Chapter 79 Chapter 79 A Treasure Mountain

The newly arrived tourist couple was eating heartily, and Jiang Heng was eating too.

Sometimes I can’t stand the cats and dogs around me acting cute, so I’ll feed them extra.

On the surface, her chickens and ducks were eaten by her, but these little cuties were definitely not left out!

In order to beg for food, the Husky, who is good at nothing, has learned the gesture of Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Jiang Heng suspected that it learned this behavior from watching Qin Siqi act coquettishly.

Sometimes my little cousin feels very "disgusted" and even worries why the smart Husky was not taken home, but every time the Husky acts coquettishly, she is the first to soften her heart.

Thinking about this, Jiang Heng peeled a large piece of meat off the chicken bones, cleaned the broth from it, and took a small bite. "There's no more. I gave you all the chicken breast!"

"Awooo awooo~~~" The Husky raised his head in protest.

Caramel and Pudding quickly followed suit: "Oh, woo, woo, woo~~~"

Compared to the Husky's confident voice, they felt more guilty and their voices were more gentle. Then they each pulled at her calf.

Ahri lightly jumped onto her legs and fell softly into her arms, making a soft sound: "Meow~~~"

The Border Collie came closer tentatively, put his head on her legs, and looked up at her with his big eyes.

It's just full of fur.

Jiang Heng rubbed the cat's soft belly hard in annoyance. To be honest, in terms of feel, none of the furry animals here could compare to Ali.

Even if these guys were put outside one by one, they would all be really slick and slippery.

Today's chicken is actually only half a chicken.

There were only ten chickens, so Jiang Heng was restrained when eating them. She added more side dishes. When the chicken was stir-fried, the chicken juice would flow out and blend into the side dishes, which could enhance the taste of the side dishes. They were all very delicious.

There still weren't enough chickens.

Fortunately, the staple food has changed!

She gave the remaining rice to Chen Aying to feed the cats and dogs. After eating the rice at home, the cats and dogs no longer wanted to eat the rice they bought.

Yesterday, Wu Huiying sent her a message to complain that the live chicken she took away would not eat ordinary rice unless it was mixed with some vegetables and fruits sent by Jiang Heng. But then the chicken would have less to eat. Seeing that the chicken had lost a lot of weight in just two days, she planned to go home directly and did not dare to stay outside any longer.

At her rate, she should be home tomorrow morning.

Thinking about it, I took another bite of the fragrant and soft rice.

I have been used to eating rice as my staple food since I was a child, so when I eat it, the satisfaction I feel is incomparable to any other food, especially since this rice is grown by myself without any drugs or chemical fertilizers. It is grown purely with the spiritual energy and nutrients in the soil, as well as the essence of plants and a small amount of fermented organic fertilizer. The taste is particularly mellow.

You don't really need any side dishes, it's delicious just eating white rice.

After eating two large bowls, they finished all the dishes. As for the remaining rice, they put it directly into these five fluffy bowls without adding anything else. They took small bites from each bowl and ate it with a roar.

After dinner, I still had some food left in my stomach.

Fortunately, she didn't eat much for dinner.

So I went to the refrigerator and took out the half watermelon that I put in there in the morning, got a spoon, carried it upstairs, snuggled up on the soft sofa, ate the watermelon, and played with my phone for a while. The wonderful life I had when I just came back was perfectly realized!

As soon as she went upstairs, these ones followed her.

Since Jiang Heng had officially adopted the Border Collie and the Husky, she never let them stay downstairs alone and made them sleep with her.

She sat down, and a pile of fluff lay on the carpet.

Jiang Heng smiled and started eating watermelon.

With a "click" sound, the spoon was inserted into the watermelon flesh, and with a rotation, the flesh was scooped out. She was very restrained and did not dig out a big piece, just the right size for a bite. When she put it in her mouth, she exerted a little force with her mouth and the juice overflowed.

I used to think that strawberries and tomatoes were juicy, but that was before I came across watermelon.

This is the real king.

