Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Courtyard 28.

For dinner, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e cooked together, making braised pork, braised fish, and spicy diced chicken.

Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a large bowl of rice, which was cooked with the finest rice.

Smelling the fragrant rice and the delicious dishes, Wang Feng couldn't wait to shovel a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

As soon as the rice entered his mouth, Wang Feng's expression turned to one of astonishment; the rice was simply too delicious.

It has a light and fragrant aroma and is soft and sticky, with delicate and plump rice grains. After eating it, you can still feel the fragrance lingering in your mouth.

"Jingru, goose, quickly try this rice," Wang Feng urged.

Qin Jingru put a piece of braised pork into Wang Feng's bowl, and Lou Xiao'e also put a piece of chicken into Wang Feng's bowl. Only then did the two of them start eating.

The two women had just put their food in their mouths when they both widened their eyes.

Soon, the three of them were enjoying their meal, and the sound of shoveling rice into their mouths filled the air.

After eating three bowls of rice, Wang Feng wanted to eat more, but for some reason, he felt very full and couldn't eat anymore.

Qin Jingru is the same as Lou Xiao'e. Normally, Qin Jingru can eat four bowls of rice, but now she can only eat two.

Lou Xiao'e has now drunk four catties of the water of life. She used to be able to eat four bowls of rice, but now she can only eat two bowls and feels very full and can't eat anymore.

"Brother Wang Feng, I usually eat four bowls of rice, but I've only eaten two now, and I feel even fuller than if I ate four bowls. I can't eat any more. What's wrong with me?"

"Brother Feng, I feel the same way. Is there something wrong with this rice?" Lou Xiao'e asked with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng pondered for a moment, and already had his answer in mind.

He estimated that this was due to the Water of Life; the rice became more nutritious after being watered with the Water of Life.

Normally, they need to eat so much rice because their constitution is extraordinary and they need so much nutrition to maintain such a strong physique. But now, the rice irrigated with the water of life is rich in nutrients, and they only need less than half the amount of rice they usually eat to maintain it. That's the only way to understand it now.

Seeing the worried expressions on Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e's faces, Wang Feng smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I guess it's because this rice is so nutritious that we only need to eat two bowls to feel full. Don't worry, this is a good thing. From now on, we'll eat this kind of rice and wheat flour."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e suddenly realized what was going on.

"Brother Wang Feng, you asked me to cook more rice this afternoon. We've eaten so little, and there's still a big pot of rice left in the pot. If Goose eats it all by himself, it'll take him several days to finish it!" Qin Jingru said.

Wang Feng waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay. I'll pack some food to go with me. I'm going to the countryside to buy supplies tomorrow, so I'll save it to eat on the way. Jingru, we'll go back to Courtyard No. 28 for dinner tomorrow night, and we should be able to finish it then."

"Um."

After dinner, Lou Xiao'e washed Wang Feng's feet, and the three of them went to bed.

After not visiting Courtyard No. 28 for two days, Wang Feng compensated Lou Xiao'e with several billion yuan.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Qin Jingru heated up the leftovers from last night and used them for breakfast today.

There was still a large pot of rice and a lot of vegetables left, but Wang Feng packed three bowls of rice and some vegetables to go, which should be enough to eat for the day without any waste.

After finishing breakfast, it was only a little past eight o'clock. Wang Feng said goodbye to Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e, then pushed his bicycle out the door.

The village chief of Lujia Village asked Lu Daniu to notify him to come over, presumably because he had collected what he needed. He needed to put these things into his space as soon as possible before he could feel at ease.

After cycling for three hours, Wang Feng arrived at Lujia Village.

After handing out two Daqianmen cigarettes to the militiamen, Wang Feng headed straight for the village chief's house.

During this period, Wang Feng had visited Lujia Village several times and had become familiar with most of the militiamen. When the militiamen saw that it was Wang Feng, they didn't even look at his letter of introduction and let him pass directly.

Upon arriving at the village chief's house, Wang Feng shouted, "Uncle Lu, it's me, Wang Feng, I've arrived."

Hearing the noise, the village chief quickly came out of the house and laughed loudly, "Wang Feng, you're here pretty early today."

Wang Feng offered him a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Uncle Lu, what did you receive this time?"

The village chief lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and grinned: "Wang Feng, last time you said you'd take as many poultry and livestock as you could get. This time Uncle Lu has taken a bit too much. If you don't take it, your Uncle Lu will lose everything, even his underwear. Don't try to trick your Uncle Lu."

Wang Feng patted his chest and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Uncle Lu, don't worry, as long as you can get it, I guarantee I'll take as much as you can get. How much did you actually get this time?"

The village chief took a deep drag on his cigarette before saying, "Ten piglets, three males and seven females, twelve lambs, four males and eight females, six calves, one male and five females, as well as dozens of goslings, dozens of chickens and ducks, and some fruit and vegetable seeds."

Upon hearing that he had received so many poultry and livestock, as well as vegetable and fruit seeds, Wang Feng smiled. These were exactly what his space desperately needed.

The first batch of chickens, ducks, and geese in the space have all grown up, but there are too few of them for him to eat.

The piglets have grown to about 100 pounds, and he can't bear to slaughter them. As for the beef, he can't bear to part with it even more. He only has two cows in his space, a male and a female, which weigh about 200 pounds now. He doesn't know when they will give birth to calves again.

Now that he has so many poultry and livestock, he can eat as much as he wants. However, he still can't eat beef for the time being, as a cow weighing over 200 pounds is still too small.

"Hahaha, Uncle Lu, you've really helped me a lot this time! Take me to see him!" Wang Feng laughed loudly.

The village chief nodded and led Wang Feng to the pigsty.

The pigsties in Lujia Village have been enlarged considerably and are now used to temporarily store poultry and livestock. Each type of poultry and livestock is separated by fences to prevent them from being trampled to death by other large livestock.

Seeing so many poultry and livestock inside the fence, Wang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, I need your help with all this poultry and livestock. Just tie them up and take them to the woods outside the village. My friend will come and pick them up later."

"Uncle Lu, don't worry, we won't let everyone's help go unrewarded. Each person will receive ten catties of sweet potatoes as a reward for their hard work."

Upon hearing that he would receive ten kilograms of sweet potatoes as a reward for his help, the village chief patted his chest loudly.

"Hehe, Wang Feng, don't worry, leave this to Uncle Lu."

"By the way, Uncle Lu, you've taken in so many poultry and livestock, haven't you aroused any suspicion?" Wang Feng asked with some concern.

The village chief waved his hand and grinned: "Wang Feng, who is your Uncle Lu? Don't you know? Is your Uncle Lu really that unreliable? Your Uncle Lu has been the village chief for over twenty years, he knows these things. Just relax, I guarantee no one will find out about you."
