I CAN ENTER THE GAME

by Kideo11

Qin Lin was playing a nostalgic game called "Ranches Story" when he was electrocuted. He suddenly discovered that he had the ability to enter into the game. He could even bring a watermelon he had planted in the game back to reality. At first, his plan was to sell watermelon for 2 yuan a catty. In that case, he could earn 20,000 yuan by planting 10,000 catties worth of watermelon

Chapter 1

Reality could be a beautiful and soft girl who lets you experience everything good. It could also be a fat and fierce woman who crushed you until you could not breathe. This depended on how much savings you had.

…

The scorching sun in August made people restless.

In Youcheng County.

It was a lousy place with an average salary of 3 to 4,000 yuan and an average house price of 12,000 yuan.

In a small fruit and vegetable shop, Qin Lin handed the vegetables in his hand to a middle-aged woman with a smile. "Auntie, your vegetables. Please come again."

After sending off the guests, he looked at a few annoying flies and had to pick up the fly swatter to chase them away.

After the chaotic battle, a few mosquito corpses were cut down.

Qin Lin sat on the recycling table and picked up his phone to open a new nostalgic game, "Range Story."

This was a game developed by farming. It was very open and did not require too much technology. It could kill time for the people guarding the shop.

It had been a year since he graduated, but he had still achieved nothing. Instead, he was selling fruits and vegetables as a tourism management major. Reality always left him with no choice.

His family had been poor for three generations. A few years ago, his grandfather had gotten sick. Before he passed away, his father had relied on this fruit and vegetable shop to wake up early and work late to maintain his grandfather's medical expenses and family expenses.

However, God was joking with their family. After Grandpa passed away, his father was also diagnosed with cancer a year ago because of his long-term fatigue.

It was almost impossible for his mother to survive with this small fruit and vegetable shop. Even after selling the house and borrowing hundreds of thousands of yuan from everywhere, she still could not save his father.

His mother also had health problems because of her hard work. Her various checkup data were not very good and she needed someone to take care of her.

Therefore, even if he had the chance to stay in a big company after graduation, he had to come back to take care of his mother and inherit this small fruit and vegetable shop, including his family's external debt.

If most people's starting point was 0, his was negative hundreds of thousands.

There was no fairness in life.

It was not that he had not thought of looking for opportunities while watching the shop, but as a graduate, not only did he lack social experience, but he also did not have the funds.

With the income of this shop, the maintenance of expenses and his mother's nutritional expenses, and the fact that he has to repay a little external debt every month, his card balance was less than 4,500 yuan.

He did not even have the right to go to the hospital for a cold.

After all, he could not earn 100,000 to 1 million yuan a month on a certain sound platform with a 30 square meters fruit shop. It was a magical place with a per capita of 100 million yuan.

Before his mother's health improved and he did not need anyone to take care of him, he could only stay in this small shop and maintain his survival.

He sighed and controlled his game character to walk out of the door. In front of him was the six plots of watermelon land. He had only opened these six plots not long after he started the game.

Weeding and watering!

After a while, the watermelons on the six squares also indicated that they were ripe. The time flow in the game was always different. Watermelons that took a few months to mature in reality could mature in the game in more than ten hours.

Every piece of land could produce 15 to 20 watermelons.

Qin Lin was about to control the game character to pick watermelons when an electric current suddenly shot out of his phone, instantly numbing his entire body.

A power leak?

Qin Lin subconsciously wanted to curse.

This was not a third-rate phone. How could a leak be so powerful?

"Ding! Special game channel activated. Lock in the game "Range Story." Please wait a moment…"

"?" Qin Lin patted his head.

How could he have hallucinations from touching electricity?

"Ding! Special game channel connection successful. You have connected to the game "Range Story." Is this the first time the host has entered the game?"

A very psychedelic scene appeared in Qin Lin's mind at the same time. It was a pasture with mature watermelons lying on the ground.

Was this a game scene from "Range Story"?

The game character was still standing in front of the watermelon field. It was the same character he had controlled to pick the watermelon just now.

What was even more unbelievable was that with a thought, the game character went forward and picked a watermelon.

Could he play games with his mind?

Then, Qin Lin found a special notification option at the top of the screen: Do you want to enter?!

"Yes!"

Qin Lin thought of the notification from before and found it unbelievable. He tried to make a choice.

A strange suction appeared. Almost instantly, the scene in front of him changed.

In front of him was a green watermelon field.

There was a special fragrance of watermelon in the air. Furthermore, he was holding a watermelon in his hand, as if he had replaced his game character.

"This isn't an illusion?" Qin Lin was in disbelief. The feeling of the watermelon in his hand was abnormally real. Furthermore, there was a message floating in it.

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 1]

[Remarks: Although it's not a special type of watermelon, it's produced by the game. It's the best among ordinary watermelons.

Delicious +1, sweet +1, taste +1.]

The fruits planted by this Ranches Story had quality. The higher the quality, the more delicious they were, and the higher the price.

However, this remark was different from the game. There was actually an attribute enhancement.

Qin Lin put down the watermelon in his hand and picked a few more. Another message appeared. Every message was the same. They all had the attributes of Delicious +1, Sweet +1.

He looked around again. Buildings with windmills, storage rooms, fences…

Everything was the same as in the game.

The only difference was that the land in front of him was really wide. It was filled with watermelons, not the small modules in the game. Even the fruits planted were represented by numbers.

Chapter 2

Furthermore, looking at the time on his phone, the time flow in the game had returned to normal after he came in.

Then, Qin Lin thought of something and hurriedly looked at the scene in his mind.

If he could not go back, wouldn't his mother be anxious?

However, the scene in his mind changed to the scene in the fruit and vegetable shop. The notification on it changed: Do you want to exit?

This was clearly free entry and exit.

Qin Lin exited silently. The special suction feeling appeared again. He returned to the fruit and vegetable shop with a watermelon in his hand.

In order to confirm the authenticity, he took a knife and cut the watermelon into two on the chopping board. The red watermelon meat was revealed, but there was no melon seed.

This was a real watermelon!

Qin Lin took another half and cut it into a few pieces. He picked up a piece and wanted to try it, but he was afraid that something would happen. After all, this watermelon was too unbelievable.

When he reached the entrance of the shop, he saw a dirty black dog wandering in front of a trash can.

It was easy to find food in the market, so stray dogs often appeared. Even if the relevant departments caught one, new ones would come after a while.

There were too many people who could only blame themselves for raising a dog on a whim.

Qin Lin threw a piece of watermelon over. The black dog immediately pounced forward and pressed the watermelon with its claws. Then, it subconsciously looked around and only lowered its head to eat when it saw that nothing was wrong.

After waiting for a while and realizing that there was nothing wrong with the black dog, Qin Lin picked up a piece and tasted it himself.

After taking a bite, Qin Lin's eyes lit up.

He understood more clearly what the watermelon note meant.

It was extremely fragrant, delicious, juicy, and very sweet. Furthermore, it was very refreshing.

This watermelon was definitely much more delicious than the ones he bought daily.

Was this caused by the addition of deliciousness, sweetness, and texture?

He was in this line of work, so he naturally knew that it was already good if a few watermelons of this quality appeared. It was the same for every watermelon in the game.

After finishing the watermelon, Qin Lin picked up the second piece with relish and began to eat it.

Actually, the profits from selling watermelons were not high. Although one catty had risen to two yuan, after deducting the cost of fruit farming, labor, transportation fees, and wholesale price… A wholesale catty at a small fruit and vegetable shop like his was already 1.5 yuan. There was basically not much profit.

But what if there was no cost to this watermelon? How much would it be pure profit?

When Qin Lin thought of the watermelons on the farm, his eyes lit up.

One watermelon was 10 catties, and 2 yuan per catty, which was 20 yuan. 10 watermelons were 200 yuan net profit.

As long as he sold 20 melons a day, he would earn 12,000 yuan a month. This was much more than he earned from selling fruits and vegetables for a month.

There should be hundreds of watermelons in the game, but the land in the key game could plant watermelons repeatedly. The watermelons could mature in more than ten hours.

"Woof, woof!"

As Qin Lin was thinking, a dog barked in his ear. It was the black dog squatting at the door of the shop, staring at the melon in his hand.

This dog was clearly pushing his luck?

Fortunately, he was in a good mood. He threw another watermelon to it and pulled down the shop's shutter.

This way, the people outside could not see the situation in the shop.

He took the basket used to store goods in the shop again and entered the ranch with a thought.

What greeted his eyes was still the ground filled with watermelons. Qin Lin did not stand on ceremony and picked up the watermelons one by one and placed them in the basket.

He filled the basket with 15 watermelons in a row before returning to the shop with the basket.

Looking at the basket full of watermelons, Qin Lin's face was filled with excitement.

He was going to be rich.

When he looked at the screen in his mind again, the number of watermelons on the ground in the game screen had already reached 0. The watermelon vines had also withered. The system notification said that he could remove them and replant them.

In the game, crops could only be picked once. It was not like in reality where it could grow again.

Qin Lin looked at the notification and thought of something. He immediately controlled the game character in his mind and picked the other boxes.

In an instant, the picking was completed.

Qin Lin entered the game again. There were no more watermelons on the ground, only the lonely watermelon vine.

He walked to the storage room beside the house and opened the door to see hundreds of watermelons stored inside.

Wasn't he just going to bring a basket in? He was actually busy just now.

There was a message board in front of the watermelon pile.

Seedless watermelon: 90 (Quality 1).

In other words, there were 90 watermelons in this pile. From the looks of it, they were definitely more than 10 kilograms. Then, this pile was at least 1,700 yuan.

With this in mind, Qin Lin returned to the shop and entered the game with the basket again to fill the watermelon basket.

He also realized that as long as he touched the basket and exited the game with a thought, the basket of watermelons would follow him to the shop outside.

He spent some time moving out all the watermelons and filling a corner of the shop.

Including the basket of watermelons he had brought out in the beginning, there were a total of 105 watermelons.

After that, he looked at his mind again. It had turned into a game scene again. There were only watermelon vines left on a few plots of land, indicating that they could be uprooted and replanted.

He immediately removed the watermelon vines and planted new watermelon seeds.

More than ten hours later, another pile of watermelons was made.

And now, he was going to sell all these watermelons.

Qin Lin opened the shutter door of the shop again. The black dog was lying by the door. It looked up at him and changed to a comfortable posture to lick its claws.

Was this dog still not leaving?

He did not have the time to care about this dog now. He placed the basket of watermelons he had brought out on the fruit stall and looked at the price tag of 2 yuan per catty.

This was his normal selling price, but at this price, his shop could only sell a few watermelons a day.

Looking at the watermelons he had taken out of the game, he changed it to a wholesale price of 1.5 yuan per 500 grams. Anyway, watermelons without capital were easier to sell.

However, the situation was not as he had imagined. The afternoon was almost over. He had only sold a few watermelons in total. It was not that the watermelons were bad, but because these were the only people who patronized his shop and needed to buy watermelons.

Thinking about it, Qin Lin slapped his head and felt that he had found the wrong target. Since the wholesale price was already 1.5 yuan a catty, there was no need to sell them one by one in the shop.

He immediately took out his phone and logged into a WeChat group.

This was the boss group of Youcheng County's fruit and vegetable shop. At first, no one knew who had created this group. They said that it was a simple group to understand the market and not let wholesalers cheat.

Usually, other than a few people who loved to talk, they did not interact much with each other.

Opening the group chat, Qin Lin sent a message: "Second Grandpa's nephew's uncle's son planted a batch of seedless watermelon. The watermelon is sweet and juicy. It's wholesale in the modern era and costs 1.5 yuan per kilogram. It'll be delivered directly to your door. You're welcome to try it."

Chapter 3

Youcheng County usually had two channels to buy watermelons.

One was to go to the fruit wholesale market. It was some distance to the logistics park at the other end of Youcheng County.

The other was to go to the fruit farmers in the nearby villages to buy goods.

Therefore, even if it was the same wholesale price of 1.5 yuan, the watermelon was more delicious. If it was delivered to the door, he was not afraid that no one would want it.

As soon as Qin Lin sent the message, three people appeared in the group.

"So it's Xiao Qin."

"Has Xiao Qin switched to wholesale?"

"Then I'll join in the fun?"

Qin Lin knew the three people who sent the message. They happened to open shops near the market.

Seeing that no one else appeared in the group for the time being, Qin Lin arranged to meet the three of them in the shop.

At this moment.

Qin Lin also realized that a notification had appeared in the game in his mind. It was time to water the seed for the first time.

He immediately controlled the game character to enter the tool room and take out a watering can to fill it with water by the river. Then, he watered the seeds.

A moment later, the three people in the WeChat group arrived on their electric scooters.

There were two middle-aged men, Liu Dasheng and Chen Dahe. One of the women was called Ai Qioni.

As soon as Liu Dasheng entered, he said, "Xiao Qin, where's your watermelon? I want to take a look!"

Qin Lin pointed at the pile of watermelons on the ground and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Chen, Sister Ai, look at these watermelons."

The three of them went up to take a look.

They had been in this industry for a long time, so they could naturally tell if it was good or not.

The lines were clear and deep…

The skin was still green and very fresh.

It could be seen clearly.

These watermelons were clearly good watermelons.

"It looks really good," Liu Dasheng said with a smile.

Chen Dahe and Ai Qioni nodded.

However, there were too many heartless wholesalers and fruit farmers now. He still had to try it.

Qin Lin naturally understood and said to the three of them, "Pick one."

"Xiao Qin, this one then!" Liu Dasheng pointed at a watermelon randomly.

Qin Lin nodded and picked up the watermelon to cut it in half, revealing the fresh meat. It was appetizing at a glance.

Qin Lin cut the two halves of the watermelon into small slices before saying to the three of them, "Brother Liu, Brother Chen, Sister Ai, try it!"

Liu Dasheng and the other two did not stand on ceremony and picked up a piece of watermelon to eat.

"Woof, woof!"

It was the black dog's bark again. It seemed to have seen Qin Lin dividing the watermelons and proceeded to squat at the door of the shop.

It was clinging to him.

When Qin Lin saw this, he casually took another watermelon and threw it to it.

If a dog ate too much watermelon, it would have diarrhea. He would let it experience the viciousness of human hearts. When the time came, it would know that it could not eat this thing and would not stay.

With the attributes of Delicious+1, Sweet+1, and Taste+1, Liu Dasheng and the other two had only taken two bites when their eyes lit up.

"Good watermelon. It tastes much better than what I bought previously."

"Indeed. It's very sweet and juicy."

"Xiao Qin, is it really delivered to the door?"

The three of them looked at Qin Lin. This watermelon looked good and tasted better. With the same wholesale price and delivery, there was really no reason not to buy it.

Qin Lin explained, "Of course. It'll definitely be delivered."

The three of them nodded and immediately decided to take 30 watermelons each to try. The rest would be left for Qin Lin's own shop.

Their shops were not far away. Qin Lin did not accept the deposit and agreed for them to pay after the watermelons were delivered.

The reason he wanted to deliver it to their doors was naturally to keep it a secret. Although his shop was not equipped with surveillance cameras, there were surveillance cameras everywhere on the market.

He had inexplicably been getting watermelons from the shop. It was fine this time, but if there were more, people would definitely notice.

After all, watermelons were coming out every day? If he was noticed, there might be big trouble.

Therefore, he had to find a secret place outside in the future.

After Liu Dasheng and the other two left, Qin Lin glanced at the black dog, who was still eating watermelon outside the door. He did not care about it and closed the shutter door from outside. Then, he went to the inner area of the parking lot and walked to a farm tricycle truck that was covered in rust. Despite being on sale for 2,000 yuan, nobody wanted to buy it.

However, as long as the tires did not burst, this car could still pull about a ton.

Qin Lin drove the three-wheeled truck to the shop and carried the watermelons into the car from the shop. He closed the door again before getting into the car to deliver the watermelons to Liu Dasheng and the other two.

Liu Dasheng's shop was the closest to his shop. It was on Market Street. After a while, they arrived. The shop was called Dasheng Fruit Shop.

Liu Dasheng was chatting with a man holding a watermelon at the door. When he saw Qin Lin's three-wheeler stop, he pulled the man forward and said, "Xiao Chen, come and see this melon that was just delivered. It's definitely a fresh good melon. Pick one and I'll cut it for you to try."

"Okay, Brother Liu." Xiao Chen nodded and walked to the car to pick up something.

Liu Dasheng also explained to Qin Lin, "President Qin, Xiao Chen is my neighbor from upstairs. He's also my old customer. He likes watermelons and will buy a few at a time. We'll calculate it together later."

"Okay." Qin Lin nodded.

Xiao Chen quickly picked a melon from Qin Lin's car for Liu Dasheng.

"Xiao Qin, this melon is 11 catties." Liu Dasheng cut it open and handed a small piece to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen and Liu Dasheng were old acquaintances. They naturally took it and tasted it.

Soon, Xiao Chen said in surprise, "Brother Liu, this watermelon is very sweet and very juicy. It's much better than the ones you sold previously. What's the price?"

Liu Dasheng smiled and said, "The same price. 2 yuan a catty. How many do you want?"

Chapter 4

"Brother Liu, I'll choose four. Send me there when you have the time," Xiao Chen said and chose four watermelons from Qin Lin's car for Liu Dasheng to weigh.

In the end, the four watermelons weighed more than 10 catties, a total of 47 catties.

Liu Dasheng said, "47 catties, 94 yuan. Xiao Chen, make a mark and I'll send it to you when I'm free."

"There's no need for the mark. I trust Brother Liu. I'll transfer the money to WeChat." Xiao Chen waved her hand and took her phone to transfer the money to Liu Dasheng.

After Xiao Chen left, Liu Dasheng called out to Qin Lin. "Xiao Qin, looks like your relative's watermelon is really good. Xiao Chen is usually very picky about watermelons."

Qin Lin was naturally happy too. He took a basket from Liu Dasheng's shop and began to move the melons.

Liu Dasheng had sold four melons, which was equivalent to helping him earn more than 70 yuan.

In addition to the previous five, Qin Lin had packed 25 in the basket for Liu Dasheng to weigh. In the end, it was a total of 287 catties. Coupled with the 47 catties Xiao Chen had bought, it was 334 catties. With the wholesale price of 1.5 yuan, it was 501 yuan.

Liu Dasheng also quickly sent Qin Lin a WeChat message.

Qin Lin also opened an invoice to Liu Dasheng. This was related to the taxes of individual operators.

"Brother Liu, look for me if you need anything. I'll go deliver watermelons to the other two." Qin Lin was full of smiles. This sum alone was more than the profits he had earned from his fruit and vegetable shop in a day.

Next, Qin Lin sent 30 watermelons to Chen Dahe and Ai Qioni.

Chen Dahe's was a total of 360 catties, and the total was 540 yuan. Ai Qioni's was 328 catties, and the total price was 492 yuan.

In addition to Liu Dasheng's 501 yuan and 90 melons, he had earned a total of 1,533 yuan.

When he returned to his shop, Qin Lin realized that the black dog was still at the entrance of his shop. It was lying down comfortably and did not have any diarrhea.

This should not be.

When the sun completely set, Qin Lin sold another four watermelons in his shop. Coupled with the few he had sold previously, he had also earned 172 yuan.

This way, the watermelon he took out of the game earned 1,705 yuan.

Qin Lin could not help but clench his fists and want to cheer. Just by earning 1,705 yuan a day like this, it would be 51,150 yuan a month. It was definitely a high income in a small place like Youcheng County.

As he thought about this, a notification appeared in the game in Qin Lin's mind. He had to weed the newly grown grass immediately. Otherwise, the watermelon seedlings that grew might wither because of the weeds.

After weeding, Qin Lin looked at the time. It was already completely dark. He got up and picked some leftover vegetables to bring home. Then, he pulled down the shutter door and rode the three-wheeler home to the parking lot.

Under normal circumstances, he would need to drive this small van to replenish the stock and replenish the store early every morning. However, he only planned to use this car to pull the watermelon tomorrow.

With an income of 1,700 yuan a day, there was no need to worry about the profits sold by the fruit and vegetable shop every day. Even the hundreds of thousands of yuan owed by his family could be repaid quickly.

Qin Lin rode back to an older district. After their family sold their house, they rented a two-bedroom apartment in this cheap district.

He walked into a house and went to the third floor. When he returned to the rented suite, he saw his mother, Lin Fen, making dinner.

Although the apartment had two rooms, it was very narrow and small. It belonged to two separate rooms. Coupled with some daily miscellaneous items, it looked even narrower and darker.

With the situation at home and hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, there was nothing they could do.

Qin Lin entered and said, "Mom, I already said to wait for me to cook."

"I can't do much with my body, but it's not like I can't move. Come and eat quickly!" Lin Fen was in poor health and did not look good, but she still had a hint of stubbornness when she spoke.

After working for a lifetime, it would be even more uncomfortable if she did nothing.

"Sigh." Qin Lin helplessly placed the vegetables he had brought back into the fridge.

Lin Fen handed a bowl of rice to Qin Lin and asked, "How's business today?"

"Yes, it's better than yesterday. It'll be better in the future." Qin Lin thought of today's encounter and said with inexplicable confidence.

When Lin Fen heard her son's usual answer, she sighed and said, "Xiao Lin, Dad and Mom have let you down. Which one of your peers don't have their parents to help them prepare the betrothal gifts and the down payment for the house? Your father and I only left you hundreds of thousands of debts."

"Mom, what are you talking about? You and Dad raised me and provided for me to go to school. This is already the greatest favor." Qin Lin had never blamed his parents. After all, he was healthy and had been taken care of by his parents since he was young. He was already better than many people.

The more her son said this, the more Lin Fen felt that she was useless. She could only continue to sigh and say, "Xiao Lin, how have you and Mo Qing been recently? Don't blame her parents. Mo Qing is a good girl, and her parents have done their best. They don't want the betrothal gift or the car. They only want a small house in advance. Our family can't afford it. This is our own problem."

"Stay with Mo Qing for now. When I'm feeling better, I can look after the shop. You can find a job again. We'll work hard together as mother and son. We have to pay for a house. If you and Mo Qing don't get together in the end, don't be devastated!"

When Qin Lin heard this, he stopped eating.

Mo Qing was indeed very good. The two of them were in the same class in high school. For three years, other than meeting each other in school, they had never greeted each other. However, because they entered the same university and bought the same train seat, they officially knew each other and slowly got together.

Fate was just that strange.

He indeed had no right to blame Mo Qing's parents. In today's society, which parent was willing to let their daughter marry a person who had no car, no house, and debt of hundreds of thousands?

He was unwilling too.

Furthermore, her parents no longer wanted betrothal gifts or cars. They only wanted a small house that was enough for the two of them to stay in. They were already more tolerant than countless Chinese parents.

If they still could not do it, it would be their family's problem. Besides, they did not know what was good for them.

"Mom, don't worry. There will be a house. Mo Qing is also your daughter-in-law. She can't run away." Qin Lin quickly finished the rice in his bowl and returned to his room. He opened a cabinet with a marriage certificate inside.

The man was Qin Lin, and the woman was Zhao Moqing.

He did not tell his mother that Mo Qing was her daughter-in-law not just on a whim. However, all of this was hidden from their parents.

When his girlfriend stole his household register and wanted to register with him, saying that she had decided on him in this life, the warmth in his heart could really melt the entire Antarctic glacier.

He knew how much courage Mo Qing had taken and knew that he could not let her down in this life.

He also knew that it was unfair to Mo Qing to register with him under such circumstances, and it was even more of a lie to the Zhao family. However, he was even more afraid of losing the most precious thing in his life.

As he was thinking, the game in Qin Lin's mind moved. He immediately placed the marriage certificate carefully and locked the drawer again. Then, he looked at the game in his mind.

The watermelons in those fields had already grown vines. The watermelons would ripen tomorrow morning. However, pests had also appeared on the watermelon vines. They had to be cleaned up, or it would affect the watermelon's growth speed and production.

With a thought, Qin Lin controlled his game character to take out a small net to clean up the pests.

Chapter 5

After cleaning up the pests on the watermelon vines, Qin Lin looked at the other fields of the ranch.

Currently, 6 plots of land could plant 105 watermelons. There were more than 6 plots of land on the entire ranch. If new lands were developed, more watermelons could be planted.

In this game, there were a total of 100 fields on the ranch. However, these fields had weeds, stones, wood, wooden stakes, and so on. They could not be planted.

Furthermore, because of the level restriction of the game characters, some places were not open and appeared gray.

The setting was that as long as the game characters continued to plant, they could level up and open up new lands. The players only needed to clean up the weeds, and stones… Those things could be developed with a hoe.

Most importantly, as the character level increased, they could also upgrade the land, plant higher-level crops, and even open new functions.

Seeing that there was still land that could be developed, Qin Lin began to control the game character to get tools from the tool room. He went to the ground that could be developed to handle weeds, wood, and stones. Then, he opened six slots and planted the watermelon seeds.

The six watermelons in this new land should be ripe by noon tomorrow. There were more than 100 watermelons.

However, Qin Lin did not continue to develop the new land. Instead, he took out his phone and searched for the warehouse rental information on the housing agency.

He was a cautious person. In the city, no matter where he entered the game to get watermelons, there was a possibility that he would be noticed if there were too many of them. Even if he found a hidden place in the wilderness, he was afraid that someone would see him entering and leaving the game. That would be troublesome.

Therefore, he had to find a warehouse. It had to be remote with nobody around.

He would lock the warehouse and hide in it to take out the watermelon without anyone knowing.

There was a lot of rental information on the intermediary network. After searching for a long time, he really found a suitable one.

The place was in the suburbs of Youcheng County. There was originally a pig farm that had built a warehouse for collecting pig grass. There was also a separate road that no one went to usually.

However, raising pigs was risky. The pig farm had closed down because of a pig plague. Now, that warehouse had actually been rented. The rent was not expensive. It was 2,000 yuan a month, and the area was very big. It did not even require a deposit. Unfortunately, it was in a remote location, and no one rented it for a long time.

Qin Lin felt that this place was suitable for him.

…

The next day.

Qin Lin woke up early in the morning and looked at the game screen in his mind.

In the beginning, there were already ripe watermelons lying on the ground. He directly controlled the game characters to pick them and placed the watermelons in the storage room. Then, he removed the withered vines and planted watermelon seeds again.

Vines grew on the newly opened six squares and watermelon buds grew. However, weeds and pests also grew on the six squares.

He immediately controlled his game character to clean up the weeds and pests. Then, he ate breakfast and went out to contact the owner of the rental warehouse to arrange to meet at the warehouse.

The warehouse was more than ten minutes away from the county city. It was very remote and not many people came to such a place.

The warehouse was well preserved and there was an empty space for parking. It would not be a problem even if the big truck turned around.

This was originally used to transport pig grass to park at the pig farm.

The owner was a middle-aged fat man. After Qin Lin confirmed the information, he rented it for three months.

With the 6,000 yuan rent gone, his bank balance was immediately emptied, but he could earn the money back immediately.

After signing the contract, Qin Lin added her on WeChat. If he wanted to renew the lease, he could just transfer the money on WeChat.

After that, the owner did not stay long. He seemed to have received a call to play cards and left with his contract.

Qin Lin opened the warehouse and walked in. It was empty like a wilderness, filled with cobwebs and dust.

However, he did not have many requirements for the environment. After cleaning up a little, he took a few baskets from the three-wheeled truck and entered the warehouse. Then, he locked the warehouse door from the inside.

With that, he entered the game with the basket and placed the watermelon in the game storage room into the basket.

With a thought, he appeared in the warehouse with a basket of watermelons.

After moving out the watermelons a few times, there were a total of 106 of them. They were all big watermelons that weighed more than ten catties, but they were all of Grade 1.

After moving the watermelons into the car, he took a video of the car full of watermelons and sent it to the boss of the fruit and vegetable shop. Then, he sent a message:

"Seedless watermelon with high sugar content and juicy taste. The wholesale price is 1.5 yuan per catty. It's delivered to your door!"

As soon as the news was released, Liu Dasheng appeared. "Xiao Qin, you went to buy watermelons so early? Your watermelons are really easy to sell. Anyone who has tried them will buy them. I sold more than ten last night. Give me 20 more."

"Xiao Qin, give me 10 more." Chen Dahe also appeared.

"Add 20 on my side too," Ai Qioni said.

"Okay, I'll send it to the three of you later," Qin Lin replied immediately.

It was normal for the watermelons produced by the game to be easy to sell. After all, his watermelon tasted the best among ordinary watermelons.

A few fruit shop owners appeared in the WeChat group.

"Boss Qin, do you deliver your watermelons wholesale?"

"Boss Qin, these watermelons look good. Send me a batch too."

"I'll try 30 too."

"..."

Because Liu Dasheng and the other two were there to support him, when they saw the three of them getting the goods from Qin Lin consecutively, these people did not ask to see the goods and directly asked him to deliver them.

After all, they did not buy many. Even if there was something fishy, they would not lose anything. If there was nothing fishy, it would save time and effort.

When Qin Lin saw this message, he also replied, "I'll send watermelons to Brother Liu and the others first. If you need them, you can send an address privately. I'll deliver them later."

Then, he put down his phone and pulled the watermelon back to the county city.

When he returned to the market, he sent the melons to Liu Dasheng, Chen Dahe, and Ai Qioni.

Liu Dasheng had 20 melons, 230 catties, and 345 yuan.

Chen Dahe had 10 melons, 115 catties, and 172.5 yuan.

Ai Qioni had 20 melons, 245 catties, and 367.5 yuan.

This added up to 885 yuan.

After Qin Lin sent the melons to Liu Dasheng and the others, he took out his phone and WeChat. He had already received six private messages. They were all intended to buy goods, but there were not many of them. They were all small businesses.

After some calculations, four people wanted 10 watermelons, and 2 people wanted 20.

Qin Lin still had 55 watermelons in his car. He planned to send 20 watermelons to the 2 places and 10 watermelons to one place first. Then, he explained to the other three people that he would send them at noon.

These three fruit shops were a little far from the market. One was beside the school, and two were on South Street. There were 55 watermelons, a total of 632 catties, and another 948 yuan.

The batch of ripe watermelons in the morning earned a total of 1,833 yuan.

The key was that he could harvest another batch at noon.

At the thought of this, Qin Lin was in a good mood. He drove the empty car back to his vegetable shop and opened the curtains, only to hear a dog barking.

It was the black dog from yesterday who ran out of an alley opposite. Its target seemed to be his shop.

Qin Lin immediately glared at the black dog and scolded it.

Was it f*cking going to cling to him?

Not only did the black dog not run after being scolded by him, but it even grinned and ran faster with its tongue out. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the door of his shop. It even ignored him and lay down, licking its claws.

What the f*ck…

Qin Lin simply ignored the black dog and sat back at the cashier. He looked at the game on the screen in his mind and watered the watermelon he had planted previously.

At noon, Qin Lin received a notification in his mind. The newly opened watermelon was also ripe. He immediately controlled his game character to pick it. Then, he removed the watermelon vine and planted new watermelon seeds.

After that, he looked at the time and did not plan to go home for dinner. He called his mother and rode a farm tricycle out of the city.

When he arrived at the warehouse, he locked the door again and entered the game to take out all the new ripe watermelons.

There were 110 watermelons in this batch, but they were all Grade 1.

He pulled the watermelons back to the county city and sent them to the other three shops he had booked in the morning. Although there were only 10 watermelons in each shop, there were 30 in total. There were a total of 321 catties, and he had earned 481.5 yuan.

Since he entered the game yesterday, he had received a total of 4,017.5 yuan.

This money seemed to fall from the sky.

When he returned to his fruit and vegetable shop, Qin Lin's stomach was growling. In a good mood, he ordered a takeaway for himself, the kind with two chicken eggs and two drumsticks. It was a luxury.

Soon, the takeout arrived and he ate heartily.

The eggs were so fragrant, and the drumsticks were so fragrant.

"Woof, woof!"

As he was eating, he heard barking sounds.

The black dog squatted at the entrance of the shop and looked straight at his takeout. When it saw him looking, it immediately stuck out its tongue in anticipation.

It looked so charming.

Qin Lin's face darkened. Was this dog really going to rely on him? It was actually asking him for food?

He firmly ignored it and continued eating.

"Woof!" The black dog's barking became weaker as if it was disappointed. It even shrugged its head, looking like a child who had not gotten candy.

"…" When Qin Lin saw this, he looked at the chicken drumstick in his hand that was still a little meaty. He could not put it in his mouth. He gritted his teeth and threw it at the black dog.

Men always lost because their hearts were too soft.

However, the black dog seemed to be prepared. It instantly stood up and bit the drumstick happily.

"What a f*cking change in attitude!" Qin Lin suspected that he had been tricked by a dog. He thought about it and quickly started eating.

After eating his fill, he posted a video of the remaining 80 watermelons in the shop owner's group chat.

Then, he looked at the screen in his mind and began to control the game character to pick up the tools to open up new land. Only by planting more watermelons could he sell them for more money.

There were still 12 plots of land that could be developed.

He first used the sickle to clean the weeds on those lands, then used the ax to clean the wood. Finally, he used the hammer to deal with the stones. This way, he could use the hoe to develop these 12 plots.

At this moment, he received a WeChat message on his phone. "Boss Qin, my name is Liu Ersheng. My brother is Liu Dasheng. He said that the melons you have here are not bad. Can you send me 50?"

Qin Lin's eyes lit up.

A big client.

When he saw that the caller ID was beside First Middle School in Youcheng County, he understood. Everyone knew where the most profitable place was in the small shop in Youcheng County. It was naturally beside the school, especially beside First Middle School, Junior High School, and Senior High School.

In this season, ice watermelons, transparent plastic cups, and a few toothpicks were the most popular among students. Some of them had to bring a portion into school.

Furthermore, if he sold it like this, he would earn more money than usual.

Qin Lin replied to the other party and moved 30 melons from the car into his shop. Then, he sent the remaining 50 melons to Liu Ersheng.

There were a total of 575 catties of melons and 862 yuan in his account.

After returning to his fruit and vegetable shop, Qin Lin immediately looked at the game screen in his mind. He took out his hoe and developed all the 12 plots of land he had cleaned previously.

In just a day, his income was almost 5,000 yuan. Making a fortune depended on this game.

Chapter 6

After developing all 12 plots, Qin Lin controlled the game character to take out the seeds and start planting.

However, after planting three plots, he suddenly received a notification. "Not enough seeds!"

Qin Lin patted his head. He had forgotten about this.

Seeds were needed to plant crops in the game.

The seeds were not unlimited. After using them up, he needed to go to the seed store in the game to buy them. However, he had already used all the money in the game to buy seedless watermelon seeds.

According to the normal game rhythm, he had to sell the watermelons in the game for money and buy new seeds to plant.

He had been accumulating funds to develop the ranch.

If he planted watermelons in the game and sold them in reality, there would be no way to recoup his losses in the game. Unless he sold the newly harvested watermelons in the game, he would have the money to buy new seeds.

However, he thought of something. Could he bring the seeds in reality to plant in the game?

Qin Lin closed the fruit and vegetable shop and went to the crop seed sales point in Youcheng County. As soon as he entered, the woman sitting at the counter said enthusiastically, "Brother, take a look. What seeds do you want to buy?"

"Do you have seedless watermelon seeds?" Qin Lin asked as he looked at the seeds in the shop.

Although the initial land in the game could grow many fruits and vegetables, the trading of seedless watermelons had just begun. Naturally, he continued to plant seedless watermelons.

"Yes." The auntie smiled and introduced, "However, they're only ordinary seedless watermelons for 80 yuan. How much do you want?"

"I'll buy two catties first." Qin Lin was not sure if this kind of seed could be planted in the game, so he did not buy too much. After returning to the fruit and vegetable shop, he locked the door again and entered the game. He placed the seed in the seed storage box.

After he was done, he retreated from the game.

Looking at the game screen in his mind, there was already a bag of watermelon seeds lying in the toolbox.

[Seed of the seedless watermelon: Quality Grade 1]

[This is a seedless watermelon seed. After planting it, you can harvest seedless watermelons!]

It was a simple note.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to plant in the newly opened 12 plots.

A moment later, when he saw the notification that 12 plots of land had been planted, he could not help but smile.

The seeds outside could be planted in the game.

This solved one of the current problems.

He wondered if the watermelon planted outside would taste the same as the one planted in the game.

For the entire afternoon, someone in the WeChat group took away the remaining 30 watermelons wholesale.

Qin Lin had also sold all the fruits and vegetables he had bought yesterday at a low price and did not plan to buy more. He was now a full-time watermelon seller.

When the sun went down and he closed the shop, his mother had already prepared dinner.

After dinner, he looked at the screen in his mind immediately.

The watermelons in the previous 12 plots had grown bugs. There were also weeds in the new 12 plots behind. They all needed to be cleaned.

After cleaning up the bugs and removing the weeds, Qin Lin received a message on WeChat.

Mo Qing, my wife: "It's already over. I'll go back tomorrow afternoon. Pick me up from work then. Also, I want to eat watermelon."

When he saw Zhao Moqing's WeChat, Qin Lin replied immediately, "Okay, my dear wife."

Like him, Mo Qing returned to Youcheng County after graduating from university. However, unlike him, Mo Qing had an uncle who worked in the Youcheng County Tax Bureau, so she became a civil servant and entered the Tax Bureau.

Over the past few days, it seemed like a town enterprise with considerable assets had been discovered to have a problem. It was said that a few leaders of the company had been filmed and posted on a certain platform while eating and bragging at a farmhouse. Then, their luck dwindled.

The higher-ups brought a group of tax inspectors. Mo Qing was in this group, probably doing the miscellaneous work of reviewing and calculating.

Qin Lin and Mo Qing chatted on WeChat until late at night.

…

The next day.

Qin Lin got up and looked at the screen in his mind. The 24-checked watermelons on it had already ripened.

He looked at the watermelon planted with real seeds. It was green and not much different from the ones planted with game seeds.

Qin Lin controlled his game character and plucked one of the watermelons planted with real seeds and placed it in the storage room. Then, with a thought, he entered the game.

He went straight to the storage room. There were already 16 watermelons in the box he had picked earlier. They were still very big, more than 10 kilograms.

He picked one up and saw the note:

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 1]

[Remarks: Although it's not a special type of watermelon, it's produced by the game. It's the best among ordinary watermelons.]

The notification was the same as before.

Qin Lin was still a little worried. He returned to the room with the watermelon in his hand and went straight to the kitchen to cut the watermelon into pieces. Then, he picked up a piece and tasted it. He would only be relieved if it was really delicious.

This way, he could take the seeds in with the real seeds and sell the watermelons. He did not have to worry about the taste changing.

"Xiao Lin, why are you eating watermelon so early in the morning? It's bad for your stomach." His mother, Lin Fen, could not help but nag when she entered the kitchen.

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "Mom, I'm just trying this watermelon. I'll sell it in the future."

Lin Fen did not say anything else. Instead, she picked up a piece of watermelon and planned to help her son advise. After taking a bite, she said in surprise, "Xiao Lin, this watermelon tastes very good. It's rare for the watermelons our shop sells to have this taste. If every watermelon has the same taste, it'll definitely be easy to sell."

Having opened a fruit and vegetable shop her entire life, Lin Fen knew if this watermelon was good after tasting it.

Qin Lin also looked at the screen in his mind. He controlled the game character to pick all the watermelons in 24 squares and place them in the storage room. Then, he controlled the game character to remove the watermelon vines and plant new seeds.

This way, another batch of watermelons would ripen in the evening.

Then, Qin Lin and his mother had breakfast before leaving. They rode to the rented warehouse.

When he arrived at the warehouse, he locked the door and entered the game with a thought. He walked toward the storage room and saw a sign the moment he entered. The information on it was:

Seedless watermelon: 418 (Quality 1)

This was the reward for the 24 slots.

What surprised Qin Lin was that there were three separate watermelons placed together behind this pile of watermelons. There was also a brand message:

Seedless watermelon: 3 (Quality 2)

A higher-quality watermelon had actually appeared? The outer stripes of this watermelon were clearly deeper, and its appearance was more rounded.

He immediately picked one up and a message appeared in front of him:

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 2]

[Remark: A high-quality watermelon produced by the game. Be it the taste, taste, or fragrance… It's far better than a watermelon of quality 1. It can make you unable to control your taste buds. Delicious +2, Sweet +2, Taste +2, Aftertaste +2!]

Quality 2: The taste and sweetness of the watermelon became +2. There was also an additional aftertaste +2.

However, this remark seemed a little exaggerated.

A watermelon could make one fascinated? It could make people unable to control their taste buds?

It was not a delicacy.

Qin Lin was still very curious about how much better these 2-quality watermelons and 1-quality watermelons tasted. However, he had to get down to business first. He first moved all 418 watermelons out of the game and took a video to the WeChat group: Fresh seedless watermelons that had just arrived. They're being sold wholesale for 1.5 yuan per catty.

Not long after the message was sent, Qin Lin was still moving watermelons into the car when his WeChat rang. It was Liu Dasheng's fruit and vegetable shop owners who had sent the message immediately.

Even if it was watermelon with a quality of 1, it would still taste better than ordinary watermelons. In this season of eating watermelons, there was no need to worry about selling them. Customers who had bought them would still be returning customers. Therefore, the boss who had ordered watermelons previously had predicted again that there would be more watermelons than before.

Other than that, there were also a few new fruit shop owners who had sent him WeChat orders. There were 20 and 30 of them. The fruit shop was located in East City and Shuixi Street.

After two days of wholesale, the others in the group naturally moved when they heard the news.

Qin Lin calculated carefully. The number of watermelons these bosses had wholesale today had actually reached 395. This was almost done with his batch of watermelons.

After calculating, he loaded watermelons into the car and pulled them back to the county city.

At noon, he pulled a cart of watermelons to the market and delivered them to Liu Dasheng and the other two.

"Xiao Qin, you're here?" When Liu Dasheng saw Qin Lin, he smiled and came out to welcome him. "Your watermelons are very easy to sell. I'll order 10 more today."

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for taking care of my business." Qin Lin smiled and began to move the melons for Liu Dasheng. After the transaction, he sent the melons to Chen Dahe and Ai Qioni. At noon, he pulled the remaining 23 watermelons back to his shop.

After calculating the accounts, this batch of 395 watermelons weighed 4,424 catties in total and he had earned 6,636 yuan. In that case, when the batch of watermelons matured in the evening, he would have earned more than 10,000 yuan a day.

In a single day, he could earn the money he had worked hard to sell fruits and vegetables for a month.

Chapter 7

Qin Lin brought out the three Quality 2 watermelons alone.

Now, he wanted to see if this watermelon with Quality 2 could really make people unable to control their taste buds.

He carried a watermelon to the front and picked up a knife to cut it in half. He placed one half in the fridge and cut the other half into pieces.

When he put down the knife, Qin Lin was shocked to find the black dog squatting beside him. It was stretching its head to look at the watermelon he had cut.

"Damn it, you come and go as you please. You really don't treat yourself as an outsider." Qin Lin was speechless when he saw the black dog.

However, he was about to make more than ten thousand yuan a day. He was in a good mood. He picked up a watermelon for himself and threw a piece to the black dog. This fellow was lucky.

Qin Lin took a bite of the watermelon in his hand and his eyes instantly lit up.

This Quality 2 melon was surprisingly delicious. It was sweet in the mouth. Furthermore, the juice flowed horizontally. It did not have the greasy feeling of sugar and sweetness at all. The taste was also extremely crispy. Coupled with the juice, it was perfect.

Most importantly, after eating it in one bite, there was a fragrance that could be recalled.

Was this its aftertaste +2 attribute?

It was as if he had eaten watermelon and tasted a delicacy.

This was definitely much better than Quality 1.

He did not know anything else, but he had once eaten an imported special watermelon bought by a rich second-generation roommate at university. The watermelon tasted very good, but it felt lousy compared to this.

Mo Qing must like this melon.

Qin Lin immediately finished the watermelon in his hand and was about to pick up the other piece when he realized that the black dog had already finished its piece. It seemed to be too delicious. This time, it was so anxious that it wanted to reach out to the watermelon on the table.

Seeing Qin Lin look over, it whimpered and squatted back timidly, looking at Qin Lin anxiously.

Qin Lin frowned. This black dog actually dared to pounce on the table. This was something only a pet dog could do.

Did this dog not know its identity or was it out of its mind?

Qin Lin ignored this thick-skinned black dog and picked up another watermelon to eat. This watermelon was really fragrant.

As soon as he finished eating the watermelon, there was a movement by his feet. The black dog was actually rubbing its head against his leg and looking at him fawningly.

"Damn…" Qin Lin was simply speechless. Was this dog crazy? It was still acting cute to him?

Looking at its appearance, he felt embarrassed that he did not give it any watermelon. He could only throw it another piece of watermelon. He did not forget to warn the black dog seriously, "This is the last piece, no more!"

This was even more delicious than imported special watermelons. How many people had not even eaten imported special watermelons after giving two slices to a dog? It could be said that 99% of the people in Youcheng County had not eaten them before, let alone this better Quality 2 watermelon.

