"Today seemed to pass very slowly, but also seemed to pass too quickly." After closing the shop in the evening, Liu Ben couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Caiqing and He Mei also just found out that Liu Ben had attracted two big business in just one day, and they also felt it was unreal.
"Can they really purchase large quantities of goods from you?" He Mei was still a little worried.
"Of course they will. They will come to me in person and tell me that they are very interested in the agricultural products in my store. As long as they are interested, we will eventually reach a cooperation. After all, such good rice and vegetables cannot be bought anywhere else." Liu Ben said happily while driving.
After picking up Liu Lei and the other two, they bought a lot of things that day. Fortunately, Liu Ben's trunk is large and an ordinary car may not be able to fit them.
Wang Caiqing was worried: "You bought so many things, it's hard to carry them, right?"
"It's okay, they are all very convenient to carry." Liu Lei said carelessly.
Liu Rui and Liu Sen were also very relaxed. It wasn't difficult to carry a suitcase in each hand.
Liu Ben teased them: "But we can't bring the rice and vegetables from home."
The three of them froze for a moment, and then they remembered that they really had no place to store rice and vegetables.
He Mei smiled and shook her head: "Those dishes are not easy to bring with you, and even if you bring them, you can't cook them in your dormitory!"
That’s right… Thinking about not being able to eat the delicious food at home after returning to school, the three of them were in a happy mood of shopping.
Liu Rui even considered renting a place to live outside, where she could cook without the restrictions, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Rent near her school was expensive. Although her brother made a lot of money in business, it wasn't hers, and her parents weren't making much either, so they had to save money.
In two years, after graduating, I can come back to help my brother open a factory. Liu Rui's heart was rekindled with hope. When she returned home, she could always be with her family and eat such delicious food every day! For the sake of food, she would definitely work hard!
"It's indeed difficult to lead him." Liu Ben also had some thoughts in his mind.
Putting aside the fact that you can’t cook in the dormitory, it’s true that the only vegetables sold in his store are aquatic water shield and devil’s kelp, both of which are difficult to carry and inconvenient to deliver by express.
But isn't that true of all fresh vegetables, unless they've been prepared, like canned, dried, pickled, etc.
Kelp can be dried and water shield can be canned, but these operations will reduce the flavor, and Liu Ben is not planning to do so now.
If Boss Xue and You Guoguo had reached an agreement on the business, these two dishes would have no problem selling, and there would be no need to do this unnecessary work.
[The host can use the scum points to redeem the system's new Universe Invincible Fresh-keeping Machine. The fresh-keeping machine can preserve everything in a vacuum. Although it is not as powerful as the time-pause function in the system space, it can still guarantee 95% freshness within a month, meow!]
The system's sudden words startled Liu Ben who was thinking, but he was soon attracted by the system's words.
Liu Ben silently asked the system: "Will the taste and effect be compromised after preservation?"
[The flavor and efficacy will slowly decrease over the course of a month, but the decrease is within 5%. As long as it doesn't exceed a month, it should be fine.]
Liu Ben was a little tempted: "How much trash-beating value does it take?" It would be convenient to just give it to others instead of using it to sell goods.
2000 is enough~
Liu Ben almost immediately gave up the idea of exchanging it: "...It doesn't sound like much, but it's definitely not enough, right?"
[Yes, the host currently only has 896 scumbag value~]
Liu Ben: "Put it aside for now, there's no urgent need for it. I'm busy these days."
[It’s up to you, but you have to remember to prepare delicious food for me! ]
"I know, I know."
Offering tributes is simple, but Liu Ben has to start the autumn harvest first. The farm work in the space has to be put aside first, and the system's big cat has to eat the "simple meals" of his family first.
That's right, after two months, the Wushuang rice that Liu Ben rented from Quan Youbo's field has matured, and he plans to harvest it all tomorrow while the weather is good.
The three younger brothers and sisters will go to the high-speed rail station early tomorrow morning, so tonight's dinner will be very sumptuous. Not only will there be the Wushuang rice, water shield and devil kelp grown by Liu Ben, but also chicken, duck, fish and meat, just to see the three students off.
Liu Ben took the opportunity to pack some and told his grandmothers and aunts that they were going to have as a midnight snack, but in fact he turned around and fed it to the system big cat.
"You should eat more of these delicious dishes. You won't be able to eat them for a long time after you go to school tomorrow." Wang Fengjing picked up a lot of dishes for Liu Rui and Liu Sen, then looked at Liu Shuanghu with disapproval and said, "Why did you pick up so much meat for A Lei? He can't eat all of this. You should eat more delicious dishes!"
Liu Lei's bowl was filled with various meats piled high by Liu Shuanghu. When Liu Shuanghu heard what his mother said, he buried his head in his own food in embarrassment and said nothing.
Liu Lei said with a smile: "The dishes are delicious, and the meat cooked by grandma, aunt, and mom is also delicious. I eat more of them."
The family was enjoying themselves, and the kitten beside them also had the most sumptuous meal since arriving at the house. Wang Fengjing was in a good mood today, so she picked out some blanched meat that hadn't been added to the meat before, shredded it, soaked it in water shield soup, added some rice and eggs, and mixed it all together to feed the cat. Although I don't know if this is healthy, it is definitely delicious.
Because Liu Ben's attention was always drawn to the cats at the table who were busy making and eating loudly, "meow meow gurgle gurgle".
