Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 47 Growing Vegetables
After hearing this, Chen Mu said;
"There is no medicine for regret, village chief, is it possible that you still want to take the fishing boat back?"

Wu Dayi twitched his eyebrows and said, "You are right, shepherd boy. I really want to return this boat. I won't sell it. It's not worth it."

Chen Mu sneered; "It's easy to talk about going back, 5 yuan."

"Damn, you really want to anger the village chief." Wu Dayi was about to vomit blood. "I sold you 5 yuan, how can you ask for [-] yuan?"

"Because the fishing boat is mine now, I can sell as much as I want."

"You, you bastard,,," Wu Dayi was so angry that his face turned black, and he managed to return his breath, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow, you shepherd boy I promised the village chief, so I can’t just keep my word.”

Chen Mu sighed; "Okay, why don't I go?"

"Then it's settled. You go back and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow morning."

"There is no need to prepare, the village chief will go into the mountain when he calls."

After hearing this, Wu Dayi nodded in satisfaction, looked at the big carp in the fish bucket again, sighed, and walked away with complicated emotions.

Chen Mu walked home with the fish bucket.

Before coming to the courtyard, Chen Mu saw Chen Xiaoyu lying on the bench under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and she actually fell asleep here.

Under the shade of the tree, Goshawk Dahui stood on the back of the bench, quietly watching the sleeping little girl, while Bumblebee lay under the bench, wagging its tail from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mu felt distressed.

During the time when he was not at home, Chen Xiaoyu probably played with these two pets, and fell asleep on the bench when he was tired from playing.

Chen Mu walked over and whispered in Chen Xiaoyu's ear;
"Wake up, little fish, dad is back."

After a while, Chen Xiaoyu rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly.Seeing that her father was back, she hugged her father's body and cried;
"Where did Papa go, Xiaoyu don't want to be alone at home, Xiaoyu wants to be Papa."

Chen Mu quickly hugged Chen Xiaoyu, and said lovingly;

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, it's all dad's fault, don't cry, okay?"

"Well, Xiaoyu doesn't cry." Chen Xiaoyu wiped away tears, and said aggrievedly, "Just now when Papa wasn't at home, Xiaoyu played with Big Hui and Bumblebee."

"Then did they bully the little fish?"

"Don't bully them, it's Xiaoyu who bullies them."

"I knew it would be like this."

Chen Mu laughed, he tapped Chen Xiaoyu's little nose with his finger, and said lovingly.

"Papa, where were you just now?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.

"Daddy went to catch fish, look at the little fish, daddy caught a big fish and came back."

When Chen Xiaoyu saw the big carp in the bucket, he changed his sad expression and said excitedly;
"Wow, what a big fish and what a rake."

Chen Mu hugged Chen Xiaoyu with one hand, and with the other hand, he picked up the big fish bucket on the ground and walked towards his backyard.

He came to the pool in the backyard and put Chen Xiaoyu down. He planned to feed the big carp and a dozen mandarin fishes he caught in the pool.The quantity of these mandarin fishes was too small, and they were not worth much if they were sold. As for this big carp, Chen Mu was not in a hurry to sell it either.

After all, such a rare big wild carp cannot be sold by the catty. He has to find those who know the goods, and then he can sell them for a good price.

After thinking about it, Chen Mu summoned the little golden dragon and put it into the pool.In this way, the fish in the pool will eat the small gold droplets spit out by the little golden dragon, which will allow these fish to continue to grow in size, so that they can be sold at a better price.

It was also a coincidence that the little golden dragon had just been put into the pool, and after a while, it began to spit out little golden drops.

This time, the little golden dragon spit out a lot of small gold droplets. The difference from before is that these small gold droplets are very small particles, so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye.

Those small gold droplets are suspended in the water, just like small golden scum, shining golden.

Seeing those little golden drops, the mandarin fish and big carp in the pool started to fight and devour them, and even the salamander lying on the bottom of the water was ready to move.But since the little gold droplets are all suspended in the water layer, the giant salamander can't eat them at all, so it can only look anxiously.

With small gold drops, these fish in the fish pond will continue to grow up in a short time.Including the already big carp king, he will continue to grow under the action of the little gold drop.

The current weight of this big carp is already very heavy. This size is already very rare for carp. If it continues to grow, it is hard to imagine how terrifying it will grow to be.

It would definitely not be worthwhile to sell such a big carp to the bald man in the town, so Chen Mu had to find another way.

The first person Chen Mu thought of was Yang Xi. It would be the best if he could sell the big carp to her friend who runs the hotel through her introduction.

Forget it, if Yang Xiruo comes again next time, tell her about this matter, and she should help.

It's still early now, just past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the courtyard is sunny. Some birds fly to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, chirping, and the breeze blows. Bathing in the sun makes people feel relaxed and lazy.

A few days ago, Chen Mu had refurbished the soil in the courtyard. Today, before it was too late, he was not in a hurry to make dinner. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to scatter some vegetable seeds he bought into the soil.

It is now the middle of May, and it is not far from the hottest July and August.In order to eat some heat-clearing and detoxifying vegetables in the hot summer, Chen Mu bought many types of rapeseed; there are bitter melon seeds, cucumber seeds, bean seeds and tomato seeds.

These vegetables are all grown during this time period, and they are particularly easy to grow. Just spread the rapeseed evenly in the soil.

When cucumbers and beans grow seedlings, they need to find some small bamboo poles and insert them in the vegetable field to facilitate their vines to entangle. They also need to fertilize and weed the seedlings from time to time. In July and August, vegetables can be harvested.

Chen Mu walked into the house, took out a pack of cucumber seeds he had bought earlier, and began to sow seeds in the ground.

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu, she also wants to come over to join in the fun; "Papa, what are you doing?"

"Father is growing vegetables, and the little fish will have vegetables to eat in the future."

"Rake rake, small fish also want to grow vegetables."

Chen Mu smiled wryly, handed the bag containing the rapeseed to her, and ordered;
"Remember, don't spread too much rapeseed, and don't spread too little, just like Dad did just now, you understand."

"Well, Xiaoyu understands."

Chen Xiaoyu took the bag of rapeseeds, squeezed some with his little hands, and sprinkled them vigorously into the vegetable field.Not to mention, this little girl is really good at sowing, and the rapeseeds are sown into the soil evenly.

Chen Xiaoyu worked harder and harder, and he didn't need his father, Chen Mu, to intervene.

Forget it, Chen Mu handed over the task of sowing rapeseed to Chen Xiaoyu. He found a bucket in the house, went to the pool in the backyard to get a full bucket of water, and began to sow the rapeseed bit by bit with a ladle. land watered.

"Rake rake, the seeds are gone." After a while, Chen Xiaoyu said.

"Ah, there are also carob seeds. Dad will get them for you right away."

Chen Mu put down the bucket and quickly ran into the house.

"Hurry up, rake."

. . .

Seeing that her father hadn't come out yet, Chen Xiaoyu walked to the bucket and started watering the vegetable field again.

Hey, this child wants to join in the fun of everything, she is really a hardworking little girl.
