Xianyuan Farm

The weather continued to be cold, and the snow was not as heavy as the first day.

The golden lion snow sculpture has been erected in the corner of the square for several days, but no matter who sees this snow sculpture, it is astonishing. Its lifelike appearance and powerful and fierce appearance scare many timid people. Kids and girls.

Mei Ning, a photographer, seized the opportunity to take a picture of the Golden Lion Snow Sculpture, and then forwarded it to the Internet. It soon aroused heated discussions among netizens, who all described the beautiful scenery of snow around Honghu Village and the beauty and vividness of the snow sculptures. Many netizens plan to go to Honghu Village when they have free time.

Presumably, the rumors about the "earthquake" have been downplayed for a period of time, and netizens have lost their fear. After seeing the alluring scenery of Honghu Village, many netizens are naturally ready to make a move.

The beautiful scenery of ice and snow in the North also made Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning's family very happy. They all grew up in the south, and it was difficult to encounter such a grand occasion. So after the ice and snow subsided the next day, everyone left. Let’s visit Honghu Village at home.

Called a visit, it should be more of an inspection of Gu Hongyu's properties.

The ice and snow did not cause any harm to Gu Hongyu's industry. As for the vegetable greenhouses, because these greenhouses are relatively expensive types purchased by Gu Hongyu, they also have automatic heating devices inside, which reduces the already high temperature inside. After the room temperature increases, the snow on the roof of the greenhouse will automatically melt soon. It will not affect the £, ww♦w. collapse or damage the greenhouse, nor will it affect the growth of vegetables in the greenhouse.

The situation on the pasture is also better. The employees who manage the playground harvested a lot of grass before it snowed, and piled the several warehouses full. Even if these lambs are not sold outside this winter, the grass in the warehouse and Gu Hongyu The purchased concentrated feed can also satisfy the goats throughout the winter.

This is all due to the space spring water. In Gu Hongyu's pasture, the lawn inside is still green even in late autumn. Not only did the grass not turn yellow, each one of them still covered the ground tightly without leaving any gaps after the goats continued to eat it. It was also in this way that the grass cut down by the employees this time could meet the needs of the goats.

"The winter solstice has passed, and it's time to eat mutton. Xiaogu has raised these goats so well!" Mei's father said with great excitement as he looked at the size of the goats.

The last winter solstice happened to be the days when Mei Ning's cousin Mei Jun got married, so she missed this festival. Later, I returned to Honghu Village and heard from my parents that life in the village was quite lively. The conditions of every household in the village were very good. Many villagers had slaughtered lambs for the winter solstice.

However, Gu Hongyu also slaughtered two goats when his family moved last time, and the meat quality was indeed very good.

Now hearing what Mei's father said, Gu Hongyu also started to get greedy. He immediately pulled over the head of the staff who managed the ranch and asked him to kill one and send it to the villa later.

Father Mei saw Gu Hongyu's movements and stopped him quickly: "Xiao Gu, I just said that, I think it's better to keep these goats and sell them for money!"

Without waiting for Gu Hongyu to answer. My father said boldly: "Brother Mei, please don't worry about it. Speaking of mutton, I've been really greedy these days. I just happened to kill one and take it home to make a mutton soup pot. Besides, it's just a sheep, little one." Yu still cares about these things now, so everyone can just eat with peace of mind.”

"Yes, yes, tonic in winter. This mutton is good, mild and not strong. In weather like this, you should eat some mutton or something!" Mother also echoed from the side.

Gu Hongyu also spoke at this time: "Uncle and aunt, I bought these goats to make money, but making money is not just to live a comfortable life and eat a few goats. As long as I am happy, I will eat all these goats." What’s the point of keeping it?”

"Looking at what you said, you can keep so many sheep for yourself. So your investment this year was not in vain?" Mei's father said in surprise.

Gu Hongyu smiled: "Am I thinking about expanding the scale of lamb breeding next year? The current number of one or two thousand sheep is far from what I expected."

When buying lambs, Gu Hongyu purchased almost a thousand lambs, but some of the ewes he bought were already pregnant, which was only half a year old. He now has just under 2,000 lambs.

