When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1256 Farm Owner 9
“Okay,” Tan You thought for a moment, “I won’t take yours for nothing. I’ll trade you two pounds of apples.”

"That's great!" Minister Huang was surprised that a swarm of bees could be exchanged for two pounds of apples. He immediately patted his chest and assured them, "I'll have Xiao Li set off right now. It's just that the weather is getting cold, and these bees might not be able to stay here with me."

"It's perfect to send it to you."

"By the way, it's winter now, shall I have Xiao Li bring you some more charcoal?"

Tan You thought about the charcoal in her hand: "That's great, you're so thoughtful."

Minister Huang laughed heartily, and after hanging up the call, he made a phone call to Li Yong: "You and Xiao Chen go to Xiao Lin's place and deliver some winter supplies to him."

Before Li Yong could speak, Chen Xiaojun, who shared a dorm room with him, jumped up and said, "Okay, Minister, we'll go right now!"

He really wanted to go to Tan You's farm; there would be plenty of food, drink, and fun, much more comfortable than staying at the base.

Li Yong pushed Chen Xiaojun's large head aside and spoke succinctly into the communicator: "Okay, I'll be there now."

He was now curious about what Minister Huang had asked him to give Tan You. Li Yong had particularly liked the orange cherries and calming apples that Tan You had given him in return. Although the team had taken the lion's share, he never left the farm empty-handed.

In the logistics department's warehouse, Minister Huang took out an insulated box containing more than a dozen bees. They were huddled together inside, shivering, as if they would die if the temperature dropped any lower.

Minister Huang: "Xiao Lin's strawberries are in bloom, and these bees are perfect for her. By the way, I allocated her 500 catties of charcoal."

"Understood, I'll deliver it." Li Yong held the insulated box, then put the charcoal into his spatial storage, and set off with Chen Xiaojun for C88 Farm.

At the farm, Tan You was preparing her cotton-threshing tools. The reason for this stemmed from the cotton she had harvested in the mountains earlier. Upon returning, Tan You had cultivated another cotton field and harvested several hundred kilograms of cotton.

All the cotton was piled up in the warehouse. Tan You had been busy with the farm and hadn't thought about making herself a quilt. But now that the weather had suddenly turned cold, and with nearly four months of snowy, cold weather ahead, Tan You decided to make four quilts.

Although there was the original owner's bedding, it had been used for many years, and the cotton had become hardened, so it wasn't warm at all.

Just as Tan You finished installing the beef tendon, her communicator rang. It was Li Yong; he had already arrived outside the farm.

Tan You smiled and granted access to the protective shield: "Brother Yong, you can come in yourselves. I'm in storage room number 3."

She was also thinking that it would be too much work for her to pick cotton by herself, so why didn't she ask for help from available laborers?

When Li Yong and Chen Xiaojun entered the storage room, they were immediately dazzled by the amount of cotton inside. Chen Xiaojun exclaimed, "Xiao Linzi, you're really rich!"

"Want it?" Tan You plucked at the ox-tendon string, looking like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

“I want it,” Chen Xiaojun nodded. “I had some cotton padding added to my clothes three years ago, and now they’re thinner after washing. And the bedding we usually use isn’t warm anymore.”

When he tried to play the victim, Tan You couldn't bring herself to harden her heart. In the end, she could only sigh and say, "Then you can help me fluff cotton? I need to make four quilts, and I'll make one for each of you while I'm at it?"

"Okay, no problem!" Chen Xiaojun didn't expect Tan You to be so easy to talk to. She gave him the cotton, such a precious dance piece, without hesitation. Indeed, befriending Tan You was the wisest decision they could have made.

"As for your clothes..." Tan You shrugged, "Will you take them back and find someone to put them on yourselves?" Li Yong was very satisfied: "Okay, you've already gone to a lot of trouble."

“It’s also because I have it,” Tan You shook her head. “If I didn’t have it, I definitely wouldn’t be as generous as I am now, and you all put in the effort too.”

She wasn't an unconditional saint who wanted to give away everything she had; she was making a deal with Li Yong and the others. After all, she genuinely couldn't possibly use all that cotton.

"By the way, ask Minister Huang if he can help me make cotton cloth from all this cotton?" Tan You thought for a moment and then contacted Minister Huang again. Minister Huang's eyes widened when he saw so much cotton in her storage room.

"Little Lin, forestry owner, do you still have cotton? I didn't see any when I went before."

Tan You shrugged: "I planted them in the yard and spurred a few saplings. I never expected they'd come in handy now."

Minister Huang: "Wait here, I'm coming right now. What do you want to change?"

"Let's exchange some fabric. I need thirty meters of cotton cloth, and the rest..." Tan You pondered for a moment, "I want to raise pigs. Is there any way to get piglets or young cattle and sheep?"

“Let me think of a way,” Minister Huang said, not immediately agreeing. “I’ll take the cotton cloth over first, and we’ll talk about the rest when we get to the farm.”

These cotton plants are just decorations in Tan You's hands, but if Minister Huang trades them away, she will get more. Even if Minister Huang makes a profit from the difference, that's how business is; you always have to give him a kickback.

So, the cotton-fluffing team gained two more people. Tan You simply stopped going to the storage room altogether, leaving the four grown men there to fluff cotton and make quilts. After all, when Minister Huang came over, he brought along a soldier from the logistics department who knew how to make quilts.

All I can say is that Minister Huang deserved to earn that money; he's truly considerate in his dealings with people and things.

Four people suddenly arrived at the farm, and Tan You wasn't a stingy person. After circling the rabbit hutch and taking out two rabbits, she went to the chicken coop to collect a few eggs, then took out some pickled vegetables she had made last month, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Minister Huang helped pull the threads of the quilt, sniffing as he said, "Xiao Linzi's cooking is also delicious. Coming here doesn't feel like working; it feels more like a vacation."

Even the usually serious Li Yong smiled and said, "Every time I come, I get to eat and drink well. This is the life a person should live."

Chen Xiaojun said with a look of enjoyment, "When I get old, I'll also run a farm..."

“Only wood-type ability users can handle this,” the cotton-fluffing warrior suddenly spoke up. “How can we manage a farm? Don’t waste such good stuff.”

Chen Xiaojun was as smug as a rooster: "It's okay, I can't do it, but my friend can. I don't ask for much, as long as he provides meals."

“This requirement is already quite high,” Minister Huang kicked Chen Xiaojun. “Although farmers have come out to reclaim wasteland and grain is easier to buy on the market, it is still scarce overall.”

"Our legion has only started cooperating with Xiaolinzi in the last few months. If it were before..."

The three of them shook their heads in unison, clearly unwilling to recall their past lives. Before, it was all grass seed cakes; now things were better. They could have porridge or cakes every few days. As for white rice, they could only get it when they came to Tan You's place.

The four men were all hardworking, and by the time lunch was ready, Tan You's four quilts were also finished. In the afternoon, after the four finished making their quilts, Tan You kept ten kilograms of cotton for herself, and the rest were all taken away by Minister Huang.
