Zhu Miaomiao, always a man of action, immediately took action. She pumped water from the Luqingjiu well, filled a bottle, and sent it to her colleague by express mail. She told him to wash his hair with the water first, and if the effect wasn't noticeable, he could drink it. The colleague agreed.
Lu Qingjiu asked Zhu Miaomiao when she would go back. Zhu Miaomiao replied that she was not in a hurry and it would not be too late to return to the company after her colleagues gave her news.
About two days later, the colleague who received the express delivery called Zhu Miaomiao.
At that time, Zhu Miaomiao was helping Lu Qingjiu feed the pigs. It must be said that even the pigs in Lu Qingjiu's family were much healthier than what many people ate. The feed was all fresh vegetables and meat stewed together. Zhu Miaomiao smelled the smell and if she hadn't been full, she would really want to try it.
When her colleague called, Zhu Miaomiao immediately pressed the hands-free button. Before she could say anything, she heard the person on the other end of the line excitedly yell, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao, you're like my adopted parents!"
Zhu Miaomiao asked: "What?"
A colleague said, "My hair has grown, my hair has grown!!!" He yelled, and his trembling voice made people hear his excitement even through the long phone call.
Lu Qingjiu was feeding Xiaohua and the others, but stopped when she heard the sound.
"Calm down and speak slowly." Zhu Miaomiao felt a pain in her forehead from his yelling.
The colleague said, "Do you want to see me now?"
Zhu Miaomiao said: "Video? Sure."
Then a colleague sent her a video call invitation. Zhu Miaomiao accepted it and was stunned. She saw her colleague, who originally had a Mediterranean hairstyle, now had a ponytail. She excitedly threw herself in front of the phone camera, proudly showing off her hair and asking, "Am I beautiful? Does it look good?"
Lu Qingjiu: “…” It was quite irritating for a man with a beer belly to ask this question.
Zhu Miaomiao's reaction was similar to Lu Qingjiu's. Her expression twisted for a moment, but she had a good relationship with this colleague, so she cursed him out directly: "What a beautiful thing! Why do you have such a hairstyle? Can't you go to the barber shop and get a haircut first?"
My colleague angrily said, "Are you kidding me? You asked me to cut my hair, which I had worked so hard to grow? You are trying to kill me."
Zhu Miaomiao: "..." She couldn't refute it.
The colleague walked around in front of the video and described in detail the process of growing his hair. It was actually quite simple. He received the bottle of water that Zhu Miaomiao sent him, and then followed Zhu Miaomiao's instructions. After showering and changing clothes, he applied the bottle of water to his head. It didn't have any effect at first, but when he woke up, he found that he had a head of beautiful black hair.
Zhu Miaomiao listened to his colleague's description and thought: "Then you can give the remaining water to other people to try. I want to see if it works on them too."
"Okay," the colleague said, "I'll try it on Xiao Huang tomorrow. Hey, where are you now?"
Zhu Miaomiao said: "I'm playing outside and will be back in two days."
The colleague nodded, and Zhu Miaomiao asked him to give her feedback on the results after giving the water to other colleagues, and then hung up the phone.
"Great! I didn't expect the well water to be so effective." Zhu Miaomiao was extremely surprised and rubbed her hands in front of Lu Qingjiu. "I've already seen a way to make money waving towards you."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "How about this, you help me set up a Taobao store, and I'll give you a share of the profits."
Zhu Miaomiao understood what Lu Qingjiu meant. He simply wanted to make money with her, but she still refused. After all, she had come up with this idea in the first place to make Lu Qingjiu's life more comfortable. Lu Qingjiu had so many mouths to feed at home. She said, "No, you should do it yourself. This water is different from other things. It doesn't require any transportation. You can just find a courier company to cooperate with you. But remember to package the water."
Lu Qingjiu asked, "What does it look like?"
Zhu Miaomiao said, "The higher the quality, the better. And don't put too much water in each bottle. It's best if it can only be used by one person. Let me think about it. How about I design a bottle for you?"
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Then I have to pay you a salary."
