Chapter 16 Little Night Owl
The next day, the dragon dance came again as expected.
But this time she didn't come empty-handed. She passed by the supermarket and bought a bunch of things.
"Yesterday, I saw that there were no commercial buildings nearby. I guessed that it might be inconvenient for you to buy things, so I bought some daily necessities and vegetables."
Jian Ning was not polite to her, "Thank you, sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
Long Wu smiled shyly and helped put the things in the refrigerator. He remembered something: "By the way, my aunt came to my house yesterday and tasted the grapefruit. She said it was delicious and wanted to buy some. Ningning, is that okay?"
Jian Ning said in a casual tone: "Just pick some as you pass by and take them away."
Long Wu asked: "How much will you give Yuzi?"
Jian Ning waved her hand: "It's just a few grapefruits, no need to give them. Anyway, there are so many grapefruit trees in the Villa, I can't eat them all by myself."
Zhang Nan, who was paralyzed on the sofa outside, heard this. He immediately stood up and ran into the kitchen, saying anxiously: "How can that be done, Ning Ning, you have withdrawn from the circle now and have no source of income. Although this villa is big, it will not be available for a while. If you can’t cash it out, you can sell the grapefruit for a little money.”
Long Wu acknowledged this and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ning Ning, just pay according to the price. If you want me to take it, I won't feel at ease, not to mention my aunt is not short of money."
Jian Ning spent money to hire people to plow the land and buy seeds and agricultural tools, but she really had no money. She simply didn't want it to be troublesome and didn't want to complicate things.
“I don’t know what the price is.”
"It's simple, look at the price of grapefruit in the nearby fresh food store." Zhang Nan took out his mobile phone, opened an online fresh food store to check the price and said: "The price of a cut grapefruit is 19.9 per pound, and the price of a red-fleshed pomelo is 15.9 and a half. Jin, white honey pomelo 35.9 pounds.”
Jian Ning listened and smacked her tongue slightly: "Is grapefruit so expensive now?"
In her memory, when she was in college, the grapefruits she bought in the back streets of the school only cost six yuan each.
"Yes, your grapefruit is so delicious." Zhang Nan calculated in his mind and gave a price that he thought was reasonable: "How about selling it for 50 each?"
Long Wu frowned slightly.
Jian Ning was keenly aware of it and thought that the other party was too expensive.
Also, whoever spends 50 to buy a grapefruit should not be too outrageous.
She was about to speak, give her a step.
Long Wu spoke before her, and asked tentatively: "Is 50...too cheap? What about such a delicious grapefruit."
Jian Ning: "..."
Zhang Nan touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Indeed, such delicious grapefruits are much more delicious than those sold outside. This place has been abandoned for so long. Ningning has not used any medicine, they are all natural grapefruits. . Then imported grapefruits cost 99 yuan each, how about we sell them for 100 yuan each?”
Long Wu agreed: "I think the price is good."
The two of them sang together and settled on the price.
Jian Ning hurriedly said: "I haven't even cared about these grapefruits. It doesn't cost anything. One hundred is really too expensive. Let's just say 50 each."
Originally, I only bought it if my friends around me supported it, no outsiders.
In today's world, many people only make money from acquaintances, and the more familiar they are, the more likely they are to be cheated.
Her conscience would not allow her to do such a thing.
Even if you really want to make money, this is not the way to make money.
A grapefruit weighs about two to three kilograms and sells for 50 yuan each, which is about the same price as other grapefruits outside.
Zhang Nan raised his hand happily: "Then I want 20!"
Then I transferred the money directly using WeChat.
"Me too." Long Wu wanted to transfer money, but found that he had not added a WeChat friend, "Ning Ning, let's add a friend."
"Okay."
With the addition of friends, Long Wu transferred 1,000.
In just a short time, Jian Ning had two thousand dollars in her account.
She looked at the two girls in front of her, her eyes and heart feeling a little hot.