The cool and sweet juice is squeezed out, with a refreshing watermelon flavor.

Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Next year, we must plant in advance!"

It will be launched in the hottest months of June, July and August.

And they need to be planted in batches.

The watermelon harvesting period is only one month. To ensure that there are watermelons for more than three months, the planting time and the watermelon ripening time must also be allocated well.

Jiang Heng quickly took the notebook from the other end of the coffee table and wrote down the current arrangements on it.

There are too many things to do and I need to remember them. What if I forget them by next year?

After taking two bites, Jiang Heng felt cool all over. He took a break and took out his cell phone to check.

I saw the news about Zhao Ning first.

To thank her.

The B&B opened smoothly, and the guests were very satisfied with the room and dishes she arranged, and thanked her for providing an extra fish.

Jiang Heng simply replied, "You're welcome," and said nothing more.

For her, this was just a small thing. Anyway, when selling fish today, she deliberately kept three more, thinking of eating them slowly herself. Giving one away was no big deal, but giving away chickens and ducks was not an option now!

Then I saw the message in the village group.

Everyone is saying that Zhao Ning has opened a homestay in the village and now has guests, who were recommended by her.

Now we are discussing whether to open a B&B. We tagged Jiang Heng to ask for her opinion. If she agrees, she will definitely be willing to recommend guests to us in the future.

@Jiang Heng, what do you think? Is this really something you can do?

[She just got back from setting up her stall. Is she busy? What did Xiao Zhao say? Aren't you really worried about not making any money?]

Zhao Ning: Of course I'm afraid, but I won't suffer any loss even if I don't make any money. My house is so beautiful, I can live in it myself. Besides, even Jiang Heng can't guarantee that I will make money. You have to think carefully.

[Village Chief: Opening a shop is risky, so be cautious when investing. Don't expect Xiaoheng to cover your losses. Think carefully.]

[There aren't many customers right now. Even if it's open, there's no one there. Should I wait a while?]

[It's not certain that it can be done yet. Besides, there are already many people living there, so it won't be our turn for a while.]

[That’s right, instead of discussing this, you might as well start cultivating your own land.]

I went to see you these past couple of days. Zhanhong, have you planted your fields yet? You're really strong, taking care of the livestock while still planting all those fields at home.

[Zhan Hong: My job isn't tiring. I'm busy for a while in the morning and evening, and I use the remaining time to plant. It's not a loss anyway.]

[Zhou Yun: I've planted some too. Xiaoning, if your guests want to experience farm work, they can come to my fields to water and fertilize them.]

Zhao Ning: Yes, yes.

Zhou Yun was smart, and other families who had good vegetable gardens also spoke up, and Zhao Ning agreed to them all.

Whether it can be done or not is another matter.

After all, her parents-in-law are at home and the vegetable garden is well taken care of.

It was at this time that Jiang Heng saw the group message.

Because there were too many @s for her, she even went to the forum to read the whole story. By the time she finished reading the whole story, the group had already quieted down.

She was not surprised by these inquiries.

It was also at times like this that she couldn't give any advice. Human hearts were the most complicated. When she told Zhao Ning, it was because after spending a few times together, she knew that Zhao Ning was sensible and could understand what she said. Others were not reliable, so she had to refuse.

Jiang Heng specifically @ed those who had asked her to give advice, take notice, and give a firm answer before, typing:

My advice is don't count on me.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a second message: [I am only responsible for my farm. Other matters have nothing to do with me, including Zhao Ning's. Whether you make a profit or a loss is your business. I won't share the money or worry about it. Just think about it yourself.]

After sending it, I didn’t care about the follow-up, closed the group chat, and checked other messages.

Ye Sui received the flour she sent over without spending any money. It was a gift for her support over the long term. Today, he received feedback that the flour was delicious and the pancakes made with it were particularly fragrant. She didn't give him any special ingredients. Just add some water, salt and chopped green onions to the flour, and it will be super delicious and simple!

