Chapter 202 New Ideas to Make Money
"By the way, does that 'farm house' have any future development prospects?"

The one who asked this question was Long Xiaoxian, one of the buddies of the class monitor Lu Daiqing and the cultural committee member Mandy. He looked at Kagawa with expectation.

Kagawa had discovered before that this person was a bit greedy and good at amassing money - she really couldn't understand how, in this modern age with everything being intelligent, AI-driven, and sci-fi, there could still be someone at school who could earn pocket money from classmates!
If this happened in the 21st century, he would definitely be the next richest man in China or the world.

However, despite the praise, Kagawa still needs to seriously dispel his idea.

Farmhouse tourism is a very common small-scale tourist activity for people in the 21st century, but it can be said to be a kind of entertainment that is extremely difficult to reproduce for modern people.

First of all, the premise of farmhouse entertainment is to have the necessary environmental conditions: adobe houses or huts with rural characteristics, vegetables grown by the farmers themselves, poultry and livestock raised, folk customs of different regions, and outdoor activities created using the natural environment of the farmers...

In modern times, it seems that only farmland can meet the requirements.

Mud houses and huts? Modern people probably haven’t even lived in wooden houses. Can they get used to living there?

Vegetables grown by farmers themselves? They are all made from farmyard manure anyway, so wouldn't it be better to get them directly from the escort ship production site?

Folk characteristics? If the drama craze that started in the 12th Fleet had not spread to the 3rd Fleet, there would probably not even be any decent scripts or AI novels here.

Not to mention outdoor activities, which require terrain conditions. However, in order to facilitate living, the terrain of both the main ship and the escort ship is basically flat. Those with better conditions would probably build several moats through the center of the land like the main ship, or the rivers in nature reserves that look turbulent but are actually harmless, not to mention rock climbing.

Given these environmental conditions, how can we organize a farm stay? It’s very difficult.
Xiangchuan muttered silently in his heart, but on the surface he still explained these restrictions to Long Xiaoxian one by one.

The reason why she knew so much about it was because her parents actually followed the trend and started a farm stay for a while, but Guangxi Province was not well-known at that time and it didn't get off the ground. Later, there was a period of staying at home. After she returned to work, Guangxi Province seemed to have gained some popularity. At least when she occasionally searched for some hot searches on Weibo about travel on Geegle, she would occasionally see news mentioning Guangxi Province.

But at least my hometown has mountains, water and fruits. What do the current production escort ships have? In addition to fields, there are fields everywhere. The rural scenery of autumn harvest is very beautiful, but what are the characteristics of using this as a selling point for farmhouses?

After listening to Xiangchuan's explanation, Long Xiaoxian was also shocked by the true face of the farm house that Xiangchuan had just mentioned lightly.

"Are the conditions so harsh? It's amazing that the ancients could come up with something so time-consuming and laborious."

"Do you think everyone is so idle?" Kagawa rolled his eyes at him. "Another reason why farm stays became popular at that time was that many areas in the 21st century still retained the tradition of rural farming. Short-term tourism activities such as farm stays were just a way for rural residents to earn extra income. In addition, many villages that had not yet developed at that time had underdeveloped transportation due to geographical conditions, but this also meant that the areas near the villages retained their original natural scenery. This was a rare natural oxygen bar for residents who had lived in cities for a long time, but for local residents, those were just a piece of rocky land or forest that was difficult to develop."

What Kagawa didn't say was that at that time, the agricultural income of Chinese farmers was generally not high, so there was a boom in farm stays, but after the boom everyone went back to their own homes. Those who should be working 996 in concrete buildings were typing on their keyboards, and those who should be planting and fertilizing in the fields were working honestly. After that, when it was time for short vacations or small holidays, at most they would make appointments with friends to stroll around the villages around the city where they worked. Only a few people would go to a village across provinces specifically to enjoy farm stays.

"Alas... that's nothing we can do." Long Xiaoxian touched the back of his head and said in annoyance: "When I heard you talking about that farm stay just now, I thought it was a foreign tourism project suitable for our fleet, but it requires both mountains and water... As it is now, I guess the Agriculture Bureau will reject my proposal as soon as it sees it."

"That's for sure. Now the three major departments that produce escort ships are about to fight over the production increase plans of various crops and livestock submitted this year. If you flatten the precious farmland for producing escort ships to make a rockery, you will definitely be chased and beaten by your father when you go back." Mandy, the cultural and arts committee member, laughed.

Huh, the tradition of teaching children to stir-fry pork on a bamboo board has actually been passed down? Kagawa muttered to himself.

