Chapter 198 Daily life on the farm, the wild boars are here again!

New Year approached.

Xu Yang made a lot of money this year.

Some come from collected mountain products, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and musk.

Some rewards from the system, such as tricycles, tractors, Audi A6
There is also the profit earned from selling the crops.

Now the savings have reached more than 800,000.

This income is definitely high-income in the village.

They are just not as rich as the village chief's family, otherwise they would be the richest family in the village.

This is just the beginning.

Xu Yang hopes that his farm can be bigger and more lively.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, lanterns are lit on the farm at night.

The red light is very soft and looks festive.

Occasionally, firecrackers are heard in the village. Dogs don’t like the sound of firecrackers, so they get scared and run back into the house.

The same is true for sika deer.

The leopard was not afraid at first, and stared in the direction of the firecrackers with its big eyes.

But when it saw that Xiao Hei and Yuanbao were very scared, it became scared too.

Every time there was the sound of firecrackers, it would run behind Xu Yang with a look of panic in its eyes.

Whenever he saw this scene, Xu Yang would sigh.

"Xiaohua, you are a leopard!"

"Can you have a clear understanding of your own strength?"

"Looking at this farm, you have the strongest fighting ability except for me."

"How come you're afraid of even firecrackers!"

Xiaohua is truly a rare gem among wild leopards. Although she is not as wild, she is more cute and adorable.

It’s just right to keep it around.

This afternoon.

Xu Yang has contacted the slaughterhouse and the pigs in the pigsty are ready to be slaughtered.

The farm kept one pig for the winter and sold the rest.

Although I feel a little reluctant to let go of the fish after they grow up, this is how breeding works.

Over and over again, there are always new animals.

Xu Yang completed a task some time ago and was rewarded with a pig food recipe.

Simply put, it is corn, pumpkin and cabbage porridge.

The farm happened to have some gem corn left to feed the pigs, as well as pumpkins and cabbages as storage vegetables.

The combination is just right for making a porridge.

"The pigs are all going to be sold, give them a good meal."

"I'll make the pigs' food tomorrow morning."

Xu Yang said to Ma Wen, who was in charge of raising pigs.

Ma Wen nodded, thinking that the owner was still soft-hearted.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang said again the next second:
"But the pork from our ecologically raised pigs is delicious and has almost no smell."

"If it doesn't work, we'll tell the slaughterhouse and let them keep half a pig."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Ma Wen was slightly stunned, and then nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

These days, all pigs sold have to go to slaughterhouses.

The slaughterhouses make all the money.

Farmers are earning less and less.

The next morning.

Xu Yang got up and was responsible for cooking pig food.

Into a large iron pot, Xu Yang poured an appropriate amount of water, then added crushed corn grits and began to simmer.

At the same time, he cut some carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes, and broke off a head of cabbage.

The amount of corn grits is huge.

These slags were mixed into clean water, and after being stirred, they suddenly became golden.

Xu Yang took a shovel and stirred the pot constantly.

Corn porridge has a crystal luster

A burst of corn aroma wafted towards me, it smelled quite fragrant.

Although it is pig food, this step is not much different from cooking corn porridge, so it is normal to smell good.

At this moment, Ma Wen and the other two had just come out to work and were preparing to go to the kitchen to eat something.

As soon as they smelled the scent of corn, they all walked out of the pigpen.

This stove is right at the entrance of the breeding area. Xu Yang was seen cooking a large pot of corn porridge with chopped radishes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, etc. placed next to it.

"Owner, what are you doing?"

Marvin leaned over, looked at the corn porridge, and asked curiously.

"Cooking pig food, didn't I say that yesterday?"

"We contacted the slaughterhouse this afternoon and sold all these pigs."

"Give them a good meal today."

Xu Yang responded while cooking corn.

As he said this, he pushed all the carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkins into the pot.

These three ingredients will become soft and glutinous after a little cooking, and their flavors will blend into the porridge.

It may even melt slowly.

Cooking it this way will make it taste even more fragrant.

The three of them knew that Xu Yang's cooking skills were incredibly good, especially his roast duck and eight-treasure duck, which were truly unique.

But he is too busy on weekdays and seldom cooks.

Occasionally I cook a meal for myself and eat it myself.

Seeing the pig food cooked by Xu Yang, the three of them felt a little greedy.

"This porridge looks really good, and it smells so good!"

Wang Wu exclaimed from the side.

Hearing this, Xu Yang smiled and said:
"It's very simple. After I finish cooking this pot of pig food, I'll go to the kitchen and cook a big pot of porridge."

"Morning is suitable for eating porridge."

"Go get some corn, fresh corn, and a pumpkin."

"I'll cook it in a while."

"Let's eat better. It's definitely better than this."

After hearing Xu Yang's words, the three of them hurried to the kitchen to prepare ingredients.

Xu Yang continued to cook the corn, pumpkin, cabbage, sweet potato and carrot porridge in the pot.

The porridge looks thick and filling.

The pigs were weighed today, and if they were fed a little more they would gain some weight.

Xiao Hei and Yuan Bao also smelled the scent.

The two guys first ran over to take a look, and when they found that Xu Yang was cooking porridge, they immediately ran back.

After a while, two guys appeared again, each holding a food bowl.

In fact, Yuanbao is a very serious person, and the Malinois has a strong sense of obedience.

After being with Xiao Hei for a long time, I learned bad things from him.

