I run a farm, what the heck is this post-apocalyptic farm owner system?

Chapter 127: Another fortune to be made!

The tomatoes and cucumbers on the farm are ripe.

Upon receiving the news, Yonghui Supermarket, a partner, immediately dispatched a truck to pick up the goods.

These tomatoes and cucumbers will go into the vegetable processing plant, be packaged, and then placed on the shelves for sale.

Because of its high quality, it is a pure natural high-end vegetable with a very broad market prospect.

Now it has established a firm foothold.

Xu Ran was the happiest person at this moment.

I'm on-site every day, monitoring the harvested crops and weighing them.

After all, the contract stipulates a price per kilogram; the more you sell, the more money you make.

We're finally open for business!

The farm now has a large workforce: 6 people in the planting department, 4 people in the animal husbandry department, and 3 people in the logistics department, totaling 13 people. Even if each person is paid an average of 5000 yuan, the monthly expenditure would be 65,000 yuan.

There are other costs as well, which add up to more.

Therefore, once the greenhouse crops mature, he can recoup some of his costs, which naturally makes Xu Ran happy.

These past two days, we've been selling tomatoes, and the employees have been picking tomatoes every day.

Now we don't need to hire extra people; the employees can handle all the work.

However, Xu's father, mother, and uncle all came to help.

Since they were doing the work, Xu Ran had no choice but to do it herself.

After all, more people mean more strength.

"Dad, didn't we take 20 yuan to open a farm stay? How's it going?"

Xu Ran heard that her father was also starting a business, so she asked him about it.

"We're still looking for a cook. We can't find a good one, and neither your mother nor I are professional cooks."

"We've rented a courtyard, filled two acres with land, built a fishpond, and set up two mahjong parlors."

"That's what Mr. Xu replied."

Mr. Xu's luck is amazing. He started his own farm business but it didn't go very well. Now his son has become a self-made millionaire.

Although they weren't extremely wealthy, they were considered among the rich in the area.

"If you can't handle it, don't run a farm stay. Just rent a pond and open a fishing area. You can go fishing yourself."

"For farmhouses, the owners need to be eloquent and able to talk to the guests. The more capable ones might even take the initiative to toast the guests."

"If you had this kind of social skills, our family wouldn't have to work so hard to run the farm."

"It would be great to set up a fishing spot."

Xu Ran has a clear understanding of her father's abilities.

It's good enough if we don't lose money.

"You underestimate me. There's absolutely no problem."

"Once the agritainment business opens, we'll be able to fish, play mahjong, and I'll build a greenhouse to grow strawberries so people can come and pick them."

"Just you wait, it'll be a hit."

Mr. Xu was full of confidence.

"Alright then." Xu Ran sighed. "As long as we don't gamble, this level of startup won't lose much. Two hundred thousand is just three months' salary for my employees, which I can manage."

At this point, Mr. Xu asked again, "Is making short videos particularly lucrative now? Some people are even contacting me, saying they can earn hundreds of thousands a month by making videos like you! They're even trying to get me to sign a contract or something."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran's previously calm heart instantly tensed up again.

"What? You want me to sign a contract? Don't do that, you'll end up losing money without even knowing how."

Xu Ran immediately pressed for details.

"I didn't sign it, and I don't understand how it works, so I didn't do it. Besides, even if I were to do it, I would have to ask you first."

"The company even came up with a name for my account."

"I don't think that's right."

Mr. Xu recounted the story.

"What's the account name? Let me see," Xu Ran asked again.

Farm owner Xu Xiangqian (mentor Xu Ran)

"Come on, don't make videos. Running a farm stay is fine. Don't get involved in videos. The waters here are too deep; you can't handle it."

"Okay, I wasn't planning on filming it anyway, I don't have the skills."

Xu Ran discovered that, as long as people have enough to eat and drink, they start looking for things to do.

Before, I had to struggle to make a living, but now I can do whatever I want.

Fortunately, Mr. Xu was quite sensible, so there wasn't a major problem.

