My 1995 Small Farm - #695 - Vol 3 Chapter 686:

 So in the next few days, except for the Wang Lihua brothers who were accompanied by their mother-in-law every day, they went to the Tutu Temple to burn incense every morning and every night.

There were also two little devils who were burning incense and kowtowing to the big stone tortoise next to the reservoir.

 Now the news has spread in the village.

Brothers Wang Lihua and Wang Liguo were attacked by mountain gods. In a place where tigers and mountain gods have disappeared, they have to offer incense to the Earth God every day to pray for blessings. They need to kowtow three times in the morning and evening, and burn incense once in the morning and evening.

 As for the two little devils, Sister Xiufen originally did not allow them to see a doctor.

Later, the two of them went around asking for help, and brought the county leaders and acquaintances to find Chen Guoping, and then they reluctantly showed him.

Sister-in-law Xiufen said that the two little devils were possessed by evil spirits and were frightened out of their wits by the old monster in the mountains.

And they insisted that they were saved by the local Turtle Prince.

 And saved them twice.

Sister-in-law Xiufen didn’t say whether she believed it or not. After all, the old turtle rescuing people by the water had happened several times.

 Just saying that if this is the case, then you go and burn incense and kowtow to Prince Turtle.

It is said that the two little devils also want to pay for the old turtle to build the temple.

 But the county leaders were afraid of being scolded by the local villagers, so they firmly refused.

These big old turtles are like gods blessing their hometown. Why can’t it be the turn of little Japan to build the temple?

 If they dare to agree.

　　I will definitely get beaten up when I go out.

 You may also be squatted every day.

 At first, let alone building a temple, some people even got very angry when they heard that the two little devils went to burn incense for Prince Turtle.

 He came here specifically to beat them up and drive them away.

The gods they worship themselves are still alive in front of people, how can they let little Japan come to worship them?

 Some people say that Sister-in-law Xiufen is also ignorant.

 It would be best for little Japan to die, why not give them medical treatment?

Later on, the two little devils were frightened by demons and ghosts, and they went around doing good deeds, as if they wanted to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to atone for their sins. They also said that they would contribute money to the county to build roads.

This matter is over.

 In fact, Li Zhongyi and Li Zhongyi were already prepared to run away because of the “monster”. Any mission assigned by the country would cost them their lives. It was all bullshit.

 The result?

 Can’t leave even if I want to!

The “monster” seems to be targeting them. Every time they want to leave, the monster chases them all night long.

　　Whether they take a boat or a car…

　　No one dares to pull them away.

Later I remembered some horrific legends from their home country, such as where they went to play in the deep mountains and countryside, and they provoked monsters and couldn’t escape, and finally died there. The death was usually very miserable.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, so I decided to stay and find a solution.

 Then they found out.

 Ever since they kowtowed to the old turtle and burned incense and decided to do something good for the local area.

The monster really doesn’t bother them at night anymore.

 But the two of them didn’t know what they were thinking. Not only did they not leave, but they became more pious.

 …

 Actually, of course it’s not because the monsters don’t bother them because they see them being pious.

But the little green horse felt bored and stopped going to their side. Now it always runs towards the mountains, or across Kinmen Village to the west, where there is much more fun.

 Chen Ling knows it goes out every day.

I don’t care about it either.

 Lately he has been busy taming wild geese.

And people who want to buy fish fry also come here.

　　Previously, I asked the little sheep to come back with a message, saying that they wanted 8,000 fry at one time.

This man is from the same hometown as the previous second-hand dealer Tian Hongli. He also has the surname Tian and is called Tian Lichuan.

 It is said that the village over there is not big.

 Many people are involved in aquatic products.

 Some people like Tian Hongli get some ornamental fish.

 Some people are like him doing aquatic products business.

This Tian Lichuan is much more kind and happy than Tian Hongli.

Of course, he also knew about Tian Hongli.

 Knowing that Tian Hong was using Chen Ling’s ornamental fish as seed fish, and was later caught, she felt guilty and had no shame in coming back.

 He also said this when he came.

