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

Chapter 500 The Rabbit Ran Away
Xu Yue obviously didn't know how many rabbits Taoyuan Village had this year.

The rabbits roam freely on the mountain and are not kept in cages. Not to mention Xu Yue, even the employees responsible for managing the rabbits probably don't know the exact number.

Rabbits have an astonishing ability to reproduce.

How did they suddenly run out and spread all over the village?

While Taoyuan Village isn't exactly overflowing with tourists, the flow of visitors is certainly substantial, especially after the discovery of the large valley in the mountain scenic area, which has attracted even more tourists.

Of course, as the "Taoyuan" series becomes more and more famous, more and more people are coming to Taoyuan Village for tourism.

The scenic area has added another attraction, but the ticket price remains the same, making it one of the lowest among many scenic spots.

Besides, there's a Peach Blossom Village nearby that you can visit.

Most of the attractions in Taoyuan Village are free, except for the Four Seasons Flower Mountain, which charges a small entrance fee.

That small entrance fee is nothing to tourists, and it's definitely worth the money.

The abundance of rabbits in the village brought a pleasant surprise to the tourists.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Zhang Ruoxi asked curiously.

“The rabbits from the back mountain are running all over the village,” Xu Yue said. “My third uncle felt something was wrong, so he called me.”

"They escaped?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Did the formation on the mountain malfunction? Even though the fence couldn't stop them, it shouldn't have been enough to let so many escape."

“The formation is fine,” Xu Yue said, “it’s just that there’s a leader.”

"Ok?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression, having some guesses but also finding it hard to believe.

“Several rabbits mutated,” Xu Yue said. “They led a large group of rabbits to escape. I don’t know if it was to cover their tracks and make it easier for them to escape.”

“Mutating once or twice shouldn’t make it that smart, or even able to pass itself off as something else,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “That octopus has mutated several times, but it hasn’t shown any intelligence.”

"Who knows? Intelligence probably has nothing to do with how many times it has mutated," Xu Yue said. "Dahuang is quite smart, isn't it?"

"So what are you going to do?" Zhang Ruoxi nodded and said, "We can't just let those rabbits run around the village, can we? Those rabbits are more agile than ordinary rabbits, and they'll probably be really hard to catch."

Rabbits are hard to catch, let alone rabbits that are even more agile than wild rabbits.

"We still have to catch them," Xu Yue said. "Third Uncle has already ordered the security personnel and people in the camp to catch the rabbits."

If they take action, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

Nowadays, the security in the village is basically at the second level, and at the very least, it's at the first level.

The same is true for most of the people inside the camp.

Whether it's the Special Administration Bureau or the military, inside the camp, they all have to obey the orders of Instructor Xu Jianghe.

Catching rabbits is also a form of training.

"Dad, I want to catch rabbits too!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

The two children immediately became interested when they heard about catching rabbits.

"Then go and catch them!"

Xu Yue said with a smile.

The two children are still young and haven't started cultivating yet, but their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary children.

Even some frail adults may not be able to match it.

Just think about what they eat and drink every day and you'll understand.

Moreover, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi would occasionally use their true energy to cleanse their bodies, while Xu Chengyang would also give them medicinal baths from time to time.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they haven't started cultivating yet; once they do, their progress will be incredibly rapid.

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi took the two children downstairs.

The two children then rode off on their steeds, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, with great enthusiasm.

Sanbao followed, but it too was not spared.

Wang Yun also came out with Xu Yue's younger cousin.

The three people, along with three children, rode on three pandas and went to the village to catch rabbits.

This left many tourists speechless.

It's not exactly a secret that Xu Yue's family has three pandas, though it's not exactly common knowledge.

It's not that Xu Yue's family is special and can raise pandas.

Instead, the three pandas stayed at his house and refused to leave.

The forestry bureau reportedly came many times, but in the end, they could only let it go.

Those three pandas have been living with Xu Yue for many years now.

Now it's not just a ride for Xu Yue's children, but also a playmate.

One has to admire Xu Yue's genuine trust.

Pandas are bears, not cats.

He wasn't afraid of hurting the child.

However, judging from how much fun the three children were having, there was clearly no problem.

What left the tourists even more astonished was that the child, riding a panda, actually caught a rabbit.

It's so bright it's blinding!

Riding a panda and grabbing the ground, he was still such a small child.

Some tourists tried to catch the rabbits, but they were too fast to catch.

Some employees who were busy working in the fields also tried to catch them, but they basically failed.

Only the security personnel could catch them.

But it's not that easy.

You even need to bring weapons to catch them.

"Mr. Xu, did these rabbits escape from your farm?"