Qin Lin finished two slices of watermelon in no time. After eating another piece, the black dog obediently lay down at the door of his shop and revealed its stomach happily.

Qin Lin had nothing to do now. He closed the door again and entered the game, planning to explore the game world.

This Ranches Story did not only have ranches. The map was still very large. There was a small town outside and a harbor. It was backed by mountains…

Qin Lin entered the game and walked toward the exit of the ranch. He planned to go out to take a look, but when he reached the door, he realized that there was an invisible air wall blocking it. He could not leave at all.

This seemed to be some kind of restriction.

He could only stroll around the ranch. There were no obstacles in the entire range of the ranch. The fields were filled with weeds, waiting to be repaired. The empty space for the factory to be built, and the river crossing the ranch…

After spending some time understanding the approximate range and place of the entire ranch, Qin Lin exited the game.

…

When the sun began to set, the market became lively. It was time to prepare dinner.

Qin Lin looked at the game scene in his mind again. The 24 boxes of watermelons had already ripened. He immediately controlled the game character to pick the watermelons and place them in the storage room. At the same time, he cleaned the withered watermelon vines and added watermelon seeds again. This way, another batch would ripen in the morning.

However, if he really earned 10,000 yuan a day, he would have to think of a new market for watermelons.

With the demand from the fruit shops in the WeChat group, it was already not bad if he could satisfy a batch of more than 400 watermelons per day.

This was the limit of their shop's location. The fixed customer range of such a private shop was only about five kilometers.

Even the range of customers on the market was limited. As there was no big enough parking lot here, most people would choose to go to the business square in the East City. There was the largest supermarket in the county city with a big enough parking lot.

As he was thinking, he received a message on WeChat.

Mo Qing, my wife: "I'm already back at the station. Remember to pick me up from work."

When he saw this, Qin Lin replied with a smile. Then, he decisively closed the shop and went home. He took a good shower at home before leaving again. He went downstairs and rode his small electric car.

…

The tax bureau of Youcheng County was located along the river in East City. When Qin Lin arrived in his electric car, it was almost five o'clock. The tax bureau workers had already gotten off work. After all, it was a nine-to-five job.

Soon, he saw Zhao Moqing walking out. She had a delicate face and only had light makeup on. However, her bright peach blossom eyes added a lot to her beauty.

Zhao Moqing was not a devastatingly beautiful woman, but she was the kind of woman many people chased after on the streets.

The key was that as long as the two of them liked each other, the other party would be the best and most beautiful.

Qin Lin was about to greet her when he saw a handsome young man with greasy hair chasing her out of the building. "Mo Qing, it's on the way. I'll send you back."

As the young man spoke, he did not forget to press the car key in his hand. An Audi flashed its lights, showing his strength.

He naturally wanted to chase Zhao Moqing.

Although he was also an ordinary civil servant, he had created better capital for himself than his peers who had just graduated a year or two with the help of his parents, sister, and brother-in-law. He had spent 5,000 yuan to buy an Audi.

"Chen Hao, there's no need. My husband is here to pick me up." Zhao Moqing was clearly a little awkward being chased by another man in front of Qin Lin. In order not to let Qin Lin misunderstand, she walked to Qin Lin and got onto his electric car.

"Let's go!" Mo Qing said.

Qin Lin nodded and started the small electric car to leave.

Chen Hao looked at the departing electric car and subconsciously looked at the car key in his hand. He was a little puzzled. Where did he lose out?

More importantly, why did she have a husband?

All the good cabbage crops had been ruined by the pigs.

…

The small electric car drove onto the street. Accompanied by the wind, it was as if it had driven 80 miles per hour.

Mo Qing hugged Qin Lin's waist tightly and leaned against his back affectionately. "I said I want to eat watermelon. Have you prepared it?"

"Yes, I'll give you a surprise." Qin Lin nodded and tacitly did not mention what had happened earlier.

This was the most basic trust. Otherwise, if he was angry that his wife was chased by someone, he might as well find an ugly or single person.

When they returned to the shop, Zhao Moqing asked expectantly, "Where's the surprise?"

Qin Lin immediately took out the other half of the Quality 2 watermelon in the fridge and cut it. He handed a piece to Mo Qing. "Try it."

Zhao Moqing took the watermelon and took a small bite. She felt a rich fragrance spread out, and then an indescribable sweetness invaded her taste buds.

"Qin Lin, why are these watermelons so delicious?" Zhao Moqing could not help but be surprised. She had never eaten such delicious watermelons in her life.

"I know you like watermelons, so I prepared them for you," Qin Lin said as he picked up a piece for himself and ate it. He realized that after it was frozen, the watermelon was even more delicious.

If only this Quality 2 melon could be mass-produced, then it would not be a problem to sell it at the price of imported special melons.

"Give me another piece." Zhao Moqing had transformed into a little foodie. Originally, in order to control her diet, she would not eat too much even if she liked watermelon. Now, she could not care less and ate a few pieces in succession.

Chapter 8

It was a good idea to mass-produce watermelons with Quality 2 and sell them at the price of imported special watermelons, but there were only a few watermelons with Quality 2 at the moment. He had even eaten one.

Therefore, he had to take care of the business in front of him first. At least he had to repay the debt at home first and pay the down payment for a house so that his mother could live better. Then, he could bring Mo Qing home to live together openly.

At the thought of this, Qin Lin walked behind Zhao Moqing and hugged her waist. His hands became naughty. "Moqing, why don't you not go back tonight?"

How could Zhao Moqing not understand? She said coquettishly, "If I don't return tonight, my mother will definitely know that I'm with you? When the time comes, she'll nag again."

Qin Lin sighed. "Then what should we do? It's been too difficult holding it in these past few days."

"Hmph!" Zhao Moqing grabbed the dishonest hand on her and snorted. "I'll call home later and say that my colleagues are eating outside. I'll be back later tonight?"

"Good idea. I'll book a room." Qin Lin skillfully took out his phone and went online to book a big bed in the bathtub of the East City Hotel.

The bathtub was not big, and the bed was not booked.

They had clearly registered their marriage, but they still acted like they were in an underground relationship. Was it easy?

After booking a room, he took out his wallet and looked at the two small umbrellas left inside. They were still enough.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not with him. I know. I won't let him take advantage of me!" Zhao Moqing promised over the phone before hanging up. Then, she held Qin Lin's arm and said, "Look, my mother is guarding against you like she's guarding against a thief… Why don't we lay our cards on the table with our family? I want to stay with you every day."

"Give me some time." Qin Lin hurriedly stopped Zhao Moqing's impulsive thoughts.

Neither of them would feel good if they revealed their cards.

His mother would be happy and guilty. Zhao Moqing's parents would definitely be upset and frustrated. Even if they pinched their noses in the end and acknowledged it, the relationship between the two families would be stiff and there would always be a knot in their hearts.

The average room in Youcheng County now was 12,000 yuan per square meter. A 100-story house with all kinds of procedures was about 1.3 million yuan. The down payment was about 400,000 yuan. Coupled with the renovation, it should cost more than 600,000 yuan.

In the past, he really did not have the confidence to do so. But now, if he expanded his business and guaranteed that he could sell 24 boxes of ripe watermelons every day, he would be able to earn this money in two months.

If the character's level increased and he could open more places, the time taken would be even shorter.

When the time came, he could pick Mo Qing up openly and give her a big surprise. He could also explain to Mo Qing's parents. Wouldn't it be better for the two families to settle the matter happily?

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go." Zhao Moqing nodded with a smile.

She had never doubted Qin Lin. Even if the man she chose could only take the path of a showdown, in the end, she was still willing to choose him.

East City Hotel was the largest hotel in Youcheng County. It was by the river and had a beautiful night view.

However, who would be thinking about the night view when a man and a woman came to a hotel to get a room?

After registering at the front desk and getting the room card, Qin Lin held Zhao Moqing's hand and entered the elevator to go upstairs. As soon as they entered the room and the door was locked, he could not wait to remove the defense on Mo Qing. Then, he held her hand and went straight to the large bathtub.

…

Qin Lin then held Zhao Moqing's hand in satisfaction and left the hotel. They went to the night market to eat something before sending her home.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Moqing, Qin Lin returned home and looked at the game in his mind.

When they were messing around in the hotel, he had received a notification that weeds and insects had appeared in the game. At that time, he could not care less.

The next day, he got up.

The watermelon in 24 square meters was ripe again.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to pluck it and placed it in the storage room. Then, he removed the withered watermelon vines and planted seeds again. This way, another batch would mature in the evening.

In the storage room, including the batch that had matured yesterday evening, there were already two batches of watermelons.

He locked the door.

He entered the game.

When he arrived at the storage room, he saw a mountain of watermelons.

Seedless watermelon: 836 (Quality 1)

Seedless watermelon: 7 (Quality 2)

There were a total of 843 watermelons in the two batches. Furthermore, seven Quality 2 watermelons were separated.

After exiting the game, Qin Lin casually ate a bowl of porridge and went to the warehouse. He spent some time moving all 843 watermelons out of the game and then took another video to send to the WeChat group.

A moment later, Liu Dasheng and the other bosses appeared one after another. However, they were all people who had been wholesale previously, and there were no new orders.

Other than selling fruits, this group of people sold vegetables, seafood, and so on. Their sales potential was only so high.

After some calculations, there were more people booked today. There were 411 people.

Qin Lin quickly loaded the watermelons into the car and spent three hours pulling them in batches. He sent them over one by one. In the end, there was a total of 4,521 catties and 6,781 yuan in income.

However, when he returned to the warehouse, there were still 422 watermelons left. A batch would mature in the afternoon, and there would be more than 400 watermelons. He had to find a new channel.

Furthermore, he had a goal. It was the big RT-Mart in the Eastern Commercial Square.

The Eastern Commercial Square was the center of traffic in Youcheng County. It had the largest parking lot. There were all kinds of shops in the entire square's commercial building. There were bars, KTVs, cinemas… All kinds of entertainment.

The big RT-Mart was in the best position on the first floor. It was very big and had a complete classification area. It had the largest customer flow in Youcheng County.

The sales of the watermelons in Liu Dasheng's fruit and vegetable shops might not even be as much as in the watermelon area of the RT-Mart.

Qin Lin quickly carried two watermelons into his small electric car and rode to the RT-Mart.

What he needed to do now was to get his watermelon into the supermarket.

He had also asked around and found out that other than special bidding channels, the purchase of the RT-Mart would also often be wholesale of some goods at a 'promising' price.

Of course, there was a way.

When he arrived at the office of the supermarket, Qin Lin stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the security guard's hand and asked about the purchasing manager's office.

After putting a pack of cigarettes into his pocket, the security guard enthusiastically helped Qin Lin move a watermelon to Manager Chen's office.

The security guard had seen many people like this coming to the procurement department. There was only one goal. Manager Chen had also instructed that such a person would directly pick him up from his office.

Manager Chen was a fat and greasy man with a big belly. After knowing Qin Lin's intentions, he pretended to look at the two watermelons he had brought carefully. "The outer appearance of the watermelons is not bad. They're good watermelons."

"Manager Chen, do you think this watermelon can enter the supermarket?" Qin Lin asked.

Manager Chen immediately looked troubled and said, "Xiao Qin, you also know that there are many fruit channels who come looking for me every day. I've already worked with others. I have to be honest in business."

"…" Qin Lin knew that the meat show was coming. If he was really honest, he would not have told him so much. He immediately said, "Manager Chen, supermarkets also want to make a profit, right? The wholesale price outside is 1.5 yuan per catty. I can give in a little. 1.3 yuan per catty."

Manager Chen still looked troubled. "Xiao Qin, you know that my position is very difficult!"

Qin Lin knew very well and immediately smiled. "Manager Chen, then I'll give in a little more. 1.2 yuan a catty. You have to let me earn some?"

He knew that he was the only one who could make this deal. After all, he was doing it for free.

Manager Chen smiled. "Xiao Qin, since you're so sincere, our supermarket will take your watermelons. However, your invoice wholesale price will be 1.4 yuan per catty."

"Don't worry, Manager Chen. I understand." Qin Lin smiled, but his heart was filled with complaints.

He had long known about this. 1.4 yuan a catty was one cent cheaper than normal wholesale. He had already instructed the supermarket. As for the 20 cents a catty, it had fallen into Manager Chen's pocket.

Although one catty was only 20 cents, what if there were 5,000 catties a day? That would be 1,000 yuan, which was 30,000 yuan a month.

This was only a watermelon. Think about it. There were so many kinds of fruits in the entire supermarket. If there were more, how much profit could Manager Chen earn in a month?

Seriously…

Chapter 9

However, how much profit Manager Chen could get in a month was none of his business. This kind of thing could be seen everywhere in society.

For the other party to be able to sit in such a position, he must have a background in the big hair salon. Otherwise, why would he dare to eat and take profits in such a national chain corporation?

His goal was just to sell watermelons. It was fine as long as his goal was achieved.

Furthermore, this was also beneficial to him. Usually, such orders were settled separately. He would open an invoice and settle the order without being suppressed.

"Xiao Qin, how much melon do you have?" Manager Chen was clearly most concerned about this question.

Qin Lin explained, "Manager Chen, there are 800 in the first batch. Each one is more than 10 kilograms. I'll send 800 first when I go back later and 400 more in the evening. As for the future, there won't be less than 800 every day."

Manager Chen did some mental calculations and was quite satisfied. He said with a smile, "Okay, send me an invoice every day after you deliver the goods. I'll get the finance department to settle it for you."

"Thank you, Manager Chen." Qin Lin left after discussing with Manager Chen.

Manager Chen was in a good mood when he saw the two watermelons Qin Lin had left behind. He got someone to cut them open and give them to the employees outside.

Qin Lin returned to the warehouse and pulled the remaining 422 watermelons to the supermarket to sign.

There was a total of 4,557 kilograms.

In the evening, the watermelons in the game ripened again. There were 411 watermelons of Quality 1 and 3 watermelons of Quality 2.

Qin Lin planted the new seeds and moved all 411 watermelons from the game to the warehouse outside. He sent them to the RT-Mart in two batches. This time, there were 4,471 catties. Coupled with the 4,557 catties from the previous batch, there was a total of 9,028 catties.

After delivering the goods, Qin Lin took the list and receipt to Manager Chen to settle the bill. The money was quickly transferred.

"Your last number… income is 10,899.60 yuan. Your balance is 31,344.60 yuan."

Over the past four days, relying on the watermelons planted in the game, he had more than 30,000 yuan on his bank card.

Furthermore, he could earn 10,000 yuan every day.

When the game character leveled up, he could develop more plots of land and earn more money that day.

Qin Lin was in a good mood. He simply entered the supermarket to shop and buy some things home.

However, when he passed by the melon area and saw the watermelons sold, he could not remain calm.

"Special quality watermelon, 3 yuan a catty!"

Beside him was an ordinary watermelon that cost two yuan a catty, but he recognized it at a glance. Wasn't this so-called special-quality watermelon that cost three yuan a catty the ones he had harvested?

Manager Chen must have known that each of his watermelons was better than ordinary watermelons, so he dared to sell them at this price.

Corrupted!

How f*cking corrupted!

The profit at this price was especially equivalent to his profit.

It was really an era where channels were king. Since he had the ability to sell it at this price, he could not be jealous. He might as well not look at the price and go to other districts.

When he returned home, he received a notification in his mind that worms and weeds had invaded his crops again. He immediately controlled the game character to remove the weeds and insects.

The next day.

Qin Lin woke up early in the morning. The watermelons had ripened again. The shop owners had sent him a message early in the morning to wholesale the watermelons.

They were clearly used to looking for him to wholesale watermelons.

He went to the warehouse and moved the ripe watermelon out of the game.

This time, there was no Quality 2 watermelon. There were a total of 428 Quality 1 watermelons.

He took a video and sent it to the WeChat group. Seeing that there were no new orders, he calculated. These shops were similar to yesterday. There were a total of 408 wholesale shops. After delivering 4,732 catties, he would earn a total of 7,099 yuan.

In the evening, the watermelon ripened again and was sent to the RT-Mart. It was a total of 4,970 catties and 5,964 yuan.

He had received a total of 13,063 yuan today. His balance had reached 46,409 yuan.

After sending the watermelons to the RT-Mart, Qin Lin rushed to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. His original shop only had relevant documents for self-employment. Now that he was grading watermelons, he felt that he needed to apply for a wholesale fruit license. Otherwise, if something went wrong, it would be troublesome.

However, when he arrived at the Industry and Commerce Bureau, he filled in the information for a long time. In the end, he was told that he did not need to apply for a wholesale license.

Qin Lin then realized that he was ignorant.

It turned out that Article 35 of the Food-related regulations stipulated that the types of fruits were single. If one did not reach the basic size, the fruit farmers could directly distribute them without a wholesale license.

Qin Lin left the Industry and Commerce Bureau and had just returned home when he received an unexpected notification in his mind.

[Character level increased. You can develop new land! Level 2 land upgrade authority is open. You can upgrade six plots of land!]

Qin Lin's eyes lit up as he immediately looked at the game screen in his mind.

Indeed, six more plots of land lit up, indicating that it could be developed.

Furthermore, a symbol that could upgrade the number of lands appeared on the screen, followed by the suffix o/6.

In other words, not only could he open six more slots of new land, but he could also upgrade six slots of basic land to Level 2.

Qin Lin did not hesitate at all. He immediately controlled the game character to pick up a sickle, an ax,… and other tools to clean the weeds, stones, and wooden blocks in these six squares. Then, he used a hoe to develop the six squares and planted watermelon seeds immediately.

He did not plan to sell these six plots of new melon in reality because upgrading to level 2 land required game gold.

Furthermore, after upgrading to Level 2, he could totally plant other more expensive things.

Watermelons with six squares were ripe twice a day. One square could be upgraded in two days.

This way, he could complete the upgrade of Level 6 level 2 land in 12 days.

Over the next two days, the previous 24 slots made Qin Lin earn 26,123 yuan again. His bank card balance reached 72,532 yuan.

The newly opened six boxes of watermelons were all sold in the game. One box of level 2 land was developed.

After upgrading a level 2 land, Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to leave the ranch and go to the Ore Town Seed Shop outside the ranch to check.

The seed shop had dense seed categories. What was available in reality and even what was not available in reality was here.

The requirements for the land level were marked behind each seed. It would only be opened if the seed was planted. If the requirements were not met, it would be gray and not open for the time being.

Qin Lin immediately searched among the many level-2 seeds, including vegetables, fruits, and various plants.

He directly chose to plant fruits to check. Many fruits were far more expensive than watermelons.

However, most of the seedlings were planted for other reasons. The restrictions on him were very big and not secretive enough. He directly ignored them.

In the end, he found a level-2 fruit seed that was very suitable for his current situation.

That was red strawberries.

Qin Lin checked online. At this stage, it was no longer the red strawberry season. In other words, red strawberries were already considered out of season fruits at this time. The price of ordinary red strawberries on the market had reached 15 to 25 yuan per catty.

If it was a special variety like cream strawberries, it would cost at least 50 yuan per catty. However, fruits could be planted in Level 2 lands without these special varieties of strawberries.

Seeing the price of ordinary red strawberries, Qin Lin immediately went to the seed sales point in Youcheng County.

It was still that big sister. She still remembered Qin Lin. "Brother, what seed do you want this time?"

Qin Lin said, "Sister, are there any red strawberry seeds?"

The sales lady immediately introduced to him enthusiastically, "Yes, yes. Red strawberry seeds are 45 yuan for 2 catties!"

Qin Lin bought strawberry seeds again and paid to return home. He entered the game immediately and placed the strawberry seeds in the seed storage box.

When he returned to reality, Qin Lin looked at the game screen. There were indeed strawberry seeds in the seed storage box.

Qin Lin immediately planted the strawberry seeds in the Grade 2 land.

At night.

After watering the plants and pests, he fell asleep with anticipation.

When he woke up the next morning, he looked at the game screen in his mind. Other than the green watermelon, there was a red and green strawberry that was especially eye-catching.

Qin Lin entered the game immediately and came to the place where the strawberries were planted. From the outside, the game screen was only a small box. In the game, the entire patch of red and green made him feel refreshed.

In the past, when he was dating Zhao Moqing, he often went to the strawberry plantation to pick strawberries himself. Of course, it was not to save a lot of money. Couples just liked that kind of atmosphere.

Qin Lin plucked a few strawberries. They were plump and bright red. They were definitely appetizing.

At the same time, he saw the message:

[Red Strawberry: Quality 1]

[Remarks: Although it's not a special type, it's a game product. It tastes great. It's the best among red strawberries. Delicious +1, sweet +1, taste +1.]

Similarly, the strawberries produced by this game had the same delicious, sweet, and taste of +1.

Although the note said that, Qin Lin was an experienced person. He still wanted to experience it personally. He placed a strawberry in his mouth and ate it.

The juice immediately overflowed in her mouth. It was soft, juicy, and fragrant.

One word: Delicious!

Two words: Very delicious!

If ordinary strawberries were sold for 15 to 25 yuan, the strawberries produced by his game could definitely exceed 25 yuan or even higher.

When he returned outside, Qin Lin controlled the game character to click pick and put all the ripe watermelons and red strawberries into the store.

This time, other than watermelons, he had also harvested 50 catties of red strawberries. However, he directly chose to sell these red strawberries in the game. He would upgrade the other five level 2 lands that could be upgraded first.

Because he had begun to plant strawberries to sell in the game, the time it took to upgrade all six plots of land to Level 2 had decreased a lot. It was completed in seven days.

Over the past seven days, Qin Lin's watermelon wholesale had earned another 94,211 yuan. The balance on his card had even reached 166,743 yuan.

He had earned more than 160,000 yuan in 13 days. This was something he had not dared to imagine in the past.

Now that the level 2 land had been upgraded, his income would increase by a lot.

Chapter 10

Early in the morning, Qin Lin woke up and looked at the game in his mind.

The 24-grain watermelon and 6-grain red strawberries were already ripe.

He controlled his game character to pick them and placed all the watermelons and red strawberries into the storage room. Then, he brushed off the withered watermelon vines and strawberry vines and replanted the watermelon seeds and strawberry seeds.

He was going to promote red strawberries today.

The red strawberries produced by the game had attributes. He was not afraid that they would not sell. Furthermore, in order to make it easier for him to sell them to the RT-Mart, he had to consider the wholesale price.

Although the wholesale price of ordinary red strawberries in Youcheng County was about 15 yuan, the price of the strawberries produced by his game should not be limited to that.

Therefore, he went online to check the overall wholesale price of red strawberries.

There were also many types of red strawberries. Due to the region, the wholesale price was very varied. He directly skipped ordinary red strawberries. He especially looked at some large wholesale strawberries that were worth more than ordinary strawberries.

Among them, the wholesale price of cream red strawberries had reached 30 yuan per 500 grams. The Great Liang Mountain Red Strawberries were also 36 yuan per 500 grams. The Sweet Red Strawberries were 29 yuan per 500 grams…

These were all special strawberries that were one level higher than ordinary red strawberries.

He had eaten most of these strawberries before. The quality of the game was definitely better than these strawberries. It was not a problem to set a wholesale price of 30 yuan per 500 grams.

When he thought of how the RT-Mart sold his watermelons as special quality watermelons, he realized that these were also considered special quality red strawberries.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Qin Lin entered the game again and arrived at the storage room.

There were a total of 423 watermelons in this batch. Beside them were five Quality 2 watermelons.

As for the strawberries, he had harvested 300 catties. Beside them were two catties of Quality 2 strawberries.

Qin Lin grabbed a few and saw the notes.

[Red Strawberry: Quality 2]

[Remarks: A high-quality red strawberry produced by the game. Be it the texture, taste, or fragrance… It's far better than a Quality 1 red strawberry. It's definitely a good item to tempt the taste buds.

Delicious +2, sweet +2, taste +2, aftertaste +2]

When he saw the notes, Qin Lin immediately threw one into his mouth.

He could not help but close his eyes and enjoy it.

The sweetness entered his taste buds and left a lingering aftertaste. He could not help but throw another strawberry into his mouth.

Like the Quality 2 watermelon, these attributes turned the Quality 2 strawberry into a delicacy.

In university, that rich second-generation roommate had also bought a catty of imported milk strawberry worth 200 yuan. He felt that the taste was also trash compared to this.

Qin Lin began to move this batch of watermelons and then sent the watermelons Liu Dasheng and the other bosses had wholesale today. There was a total of 4,098 catties and 6,147 yuan in income.

After that, he brought two catties of Quality 1 red strawberries to the RT-Mart to discuss the red strawberries with Manager Chen.

One catty of red strawberries was 30 catties wholesale price. Then, just by collecting 300 catties in the morning, this batch could earn 9,000 yuan. That was more than 24 boxes of watermelons.

"President Qin, you're here. Coincidentally, I have something to tell you!" Manager Chen was clearly very polite when he saw Qin Lin.

Over the past ten days, he had already earned more than 10,000 yuan from Qin Lin. Xiao Qin had also become President Qin. Furthermore, he had something to discuss with Qin Lin this time, so he was naturally more polite.

Manager Chen even took the initiative to pull Qin Lin to the tea table at the side. As he made tea, he even poured a cup for Qin Lin.

Many people in the south would consciously discuss business at the tea table. Even many small shops by the street would prepare a tea table. It seemed more reliable.

Qin Lin asked with a smile, "Manager Chen, what is it?"

Manager Chen smiled and went straight to the point. "President Qin, we've worked together for more than ten days. To be honest, your watermelon is really good. It's easy to sell."

"I have enough of the watermelons you provided, but we also have a big RT-Mart in Sand City. They want to eat your watermelons too. They'll accept any amount."

Qin Lin understood when he heard this.

This was probably a slight change in supply and demand.

How easy to sell were the watermelons developed by the game? It could even be more expensive than ordinary melons, right?

His melon had allowed Manager Chen to reap benefits. More importantly, it could make the profits of RT-Mart greater. It meant that Manager Chen had contributed. It was probably also Manager Chen who was in charge in Sand City.

Unfortunately, there were only so many yields in the game now. He could only provide those watermelons every day.

"Manager Chen, I'm really sorry. I can only provide so many watermelons a day. I can't do anything else. However, I have a type of strawberry that can be sold wholesale. It's no less than 500 pounds a day. Manager Chen, you can try it first," Qin Lin said apologetically before taking the opportunity to promote his strawberries. As he spoke, he handed the strawberries he had brought to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen subconsciously looked at the strawberries and habitually picked one up to taste. When he took a bite, his eyes revealed surprise.

As the purchasing manager of a branch in Youcheng County, be it the red strawberries assigned by the higher-ups or the ones he bought himself, he had eaten a lot of red strawberries, but none of them could compare to this.

Even the batch of strawberries from Gao Shan Special District that cost 55 yuan per 500 grams previously did not taste as good as this.

After eating one, Manager Chen immediately picked up the second and third…

After eating more than ten in one go, he was certain that these were definitely not ordinary strawberries. They were definitely not lacking in sales like the watermelon. He immediately asked the question he was most concerned about. "President Qin, how much is the wholesale price of these red strawberries?"

Qin Lin explained, "Manager Chen, this is a special quality strawberry. It's 30 yuan per catty."

"It's only 30 yuan…" When Manager Chen heard the price, he immediately said, "President Qin, I want all the strawberries you have, but you have to add 2 yuan to the invoice price."

He had even thought about reporting the wholesale price of Qin Lin's batch of 30 yuan per 500 grams to 32 yuan and selling it for 40 yuan or higher. It would also create profits for the supermarket and have a lot of credit.

"Manager Chen, I know. The wholesale price is 32 yuan when others ask." Qin Lin agreed with a smile. Anyway, he had already reached the price he wanted.

Manager Chen's smile widened. He got Qin Lin another cup of tea and picked it up to toast. "President Qin, happy working with you."

"Happy cooperation!" Qin Lin also picked up his teacup and clinked it with the other party. After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and said, "Manager Chen, I'll send a batch of strawberries over first. I'll send another batch of strawberries over in the evening when I send the watermelon."

Manager Chen nodded and said, "Okay, President Qin, look for me anytime."

After negotiating the sale of the strawberries, Qin Lin left the supermarket in a good mood and went to buy a few special baskets containing strawberries.

Strawberries were different from watermelons. He had to be careful when moving them.

After that, he went to the warehouse and took out all 300 catties of strawberries.

If this batch of strawberries matured to more than 300 catties in the evening, then the strawberries coming out of these six plots of land could be sold for 18,000 yuan.

This added to the income of the watermelon every day and was not far from earning a million yuan a month.

Chapter 11

After Qin Lin sent the red strawberries to the supermarket, it rained.

When the rain subsided slightly, it was already noon when he returned to the market.

When he returned to the entrance of the shop, the black dog was hiding outside his shop to avoid the rain. It was drenched and curled up to lick the water stains on its body.

This black dog was getting more and more shameless.

He had not chased it away for more than ten days and it was about to settle down here.

"Woof!" When the black dog saw Qin Lin, it suddenly stood up and grinned at him.

Qin Lin pretended to ignore the black dog and opened the shop door to enter. After being busy for a long time, his stomach growled. He decisively took out his phone and ordered takeout.

With two big drumsticks and two fried eggs, he was now qualified to be extravagant.

Just as he was about to settle the bill, he suddenly looked at the black dog, who was tiptoeing in and out of the shop. It seemed to be sensitive and noticed his gaze. It tiptoed into the shop and squatted down, staring at him.

Qin Lin operated his phone silently and added a big drumstick before settling the bill.

This black dog hanging around him every day really made him feel strange.

Humans were probably such complicated animals.

It was just like how when a woman met a bootlicker, although she hated it, she would treat it as bragging rights after being used to it. Once this bootlicker stopped licking, she would even worry about personal gains and losses.

Not long after.

The delivery man arrived.

Qin Lin took the takeout and placed it on the table to open it. The black dog, who had been squatting, suddenly stood up and stared at the takeout on the table.

When Qin Lin saw this, he decided to tease the dog. He deliberately took the drumstick and took a bite in front of the black dog, looking intoxicated.

The black dog stuck out its tongue and hooked its head forward even more as if it was waiting for him to throw the chicken bone.

Qin Lin really found it interesting. He picked up a big drumstick and threw it to the black dog.

The black dog opened its mouth and bit the drumstick with an unbelievable reaction speed.

It was waiting for a bone, but when it saw a piece of meat, its eyes widened in shock.

Qin Lin ignored the black dog. As he ate, his attention was placed on the game screen in his mind.

There were worms again. Also, he needed to water them.

After settling the game problem and finishing the takeout, he was about to clean up when he realized that there was a movement by his feet. The black dog was gently rubbing his calf as if it was trying to be friendly.

Seeing Qin Lin look over, it shrunk its head and squatted back at the door.

…

In the evening.

The watermelons and red strawberries in the game had ripened again. There were 421 watermelons in this batch and 301 catties of red strawberries. They were all moved out of the game and sent to the big hair salon in batches for weighing. Then, he found Manager Chen to settle the bill for today.

421 watermelons were worth 7,893 yuan, 606 catties of strawberries were worth 18,180 yuan, and with the 6,341 yuan from the watermelons wholesale to Liu Dasheng and the others in the morning, today's daily income was: 32,414 yuan.

When he got out of the RT-Mart, the bank message had already arrived:

"Your last number… income is 26,073.00 yuan. The balance is 199,157.60 yuan."

His savings were about to exceed 200,000 yuan.

Qin Lin could not help but look at the message a few more times before putting away his phone. Then, he drove the electric car back to the market and parked it. He then rode it to the tax bureau to pick Zhao Moqing up.

Coincidentally, Qin Lin's car had just stopped at the entrance when he saw Chen Hao walk out.

Their eyes met. Chen Hao frowned slightly and looked at Qin Lin's small electric car. He could not help but pick up the car key and unlock it, making his Audi ring. The car lights flashed.

He was clearly trying to show off.

Weren't men so vulgar? They only showed off their careers, houses, cars, and women.

Of course, there were also men who were not so vulgar. Either they would not do such low-class things anymore after they had really succeeded or there was really nothing to show off.

Chen Hao clearly did not match either of these. Therefore, he was vulgar. In his heart, he drove an Audi while the other party rode a small electric car. He inexplicably felt superior.

At this moment.

A fat young man came out and greeted Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, why didn't you wait for Zhao Moqing? Didn't you want to treat her to a meal to confess? With your qualities, you should be able to woo her, right?"

These sudden words dealt a blow to the superiority on Chen Hao's face. He walked to his car without a word.

Zhao Moqing had f*cking left with an electric car. He was already in a mess in the wind, but he was still rubbing it in?

He really did not understand why he was still single when a person in an electric car could hug such a beautiful girl.

On what basis?

The fat young man was confused by Chen Hao. He walked to a Jetta beside him and drove away.

"Qin Lin!" When Zhao Moqing came out of the door and saw Qin Lin, she ran over with a smile and sat in the backseat skillfully. She hugged his waist and said, "Let's go!"

Qin Lin rode the small electric car into the road and asked, "Should I send you back or should we eat outside?"

Zhao Moqing thought about it and said, "Let's buy vegetables and go to your house? I haven't seen Auntie in a long time."

"Okay, I'll call back later. My mother will be very happy to know that you're coming," Qin Lin said as he rode the small electric car to the supermarket to shop.

Qin Lin did not like to shop, but he liked to hold Zhao Moqing's hand and shop with her.

After shopping, the two of them were already holding bags of vegetables and seafood.

When they returned home, Lin Fen saw that Zhao Moqing was here. She could not hide the smile on her face. "Moqing, you're here. Come in quickly!"

Lin Fen was 100% satisfied with Zhao Moqing. For her son to find such a gentle, weak, good-tempered, and respectful girl, he had to thank her for eight lifetimes.

It was just that their family's situation was too poor. Otherwise, she would have long held her son's marriage with Zhao Moqing and made her her daughter-in-law.

"Auntie! Qin Lin and I bought a lot of vegetables. I'll wash them first," Zhao Moqing said sweetly. She did not mind the narrow and chaotic environment.

"Okay. Let's wash them together!" Lin Fen took the vegetables from Qin Lin and entered the kitchen with Zhao Moqing with a smile.

Qin Lin seemed to have become an outsider.

Zhao Moqing's culinary skills were actually not bad, so Lin Fen helped out happily at the side. After the dishes were prepared, her appetite was better than usual and she ate a lot.

After the meal, Qin Lin entered the room and brought out a bag. Inside were some Quality 2 red strawberries from today. He had taken out half of the 4 catties.

"Xiao Lin, what are you holding?" Lin Fen asked curiously.

"Red strawberries. I saved them especially for you. Mom, Mo Qing, try them." Qin Lin placed the Quality 2 red strawberries on the table.

When Lin Fen saw this, she immediately placed the strawberries in front of Zhao Moqing and said, "Moqing, strawberries are very nutritious and can even beautify you. Eat more."

"Okay, Auntie." Zhao Moqing liked fruits and did not reject her. She picked one up and tasted it, but soon, she said in surprise, "Qin Lin, why are these strawberries so delicious?"

"This is a special quality strawberry. There's nowhere to buy it outside. You can't buy it even if you want to. It's delicious, right?" Qin Lin was a little proud. Wasn't it? Delicious +2, sweet +2, taste +2, and aftertaste +2.

He was the only one who produced this kind of strawberry from his game.

"Yes!" Zhao Moqing quickly nodded. "The strawberries I ate in the past can't compare to this at all. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious strawberries."

"Isn't it just red strawberries? Is it that delicious?" Lin Fen was a little puzzled when she heard Zhao Moqing's words.

After working as a fruit and vegetable vendor for a lifetime, she knew a lot about red strawberries. The taste was similar.

However, when she picked up a strawberry and tasted it, she also revealed an incredulous expression.

The taste of this strawberry was really beyond her expectations. After eating it, it actually left a lingering taste in her mouth. It was unforgettable.

She could not believe that she was eating strawberries.

Not to mention Zhao Moqing, who had worked as a vegetable for her entire life. She had definitely eaten and tasted a lot of strawberries every year, but the taste of those strawberries was far inferior to the one her son had taken out.

Chapter 12

Qin Lin looked at Zhao Moqing and his mother, who were washing the dishes in the kitchen, and smiled.

When Mo Qing arrived, his mother smiled more and was in a good mood.

Smiling more and maintaining a good mood was good for his mother's health.

His mother clearly wanted to help him marry Mo Qing, but her family situation was helpless.

Therefore, she had to pay for a house as soon as possible and place the marriage certificate in front of her mother before bringing Mo Qing home.

This was probably what he wanted to do the most now. It could be said that he had no ambition.

There was always something more important in life than ambition.

With this in mind, he looked at the game screen. He wished he could raise his game character to the maximum and plant all the red strawberries. He would earn millions a day.

When Qin Lin was about to send Zhao Moqing back, Lin Fen followed him to the district downstairs and kept reminding him, "Xiao Lin, remember to send Moqing home safely. Ride slowly on the way…"

"Mom, I understand!" Qin Lin replied with a smile and drove Zhao Moqing out of the district.

Zhao Moqing lived in Ming Yuan District in the East City.

Qin Lin stopped the car in the district. Just the environment alone felt different from the old district he had rented.

This was one of the best districts in Youcheng County. The house price had already reached 14,000 yuan per square meter. The house was 120 square meters and had been renovated for more than two million yuan.

Many houses in the provincial capital only cost two million yuan. It could be seen how exaggerated the housing prices in this small city were.

Every time he came here, he had to consider a problem. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to buy a house here, he had to scrimp and save first and spend three to five years to repay his family's external debts.

If there was no way to earn money during this period to get rid of the current situation, it would take another five years or even more to gather the down payment.

This was on the premise that house prices would not rise again in the future.

In the past, every time he came here, he would be a little nervous. He was afraid that he would let Zhao Moqing down.

Fortunately, the game in his mind could pull him out of this helpless quagmire.

Zhao Moqing seemed to have sensed Qin Lin's emotions. She did not get out of the car but pressed her face against his back. "Qin Lin, why don't we lay our cards on the table with our family? I want to fight for a future with you."

Qin Lin knew that Zhao Moqing was telling him that she was determined. She had mentioned this topic more than once.

He grabbed Zhao Moqing's hand and promised, "Didn't I say to give me some time? Don't worry, I have a new business recently. I've done some wholesale and earned more than before. I'll be able to bring you home soon."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Yes, I believe you!"

These simple words showed her confidence in Qin Lin.

The two of them cuddled for a while before Qin Lin handed the other two catties of red strawberries of Quality 2 to Mo Qing.

"There's more?" Zhao Moqing was surprised.

The strawberries earlier were too delicious. Lin Fen and her had finished them all.

Qin Lin nodded. "Yes, as long as you like it!"

Zhao Moqing was naturally happy. She kissed Qin Lin heavily before going upstairs reluctantly. When she returned home, she realized that her mother, Chen Xiao, and sister-in-law, Li Jiawen, were watching television in the hall.

"Mo Qing, you're back!" Li Jiawen was the same age as Zhao Moqing. She did makeup and was dressed very fashionably. When she saw her sister-in-law return, she smiled and said, "Moqing, come and try it. I got someone to buy imported strawberries for you. They cost 200 yuan a catty. this kind of strawberry is very rare."

With that, she picked up a strawberry and placed it beside Zhao Moqing's mouth.

Zhao Moqing cooperated and opened her mouth.

Li Jiawen stuffed the strawberry into Zhao Moqing's mouth and asked, "How does it taste? It's not bad, right?"

Zhao Moqing ate this strawberry and looked at her sister-in-law strangely. "Jiawen, this strawberry is 200 yuan a catty? Have you been deceived?"

Li Jiawen asked in confusion, "How is that possible? My good friend from university helped me buy it. Isn't it delicious?"

Zhao Moqing did not speak. She took out a strawberry from the bag in her hand and handed it to Li Jiawen. "Open your mouth!"

When Li Jiawen saw the red strawberry, she also opened her mouth to bite it and was stunned. This was because it was much more delicious than the strawberries she had bought. "Moqing, where did you buy this strawberry? How much does it cost to taste so good? It should be very expensive, right?"

"It shouldn't be expensive!" Zhao Moqing did not ask about the price of the strawberries and said vaguely, "This was given to me by Qin Lin. It must be cheap in his shop. It should be 20 yuan a catty!"

"20 yuan a catty?" When Li Jiawen heard this price, she was depressed. "What? 200 yuan a catty of strawberries isn't as delicious as 20 yuan? Moqing, I think I've really been deceived. I was even deceived by 200 yuan. I can't be her best friend anymore."

As she spoke, her hand had already reached into the bag in Zhao Moqing's hand.

The strawberries she bought did not smell good anymore, but the ones her sister-in-law brought back smelled good.

When Chen Xiao heard Qin Lin's name, he frowned and asked, "How has Qin Lin been recently?"

"Mom, Qin Lin has been doing wholesale recently. He'll get better and better." Zhao Moqing actually did not know what Qin Lin meant by wholesale, but she could only say that Qin Lin was good. Furthermore, she ran to her room after saying that, not wanting them to pester her about this problem.

Li Jiawen said, "Mom, actually, Qin Lin is a good person. He's hardworking and good to Moqing."

Chen Xiao sighed and said, "I know he's not bad, but it's not like you don't know his family. How much hardship will Moqing have to suffer after marrying him?"

Li Jiawen did not answer.

…

The next day, Qin Lin woke up and picked the ripe watermelon and strawberries from the morning. Then, he planted new seeds.

After washing up and eating breakfast, he went to the warehouse immediately and moved the watermelons out of the game. He then sent the watermelons Liu Dasheng and the others had ordered.

"Xiao Qin, let me tell you something!" When Liu Dasheng was done, he asked in embarrassment, "The price of watermelons has already decreased. Can your wholesale price still be 20 cents cheaper?"

Hearing this news, Qin Lin frowned slightly. Had the price of the watermelon begun to drop?

He had expected the price of watermelons to drop. The price of watermelons soared every July and August, and the price of watermelons began to drop at the end of September.

However, had the price of watermelons in Youcheng County's wholesale market dropped so early this year?

After some careful thought, he roughly knew the reason. After all, with his participation, there were more than 800 watermelons and more than 9,000 catties a day. The market in this small county must have suffered a little.

In that case, he had to consider planting other things. Once the price of watermelons decreased, they would become less and less valuable toward the end. In the end, one catty would not be worth a dollar, and there would not be much profit.

Indeed, when the goods were delivered in the evening and the settlement was done, Manager Chen also mentioned lowering the price.

This made him even more determined to stop planting watermelons.

As soon as the news was released, he sent a message to those bosses. The rough content was that "The watermelons planted by the son of Second Grandpa's nephew have been sold out. Everyone can go to the market tomorrow to wholesale the watermelons."

He did not feel guilty about suddenly stopping supplying. He was in business and had not signed a long-term supply contract.

After he was done, he immediately looked at the game screen in his mind and controlled the game character to leave the ranch. He went to the seed shop in the ore town to see if any crops that could be planted on the primary land were more expensive than watermelons.

At the same time, he went online to investigate the price of these crops. Naturally, he had to choose one that was suitable, safe, and expensive.

After searching for a long time, he really found a very suitable one.

That was the okra.

The okra was the most expensive among the primary land crops, similar to the ripe watermelon.

The key was that the okra was a seed crop, not a seedling crop. Like watermelons, it was highly secretive and not troublesome.

Now, the wholesale price of one catty in their southern region had already reached more than six yuan.

His cost was the money to buy the seeds. He did not ask for much. Six yuan a catty was enough.

At the thought of this, he went to the seed shop and bought another bag of okra seeds.

When he returned home, he entered the game and placed the okra seeds in the seed storage box. Then, he exited the game and controlled the game character to shovel the watermelon seeds he had planted previously and plant the okra seeds on the 24 plots.

Chapter 13

When he woke up early in the morning, the strawberries and okra in the game had already ripened. Red and green dotted the ground.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to pluck it and place it in the storage room. Then, with a thought, he entered the game.

In the storage room, the two crops had been sorted.

Strawberries: 302 catties (Quality 1).

Strawberries: 2 catties (Quality 2).

It was not much different from before.

Okra: 1,500 catties (Quality 1).

Okra: 4 catties (Quality 2).

In other words, each plot of land had an average harvest of more than 60 catties of okra. If he sold it wholesale at six pieces, this batch could earn 9,000 yuan.

This was already more than the income of two batches of watermelons.

Qin Lin picked up the Quality 1 and 2 okra again. The Quality 2 okra was clearly darker and bigger.

However, he could still see the note:

[Okra: Quality 1]

[Okra is a special crop. It has the attribute of medicine. Milk modulation +1, smooth filtering +1, kidney filling +1.]

[Okra: Quality 2]

[This is high-quality okra. It has a medicinal attribute and is extremely effective. It can be used to nourish the kidneys and nourish the body. Milk modulation +2, smooth filtering +2, kidney filling +2.]

Qin Lin looked at the notes in surprise.

He knew that okra was very nutritious, but this was the first time he knew the exact effect.

This time, the milk modulation effect should be able to make children eat better and fill them up. It would also make women healthy!

It should be that the smooth filtering was for urination that was like water dripping from a tap. It was effective in curing this.

