Fantasy FarmCh43.2 - Milk

After bringing the cow back, Lu Qingjiu told Yin Xun to feed it something, then he and Zhu Miaomiao went to the glass factory in the city to order a batch of glass bottles. 

The process of ordering the glass bottles went quite smoothly. After handing the drawings to the owner and telling him his other requests, he was told that he could come pick up the goods next month after paying the deposit. ITuXqV

Having ordered the glass bottles, Zhu Miaomiao then told Lu Qingjiu to remember to buy some high-end packing boxes off of the internet. It would be best if he could get them customised. After the initial preparation was done, the two of them discussed pricing. Lu Qingjiu was more kind, saying how about three hundred per bottle? Who would have thought that Zhu Miaomiao would slap her hands on his shoulders, saying, “If we’re doing this, we’re going to make premium products. Three hundred per bottle has too low a profit margin. This kind of one-of-a-kind product needs to have a price worthy of it.” She held up five fingers.

“Five hundred?” Lu Qingjiu asked.

“Five thousand!” Zhu Miaomiao said, “When you sell them, you have to make it clear, if they don’t grow hair they’ll get a complete refund! And you’re only going to sell 100 bottles per month, and limit it to one bottle per account.”

Lu Qingjiu said, “Five thousand is a little too evil.” CaTlMA

Zhu Miaomiao shook her head. “How is is evil, why don’t you go and ask how much a hair transplant costs. Besides, a hair transplant doesn’t even guarantee 100% success. Five thousand for a bald person to grow a head of hair? Everyone will be chomping at the bit to buy some.”

Zhu Miaomiao’s words were indeed reasonable and Lu Qingjiu didn’t want to waste too much energy on the Taobao store. He returned to Shuifu village for a slower paced life, if he made himself too busy, it wouldn’t be worth it. Thus, Lu Qingjiu accepted Zhu Miaomiao’s suggestion in the end and decided to set the price at 4,999. One yuan less than five thousand.

With Zhu Miaomiao’s help, the opening of Lu Qingjiu’s Taobao store was a success.

Zhu Miaomiao’s holiday was now over, so she had to go back to work. Lu Qingjiu asked her if she had made any plans for National Day. Zhu Miaomiao laughed bitterly and said that she’d definitely be working overtime for National Day, the next time she could come back would probably be New Year’s Eve.

Lu Qingjiu sent her off on the train before going home. After getting home, he saw Yin Xun sulking as he sat in the courtyard. He wasn’t like Bai Yuehu, his emotions were always displayed on his face. Once he heard Lu Qingjiu arrive home, he called out, aggrieved, “Jiu-er, I fear I can’t help that cow.”

Lu Qingjiu asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yin Xun said, “He won’t eat anything I try to feed him.”

Lu Qingjiu replied, “Won’t eat?” He remembered Bai Yuehu had said that thing would be fine eating grass. “Where’s Yuehu?” KdPai6

“I don’t know.” Yin Xun rubbed his nose. “He seems to have been called out by someone.”

Lu Qingjiu said, “Since it won’t eat grass, then try feeding it something else?”

Yin Xun, “Feed it what?”

Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment. “I remember that animals like cows all like eating fruits. Don’t we have some apples at home? Why don’t we try those?” XcNVux

Yin Xun said, “Fuck, feeding it apples, isn’t that too luxurious?”

Lu Qingjiu said, “Those apples are so sour, didn’t you not want to eat them?” The apples were bought in town a few days ago. They weren’t like the ones they grew at home. Those apples looked red, but they tasted incredibly bland. Don’t even mention Yin Xun, even the never-picky Bai Yuehu had no interest in them. Originally, Lu Qingjiu had intended to feed them to Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua, so feeding it to the cow now wasn’t a big deal.

Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu took the apples to the cowshed that was next to the pig sty. Fortunately, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua were asleep at the moment, otherwise, if they saw Lu Qingjiu feeding their apples to the cow, they would definitely pitch a fit.

Lu Qingjiu brought an apple to the cow’s mouth. The cow looked at the apple, then, sure enough, opened its mouth and took a bite, polishing off the apple with a few crunches. After eating, it smacked its lips. Its big, watery eye stared straight at the other apples in Lu Qingjiu’s hands. Clearly, it still wanted to eat. uLOQ4E

Lu Qingjiu simply placed all of the apples on the ground in front of it. As he watched it start eating happily, its single, giant eye curved into a joyous arc. Paired with those long, long eyelashes, it really looked incredibly cute.

Yin Xun, who stood off to the side, watched the cow eat the apples. He sighed tiredly, “People really can’t be single for too long. If you’re single for too long, you can even find a cow pretty.”