Zhu Miaomiao laughed out loud.
In the company, the two people work in different areas. Lu Qingjiu is responsible for operations, while Zhu Miaomiao is in charge of design. Of course, although the content of their work is different, they still lose a lot of hair. After all, as long as the counterparty is not satisfied, they have to redo the work, and working overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock is the norm.
Zhu Miaomiao took out her iPad and started designing the blueprints. She also planned to go to the glass factory in the city with Lu Qingjiu tomorrow to discuss making bottles.
In order to reward Zhu Miaomiao, Lu Qingjiu prepared a big meal. He asked Bai Yuehu to kill a fighting chicken in the yard and took out the beef from the refrigerator to thaw.
The fighting chickens consisted of one rooster and nine hens. Each hen laid an egg daily. These eggs were much larger than the eggs Lu Qingjiu normally saw, and most importantly, almost all of them had double yolks. The yolks were a particularly beautiful bright yellow, and scrambled eggs or tomato and egg soup made with these eggs were also very delicious, incomparable to ordinary eggs.
Of course, if the eggs taste good, the chicken must taste pretty good too.
Lu Qingjiu stewed the dried mushrooms that he had picked from the mountain and the chicken. Before they were cooked, the whole house was filled with the rich and tempting aroma of chicken soup.
Foxes love to eat chickens. The little fox was drooling at the smell and squatted at the kitchen door, staring at the stove. Lu Qingjiu found it funny, but the funniest thing was Yu Shiqi who was riding on the fox's neck. She had now regarded the fox's fur as her own nest, curled up in it and peeking out. Lu Qingjiu knew that she must be hungry, so he took a candy and stuffed it into her arms. After she took it, she held it carefully and disappeared into the little fox's fur.
After feeding the little fox a piece of chicken to satisfy his craving, Lu Qingjiu made beef stew with potatoes and shredded beef with pickled peppers. He was thinking about buying two kimchi jars when he went to town tomorrow. The weather was cool, which was the perfect season for making kimchi. Otherwise, if it was too hot, the jars would easily bloom.
The chicken soup was indeed as delicious as Lu Qingjiu had imagined, but this time it was a little too little, so no one was satisfied. However, Lu Qingjiu planned to take out a few eggs for them to hatch chicks, and then kill two of them to eat.
"That's too cruel," Zhu Miaomiao said after hearing this. "Can you send me one after you kill it?"
Lu Qingjiu: “…” You are so fickle.
In the evening, Bai Yuehu went out for a while, and when he came back, he asked Lu Qingjiu if he wanted to drink milk.
Lu Qingjiu was baffled. "Why are you suddenly talking about milk?" Bai Yuehu's comment did serve as a reminder to Lu Qingjiu. They could indeed buy a cow and milk it. Although they could buy boxed milk in town, it was nowhere near as fresh as freshly squeezed milk.
"My friend gave me a cow." Bai Yuehu said surprisingly, "I'll take it back if you want it."
Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu suspiciously: "Is it really a cow and not some other animal?"
Bai Yuehu was silent for a moment: "Anyway, milk is similar to cow's milk, so it's okay to make do with it."
Lu Qingjiu was amused by Bai Yuehu's words. He nodded and said, "Okay, my family just happens to be short of a dairy cow, so it's okay to raise one. But does it eat grass like a cow?"
The White Moon Fox said, "Just feed it grass." This obviously meant that the thing could get by eating grass, so Lu Qingjiu didn't have to worry too much.
The next day, Bai Yuehu came back from outside the door with a very strange-looking cow as he said. The cow was completely black, but it had only one huge eye on its face, and its long eyelashes made it look quite cute.
Zhu Miaomiao happened to be in the house as well, and was stunned when she saw the cow: "Why does this cow only have one eye?"
Bai Yuehu said beside him, "It's disabled."
ox:"……"
Zhu Miaomiao: "Disability? There is such a disability?"
White Moon Fox: "If I say it's disabled, it's disabled."
Facing Bai Yuehu's unfriendly eyes, Zhu Miaomiao's desire to survive made her give up trying to get to the bottom of the matter and said, "Okay."
