Chapter 1305 Farm Owner 58
Tan You ignored him completely. Anyone who saw her like this would have the same feeling. But what could she do? She couldn't possibly wrong herself for this, could she?
You can't do without meat.
The lunch feast was exceptionally extravagant, featuring a large pot of sauerkraut stewed with pork bones, braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig's trotters and soybean soup, four-happiness meatballs, and braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens.
Yan Liang, who had been complaining that pigs ate better than humans, fell silent and started showing off his food as soon as he sat down at the table. He was the one who showed off the most among everyone.
After everyone sat down at the table, they all served food to Tan You first. After all, they knew their own character; once they started grabbing food, they wouldn't care about anything else. Tan You simply took her bowl and went to the side to eat, and they all ate like hungry wolves.
Half an hour later, the table was completely empty. There was no leftover food, and the plates were so shiny they looked like they had been licked clean.
Chen Xiaojun took a breath and jumped up: "I'll go wash the dishes."
Once he moved, the others followed suit. They were all nimble, strong men, so getting the work done was a breeze for them.
Tan You brewed a pot of hawthorn water, and Xiao Wu leaned close to Tan You: "Master Lin, I see your cotton is about to be harvested. Are you selling your cotton?"
Tan You glanced at him sideways: "Want it?"
"Yes, I do want some," Xiao Wu said somewhat embarrassedly. "My older brother had a son this year, and the child doesn't have many clothes. I'd like to buy them a few kilograms of cotton to make some quilts for the child."
“Okay,” Tan You naturally wouldn’t refuse: “This batch of cotton was originally grown for the workers on the farm, and they don’t need this much. I can give you a few kilograms.”
Hu Feng walked over and said, "If the cotton harvest wasn't until next week, my parents would have come right now."
Tan You understood: "Then Xiao Wu, you should coordinate with Brother Hu. You can choose to have cotton, or the farm can make cotton quilts and cotton clothes for you. It depends on your own ideas."
Hu Feng put his arm around Xiao Wu's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's talk over there."
Minister Huang approached, a toothpick dangling from his mouth: "Forestry owner, are you selling cotton?"
"Let's prioritize our own family's needs first," Tan You said, not giving a definitive answer. "Winter is tough, so let's wait until they have the statistics on their end before making any decisions."
Minister Huang played the victim: "Why don't you plant a few more acres? You can plant another batch after you harvest your cotton. Most of our corps' plantations grow food for sustenance, and we have to buy cash crops like cotton from outside."
"The soldiers' hands and feet were covered in chilblains, which were painful and itchy in winter."
When he started playing the victim, Tan You couldn't say anything. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until this batch of cotton is harvested. Old Huang, you can't be this shameless when you're trying to fleece people."
"Captain Mu is sitting right there, why don't you go and bother your Captain Mu?"
Mu Nan quickly waved his hand with a smile: "My task is not light either. Managing the plantation at the base is time-consuming and laborious, and I am already working at full capacity."
Tan You pursed her lips and glanced at Jin Xi. She was once again thankful she hadn't joined Jin Xi's group. If she had joined the legion, where would her current freedom be?
Jin Xi understood the meaning in Tan You's eyes. He smiled and thought Tan You was really shrewd.
A week later, the cotton fields were bustling with activity. Except for Tan You not having to go to the fields herself, everyone, adults and children, were mobilized this time.
Hu Feng's parents stayed in the workshop. The elderly couple had arrived at the farm yesterday and were eager to get started. Tan You ignored them; Hu Feng handled all the trivial matters. She was only responsible for seedling cultivation and sowing, leaving the rest to the workers.
After working continuously for nearly half a month, the cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the children and workers were all ready before winter. At this time, the second crop of cotton was also ready for harvest. Growing ten acres of cotton in half a month was a considerable burden for Tan You's supernatural abilities.
Fortunately, it only happened this once. If it had continued for a long time, Tan You would have turned against her.
After settling the bill with Minister Huang and sending Hu Feng's parents back, the farm officially entered its winter hibernation period. Although it was called hibernation, it was anything but idle. First, the farm's sweet potatoes had to be processed into sweet potato flour and dried sweet potatoes, then into rice noodles and vermicelli, etc. As long as you didn't want to be idle, there was always work to be done.
But no one wanted to be idle, so they worked from the moment they opened their eyes. Tan You watched them for two days and felt exhausted just watching them.
She eventually stopped going to see them and let them do their thing. Meanwhile, she stayed in her little courtyard, cooking for herself and Doumi and Senior Turtle.
The beauty system took over her spiritual spring breeding space, and now the warehouse is full of pork, beef, and mutton, all of which are pure, natural, and pollution-free. Sending them to the processing workshop yields many meat rolls and various kinds of meatballs.
Not only Tan You loved to eat it, but Dou Mi and Senior Turtle also enjoyed it. Tan You ate hot pot in the courtyard. They ate meat, while Ruyi and the other mutated plants received spiritual spring water and energy balls. Both sides got what they wanted.
After swishing a piece of lamb slices in the hot pot, Tan You sighed with satisfaction: "It's so nice to have a space."
I never imagined I'd achieve "hot pot freedom" in this wasteland! No wonder so many people want the Spirit Spring Space; you'd never starve, no matter where you go.
It's a pity I can't go in, but this is good enough. Tan You isn't greedy.
Time flies, and five years have passed in a short time. Tan You is now twenty years old.
"cheers!"
Happy birthday to the owner! May you stay young and strong forever!
Everyone toasted Tan You, their faces beaming with genuine smiles.
Looking at the nearly two hundred people around her, Tan You couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you everyone, it's just a birthday, why make such a big fuss?"
A burly man with a booming voice laughed, "Of course! Such a big day should be celebrated properly. We won't go back tonight; we'll stay here with Old Hu and go back tomorrow after we've sobered up."
Tan You nodded: "You can make your own arrangements, as long as the farm is alright."
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything for C60, there won't be any problems at all." The burly man said loudly, "We've definitely made all the necessary preparations before coming here."
That's right. In the past five years, Tan You's farms have expanded further. Previously, there were only C87 and C88, but now, they have expanded to C60.
This area now far exceeds the legion's plantation. However, over the years, only Tan You's farm has developed the best. Later, the nearby farm owners either left or scattered.
Tan You couldn't bear to see the land lying idle and wasted, and on top of that, she also had to house the wounded soldiers from the legion. Thus, Tan You had no choice but to continue farming and expand the planting area.
Fortunately, she only had to be responsible for seedling cultivation; the subsequent transplanting and other tasks were handled by the employees.
After her farm expanded, its produce was gradually sold to the base, greatly alleviating the food shortage in the market. Her farm became a place many people wanted to visit, but unfortunately, it only accepted wounded soldiers and their families.
After a lively evening with her employees, it was nearly midnight when she returned home. Strolling among the exotic plants in C88, Tan You felt refreshed. She was now a level nine wood-type ability user; if she hadn't reached that level, she wouldn't have expanded her operations so significantly.
C88 is now lush with exotic plants, and Tan You's once-proud ambition to create an exotic plant farm has now become a reality. Over the years, she has encountered many schemes and plots, but Tan You has ruthlessly refuted them all.
Especially after her "psychic abilities" were exposed, those who had designs on her disappeared without a trace. Tan You was happy to have some peace and quiet; she just wanted to live a peaceful life farming in the wasteland world.