Bai Yuehu had gone off somewhere unknown and didn’t come back all night. It wasn’t until 6am the next morning that Lu Qingjiu saw him enter through the door to the courtyard.

Lu Qingjiu’s hands were currently occupied by folding the dumplings they were going to have for breakfast that morning. He greeted him, “You’re back.” O8x2dI

“En,” Bai Yuehu said, “Is there food?”

“There is,” Lu Qingjiu said, “Have these fruits to stave off your hunger first, the dumplings still need a while.”

Bai Yuehu said alright.

After Lu Qingjiu was done cooking the dumplings, he went to the cowpen with a basin, preparing to get some milk. This cow was unexpectedly very obedient, standing in place and letting him milk it. The milk from the market nowadays all looked rather diluted because they had all been pasteurized, but there was no such problem with the milk from his own home. Lu Qingjiu remembered that the milk he drank when he was young was absolutely fresh. That kind of milk would form a thick layer of milk skin on top after boiling, which would fill one’s mouth with the taste of milk when eaten. It was incredibly fragrant. 5dGRdy

After going to the city, Lu Qingjiu never had the chance to drink that kind of milk again. Now that he saw it again, he became a little nostalgic. 

But as he was milking the cow, Lu Qingjiu felt that this milk had a different fragrance from ordinary milk. When he smelled it carefully, he unexpectedly found that the milk had the faint aroma of apples. At first, Lu Qingjiu thought he’d smelled it wrong but when he took the milk back to the house, the just-arrived Yin Xun asked, “This milk is so fragrant. Why does it smell like apples?”

“It really does? I even thought that I smelled it wrong.” Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised.

Bai Yuehu didn’t have much of a reaction. He asked, “You two fed him apples yesterday?” ZtuqR6

“Yeah,” Yin Xun said, “He wasn’t willing to eat grass, so we just fed him a few apples.”

Bai Yuehu said, “Then this is normal.”

Lu Qingjiu realised what he meant when he said that. He felt that this cow was truly different from the rest, its milk would have the flavour of whatever it ate. Yin Xun, this thing, also understood. He eagerly set off, planning on feeding the cow chocolate, but was cold-heartedly stopped by Lu Qingjiu.

Chocolate was poisonous to a lot of animals after all, he couldn’t just feed it to the cow like that. If the cow reacted badly, what would he do then? Lu Qingjiu decided to first check the cow’s usual eating habits before deciding on what flavour of milk he wanted to drink. 2SvFsC

After the milk was cooked, it didn’t have even a hint of gaminess, full of the strong flavour of milk. Some people who didn’t drink milk much would be unused to that strong milky scent, but the milk from the cow was mellow and rich, yet not greasy. Rather, it actually had the fragrance of apples, incredibly tasty.

Hence, that day everyone in the house had their lives change for the better. Even though it wasn’t much, every person and every animal got a cup of apple flavoured milk.

Lu Qingjiu took advantage of his free time to look up what one needed to take note of when raising a dairy cow. It was just that the more he found, the more he felt like there was something strange. He raised his head and asked Yin Xun, “Wait… wait a minute, is our family’s dairy cow a male or a female?”

Yin Xun replied, “Male ah.” TuF3h1

Lu Qingjiu, “…It’s really a bull?”

Yin Xun was still absorbed in reminiscing over the flavour of the milk from that morning and didn’t notice the strange expression on Lu Qingjiu’s face. “Of course he’s a male, I saw his XX, it’s really long.”

Lu Qingjiu, “…” What the hell are you looking at all day long? Aren’t you afraid of burning your eyes?

Even though Yin Xun had also seen cows before, all the cows in the village were raised for tilling the soil. Practically none of them were specially raised for their milk. He hadn’t seen anything like this, but when he saw the disturbed look on Lu Qingjiu’s face, he asked blankly, “What’s wrong? Jiu-er?” RYGSD1

Lu Qingjiu said, “…” He stared at the information he’d found on his phone and didn’t speak for a long time.

Yin Xun didn’t understand what was wrong, so he moved over to take a look. The more he read, the further his jaw dropped. By the end, his jaw was falling off his face. “What the fuck, what the fuck, what is this thing?”

They saw the information explain in full detail why there were no bulls who could produce milk. Cattle which could produce milk were all cows which were in their lactating period. So as long as he was a bull, he could not be a dairy cow — That raised some questions: Whether their family’s cow was male or female, if it was male, why could he produce milk, and if it was female, then what was with that certain organ hanging down at her crotch?
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun exchanged looks. They both felt as if the sweet taste of milk in their mouth had changed slightly. Lu Qingjiu didn’t bother thinking about it anymore. He walked in silence to the courtyard, sat down by the currently napping Bai Yuehu’s side, and spoke, “Yuehu?”

