Chapter 101 Strange Vegetables

Rural Cooperative Association and farmer’s hut were the same prices, but it could double the work that was done by five farmers. It directly cut the cost by half. With this building, only 15 farmer’s huts were needed to take care of the entire small farm. In this way, the Moe Coins he had would be enough, although he would be broke again.

Oh well, Zhou Yu had to accept the fate that Moe Coins would always be not enough. The most hateful thing was that there was no channel that he could use real money to top-up Moe Coins.

Overnight, 13 new farmer’s huts appeared on the small farm, and there were three Rural Cooperative Association in Chinese rural historical style. They were group 1, group 2, and group 3 respectively.

Tian Niang was the most senior farmer, so she was promoted to the leader of group 1, she now had four female farmer subordinates. Uncle Guan Er was now the leader of the group 2, and he had four male farmer subordinates. And the third group leader was a lucky farmer. Because he was immediately leveled up to 3 stars when his hut was constructed. The farmer’s name was called Browning. The same as the other group, he also had four foreign farmer subordinates. Zhou Yu was actually quite surprised when he discovered that there were foreign farmers in the ACG world.

‘Muhahah… a premade group of fifteen farmers. Are you scared?’

Today might be Zhou Yu’s most hard-working day. After he finally placed all the farmer’s huts, and clearly divided the area that Rural Cooperative Association needed to cover, he already sweated all over the place. After planting all the seeds, he finished all his work. After that, small farmers would take care of everything.

He just needed to wait for the delicious vegetables to be served.

As for the little boss personally taking care of a small farm, no one was optimistic about it. They all just regarded it as another strange hobby of the little boss. In fact, it was also true. With such a large farm, only a small piece of it had been used by him. The vegetable he grew was only enough for one person at most.

Perhaps, the little boss also knew that it was a waste, so today, the employees of the park saw that the rarely working little boss was busy doing something on the farm. But no one understood why he would want to put some strange housing models on the farm.

No one also understood why all of a sudden, little boss wanted to plant so many vegetables and insisted on taking care of it personally. If all the vegetables were dead, the little boss would lose his little face.

The kind grandpa Husan wanted to help. He wanted to try his best to save as many vegetables as possible. So he always took the time to come to Zhou Yu’s farm and see what he could do to help after he finished his work. But what he didn’t expect was that all the vegetables had survived and they were growing very well. It was even better than the vegetables that were taken care of by himself.

This was so strange. Because he knew for sure that every time, the time, that the little boss spent here, was even quicker than taking a dump, let alone taking care of those vegetables. It was even more common to see that little boss not coming to the farm for several days. Compared with another relatively large, pesticide-free, natural farm, the vegetables here were like they were raised by their stepmothers(Note). . However, the vegetables that were raised by their stepmothers, were growing much better than those vegetables that had been carefully taken care of. What kind of joke was this?

Grandpa Husan’s three fundamental views of the world were almost shattered. It made him come to the little boss’s farm, even more, often. However, he still could not understand why they were growing so well. In the end, he could only think that the little boss might have some secret methods for growing vegetables.

At the moment, the vegetables, that were produced by the farm in the amusement park, were used to feed employees. There was a small dining hall for employees in the park. The local chefs they hired were not particularly good at cooking, but there were no problems for them to make the food for employees. For Zhou Yu, who was terrible at cooking, no matter how bad those chefs were at cooking, they were still much better than him.

After all, he was still the boss of the park, so it was normal to see him come to the dining hall to get something to eat. Every time, he would go to his farm to pick some mature vegetables and ask the chubby chef to cook those vegetables for him. Sitting alone in a booth on the second floor near the window, he could enjoy the cool breeze and the view of the fish pond while eating the delicious food. It was much better than eating instant noddles in front of the computer.

This small dining hall for the employees was built in a retro style. It was just like a small restaurant in ancient times. The employees often jokingly said that no one would be able to enjoy the food when eating in such a beautiful building. The second floor was more elegant. After all, there were private booths. Unfortunately, there were no musicians playing musical instruments or singers singing songs. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would be able to experience what it felt like to transmigrate into ancient china.

Eating, drinking, and sleeping, all the problems could be perfectly solved in the amusement park. Zhou Yu was increasingly unwilling to leave little paradise amusement park.

However, Zhou Fu was not as free as Zhou Yu. As Zhou Yu’s plenipotentiary representative, he went to the big city with Liu Gongcai and witnessed how many people would go crazy over a top animated movie, and how much money would be thrown in. As his view was enriched every day while he was in the city, after he came back from the city, Little paradise – the amusement park, that he originally thought was very good,  was no longer that good anymore.

“Boy Yu, I finally found you! So you are hiding here.”

The only person that dared to enter his booth without any permission would be Uncle Fu. Leaving the village for almost a month, Uncle Fu was really working very hard. However, with a radiant, blooming complexion on his face, it did not look like he was very tired. People in society were really weird. If it were him, he would have probably already lost a few kilograms of meat already.

Zhou Fu took a bowl of steam rice and chopsticks from the chubby chef as he talked about what he had seen and heard this month while eating the food in front of Zhou Yu.

And then, the problem followed.

“Huh? Older Li, haven’t seen you in a month, your cooking skill improved dramatically!”

Indeed, at least, a month ago when he was eating here, he felt like he was eating the food from some street sellers, but now he felt like he was eating in a restaurant, it was totally a different level.

Speaking of this problem, Chef Li himself also wondered many times. How come the dishes that he made for the little boss smelled so good every time. He had also tasted some of them secretly, which was indeed more delicious than the dishes that he usually cooked. At first, he thought that he had finally understood the essence of cooking overnight, but it immediately returned to normal when he was making the meal for other employees.

Only after a while, did he finally find the answer. It was the problem with the vegetables that were brought to him by the little boss.

“Brother Fu, stop pulling my leg, you know my cooking skills. It was Boy Yu’s vegetables, they are extremely good.”

The employees of the park all called Zhou Yu boss at first, but Zhou Yu always felt very awkward when they call him that. So everyone just followed Zhou Fu to call him Boy Yu. After all, they were all from the same village, there was no need to have all kinds of unnecessary etiquette. Privately, however, the term “little boss” was more popular.

After Zhou Fu tasted each one of the dishes from the table and then went downstairs to try other dishes, he found out that it was indeed very different.

“So… all of the dishes on this table were made from the ingredients that were brought here by Boy Yu? I find it very hard to believe. grandpa Husan is known for growing good vegetables. Boy Yu doesn’t even know anything about growing plants. How can the vegetables that were grown by him better than grandpa Husan’s vegetables?”

Although Zhou Fu had not done farm work for many years, he still knew that Zhou Yu did not know anything about farming. Not to mention that he had also seen how he tried to plant some vegetables in his small vegetable field in his old house. So growing vegetables? Don’t be silly.

However, the reality was very cruel. When he arrived at Zhou Yu’s small farm, he saw the vegetables there were really lush and exuberant. It was far better looking than the vegetable in the grandpa Husan’s farm.

“This is very strange. The animals you trained are ridiculously smart, and now even the vegetable you grew are better than the people who have grown vegetables for many years. don’t tell me that you are born to be a farmer.”

Zhou Fu was amazed by what he had seen, but he did not stay on this question for long. Because he knew that Zhou Yu’s interest was not in agriculture, otherwise, he would not have set up an amusement park.

As for the delicious food, he could always ask Zhou Yu to bring some to him. After all, he was also the manager of this amusement park.