There was no need to explain the kidney filling. All men should understand that this effect and masculinity were two blessings for men.

As for this Quality 2 okra, its effects actually increased by 2.

When he thought of the +2 attribute effect of the watermelon and strawberry quality previously, the effect of this quality 2 okra should be very strong, right?

Qin Lin went out of the game and washed up before heading to the warehouse.

No matter what, he would send the ripe strawberries to the RT-Mart first and look for Manager Chen to promote the okra.

After sending the 302 pounds of strawberries to the RT-Mart, Qin Lin entered the large supermarket and walked straight to Manager Chen's office.

When he arrived at Manager Chen's office, he saw a young woman wearing revealing clothes walking out. There were faint strawberry marks on her neck. When she brushed past him, there was still a special smell on her body.

Qin Lin smiled ambiguously.

All men knew this smell. He did not expect Manager Chen to be so good at playing.

When Manager Chen saw that Qin Lin was here, he invited him to sit at the tea table. As he made tea, he asked, "President Qin, has there been an answer to the watermelon price reduction so early?"

"Manager Chen, I've stopped producing watermelons. I'm here to talk to you about a new crop today," Qin Lin said with a smile as he placed the small bag of samples he had brought on the tea table.

"Okra!" Manager Chen subconsciously said.

He was familiar with this. He had a tigress wife at home and a little white rabbit mistress outside. He had eaten this often.

Men had to make up for everything when they needed to.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Manager Chen, the new product is the okra."

"President Qin, how much is the wholesale price of your okra? If it's too high, I won't be able to explain to the higher-ups," Manager Chen said with a hint. He naturally wanted Qin Lin to give him a high price so that he could earn money.

He was still very satisfied with his collaboration with Qin Lin. The wholesale price was not high, and he had enough benefits. The items were easy to sell, and the price was higher than ordinary.

Not only did he get some benefits, but the leaders of the supermarket were also satisfied.

Qin Lin understood what he meant and smiled. "Manager Chen, don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you. The wholesale price of my okra is 6 yuan a catty. It's definitely lower than the market. Furthermore, I can provide about 3,000 catties a day."

When Manager Chen heard the price of 6 yuan a catty, he immediately said decisively, "President Qin, I want all the okra in your hand."

Was this a joke? The wholesale price was only six yuan a catty?

The latest news he received was that the wholesale price of the okra in Youcheng County would increase to seven yuan a catty in two days. It would be even higher in Sand City.

Since the other party was willing to set the wholesale price at six yuan, there was no reason for him not to buy it.

Therefore, even if the Youcheng County branch could not consume 3,000 catties, it could still be transported to Sand City. Who asked the person in charge of both sides to be the same? As for whether the purchasing manager in Sand City was happy or not, it was none of his business.

If he was capable, why don't he find such a source too?

Qin Lin also smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll send the okra over to Manager Chen in batches today."

Manager Chen smiled and said, "Then the price of President Qin's development ticket will be 50 cents a catty more. Let me earn some hard money."

Qin Lin wanted to complain when he heard this.

Hard money?

One catty was more than 50 cents. 3,000 catties was 1,500 yuan, okay? With the addition of the strawberries, it was more than 1,200 yuan.

Sitting in the office and playing with women, he had earned more than 2,700 yuan from him in a day. Coupled with what he had earned from others, it was unknown how much he earned in a day.

Was this hard work?

Then who did not want to work hard?

However, Qin Lin left after receiving the answer.

In the evening, the strawberries and okra ripened again. The okra weighed more than 1,500 pounds, and the Quality 2 was 6 pounds.

This way, the Quality 2 okra would be 10 catties.

After Qin Lin finished sending the okra and strawberries for the day, he looked for Manager Chen to settle the bill. The bill arrived quickly. 605 catties of strawberries, 18,150 yuan, 3,000 catties of okra, and 18,000 yuan.

He had earned a total of 36,150 yuan today and was about to break through to 40,000 yuan a day.

The balance of his silver card had also reached 242,237 yuan.

Qin Lin was in a good mood. When he returned home, he thought of the Grade 2 okra.

He went to his room and entered the game to take out two catties of Quality 2 okra. Then, he went to the kitchen and said to Lin Fen, who was cooking, "Mom, cook this okra later."

Lin Fen looked at it and frowned. "Xiao Lin, although you and Moqing are young, you have to control yourself a little. Otherwise, you won't be able to recover from eating this."

Qin Lin was a little awkward. "Mom, I just want to try this okra. I've been doing some wholesale business these past few days. This okra is a product. I have to try it myself."

This was also a form of backing up so that her mother would not be worried when he took out a large sum of money.

"It's good to have a way to do wholesale. You can earn more money." Lin Fen did not probe further. She knew that her son had always had his own opinions and had definitely thought about what he wanted to do.

The key was that she only knew how to watch the shop and bargain with the customers. She could not give business opinions.

Two catties of okra with pickled vegetables were very delicious. Qin Lin had never been disappointed in his mother's cooking.

He did not feel anything after eating the Grade 2 okra, but as time passed, he was surprised. A warm and comfortable feeling began to appear on his waist.

The effect of filling his kidney with +2 seemed to be very obvious.

However, after a night of digestion, Qin Lin was in a difficult position the next morning.

Because a flagpole had been erected for the entire morning.

However, when he got up, his mental state had gone up another level.

This was the feeling of a vigorous person like him. At Manager Chen's age, he was already a little weak. Furthermore, he was raising a little white rabbit outside. The feeling after eating it would definitely be stronger, right?

Chapter 14

Qin Lin stood up and stretched.

This Quality 2 okra was really effective. It could even be used as a pill, but it still had no side effects and could nourish the kidneys.

Then, he looked at the screen in his mind as usual and picked the okra and strawberries to plant new seeds.

After breakfast, Qin Lin went to the warehouse and sent this batch of ripe okra and strawberries to the RT-Mart before returning to the shop to rest.

The shop was already empty. He bought a recliner and lay down, feeling very comfortable.

In the evening, the okra and strawberries ripened again. He went to the warehouse again and took out the okra and strawberries from the game to deliver to the RT-Mart again.

There were 607 catties of strawberries today, 3,050 catties of okra, and 36,510 yuan in income. His balance would also reach 278,747 yuan.

This way, he could break through 300,000 yuan in another day.

However, when Qin Lin took the list to settle with Manager Chen, he happened to meet the young woman from yesterday again. When he brushed past her, she also had a smell that all men knew.

The woman's phone rang, and she picked up the call with a smile. "Hello, Hubby. I'm buying groceries. I'll cook for you when I get back."

"…" Qin Lin only sighed with emotion.

When he entered Manager Chen's office, he saw him holding his waist and spraying air freshener.

There was clearly a torn black stocking in the trash can beside him.

Qin Lin could only sigh again at how good Manager Chen was at playing.

"President Qin, you're here." Manager Chen put down the air cleaner and did not feel awkward. Instead, he enthusiastically led Qin Lin to a seat.

Who did not know how to play when a man was a little rich? Many people even used this as capital to show off at the wine table. Who would look down on men? Anyway, men did not suffer. Those who were looked down on were those women who were played.

"Manager Chen, this is today's list." Qin Lin handed over the list and the receipt.

Manager Chen took the signature and said with a smile, "President Qin, the batch of okra you sent yesterday has already been placed on the shelves. The sales today are also very good. I'll say it again. It'll be sold for 6 yuan per catty. I'll take as much as you have."

"Manager Chen, I can only supply more than 3,000 catties of this okra every day," Qin Lin said. Suddenly, he thought of something. "However, Manager Chen, I still have some specially cultivated okra. It has a very strong effect on passing water and filling the kidneys. Its effect is even stronger than pills. Do you want to try it?"

When he thought of how the other party had covered his waist after playing with the woman, he felt that Manager Chen should be almost at the point of being helpless. He could take back some of the money he had taken from him.

"President Qin, this thing is specially cultivated? Is the effect you're talking about true?" Manager Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Manager Chen, why would I lie to you? It's just that the price is a little expensive. One catty is at least 200 yuan, and it's very difficult to get. I can try to get some."

"200 yuan per catty? So expensive?" This was the first time Manager Chen had heard of such expensive okra, but he had the channels. He believed that Qin Lin would not dare to lie to him. Otherwise, if they stopped working together, the other party would feel even more uncomfortable. Therefore, he said, "President Qin, then help me get some. I'll try it first."

When he thought of what Qin Lin had said, he was a little eager.

Men were always willing to spend some money to make up for these problems.

"Okay, I'll go take a look first. If there's anything, I'll send it to Manager Chen later." Qin Lin agreed and left.

He deliberately waited for some time before going to the warehouse to take out the 9 catties of Quality 2 okra from the game and went to the RT-Mart again.

When he entered Manager Chen's office again, Qin Lin opened the bag in his hand with a smile and revealed the Quality 2 okra inside. "Manager Chen, these are the okras. There are a total of 9 catties so they'll cost 1,800 yuan!"

Manager Chen looked at the okra and realized that they were indeed different from ordinary okra. They were darker in color and bigger.

He just did not know how effective it would be. However, once a man began to feel weak, he had to try.

At this moment, men were extremely concerned about s*x. Otherwise, health supplements that had no effect but were expensive to consume would not be so popular.

Manager Chen paid the bill readily. Qin Lin suddenly felt that it seemed too cheap to ask for 200 yuan per catty?

The night passed.

Qin Lin woke up early in the morning and obtained two kilograms of Quality 2 okra.

After planting the new seeds, he ate some breakfast and sent the batch of ripe okra and strawberries from the morning to the RT-Mart.

Unexpectedly, Manager Chen came looking for him with a big belly. He pulled him to the side sneakily. "President Qin, do you still have that kind of okra from yesterday?"

"?" Qin Lin was stunned. "Manager Chen, I gave you nine kilograms. You finished it?"

Manager Chen immediately said, "President Qin, I'm not done eating yet. However, it's really effective. Shouldn't I prepare more?"

He originally had doubts about the effects of those okra, but after eating last night, his waist did not feel as sore and tired as before when he woke up in the morning.

This meant that the okra was really effective. Furthermore, the effect was shocking.

He had also investigated the wholesale market the entire morning and wanted to know where Qin Lin got his goods. In the end, he found nothing. He could only look for Qin Lin again.

Qin Lin knew the effect of Quality 2 okra, but looking at Manager Chen, it meant that the effect of Quality 2 okra on such a weak man was stronger than he had expected.

Looking at the other party's anxious expression, Qin Lin pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "Manager Chen, you also know that I'm just a middleman. I'm just earning some money. I might not be able to get this kind of special okra, and someone else might have bought it."

This made Manager Chen a little anxious. "President Qin, help me. Wasn't it 200 yuan per catty previously? I can pay 400 yuan per catty. This is much more useful than those health supplements that are thousands of yuan more expensive."

It directly increased to 400 yuan per catty?

Qin Lin was surprised. This old man really cared about sex.

As he spoke, Manager Chen stuffed the Chinese cigarette in his hand into Qin Lin's hand. "President Qin, thank you."

"Okay, then I'll help Manager Chen try." Qin Lin looked at the cigarette in his hand and pretended to be in a difficult position, but he was a little proud in his heart. It seemed like his role with Manager Chen had begun to change.

Now, it was the other party who was begging him.

Seeing that Qin Lin had agreed, Manager Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

After Qin Lin left, he picked up his phone and made a call. He said with a sly smile, "Hello, President Chu. I'm Xiao Chen. I bought a good thing…"

Qin Lin naturally still had Quality 2 okra in his hand. He had harvested another five catties in the morning, but he did not take it out immediately.

If Manager Chen was anxious, he was not.

Who did not understand the principle of rare goods being sold?

400 yuan per catty. The okra was ripe this evening. If he could still harvest 5 catties of Quality 2, then just these 10 catties could be sold for 4,000 yuan. This was taking back all the commission Manager Chen had eaten, and it was much more.

It seemed like high-end products were easier to earn money.

Qin Lin returned to the market in a happy mood. When he arrived at the entrance of the shop, he saw a group of people watching the show. A few people in urban management uniforms were chasing after the black dog with nets.

The black dog kept running. When it was whipped by the city enforcement officers, it let out a shrill and helpless cry at the people around it. It seemed to be looking forward to being saved.

Someone had clearly reported it and was here to catch this black dog.

After all, many of the guests here were housewives who would bring their children along for fear of being hurt by stray dogs. Previously, many stray dogs on the market had already been euthanized.

Stray dogs could easily find food on the market, but they could also easily lose their lives.

There was no choice. There were too many irresponsible owners and too many stray dogs.

A while ago, there was a young female vet who was cursed online for euthanizing 800 stray dogs.

Chapter 15

Anxiety, uneasiness, and fear… The black dog dodged in a sorry state, its eyes filled with helplessness.

Suddenly, it discovered a familiar smell. When it saw Qin Lin return, its eyes seemed to have a hint of color.

It barked at Qin Lin and rushed toward him anxiously.

This also gave the city enforcement officers a chance. They wrapped a net around the black dog's head and pulled the rope, binding its neck tightly.

"Woof!" The black dog's eyes revealed fear as it barked at Qin Lin in panic. There was anticipation and desire in its eyes.

A city enforcement officer came forward with a cage. The few of them worked together to lock the black dog in.

The black dog continued to bark at Qin Lin. It only let out a disappointed whimper when the cage door closed. Its entire body seemed to have lost its strength as it drooped its head and lay down.

It seemed to have given up. Its eyes seemed to have lost their color, but there was a hint of anticipation in the corner of its eyes as it inadvertently stared in Qin Lin's direction.

Qin Lin accurately felt its gaze. That gaze made him sigh helplessly and walk toward the city enforcement officers.

He had been used to seeing this black dog every day recently. Furthermore, it was not like he could not raise a dog now.

The black dog seemed to have noticed Qin Lin's actions and suddenly stood up again. Anticipation returned to its eyes.

Qin Lin walked to the city enforcement officer in the lead. "Captain Liu, this black dog is fated with me. Can you let it go? I'll adopt it."

As he spoke, he secretly stuffed the Chinese cigarette that Manager Chen had given him into the city enforcement car.

"It's Boss Qin!" Captain Liu often came to the market to do things. He probably knew all the shop owners here.

Looking at the Chinese cigarette, he said to Qin Lin calmly, "Boss Qin, since you've said so, we're not heartless. However, if you want to adopt it, you should bring it for a vaccine and a checkup. At the same time, you can get a dog certificate. They're very strict now, so don't make things difficult for us."

Qin Lin nodded and promised, "Don't worry, Captain Liu. I'll bring it to get a vaccine later and get the dog certificate done as soon as possible!"

Captain Liu then nodded at the other city enforcement officers. Actually, he could also see that this dog was a little different, so he treated it as a favor.

When Qin Lin and a city enforcement officer arrived at the cage, the black dog seemed to have realized something. It whined at him and spun anxiously in the cage.

The moment the cage opened, it rushed out as quickly as possible and arrived at Qin Lin's feet. It rubbed its head against his leg crazily.

Qin Lin felt the black dog's emotions and squatted down to pat its head to comfort it.

"Woof!" The black dog's barking became high and excited.

Captain Liu quickly left with his men. When Qin Lin saw that he was free, he planned to bring the black dog for a vaccine and drive away the insects. Adopting a stray dog was the prerequisite, and it had to be done.

There was a pet shop not far from the market. Qin Lin called out to the black dog, and it followed closely.

When he arrived at the pet shop, the boss was a slovenly man with a stubble. He was carefully grooming a pet dog.

This scene was a little funny.

A man who did not care much about his image had cleaned up a dog beautifully.

"We have a guest!" The man saw Qin Lin and greeted him.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Boss, help me check this dog and clean it up. Give it a vaccine and drive away the bugs."

When the man saw the black dog, he was immediately interested. "This is a stray dog, right?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "It has been staying here for a while. I'm going to adopt it!"

The man was a little surprised. "Brother, you're very lucky. The stray dog choosing its master means that it has intelligence, and it also means that you give it a strong sense of security. It also wants a warm home. Obviously, you didn't disappoint it…"

As soon as the man spoke, he seemed to be unable to stop talking. However, his hands did not stop. He pulled the black dog in to check. Then, he took a shower, expelled insects, and shot the vaccine skillfully.

This process took more than an hour. The black dog, who had taken a shower, had completely changed. It was full of energy. Its fur was no longer gray and sticky. It had become lustrous and was quite good-looking.

The boss said in surprise, "Brother, this is a princess. It has already been sterilized. It should have been a pet in the past, but for some reason, it was abandoned."

"The breed is a black wolfhound. It's also the smartest and most loyal dog. Treat it well. It won't let you down."

"It's not easy for a stray dog to choose another master. When you accept it, you'll be the only one in its entire world."

"A woman will leave you and hurt you. It won't. Besides, it's easy to satisfy. As long as you pour your feelings into it, it won't leave you. It won't be as difficult to fill as a woman…"

"…" Qin Lin opened his mouth. In the beginning, he still felt that the boss was talking about a dog. Later on, he felt that the boss was not only talking about a dog, but he was also a man with a story.

As the boss spoke, he sighed silently and said to Qin Lin, "200 yuan for a shower, 50 yuan for an insect repellent, 100 yuan for a vaccine, and 50 yuan for a checkup. A total of 400 yuan!"

When Qin Lin heard this price, he could not help but sigh. It was f*cking expensive.

Perhaps he understood why this boss would use so much effort to tidy up the dog so nicely. It was all money.

The boss asked, "Do you want another dog leash? It's strict now. It's best to bring a dog leash with you when you go out! Also, bring two bags of dog food back."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Then give me another dog leash and two packets of dog food."

The boss took out a dog chain and two packets of dog food from the counter and handed them to Qin Lin. He said, "50 yuan for the dog chains, 300 yuan for the dog food, it's a total of 750 yuan."

Qin Lin now knew why there were so many stray dogs in Youcheng County. He had spent 750 yuan just like that.

The average salary in Youcheng County was only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. It would definitely be a lot of pressure to raise a pet. Therefore, he could not raise a dog on a whim, or it would harm others and himself.

After paying, Qin Lin picked up the dog leash and wanted to put it on for the black dog. Unexpectedly, the black dog took the initiative to lean its head in front of him and was extremely cooperative.

When the boss saw this, he sighed with emotion. "This dog is really smart. With some training, it might even become an internet celebrity. Unfortunately, it chose you as its master."

When the black dog walked out of the pet shop, it was clearly more energetic and valiant because it knew that it had a home again.

Next, Qin Lin led the black dog to the district committee. To get a dog certificate, the district committee had to sign it and keep a record. In addition, he had to get his own ID information. Finally, he had to go to the police station to register his dog.

Since he had decided to adopt the black dog, no matter if it was for himself or the dog, he had to do it.

However, these were also very cumbersome and troublesome. In the evening, the strawberries and okra in the game were ripe again.

He could only continue with the certificate tomorrow. Then, he returned to the shop and picked the strawberries and okra in the game first. He obtained 5 catties of Quality 2 okra.

After planting the new seed, he placed the black dog in the shop and went to the warehouse to move everything out of the game.

After sending this batch to the RT-Mart, there were a total of 610 catties of strawberries and 3,110 catties of okra today.

This time, Manager Chen came down personally again.

"President Qin, are you done?" Manager Chen asked with a smile. He took the initiative to take the list and sign it for him, appearing very enthusiastic.

Qin Lin naturally knew the other party's motive. He smiled and went to the back of the three-wheeler to take out a bag and handed it to Manager Chen. "Manager Chen, there are five catties of specially cultivated okra here. I spent a lot of effort to get some from another person."

He did not take out all the 10 catties of Quality 2 gumbo. The more anxious Manager Chen was, the more he wanted to keep him in suspense.

Manager Chen took the five catties of Quality 2 gumbo with a happy expression. He pulled Qin Lin to the side and whispered, "President Qin, I've troubled you this time. Can you put in more effort in the future? As long as you can help me get some every day, I'll give it to you according to the invoice price."

This meant that he did not want the commission anymore.

It seemed like Manager Chen had invested a lot for s*x.

Therefore, when Qin Lin left, he settled a little more and paid by invoice.

Strawberries were priced at 32 yuan, 610 catties at 19,520 yuan, okra at 6.5 yuan, and 3,110 catties at 20,215 yuan. Coupled with Manager Chen's 5 catties of Quality 2 gumbo at 2,000 yuan, he earned a total of 39,735 yuan a day. His daily income was almost 40,000 yuan.

His bank balance officially exceeded 300,000 yuan, reaching 318,482 yuan.

Chapter 16

When he returned to the market, Qin Lin opened the shutter door. The black dog barked and ran to his feet to welcome him.

"Let's go. I'll bring you home." Qin Lin took two bags of dog food and walked out with the dog leash.

"Woof!" The black dog seemed to understand and was a little excited.

When he arrived at the electric car, he was feeling vexed about how to get the dog to cooperate with him and get into the car when he saw the dog suddenly stand at the electric car's step. Its legs were upright, and its front legs were placed on the front of the car. It did not forget to whine at him as if it was reminding him to hurry up.

Qin Lin had seen a certain short video previously. Some dogs seemed to have become spirits. He thought that the video was man-made, but now, he believed that some dogs had really become spirits.

Riding on the electric scooter, Qin Lin brought this new member of the family home.

"Woof, woof!"

When Qin Lin arrived at his house and opened the door with the key, the black dog barked even more happily.

"Xiao Lin, why did you bring a dog back?" Lin Fen looked at the black dog that had entered and asked curiously.

"Mom, it's a long story…" Qin Lin told her about the black dog. "So, I adopted it now."

When Lin Fen heard Qin Lin's words, she squatted down and touched the black dog's head. The black dog cooperated and reached out its head, even licking Lin Fen's palm.

"How smart!" Lin Fen could not help but praise. She then said to Qin Lin, "Xiao Lin, then raise it well. As the saying goes, pigs bring poverty, and dogs bring Wang Cai. This dog might be for our God of Wang Cai. By the way, what's its name?"

"Name? I don't know yet!" Qin Lin also felt that he had adopted this dog and should give it a name. He said, "Since you're here to give me Wang Cai, then call it Wang Cai!"

"Then let's call it Wang Cai!" Lin Fen smiled and called it, "Wang Cai!"

When the black dog heard Lin Fen call it, it was clearly a little stunned. However, this dog was smart. It seemed to have realized that she was calling it and immediately barked in response.

After dinner, Qin Lin found a pot and poured dog food for Wang Cai. Lin Fen also found a paper box and opened it for Wang Cai to sleep in. The house was small, so this was the only way.

When he returned to his room, Qin Lin saw that the grass in the game had grown again and cleaned it up. Then, he chatted with Zhao Moqing on WeChat and told her about Wang Cai.

…

The next day, Qin Lin woke up and looked at the game in his mind immediately. He put away the ripe strawberries and okra and planted new seeds.

When he opened the door, he saw that Wang Cai was already squatting outside his door. When it saw him, it whimpered and ran over to rub his leg.

"It woke up early in the morning and squatted at your door, but it's very sensible. It didn't even bark." Lin Fen came out with porridge and praised Wang Cai.

Qin Lin smiled and touched Wang Cai's head.

This dog was really good at stirring up trouble.

After eating two bowls of porridge, Qin Lin greeted his mother and prepared to go to the warehouse to retrieve the goods.

"Woof, woof!"

Wang Cai whimpered and ran out the door. It even bit the dog chain and reached out to his hand, as if it was telling him not to leave it behind.

Qin Lin originally wanted to leave the dog at home, but when he saw this, he could only hold the dog leash and bring it out.

He rode the scooter to the market and changed into a three-wheeled truck. He placed Wang Cai in the truck and headed to the warehouse.

As soon as he arrived at the warehouse and locked the door, he entered the game with a thought and disappeared.

"Woof!" Wang Cai looked at the place where he had disappeared and stood up. He ran over suddenly and turned around anxiously and frantically, using his legs to pull at the ground where he had disappeared.

When Qin Lin came out with a basket of strawberries, the dog took two steps back in shock. Seeing that Qin Lin was about to pounce on him excitedly, Qin Lin had already put down the basket and disappeared again.

After two or three times, the dog seemed to be stunned.

After taking out this batch of strawberries and okra from the game and moving them into the car, Qin Lin brought the dog to the RT-Mart to deliver the goods.

Two hours had passed since he finished his work.

…

After lunch, Zhao Moqing came over. Last night, she had talked about the dog on WeChat and specially came over to see Wang Cai.

Qin Lin went forward to welcome her immediately and hugged her to kiss her.

When Wang Cai saw this scene, it seemed to understand something. It felt like it had to show some affection, so it ran to Zhao Moqing's feet and rubbed against her leg.

"Qin Lin, is it Wang Cai?" Zhao Moqing squatted down in surprise and hugged the dog's neck.

Wang Cai whined at Zhao Moqing, acting cute to curry favor.

Zhao Moqing looked at the dog and could not help but take out her phone to take a selfie with it.

Wang Cai actually grinned and leaned forward, as if it was cooperating with Zhao Moqing.

What surprised Zhao Moqing even more was that the dog could cooperate with her in a few poses. This made her smile like a flower. "Qin Lin, Wang Cai is so smart. I like it too much."

Qin Lin looked at this scene in surprise.

Dogs definitely would not know this, unless someone had often asked it to cooperate with photos in the past.

This dog should really be intelligent. It seemed to know how to please the people around him, from his mother to Zhao Moqing.

Zhao Moqing teased Wang Cai for a while and instructed Qin Lin to take good care of it before leaving for work.

Clearly, she had also fallen for this dog in a short time.

Qin Lin lay down on the recliner and controlled the game character to walk around the game map to see if any game missions had been triggered.

However, the mission was not triggered. When the game character returned to the ranch, he suddenly saw a person and a conversation appear in front of him.

Was this the plot?

Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to talk to the other party with his mind. Only then did he know that this person was called Zach, the receiver of the game.

Zach: Because the fruits and vegetables sold by the game characters promote the economy of Ore Town, I hope you will work harder.

Zach also sent a fishing rod and a bag of bait, telling him that he could fish by the river. There were many wild fish markets in the river that was very popular.

In the game, after Zach left, Qin Lin also realized that there was an additional fishing rod and a bag of bait in the game character's toolbox.

This was a new function!

Qin Lin knew where the river was and immediately controlled his game character to go to the river across the pasture.

He took the bait and threw out the fish hook. Then, he waited.

After a while, he received a game notification. A fish had taken the bait. He immediately controlled the game character to pull the hook. A moment later, a fish was pulled up.

He controlled the game character to untie the fish and send it to the storage room. He received a notification:

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 2)!]

Qin Lin knew about the wild bass. It was considered very famous for its nourishment. For example, his mother was weak, but the bass was very nutritious. Not only could it replenish protein, but it was also effective for strengthening the spleen, moisturizing, and blood circulation.

He often bought bass to nourish his mother's body, and ordinary wild bass could be sold for 30 yuan per catty.

However, what surprised Qin Lin was that this random wild bass was of Quality 2?

During this period of time, he also understood that normal things had no quality. Quality 1 was already one level higher than normal things. Quality 2 was equivalent to two levels higher, and they all had +2 attributes.

The things produced in the game were at least Quality 1.

He immediately entered the small toilet in the shop and entered the game.

Other than the facilities for storing fruits and vegetables, there were also a few pools in the game storage room. Clearly, they were used to store water. At this moment, one of the pools was already filled with water, and a fish was swimming in it.

Qin Lin picked up the net beside him and saw the notes.

[Wild bass: Quality 2 (10 catties)]

[Remarks: This is a pure wild bass. It's a big fish. There's no pollution from the game.

Rich protein +2, easy to digest and absorb +2, healthy spleen moistness +2, active blood circulation +2, appetizer +2, delicacy +2, delicious meat +2, taste +2.]

This series of +2 made Qin Lin happy. This could be used to nourish his mother.

Furthermore, this one had grown to a magical 10 catties.

It took at least three years for a bass to grow more than five catties, and it took even longer for a wild bass. Wild bass above ten catties was almost rare. Because of environmental pollution and manual hunting, two or three catties on the market were considered big. The common ones were even less than one catty.

He had seen a news article about a wild fishing competition. An 11.5 catty wild bass king was sold for more than 200 yuan per catty.

He had caught 10 catties of pure wild bass, and it was even of Quality 2. It was a really big fish that others could not buy even if they had money.

The game was awesome!

Qin Lin was a little excited to catch such a big fish.

He exited the game and controlled his character to fish by the river again. Not long after, another fish took the bait.

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 1)!]

Chapter 17

For the rest of the time, Qin Lin controlled his game character to fish by the river. From time to time, a notification sounded.

[You have caught a wild black carp (Quality 1)]

[You have caught a wild grass carp (Quality 1)]

…

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 1)!]

In the beginning, Qin Lin controlled the game character and caught a fish almost immediately.

At this rate, he might be able to catch hundreds of fish in an afternoon.

However, while the idea was good, the reality was a little cruel. As time passed, it would take longer and longer to catch a fish.

When he caught more than 30 fish, a notification appeared in the game:

[There don't seem to be any fish in the river. Please wait for the refresh to resume!]

"?" Qin Lin complained.

It was just a game. Why was it being so serious? Couldn't it let the players fish endlessly?

This really affected the gaming experience.

Seeing that he could not fish anymore, Qin Lin controlled the game character to put away the fishing rod and bait. Then, he entered the small toilet in the shop again and entered the game with a thought.

When he arrived at the storage room, there was already a group of fish swimming in a pool. There was also an information board beside the pool that recorded the number of fish.

He had caught a total of 35 fishes, 15 of which were wild basses, 10 wild grass carps, and 10 wild black carps.

Wild grass carps and wild black carps could also be sold for 20 yuan per catty because these two fishes were quite nutritious.

Furthermore, these 10 wild grass carps and 10 wild black carps were more than 10 catties.

Wild grass carps and wild black carps were relatively large. It was also common to see more than ten catties of wild grass carps and wild black carps in the market.

However, if there were more than 20 to 30 catties of wild grass carps and wild green carps, it would be very rare in modern society.

When Qin Lin looked at the specific information of these fish, four fishes surprised him.

[Wild bass: Quality 2 (12 catties)]

[Wild bass: Quality 2 (11 catties)]

...

[Wild Black Carp: Quality 2 (25 catties)]

[Remarks: This is a pure wild black carp. It's a big fish. There's no pollution from the game.

Nourishment +2, Healthy Spleen Healthy Stomach +2, Liver Nourishment Brightness +2, Moisture and Medium +2, Severe Malaria +2, Delicious +2, Taste +2]

[Wild Grass Cap: Quality 2 (31 catties)]

[Remarks: This is a pure wild grass carp. It's a big fish and has no pollution to the game products.

Weak body and stomach -2, liver hyperactivity -2, high blood pressure -2, headache and tinnitus -2, deliciousness +2, taste +2!]

Looking at these four big goods, Qin Lin could not help but be surprised.

The three types of wild fishes of Quality 2 seemed to be considered high-quality. They were above 10 catties of basses, 20 catties of black carps, and 30 catties of grass carps.

This size could be called a fish king in the wild fishing competition. More importantly, with the attribute bonus of Quality 2, the wild fishes he caught were far superior to those fish kings.

It could be said that if these four fishes were sold, many rich people with weak or sick bodies at home would be willing to pay an expensive price.

These kinds of goods could not be bought with money. After all, it was difficult to even buy normal wild goods.

Qin Lin looked at the other 31 fishes. They were also of Quality 1.

This kind of wild fish was different from ordinary fishes, and it was not difficult to determine. This was because the difference was very big. The wild fishes were slender, fat, and round. Their body color was also different. The wild fishes were lighter, the breeding color was darker, and the feces were even more different. The smell of wild fish feces was lighter, and the breeding was heavier.

However, there were not many wild fishes. Qin Lin was not in a hurry to resolve them, especially the four big fishes. These things were left for his mother to nourish her body.

In the evening.

After the strawberries and okra matured, Qin Lin went to the warehouse to move the things out of the game and sent them to the RT-Mart again. Today, the strawberries earned a total of 18,505 yuan, and the okra was 19,870 yuan. The balance on his card had reached 356,787 yuan.

After delivering the goods, he returned to the shop to pick up Wang Cai. Qin Lin also entered the game. He picked up the 12-catty wild bass and brought it out of the game with a rope.

This one had been chosen to bring back to nourish his mother.

When they returned home, Qin Lin said to Lin Fen, "Mom, what do you think? It's for you to nourish your body."

"Such a big bass. Is it a wild bass?" Lin Fen could not help but be surprised when she received the 12 catties of bass. She naturally knew that such a big wild bass was very expensive. This thing only grew one catty every few years, and it was difficult to buy even with money.

Some people were so lucky that they could not even bear to eat one. Instead, they chose to sell it for a sum of money.

It was so big that it probably cost more than 2,000 yuan.

Of course, this was because she did not know that this fish had attributes.

At the thought of this, she complained, "Xiao Lin, why are you so extravagant? I don't need to eat such expensive things."

"Mom, don't worry. I've earned a lot from wholesale recently. Our family can afford this. I'll kill the fish. I want to try such a big wild bass too," Qin Lin said as he carried the 12-catty bass into the kitchen.

Actually, when he heard his mother's complaints, his heart was warm.

In the past, his parents had nagged him until he felt annoyed. Now that his father had passed away, he could only miss that kind of nagging. Now that he had his mother to nag him, he had to cherish her.

"You!" Lin Fen could only follow her into the kitchen.

Killing the fish was not difficult for Qin Lin. He quickly handled the fish.

However, the mother and son clearly could not finish 12 catties of fish. They could only make half of it and put the other half in the fridge.

Coincidentally, there was tofu at home. Lin Fen's best dish was the bass tofu soup. The milky white soup made from ordinary wild bass was very delicious. The bass produced by this game had a taste of +2 and was delicious +2. It would taste even better.

The truth did not disappoint Qin Lin. After the wild bass tofu soup was done, he took a small sip and his eyes lit up.

The taste and texture were really too delicious. Even the chefs from five-star and international hotels who used all kinds of seasonings to make it could not compare.

"Yes! The fish tastes so good today." Lin Fen was surprised after eating it. She had eaten a lot of basses, but she had never eaten anything so delicious. Had her skills improved?

Furthermore, after eating a bowl, she inexplicably felt a warm current flowing through her blood vessels and meridians. She felt much better.

She did not know if she was hallucinating, but she was indeed more comfortable and relaxed.

After eating a bowl of fish, Qin Lin also felt a hint of warmth. That feeling was very real. If he did not know that this bass had the attribute of living blood circulation +2, he would have thought that he had become a martial arts expert and that internal energy had appeared in his body.

However, it was effective so quickly. It was simply as shocking as the Quality 2 okra.

Qin Lin felt satisfied after eating a bowl of bass soup this time. He immediately got himself another bowl.

Lin Fen picked up a piece of fish for Wang Cai. After eating, the dog also licked the fish bones.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, I have something to tell you." Lin Fen suddenly said to Qin Lin, "You also know that Qin Ren is getting engaged. Your father even borrowed 50,000 yuan from his family for his illness. This time, he's also looking for someone else to borrow the betrothal gift."

"The other party knew about our family's situation and didn't come to ask for a debt. Although our family doesn't have the money to repay him, we can't pretend not to know."

"Go to his house tonight and ask if there's anything you can help with."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look later."

Qin Ren was his childhood friend. In the past, he had lived in an old house in the countryside and learned photography at university. Now, he had opened an advertising and planning studio in Youcheng County with his friend. Be it advertising or wedding planning, he took on all kinds of jobs.

When his father was sick, the Fang family lent them 50,000 yuan without hesitation. This was also the greatest favor to their family.

Now that he was engaged, he could return the 50,000 yuan to him tonight.

There were also other people whom his family had borrowed money from. If they had the ability, they had to return it as soon as possible.

What he borrowed was kindness, and what he returned could not be resentment.

Therefore, he had to find a time to return the money to the other creditors.

Chapter 18

After dinner.

Qin Lin entered the game and took out the 31-catty Quality 2 wild grass carp.

When visiting someone else's house, he had to bring some gifts. Qin Ren's father had high blood pressure. This quality 2 wild grass carp had a -2 effect on high blood pressure.

It was a little strenuous to grab a 31-catty fish, and it was very slippery. When Qin Lin passed through the fish rope and picked it up, the fish was still struggling. Most importantly, it was so strong that it almost fell out of his hand.

Fortunately, after a moment of stalemate, the fish lost its strength and could only open its mouth and let itself be controlled.

Qin Ren's house was the residence of a top scholar. The position was good, but it was not in the center of the city. When he arrived at Qin Ren's house, there were still four people inside. Qin Ren's parents, Uncle Shuigen, and Auntie Shuigen, as well as two young girls.

One of the girls was Qin Ren's girlfriend, Liao Li, a nurse from the county hospital. She had actually lived with Qin Ren long ago.

As for the other girl, she should be Liao Li's best friend or relative.

"Xiao Lin, you're here?" Qin Shuigen was clearly in a good mood. After all, his son was about to get engaged. However, the next moment, his gaze was attracted by the big fish in Qin Lin's hand.

Or rather, as soon as Qin Lin entered, everyone's gaze was attracted by the 31-catty grass carp.

Ordinary people rarely saw such a big grass carp.

Qin Lin held the fish. The entire fish head had to be above his waist, or the fishtail would scrape the ground.

Qin Ren ran forward in surprise. "Damn, Lin Zi, where did you get such a big item?"

Qin Lin handed the grass carp to Qin Ren and said, "This is good for high blood pressure. It's for Uncle Shuigen."

Qin Ren could not help but gesture with the fish. Even Liao Li and the girl could not help but take photos of the fish with their phones.

This fish was clearly qualified to show off on their social media platforms.

"Huh?!" Qin Shuigen suddenly exclaimed. He looked at the fish carefully and said in surprise, "Xiao Lin, is this a wild grass carp?"

"Yes, Uncle Shuigen!" Qin Lin nodded and said, "I was lucky to catch this one and sent it to you."

When Qin Ren heard this, he immediately said, "Lin Zi, did you catch this fish? You're not good enough. You didn't even bring me to play with such a big fish. Remember to call me for such an event next time."

Qin Shuigen frowned and said, "Child, why did you give me such an expensive thing? You can't even buy such a wild item with money. Take it back."

"Uncle Shuigen, how can you take back a gift that's sent to your door?" Qin Lin shook his head and quickly changed the topic. "Uncle Shuigen, I came here for something else today. When my father was sick, he borrowed 50,000 yuan from your family. Now that Qin Ren is getting engaged, I'll return the money."

"Xiao Lin, where did you get so much money?" Qin Shuigen frowned again and said, "We already have the money for Xiao Ren's engagement. You don't have to be in a hurry to repay the money."

However, as he spoke, Qin Lin had already taken out his phone and used WeChat to transfer the 50,000 yuan to Qin Ren. At the same time, he said, "Uncle Shuigen, isn't it only right to repay a debt? If I have money, I naturally have to repay it first."

"Dad!" Qin Ren handed his phone to Qin Shuigen helplessly.

When Qin Shuigen saw this, he could only sigh. He went in and found an IOU before handing it to Qin Lin. "Xiao Lin, you'll be successful. No one in the village is more sensible than you."

Auntie Shuigen was also very touched. "Xiao Lin, you're so sensible that it's enviable. If Xiao Ren is half as sensible as you, we can worry less."

"Mom, how am I insensible?" Qin Ren asked, clearly unconvinced.

"Go away," Auntie Shuigen said unhappily.

This scene made the two girls laugh.

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment. He drank a cup of tea and asked if Qin Ren needed help with his engagement. Then, he bade farewell and left. Qin Ren and his parents sent him out.

In the house, the girl asked Liao Li softly, "Xiao Li, your friend seems like a good catch. He's not bad-looking either. Why don't we push WeChat to get to know each other?"

She seemed to be interested in Qin Lin after hearing the two elders' praise.

How could Liao Li not understand her cousin's thoughts? She whispered, "His name is Qin Lin. He's a very good person, but his family's situation isn't good. He doesn't have a car or a house. He might not even have any savings with this 50,000 yuan. Na Na, have you thought it through? Do you really want his WeChat?"

"Xiao Li, I was joking with you. You took it seriously." Chu Na immediately laughed when she heard Liao Li's words.

What a joke. She was already past the stage of love where she did not care about material things, okay?

She was not bad. Her looks were only basic. If the other party lacked some additional conditions, she would not be stupid enough to hit on him.

Liao Li could not help but roll her eyes at her cousin. This woman deserved to be a leftover.

A moment later, Qin Ren and his parents returned.

Qin Shuigen did not forget to instruct Qin Ren, "Don't tell anyone that Xiao Lin was here to return the money."

"Dad, I know!" Qin Ren nodded.

The father and son knew why Qin Lin was here to repay the money. He must know that their family was short of money for the engagement. He might have even taken out his savings for this 50,000 yuan.

However, Qin Lin's family still owed others money. If others knew that he had returned 50,000 yuan in one go, someone would definitely go to his house to nag.

Qin Ren continued, "Dad, since Lin Zi brought the fish over, I'll cook some for you tonight and drink some wine to sleep."

Qin Shuigen rolled his eyes at his son. How could he not know that he was greedy for good food? However, he nodded.

He had really never eaten such a big wild fish.

Late at night, after a pot of fish soup was stewed, Qin Ren's family felt comfortable and warm all over after eating.

When she woke up the next day, Qin Shuigen felt even more incredulous. Usually, she would have a headache and feel dizzy because of high blood pressure. This morning, she felt much more relaxed and was in better spirits.

…

Qin Lin got up as usual to harvest strawberries and okra before sending them to the RT-Mart. In the afternoon, he tried to control his game character to go fishing by the river and realized that he could successfully fish again.

In an afternoon, he had harvested 34 fish again. They were also wild basses, wild grass carps, and wild black carps. Furthermore, there were also more than 10 catties of Quality 2 basses, more than 20 catties of quality 2 grass carps, and 2 black carps.

This also allowed him to understand the rules. It seemed like those who reached the size standard were all Quality 2, while the others were Grade 1.

In the evening, the strawberries and okra were delivered again. He earned another 38,216 yuan a day.

For the next three days, he entered the cycle of planting strawberries, okra, and fishing.

Furthermore, Qin Lin had also confirmed it over the past three days. Fishing by the river would refresh every afternoon, and he could fish. There were 30 to 40 fish, and then there would be a notification that there were no fish in the river.

Including the fish he had caught in the past two days, there were a total of 168 fish.

Among them, there were nine fishes that were more than Quality 210 catties, four fishes that were more than 20 catties, and six fishes that were more than 30 catties.

He did not deal with these wild fishes for the time being. The fishes he wanted to produce were all alive and wild. It was troublesome to send them away. He planned to save more first.

When the time came, he would go out in one go and see if he could continue to look for Manager Chen or go to the seafood market.

However, after three days, the strawberries and okra brought him 113,648 yuan again. In three days, his income was almost 120,000 yuan.

Even if he returned 50,000 yuan to Qin Ren's family, he still had more than 410,000 yuan in his card.

This was money he had earned in a short time.

As the sun set, Qin Lin brought home another 11 catties of Quality 2 wild basses.

The fishes in the river could be refreshed in the afternoon. This Quality 2 wild goods would not run out. Others could not buy it with money, but he could eat it whenever he wanted.

"Another big wild bass?" Lin Fen looked at the fish in her son's hand in surprise.

How could she not be surprised?

This was the third one her son had brought back these past few days.

Such a big wild bass could not be bought even if she wanted to. No matter how rich she was, it would be a waste if no one could catch it. However, she had been eating it every day these past few days.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mom, this is easy to get. I won't lack it in the future!"

"?" Lin Fen was not sure if what her son said was true.

Who would dare to say that it was easy to get such a wild item?

Logically speaking, his son was definitely bragging, but he did bring them home one after another.

Chapter 19

At night.

After dinner, Qin Lin played with Wang Cai for a while. After being adopted, the dog was a little clingy and knew how to please others. It would look at them with its watery eyes and gently rub their legs with its head. Anyone would not be able to help but reach out and rub its head.

When he returned to the room, the strawberries and gumbo seedlings in the game were already a little dry and needed to be watered.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to water the strawberries and okra seedlings with a bucket and a shower. Then, he began to chat with Zhao Moqing on WeChat.

Two days passed like this.

Early in the morning, Qin Lin sent the ripe strawberries and okra to the supermarket. When he returned to the shop on the market, he had to busy himself in front of the computer.

This was because it was time for the fruit and vegetable store to report the tax.

Reporting taxes was not the same as paying taxes. Be it a company or an individual operator, they did not have to pay taxes, but they had to report it.

Reporting taxes was to report the operating situation, income expenditure, and so on to the tax bureau. If there was no income or the conditions to pay taxes, there was no need to pay taxes.

Although he had inherited the fruit shop for more than a year, paying taxes was really unfamiliar to Qin Lin.

This was because the fruit shop had some special policies. That was, if the monthly sales did not exceed 100,000 yuan, there was no need to pay value-added tax. With the local support policy, if the sales did not exceed 50,000 yuan, there was no need to pay taxes.