Jiang Heng decided to eat pancakes tomorrow.

It just so happens that the chives have grown again, and they will definitely taste delicious when made into scallion pancakes.

——

The message is sent.

The group chat was quiet for a while before someone replied with a smile: [Of course it is. It's great that Xiao Heng can bring guests to our village. How to do it is our own business. How can we rely on others for everything?]

Zhao Ning: Yes, whether I make a profit or a loss is my own business!

[Yes, yes, yes. She didn't take your money. It's not good for you to ask her about these things. Everyone, please think carefully.]

【……】

After a few somewhat dry replies, the group fell silent again.

But the companies involved were not at peace.

Zhao Ning patted her chest with lingering fear and called her husband Jiang Junchuan to talk about this matter: "Oh, I'm so scared. Is Jiang Heng angry?"

Jiang Junchuan thought about his impression of Jiang Heng, and how Jiang Heng had brought such great changes to the village after returning this time, and shook his head: "Probably not, she just doesn't want to get involved in this."

It's just that the words were a bit impolite.

But to be honest, the relationships in the village are too close, and everyone has the same surname. Every household is like a relative, so if you are too polite, people may not understand. This kind of clear statement may make them feel a little uncomfortable at the time, but it also helps them clear their minds and stop thinking about relying on Jiang Heng.

Zhao Ning smiled: "That's good, this is the God of Wealth Milk! I just need to be happy all the time."

Jiang Junchuan was amused: "Yes, yes, God of Wealth, please pay your respects to me. We will rely on you for our daily life from now on!"

The sleepy little girl lying in her mother's arms suddenly widened her black and white eyes and looked at her phone expectantly: "Eat delicious!!!"

The couple: …………

*

Jiang Daliang, who had @Jiang Heng and wanted her advice, looked at the reply and suppressed his inner urge: "Forget it, our family doesn't have much money. Jiang Heng won't give any advice, so there's definitely a risk of losing money. We should just keep that little money for retirement."

After hearing this, the few children who had some ideas didn't dare to speak anymore.

Everyone is afraid that if they become the decision maker, they will lose money in the future and be blamed by others.

Forget it, I won’t lose money even if I don’t do it.

That's it.

*

"I'm not planning on getting rich from this, but any extra money is better, right?" At another home, Jiang Yunquan also called his children and explained, "I'm old. At Jiang Heng, all the manual laborers have to be under 60. If I can't work, I don't know what to do with my time. It doesn't require a huge investment. I know how to manage a vegetable garden. I'll try to make it look beautiful, just like I've seen online. Customers will definitely like it."

The two children at home disagreed: "You are almost seventy years old, you should stop doing this. How much money can you make? When people come, they will definitely eat Jiang Heng's food."

Jiang Yunquan was unconvinced: "That won't be a waste. I can send it to the town or county later. If I sell it cheap, there will definitely be people who want it! If no one wants it, I can just give it away for free. At least it won't be a waste."

Unable to reason with them, the two children gave up: "Alright, whatever you want. Just be careful and don't go to the hospital. The money you earn from doing this every day is barely enough to cover your medical expenses."

Jiang Yunquan insisted without much confidence: "I always feel that this time is different! And my health has really improved a lot recently..."

Neither of the two children believed this.

He really felt that his body was in good shape recently, but his bones were itchy from being idle. This opportunity just happened to come. Although Jiang Heng said she was irresponsible, she could let guests come to the village! This was enough. He couldn't do anything else, but he made his vegetable garden beautiful, so that guests would be happy to come here to play.

After all, the vegetables and fruits sold by Jiang Heng's family are very expensive. He found out that the group of people who came last time were not rich and could not buy many vegetables to take back.

His vegetables are cheap and he tries not to use pesticides, so they might be willing to buy some.

*

Some people, because of this incident, have confirmed their idea: "I think it can be done!"

