Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 76 Daily Life

Once the idea came to mind, Xia Shiyu couldn't wait to get started, since the planting season for winter potatoes was from October to November.

This timing is perfect; the fruit will be ready around February after they plant it.

Xia Shiyu's eyes lit up as she looked at the potato in her hand, already imagining what it would taste like.

These potatoes are so delicious, they're sure to taste amazing!

Xia Shiyu was very happy after thinking about it, and planned to go in and collect the potato seeds tomorrow.

This way, there will be plenty of vegetables in winter, and two kinds of fruits. Xia Shiyu felt that she wouldn't need to rush to collect plant seeds anymore, and could just focus on developing steadily for now.

After thinking it through, Xia Shiyu started cooking with her grandmother. The meals were very simple.

Anyway, we grow a lot of vegetables at home now, and it's quite delicious to just pick some from the ground.

However, Xia Shiyu still had her grandmother take out the frozen meat from the refrigerator and cook and eat it.

When the workers came before, he also told them to quickly take out the frozen meat, thaw it, and eat it.

There was no other way. Originally, my family raised pigs with good intentions, thinking that since our own pigs were healthy, we could eat fresh meat anytime, and if we raised two, we could sell one to earn some income.

As it turns out, my family is too frugal and doesn't like to cook meat when there are few people. All the pork we slaughtered was frozen in the freezer and refrigerator, and we still couldn't finish it after more than two years. So what's the difference between this and the zombie meat sold in the market?

Sometimes, when she cleaned the pork, she would find mold growing on it.

So Xia Shiyu asked her grandmother to cook the meat. She knew how to cook it herself, so she had to finish it quickly, otherwise it would be such a waste.

Xia Shiyu helped cut the meat and marinated it. They'll just add some chili peppers and stir-fry it later.

After she finished, she checked the fire in the stove, making sure to add wood promptly and not let the fire get too big or too small.

A message notification sound came from the WeChat group on her phone. Seeing that the fire was still burning, Xia Shiyu glanced at WeChat.

I discovered that in the family group chat, my aunt was sending out red envelopes again, asking me to send vegetables.

Ever since Xia Shiyu sent some vegetables to several uncles and aunts when she visited her aunt, this situation has been happening frequently.

At first, my aunt, who thought it was too much trouble, and my uncle, who thought it was just ordinary farm-style vegetables, have now become the most enthusiastic people, asking me to deliver vegetables every day.

My uncle is fine, since he lives in the next village and is very close to us. He just drove over to buy groceries himself. But my aunt is busy with work, so I had to ask her to mail them for me.

After receiving the red envelope, Xia Shiyu noticed that there seemed to be more than usual this time, so she sent a message.

[Auntie, you want this much this time?]

[Aunt: Your sister Wenwen is coming back from abroad soon, and I heard she's bringing friends over for dinner, so I thought I'd buy a little extra.]

Xia Shiyu understood immediately: her aunt was a single mother, and her sister Xia Wen also took the surname Xia.

Xia Wen had been studying abroad and rarely came back. This time, she came back with friends and was definitely going to buy more groceries.

[Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I'll take care of it!]

Xia Lifang was relieved after seeing Xia Shiyu's reply. She took the vegetables home and cooked them casually, only to find that they were really delicious.

Her first thought was of her daughter who was far away abroad, and she thought of sending her some too.

However, shipping fresh fruits and vegetables abroad is quite troublesome. Although Xia Wen was very curious, she felt it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble since she would be back in October anyway, and it wouldn't be too late to eat them then.

So Xia Lifang stopped worrying about it. When her daughter came back this time, she happily sent red envelopes to Shi Yu, asking him to send her a lot of money.

After sending the message, Xia Shiyu returned to the kitchen and, together with her grandmother, finished preparing the last dishes before dinner.

Xia Shiyu called her parents to ask if she should pick them up.

"No need, no need, your dad and I will be back soon, don't worry, we're on our way."

"it is good"

Xia Shiyu brought all the dishes to the table, waiting for the two to return. Grandpa also returned after herding the ducks.

Ducks love water, so he lets them out from time to time, but he also has to be careful not to let them get lost.

Grandma muttered a few words, "These ducks really need to be kept in good condition. They're fed the best food, and it would be heartbreaking to lose one."

"Don't worry, don't worry. We've raised chickens before. Ducks are even easier to manage than chickens. At least they don't fly around. I'll keep an eye on them every day."

To ensure the quality of the chickens and ducks, Xia Shiyu fed them only fairytale vegetables. Even if they were just some inferior or ordinary leafy greens, Grandma would feel sorry for them.

Those are all good vegetables, worth ten yuan a pound. They could sell quite a lot if taken out to sell. The chickens and ducks can also eat them; they eat quite a lot every day.

However, Xia Shiyu originally intended to sell these chickens and ducks, so they definitely needed to be carefully raised.

In fact, he had considered before whether the animals on the farm could be raised as livestock. For example, he had seen specially bred chickens, ducks, and other animals on the giant's farm.

But those chickens and ducks were all too big, as tall as her, so they definitely couldn't be raised as pets.

However, when she asked the system again, the answer was also no, so there was nothing she could do.

It seems that the fairy tale system can only bring out plants and animals, not animals.

Fortunately, the system told her that there would be special pasture to improve the quality of chickens and ducks, and the effect would be very good.

Now she can only be fed with other common vegetables from the store.

Xia Shiyu had so many thoughts in her mind, but only a minute had passed in the real world.

The two elderly people were chatting and didn't pay any attention to her.

When Xia Lihua and Yu Juan arrived, the two stopped talking and Grandma called out, "Come and eat!"

"Okay, Mom."

The two tidied up quickly and sat down at the dining table. Xia Lihua picked up a bowl of rice and started picking up the vegetarian dishes with his chopsticks.

He used to love meat, and at home, because of his limited cooking skills, he would often urge his wife to cook meat.

But ever since his daughter started growing vegetables, he's become picky about food again. How can those ordinary meats compare to such delicious vegetables?

Xia Shiyu found it somewhat amusing. "Mom and Dad, you should eat more meat and use up all the meat in the freezer so we can buy fresh meat later. Otherwise, it'll all freeze into zombie meat."

Xia Lihua naturally picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks. "Sigh, I want to eat, but I'll eat the vegetables first."

Xia Shiyu shook her head. "By the way, a new batch of citrus seedlings that I ordered should arrive tomorrow. We'll plant them then."

"We have citrus fruits now, that's great. We already had a lot here, and if we plant some more, we won't lack citrus fruits to eat all winter."
