Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 303 Peach Blossom Village, a place you won't want to leave once you've arrived.

What is the charm of Taoyuan Village?
Xue Yan had been very curious before she came.

After arriving, aside from the pleasant scenery at the guesthouse, I felt that the air was much better than in Yanjing.

But she understood it the moment he petted the panda.

Petting a cat is nothing!
Petting a panda is the ultimate experience.

"This giant panda is very intelligent."

Xue Yan petted the panda and said with some surprise.

Xiao Bao is no longer a panda cub; he's grown quite a bit now.

Of course, being "understanding" is because it gives the impression that one can comprehend Zhang Ruoxi's words.

“The most intelligent and human-like of them all isn’t these three pandas,” Zhang Ruohai said, “but that big yellow dog. By the way, where’s Big Yellow?”

"They went for a stroll with Little Black and Little Flower, didn't they?"

Zhang Ruoxi said it casually.

Big Yellow lives with Uncle San, but Little Black and Little Flower often follow it around.

Today, Dahuang is undoubtedly the king of dogs in the entire Taoyuan Village, and even in several nearby villages.

All the dogs followed his lead.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua are the Second King and the Third King.

"Hey, you're back."

Xu Yue looked out of the villa and said calmly.

Everyone looked over and saw that Big Yellow, Little Black, and Little Flower were each carrying a snake in their mouths.

That snake was quite large.

"rhubarb!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Jianghe roared angrily and was about to step forward to beat up Da Huang.

As if he had expected this, Da Huang flung the snake out of its mouth and ran ahead of Wang Yun, acting cute and charming.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua were stunned for a moment, then followed closely behind.

However, the object of their affectionate and cute behavior was not Wang Yun, but Zhang Ruoxi.

"What are they?"

Xue Yan asked, somewhat surprised and puzzled.

“Dahuang has been bringing back snakes that it has killed recently,” Wang Yun said, patting Dahuang’s head. “If you do this again, I’ll beat you up!”

Seeing Da Huang running to Wang Yun and acting cute, Xu Jianghe was both amused and exasperated.

"You don't learn well!"

Zhang Ruoxi tapped Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua on the head and said with a smile.

"Do they want to eat snake soup?"

Zhang Ruohai suddenly said something that surprised everyone.

"Wang!"

Big Yellow barked once, then nodded!

He really nodded!
It seems to be saying: He's right!

Not only was Xue Yan dumbfounded, but Zhang Ruohai and Han Lingxue were also stunned.

Can it really understand human speech?

This dog is incredibly clever!

Being able to understand human nature and being able to comprehend human speech are two different things.

"I still want snake soup!" Xu Jianghe said indignantly. "How about I catch you a chicken and make you a dragon and phoenix soup?"

"Wang!"

Big Yellow barked and nodded frantically, then started acting cute and trying its best to please.

"Then go and catch two chickens!"

Xu Yue spoke with a smile.

"Wang!"

Da Huang looked at Xu Yue, barked, and then ran over and rubbed against Xu Yue's leg, seemingly to express its gratitude.

"Wang!"

Big Yellow called out to Little Black and Little Flower again.

San Gou then ran out again.

"They wouldn't actually go and catch chickens, would they?"

Xue Yan couldn't help but ask a question.

If we really manage to bring the chicken back, then this dog is probably more than just intelligent.

"We'll find out soon enough," Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile, then looked at Xu Yue and asked, "Are you really planning to make them Dragon and Phoenix Soup?"

"Consider it a New Year's gift for them!" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Besides, do you think they can't do anything about it?"

What can it do?

Han Lingxue asked with some curiosity.

She actually knew that Dahuang was very smart.

This is no secret in Taoyuan Village at all.

The villagers all say he's about to become a spirit.

“He caught a pheasant before, but we didn’t like it, so he took it to the farmhouse and asked the people there to process it.”

Zhang Ruoxi spoke.

Xu Yue's family no longer looks down on wild game.

They said the ones they raised themselves were even worse than the ones they asked for.

Of course, the main reason is that everyone could see that Dahuang brought it back not for them, but because it wanted to eat it.

"They actually process it over there?" Xue Yan asked in surprise. "Do they even understand it?"

Xu Yue and the others could understand what Da Huang meant because it was their pet.

Would the people at the agritainment venue understand?

"I guessed it was all a bit of guesswork," Zhang Ruoxi said. "However, after eating it, Dahuang probably thought it didn't taste as good as the wild chickens raised in the back mountains, so he stopped going to the mountains to catch wild chickens."

"Won't it go to the chicken farm to catch them?" Zhang Ruohai asked. "Wild pheasants aren't tasty, so it should like the ones raised in the back mountains, right?"

"It won't do it without my consent."

Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said with a smile.

Wang Yun nodded in agreement.

She really likes Big Yellow.

Dahuang's clean fur is largely thanks to Wang Yun.

Previously, Wang Yun would bathe Da Huang every day.

Now that she's pregnant, Xu Jianghe won't allow it.

However, Xu Jianghe also bathed Dahuang every day.

Xu Yue had seen it twice; Da Huang always looked utterly hopeless, which was quite comical.

Not only Dahuang, but Xiaohei and Xiaohua also take baths frequently.

Although they were all mongrels, Xu Yue's three dogs were much cleaner than the other dogs in the village.

Dogs are bathed more frequently than pandas.

They chatted like that for a while, and then they saw Big Yellow return with Little Black and Little Flower, each of them carrying a big rooster in their mouths.

Xue Yan was dumbfounded.

Did they really understand?

To be precise, Da Huang understood.

As for the remaining two, they should be done accordingly.

Xue Yan could tell that the two mongrel dogs, one black and one spotted, were not as intelligent as the big yellow dog.

That big yellow dog is the leader.

"You agreed to let Big Yellow catch chickens again?"

Li Xiurong came out of the kitchen and saw Dahuang biting a rooster, then looked at Xu Yue.

She clearly understood that Da Huang wouldn't go to the back mountain to catch chickens unless Xu Yue agreed.

"Hey, where are the three snakes now?" Xu Yue said. "They want to drink the Dragon and Phoenix Soup!"

"Still drinking dragon and phoenix soup?" Li Xiurong said with a sneer. "You might as well give it Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

"Can you?"

Xu Yue said with a smile.

Li Xiurong's cooking skills have improved significantly, but her dishes are mostly Sichuan cuisine and home-style cooking.

She really doesn't know how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall or anything like that.

“Now even three dogs are acting like big shots!” Li Xiurong complained. “Luckily, those three big shots are vegetarians.”

Who are the other three old men?

Those are, of course, the three giant pandas.

Giant pandas originally ate meat, but now 99% of their diet consists of bamboo.

In addition, we also eat some of the vegetables and fruits from the farm.

As for meat, they weren't given any. So in Li Xiurong's mind, giant pandas were vegetarians.

"Let's treat it as a New Year's gift for them," Xu Yue said. "We can also try some."

"You don't want to eat them, do you?" Li Xiurong said. "Never mind, I'll have your dad get those three snakes out."

Xu Yue smiled.

Li Xiurong usually doesn't call him that; she calls him Dad.

Dinner was undoubtedly very lavish.

Dragon and Phoenix Soup is just one of the less important dishes.

However, it does taste very good.

Xue Yan experienced the charm of Peach Blossom Village once again.

too delicious.

Even though she has eaten top-quality cuisine, and more than once.

But compared to this place, it seems to be much worse.

Cooking skills?

I'm afraid not.

No matter how good your cooking skills are, can you really compare to the famous chefs in five-star hotels?

It's probably still a problem with the food.

Is there any difference?

There are, of course, differences.

The food that Xu Yue's family eats is mostly grown in the sacred land.

Even if it isn't, its spirituality is unmatched by any other place in the village.

The things that grow from them will naturally be different.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, and then Xu Jianghe took Wang Yun and her parents home.

"No need to see me off! I'll just take a walk to digest my food!"

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi offered to drive Zhang Zelin and the others there, but were refused.

Zhang Qiming and the others nodded in agreement.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group headed towards the guesthouse in twos and threes.

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing that Xue Yan seemed hesitant to speak, Zhang Ruohai smiled and asked.

"I'm wondering how Sister Ruoxi maintains her figure," Xue Yan said. "With such delicious food, you'd definitely eat a lot more! I feel like I'd gained weight after just a few days here, but your sister has maintained such a great figure."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruohai was speechless.

"Aren't you a martial artist?" Zhang Ruohai said. "Would someone who practices martial arts be afraid of getting fat?"

"Who says martial artists can't be fat?" Xue Yan said. "Aren't there plenty of big, strong guys like that?"

"Maybe my sister is just naturally not fat," Zhang Ruohai said. "Besides, she's used to eating like this. Didn't you see she didn't eat much?"

"With such a table full of delicious food, who cares what others are eating!" Xue Yan said. "Good food should not be wasted!"

Xue Yan was so focused on eating that she didn't pay attention to anything else.

She obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Zhang Ruohai was not surprised by this.

He was clearly aware of this as well.

"You can't let delicious food go to waste, but you can't let your figure go to waste?" Zhang Ruohai said. "Just eat more and exercise more. Don't worry, I won't mind if you gain weight."

"You still look down on me?" Xue Yan said, "Watch out or I'll beat you up!"

