Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 193: Guarding the House - Cute Pet Team

Li Xiang immediately went online to check the models and prices of robot dogs, and ultimately, he did not buy the 40 yuan model.

Because he found a better one with better performance, which costs 109 million RMB and can carry a maximum load of 120 kg.

How much does Jiang Caier weigh? More than 40 kilograms.

It has a large load capacity, long battery life, and is an "all-rounder". It can complete various difficult maneuvers and has excellent performance.

For example, it can perform a 360° rotation jump by quickly touching the ground on four legs, two legs or one leg, and can also smoothly cross obstacles by doing a side flip.

It can move freely in the rugged woods and leap from a height of 2.8 meters without any damage, showing its extremely strong stability.

In addition, this robot dog can swoop down a steep hillside full of gravel, or climb over rocks in low-lying waters, and can easily carry an adult man "over mountains and across ridges."

The maximum range is 40 kilometers when loaded with 50 kg, and more than 5 hours when empty.

In other words, Jiang Caier can go to school on the back of this robot dog in the future. Her high school is only about 18 kilometers away from her home.

After the robot dog was bought, its original "artificial intelligence" must have been "invaded" by Jiang Caier and completely "refined". Others need to use remote controls, mobile phone apps, and computer software to control it, but Jiang Caier controls it directly with her own brain, which is equivalent to a clone.

Sitting on such a robot dog and walking around the campus, she would naturally be the most beautiful girl in the school. No, she had already been the most beautiful girl in the school.

According to Li Xiang's estimation, this should be the first such expensive robot dog in the city. It would be absolutely cool to take it shopping or buying things.

"Brother, don't buy such an expensive one. Buy a cheaper one and save some money." Jiang Caier said.

In fact, there are many cheap ones on the Internet, some costing 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but their performance is far worse. Some can only carry 7 or 8 kilograms, and their legs will bend if they carry more than 10 kilograms. The speed and endurance are not good.

"No, this one. I think this one is pretty good." Li Xiang is never stingy with girls, and this is related to Jiang Caier's future practice, so he immediately called to make a reservation.

Jiang Caier clicked her tongue, more than one million, my God!
She suddenly felt that even if her parents knew that she was in love with Li Xiang, they probably wouldn't object.

Money is one thing, but the main thing is that Li Xiang is willing to spend money on her.

"When you go to college, I'll buy you a new energy car with artificial intelligence. Then you can hack into the car's system and control it."

Li Xiang remembered something, so he took out an imperial green glass bracelet and put it on Jiang Caier's wrist.

"So beautiful." Jiang Caier tied a beautiful bracelet. What girl would not like such beautiful jewelry?

"As long as you like it." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Give it to me later, it's not suitable now." Jiang Caier wore it for a while, then took it off and gave it back to Li Xiang. Because she was studying, it was too conspicuous to wear it, and the jade bracelet was easy to break. In comparison, the robot dog was more durable.

Moreover, this bracelet is estimated to be much more valuable than the robot dog.

The vacation passed quickly, and Jiang Caier returned to school to start her summer tutoring career. After the trip to the Sichuan Provincial Library, she now carried a provincial library with her, and her knowledge was naturally self-evident.

When he was speaking, writing, answering questions in class, and speaking as a representative of outstanding students at school meetings, he could inadvertently come up with many golden sentences and his literary talent was brilliant, which made his teachers and classmates admire him.

Jiang Caier is a man of culture and has a natural elegance. She is as knowledgeable as a provincial library and her temperament is even better than before.

She got another nickname at school, "Goddess of Wisdom".

She is beautiful and intelligent, and is the goddess in the eyes of many boys, but those boys dare not approach her or talk to her because they feel they are not worthy of her.

The continuous rainy weather finally ended and the weather became sunny.

At around five in the morning, Grandma Li Xiang got up and went to the vegetable garden to pick day lilies. Li Xiang naturally went up to help.

A few kittens followed, running around in the vegetable garden. The kittens have grown up a lot now, especially Xiaobai, who is full of vigor and looks like a big brother. The cow cat that used to bully him has now become a little follower.

Maybe the white cat is the ugliest in the cat world, but it is so powerful that even the ordinary dogs in the village are no match for it.

Daylilies are usually picked between 5 and 10 in the morning and need to be picked 1 to 2 hours before flowering.

