Xu Ning had asked Baibaoxiang about the land in this valley. The valley was close to the sea, high above sea level, and surrounded by steep, rocky mountains. The central part of the valley was dominated by lakes and plains, with only a few forests near the base of the mountains. Therefore, there was no need to worry about tsunamis or even seawater backflow. The recent heavy rains hadn't affected the valley, so aside from earthquakes, there was probably nothing to worry about.
The fortress built by Xu Ning is earthquake-proof. Even if an earthquake occurs, there will be no big problem as long as they return to the house in time.
The valley has a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for growing two crops of rice.
Although it is already April and the weather is getting hotter, it is a bit late to sow seeds at this time, but it does not mean that sowing is impossible. If you want a good harvest, you need to increase the amount of fertilizer.
This wasn't a big deal for Xu Ning. The treasure chest refused to exchange her for future fertilizer, claiming it would damage the soil. Xu Ning didn't mind, and simply exchanged it for a thousand chickens, ducks, and geese each. She planned to set up a Dapeng farm elsewhere on the plains, which she would then leave to Old Lady Xu and Zhang.
Early in the morning, Xu Ning got up early, exchanged a bunch of agricultural machinery, and called Xu Da and his son over.
The plains in the valley were covered with green grass. To cultivate the fields, one had to weed them first, turn the soil over, and irrigate the land. So Xu Ning called Xu Da, his father, and his son to his side to help with the weeding.
The division of labor for weeding is very clear. Xu Da uses a lawn mower to weed, while the two brothers Xu An and Xu Feng are responsible for collecting the grass onto a cart and then transporting it to the breeding greenhouse to feed the livestock.
The use of the lawn mower is not complicated, but Xu Ning still watched the relevant video carefully and repeatedly emphasized the possible risks before handing it over to Xu Da with confidence.
Xu Da nervously carried the generator on his back, looked at the three brothers and sisters who were watching him carefully, swallowed, and started the lawn mower according to Xu Ning's instructions.
At first, the loud noise and vibrations of the lawn mower startled Xu. But he quickly adapted and found the machine more labor-saving and efficient than he had imagined. In less than half an hour, a large area of land that had once been covered in grass was now clean.
Xu Da wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile of excitement on his face, and he worked even harder. Seeing this, Xu Feng, unwilling to be outdone, challenged Xu An to a competition, and finally Xu Ning exchanged a small cart for him to use exclusively. With each person having a cart, they were more efficient.
After the weeding was arranged, Xu Ning went to the breeding shed.
Before the breeding shed was completed, Xu Ning marked out an area and then used her points to buy a large, simple wooden fence. Then, she, along with Old Lady Xu and Zhang, built the simple breeding area.
Next, Xu Ning prepared to exchange fodder and other supplies with Baibaoxiang. However, Baibaoxiang only gave her a portion of the fodder and again rejected her request for a ready-made warehouse, only giving her a tent as a substitute.
Xu Ning didn't care. After exchanging the tent, Xu Ning and Zhang spent an hour setting up the tent and used a cart to move the feed and other necessary items into it.
Of course, with so much grass to cut, one tent definitely couldn't hold it all. Xu Ning exchanged a lot of rainproof sheets and planned to spread them on the ground first, and then cover them with a layer of waterproof sheet after dark.
After finally dealing with the breeding shed, Xu Ning went to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan’s job is the most important, which is to check the entire valley and install wireless solar cameras in every corner around the valley.
Xu Ning was responsible for operating the drone and also installed a camera on the top of the mountain where no one could stay.
During this process, Xu Ning and Xu Yuan worked closely together to complete the construction of the monitoring system inside and outside the entire valley.
Inside the tent, a huge display screen stood before Old Man Xu, showing the images from the installed cameras. He took a sip of the pearl milk tea his granddaughter had prepared and carefully checked each image for any issues.
At this moment, Xu Ning appeared in the camera frame, waving her arms and shouting, "Grandpa, can you hear me? Is there any problem with the picture and sound quality? If so, could you please turn the camera?"
When Old Man Xu heard this, he quickly found the numbered operating lever corresponding to Xu Ning's camera and twisted it carefully. The image on the screen immediately changed its angle.
Old Man Xu was about to grin, but what he didn't expect was that when he turned around, he saw his wife walking towards Xu Ning angrily.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Xu Ning asked in surprise, looking at the person in front of him.
"Hmph! It's all because of those damn chickens, ducks and geese. More than three thousand mouths almost gnawed all my bones off." The old lady complained angrily.
"What's wrong, grandma? What's going on over there?" Xu Ning was startled and asked hurriedly. Seeing how furious Old Lady Xu was, she was confused for a moment, but she still tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, grandma, tell me slowly, what happened?"
After Xu Ning's comfort, Old Lady Xu calmed down and began to tell the story. It turned out that after Xu Ning left, she and her daughter-in-law Zhang were preparing to feed the chickens, ducks, and geese. Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pushed the cart into the fence, they found that these guys were not afraid of people at all and surrounded them directly.
At first they thought the chickens, ducks and geese were obedient, and were relieved as they pushed the feed into the fence without even closing the door. However, the next moment they were "besieged" by the group of livestock.
Old Mrs. Xu was so frightened at the time, but Zhang reacted quickly and pulled her out of the fence.
But no matter how fast they were, Old Lady Xu and Zhang were not faster than the one with wings.
In the end, although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not injured, their hair was messy and their bodies were covered with chicken feathers and feces.
But Old Lady Xu's mentality collapsed. She watched helplessly as the hungry chickens, ducks and geese scrambled to eat up the entire trailer of feed and left. Old Lady Xu was furious.
She had never been treated so harshly before, so Old Mrs. Xu simply tidied herself up and came to find Xu Ning angrily.
Xu Ning was stunned when she heard this. She thought something serious had happened, but she hadn't expected it to be this bad. However, this also showed that the chickens, ducks, and geese exchanged from the treasure chest were indeed special. Thinking of this, Xu Ning couldn't help but ask nervously, "Are you guys injured?"
Old Mrs. Xu quickly replied, "No, I was just frightened. When these chickens, ducks and geese surrounded us, they kept screaming, which scared your mother and me." Hearing that Old Mrs. Xu and Zhang were fine, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became very interested in these special chickens, ducks and geese.
Such smart chickens, ducks and geese must taste good, right?
"Grandma, call my dad later and have him kill those vicious chickens, ducks, and geese! We can make an example of them, like stewing a goose in an iron pot, roasting a duck, and boiling a chicken! What do you say?"
