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

Chapter 127 Catching a Thief

Oranges were selling like hotcakes in the supermarket, so Yue Qi directly ordered another batch from Xia Shiyu.

She was very happy on the phone, "Mr. Xia, your oranges are definitely the best in this area. We'll order several more batches later, and we hope you can provide a stable supply."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yue. Right now, you're the one who needs the largest quantity, so we will definitely prioritize supplying you," Xia Shiyu said slowly.

"Okay, okay, then I can rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shiyu was about to go somewhere else when she received another call.

She took out her phone and found it was the logistics manager of Dingsheng Restaurant.

Is there something wrong with the chickens and ducks, or do they need to be restocked?

Xia Shiyu answered the phone, "Hello."

Sun Liu was very excited the moment he answered the phone, "Hello, Boss Xia."

Xia Shiyu asked in confusion, "Okay, may I ask what's wrong that you called?"

Sun Liu was a little embarrassed. "Actually, it's not a big deal, and it's a personal matter. I just wanted to ask if Boss Xia's chickens and ducks can still be sold separately. I'd like to buy two of them myself."

"Oh, I see."

Xia Shiyu wasn't surprised. Their family hadn't sold chickens and ducks at home for a long time. They had only sold them once or twice at the beginning, but later they found that the quantity was insufficient. However, they kept them for their own consumption or sold them to their partners. After all, their family wasn't a large-scale chicken and duck farm and couldn't supply too many people.

However, if it's a single person, there are still some that can be allocated.

"Of course, but you'll have to bring it yourself."

Sun Liu was already overjoyed to hear there was hope, and didn't care about anything else. He said directly, "Okay, okay, I can come and pick it up tomorrow. Thank you, Boss Xia."

"Okay, no need to rush. You can come anytime these days. I'll save the chickens and ducks for you."

After ending another call, Xia Shiyu felt that she was making too many phone calls these days, and she also had quite a few WeChat friends.

If it coincides with the ripening of new crops, it's even more lively; you could spend the whole day reading the news.

She turned off her phone, intending to find some farm work to do, but after looking around, she realized that the things on the mountain didn't need her attention at all. The oranges had been harvested, the potatoes had been planted, and the grapes were doing well.

The weather has been favorable lately, and she only needs to add fertilizer occasionally. As for clearing the land, she plans to ask villagers for help or use machinery.

There's no way around it; the life she grew up wasn't like what's described online—a small wooden house with a few acres of barren land where she could grow whatever she wanted to eat, without any financial pressure, living a carefree, idyllic life like a hermit in the mountains.

Not to mention her, not many people in her village live this kind of life. Most of them have been doing endless farm work since they were young, hoeing the ground, spreading fertilizer, pulling peanuts and harvesting corn. It's not just about planting a small plot of land, but several acres. The harvest time is truly despairing.

Therefore, when Xia Shiyu heard her colleagues say they longed for the countryside while she was at work, she felt no emotion whatsoever.

She doesn't yearn for the hard work of rural life, unless she has money.

In short, Xia Shiyu farms at home, but she never lets her family members do too much farm work. She doesn't let her elderly parents and her own parents do too much work because money is meant to be spent.

If you're always living a miserable life, there's no point in making a lot of money. That's why she hires people to do most of her work, and then pays them a salary.

So for a while, Xia Shiyu really didn't know what to do, since there was not much work to do in winter and her family was doing enough.

At most, they can only catch robbers and thieves.

After thinking it over, Xia Shiyu finally decided to go for a walk in the mountains. Putting aside everything else, it would be nice to breathe some fresh air.

After making the decision, Xia Shiyu called the two dogs, "Let's go, Nuomi and Huangdou, let's go play in the mountains."

"Woof woof woof!" Nuomi and Huangdou rushed out of the yard as soon as they heard the call.

They started circling around her.

"Alright, alright, I know you're all so happy you're practically wagging your tails. Come on, let's go play."

Xia Shiyu took her two dogs up the mountain. She didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to the place where she had planted vegetables.

She came up mainly to check on the grapes and oranges.

Of all the things she cared about, grapes were the one she was most concerned about.

Neatly arranged grapevines hang down in bunches of green grapes, and among the bunches you can see tiny grains of rice, small and unassuming, these are the grape blossoms.

Hidden among the grape leaves, they cluster together to form a green sea, with twinkling white stars in the middle of the sea. A gentle breeze carries a faint fragrance. These tiny flowers are a symbol of the grapes before they bear fruit.

Xia Shiyu was pleasantly surprised to see this, "The grapes are blooming! That's wonderful."

She had never known that grapes could bloom. She often mistook the tiny grape blossoms on the vines for ordinary grass, never imagining that they were actually grape flowers.

However, flowering also proves that the grape has entered the flowering period. After some time, when the ovary begins to swell, it enters the berry period, which is the small, unripe grape.

She happily touched them up and down, looking forward to their growth.

After looking at the grapes, I went to look at the potatoes. I couldn't see anything special about the potatoes; they were all growing in the soil, and no leaves had grown out.

After looking around in all directions, Xia Shiyu decided that she should just go check on the oranges again.

She led her two dogs toward the orange tree, where beautiful golden oranges hung from the branches, adding a touch of festive cheer.

Looking at the beautiful oranges, Xia Shiyu felt that even the most ordinary hills had become bright and vibrant. She picked two at random, peeled one open, and ate it. Huang Dou, who was next to her, saw that she had just peeled an orange and started shouting.

"Woof woof woof!" It kept making noises with its tongue sticking out, trying to attract attention.

Nuomi looked at her with a slightly reserved but also pleading expression.

Xia Shiyu shook his head, and the stingy dog ​​gave half of it.

"You can just eat this much to get some vitamins; eating too much will be bad for your health."

Dogs can eat small amounts of fruit. Although this orange isn't an ordinary orange, dogs are still ordinary dogs, so they can only eat a little bit to satisfy their craving.

The two dogs didn't care about anything else; they just bit off the orange and swallowed it as soon as it was handed to them.

The two dogs looked very happy while eating.

Xia Shiyu looked at the orange peel in her hand and finally put it away, thinking that maybe she could learn from online tutorials and make some candied oranges to eat.

After making her decision so cheerfully, she continued walking forward. The orange trees were planted neatly, and the view was very beautiful. However, Xia Shiyu also noticed something was wrong.

Why are there only green leaves left on the trees that used to bear rows of golden fruit? All the fruit has disappeared.

Xia Shiyu looked at the two orange trees with a puzzled expression. Why were there no oranges on the two trees? Had they been robbed again?