He said that he only came here to buy fry, and when they were grown, he would sell them abroad.

 Because it’s simple and hassle-free to raise and sell them.



 If you raise fish well, you can indeed make huge profits.

 But if it is not maintained well, it will be lost quickly.

Like Tian Hongli did it, it was quite profitable at the beginning, and the fish breeding here at Chen Ling was very good.

 But the more they reproduce later, the worse it will be.

 There will also be atavism.

 The more you raise it, the more your crotch will stretch.

 In the end, we also lost a good customer like Chen Ling.

 In fact, if he hadn’t been so careful, he would have purchased it directly from Chen Ling, resold it, and continued to be his second-tier dealer.

Although this profit difference may not seem like much, it lasts a long time.

Perhaps if you encounter a good fish, you can sell it for a sky-high price.

A good-looking wild thrush in Bei’an can cost three thousand yuan.

 In this day and age, the price is sky-high.

 Compared with birds, ornamental fish are not bad.

Tian Lichuan had a good chat with Chen Ling.

 After that, I asked for a whole fish feast to taste and test the quality of the meat.

This is also reasonable.

 From big fish to small fish, from eating raw to steaming and braised, Chen Ling did not cook it, he did it himself.

 According to him, he has been doing aquatic products for a long time, and he has already mastered making fish.

 When I first started doing business, I was reluctant to throw away the fish even if it died or went bad.

 You can only keep it for yourself to eat.

 As time goes by, it becomes annoying to eat too much. If you get tired of eating, try changing the way you eat.

  This is not just eating fish in a different way.

 The more times you do it, the more you will know everything.

 He does it himself, and he can actually tell the difference better.

 He had tasted the food at Sun Yanhong’s restaurant.

 But he felt that after coming here, the food tasted better.

 His skills are not as good as those of a restaurant chef.

 Then it can only be said that the quality of fish on Chen Ling’s side is better.

Then the fry will naturally be fine.

 It’s just that the price is much more expensive than elsewhere.

 Chen Ling never said that his products are rich and good. If you want to buy them, it will be at this price. Even if you give a discount for large quantities, the discount will not be much.

 There is no need to show off or boast, only to be willing to fight and endure.     It’s mainly business matters, and Chen Ling himself doesn’t want to spend too much energy on it.

He is not afraid of getting into trouble either.

 Just like Sun Yanhong, she was hanging out with Chen Erzhu at the beginning and looked down on him very much.

 Later he was able to give her a business.

 It’s not that he is generous.

 After he had the Sun Moon Cave Sky, his mentality changed a long time ago and he no longer cared about money and other things.

 For him, making and spending money are just fun.

If Sun Yanhong dares to trick him once.

 Don’t even think about taking anything from him in the future, it’s that simple.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Yanhong didn’t have any harmful intentions in the beginning. Even though she looked down on him, she also thought he was good-looking and liked to tease him and seduce him.

This kind of thing is like this for men when they are rich, and it is similar for some women.

Tian Lichuan asked for 8,000 fish fry.

 There are common fry in the ditches in the orchards, as well as salmon and mullet raised in the yard.

 Eight thousand tails for one piece.

 But the number is definitely more, probably just over 10,000.

  After all, there will inevitably be losses on the road.

 After long-distance transportation, there will be wear and tear after arriving home, such as being unable to adapt to the water quality and being unable to survive.

 These eight thousand tails are to be kept alive.

 So there will be two thousand more tails.

Many villagers still can’t figure it out. There are so many fish fry in the river. This man also has money to burn. Why would he come so far to buy fish fry from Chen Ling?

 Go ahead and fish for it, no one will care about it.

  In any case, those fry will die after they cannot make it through the winter.

And the fish raised by Chen Ling are expensive, so they must be the best fish.

 But this is not because the fish is good, but because Chen Ling raises it well himself.

These are still fry, they have not been cultivated, so what are they doing?

Many people in the village followed Chen Ling to raise fish for half a year, which are ornamental fish. Although they made money later, they were still not as good as Chen Ling.

 Later, they were all changed to ordinary fish.

