!”

"Meow--"

"Hey, you guys are so young and you dare to stop me?" The man was amused and complained, but he stopped in his tracks and shouted, "Xiao Heng, come open the door."
