BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - 350: Fish Grass
“Come, Little Orange, look at Granny Mo!”
At the Shi residence, Grandma was chatting with Mrs. Mo on the phone with Little Orange in her arms.
When Mrs. Mo heard the introduction of “Granny Mo”, her heart ached.
She said, “Auntie, let Little Orange call me Grandma. It’s more intimate. 1 like Little Orange very much!”
How could she not like her own granddaughter?
However, their family had to endure it and not acknowledge the child. They could not even get close to her. They were afraid that the mastermind behind Mo Junyan’s car accident would have an opportunity.
However, she missed her granddaughter so much that she could only watch Little Orange grow up day by day through the Shi family’s video updates.
Granny Mo teased Little Orange for a while and asked Grandma with a smile, “Auntie, has Little Orange gained weight again?”
Although she could not see her in person, the little cutie in the video was chubby. Her limbs were like lotus roots.
Grandma smiled and said, “That’s right. It’s only been two months, but she’s already become a little fatty. She’s already 16 catties and 64 centimeters.”
“She’s growing up quite quickly!” Madam Mo said with a smile. “You guys raised the child really well!”
Grandma smiled and said, “It’s mainly because this child is easy to raise. She eats and sleeps. He doesn’t cry or make a fuss. She just grunts when she’s hungry and grunts when she poops. I’ve raised so many children, and I think this child is the easiest to raise!”
Mrs.Mo smiled and said, “Little Orange is just like a little cotton-padded jacket. She’s very considerate!”
Then, she asked, “Where’s Little Orange’s mother?”
It seemed that she did not see the child’s mother every time she video-called the Shi family.
Someone in her family was about to die of yearning.
Grandmother smiled and said, “This child has been running outside ever since she finished her confinement.”
Mrs. Mo replied,”Although she has finished her confinement, she still has to pay attention to the important things in the next hundred days.”
Grandma said a little helplessly, “This child paid lip service and ran away in the end. Some time ago, she opened a shop online and sold farm goods for everyone. In a month, she only received a commission of two hundred dollars. Not to mention the salary before meals and employees, it’s not even enough for the shop’s credit monthly rent. There’s also the shop promotion fee. I know that she did these things to help the villagers. They could sell the things at home, improve their lives, and let everyone gradually walk the path of becoming rich!”
Mrs. Mo nodded. “Yes, Mingming is a good child!” This good child would be a member of the Mo Family in the future. “How are the crops growing on the land Mingming contracted?”
“Mmm, not bad!” Grandma smiled happily. “You don’t say. Planting peanuts, rice, and watermelon sheds greatly reduces diseases and pests, and it’s easier to manage. Anything in the greenhouse grows much better than outside. Nanan is involved in managing these things.”
“Mingming is so awesome!” Mrs. Mo praised her future daughter-in-law proudly. “Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also smart and capable!”
Grandmother also nodded and said, “It’s just that sometimes, this child gives us the feeling that she’s too mature and steady! She doesn’t look like a twenty-one or twenty-two-year-old girl at all.”
A child that age should be lively and energetic.
A child’s maturity and stability came with a price.
If possible, none of them wanted Gu Qingming to become mature and steady overnight.
They just hoped that she could live a carefree life.
Madam Mo nodded. “Mingming was a sensible child to begin with! However, she’s just become more sensible now.”
Gu Qingming did not know that her grandmother and Mrs. Mo were talking about her in the video call.
She was in the field again.
It had been more than a month since they went down to the greenhouse. They were lush and green, and their growth was gratifying. The villagers who passed by the greenhouse were all amazed by their growth.
In particular, those vegetables were thick and watery, and were much better than open-air vegetables.
All the villagers who passed by the greenhouse had the urge to pluck it and make it for themselves so that they could taste it.
“Little Gu, you came again today!”
She invited more than ten villagers to weed the vegetable shop.
Spiritual spring water was very effective for the growth of vegetables and weeds, so they grew very thick.
If these weeds were not removed in time, they would definitely fight with the crops in the greenhouse for nutrients.
Gu Qingming saw piles of weeds on the field ridge. If she did not distinguish them carefully, these weeds really looked like chives. They were very clean after the soil was smashed away.
Liu Limei noticed Gu Qingming’s gaze and explained, “These grass grow very well and have never been contaminated with pesticides. 1 want to bring them back to feed the fish!”
“Feed fish?” Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “Do fish eat this grass?”
“Yes!” Liu Limei smiled and explained, “Grass carp, carp, and carp all know how to eat grass.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Oh, then how big is your pond? How many fish do you raise?”
Liu Limei said, “Yes, my family opened a fish pond that has six plots of land. 1 heard from my father-in-law that they released 300 small fish seedlings.”
“Do you feed your fish with grass every day?” Gu Qingming asked curiously.
“That’s right. My father-in-law plucks grass for the fish every morning and night. He feeds them every morning and night. By the end of the year, we can fish them out and sell them,” Liu Limei said.
“Aren’t you going to use fish food?” Gu Qingming asked again.
Liu Limei shook her head and said, “No. Fish fed with feed grow fast, but the fish meat isn’t delicious. They would have a fishy smell. What we want to sell is the authentic fish that feeds on grass.”
At this point, she smiled and said, “You don’t say. Every year during the New Year, many villagers come to my house to book fish. After all, a village knows its roots. The fish that is fed only grass instead of feed is fresher, and the fish smell is not that strong. Whether it’s fried or steamed, it’s very delicious.”
Gu Qingming nodded and looked at the grass pile. She asked, “What grass do these fish eat? What grass is this?”
Liu Limei introduced, “This is millet. It looks like rice and chives, but it’s smaller and more tender than rice. It’s the best for feeding fish. Also, this is ox tendon grass. This is…”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “So this grass can be used to feed the fish!”
However, she thought to herself, “Although this is just grass, it has also absorbed the spiritual spring water. It’s best to feed it to the fish and cows. The meat of the fish will definitely be more tender.”
At the thought of this, Gu Qingming’s eyes suddenly lit up. She thought to herself, “That’s right. 1 can also raise fish and cows. In the future, after the fruits are harvested, those seedlings can be used to feed cows and fish.”
Of course, she really didn’t know if the fish ate straw or peanuts.
Raising cows with straw was actually the best..