Everyone was busy in the greenhouse, loading boxes of tomatoes onto large trucks, which were then transported away.

This is the first wave of money I've made from planting since the beginning of spring.

He coughed up a lot of blood.

Whenever the farm has a big event, there are always a few elderly people from the village watching.

This time, people from the neighboring farm were also watching.

Farm owner Han Tai, in particular, was completely bewildered.

"His greenhouse tomatoes are ripe already? So fast?"

"Mine has only just begun to bloom!"

"Did he plant it earlier than me? That can't be right, we planted it at the same time."

"Not only does the wheat grow faster than me, but the tomatoes grow faster too!"

"This isn't right!"

Han Tae felt a strong urge to try it.

In fact, his farm is operating normally, and the crops are growing at a normal rate.

There was nothing wrong with it originally, but people are afraid of comparison.

When you compare yourself to others, it's easy to break down.

Seeing Xu Ran making money again made her even more upset.

Hantae's farm is not that big; currently, it only grows greenhouse tomatoes and wheat.

All of this is in an effort to replicate Xu Ran's success.

But now Han Tae has discovered that Xu Ran's success is clearly not replicable.

He was on the verge of a breakdown.

At this moment, Xu Ran felt relaxed.

He opened the task panel, where ripe tomatoes and cucumbers were counted as task progress, so the task was completed easily.

The grain stockpiling task only requires stockpiling enough crops; selling the crops afterwards will not affect the task.

As a result, Xu Ran received a new reward: the Money Tree.

The money tree is much bigger than I imagined.

Xu Ran originally thought it was a potted plant, but it turned out to be a real tree.

It should be planted in an open space.

Fortunately, there was still some space outside his small courtyard, which was suitable for planting trees.

It was planted right behind the yard.

It also gives the little ones more space to move around.

This is another profitable opportunity.

After two busy days, the group managed to pick all the tomatoes in the greenhouse.

Even colleagues from the breeding department came to help.

Boxes of tomatoes are being transported to supermarkets and will likely be on the shelves soon.

Moreover, Manager Yang Kaifu told Xu Ran that this batch of goods would not only be sold locally, but a significant portion would also be transported to Tianfu City.

That's the provincial capital; customer demands are higher, so sales are faster.

So this time, the tomatoes weren't harvested in several batches; they were all picked at once.

Xu Ran didn't care about any of that.

As long as the transaction is processed normally, it's fine.

Soon, a sum of around 30 yuan was transferred to Xu Ran's company account.

As soon as the money arrived in his account, Xu Ran felt immediately at ease.

I've been busy with tomatoes these past few days, so I haven't had much time to play with the animals.

The dogs wait outside the greenhouse every day, but Xu Ran can't spend time with them.

I only play with them when I get home at night.

There were also little foxes, wild boars, black horses, and other animals, but Xu Ran didn't have time to feed them.

Now that I'm finally done with my work, I can play with these guys again.

In the evening, the farm hosts a dinner party.

Xu Ran raised the standard of meals; as long as the money was right, the dishes would naturally be plentiful.

They offer plenty of dishes like braised pork knuckle, braised prawns, and sweet and sour pork ribs.

The employees were in high spirits, filling their glasses and enthusiastically toasting each other.

There wasn't as much formalism here. Xu Ran didn't say much, just said, "Everyone has worked hard, let's not waste time and just eat."

Then, everyone began to eat and drink heartily.

Those who like to drink can drink, but they must be driven home by someone who doesn't drink; they definitely can't ride a bike home.

If you don't like alcohol, you can drink beverages.

The atmosphere on the farm was wonderful.

Outside the door, four Border Collies were there, and the village's big yellow dog came again, tilting its head and looking into the canteen as if asking, "Is there extra food today?"

Little Gray barked at it, and Big Yellow Dog came running over eagerly to wait.

The cat smelled the shrimp and sat on the roof waiting.

Once everyone else has finished eating, they will also have a full meal.

People eat happily, and the animals wait with anticipation.

Life on the farm remains wonderful.
