After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

My gaze swept over the shelves next to me.

Premium crab roe and black pork skin jelly used to make crab roe soup dumplings.

The century-old charcoal-smoked plums and Tianshan snow lotus honey used to make sour plum soup.

The quantities are all decreasing dramatically and visibly.

Especially the snow lotus honey that was taken out at noon today, which originally filled a whole white jade jar, is now almost half gone.

Lin Fan stood in the storage room, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

He has been ignoring a critically flawed problem all along.

When the system was initially linked, it did indeed generously provide a "newbie gift pack", which contained a large number of top-quality ingredients.

These ingredients have sustained him from a stall at the university town night market all the way to where he is now, running this lucrative business.

Because business was so good every day, he was constantly extracting resources from the system space.

This gave him a subconscious illusion: that the system's ingredients were inexhaustible.

But the reality is not so.

The supplies provided during the "new player protection period" are limited!

"We can only hold out for another week at most."

Lin Fan quickly calculated the consumption rate of all the ingredients in his mind.

"If we encounter peak passenger flow like on weekends, we might not even be able to last a week."

What happens if we run out of food?

Go to the farmers' market to buy regular pork and regular rice?

Absolutely not.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The diners in Peach Blossom Spring have long been spoiled by the top-quality ingredients provided by the system.

Even with Lin Fan's current culinary skills, he could never recreate the kind of flavor that makes people's souls tremble and willingly pay a high price if it were just ordinary ingredients.

If ordinary ingredients are forcibly used, the reputation that Peach Blossom Spring has built up will completely collapse within a day.

Just as Lin Fan was staring at the empty rice bag, his brain racing as he thought of a solution.

Deep in my mind, that long-lost, cold, mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out without warning.

【Ding! 】

[System detection shows that the cumulative sales of the restaurants under the host's name have officially exceeded 500,000.]

[A milestone has been achieved!]

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the special scenario expansion pack: Spirit Farm (Beginner)!]

[System Prompt: Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. New player supplies are about to end. Please become self-reliant and embark on the path of farming and animal husbandry.]

[The farm is bound to the host's consciousness space and can be entered at any time via thought.]

Lin Fan's hand gripping the freezer handle tightened suddenly.

Lingtian Farm!

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

As expected, the system doesn't issue guaranteed death traps.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan walked out of the storage room and glanced at Tuantuan, who was fast asleep on the cashier counter.

The little girl's breathing was steady, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Lin Fan turned the store's central air conditioning to the lowest setting, letting the gentle breeze caress his daughter.

Then he pulled up a chair, sat down, and closed his eyes.

"Enter the farm," Lin Fan silently recited in his mind.

next second.

Lin Fan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a slight feeling of weightlessness.

When he opened his eyes again, the scenery around him had changed dramatically.

He stood on a wide-open piece of land.

The sky was blue with white clouds, and the air was extremely fresh. When you breathed it in, you could even smell a faint earthy fragrance.

Lin Fan looked down.

Underfoot is a piece of land with an area of ​​about two acres.

The soil has a very ordinary dry yellow color, looking like the loess clods most common on the North China Plain, and in some places you can even see fine gravel.

In the center of the loess land, there is a well made of rough bluestone blocks.

The well water wasn't deep; you could barely see the surface.

To the left of the field was a makeshift livestock pen hastily constructed with a few broken pieces of wood.

At the very edge of the farm, there is a thatched hut that lets in drafts from all sides.

The entire space not only lacked "spirit," but also exuded a sense of poverty and desolation.

Lin Fan walked to the patch of yellow earth, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of dry, yellow soil.

The moment Lin Fan touched the soil, a semi-transparent system panel automatically appeared in front of him.

Farm Level: Lv.1 (Beginner)

[Level-up Experience: 0 / 100 (Experience points are gained by harvesting crops and livestock products)]

[Current land condition: Primary loess soil (total of two mu).]

[Loess soil properties: Contains trace amounts of earth vein energy. Crops grow 10 times faster than in the outside world.]

[System Description: Farm land is graded as follows: Yellow Land → Red Land → Black Land → Golden Land.]

[Note: Even the lowest grade of primary loess soil, with its soil structure and trace element content, produces crops that inherently possess a "sweet" quality.]

Looking at the panel in front of him, a flash of understanding appeared in Lin Fan's eyes.

Ten times the growth rate of the outside world!

This means that rice that takes 100 days to mature in other places can mature in just 10 days here!

Bok choy that takes half a month to grow in other places can be on the table in a day and a half here!

The most crucial aspect is immunity against diseases and pests, which saves a significant amount of maintenance costs.

Moreover, as long as we continue to plant and harvest, and accumulate experience, this yellow land will eventually be upgraded to red land, or even gold land!

The quality of the food we grow will be far superior to what's currently included in the "newbie gift pack"!

"Open the supporting supplies," Lin Fan silently recited in his mind.

[Ding! The Beginner Farm Starter Pack has been sent.]

As the system notification tone faded.

A pile of supplies appeared out of nowhere in the open space in front of the thatched hut.

Five dusty gray burlap sacks and two bamboo cages.

Lin Fan walked over and untied the sack.

[10 jin of Xiangshui tribute rice seeds]

[One bag of premium Chinese cabbage seeds]

[One bag of purple-skinned single-clove garlic seeds]

[One bag of scallion seeds]

[Two century-old plum saplings]

Then look at the two bamboo cages.

Inside a cage were ten energetic, jet-black black piglets, which were rooting around and making grunting noises.

In another cage, fifty fluffy yellow chicks huddled together, chirping away.

Lin Fan looked at these things and took a deep breath.

The items are available.

These two acres of dry, yellow land, and these squealing pigs and chickens.

He had to do everything himself: turn the soil, plant the seeds, and feed the animals.

The system gave him a growth cycle that exceeded reality and the best quality varieties.

To keep Peach Blossom Spring running and to truly establish himself in this city, he must shed the remaining sweat himself.

"Get to work."

Lin Fan had no complaints. He was never one to be afraid of hardship.

Back when I was with the Su family, what dirty or tiring job didn't I do?

Now, he's full of energy working for himself and his daughter.

He took off his coat and went into the thatched hut.

A complete set of rusty farm tools was placed in the corner: shovel, hoe, bucket, and carrying pole.

Lin Fan reached out and picked up an iron hoe, then walked to the patch of yellow earth.

Grip the hoe handle tightly and raise it high.

Swing the hoe.

"Click!"