His family's small fruit and vegetable shop could earn less than 10,000 yuan a month after paying rent, utilities, and so on. The profit was about 25%, which was not enough to meet the tax conditions.

In other words, he had not paid a single tax to the country on his salary until now. He had still been enjoying the national medical insurance and various benefits. To a certain extent, he was a group of people who dragged the country down.

He was ashamed!

However, he did not miss out on taxes every month. It was his obligation.

In order to miss the time, the local tax stipulated that the tax would be reported for the next two days.

In the past, if they could not meet the tax conditions, some things would pass after being muddled for a while. No one cared, and that was what everyone did.

Perhaps not this time. He would definitely have to pay taxes.

Otherwise, if his savings soared from more than 4,000 yuan in a short period of time, there would be even more in the future. He would definitely be monitored by the bank. That would be troublesome.

Since he had to pay taxes, he naturally had to calculate them first and organize all the invoices during this period.

His account was really a little troublesome. An individual operator did not need to pay corporate income tax. However, once it exceeded the tax exemption and value-added tax line, he would have to pay an individual operator's tax and value-added tax.

It was probably:

Net profit of no more than 30,000 yuan meant 5% tax.

30,000 yuan to 90,000 yuan was 10% + 3% VAT.

90,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan was 20% + 3% VAT.

Qin Lin did not know how much tax his fruit shop had to pay now.

Although he had earned more than 400,000 yuan from this transaction, taxes would definitely have to be deducted from the market's normal costs. He would not foolishly say that he had no capital.

Of course, even if he reported taxes without any capital, the staff reviewers might treat him as a simple-minded person who knew nothing. They might even patiently teach him to calculate the cost and profits of reporting taxes. Even if he wanted to pay more taxes without any capital, they would not dare to do it for him.

However, no one was so stupid as to report taxes without any capital.

Therefore, he had to tidy up the accounts so that he could declare them.

After an entire day, his neck and shoulders were sore. Qin Lin then used the software on the computer to calculate the bill.

During this period of time, coupled with today's income, he had sold 186,977 watermelons. His bookkeeping profits were 35,265 yuan. He had sold 147,753 strawberries, and his bookkeeping profits were 36,938 yuan. He had sold 135,165 okra, and his bookkeeping profits were 33,791 yuan.

In other words, although he had earned more than 400,000 yuan without any capital, after deducting the normal cost of watermelons, strawberries, and okra, the profit was 105,994 yuan.

In other words, the tax he had to pay was best. Some of the 20% individual income tax that exceeded 90,000 + 3% value-added tax needed to pay more than 20,000 taxes according to the corresponding formula.

This really matched the saying that the more one earned, the more one paid. It was no wonder that so many people wanted to avoid taxes.

Before this, paying so many taxes at once was really unimaginable to him.

In a place like Youcheng County, there were not many people who could earn 20,000 yuan a month, let alone pay more than 20,000 yuan in taxes.

However, when he thought of the 300,000 plus unpaid profits, he did not care about the 20,000 plus taxes.

After figuring it out, he logged into the tax system like before and began to report taxes online.

After some manipulation, he waited for the review to be accepted.

The next day.

Qin Lin got up and picked the ripe strawberries and okra as usual before planting new seeds.

When he opened the door, Wang Cai's cries sounded again before it stuck its head toward him.

Qin Lin smiled and reached out to rub Wang Cai's head.

The dog was already waiting for him outside his door habitually as if it was waiting for him to wake up.

After breakfast, when he left, Wang Cai delivered the dog chain to him.

After putting the dog in the shop, he went to the warehouse and sent the ripe strawberries and okra from the morning to the supermarket. After he was done, he returned to the shop and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the news of the successful tax report online. Then, he rode the small electric car to the tax bureau.

After receiving the tax, he could go to the tax bureau to collect the checks and pay taxes. He could naturally pay taxes online, but he had to bring information to apply.

It was his first time paying taxes, so he naturally had to go to the tax bureau.

What Qin Lin did not expect was that as soon as he rode the small electric car to the entrance of the tax bureau and stopped, he saw a familiar Audi stop.

Chen Hao got out of the car with his two colleagues and was stunned to see Qin Lin.

He did not expect to see Zhao Moqing's husband when he returned from running errands with his colleague.

After making things awkward in front of this fellow twice, he disliked him the most.

However, Chen Hao looked at his two colleagues beside him and greeted Qin Lin with a smile. "We meet again?"

The two colleagues looked at Qin Lin. One of them asked, "Chen Hao, do you know him?"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "I guess so. He's Zhao Moqing's husband."

When he said this, a strange smile appeared on Chen Hao's face. This was his goal.

After knowing that he was interested in Zhao Moqing, his colleagues in the bureau had been asking him how his and Zhao Moqing's progress was. He did not know how to answer.

He wanted to take this opportunity to let his colleague know that Zhao Moqing had a husband, and he was even riding an electric scooter.

In today's society, those with slightly better family conditions would pay for a car after graduation. They did not have to ride a small electric car.

Furthermore, with a wife like Zhao Moqing, she would be too embarrassed to go out on a small electric car, right?

That way, everyone's attention would not be on whether he had caught up to Zhao Moqing. They would only feel that Zhao Moqing was a fresh flower stuck in cow dung and had no taste.

The two colleagues beside him would quickly spread this gossip.

Hearing Chen Hao's words, the two colleagues beside him clearly looked at Qin Lin strangely. Zhao Moqing was a flower in the bureau, but they did not expect her to be married. It seemed like her husband was indeed not good enough.

Qin Lin naturally recognized Chen Hao. He did not expect him to greet him. He nodded politely. "Hello."

"You're picking Mo Qing up again? But she won't get off work so soon!" Chen Hao seemed to be reminding her, but he actually wanted to remind his colleagues that Zhao Moqing's husband always picked her up in a small electric car.

"I just reported my taxes. I'm here to pay them," Qin Lin was not stupid. He could hear the faint sense of superiority in the other party's voice. He did not want to care about him and said politely before walking in.

Chen Hao and his two colleagues were stunned.

Someone said, "Today is the time for individual fruit and vegetable households to report their taxes, right? Zhao Moqing's husband is also an individual fruit and vegetable household? To be able to reach the tax standards, it seems like his income is not bad."

The other person said, "At least 10,000 yuan a month. It's also a high income in Youcheng County. It's possible to earn 20,000 yuan a month if your business is good. It's much better than civil servants in small county cities like ours…"

"How is that possible? He still wants to ride a small electric car at 20,000 yuan a month?" Chen Hao frowned. As he muttered in his heart, he looked at the old electric car.

He refused to believe it.

...

Chapter 20

Qin Lin entered the tax hall. There was no one at this time, so there was no need to queue. Furthermore, most people were already handling the procedures online. They could just hold a phone.

Those who still came to the Land Tax Bureau's window to pay taxes were either doing it for the first time or used to paying taxes at the window. They had a psychological distrust and rejection of online procedures. Most of them were elderly individuals.

"Sir, please show me your ID information. I'll help you inquire about the printed tax receipt." The staff at the window was a young lady called Li Jiahui.

Qin Lin provided his identity card information. He had already reported the taxes online. When he swiped his identity card, he could see the tax information.

Chen Hao also appeared inside.

He was pretending to take the information mainly to see how much tax Zhao Moqing's husband had to pay.

This was a strange mentality. Perhaps he suddenly felt a little indignant that his sense of superiority was gone.

Li Jiahui took Qin Lin's identity card. When she swiped the tax information, she clearly exclaimed, "Huh…"

It was no wonder she was surprised. The information on it was too unbelievable.

He had just graduated from university at the age of 23, right? He had earned 100,000 yuan a month and paid more than 20,000 yuan in taxes.

In a place like Youcheng County, it was already very good to earn 100,000 yuan a year at such a young age. The number of people who earned 100,000 yuan a month could be counted on one hand.

What kind of quality resource was this for a single woman?

She even subconsciously looked up at Qin Lin with a different gaze.

"Sir, I've already found your tax information. You can scan the code to pay taxes. I'll print the tax receipt for you later." Li Jiahui's tone became even gentler as if she was displaying her perfect state.

Qin Lin also took out his phone and paid the tax.

A moment later, an artificial intelligence voice sounded from inside. "24,378 yuan in taxes!"

When Chen Hao heard this voice, his eyes suddenly widened as ten thousand curses surged through his heart.

With so many taxes, he should have earned 100,000 yuan a month, right?

A person who earned 100,000 yuan a month rode a small electric car?

Alright! Riding a small electric car without money was called being poor. Riding a small electric car with money was called being low-key.

Chen Hao's emotions were extremely complicated.

At this moment, Li Jiahui had also printed the receipt and handed it to Qin Lin. Then, she said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, our tax bureau has a value-added service. I'm Li Jiahui. We can add each other on WeChat. You can ask me anytime if there's a tax problem."

"F*ck…" Chen Hao complained in his heart when he heard this.

Was there a ghost in their value-added service?

"Qin Lin, why are you here?" A crisp voice sounded.

Zhao Moqing ran to the window in surprise when she saw Qin Lin.

"Mo Qing!" Qin Lin wanted to hug and kiss his wife when he saw her, but when he thought of this, he gave up on the thought.

Li Jiahui seemed to feel threatened and asked curiously, "Moqing, do you know this Mr. Qin?"

"He's her husband!" Chen Hao said lightly.

"What?" Li Jiahui was stunned and then felt frustrated.

This kind of high-quality man really did not wait for anyone. Someone had struck first at such a young age.

No wonder Zhao Moqing ignored a suitor like Chen Hao.

She looked at Chen Hao, who relied on his parents and sisters to buy a car. He was really a few streets behind.

"…" Chen Hao seemed to have sensitively noticed Li Jiahui's disdainful gaze.

What did she mean?

When Qin Lin saw Zhao Moqing, he smiled and said, "Moqing, I'm here to report the taxes and pay them."

"Tax?" Zhao Moqing was clearly a little surprised. She knew the situation in Qin Lin's shop. Previously, he did not even have the right to pay taxes. Why was he paying taxes now?

He had heard from Qin Lin that he had started a wholesale business. It seemed like his income had increased compared to before.

She was happy for Qin Lin and took the tax certificate from his hand to see how much tax Qin Lin had paid.

"24,378 yuan?" Zhao Moqing was shocked to see the amount of taxes Qin Lin paid. With so many taxes, Qin Lin should have earned 100,000 yuan this month.

She confirmed it again and confirmed that she was not mistaken. She pulled Qin Lin out. When they reached the tax bureau, she could not help but ask, "Qin Lin, is this true? Is it so profitable for you to sell it wholesale?"

Qin Lin smiled and hugged Zhao Moqing's waist. "Of course. Besides, I have to work hard for my wife. I want to bring you home as soon as possible."

Women were emotional. When Zhao Moqing heard this, she was touched. She could not help but kiss Qin Lin's face hard. Although she was willing to live a difficult life with Qin Lin and had even secretly registered her marriage with him without telling her family, as a woman, who did not want their husband to be successful?

"I'm working overtime tonight. Come pick me up from work." Zhao Moqing looked at Qin Lin with a smile and even reminded him shyly, "My parents went back to their hometown today. I can stay the night."

"I'll book a hotel room later!" Qin Lin said subconsciously before Zhao Moqing pinched his waist.

Zhao Moqing snorted proudly. "I'll go to work first."

Qin Lin watched as Zhao Moqing entered the tax bureau and entered the hall again. He applied for the online tax business at Li Jiahui's window.

This time, Li Jiahui was a little lukewarm. She was completely different from her previous gentleness and enthusiasm. It made people wonder if she was a relative who had a change of temper.

When Qin Lin left the tax bureau, he was in a happy mood that he had never been in before. He even stopped at a pharmacy on a small electric scooter and entered to buy the most expensive small umbrella.

He had no choice. Before he could bring Mo Qing home openly, nothing could happen. Otherwise, when the time came, her parents would definitely explode.

When he returned to the market and entered the shop, Qin Lin looked at the game in his mind in surprise.

A new plot had happened in the game.

Other than daily planting, breeding, and construction, this game also had some plots interspersed. It might be interacting with the residents of Ore Town, just like how Zach gave fishing rods and bait.

Naturally, the plot could also be triggered by an animal. It was more likely to be triggered by some strange creatures.

For example, the short man in front of him.

The dwarfs in the depths of the forest seemed to be set up as there were seven dwarfs in Ore Town. They could even invite the dwarfs to work at the ranch.

"You're the owner of the ranch? I'm Arnie, a dwarf from deep in the forest. I have seven companions who have settled outside the Ore Town. I've been helping them build houses these past few days."

"I like to fish. I saw you fishing by the river these past few days. Let's compete in fishing?"

"If you win the fishing competition, I'll give you a gift!"

Seeing that the dwarf had issued a fishing competition, Qin Lin controlled his game character to accept it. Then, his game character automatically followed the dwarf to the river.

This time, the game screen by the river was different. After the game screen turned black, it became a competition screen for a small fishing game.

The competition was probably to see who caught more fish in a minute.

The fishing in this small game was different from his previous fishing. It tested one's reaction speed. When the fish swam past, he would throw out the hook and catch the fish.

If it was done with his hands, Qin Lin would really be a little lousy at this game. Now that he was controlling it with his mind, he was really not afraid.

Therefore, after the competition began, Qin Lin took the lead indisputably and the competition ended with victory.

The game screen returned to normal. The dwarf, Arnie, praised her generously. "Your fishing skills are really amazing. I lost. As the winner, I'll give this to you as a prize. I just caught it in the wild."

The dwarf gave the game character a special container. There was also a beautiful white-brown fish swimming inside.

[You have obtained an expensive special wild ornamental fish: Wild Albino Tiger]

Chapter 21

Wild Albino Tiger?

Qin Lin knew about wild bass, wild grass carp, and wild black carp.

He really did not understand ornamental fish.

Every time he saw the expensive ornamental fish that others had meticulously raised, his first thought was how was the taste different when steamed and stir-fried?

He felt that those people were paying a very high IQ tax.

However, now that he had obtained such an expensive wild ornamental fish, he still took out his phone and searched online.

The Albino Tiger was a top-grade variant of the Indonesian tiger. Its characteristics were its dazzling white-brown color and very beautiful appearance.

However, wild ones were extremely rare and could only be chanced upon by luck. It was just like how it was not rare to see beautiful women after makeup, surgery, and beauty enhancement. There were really few natural and bare-faced beauties.

Of course, this was not the most important thing. When Qin Lin saw the price of this wild Albino Tiger, he was really a little stunned.

Such a fish could be sold for 600,000 yuan? The price of a BMW 5 Series?

To an ordinary person like him, it was unimaginable that a fish was equivalent to a BMW 5 Series.

More importantly, was this kind of fish still priceless? Any fish that appeared would be snatched by the fish slaves. This could only mean that there were too many people who had money but no place to spend it.

Qin Lin entered the game in disbelief and looked at the fish the dwarf had given him. Was such a fish really worth so much money?

This was more money than he had earned from working hard to plant watermelons, strawberries, and okra.

[Wild Albino Tiger: Quality 2!]

[This is a very beautiful fish. Looks +2, taste +2, delicious +2, desire to buy +2!]

It tastes really good~

Although he felt that there was something wrong with the head of a person who would spend 600,000 yuan to buy such a fish, he wanted to find a person with such a head immediately.

Between an expensive fish and 600,000 yuan, he naturally chose 600,000 yuan.

However, it was a problem who he sold it to. Although one of them would be snatched away, he did not know how to let those people who would snatch it know.

With a thought, Qin Lin brought the container and the Wild Albino Tiger out of the game. Then, he called for a taxi and carefully carried the fish into the car.

There was a shop in Youcheng County that sold ornamental fish, but this shop definitely did not have any ornamental fish that cost hundreds of thousands. They all sold ornamental fish that cost dozens or hundreds of yuan.

However, there must be a way to open this ornamental fish shop, right?

When he thought of the 600,000 yuan in his hand, Qin Lin instructed the driver as soon as he got into the car, "Sir, drive slower later. Don't scare this fish."

"…" The driver looked at Qin Lin from the rearview mirror and felt like he had met another strange passenger.

It was just a fish. Did he need to specially instruct him? How fast could he drive in this city? He could just overtake a few cars.

Naturally, the driver did not know that this fish was worth a BMW 5 Series top-grade car. Otherwise, he might have rejected it.

Soon, Qin Lin was brought to a shop called Huimai Ornamental Fish. When he entered the shop, he saw a man whistling as he patiently surrounded a fish tank.

He was probably even more gentle to it than he was to his wife.

"Is the boss around?" Qin Lin asked as he carried the Albino Tiger into the shop.

"Sir, I'm the boss!" the man turned around and replied. His gaze was attracted to the fish in Qin Lin's hand. He said in surprise, "Albino Tiger? This color and appearance… It's from the wild? It's top-grade."

"Sir, are you buying an aquarium or fish food? If it's an aquarium, I don't have anything worthy of your fish. I'm afraid I'll have to customize it. I still have some fish food…"

Qin Lin immediately said, "Boss, I want to sell this fish. Do you have a way?"

These words clearly made the boss's eyes light up. He actually invited Qin Lin to sit down enthusiastically. "Sir, I'm Lin Sheng. Are you going to find a buyer for this fish? I have a channel to help you, and I can help you fight for the highest price. However, according to the rules, as a middleman, I need to take 20%."

This was also why he was suddenly so enthusiastic.

Wild Albino Tiger. He knew the price of this fish and happened to know that there were a few ornamental fish at this price in a farm player's WeChat group. Wasn't this a coincidence that the God of Fortune came to his doorstep?

How many aquariums and low-quality ornamental fishes must he sell to earn this money?

"Boss Lin, then we'll follow the rules. You'll get what you deserve." Qin Lin did not doubt this. Didn't many businesses in society rely on intermediaries? Such people had another professional title: brokers.

Of course, there were also professionals and temporary guests. He could tell that Lin Sheng was clearly a temporary guest.

As for the 20% he said, he did not know if it was expensive or normal.

However, this did not matter to him. After all, this fish had no capital. There was no way he could find a buyer himself. It might waste a lot of time and energy, and some things might even happen.

"Sir, you look like a magnanimous person." When Lin Sheng saw that Qin Lin had agreed, his smile grew wider. However, he was also afraid that Qin Lin would renege on the contract. He professionally printed a commission contract and signed it with him.

After that, he took a few sets of photos and videos of the fish to check if there were any marks or registration codes.

Seeing that it was all blank, he picked up his phone with a happy expression and began to operate it. He called a few more times and sent WeChat photos and videos.

This process lasted for almost an hour before Lin Sheng said to Qin Lin, "Sir, I've helped you contact three interested people. There's a boss in the Water City who offered the highest price. He's willing to pay 650,000 yuan for this fish. He's from the city and will take two hours to get here."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded. He did not expect him to be more anxious than him, the fish seller.

Two hours passed quickly. After a car stopped at the entrance of the shop, a man in his 40s walked in and asked, "Boss Lin, where's the fish?"

Lin Sheng immediately pointed at the container on the table and said, "Boss Zhuang, the fish is here. The person beside you is the fish owner, Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin, then I'll look at the fish first?" Boss Zhuang was clearly a little anxious. He greeted him and went forward to watch with bright eyes.

Qin Lin did not disturb him.

However, he could clearly see a wretched expression gradually appear on Boss Zhuang's face.

"Beautiful, so beautiful… These eyes… This figure… This skin is really perfect!" Boss Zhuang said with a face full of joy. "The natural ones are indeed better."

It was as if he had seen a beauty.

This stunned Qin Lin. To be honest, in his eyes, other than being a little beautiful, that fish was nothing.

"Mr. Qin, I want this fish. We can transfer the money immediately," Boss Zhuang said anxiously after admiring it for a moment.

This fish was top-grade. It was natural and wild, and it was very well taken care of. It could be one of the final pieces of his aquarium exhibition.

Furthermore, for some reason, when he saw this fish, he had a strong desire to buy it. He knew that he would definitely regret not buying it.

Qin Lin naturally had no objections, but he really did not understand these fish farmers. This person who spent 650,000 yuan to buy fish was even more anxious than him who sold fish. It was as if he had gotten a big beauty and was preparing to get a room.

Perhaps this was the effect of 'desire to buy +2'!

Not long after.

Boss Zhuang left with the fish with a flushed face.

Naturally, Qin Lin's card also received a huge sum of money.

"Your last number… income is 650,000 yuan. Your balance is 1,035,779.60 yuan."

In an instant, he had become a millionaire?

Chapter 22

What could one million yuan do?

For Qin Lin, he could completely pay off the debt at home and even pay the down payment for a house to bring Zhao Moqing home.

Of course, if it were someone else with ambition, they would definitely think of using these one million yuan to do something big. They might even have already constructed various plans in their minds to earn one million yuan next.

However, he was not ambitious. Before he had a goal, he still chose to be light-hearted and let Zhao Moqing know that he had not misjudged her.

After receiving the 650,000 yuan transfer, Qin Lin decisively transferred the 13,000 yuan to Lin Sheng.

He had earned so much in one go, so he did not want the middleman to wait too long. Both sides' happiness was the foundation of their next cooperation.

Perhaps that dwarf in the game, Arnie, would come looking for him to compete in fishing again and give him another fish? That would still require Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng also saw that it was Qin Lin's first time selling this ornamental fish. He smiled and reminded him when he received the money, "Mr. Qin, remember to report and pay taxes within a month. Although there's no specific tax on the ornamental fish business, it's currently included in the special tax on agricultural products."

"Previously, someone forgot to declare that he had sold an ornamental fish for 500,000 yuan because he had not experienced it before. Soon, he was reported. Not only was he fined double, but he also went to jail for a period of time."

"Thank you for your reminder, Boss Lin!" Qin Lin nodded in gratitude.

He naturally would not forget to pay taxes. He was actually more afraid of being investigated if he forgot to pay taxes. After all, he did not want his secrets to be known.

After bidding farewell to Lin Sheng, Qin Lin logged into the tax bureau's website as soon as he returned to the shop on the market and reported the tax on the transaction.

Although ornamental fish was included in the agricultural product entry, it was a special value-added transaction. The tax rate was 9% and the value-added tax was 3%. In other words, he had sold it for 650,000 yuan and had to pay 78,000 yuan in taxes.

After registering and paying taxes online, Millionaire -1 only had 953,000 yuan on his card.

In the evening, the strawberries and okra matured. Qin Lin picked them immediately and planted new seeds. Then, he sent the ripe strawberries to the RT-Mart and earned 42,390 yuan.

In addition, he took out 10 catties of Quality 2 okra for Manager Chen. One catty was 400 yuan. Manager Chen paid 4,000 yuan happily and even instructed him to deliver all the goods to him.

He had earned a total of 46,390 yuan today. After receiving it, his bank account had exceeded a million yuan.

Millionaire +1 again.

At night.

After dinner, Qin Lin went into the bathroom to take a shower. He even specially picked a shirt and blew his hair before going to pick Moqing up from work.

When he arrived at the tax bureau, the people working overtime inside walked out one by one. Chen Hao was among them. It seemed like there were many people working overtime today.

Chen Hao naturally saw Qin Lin again. This time, he walked toward his Audi expressionlessly. He did not want to see such a fellow pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

"Qin Lin!" Zhao Moqing came out with a document and Li Jiahui. When she saw Qin Lin, she jogged forward happily and sat in the backseat.

Li Jiahui could not help but feel envious when she saw this. How romantic!

Which woman did not want a husband who rode an electric car like this to pick her up from work?

Qin Lin turned on the small electric car and headed to the hotel. After getting his room card and going upstairs, he shook the room card in his hand. "I booked the best room in this hotel today. I heard the bathtub inside is super…"

"Do you want to die? We're in public." Zhao Moqing reached out angrily and hit Qin Lin's waist hard.

Qin Lin took out his room card proudly and opened the door.

"I'll take a shower first!" Zhao Moqing put down her bag and documents when she entered the room and ran to the bathroom.

Qin Lin was not an ignorant person. He followed obediently.

…

An hour later.

Qin Lin watched as Zhao Moqing organized the information she had brought with a towel by the side and asked, "Moqing, what information is so important? You still brought it back to do it after work?"

Zhao Moqing explained, "Wasn't there a problem with a township state-owned enterprise previously? The problem is still very serious. A few people went in, but some money couldn't be recovered, so we could only seal their assets and auction them in court."

"I worked overtime today for this. Uncle asked me to be in charge of checking these documents and then send them to the court to register for the auction tomorrow."

Qin Lin nodded. Zhao Moqing's uncle was a section chief in the bureau. He was clearly taking care of Zhao Moqing and giving her some credit.

He had also heard about the town enterprise. It had even spread on Youcheng County's WeChat Moments. After all, everyone was most concerned about corruption now.

He took the documents that Zhao Moqing had reviewed curiously. They were all cars, houses, stocks, and so on under those people's names. However, an auction item attracted his attention.

This was an auction for a farmhouse. Could this be the farmhouse that Moqing had said those corrupt people were eating and bragging about?

This farmhouse was called Fuhai Villa. It was not small and covered about 500 acres. It included a fish pond and the right to use the reservoir near the villa.

However, most of the villa were not used well. It was all wasteland…

Furthermore, in a small place like Youcheng County, which was a court auction, the starting price for the rental period and property rights transfer was not very expensive. It was only 600,000 yuan.

As for the final price, it depended on the competitor.

"Moqing, this Fuhai Villa is also being auctioned? There won't be any follow-up problems, right?" Qin Lin asked subconsciously. He was clearly thinking about it.

He majored in tourism management at university. When he saw the information, he felt that Fuhai Villa and Shepherd's Field game in his mind seemed to be able to combine. He could not keep growing watermelons, strawberries, and okra to sell, right?

Now that he had the system to guarantee his income, he was not a pedantic person who went to a dead end. With a ready-made goal, he could delay his debt repayment and purchase goal for a while. After all, many times, good opportunities did not wait for others.

If any creditor really had something to do before returning it, it did not matter if it was a few days earlier or later. A debt of gratitude was for a lifetime, and it was not something to be rushed for the next few days.

However, there were usually many follow-up troubles in court auctions. For example, there were people from the families of the parties involved who caused trouble and had potential debt risks.

Zhao Moqing explained, "There are potential problems with a car and a house, but someone who dares to auction such a car and house will definitely have a way to resolve it."

"As for this Fuhai Villa, there's no problem. I've gone there to take a look. The environment is still not bad. They only cared about providing them with food and water and did not manage it well."

Qin Lin was relieved to hear Zhao Moqing's words.

…

The next morning, Qin Lin checked out with Zhao Moqing. He still had to send her back to change before sending her to work.

After that, in less than a day, Qin Lin saw those auction items appear on the Youcheng County Justice Auction Network, including Fuhai Villa. Other than the starting price being 600,000 yuan, there was an additional auction item. The rental contract could be delayed to the longest period to be signed again. The rent would not increase during the delay. In addition, there was a priority lease.

The land in this villa belonged to the government. When the lease period came, it had to be rented again. At the same price, it had priority.

However, this was not attractive enough. After all, it was only a villa in a small place. It was not certain if it could be done well. If it was not done well, there was no point in losing everything.

What he had to consider now was whether there would be anyone competing. If he encountered someone he liked, it would definitely exceed the starting price of 600,000 yuan and might even exceed a million yuan.

He believed that he was not the only one with good taste.

No matter what, Qin Lin decisively filled in the information and signed up for the auction. The auction date was a week later.

…

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past week, planting strawberries and okra had brought Qin Lin more than 270,000 yuan, which also made his funds reach more than 1.28 million yuan.

When he woke up in the morning, Qin Lin had received a notice of a judicial auction early in the morning. The auction would officially start at 2 PM. He had to pay 10% of the starting price to qualify for the auction.

Qin Lin decisively paid 60,000 yuan before looking at the game screen to pick the ripe strawberries and okra and plant new seeds.

This time, as soon as the seed was planted, the game received a notification.

The game character had leveled up again. He could develop new land and upgrade a level 3 land.

Chapter 23

Qin Lin looked at the screen in his mind immediately.

His game character leveled up again. The notification he received was that he could develop Level 1 land again and upgrade one Level 3 land.

Level 3 land could grow more valuable crops.

Of course, upgrading to level 3 required the gold coins in the game. He had sold all the crops in the game in reality, and there were no gold coins in the game.

Fortunately, the fishes he caught every day were still there.

He immediately sold all the fish. Naturally, he kept the wild basses, wild grass carps, and black carps of Quality 2.

These big items were all good things, so he naturally kept them.

However, after selling all the fish he had caught during this period of time, there were already a lot of game gold coins. It was actually not enough to upgrade to Level 3.

It seemed like the higher the level of this land, the more game gold coins it required.

Qin Lin simply controlled the game character to take out his tools and develop the newly opened land.

Weeding, gravel, cutting wood… After spending some time developing the six plots of land, he planted new okra seeds.

He did not plan to sell these six plots of okra in reality. He would sell them all in the game.

He had to develop that Grade 3 land first.

Furthermore, a portion of the land that was opened up in the future had to be reserved for the game to be sold. In the future, character upgrades and development would always require game gold.

Time passed.

At 2 PM, Qin Lin received the message that the judicial auction had begun.

With the development of the online information society, there were fewer and fewer traditional judicial auctions now. The court had also begun online judicial auctions with the times.

Qin Lin logged into the local judicial auction network and received an auction number backstage.

The things sealed by the tax bureau had already begun to be auctioned.

Soon, the Fuhai Villa began to auction.

Furthermore, as he had expected, someone else had taken a liking to this place.

As soon as the auction began, three people took turns bidding. From the beginning of the auction to 600,000, 610,000, 620,000, 630,000… until 700,000 yuan.

These three people had all bid 11,000 yuan, making them seem petty. It was obvious that they wanted to auction it at the lowest price. At the same time, their budget should be limited.

This made Qin Lin think. He only had a budget of 1.28 million yuan. He did not know what the others' budget was.

He could not grind it out with these three people. Such people actually had a mentality. That was, if he added another 10,000 yuan, they might give up and think that it was a fluke.

Furthermore, 10,000 yuan was not that much pressure. 10 times was only 100,000 yuan.

However, if it was an increase of 100,000 yuan at a time, the pressure would be completely different. It would even give off a determined aura.

As he thought about this, Qin Lin wanted to add 100,000 yuan to the bid. However, before he could do anything, a fourth person joined and directly offered 800,000 yuan.

Someone had thought of the same thing as him and added 100,000 yuan at once.

Indeed, the three people with 10,000 coins stopped bidding.

100,000 yuan each time was indeed quite scary to the three of them. It also meant that the three of them did not have enough budget and were purely trying to take advantage of the situation.

Qin Lin was vexed.

He had met his match. He just did not know how much this person's budget was now.

"Forget it. Let's just go with the flow. It depends on fate," Qin Lin muttered and directly placed a bid of 1.2 million. The starting price was doubled.

Wasn't it just scaring people? Let's see who would scare who.

Anyway, he had earned this money without any capital.

If the other party continued to snatch with him, he would treat it as a lack of fate.

At this moment,

In a room, the three young men were already looking at the computer proudly.

One of them smiled and said, "I knew it. Adding 100,000 yuan in one go must have frightened these three dilly-dallying fellows. If we grind with them for 11,000 yuan, we might even spend more than 100,000 yuan."

When one was young, one had to have the spirit to work hard and start a business. The three young men were like this. They had worked as travel planners in the city previously. After accumulating a few years of experience, they wanted to return to their hometown to start a business.

They also felt that Fuhai Villa had a lot of potentials, so they raised a sum of money and planned to bid for it.

The three of them were in a good mood when they saw that the increase in price had frightened the other bidders.

"q43 bids 1.2 million!"

The latest bid came from the computer.

"Damn, there's someone stirring up trouble?" a young man said in frustration.

1.2 million?

When they saw this price, the three of them were stunned.

Did he increase the bid by 400,000?

"This person is crazy!"

"How f*cking willful!"

The three of them complained.

They did not know if this fellow was bluffing by adding 400,000 yuan, but they knew that their additional 100,000 yuan was definitely a bluff.

Some people had been frightened, but someone else was even more ruthless.

"Are you still… following?" someone asked.

The other two were also conflicted. This was far beyond their budget.

One of them sighed and said, "Why don't we forget it? We're still young anyway. We'll still have a chance."

"Wait a little longer!" the other person said.

"Then let's wait a little longer!" a third person said.

…

"Congratulations to Q43 for successfully bidding for Fuhai Villa. You can pay the money according to the information received backstage and go through the relevant procedures."

Qin Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

It seemed like the other party was also bluffing. His actions had frightened the other party.

With the auction at the villa, Qin Lin did not want to delay it. He went straight to the court and planned to settle the procedures first and pay 1.2 million yuan.

However, the procedures for such a large sum of money were very troublesome. Not only did he have to receive a ruling confirmation in the court, but he also had to get the relevant departments to cooperate with him.

These procedures would take at least a few days to review.

However, after paying 1.2 million yuan and receiving the verdict and receipt, these procedures could be slowly handled. After all, this auction was recovered by the tax bureau, and no department would interfere. If word got out, it would destroy their official credibility.

In the evening.

Qin Lin received the ripe strawberries and okra and sent them to RT-Mart. After a day of income, his bank balance broke through from 80,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan.

After that, he rode the electric scooter to the tax bureau to pick Zhao Moqing up from work again, wanting to tell her the good news about Fuhai Villa.

Zhao Moqing quickly came out with a smile.

"Moqing, something good seems to have happened today?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

Zhao Moqing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm happy that there will be more bonuses this month. The things our tax bureau sent to the auction today are very effective. They exceed the estimated value of the items."

"Especially Fuhai Villa. It seems like a tycoon has taken a liking to it and directly bid 1.2 million yuan."

"This is much more than what we expected. Everyone even said that the others were frightened. If there was anyone else who raised the price, this spendthrift who doesn't lack money would probably pay a higher price."

"…" Qin Lin.

Rich? A spendthrift who did not lack money?

Was she talking about him?

He suddenly did not want to share this happy news with her.

He had to make this villa popular and give her a huge surprise.

Zhao Moqing continued, "However, if they can spend so much money to bid for Fuhai Villa, they must be serious about developing it, right?"

"To be honest, there are so many wastelands in the villa. If we can plant a sea of gorgeous triangular plum blossom, it can attract a lot of people."

Qin Lin silently remembered Zhao Moqing's words.

The triangular sea of plum blossoms had to be arranged first.

Chapter 24

In the next three days, Qin Lin completed the procedures related to the court. However, the other relevant departments still needed three days to review and approve the documents.

He was already fast. He had heard that it was common for some French auction houses to review and approve it for months or more than half a year.

Over the past three days, other than harvesting 116,076 yuan, with the game in his mind, along with the game coins he had earned from fishing and planting the okra in the new six slots, he had finally upgraded the level 3 slot.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to go to the seed shop in Ore Town.

As the level 3 land upgraded, the level 3 seeds that could be bought also lit up.

After a rough look, there were seeds such as multi-core four-edged beans, yellow heart gourds, green-skinned kiwis, and milk strawberries…

These were all light luxury goods among vegetables and fruits in the market. The plants outside often cost hundreds of kilograms.

There was also a seed that surprised Qin Lin. There was a star in front of this seed, which was especially eye-catching.

When one paid attention to the star's symbol, there was a note that represented a mysterious treasure. It was very rare, and it was a level 3 seed randomly refreshed in the shop.

[Seed of seedless watermelon (Quality 2)]

[A seed that has been specially cultivated. The watermelon planted tastes delicious. There is no planting season restriction, and the growth cycle is extremely short.]

This seed had a Quality 2? This was the first time he saw it. The watermelons planted should all be Quality 2. Furthermore, there was no planting season restriction and the cycle was extremely short. This was awesome.

The moment he saw this seed, many thoughts surfaced in Qin Lin's mind.

This thing was amazing.

Other than that, level 3 land could also plant some higher-level ornamental plants.

When he saw a seven-colored flower bud, he immediately thought of Zhao Moqing's words: Triangle Plum Blossoms Sea.

Qin Lin immediately took out his phone and searched online. He realized that this multi-colored flower was a high-level seedling.

Multi-colored symbiosis was to graft the colors of the multi-colored plum tree together, allowing a flower of several colors to grow. It was very beautiful and very ornamental.

Naturally, the more colors there were, the more valuable they were.

On the Internet, after a three-colored symbiotic ornamental seedling was cultivated, each one was no less than 3,000 yuan. A five-colored symbiotic seedling could even reach 5,000 yuan.

In the game, there was seven-colored symbiosis, but it was very rare. This was because three-colored and five-colored symbiosis were easy to nurture, but seven-colored symbiosis was very difficult.

Qin Lin was planning to surprise Zhao Moqing with a triangular sea of plum blossoms. Wasn't this a coincidence?

Furthermore, buying this villa was indeed a very good plan.

The ordinary triangular sea of plum blossoms could attract many people. He had seven colors and was even a game product with attribute bonuses. Was he afraid that no one would come?

There was no triangular sea of plum blossoms in the vicinity of Youcheng County and Sand City.

If he could use this kind of game to create a triangular sea of plum blossoms in the villa, it would definitely be a big highlight and a selling point.

Furthermore, the temperature in the south was relatively high. The triangular plum blossom period would only start in mid-November, and it would still take two months.

When the time came, the triangular plum blossom viewing ticket would be charged 50 yuan.

With 100 people every day, there were 5,000 tickets alone.

200 people meant 10,000 yuan.

If the publicity was good, there would be even more people.

At that time, would the vegetables and fruits he planted in the game still need to be supplied?

He could just find a place in the villa to build a natural fruit and vegetable supermarket. The things produced by the game were even more delicious. Wasn't he afraid that no one would buy them? Why did he need to let others earn the difference?

Wasn't this wonderful?

After buying the villa, he naturally wanted to develop his career.

Qin Lin did as he thought and immediately clicked on the colorful ornamental triangular plum plant to buy it.

"Seven-color ornamental triangular plum blossoms (group): a special kind of seedling, after it matures, you can obtain beautiful ornamental triangular plum blossom plants. A group of seedings can randomly obtain 20-30 mature plants.

Maturity: 3 days."

Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to plant the group of seedlings he had bought into the Grade 3 land.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. Qin Lin finally completed the relevant procedures of Fuhai Villa.

When he changed its name at the Industry and Commerce Bureau and obtained a business license, health permit, and all other relevant documents, he completely heaved a sigh of relief.

From today onwards, Fuhai Villa belonged to him, but he had changed its name to Qinglin Villa.

Spring was dense and secluded. He naturally wanted to fly around and not do anything!

How poetic was that?

Of course, this was nonsense. He was just combining his and Zhao Moqing's name,

Over the past three days, he had earned 120,146 yuan from sending strawberries and okra to RT-Mart. His savings had reached 353,419 yuan.

After taking all kinds of procedures home, Qin Lin rode the electric scooter out of the county city and headed for Fuhai Villa.

Fuhai Villa was less than 30 minutes away from the county city. It was very close. Furthermore, it was at the intersection of Sand City, the city, and Youcheng County. There were many cars coming and going.

This position was excellent, but the previous person in charge did not know how to operate it.

It had to be known that even a lousy place like East Lake was located in a remote area. It could be done well with fishing and farming.

This place was much better and had better potential. It had been forcefully turned into a place for a few corrupt people to eat.

More importantly, they were still bragging here. They had been recorded and posted online. What era was this?

Qin Lin had been to Fuhai Villa once in the past, but this time, his mentality and feeling were always different.

This was already his own industry.

When Qin Lin arrived, he parked the small electric car in the parking lot and chose to walk into the villa to observe carefully.

How big were 500 acres? It was probably 47 large football fields.

Of course, he had only spent 1.2 million yuan. There was no need to think about how much these 500 acres had been developed. Most of them were wastelands.

The most important thing was the main building. Other than a decent reception hall and a few dormitories, there were only a few simple construction areas. They were all half open-air private rooms.

These private rooms were provided to tourists. There was also a kitchen and a barbecue table outside the private rooms.

Most tourists who came to this kind of villa to play didn't want to cook themselves?

That kind of fun cooking was completely different from cooking at home.

Of course, the villa also had its own kitchen. There were always some people who would not cook or did not want to cook. They could order dishes for the chef.

Not far away, there was a vegetable garden in an area that tourists could pick themselves.

There was also a fish pond that could not be seen.

What made Qin Lin happy was that there were also fun settings like swings and jungle adventures behind. There was also a grass slide project.

These settings did not cost much. The gameplay was simple, but at least the guests could play.

Furthermore, there were some potted plants around these facilities. They were considered dispensable highlights.

Not far from the main building, he saw two tall trees that were dozens of meters tall. The branches had withered, and the atmosphere was heavy.

However, these two withered trees were especially surrounded by stones. There were also traces of fertilizer. They should be trying to live.

There was a sign on it: 500-year-old Ancient Ginkgo.

Was this still two ginkgo trees?

It reminded him of the thousand-year-old ginkgo planted by Li Shimin. It was still an Internet-famous celebrity tree.

However, it was obvious that not all ginkgo was as lucky as that one. They had received the best care in a thousand years and were still in their prime.

These two were already about to die.

Not only was birth important, but so were trees!

Other than that, the rest of the villa was a bare wasteland, especially the reservoir. It was probably randomly circled in back then and no one had ever thought to use it.

How should he evaluate it? With his vision as a tourism management major, he could only say that he had just passed in a place like Youcheng County. If he was in the vicinity of the city, he would not even have passed.

Simply put, there was nothing eye-catching that could attract customers.

Therefore, if he wanted to develop the villa, he had to come up with an attractive highlight. The triangular sea of plum blossoms had to be carried out.

As Qin Lin was thinking, a notification appeared on the game screen in his mind. It was that the level three seven-colored symbiotic flower stalk had finally formed. Calculating the time, it should take three days for a batch to form. The time was six times that of the strawberries and okra.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to harvest the colorful triangular plum plants.

[Obtained 25 stalks of seven-colored symbiotic ornamental triangular plum!]

This time, the triangles were not stored in the storage room. Instead, they were stored in a yard behind the ranch.

Then, he controlled the game character to buy a new seven-colored symbiotic flower seedling (group) and replant it.

After that, Qin Lin walked to the toilet in the hall and entered a cubicle. Then, he entered the game.

In the game, he went straight to the courtyard where the colorful triangular plum trees were stored.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, his eyes lit up.

At first glance, he saw 25 triangular plums lined up together. The seven colors intertwined, giving him a very beautiful and stunning feeling. It was a very comfortable and pleasing sight. His gaze could not help but be attracted.

This was much more beautiful than the 5,000 five-colored symbiotic triangular plum trees on the Internet.

When he controlled the game character to pick them, he easily brought these triangular plums to the courtyard. However, when he came closer, these triangular plums were actually taller than him. The roots were even wrapped in transplanted soil.

Then, he touched a triangular plum and saw the notification.

[Perpetual flower-type triangular plum plant: Quality 2]

[This is a special species of ornamental triangular plum. It's 2.5 meters tall, 2 meters tall, and 12 centimeters tall. It's very beautiful and has an extremely high ornamental value. Furthermore, it's easy to transplant. It blossoms all year.]

[Game product: Gorgeous +2, Viewability +2, Attraction +2, Feeling Good +2, Entering the Mirror +2, Transplantation Life Rate +2!]

Qin Lin was surprised. No wonder it could attract people at a glance.

It actually had so many attributes.

What did it mean to have flowers all year round?

The temperature in the south was special. The triangular plum blossom period was about November to June, and the triangular plum blossom period in the north was about the same.

However, there were definitely very few flowers in bloom all year.

Some ornamental triangular plums might be able to last for an entire year, but it was impossible for them to reach a scale.

The sea of flowers made from this seven-colored ornamental triangular plum plant could bloom all year round. Furthermore, the game had additional attributes.

That would be terrifying.

It was also equivalent to collecting money all year long.

Chapter 25

Qin Lin knew very well the attraction of the seven-colored, symbiotic, and ornamental triangular plum planted in this Level-3 land.

Gorgeous +2, ornamental +2, Attraction +2. He was attracted the moment he entered.

The camera +2 should have an additional effect like taking photos or videos.

Needless to say, this was the most useful to him.

If he wanted to build a triangular sea of plum blossoms in Qinglin Villa, he had to bring these triangular plum blossoms out to play and transplant them into reality.

These seven-colored, symbiotic, and ornamental triangular plum plants were easy to transplant to begin with. Furthermore, they had a +2 survival rate. This was not a problem.

Qin Lin came out of the game and planned to find a place to move a seven-colored symbiotic flower. However, as soon as he came out of the toilet, he saw a pure girl wearing a white shirt and jeans looking at him warily. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The girl still looked like a high school girl. She might even be a minor.

Qin Lin was stunned and asked, "I'm the boss here. Why can't I be here? Who are you?"

"You're the new boss?" The girl looked surprised. "Then will you fire the previous employees?"

"Are you an employee here?" Qin Lin asked subconsciously.

This pure girl looked a little young. He did not know if she was an adult.

The pure girl's guard seemed to have dropped after knowing that he was the boss. She jogged forward and introduced herself. "Boss, I'm Gao Yaoyao. I was in charge of jungle exploration and rainbow grass ticketing. Do you still want your original employee?"

