Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 77
The two were about to get into the car when they suddenly heard someone calling Zhou Xiaobai from behind, "Miss Xiaobai..."

Zhou Xiaobai stopped to take a look, but when he saw shopkeeper Yan coming panting, he got out of the car and went to meet him.Shopkeeper Yan said hello to his young master before turning to Zhou Xiaobai. "Miss Xiaobai, you travel really fast. I just arrived at your house. I heard from your grandfather that you just left for the town. I thought I would meet you on the road, but I didn't expect that I, the driver, would not be able to catch up with you." walking."

Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red. How could she let others know that she ran all the way here just now because she was in a hurry to see Shang Luoran.Quickly changed the topic, "Shopkeeper Yan, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Speaking of business, Shopkeeper Yan stopped being gossipy and curious, "Hey, Miss Xiaobai, you were right when you told me to buy all your mung beans. It's a pity that I don't know the goods, so I just made an order first. To the point, who would have thought that in just one day, about ten catties have been used up, and the remaining tens of catties may not be long enough. This old man licked his face and begged Miss Xiaobai to sell the rest to me. "

Zhou Xiaobai expected that mung bean paste would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. How could ten catties of mung beans be sold out in one day? "Shopkeeper Yan, don't worry, I keep all the mung beans left. You can ask brother Huzi to come to my house to get them anytime, but my house only has 150 catties."

what!Upon hearing that Zhou Xiaobai's family weighed 150 catties, shopkeeper Yan's face became bitter.This is obviously not enough!According to the current momentum, at least [-] catties a day is enough, so what to do with the rest!
Just as Shang Luoran was about to open his mouth, Zhou Xiaobai comforted him, "Shopkeeper Yan, although my family doesn't have that many mung beans, and the mung beans are not on the market now, but I think there should be some old ones in stock."

Shopkeeper Yan is also a shrewd person. He was just confused for a moment just now. I didn't expect this. After being mentioned by Zhou Xiaobai, he immediately became clear.Yes, although the material of the old mung beans is not as good as that brought by Miss Xiaobai, at least it is still usable.Just like tea, mung bean paste can also be divided into three, six, and nine grades. In this case, not only can it sell more, but the sales volume must also be better.

Shopkeeper Yan, who wanted to understand this truth, thanked Zhou Xiaobai, and then hurriedly got busy with mung beans.

After hearing Zhou Xiaobai's words, Shang Luoran's eyes on her changed a little bit. He really didn't expect that she would coincide with him again.I thought I was already very talented in business, but I didn't expect that a little girl born in a peasant family would have such a mind, which is really not easy.I partnered with her to raise fish, or it was really right, I hope she can continue to bring me more surprises.

This time it was Zhou Xiaobai's turn to call out Shang Luoran who was in deep thought, "Luo Ran, let's go." Zhou Xiaobai had already got into the carriage and looked at Shang Luoran with a smile.

Shang Luoran also quickly jumped into the carriage and was about to leave.Zhou Xiaobai quickly stopped, "Luo Ran, is it just the two of us?"

"Yes? Why not?" Shang Luoran asked her in surprise.

Looking at Shang Luoran sitting in front of the carriage, holding the rein, Zhou Xiaobai still felt a little confused, "Just the two of us, who will drive the carriage."

Zhou Xiaobai was in a daze, and looked at Shang Luoran amused for a while, it turned out that this little girl was worried about this problem. "Don't worry, I will be able to drive a car when I am 12 years old." As he spoke, he raised his whip, and the car started slowly.

Looking at Shang Luoran skillfully waving his horsewhip, Zhou Xiaobai still felt a little unreal. He felt that a fairy-like person should just sit in a carriage drinking tea and looking at the scenery, or just sitting in a teahouse and chatting with others. How can you drive by yourself?
The carriage moved forward very smoothly, and Shang Luoran thought it was not a lie to say that he was driving a carriage at the age of 12, "Luo Ran, you are a young master, how can you drive a carriage?" Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help asking.

Shang Luoran didn't look back, and the voice came from the front, "Don't think that I'm the kind of young master from a rich family who doesn't work hard. In fact, I came out to walk the rivers and lakes very early." Zhou Xiaobai smiled "puchi" and walked the rivers and lakes .

The atmosphere between the two became active as soon as the joke was made, and Zhou Xiaobai would not blush at every turn. It seems that this handsome guy still needs to watch it every day, so that his immunity will be strengthened.Originally, there was not much age difference between the two of them, Zhou Xiaobai had a lively personality, and Shang Luoran, although young and mature, was still young after all.

