When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1255 Farm Owner 8
The newly planted cherry tree is still just a sapling; she clearly hasn't achieved fruit freedom yet. Once she has an apple tree, will she be able to achieve apple freedom?

When Minister Huang arrived at the farm the next day, he was taken aback: "You still have apple trees here? The pollution index of these apple trees is only 18? Are you selling the apples?"

Tan You knows that people nowadays have a common problem: they want to test everything they encounter. She didn't feel offended and just smiled and said, "18 is still too high. I plan to purify it to below 10 before consuming it."

Minister Huang: "The price will be different, and the taste will be very different too. Will you sell it or not?"

Tan You looked up at the apple tree and said, "This tree can only produce 300 jin of fruit at most. It's not enough for me to eat all of it. I'm not selling it."

It took a lot of effort to bring this tree down yesterday, only to have it benefit someone else? Tan You is not happy about that.

Minister Huang: "Well, how about I trade you something? I have a pound of strawberry seeds, can I trade you for two apples?"

"My apples are level five mutated apples, which have the effect of refreshing the mind," Tan You said casually. "Whether your strawberries will mutate after you plant them is still uncertain."

Mutation isn't entirely bad; natural plants can also mutate, but the resulting mutations are more stable, albeit with an extremely low probability. The appearance of even one mutated plant in an acre of land is already considered a very high probability.

Minister Huang said with a pained expression, "Add two more orange tree saplings."

"Deal," Tan You thought the deal was worthwhile. Although they were all ordinary plants, ordinary plants could mutate with proper care. Besides, ordinary plants were pretty good too.

"I'll bring them to you tomorrow." Minister Huang had felt the pinch then, but now he understood. He circled the apple tree once: "I want the two reddest ones on the branch."

“Sure,” Tan You readily agreed, “I’ll pick some for you tomorrow morning.”

The two left the apple trees and strolled around the farm. When they passed a certain spot, Minister Huang stopped and asked, "Why were these trees transplanted separately? Have they mutated?"

He was referring to a small garden near the house, where a cucumber plant, a tomato plant, a pumpkin plant, and an eggplant plant were neatly planted.

"It has indeed mutated." Tan You didn't hide anything: "There's only one, and it's currently only a level one mutated plant."

“Level one is already very good,” Minister Huang clapped his hands. “Could we try these mutated fruits and vegetables?”

“No, I plan to save the offspring,” Tan You refused outright. “Once we have a larger population, I won’t be as stingy as I am now.”

Minister Huang wasn't embarrassed: "Alright, do you mean you'll end up planting this place full of mutated plants?"

Tan You also thought about it: "I hope so too, that I can lie at home and count money until my hands cramp up."

With the fruits and vegetables sold out, Tan You's savings increased somewhat. However, after ordering a strawberry greenhouse, her savings immediately dwindled again. It's true what they say: the farm makes money, the farm spends it, and she doesn't even think about taking anything home.

Tan You is optimistic. She said that after ordering the greenhouses this time, the farm won't have any other major expenses. From now on, it should be... pure income, right?

“After harvesting the rice and wheat, winter is approaching,” Minister Huang said, standing beside the rice paddy with a somewhat unfocused look in his eyes. “What are you planning to plant for winter? The sweet potato leaves should be harvested now, and the farm has nothing left to produce.”

He was even more dedicated than Tan You, the farmer, and wished he could plan for Tan You's future for ten or eight years.

Tan You was also considering: "Let's plant some vegetables when winter comes." Minister Huang spat out the grass root in his mouth: "I thought you would continue to buy greenhouses."

“There’s no rush to build the greenhouse,” Tan You said, not in a hurry to make money. “I need to reinforce the protective shield. My place is the closest to the foot of the mountain. The animals will be very hungry in winter, and if they come down the mountain, they will definitely come straight here.”

"I need a military-grade protective shield, and I need to expedite the procurement of energy stones for this batch of goods as well."

“No problem,” Minister Huang smiled like a fat fox. “I’ll send them over tomorrow. You really aren’t selling these apples?”

Ever since eating this apple, Minister Huang has been so engrossed in it that he has lost his appetite. This apple has an energizing effect; every small bite significantly boosts his work efficiency.

Even if he saves every penny, how long can two apples last?
Tan You hesitated for a moment: "I can only give you 10 apples, how about oranges and cherries?"

"Yes, I want it all!" Minister Huang's small eyes widened: "Do you still have those orange cherries?"

“Yes,” Tan You smiled, “there are only 60.”

There must be far more cherry trees than that, but Tan You hid the cherry trees very well, because she couldn't bear to let others covet them.

“That’s great,” Minister Huang said, ignoring everything else. “With these, the teams will be more confident when they go out on missions and will be able to collect more supplies.”

The orange cherries and apples were traded away, and Tan You's protective shield was upgraded to a military-grade protective shield. The energy stones were also replaced with high-grade energy stones. Even if there was a beast tide, Tan You was not afraid at all.

Today, the entire farm is almost like an impregnable fortress, with a military-grade protective shield covering the entire area. Outside the hut is a standard rain cover, which, under Tan You's adjustment, covers a 50-meter radius around the hut, ensuring that the situation inside remains hidden.

As for the intruders underground... Tan You glanced at the little leaf rooted next to the cherry tree. With the little leaf there, it could handle any mutated beast except for those above level four.

The protective shield had been installed for less than a week when the weather suddenly turned cold. Tan You had been wearing short sleeves before, but now it's snowing outside.

Such extreme weather changes have become the norm after the great catastrophe. Tan You also dug out her newly made cotton-padded clothes and went out to shovel snow with a shovel.

After the harvest, Tan You planted only ten mu of winter wheat and five mu of strawberries, and the rest of the land was planted with wild grasses that could fertilize the soil. They grow in the cold winter and wither in the spring when the flowers bloom, at which time they all turn into nutrients to nourish the earth.

Tan You has really learned something new; she never expected there to be such plants here.

After clearing the snow outside the energy shield and making a path, Tan You, carrying a shovel, inspected the farm. Sensing that the wheat was growing well when she reached the wheat field, Tan You felt slightly relieved.

Then we went to see the strawberry greenhouses. The arrival of winter hadn't affected the growth of the strawberries inside; some had already started to bloom. Stepping into the greenhouses felt like entering springtime, almost like entering a completely different world from the outside.

“It’s time to pollinate,” Tan You said to herself, looking at the flowering strawberries. “It would be even better if we could raise bees. I’ll have to ask Minister Huang later if he has any bees.”

"Minister Huang, do you have any bees?" Tan You was the type to ask for anything she thought of, and after finishing up the strawberry greenhouse, she contacted Minister Huang.

Minister Huang actually did: "How did you know I had bees? I just got them yesterday, all-natural, non-mutated bees. If you want them, I'll have Xiao Li deliver them to you?"