She was really an employee of the villa.

Qin Lin looked at Gao Yaoyao and subconsciously asked, "Um, you're an adult?"

Gao Yaoyao hurriedly said, "Boss, I've already graduated from a junior high school. I'm 19 years old. I can show you my identity card."

Qin Lin was relieved that she was not underage. He thought about it and asked, "How many employees did this villa originally have?"

He did need employees. If the original employees were not bad, he could keep them. The pure girl in front of him was very suitable for the tourism industry. If she had some talent, she might be able to do well in those famous scenic spots.

It was a waste to be a small ticket seller in this small villa.

However, this was also because she was young and had not seen much of the world. She had not been polluted by all kinds of comparisons in university. Otherwise, her heart would definitely be floating and she would not care about this kind of job.

Gao Yaoyao explained, "Other than me, there's also a security guard, a registrar, a cashier, four chefs, and…!"

"Wait, four chefs?" Qin Lin was stunned.

This villa still needed four chefs?

Most of the people who came here to play cooked themselves, okay?

Gao Yaoyao nodded and said, "I think only Master Lin cooks. The other three are the head chef and the deputy head chef!"

"Huh?!" Qin Lin was stunned.

He roughly understood what was going on.

This villa was originally a place for a few corrupt people to eat and drink. The person in charge was White Gloves. Perhaps this head chef and deputy head chef were also here to earn a salary.

Qin Lin asked again, "Gao Yaoyao, do any of the original employees know woodworking?"

"Master Lin knows!" Gao Yaoyao replied. "Other than cooking, he also knows how to fix tables. Many of the broken shelves were fixed by Master Lin."

Qin Lin asked again, "Then is there anyone else who knows how to garden? For example, those who have some experience in transplanting and taking care of plants. I think the villa has many potted plants. Someone should be in charge, right?"

Gao Yaoyao replied, "Master Lin, he's also in charge of the vegetable garden. He's also in charge of transplanting those potted plants. Yes, we also help water them sometimes. By the way, Master Lin has always wanted to save those two ginkgo trees, but he never succeeded."

Qin Lin was stunned.

Why did he feel that Master Lin was like an animal? He did everything.

Inviting one employee felt like it was worth a few.

Qin Lin thought about it and asked, "Gao Yaoyao, do you have the contact number of your previous employee?"

"We have a WeChat group," Gao Yaoyao replied.

Qin Lin said decisively, "Other than the head chef and sous chef, help me ask if the others are willing to continue, especially Master Lin."

Anyway, he had to hire employees. Instead of using strangers, he might as well use those who were familiar with this place. He would see if they suited him later. If not, he could just hire someone else to replace him.

"Boss, Master Lin will definitely be willing, but he should make a request related to those two ginkgo trees. I'll ask the others." Gao Yaoyao immediately looked happy and took out her phone to open WeChat.

The reason Qin Lin asked this was also because he wanted to create a triangular plum blossom sea. When he transplanted it, he also asked the construction team to build some fences, stone roads, swings, pavilions, and so on. They had to be watched.

After a while, Gao Yaoyao said, "Boss, I've asked. Other than the cashier who has already found a new job, the others are willing to continue working. They'll all come over tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then you can go back first. Come back tomorrow." Qin Lin planned to send Gao Yaoyao away and get one of the triangular plums in the game first.

"Boss, I'm actually staying in the villa's dormitory. I didn't rent a house in the county," Gao Yaoyao said immediately. "If you still want to see the villa, I can introduce you."

There was no other way. Gao Yaoyao could not take out the triangular plum in the villa.

Qin Lin could only give up and leave the villa.

He did not want his secret to be discovered.

When he returned to the county, the first thing he did was to find a studio with a custom signboard and customize a retro signboard. When the time came, he would change the signboard of Fuhai Villa.

Then, he planned the placement of the triangular plum sea.

The triangular sea of plum blossoms was distributed and dense, and the dense natural cost was higher. The effect was more shocking and beautiful.

If a dense triangular sea of plum blossoms was shocking enough, it had to be at least 20 acres. Other than the stone path, swing, stone chair, pavilion, and special photo stands, there had to be at least 10,000 triangular plum blossoms.

Of course, it was impossible for all 10,000 of these to be Level-3 seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums. After all, there were only 25 stalks in three days. 5,000 stalks meant 600 days. Wasn't this a joke?

This seven-colored ornamental triangular plum was only suitable for the main body, so other triangular plums were needed to decorate it.

If he spent a month, it would be enough to have 250 2.5-meter-tall, two-meter-long crowns, and 12-centimeter-tall seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums as the main body.

Qin Lin remembered that there were also lower-level ornamental triangular plum seedlings in the game. He immediately looked at the screen in his mind and controlled the game character to go to the seed shop in Ore Town to search. Indeed, he found ordinary ornamental triangular plum seedlings in the Level 2 land. There were also several colors.

He went online and checked. This kind of ornamental plant was also not cheap. It was about 400 yuan each and could grow to dozens of centimeters tall.

This was very good.

The game would definitely have attribute bonuses, and its value would far exceed 400.

However, there was a problem. Game coins were needed to buy both seven-colored symbiotic and ordinary ornamental seedlings.

Qin Lin thought about it and planned to stop growing strawberries in Level 2 lands. He would use them all to plant ordinary ornamental triangular plums and tell Manager Chen that the strawberries were out of stock.

The newly planted okra continued to be sold in the game to buy seedlings.

However, he could still get 25 ordinary triangular plums in a day in a Level 2 land. The maturity period was one day. This way, he could get more than 4,500 ordinary triangular plums in a month.

Even so, there were still less than 10,000 stalks. There were still more than 5,000 stalks.

However, with the foundation of these game-produced triangular plums, it should not be a problem to decorate the periphery with ordinary triangular plums in reality.

Therefore, he could buy more than 5,000 ordinary triangular plums. This way, he could hide it a little to prevent others from suspecting the origins of those triangular plums.

Qin Lin went online to check. Although ordinary triangular plums were far inferior to those produced by games, they were beautiful and there were many types of beautiful ones.

He chose a cultivation base in the city. One stalk was 30 yuan, and more than 5,000 stalks were only 150,000 yuan. Furthermore, he could just pay 20% of the deposit in the beginning.

He simply placed an order for 10,000 stalks.

Since he wanted to do it, he would get 10 more acres. He would make the sea of flowers bigger and use these 10,000 stalks to decorate the nearly 5,000 stalks produced by the game.

Normally, it would cost at least a few million yuan to get a triangular sea of plum blossoms of this scale, but he only needed to spend 300,000 yuan.

Furthermore, others could not get so many seven-colored triangular plums, let alone have the game attribute bonus.

As long as this sea of flowers was publicized well, it would definitely become a popular attraction in Youcheng County and Sand City.

As long as enough people were attracted, the things planted in the game could be produced and sold at the villa.

Chapter 26

The next day.

When Qin Lin woke up, Wang Cai was squatting outside the door, as usual, stretching his head in anticipation of his rub.

Lin Fen had already prepared breakfast for him. "Xiao Lin, why are you being so mysterious these days? I went to the shop yesterday and it was closed."

"Mom, didn't I earn some money from doing wholesale previously? I recently established a villa and am handling the procedures. I'll be even busier from tomorrow onwards." Qin Lin did not hide anything. His mother would find out about this sooner or later.

"Xiao Lin, I'll support you in whatever you want to do. If you don't do well in the villa, the shop can continue to open. If it really doesn't work, I think the shop can still do it." Lin Fen knew that her son was ambitious. His family was already a burden to him, so she could only support her son's wishes.

The villa her son was talking about probably cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to rent a place to decorate the farm, right?

After all, his son did not have many funds.

This was also what she was worried about. This was because many people did this, but it would not last long.

"Mom, rest well. Don't worry about me." Qin Lin was very confident now. He believed that he would make the villa popular.

After breakfast, Wang Cai took the opportunity to follow him out.

Qin Lin picked the ripe okra in the morning and sent it to the RT-Mart. He waited until the afternoon before the game scene in his mind reminded him that the 6 plots of triangular plum were ripe.

Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to arrive in front of the six plots of land. Indeed, there was a notification that it could be plucked.

He chose different colors for six plots, so the color of the triangular plums in each plot was different. There were about 25 stalks.

He controlled the game character to pick them and finally obtained a total of 153 ordinary ornamental triangular plums.

Then, Qin Lin controlled the game character to enter the seed shop in Ore Town to buy a new ordinary triangular plum seedling (group) and plant it again.

After that, he headed to the warehouse again.

When Qin Lin arrived at the warehouse, he instructed Wang Cai, who had jumped out of the car, "Wang Cai, watch outside."

"Woof!" Wang Cai responded to the order and wandered back and forth at the door as if it was patrolling.

Qin Lin then closed the warehouse door and entered the game.

After entering the courtyard where the triangular plums were stored, other than the 25 ornamental-type triangular plums, there were 153 ordinary ornamental-type triangular plums in the courtyard.

When these triangular plums were placed together, they seemed to be a sea of flowers. They were beautiful, fragrant, and abnormally dazzling.

Qin Lin went forward and touched an ordinary-looking triangular plum plant. He saw the note:

[Yellow flower type ornamental triangular plum plant: Quality 1]

[This is a special species of ornamental triangular plum. It's 60 centimeters tall, 70 centimeters in the crown, and 4 centimeters on top of its head. It's a game product and is very beautiful. It has a higher ornamental value than ordinary plants of the same type. Furthermore, it's easy to transplant. It blossoms all year!]

[Game product: Gorgeous +2, Viewability +2, Attraction +2, Feeling Good +2, Entering the Mirror +2, Transplantation Life Rate +2!]

He looked at the others. Other than the different colors, the notes were the same.

This ordinary ornamental triangular plum was clearly much worse than the seven-colored symbiosis. Not only was it in appearance, but it was also only of Quality 1.

However, a game product was still more entertaining than a similar plant. That +1 increase was not a joke.

In addition, it was easy to transplant and bloom all year round. It was the same as the seven-colored symbiotic flower.

Then, Qin Lin went forward and touched these triangular plum plants. With a thought, a triangular plum followed him into reality.

After repeatedly entering and exiting the game, he spent some time moving all these plants out of the game.

However, now that this thing had been moved out of the game, how to transport it to the villa was a problem.

His lousy car could not transport this thing. He could not carry the seven-colored, symbiotic, and ornamental triangular plum stalk of Quality 2.

Qin Lin could only take out his phone to contact a special transport team. There was a special transport company in the logistics park.

He had memorized phone numbers in the past.

He was transporting them for a short distance. He had to call a special transport team for these 178 triangular plums. The starting price of each car was 85 yuan, and then it was calculated at 5 yuan per kilometer.

After Qin Lin contacted the transport team, he added them on WeChat and sent them a deposit and location. Soon, a convoy arrived.

The area in front of the warehouse was not big. Coupled with the transportation tools, the trucks could only be loaded one by one.

"Is Mr. Qin transporting these triangular plums?" The supervisor leading the team was called Zhao Liyuan.

When he looked at the triangular plums in the warehouse, he revealed a surprised expression.

These triangular plums were too beautiful and mesmerizing.

It was not that he had not seen the triangular plum blossoms before. He had even been to the triangular plum blossoms sea in Xia City. However, compared to the ones in front of him, it seemed like the ones in Xia City were far inferior.

He was attracted the moment he came in. Furthermore, these triangular plums were very comforting to look at.

This was naturally the effect of the game's attributes.

"Mr. Qin, is your villa going to have a triangular plum blossom sea?" Zhao Liyuan said as he subconsciously took out his phone to take a photo. However, he realized that the triangular plum blossom was surprisingly beautiful on camera. The feeling of taking a photo was different.

This was naturally the effect of the entry attribute!

"That's right. I want to make a triangular plum blossom sea!" Qin Lin nodded.

"Then I'll definitely bring my wife to take a look!" Zhao Liyuan immediately made a decision. Just this alone gave people this feeling. If it really formed a sea of flowers, how beautiful would it be? Just thinking about it made one know that it was beautiful scenery to enjoy.

His wife would definitely like that beautiful scenery too.

The transport team also began to move. They had special starting tools to move those triangular plums to the car.

Zhao Liyuan put down his phone and lit a cigarette for himself. He asked, "Mr. Qin, these triangular plums are very beautiful, especially those with many colors. They shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Yes, just look at the color. A three-colored one is more than 3,000 yuan, and a five-colored one is more than 5,000 yuan. My seven-colored one is very rare. It's difficult to determine the price!"

"Ahem… Ahem!" Zhao Liyuan had just taken a puff when he heard the price. He hurriedly said to the employees, "Be careful. Be gentle. Don't hit these triangular plums."

No kidding. A five-colored one was more than 5,000 yuan. How expensive was a seven-colored one?

Just the 25 stalks were astronomical. Those short ones should not be cheap.

How much was their transportation fee?

If they accidentally broke one, their transportation fees would not be enough to compensate.

After spending some time loading all these triangular plums into the car, the convoy set off for the villa.

Qin Lin also set off with the transport car. He was in a good mood and began to look forward to the triangular sea of flowers he was about to build.

However, there was something he had to settle.

His family still owed a lot of foreign debts. The online contract he had signed for 10,000 ordinary triangular plums had only paid a deposit. The money on his card was still enough to repay his debts!

Chapter 27

Soon.

The convoy arrived at the villa.

However, such a big car could only be parked in the parking lot of the villa. There was no way to drive it inside.

Qin Lin parked his tricycle. Wang Cai jumped out of the car and followed closely beside him.

"Mr. Qin, are we going to unload it in this parking lot?" Zhao Liyuan went forward and asked.

"Yes, we'll unload here." Qin Lin nodded. This was the only place where they could unload.

Zhao Liyuan began to bring people to unload the goods. The money for unloading was calculated separately. The electronic contract had been signed before they came.

Qin Lin also walked into the villa.

Wang Cai cried twice and hurriedly followed. Along the way, it looked around and barked, very curious about the new environment.

When Qin Lin saw this, he smiled and said, "Wang Cai, this will be your territory from now on. Are you happy?"

Wang Cai seemed to understand its master's words. It barked twice and suddenly ran. Along the way, it would stretch its nose in front of some plants and smell them. Then, it would raise its legs in satisfaction and pee.

Qin Lin looked at the dog's behavior with a stunned expression. It was marking its territory just like that?

In the villa.

Other than Gao Yaoyao, there were already a few more people. They were all original employees. When they received Gao Yaoyao's notice yesterday, they had already been waiting.

It was not easy to find a job in modern society. The salary of the villa was not bad in Youcheng County, where everyone had a salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. No one wanted to lose their job.

"It's the new boss!" When Gao Yaoyao saw Qin Lin arrive, she immediately introduced him to the others.

The others also looked at this new boss curiously.

He was very young and even came with a dog.

This was their first impression of Qin Lin.

"Boss!" Gao Yaoyao ran to Qin Lin and greeted him.

Qin Lin asked, "Gao Yaoyao, which one is Master Lin?"

"Master Lin, Boss is looking for you," Gao Yaoyao immediately shouted at a dark-skinned man in his 50s.

Master Lin went forward and said before Qin Lin could speak, "Boss, I can work for you, but you have to let me save those two ginkgo trees. You can't cut them down."

This request stunned Qin Lin.

Other people's requests for their boss were more wages. This was the first time he heard someone make such a request.

Gao Yaoyao immediately explained, "Boss, wasn't there a special period in the past? Master Lin's house was targeted. Because this place was still very remote, Master Lin's grandfather brought his family here to escape. The family lived under two ginkgo trees for a long time. Master Lin's grandfather also died under these ginkgo trees."

"After that, Master Lin's father brought his family back. Previously, Master Lin did all kinds of tiring work because of this."

"Master Lin, I agree to your request. We'll sign the employment contract later. Come to the parking lot with me first. There's something I want you to be responsible for." Qin Lin did not want to cut the two withered trees. Furthermore, he finally understood why Master Lin had done everything in the villa previously. It was to protect the trees.

This was an unforgettable emotion for the older generation.

This kind of person usually valued feelings and was trustworthy.

Qin Lin brought Master Lin to the parking lot.

Gao Yaoyao and the other employees followed curiously.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhao Liyuan had already brought people to unload a portion of the triangular plum plants.

"Boss, is this the triangular plum you bought? It's so beautiful!" Gao Yaoyao exclaimed. She was clearly attracted to the triangular plum.

The other employees were the same. They could not help but go forward to take a look. These triangular plums were really too beautiful.

Master Lin was attracted to those triangular plums as well. He liked beautiful things regardless of age. He asked, "Boss, are you going to get a triangular plum blossom sea in the villa?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "That's right. I plan to build a triangular plum blossom sea. I'll probably build 30 acres. More than 15,000 triangular plums will be sent over one after another. Master Lin, Gao Yaoyao said that you know how to plant flowers. I plan to let you be in charge of this."

Master Lin was immediately shocked and said, "Boss, do you think I'm an animal? 30 acres, 15,000 stalks. I can't do it. I want more people!"

Qin Lin naturally knew that there were more than 15,000 triangular plums in 30 acres. Master Lin could not do it alone. He definitely had to hire a landscaper or an experienced farmer to transplant the triangular plums.

Master Lin had clearly misunderstood. Was he being exploited by the person in charge of the villa?

He did not want Master Lin to transplant the triangular plum alone. It was just that he had experience in this aspect and he wanted him to supervise.

"Master Lin, I'll get more people to help with the transplant," Qin Lin explained. "When the time comes, just keep an eye on them. When the sea of flowers is done, I'll hire two long-term gardeners for daily maintenance."

When Master Lin heard this, he nodded and promised to keep an eye on the plants.

The 178 triangular plums were quickly unloaded.

Qin Lin paid the rest happily and did not forget to say, "Supervisor Zhao, I still need you to come over tomorrow. Besides, I might have to trouble you every day for the next month."

"Boss Qin, just contact me," Zhao Liyuan said readily.

Transportation was not easy now, and it was not easy for him as the fleet's supervisor either. He definitely would accept this job that was delivered to his mouth.

Although he was puzzled as to why Boss Qin did not directly transport the items to that warehouse, it was none of his business as long as he could earn money.

After all, some rich people had many hobbies.

For example, his boss had a strange habit. He clearly had a house, but he insisted on buying another one secretly. He had a wife at home, but he did not sleep with her. Instead, he often used the excuse of going on a business trip to sleep alone in another house.

Wasn't he rich and free?

After Zhao Liyuan left with the convoy, Qin Lin also interviewed a few of the original employees in the villa. It gave off a good first impression and did not disgust anyone at first sight. As for later, he would take his time to see.

On the other hand, the labor contract was a problem. He had no experience in this aspect. In the end, he could only find the original contract sample of the villa. He planned to go back and print it out with this original contract before signing it with Gao Yaoyao and the others tomorrow.

After that, he followed Master Lin around the 500 acres of land in the villa. If he wanted to build this 30 acres of triangular plum blossom sea, he had to choose a suitable place.

After more than an hour, they finally decided to place the triangular sea of flowers on the ground north of the villa's hall.

Since he wanted to build a sea of flowers, the 30 acres of land naturally had to be wide open. The geographical difference could not be too great. If the difference in location was too great, there would be a gap, and the effect of the dense sea of flowers would not be displayed.

After deciding, Qin Lin returned to the county city and contacted a construction company with the best reputation.

A company like Youcheng County had mixed business. It was also covered by gardeners and experienced farmers who knew how to transplant flowers. However, the labor fee reached 400 yuan a day.

After signing the contract and paying the deposit, the company's people immediately entered the villa to start the initial inspection. It only ended in the evening.

However, after dark, the triangular plums in the parking lot became a problem.

These triangular plums were not cheap. He could only get the previous security guard, Chen Dabei, to guard them at night. It was a good opportunity to see how their character was.

After arranging everything, Qin Lin planned to go back to the county city. The triangular plum blossom sea had begun to be built, and it was time to settle the debts at home.

Sooner or later, the people he knew would know about him doing this villa, especially those to whom he was indebted. Before the debt was settled, there might be people who thought he had money to settle the villa but still refused to repay his debt.

The creditors were all his parents' relatives and friends. If they could lend his family money, they had a connection with his family. Even if they did not think so, the people around them would always fan the flames.

Even if later on, he returned the money, some relationships would deteriorate.

Humans were complicated creatures after all.

Therefore, the debt had to be repaid. Even if others knew later on that he had built this villa, it would give them a different feeling.

As he thought about this, Qin Lin picked up his phone and opened his contact list. He had recorded the names of all the debtors in his family on his phone. Other than Qin Ren's father's 50,000 yuan, and some that he had returned every month for the past year, he still had more than 330,000 yuan of debt.

Qin Lin called the first number. As soon as the call was picked up, he said, "Uncle Ergen, have you eaten… You've already eaten… Can I invite you over tonight… Yes, I earned some money. I'll pay you back the money my father owes you first…"

After hanging up, he called the next number until he called all the creditors. They were all elders from the same village.

Actually, it was better for him to take the initiative to return the money.

However, he wanted to resolve his mother's worries. His mother still had his father's photo. She nagged every day, feeling that if she did not repay the money at home and could not see him marry and have children, his father would not be able to rest in peace.

After putting down the phone, he went to the warehouse and took out some ordinary wild fish from the game to put in the bucket of the tricycle. Then, he covered it with a cloth and drove back to his district.

At this moment, Uncle Ergen and the others had already finished their meal. Qin Lin had to prepare some gifts as a courtesy of inviting them to his house.

These ordinary wild fish were not light and were also very good gifts.

When she returned home, Lin Fen had already prepared dinner and was waiting.

"You can eat now," Lin Fen shouted. After Qin Lin sat down, she asked, "Xiao Lin, why are you so late today? How's your farmhouse?"

"I'm already on the right track. I'll be a little busy recently," Qin Lin replied.

Lin Fen reminded, "Xiao Lin, don't neglect Mo Qing. She's such a good girl…"

Lin Fen did not say anything else. She was naturally worried that if such a good girl became someone else's daughter-in-law, he would never be able to find another one.

However, she was even more helpless because she was useless. Her family was in a mess, and she owed so much money. Her son did not have a house or a car, so why would Zhao Moqing's parents agree to marry him?

Chapter 28

Lin Fen sighed and did not forget to remind Qin Lin, "Remember to let me go when it opens. I'll help you greet the guests."

Qin Lin immediately said, "Mom, how can I let you serve the guests?"

Lin Fen snorted unhappily. "I'm not in good health, but I'm happy to have my son open for business."

"Mom, I'll wash the dishes later!" When Qin Lin heard Lin Fen's words, he smiled. It was good to have his mother.

After dinner, Qin Lin packed the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Lin Fen looked at her busy son and sighed again. Her son had been sensible since he was young. He was too worry-free compared to his peers. It was their fault as parents.

After washing the dishes, Qin Lin remembered about the creditors and did not forget to remind her, "Mom, I invited Uncle Ergen and the others over. They should be here soon…"

Lin Fen was stunned. She was about to say something when the doorbell rang. She hurriedly opened the door and looked at the person outside with a bitter expression. "Ergen, you're here?"

The other party was the family's creditor. The family owed him 30,000 yuan.

What she was most afraid of now was to see these creditors. Her family really did not have the money to repay them.

"Sister-in-law Lin Fen." Qin Ergen greeted Lin Fen and asked, "Is Lin Zi back?"

"Xiao Lin, your Uncle Ergen is here." No matter how bitter Lin Fen felt, she could only invite him in.

Back then, she had borrowed money to treat her husband. Although she had not saved him, she could not hide from her creditors. One had to have a conscience.

As soon as she welcomed Qin Ergen in, Lin Fen heard a surprised voice. "Ergen, you're here too?"

Qin Ergen greeted the person and smiled. "Dalin, you're here too? Your snack bar opened?"

"It's still being renovated," Qin Dalin said with a smile.

As the two of them conversed, someone else came from behind.

"Ergen, Dalin, you're here too."

"You guys are here too."

Lin Fen sighed silently. These were all the people who had lent her family money back then. Her son had really invited these people.

People were afraid of creditors coming to their door, but if they owed a debt, they had to welcome them warmly.

She forced a smile and led these people in. She took out a cup and poured water for Qin Ergen and the others.

Qin Ergen and the others filled the small living room. Wang Cai was shocked to see so many people. He quickly got up and ran to the kitchen to look for Qin Lin.

When Qin Lin came out and saw Qin Ergen and the others, he immediately came out to welcome them. "Uncle Ergen, Uncle Dalin…"

He was grateful to these creditors. After all, when his father was diagnosed with cancer, they could still borrow money because they knew that their family might be left with an orphan and a widow.

However, Uncle Ergen and the others still lent them money. This was a huge favor.

The key was that he had graduated more than a year. Everyone knew that it was not easy for them, an orphan and a widow. No one had come to rush for the debt.

Sometimes, he was quite envious of his father. Not everyone could gain such affection.

Or rather, the feelings of the older generation were not present in the new generation.

Modern young people had already been eroded by the pressure of life and exaggerated social values and did not have the spare energy to manage such feelings.

When Qin Ergen saw Qin Lin, he praised him from the bottom of his heart, "Xiao Lin, you're really capable. You're even more powerful than those juniors from the village."

Qin Dalin nodded and said, "Xiao Lin has been sensible since he was young. His results are good too. I'll be relieved if our good-for-nothing son is half as sensible as him."

These words were agreed by the others.

Qin Lin was the only child in the village who had entered a key university. The others were all playful. It was just that Qin Lin was unlucky and his family was in a mess.

Lin Fen was naturally happy to hear others praise her son, but then she sighed. Her son was being dragged down by his family.

Qin Ergen praised Qin Lin and took out an IOU to hand to Lin Fen. "Sister-in-law Lin Fen, look. This is my IOU."

Qin Dalin also took out his IOU. "This is mine."

The others took out the IOUs they had brought and placed them on the table.

Since Qin Lin said he wanted to pay them back, they naturally had to bring the IOU.

If the debt was settled, according to ancient logic, the IOU had to be destroyed in person.

Qin Lin was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he hurriedly said, "Mom, I asked Uncle Ergen and the others to come. I earned some money and can pay them back."

After all, a creditor would not be in a good mood if he came knocking. He immediately sat beside his mother and grabbed her hand to comfort her. Then, he generously picked up the IOUs and said, "Uncle Ergen, Uncle Dalin, you brought your phones, right? I'll transfer the money to your bank."

These words stunned Lin Fen. She looked at her son in disbelief.

At this moment, Qin Ergen and the others also took out their phones.

"Xiao Lin, yes, yes."

"Who doesn't have a phone now?"

"Yes, but can you really return it all once?"

Qin Lin did not hesitate. He took the IOUs and checked them one by one. Then, he transferred the money through the bank on his phone. In the blink of an eye, more than 300,000 yuan was transferred. The balance on his card was in danger again!

However, after paying off the money, he was more relaxed. He would treat Uncle Ergen and the others to a meal in a few days. As for this favor, he would slowly repay it in the future.

When Qin Ergen and the others received the transfer message, they all smiled.

Although they had not thought of urging Qin Lin and his mother to return the money, they were still very happy that Qin Lin had returned the money in one go.

Every family had its own difficulties. With this sum of money, it was better to have more money.

Qin Ergen and the others looked at Lin Fen with envy. Although her family was in a mess, she had a good son. It was really enviable.

Qin Lin was amazing. Not only did he not have his parents' help, but he also helped his parents repay hundreds of thousands of debts so quickly.

Which parent did not want their son to have this ability?

Lin Fen clearly felt this gaze and felt mixed emotions.

Qin Ergen and the others did not disturb them any longer. After praising Qin Lin, they bade farewell.

Qin Lin sent them downstairs and opened the bucket covered in cloth on the tricycle. He gave each of them one of the wild fish he had brought home as a small token of appreciation.

"Xiao Lin, are these wild fish?"

Qin Ergen and the others were clearly a little surprised.

"It's a small token. This wild fish is nutritious. Uncles, go back and make some wine to drink."

"Xiao Lin, why are you being so polite?"

"..."

Qin Ergen and the others were clearly very happy. This wild fish was not small and was usually very rare.

After Qin Lin sent Qin Ergen and the others away, he picked up the IOUs again. His mother had signed them. He had been there at that time. Now that he had taken them back, he felt a little emotional.

When he arrived at his father's portrait, he burned all these IOUs to ashes in one go. These debts had once been a mountain that pressed down on him, making him unable to breathe.

Because of the game in his mind, he could finally escape from the quagmire of planting bitterness.

Lin Fen was a little anxious. She asked Qin Lin immediately, "Xiao Lin, tell me honestly, where did you get so much money? Did you do something illegal?"

This was also what she was most worried about. It did not matter if her son was rich or not. She did not want her son to take the wrong path.

Qin Lin guessed that his mother would be worried and had already made up a reason. "Mom, how could I do something illegal? Actually, I caught a wild ornamental fish and sold it for more than 600,000 yuan."

"After that, I used this money to do wholesale. Previously, I either brought back watermelons or wholesale those watermelons. I earned another sum. Other than investing in the villa, I used the rest of the money to repay my debts."

This excuse was actually flawed.

He had mixed up the order of fish and wholesale.

"What fish is worth so much?" Lin Fen could not believe it.

Qin Lin explained, "It's a wild albino tiger. I don't know what's good about this fish, but rich people like it and spend a lot of money to buy it."

With that, Qin Lin took out his phone and showed his mother the tax record of his wild ornamental fish.

Lin Fen had no choice but to believe it now. Her face was filled with disbelief. "There's such an expensive fish? Your father must have blessed you to catch this fish."

A long-lost smile appeared on Lin Fen's face as if she had relaxed a lot.

Qin Lin saw the change in his mother and could not help but smile.

"Xiao Lin, then the villa you're busy with isn't a farmhouse that costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan?" Lin Fen reacted and asked.

"Yes, the villa is not small," Qin Lin said with a nod.

Lin Fen was anxious now and said, "Then hurry up and explain to Moqing. When she came to see me previously, she saw that you didn't tell her about the farmhouse. I thought you had 30,000 to 40,000 yuan farm goods and weren't confident, so I told her to wait for you."

"Moqing is such a good girl. You have to give her something to look forward to. Don't let anyone snatch her away. I only acknowledge her as my daughter-in-law."

"Huh?!" Qin Lin was stunned. He had not said anything because he wanted to give Zhao Moqing a surprise after building the triangular sea of plum blossoms.

Chapter 29

Qin Lin explained, "Mom, I want to surprise Moqing when the villa is done. Don't let Moqing know!"

"You young people like to have surprises!" Lin Fen shook her head.

That night, after Qin Lin finished paying, he felt light and slept especially well.

The next day, he moved the mature okra out of the game early in the morning and sent it to RT-Mart. Then, he printed the labor contract and headed to the villa.

When he arrived at the parking lot of the villa, he saw Chen Dabei, who was wearing a security guard's uniform, sitting in front of a tent and yawning. His face was filled with exhaustion, and it was obvious that he had been looking at triangular plums for the entire night.

The tent belonged to the villa. There were always some couples who wanted to camp at night to prove that they were very bold.

"Boss, you're here." Chen Dabei immediately stood up to greet Qin Lin!

"You've worked hard. Come with me to the hall to sign the labor contract and go back to rest." Qin Lin nodded at the other party.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded and followed.

When they arrived at the hall, Qin Lin asked Gao Yaoyao to call everyone over to sign the contract.

The salary of the contract was written according to these people's original salary. For example, Gao Yaoyao received a commission of 3,500+ yuan. Previously, the more people played jungle adventure and slippery grass, the higher her salary.

Among them, Master Lin had the highest salary. He had a fixed 6,000 yuan because he was originally a chef and had several jobs.

The other employees were similar to Gao Yaoyao.

This salary was nothing in a big city. In Youcheng County, where everyone had a salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, it was considered a normal salary. Furthermore, the villa was covered. If they were willing, they could stay in the few dormitories in the villa like Gao Yaoyao.

This was also the reason why Gao Yaoyao and the others would come back after the villa was sealed and the boss changed. After all, it was not easy to find a job now.

Qin Lin also declared, "The salary is the same as before, but it's also temporary. I naturally have to develop after buying this villa."

"When the villa develops well and you guys do well, your salary will naturally increase. I'll also hire more people. At that time, I'll raise your management and give you a higher salary."

These words were actually just a sketch, but his sketch was good. After all, he had seen those beautiful triangular plums and attracted them at a glance.

If this new boss said he wanted to build 30 acres of a sea of flowers, it would definitely be popular. Then, their salary increase would definitely be confirmed.

Therefore, Gao Yaoyao and the others were looking forward to it.

Qin Lin was in a good mood as he held the signed labor contract.

He was now a boss with industry and employees.

Not long after.

The contract company made from the sea of flowers was here too.

Qin Lin handed the materials he had been looking at for the entire night to her.

The high-level sea of flowers he wanted to build required materials to build stone roads, swings, wooden benches, and pavilions.

He chose the price and color as a tourism manager. The specific contract company would contact the price and let him make the final decision.

Once everything was in place, they could start work.

In the afternoon.

The ordinary ornamental triangular plum in Level 2 land was harvested again.

This time, there were 156 stalks.

Qin Lin arrived at the warehouse and moved all these ornamental triangular plums out of the game. He then contacted Zhao Liyuan from the transportation company to transport these triangular plums to the villa.

After two days, the employees of the villa were on the right track. The triangular sea of flowers had also been built.

On the third day, the seven-colored symbiotic flower in the game matured again.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to pick and plant the new seedlings (group) before heading to the warehouse to enter the game again.

However, when he came to the Miao Zhu Storage Yard again, he was shocked.

Among the more than 20 2.5-meter-tall seven-colored ornamental triangular plums, one stood out. It was taller, more beautiful, and more attractive. The moment he entered, his eyes were attracted uncontrollably.

Qin Lin thought of something and immediately walked over to check the information of this triangular plum.

[Diligent flower seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum plant: Quality 3]

[This is a special breed of symbiotic triangular plum. It has a total of seven colors and is expensive. It is four meters tall, 3.5 meters in length, and 36 centimeters above the head. It is extremely beautiful and has an attractive view. Furthermore, it is easy to transplant. It will last for the entire year.]

[Game product: Gorgeous +3, Viewability +3, Attraction +3, Entering the Mirror +3, Life Transfer +3, Ecological Harmony +3!]

This was a higher-quality seven-colored symbiotic flower. All its attributes increased by +3. No wonder it surpassed the other triangular plums!

This triangular plum with a quality of 3 had an additional ecological harmony +3 attribute!

However, he did not know what use this attribute had for the time being.

Furthermore, if he wanted to move this one out of the game, the warehouse could not even accommodate it. He could only exit the game and leave the warehouse. After observing that there was no one around, he entered the game as quickly as possible and moved this triangular plum out of the game.

However, if this plant was to be transported back to the villa, Zhao Liyuan would probably have to bring a larger truck over.

When Zhao Liyuan brought the convoy over and saw this seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum of Quality 3, he was speechless. He quickly got his subordinates to be more careful. This one was clearly more expensive.

After being busy for a long time, they finally loaded it into the car.

…

The villa was bustling with construction.

The gardeners and farmers they had hired had already begun to transplant the triangular plums over. The seven-colored ornamental triangular plums would gather in the center, followed by the ordinary ornamental ones. Finally, the periphery was filled with ordinary triangular plums, forming radiation.

This way, the tourists would feel even more surprised as they went deeper.

Naturally, in order to make the outer area not too monotonous, some game seven-colored symbiotic ornamental type and ordinary ornamental type would be separated to match the triangular plum bought outside.

Chen Dabei looked at the triangular plum flowers in the parking lot very responsibly and saw a convoy driving over. It seemed to be from the city.

The convoy stopped outside. Chen Dabei walked out in confusion.

A middle-aged man got out of the car and asked, "Is this Boss Qin's villa?"

Chen Dabei said, "Yes, why?"

The middle-aged man said, "My name is Marco. I'm the instructor of the city's triangular plum cultivation base. I'll give Boss Qin the triangular plum and guide you in planting it?"

Sending an instructor was an additional service to the cultivation base. After all, it was an order of 10,000 stalks. They also knew that it was to create a sea of flowers. If the other party became popular, it would also be their living signboard.

Chen Dabei immediately pointed at the parking lot and said, "Boss has instructed you to unload the car in the parking lot if you come."

Marco nodded and got someone to unload the triangular plums in the car and send them inside. He instructed them to follow him into the parking lot.

When he entered the parking lot, Marco was stunned. He looked at the triangular plums in the parking lot in disbelief.

"Seven colors?" Marco was surprised to see those seven-colored ornamental triangular plum plants.

He was not like Gao Yaoyao and the others. He was a professional trainer, so he naturally knew what the seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum represented.

There were many triangular plum symbiotic flowers, but they were usually three-colored symbiotic flowers. Five-colored ones were already considered noble. It was definitely rare to have seven-colored symbiotic flowers that were more than two meters tall.

The key was that these seven colors were surprisingly perfect. As a professional trainer, he was so attracted to them that he could not take his eyes off them.

Furthermore, he felt a little comfort when he saw it. How awesome was this trainer?

Even their cultivation base had not nurtured such a top-grade creature.

From the looks of it, there were quite a number of such top-grade triangular plum plants. This sea of flowers was definitely going to be popular!

As Marco was thinking, he heard the sound of a car outside. Then, he heard the exclamations of the employees from the cultivation base who had come with him.

"This triangular plum is really tall!"

"Those more than two meters tall are already very beautiful. This one is really unbelievable."

"It's four meters long, right?"

Chapter 30

When Marco came out, he was also shocked. The four-meter-tall, messy-haired, and extremely gorgeous seven-colored symbiotic flower immediately attracted his gaze.

"This… This is considered an old plant, right?" Mark went forward anxiously to observe.

As someone in this line of work, he knew the value of this triangular plum very well. It was a seven-colored symbiotic plant and had been nurtured to such a perfect level. This was definitely an old collectible-level plant.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the tourist areas in the country with large triangular seas of plum blossoms were willing to buy this one for more than 200,000 yuan.

Not only was the sea of flowers in this villa going to be popular, but it might also be famous worldwide.

Compared to these triangular plums, the triangular plums sent by their cultivation base were just small green leaves.

When Qin Lin got out of the car, Chen Dabei came over and introduced him. "Boss, this is Mr. Marco from the cultivation base who came to deliver the triangular plum."

"Hello!" Qin Lin shook hands with Marco.

After shaking hands, Marco could not help but ask curiously, "Boss Qin, this old triangular plum tree cost a lot, right? It's difficult to buy a triangular plum blossom of this grade even if you spend 200,000 yuan."

"A friend gave me a friendly price," Qin Lin said casually.

However, he did not expect this seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum of Quality 3 to be considered an old plant.

The old plant was a collector-level plant among the triangular plums. It was given an expensive price by some rich people.

He had seen a piece of news previously. Someone had a two-colored umbrella-shaped triangular plum tree. The owner had sold it for a starting price of 300,000 yuan.

Furthermore, the value of this three-colored triangular plum tree should far exceed the price Marco had mentioned. After all, the other party did not know that his seven-colored triangular plum tree had many attributes all year round.

When Marco saw these triangular plums, he was too embarrassed to say anything about staying behind to help guide the planting. He was too ashamed to show off in front of an expert.

Marco had sent 3,000 triangular plums this time. Because Qin Lin had ordered several varieties of triangular plums, the color was different. Coupled with the problem of his transplant speed, it was impossible to deal with them at the same time.

Qin Lin also asked Master Lin to bring people over. Suddenly, a Quality 3 seven-colored, symbiotic ornamental triangular plum appeared. Then, the center area had to change a little. Naturally, it was to transplant this Quality 3 triangular plum.

Furthermore, after knowing the price of this old plant, Chen Dabei was so frightened that he suggested to Qin Lin, "Boss, are you going to hire a few more security guards?"

He was afraid that others would want to steal such a valuable triangular plum seed. Although Master Lin had discussed with him about taking turns to keep watch, if there were really any ideas, he and Master Lin were useless.

"Yes, I'll handle this." Qin Lin nodded.

He had originally wanted to hire more security guards. The triangular plum blossom sea was valuable. How could Chen Dabei alone be enough?

When Master Lin brought people over and saw this Quality 3 plum, they clearly looked surprised. It took a lot of effort to move this triangular plum to the flower field.

It took half a day to transplant this plant.

Gao Yaoyao and the two female employees were also attracted when they saw this triangular plum. They thought that the previous triangular plum was already the most beautiful, but they did not expect this one to be even more beautiful.

The next day.

When Qin Lin arrived at the villa, he saw Gao Yaoyao running to him. "Boss, come with me to see the triangular plum plant from yesterday."

"What's wrong?" Qin Lin was a little puzzled.

He only knew the reason when he followed Gao Yaoyao to the seven-colored flower.

There were actually many butterflies dancing on the triangular plum tree. Some birds were even chirping crisply. What surprised him, even more, was that there were two squirrels sticking their heads out of the tree.

If the fragrance of flowers had butterflies, it was not strange that this sea of flowers could attract butterflies. There were also birds and squirrels. It must be a special reason.

Gao Yaoyao explained excitedly, "Boss, isn't it magical? I came up at noon to take a photo and post it on my social media, and I saw them. They're not afraid even when I approach them."

With that, she approached and stood under the triangular plum tree. The squirrels on the tree did not run. The two squirrels even stood on the branch above Gao Yaoyao's head, as if they were looking at her curiously.

Under normal circumstances, when a person approached, the bird and squirrel would definitely run away in fear.

Qin Lin roughly understood what was going on.

This Quality 3 Triangular Plum had the attribute of ecological harmony+3,

This scene must be related to ecological harmony +3.

For this reason, the butterflies, birds, and squirrels nearby were attracted.

"Gao Yaoyao, maybe we'll make a sign that forbids us from harming animals," Qin Lin said when he saw this. This seemed to be a huge selling point.

In the following time, the entire villa was in full swing.

The villa was also temporarily closed for business.

Qin Lin would bring out ordinary ornamental triangular plums from the game every day. Furthermore, the Quality 3 seven-colored ornamental triangular plums actually appeared twice in the next month. Three of these triangular plums were planted in the middle of the sea of flowers. A flower bed and fence were specially built around it, and a sign that said, "Don't hurt small animals" was hung on it.

Around the three triangular plums, there were more butterflies fluttering. It was the same for the birds. Their pleasant cries were like music. Occasionally, squirrels could be seen darting between the trees.

This beautiful scenery and such a harmonious scene were definitely intoxicating.

…

As time passed, October arrived.

In the evening.

As usual, Qin Lin picked up the 24 boxes of ripe okra and planted new seeds. Then, he sent this batch of ripe okra to RT-Mart and provided Manager Chen with 10 catties of Quality 2 okra.

"Your tail number… income is 19,653 yuan. Your balance is 139,876.00 yuan!"

In the past month or so, he had earned more than 650,000 yuan from sending the okra to RT-Mart. After deducting the taxes, the balance paid to the Triangular Plum Cultivation Base, and the fees for the construction company, he was only left with less than 140,000 yuan.

Now that the triangular plum blossom sea had been completed, the villa was also preparing to open for business.

Qin Lin rode the old farm tricycle to the warehouse. There were two big buckets in the car. He entered the game with a small bucket and went straight to the pool.

Over the past month, there were already more than a thousand wild fish in the pool.

He immediately used a small bucket to scoop up these wild fish and bring them out of the game. He placed them into two large buckets. After moving dozens of them, the two large buckets were filled.

There were also six big shots.

These were what he wanted to put into the fish pond in the villa.

He started cycling and headed to the villa.

When he arrived at the entrance of the villa, he could see a special wooden artistic sign: Qinglin Villa!

At the entrance, there was a colorful and outstanding triangular sea of flowers not far away. This made him feel proud. After all, this was a sea of flowers he had created.

The sea of flowers was completed. Not far from the reception hall, there was a pure retro wooden building.

This was naturally the sales center he planned to use to sell things. If the crops planted in the game earned a difference for RT-Mart, he might as well sell them himself. As long as the villa had enough traffic, he could completely consume them himself. He could even sell them at more expensive attractions. When the time came, he could also wholesale other things as a cover.

Qin Lin rode the tricycle out of the hall.

Gao Yaoyao was cleaning with four girls. These girls were all wearing custom-made blue uniforms with the words "Qinglin Villa" printed on them.

Three of the girls were newly recruited a few days ago. From now on, one of the new girls would be in charge of the tickets for the adventure and grass-skimming project. The other girl was in charge of the ticket sales for the triangular plum blossom sea.

The other two girls were in charge of the hall.

As for Gao Yaoyao, she had performed well this month and was promoted to a foreman.

The young lady was also very motivated now. She was already a manager and her pay was even raised by 1,000 yuan.

"Boss, what do you need us to do?" When Chen Dabei saw Qin Lin arrive, he also walked up with two uniformed security guards. He was very proactive.

After the sea of flowers was built, security personnel were indispensable. Other than the two people behind Chen Dabei, there was another person watching the surveillance cameras in the monitoring room. At night, there were also two people on night patrol. They were all recruited through the veterans' designated area in the same city online.

