Xu Fuqiang can build a chicken coop with bricks by himself. He has experience and it is not difficult for him to expand the house. He can just find a few familiar workers to work on it and it can be done in one day.
"Qingzhi, leave the expansion to Dad. Tomorrow, pick the vegetables and pack the eggs and go to town to deliver them to your third aunt."
Xu Qingzhi naturally had no reason to be polite to her father, "Dad, I'll transfer 5,000 yuan to you."
"No, Dad has more money here, so we don't need that much." Xu Fuqiang waved his hands and refused to take it.
"The money from selling vegetables at home is all with me, and I'm going to raise the chickens and ducks too, so... whatever money I give you and mom later, just take it, and don't make excuses. We are a family, not outsiders." Xu Qingzhi had wanted to say this for a long time.
Xu Fuqiang is a man with a very strong sense of male chauvinism. He always feels that it is impossible to accept money from his daughter.
Wang Yanmei was quick-witted and had a relatively good acceptance of this kind of thing. She made the decision, "Okay, we'll listen to our daughter."
Xu Fuqiang could only nod his head. He still didn't want to take his daughter's money. He always felt that he was useless and couldn't give his daughter a good life. How could he still take his daughter's money? Qingzhi should save this money for herself. When she meets a good person in the future, she will have more confidence to get married.
"Dad, I'll work with you tomorrow." Xu Zijun tried to feel involved.
The whole family refused.
Xu Fuqiang: "Don't worry about it, just do your homework at home."
Wang Yanmei: "You are already very busy in your second year of high school, so focus on studying."
Xu Qingzhi: "Study hard and make progress every day."
The Xu family has always believed that learning is the most important thing for children who study hard, but that doesn’t mean they should study hard blindly. The family just creates a good study environment for children who study hard and doesn’t let them be distracted by other things.
Xu Zijun could only quietly exit the chicken farming group chat and go back to his room to do his homework.
Xu Fuqiang called several laborers in the village and agreed on a wage of 100 yuan a day. He then planned to go to the town early the next morning to buy iron nets and concrete piles.
The matter of raising chickens and ducks was settled, and Xu Qingzhi went back to his room to wash up and prepare for bed.
Xu Fuqiang and Wang Yanmei returned to the room. Xu Fuqiang still frowned and whispered, "You shouldn't have agreed to accept Qingzhi's money."
"You are so stubborn that you can't change your mind. Let's save the money Qingzhi gave us. If she needs money urgently or gets married, we can add it to her dowry, isn't that the same?" Wang Yanmei said, and then whispered: "Don't you know your daughter? She spends money lavishly and doesn't know how to manage her own money. Can we expect her to save money on her own?"
Xu Fuqiang slapped his head and realized, "That makes sense. I happen to have an empty bank card. When the time comes, we can put whatever money we receive into that card. If she needs it later, we can just give her the card."
"Okay, it's safe to put it in a bank card when the time comes."
The two of them agreed immediately on collecting the money.
On the second floor, Xu Qingzhi finished washing up and entered the spiritual space.
The two little crows were making trouble in the space. When they saw Xu Qingzhi coming in, they started cawing non-stop.
There was no meaning behind it, it was just pure unhappiness, expressing dissatisfaction in Xu Qingzhi's ear.
Xu Qingzhi smiled slightly, and said in a coaxing tone: "Tonight, there will be chicken legs to eat~"
The crow stopped calling. It smacked its pointed beak twice and then opened, revealing its little tongue, just like a child opening its mouth to ask for food.
"Ga ga~" Ahhhhh, I want to eat chicken legs.
The white cat was agile. A white shadow flashed by and it went to the distant forest to collect firewood.
"Meow~" Master, I'm leaving too.
The crow thought the cat was very scheming.
Although they had agreed to fight together, the big cat always took the lead and acted very actively.
The crow quickly flew over and followed, cursing as it went.
The white cat replied unwillingly.
"Meow~" Baldy, don't blame me for being so powerful because you are incompetent and slow.
The crow pecked at his head mercilessly, and said angrily: "Ga~" Don't call me bald, call me by my new name Zhaocai! Xu Qingzhi watched the two little ones go away, and he also went to the chicken farm, caught two chickens and killed them.
The chicks are not as big as adult chickens, but they are not small either and can be eaten.
Xu Qingzhi plucked the chicken feathers, cleaned the internal organs, chopped off the chicken legs and wings, leaving the rest of the chicken uncut, and marinated it with the seasoning he brought from home.
He dug a hole on the spot and waited for the two little ones to collect firewood.
She took a breath of spiritual energy and circulated it in her Dantian. She moved her fingers and a small flame shot out from her fingertips, igniting the pine needles that served as kindling. She then broke off some dry branches with thin roots with both hands and put them into the fire. Finally, she placed some larger pieces of firewood on top.
When Xu Qingzhi was in the later stage of cultivating immortals, he would often buy some meat, bring some vegetables and a pot, find a nice hilltop or ravine, dig a hole, set up two sturdy wooden sticks as a stove, and have a picnic with the two kids.
She is very familiar with this set.
After cutting two "Y" shapes, place them on both sides of the fire and insert them firmly. Then use clean, cut wooden sticks to pierce two whole chickens, place them on the rack, make a gesture, and use the wooden sticks to turn the whole chickens over.
The other four chicken legs and four chicken wings were also inserted with clean wooden sticks.
Xu Qingzhi waved his hand, and the chicken legs and wings hovering above the fire began to roll automatically.
The crow flapped its wings excitedly, "Ga~" The master is so awesome.
"Meow~" Baldy, stop drooling on me, or I won't be able to eat.
"Ga ga ga~" It's just right that you can't eat it, these are all mine, hahahaha...
Xu Qingzhi reached out and touched the two little ones' heads, and said, "The bayberry I ate today didn't taste good enough~"
The crow, who had been clamoring for a strike and instigating the white cat to join in the fight, responded very quickly.
"Ga~" No problem, I'll go water the plants after I finish eating.
"Meow~" I'm going too.
The natural chickens we raise ourselves have golden skin after being plucked. They are marinated with seasonings and then roasted over a fire, and their color gradually turns into a bright yellow color.
The chicken skin gradually seeps out oil and makes a "beep" sound when it falls on the fire.
The two little ones love to hear this sound the most! Xu Qingzhi went to the vegetable garden in the space again to pick chili peppers and shallots, washed them, and chopped them.
When she came back, the two little ones were no longer by the fire. She didn't care. This spiritual space was very large, so they might have gone out to play somewhere.
When the chicken legs and wings were almost cooked, the two little ones came back and brought something with them.
Xu Qingzhi took a closer look and found that it was actually a small piece of beehive. "Where did you get the beehive from?"
"Meow~" There are a lot of small animals here, but it's deep in the forest. It's too dangerous there, so Baldy and I don't dare to go there. Some time ago, you planted some flowers there, and they grew very fast in the space, attracting some bees, so we found the beehive.
Xu Qingzhi didn't expect that he would reap such a harvest by just randomly scattering some flower seeds in the space.
