Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 113: Grain is peeled and the husk is rice...the magical color of the dog fades away
The reason why Ji Ran brought a basket of rice was not for his uncles.

Such a precious good thing, he would never give it away to ordinary people.

Before Ji Ran went to the town office, he first went to turn millet into rice.

Because people cannot eat rice directly, the outer chaff must be removed.

Ji Ran's family used to have a rice mill, but he didn't buy it after it broke down.

When rice needs to be milled, his father will take the millet stored at home to the rice specialty store in the town.

This kind of specialty store does not sell commercial rice. They harvest rice from the countryside at a slightly higher price, and sell the rice in their own store, or even sell it on the spot.

There are two such shops in Qingfeng Town.

The business of both companies is pretty good. After all, the farmers grow their own food, which is more reassuring to eat than commercially packaged rice that has undergone industrial processing.

People from the county often come here specifically to buy rice.

At the same time, the two stores also undertake the rice milling business, and generally charge more than ten yuan for milling a load of millet.

Ji Ran went to a shop called 'Nongjia Tianyuan Original Ecological Rice Shop' where his father designated to grind rice.

The shop owner is called Huang Sheng, in his 40s, tall and thin, from Qingshui Town.

Ji Ran heard the old man say that Huang Sheng was much more practical than the owner of another shop, so he always came to Huang Sheng's shop for rice grinding.

The appearance of primary 'Golden Cancan' rice is very good, the grains are huge, full and strong, far better than ordinary millet, and it is very pleasing to look at.

Huang Sheng was very surprised when he saw the millet in the basket.

He used to be an out-and-out farmer, and later joined this industry. His knowledge of grains was naturally extraordinary. How had he ever seen such awesome grains?

"Brother, what brand of grain seeds are you planting? This basket of grains is too beautiful!"

Huang Sheng held a handful of millet in his hands and admired it carefully. He also asked in surprise when he saw Lie Xinxi.

"It's 'Huiliang Yousi Miao'." Ji Ran smiled.

Growing grains is essential knowledge for a farmer uncle. As a second-generation farmer, Ji Ran has given up business and returned to farming, so he has initially acquired this knowledge.

'Huiliangyousi Miao' is the cereal seed with the highest yield in China. In high-yield fields, with careful planting management, its yield can reach 900 kg/mu.

The yield per mu is 1800 catties, which is quite a high yield. You must know that ordinary farmers farm their own fields, and one mu yields just over a thousand catties.

But compared with the output of the junior 'Jin Cancan', it is just a little brother.

Ji Ran's bag of 'Golden Brilliant' grain seeds only planted three or four percent of the area in the field that was temporarily opened in the mountain depression. In terms of yield...

Ji Ran hasn't weighed it either, so it's estimated to be one thousand one, two or three hundred catties.

After conversion, the yield per mu reached over [-] kilograms.

"How can the grains of 'Huiliang Yousi Miao' be so thick?"

Huang Sheng understands both rice and valley, so it's not so easy for Ji Ran to deal with him.

"My fields have water all year round and plenty of fertilizers and nutrients, and I spend a lot of energy taking care of them..."

Ji Ran seriously nonsense, trying to block the past.

"Oh, that's it. This millet is so well planted. I can't see that you are young. Farming is still a good way."

Huang Sheng praised it.

Ji Ran thought it was a perfunctory matter, but in fact Huang Sheng had serious doubts.

There are two obvious doubts:
1: It's only the end of June, even if it is early rice with two crops, it will take a month or so before harvesting.

But Ji Ran's millet was obviously freshly harvested and dried in the sun.

2: The millet of 'Huiliangyousi Miao' is relatively elongated, while the millet of Jiran is much rounder.

Obviously Ji Ran is lying.

The reason why Huang Sheng didn't dig deeper was that he saw that Ji Ran didn't want to say more, so he wisely closed his mouth.

"Rumble rumble..."

Under Huang Sheng's operation, the medium-sized workshop-level electric rice mill started to work.

Huang Sheng pours the rice from the grain inlet of the machine.

Export automatic shipment...

There are two outlets, one comes out of hulled rice, and the other comes out of powdered chaff—bran!