The villa had some surveillance cameras.

This was also what many scenic areas had no choice but to do. After all, there were too many fish that had escaped the net of quality education.

Naturally, Chen Dabei had been actively performing this month, so he was promoted to the captain of the security team. His salary had also increased by 1,000 yuan.

Other than that, the villa had also recruited a chef to help Master Lin, a cashier, and three professional landscapers to nurse the triangular sea of flowers.

Coupled with the original front desk registrar and the cleaning auntie, there were almost 20 employees in the villa.

Chapter 31

Qin Lin looked at Chen Dabei, who had brought people forward to help, and instructed, "Pour these fish into the fish pond."

The villa originally had a fishing project. It was rented to tourists to fish with a fishing rod. After the fish were weighed, the tourists would kill them themselves. They would either steam them or barbecue them.

Anyone who could come to the villa to play was also a form of fun.

However, when he auctioned to this farm, there was no longer a fish in the fish pond. Therefore, he had to replenish the fish in the fish pond. He had to move a few more fish. Furthermore, this wild fish was also a selling point.

Other than fishing, tourists could naturally buy fish directly from the hall and cook them themselves. This had to be arranged separately.

However, those who came to the farmhouse to play, regardless of whether they knew how to fish or not, would usually rent a fishing pole to experience it. It was also very likely that they could not catch a single fish.

Chen Dabei did not say anything else and immediately climbed into the car. Then, he personally instructed two security guards to carry the buckets out of the car.

"What a big fish," a security guard exclaimed. He had clearly seen a big item.

"This one is more than 30 pounds, right? There's more than one!" The other security guard was also surprised.

Master Lin, who was wearing a chef's suit, was attracted. He went to the bucket and looked at it in surprise. "Boss, are these fish wild?"

"Master Lin, you have good taste," Qin Lin said with a smile.

"Impressive, impressive." Master Lin knew his stuff and exclaimed, "There are so many wild fish. They're not small, especially this big fish. I'm afraid each one is worth more than 2,000 yuan. Furthermore, you might not be able to buy them even if you have the money. Boss, you paid a lot to get these fish, right?"

"I did pay a small price!" Qin Lin said with a smile.

Wasn't it a small price? Fishing in the game took some time, and moving out of the game took some time. It was just a small price.

"I knew it. You can't buy this fish without paying a price!" Master Lin thought that he had guessed correctly. He had a smile on his face and suggested, "Boss, put these big fish in the pool in the hall. Such big wild fish can attract people just by looking at them."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded. When the time came, he would move some big goods over and place them in the fish pond.

However, he planned to strictly control the number of this big shot.

There were only a few of such large goods in the market every year. It was not suitable to take out too many. Furthermore, the price was not something an ordinary person could afford.

Other than eating for himself, it would be more dignified to serve others another one.

After handing two large buckets of wild fish to Chen Dabei and Master Lin, he called Gao Yaoyao over.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Gao Yaoyao jogged over.

Qin Lin instructed, "I'll get someone to shoot the promotional video for the triangular plum blossom sea tomorrow. Dress up nicely and cooperate with the filming of a set of promotional videos and photos. I'll give you 2,000 yuan."

After the triangular plum blossom sea was built, if he wanted to let people know and attract them, he had to let people know about this sea of flowers first. It was inevitable to take promotional videos and promotional photos. He had to print promotional photos.

Of course, this model was also indispensable.

Gao Yaoyao was a pure girl with passable looks. With her in mind, he naturally did not waste time looking for someone.

"Thank you, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao immediately agreed sweetly when she heard that.

Then, Qin Lin walked toward the triangular plum blossom sea.

From the hall, a specially made stone road led to the sea of flowers.

The entrance to the sea of flowers was a ticket booth. Ordinary sea of flowers tickets were around 30 to 70 yuan. He directly set it as 100 yuan.

To his sea of flowers, this price was not expensive, but to attract people, it could not be too expensive. As long as there were people, the accompanying profit plan could be arranged. For example, he could produce and sell the game crops.

The periphery of the sea of flowers was arranged neatly into a flower wall with dense triangular plum trees, preventing anyone from entering. They could only enter from the ticket office.

The 30-acre sea of flowers was a little spectacular. Just the dense ordinary triangular plums on the outside made this trip worthwhile. The deeper they went, the more pleasing it was to the eyes when they reached the triangular plum area produced by the game.

On the other hand, the Quality 3 seven-colored, symbiotic, ornamental triangular plums planted had the attributes of gorgeous +2, ornamental +2, and attractive +2.

In particular, the three stalks stood out from the crowd. They were more than 4 meters tall Quality 3 triangular plums. They were gorgeous +3, ornamental +3, attractive +3, photogenic +3, and ecological harmony +3.

This sea of flowers was definitely shocking. One could not tear their eyes away from it.

Qin Lin knew very well that as the creator of this sea of flowers, he would be shocked to see these flowers every day, let alone tourists.

When he arrived at the center, Qin Lin stopped. He saw butterflies dancing around the Quality 3 triangular plums. There were a few squirrels scurrying in the trees.

In the surroundings of the Quality 3 triangular plums, there was an ecological harmony +3 attribute. These squirrels were not afraid of people.

Qin Lin reached out to touch a squirrel that had landed on the fence. It did not run.

He took out a few pine nuts and placed them on the ground. The squirrels immediately jumped down and hugged the pine nuts.

He deliberately left one in his hand. As if they knew, the squirrels kept staring at his hand.

Qin Lin smiled and put down the last pine nut. A squirrel immediately went forward and hugged it. Then, they scurried up the tree and hid the pine nut.

During this period of time, he had gotten Gao Yaoyao to deliver some pine nuts to these squirrels every day. They were also used to it. At night, they would take all the pine nuts they had harvested and rush into the forest. Then, they would appear on time the next day.

These butterflies and squirrels, as well as the pleasant bird cries, would add characteristics to the sea of flowers.

The next day.

After sending Qiu Kui to RT-Mart, Qin Lin headed to Qin Ren's advertising and planning studio.

Qin Ren was one of the partners. He had shares in the studio and was also a photographer. His skills were not bad.

He naturally wanted to invite Qin Ren, his childhood friend, to take a set of promotional videos and photos.

Since he was going to hire someone anyway, he might as well let his childhood friend earn the money.

When Qin Lin came in, other than Qin Ren, there were a few others. Qin Ren's fiancée, Liao Li, and another woman he had seen at Qin Ren's house were also there.

"Lin Zi, why are you here?" When Qin Ren saw Qin Lin, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Da Ren, I want to invite you to take a set of videos and photos." Qin Lin smiled and explained his intentions. "Come with me to the venue first. I'll place an order then?"

The 30-acre triangular plum blossom sea had a lot of promotional videos and photos. A team would definitely have to be deployed for ground filming, aviation filming, post-production, and so on.

He had asked online. His publicity video and photos cost tens of thousands.

"What order?" Qin Ren placed his hand on Qin Lin's shoulder unhappily. "It doesn't take much time to help you take a fruit shop video and photo. Do you treat me as your brother?"

With that, Qin Ren did not forget to say to the others, "I'm going out with my brother, Qin Lin."

This was also considered an explanation to the other partners. It was not considered a private job, but it was considered helping a brother. Everyone had a situation.

"Lin Zi, let's go!" Qin Ren called.

Qin Lin smiled. Qin Ren was doing this out of goodwill and not letting him spend money. He had helped him take a photo of the fruit shop once, but this time, his promotional video and photos were really not something Qin Ren could handle alone.

Liao Li and her cousin, Chu Na, watched this scene. Liao Li had no objections. What she liked was her fiancé's loyalty.

Chu Na had a lot of objections. "Liao Li, you have to talk about Qin Ren. You can't be too loyal. Others will get used to it. Was that Qin Lin from last time? I thought he was a good person previously, but now, it's obvious that he doesn't know the ways of the world. When Qin Ren said that he didn't want money, he didn't stand on ceremony at all?"

"Let's go shopping!" Liao Li clearly did not agree with her cousin, but she did not want to argue with her.

Qin Lin and Qin Ren left the planning studio and rode on an electric scooter. Qin Ren sat in the backseat before starting the car and driving out.

Soon, Qin Ren realized that something was wrong. "Lin Zi, if we're not going to the fruit and vegetable market street, why are we walking out of the city? Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there," Qin Lin said with a smile.

Chapter 32

Soon.

The small electric car arrived at the entrance of Qinglin Villa.

"Isn't this Fuhai Villa? Why did it change its name?" Qin Ren was puzzled. He had been here with Qin Lin in the past. At that time, they had not graduated from university and had come to spend their summer vacation.

When Qin Lin's small electric car stopped in front of the hall, Gao Yaoyao, who was gorgeously dressed, went forward. "Boss!"

"Lin Zi, this girl is not bad… Wait, Boss?" Qin Ren was habitually paying attention to the beautiful girl when he suddenly reacted. "Lin Zi, you're the boss of this villa? No wonder it's called Qinlin Villa."

"Da Ren, let's go. Look at the filming location. Also, this girl is called Gao Yaoyao. She's acting as the model today," Qin Lin called out and brought Qin Ren into the triangular sea of flowers.

"Damn!" Qin Ren was shocked when he saw the sea of flowers in front of him. "Lin Zi, did you do this?"

"Yes! I just finished it." Qin Lin nodded.

"Lin Zi, you're awesome!" Qin Ren directly exclaimed.

He knew the situation of this brother's family very well. It was obvious how shocked he was when he suddenly did this.

How much did this sea of flowers cost?

However, he did not ask further. It would change if he probed further. After all, everyone had fortuitous encounters. Perhaps his brother had won the lottery or someone had invested.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Da Ren, I just want to invite your studio to take a set of promotional videos and photos for this sea of flowers."

"Ah…" Qin Ren instantly felt bitter when he heard this. "I can't do this alone!"

Qin Lin naturally knew and smiled. "I'll place an order for your studio. Remember to give me a discount!"

"Not only will I give you a discount, but I'll also give you the best service. Remember to give me a five-star rating." Qin Ren did not waste any time. He took his phone and called back.

He really could not do this alone. He also knew that Qin Lin was taking care of his business, so he definitely had to do it well.

Qin Lin saw Gao Yaoyao smiling foolishly at her phone behind him. He asked curiously, "Why are you smiling so happily?"

When Gao Yaoyao heard Qin Lin's words, she came back to her senses and asked, "Boss, I registered the trademark of the meat pie in Youcheng County. Then can I eat the meat pie at the shops in Youcheng County without paying? They used my trademark."

Qin Lin asked in surprise, "Er! What are you thinking about? Aren't you afraid of being beaten up?"

Gao Yaoyao shrunk her head and said, "Am I joking? I just saw a video. Someone registered the trademark of a meat pie and sued hundreds of meat pie shops in the country, asking for 99,800 yuan each."

"What?" Qin Lin revealed an incredulous expression.

How much money would he earn if he won? In the blink of an eye, it would be tens of millions. It was even easier than his business.

It was not scary to be a hooligan, but it was even scarier if it was a cultured hooligan.

He had the urge to register the Youcheng County meat pie trademark and register all the noodles and pig head meat at the city pass!

However, this was just a thought. He would really be beaten up. Furthermore, the officials would definitely handle it. Perhaps someone would have to pay the legal price. Otherwise, the people in society would follow suit. It would be strange if it was not chaotic.

After Qin Ren called, three partners from the studio quickly arrived.

When the three of them arrived at the villa and saw the triangular sea of plum blossoms, they were also very surprised.

He originally thought that Qin Ren was just helping his brother out privately. Unexpectedly, the other party's brother was so awesome and gave him a big deal.

Why didn't they have such brothers?

However, after helping Qin Lin film the triangular sea of plum blossoms, Qin Ren and his partner was even more shocked.

If one were to say that this sea of flowers gave off a fascinating beauty from the outer area, then entering it and reaching the middle was even more unbelievable.

Especially when they arrived at the central area, with the cooperation of the model at the villa, they realized that the videos and photos were actually poetic. The scene was so beautiful that it seemed to be art.

A partner said in surprise, "Qin Ren, not bad. I feel like your filming skills have improved. You're already acting like a master."

"It's because this place is too beautiful." Qin Ren was also smiling. It was the first time he had taken such a perfect promotional video and photo.

Especially the three most beautiful triangular plums. The videos and photos that came out were not inferior to those top masters.

Naturally, he did not know that this was because these triangular plums had game attributes.

The three triangular plums had +3 attributes.

"Lin Zi, we'll work overtime tonight to help you get the promotional video and advertisement photos. You can use them tomorrow," Qin Ren promised Qin Lin when he left.

When he returned to the studio, Qin Ren said to his partners, "Everyone, work overtime tonight. Don't embarrass me in front of my brothers."

The others smiled and agreed.

Actually, they were not stupid. When they were filming, they had a feeling that the triangular sea of plum blossoms was going to be popular. Then, the promotional video and advertisement photos they took were also publicity for themselves. It had to be perfect.

In the evening.

Liao Li brought her cousin Chu Na over again. When she arrived behind her fiancé, she could not help but be surprised when she saw the video he had edited. "Hubby, where did you take this? It's so beautiful!"

Even Chu Na asked curiously, "Is there such a beautiful place in our Youcheng County?"

If the video alone was so stunning, how beautiful would it be at the scene?

When Qin Ren saw his fiancée ask, he said proudly, "Xiao Li, let me tell you. Qin Lin hid very well. He built a villa and built this triangular plum blossom sea. Those triangular plums don't look like ordinary quality. The 30 acres should be at least a few million yuan. This kid can do it."

Her words were filled with surprise and joy for her brother, making Liao Li feel incredulous.

She knew her fiancé's family situation.

However, Chu Na felt that something was wrong.

Did she make a mistake?

Liao Li did not disturb her fiancé's work and pulled her cousin to the side to play by herself.

Chu Na said anxiously, "Li Li, send me Qin Lin's WeChat!"

Liao Li said playfully, "Cousin, didn't you say you were joking last time?"

Chu Na did not care. "I didn't know his conditions. As a woman, who doesn't want to find someone with good conditions?"

Liao Li was helpless and could only send Qin Lin's WeChat profile to her cousin.

Chu Na immediately added him on WeChat.

On the other hand, Qin Lin quickly received a WeChat friend request with a notification. "I'm Liao Li's cousin, can we be friends?"

This made him frown. Why did Liao Li's cousin add him for no reason?

He opened her profile and saw that although the photo was seriously photoshopped, he could still vaguely tell that it was the girl beside Liao Li.

It was just that she looked too different in the photo.

However, he also understood something. After all, she had not added him on WeChat during their two meetings. Why did she suddenly add him?

After having Moqing, unless there were special circumstances, he would never add a woman on WeChat. This was his respect for Zhao Moqing, so he decisively wanted to reject her. However, when he thought about it, she was Liao Li's cousin, so he still replied tactfully, "I'm sorry. My wife doesn't allow me to add someone of the opposite sex!"

On the other end, Liao Li's cousin was stunned. "Li Li, why didn't you say that Qin Lin is married?"

"?" Liao Li was stunned. Qin Ren would definitely know that Qin Lin was married. They were not married at all.

However, she also understood that Qin Lin had guessed her cousin's motive and rejected her tactfully. She could not help but shake her head and did not remind her cousin.

Her cousin was just a little country bumpkin without her feet on the ground. She had photoshopped a picture of herself to beautify herself and thought that she was a catch when men she was not familiar with praised her.

She was already a leftover woman. She still wanted to find a young, handsome, and rich man, but a young, handsome, and rich man did not like her at all.

Chapter 33

The next day.

Qin Lin received a call from Qin Ren, telling him that the promotional video and promotional photos had been completed.

He went to Qin Ren's studio immediately.

"Lin Zi, watch it yourself. We'll change it if you're dissatisfied." Qin Ren played the promotional video for Qin Lin.

Qin Lin was still very satisfied with the promotional video. Qin Ren's studio had clearly put in a lot of effort. He had also decisively paid the studio to not make things difficult for Qin Ren in front of his partners.

After leaving, he had to consider publicity.

Firstly, he had to attract the locals of Youcheng County before thinking of a way to attract more tourists.

Therefore, he went straight to RT-Mart.

In Youcheng County, advertising was not done at the television station. Almost no one watched Youcheng County TV. Or rather, no one watched satellite TV that was not popular in this era.

However, there was a place in Youcheng County that most people could see.

It was the open-air screen of the Eastern Business Square. This screen had been rented by the big hair salon on the square's first floor for many years and was used to repeatedly play the merchandise introduction and big hair advertisements.

The Eastern Mountain Commercial Square was the center of Youcheng County. It was where they ate, drank, and ate.

If he could upload the promotional video of his sea of flowers, most people in Youcheng County would be able to see it.

When he arrived, Qin Lin went straight to Manager Chen's office, wanting to settle this matter through Manager Chen's connections.

At this moment…

Manager Chen also handed tea to a middle-aged man respectfully in the office. "President Chu, I have no choice. The other party only gave me 2.5 kilograms of this special-quality okra. I've already distributed 3 catties to you."

Of course, Manager Chen did not dare to say that it was 10 catties. President Chu was the person in charge of Youcheng County and Sand City's RT-Mart. He had the final say. The other party was also the brother-in-law of a director in the headquarters. As soon as he said it, the other party would definitely want it. He could not refuse to give it to him.

This was a sacred item for men. It concerned their sexual happiness.

"Can you beg him to think of a way?" President Chu asked with a frown. At his age, a man wanted to play with little white rabbits outside and had to take good care of his family. He really did not have the strength to do so, and that special okra was really awesome. The effect was obvious.

Manager Chen said helplessly, "President Chu, I've been urging him too, but this is not a matter of money. The other party said that it's really little."

When President Chu heard this, he could not help but feel frustrated.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Manager Chen got up and opened the door. When he saw that it was Qin Lin, his face was filled with enthusiasm. "President Qin, why are you here so early today?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Manager Chen, I want to ask you a favor today. Isn't the open-air video at the Eastern Business Square always rented by your RT-Mart? I want to advertise. Can you help me ask if RT-Mart can rent some time to me every day?"

"President Chu, he is…" Manager Chen immediately looked at President Chu and wanted to introduce Qin Lin. President Chu could also make the decision on this matter.

President Chu was in a bad mood now. He interrupted Manager Chen and said unhappily, "Manager Chen, do you think our company lacks that little money and needs to rent a company during the advertisement time? We can't possibly rent it."

When Manager Chen heard this, he knew that he was in trouble.

The okra was still counting on someone else.

He hurriedly said, "President Chu, President Qin is the one who provided the okra."

"?" President Chu was stunned for a moment.

What the f*ck…

The next moment, he smiled and went forward to hold Qin Lin's hand. "President Qin, hello, hello. We can't sublet during the advertisement time. We're not short of that money, but as happy friends, we can give you some free time every day."

"?" Manager Chen had learned something!

Qin Lin was a little surprised to hear this.

When he came, he was still thinking about how much money he needed to rent some outdoor videos in the commercial square. He did not expect the other party to give them away for free.

However, he also knew that others would not suddenly give him benefits for no reason. They must have a request.

At this moment, President Chu asked, "President Qin, what advertisement are you going to broadcast? I want to plan a suitable time for you."

Clearly, this was a thoughtful service.

Qin Lin explained, "President Chu, I recently built a villa and a triangular plum blossom sea. I want to advertise it."

President Chu immediately said, "President Qin, then from 7:30 to 8:30, this is one of the most crowded times. For the next week, I'll give you this hour for free."

"Thank you, President Chu." Qin Lin immediately thanked him.

He also knew that President Chu must have a motive and was waiting for him to speak.

President Chu smiled and said, "President Qin, the okra you sold to Manager Chen previously is really good. I want to buy some too."

Qin Lin knew President Chu's motive now.

No wonder.

Qin Lin immediately smiled and said, "President Chu, how can I let you buy this? I'll deliver 10 catties to you in the evening."

"Thank you so much, President Qin!" President Chu smiled in satisfaction. Then, he suddenly asked, "President Qin, actually, I'm also in charge of the big RT-Mart in Sand City. It's even on the first floor of the Wanda Plaza over there. There's also a big advertising screen. If you need it, I can also send President Qin some time to advertise. President Qin, remember me as a friend if you have such special okra in the future."

Qin Lin's eyes lit up as he said, "President Chu, I can think of another way regarding the okra. When the time comes, I'll send 10 catties to you."

Actually, he had already left a lot of Quality 2 okra in his space over the past month. It would not rot in the game, and he was not in a hurry to deal with it.

However, he still understood the logic of being a rare commodity.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, President Qin." President Chu was instantly filled with a smile. After all, it was really difficult to go home and satisfy his wife after he was done playing outside.

His body could not handle it.

Manager Chen looked at the two of them chatting happily and felt a little bitter.

This special quality okra had been sold to President Chu. What should he do?

When Qin Lin left, he handed the promotional video to President Chu. The other party would arrange it. In the evening, when he sent the mature okra to the RT-Mart, he also sent 10 catties of Quality 2 okra over.

President Chu had been waiting for a long time. When he received the okra, he even treated Qin Lin to dinner very enthusiastically. Clearly, he was more tactful than Manager Chen.

President Chu had mentioned many times that the advertisement video would be released on time at 7:30. Qin Linye had promised many times that he would get the okra as soon as possible.

This made President Chu very happy.

When Qin Lin returned home, it was already past seven.

Now that everything was settled, he was just waiting for the villa to open.

After taking a shower, Qin Lin took out his phone and called Zhao Moqing.

It was time to tell Zhao Moqing about the surprise at the villa.

The call went through quickly.

Qin Lin said immediately, "Moqing, I want to tell you something. Didn't I tell you that I built a villa?"

Zhao Moqing snorted. "Qin Lin, you're finally willing to tell me? Auntie told me long ago. I was waiting to see how long you would hide it from me."

Qin Lin said awkwardly, "Moqing, well, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to give you a surprise."

"Surprise? You didn't even discuss it with me!" Zhao Moqing expressed her dissatisfaction again and asked, "Are you afraid that I won't support your entrepreneurship? Am I such an unreasonable person?"

Qin Lin immediately apologized. "Of course not. I'll apologize, okay?"

Zhao Moqing then said in satisfaction, "That's more like it. Qin Lin, don't hide anything from me in the future. Also, what can you do with your tens of thousands? I still have 50,000 yuan here. If you need me to transfer it to you, I'll support you if you want to start a business."

These words made Qin Lin's heart feel a warm current. However, Zhao Mosheng was clearly misled by his mother's previous words. Qinglin Villa was not a farmhouse that cost tens of thousands.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "The villa will open tomorrow."

"Then I'll take a leave tomorrow!" Zhao Moqing immediately said. As the lady boss, even if Qin Lin's farmhouse was small, she had to be there. After saying this, she said, "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm shopping with Sister-in-law."

On the other hand, Zhao Moqing hung up the phone and walked toward the Eastern Business Square with Li Jiawen.

Li Jiawen looked at her sister-in-law and sighed. "I've never seen a girl as silly as you. You even want to use your money to start a business for your boyfriend?"

"Sister-in-law, help me keep it a secret!" Zhao Moqing said hurriedly.

Was she giving it to her boyfriend? It was for her husband. She and Qin Lin had already secretly registered their marriage.

"You!" Li Jiawen shook her head.

At this moment, the two women suddenly heard a few exclamations.

"Look at the outdoor video in the square. It's so beautiful!"

"Where is this sea of flowers?"

More and more people in the square looked up and were stunned when they saw the sea of flowers. The gorgeous and poetic video was too attractive.

The sea of flowers was so beautiful!

Chapter 34

Many people looked at the outdoor video in the square. The sudden sea of flowers video on it seemed to be naturally attractive.

The enhancement on the screen made the video seem to have a natural artistic halo.

When the video camera zoomed in, the seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums looked even more charming.

More and more people in the square were attracted by the sea of flowers in the open-air video and could not help but stop to watch.

Soon, Gao Yaoyao, the model, appeared. She was wearing beautiful clothes and walked to the middle of the sea of flowers from a tourist's point of view. She stood under the Quality 3 seven-colored flowers.

Around her, under the ecological harmony +3 attribute, butterflies danced around her. The sound of birds was pleasant. Gao Yaoyao was still feeding a few squirrels with pine nuts. The harmonious scene was eye-catching.

Surprise sounded again.

"There are also many butterflies flying around the triangular plum."

"Butterflies in October are rare. There are actually so many of them gathered here. It's really beautiful."

"That squirrel is actually not afraid of people. It's so cute."

"Where is this sea of flowers?"

"I want to go so much!"

Clearly, the people who saw the video were attracted and wanted to see the sea of flowers.

Zhao Moqing and Li Jiawen were also attracted by the video.

It was not that they had not seen a sea of flowers before. They had also been to the triangular plum blossom sea, but no sea of flowers could give them such a feeling with just a video.

"Moqing, when did Youcheng County have such a sea of flowers? I really want to go!" Li Jiawen sighed. "I've decided. I must let your brother see this sea of flowers when I have the time."

Zhao Moqing nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go too, but I don't want to be a third wheel."

Li Jiawen smiled and said, "Let Qin Lin bring you there. You're already going to give him your money to start a business. If he doesn't bring you there, he won't know what's good for him."

Zhao Moqing shook her head and said, "Qin Lin has been very busy with his entrepreneurship recently. I don't want him to be distracted by this kind of thing. Let's talk about it in the future."

"You!" Li Jiawen really had no choice.

…

"This sea of flowers actually belongs to Youcheng County? It's not far!"

"It's at the original Fuhai Villa. I've been there before."

"I've been to that villa before. I didn't expect to see such a sea of flowers."

"It's only 30 minutes away. I got my boyfriend to bring me there this weekend."

"..."

At the end of the sea of flowers video, an address appeared. It was the Qinglin Villa. This address instantly made many people remember it.

Zhao Moqing was surprised.

She knew about Fuhai Villa. A tycoon had bought this villa previously. At that time, she still felt that it was a pity that the 500 acres of land in the villa were so deserted. She even told Qin Lin that it would definitely be popular if he could build a triangular plum blossom sea.

She did not expect the tycoon who filmed this villa to really create a sea of flowers. It seemed like this sea of flowers had cost a lot.

Li Jiawen looked at the address and said thoughtfully, "Moqing, why does the name Qinglin Villa sound like a combination of your and Qin Lin's names?"

Zhao Moqing had seen this name earlier and teased, "Sister-in-law, do you think Qin Lin and I own this villa?"

Li Jiawen smiled and flicked Zhao Moqing's forehead. "It's nighttime. It's not time to daydream."

The two women did not continue to pay attention to the name of this villa. After all, they knew Qin Lin's family's situation. How could he open such a villa?

The sea of flowers video began to play from the beginning again for an hour.

On this night, many people who had been to the Eastern Business Square were attracted by the sea of flowers.

This one-hour broadcast also made the other shop owners in the Eastern Business Square very depressed.

This was because they had once wanted to look for the advertising time for this open-air video. However, this person did not bother about them at all and simply said, "Is RT-Mart a company that rents advertising time?"

Now, this RT-Mart had actually begun to rent advertising time to a villa.

This also made many people want to ask how the villa's boss succeeded. They all wanted to imitate him.

At this moment, Qin Lin was already looking at the game on the screen in his mind. He controlled his game character to water the crops, remove insects, and remove weeds.

Other than the 24 plots of Level 1 land that continued to plant okra, the Level 2 plot of land continued to plant strawberries, and the Level 3 plot of land planted watermelons.

This watermelon was not an ordinary new watermelon, but the quality of the game, Quality 2 watermelon seeds.

Other than the large number of okra, he did not plan to give these strawberries and watermelons to RT-Mart. Now that the villa was open, he could try a new plan.

The next day, Qin Lin woke up early. The okra, strawberries, and watermelons in the game had already ripened.

He looked at the watermelon fields in Level 3. Number: 25.

The amount of production was similar to before!

After picking all the mature crops, Qin Lin entered the game. He picked one up and saw the notification.

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 2]

[Remarks: A high-quality watermelon produced by the game. Be it the taste, taste, or fragrance… It's far better than a watermelon of quality 1. It can make you unable to control your taste buds. Delicious +2, Sweet +2, Taste +2, Aftertaste +2!]

He put it down and picked up another.

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 2]

…

After looking at all the watermelons, Qin Lin could confirm that the watermelons planted with watermelon seeds were indeed of Quality 2. Furthermore, every watermelon was big and weighed more than 10 catties.

Previously, he had thought about the price of specially imported watermelons if he could mass produce watermelons of Quality 2.

However, looking at this Quality 2 watermelon seed, it seemed like there was hope for mass production of 2 watermelons.

Furthermore, he had also understood the price of imported special watermelons. For example, a square watermelon from Japan was sold for 70 yuan per catty. There was also a black watermelon that could be sold for 120 yuan per catty. There was also an Italian crispy watermelon that could be sold for 100 yuan per catty…

There were many special imported fruits like this. Putting aside the taste, if it could be sold at this price and someone accepted it, the taste and texture would definitely not be bad.

However, no matter how good the taste and texture were, they definitely could not compare to his watermelon with a quality of 2. Why couldn't his watermelon be sold for 100 yuan a catty?

After Qin Lin went to the warehouse, he sent the okra to RT-Mart. However, this time, he reserved 200 catties for himself.

After sending the goods to RT-Mart, he went to the warehouse again. Then, he moved 200 catties of okra and 310 catties of ripe strawberries from the game and placed them in the car.

Other than that, there were five watermelons of Quality 2, five catties of strawberries of Quality 2, and 10 catties of okra of Quality 2.

Then, he drove to the villa.

He planned to sell these in the villa.

Not only were the Quality 2 watermelons sold for 100 yuan a catty, but the Quality 2 strawberries were also sold for 200 yuan a catty according to the price of specially imported strawberries.

His Quality 2 strawberries were much more delicious than the 200 yuan per 500 grams of imported strawberries.

The Quality 2 okra would be sold according to the price given to Manager Chen. One catty was 400 yuan.

If he could sell them well, these Quality 2 items alone could earn him 28,000 yuan.

Chapter 35

The entrance of the villa was connected to the intersecting road between Sand City and the city. A sign was also erected at the entrance. On it was a triangular advertisement photo of the Plum Sea. Cars passing by could be seen at a glance.

Because of the +3 entry attribute, the promotional photos produced by Qin Ren's studio seemed artistic and inexplicably attractive.

When the villa opened, Qin Lin did not play any fancy tricks because he felt that there was no need.

After entering the villa, Qin Lin drove the car to the hall. As it was opening today, Gao Yaoyao and the other employees were preparing.

Master Lin was already wearing a chef's suit. After all, he was a chef, and the maintenance of the triangular plum had been handed to the three landscapers.

"Chen Dabei, get someone to move the things in the car into the hall. I've written the price on it. Get Gao Yaoyao to mark the price," Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei after getting out of the car.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei, the security captain, was already used to going forward to help when his boss arrived.

After moving the okra, strawberries, and watermelons down, Gao Yaoyao brought the girls and waiters over.

There were already a few shelves in the hall. They knew that the boss would transport things to place them and prepare to sell them to the tourists.

However, when Gao Yaoyao saw the price, she was stunned. "Boss, is this price wrong? The watermelon is 100 yuan per catty."

The other waiters were also surprised.

Not only were there watermelons, but there was also a small box of strawberries and okra marked with 200 yuan and 400 yuan respectively.

This must be a mistake. How could it be so expensive?

"There's no mistake. Sell it at this price," Qin Lin explained. Looking at Gao Yaoyao and the others' expressions, he instructed, "Master Lin, cut a watermelon and let everyone taste it."

Qin Lin's words made everyone a little incredulous. To be honest, commoners like them had never seen anyone dare to sell watermelons at such an expensive price.

When Master Lin heard the instructions, he picked up a watermelon and went to the kitchen to cut it. Then, he took it out and distributed it to everyone present.

Gao Yaoyao and the other girls picked up the watermelon and tasted it with mixed feelings.

After all, this was a watermelon that was sold for 100 yuan per 500 grams. They did not know how it tasted.

However, after taking a bite, Gao Yaoyao almost bit her tongue. It was too delicious.

"How can this melon be so delicious?" a waiter exclaimed.

"Yes, it's so delicious. I almost bit my tongue." Gao Yaoyao nodded crazily.

Deliciousness +2, sweetness +2, taste +2, and aftertaste +2 were no joke.

After tasting this melon, Gao Yaoyao and the others only had one thought. It seemed like they could sell this melon for 100 yuan per 500 grams.

Master Lin was already old, but he still ate like the other girls. He could not help but praise, "Boss, I've never eaten such delicious melons in my life. These shouldn't be ordinary melons, right?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "This is a special watermelon that has just been cultivated. It's not available on the market now. I'm the only one selling it."

This Quality 2 watermelon was unique. If it was not a special breed, what was it?

Gao Yaoyao thought of something after eating a piece of watermelon and asked, "Boss, aren't you selling ordinary watermelons? Although this melon is extremely delicious and has a price tag, others don't know. If a busybody takes a video and writes a title complaining about this astronomical price for watermelon, it'll be a little troublesome if it's posted online."

These words reminded Qin Lin.

That was indeed the case.

Even if the price was clearly stated and the transaction was voluntary, busybodies could always complicate things.

However, it was not a problem. If he used two boxes to plant some watermelons of Quality 1, there would be a comparison between Quality 1 watermelons and Quality 2 watermelons. He could also add a batch of ordinary watermelons and raise the price of Quality 1 watermelons to 10 yuan per 500 grams.

There was also some ordinary okra. The quality was 15 yuan per catty.

After all, it was common knowledge that the prices of different fruits were different. If there were doubts, they would cut the watermelon in public and let others try it. The difference would be obvious. Even if there were busybodies, they could shut up. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

It was the same for strawberries. Some ordinary strawberries were sold for 25 yuan. Quality 1 strawberries were sold for 40 yuan, and Quality 2 strawberries were sold for 200 yuan.

At the thought of this, Qin Lin shoveled the two boxes of okra in his mind and planted watermelon seeds. Then, he drove the tricycle back to the county and went straight to the wholesale market to buy a batch of watermelons and strawberries.

He would do that for the time being and adjust it according to the situation after opening.

After settling everything, he went home to take a shower and went to a car rental shop to rent a car. He was going to bring his mother and Zhao Moqing to the villa today. The small electric car could not accommodate them.

When he drove the rented car back to the district, Lin Fen was already waiting with Wang Cai.

She had even dressed up meticulously today, which was rare. Furthermore, even Wang Cai had put on a pet shirt.

Qin Lin had been busy these past few days, so Lin Fen brought Wang Cai out for a walk and bought one for the dog.

This dog was very smart and knew how to please others. Lin Fen liked it very much.

After paying off the debt at home, she felt much more relaxed. Her son's business was opening today, and she only had happiness and pride.

"Woof!" When Wang Cai saw that Qin Lin had arrived, it cried out happily. As soon as the car door opened, it rushed in.

After picking up his mother, Qin Lin went to Zhao Moqing's district.

Zhao Moqing was already waiting outside the district. When she saw the car stop, she went forward.

Qin Lin had already told her the car plate number.

After she got into the car, she said to Lin Fen, "Auntie!"

When Lin Fen saw Zhao Moqing's smile, she was even happier. She was very satisfied with her son as her girlfriend.

Now that the debt at home had been paid, her remaining wish was for her son to quickly marry Zhao Moqing.

"Woof!" The dog also greeted her and rubbed its head against Zhao Moqing in a fawning manner.

"Wang Cai." Zhao Moqing also reached out and rubbed the dog's head.

The car started and left the county city to head to Qinglin Villa.

Along the way, Lin Fen was fine. She was just looking forward to what her son's villa was like.

However, as Zhao Moqing followed the car forward, a puzzled expression gradually appeared on her face.

Because she was familiar with this road. Wasn't this the way to Fuhai Villa?

As they got closer, Zhao Moqing was a little anxious. "Qin Lin, you got the farmhouse here? Don't you know that there's a Fuhai Villa here?"

She was really anxious. It was not easy for her boyfriend to leave some money to start a career. Even if she gave all her money to Qin Lin, it would be a waste to start a farmhouse beside Fuhai Villa.

After all, the new boss of Fuhai Villa had created such a beautiful sea of flowers.

However, when the car stopped in the parking lot of Qinglin Villa, Zhao Moqing was stunned.

Qinglin Villa?

Why was it here?

An unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind. Qinglin… Zhao Moqing, Qin Lin?

Was the tycoon who had bought Fuhai Villa really Qin Lin?

This thought made Zhao Moqing feel a little surreal. She knew her husband's family.

"Boss!" The security guard guarding the parking lot greeted Qin Lin respectfully when he got out of the car.

This confirmed Zhao Moqing's guess, and she could not help but open her beautiful mouth. "Qin Lin, what's going on?"

After Lin Fen got out of the car, she looked at the villa in front of her happily.

She clearly did not expect the villa her son had built to be so good. It far exceeded her imagination.

Hearing Zhao Moqing's words, she helped her son explain, "Moqing, Xiao Lin was lucky. He caught a wild ornamental fish and sold it for more than 600,000 yuan. Then, he sold it wholesale for a few days and opened this villa with the money he earned."

Zhao Moqing frowned because something was wrong. She knew that this villa auction alone had cost 1.2 million yuan. It would definitely cost more to build a sea of flowers.

However, looking at Lin Fen's happy expression, she did not express her confusion lest she worries.

"Auntie, let's go in and take a look!" Zhao Moqing held Lin Fen's hand and walked into the villa.

Lin Fen also placed her hand on Zhao Moqing's arm happily.

The two women were as intimate as mother and daughter, but Qin Lin suddenly seemed to be an outsider.

A moment later, the two of them were attracted by the beautiful triangular sea of plum blossoms not far away.

"Those are triangular plums? You planted so many?" Lin Fen said in surprise.

Zhao Moqing looked at the sea of flowers with a strange expression.

Previously, when she and her sister-in-law saw the promotional video, they were attracted by this sea of flowers.

At that time, Sister-in-law had even joked that Qin Lin was the one who opened Qinglin Villa and named it after them.

Sister-in-law definitely did not believe that this would happen, right? Her jaw would probably drop.

Then, Zhao Moqing thought of something. She remembered that back in the hotel room, she had casually said that if Fuhai Villa got a triangular sea of plum blossoms, it would definitely be popular.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin actually remembered and really made a triangular sea of plum blossoms.

This made her turn to look at Qin Lin. Her eyes were watery as if she was feeling touched.

Qin Lin noticed Zhao Moqing's gaze. Her watery eyes were very charming. He considered eating some Quality 2 okra tonight and then booking a room at the hotel in advance.

The opening of the villa had to be celebrated in a special way.

Chapter 36

"Boss, you're here?" When Chen Dabei saw Qin Lin bring Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing into the hall, he habitually went forward and waited for instructions.

When Lin Fen saw that someone was calling her son boss, the smile on her face grew wider. In her eyes, this was her son becoming successful. She was elated.

"Xiao Lin, hurry up and bring Moqing to the sea of flowers to take a look. I'll take a walk here myself." Lin Fen knew that young people liked romance, so she urged him in an irreversible manner.

She only wanted her son and Zhao Moqing to be fine now as she pushed the two of them out.

Qin Lin had no choice but to bring Zhao Moqing to the triangular plum blossom sea.

In the ticket hall at the entrance, Gao Yaoyao was making arrangements with a waiter.

It was opening today, and tourists would come at any time.

"Boss!" Gao Yaoyao immediately greeted the waiter when she saw Qin Lin.

Qin Lin nodded at them and held Zhao Moqing's hand as they entered the sea of flowers.

Soon, Zhao Moqing was mesmerized by the scenery of the sea of flowers.

When she arrived at the scene personally, she saw that it was even more beautiful than in the promotional video.

As she walked, she arrived at the center. Around the Quality 3 triangular plums, the beautiful scene of butterflies dancing made her take out her phone and take photos.

"How is it? Is this triangular plum blossom sea beautiful?" Qin Lin hugged Zhao Moqing from behind and praised me quickly. "That night, you said something about the triangular plum blossom in the hotel. I remembered it and specially made it for you."

This should be the most touching love talk for Zhao Moqing. However, she did not forget one thing and immediately asked Qin Lin, "Qin Lin, what's going on? Even if you sell more than 600,000 fish, it's not enough to buy this villa and the triangular plum blossom sea. Where did you get the money?"

Qin Lin knew that Zhao Moqing was not as easy to fool as his mother, so he continued to fabricate. "Didn't I sell fish to a big boss? That big boss isn't short of money. We got to know each other and I told him about the villa's plan and borrowed money from him."

Zhao Moqing was puzzled. "Is there really someone who will lend you so much money without conditions?"

Qin Lin continued to bluff. "There are conditions. The other party loves to fish as much as his life and wants me to help him catch fish again if I have the chance. Furthermore, I have to pay interest, so I have a few million more debts on me."

"Ah!" Zhao Moqing was anxious when she heard this. She reached out and pinched Qin Lin's waist angrily. "Qin Lin, you're a jerk. You didn't even discuss such a big matter with me. Aren't you afraid of being unable to repay your debts?"

Qin Lin was naturally not afraid. After all, it was all fake. Seeing that this excuse was useful, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "I want to take a gamble to make a comeback as soon as possible and bring you home openly."

When Zhao Moqing heard this, she did not probe further. She only snorted and said, "Then remember, from now on, you're not allowed to smoke or drink. You're not allowed to do dangerous things. Stay healthy and live without illness or pain because we've registered our marriage. If anything happens to you, how can I repay the millions for you?"

"You know, I don't smoke or drink, and I never do dangerous things." Qin Lin leaned closer to Zhao Moqing and kissed her mouth.

Zhao Moqing habitually hugged Qin Lin's waist.

The two of them were a little lost in their thoughts. They only separated when they could not breathe. However, a squeaking sound attracted them. They looked up and saw a few squirrels sitting in a row, stretching their heads and looking at the two of them curiously.

"They…" When Zhao Moqing saw this, she felt inexplicably shy. She felt like she and Qin Lin were being watched.

…

Qinglin Villa was outside Youcheng County. The entrance was connected to the intersection of Sand City and the city road.

A Maybach 62S suddenly stopped at the intersection.

The driver got out of the car and checked before saying respectfully to the person in the backseat, "Chairman, the right car's tire pressure is almost gone. It should have been pierced by an iron awl when we passed by the construction road previously. Now, we might have to find a nearby county to fix the tire. We'll have to stop at noon."

The chairman looked at the promotional board of Qinglin Villa in surprise. The promotional photo on it inexplicably attracted him. "This villa seems good. Send me there to take a look before you repair the car."

This promotional photo was very beautiful. It was like a work of art and was very artistic.

Was this the work of a master photographer?

He had been to many villas, and even those of the highest grade, but he was not extravagant enough to use the works of a photography master as roadside publicity photos.

"Okay, Chairman." The chauffeur nodded and drove into Qinglin Villa.

He had actually seen the sign of Qinglin Villa and was also attracted. He also thought that the person who took this promotional photo must be a top-notch photographer.

Qin Lin brought Zhao Moqing back to the hall and saw a man in a suit walking in.

This was clearly a guest.

Chen Shengfei was a little disappointed to enter the hall.

The publicity photos of the triangular sea of flowers by the roadside were very artistic. He had not entered the triangular sea of flowers yet, but along the way, when he arrived at this hall building, it was clearly far from what he had expected. Or rather, it was worlds apart from what he had expected.

The hall was not big. There were many dining tables, and a fruit shelf in the middle. It looked empty.

When Gao Yaoyao saw that a guest had arrived, she greeted him with a smile. "Sir, welcome. We have a triangular plum blossom sea to admire and jungle exploration and slippery grass to experience…"

Gao Yaoyao smiled and introduced herself professionally.

At this moment, Chen Shengfei looked at the shelf that was selling. He was stunned because the price of it surprised him.

The red strawberries were 25 yuan and 50 yuan a catty. The watermelons were 2 yuan and 10 yuan a catty. It was nothing, but the strawberries that were 200 yuan a catty, the watermelons that were 100 yuan a catty, and the okra that was 400 yuan a catty made him feel incredulous.

It was not that he had not eaten those special imported and specially cultivated high-quality products in the country, but such luxury goods at this price did not seem to appear in this villa.

After all, this villa was clearly not at that level.

"Huh?!" Chen Shengfei suddenly looked at the fish pool beside him. "Are these all wild fish?"

There were six big fish swimming in the fish pool. He recognized them. They were all wild bass, wild black carp, and wild grass carp. As he was a fishing enthusiast, he knew a little about wild fish.

However, he knew better that it was very rare to see such a big item. He could buy it even if he had the money. He did not expect to see six big items here.

Gao Yaoyao immediately said, "Sir, you have good eyes. These bass, black carp, and grass carp are all wild."

"Make me a fish," Chen Shengfei said immediately and did not ask how much it was.

The price was meaningless. He could afford it.

What was rare was this fish.

Gao Yaoyao reminded him at the right time, "Sir, there are much wild fish in our fish pond. There are also some wild fish of this size inside. If you're interested, you can rent a fishing rod from us to enjoy fishing. You might be able to catch them too."