Grandma Li Xiang loves this delicacy the most, but day lilies contain colchicine, which can cause poisoning if eaten directly. So after picking them, Grandma Li Xiang follows the old method passed down from her ancestors. When cleaning the day lilies, she pinches off the stamens, because the stamens contain a high level of colchicine. She then boils a pot of water, blanchs the day lilies without the stamens in the hot water for about 4-5 minutes, then picks up the day lilies and soaks them in clean water for about two hours to further remove any remaining toxins.

At this point, it can actually be used as food.

However, there were too many day lilies to pick. Now was the flowering season, so they could be picked almost every day. It was estimated that the harvest could continue for more than 40 days, and they could not be eaten up at all. So Li Xiang and his grandmother placed the blanched and soaked day lilies in a large round winnowing basket and placed it in a ventilated and dry place to dry.

The dried day lily can be stored and taken out to eat whenever you want. It is delicious whether it is served cold, stir-fried with meat, or stewed in soup.

……

Previously, Li Xiang commissioned He Zhixiang to rent a large warehouse on the border between Yunnan Province and Myanmar. He Zhixiang called and said that he had already picked out three places and hoped that Li Xiang would go there for an on-site inspection to see which one to choose.

Li Xiang said something to his grandmother and then went over.

When he travels far away now, he basically does not choose to take a car or a plane. Instead, he turns off his phone before dawn and runs at top speed. After all, it is only about 700 to 800 kilometers. He can run 200 to 300 kilometers in one sprint, take a short break in between, and run three times to almost reach the destination. It is very convenient.

After arriving there, we waited until around nine in the morning to turn on the camera, then contacted He Zhixiang and went to see the warehouse together.

In Yunnan Province, there are three cities that are well-known jade processing and trading markets, namely the provincial capital of Chuncheng, Tengchong and Ruili. Ruili and Tengchong are both on the border with Myanmar.

He Zhixiang's coffee estate in the suburbs of Baoshan is also relatively close to these two cities, especially Tengchong, which is originally a county-level city under the administration of Baoshan.

This coffee merchant from Yunnan Province had many connections in his hometown and surrounding cities, and helped Li Xiang select three warehouses for rent.

Two are located in Tengchong and one is located in Ruili.

The warehouses in Tengchong are approximately 800 and 500 square meters respectively, while the one in Ruili is over 900 square meters.

In Ruili, the warehouse conditions, security and surrounding facilities are better. After comprehensive comparison, Li Xiang chose the one of more than 900 square meters. Although it is not particularly large, it is enough.

Then He Zhixiang took him to see a jade processing factory. There was a jade processing factory in the local area. Because the boss's son was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money, the boss had no choice but to reluctantly transfer the jade workshop that he had run for many years. The workshop not only had various cutting, carving, polishing and other equipment, but also had ready-made skilled workers, more than 30 in total.

There is also a warehouse in the processing plant, but it is relatively small, only about 50 square meters, and can only temporarily store some jade raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

Li Xiang visited the factory, talked with some masters, and saw their craftsmanship, which he thought was okay. While Li Xiang was busy in Yunnan Province, his aunt Li Caihong returned to her parents' home with a suitcase.

……

"Mom, Xiaoxiang is not at home?" Li Xiang's aunt came home and found no one there, so she put the suitcase in the living room and went to the backyard.

Sure enough, I saw my mother busy in the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Grandma Li Xiang looked up and saw that her most filial daughter had returned. She was very happy and said, "He went to Yunnan Province for something. He said he was going to visit some warehouse and processing plant."

Li Caihong rolled up her sleeves and came over to help her mother tidy up the vegetable garden: "Xiao Xiang's business is getting bigger and bigger now."

"Yes, his parents should be relieved in heaven." Grandma Li Xiang said with a smile. In the past, the old lady felt sad when she mentioned her son and daughter-in-law who had suffered misfortune, but now her grandson has made progress, and the younger generations will only get better and better, which has diluted the grief.

"Yes, if my son was this good, I would smile so hard even when I sleep." Li Caihong smiled, and then said, "Mom, can I stay here for a few days?"

"Sure, why not? You can stay here as long as you want. Your nephew even reserved a room for you. Come on, I'll show you the room. There were a lot of tea and red wine piled up there before, but they were later moved to the store next door."

Li Caihong came back during the Dragon Boat Festival, but she didn't stay. She was busy working and her life was difficult, so she didn't have time to come back and stay.

So, Grandma Li Xiang took Li Caihong to the room, and the two of them chatted while cleaning up.