Under Zhou Xiaobai's repeated teasing, he couldn't help but laugh again and again.Zhou Xiaobai was sitting in the carriage behind, watching Shang Luoran's "twittering flowers" with a smile, although he couldn't see Shang Luoran's expression, but his heart was sweet.

"Here, it's here." Shang Luoran reined in the carriage and stopped. He wanted to help Zhou Xiaobai down, but saw that she had jumped down and was smiling at him.Shang Luoran couldn't help but smile back.I really don't know why this little girl loves to laugh so much all day long, so I can't help laughing.I feel that the number of times I laughed along the way was more than I laughed at home in a month.She really is a natural pistachio.

Just now she told herself to laugh all the way, but this time she made fun of herself.Shang Luoran pointed to a hill in front, "Xiaobai, this is the place I'm talking about. Look at the beauty here. Every time I'm in a bad mood, I always come here."

Following the direction of Shang Luoran's finger, Zhou Xiaobai looked forward, and the hills in the distance were unevenly undulating, far and near in the misty clouds and smoke, and the greenery covered the entire mountain forest.

Zhou Xiaobai completely forgot the purpose of coming, and his whole body and mind were suddenly immersed in this mountain forest.Although I am also a person who often goes up the mountain, that is completely different from here.The green here is so pure that she seems to have forgotten everything.It was Shang Luoran's questioning beside her that brought her back to reality. "Xiaobai, what do you think about digging a fish pond here to raise fish?"

Well, it turned out that he brought himself here to find a fish pond.Zhou Xiaobai had completely forgotten why he came here, and almost thought it was just a date for fun.Zhou Xiaobai squatted down and carefully observed the geographical features here to conceal the agitation in his heart.

But the more she looked, the more she frowned.He found a flat stone from the side and dug it on the ground.It wasn't until I dug a foot deep and touched the soil inside that I straightened up and shook my head, "Luo Ran, this place is not suitable for raising fish."

Not suitable for fish farming, Shang Luoran wondered.He discovered this place a long time ago. Every time he is in a bad mood, he always likes to come here. Feeling the fresh air here will improve his mood.This time, it was for the sake of raising fish, so I reluctantly parted with it, and wanted to contribute this place, but why did Zhou Xiaobai say that this place is not possible?

Although Zhou Xiaobai is half-baked, he has at least been in a fish farm for a while, so he still has some basic knowledge.Seeing the puzzlement on Shang Luoran's face, she told him.The environment here is very dry, so Shang Luoran specially found a place with a water source, which is not wrong.

But after Zhou Xiaobai's observation just now, the land here is very fertile, but that's the bad thing about being fertile.Just now Zhou Xiaobai touched it with his hands and found that the soil here is too sticky. Although a pond with clayy soil has good water retention, it is easy to harden and the air is poor. Fish can't breathe, so it is naturally impossible.

Explaining this truth to Shang Luoran, he was puzzled, "If you dig a fish pond in sandy soil, wouldn't the water leak out?"

Sure enough, he is a smart person who knows how to infer other things from one instance. Zhou Xiaobai smiled approvingly, "That's right, so now we are looking for a soil that is between these two types of soil. Water doesn't go away."

Seeing what Zhou Xiaobai said so clearly, Shang Luoran was really glad that he had found the right person. He really didn't expect that digging a pond would require so much attention.I'm just very curious, where did Zhou Xiaobai understand these principles.

I didn't know before, but this time I knew what kind of soil was needed, and Shang Luoran quickly found the corresponding place.After repeated inspections by him and Zhou Xiaobai, they decided to open the fish pond here.

But they had another dispute over the size of the fish pond.Zhou Xiaobai suggested digging a small pond first, and then digging a larger pond when it reaches a larger scale, but Shang Luoran insisted on digging a larger pond directly, which would save effort and trouble.In the end, after discussion between the two, two ponds were dug, one large and one small.Small ponds can be used initially as fry breeding places.

Both of them were activists, and called workers to dig the same day.Zhou Xiaobai didn't stay idle either, he kept looking at how to dig, how much and how deep to dig, which is all very particular.Shang Luoran didn't know, so Zhou Xiaobai was in charge.At first, although the workers felt that it was a bit dissatisfied to ask a young girl to command, the boss was the one who paid the money, so they followed her request.

Halfway through the digging, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly exclaimed, "Luo Ran, have you rented this land yet? Don't be driven away just after we dug it."

Shang Luoran smiled inwardly, this little girl actually remembered to ask this question now, "Don't worry, I have already arranged these things."

Only then did Zhou Xiaobai feel relieved, as expected it would be much easier to do things with money.With more hands and more strength, digging the pond is not too difficult a job. It took half a day and the pond was almost dug up before it was dark.

Shang Luoran was anxious to pour water into it, but Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly stopped him.