Zhou Yun pulled her husband, who had come back specially, and explained to their children on the other end of the video: "Look, Xiao Heng doesn't even guarantee the profit or loss, but Zhao Ning has already done it, which means she must think she can make money. Besides, her house is really beautiful. If you get married, our house will be like hers. It will be so impressive when the in-laws come. Just like Zhao Ning said, it won't be a loss to live there yourself. We don't have anything else, but the house is big enough. I can make four or five thousand yuan a month now. Now that your father is back, the two of us make almost ten thousand yuan together. I heard that Zhao Ning only spent forty thousand yuan, and we can earn back this forty thousand in four months!"

Jiang Bo nodded beside him, and after his wife finished speaking, he added, "Besides, there won't be many people here at the beginning, so the two of us can handle it. When more people come later, you can see who will come back to help. It won't delay anything. Mom and Dad will pay the people who help. Besides, our house is much bigger than Zhao Ning's, so we can spare five rooms to accommodate guests!"

Their children were smiling on the other end of the video.

After my parents finished speaking, they spoke one after another in strange tones: "Oh, my parents are really amazing now, they can make 10,000 yuan a month!"

"Isn't it? Look at how arrogant he is in saying that. He earned back all his money in just four months. I'm so envious of him."

"Thinking back to when we said we wanted to renovate the kitchen and spend a few thousand dollars, someone was heartbroken..."

The child's teasing made both parents feel a little embarrassed: "This situation is different!"

The stable income in the past few months has made Zhou Yun more confident than before.

If she were asked to renovate her kitchen again, she would definitely rather spend her own money, spend more, and make it better!

"That's right." The son slapped his thigh and praised, "That's the way it should be. If you lose money, you can make it again. If you want to do it, go ahead. I have no problem with it."

The daughter then said, "That's fine with me! If you do a good job, I'll come back to help. My salary here isn't even as high as you two!"

She didn't receive much education and couldn't find a good job, so she worked as a waitress. Fortunately, the food and accommodation were provided, and although it was a bit tiring, she could still earn some money by living frugally. But compared to her parents, she really couldn't compare now.

Zhou Yun and Jiang Bo both laughed immediately.

Zhou Yun said, "Come back, come back. You can come back now. The vegetables Xiao Heng grows are really delicious. If you come back, you can enjoy my employee benefits. Besides, you are young, and there may be other jobs in the future. Xiao Heng will definitely give priority to young people like you when he needs them."

The daughter was so eager to do something, but she couldn't make up her mind.

Going home to develop is not an easy thing.

I can only think about it again and see the specific situation of my parents.

——

The next morning.

After finally finding a comfortable place to rest, Ye Tong and Qiao Yu, who were tired after a day of work, slept until dawn.

It's really comfortable.

Eat delicious food and feel happy; after eating, your body will feel especially comfortable; and take a hot bath, wear soft home clothes, and lie on a clean bed. It really feels so comfortable that even every pore in your body is screaming for comfort.

Every cell seemed to become lazy.

So much so that when they woke up, both of them were still a little dazed.

ah?

Is it dawn already?

Haven't they slept for long?

Looking again, even with the curtains drawn, the light coming in from outside still showed that it was getting late.

He quickly took out his phone to check.

Half past seven!

They finished eating yesterday, came back, played with their phones for a while, and then fell asleep. I don’t remember the exact time, but it was always no later than ten o’clock.

That’s almost ten hours of sleep!

Apart from the time, the only thing that can show that they slept well is their mental state. In the past, when they got up, it was either because they had not slept enough and did not want to get up at all, or they had slept enough but slept too much and became more lazy and did not want to move.

It's completely different now.

I was full of energy and my body wasn't sore from sleeping too long. I could get up without thinking and even fight to go to the toilet.

Tell the boss that you are up and breakfast can be arranged.

After receiving the reply, the two of them packed up leisurely. Ye Tong also put on some makeup and styled her hair beautifully. She walked downstairs briskly and smelled a sour and sweet tomato scent.

Zhao Ning just served two bowls of tomato and egg noodles and greeted them: "Good morning, how did you sleep?"