Bai Yuehu opened his eyes to look at Lu Qingjiu. “En?” ojmP9f

Lu Qingjiu asked, “That… Just, that… our family’s cow, is it male or is it female?”

Bai Yuehu, “Male, ah.” His tone was calm, as if there was nothing wrong with what he’d just said.

Lu Qingjiu forced out, “Then even though he’s male, he can still produce milk?”

Bai Yuehu blinked, seeming to not understand what Lu Qingjiu meant. 6qXhPk

Lu Qingjiu could only ask, “Then producing milk isn’t something only done by females?”

Bai Yuehu said, “Yeah?”

Lu Qingjiu, “…”

Bai Yuehu said, “Who said producing milk was something only done by females? If you wanted, I could make you produce milk.” Gvqdya

Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu’s expression twisted for a moment. He hurried waved his hands, saying, no need, no need, it was just a casual question.

Bai Yuehu said, “That cow is male, but their species can all produce milk. The quality of the milk is also very good, it’s very popular. What, you don’t like him?”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Lu Qingjiu still hadn’t recovered from the shock of him also being able to produce milk.

Bai Yuehu seemed to have misunderstood what Lu Qingjiu meant. He blinked and said, “If you don’t like him, we can just kill and eat his beef. Even though the quality of his beef is pretty average, we won’t have to have him take up space at home that way.” c96wAS

Lu Qingjiu said, “No no no, his milk is delicious, both Yin Xun and I really like it, there’s no need to kill and eat him.”

Bai Yuehu said, “Alright, as long as you like it.” He clearly didn’t quite understand Lu Qingjiu’s shock. To him, males producing milk was so common it couldn’t be any more common. So from beginning to end, he didn’t understand what Lu Qingjiu was shocked about.

In a daze, Lu Qingjiu went to the cowpen and saw Yin Xun, that thing, eagerly feeding the cow chocolate with delight on his face. The cow was also eating with relish, even wagging his short tail like a dog’s.

Yin Xun, hearing Lu Qingjiu’s footsteps, said happily, “Jiu-er, we can drink chocolate milk now!” vfmn1z

Lu Qingjiu, “…”

Yin Xun said, “What, did you get your answer? Is he a bull or a cow?”

Lu Qingjiu said, “A bull.”

Yin Xun said, “Oh.” boBxiW

Lu Qingjiu thought he would say something more, but after Yin Xun “oh”-ed, he focused his attention back on his beloved bull. Lu Qingjiu finally couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Don’t you want to ask how bulls can also produce milk?”

Yin Xun said, “Not really, actually.”

Lu Qingjiu’s curiosity was piqued. “Why not?”

Yin Xun said, “Because after I died and came back to life, I realised that there are some things that just can’t be explained by science or logic. And compared to what’s going on with my body, a bull that can produce milk doesn’t seem all that special…” o2t4I9

Upon hearing Yin Xun say this, Lu Qingjiu couldn’t help but laugh, realising that he had overreacted somewhat. He said, “That’s true.”

Yin Xun said, “And who cares if he’s a male cow or a female cow, as long as he can produce milk, he’s a good cow.”

Lu Qingjiu rolled up his sleeves. “Alright, let me milk him a little, we can have crispy deep-fried milk for afternoon tea today.”

Hearing this, Yin Xun was so happy that he broke into a wide grin, showing off the cute tiger tooth of his. He said, “You can go cook, I’ll milk him. Also, he just ate the chocolate, it’ll probably still take a while for him to produce milk.” 8DStVj

Lu Qingjiu said, “Alright, but remember to be gentle. If you use too much strength, you’ll hurt him.”

Yin Xun, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do it gently.”

Hearing Yin Xun’s words, for some inexplicable reason, Lu Qingjiu felt as if the contents of their conversation had been a little… suggestive.

Nevermind, he should just go off to cook. Before he could come up with any more strange thoughts, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly turned and left. 8u4MKB

 

The author has something to say:

Bai Yuehu looked at the dairy cow, then smiled at Lu Qingjiu.

Inexplicably, Lu Qingjiu felt a shiver run down his spine… o8Pvau

  1. If you wanted, I could make you produce milk

    Yo Bai Yuehu, what do you mean by this? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Is the magic cow going to turn humanoid and become Yin Xun’s love interest? There really is an ambiguous feeling there.

    Thank you for the chapter!

