Chapter 1262 Farm Owner 15
"Okay, I'll wait for your message." Tan You replied. After ending the call, Tan You inexplicably opened the group chat. This group belonged to Zhang Xiangjian, who had come to help her make sweet potato flour that day.

Forest owner: [Does anyone have sugarcane or beet seeds?]

Tan You usually stays silent, but this time, when she sent a message for the first time, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and dozens of messages appeared in the group chat in an instant.

Li Yong: [No.]

Chen Xiaojun: [No.]

Another series of "no" messages followed, but Tan You wasn't disappointed; she had only intended to give it a try. Just then, a picture appeared in the group chat.

Zhang Xiang: [This is sugarcane; my mom plants some every year.]

The photo shows a bundle of purple sugarcane. These sugarcane are short and thin, but regardless, they are sugarcane.

Tan You's eyes lit up: [It really is sugarcane! I'll ask my aunt if she could spare one for me?]

As long as there are sugarcane roots, she has a way to grow a large area of ​​sugarcane.

Zhang Xiang turned his head and called out, "Mom, save a few of your sugarcane stalks for me, I want to give them away."

Mrs. Zhang was displeased: "What a fortune! You're just giving it away like that? I can sell it at the market and get several kilograms of grain for it."

"Is the sweet potato residue tasty?" Zhang Xiang countered. "Is the cotton quilt warm?"

“If you had just said it was the forestry owner, would I have been so stingy?” Zhang’s mother immediately smiled, all traces of her previous stern expression gone. She went over and picked at the sugarcane: “These few are the best; you should take them to the forestry owner right away.”

Zhang Xiang joked, "So generous?"

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for them?" Zhang's mother glared at her son. "You make it sound like I'm a terrible person. They gave you so many sweet potato scraps, which will make getting through the winter much easier."

"And this cotton is so warm."

Zhang Xiang smiled and picked up the ten sugarcanes: "Okay, I'll take them to the forestry owner while I'm on vacation today."

"Hurry up and go," Zhang's mother said in a manner that resembled shooing away flies. She never expected that she, an ordinary person, would have her sugarcane taken a liking to by the farmer.

Zhang Xiang went to find Tan You, leaving only Zhang's parents and Xiao Mei at home. Xiao Mei pouted, looking aggrieved: "You promised the sugarcane was for me to grow..."

She was only six years old, still a child. To make her happy, Zhang's mother would plant a few sugarcane stalks every year. Ordinary people could grow them, but they couldn't compare to those with superpowers.

Most people prioritize growing crops on any available land; families like the Zhangs', who grow sugarcane for their children, are a minority. Zhang Xiaomei values ​​this sugarcane highly; what good food can people in the wasteland possibly get?

Mr. Zhang pulled his daughter aside, wiped her face, and reasoned with her: "Next year I'll plant a few more sugarcane stalks for you."

Zhang Xiaomei sobbed and didn't speak. Zhang's mother patted her daughter's little hand: "Where did you get your new cotton-padded coat this year? In previous years, everyone was starving at this time, but this year we have so many sweet potato scraps at home. You haven't been hungry these days, have you? These are all gifts from others."

Zhang Xiaomei fell silent. Zhang's mother said, "They are kind people; they wouldn't take our things for nothing."

She chuckled as she spoke, "She's a superhuman. If she grows sugarcane on her farm, she'll definitely grow it better than I can. If you ever want some sugarcane in the future, you can ask your brother to help you buy some. Do you really need a few more stalks?"

Zhang Xiaomei wiped her eyes: "I'm not crying anymore."

Mrs. Zhang felt bad for her daughter, but she was touched by her daughter's understanding: "I know you feel wronged. This damned world leaves no way out for people." Mr. Zhang handed his youngest daughter a sweet potato pancake: "Eat a pancake, and you won't feel so bad anymore."

Zhang Xiaomei shook her head: "I don't want to eat it, Dad, you eat it."

Mr. Zhang stroked his daughter's soft blond hair and agreed with his wife. This damned world is deliberately making life difficult for everyone.

Zhang Xiang was intercepted by Li Yong and Chen Xiaojun before he even reached the farm. Zhang Xiang grinned roguishly and said, "I knew you guys would come."

Chen Xiaojun replied casually, "That's right, we also guessed that you would set off now."

The three rode their motorcycles, seemingly oblivious to the cold. They sped all the way to the farm, where Tan You was already waiting. Upon seeing them, Tan You waved and said, "You're here? Come on in."

She opened the protective shield, and the three of them entered the farm. Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath: "That feels great!"

When it comes to places with low pollution levels, those areas are definitely those inhabited by wood-type ability users, such as farms. Chen Xiaojun had, of course, visited other people's farms, but comparisons were impossible; a comparison would reveal the differences.

Zhang Xiang, carrying sugarcane, asked, "Where should we plant it?"

Tan You shook her head: "No rush, let me first promote the growth of some seedlings and optimize them."

As she spoke, she picked up a sugarcane and went into the strawberry patch, and the three of them followed without any hesitation. Tan You said, "Some of the strawberries are already ripe, so feel free to eat as many as you like. I grew quite a lot."

Men generally prefer sweets, and Chen Xiaojun was the most excited: "Really? We can eat as much as we want?"

Tan You waved her hand: "Five acres of strawberries here have already entered the fruiting stage, and the remaining five acres have also blossomed. I can still treat you to strawberries, but although they are natural ingredients, they are still just ordinary ingredients."

"It's already very good," Chen Xiaojun said, quickly picking a bright red strawberry, wiping it on his sleeve, and taking a bite. "So sweet!"

At this moment, Li Yong's terminal also displayed the test results: [Beep, ordinary strawberry, contamination index 6, edible.]

The terminal detection sound and Chen Xiaojun's voice sounded almost simultaneously. Tan You's lips curled up slightly: "Eat as much as you want. If it's really not enough, I'll encourage another batch."

"That's enough, there are so many strawberries." Li Yong quickly refused, "How can we possibly eat all these strawberries?"

Tan You gestured for them to look at the small baskets at the entrance of the greenhouse: "I'll give each of you five jin, that's all. The food you eat here won't be included."

"The boss is so generous!" Chen Xiaojun didn't care about picking strawberries right now; he wanted to eat his fill first. Zhang Xiang and Li Yong felt the same way; eating strawberries was a bonus, and they'd worry about picking them later.

Tan You squatted in a corner of the greenhouse. She cut the sugarcane that Zhang Xiang had brought into small pieces and spread them flat on the ground. Then she used her supernatural ability, and everyone saw the sugarcane sprout and grow taller inch by inch.

The sugarcane that was initially planted was quite thin and the nodes were short. However, after Tan You induced growth several times, the sugarcane that grew was exactly the same as the sugarcane Tan You had seen before.

Of course, there were already thousands of kilograms of sugarcane piled up in the greenhouse at this time.

Chen Xiaojun squatted down next to Tan You, holding a basket of strawberries, eager to break off a piece of sugarcane to try. Tan You was very generous: "Eat as much as you want, just help me plant these sugarcanes later."

"Alright, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Chen Xiaojun cheered. "So much sugarcane, what are you going to do with it?"

Thank you so much for your votes and monthly passes, everyone!
