Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 93 Why Raise Ducks Instead of Geese (440)

"How did you do it?"

Yang Rui caught up with Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi, and couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

"How did you do that?" Xu Yue looked at Yang Rui in confusion.

"Why are you guys fine when petting pandas, but others are almost attacked when they get close?" Yang Rui asked.

"They eat my food, live in my house, and drink my water. It's reasonable for us to pet them, right?" Xu Yue said. "They are afraid that I will chase them away."

The corners of Yang Rui's mouth twitched. She subconsciously felt that Xu Yue was talking nonsense again, but she couldn't refute it. It seemed to make a lot of sense.

But that's a giant panda, not a human.

How could they feel embarrassed?
On the way, Yang Rui once again encouraged Xu Yue to rent land to grow vegetables, and then he was told to prepare to rent another 50 acres of land.

"Can't we plant more?" Yang Rui said, "The Yuelai Hotel won't let go even if they die. They'll take over all those fifty acres of land."

"Didn't they just let go of the leeks?" Xu Yue said. "One acre of lettuce yields two to three thousand kilograms. How much can they eat? Even if the vegetables from my one hundred acres of land mature one after another, they may not be able to eat it all."

Yang Rui nodded, she finally understood.

The crux of the problem lies with Yuelai Hotel.

I have to talk to Shen Jianjun about this matter.

What's more, how can we hold on for the next six months?

Don’t we have to re-sign the contract next year?

After returning and getting some chicken mushrooms for Yang Rui, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi went to the fish pond.

But Yang Rui did not leave. Instead, she went for a walk around Xu Yue's vegetable garden and drove away after returning.

"Are you guys walking on the road?"

Yang Rui passed by Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi, stopped the car and asked.

"Go to the fish pond!" Xu Yue answered honestly.

"On your way?" Yang Rui said, "I'll go and take a look too."

Xu Yue wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Yang Rui said, it was difficult to refuse.

It’s actually not far from Xu Yue’s house to the fish pond, but of course it will still take a while if you walk.

"When will the fish in the pond be sold?" Yang Rui asked.

Now she is not only eyeing the chickens from Xu Yue's family, but also the fish.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Yue said, "It doesn't taste very good right now."

"Are you here to see the fish?" Yang Rui asked.

"I want to see if the area near the fish pond is suitable for raising ducks." Xu Yue did not hide it.

Raising chickens can be beneficial to spiritual practice, but what about raising ducks?

That's definitely possible.

As the chicks he raised grew, they would repay Xu Yue every time he went to the back mountain.

If chickens do this, then ducks will naturally do the same.

It helps with spiritual practice and can also make money, so why not raise one?

"Are you planning to raise ducks?" Yang Rui asked. "How about I let Shuxiang Pavilion take care of them?"

"Boss Yang, I'm not sure whether I want to raise one yet!" Xu Yue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Besides, it's hard to say what the quality will be like!"

"Forget it!" Yang Rui said, "Just don't forget Shuxiang Pavilion."

Yang Rui stayed for a while and then drove back.

She is actually quite busy.

This time, in addition to showing my presence in front of Xu Yue, I also wanted to see the giant pandas.

"Raise it?"

After Yang Rui left, Zhang Ruoxi asked.

"Let's take a look first!" Xu Yue walked around the fish pond.

There are fields, land and a large piece of barren earth slope.

You know what, this place is really suitable for raising animals.

When the time comes, we can plant weeds or something on the barren slopes, which can feed both ducks and fish.

As for the chicken?
The grass seeds sown on the back mountain have already grown.

It's much faster than expected.

"Xiao Yue? What are you doing?"

Zhou Zhenxing asked with some confusion when he saw Xu Yue and the other man standing on the barren slope.

"Uncle Zhou," Xu Yue said with a smile, "Whose land is this?"

"Most of them are from my family," Zhou Zhenxing said. "Some are from Jiang Chuan and Jiang Zhong's families. What's wrong?"

"Rent it out?" Xu Yue said, "I'm planning to rent it out and raise some ducks."