Some tourists asked Xu Yue about it out of curiosity.

Xu Yue is no longer an unknown figure. Compared to those billionaires on the Forbes Celebrity List, his fame is definitely not low. He is just low-key and doesn't appear in the media much. People generally only know his name but don't know his face.

But nowadays, how could any tourist who comes here not guess that the person in front of them is Xu Yue?

Besides Xu Yue, whose child can ride a panda?

"Yes!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "You flatter me, I hope it didn't bother you."

The tourist quickly waved his hand.

"Can we go and catch them?" the tourist asked. "We mainly want to experience it."

"Sure," Xu Yue nodded and said, "but be careful not to trample the crops. If you catch anyone, you can take them with you."

Can we catch them?

Xu Yue didn't know.

But how many can they actually catch?
A rabbit only costs a few dollars.

Those tourists weren't after the rabbit; they genuinely wanted to experience it.

When have city dwellers ever caught rabbits?
"really?"

The tourists' eyes lit up when they heard this.

They had eaten rabbits from the rural area of ​​Taoyuan, and those were definitely the best-tasting rabbits they had ever eaten.

The key is that the ones you catch yourself taste even better.

Should we inform them about this?

The tourists ran off to catch rabbits, but Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said to Xu Yue.

She clearly didn't think tourists would catch many rabbits.

"Let's forget about it," Xu Yue said. "If we announce it widely, countless tourists will flock here. If there are too many people, something could easily happen."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

There may not be many people catching rabbits, but there are definitely plenty of people watching the spectacle.

Watching farm workers catch rabbits is rather uninteresting, but watching tourists catch rabbits is undoubtedly very interesting.

"Did those mutated rabbits escape?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked, having tasted the mutated fish once, she was extremely interested in those that broke through the limits of mutation. She already enjoyed eating rabbit, and now that there was something even better, why wouldn't she want to try it?

“They can’t escape!” Xu Yue said. “They tried to run into the mountains, but I stopped them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression.

If you can freeze that rabbit with your divine sense, why do you let other rabbits run all over the village?
"With so many tourists in the village, all the rabbits that escaped don't know anything and are just waiting to be caught and taken back. Don't you think that's too weird?"

The two had been married for a long time, and Xu Yue naturally understood the meaning in Zhang Ruoxi's eyes, so he immediately offered an explanation.

He can keep several rabbits still, and there won't be any problems.

But how can we freeze all the rabbits in place?

Xu Yue and his group easily caught the rabbits, and the children, tired of playing, went home.

As for the remaining rabbits, someone else will take care of that.

Xu Yue called Xu Jianghe and Xu Chengyang and asked them to come over for rabbit.

The mutated rabbit.

Xu Chengyang didn't want to come; he was busy with his research.

This old man is now engrossed in research.

Researching elixirs, researching medicine, researching feed
However, he was still very interested in the mutated rabbits.

After all, the goal is to study how to refine the "feed" needed by poultry and livestock through alchemy.

Dry pot rabbit, fresh pot rabbit, boiled rabbit, braised rabbit, stir-fried rabbit, spicy rabbit
There are many ways to eat rabbit.

Li Xiurong's cooking skills have improved dramatically. She can cook several different kinds of rabbits, and they smell delicious.

"The bunny is so cute, I didn't expect it to taste so good."

While the child was eating, he suddenly said something that made everyone play.

Xu Yue thought the kid was going to say something about how cute rabbits were and why he wanted to eat them.

The meal lasted quite a while, and Xu Yue even drank some alcohol.

He hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, even though the infused liquor he made now was much better than the original, thanks to Xu Chengyang's improvements.

But for Xu Yue, there was really no desire.

Besides, he wasn't particularly fond of alcohol to begin with.

As for the Peach Blossom Spring Immortal Wine, he had even less interest in it.

Even though they are highly sought after by outsiders.

Nowadays, any wealthy person who doesn't keep Peach Blossom Immortal Wine at home will be looked down upon.

Moreover, Taoyuan Fairy Wine is highly sought after abroad.

It seems that none of the famous wines from abroad can compare to Taoyuan Xianniang.

Taoyuan Immortal Wine has already been sold at an exorbitant price overseas.

Very few of these wines are exported overseas, and like other things from Peach Blossom Village, their prices have increased many times over.

"Why did this rabbit undergo such a sudden transformation and break through to a higher realm? It shouldn't have been due to an accidental oversight, right?" Xu Chengyang asked. "There must be other reasons. Have you found them out?"

Poultry and livestock cannot be left behind.

They come in batches, one after another.

Rabbits do resemble fish in some ways.

