When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1275 Farm Owner 28
Having won the battle, Tan You was in high spirits. Instead of rushing back to catch up on sleep, she decided to treat herself to a big meal. With that in mind, Tan You started kneading dough in the kitchen, while simultaneously directing Xiao Caojing to grind wheat.

When it comes to being affectionate and lazy, the little grass stalk is second to none. It throws a tantrum in front of Tan You like a little child, its meaning clear: it just wants to lie down.

Tan You tugged at the small roots on its vine: "How much of my superpower did you take? Little Leaf is too honest. You only fought for a little while and you're already asking me for superpowers. I don't have any superpowers left."

The little grass stem stiffened for a moment, then listlessly went to the mill next door two seconds later. Tan You brought over a bag of wheat: "Grind it all into flour. No slacking off, and don't go looking for Little Leaf. It needs to rest."

Little Leaf is progressing too fast and needs time to digest it, as for Little Grass Stem, it simply doesn't want to work. How can Tan You let it be so carefree? When the little guy was fighting the mutated rats, Little Leaf wanted its superpowers, and it wanted theirs too, not letting a single one go.

The key point is that Xiao Yezi was only at level three at the time, while Tan You was a level six alien plant, so its combat power was naturally stronger than Xiao Yezi's. As a result, it imitated Xiao Yezi in everything, which clearly showed that it was secretly trying to piggyback on Tan You's abilities.

Tan You had already seen this during the battle, but she still had to satisfy Xiao Caojing. If Xiao Caojing gave up, she would lose a very strong fighting force.

Now that the battle is over, Tan You will have to do some work for Xiao Caogan. At least her superpowers weren't just for nothing, right?
The small grass stems branched out into several vines, one responsible for filling the millstone with wheat, while the others propelled the millstone. The whole plant exuded an air of utter despair.

Tan You's lips curled up slightly: "Work hard and don't slack off."

The little blade of grass weakly pushed the millstone, now regretting its greed at dawn, never expecting such a clever trick. But if time could turn back, it would still do the same.

The bold get rich, the timid starve—it's just grinding grain, isn't it? It has nothing to fear!

Back in the kitchen, Tan You started making dough. As the weather gets colder, she wanted to freeze some buns and steamed bread so that it would be convenient to cook them in the future; a simple steaming would make a meal.

These days, her diet consists of only two kinds of meat: rabbit and chicken. It's not easy to even get dumplings. The lambs are still small, and the piglets weigh less than 30 pounds. Thinking about this, Tan You feels that she still needs to farm more and raise more livestock.

When Li Yong and the others arrived at the farm, Tan You's dough had just risen. She was worried about not having anyone to help her knead the dough, and labor was readily available. So Chen Xiaojun was conscripted by Tan You, and of course, Chen Xiaojun was happy to do so.

While he was kneading the dough, Tan You was frying red bean paste next to him. Xiao Caogan found her some mutated red beans. After being thoroughly purified, Tan You had accumulated a large number of pollution-free red beans.

Tan You had made some more sugar during this time, so she had plenty of brown sugar and red beans on hand. Therefore, she was particularly generous with the ingredients when making red bean paste today, steaming a whole pot of red beans.

The red bean paste became increasingly thick and sticky as it was stir-fried, until finally Chen Xiaojun took over, wielding a spatula as sharp as an iron shovel to stir-fry it. Tan You, meanwhile, sat to the side, massaging her arms. She hadn't slept all night, and was also exhausted from occasionally finishing off the mutated rats.

Chen Xiaojun glanced at Tan Youqing's dark circles: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Tan You nodded: "Yeah, I didn't sleep well. A group of mutated rats came to the farm in the early morning, and it took a lot of effort to drive them away."

Chen Xiaojun asked in surprise, "Are you alone?"

"Of course not, there are dodder and other exotic plants." Tan You said half-truthfully, touching the small leaves inside her sleeve, determined not to expose them.

She can share various mutated plants with others, but Little Leaf is her trump card, and Tan You will not easily let Little Leaf appear in front of others.

Chen Xiaojun considered the fighting power of the alien plants and didn't think much of it: "With them around, they can definitely drive away the mutated rats. Speaking of which, mutated rats are the most difficult to deal with; these guys always come out in hordes." Tan You thought of the mutated rat swarm she saw in the early morning: "You bet! I estimate there were tens of thousands of them. I just hid behind the alien plants and followed up with kills, like playing whack-a-mole."

Chen Xiaojun: "You should have called me. We would have come over with just one call."

Tan You accepted his kindness: "You are soldiers and cannot leave the legion at will. I have top-notch protective shields here, as well as so many alien plants, so your safety can be guaranteed."

Chen Xiaojun sighed, "If only you lived closer to us, we could look after you anytime."

Tan You thought her current situation was quite good; it was discreet enough, and she hadn't lost contact with the Third Legion.

“I recently heard some news,” Chen Xiaojun said, stirring red bean paste, veins bulging on his arm, “The farmer next to you is struggling and wants to sell his business.”

“C87?” Tan You raised an eyebrow slightly: “If I remember correctly, their family has two wood-type ability users. How can they not manage their business well? They have quite a few people in their family.”

"I heard it's because of unequal distribution within the family," Chen Xiaojun said in a low voice. "Everyone is afraid of being taken advantage of, and the superhumans feel that as superhumans, they should get the lion's share."

"C87 is also a hundred acres of land, are you interested?"

Tan You replied without hesitation, "Yes, but I'm all alone, and I can't cultivate that much land unless someone helps me manage it. Besides, I'll probably be focusing most of my time on cultivating exotic plants in the future."

Chen Xiaojun subtly added, "Then you can focus on cultivating exotic plants here and growing ordinary crops there. Both farms will be yours eventually. Doesn't that sound great?"

"Moreover, your farms are more than ten miles apart, and that extra space also becomes your territory."

Tan You was indeed persuaded. She pondered for a moment: "Did Lao Huang ask you to say that?"

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you,” Chen Xiaojun shrugged. “But it wasn’t Lao Huang; it was Jin Ying who asked me to pass on this message to you. Jin Ying said that you will have more and more exotic plants in your possession, and sooner or later you will have to separate them from ordinary crops.”

“In that case, why not start managing both farms together as soon as possible? If you need manpower, our legion has plenty of people.” Chen Xiaojun sighed as he spoke, “Our legion has many disabled veterans, and the legion wants to take better care of them.”

"Besides, people are worried about you living alone on the farm. If there are workers living on the farm, you'll have someone to help you."

Tan You was indeed persuaded. She did have a positive view of the military profession, especially of these wounded veterans. "I can take on C87. If it's convenient for your Jin Battalion, let's schedule a time to discuss it in detail?"

"I'll tell him when I get back!" Chen Xiaojun said with a beaming smile. Having completed the task assigned by his superior, he had no more worries.

"Sister Wei, if I retire in the future, I will come to your farm to work for you. All I need is food."