Jian Ning knew that her desire to buy Yuzi was genuine. She knew that she had no financial resources, so her desire to support her was also genuine.
"Hey, I suddenly thought of a good idea!" Long Wu suddenly had an idea, "Ning Ning, your villa has a good natural environment. You can try to be a pastoral style short video blogger."
"That's right." When Zhang Nan heard this, he immediately agreed: "Nowadays, urban life is fast-paced, and many people like to watch slow life videos to decompress. Ning Ning, didn't you say you want to farm? You usually take pictures and pick grapefruits. It would be nice to keep records of daily life such as growing vegetables and cooking without showing your face." Jian Ning thought about it and bound it to the system, but daily expenses still require money, and they do need a career.
Faceless short video bloggers are a good choice.
"Okay, let me give it a try."
-
With this plan in mind, Jian Ning acted quickly.
She looked at the general styles of other pastoral bloggers online, bought a mobile phone stand for stable shooting, and taught herself how to edit.
The cabbage in the vegetable field grew two small buds from the seeds, and the cabbage heart grew into leaves. The first two small buds withered, and the leaves grew bigger day by day.
Jian Ning took videos and recorded these.
The sun rises and sets, the clouds roll and relax.
She scattered flower seeds on both sides of the road outside the villa where she lived. With the blessing of the magic, the flowers bloomed enthusiastically.
It’s just that the villa is too big and the weeds are too difficult to clean.
There are a lot of grapefruit trees in the villa, twenty or thirty of them, scattered in various places.

When she goes to other places to pick grapefruit, she always holds a piece of bamboo in her hand. The grass is too deep to prevent stepping on snakes.
In the evening, while Jian Ning was watching videos, she came across free-range pheasants.
I remember when I was a kid, my grandma raised chickens in a fenced area behind a net. The chickens would find food on their own, and at most they would be fed with some rice.
Sometimes when the rice fields are harvested, the remaining rice in the fields cannot be picked clean, so chickens are sent over to peck it clean.
The chicken will come back at night and stand on the pole to sleep.
Of course, sometimes chickens can be dishonest and fly out to escape when they grow up. At this time, their feathers need to be clipped.
The chicken she bought in Beicheng didn't taste right. The chicken didn't taste like chicken at all. It was the chicken that grandma raised herself that tasted better.
Now that the house in her hometown has collapsed, grandma lives with her uncle and aunt in the provincial capital, and it is not convenient to raise chickens.
But Huayue Villa is so big and there are weeds everywhere, so she can raise them.
Jian Ning searched for nearby chicken farms. They were more than ten kilometers away, and they were neither too far nor too close.
She is now unemployed and has nothing serious to do. She plans to go there in person tomorrow.
Jian Ning couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about raising chickens.
She didn't have the conditions before, but now she has the conditions. When the time comes, she will make kiln chicken by herself.
During the Chinese New Year when I was a kid, when my uncle and aunt came back, the adults would cook chicken in the kiln and roast sweet potatoes in it if they were interested.
Having eaten kiln chicken once, the taste is unforgettable, let alone eating it several times.
Jian Ning was thinking about raising chickens when the cell phone in her hand rang.
She glanced at the caller number and immediately swiped right to connect.
"Grandma."
The old voice on the other side was filled with genuine concern: "My Ningning, what are you doing?"
Jian Ning curled her lips. She hadn't told her family about the Villa yet.
Let's wait until the villa is better and the time is right, and she can take her grandma over.
"Grandma, I'm ready to go to bed."
"Our little night owl went to bed so early today." The old lady teased her.
Jian Ning: "Grandma~"
"Okay, grandma doesn't want to make you happy anymore." The old lady said, her tone suddenly became serious: "Ning Ning, grandma has something to ask you."
Jian Ning was sensitive by nature and immediately noticed something was wrong, "Grandma, what's the matter?"
"Ning Ning, if your biological parents came to find you, would you still be willing to recognize them?"
