Chapter 38 Construction
“Of course.” Jian Ning nodded.

She was also very curious about how far the beast-taming skill could be developed.

There's no instruction manual for this skill; you have to figure it out yourself.

Long Wu thought for a moment, then waved her hand, "Forget it, my unfilial son is too much trouble, he'll make a mess of your place."

Jian Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I also like dogs. You can bring it over to play another day."

Zhang Nan, standing to the side, glanced at the two of them with a deep look in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Did either of you consider how I feel about being afraid of dogs?"

Long Wu is laughing heartlessly.

Jian Ning patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, when the dogs are playing outside, I definitely won't let them scare you."

The next day, early in the morning, Jian Ning went out to the nearby building materials market.

The area surrounding Huayue Villa is still the construction fence from back then. The fence is rusty, and in some places it is supported by wooden blocks. There are holes everywhere.

In fact, Jian Ning had already had the idea of ​​surrounding the entire villa.

Gu Yan came last night, which only accelerated the progress of her idea to build the mountain villa.

The building materials market owner knew she wanted to build a fence, so he let her choose a style and asked, "Approximately how many meters do you need?"

Jian Ning wasn't sure either. "I don't know. You can come over and take measurements later."

The building materials store owner nodded and replied, "Sure, once you've decided, we'll send someone to your home to finalize the plan. Which neighborhood do you live in?"

Jian Ning replied, "Huayue Villa."

The building materials store owner's face froze instantly, his eyes wide with disbelief: "You live in Huayue Villa?"

Jian Ning: "Yes."

The building materials store owner asked with a curious look, "That place has been abandoned for more than ten years. It was originally intended to be a high-end leisure resort. How did you end up living there?"

Jian Ning gave him a deep look but didn't say anything.

The building materials store owner immediately realized that he had talked too much. Young people nowadays are very conscious of boundaries and don't like being asked too many questions.

He chuckled twice and began making recommendations: "Madam, if you're building a fence around your villa, I recommend this kind. It looks nice and is quite affordable."

"No, the entire resort is surrounded."

Jian Ning's eyes swept over the various fence samples; she wanted to find one that was sturdy and durable.

The building materials store owner was startled, his hands clenched tightly together, and the whole resort was in shock!

The Huayue Villa covers at least several hundred acres of land. If you were to lease the entire surrounding area, it would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. That would be a huge deal.

He smiled obsequiously, "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you the best price. Look at this, it's metal, moisture-proof and cold-resistant. We'll build a pillar every 50 meters, making the base higher, and then we'll put up an electric fence on top to ensure safety. I can do all of this. Leave the work to me, and you can rest assured that I'll get everything done for you without you having to worry about it."

The boss's last words truly moved Jian Ning.

Money is not an issue; what she wants most is peace of mind.

The boss was still trying his best to highlight the advantages of his business, after all, for such a big deal, people in Kendon would definitely compare prices from multiple vendors.

"You don't need to worry about anything. Just choose the style you like, and we'll finalize the plan. We've been working with the construction workers for many years, so the quality is definitely not a problem. If there are any issues with the fence, we offer a ten-year warranty. Just come find me."

Jian Ning pointed to one and said, "Okay, I'll take this one. It looks good."

The building materials store owner was surprised by the other party's promptness. After a moment of surprise, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll send someone to take measurements right away and finalize the plan. I'll add you on WeChat first."

Jian Ning and her boss added each other on WeChat, so they could discuss the plans on WeChat later.

The boss mentioned the deposit beforehand: "Since we've finalized the deal, how about we pay a 500 yuan deposit first? Then, once the plan is finalized, we'll pay 50% of the project cost, and the remaining half will be paid after the project is completed and you've inspected it and found no problems."

"can."

Jian Ning scanned the QR code and paid 500 yuan. The other party issued a receipt. Jian Ning glanced at it, handed the receipt back, and said, "Could you please stamp this?"

The building materials store owner immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll go get the stamp."

After the receipt was stamped, Jian Ning went to the farmers' market again.

There are no duck farms nearby, so you can only check the farmers' market.

Fortunately, early autumn, like early spring, is a suitable time to raise chickens and ducks.

At the farmers' market, cages of ducklings quacked, their calls sounding more like birds than adult ducks.

Jian Ning discovered that she could tell at a glance which ducks were of better quality and health, and which were weaker.

Is this also a function of the Beast Taming skill?
She walked up to a stall where the overall quality of the ducks was better, stopped, and took a closer look.

"Young lady, buying ducks?"

Jian Ning looked around and asked, "Boss, do you have any recommendations?"

There were no other customers at the moment, so the owner stood up, pointed to the ducks in the cage, and began to introduce them one by one.

"Look at this, it's a Muscovy duck. Its meat is tender and tastes good. Most of the braised duck we usually eat is made from this breed."

"This is the Beicheng duck. When it grows up, its feathers are pure white, its body is large and plump, and its skin is thick. After roasting, it is fatty but not greasy. This is the kind of roast duck we eat."

"This is a South China duck. It's a strong forager, robust, and lays many eggs. The eggs are large and have a bluish-green shell. It tastes good too, and it's suitable for stewing in soup. You can stew it with ginseng or other herbs to make a medicinal dish, or make beer duck or something similar."

The owner introduced a few common ducks, then asked, "Which type would you prefer to raise, or you could raise a mix of them?"

"Then let's raise some of each, thirty of each, and ten geese over there."

The shopkeeper assumed she was just raising them on her rooftop or terrace at home, keeping them clean and hygienic for her own consumption. He was surprised to find she wanted so many and asked, "Young lady, do you have enough space at home to raise so many?"

"That's enough." Jian Ning took out her phone and asked the shopkeeper to calculate the price. Before paying, she asked, "Can you deliver this duck to my door?"

Shop owner: "Do you live far away? If not, I'll have the owner of the grain and oil shop drive and deliver it to me."

Jian Ning said, "It's not far, about five or six kilometers."

"Okay, give me an address and I'll send it to you."

"Okay." Jian Ning paid the money, left her address and phone number, and wasn't worried that the other party wouldn't deliver it.

After all, this isn't a business that only serves her; the boss wouldn't default on a debt for such a small amount of money.

There was a wet market right next door, so Jian Ning browsed around and bought some pork belly and ribs to take home.

Back at the villa, she took a detour to the vegetable garden, pulled up some radishes, and picked some greens.

I didn't bring a basket when I went out, so I didn't pick many vegetables, just enough for today's meals.

The vegetable garden was lush and green, but the vegetables sent out as part of the previous tasks were just the tip of the iceberg.

When she got home, it was still early, so she didn't rush to make lunch. She sat on the futon, clasped her hands together, her ring and little fingers interlocked, and wisps of green light, invisible to ordinary people, emanated from her.

The spiritual energy gathering formation, centered on the villa, first cast out markers around it, and this time the formation completely covered the entire area of ​​the manor.

The formation successfully expanded, and she felt a little dizzy, a side effect of the depletion of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, with the "Single Mind Extinction Technique," her cultivation progressed significantly, and her spiritual power was noticeably more abundant than before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to support the spiritual energy gathering array.

I'm not feeling well, so only one chapter today. I'll resume two chapters tomorrow.
