Chapter 75: A Fool Has Good Luck
"Anyway," Tang Xuyang sat down in Lin Xi's shop, "you should thank me this time."
Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was wrong with this guy? He couldn't blame him.
"If you must stay here, then work for me." Lin Xi looked down at the other person.
"Work?" Tang Xuyang almost choked on his own saliva. This Lin Xi was too calculating. He was even more terrifying than his old man.
"It just so happens that there are some manual labor jobs in my store that no one is doing. If you must stay, you can do these." Lin Xi thought for a while, "Or maybe you are more interested in raising pigs."
Raising pigs? He wouldn't do anything as stinky as that.
Forget it, he might as well agree to Lin Xi's request reluctantly. He had nothing else to do anyway.
Although he thought so, Tang Xuyang still felt a little aggrieved. With all his skills, how could he have fallen to the point of watching over a shop for others?
"Lin Xi, besides running the store, do you have any job that is more suitable for me?" Tang Xuyang still didn't give up and asked strugglingly.
"It's suitable for you..." Lin Xi thought about it and found one. "Why don't you work in logistics?"
Although Tang Xuyang seems a little unreliable, his martial arts are pretty good. If he recruits a few more people and does logistics, it should be good.
"Logistics?" Tang Xuyang had never heard of these two words in his life.
"Oh, it's just helping others transport things. What's it called?" Lin Xi tried to recall the costume dramas he had watched before. "Oh, escorting a caravan!"
After hearing this, Tang Xuyang understood instantly, and his mind began to fantasize.
He was alone, wearing a cape and holding a big knife, leading the way, surrounded by his younger brothers following behind him. If he encountered robbers blocking the road, they would surely be defeated by his big knife.
As he thought about it, Tang Xuyang began to smile foolishly.
Seeing Tang Xuyang's expression, Lin Xi said to Xiao Yongyan, "I suddenly feel like I have made a mistake in choosing this person. I'm afraid that such a heartless person will not be able to do business with this person."
Xiao Yongyan smiled and followed Lin Xi's words, "Fools have good fortune."
Fortunately, Tang Xuyang didn't hear this. He was immersed in his own fantasy. "What do you think I should escort?"
Lin Xi didn't even raise his eyelids, "Rabbit."
"Rabbit!" Tang Xuyang instantly returned to reality from his fantasy. He was a young master, and he opened an escort company to escort rabbits? Lin Xi was so smart that he could come up with this idea!
Without asking, Lin Xi knew that this man definitely looked down on her. He sighed, "If you don't want to, I can't keep you."
"No, can't I do it?" When Tang Xuyang heard that Lin Xi wanted to kick him out, his attitude immediately changed.
Lin Xi: "Okay then, I'll clean up a room for you later and you can sleep in the woodshed."
Tang Xuyang: “…”
Now that there is a strong man in the store, Lin Xi feels more at ease at night, thinking that incidents like smashing the store last time will not happen again.
…
Someone was keeping an eye on everything in the store, so Lin Xi finally had time to take a short break and take care of things in the fields.
Under the care of the Ma brothers, the crops on the dozen acres of land at home are growing well, the ducks in the fields have matured, and the golden carp are almost ready to be eaten.
Lin Xi called out the Shennong system. After testing, the fields were in very good condition and no nutrient solution was needed for the time being.
The Ma brothers also found it strange. They had to keep an eye on other people's fields to prevent problems. But Linxi's fields were always healthy, never encountering pests and diseases, and no weeds, dryness, etc. The brothers said they were taking care of the fields, but in fact they just watched them and had basically nothing to do.
As a result, the Ma brothers felt embarrassed, as if they were getting paid without doing any work every day.
"Madam Xiao, how about we open up a few acres of wasteland for you?" said Ma Shanfeng who was on duty.
Lin Xi calculated that the current 14 acres of land has a yield of about 800 kilograms per acre, which means a harvest of 22,400 kilograms in two seasons a year.
If we open up a few more acres of rice, how can we eat all of it?
"Let me think about this matter again." Lin Xi did not agree immediately. She decided to listen to Xiao Yongyan's opinion.
After leaving the fields, Lin Xi went to the Ma family’s pig farm.
I have to say that the Ma family's sunken pig farm is well built. The piglets are growing healthily in it every day and will probably be ready for slaughter in two months.
Seeing Lin Xi coming over, Wang Meihua quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister, you're here, why didn't you say hello in advance."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I came here from the fields, it's just on my way."
After saying that, Lin Xi's gaze fell on the wooden barrel in Wang Meihua's hand, as if he was thinking about something.
"System, help me check the condition of these pigs."
[Ding, received the host's request, analyzing for the host]
[This analysis consumed 1 experience point, and the remaining experience points are 661 points]
[Test results: Current domestic pig health rating is 6, vitality rating is 5, meat quality rating is 4]
[Warning: One of the domestic pigs was found to have the virus, probably because it ate feces]
Lin Xi looked at the test results and immediately felt bad. When this batch of pigs grew up, they could just fill the gap in bacon. But who would have thought that the quality of this batch of pigs was so unsatisfactory.
"Sister, are you busy at night? Can you call everyone back?" Lin Xi said.
Wang Meihua nodded in confusion, "They are all here, I'll call them back."
Evening, Ma's house.
The whole family gathered together, and there was no room for everyone to stand in the main room. All pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Xi, and looking closely, there was some uneasiness in them.
Inside the room, only Old Man Ma, Old Lady Ma and Lin Xi were sitting.
"I happened to have nothing to do these few days, so I went to the fields to take a look. The rice was growing well," said Lin Xi.
Old Man Ma snorted, probably expressing satisfaction.
"However, when I went to the pig farm today, I discovered one thing. It seemed that no one was feeding the pigs according to my requirements." Lin Xi took out a small wooden barrel, which contained the residue she had dug out from the pig trough today.
"I can see that during this period, the most common thing we feed the pigs is pig grass. We have hardly fed them the things I told them to do at the beginning. I wonder why?"
Lin Xi's tone was as gentle as possible, but when Old Man Ma heard what he said, he glanced sharply at everyone.
He is old and has stopped caring about many things. Besides, the children in his family are all honest, so he himself finds it incredible that the situation today has occurred.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Old Man Ma snorted coldly and slammed his pipe heavily on the table.
Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to speak.
"Old family, you speak." Seeing that no one spoke, Old Man Ma simply called out names.
Wang Meihua was called out by Old Man Ma, and had no choice but to speak up, "We don't even have enough of the things that Madam Xiao mentioned at home. It would be a waste to feed them to pigs."
In the countryside, they raise pigs just to eat pig grass, so they would never give them any vegetables or fruits. She had never heard of the way Lin Xi raised pigs.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Ma glared at his eldest daughter-in-law.
