When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1294 Farm Owner 47
Hu Feng, on the other hand, came over the next morning to apologize to Tan You: "It's their duty to work for the farm, how can they accept your reward? I already talked to them about it yesterday."

“That’s the reward they deserve,” Tan You waved to the girl who had shown off her muscles to her yesterday and handed her a red bean bun. “They put in the effort and exceeded their expectations, so they should be rewarded.”

"They've had it tough too; almost all of them have blood on their hands. It's just a few rabbits; don't hurt the children's feelings."

Hu Feng also felt sorry for the children, and his eyes reddened: "I'm just worried that you're too good to them, and that they'll think everyone in the world is as good as you."

"What are you saying, Brother Hu? Do you mean I have to treat them badly?" Tan You chuckled, stroking the girl's buzz cut. "I welcome you to work hard and earn lots of rewards, after all, I have indeed benefited."

After the fresh goji berries are picked, they need to be dried in the sun and shade before they can be stored for several months. The children took care of all these tasks, and soon the threshing ground outside Tan You's courtyard was covered with large mats.

Since the start of goji berry harvesting, the farm has entered its busy season. First came the rice seedling cultivation and planting, followed by the shrubs around the farm entering their fruit-bearing period.

Everyone on the farm, except Tan You, was very busy. This busyness made Hu Feng and the others feel more at ease, because only when they were busy did they feel like they weren't just sitting around doing nothing.

"Master of the farm," Tan You received a "tribute" from the children as soon as she got up that morning—a large river clam.

Tan You looked at the river clam, which was as big as a millstone, and then at the group of children in front of her, whose average age was ten: "Did you go to the river by yourselves?"

Hu Hai, with a strong will to survive, said: "No, my dad and two other uncles took us there."

"And Doumi too, Doumi went too."

Tan You was relieved: "Children shouldn't go to the river by themselves."

Hu Hai smiled and said, "We know that. We don't usually go to the river ourselves."

Tan You was relieved: "You caught it?"

“It was caught by thorn vines,” Hu Tao interjected. “It also caught a lot of snails. My dad tested it, and the pollution index was 14. My dad said he’ll make spicy snails tonight.”

Tan You chuckled: "That's great. I'll go take a look. How big are the snails?"

In Tan You's memory, snails were only the size of a coin. She had never seen snails since coming to this world, and subconsciously assumed that snails in the wasteland world were also only the size of a coin.

The short-haired girl, Tiechui, pulled a snail bigger than an adult's palm from her pocket: "Boss, it's so big!"

Tan You was almost dazzled by the enormous snail. She chuckled, realizing she was indeed quite naive. These snails from the wasteland world were no ordinary snails.

“There are lots of snails in the river,” Hu Hai, who was leading the way, told Tan You about today’s harvest: “My dad said it’s because the mutated big fish here have all been cleared out, and there are calamus and lotus flowers by the river, so these snails can grow so big.”

Tan You handed the snails to Tie Chui, then stroked Tie Chui's buzz cut: "Shall we have lunch here? We'll have braised river clams with pork belly for lunch."

Hu Hai was a little embarrassed: "My dad told us to go back for dinner."

Tan You: "I can't eat this much by myself. I'll talk to your dad."

The children were delighted and followed Tan You into the courtyard to get busy. The youngest, Hu Tao, squatted next to the giant tortoise, occasionally poking its shell, showing no fear whatsoever.

Or rather, it wasn't that he didn't know fear; he simply knew that the mutated animals here wouldn't harm them, which is why he dared to act recklessly.

Hu Hai couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over and grabbed his younger brother by the back of his shirt: "Go to the field and pick some cucumbers and eggplants. You can pick the rest of the vegetables as you see fit."

Hu Tao was obedient; he did whatever Hu Hai asked him to do. After responding, he picked up a basket and went to the field to pick vegetables, which he quite enjoyed. Tie Chui and Hu Hai were opening clams in a corner of the yard. Tie Chui was a strength-type ability user; although he was only ten years old, his strength was no less than that of an adult.

The rest of the children were busy with tasks, some cleaning the yard, others wiping and washing things in the kitchen; in short, they all had something to do.

After prying open the clam shell, Hu Hai used his terminal to check: "Beep, Level 1 mutated freshwater clam meat, pollution index 9, edible."

Tan You raised an eyebrow: "This clam meat only has a pollution index of 9? Are there many river clams in the river?"

Hu Hai looked up: "I don't know, should we go into the water and take a look?"

Tan You immediately stopped her: "Let's not go, it's too dangerous in the river."

Iron Hammer wiped his sweat: "I think there should be a lot of river mussels in the river. Our section of the river is the safest. These small fish, shrimp and mussels all like to come here."

"The lotus flowers will bloom soon, and there will definitely be more river delicacies."

Tan You raised an eyebrow: "Are the lotus flowers about to bloom?"

How long has it been since it was planted? And it's already blooming!

Hu Hai: "A level-five mutated lotus can quickly fill the entire riverbed if it so chooses."

Tan You thought about it and agreed: "What about calamus?"

A boy said, "The calamus has also grown far along the river, but not as far as the lotus. The river is covered with lotus leaves, layer upon layer."

Tan You: "Is it convenient for you to fish?"

Hu Hai thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. My dad is curious whether we'll be digging for lotus roots this year."

Tan You chuckled: "Lotus root, we'll ask the mutated lotus flowers later. The whole river can't be full of mutated lotus flowers, there should be some ordinary lotus flowers, right? We can harvest the ordinary lotus roots then."

“Only the farm owner can do this job,” Hu Hai said with self-awareness: “None of us dared to let her get close to the calamus and lotus flowers.”

Even knowing that the edible mutated plant was a treasure trove, they dared not approach it casually. Tan You shook her head: "That's a winter matter, we'll talk about it then."

"exactly……"

Before Tan You could finish speaking, the communicator rang. The first thing she saw was Minister Huang's chubby face. Unusually, he wasn't smiling; instead, he was very serious: "Xiao Lin, the calamus and mutated lotus in the river next to you have been targeted."

Tan You's eyes narrowed: "You're so well-informed?"

Minister Huang smiled wryly: "Everyone is keeping such a close eye on mutant plants these days. Who wouldn't want as many mutant plants as possible in their hands?"

Tan You understood: "I understand, I'll hang up now."

Hu Hai asked anxiously, "Owner, what should we do?"

“Of course there are other ways,” Tan You said. How could she willingly hand over the calamus and lotus flowers to someone else? Not to mention that these were brought back by the little grass stems, she was the one who thoroughly purified these two mutated plants. She couldn’t let someone else pick the ready-made peaches.