"You think you're so great just because you've learned a little kung fu?" Zhang Ruohai said. "There are so many people in Taoyuan Village who could crush you with a single finger, you can't even count them on two hands. I've never seen anyone think they're so great like you."

"As long as I can beat you, that's enough," Xue Yan said. "But are you sure you're not bragging? Are there really that many experts there now? Oh, I forgot to mention you once said there are troops stationed in the village."

Facing a skilled soldier, Xue Yan had no confidence.

Zhang Ruohai glanced at Xue Yan and didn't continue the topic.

Why should a man argue with a woman?

Whether it's reasonable or not, right or wrong, the result is the same anyway.

Can't win.

“The night view from the guesthouse is quite beautiful,” Zhang Ruohai said. “Let’s enjoy the night view before we go back.”

"Okay!"

Xue Yan nodded.

Is the night view beautiful?

Needless to say.

Xue Yan has been to many low-end tourist destinations, but she has to admit that the night view here is beautiful.

What about during the day?
The next morning, Xue Yan looked at the flowers covering the mountain and was filled with shock.

She also loves flowers, so she can naturally tell that many flowers don't bloom in this season at all.

The key point is that it's winter now.

There's no greenhouse here!

"Can't figure it out?"

Zhang Ruohai appeared behind her without her noticing and asked with a smile.

"How could these words bloom in this season?" Xue Yan asked. "The problem is, it's still winter."

“What’s so surprising about that? You’ll get used to it after you see it a lot,” Zhang Ruohai said. “My brother-in-law is now growing rice in the desert. It’s perfectly normal for him to grow some out-of-season flowers here.”

"Desert? Rice cultivation?" Xue Yan looked at Zhang Ruohai and said, "I've had a few years of schooling, do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

“Well, to be precise, it’s not paddy rice, but dryland rice,” Zhang Ruohai said. “There’s no point in lying about this. I’ll take you to see it later.”

"It smells so good!"

A gust of wind blew by, but it didn't make Xue Yan feel cold; instead, it gave her a refreshing fragrance.

That feeling was so comforting.

Perhaps this is part of the charm of Peach Blossom Village.

The fragrance wasn't strong, but it had an indescribable refreshing quality.

“It’s very pale!” Zhang Ruohai said. “I’ll bring you here again in March when the peach blossoms are in bloom. That’s when Peach Blossom Village is at its most beautiful.”

Xue Yan nodded.

The place is named after "peach," so it's only natural that the peach blossoms are most beautiful when they bloom.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Ruohai said. “Let’s go to Grandma’s for breakfast. There are many flowers worth seeing along the way. All kinds of flowers are planted on the hills around here.”

Xue Yan walked down the mountain until she could barely walk anymore.

I passed by it for the first time yesterday, but I was in the car and didn't have a chance to look at it at all.

The second time I passed by, it was already evening.

Although there were lights, the room appeared dim.

Besides, Xue Yan didn't even notice.

"Come and see later, it's not like we're leaving right away," Zhang Ruohai said. "We can't keep Grandma and the others waiting too long."

The banquet was a little reluctant to end, but they quickened their pace.

Making elders wait is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

It's still delicious, morning and night.

"Now I understand why your grandfather and the others came to Taoyuan Village and never left."

After breakfast, Zhang Ruohai took Xue Yan for a walk around the village.

Our first stop was naturally Huashan.

On the way, Xue Yan couldn't help but say to Zhang Ruohai.

“You’ll understand better after you stay for a few days,” Zhang Ruohai said. “This is just the beginning!”

"Peach Blossom Village, a place you won't want to leave once you've arrived!" Xue Yan said. "Where are your dad and the others? Did they go to your sister's house?"

“My dad should be out fishing,” Zhang Ruohai said. “My mom should be going to check on my sister’s aloe vera plants.”

Aloe vera?

Xue Yan's eyes lit up.

That’s good stuff!
The first time she went to Zhang Ruohai's house, his mother gave her a pot of aloe vera.

She felt it was the best gift she had ever received.

"A lot of crops have been planted in the village?" Xue Yan asked. "I saw quite a few planted near your sister's villa."

"It's alright!" Zhang Ruohai said. "It's at least several dozen acres!"

"You call this 'okay'?" Xue Yan said. "Do you know how much each aloe vera plant would be worth if sold? And there are dozens of acres of them, so is this really okay?"

“The ones grown in the ground aren’t as good as the one my mom gave you,” Zhang Ruohai said. “But there should be some outside my sister’s villa. But that’s really nothing.”

"Then what counts?"

Xue Yan immediately retorted with a question.

"Does that count as tens of thousands of century-old ginseng roots?"

Zhang Ruohai paused for a moment, then asked a question.

Xue Yan was stunned.