Ye Tong said with full energy: "Very good!"

Qiao Yu followed up with, "Yes, very, very good!"

Zhao Ning smiled widely. "Alright, alright, even though we're in the mountains, it's really good for us. Jiang Heng's vegetables are especially good. They're pollution-free, which is even better." She placed the hand-rolled noodles on the table and reminded them, "Eat breakfast first. You can walk around later. Nothing's happened here in all these years. We're safe. But be careful not to go too far into the mountains. It's easy to get lost, and the signal is bad there."

"good."

"Thank you, boss."

The two of them thanked him politely and went to have breakfast happily.

The fragrance of the hand-rolled noodles is different from the fragrance of yesterday's rice. It is topped with tomatoes and eggs, and has the sour, sweet and salty taste of tomatoes. Stir it and the whole thing turns orange-yellow. Pick up a piece of noodles and take a big sip.

The taste was exactly as I smelled, no, it was even more delicious when it reached my tongue.

It’s so happy!

No more smelling the fragrance but not eating the same taste!

The noodles are hand-rolled and not chewy, but soft and sweet. There seems to be nothing added to the flour, so you can taste the fragrance of pasta particularly clearly. The eggs in the tomato and egg are fried until they are fluffy and soft, and absorb the tomato juice. When you take a bite, the sour, sweet and salty juice overflows with the aroma of the egg.

Perfect!

*

The sounds of people eating noodles in the house were very clear, and Zhao Ning was smiling while working.

My daughter was taken away by my father-in-law. We can’t make too much noise when entertaining guests at home.

But there should be a lot of excitement outside at this time.

Early this morning, several families came to ask her where the decoration was done.

She introduced Yang Xing to everyone.

Yang Xing also contacted her just now, saying that she had received many inquiries, and if the order was placed, she would definitely be given a red envelope.

There's more to it than that.

Early this morning, my parents-in-law went to their vegetable garden to water the vegetables, and they saw many people carrying hoes to the vegetable garden, especially the vegetable garden near Jiang Heng's contracted area. Many elderly people were carrying hoes to cultivate the vegetable garden.

It is said that the grass grows better in the fields next to Jiang Heng than in other fields.

If you want to farm, this is definitely the first choice.

There have been people who have opened up the land before, but never before have there been so many people as this time.

It was obvious that they were all moved when they saw that she had customers.

Zhao Ning didn't think this was a bad thing.

Just like if there is only one restaurant on a street, most people who want to eat will not choose this place first. If the street is full of restaurants, even if they don’t know what to eat, customers will go here first and then think about it slowly.

She and Jiang Heng had similar ideas, that the village should be more lively.

*

After breakfast, Ye Tong and Qiao Yu said hello to Zhao Ning and couldn't wait to go out with their cameras.

They only plan to stay here for two days. It's a great experience to live here, but they are travel bloggers and need to constantly shoot all kinds of materials. They can't stay in one place for a long time, especially in the first few days when they were in a hurry to travel and didn't take any good materials. Boss Jiang can't send out the materials immediately.

After discussion, we decided to spend the day today and leave early tomorrow morning to shoot new material to make up for the gaps of the past few days.

We have to hurry up and shoot some footage. There are few people here now, and Boss Jiang is willing to shoot for them. If there are too many people, it would be difficult to shoot casually.

They chatted yesterday, and she had already asked Boss Jiang and learned that she was not running a farm stay.

You can make a lot of money just by selling agricultural products, so why bother to earn hard-earned money?

Of course, what she said was not absolute.

Leave a little room.

The two didn't know where Jiang Heng's contracted area was, so Qiao Yu asked anyone he could find.

The villagers were very welcoming, just like last night and today. When they asked for directions, they took them there directly and reminded them, "They are busiest in the morning because they have to harvest."

"We understand. We'll just walk around and not disturb you." Ye Tong understood immediately and nodded obediently.

Grandma Zhanhong went back with peace of mind.