Even if lambs are sold this year, not too many will be sold. Since all the ewes will be kept, some strong rams must be properly selected and retained. The lambs cannot be sold, so the most will be sold. It’s the ram that was not selected as a breeding sheep.

Villager Lao Huang, who manages the pasture, Xiang Gu Hongyu reported the specific data of a sheep flock. The maximum number of rams that can be sold this year is only close to 300. In addition, Gu Hongyu has to keep some for his own consumption or to entertain guests. , the number of goats sold will be even less.

Knowing Gu Hongyu's plan, his father asked at this time: "How many sheep do you plan to raise? If the number is too large, this pasture will not be able to accommodate it."

"Next year I tentatively plan to raise 5,000 to 10,000 sheep. The pasture here is more than enough to raise 5,000 sheep. I want to raise the rest in the 10,000-acre orchard not far away. As you know, part of the orchard over there can be fully utilized. "Gu Hongyu explained.

The father thought for a while: "You are right to think so. The manpower in the ranch is basically busy. Even if there is not enough by then, we can recruit a few. But won't this have an impact on the orchard? After all, those fruit trees are not very big. !”

"It is theoretically feasible to raise goats in the orchard, as long as they don't deliberately destroy the fruit trees. Of course, this can increase the number of people to take care of them, or protect the fruit trees." Mei's father actually expressed his views on raising goats in the orchard. Gu Hongyu and his father were a little surprised. After all, they were people who studied history, and talking about agricultural matters would always surprise people.

"Dad, you also know this?" Mei Ning was more surprised than others.

Mei's mother smiled and revealed the mystery: "Hasn't he been idle for a while? Honghu Village also has the Internet. Whenever he has time, he pays attention to agricultural matters."

"Haha, that's it." Mei Ning also laughed.

Mei's father scratched his head and chuckled twice: "Isn't this just bored? I always have to find something to kill time, right?"

However, Gu Hongyu was still very moved. Now Mei Ning has not married him yet, but Mei's father has already contributed to Gu Hongyu's career. Where can you find such a father-in-law?

While talking and laughing, Gu Hongyu led a large family to the 10,000-acre orchard, but he first checked the rare trees next to the orchard. Many kinds of trees from all over the world can be seen here, such as baobabs, dragon blood trees, bomb trees, red sandalwood, egg trees, sausage trees... Anyway, the owner of Yulin Nursery has found many rare tree species for him several times, and these plants are still being searched.

Gu Hongyu had already greeted the owner of Yulin Nursery, and he said that as long as he didn't have rare species here, he could harvest them. That was very domineering.

"Xiaoyu. These trees will not be affected by the weather, right? I heard that many trees are transplanted from the tropics?" His father asked in confusion.

Gu Hongyu has spent a lot of space spring water to water these rare trees. He treats them differently from other ordinary fruit trees. If they are still affected by the weather, then the space spring water is not wasted. Fortunately, he used the Qingmu Jue to observe the growth of the trees and everything was intact.

However, these words cannot be told to his family, and Gu Hongyu just found an excuse to get away with it.

After seeing the rare tree garden, there is the ten thousand mu orchard.

The first thing that caught my eye was a large area of ​​ginseng fruit trees and golden fruit trees. The roots of these fruit seedlings were covered with a layer of mulch. To ensure that the heat at their roots would not dissipate too quickly, even in the cold winter, these ginseng fruit trees and golden fruit trees grew normally. They would bloom and bear fruit in the spring, and Gu Hongyu would wait to make money.

After walking through the planting area of ​​ginseng fruit and golden fruit, the next ones were kiwi fruit and grapes, each of which covered an area of ​​several hundred acres. Among them, there were many different grape varieties in the grape planting area. Now both kiwi fruit and grapes looked bare. Only next year will they grow new branches and leaves.

Continuing forward, the roads in the orchard were also built very wide, with a cement paving width of five meters. Even two large trucks could drive towards each other as long as they drove carefully, which provided convenience for tourists to enter the orchard to pick fruits or vehicles to transport fruits in the future.