Chaff, people should not eat this stuff.

It is very dry and astringent. Once people eat it, it is easy to cause constipation and make it difficult to stretch.

In a certain era when there was a famine, many older generations in Qingshui town were forced to eat this stuff, and as a result, they could squat forever in the pit.

The feeling was really miserable, and I wished I could use a stick to unclog it.

People do not eat chaff, but poultry and livestock do.

For example, when Mrs. Ji Ran feeds pigs, bran is added to the boiled pig food and stirred.

The nutritional value of bran is actually quite high, helping the growth of poultry and livestock and improving meat quality.

"Brother, this rice of yours is really beautiful... How much of this kind of rice does your family have? Do you want to sell it? I'll pay you five yuan a catty."

The rice snow after shelling is generally white, as if it has been polished and waxed. It really doesn't look too good.

If it is purchased finished rice, the fineness will inevitably make people wonder whether the manufacturer has engaged in some shady means.

But this one was just shelled out!

The quality of this rice can be seen by looking at a leopard in a tube.

Huang Sheng used a gourd to scoop out a gourd from the rice basket. His eyes lit up as he stared at it, feeling unbelievable.

"Boss Huang, do you think I'm the one who missed the five or eight yuan?"

Ji Ran was too lazy to talk to him, and glanced at his own Hongqi SUV parked outside the shop.

Huang Sheng suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment. He was driving a luxury car, but he actually negotiated a five-dollar deal with him...

He actually wanted someone else's rice at the price of five yuan per catty. He was afraid that they wouldn't even give him 51 catties.

In recent years, too many rich people are willing to pay high prices to buy high-quality food.

As long as the goods are really good, money is not a problem.

……

After grinding the millet, the rice is packed in a bag, the mouth is sealed, and the chaff is poured into the basket.

Put it on the car.

Ji Ran drove directly to the town with Ru Hua.

During the past few days, from time to time, he purposely went to his home to develop a relationship with Ruhua, and checked the training results by the way.

Ruhua is a purebred German Shepherd and has some spirituality, but compared with Wang Zai who has been blessed with the 'Elf' cute pet card, he is not at the same level at all.

The old man's seven-day assault training... how should I put it, the effect was very sloppy.

It doesn't matter to Ji Ran, La Ruhua was originally entangled by Li Wei and was perfunctory.

When he came to the town office, as soon as he entered the gate, Ji Ran saw Li Wei, Wang Zhi and other town office uncles surrounded by a middle-aged man who looked like a leader.

Then there was a middle-aged uncle in the yard leading a strong and powerful German shepherd.

Apparently it was a police dog.

Looking at the dog, Ji Ran immediately understood that the Ganqing police dog was brought here to compete with his family's dog.

How amazing his dog is, you will know it once you compare it.

Ji Ran originally came to fool things around today, but since the other party has even arranged for police dogs, isn't it...

Ji Ran decided to change his strategy.

"cumin……"

Seeing his car coming in, Li Wei and Wang Zhi rushed up to meet him.

When Ji Ran stopped the car, Li Wei immediately opened the door and looked at Ru Hua who was squatting in the back seat.

"Brother, you will let your dog torture that guy's dog to death later." Li Wei whispered displeased.

Oh, Li Wei and that guy still haven't dealt with each other?

But what does it have to do with him.

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Brother Li, maybe you will be disappointed."

"How?" Li Wei was taken aback.

Ji Ran shrugged and said, "That police dog has been professionally trained all year round, and often goes to the front line for actual combat. Our Wangcai is just a watchdog, how can we compare?"

Li Wei suddenly became anxious, "But your family is prosperous, isn't it amazing? It dares to go into the mountains at night, and can also find the entrance of the robbers by following the smell, and find the driving path of the car... It can chase the robbers alone , and only bite the thief's legs, disabling his ability to escape..."

"Haha, those are just coincidences... Do you really think there are some magical dogs in the world?" Ji Ran said in a nonchalant manner.

Li Wei didn't believe it, "Don't be modest, quickly get your dog out of the car, and start abusing him hard."

"If you don't believe what I say, then there's nothing you can do."

Ji Ran got off the car, took the rope, and let Ru Hua down.