  2. [ Bai Yuehu said, “Who said producing milk was something only done by females? If you wanted, I could make you produce milk.” ]

    lmao Yuehu 😂😂

    My state right now like 50% have dirty mind about if Lu Qingjiu really can produce milk (…well, if he can, I wonder if he has to get pregnant first or no? *COUGHS*) and 50% just trying to figure out if Yuehu willing to produce milk too 😂😂

    Someone please tell Yin Xun to quickly get a gf/bf before he really falls for that bull! 😂😂

    Thank you for the update! Good luck for your final exam! ❤❤

  3. The whole thing about “milk” just made me think something I shouldn’t 🤣

    Good luck on your final 🍀

  4. I’m always end hungry with each chapter, unn~

    Thanks for the chapter! ( and good luck with the finals!)

  5. Haha Yuehu, you better not be thinking about what I’m thinking! Or I will take Lu Qingjiu and run away~

    Thank you for the chapter!

  6. Thanks for the chapter and good luck on your finals!

  7. Lu Qingjiu still hadn’t recovered from the shock of him also being able to produce milk.

    Its a different milk, actually, LQJ 😂😂😂😂😂 BYH’s milk contains his genes and will make you preggy 😂😂😂😂

  8. I could make you produce milk.

    This is soooooooo suggestive and somewhat a sexual harassment 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    However, BYH is so sweeeeeeet catering LQJ’s every likes and dislikes 😍😍😍😍😍😍

  9. How you know you’re ace:Everyone: make you make “milk”. Nudge nudge wink wink ;)My 32 year old asexual ass: Whoa, that’d be weird. Would it taste like human breast milk or like magically delicious milk? I wonder if it’s like a magic spell or special fruit you have to eat? If its a spell, can you make anything make milk? Like a statue or something? Or does it have to be something living? Can you make milk producing bacteria? You could store them like yeast packets. Like “Just add water and instantly you have milk!”. Of course, we already have instant dry milk, so that would be kinda pointless…
    • Right??? >_> The first thing I thought of was “eh? so the cow wasn’t originally milk-producing but BYH turned him into a milk cow???” then “does this count as genetic modification or does magic not work like that”

    • I’m gray ace and I was thinking along the lines “How? It’s a bull.”

      Then when BYH mentioned he could get LQJ to produce milk I was thinking “uhhhh so is it hormone base like irl or pregnancy??”

      My brain died and only went dirty when YH kept talking about the bull’s ‘thing’ like why lmao. You that lonely???

      I loved this chapter.

    • Tbh ME THO I’m Ace too and I was like oh! Will the milk come from his chest? Will it take like baby milk? Does it happen with pregnancy or magic? Lol I’m right there with you!!!!!

  10. [ “People really can’t be single for too long. If you’re single for too long, you can even find a cow pretty.” ]

    Yunxi s t a h p 😂😂

    Lu Qingjiu, “…”]

    AHAHAHAHA

  12. Milk…is this another situation like with the truck’s “flower” lol 😂. I thought YX could have had a thing with the lil boar he likes to snuggle but now this bull is a contender 🤔.

    Thanks for the chapter and good luck on finals!

  13. “Who said producing milk was something only done by females? If you wanted, I could make you produce milk.” Oho, what is he saying 😏

  14. Sooo jelly~!

    I love deep-fried milk! It surprising hard for me to find them where I live! I miss them!!

    😭

  15. Am I the only one finding this sentence “milking him” wrong in many senses? Like “MiLkiNg hIM”

    …..

    I read too much yaoi that I’m confused.

  16. Bai Yuehu said, “Who said producing milk was something only done by females? If you wanted, I could make you produce milk.”

    Okay booboo BYH that sounds really yabai to me. 😂

    Thanks for the chapter! 💕

  17. “if you wanted, i could make you produce milk.”

    so suggestive, my thoughts went straight in the gutter😹😹😹

  18. I just found out that Yin Xun and I share a single brain cell because my mind went immediately to chocolate once I read the part where the cow’s milk retains the flavor of what she ate. I need a refund from my university.

  19. “you wanted, I could make you produce milk “ Bai Yuehu my sir am I thinking what you suggesting🧐 😏 also lu qingjiu my dude better watch out. But besides the topic I like to point out that I’m really loving these side characters and creatures that they depict.

  20. Human men can also genuinely lactate, under specific circumstances, so I think Bai Luehu was being literal…?

    For this bull, clearly it just has an extra set of milk organs and the udders are NOT releasing horny milk, just normal milk. Unless later chapters refute me 😳

  21. I feel like a bull producing milk doesn’t even come close to the strangeness of everything that has been happening around MC since the beginning of the book. And yet his strong reaction was exactly to this. 🤦🏻‍♀️