On both sides of the road were various types of irrigation pipes, extending directly into the depths of the orchard.

Snowflakes condensed into transparent frost, covering many fruit trees in the orchard with rime. It looked magnificent, and the world of ice and snow was particularly crystal clear.

Mei Ning's digital camera came into play again, "click, click, click" and took pictures of all the scenery she could see.

Mei's mother smiled and said, "Haha, this place may become popular before the fruit is harvested next year. I am almost intoxicated by the scenery here. Xiao Ning also kept taking pictures and uploading them to the website. I think the number of tourists coming to Honghu Village will increase a lot."

"That's right. Xiao Ning uploaded the snow sculptures made by Xiao Yu a few days ago to the Internet, and many netizens couldn't believe it. They said they would come here to verify it in person. Now it seems that the village will be lively again." The mother took over the conversation.

The father still looked unbelievable and said: "Xiaoyu has never learned carving techniques since he was a child, but how did you make such a vivid ice sculpture?"

"Yes, it's just like a living thing, so vivid!" Mei Ning took a lot of photos and turned around and nodded in agreement.

Gu Hongyu could only laugh: "This is mainly because the golden lion is too familiar in my mind. If I can carve Xiaoning's appearance on the ice, it will definitely be more amazing than the golden lion. Otherwise, let's go back and try it in the square later?"

"You dare?" Mei Ning didn't want her image to be casually viewed by others.

Gu Hongyu said angrily: "I'm just talking."

"Okay, let's continue to take a look. Xiaoyu, tell us about the fruit trees below?" The father looked at Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning interrupted their flirting, and kept muttering in his heart that young people nowadays are really open.

Gu Hongyu didn't think too much about it. When he heard his father's question, he observed the surrounding situation and immediately introduced: "We just walked through the ordinary fruit tree area. This area is mainly planted with peach trees, pear trees, apple trees and plum trees. There are also persimmons, loquats and cherries. The fruit tree seedlings I bought will basically bear fruit next year. It won't be long before we can eat the fruits from our own orchard."

Seeing that everyone was listening, Gu Hongyu led them forward and pointed to the fruit trees in front and continued, "The terrain in front is a little higher. The fruit trees I planted there are completely different from those in this area. The fruit trees there are mainly pecans, dates, pistachios, and macadamia nuts."

"Ah, and macadamia nuts. I like this kind of nuts the most, especially the creamy ones. Did you plant them specifically for me?" Mei Ning started to act like a spoiled child to Gu Hongyu again.

Gu Hongyu said half-truthfully, "It's partly because of you!"

But seeing that Mei Ning was still angry, he immediately changed his mind: "But the main reason is because of you. One of the reasons is that they can adapt to the environment here, and they grow very tall, which makes people curious and want to watch."

"Humph, forget it, I won't bother with you this time!" Mei Ning forgave Gu Hongyu after listening to Gu Hongyu's explanation, but it seemed that she was pretending. The parents on both sides smiled at each other after seeing their appearance, thinking that they should get married earlier.

After a round, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after inspecting Gu Hongyu's industry.

His father did many things by himself and was already proud of his son, but it was the first time that Mei Ning's family had a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Gu Hongyu's industry. They looked very pleased and surprised at Gu Hongyu's ability. At the same time, they were very sure that their daughter would not have a hard life in the future.

However, they also knew that this was not all of Gu Hongyu. Just like there was a wildlife reserve, the leisure and entertainment street built by Honghu Village, the military fan club and diving club jointly built, and the many strange creatures found in the lake, and the underground caves that shocked the world, if they were managed well, these were all very promising projects, and they would be profitable projects if they did not do anything.

However, everyone ignored the strange fruit trees that Gu Hongyu had just told them a few days ago. They were trees that had evolved and mutated in space. Those fruit trees that had a strange effect when they bore fruit. As long as this kind of fruit tree appeared in the world, it would guarantee that Honghu Village would become famous again.

"Ding-ling-ling..." Just as everyone was heading home, my father's phone rang.

My father picked up the phone and said a few words before handing it over to Gu Hongyu: "Looking for you. You are really something. You never like to bring your phone with you."