"Xiaohong, why do you suddenly want to come back and live here?" Grandma Li Xiang felt something was wrong, but it wasn't that she was unwelcome. She was very happy to have her daughter back.

Li Caihong hesitated to speak, and finally said: "That person came out."

"Which one?" Grandma Li Xiang was stunned.

Li Caihong said, "The one in jail..."

"Ah~," Grandma was shocked and said in astonishment, "Didn't he get a 20-year sentence? That time hasn't come yet, has it?"

“Maybe the sentence was commuted.”

"He was able to get a reduced sentence, despite doing so many bad things!" Li Xiang's grandmother was indignant, because that bastard had ruined her daughter's life. He really ruined her life.

Over the years, I don’t know how difficult it has been for the orphan and widow.

Li Caihong said quietly, "I heard that those who went in with him have already been released. They had their sentences reduced by four years, but he only had his sentences reduced by three years."

"He's out and is harassing you again, right? Didn't you divorced a long time ago? Call the police if he comes again!" Li Xiang's grandmother frowned.

"Mom, it's useless to call the police. The police just give a warning. Then that shameless person comes to me again to ask for money. He also goes to my workplace to make trouble. I'm not happy with my job, so I asked for leave and came back to hide for a few days." Li Caihong said very aggrievedly.

"Then stay at home for a few days. No, you can live here from now on. Your nephew will definitely have no objection." said Grandma Li Xiang.

"Yeah." Li Caihong stayed there immediately.

With my sister-in-law moving in, the house isn’t so lonely anymore.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when Li Caihong was accompanying her mother to work in the backyard, a man broke in.

Li Caihong turned pale with horror and shouted, "Why are you still following me here? Be careful or my nephew will beat you up!"

It was her ex-husband Zhu Chuanlei.

However, Li Xiang is not here now, and there are only her and her mother at home, so she can't help but feel anxious.

"Caihong, a husband and wife must be bound by a hundred days of grace. Our children are already so grown up. Do you have the heart to watch me starve to death?" Zhu Chuanlei said with a smile, licking his face.

Li Xiang's grandmother scolded, "My daughter has divorced you, leave now, you are not welcome in our home!"

"Mom, I've been released from prison and have turned over a new leaf. You said Xiaohong isn't married yet, so it's not good for her to be a widow. How about I get back together with her?"

Li Caihong cursed: "You wish, you still think I'm a little girl who can be fooled, get out of here!"

"You can go away, but give me five hundred!" Zhu Chuanlei asked for money in a nonchalant manner.

Li Caihong was furious because this was not a matter of five hundred. Five hundred today, three hundred the day after tomorrow, and he would come back to ask for more money in the future. Since this guy was released from prison, Li Caihong had been forced to ask for money several times. This made her already tight life even worse.

"Get out of here, or I'll call someone. There are a lot of security guards next door!" Li Xiang's grandmother said, and then she shouted at the top of her voice, "Help, help, help, there are robbers coming in to steal things."

"Well, I'm talking to you, old thing..." Zhu Chuanlei narrowed his eyes, became ferocious, and was about to step forward to attack. Li Caihong stood in front of him and was pushed down by her.

Just when he was about to take action, "Woof woof~", a dog rushed over like lightning from the distance, pounced on Zhu Chuanlei, knocked him to the ground, and bit his arm.

Of course it’s Erhuang.

"You dog, you dare to bite me? Do you want to live?" Zhu Chuanlei waved his other hand to hit Erhuang, but Erhuang let go and dodged away.

Zhu Chuanlei had just climbed up and hadn't yet stood firmly when three kittens flashed past his legs one after another like lightning.

"Ah~"

Zhu Chuanlei screamed and looked down. He saw several bloody marks on both of his legs, all from the cat's scratches.

"You damned cat!"

He cursed and wanted to chase the cat, but a loud and piercing "cock-a-doodle-doo" sound came from the sky behind him. A strong wind blew, and Zhu Chuanlei looked back and saw a majestic rooster falling from the sky. He quickly stretched out his hands to protect his face to avoid it, but was still scratched hard on the head by the rooster. He touched it with his hand and saw a handful of blood.

But fortunately, with his many years of experience in fighting, it was just a superficial injury.

He wanted to chase the rooster, but the rooster flapped its wings and flew to the tall persimmon tree.

At the same time, the two little geese rushed over bravely, stretching their long necks, quacking, and using their hard, toothed beaks to flash a metallic luster, trying to attack his crotch.