 But these ordinary fish are far from those raised by Chen Ling.

 It feels completely different from the chicks hatched from Chen Ling’s eggs.

If other people came to Chen Ling’s house to buy eggs to hatch chicks, they would understand, but buying fish fry is really confusing to them.

Chen Ling couldn’t explain this kind of thing to them.

 You can’t say that just because you can’t raise fish well doesn’t mean that others can’t raise it well.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with my fry, but you have made them look stupid in the pond. I might as well just throw them into the river and ignore them.

 In the final analysis, people at this time are too frugal.

As for fish, shrimp and other aquatic products, they guard the big rivers and can’t be fished out all. Fish farming is not as good as raising pigs, chickens and ducks.

 This is also human nature.

 …

This morning, the thick fog has not lifted.

Chen Ling led the little green horse with baskets hanging on both sides of the horse’s back, walking in the wheat field.

 Behind them were a group of bald-winged geese feasting on the wheat field.

　　Quaking happily while eating.

　　I am no longer as afraid of people as I was when I was first arrested.

These wild geese, no matter how ferocious they are, are not ferocious.

 It is not that difficult to tame even if it is difficult to tame.

 I used to listen to what people said.

 These geese are in pairs.

　　If one dies, the other will not survive alone.

 This is not actually the case.

　　After being clipped by Chen Ling, it was very dishonest to throw him at home at first.

 Stop talking about getting close to people.

When someone gets closer, they will arch their necks and talk to them, and they will flap their bare wings and want to hit them.

But after only eating one meal fed by Chen Ling, he immediately gave up on the five buckets of rice.

 In addition, there are the geese and ducks at home for company, and there are dogs watching them.

 They also quickly adapted to the environment and obeyed discipline.

 In short, if there is good food and drink, they know the rules very well.

In the past two days, Chen Ling also carried a whip and went out to the wheat fields to herd geese whenever he had free time.

 It was foggy in the middle of the night today.

 In the morning, the fog became heavier and heavier, and it was unlikely that the weather would be good today.

But this kind of weather is quite atmospheric.

Chen Ling led the horse, picking up wild goose dung and herding the wild geese.

These wild geese dung include those from the wild geese around us, as well as those from other wild geese that specially fly over to eat wheat seedlings.

I don’t know if the wheat seedlings here are more delicious than in other places. Those wild geese that escaped before were eaten but not beaten.

It still attracted other wild geese passing by the local area.

 In short, there is no shortage of wild goose droppings in the wheat fields these days.

Not only do wild geese like to eat the wheat seedlings in this season, but also the wild animals on the mountains often come down from the mountains to eat them.

 Chen Ling was walking in the heavy fog and when he bent down to pick up wild goose dung, he saw traces of many wild animals.

 It’s all fresh.

 But after catching so many wild geese, he was no longer interested in these small prey.

It would be okay if it was winter. He took the dog for a little hunting after dinner in the evening, which was quite fun.

 It would be even better if it snowed.

 There is no such atmosphere now.

 He couldn’t muster any energy.

He thought to himself: “We are going to build a greenhouse in two days. In addition to raising some chickens and ducks in it in the winter, we can also let the geese hatch their eggs here. I just wonder if they will violate the seasonal rules?”

  The wild geese say they are afraid of the cold, but it’s not that they can’t stand even a little bit of cold.

　　In winter, we will also fly here. Sometimes the goose droppings in the wheat fields and river beaches are so frozen that they are so cold and hard that you can break them if you pick them with your hands.

But geese are not afraid of cold, which does not mean that they can lay eggs in winter.

 This still needs to be tested using the cave.

Chen Ling looked around. There was thick fog and no one came out, so he ducked into the cave.

However, as soon as he entered the cave, he noticed a familiar strange movement.

 The milky white mist is floating in the cave sky.

It has actually expanded a lot on the original boundary.

 Another area of ​​about ten acres of land was opened for him.

Although it looked like a desert, it was desolate, but it was enough to make Chen Ling overjoyed: “Good guy, I thought before that the place was too small to build two mountains, but now it’s better…” (End of Chapter)