"Huh?" Zhou Zhenxing was stunned for a moment, then said, "You're renting paddy fields too? They're already growing rice!"

"We will definitely compensate for your losses." Xu Yue said.

How much does one acre of seedlings cost?

It was impossible for Xu Yue to wait until they harvested the rice before renting the land.

He would suffer even greater losses. Either don't do it, or do it vigorously and decisively, without any procrastination.

"What I mean is, if you want to rent it, I'll definitely rent it to you. As for compensation, just give whatever you think is best. It's not worth much, and it saves money on fertilizer." Zhou Zhenxing said, "Jiang Chuan and the others probably won't refuse."

Xu Jiangchuan, Xu Jiangzhong and others are now working for Xu Yue's family.

Especially Xu Jiangchuan and his wife, they have no time to take care of the farm work at home.

Zhou Zhenxing originally didn't want compensation, but if he didn't, wouldn't that be a trap for Xu Jiangchuan and the others?

Besides, Xu Yue doesn’t lack that.

"Whose wasteland slope is this?" Xu Yue asked.

The barren slope was not small, at least ten acres.

There are mostly weeds and some common trees inside.

"From the village!" Zhou Zhenxing said, "Xiao Yue, do you need to hire anyone to raise ducks? What do you think of my wife?"

"Okay!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Zhou Zhenxing's home is close by, so it's convenient to take care of him.

What's more, he had a good impression of Zhou Zhenxing's wife.

He is a very hardworking person.

"Let's go!" Xu Yue said, "Let's talk to Fourth Grandpa about renting the land."

"Why raise ducks instead of geese?"

On the way, Zhang Ruoxi asked about Xu Yue in her heart.

The reason I ask this is that I saw a goose chasing a dog in a video yesterday. Its fighting power was amazing.

The fighting power of geese is well-known.

"The goose production cycle is long, and the key is that the market demand is small." Xu Yue said, "There are very few large-scale goose farms in Shuzhou."

"Oh!"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

"Aren't you going to find Fourth Grandpa?"

Not long after they walked, Zhang Ruoxi asked in confusion.

This is the way home, not the way to Xu Chengmin's house.

"Can you go empty-handed?" Xu Yue said.

Zhang Ruoxi smiled awkwardly.

They were not going for a stroll, but to find someone for help, so it was not easy for them to leave empty-handed.

Li Guihua was still busy cooking for the workers who were repairing the house, and Xu Chengmin was helping her.

There are only two of them at home.

My children are all living in the city and are doing pretty well.

They basically come back during the holidays and their birthdays.

I come back occasionally on weekends.

"Xiao Yue, what are you doing?"

When Xu Chengmin saw Xu Yue coming over with a bottle of Moutai, he couldn't help but feel confused.

“I want to rent some more land.”

Xu Yue put down the gift and spoke straight to the point.

"That's great! The village will definitely support it," Xu Chengmin said. "Take this back with you."

"Since I've already brought it here, there's no reason why I shouldn't take some back home." Xu Yue said, "These are gifts from friends, and I still have quite a bit at home. I'm giving these to my elders, not to the village chief."

Xu Chengmin couldn't resist, so he just accepted it.

Xu Yue has connections in the city, so he really doesn't need to look at the face of the village chief.

He doesn't need to curry favor with himself.

Xu Chengmin naturally knew that Xu Yue's friend would always bring a box of Moutai every time he came.

They seemed to have endless drinking potential.

Xu Chengmin had been to Xu Yue's house for dinner several times and was still addicted to this wine.

He liked it, but he was embarrassed to accept it, and he still wanted it in his heart.

There is no rush to rent the land. With the village chief stepping in, things will naturally become much simpler.

"Renting land again? Raising ducks?"

During dinner that night, Xu Yue told his parents about the incident. They were surprised but didn't say much, just expressed their support.

"Leave some land to grow some medicinal herbs!"

Xu Chengyang suddenly spoke.

"it is good!"

Xu Yue naturally had no objection to this.
