When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1266 Farm Owner 19
Regardless of how much the cherry tree surprised the two of them, after picking all the apples, Tan You picked six orange cherries when she passed by the apple tree again; they were definitely the smaller, less appealing variety.

"Thank you for bringing the piglets. This is a token of our appreciation." Tan You presented the orange cherries to the two of them. It wasn't that she was stingy and could only afford to give each of them two cherries; it was simply that high-level mutated ingredients were indeed extremely rare.

Moreover, unique mutated ingredients like orange cherries are rare and hard to come by, unlike common cabbage which can be found everywhere.
Jin Xi looked down at the six orange cherries in front of him, chuckled twice, and then accepted them: "Thank you, Master Lin."

"You're welcome," Tan You roughly guessed Jin Xi's identity, but she wouldn't point it out unless he told her. So Tan You smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to make lunch. Minister Huang, could you help me kill a few rabbits?"

“No problem, I haven’t eaten meat in a long time either.” Minister Huang followed Tan You and said, “Forest owner, have you thought about planting a few more cherry trees? They’re all pollution-free, so wouldn’t they be completely pollution-free?”

“I’m not sure,” Tan You also thought of this: “But the farm does have a few small cherry trees planted over there. But they are just seedlings right now, and there are no signs of mutation.”

The seeds of mutant plants have a chance of growing into mutant plants, but mutation is a process, and some mutations are positive mutations while others are negative mutations.

Although Tan You has covered them with a supernatural barrier, it is not visible at the moment.

Minister Huang said with some regret, "It would be best if the pollution index could be completely eliminated."

Tan You shrugged: "I was thinking the same thing. Isn't the base also doing research? Haven't they come up with any results yet? For example, the ability envelopment. I don't believe no one has tried it before."

Tan You didn't believe that no one had ever successfully experimented with this before; she guessed the news had been kept from her.

Minister Huang didn't say much. He was just a logistics officer. Although he had some connections, how could a logistics minister like him get involved in such confidential matters?

The two then went to the rabbit hutch and squatted outside, watching the rabbits eat fresh lettuce. Minister Huang remarked, "They eat much better than we do."

"But they're our food today," Tan You said calmly. "One rabbit for three people should be enough, right?"

“That’s enough,” Minister Huang said, grabbing the rabbit with his hand. “I think it’s too much. In the army, we only eat meat once a week. It’s only this year that we met you. In previous years, we all ate grass seed cakes.”

Tan You pretended not to hear Minister Huang's sob story. She knew she had a soft spot for soldiers and guessed that this old fox had already seen through her, otherwise why would he mention it to her again and again?
“I have quite a few rabbit skins, do you want them?” Tan You simply changed the subject: “I can’t use all of these by myself.”

"Sure, making a few hats would be fine." Minister Huang would never turn down something so valuable. In his eyes, nothing was useless. If something was, it was simply because others didn't know how to use it.

Tan You guessed that Minister Huang would say that, and immediately smiled: "Okay, I'll get it for you in a bit."

The two chatted and laughed as they worked. When they returned, Chen Xiaojun was already kneading dough in the kitchen, and the pumpkin had been steamed.

"Xiao Linzi, we've built your pigsty. It'll be sheltered from the wind and rain."

Tan You: "I trust you to do things. I just asked the provincial government to save some sweet potato leaves, take these..."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "How did you know I wanted to eat sweet potato leaves?"

Tan You's words caught in her throat. After a long while, she shook her head with a smile. Forget it, she wouldn't pressure them to have a baby under their noses; they'd easily break their guard. Ten minutes later, Tan You came out carrying a bundle of sweet potato vines. She naturally used the rest to feed the piglets. Li Yong and Zhang Xiang squatted on the ground picking sweet potato leaves; in this cold weather, they just wanted some fresh, green food.

Before lunch, everyone had finished picking today's strawberries and even helped Tan You remove all the runners. Of course, some people were greedy and sneaked some along the way, but Tan You pretended not to see them.

Minister Huang looked at the baskets of strawberries and was already planning how to distribute them when he got back. He didn't need to be so extravagant as to supply the entire legion; he could simply trade with other legions.

"Should this payment be settled using Universal Points?" Minister Huang felt a pang of regret. People in logistics often have this problem: money only comes in, never goes out; the drawstring of their money bag is tighter than their belt.

Tan You thought for a moment and said, "No, do you have any mutated plants? We don't have to be particular about the species, anything below level four is fine."

Minister Huang thought to himself that all mutated plants grow in the wild. Apart from the mutated plants contracted by wood-type ability users, he had never seen mutated plants growing in areas where people lived.

Just as he was about to speak, Jin Xi said, "I know a level three mutated chestnut tree. I can take you there if you need it."

"Yes, of course we need it." Tan You's eyes lit up. Chestnut trees! Those are valuable things. And it really requires a wood-type ability user. How could an ordinary person so easily take away a mutated plant unharmed?

Jin Xi smiled: "Then let's set a time?"

Tan You glanced at him: "You're not fully recovered, so it's inconvenient for you to take me out, isn't it?"

She practically said she'd switch to someone else.

Jin Xi covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "There must be others accompanying you, but can your farm support you when you leave?"

Tan You didn't hesitate: "Do I need to leave for a few days?"

Jin Xi: "It can take anywhere from ten days to a week."

Tan You gave up without hesitation: "Then I won't go. Can you get some for me? Apples or oranges and cherries, you can choose."

Jin Xi waved his hand: "I don't want those. I want to see how you purify that chestnut tree."

Tan You didn't think it was a big deal. As long as she didn't have to pay, she was fine with anything: "Okay, but I need a living chestnut tree. If it dies, I can't purify it."

The three of them settled their payment for the supplies, and it was time to eat. No one was surprised that Tan You avoided the pumpkin buns after sitting down at the table; after all, she was a farmer, why would she need a few extra bites?
Chen Xiaojun first served Tan You a bowl of braised rabbit with green beans, then looked down and saw that a large bowl of rabbit meat was completely empty. Chen Xiaojun glared, and Tan You chuckled and gave him half of the rabbit meat. Li Yong also gave Chen Xiaojun half of his.

Chen Xiaojun was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Girls are so considerate. You bunch of animals, I even cooked lunch for you, and you didn't even leave me any."

Tan You handed him two eggs: "If there's no rabbit meat, have two eggs. I cooked them this morning. You worked hard today."

She likes lively personalities; everyone has their own preferences, and Tan You and Chen Xiaojun really do get along best. Seeing someone lively and outgoing makes her feel better too.
