It only took one day, and before dark, the expansion of the chicken coop was completed.
Xu Fuqiang walked around and checked. The barbed wire was very solid and the concrete piles were firmly nailed. These people were all people he used to work with as laborers. He trusted their character and work skills, so he settled their wages on the spot with red banknotes.
Those who do odd jobs are all from the same village, not far away, and they usually don’t have meals provided.
In the evening, Xu Fuqiang ate three big bowls of rice by himself.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the wound on her father's hand that was accidentally pierced by the steel wire and felt a little distressed: "Dad, spend a little more money next time and you can stop doing it."
"Dad is still able to do it." Xu Fuqiang was also stubborn, and then he said, "Qingzhi, Dad will go buy some bricks tomorrow and build a bigger chicken coop for you on the right side of the back mountain."
"It's better to pay someone else to do it."
"Other people's work is not as meticulous as mine. I'm an old hand at building houses." Xu Fuqiang took a bite of the dish and then a bite of the rice. He felt that he had a fulfilling day today.
Xu Fuqiang can't sit still. If he really did nothing at home, he would be bored to death.
Xu Qingzhi also knew her father's character, so she had to let him do what he wanted. "Okay, I'm not in a hurry to raise him, just take your time and don't worry about getting hurt."
"Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on."
After dinner, Xu Qingzhi received more than a dozen new friend notifications from people who wanted to buy vegetables. After accepting all of them, he added them to the vegetable selling group.
Newcomers to the group are basically introduced by each other, so they can easily find acquaintances in the group.
Happiness knocks on the door: "Good luck mom, I finally joined the group. How do I buy the boss's dishes? Where do I place an order? I tried a bite at your house yesterday, it was delicious."
Good Luck Lianlian immediately responded enthusiastically: "Look at the group announcement, the boss still has these dishes, hurry up and buy them, otherwise they will be gone."
Happiness knocks on the door: "Can I only buy ten kilograms?"
Good Luck Lianlian: "If you buy too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it, and it won't be fresh if it's kept for a long time. If you want to give it to someone, you can buy more and the boss will ship it to you."
Happiness knocks on the door: "This dish is delicious, but it's too troublesome to give it to others and pack it yourself."
Xu Qingzhi came out after washing up and was about to see if the new people in the group had any questions that needed to be answered when he saw this message.
She took photos of the packaged vegetables piled in the car today and posted them in the group.
"Starting today, all the food we send out will be packed in new packaging. Each box weighs 10 kilograms."
When people in the group clicked on the picture, they saw that it was a square paper box. On the side of the box was a Chinese-style ink landscape painting with a lotus flower blooming alone. It looked low-key and stylish, and more importantly, it made people feel comfortable.
The style of this packaging box is very suitable for these people's taste.
Contentment is the key to happiness: "Boss, I suggested to you in the group that we change the packaging. I didn't expect you to be so efficient and change it right away. I'm so happy. Tomorrow I'm going to place an order for 100 kilograms and send a box to my relatives. Last time my nephew came to my house for dinner, he loved your pakchoy. My brother said that this little guy has been picky about food and only eats meat since he was a child. This is the first time he has seen him so happy eating vegetables."
Xu Qingzhi didn't even read the group message. He could only say that it was a coincidence, but as long as others were happy, there was no need to spoil their mood by telling them the truth, so he replied.
"Thanks."
Soon, the private chat on Xu Qingzhi's phone began to ring.
After changing the packaging, some new customers came to buy groceries. Tomorrow's orders have exploded, and the total order volume may be around 500 kilograms.
With a wave of her hand, she collected all the seedlings grown in the space and placed them in the space warehouse, waiting for an opportunity to plant them outside.
Xu Qingzhi was quite interested in growing vegetables, so she didn’t feel tired. She was a little tired from being stuck in the world of cultivating immortals before, and growing vegetables was her way to relieve stress.
She made a comparison enthusiastically and found that the vegetables grown completely outside using the same seeds were not as delicious as those grown from seedlings moved out of the space.
Of course, the most delicious ones are definitely those grown in the spiritual space without any quick methods.
But these vegetables were not easy to take out, so she sowed them in the space and moved them outside when they grew into seedlings.
By this calculation, the vegetables that would normally take a month to mature can actually be harvested in just half a month, because the first half month is spent in the space to grow into seedlings.
After harvesting the seedlings, she sowed the seeds and went to check on the chickens and ducks.
The little frog that came from nowhere was spotted by several chickens. One chicken pecked the frog with its sharp beak and made it unable to move. Seeing this, another chicken flapped its wings, pounced over, picked up the frog in its mouth and ran away.
The few chickens that failed to grab the frog followed closely behind.
Xu Qingzhi thought, no wonder these chickens grow so fast, now he knows the reason, the meat is good.
She looked at the pond again. Perhaps because it was in a spiritual space, the flowers were growing very fast.
Even the lotus has grown buds, and is still waiting to bloom.
After Xu Qingzhi took a round of inspection, he went to meditate on a wooden stool nearby. He inhaled a breath of spiritual energy, sank down, and then let the spiritual energy in his body flow through his tendons and veins.
After meditating all night, Xu Qingzhi felt refreshed. Hearing the sound of clanging downstairs in his house, he came out of the space, washed up, and went downstairs.
Wang Yanmei bought pork and flour at the village market yesterday, and got up early this morning to make some dumplings.
The breakfast of Meicheng people mainly consists of rice noodles, supplemented by steamed buns, fried onion pancakes, sweet potato cakes, dumplings, etc., but they rarely make steamed buns at home.
Wang Yanmei was also making it for the first time, and she got up early in the morning before dawn to knead the dough.
She thought that the water plantains at home were growing so beautifully that it would be a shame not to make some meat buns with them.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making?" Xu Qingzhi walked over and asked.
Wang Yanmei has also chopped the meat filling. "I'm going to make dumplings for you. This is my first time making them."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at the stuffing on the chopping board, "Scallion pork stuffing?"
"Yes, this water plantain is beautiful and delicious, much better than the grassy onions grown by your father. Mom was thinking of making some buns. Your brother will go back to school this afternoon, so I can bring some back and share them with his classmates." As Wang Yanmei spoke, her hands moved very swiftly, without stopping for a moment, as she put the meat filling into the bowl and poured on the seasoning.
"Mom, is it just pork and scallion filling?"
"Yeah, what other flavors do you want?"
Xu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Dad seemed to like eating buns with brown sugar flavor. There used to be a bun maker in the village who only sold buns with brown sugar fillings, but I didn't like them. Later, the grandfather who made buns passed away, and no one sold buns with brown sugar fillings anymore. Dad has mentioned wanting to eat them several times. Since we're making buns this time, let's make some with brown sugar flavor."