"A lot of wild fish? There's such a big fish?" Chen Shengfei immediately asked.

Was this young lady lying to him?

He believed in there being much wild fish, but there were also some such big fish? Did she think he was a fool?

Even the largest fisherman in the city did not dare to say such things.

In his opinion, it was already very impressive that the boss here could get these six big goods.

However, this young lady did not seem to be joking. Furthermore, there were indeed six big fishes in front of him, which piqued his interest.

As a fishing enthusiast, who did not have the ambition to catch big fish?

"Young lady, then bring me to rent two fishing rods!" Chen Shengfei said immediately. Then, he pointed at the Quality 2 strawberries that cost 200 yuan a catty and said, "Weigh that strawberry for me too. I want to eat it when I'm fishing. Let's see how this tastes compared to the ones in luxury stores."

"Okay, sir." Gao Yaoyao saw that the recommendation was successful and smiled brightly. She immediately got another waiter to weigh the strawberries while she rented a fishing rod for Chen Shengfei. It was not expensive. One rod was 20 yuan, two rods were only 40 yuan, and with the bait, it was only 45 yuan.

However, Chen Shengfei was a little disappointed.

Because the fishing rod and bait were too lousy.

If the driver had not driven the car to be repaired, he would have gotten the driver to bring his fishing rod from the car.

Furthermore, the facilities at the scene were bad. There was only a small stool and table facing a muddy fish pond.

This was worlds apart from the wild fishing grounds he had gone to previously.

However, Chen Shengfei still played with the fishing rod skillfully. He placed it down and waited.

When he saw the strawberries being brought over, he went to the side to wash his hands. He picked up the strawberries and placed them in his mouth, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

However, when a strawberry was placed in his mouth, Chen Shengfei was surprised. "The taste of this strawberry…!"

Chapter 37

Chen Shengfei was confident that he had eaten all kinds of imported and special strawberries, but at the price of 200 yuan a catty, no strawberry could taste as good as what he was eating now.

This 200 yuan a catty seemed to be cheap.

It was really delicious!

With this in mind, he picked up another strawberry and ate it one by one.

Suddenly, Chen Shengfei realized that a fishing rod was moving. He hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and pulled the line. Immediately, a fish was caught.

"It's really wild fish." Chen Shengfei recognized it and revealed a surprised expression.

Soon, he caught a few more fish. They were all wild fish. This made him slowly believe the waiter's words.

However, he put these fish back. He wanted to catch a big fish.

As time passed, the villa slowly became lively.

Several groups of people arrived one after another. They were all attracted by the promotional video in the Eastern Business Square.

Gao Yaoyao had just received two waves of tourists with the waiter when two more waves of people came.

"Guests, Qinglin Villa welcomes you…"

Gao Yaoyao welcomed the guests with a smile and brought them to the ticket office.

The final price of the sea of flowers was set at 50 yuan. After all, the goal of the sea of flowers was to attract tourists. 100 yuan was still too high.

In the hall, Lin Fen looked at the increasing number of tourists with a happy expression. She only knew that with so many guests, her son's business would definitely be good.

"There are already 37 people." Zhao Moqing was calculating and said to Qin Lin, "Each person paid 50 yuan for the sea of flowers tickets, so in total, we have earned 1,850 yuan. Some of these people will definitely eat here and buy some fruits. We can earn even more."

Naturally, she did not know that it would be more than she had imagined. After all, with some seeds, the okra, strawberries, and other things Qin Lin brought out would be sold without cost.

"This is just the beginning. More people will come today." Qin Lin smiled and said, "In the future, there will be people from Sand City coming over. We'll think of a way to advertise in the city and promote it online. There will be more people. Perhaps my sea of flowers will even become an Internet celebrity attraction."

"Hmph, isn't it a good idea to build a triangular sea of flowers?" Zhao Moqing looked at Qin Lin's confident expression and inexplicably wanted to be proud.

"Of course. I'll reward you with a kiss." Qin Lin smiled and kissed Zhao Moqing's mouth.

"Woof!" The dog beside them barked and jumped at their feet. It watched the two of them flirt as if it wanted to participate.

Gao Yaoyao had already brought the new group of people to the ticket office of the sea of flowers. "Guests, you can queue in the ticket office to buy tickets and enter the sea of flowers to watch."

When the tourists heard this, they lined up in front of the ticket hall.

Chen Xue was a university student in the photography department. Her hobby was traveling around and filming some fun and interesting videos. This time, when she came back from work, she was attracted by the promotional video of Eastern Business Square.

She did not expect such a beautiful sea of flowers to appear in her hometown, so she decisively came to investigate.

When Chen Xue bought the tickets, she realized that there were pine nuts sold in the ticket hall. She thought of the squirrels in the promotional video and immediately bought a pack of pine nuts. There were not many of them, but the price was 10 yuan.

However, when she thought of those squirrels, she still bought them.

Chen Xue followed the others into the sea of flowers to check their tickets. The tickets were taken away by another waiter at the entrance. She was even reminded seriously not to hurt the small animals.

The sea of flowers did not surprise her much in the beginning. The surrounding triangular plum varieties were not much different from the ones she had seen in the past.

However, she was quickly surprised. The triangular plums around her began to give her a pleasant surprise. They were very beautiful and attractive, making her take out her phone to take photos.

As she walked forward, she was filled with surprise. Chen Xue was quickly attracted by the colorful triangular plum in front of her.

The pleasing feeling was even deeper. It gave people an extremely comfortable feeling and was difficult to describe with words.

This was naturally the effect of being gorgeous +2, ornamental +2, attractive +2, and happy +2.

The attributes of a large number of seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums would definitely make one unable to look away.

The surrounding cries of surprise continued.

"It's so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than the ones outside."

"Yes, the triangular plum in this section is clearly more beautiful than the ones outside."

"…"

Chen Xue agreed with the discussion beside her. This had already exceeded the triangular sea of plum blossoms she had seen in the past. She could not help but take out her phone and start taking photos.

"It's so beautiful!" Chen Xue took her phone and adjusted it to the best angle to shoot.

She was certain that the beautiful scenery in front of her definitely exceeded all the triangular plum blossoms in the country. Even those sea of flowers that were much larger than this could not compare to the scenery in front of her.

Not only Chen Xue, but the group of tourists who came in with her and the tourists who had come in previously were also attracted. They took photos with their phones and got their companions to take photos. All of them were immersed in the sea of flowers.

After taking two videos, Chen Xue was even more surprised to discover that the videos she took seemed to have improved a lot compared to before. There was actually a feeling of artistic conception. This was a technique that only the masters the teacher had mentioned had.

Clearly, because of the +2 attribute enhancement, the shock effect in her phone video increased.

She naturally knew her skills. The reason she was filming so beautifully now must be because the sea of flowers in front of her was really too beautiful.

When the scenery was too perfect, one could take pleasing video photos without much technology.

This was like a true beauty. Even if one took a photo of the beauty casually, she would still be extremely beautiful. There was no need to angle it or beautify her, let alone photoshop her.

Chen Xue could not help but send the video she had taken to a WeChat group and even sent a message: Sisters, let me share the beautiful scenery.

It was her university dormitory group.

"Ah, Xue Xue, what is this place? It's so beautiful!"

"Wow, it's so beautiful. So you took a leave to see the scenery."

"Xue Xue, you're a bad person. I want to go too."

"…"

Chen Xue saw her roommates' reactions and understood. They must be attracted and shocked.

However, when she reached the center, she was shocked.

When she looked at the three four-meter-tall triangular plums in the middle, she was completely attracted to them and could not look away.

She could not describe that beauty and could only subconsciously take photos with her phone.

Gorgeous +3, ornamental +3, and attractive +3 attributes were clearly more shocking.

Chen Xue really could not believe it. It was not only the flowers in front of her, but also the butterflies dancing around the three triangular plums.

There were also many birds chirping on the triangular plum. One could even see a few squirrels jumping on the branches and peeking out from time to time.

The harmonious scene was really too beautiful. It was as if this was a paradise.

Chen Xue thought of something and jogged to the three triangular plums. She took out the pine nuts she had bought previously and placed them on the flower bed. Immediately, a squirrel jumped down and picked up the pine nut.

The key was that the squirrel did not leave and was still looking at the other pine nuts in her hand.

She immediately picked up another one and placed it down. The squirrel immediately picked it up again.

This really surprised her. This squirrel was not afraid of people.

Chen Xue tried to put a pine nut on her shoulder again. To her shock, another squirrel jumped from the tree to her shoulder and grabbed the pine nut.

She picked up a pine nut and placed it in front of the squirrel. The squirrel actually reached out and caught it.

This scene almost melted her young girl's heart, and she even took the opportunity to film.

This scene also attracted the other tourists. They could not help but take photos with their phones.

Many people even regretted not buying pine nuts and immediately ran back to buy them. However, the tickets had been cut by the security guards. If they wanted to go in again, they had to buy more tickets.

But at this moment, no one cared about the 50 yuan ticket.

Chen Xue sent the video behind to the WeChat group again. The group immediately became lively again.

"Xue Xue, you're getting more and more overboard. Tell me where we are now."

"Yes, I want to go too. I want to take a leave too!"

"It's October, but there are still so many butterflies. And the squirrels are so cute."

"Xue Xue, tell me quickly where you are."

"This is a sea of flowers in my hometown." Chen Xue sent a message proudly.

After all, this sea of flowers was really too beautiful. In the future, she could proudly introduce it to her friends and invite them to play.

These words aroused even more dissatisfaction.

"Xue Xue, you're too much. I've known you for two years, but I didn't know your hometown had such a beautiful place."

"That's right. You actually haven't said that you'll bring us to see it. We can't be friends anymore."

"…"

Chen Xue smiled when she saw this message. This sea of flowers did not exist in the past. She would bring her sisters over next time.

Chapter 38

Time passed very quickly!

More tourists were attracted to the villa by the promotional video. There were already more than 100 of them, and they had earned more than 5,000 yuan just from selling tickets.

Furthermore, these people had more or less bought strawberries of Quality 1 or watermelons of Quality 1.

Ordinary people could not bear to buy watermelons worth 100 yuan a catty and strawberries worth 200 yuan a catty, but they could still afford watermelons worth 10 yuan a catty and ordinary strawberries worth 40 yuan a catty.

On the contrary, it sold better than the ordinary watermelons and strawberries Qin Lin had wholesale. This was also a psychological problem for most people. When they came out to play, they could not afford the most expensive ones, but they could not possibly eat the cheapest ones, right? They had to get a medium-grade one.

Especially those young people who brought girls to play. They could not be stingy in front of girls. They usually bought some quality ones.

The watermelon also provided a skinning and cutting service. It was cut and placed in a large transparent cup to be eaten with some toothpicks.

This way, not only would it be easier to clean the villa, but it would also give tourists a better experience.

Furthermore, the watermelons and strawberries with Quality 1 would not disappoint the tourists. The tourists who had bought them would be completely impressed after tasting them.

Therefore, just the Quality 1 strawberries alone sold 210 catties, and the watermelon also sold 165 catties. This was 10,050 yuan…

At noon, many people chose to cook lunch at the villa and rented a stove and grill.

There were already tourists picking vegetables in the vegetable field.

The Quality 1 okra that cost 10 yuan a catty also sold 65 catties, earning 975 yuan.

Of course, many people also rented fishing rods to fish. Just the rental of the fishing rod, stove, and grill cost 1,600 yuan.

Beside the fish pond.

The girls who were not interested in fishing were also accompanying their male companions with interest, looking forward to the harvest.

This was the atmosphere they came to such a villa to play.

Furthermore, the fish pond was filled with wild fish. The introduction was that it was nutritious and attractive. To be honest, most ordinary people had rarely eaten wild fish.

Suddenly, everyone by the pond was attracted by the man in a suit. Because he had raised his fishing rod, the water on the surface was splashing loudly.

Everyone looked over.

How big of a fish had he caught with such a big splash?

Chen Shengfei looked happy. After fishing for so long, he had finally caught a big fish.

From this strength alone, this fish was definitely not small.

The fish struggled to escape, while Chen Shengfei pulled the fishing rod. It actually felt like a stalemate.

Crack! The fishing rod suddenly broke, attracting everyone's attention.

The fish had broken the fishing rod.

Chen Shengfei was shocked.

Was this a joke?

Fortunately, he was fast enough to grab the other end of the broken fish. The fish seemed to be tired of struggling and was pulled out of the water.

At this moment, everyone looked at the size of the fish in surprise.

"The fish he caught is so big. It's more than 30 catties, right?"

"It's taller than our Dou Dou."

"This fish is also wild."

Many people took out their phones and took photos while Chen Shengfei struggled with the fish. This seemed to be a common habit among many people. Who did not share their Moments when they came out to play?

Furthermore, this scene was very rare. Anyone would want to show it off on their Moments.

Chen Shengfei looked at this wild grass carp and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. It seemed to weigh more than 30 catties. He had never caught such a big wild fish.

This also meant that the waitress was not lying to him. There were really wild goods in this fish pond.

When Chen Shengfei caught such a big fish, it also increased the enthusiasm of the other tourists. Many girls even urged their male companions to catch one too.

However, some people muttered and discussed.

"This kind of big item seems very expensive!"

"Yes, it's very expensive. There's a sign over there. Didn't you see it?"

"That big grass carp cost 250 yuan per catty. The big black carp and bass are even more expensive."

This price frightened many people. One catty was 250 yuan. Wouldn't more than 30 catties cost 70,000 yuan?

He should just catch a small wild fish and barbecue it!

Chen Shengfei, on the other hand, was satisfied as he used the fish rope to pass through the fish gills. He definitely had to pay for the broken fishing rod, but he did not care at all. When he carried the fish back, the fish was still struggling. He was holding it tightly. He was really happier catching this big fish than negotiating a big deal.

Beside the villa's hall, many tourists were already busy building fires on the stoves and grills in front of the half-exposed private rooms.

Chen Shengfei did not want to cook himself. His wife was very good at cooking. If his wife was here, she could cook for him. Now, he could only find a chef in the villa to cook.

After entering the hall, he found Gao Yaoyao.

Gao Yaoyao had an impression of this first guest. She looked at the 30-pound grass carp and said in surprise, "Sir, you're really lucky. You actually caught a big fish."

Chen Shengfei said in a good mood, "Young lady, help me weigh it and cook this fish."

Gao Yaoyao quickly reminded him, "Sir, we have a price for such a big item at the fish pond. It's more expensive than ordinary wild fish. 250 yuan per catty. This will probably cost a lot. Are you sure you want to cook it?"

Chen Shengfei did not care about money at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Let the chef cook. Also, get me two catties of okra that costs 400 yuan a catty. Cut one watermelon for 100 yuan a catty. Arrange a few other dishes."

He had eaten the taste of the strawberries earlier, so he was looking forward to eating all these expensive things.

"Okay, sir." Gao Yaoyao remembered the menu and immediately ordered for Master Lin in the kitchen.

"Sir, you're so lucky." Master Lin came out and was surprised to see the 30-pound grass carp Chen Shengfei had caught. Someone had really caught it with those lousy fishing rods in the villa.

How unlucky was this fish? That lousy fishing rod should not be able to withstand this weight.

After Gao Yaoyao finished writing the list, she welcomed Chen Shengfei to a table and sat down.

A moment later, a cut Quality 2 watermelon was delivered to Chen Shengfei.

Chen Shengfei picked up a piece of melon and ate it. Then, he asked Gao Yaoyao in surprise, "Young lady, your melon is a special breed, right?"

The melon tasted surprisingly good, just like the strawberry. It was even more delicious than what he had eaten before.

Gao Yaoyao quickly replied, "Sir, you guessed right. Our boss said that these are special watermelons. There are only 20 or so a day."

"This kind of melon is good." Chen Shengfei nodded.

Soon, Chen Shengfei's fish, okra, and a few vegetables were brought out of the kitchen.

Master Lin said, "Sir, you can't finish this fish at once. I only got you a fish head and a piece of meat… You can bring the rest back…"

"Okay." Chen Shengfei nodded and did not dwell on this. He picked up his chopsticks and ate.

However, not long after, his eyes shone again.

This smell! Even the dishes made by top chefs did not taste like this.

Chen Shengfei was really surprised.

He was a foodie, to begin with. He had eaten all the delicacies domestically and internationally. The taste of this fish was definitely the best in the world.

Was the chef of this small villa so powerful?

It was really too surprising.

Of course, he did not know that this was a game attribute bonus. Delicious +2, taste +2.

Chen Shengfei began to taste it slowly. He also ate the 400 yuan a catty of okra.

The taste of the okra was not special, but as he ate, he was surprised to find a warm feeling at his waist. There was even a warm current in his body, making him feel very comfortable.

Chen Shengfei really felt that it was unbelievable. This feeling was like eating a top food therapy that cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Chapter 39

Chen Shengfei felt that comfortable feeling and could not help but pick up the okra to eat.

Food therapy was a food treatment method that had been passed down since ancient times. Naturally, the food therapy he was talking about was not those useless items among the commoners. Instead, it was a true food therapy passed down from a family of traditional Chinese medicine.

Now, they still had to take the English test to get a Chinese medicine license. They also had to learn Western medicine. There were also rules that many prescriptions needed to be prescribed Western medicine. Many times, those who tested if they were compatible or not would still learn Western medicine.

On the other hand, some true Chinese medicine heritage families were ambitious. The capable old Chinese medicine doctors naturally did not take this lying down. They simply did not take the exam and only used their medical skills to show it to their family or familiar people. They did not show it to outsiders at all.

Some people simply changed careers and used the secret techniques they had passed down to start a private food therapy business. This did not require any verification.

This was true food therapy. It was really effective, but ordinary people could not even find a way.

Top-grade food therapy was something only people of a certain status could afford. Every meal was calculated at 100,000 yuan.

Chen Shengfei was also a famous person in Min Province. He had naturally eaten top-notch food therapy, but the effect might not be as strong as what he was eating now. This kind of physical comfort was very strong.

At this moment…

Among the others who stayed for lunch at the mountain villa, those who made Quality 1 wild fish and Quality 1 okra also noticed some abnormalities. Although the effect was not as good as Quality 2, it was still effective.

"Honey, this fish is very delicious today. I haven't seen you cook so well at home."

"This taste is really good. The texture is also very good. I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking?"

"…"

However, there were clearly many people who were puzzled. The fish was better and tasted better, but the vegetables picked from the other vegetable fields seemed to be no different from the ones they had made in the past. Clearly, it was easy to distinguish between the game products and ordinary ones.

On the first day of business, at noon, the villa was thriving.

Qin Lin was naturally happy about this. Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing were even happier. The villa's good business made them sigh in relief.

Master Lin also made a table of dishes for the three of them.

The three of them ate in the hall and enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

A quarrel suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

It was a couple with a child arguing with a waitress. Something seemed to have happened.

"Ma'am, your child grabbed 200 yuan a catty of red strawberries. The price has been clearly marked. Furthermore, he has been eating them secretly without being weighed." The waitress was clearly a little anxious. These strawberries were different.

There were only a few kilograms of special strawberries that cost 200 yuan per catty. This child had grabbed a lot of them at once. Furthermore, she had been eating them without even weighing them.

The woman holding the child's hand said indignantly, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my child is a thief? You're the ones who placed these two kinds of strawberries so close to each other. Can you blame us?"

"Also, why is your villa fussing over a child?"

Amidst the argument, the child seemed to be very proud. He grabbed those strawberries and ate them with relish. Clearly, he was attracted by the deliciousness of the quality 2 strawberries.

Qin Lin frowned as he watched this scene. From the conversation, he could roughly guess what had happened. It was just that a brat had done something wrong again. The parents did not want to discipline him and instead pushed the responsibility. They blamed their villa for placing the two types of strawberries so close.

Wasn't this strange? But there were really many such strange people in society nowadays.

The key was that tourists seemed to be able to take advantage of such matters.

When the couple saw the waiter's anxious look, they became even more domineering.

Qin Lin was about to go over and resolve it when Gao Yaoyao had already jogged forward. "Sir, Madam, our fruits are clearly priced. Besides, this 200 yuan per catty strawberry is marked very clearly. It's completely separated from the other strawberries. If you think we've wronged your child, we have surveillance cameras in the hall."

Gao Yaoyao's words clearly made the couple's expressions change.

However, they did not want to pay for this mistake. After all, their child was still young. It was true that the other party had placed the two types of strawberries too close to each other. Furthermore, they had placed them somewhere their child could reach.

The people around clearly saw through the entire matter. They all looked at the couple in shock. As long as they were reasonable people, such immoral people were usually the most annoying.

Especially when the brat made a mistake, it was even more annoying for a parent to be so confident.

Square dance elders who squeezed people on the bus, a naughty child's parents, and a woman with many men… These people were almost the same as the scammer profession. They crazily destroyed the social atmosphere.

Faced with the crowd, the man still wanted to save face. He pulled his wife away, but the woman refused. Instead, she took out her phone with a dark expression and took photos of Gao Yaoyao. She even shouted self-righteously, "Everyone, take a look. The price of the fruits here is sky-high. 500 yuan for a catty of strawberries. This Qinglin Villa still wants to force tourists to buy them. This is a forced sale."

The woman was clearly going all out. She wanted to fight for this and did not care about the child watching from the side.

Wasn't this a society where whoever took out the phone to film would be in the right?

"…" Gao Yaoyao was speechless!

"…" Qin Lin revealed a stunned expression. Previously, Gao Yaoyao had said that a busybody might complain about the sky-high price of fruits, making him guard against this matter. He did not expect other strange things to appear. Some things were really impossible to guard against.

Chen Shengfei was eating happily when he saw this scene. He could not stand it anymore and walked forward. He said to Gao Yaoyao, "Pack these watermelons, strawberries, and okra for me. Not everyone knows what this special breed is. Some people have never seen a real sky-high price."

Gao Yaoyao said in surprise, "Sir, you said to pack it all?"

Qin Lin, who was watching from the side, looked at Chen Shengfei in surprise.

Although these watermelons, strawberries, and okra of Quality 2 were not much, they cost about 25,000 yuan in total.

"Pack them all. I want them all!" Chen Shengfei could not stand it when someone made a scene. He did not forget to say to the woman, "In front of the child, remember that you're a mother. Don't let the child imitate you."

These words made the woman's face turn green and white.

However, the stubbornness of such a person clearly exceeded Chen Shengfei's imagination.

The woman aimed her phone at Chen Shengfei and took a photo. "Look, not only is this Qinglin Villa selling fruits at an astronomical price, but they also especially found a backer to mock us, tourists, for not being able to afford fruits…"

"…" Chen Shengfei was stunned.

The surrounding tourists were stunned by this. Finally, someone could not stand it anymore.

"You're already the child's mother. Can't you be a role model for the child?!"

"How ridiculous. This gentleman is wearing a custom-made KION Western suit. The basic price starts from 50,000 yuan."

"This gentleman's watch is…"

"…"

Clearly, there were still many discerning people. Furthermore, everyone saw all of this.

At this moment, the man could not hold it in anymore. He knew that his wife had lost face and pulled her out.

"Sir, you haven't paid yet." Gao Yaoyao did not forget to shout at the man. "If you want to skip the bill, we can choose to call the police."

Her husband was frustrated and could only return under the disdainful gazes of the surroundings. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry. How much is it?"

"We'll settle the bill here!" Gao Yaoyao said unhappily to such a person.

The woman watched all of this angrily. She was clearly about to explode from anger. She did not notice that a young man had arrived beside her child.

"Little kid, well done. In the future, no matter where you are, you have to secretly catch and eat good food. You'll get a reward that way." The young man praised the child and even handed the strawberry he had bought to him. "Look, this is the reward you got this time!"

"Okay!" The child nodded happily with the strawberry.

The woman beside him seemed to be the young man's companion. She could not stand it anymore and kicked the young man silently.

A moment later, the man paid and pulled his cursing wife away.

However, the woman could not take this lying down at all.

In the hall.

Chen Shengfei did not care about the gazes around him and continued eating. This fish was really too delicious. He did not want to waste it at all.

Qin Lin called Gao Yaoyao over and praised her, "You did well earlier. Work hard!"

He was quite satisfied with Gao Yaoyao's performance earlier. Although she still had some shortcomings, at least she would not be at a loss like the other waiter.

Qin Lin looked at Chen Shengfei with interest.

This person was clearly a true tycoon and did not seem to be from Youcheng County. He was curious why he was here.

In the afternoon, Chen Shengfei's chauffeur drove over. Chen Shengfei also got the chauffeur to help him move his packed things into the car.

Gao Yaoyao also reported to Qin Lin, "Boss, Mr. Chen spent 31,432 yuan here."

"I understand." Qin Lin nodded and grabbed a Quality 2 grass carp and a Quality 2 black carp from the fish pool in the hall.

He was naturally going to give it to Mr. Chen.

Firstly, he wanted to thank him for his help. Secondly, this was a high-end customer source. It cost more than 30,000 yuan per person. If he could develop more customers through him, it would be much better than ordinary customers.

Other than attracting ordinary tourists, the villa naturally had to try to develop such a high-end customer source.

Chapter 40

Qin Lin carried the Quality 2 grass carp and Quality 2 black carp to the parking lot. When he saw the Maybach 62S, he knew that Mr. Chen was definitely richer than he had imagined.

This car seemed to be worth tens of millions and was very famous because this was Jack Ma's car. Furthermore, many famous and wealthy people drove this car.

"Mr. Chen, I'm the boss of the villa. My surname is Qin." Qin Lin carried two fish and handed them to the driver. "Thank you for speaking up for me earlier, Mr. Chen. I don't have anything to thank you for, so take these two fish as a thank you."

"So it's Boss Qin!" Chen Shengfei looked at the two fish in surprise. "Boss Qin, you're really generous with these two wild fish."

To him, no matter how expensive a gift others gave him, it would not surprise him. After all, he was very rich. There were not many people who were richer than him. If others could buy it, he could naturally buy it too. He could even buy more.

However, he was really surprised by these two wild big goods. These big goods were rare, and he could not buy them even if he had money.

Furthermore, he had already eaten this fish. The meal earlier made him feel comfortable.

Qin Lin smiled and said confidently, "Mr. Chen, I don't have anything else, just this kind of wild fish. Please, come anytime. I can provide it at any time."

"Boss Qin, this is your ability. Just from your words, I'll come again when I have time," Chen Shengfei said sincerely.

He did not doubt Qin Lin's words. After all, he had casually given two wild goods. There were a few in the hall, and there were still some in the fish pond. If he was not capable, how could he bear to do this?

With Chen Shengfei's words, Qin Lin's goal was achieved. "Then I'll wait for you, Mr. Chen."

After Chen Shengfei left, Qin Lin returned to the hall. Then, he curiously took out his phone and went online to check on Chen Shengfei.

What he did not expect was that when he checked, he really found it. A lot of information popped up on the home page…

What was even more unbelievable was that the other party had a company called the Blue Ocean Corporation. One had to know that this company was very famous and awesome in Min Province. Many of the photos found were photos of Chen Shengfei and the official leader.

He was really awesome. He did not expect such a person to be attracted on the first day of business. He instantly felt that the value of his two big gifts was huge.

…

In the afternoon.

The number of guests attracted to the villa was no less than in the morning. The villa was still lively. From 4 pm onwards, smoke rose from the stove again. The people who stayed in the villa to cook had already begun to cook together.

There were many people who did not know how to cook.

Qin Lin also pulled the ripe Quality 2 strawberry pick to the villa. As for the ripe okra, he sent it to RT-Mart. After all, the game could produce 3,000 catties of okra a day. The villa could not consume it at all.

It was not until dark that all the tourists left one after another. Only one or two crazy people rented tents and camped in the villa.

On the first day, the villa welcomed a good start.

Gao Yaoyao and the other employees were exhausted, but everyone had a smile on their faces.

They could not wait to be so tired all day because their boss had already promised that they were not getting a dead salary now. There was also a commission. The more tired they were, the better their business would be, and the higher the commission would be.

Zhao Moqing was also typing on her laptop at the counter.

She was calculating the villa's income today. She was in the tax industry and was familiar with this.

"I've calculated it." Zhao Moqing handed the laptop to Qin Lin. When she saw the amount on it, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Qin Lin still owed millions of yuan outside this villa.

Qin Lin took it and saw that the villa had actually received a total of 238 tourists today. In other words, 11,900 flowers had been sold. In addition, Chen Shengfei had packed all the Quality 2 watermelons, strawberries, and okra.

The 300 catties of Quality 1 okra that had been reserved were sold out. The 303 catties of strawberries that had matured in the morning were all sold. The ripe ones in the afternoon were also sold for 190 catties.

This total income was 47,344 yuan.

Also, the income of one Quality 2 wild black carp and 45 Quality 1 wild fish had reached 29,165 yuan.

On the other hand, the other pine nuts, vegetables from the vegetable garden, fishing rod rent, jungle adventure, slippery grass, drinks, rented stove, grill… All of these only cost 18,813 yuan.

Therefore, the total turnover of the villa today had reached 107,222 yuan.

The turnover exceeded 100,000 yuan.

Although this turnover was thanks to Chen Shengfei's takeaway, this was also the first day. Furthermore, it was not a weekend. More tourists would definitely be attracted next, especially on the weekend.

Zhao Moqing did not know how much profit Qin Lin's villa had, but with a turnover of more than 100,000 yuan, in her opinion, after deducting the cost and labor salary, it should definitely be profitable. Qin Lin could at least repay the debt.

This was good news.

However, she did not know that in this 100,000 yuan turnover, other than vegetables, pine nuts, and drinks, there was almost nothing else.

Coupled with the income of 15,673 yuan from the okra sent to RT-Mart, even if he paid the stipulated 5.6% business tax and the additional 2% individual business tax, after deducting the salary and other fees of Gao Yaoyao and the other employees, his income today would definitely exceed 100,000 yuan.

Of course, he could not tell anyone about this. It was best to make a fortune silently.

Furthermore, as the business grew, the bills had to be done more secretly. No one could discover it, or they had to think of a better way in the future.

After the guests left, Qin Lin got Master Lin to cook a table of dishes. He even killed a Quality 2 black carp and a few Quality 1 wild fish to reward everyone.

When the dishes were served, Qin Lin got everyone to sit down and raised a cup of drink. "Those who can drink, drink. Those who can't drink, drink juice. Let me toast everyone first. It's a good start today. Everyone has worked hard. Let's celebrate! I'll give everyone a 200 yuan red packet."

The employees did not expect an unexpected surprise. Although 200 yuan was not a lot, they were happy to receive an unexpected reward. Gao Yaoyao and the other girls even shouted unscrupulously, "Long live Boss!"

After that, they all got up enthusiastically and toasted Qin Lin.

Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing were clearly very relieved to see this. One was for their son, and the other was for their husband.

After the celebration party ended, Qin Lin drove his mother and Zhao Moqing back to the county city. When they arrived at Ming Yuan District in the East City, Zhao Moqing got out of the car. After saying goodbye to Qin Lin and Lin Fen, she walked into the district happily.

Today, the tense string in her heart inexplicably relaxed a little.

After stealing the household register and secretly registering their marriage, she felt a little guilty about dealing with her parents. Although she always told Qin Lin that she wanted to lay her cards on the table, she was also afraid of doing so.

She knew that what she had done was disrespectful to her parents and that she had let them down.

Qin Lin had given her a huge surprise today. If this continued, she believed that Qin Lin would be able to repay the money and everything would develop in a good direction.

However, Qin Lin still owed a few million yuan. She did not want to tell her parents for the time being. She was afraid that this would scare her parents even more. After all, a few million yuan was not a small sum.

When she returned home, Zhao Moqing saw her sister-in-law looking at her phone.

"Moqing, come and see quickly!" When Li Jiawen saw that Zhao Moqing had returned, she pulled her back and said, "Qinglin Villa posted on their Moments today. A few of my WeChat friends posted on their Moments. Furthermore, many people in Douyin also posted videos. The sea of flowers is really beautiful. When I have time, I must go with your brother and invite more people to form a group."

"Then I'll give you some tickets." Zhao Moqing smiled and took out a stack of tickets to the venue and shook them in front of Li Jiawen.

When she returned, Qin Lin had given her a lot of tickets to give away.

"Moqing, where did you get so many tickets?" Li Jiawen was instantly surprised. "Give me a few more. My friends want to see that sea of flowers too."

Zhao Moqing smiled and took out more than ten tickets and handed them to her sister-in-law.

"Huh?!" Li Jiawen took the tickets with one hand and swiped Douyin with the other. Suddenly, she said in surprise, "Moqing, look at this video. Something seems to have happened to Qinglin Villa. Our Youcheng County has a media account criticizing Qinglin Villa. Besides, how can this Qinglin Villa be like this? Isn't it too much?"

"?" Zhao Moqing frowned when she heard this. She immediately leaned forward and frowned.

"Everyone, look. Qinglin Villa sells fruits at an astronomical price and even forced tourists to buy them. This is a forced sale… Not only does Qinglin Villa sell fruits at an astronomical price, but they also found an actor who mocked us, tourists, for not being able to afford fruits…"

In the video, a woman's indignant voice was heard.

"…" Zhao Moqing was stunned. Wasn't this voice that unreasonable woman?

This woman had left the villa in dejection today. She actually complained first and posted the video online?

How could there be such a person in this world?

The key was that there was actually a self-media number to help. Why didn't the other party investigate and understand the situation?

Li Jiawen looked at the video and scolded, "This is too much. Isn't this Qinglin Villa bullying customers? I originally wanted to go, but I don't want to go now."

"…" Zhao Moqing looked at the video and realized that there were already a lot of likes for this video. In the video from the same city, many people even scolded it.

"Hehe, this Qinglin Villa must be crazy about money!"

"I'm a mutt. I can't afford to eat 200 yuan a catty of strawberries. Do you think I should go to this scenic area?"

"I've seen people snatch money, but I've never seen someone snatch it openly. This Qinglin Villa will be cold when it opens."

" The relevant department, seal him directly!"

"…" Zhao Moqing.

She could not express the anger in her heart now.

Chapter 41

When Zhao Moqing saw these curses, she could not help but feel angry. They were all a group of keyboard warriors who typed on the keyboard without knowing the truth. This certain voice was really reasonable.

However, this twisted fact was actually supported by so many keyboard warriors.

The key was that even her sister-in-law had been affected and could not help but seek justice. She knew that her sister-in-law was not a keyboard warrior, but she followed the crowd. There were many keyboard warriors, and everyone's mouths were gold. Those who followed the crowd also this post.

It was because of this that the logic on the Internet sometimes allowed those who took videos with their phones to call the shots. Many people were forced to collapse because of such 'justice'.

It was also because the Internet was so turbid that rational people were often not in a hurry to comment.

If they let the bullet fly for a little longer, things would eventually become clear. This was to prevent the situation from turning around and embarrassing itself.

Zhao Moqing immediately took out her phone and called Qin Lin. She wanted to tell Qin Lin this news.

On the other side.

When Qin Lin returned home, he took a shower and played with Wang Cai before entering his room to plan.

Today, the villa had a good start and earned more than 100,000 yuan a day. It also filled him with confidence. The tourism management professional knowledge he had learned in university was finally useful.

Other than the game in his mind, his biggest reliance now was naturally the 30 acres of triangular plum blossom sea. He was confident that, in terms of size, there was no one in China who could compare to his sea of flowers. As long as the publicity was good, it could attract more tourists.

What was the point in receiving 238 tourists? Those top summer villas in the country could even receive 20,000 tourists a day.

Of course, his small villa did not have the ability to receive so many guests, but it was still possible to increase the number of guests by two or three times.

At that time, the villa could not only have a sea of flowers. It could not only have that small adventure in the forest and slippery grass.

They lacked the ability to play and squeeze the tourists' wallets dry. Those who could come out to play did not care how much money they spent.

Especially some young people. They brought girls out to play, but the villa only asked them to fork out less than 300 yuan. If they were embarrassed, the villa should be even more embarrassed.

Therefore, he wanted to develop a new project. Not only did this project have to interest tourists attracted by the sea of flowers, but it also had to make them have fun and pay from their wallets.

He had seen the terrain around the villa. Actually, there was a natural good project. There was a lake and a dam around the villa, naturally because there were many rivers.

A river that crossed beside the villa led straight to the top of a mountain. It could completely build a 10-kilometer, two-hour high mountain drift project. It was definitely possible to sell it for 150 yuan per person.

Drifting was also a popular project in modern travel and fun.

In many villas and scenic spots, it was a necessary project. Many people without river conditions had even created dry land rafting and glass slipstream rafting…

However, to build a drifting project, the investment was not low. The most important thing was to build a floating river. With the river conditions, it was probably no less than a million yuan in 10 kilometers. There was also the construction of a tourist service center, warehouse, bathroom, cooling room, ticket office, drift supermarket, waiting long cables, starting and ending docks, and so on.

Other than that, there were rubber candy, life jackets, helmets, inflatable equipment, boat carriers, tourist sightseeing vehicles, cisterns, and simple mountain roads.

This would probably cost more than five million yuan.

However, if there was this drifting project, the villa's level would increase greatly.

Furthermore, according to the villa's current momentum, it could earn 100,000 yuan a day and at least three million yuan a month. It was completely capable of handling this project.

If the publicity was good and the tourists increased, the floating investment could be earned in less than a month.

Therefore, the key now was still publicity. He thought of a certain music platform. Those popular villas and hostels had become Internet celebrities through a certain music platform.

As long as the publicity was good, even an ordinary place could attract a sea of tourists.

Qin Lin was making a plan when he received a call from Zhao Moqing.

He picked up the call immediately. "You miss me so quickly? Why don't I book a room at the hotel and pick you up now?"

Zhao Moqing said anxiously, "You still have time to be mischievous? Look at Douyin's video from the same city. That unreasonable woman is slandering the villa today."

Qin Lin frowned and logged into Douyin after hanging up. He chose the same city and saw a woman's arrogant video. "Everyone, take a look. Qinglin Villa is forcing tourists to buy…"

"What the f*ck…" Qin Lin was speechless. Why were some people so pretentious?

If not for the fact that there were too many such people, this world would probably be much more harmonious.

The key was that this video was clearly a self-media account. It had 250,000 fans.

Did the owner of this video not investigate? Was he brainless? Was he just trying to uphold justice?

This video had already received a lot of likes. It was already the hottest topic in the city.

He looked at the video comments. They were all scolding his villa. If this continued, his villa's business would definitely be affected.

After all, a person's subjective consciousness was very strong. Once they decided that something was bad, they would have a very strong subconscious.

However, he was not in a hurry. This woman seemed to have forgotten that there was a surveillance video in the villa.

Furthermore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the villa's surveillance cameras had audio pickup devices that could clearly hear the live conversation.

He did not expect it to really be used.

However, did the other party not know that he would be held legally responsible for spreading slander and destroying someone else's reputation?

"It's just that these likes don't seem to meet the standards of a prison sentence." Qin Lin frowned and opened the video. Then, he chose Dou+ to help him become a trending topic. The price slid to the right.

Feeling that one account was not enough, Qin Lin registered two more accounts and helped this video become a trending topic. The price slid to the right.

Then, switching between his three accounts, he boosted the video to the hot search for the second time.

After a few waves, it cost him 10,000 yuan.

Naturally, this would help this video become a hot topic and let more people know about the video that was defaming him.

After tonight, there might be countless people scolding him online. If he broke through the flow pool, the entire Internet might scold him.

After all, such incidents were what the netizens were most concerned about. It was also the favorite video of those keyboard warriors who had no sense of justice.

However, this was his best chance to promote the villa. It might become an Internet celebrity attraction.

Because of reverse psychology.

Many incidents on the Internet proved that the more grievances one suffered in the beginning, the more benefits the person who was smeared would receive when the situation was reversed.

Those keyboard warriors would immediately delete their offensive comments. Then, they would once again act as if they had long known this and change their tune.

"Next, I'll wait for the video to spread before calling the police," Qin Lin muttered to himself.

If others came to steal his job, he would not forgive them.

At this moment…

On the other side, a woman was also watching the video excitedly on her phone.

"Hubby, this villa is going to be unlucky." Lin Chunlan said to her husband with a smug expression. She did not forget to say to the young man beside her, "Cousin, thank you for helping me vent my anger this time."

Beside him, Lin Chunlan's husband shook his head helplessly. Since they were already back, they should just let the matter pass. However, his wife insisted on fighting for this.

Guo Huai was also smiling when he saw the likes notification backstage, but he still asked for confirmation, "Cousin, Cousin-in-law, you have to be sure that what you say is true. After all, I plan to make this hot."

He had been working on this account for almost three years and only had 250,000 fans. Some of them were even bought with money and did not create any hot topics.

This time, the matter of his cousin and sister-in-law being forced to purchase fruits in Qinglin Villa was definitely a popular social event.

This matter could definitely help him increase his fans.

Therefore, he decided to invest 2,000 yuan in Dou+ to increase the first wave of traffic to see the effect.

Lin Chunlan said nonchalantly, "Cousin, didn't I show you the video? How can it be fake?"

Guo Huai nodded and decisively took out his phone to play Dou+.

After all, they were all family. He did not suspect anything. His cousin had been very good to him since he was young.

Chapter 42

Guo Huai quickly threw out 2,000 yuan on Dou+ and waited for the video to spread.

Within a few minutes, he realized that the likes and comments had increased crazily. In particular, the number of likes had increased unexpectedly. The number of fans had also increased significantly.

"The effect seems to be surprisingly good." Guo Huai's face revealed excitement.

This seemed to be the rhythm of spending 2,000 yuan to be on the hot search.

Lin Chunlan was also paying attention to this video. When she saw that there were more and more likes, she could not help but look proud.

The other party had made her look bad in front of so many people, and she was making it impossible for the other party to continue operating this villa.

Who would go if their reputation was bad?

On the other side.

Qin Lin looked at the effect of the 10,000 yuan Dou+ he had thrown in and revealed a smug expression.

The more popular, the better.

He still had one thing to do now, which was to ensure that after this matter became popular, there would be no accidents.

However, as the video began to ferment, he also received three calls. They were from Gao Yaoyao, Master Lin, and Chen Dabei.

He had just comforted Gao Yaoyao and the other two when he saw Qin Ren's call.

He was also planning to look for Qin Ren and immediately picked up.

"Lin Zi, why did Guo Huai call your villa? What happened?" Qin Ren asked with concern. They were all in Youcheng County, so he naturally knew who the media account belonged to.

The other party was one of the first self-media accounts in Youcheng County. This account had been in operation for three years and was still very famous in Youcheng County.

Their studio had also created a self-media account, but they did not have many fans. Only the customers and acquaintances from the past paid attention.

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "I met an unreasonable person. By the way, Da Ren, you're in the advertising industry. Can you find a group of Internet ghostwriters?"

Qin Ren replied, "Yes, you want to find Internet ghostwriters to explain this?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "No, let them slander me, especially that person in the video. It's best if they scold me as badly as possible."

"Alright, I'll help you deal with it." Qin Ren did not refuse. However, after hanging up, he looked at Chen Shengfei in the video in confusion. There must be a reason why Lin Zi hired ghostwriters to slander him.

"Hu Fei, can you check who this person is?" Qin Ren asked a partner beside him. The other party studied computer technology, so it was not difficult to find some information online.

Hu Fei looked at the video and nodded.

He had also seen this video and knew that Qin Ren definitely wanted to help his brother. If he could help, he would not reject him. After all, after filming the other party's promotional video, their company's media account had gained some fans. That promotional video could be their signature.

After Hu Fei operated the computer for a while, he suddenly cursed. "F*ck…"

"What's wrong?" Qin Ren asked.

"Look for yourself. This kind of person is a shill? What's Guo Huai thinking?" Hu Fei pointed at Chen Shengfei's photo on the computer and said, "How can the chairman of the Blue Ocean Corporation be a shill? Is this Guo Huai brainless? With a word from him, his account might be in vain despite working hard for three years."

Qin Ren now knew why Qin Lin had hired ghostwriters to defame himself and had even specially defamed Chen Shengfei. He immediately said to Guo Zhen, "Contact the ghostwriters and help defame Qin Lin, especially Chen Shengfei. By the way, tag the official account of the other party."

Hu Fei looked at Qin Ren in surprise and said, "F*ck, are you trying to kill Guo Huai? But I like it. I've been unhappy with this guy for a long time. He keeps asking women out to show off. By the way, we can also ride on his popularity and advertise for our studio!"

Qin Ren nodded and said, "After this video ferments for a night, we'll send a video tomorrow to reveal Chen Shengfei's true identity and help Lin Zi stand on the stage. At the same time, we'll freeload."

A moment later, the ghostwriters flooded Guo Huai's video comment section. This also made Guo Huai's video more and more popular.

More and more people started cursing. Under the guidance of the Internet ghostwriters, most of the curses began to target Chen Shengfei in the video.

"F*ck, is this person stupid? He's being a pawn for this seller."

"He looks like someone who can't earn any money, and his wife has even cheated on him. He's really doing anything to earn money."

"He's so good at pretending. He even bought everything. Who doesn't know that he's a shill?"