Everyone also gathered around.

The leader looked at Ru Hua with great interest, and glanced at Li Wei, "Xiao Li, this dog helped you solve that theft case last time, right?"

"Yes, Wang Ju." Li Wei nodded hurriedly, thinking to himself, I don't know anything about it. I have never seen the Cumin family's wealth.

"Little brother, is your dog really so magical?" Wang Ju looked at Ji Ran with a smile.

"My Wangcai's involvement in the case is purely coincidental. Any meritorious service is all accidental." Ji Ran responded calmly.

"Let me tell you, how can there be such a powerful dog in the world! Let alone a dog that has not been professionally trained!"

The middle-aged uncle Wang Yangming, who was leading the police dog, looked proud and authentic.

Li Wei scolded him, "That's because your dog training skills are limited and you can't do it..."

Ji Ran tugged at the corner of his clothes and signaled him to stop talking.

The harsher the words in this conversation, the more embarrassing it will be later.

Wang Ju smiled and said, "Okay, it's a mule or a horse. You'll know if you take it out for a walk... Little brother, let your magical wolf dog compete with our police dog... Let us open our eyes. Long experience."

"Okay." Ji Ran nodded readily.

His new strategy - to remove the magical aspect from Wang Zai so that no one will always think about him.

I am really not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid that thieves will miss me.

Bibi is pretty good.

Wang Yangming said, "In the first match, it's about the search ability. Let's live in XZ, and whoever finds the dog first wins."

"No problem." Ji Ran agreed.

Wang Ju brought a towel from a car and let the two dogs smell it so they could remember the smell.

Then he asked Ji Ran and Wang Yangming to take the dog outside, and Wang Ju hid the towel in a random place.

Game start……

In fact, the main comparison in search is whether the dog's nose is good or not.

During the whole sniffing process, the police dog appeared to be very professional, while Ruhua was very amateur...

There was no suspense in the result, and the police dog found it first.

"Oh, the miraculous wolfhound, really miraculous." Wang Yangming glanced at Ru Hua contemptuously, and then at Li Wei.

Li Wei's face was like a pig's liver, and he was full of anger and anger. He thought that Ji Ran's dog could kill the police dog, but he didn't expect to be rubbed instead.

"The second item is obedience." Wang Yangming said again.

"Okay." Ji Ran nodded again.

Wang Yangming gave the command to the police dog, "Feihu, sit down."

The police dog sat down obediently.

"Feihu, lie down."

The police dog lay down.

"Feihu, squat."

The police dog crouched.

"Flying Tiger..."

Every order Wang Yangming gave, the police dog could immediately follow it, and the performance was perfect.

Warm applause broke out and praises came one after another.

"It's your turn." Wang Yangming raised his eyebrows and said to Ji Ran provocatively.

Ji Ran took the lead with an indifferent expression.

He touched Ruhua's head, and yelled seriously, "Wangcai, sit down."

Ru Hua looked at him blankly?
Prosperity?

Who is Wangcai?
Ji Ran continued, "Wangcai, lie down."

Ruhua is at a loss.

Ji Ran, "Wangcai..."

Ruhua is at a loss...

Li Wei's entire face was black.

Wang Yangming's expression became more and more arrogant, with disdain in his eyes, "Do you want to compete again?"

That expression, that tone of voice, is very similar to the classic "who else" shouted by the leader Feng of the Crocodile Gang at the beginning of "Kung Fu".

"Professional is professional after all, I don't think there is any need to compare."

Wang Ju patted Ji Ran on the shoulder and smiled kindly, "Little brother, no matter how your dog behaves today, you can't deny its contribution to the theft... On behalf of all Jiang Xin's uncles, Thank you for it, and thank you."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Wang Ju is too polite. It was my own house that was stolen. Wangcai just did what he was supposed to do."

……

The competition ended here, the police dog won the first round, and the police dog won the second round with a crushing momentum.

The magical color of Ji Ran's dog has faded away.

Wang Ju left disappointed, and Wang Yangming left with the police dog.

Ji Ran also got in the car and left.

The goal was achieved, and he was in a great mood.