They also know to ask their owners for food.

Not to mention the two of them, at this time, Xiaohua also appeared with her food bowl in her mouth. Xiaohua's food bowl was a small stainless steel bowl, and Xu Yang would put some raw meat, raw chicken, etc. in it to feed her.

Seeing it appear with a silly and cute face, Xu Yang said with a smile:

"Xiaohua, what are you doing? Which one do you want to eat, corn and pumpkin or sweet potato and carrot?"

"Don't learn from Xiao Hei."

But it's time to feed the little ones in the morning.

It has become a routine to feed the farm animals first thing when I wake up every day.

Xu Yang continued to cook pig feed.

The pig food was cooked quickly and the fragrance spread out.

Over in the pigpen, the domestic pigs also became a little restless.

Xu Yang first scooped two large spoonfuls of thick porridge and fed them to Xiao Hei and Yuanbao respectively.

The two guys immediately lowered their heads and started eating.

Dogs are omnivores and will eat everything.

The leopard looked at Xu Yang from the side with anticipation on his face.

"Wait a minute. I'll get you some meat."

Raising leopards is very costly and most people cannot afford it.

A month's supply of cat food costs at least two thousand yuan.

Of course, for Xu Yang, he is very happy to raise a leopard, so this little money is nothing.

Xu Yang brought a piece of meat to Xiaohua.

Xiaohua also lowered her head and started eating.

Then, Xu Yang called an employee, and the two of them carried a large iron pot, placed it on the ground, and waited for the pig food to cool down for a few minutes.

After that, they poured all the pig food into a clean trough.

The white and tender domestic pigs were already starving and thirsty.

They gathered together and immediately started eating like crazy.

For pigs, the only two things in their lives are eating and sleeping.

This is the result of being domesticated as livestock by humans.

As long as they are well fed and sleep well, their short life will be comfortable.

Xu Yang watched these guys eating happily for a few seconds.

Then he went to the kitchen to make porridge for breakfast.

The employees also came along to help.

After all, it doesn't make sense for the boss to work while the employees rest.

If the boss wants to do the work himself, the employees must help him.

In fact, Xu Yang doesn't care about these things, but everyone is sensible.

There is a reason why human relationships and social conventions exist.

We can't have three of us sitting outside, waiting with our bowls placed on the table.

The kitchen became busy.

This breakfast was quite sumptuous.

Xu Yang's cooking skills are very good. This time he used fresh corn, which he crushed into corn grits and then cooked like this. The aroma was many times more fragrant than before.

And the corn looks softer and more glutinous.

Soon, the fragrance filled the air.

The employees cooked the steamed buns in a steamer nearby.

They are all hand-kneaded steamed buns, which are very chewy and do not have the feeling of leavened dough.

Add some cold dishes and some fried local eggs from the chicken coop.

This breakfast is just enough.

Because the pace on the farm is slower, you can take your time with breakfast.

There is no requirement to punch in at work, since you are always at work anyway.

Soon, breakfast was ready and the employees sat at the dining table and started eating.

There is also heating in the kitchen, so it doesn't feel cold when eating.

In winter, keeping warm is the most important thing.

“Next year, we will expand the greenhouses and fields first, and then renovate the living area.”

"When there are more people in the future, there will also need to be a place to live."

Xu Yang said this while eating steamed buns.

The three of them were wolfing down corn porridge.

This polenta has a great taste.

Xu Yang added some sweet potatoes and pumpkins, which completely melted into the porridge, giving the corn porridge more vegetal sweetness.

One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance.

The corn is top quality fresh corn with an extremely pure aroma.

Take a sip and chew it a little, and you can feel the sweetness bursting from the corn kernels.

The burning sensation went down the throat and into the body.

My whole body is warm and I feel very comfortable.

One bowl of porridge is not enough, everyone wants another bowl.

It feels so nice to have such a hot meal in winter.

The four of them were eating in the kitchen and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Just then, a burst of rapid dog barking suddenly sounded outside the kitchen.

The Malinois and Xiao Hei were both barking.

"what happened?"

The four of them all changed their expressions.

The sound of the dog barking was unusual.

Everyone had just finished their meal and hurriedly ran in the direction of the barking dog.

As soon as I went out, I saw a big wild boar with black hair all over the pigpen, banging the iron gate with its nose.

Both dogs were very ferocious and barked wildly beside the wild boar, but they did not attack directly due to the size difference.

This is also true. It takes courage to roar at a wild boar.

Xiaohua, on the other hand, was hiding not far away, looking at this side with some panic and a bit of surprise in her eyes.

It has never been ferocious, or its ferocity has not yet been aroused.

This is good, it's safer to stay on the farm.

"Oh my gosh, wild boar!"

Xu Yang's face changed.

"Li Shan, use your phone to record a video for me."

Then, Xu Yang suddenly became excited.

He picked up a shovel beside him and rushed towards the wild boar excitedly.

"Don't come over here, just watch from the side."

Xu Yang did not forget to give instructions to his employees.

Li Shan reacted quickly and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures, fearing that he would miss any details.

Ma Wen and Wang Wu had never seen this scene before, but they picked up the shovels beside them and prepared to support Xu Yang.

The wild boar was attracted by the smell of pig food, and it broke through the fence and broke in directly.

The farm was a bit quiet in winter, but the appearance of this wild boar brought a restless atmosphere to the farm.