Lu Qingjiu laughed beside him and said, "Why do you care what it looks like? As long as the milk tastes good, that's all that matters."
Zhu Miaomiao said: "That's right..."
After bringing the cow home, Lu Qingjiu asked Yin Xun to feed it something, and then he and Zhu Miaomiao went to the glass factory in the city to order a batch of glass bottles.
The process of ordering the glass bottles went smoothly. After giving the drawings to the boss and telling him some of my needs, I paid the deposit and was told that I could pick up the goods next month.
After ordering the glass bottles, Zhu Miaomiao reminded Lu Qingjiu to select a few high-end packaging boxes online, preferably custom-made. After the initial preparations were complete, the two discussed pricing. Lu Qingjiu, who preferred a more accessible price, suggested 300 yuan per bottle. Unexpectedly, Zhu Miaomiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "If we're going to make something, we're going to make it high-quality. 300 yuan per bottle is too low a profit margin. This one-of-a-kind item deserves its proper price." She made a five with her fingers.
"Five hundred?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Five thousand!" Zhu Miaomiao said, "Just make it clear when you sell it. If your hair doesn't grow, I'll give you a full refund! And you only sell a hundred bottles a month, and each account is limited to one bottle."
Lu Qingjiu said: “Five thousand is too much.”
Zhu Miaomiao shook her head. "What's wrong with that? Why don't you ask how much a hair transplant costs? Besides, there's no guarantee of 100% success. 5,000 yuan to give a bald man a full head of hair? Everyone's scrambling to get it."
Zhu Miaomiao's words made sense, and Lu Qingjiu didn't want to spend too much energy on his Taobao store. He returned to Shuifu Village to slow down his pace of life. If he was too busy, it would be counterproductive. So in the end, Lu Qingjiu agreed to Zhu Miaomiao's proposal and decided to set the price at 4999, just one yuan short of 5,000.
With Zhu Miaomiao's assistance, Lu Qingjiu's Taobao store opened smoothly.
Zhu Miaomiao's vacation was over and she had to go back to work. Lu Qingjiu asked her if she had any plans for National Day. Zhu Miaomiao smiled bitterly and said that she would definitely have to work overtime during National Day, and the next time she would come would probably be New Year's Day.
Lu Qingjiu sent her on the train before returning home, only to find Yin Xun sulking in the yard. Unlike Bai Yuehu, Yin Xun's mood was always visible on his face. Upon hearing Lu Qingjiu's return, he cried out in frustration, "Jiu'er, I'm afraid I can't take care of that cow anymore."
Lu Qingjiu said, "What's the matter?"
Yin Xun said, "He won't eat anything I feed him."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't want to eat it?" He remembered that Bai Yuehu seemed to have said that it only needed to be fed with grass. "Where's Yuehu?"
"I don't know." Yin Xun rubbed his nose. "It seems like he was called out by someone just now."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Since it doesn't eat grass, why not feed it something else?"
Yin Xun said, "What are you talking about?"
Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment and said, "I remember that cows and other animals like to eat fruits. Don't we have apples at home? Let's try them."
Yin Xun said, "Fuck, feeding it apples, is that such a luxury?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "The apples are so sour, you don't want to eat them, do you?" The apples were bought from the town a few days ago. They were different from the ones grown at home. These apples looked bright red, but they tasted bland. Not to mention Yin Xun, even the Baiyue Fox, who was never picky about food, had no interest in them. Lu Qingjiu originally planned to feed them to Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua, but it didn't matter if he gave them to Niu Niu now.
Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu took the apples to the cowshed, which was next to the pigpen. Fortunately, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua were asleep at this time, otherwise they would definitely be upset if they saw Lu Qingjiu using their apples to feed the cows.
Lu Qingjiu fed the apple to Niu Niu's mouth. Niu Niu glanced at the apple, opened his mouth and bit the apple, chewing it into pieces in two bites and swallowing it. After eating, he smacked his lips, and the big watery eyes on his face stared at the other apples in Lu Qingjiu's hand, obviously wanting to eat more.
