Chapter 1253 Farm Owner 6
These days, wood-type ability users are so rare. Even though they are support-type, as long as there are wood-type ability users, at least you won't starve to death, let alone have enough to eat.

Didn't you see that little girl, although she was skinny, had a good spirit?

After seeing Chen Xiaojun and Li Yong off, Tan You got back to work on the farm. But measuring the farm on foot every day was starting to feel a bit cramped. Maybe she should get a small motorcycle?

The thought had barely formed when Tan You abruptly extinguished it. A penniless wretch with only 288 yuan to his name—did he even have the right to dream of a car? He should probably think about how to run the farm properly first.

Around 7 PM, Chen Xiaojun and Li Yong arrived outside the farm. Tan You received the supplies package Li Yong had prepared, and their first transaction was completed.

Back at the farm, Tan You unpacked the large package Li Yong had brought. Inside were a large iron pot, two small wooden basins, and a large iron basin. Tan You smiled slightly, thinking to herself that Li Yong was truly meticulous.

Looking inside the supply package, there were essential kitchen supplies like oil and salt, two sets of clothes, two pairs of military boots, a roll of hemp paper, and two packs of sanitary napkins. Tan You wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she thought Li Yong was incredibly thoughtful.

Exchanging six cherries for these is a good deal. Not to mention, Li Yong also brought a lot of seeds, although they are mostly fruit and vegetable seeds, it's still better than Tan You searching everywhere at the terminal.

A month later, the farm's first crop ripened. It was the Chinese cabbage that Tan You had planted earlier. By this time, the farm had been almost completely transformed. Apart from the plot of land that Tan You had set aside to build a house, almost every inch of the farm's land had been utilized by Tan You.

Besides common fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and pumpkins, sweet potato fields are the most abundant. After all, once the sweet potato vines sprout, every vine can be used for cuttings.

She had nearly 5 acres of cabbages, which she couldn't harvest by herself; she needed to hire help.

Thinking that it was Wednesday, Tan You had an idea and dialed Chen Xiaojun's number: "Brother Xiaojun, are you busy right now?"

Chen Xiaojun had just finished his daily training. Hearing Tan You's call, he jumped up and said, "No rush. I just finished training. I can rest today."

"Would it be convenient for you to come to the farm and help me harvest the vegetables?" Tan You asked directly. "I have 5 acres of cabbages that are ripe, and I can't manage them all by myself. If it's convenient for you, Yong-ge, could you ask him to come along?"

"Convenient, definitely convenient!" Chen Xiaojun agreed on behalf of Li Yong: "We'll be there in an hour. So, are you going to transport all those cabbages to the base to sell?"

Tan You also asked directly: "Is your third team accepting them? I've tested it; the pollution index is generally between 7 and 8, with some areas exceeding 10."

"Wait here, I'll go get Brother Yong." Chen Xiaojun took off running, shouting, "Little Lin, you're really something!"

Tan You smiled faintly. Turning her manor into the legion's vegetable garden wasn't so bad. But if the other party wanted to take all of her vegetable garden, she wouldn't be happy about it.

Li Yong and Minister Huang arrived very quickly. Hearing that there was a bumper harvest of Chinese cabbage in Tanyou and the pollution index was in the single digits, Minister Huang was not about to let it pass. He immediately came over with Li Yong and Chen Xiaojun, along with six soldiers.

Nine people crammed into the pickup truck, their eyes filled with anticipation. As the first group to clear land for the base, they had never been to a farmer's territory before, and this was an opportunity to broaden their horizons.

Tan You was already waiting outside the energy shield. This month, she had traded ten more orange cherries with Li Yong in exchange for a mid-level energy stone, which would sustain the shield for six months.

A smile flickered in Tan You's eyes when she saw the chubby Minister Huang getting out of the pickup truck. After exchanging greetings, Tan You led everyone into the farm: "Right now, the Chinese cabbage is ripe, and there are also some bok choy."

"I've planted the seeds Yong-ge gave me last time, and they're expected to be ready for harvest next month." Tan You led everyone through the planting field. Even though they had passed the cherry tree, they hadn't noticed anything. The small leaves twining around the cherry tree drifted away, their contribution hidden from view.

Li Yong glanced at the only vacant plot of land on the farm: "Is that where you plan to build your house?"

"Yes, we're short of money, aren't we? We're just waiting to sell these vegetables to make up for it." Tan You said, half-jokingly, "Minister Huang, you can get tested."

Without Tan You even needing to say anything, these people spontaneously raised their terminals and began testing. After inspecting several acres of land, only about 10% of the cabbages had a contamination index of 10, while the rest were around 7 or 8.

Minister Huang narrowed his eyes: "Master Lin, don't worry, we will definitely give you a fair price. The market price for Chinese cabbage is basically 2 general points per kilogram, but your pollution index is very low, so I can give you 4 general points per kilogram."

"We handle the harvesting and transportation. You don't need to worry about it."

“Okay,” Tan You readily agreed, “I’ll leave that small piece; I plan to use it for seed.”

“No problem,” Minister Huang said, feeling very lucky to have met such an excellent planter and even made a deal with him.

The two then signed a contract on the spot, and the accompanying soldiers began harvesting. The wind-elemental ability user manipulated wind blades, and with a single wind blade, the cabbages fell to the ground with a whoosh, the cuts smooth and neat, much faster than Tan You's.

Tan You eventually stopped and only talked to Minister Huang by the field.

"You've all been busy today, so have lunch here. I caught a few rabbits yesterday." Tan You wasn't stingy; she knew she had to make sure people who did the work were well-fed, and she could afford to treat them to a meal.

Minister Huang also wanted to build a closer relationship with Tan You, and the two hit it off immediately. While everyone else was busy harvesting, the two of them busied themselves with preparing lunch by the river.

"Your rice and wheat should be ripe in another month or so, right?"

Tan You nodded: "Indeed, it's a pity that the base didn't provide many staple food seeds at the time. After these are harvested, I need to expand the planting area of ​​wheat and rice, at least half of them."

Minister Huang squinted: "Very good, Forest Farm Owner, our cooperation has been very pleasant. Be sure to come to me next time there is a bumper harvest."

"Definitely," Tan You replied. She was too lazy to contact anyone else. The other party's price was fair, and she could sell the items without leaving home, so why bother?

For a moment, the two of them were laughing very happily. Minister Huang even had the leisure to catch a few fish in the river. Although they were all mutated fish and could not be eaten, it did not spoil Minister Huang's good mood at all.

For lunch, Tan You didn't skimp on anything: stir-fried cabbage, stewed rabbit with radish, cold sweet potato leaf salad, and a vegetable and egg soup.

The cabbages, radishes, and sweet potato leaves are all grown on the farm. The rabbits were hunted by Xiao Yezi from the mountains, and the eggs were laid by Tan You, who caught wild chickens from the mountains, clipped their wings, and domesticated them.

This meal was extremely lavish, except that the main dish was flatbread.
