Chapter 1285 Farm Owner 38
Each mutated animal gains a corresponding pattern for each tier it advances through; turtles are the most obvious example, with the pattern appearing on their shells. As for other animals, especially those with fur, it's quite difficult to discern their tier.

Doumi became obedient this time, nestling quietly on Tan You's lap. Only its tail remained restless, constantly teasing the turtle. The turtle shifted its body, tucking Doumi's tail under its belly.

Doumi quickly retracted its tail and then began a second round of teasing.

Tan You decided to ignore their lawsuit. A level seven mutated turtle was nice, but would such a powerful creature really follow her home? It was more realistic for her to catch more fish.

After the group took turns going back to the farm for lunch, Tan You didn't go to the riverbank again. Instead, she started working on the bread oven in the small courtyard. Just as she put two trays of bread into the oven, she felt a cool sensation at her feet.

Tan You looked down: "Senior Turtle, what are you doing here?"

Why did this turtle, which should have been staying on the shore, end up in the courtyard? It seems to have decided to cling to me? Tan You shook her head helplessly, gave it a burst of supernatural power, and then continued with her work.

It wasn't that she was arrogant; it's just that she was only level four, while the other was a level seven mutated animal, making it easy for them to manipulate her. Since that's the case, she might as well remain calm.

Tan You spent the afternoon busy in the courtyard. Boss Turtle inspected the courtyard once, then started working in a corner outside the courtyard. Tan You glanced at him but didn't pay him any mind.

Perhaps mutated animals also have their own little personalities?

"Holy crap! Sister Wei, how did you create such a huge hole?" Chen Xiaojun exclaimed first. "Sister Wei, did you dig this yourself?"

"Is that possible?" Tan You raised her voice. "It was probably done by Senior Turtle. Never mind, come in first."

Her protective shield can stop others, but it's impossible for her to stop a level seven mutated animal.

"Here it comes! It's so sweet, Sister Wei. Did you bake bread?"

Tan You: "Yes, red bean bread. I saw you didn't have enough this morning, so I made some extra this afternoon."

"Sister Wei, you're the best to me!" Chen Xiaojun was so moved he almost wanted to hug Tan You and cry his heart out: "You've done so much?"

"Take any leftovers home." Tan You wasn't stingy: "I made extra, I can't eat it all by myself. You've all worked hard today, so much fish, we'll have grilled fish for dinner tonight."

Chen Xiaojun kept sniffing: "I can smell the chili peppers, it's authentic!"

He gave a thumbs-up and said, "Sister Wei, this turtle... you're just going to keep it like this?"

"Let it stay if it wants. How can I possibly feed it? They all act like royalty." Tan You shook her head with a smile. "Pack up these breads for me first, and as for the fish..."

Tan You just wanted to catch fish, but seeing that the fish meat cost more than 10 points, she really didn't want it: "Minister Huang, do you want some fish meat?"

“Of course I want it, why wouldn’t I?” Minister Huang laughed heartily, “I’ll take as many as you have.”

“Well then, you can have all the fish,” Tan You quickly decided. “The wages for those who helped me catch fish today will be the nutritional ingredients. I just forced some sweet potatoes to grow, and there are also fresh sweet potato leaves. You can distribute them among yourselves.”

Upon hearing that it was a nutritious food ingredient, Li Yong's mood improved significantly. Nutritious food ingredients can nourish the body, which is excellent for both superhumans and ordinary people.

Moreover, in this freezing weather, it's especially rare to be able to eat a touch of fresh green.

Minister Huang packed up all the fish and meat and took it all away, while the sweet potato vines and even the leaves were snapped up by everyone. Tan You didn't favor Bobby; the new workers on the farm each received a large sweet potato and a bunch of sweet potato vines. Before dinner time, the fresh fish and meat, along with C87 grass seeds, had all been transported away by the legion's trucks. Tan You's balance, however, only increased slightly because the costs of the greenhouse and some building materials had been deducted.

For example, building materials for various farms, and various furniture provided for employees. When the C87 farm owner left, he wanted to take even the plaster off the walls with him.

Apart from a well, the entire villa was empty. And these people only brought bedding and luggage, so Tan You naturally had to consider everything.

For example, pots, pans, and bowls are all necessities.

Hu Feng and the others were all efficient people. Even though C87 didn't have much infrastructure, their lives returned to normal after two days. After Tan You delivered various ingredients to them, both sides started cooking for themselves.

She calculated it based on one pound of food ration per adult per day, so twelve people would have 360 ​​pounds of food ration per month. Tan You wasn't so heartless as to give grass seeds; instead, she gave them a mix of coarse and refined grains.

This is the staple food, not including the vegetables she grows on the farm. Currently, C87 is planted with winter wheat, and Tan You specially cleared a plot of land to plant winter vegetables. As for the current vegetables, they need to come to C88 to pick them themselves.

Putting everything else aside, the first thing Tan You will do when they arrive here is to make sure they are well-fed, even if the food isn't necessarily the best.

Just having enough to eat made everyone extremely satisfied.

Before they knew it, a month had passed, and it was time for everyone to rest. The weather was even colder now, but no amount of cold could dampen the workers' eagerness to go home.

Hu Feng and the others packed up the refined grains they had saved, made a call to Tan You, and then left the farm one after another to return home. They were well-fed and clothed on the farm, but they still had elderly parents and young children to support at home; how could they bear to eat all the grain themselves?

The farm doesn't restrict the amount of vegetables they eat, and everyone can eat their fill with soups and broths when they cook, so they save grain bit by bit.

Tan You knew about their actions, but she didn't give them any more food. For Hu Feng and his men, saving their own rations wasn't hard work, but for her to give them food directly felt like a condescending act of charity.

This is all she can give them in winter. Next year, when the farm has a harvest and they have done more work, Tan You will give them a raise as appropriate.

Hu Feng's home.

Knowing that Hu Feng was returning today, his parents, wife, and children had been eagerly awaiting his return. They all lived in the family compound near the military base, the same compound where Zhang Xiang and his family resided.

Hu Feng and his group of twelve rested in shifts; today, Hu Feng and three others returned. Each of the three carried a backpack, while Hu Feng, leaning on his cane, slowly made his way back.

He had only taken two steps when two teenagers came over and helped him up: "Dad!"

"You're back! Let me carry your bag!"

"Dad, you've worked so hard!"

Hu Feng laughed, the scars on his face twitching: "Why did you guys come out? Didn't you wear enough?"

"Yes, Grandma made rabbit fur vests for me and my brother. They're so warm," the little boy said. "Dad, do your legs hurt? Grandma is worried about you."

“It doesn’t hurt,” Hu Feng patted his youngest son’s head. “A new kang (heated brick bed) was built on the farm, and my leg pain hasn’t returned since I went there.”