Lu Qingjiu simply put them all on the ground in front of it and watched it chew them happily. The only big eye on its face curved into a curved arc, and with its long eyelashes, it looked really cute.
Yin Xun stood by and watched Niu Niu chewing an apple, sighing with vicissitudes of life: "This person really can't be single for too long. If he is single for too long, even a cow will look handsome."
Lu Qingjiu: “…” It’s still a cow.
The calf ate its fill, burped, and then lay down in the cowshed. It looked tired and wanted to rest.
Lu Qingjiu turned to Yin Xun and said, "Let's go, let's go back and rest."
Yin Xun nodded.
No one knew what Bai Yuehu had gone for. He did not come back all night. The next morning, Lu Qingjiu saw him push the door open from outside the yard at around six o'clock.
Lu Qingjiu was making dumplings for this morning and greeted him, "You're back."
"Yes." White Moon Fox said, "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "You can eat some fruit first. The dumplings will have to wait a while."
Bai Yuehu agreed.
After Lu Qingjiu finished cooking the dumplings, he took the basin to the cowshed to squeeze out some milk. The cow was quite obedient and stood there for Lu Qingjiu to milk. The milk on the market now looks thinner because it has been crushed and sterilized, but this problem does not exist with the milk produced in the farm. Lu Qingjiu remembered that the milk he drank as a child was the freshest kind. After boiling, this kind of milk had a thick layer of milk skin, and it was full of milk flavor and very fragrant.
After going to the city, Lu Qingjiu never drank this kind of milk again. Now that he saw it again, he missed it a little.
While milking, Lu Qingjiu noticed that the milk had a different aroma than ordinary milk. He sniffed it carefully and discovered that it actually had a light apple aroma. At first, Lu Qingjiu thought he had misheard it, but when he returned to the house with the milk, Yin Xun, who had just arrived, said, "This milk smells so good! Why does it smell like apple?"
"Really? I thought I smelled it wrongly." Lu Qingjiu was also a little surprised.
Bai Yuehu didn't react much, but asked, "Did you feed him apples yesterday?"
"Yes." Yin Xun said, "He refused to eat grass, so we fed him some apples."
Bai Yuehu said: "That's normal."
Lu Qingjiu came to his senses after hearing this. It turned out that this Niu Niu was really different. It produced milk of the same flavor as what it ate. Yin Xun also understood this and was eager to feed Niu Niu some chocolate, but was ruthlessly stopped by Lu Qingjiu.
After all, chocolate is poisonous to many animals. What if something goes wrong if they are fed to them like this? Lu Qingjiu decided to check the habits of the cows first and then decide what flavor of milk to drink.
After boiling the milk, the fishy smell is gone, leaving behind a rich, milky aroma. Some people can't get used to drinking milk because they're not used to the fishy smell, but the milk squeezed from the cow is rich and mellow without being greasy, and instead has a hint of apple fragrance, making it incredibly delicious.
So today everyone in the family had a better life, although not much, but everyone and every animal had a glass of apple-flavored milk.
Lu Qingjiu took advantage of the break to check the things to pay attention to when raising dairy cows, but the more he checked, the more strange it seemed. He raised his head and asked Yin Xun: "Wait...wait a minute, is our dairy cow male or female?"
Yin Xun replied: "It's a male one."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Is it really a male?"
Yin Xun was obsessed with the taste of milk and didn't notice the strange look on Lu Qingjiu's face: "Of course it's a male. I saw his penis, it's so long."
Lu Qingjiu: “…” What the hell are you looking at all day long? Aren’t you afraid of getting stye?
Although Yin Xun had seen cows before, the cows in the village were all used for plowing and very few were used specifically for milk production. He had never seen them before. Seeing Lu Qingjiu's expression of dismay, he asked blankly, "What's wrong, Jiu'er?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "..." He stared at the searched information on his phone for a long time without saying anything.
Yin Xun didn't understand what was going on, so he came over to take a look. The more he looked, the wider his mouth opened, and finally his jaw dropped. "What the hell, what the hell is this?"