Fish, but there are always some that escape the net.

Rabbits, of course, must have been lost as well.

After all, rabbits burrow, and the rabbits on the farm are free-range.

Moreover, Xu Yue started raising rabbits before he started raising fish.

The Chilongtan Reservoir already exists, so it's understandable that rabbits would also have one.

After all, when we were raising rabbits, we caught quite a few wild rabbits.

It's not about raising rabbits from a baby.

“It should be related to the dragon vein,” Xu Yue said. “There is some dragon vein energy dissipating from the mountain where the rabbits are raised. In addition, these rabbits should be wild rabbits that Da Huang caught from the mountain before. Later, I will ask him to keep some old rabbits and take another look.”

"Dragon vein energy?" Xu Chengyang nodded and asked, "Can dragon vein energy be collected and stored?"

"Grandpa, do you want to incorporate the dragon vein energy into the pills?" Xu Yue continued after seeing Xu Chengyang nod. "The dragon vein energy should be able to be used to refine pills, but how to collect and store it is something we need to figure out."

Farmers use the energy of dragon veins for farming and animal husbandry, but Xu Yue didn't know that dragon vein energy could be used to refine pills.

He can offer some advice on weapon crafting.

He had some knowledge of weapon crafting, but not of alchemy.

After the meal, Xu Yue accompanied Xu Chengyang to the hill where they raised rabbits.

Xu Chengyang's cultivation level was not as high as Xu Yue's, and his perception was naturally not as sharp.

However, he still sensed the dragon vein energy emanating from it.

Once a dragon vein takes shape, its energy dissipates, naturally benefiting all things.

The dissipated aura will not affect the dragon vein, but if a large amount is absorbed, then it's hard to say.

"There must be quite a few places like Peach Blossom Village, right?"

Xu Chengyang asked.

Taoyuan Village is actually located on the dragon vein.

This dragon vein is quite large and covers a wide area.

Most of the scenic area on the mountain is located on the dragon vein.

“Indeed, many hills in Taoyuan Village have dragon veins that have dissipated,” Xu Yue nodded and said. “There are some in Zhushan as well. However, the cattle and sheep raised there have been replaced one after another. We’ll have them keep a few old sheep and cattle to try.”

"What about the back mountain?"

Xu Chengyang asked, "Not only are chickens raised on the back mountain, but there are also tea trees."

He was concerned with the latter.

If the tea is nourished by the energy of a dragon vein, then the tea will definitely be even better.

“Yes!” Xu Yue said, “Some tea mountains also have it. This dragon vein is constantly growing stronger, and it is estimated that the entire Taoyuan Village will have dragon vein energy emanating from it in the future.”

Xu Chengyang didn't chat for long before returning to school, probably eager to integrate the dragon vein energy into his alchemy.

"If you want to raise mutated beasts, you need to consider not only their food, but also the location for raising them," Zhang Ruoxi said, looking at Xu Yue. "Raise them in Peach Blossom Village?"

“This dragon vein only benefits Taoyuan Village and Qinghe Village,” Xu Yue said. “Qinghe Village has a visitor center, so it’s obviously not suitable for aquaculture. Taoyuan Village, on the other hand, has the foundation for this. Whether it’s fish or poultry and livestock, they have them readily available.”

"To raise livestock on an existing site?"

Zhang Ruoxi seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked.

This seems to be much more convenient.

“Let’s give it a try first,” Xu Yue said. “Raising exotic beasts takes even longer. Researching feed and such would only shorten that time. Besides, raising them in Peach Blossom Village would be safer.”

why?
Peach Blossom Village is full of experts; no matter how much those poultry and livestock mutate, they are just a dish on the dinner table.

As for other places, it's hard to say.

Rabbits "escaped" from Taoyuan Village and are now all over the village. This incident, captured on film by tourists and posted online, has sparked considerable discussion.

Many tourists participated in catching rabbits.

Someone actually got caught.

Then we took it to a farmhouse restaurant in the village and ate it there.

There are guesthouses and farmhouses near the fishing center, and later even a hotel was built.

However, there are too many tourists, so some of them go directly to the villagers to rent rooms or even eat and stay at their homes, which is cheaper and offers a different experience.

Xu Yue did not prohibit this.

It would also be good to increase the income of the villagers.

Nowadays, every household in Taoyuan Village has built a new house, and the accommodation conditions are actually quite good.

Many tourists who come here by car prefer to stay in the villagers' homes.

It saves money and is convenient.

Of course, the conditions are definitely not as good as the guesthouses and hotels near the fishing center.

The scenery is naturally inferior as well.
