The other villagers were busy drying and threshing their grain, but Liu Ben hadn't harvested anything from the previous season. With his grandfather and his three children at home, he wasn't needed for this kind of work. He happily continued to cultivate the land in his own space, planting and harvesting every day, then planting and harvesting, and in his free time, he would weed the rented fields.
Liu Zhu, who was on patrol, saw it and sighed, "Your field has more grass than other fields. It's so hot, don't get a heat stroke."
"No, I'm not afraid of the sun." Liu Ben smiled at him and continued to pull weeds.
"There's so much grass here. If you raise pigs at home, you don't have to buy feed." Liu Zhu walked to the ridge next to Liu Ben, wanting to take a break and chat with others.
"Speaking of which," Liu Ben stood up and asked him, "Zhu Zi, do you know where to buy dairy cows? I want to raise a few cows."
Others don’t know that there is much more grass stored in his space than outside. The grass is always fresh and perfect for raising cattle.
"Cows? Why do you think so? Cows are difficult to raise. You have to prepare feed for them every day. Oh, and you have to make silage if you want to preserve the grass. Then you have to pay attention to their living environment and make sure they don't get sick. You have to shovel grass for them..." Liu Zhu talked incessantly about the difficulties of raising cattle, just to dispel the impulsive idea of this young man who had just returned from the city.
"Is it true?" Liu Ben was a little hesitant after hearing what he said, but he had so much good grass, it would be a shame not to feed something.
He didn't want to raise pigs because they were too smelly, and he didn't like sheep either. After all, there were fields here, and raising sheep would most likely lead to them stealing other people's crops.
He only raises a few cows, they are so big, he keeps an eye on them, they won't damage other people's fields, after they are fed, he can milk them and drink milk, how great.
"Really, it's very difficult!" Liu Zhu affirmed.
"Well, you better keep an eye out for me. If you see any good, high-quality cows in the milking period, please let me know. I still want to take a look."
"Okay, I'll talk to other people in the village later." Liu Zhu thought that once Xiao Ben saw how dirty the cowshed was, he would no longer want to raise cattle.
Now the grass that has been collected will be silage first. Liu Ben wondered what exactly is silage?
"Silage," Wang Fengjing said as she cleaned her farm tools after hearing Liu Ben's question. "It's just chopping the grass into smaller pieces and piling it in the pit in the backyard. Or you can make another pit and dry it there. Finally, seal it tightly, press it down, and then cover it with a layer of soil. Let it ferment for a few months before using it."
"You want to raise livestock?" Liu Yibiao also heard it. He picked up the grass Liu Ben brought back, looked at it, and chewed a piece before saying, "If you raise livestock now, you can just feed them this grass directly. You can feed them silage in winter."
"If you raise cattle, you can just take them out and let them eat the weeds on the roadside. There's no need to feed them."
"That's it." Liu Ben nodded.
"What do you want to raise?" his second uncle asked him.
"I just want to raise cattle." Liu Ben helped turn over the grain that was drying in the yard. It wasn't a tiring job, but it required meticulous work.
"Not many people raise cattle nowadays. Plowing the land is good, but there are fewer people farming and the demand is smaller. Besides, there are tillers in the village." Uncle San said to Liu Ben while taking a bite of the rice crust in his hand.
Liu Ben put down the rake and turned around and said, "Raising dairy cows, milking them and drinking the milk yourself or selling it is also good."
"The cows need to be fed well. They seem to be more delicate. Crunch, crunch." This was followed by the sound of chewing rice crust.
The rice crust was leftover from lunch, and it was also the rice that Xiao Ben had brought out. Initially, the family was adamantly against sharing it, wanting him to save it and sell it, but Xiao Ben was even more adamant. He said he wasn't ready to sell the rice yet, so he let everyone share it. He also explained that the rice was a gift from a friend, old rice from last year, and that it would be better to sell it this year after planting it.
As for Chen Mi, no matter how delicious it is, a straightforward person would be embarrassed to sell it. Since Xiao Ben said so, the other people in the family didn't say anything more. It would not be good to say more.
Although Liu Shuanghu secretly said that this Wushuang rice didn't look like old rice at all, Xiao Ben must have said that in order to get them to eat it together.
He Mei patted him lightly and said softly, "Do you think you're the only one who knows? Everyone in the family knows it, but this is Xiao Ben's intention. If you refuse too many times, the family will become estranged."
Liu Shuanghu suddenly realized and nodded embarrassedly: "You are the one who understands. I am not good at these things!"
Later, everyone had a tacit understanding about the rice. As long as Xiao Ben brought out the Wushuang rice, they would cook and eat it without asking any questions.
"Crunch~" The rice crust baked at the bottom of the pot is golden and crispy. There is no seasoning added, but the more you chew it, the more addictive it becomes.
Seeing Liu Shuanghu eating with relish, Liu Shuangying couldn't help but walk towards the kitchen.
Speaking of which, no one knows what ingredients this Wushuang rice contains, but after eating it, the whole family feels full of energy and vitality. Even in the scorching July, they don't feel weak at all when busy with farm work. Even Liu Rui, who usually has a weak constitution and cannot stand the sun, has a smile on her face every day.
With such benefits, everyone has greater confidence in the Universe Unparalleled Rice seeds that Liu Ben brought out. Thinking that Xiao Ben has already planted them and they can harvest them in two months, the whole family is looking forward to it.
As for raising cattle, there is no rush. They don't have a large grassland here, so there is no nearby ranch to buy cattle.
It’s better to plant the land first. After all, the grass in the space is not afraid of rotting, and the grass outside can be stored for several years after silage.
Time flies by in such a life.
Soon, more than a month had passed since Liu Ben woke up.
That is to say, the three people who were imprisoned have been released regardless of their performance.
[Host, host, your scumbag dad and the others were released a long time ago, meow!] The system cat sat cross-legged on the edge of the field, watching the host busy inside.
Normal fields are divided into acres, but the fields in the system fields are not divided into acres. The endless expanse is just flat land.
But Liu Ben used these few days to reclaim more than ten pieces of land. With more land, he could plant more seeds at one time.
Of course, the workload has also increased.
"Oh," Liu Ben looked at the date and time on his phone and nodded, "Indeed."
Then continue to work aside.
The system cat didn't give up and continued to follow.
"Host, don't you want to take revenge on them? They're so bad, and just locking them up for a month is not enough! 】
"Well, I don't have such a strong feeling in my heart anyway." Liu Ben was telling the truth.
"How can I not feel anything, meow? Host, think about it. They beat you and abused you. Your scumbag dad used your mom's money to run his business and even betrayed her. And the money he used to run his business was given by your mom. What a scumbag!" the System Cat said excitedly.
"Well, that's true." Liu Ben continued to do his own thing.
The system cat continued to make excuses: [Hmm... and more! The house you lived in a long time ago was bought by your grandmother, so it should have been given to you, meow!]
Liu Ben paused and murmured, "Should it have been given to me?"
For some reason, Liu Ben, who didn't care about the bullying and indifference, was instead concerned about the fact that something that should have belonged to him was taken away by someone.
[Yeah, meow, that was bought by your grandma! And that jerk lived in it for a long time!]
This is not going to work, Liu Ben thought, and prepared to go ask his family.
