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

"call……"

"Looks like I'll have to work out more in the future; farming is physically demanding."

Lin Fan gave a wry smile and stretched his stiff neck.

He glanced at the time; it was three in the afternoon.

Tuantuan is still asleep, her little face is rosy.

Lin Fan didn't wake her up. Instead, he got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and changed back into his usual casual clothes.

In any case, the most critical "supply disruption crisis" has been temporarily averted.

With the acceleration of chemical fertilizers, coupled with the farm's own tenfold flow rate, the first batch of bok choy and scallions can be harvested in a maximum of three days.

As for rice and pork, we'll have to be careful with our spending for a while longer.

"go home."

Lin Fan picked up the drowsy Tuantuan and locked the shop door.

Although he now has money, he doesn't have the extravagant desires of a nouveau riche.

He's incredibly generous when it comes to buying things for Tuantuan, but he's still very frugal with himself.

After all, if he wanted to truly establish himself in Jiangcheng, where land is incredibly valuable, and if he wanted to meet Su Qing's six-month agreement, the money he had was far from enough.

……

The next day, at four in the morning.

The bedroom in Jinmao Mansion was quiet, with only the faint sound of the central air conditioning running.

Lin Fan opened his eyes right on time.

He sat up abruptly, a thought forming in his mind.

"Enter the farm."

The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting.

When I opened my eyes again, a fresh scent of earthy fragrance wafted towards me.

Lin Fan immediately headed towards the two acres of yellow land he had reclaimed the day before.

When it was planted yesterday, this place was just a bare, dry patch of yellow earth.

At this moment, under the constant morning light in the space, Lin Fan saw that the ridges of the ground were already covered with a light, fuzzy green.

Those were newly sprouted seedlings, densely packed and full of vitality.

The premium Chinese cabbage has already sprouted two tender yellow true leaves, only the size of a fingernail, standing trembling in the soil.

The green onions and single-clove garlic also sprouted a bright green shoot, like newly sprouted grass tips, and you could even smell a very faint pungent aroma.

"Holy crap..."

Lin Fan squatted down and looked at the greenery all over the ground. Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but swear.

"It's only been a few hours!"

In the outside world, even with the fastest-growing varieties, the process of germinating and emerging from the soil takes at least three to five days, and it also depends on the temperature and humidity.

Here, the seedlings sprouted right after a nap?

"Ten times the flow rate, plus a 30% acceleration from primary fertilizer..."

Lin Fan quickly did some mental calculations.

With the addition of chemical fertilizers, this is equivalent to the effect of crops growing for a week or even ten days in the outside world!

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Lin Fan gently touched the fragile seedling with his finger, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

He was worried that the vegetable supply would run out in the next few days, but now it seems like we've hit a rocket!

At this rate, Chinese cabbage that normally takes 30 days to mature can be fully grown here in just over two days!

In other words, this batch of dishes will be ready to serve in another day and a half!

"It's safe."

Lin Fan stood up, patted the dirt off his hands, and finally felt relieved.

Watching life grow wildly is more addictive than simply giving someone a pile of food. It's a sense of control, a real source of confidence.

"The rice crop will probably be a bit slower, given its long growing season, but it'll be soon too."

Lin Fan watered the field again, and a smile appeared on his lips as he watched the seedlings greedily absorbing the water.

"Grow, grow as big as you can. When you're all grown up, the diners outside will probably be staring you in the eye."

Although it's not time to harvest yet, the wait of just one or two days is absolutely worthwhile.

Exit the farm.

Lin Fan glanced at the time; it was 4:30.

There are still several hours before we can set up our stall. Now that the vegetable problem is solved, we need to take care of some other practical issues.

The store is doing so well that, apart from the core ingredients provided by the system, other consumables are almost gone.

For example, takeout boxes, disposable chopsticks, paper towels, and most importantly, condiments such as vinegar, chili, and Sichuan peppercorn oil.

The system provided a recipe, but not all the seasonings.

Previously, he would just buy noodles from the nearby supermarket, which was not only expensive but also of inconsistent quality, and was not worthy of his noodles at all.

Now that things are going to be standardized, these things need to be sourced directly from the source and must be made with ingredients that are appropriate for the system.

"Let's go to the wholesale market."

Lin Fan changed into a pair of durable sportswear, grabbed his car keys, and went out.

……

At 5 a.m., the Jiangcheng Agricultural Wholesale Market was already bustling with activity.

This is the city's "stomach," with countless trucks coming and going, and the air filled with a mixture of smells of fresh produce, vegetables, soil, and exhaust fumes.

Lin Fan drove his Wuling Hongguang, skillfully weaving through the congested traffic.

This vehicle is practically a miracle here; it's sturdy, can carry a lot, and blends perfectly into its surroundings.

He went to the dried goods and seasonings section first.

"Boss, give me ten cases of this Zhenjiang vinegar. Make sure it's the brewed kind, don't try to fool me with the adulterated stuff."

"And this Erjingtiao chili powder, I want it extra spicy, and five catties of Dahongpao peppercorns too."

Lin Fan was browsing through items at a shop called "Old Liu's Dried Goods".

The shop owner was a shrewd middle-aged man. He could tell from Lin Fan's way of selecting things that he was an expert, so he dared not be negligent.

"Hey young man, these peppercorns are fresh from Hanyuan, they're really numbing!" The shopkeeper handed him a cigarette.

Lin Fan waved his hand to decline, picked up a peppercorn, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

In that instant, a tingling, electric-like sensation exploded on the tip of my tongue.

Lin Fan nodded. Although the peppercorns from the mortal world lacked a bit of "spiritual energy" compared to the top-tier ingredients produced by the system, they were still considered top-quality on the market.

"Okay, that's all. Help me load it into the car."

After buying the seasonings, Lin Fan went to the packaging materials section.

He chose the best quality, odorless, thickened biodegradable lunchbox.

Although the cost was twice as high as that of ordinary foam boxes on the market, he did not want to ruin the reputation of "Lin's Shop" because of such details.

After a round of shopping, the trunk of the Wuling Hongguang was packed full.

By this time, it was already broad daylight.

When passing by the vegetable wholesale area, Lin Fan stopped the car to take a look.

The piles of cabbages, radishes, and scallions looked quite fresh and vibrant.

But when Lin Fan got closer, he could smell a faint scent of fertilizer and earth.

Especially the scallions, which only had a pungent, spicy smell, but lacked the unique sweet aroma of plants.

"As expected, there's no comparison."

Lin Fan shook his head.

Even the freshest goods at the wholesale market seem like mass-produced dregs compared to the newly sprouted seedlings on his farm.

"Looks like I'll just have to wait until my batch of cabbages ripens."

Lin Fan didn't buy any groceries; he simply turned around and got into the car.