Look, the one with its tail wagging while eating is the greedy little orange cat that first ran out of the bushes; the one with fur that's always messy yet clean for some reason is a little white cat; the one eating very restlessly, spinning around the bowl while wagging its tail is a small calico cat; the one taking up a lot of space and eating with great relish is a big tabby cat; the one with food all over the place is...
Hey wait? ?
Liu Ben felt something was wrong and looked back again -
A big tabby cat squeezed in among a bunch of little kittens, eating calmly and confidently.
"Where did this big tabby cat come from?" Liu Ben wondered. "Didn't we just adopt a litter of kittens?"
"Haha," Liu Shuanghu laughed, "You just realized it? This cat has been here for free meals several times!"
Liu Ben took a bite of meat and looked at the big cat while chewing. He really just discovered it today.
"It came here by itself. I was worried that it would hurt the kittens. I didn't expect it to just come here to eat and leave after eating." Wang Fengjing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The big tabby cat eats more than the kittens. When the kittens are full and lie down, it is still cleaning up the leftover food.
After the meal was finished, the big cat looked up at the Liu family who were still eating and licked its lips. Just when Liu Ben thought it was going to come up and meow to beg for food, the tabby cat lowered its head and licked the fur of the kittens one by one, then jumped onto the bricks piled beside the courtyard wall in a few seconds, then jumped onto the top of the wall and disappeared into the night.
"Hey," Liu Ben thought thoughtfully, "Could it be the mother cat that left the kittens at our house?"
"It's very likely," Liu Sen nodded in agreement, "otherwise, we wouldn't have provoked other cats."
[Hehe, the wild cats in the mountains are really smart. They throw their cubs to your house and ask you to raise them, and they even come over from time to time to eat for free.]
Liu Ben was even more certain after hearing what the system said. It was the mother cat. Giving birth to so many kittens at once, yet being lazy and unwilling to raise them, and even stealing their food, was truly bizarre.
Wang Caiqing smiled and said, "She's not the kind of mother cat you say abandons her kittens. She often comes to see her children, right? Maybe life outside is not good, and she can't keep so many kittens."
Wang Fengjing nodded. "Indeed, and kittens this size should be ready to leave the nest. It's already quite good that she has raised so many kittens to this size. Don't look at her fighting with the kittens for food. She actually eats very slowly. She waits until the kittens are full before she finishes eating."
"And the mother cat found a good family like us to raise her babies," said Liu Rui.
"Yeah, cats are very affectionate."
Liu Ben didn't know whether what grandma and second aunt said was right. He had never raised a cat and was not familiar with cats.
He knew that the system was a big cat with a lot of bad intentions.
[Of course cats have feelings, and this system is meow!]
Liu Ben sighed to the system inwardly, "Cats can't be generalized. I know of a cat that once, in a fit of rage and shame, gave its host extremely harsh planting conditions."
[Wake up, what bad intentions can a little cat have? ]
Next time I want to have a five-star meal.
Liu Ben had a blank expression on his face. The system big cat must be the most emotionless big cat in the world.
Early the next morning, Liu Ben drove his car and took his three younger brothers and sisters and their suitcases to the high-speed rail station. The whole family had to go, and one car couldn't fit them all, so his second uncle also drove out.
My second and third uncles also have cars, but they don’t often need to drive them.
The whole family arrived at the high-speed rail station. Liu Lei, Liu Sen and Liu Rui all carried large bags in their hands and on their backs. In addition to their daily necessities, there were also many specialties prepared by their families and themselves.
Before entering the station, the three of them were still reluctant to leave.
Liu Rui sighed: "Alas, I won't be able to eat home-cooked food for at least one semester."
Liu Sen interjected: "Yeah, I haven't eaten enough."
Liu Lei scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "I brought a lot of rice and planned to cook it secretly in the dormitory."
Liu Sen and Liu Rui looked at him like a warrior. Using high-powered electrical appliances in the dormitory would trip the circuit breaker! If they were discovered...
"Come on, study hard. When you graduate and come back, you will have more than enough to eat for a lifetime!" Liu Ben said with a smile.
"Of course it's good to be back..." Liu Yibiao sighed.
Although Liu Ben once casually told them that he would lead the villagers to grow Wushuang rice, it has not started yet and everything is unknown.
Liu Ben looked at his three younger brothers and sisters entering the station and said with a smile, "Of course there will be more and more young people in the village in the future."
These are not just talk, Liu Ben wants to actually do it.
After returning, Liu Ben immediately started busying himself with the autumn harvest. The small seedlings he had planted have now grown into golden rice.
Liu Ben is very familiar with the process of harvesting rice. The rice in the space matures very quickly, and he has planted and harvested it many times.
So Liu Ben still harvested all the rice faster than anyone else and then dried the grain.
"Having a harvester is fast and convenient." Liu Ben sighed. He didn't have such a useful tool in space.
After harvesting the rice for himself and other members of the Liu family, he drove a harvester around to help others harvest rice.
Everyone grows two crops of rice, and now it's time to harvest. With the availability of harvesters, even fewer people are willing to harvest the rice manually. After all, manual harvesting requires threshing, while the harvester harvests the rice directly, which is not only faster but also saves one step.
The times are always progressing, and some traditional agricultural tools will gradually be put aside due to the development of technology, which is not a bad thing.