"If you just want to experience the ancient farming culture, you can build a detachable hut yourself, rent a piece of temporarily unused farmland, bring a hoe and experience the days of hard work facing the loess and back to the sky. I think it is still possible."

Xiangchuan patted Long Xiaoxian on the shoulder and comforted him, saying that this method could only satisfy modern people's curiosity about ancient farming life for a short period of time. After they worked for two days, they would probably go back to live their own lives obediently.

After all, if farming was an easy job, the designers who designed the twelve fleets 20,000 years ago would not have specially arranged six production escort ships and equipped them with the most advanced automated agricultural equipment so that modern people could focus on optimizing technology instead of letting them work in the fields and cultivate the land from scratch.

This is much easier than the real ancients who reclaimed farmland on various continents.

However, what Kagawa didn't know was that when she was hurrying to catch up with Manager Hill in order to let Ino operate the floating platform, Long Xiaoxian's eyes lit up when he heard her words, and then he fell into deep thought.

This seems... not impossible?

Long Xiaoxian seized this flash of inspiration, opened his personal terminal, and wrote a few words on the memo.
-
"Kagawa-san, look at this eggplant, it's growing so well... By the way, do you have any dishes that can make the most of eggplant?"

Kagawa: Yes, fried eggplant with salted fish, but even the farming of freshwater fish has just started, where can I find salted fish. "Here, look at this long melon, it looks so juicy, I remember in ancient records, this is called cucumber, right? It's obviously not yellow... By the way, do you have any other good recipes here?"

Kagawa: I think it would be better to just pluck one and eat it instead of using it to cook.

"Kagawa-san, look at these vegetables..."

"Kagawa-san..."

"Kagawa..."

I don't know if it was because the taste of raw tomatoes just now brought new stimulation to Manager Hill, which made her start to circle around Kagawa again. Every time she arrived at a field of a certain crop, when she chatted with Kagawa, she would talk about the new dishes of various vegetables every three sentences.

But this really stumped Kagawa. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but those were all the recipes she remembered, and she usually looked for recipes on Geegle.

Otherwise, how could she, a desk-bound office worker whose mind is filled with all kinds of report PPTs, remember so many dishes!

Even though she often helped her mother in the kitchen when she was a child, she had almost forgotten everything after so many years of hard study life and even harder working hours.

So no matter how sincere and enthusiastic Manager Hill's attitude was, she could only laugh it off and respond perfunctorily using the same corporate animal routine she used to deal with her superiors.

After this round of hard work, by noon Kagawa was so tired that he wanted to lie down.

She even had to order two servings of fried rice and three servings of meat and vegetables when she went to the cafeteria to get her meal before she could recover a little.

On the dining hall table.

Xiangchuan looked at Liang Gong with a sad and uneasy look, which frightened Liang Gong.

"President...? What's wrong?"

Liang Gong asked cautiously. He had witnessed with his own eyes in the morning that after Kagawa looked at Ino with that kind of eyes, the rumors about them showed signs of making a comeback. At that time, he could still watch the show leisurely, but if he had to accept Kagawa's sad eyes... the introverted Liang Gong couldn't stand the gossipy looks of people around him.

Fortunately, after having eaten and drunk enough to regain her spirits, Kagawa was not as puzzled as she was in the morning. She said:

"Whether it was Butler Wu yesterday or Butler Hill today, the two butlers we met in a row had the same temper. We're going to meet your mother tomorrow. Would she also...?"

As she spoke, Kagawa's expression became even more conflicted. She was not very familiar with Manager Wu and Manager Hill. Normally, she could use social distance to get some breathing time. However, the Manager of Animal Husbandry she would meet tomorrow was Liang Gong's mother. Facing the mother of her classmate, friend and direct subordinate, Kagawa really couldn't save face.

So it was about this. Liang Gong wanted to immediately refute that his mother was not like these two stewards, but considering that he had not received a reply to the message he sent this morning...

"My mother is usually a very gentle person. I often talk to her about you. She knows you quite well, so she is not as... enthusiastic as those two."

Hearing this, Kagawa looked at Liang Gong with eyes instantly filled with anticipation.

Seeing Kagawa's look, Liang Gong finally couldn't say it so confidently against his conscience. He added in a low voice:
"……probably not."

OH.

Hearing these four words, Kagawa's heart instantly died.

At this moment, she saw Manager Hill, who was sitting in the staff area not far away and eating white rice, waving at her gently. Thinking that she would have to face the siege of this beautiful manager again tomorrow morning, Kagawa closed her eyes peacefully, and her half-dead heart was now completely dead.

Tired, destroy it.
