Chapter 36 Return to the Black Market



The cages for hares and pheasants each occupy 100 square meters, and the fish pond is about 15 square meters, which means that the plannable space is less than 900 square meters, or about 1.3 acres of land.

Xu Jianguo thought about it and began to divide the land with his mind. He planned 700 square meters of land as a crop planting area. He also built several earth walls on the remaining less than 200 square meters of land, preparing to use it to raise pigs, cattle and sheep. After the scale of breeding is increased, he plans to ban the wild rabbit family and use it all to raise pigs.

In the livestock breeding area now, there is only one wild deer standing there alone.

Xu Jianguo brought well water to irrigate the land in the livestock area. The green grass that grew there would be food for the wild deer for some time to come.

After all, pork will be considered hard currency for a long time to come, and in the future there will be opportunities to engage in breeding with the villagers and make a fortune together.

Nearly two hours later, Xu Jianguo finally planted all the seeds in the ground. However, due to the limitation of cultivated area, he mainly planted wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and cotton. Other vegetables were only planted sporadically. After all, the flow of time here is 60 times faster. In the outside world, it takes three or four days for these crops to mature and be picked.

Looking at the land that has already sprouted, Xu Jianguo feels full of a sense of accomplishment.

There are two things to consider next. The first is how to sell these things, and the second is where to get some piglets, calves and lambs. After all, for a long time to come, the price of meat will be far higher than that of grain.

"It seems I have to go to the black market in a few days to see if I can find a market for it." Xu Jianguo thought to himself.

After leaving the space, he looked at Fu Niu beside him. She was still lying there with her arms and legs spread out as usual. After covering her with the quilt, Xu Jianguo fell into a deep sleep.

In the next few days, Xu Jianguo and Funiu lived a very ordinary life. He went to work on time every day and was responsible for distributing farm tools, but he did not see Li Jinlong. I guess the beating he received before was enough to keep him lying down for a while.

Village chief Li Mancang also gave Xu Jianguo two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes that his wife made for Funniu. The fabrics were very beautiful and Zhang Meijuan's craftsmanship was very good. She also specially made the clothes and shoes a little bigger because children grow fast and they can be worn for longer periods of time.

Every night before going to bed, Xu Jianguo would enter the space to check the growth of crops. Looking at the plump ears of rice and wheat, as well as the white cotton, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Since it was Xu Jianguo's first time planting rice, he almost made a big mistake during heading and pollination. He only found out about this after he specifically consulted Li Mancang.

In order to ensure the smooth maturation of the crops, Xu Jianguo went to the county's waste recycling station and found three broken wooden boxes to use as beehives. He then went up the mountain and removed several beehives before he solved the problem.

What is surprising is that the number of members of the hare family has exceeded 80, which has also caused the amount of corn in Xu Jianguo's warehouse to decrease rapidly.

In order to reduce food input, he executed 60 of them last night and adjusted the time flow rate in the rabbit cage to normal speed, synchronized with the outside world.

There were quite a few members in the pheasant family, more than 30 in total, and Xu Jianguo killed 20 of them.

He placed the processed rabbit meat and pheasant meat in the utility room of the courtyard, where the time, temperature and humidity are constant, and the meat is always fresh no matter when taken out.

He placed the cleaned rabbit fur on the kang in the main room, planning to wait until the weather got cold so that he could find someone to make clothes, shoes and hats for Funiu.

After coaxing Funniu to sleep at night, Xu Jianguo entered the storage space. Today was his harvest day, so he was particularly excited.

With a thought, the husked rice grains, ground wheat, rubbed corn kernels and clusters of cotton automatically fell into the sacks prepared in advance by Xu Jianguo. Thanks to the existence of the system, Xu Jianguo omitted the process of drying the grain.

In four days, Xu Jianguo harvested 300 kilograms of rice, 240 kilograms of flour, 340 kilograms of corn kernels, and 60 kilograms of cotton.

Xu Jianguo didn't expect that he could harvest so much from the ordinary low-yield seeds. He thought this must be the effect of the space well water.

A lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes were also harvested. Xu Jianguo didn't weigh the exact number of pounds. Anyway, he planned to keep these for himself.

After storing all the harvest, Xu Jianguo took the remaining rice husks, wheat ears, straw, corn cobs, etc. from the fields to the livestock breeding area for future use.

Driven by Xu Jianguo's ideas, the second batch of crops was planted in the field again.

Xu Jianguo maintained a rhythm of harvesting one wave of grain and one wave of vegetables. In just over ten days, he harvested thousands of kilograms of grain and vegetables, as well as more than ten kilograms of honey.

Looking at the piles of grain and vegetables, Xu Jianguo was overjoyed.

That day, Li Mancang found Xu Jianguo and told him that Meifeng had returned from the hospital. He asked Li Mancang to go back and have a good rest and start the autumn harvest in three days.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo returned the warehouse key to Li Mancang and asked for leave from him, saying that he was going to the county town.

The next morning, Xu Jianguo sent Funniu to Li Mancang's house and asked Zhang Meijuan to help take care of her. The little girl wore a blue outfit with white dots, a pair of small flower shoes on her feet, and held Xiao Hei in her arms. She walked with a gait that showed she didn't recognize any relatives, which made Xu Jianguo laugh and cry.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Meijuan and others, Xu Jianguo headed towards the county town carrying a bamboo basket.

After nearly two hours, Xu Jianguo arrived at Fu'an County again. In fact, with his current physical condition, if he ran at full speed, he could reach the destination in less than an hour. However, after leaving the mountains, there were people coming and going on the road. If he really ran, he would probably be taken away for sliced ​​and studied tomorrow.

He turned into Wuyi Lane, painted his face black again, and came to the gate of the courtyard where the black market was located as if he was familiar with the place. The two young men who had been there were still standing there, vigilantly observing the situation around them.

Seeing Xu Jianguo's impressive face, one of the young men said with a smile: "Little brother, are you here to sell things again?"

"Yes, big brother."

"Old rules, just pay the money and go in directly."

"No hurry, I want to ask you something."

"Okay, but my information isn't cheap."

"Sure, sure!"

Xu Jianguo took out a dollar and handed it to him, then asked, "Brother, do you know anyone who collects grain?"

"Collecting grain? Can't you just go in and sell it?"

"I'm talking about large quantities."

"Large quantities? How much? Don't fool me!" The young man stood up straight after hearing what Xu Jianguo said.

"I don't need to lie to you! I can't tell you exactly how much, but it's a lot anyway. Do you know anyone there?"

"Wait a moment!" The young man turned to the person next to him and said, "Xiao Liu, watch here!" Then he said to Xu Jianguo, "Follow me!"
