Chapter 74 Farmhouse Fun

Yuan Tingchuan had seen many gardens. He had a large garden at home and often held cocktail parties there. He knew a lot of exotic flowers and plants, but he didn't know about common vegetables like this one.

Yuan Tingchuan squatted down and carefully observed the small vegetable garden. Suddenly, he shouted like a child: "Hey, I know this. It's a cucumber. It's this long. Oh, by the way, I've seen the picture."

Du Ruo was not as "unsophisticated" as him. She used to go to farmhouses all the time. At first, she thought everything was new, but later she just wanted to see the fresh fruits and vegetables. She also liked the tranquility of the village, and when she felt unhappy, she was willing to stay there for a while.

Du Ruo saw Wang Saozi killing a chicken and was about to pluck its feathers when she brought it over. She said, "Wang Saozi, you don't have to cook anything else. Just pick some fresh vegetables for us to cook. It's best to keep the original flavor so that we can eat it fresh."

Mrs. Wang didn't understand yet, but Old Lady Wang understood. She knew that the man gave her so much money not for the luxury of eating fish and meat, but for the fresh vegetables from his small garden.

This is easy. Not to mention that they gave 50 yuan, even 5 yuan can buy a bag. How much can they eat?

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lady. We can't cook any famous dishes you want. Let's have some farm dishes. We are good at them and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Seeing that the old lady understood what she meant, Du Ruo stopped talking. Turning around, she saw the boss staring at the cucumber from left to right, so she picked two tender ones, went into the house to wash them, brought them back and handed one to Yuan Tingchuan.

Yuan Tingchuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the whole cucumber in his hand. Don't you need to cut it? How can you eat it?

When he looked up, he saw Du Ruo had already taken a bite with a "crunch". Yuan Tingchuan became interested, so he took the cucumber and took a bite as well.

After taking a bite, he couldn't help but pause. It was really delicious and especially fragrant. Why didn't he realize that cucumber was so delicious before?

Yuan Tingchuan looked at the small garden thoughtfully, and then looked at the farmyard, which was quite interesting. He thought and said, "We can create a tourism theme project, that is, to visit the farm. Of course, it must be built on a certain scale, and it cannot be so scattered. Well, it can be built in the form of a villa, which is convenient for management."

Du Ruo looked at the boss in front of her, who was crunching a cucumber and talking about his new project. She couldn't help but accept it. She just invited the boss to have a farm meal and he could come up with the idea of ​​farm fun.

Yuan Tingchuan heard Du Ruo mutter, and his eyes lit up: "Not bad, it should be called Farmhouse Fun, simple, straightforward and down-to-earth, so that people know what to do when they hear it. Not bad, this project is called Farmhouse Fun."

Du Ruo twitched her lips. She really didn't mean it.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tingchuan said, "I plan to make this project my personal investment project. Do you plan to invest in it?"

Du Ruo's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing? This is simply following the boss to make money.

She said, "Okay, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Yuan Tingchuan said thoughtfully: "I still need to think about the specific matters, and I will talk about it when the time comes."

This is in line with Yuan Tingchuan's personality. He has always been a meticulous person and will not talk nonsense unless it makes sense.

To pluck the chicken feathers, you need to use hot water. When the hot water is poured on the rooster, a smell comes out. Yuan Tingchuan frowned. The old lady was very perceptive. She said, "You two should go to the east end of the village. There is a land temple and a stream there. It's quite interesting. You can go for a walk."

Yuan Tingchuan nodded and motioned Du Ruo to go and take a look. Since he had the idea of ​​running a farm stay, he wanted to take a good look around the countryside and get to know the situation.

The two walked towards the east end of the village and saw fruit tree seedlings planted in the yards of several households. Du Ruo said, "We can also plant some fruit tree seedlings and sell the fruits to tourists, which is also a source of income."

Yuan Tingchuan nodded and smiled, "That's true." He saw that there were people raising cattle in front of him, and thought, "We can also raise a few dairy cows and provide fresh milk for tourists to drink. The cows can be raised on the lawn, which can also be more interesting."

Yuan Tingchuan paused and said, "Is it a bit of a downer for me to talk about work at this time?"

Du Ruo stopped and said, "Why do you feel so sad? Do I need to build an embroidery building for you?"

Hearing her say this, Yuan Tingchuan smiled. He looked at Du Ruo and felt a little emotional. His thoughts just now were probably what people call the fear of gain and loss in love. Love brings worry and fear.

The two of them walked all the way to the east end of the village, and sure enough, there was a small land temple. The temple was not big, and one could see the end at a glance. To get in, one had to bend down slightly. Inside was a small altar with a small incense burner on it, and on the altar there was a statue of a god with the paint peeling off.

Only two people could stand side by side in front of the altar. Yuan Tingchuan bowed and slowly walked behind the statue. He looked inside and found that the statue's abdomen had been smashed open and everything inside had been emptied.

Du Ruo also saw it. She nodded and said, "It seems that this statue is quite old. Everything inside has been stolen."

She looked at the incense burner on the altar again. Yuan Tingchuan leaned over to take a look and said, "It's not something rare. It's just an ordinary incense burner."

Du Ruo nodded, Yuan Tingchuan's vision was still trustworthy.

The two people left the land temple and walked slowly along the lawn to the stream next to it. The water of the stream was so clear that you could see the bottom, and the fish in the water were swimming leisurely in it.

There was a child upstream with a small net bag, probably catching fish. The two of them walked over and saw that there were already several crucian carps in the shabby small bucket.

Du Ruo said, "This farm-fried crucian carp is also very delicious. How about buying two to try?"

Yuan Tingchuan was also very interested. Du Ruo called the boy who was fishing and handed him five yuan: "I'll buy these fish, okay?"

The child was delighted: "Okay, do you want more? I'll get you a few more."

Du Ruo shook his head and said, "No, these few are enough."

The child was a little disappointed. He said, "Where do you live? How can I bring the fish to you? Otherwise, how can you pack it?"

Du Ruo thought so too. She and Yuan Tingchuan led the way and arrived at Aunt Wang's house. The child smiled and said, "This is my second aunt's house. Why do you live here? Are you a relative of ours?"

Du Ruo shook his head: "No, I just stopped by to have a meal."

She said to Wang's wife who came to meet her, "I bought a few crucian carps. Please fry two for us and give the rest to you."

Mrs. Wang happily agreed, took the fish to the kitchen to clean it up, and quietly called the boy to have dinner here in the evening.
