Chapter 1277 Farm Owner 30
“Okay,” Chen Xiaojun agreed, then glanced at his colleagues who were listening intently and began to complain: “Sister Wei, I only ate four of the buns you gave me yesterday, and they snatched the rest.”

Zhang Xiang acted quickly, pressing the call button on Chen Xiaojun's communicator: "Kid, you're getting good at complaining now."

Chen Xiaojun let him rub him, and he was especially well-behaved at this moment. Where was the arrogance he had shown when he complained earlier?

Tan You shook her head, opened the protective shield, thought for a moment, and took out a few pounds of red beans, brown sugar, and glutinous rice flour to make a red bean glutinous rice ball.

When Jin Xi, Minister Huang, Yan Liang, and Mu Nan arrived at the courtyard, they saw Tan You washing red beans. Jin Xi greeted them first: "Good morning, Forest Farm Master."

Tan You was a little surprised, but she didn't stop rinsing the red beans: "Good morning, have you had breakfast? If not, can I have some more?"

“Then it would be impolite of me to refuse,” Jin Xi said pleasantly. “I can also help roll out the dough. What are you doing with the red beans, Master Lin?”

Tan You: "I'm going to make red bean dumplings. Didn't Chen Xiaojun say he didn't get enough steamed buns yesterday?"

Minister Huang said with a smile, "Then I'll come and help too!"

After entering the courtyard, Mu Nan stared at the exotic plants around Tan You's place. There were all kinds of plants of different grades. Especially the pepper tree that had made them come all this way for nothing, it stood there at the gate of the courtyard like a guardian deity.

"Forest owner, you are so wealthy." Mu Nan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "You are truly incredibly extravagant."

"Currently, it appears that the pollution levels of all exotic plants at or below level four have dropped to 0."

Tan You shrugged: "It's probably an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since it can purify, of course I can't just stand by and watch."

Mu Nan nodded in agreement: "That's true. It's a bit of a pity that the lychee trees that grow from those lychee seeds are all ordinary lychee trees. Although they are still very precious, I still feel a little regretful."

Tan You glanced at the few cherry saplings on the edge of the protective shield in the small courtyard: "When I planted cherry trees before, I also induced a batch to grow, but they were all ordinary cherry trees."

Mu Nan looked up, waiting for Tan You to continue.

"Later, I did an experiment. I forced half of the cherry seeds to germinate, while the other half were covered with a supernatural barrier and left to grow naturally." Tan You said, pointing to the edge of the small courtyard: "I planted a total of 60 seeds, but only 12 of them sprouted. Currently, they are first-level mutated cherry seedlings and cannot be called trees yet."

Mu Nan frowned: "So we're just going to let them grow on their own? I'll go back and do an experiment, which involves planting trees for a long time."

Tan You had no choice: "This is an inevitable path. Let's experiment slowly. I plan to use as little supernatural power as possible when cultivating alien plants in the future. I'll just make sure they aren't contaminated, and let them grow freely."

While superpowers can accelerate growth, they also extinguish the possibility of plant mutations in the process. Looking back now, it's hard to say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Mu Nan fell into deep thought: "It's a good idea. It's even made me think about starting a farm."

Minister Huang asked calmly, "Are you willing to give up the plantations within our legion?"

Mu Nan sighed, "I really can't bear to part with it."

Tan You watched them talking back and forth, her gaze falling on Jin Xi: "Xiao Jun told me about C87 yesterday. Is it confirmed that they want to sell it?"

Yesterday she was so tired that she didn't even check the forum for news. Jin Xi pulled up the information on the farm next door: "The two superhumans have demolished the farm and are preparing to transfer C87 to someone else so they can start their own small farm."

"Currently, C87 mainly grows winter wheat and grass seeds, and the transfer fee..."

He mentioned a number that seemed astronomical to others, but not to Tan You. Tan You frowned slightly: "If I take on C87, it will still be under the current cooperation model."

"What I plant and how I plant it are my own business. The farm's produce can be sold to the Legion, but I am not working for the Legion."

Jin Xi sighed inwardly, thinking that Tan You was really too free, but if it were him, he would be the same.

"Sure, our cooperation has always been very pleasant. Your expansion of the planting area is also a great thing for us."

Both sides were decisive, and after reaching a verbal agreement, the subsequent matters concerning C87 Farm were handed over to the Third Legion. As for Tan You, she would absolutely not go to the base rashly.

The matter was settled, and Tan You's red beans had bloomed. Jin Xi volunteered to roll out the dough, Yan Liang went to the tap to wash the bok choy, Mu Nan was making small glutinous rice balls, and Minister Huang was frying eggs. Only Tan You was assigned the task of tending the fire.

Around 8:30, Chen Xiaojun burst into the courtyard, making a ruckus. He had been planning to roll out dough, but when he saw his boss doing the same thing, and all the leaders were busy with their own tasks, Chen Xiaojun had only one thought: What did he do to deserve having his superiors cook for him?

Tan You rescued Chen Xiaojun: "A lot of chicks have hatched this year. Do you know where there are ducklings and goslings?"

Chen Xiaojun racked his brains: "I remember when I went out on a mission before, I passed through a reed marshland. There should be duck eggs and goose eggs there. I'm on leave this afternoon. Should I go check it out with Yong-ge?"

Tan You was also very polite: "Okay, whether you find it or not, come over for dinner tonight."

Chen Xiaojun no longer asks what they eat for dinner, since there's always something delicious to eat.

Mu Nan finished making the small glutinous rice balls, and Tan You lifted the lid to start cooking the red bean glutinous rice balls. Chen Xiaojun leaned on the stove: "Wow, red bean paste! Sister Wei, you're so kind!"

Tan You shook her head, looking at Chen Xiaojun as if she were looking at a junior.

"There's brown sugar on the table. Add some if you like it sweet."

“I understand,” Chen Xiaojun took the glutinous rice balls that Tan You had cooked, then scooped a spoonful of red bean paste from the pot next to him, added two spoonfuls of brown sugar, and then squatted down next to Mu Nan to start slurping them up.

Tan You served the second night to Mu Nan, since it was the small glutinous rice balls that the other party had made by hand.

By the time the main group arrived, the six people in the kitchen had each eaten a bowl of red bean dumplings. At that time, Tan You was cooking noodles, and on the stove next to her was the chicken soup she had made the day before.

When Tan You was making soup, she deliberately skimmed off the oil on top, but the soldiers were all scrambling for it. For them, oil was the most important thing.

A big pot of chicken soup was devoured by everyone in the morning.

Zhang Xiang patted his stomach: "This is life! I never thought I'd be able to have chicken noodle soup, fried eggs, and red bean dumplings for breakfast. My life is complete."

Tan You felt a pang of sadness. In a peaceful world, this would be nothing more than an ordinary breakfast, but here, it was an unparalleled delicacy. Different worlds, different environments, and vastly different levels of happiness among people.