The information explained in great detail that there is no such thing as a male dairy cow. Only female cows in lactation can produce milk, so any bull cannot be a dairy cow. So now the question is, is the cow in their family male or female? If it is a male, why can it produce milk? If it is a female, what's the matter with the organ under its crotch?
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun looked at each other, and both felt that the taste of milk in their mouths had become more subtle. Lu Qingjiu did not dwell on it any more, but walked silently to the yard, sat down next to the resting Bai Yuehu, and said, "Moon Fox."
Bai Yuehu opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qingjiu: "Hmm?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "That...that is, that...is our cow male or female?"
Bai Yuehu: "It's a male." He said calmly, as if there was nothing wrong.
Lu Qingjiu said with difficulty: "Then the male one can still produce milk?"
Bai Yuehu blinked, as if she didn't understand what Lu Qingjiu meant.
Lu Qingjiu could only say, "Isn't milk production the job of the cow?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Not necessarily."
Lu Qingjiu: “…”
White Moon Fox said, "Who said that milk production is only done by the mother? If you are willing, I can also make you produce milk."
Lu Qingjiu's expression twisted when he heard this, and he quickly waved his hand and said no, no, he was just asking casually.
White Moon Fox said, "That cow is a male, but all of their species can produce milk, and the milk quality is very good. It's quite popular. Why, don't you like it?"
Lu Qingjiu still hadn't recovered from the shock of finding out that she could produce milk.
Bai Yuehu seemed to have misunderstood Lu Qingjiu's meaning. He blinked and said, "If you don't like it, we can just kill it and eat the meat. Although the meat is ordinary, it doesn't take up space at home."
Lu Qingjiu said: “No, no, no, his milk is very delicious, Yin Xun and I also like it very much, there is no need to kill and eat meat.”
Bai Yuehu said, "Okay, as long as you like it." He obviously didn't understand Lu Qingjiu's shock. To him, it was normal for males to produce milk, so he didn't understand what Lu Qingjiu was shocked about from beginning to end.
Lu Qingjiu went to the cowshed in a daze, and saw Yin Xun sticking his butt out and happily feeding Niu Niu chocolate. Niu Niu ate with gusto, and his short tail was wagging happily like a dog.
Yin Xun heard Lu Qingjiu's footsteps and said happily: "Jiu'er, we can drink chocolate milk now!"
Lu Qingjiu: “…”
Yin Xun said, "Why, have you asked clearly? Is he a bull or a cow?"
Lu Qingjiu said: “Bull.”
Yin Xun said, "Oh."
Lu Qingjiu thought he would say something else, but Yin Xun just said "oh" and turned his attention back to his beloved cow. Lu Qingjiu finally couldn't help but said, "Don't you want to ask why bulls can also produce milk?"
Yin Xun said: "Not really."
Lu Qingjiu was curious: "Why not?"
Yin Xundao said, "Since I came back to life, I've discovered that some things can't be explained by scientific logic. Besides, compared to my body, a milk-producing bull doesn't seem to be anything special..."
After hearing what Yin Xun said, Lu Qingjiu laughed dumbly, realizing that he had overreacted a bit. He said, "That's right."
Yin Xun said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a bull or a cow, as long as it can produce milk, it's a good cow."
Lu Qingjiu rolled up his sleeves: "Okay, let me squeeze some milk, and we'll have crispy fresh milk for afternoon tea."
Yin Xun happily revealed his adorable fangs upon hearing this and said, "You go cook, I'll do the milking. Besides, I just ate this chocolate, so it'll probably take a while for the milk to come in."
Lu Qingjiu said: “Okay, but remember to be gentle, if you use too much force the cow will feel pain.”
Yin Xun: "Don't worry, I will be gentle."
Listening to Yin Xun's words, Lu Qingjiu inexplicably felt that the content of their conversation seemed a bit... subtle.
Forget it, let’s go cook. Lu Qingjiu quickly turned around and left before he could have any weirder ideas.
The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu looked at the cow and smiled at Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu shuddered inexplicably...