Ye Tong and Qiao Yu walked over slowly. This place was already outside the village. At first glance, there were no other buildings except Boss Jiang's house. The cultivated land was slightly undulating, and some people and animals could be seen from time to time in the enclosed land.

There are also tricycles that work particularly hard on this road and act as transport vehicles.

At this moment, Ye Tong suddenly noticed several figures flying in the sky. As they got closer, the figures became bigger and bigger.

"Is this the goshawk that the blogger mentioned?" She excitedly pulled her boyfriend and pointed to the front for him to see.

Qiao Yu's eyes widened, and he instinctively adjusted the camera in his hand, aiming it at the rapidly approaching black dot: "Oh my god! It's so fast... Eh? It doesn't seem to be..."

The lens can see more clearly than the human eye. When the naked eye cannot make an accurate judgment, the lens can illuminate its appearance first.

"It's a peregrine falcon!"

“Oh my god!”

The two men, one in front and one behind, exclaimed in shock, staring at the camera to capture the creatures in front of them, and took the opportunity to take pictures. There must be a lot of small animals here. The peregrine falcons didn't stay for long. Several of them came over and left with their prey within a few minutes.

Jiang Heng just happened to come out chewing a piece of bread. Seeing them, he smiled and waved, "Good morning."

"Good morning." The two of them greeted quickly and walked over quickly.

Ye Tong said excitedly: "I just saw a peregrine falcon!"

Jiang Heng took a bite of the homemade scallion pancake, which had a crispy crust and a soft interior that exuded a delicious scallion aroma. Her eyes curved, "Oh, yes, I came here a few days ago. I probably found that there was enough food, so I came here to replenish my energy."

Then he didn't leave.

I don’t know whether these peregrine falcons live in this area or just happen to pass by.

Qiao Yu: "Boss Jiang, when will the goshawk arrive?"

Jiang Heng glanced at the time and said, "It should be here soon."

"Okay, Boss Jiang, we'll shoot here outside. I hope it won't affect your work." Ye Tong said happily.

"It doesn't matter. Just be careful and don't get too close. It's a raptor or a national second-level bird." Jiang Heng reminded.

The two nodded cautiously, not daring to go any further. They just sat under a big tree in front of Jiang Heng's house, staring at the sky. As they looked, they noticed that there were several black spots coming over this time. Qiao Yu immediately turned on his camera to take pictures.

The camera zoomed in and showed two large goshawks followed by four smaller ones.

"Four! A goshawk hatches three to four eggs at a time. Could they have raised all of them?" Ye Tong urgently searched for relevant information and was stunned by what he learned: "These two head birds are too powerful."

"Awesome!" Qiao Yu murmured, staring at the family of six excitedly.

All four birds are able to survive. Not only is the parent bird powerful, but there is also definitely enough prey here, so the pressure on survival is small and naturally more birds can be fed.

Just as he expected, this family of six came together and their hunting efficiency was terrifyingly high. It only took a few minutes for them to succeed in one attack. They found a tall tree to stop, ate their food leisurely, and flapped their wings away.

In addition to this family, there are other carnivorous birds of prey, such as the kestrel, red-footed falcon, crested eagle, etc.

There are also countless smaller sparrows and swallows.

In addition to birds, many gray and white rabbits can be seen in the gaps between the weeds, as well as some animals that he couldn't identify. Unfortunately, the weeds were too lush and too high, and the small animals were basically impossible to see clearly.

As the sun rose higher and fewer birds came to hunt, the two of them reluctantly put away their cameras and looked at each other in amazement: "This place really seems to be a good place for Feng Shui."

Ye Tong was even more distressed: "Boss Jiang said there was nothing to shoot here. If it were just these pictures, those photography enthusiasts and eagle chasers would want to live here!"

Even she, after looking for a while, saw that all they saw were wild protected animals, and she wanted to keep looking.

Compared to the animal world, the scenes they saw with their own eyes touched her heart more.

No wonder so many people like to chase and take pictures of protected animals.

Qiao Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right! This place is truly a treasure trove!"
