Chapter 187 Director Calls
Fox Sibao's round belly growled, and his eyes, like black grapes, looked pitifully at the basket in Xu Ying's hand.
[Who wants to steal food?]
The fox boss raised his head, but his ears twitched unconsciously. "I'm just here to check the safety of the vegetable patch!"
While it said this, the tip of its tail quietly hooked onto a fallen tomato.
Fox Sansan licked his paw gracefully when he suddenly saw his own reflection in the bucket: "Oh, the wind and sand have messed up my fur!"
It immediately began to comb the fur around its ears with its paws.
Fox Xiaowu jumped directly to Xu Ying's feet and rubbed her boots affectionately: [Sister Xu is so beautiful today~]
Its big watery eyes were staring at the spinach in the basket.
"I have to treat myself today."
Xu Ying smiled, bent down and touched the heads of the five little foxes one by one, and put the vegetables into the basket.
She deliberately went around the corner and took out a handful of lamb skewers from a small refrigerator. She bought them directly from a fellow sheep farmer in Dongqing Village. The skewers were large in size, good in quality and not expensive.
Fox Sibao's nose twitched immediately, and his saliva dripped onto the ground.
Fox Erniu quickly covered its mouth with his paw: "Mind your image!"
In the simple kitchen of the rescue station, Xu Ying was processing the ingredients skillfully.
Five little foxes squatted neatly on the windowsill and watched.
When the kitchen knife made a crisp sound on the chopping board, Fox Xiaowu shrank his neck in fear, and was swept away by the fox boss with his tail in disgust.
"That guy Liu Kai must be starving from planting trees right now, right?"
A sly smile appeared on Xu Ying's lips.
The moment the garlic was sautéed, Fox Sibao couldn't help but let out a "woof", but Fox Erniu held his mouth with his paw.
When Xu Ying put the stir-fried garlic spinach into the insulated box, she deliberately left a small bowl of spinach without garlic on the windowsill: "Would some of the greedy little ones want to try it?"
Garlic contains compounds such as disulfide, which may cause hemolytic anemia in pets such as cats and dogs. Foxes are canines with a body structure similar to that of dogs, so Xu Ying could only let the fox cubs smell the garlic.
The five balls of fur immediately huddled together.
The fox boss walked over with a calm demeanor: [Since you are asking so sincerely]
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed away by Hu Sibao.
The fox boss was furious: [Sibao, you greedy fox!]
Fox Sibao couldn't hear anything because he had buried his head in the bowl.
The other four little ones quickly gathered around.
The five little foxes licked the bowl until it was shiny in an instant.
The desert evening breeze brought dry heat as Xu Ying walked towards the tree planting area carrying a sumptuous dinner.
A string of little tails followed behind him - the eldest fox walked in front with his head held high, Fox Erniu looked around vigilantly, Fox Sansan stopped from time to time to tidy up his hair that was messed up by the wind, Fox Sibao's nose was always following the aroma of the food box, and Fox Xiaowu followed closely beside Xu Ying's trouser legs.
From a distance, Xu Ying saw Liu Kai bending over to dig a hole.
Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even look up and said sarcastically, "Stationmaster, are you here to check on the progress again?"
"I'm not here to check."
As soon as Xu Ying finished speaking, Hu Sibao rushed to Liu Kai's feet and looked at the food box eagerly.
When Liu Kai looked up, he saw five little foxes surrounding Xu Ying.
The big fox sat on Xu Ying's left shoulder, with an attitude of "this is my territory"; the second fox squatted on the right, like a little guard; the third fox was still showing off; the fourth fox was so anxious that he was turning around in circles; and the fifth fox took the opportunity to get into Xu Ying's coat pocket.
"Is this for me?" Liu Kai stared at the food box eagerly.
Xu Ying smiled without answering, unfolded the folding chair and sat down.
When she opened the food box, five pairs of fox eyes and one pair of human eyes lit up at the same time.
The aroma of the mutton skewers made Fox Sibao stand on his hind legs and grab Xu Ying's knees with his front paws.
"Gudong"
——This time, six swallowing sounds were heard at the same time.
When Xu Ying took the first bite of the mutton, the aroma of fat came out, fragrant and spicy.
Fox Sibao let out a "woof" and collapsed to the ground. The fox boss slapped him with his tail in disgust: "You are embarrassing me!"
But I couldn't help swallowing secretly.
"Um, Stationmaster Xu."
Liu Kai was so greedy that he almost cried, begging, "Can't you give me a column?"
"Oh?" Xu Ying said slowly, "I remember someone said growing vegetables here was a fantasy?"
Liu Kai's face suddenly turned red.
These were the stupid things he said when he first came to Xu Ying's rescue station three months ago. Later, he bet with Xu Ying that her vegetable garden would not survive for more than a month.
As a result, a modern indoor farm was built directly next to the Xu Ying Rescue Station, and I didn’t have to pay for it myself. I was so envious.
"Is it not okay if I'm wrong?"
Liu Kai looked at Xu Ying eagerly as she picked up a piece of spinach with chopsticks. "Your spinach looks really good."
Xu Ying put the spinach into her mouth and chewed it exaggeratedly. "Hmm, it's tender and sweet. It's not at all like what some people say, 'vegetables grown in the desert must be bitter and astringent.'"
Liu Kai's shoulders slumped, he was really about to cry out of greed, he was tired and hungry!
He shuffled back to his backpack, pulled out a dry, hard naan, and took a pitiful bite.
The naan crumbs fell down and were swallowed by him along with the sand.
Xu Ying glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, laughing inwardly, but deliberately slowed down his eating movements.
She picked up a tomato slice, letting the sugary juice sparkle in the sunlight. "This tomato is a new variety improved by Professor Feng's company. It's extra sweet."
"It's a shame that some people look down on what a whimsical person like me can grow in the desert."
Liu Kai really couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and had lost all his strength and means.
He suddenly strode over, squatted in front of Xu Ying, and clasped his hands together: "Stationmaster Xu, Mr. Xu, I sincerely admit my mistake."
"I'm short-sighted, please don't argue with me. Considering how hard I've worked planting trees, please give me a meal. Please!"
"As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. If I'm well fed, I can plant trees faster, right?"
Xu Ying touched his chin and looked thoughtful. "That makes sense. How about this? I'll sell you a meal for fifty yuan, and you can eat out to improve your life."
Liu Kai: ...
What a pit!
So heartless!
——"I've transferred fifty yuan to you. When do you think I can eat it?"
Liu Kai held his cell phone with a humble and eager look in his eyes.
Xu Ying stood up and stretched, then prepared a meal with both meat and vegetables for Liu Kai.
As soon as Liu Kai got the food, he ate it quickly, as if he hadn't eaten hot food for eight hundred years. His speed was amazing.
Liu Kai owes Xu Ying two thousand trees, so he comes to Xu Ying every weekend to report and punch in to plant trees. He has become the second employee of the 032 Rescue Station.
It also cured his habit of speaking ill of Xu Ying and targeting Xu Ying, and he has become very honest now.
Being able to pay for meals at Xu Ying's place every week, the delicious food offset the resentment in his heart.
One morning a week later, Xu Ying received a call from the production team of the program "Desert Survival Rules".
"Hello, is this Station Master Xu?"
"I'm Shao Zhihao, the director of 'Desert Survival Rules'."
"I'm calling today to inform you..."
