The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

After the broad bean harvest, it's not yet the planting season, so we can't leave the five acres of land empty.

After much thought, Lu Yao decided to plant purslane.

Not only can purslane be grown year-round, but it is also highly nutritious. In particular, it makes an incredibly delicious soup with the head of a large silver carp, and it also allows you to sell the large silver carp from the pond, making it a win-win situation.

Just do it.

Lu Yao turned over the five mu of land, sowed the seeds of artemisia, and covered the ridges with mulch.

He bought another 200 small chub and put them in the fishpond, so that he could continue feeding them when the chub in the big pond was caught.

Lu Yao instructed Dianzi and Lu Jijun to raise more chub.

The price of grass carp is higher and more stable than that of grass carp, but the breeding cycle is longer and the grass carp does not grow as fast. When the prices are similar, most people choose to raise grass carp.

Because of Lu Yao, Dianzi and Lu Jijun turned their fish farming from loss to profit, and they trusted him a lot.

They have many ponds, with larger ponds used exclusively for raising silver carp and bighead carp, supplemented by other fish.

Lu Jijun sold the extra grass carp to the madman.

After catching the fish, everyone went to the madman's house for tea.

"Old Min, you're all smiles."

An old man heard Lü Yimin humming a tune while tying his waders to the front of the car and teased him.

"That's right."

"My sister-in-law has been getting younger and more beautiful lately, and her son is willing to go to work. She must be very happy."

The madman brought out the top-grade spring tea that Lu Yao had given him last time.

"You don't even have a wife, how do you know all this so clearly?"

Li Yunhai laughed at him.

"I've known Uncle Min for a long time, and he wears his heart on his sleeve."

The madman took the boiled water from the side and started making tea.

"No respect for elders."

Lu Yimin walked over, pretending to give him a flick on the forehead.

"Yao, take my brother's pulse too."

Li Yunhai reached out his hand to Lu Yao.

"You don't have any other illness, you just have a mental illness."

Lu Yao pushed his hand away.

"And he's quite ill."

"Does anyone have the phone number for the Third Hospital? We can have them come and pick up the patient."

"I have one. Hey, Dean, we have a patient here named Li Yunhai. Yes, Li Yunhai. We need to call a few more strong men; one or two can't handle him..."

Everyone joined in the commotion.

Lu Yao's phone rang with a voice call.

"Brother-in-law, my sister hasn't come back from her trip yet?"

When Lu Yao saw that it was Gao Lang coming, he realized that today was another day to collect cat grass seeds.

"They are at my house now."

Gao Langdao.

"You're in Guangzhou too?"

Lu Yao asked.

"No, I'm going out tonight."

Gao Langdao.

When are you coming?

Lu Yao asked.

"Are you home? Okay, I'll come right now."

Gao Langdao.

"Eat at my house."

Lu Yaodao.

"I need to go back to my hometown to grab my things and then leave."

Gao Langdao.

"If you're in a hurry, I can deliver it to the store."

Lu Yaodao.

"No need, I still need to go to Longchong Town to buy tea."

Gao Langdao.

"Okay, when you get to Longchong Town, send me the address, and I'll deliver the things there now."

Lu Yaodao.

Longchong Town is famous for its tea, especially its stir-fried tea, which is both affordable and delicious.

Many people in the Greater Bay Area are from this region. They are used to drinking tea from their hometown and will bring large bags of tea with them when they go home. In particular, those who are in business will use tea from their hometown to entertain guests.

Many people from other provinces who come here to work will fall in love with the local tea-frying after a year or two.

"it is good."

Gao Lang hung up the voice call.

"You guys drink, I'll go deliver some things."

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

Lu Yao asked the madman.

"no."

"Which brother-in-law? His voice sounds unfamiliar."

The madman's hearing is exceptionally sharp.

"I have so many brothers-in-law, but you don't know them all."

Lu Yao casually brushed it off and rode his motorcycle to Longchong Town.

Halfway there, Lu Yao stopped his car and went down to the stream. He squatted down under the thatch and took out a large bag of cat grass seeds from his spatial storage. He soaked the seeds in the stream water mixed with spiritual spring water for a while, and only put the seeds on the car rack after Gao Lang sent him the address. He then continued on his way.

Lu Yao arrived at the tea shop in town where Gao Lang was buying tea. Gao Lang was about to put tea leaves into his car.

"Brother-in-law, come in with me for a moment."

Lu Yao parked the car, told Gao Lang, and was about to go into the store.

"I've already paid."

Gao Lang thought Lu Yao was going to pay for him, so he quickly stopped him.

"I'm an old friend of the boss. If I introduce you to him, he won't rip you off in the future."

Lu Yaodao.

"Tea at this price shouldn't be that expensive."

"I just tried some tea, and it's the tea I want to buy."

Gao Lang felt that Lu Yao had overcomplicated human nature.

"From what you're saying, there's a high chance we'll get scammed."

Tea is a highly profitable industry. People who buy tea usually serve the best tea to their customers. Unless they are regular customers, nine times out of ten, the tea they buy is not what they were promised.

If you don't know much about tea, it's best not to buy tea from unfamiliar tea shops, especially those with pre-packaged tea. They're just trying to rip you off.

"Uncle, this is my brother-in-law. If you cheat me, I'll tell Lao Wei."

Lu Yao led Gao Lang into the store.

The boss is Zhang Wei's uncle.

"Is he really your brother-in-law?"

The boss quickly pulled Lu Yao aside.

Lu Yao's relatives and friends often came to him to buy tea, and he knew most of them.

"My very dear brother-in-law."

Lu Yaodao.

"This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; even family members don't recognize each other."

"Consider this bag my apology."

The shopkeeper knew that Lu Yao had no reason to lie to him. He was just a little embarrassed, so he naturally took the tea leaves back from Gao Lang and went to get the equivalent amount of tea leaves that Gao Lang wanted to buy. He also gave Gao Lang a package of good tea leaves as an apology.

Seeing that Gao Lang was a stranger and his accent didn't sound like a local, he thought he was easy prey, but he never expected to end up fleecing one of his own.

The person he feared most was his nephew, Zhang Wei. If Lu Yao told Zhang Wei about this, Zhang Wei would definitely smash up his shop and might even beat up his uncle.

Gao Lang then realized that Lu Yao had been right.

He considered himself a seasoned veteran, but he never expected to fall for their tricks in the end.

It's not that Lu Yao overcomplicates human nature, but rather that he overcomplicates it.

Lu Yao put the cat grass seeds in the trunk of his car, chatted with Gao Lang for a few minutes, and then went home.

As soon as he got home, his bank account received another transfer of 50 yuan.

Today is the last day of March, the day to collect cat grass seeds and the day the pet supply store settles the payment with him.

He spends 20 yuan on a box of catnip noodles. If he buys an average of 800 boxes a day, that's 16,000 yuan.

That's 48 a month.

It earns several times more than raising grass carp.

Lu Jijun is right; raising high-quality cat grass is not as good as raising grass carp.

However, Lu Yao did not think that way; he had his own ideas and plans.

He earns more, so the pet supply store naturally earns even more.

The premium cat grass he provides brings pet supply stores not only income from cat grass, but also boosts sales of other products.

Many seemingly inconspicuous shops are actually the most profitable.

He earned 100,000 yuan from broad beans, and with the 500,000 yuan he had in his bank account, he now had 1.1 million yuan in savings.

He plans to buy an SUV for around 300,000 yuan.

Lu Jiming will be coming back to pay respects at his ancestors' graves again during the Qingming Festival, and Lu Yao plans to go with him to Huacheng to look at cars.
