Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 399 399 Great Tonic
There are many ways to eat lotus root powder, and it is not easy to gain weight. Sometimes when you are hungry, you can brew it directly with a bowl of boiling water, which is convenient and quick.

Lin He doesn't particularly like to eat, but if there is no one at home, it feels like something is missing.

I picked a few lotus roots and threw them into the back basket, and I also threw the old turtle in. I stayed by the pond for a while, and now it's time to go home and prepare lunch.

It’s like this when it’s cold. It’s bright in the morning and late in the afternoon, and it’s dark early in the afternoon. During the whole day, I feel like I can’t do much.

Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer and the sun will slowly grow up.

Li Hao and Li An haven't had enough fun yet, especially when they saw someone catching another turtle, even a small turtle, they were still very excited and said they would like to watch it here for a while.

Anyway, there were a lot of people here and the water was shallow, so Lin He went with them, and went home with Li Changhui first.

On the way back, I also told Li Changhui about the situation at the Wang family.

Li Changhui didn't make any suggestions after listening, but said: "You have done well enough, whose boss's wife will worry about the marriage of the long-term worker under her hand?"

"I have done everything that can be done. Whether the marriage between Liu Qingsong and the Wang family can be completed is not up to you to decide. Now let nature take its course."

"If you succeed, you will be a long-term worker and someone will hold a wedding. You just need to give a red envelope. If you don't succeed, don't worry about it."

He was actually comforting Lin He.

Lin He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment: "How do you know I'm worried? I thought I was calm."

At least she felt that she should have acted calmly, but she didn't expect Li Changhui to see through it at a glance.

"How do you know I'm worried? In fact, it's not really a worry. Qingsong Qingyu is about the same age as Li Yu. I just hope they can live better in the future."

Nothing else can help, but if I can start a family and have a real place to stay, it will be much better than living in their land for the rest of my life.

And what she said in Wang's house before was not a lie. After taking in the siblings, she did ask about their previous addresses and asked Xie Jiang's grocery store to help.

It is said that the two brothers and sisters also reported to the police on the pretext that they were abducted by Ren Yazi and wanted to get them back.

Later, people found out that grandparents sold Qing Yu to the prostitution hall, and the villagers almost didn't point and scold her, so the government didn't send anyone to continue looking for it, and the matter was over.

As for the people in the village over there, they all agreed that the two brothers and sisters had escaped, and nine out of ten were already dead. After all, no one believed that the two children could escape to a place two county towns away.

After that, Lin He never paid attention to things there again. Xie Jiang probably guessed who the two children were. After all, the news that the people below wanted to inquire about had to be passed on through him.

But Xie Jiang didn't say anything, just pretended not to know.

After so many years, Lin He also saw that the brothers and sisters were getting better and better, not to mention treating them as his own children, but he still hoped that they could have a good belonging.

That's why she was so active when the matchmaker Xie came to propose marriage to Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong doesn't have an elder here, so if she comes forward, no matter what, at least she can make people look up to her a little bit.

I just didn't expect that the little thoughts I thought I was hiding well would be exposed by Li Changhui at a glance.

Li Changhui smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and instead talked about what An'er mentioned just now, about raising soft-shelled turtles.

Their family's farm is not small. In addition to hundreds of acres of grain and vegetables, they also raise a large number of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, pheasants and hares, and fish in rice fields every year.

But these are things that can be profitable very quickly. Even the slowest-growing cattle can at least cultivate land. After the manure is fermented, it is also a good fertilizer.

But the soft-shelled turtle is different. This thing grows slowly. Even if it is specially bred, it may take two or three years before it can be sold and eaten. The waiting time in the early stage is not too long.

As for the pond, according to the growth of the lotus root this year, it is estimated that the lotus root will be dug every year, but I don't know if digging the lotus root will cause damage to the soft-shelled turtle.

Lin He had never raised one before, but he just thought that these situations might happen.

However, Li Changhui thought for a while after hearing this: "I think it should be fine. When digging the lotus root, the turtles were also hibernating, so they didn't disturb each other. Anyway, the pond has already raised so many things, so put a few more turtles in it. Not a big problem."

It's not just like raising chickens and ducks, but they have to be fed every day. They can find food in the water by themselves, and even if they run away, there is no loss.

"Since this is the case, how many more should we throw in the pond?"

Lin He had already begun to wonder where to buy turtles. This thing was hard to come by. There were no farmed ones at all, only wild ones.

Unless someone finds it in the field and sells it in the market, it is really hard to come across.

"There's no rush. We'll talk about it after we've finished digging the lotus roots. And it doesn't have to be specially cultivated. It's just a matter of incident. If you find smaller ones in the fields, just put them in the pond."

After a long time, no matter how slow the growth is, it will still be able to reproduce more, right?

Just like their herd, which originally had four or five cows, has now grown into a herd of more than a dozen calves.

The two chatted and returned home, and Li Yu had already come to the kitchen to cook. He was also surprised to see his father carrying such a big old turtle back.

Then he ran back to the room, and when he came out after a while, he already had a cookbook in his hand.

"Mother, the book says that this kind of old turtle is different from ordinary small turtles, and the effect of supplementation is also better, so you can't eat more."

His parents are still young, if he eats too much, it's not a good idea to make up too much.

It's a pity that his parents didn't understand his good intentions. Lin He even took two cabbage leaves to tease the soft-shelled turtle that Li Changhui put in the big basin.

"Don't worry, your parents are not stupid. I told your Uncle Xie that he will find someone to divide up in the afternoon and sell a few more households."

The big soft-shelled turtle, which was forcibly awakened from hibernation, obviously had a bad temper, and ate Lin He teasing her cabbage leaves in a few mouthfuls.

Lin He took another carrot, washed it clean, and it was juicy, but when the big turtle bit it down, there was a gap.

Li Yu was taken aback, he had never seen such a ferocious turtle.

"Mom, be careful, don't get bitten."

The turtle's neck stretched out so long, I was afraid that his mother would be bitten if she didn't pay attention.

"It's okay, I'm paying attention, you go and cook for your father, I don't want to move today."

Li Yu nodded, and handed the recipe in front of Lin He.

"I found this at the bookstore yesterday. I thought you might like it, so I bought it. It just fell into the barbecue shop. Uncle Xie brought it here for me in the morning."

"The recipe?" Lin He took it: "Thanks, I'll take a look at it later, you go ahead and do your work."

As he said that, with a flick of the carrot in his hand, the big soft-shelled turtle ate nothing, making Lin He laugh out loud.

Li Yu wanted to sigh, his mother was already a big boss, how could she still be so playful.