In the main courtyard of the town, all the other uncles dispersed, leaving only Li Wei and Wang Zhi in place.

Li Wei sat down on the hood of a police car, smoking a cigarette.

In fact, he and that Wang Yangming didn't have any quarrel, it was just that when they were chatting earlier, there was an unpleasant verbal quarrel.

Li Wei firmly believes that Ji Ran's dog is very magical, but Wang Yangming is very disdainful.

As the most senior dog trainer in the county bureau, Wang Yangming knows dogs very well, and his disdain is justified.

He felt that Li Wei had seriously deified a certain dog.

As the two talked, they clashed verbally...

Wang Zhi stood aside, looking at the sullen Li Wei, "Master, it's hot and sunny outside, let's go up."

"No, no..."

Li Wei ignored him, thinking about something and muttering to himself.

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhi asked doubtfully.

Li Wei continued to think about it and said to himself, "That day we sent 'Ghost Hand Seven' to the hospital. The doctor said that the wounds on 'Ghost Hand Seven''s feet were indeed caused by ferocious dogs... But none of us had any problem. I’ve seen Cumin’s dog... Cumin is always guarding me as much as he is guarding against thieves..."

Listening to his nagging, Wang Zhi gradually understood, "Master, are you saying that the dog that Cumin brought over just now is not his family's dog? Did he get it from somewhere else to perfuse us?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Cumin has more than one dog." Li Wei took a long puff of cigarette, his eyes flashing, "But I think there is a high possibility that the dog just now was not that magical dog!"

Wang Zhidao said, "Taken together, I agree with your judgment."

Li Wei flicked the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and complained depressingly, "Cumin is such a bastard, he's bringing other dogs to fool me, shit!"

……

On the way to the farmer's market by car, Ji Ran sneezed for no reason.

He thought he had fooled Li Wei, but he ignored Li Wei's occupation. He was a criminal investigator and the captain of the town office.

Generally, few people in that position are vegetarians.

I went to the market and bought a few catties of fresh beef.

"Ruhua, you did well today. This is your reward."

Ji Ran smiled and stroked the dog's head, Ruhua performed badly today, he was very satisfied.

Ruhua is no longer in a daze now, she sticks out her tongue, and Ha Sezi dribbles.

Ji Ran asked Liu Wenjing for her home phone number, and if the flowers were used up, the dogs would be returned.

Back home, lunch time.

After eating at home, leave the chaff, and take the old man's big burning knife.

Mi's words have not been given to the second elder for the time being.

There is still a lot of gold in the golden millet, so there is no rush for this basket.

Ji Ran has his plans.

Take a nap.

It was more than two o'clock when I woke up.

Ji Ran was busy in the kitchen.

The firewood was lit, the iron pot was put on the shelf, and two catties of rice were poured in.

Saute until fragrant.

Put one catty into a mineral water bottle, pour it into a burning knife, and tighten the bottle cap.

Grind it into powder.

Then there are two pounds of unfried rice, one pound soaked in wine and one pound ground into flour.

Corn powder, wheat powder, etc., plus drawing powder, and fried rice powder are used to make bait...with the same formula, the same ratio, and unfried rice powder...

It will take some time to soak the rice in wine, but the bait is available at any time.

Ji Ran was wondering if he should take his daughter for a night fishing trip tonight?
By the way, let's try to replace the bait of fragrant wheatgrass powder with 'jincancan' rice powder. What is the effect?
Isn't the younger sister eagerly looking forward to his development of new baits for other fish species?
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, I brought my daughter back.

Go home first, and let the two elders come to Youranju for dinner at night.

Ji Ling and Liu Wenjing had not returned from a live broadcast, so they sent a WeChat message to each of them.

Leisurely living.

With smoke rising from the kitchen, Ji Ran and Douhua were busy in the kitchen.

Ji Ran purposely did not use a rice cooker for cooking this time, and used a pressure cooker that cooks more deliciously, but will burn if not careful, and burn firewood.

As time went by, the two small holes in the middle of the pressure cooker lid began to emit heat.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi, the heat is getting bigger and bigger...

"Dad, it smells so good. Why is today's rice so delicious..." Douhua's nose twitched and he swallowed.