"While being a shill, his wife is still at home fooling around with other men, right?"

"…"

It was as if everyone was wantonly promoting their own justice and sending comments that they thought were righteous and vicious to Chen Shengfei in the video.

These people did not know that they had already become pawns led by others.

Time passed.

The next day came quickly.

In a luxurious villa in the city, Chen Shengfei stretched comfortably. His wife, Tang Wan, had already gotten up to put on her clothes. When she saw him wake up, she said with a flushed face, "Hubby, did you eat something last night? You're even better than usual!"

"Really?" Chen Shengfei smiled and hugged his wife. Although she was already in her 30s, she had money and took good care of herself. She was at her most charming.

Furthermore, he also realized that he felt comfortable all over today. He had always felt weak after being squeezed dry by his wife in the past.

"Hmph!" Tang Wan pouted and said with satisfaction, "Didn't you count how many times we did it last night?"

This reminded him of something. The okra seemed to have this effect, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Shengfei said to his wife, "Get the nanny to get me more of the okra I brought back."

He guessed that the okra was not simple. Last night, he was only focused on eating the fish and did not notice it.

Tang Wan was very satisfied last night. She would naturally satisfy Chen Shengfei's small request early in the morning. She actually helped him get the okra personally.

Chen Shengfei went downstairs. After eating the okra he had brought back, he quickly revealed a surprised expression. The warm feeling at his waist appeared again.

In other words, it was really related to the okra?

This was good stuff!

400 yuan a catty was completely worth it.

He did not care about this effect. What was more important than making his wife look at him contentedly?

Chen Shengfei went to the corporation happily, but as soon as he entered the office, his secretary rushed forward to report, "Chairman, someone is defaming you!"

"?" Chen Shengfei frowned. Which competitor was doing this under the table?

However, when he took the video and looked at it, he was f*cking dumbfounded. It was what happened at Boss Qin's villa.

He was not in the mood to argue with such a small fry yesterday.

However, this did not mean that the other party could jump around in front of him, especially when he saw some comments defaming his wife. How could he tolerate this?

"Get the company's legal team to send a lawyer's letter to Douyin!" Chen Shengfei instructed calmly and then ignored it. This matter was actually nothing compared to the company's major matters.

"Okay!" The secretary respectfully withdrew and went to the company's legal department.

Youcheng County.

Guo Huai woke up early and picked up his phone to log into Douyin. He checked his video and found that there were already more than 300,000 likes, and it was still increasing.

This made him unusually excited.

It was completely popular. Even his fans had increased a lot and were close to 300,000. At this rate, with some manipulation, it was possible to exceed 500,000 fans.

Guo Huai knew very well what the premise of a media account's rapid increase in fans was. It was to create a popular video so that he could have a chance to enter the official traffic pool.

Indeed, this kind of social problem was the most important.

Guo Huai scrolled through some videos proudly and realized that other bloggers had already started to take advantage of this matter. This was a good thing. It meant that he had already entered the traffic pool, and his fans would increase.

Suddenly, he saw a video from a studio. The person who sent the video was someone he knew. Wasn't the other party Hu Fei from Youcheng County?

Previously, he had seen the other party at a Youcheng County media gathering. The other party's studio had also created a media advertising account, but it was nothing. He wanted to brag in front of a girl, but he was rejected.

"This guy is also trying to gain popularity!" Guo Huai's face was filled with disdain, but as the video played, the content made his expression change instantly.

Chapter 43

The video released by Qin Ren's studio was a clarification video. Because of the popularity of Guo Huai's video, this video had a lot of attention.

"First of all, we have to make it clear that our studio was the one who made the promotional video for the sea of flowers in Qinglin Villa. In addition, is the person who posted that defamatory video a fool? Shouldn't he investigate the other party's identity if he were to defame him? The man in the video is actually the chairman of Blue Ocean Corporation in the city which is one of the top corporations in the entire Min Province. Why would he need to be a shill?"

"In addition, we've already understood that this matter was caused by a brat who was insensible and made a mistake. His unreasonable parents did not think about education and instead made a scene. Do they really think that it's reasonable to hold a phone and take a video?"

At the end of the video, there was also a surveillance video of the villa and the current conversation captured by the audio recorder. Qin Ren had specially taken this from Qin Lin.

When this video was released, the same city had already exploded.

When the promotional video of Qinglin Villa hung up on the open-air video of the Eastern Business Square, it was already popular. Yesterday's incident made Qinglin Villa even more popular. However, last night, it was popular for the wrong reason. Everyone was scolding Qinglin Villa.

No one expected things to turn around overnight?

Qin Ren's studio was also willing to spend a lot of money and invested in Dou+. Under the hot topic of Guo Huai's video, their video also became popular. Even Chen Shengfei became a little popular. Many videos introducing Chen Shengfei appeared.

This was naturally because those in the city who knew about Chen Shengfei's media account were trying to gain popularity.

In a short period of time, things had become another topic that society cared about.

Now, there were too many naughty children making mistakes and their parents being unreasonable. Naturally, it was more dramatic for unreasonable parents to treat a person like Chen Shengfei as a shill. It made this parent seem ignorant and stupid.

Therefore, the people who had seen the video yesterday were stunned.

This reversal made them unable to react.

Many people looked at their abusive comments and silently chose to delete them. Then, their sense of justice erupted again and they commented again, "Little brat…"

After watching the video, Guo Huai hurriedly took out his phone and went online to search for information about Blue Ocean Corporation. When he saw Chen Shengfei's information, his legs felt weak.

"Damn it, you guys killed me!" Guo Huai cursed angrily.

He did not investigate seriously because he believed in his cousin and cousin-in-law and wanted to use this matter to gain more fans. Who knew that his cousin-in-law would actually cheat him? The shill he talked about actually had such an identity?

He immediately wanted to delete this video, but he suddenly received a system notification. "Your video is suspected of illegal dissemination. It has been banned."

Immediately after, another official system notification appeared. "Your account is suspected of illegal video transmission. The situation is serious. Your account has been permanently banned."

"No… No…" Guo Huai was anxious.

For three years, in order to get this self-media account, he had spent a lot of money on materials, filming, and spending money on Dou+. He had only started to earn money this year. Furthermore, he had accepted two advertisements. If his account was gone, he would have to compensate double.

Guo Huai anxiously took out his phone and contacted Douyin's official management, but he found that he had been blocked.

He was stunned.

The self-media account with more than 200,000 fans was clearly insignificant to Douyin, especially after it was sent a lawyer's letter by a lawyer team. How could they care about your life?

It was fine if he did not continue to pursue the matter. If he continued to pursue it, he would be dead meat.

"It's over!" Guo Huai was not stupid. He knew his situation. He called his cousin-in-law in frustration. "Cousin-in-law, didn't you tell me that it was true? Why is this happening? I treat you like family, but you actually tricked me like this? You're worse than dogs."

Lin Chunlan was clearly unhappy to be scolded. "It's just a video, just delete it. I'm the one suffering, it's all been filmed. I don't know how I'll go to work."

With that, Lin Chunlan hung up angrily.

"F*ck…" Guo Huai smashed his phone angrily. Could this be resolved by deleting the video?

Wasn't it just a video?

Not to mention that he was about to vomit blood.

If the other party called the police and accused them of slandering and damaging their reputation, with hundreds of thousands of likes and so many videos to ride on their popularity, they would have to eat three free meals.

He finally knew what it meant by the more you trusted someone, the more they might trap you to death.

…

In the morning, Qin Lin left 300 catties of ripe okra behind and sent the remaining okra to the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, he saw Gao Yaoyao running out excitedly. "Boss, do you know who that Mr. Chen is? He's the chairman of a large corporation in the city. The media account that slandered you is in trouble. His video and account were blocked just now."

She was also very worried about the villa being slandered. She had been paying attention to the development of the matter. Now that she saw Qin Lin, she could not help but report the good news.

Qin Lin got Chen Dabei to unload the things in the car with the security guard and took out his phone to look.

As expected, he could not see the video from yesterday. Even his account had been blocked.

This was within his expectations. Once Mr. Chen's identity was revealed, even if Mr. Chen did not speak, Douyin would probably not tolerate the person who sent the video. After all, it was Douyin who was in the wrong. They were also afraid that Mr. Chen would find trouble with them.

However, he would not let it go if others criticized him.

If it were another situation and he had no way to retaliate, his villa might be finished. All his efforts during this period of time would have been in vain.

Furthermore, he knew very well that if he met such a tourist this time and did not deal with it, such an incident might occur again.

Therefore, Qin Lin left the villa and went straight to the Youcheng Police Station.

There was a criminal law called libel.

Slandering someone's reputation, as long as it spread to a certain extent or caused serious mental damage to the victim, would constitute slander. According to the severity, it would be sentenced to less than three years in prison, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.

However, this criminal law also left room for negotiation. Other than seriously endangering social order and the interests of the country, it was only dealt with when told.

The so-called "only deal with what you tell" referred to the crime of defamation. The court would only accept it if the victim confessed. Otherwise, it meant that they would provide a private settlement.

This also caused the cost of defamation to be too low. Many people on the Internet were unscrupulous. Once such a thing happened, the victims would squeeze tears and admit their mistakes or push the blame on the young and ignorant. Many victims would forget about it.

Some people would even take out money and settle it privately.

When many victims saw that it had already happened, they wanted to get some benefits and accepted it.

Of course, there were also people who did not like these two sets because they wanted to teach you a lesson. If the situation was serious, they could only go in and eat three free meals.

Qin Lin wanted to make an example of him now, so he was determined to report the case first.

It was the parent's fault for not educating the brat. If the parent knew that and still threw a tantrum, he would educate this parent on behalf of society and be a role model for this brat.

Qin Lin entered the police station and registered the case. He also provided evidence. Actually, the video was so big that the police officers in Youcheng Police Station knew about it, so they accepted it easily.

After that, the police station asked Qin Lin to go back first and start investigating the woman's identity in the video.

…

On the other side, Guo Huai's expression turned even uglier when he received the message on his phone.

"Mr. Guo, your account has been blocked and you have failed to fulfill the advertisement contract. I hope you can compensate us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will sue you…"

He had accepted two advertisements. If he compensated according to the contract, it would not be enough even if he sold his car.

This made him angrier the more he thought about it. In order to help his cousin and cousin-in-law vent their anger, his career had been ruined, but this cousin-in-law actually acted as if nothing had happened.

Guo Huai drove straight to his cousin's house. When he reached the door, he knocked fiercely.

"Cousin, you're here?" His cousin said awkwardly. "I know this has affected you, but the videos have been blocked. I'll treat you to a meal to apologize."

"Is that something that can be resolved with a meal?" Guo Huai roared angrily. "Do you know that my account has been blocked because I helped you? I spent more than 100,000 yuan on this number. Two advertisements flew away. Now, I have to compensate more than 200,000 yuan. You have to pay this money. Otherwise, I won't let you off."

When Lin Chunlan heard this, she walked out unhappily. "Guo Huai, this is your fault. I just showed you the video and complained to you. Don't think I don't know that you want to use this video to increase your popularity. Now that something has happened, you're looking for us to make a scene."

Guo Huai almost vomited blood when he heard this. He finally knew what kind of person his cousin-in-law was. No wonder she had done such an embarrassing thing in Qinglin Villa.

As they were arguing, they suddenly saw a few police officers going upstairs.

When one of the police officers saw the three of them, he said, "Ms. Lin Chunlan and Mr. Jiang Hang, I hope you can cooperate with us to investigate the defamation of Qinglin Villa. Also, please tell us the owner of the account of Huaiying Media in Youcheng County."

When she heard this, Lin Chunlan was instantly dumbfounded. She thought it was just a small matter and did not expect the police to come looking for her. She was so frightened that her legs felt weak.

Chapter 44

Qinglin Villa had really become famous these days.

On the first day, the trending topic of the villa's forced sale caused an uproar. This was a social problem that attracted attention.

The next day, the incident suddenly reversed and turned into a naughty child making a mistake. A parent's unreasonable social topic or such a naughty child making a mistake was more infuriating.

After all, there were often brats on the Internet who made mistakes and caused huge losses, but the parents wanted to use the excuse that he was only a child to brush it off.

Some parents even said confidently that the law could not control their children and acted as if it was a matter of course.

This also made Qinglin Villa even more popular.

Therefore, Qin Ren's studio's media account also gained a wave of fans. As a thank you, Qin Ren's studio also released the promotional video of the triangular plum blossom sea that had been filmed previously when it was at its most popular. It helped Qin Lin attract popularity to the triangular plum blossom sea.

Instantly, the art-like sea of flowers promotional video attracted a huge wave of popularity.

Everyone who saw the video was attracted by the sea of flowers in the video.

Because it was really beautiful.

Under the effect of the entry, every scene seemed to have been carefully carved by a great artist.

Especially the video in the center. The sea of flowers was so charming that one could not take their eyes off it. The dancing butterflies, the pleasant birdsong, and the fearless squirrels were all so shocking.

In a short period of time, countless people asked about the sea of flowers. It had become an Internet celebrity attraction.

This was also another goal that Qin Lin had carefully planned. Not only would he make the people who defamed him pay, but he would also publicize his villa.

As a result, the number of tourists in the villa increased drastically. Not only were there many locals in Youcheng County, but many people in Sand City and the city were also attracted to clock in.

Qinglin Villa.

Qin Lin was holding a hoe and rummaging through a piece of land in the large courtyard behind the hall.

Beside him, the security captain, Chen Dabei, was also busy with a hoe. He looked like he would do whatever his boss was doing.

"Lin Zi, what are you doing?" Qin Ren asked curiously.

This villa was already so popular. He did not understand why his brother was still in the mood to dig.

He had been staying at the villa for the past two days to film the triangular plum video.

His studio's account had also increased a lot in traffic. The studio's media account naturally had to continue to gain another wave of scenery traffic. The other partners were not familiar with Qin Lin, so they were sorry to leave this matter to Qin Ren. It could be considered a 'business trip' to this villa.

"I plan to plant watermelons!" Qin Lin explained and took out a bag of seeds to plant.

Qin Lin naturally dug the ground because of this Quality 2 watermelon seed.

[Seed of seedless watermelon (Quality 2)]

[A seed that has been specially cultivated. The watermelon planted tastes delicious. There is no planting season restriction, and the growth cycle is extremely short.]

The seeds outside could be obtained from the game.

Then the seeds in the game should be able to be planted outside, right?

It was also his way of trying.

Although he knew very well that the ordinary watermelon seeds outside could be planted in the game to produce a Quality 1 watermelon, it must be related to the game itself.

Quality 2 watermelon seeds did not have a game level 3 land. It was very likely that he would not be able to plant Quality 2 watermelons outside.

But he had to try, right? After all, the reality was not a game. It was unpredictable. Everything was not static.

Even if the Quality 2 seed could not plant a Quality 2 watermelon outside, if the quality deteriorated and a Quality 1 watermelon could be planted, then cultivating new seeds could be considered a new breed and was stronger than ordinary watermelons.

What if the environment changed because of the difference? The plant seeds had an environment and climate adaptability. What if one or two of them adapted to this environment and could maintain their original quality?

Wasn't that awesome?

One had to know that the earliest rice research had also relied on such a difference to obtain seeds. Although the chances were low, they always hoped that it was possible.

Furthermore, this Quality 2 seed had another characteristic, which was that there were no seasonal restrictions. It could also be planted directly in winter.

"Plant watermelons? Lin Zi? It's almost October. Are you joking?" Qin Ren opened his mouth and felt that his brother was teasing him.

Everyone knew that watermelons were planted in March.

If he wanted to plant it in October, he had to get a big shed.

Qin Lin did not explain and continued to plant the seeds in his hand on the ground.

The greenhouse naturally had to be built. This was because, in order to nurture seeds, he had to turn these two quality seeds into multiples again… After many procedures, he still had to rely on ordinary watermelons to pollinate them before he could nurture seedless watermelon seeds from the four-fold plant!

The process was complicated and required a lot of effort.

Other watermelon seeds needed a big shed in winter.

This process was complicated. For the past two days, he had been studying the books and knowledge related to technology.

After planting the seeds, he did not forget to instruct Chen Dabei, "Remember to water them."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded.

When Qin Ren saw this, he did not continue asking. Instead, he said, "By the way, Lin Zi, have you created the villa's official account? With this popularity now, it's time to attract traffic. It's estimated that the popularity will continue for the next few days. Who would have thought that the sea of flowers videos taken by those tourists can actually look so good? The more tourists there are, the more traffic you have. You might be able to blow up the flow pool. That would be awesome."

Qin Lin nodded. "I've already done it. Moqing is helping me manage it."

At this moment, Gao Yaoyao jogged in from outside and said, "Boss, the 300 catties of okra this morning has been sold out. Many tourists, especially the male tourists, want to buy it."

As she spoke, her pretty face clearly turned slightly red because she knew the effect of the okra and why those male tourists wanted it.

This was because the effect of the Special Quality 2 okra had been exposed by a tourist. After all, there were always tourists who were willing to try.

There was no need for Qin Lin to publicize it.

There was even a rich second-generation heir who was attracted online yesterday. He even brought two female companions and ate a meal of special Quality 2 okra.

Then, that rich second-generation heir spent the night in Youcheng County last night and was inexplicably discovered. This morning, he was even posted online. Under the popularity of the villa, this rich second-generation heir even became popular!

This made Qin Lin a little confused.

Quality 2 okra was famous, but there were only a few of them every day. Therefore, even Quality 1 okra was very popular.

Moreover, Quality 1 okra was indeed effective. After all, it had the effect of kidney filling +1.

Therefore, this okra suddenly became the most popular food in the villa.

"I'll handle it!" Qin Lin nodded at Gao Yaoyao.

After this batch of okra became inexplicably famous, he planned to stop supplying it. Apart from supplying the villa with okra, he could also use some land to plant other crops to provide for the villa and increase the diversity of food.

However, Gao Yaoyao said, "Boss, other than the special quality watermelons, the strawberries that cost 40 yuan a catty have been sold out. The fish in the fish pond is almost gone. Before the morning passed, 261 people had already been served. Many people said that there are too few things to spend on. We don't even have enough stove and grill to rent. Many people take turns using one. The tourists are complaining."

"Sigh!" Qin Lin sighed helplessly when he heard this.

Who could blame him?

Initially, they only wanted to take the opportunity to promote it, but the popularity exceeded their imagination.

Furthermore, his triangular sea of plum blossoms had attributes. The tourists who came would definitely be surprised and shocked. Later on, there would be more people. In the future, it would probably increase explosively.

However, the result was that many things in his villa could not keep up. When tourists reached a certain level, the density would be too high, and it would affect the view of the sea of flowers. There would be many problems.

At that time, he would probably have to limit the number of tickets every day.

He was probably the only one who would worry about too many tourists, right?

Gao Yaoyao continued, "Boss, there's one more thing. There are too many people. The two security guards in the sea of flowers can't keep up. Today, we discovered that a tourist threw a stone at s small squirrel."

Qin Lin sighed.

There were always some people who had slipped through the net of quality education. He could only instruct Chen Dabei, "In the afternoon, go to the veterans' recruitment area in the same city online and post the information about recruiting security guards. After that, your security department will also take a commission. I'll take a look at how much you take next time."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei immediately replied with a face full of joy.

He was getting more and more satisfied as the security captain. He had more and more subordinates, which made him work harder. He immediately went to get a water bottle to water the watermelon seeds.

When Qin Lin came out of the hall, he realized that the Quality 1 okra and Quality 1 strawberries had indeed been sold out. On the other hand, there were fewer people asking about the 20 Quality 2 watermelons. If they were sold as a whole, this watermelon would cost more than 1,000 yuan.

If he played in a place and used a soft knife to cut the flesh, the tourists would not feel heartache if they spent 2,000 yuan slowly. Ordinary tourists really could not bear to spend 1,000 yuan at once.

At noon, Qin Lin looked at the registration.

In one morning, 321 people had already been served. Most of them had watched the video online and came to clock in. Just the tickets to the triangular plum blossom sea had been sold for 16,050 yuan.

Furthermore, the Quality 1 okra, Quality 1 strawberry, and 10 catties of Quality 2 okra he had shipped over in the morning were all sold out. They were also worth 43,350 yuan.

The other turnover added up to 21,476 yuan.

The turnover this morning had already exceeded 80,000 yuan. Furthermore, most of it was done without any capital.

This was still the reason why he did not completely squeeze out the spending power of these tourists. He had to get more things that could allow tourists to spend.

There was a vegetable garden in the vegetable villa, so he could still handle it for the time being.

On the other hand, he had to contact a fruit wholesaler to get more ordinary fruits to deal with the tourists who were about to explode. It was probably not enough to rely on the game.

There was also the fish in the fish pond. The fish he caught every day in the game were far from enough. He had to contact wholesale seafood.

Furthermore, the 30-acre triangular plum blossom sea had a limited capacity for tourists. Before it exceeded the density limit, they had to do a diversion project.

The planned rafting project was about to begin.

Otherwise, when the number of tourists reached a certain number, it would be awkward if they had to queue for a long time to see the sea of flowers.

Chapter 45

The villa's hall was already very lively. The dining table was filled with people. There were still people waiting outside. There were not enough stoves and barbecue racks for the tourists, so many tourists chose to order food.

This also made Qin Lin decide that other than the diversion project, the villa had to be expanded. Otherwise, the experience would be too bad.

He walked to the back of the kitchen and placed two tables inside.

Master Lin was already serving the dishes one by one.

With more employees, this place had been transformed into an employee cafeteria. Naturally, the employees could only take turns eating. After all, there were too many tourists. Usually, the management ate first before taking over the important positions of the class and changing the employees to eat.

Gao Yaoyao and Chen Dabei were especially excited today and could not wait. This was because Qin Lin had given Master Lin 35 catties of wild grass carp today for the chef to cook for everyone.

They had never eaten such an expensive big item before. How could they not look forward to it?

"Lin Zi, where did you get so much stuff?" Qin Ren followed behind and had already begun to rub his hands, his eyes shining.

The last time Qin Lin sent one to his house, he still remembered the taste. Looking at the braised grass carp, he could not wait.

"Eat your food!" Qin Lin did not answer.

This kind of big goods was indeed very rare. For example, bass. Only one or two big goods above 10 catties were discovered all year round.

Because of the game, he could have one or two a day.

Therefore, he tried his best to control the number of large goods. Otherwise, the number would be too shocking. There was still a group in the game's pond.

Others could not even eat it, but he could not even finish it.

These things could be eaten privately or used to entertain people like Chen Shengfei who did not lack money. It would instead make these people feel proud.

Qin Ren did not stand on ceremony. He took the bowl and attacked the plate of wild grass carp.

"Boss, this fish is too delicious. I'm going to bite my tongue." Gao Yaoyao exclaimed as she ate. It was clearly the first time this girl had eaten such a delicious fish.

Master Lin reminded her, "Young lady, why are you making a fuss when you're eating? Hurry up and eat. Let someone else eat. We're busy outside."

"Got it." Gao Yaoyao stuck out her tongue mischievously.

After lunch, Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei, "By the way, go to the wholesale market after dinner and post a message. Tell them that our villa wants to wholesale some fruits and seafood every day."

There were already many tourists in his villa. It was considered a fixed channel. There was no need to go to wholesale personally. Those wholesale chambers of commerce rushed to deliver goods to his door at a low price, just like when he went to RT-Mart previously.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of fish and replied.

As expected, just as Chen Dabei went to the wholesale market to post the information, a fruit wholesaler and a seafood wholesaler came looking for him in the afternoon.

Qin Lin also knew the fruit wholesaler. His name was Lin Feng.

His previous fruit shop had been receiving goods from him.

The seafood wholesaler was a middle-aged man.

"So this villa belongs to President Qin." Lin Feng saw that Qin Lin was clearly smiling. "President Qin, we're old acquaintances. You have to continue taking care of my business."

"President Lin, as long as the price is right, we will definitely continue to work together," Qin Lin said with a smile. He had a good impression of Lin Feng in the past.

The middle-aged seafood wholesaler also said, "President Qin, hello. My name is Wang Wei. I have many seafood types available. Other than delivering them to your door, you can also lower the price."

"President Wang, let's talk." Qin Lin shook hands with him.

Although the wholesale items outside did not make him much money, he was not willing to spend more money if he could sell them at a cheap price.

Next, Qin Lin discussed the details with the two of them. He had made fruits and vegetables in the past and was very clear about the wholesale price of fruits. He had also checked the wholesale price of seafood. The other party could not take advantage of him.

They both gave him a lower price than the market. He accepted it and finally signed the contract.

From tomorrow onwards, Lin Feng would send more than ten kinds of fruits to Shan Zhuan. As for the quantity, it depended on the demand in the future. Wang Wei would also send some cultivated fish, crabs, prawns, and other seafood to the villa every day.

In the future, fishing in the fish pond would depend on luck.

In the evening.

The okra in the game had matured again. Qin Lin sent this batch of mature okra to RT-Mart and brought 10 catties of Quality 2 okra to President Chu. He thanked the other party for the advertisement time in the open-air video. Then, he informed him that he would not be sending more okra in the future.

After all, it was only 6 yuan a catty for RT-Mart. His villa was selling for 15 yuan a catty. If it could be sold, he would definitely not give it to RT-Mart.

"President Qin, it seems like I have to go to your villa to eat this special quality okra in the future." President Chu hugged the 10 catties of Quality 2 okra like a treasure.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll welcome President Chu anytime."

…

After leaving RT-Mart, Qin Lin went straight to the seed shop and did not deliver goods to RT-Mart. In the future, the okra planted would naturally be supplied to the villa.

However, other than the six boxes that were sold in the game for a long time to earn game coins, the other 24 boxes could obtain more than 3,000 catties of okra every day. No matter how popular the okra was, the villa did not need so much.

Therefore, he planned to plant something else.

For example, yams were not cheaper than okra in the market now. They had also reached 5 yuan a catty.

There was also broccoli. Broccoli was harvested from March to July. It was already considered an off-season vegetable. The market price had already begun to rise in the past two days, so it was slightly cheaper than okra.

He planned to take out some land and especially plant broccoli and yams. When the time came, he would sell them at the villa for 15 yuan a catty like the okra.

When they returned to the villa, it was still lively until dark. According to the statistics today, there were more than 600 tourists.

This was definitely an astonishing number of tourists for a villa. From this, one could also see the power of online publicity. Naturally, the triangular sea of plum blossoms he had built had game attributes. This was also the main reason.

At night.

When Qin Lin returned home, Lin Fen asked with concern when she saw him, "Xiao Lin, how has the villa been for the past two days?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mom, business is very good now. Don't worry!"

Lin Fen suddenly suggested, "Xiao Lin, why don't I go to your villa to help? I've been eating the bass you brought back. My body is much better."

Qin Lin frowned and said, "Mom, there are employees in the villa. Why would I need your help?"

"Xiao Lin, I'm bored cooped up at home all day," Lin Fen said stubbornly. After she recovered, she did not want to stay at home forever.

Unless her son gave birth to a grandson for her to raise!

When Qin Lin saw his mother's stubborn look, he was helpless. He could not be more stubborn than his mother. He knew that she was someone who could not stay idle. If he did not agree, she might run to the villa tomorrow and not let her go. She might even be in a bad mood.

Qin Lin could only deal with his mother first. He was really vexed.

…

The next day, he got up.

Qin Lin looked at the screen in his mind immediately.

The okra, yams, and broccoli were all ripe.

He controlled the game character to pick and plant new seeds. Then, he entered the game and saw the harvest information in the storage room.

Quality 1: 900 catties, Quality 2: 4 catties.

Quality 1 yam, 420 catties. Quality 2 yam, 2 catties.

Quality 1 broccoli, 380 catties. Quality 2 broccoli, 2 catties.

Qin Lin looked at the notes of the yams and broccoli.

[Yam: Quality 1]

[This is a special crop. It has a nourishing effect. It improves physique +1, improves the spleen and stomach +1, and nourishes the kidneys +1.]

[Yam: Quality 2]

[This is a special crop. It has an extremely strong nourishing effect. It improves physique +2, improves the spleen and stomach +2, and nourishes the kidneys +2.]

[Broccoli: Quality 1]

[This is a special crop. It has a nourishing effect. It purifies the blood vessels +1. It fights diabetes +1, catheterization +1, and kidney nourishment +1.]

[Broccoli: Quality 2]

[This is a special crop. It has an extremely strong nutritional effect. It purifies the blood vessels +2. It fights diabetes +2, catheterization +2, and kidney nourishment +2.]

"?" Qin Lin had chosen these two vegetables according to the market price, but when he looked at the note, why did he feel that something was wrong?

Kidney nourishment?

Nourishing the kidney?

Why did it have such an effect?

It seemed like these two vegetables were not expensive for no reason.

Chapter 46

Qin Lin moved the okra, yams, and broccoli out of the game and placed them in the car before pulling them to the villa.

As for the strawberries and watermelons, they would have to make another trip. A three-wheeler could not pull so many.

He felt that it was time to buy a blue truck. He could drive this C1 truck.

He could also use the driver's license that Zhao Moqing had dragged him to get during the driving school event at university.

At that time, because of his family's reasons, Zhao Moqing had helped pay the fees for his driver's license. It made him feel like he was living off a woman. It was really fragrant.

When he arrived at the villa, he saw that there were already baskets filled with various fruits and aquariums filled with seafood in front of the hall.

Lin Feng and Wang Wei had already brought the goods over. When they saw him, they went forward.

"President Qin, you're here. I was waiting for you to check the goods."

"President Qin, come and take a look. I guarantee it's fresh!"

Qin Lin nodded and went up to check the fruits and seafood the two of them had sent over.

The two of them did not treat him like a fool.

The fruits and seafood looked good.

He called Chen Dabei over to bring people over to weigh and then calculate the number.

The contract he signed with the two of them was a weekly settlement.

After they were done, the two of them chatted with Qin Lin for a while before bidding farewell and leaving. They were still very busy at the market. This was the first time they came by themselves. After that, they would get their employees to deliver the goods.

Qin Lin also went to the computer to register the number of wholesale goods.

On the first day, more than 100 catties of fruits were wholesale. Crab, prawns, and other seafood were also wholesale for 30 catties. There were also ordinary black carp, grass carp, and bass. There were more than 100 catties in total.

As for the exact number, he would adjust the consumption of the mountain villa.

However, he was not afraid that these would not be exhausted. He had received more than 600 tourists yesterday, and those who came to play would always buy some fruits.

Furthermore, there were many people who had eaten yesterday. These people came to this villa to help themselves. Under such an atmosphere, no one would be stingy. These seafood were only 30 catties each, so they were not afraid that they would not be consumed.

The profits of these wholesale items were only at different prices. The profits would definitely not be as much as the items produced by the game. However, it could be considered a supplement.

Furthermore, these wholesale items could also better conceal the things he had gotten from the game.

"Chen Dabei, pour those fish into the fish pond," Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei. He then looked at Gao Yaoyao and said, "Gao Yaoyao, bring people to put the things on the shelves. I'll give you the exact price later. Just stick it on."

Some shelves had already been placed outside the hall, and a simple umbrella had been built to cover it. Now, there were no conditions. Before the special sales center was built, they could only make do.

"Okay, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao replied sweetly and got busy with the waiter.

Chen Dabei also brought two security guards to the fish pond.

Qin Lin looked at the wholesale data recorded and had a flash of inspiration. If he really could not win against his mother, he would let her record the wholesale number every day. Anyway, the system software would automatically calculate it, so she did not need to think too much. She just needed to register the number.

He would treat the rest of the time as her recuperating in the villa. He would let her take Wang Cai for a walk when she was free. Under the lively atmosphere, it was good for her body to be in a good mood.

Gao Yaoyao quickly arranged the fruits and seafood with the waiter. Soon, tourists arrived and the villa started to get busy.

It was almost noon.

A Maybach 62S drove into the villa's parking lot again. When Chen Dabei, who was patrolling, saw this car, he went up to guide it to park.

Chen Shengfei got out of the car with a square-faced man.

The square-faced man frowned as soon as he got out of the car and said, "Old Chen, your taste is a little special. Why did you come to such a place this time?"

Clearly, he was disappointed.

This parking lot was still muddy. It was too degrading.

If he was not extremely familiar with Chen Shengfei, he would have felt that the other party was patronizing him.

Chen Shengfei knew what the other party was thinking. He smiled and said, "Old Ma, don't be fooled by appearances. We've worked together for so many years. How can I brush you off with something disappointing?"

Old Ma nodded and followed Chen Shengfei into the villa.

When Chen Dabei saw this, he immediately found two warning signs and placed them around the car.

The warning signs signaled not to touch this car. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for the tourists and the villa.

Old Ma and Chen Shengfei walked to the reception hall and felt even more disappointed. "Old Chen, this facility seems a little backward."

This was clearly a villa. Furthermore, one could tell at a glance that it was a small investment from a small place. It was not even at the level of a casual villa.

He usually went to such top-notch vacation villas, and this one in front of him was really a little uncomfortable.

If the person who brought him here was not Chen Shengfei, he would leave now.

"Old Ma, I told you not to look at the outside. You can eat wild goods here. Wild bass weighing more than 10 catties and wild grass carp weighing more than 30 catties. That smell will definitely whet your appetite." As Chen Shengfei spoke, he entered the hall and walked toward the fish pool.

"Old Chen, are you joking?" Old Ma was clearly stunned.

He naturally knew about wild bass and wild grass carp. He had eaten a lot of them. Most of them were about two catties. When he ate five catties of wild bass at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, the boss of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion had bragged that he was the king of bass.

Now, Chen Shengfei was telling him that there were still 10 catties of wild bass here?

As he was thinking, Old Ma followed him to the pool. Then, he was stunned and looked at the big fish inside in disbelief.

"These… are all f*cking wild?" Old Ma was in disbelief. What did he see?

Not only were there 10 catties of bass, but there were also two other types of fish. They should be 20 to 30 catties, right?

Looking at the price again, the price was only 250, 280, and 300 yuan per catty.

Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "It's indeed wild. It's still very different from artificial farming. Moreover, this isn't the only good thing here."

With that, Chen Shengfei walked to the shelf with an inexplicable smile, as if he was looking for something, but he did not find the 400 yuan a catty okra he was looking for.

He had brought Old Ma here for this.

"Mr. Chen, welcome again!" Qin Lin recognized Chen Shengfei and immediately went forward to welcome him.

When Chen Shengfei saw Qin Lin's happy expression, he immediately said, "Boss Qin, I brought a friend to support you. This is Old Ma."

"Hello, Mr. Ma." Qin Lin shook Old Ma's hand politely.

"Ma Liewen." Chairman Ma also introduced himself and asked, "Boss Qin, these fish of yours are amazing. This is the first time I've seen so many big fish."

"Boss Qin, give us a whole fish!" Chen Shengfei said as he pulled Qin Lin to the side with a strange expression. He whispered, "Boss Qin, why is the 400 yuan a catty okra from before gone? Old Ma is my good friend and I especially brought him here. His wife is more than ten years younger than him."

Qin Lin immediately looked understanding. "Mr. Chen, I understand. I still have two things that are very effective. Do you want to buy it together? The price is the same!"

His wife was more than ten years younger and needed to be nourished!

Quality 2 okra, Quality 2 yam, and Quality 2 broccoli were too few. He did not plan to put them out now. These things were considered private in the future. They were usually placed in the game storage room. Anyway, they would not spoil inside the game.

This thing could only be taken out at critical moments.

Only the Quality 1 ones were sold.

"Then I'll trouble Boss Qin." Chen Shengfei nodded. "By the way, cut one of the special watermelons and two catties of strawberries. Let's start with the appetizer first."

"Then Mr. Chen, find a seat first," Qin Lin said and went inside to arrange.

Chen Shengfei walked to the side and brought Ma Liewen to a table to sit.

"Old Chen, to think that there's such a big item in such a place. I didn't come in vain." Ma Liewen's attitude had clearly changed greatly.

Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "Old Ma, after eating this fish, you'll realize that it's more delicious than you think. Moreover, I said that this fish isn't the only good thing here. This time, I guarantee that you won't pay attention to the exterior of this villa again."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ma Liewen was stunned.

Even if this wild fish was big, he had eaten too much good food. After eating it once, the novelty of eating it for the second time would decrease drastically. The delicacies that could make him forget to return could be counted on one hand.

Chapter 47

Ma Liewen and Chen Shengfei sat at a relatively quiet table in the corner for a moment. Gao Yaoyao sent the cut Quality 2 watermelon and Quality 2 strawberry over.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, your watermelon and strawberries." Gao Yaoyao's face was filled with enthusiasm as she said sweetly, "The other things are already being made in the kitchen."

"Yes!" Chen Shengfei nodded and said to Marvin, "Old Ma, try this watermelon and strawberries. They taste very good."

As he spoke, he had already picked up a piece of watermelon and placed it in his mouth to chew.

When Ma Liewen saw this, he picked up a piece and took a bite. His eyes lit up. "This melon is delicious!"

Watermelons were common fruits, and he had eaten many expensive ones. However, he had really never eaten such a delicious watermelon in his hand. It was as if his taste buds had been stimulated. When he took a bite, there was a sweet aftertaste in his mouth.

Ma Liewen picked up another strawberry and placed it in his mouth. He could not help but praise, "Old Chen, you're right. Other than fish, there are indeed other good things. There's actually such a delicious watermelon and strawberry. I'm confident that I've eaten all kinds of fruits. I've also eaten a special watermelon that costs 100 dollars a catty, but it's really nothing compared to this."

Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "This means that it's not that there are no watermelons in our country that are better than others. It's just that they're not as good as others. Now, many people are only staring at the specially imported varieties outside, but they don't know that many of their things are better."

"That's very philosophical. I agree." Ma Liewen gave Chen Shengfei a thumbs up.

A moment later, the kitchen helper brought the fish up. A wild bass more than 10 catties were made into fish head soup, steamed, and braised bass!

"Old Ma, try it!" As Chen Shengfei spoke, he had already picked up a bowl of fish soup and filled it for himself. After taking a sip, he revealed an intoxicated expression. "Classic."

"Old Chen, you're exaggerating," Ma Liewen teased.

Chen Shengfei smiled and said nothing.

Ma Liewen also filled a bowl with fish soup and began to eat. Then, his face revealed disbelief. "Old Chen, is this fish soup? The wild fish we saw just now?"

Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "What else? It's such a big fish!"

"F*ck…" Ma Liewen cursed. He was furious. "Is this the taste of wild bass? Then does the boss of the Fragrance Pavilion think I'm a fool? The last time he got a five-pound wild bass, he even bragged to me about how rare it was. He seemed to have given me a lot of face."

"The taste of the other party's 2.5 catties of wild bass is too different from this, right? He even said that a famous chef cooked personally? He must have used artificial growth to fool me. Otherwise, since they're both wild, the taste wouldn't be so different."

"I'll be an idiot if I go to the Fragrant Pavilion again. I'll get my assistant to refund the membership card later."

"Uh, eat more. Later, you will realize that this fish is not only delicious." Chen Shengfei was stunned and did not know how to explain.

He had also eaten much wild fish, but they were really trash compared to Boss Qin's.

Old Ma shouldn't be talking about the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. He suspected that Boss Qin had either added some materials and a special secret formula or some special breed that they didn't know about. Otherwise, how could it compare to those top-notch food therapies?

As Ma Liewen ate, he quickly felt that something was wrong. A warm current began to surge in his meridians and blood vessels as if his entire body had become smooth.

"Old Chen, this food therapy?" Ma Liewen was also knowledgeable and reacted now.

"The effect won't be worse than the Xue family's food therapy in the capital. Otherwise, why would I bring you here?" Chen Shengfei smiled and winked. "Besides, there's something better."

This completely surprised Ma Liewen.

From the beginning, he had completely looked down on this villa. It was too low-class. But now, he knew that he was too superficial.

He had completely changed his opinion of this villa. It was not only the delicious watermelon and strawberries.

This fish was definitely a classic. The warm current in his body and the comfortable feeling all over his body was definitely not fake.

According to Old Chen, it would not be inferior to the Xue family's food therapy in the capital. If the renovation was better and top-notch, this fish would probably have to be paid with tens of thousands of food therapy materials.

More importantly, Old Chen actually said that there was something better in this villa?

This inexplicably made him look forward to it.

If those guys in the city knew about this, their jaws would probably drop, right?

He, Ma Liewen, was actually looking forward to this small villa!

He found it unbelievable.

A moment later, a plate of yams, okra, and broccoli was served.

"Old Chen, these are the good things you're talking about?" Ma Liewen looked at the three very common vegetables in confusion.

Due to his previous experience, he did not immediately judge. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and ate the three dishes.

After a while, he felt something strange again. The warm feeling at his waist appeared again.

"Old Ma, do you feel it?" Chen Shengfei also felt the warmth at his waist and asked with a strange smile, "Now do you know why my wife has been so gentle and in such a good mood these past few days? This effect is comparable to a small pill. The key is that the nourishment is not harmful and has a nourishing effect."

"F*ck…" Ma Liewen cursed again before remembering that ordinary okra and yams also had this effect, but it was not so obvious.

He subconsciously picked up his chopsticks and kept eating.

When he reached 40 years old, his wife was more than 10 years younger than him. It was very hurtful to his pride to always stew supplements for him.

The more he ate, the more comfortable he felt.

For this meal, Ma Liewen ate until he was full.

"Sister, come here for a while." Ma Liewen waved at Gao Yaoyao.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Gao Yaoyao asked immediately.

"Where's your boss? I want to see him," said Ma Liewen.

"Sir, please wait a moment," Gao Yaoyao said and took out her phone to call Qin Lin.

Qin Lin came over immediately after receiving the call.

When Ma Liewen saw Qin Lin again, he became very enthusiastic. "Boss Qin, do you still have okra and yams? I want to buy some and bring them back."

Qin Lin still had a lot of Quality 2 okra. In the previous month, he had saved a lot in the game. He had more than 10 catties a day and still had about 300 catties.

This thing was placed in the game storage room. Due to the special nature of the game, it would not spoil. He was not in a hurry to take it out.

Wasn't this a very good favor?

However, when he saw Ma Liewen, he pretended to be in a difficult position. "Mr. Ma, it's not easy to obtain this kind of special quality okra. It's still in the cultivation stage, and the production is limited every day. My villa can't even supply it."

It was still a rare commodity.

After taking enough advantage of President Chu, he naturally understood this logic better.

"Boss Qin, if there's any, please get some," Chen Shengfei said.

When Qin Lin heard Chen Shengfei speak, he took the opportunity to say, "Since Mr. Chen has asked, I'll get a few catties of okra. However, the two of you will have to wait for a while. As for the yams and broccoli, they might not be available today. I can still get a few catties tomorrow."

"It's fine. Old Ma and I can wait for a night." Chen Shengfei clearly felt proud when he heard Qin Lin's words.

After all, Qin Lin had given him face.

"Right. We can wait all night." Ma Liewen nodded back.

He and Chen Shengfei were talking about cooperation and renewing the contract to begin with. After working together for so long, it was just a matter of signing and discussing the details. It was the same wherever they were. It was just a matter of returning to the city to sign.

However, he had to bring some of this good stuff back. After all, he was usually busy and could not come here every day.

However, he thought of something. "Boss Qin, do you accept reservations here? Get me a membership card first. I'll save 500,000 yuan first."

"…" Qin Lin suddenly could not understand such a sentence.

He did not have a reservation service or a card service, let alone save 500,000 yuan.

He had gone to so many shops in his life and applied for so many membership cards, but none of them had more than 1,000 yuan.

Chapter 48

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, we don't have a card and reservation business yet," Qin Lin could only say awkwardly.

Wasn't it a joke to set up a card business in a tourist area?

Unless he came up with a project for high-end clients someday.

Ma Liewen could only suggest regretfully, "Boss Qin, you're making me unable to spend money even if I want to. It'll affect the experience!"

Chen Shengfei gave a suggestion. "Boss Qin, your villa is not very complete. I see that many places in the villa are deserted. You can completely solve the accommodation problem. There are quite a lot of tourists here now."

Actually, Qin Lin had this plan long ago.

When he was planning the rafting project, he also thought of building other facilities, including accommodation. This was also one of the necessary facilities in the scenic area.

However, funds and procedures were a problem now. He had to take it step by step.

He had to find a time to settle the relevant procedures first.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liwen had a very comfortable meal. Naturally, the cost was also high. One Quality 2 watermelon was 1,300 yuan, two catties of Quality 2 strawberries were 400 yuan, two catties of Quality 2 okra were 800 yuan, two catties of Quality 2 yam were 800 yuan, and two catties of Quality 2 broccoli were 800 yuan.

One 11.5 catties of Quality 2 bass cost 4,600 yuan. In total, they spent 10,700 yuan.

It was unimaginable for ordinary tourists to eat more than 10,000 yuan.

However, to Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen, it seemed to be a common occurrence. After lunch, the two of them strolled around the villa as a form of digestion.

The villa only had a triangular plum blossom sea project, so the two of them could only enter the sea of flowers.

Unsurprisingly, the two of them were attracted by the sea of flowers.

No one could resist the effect of the game's attribute enhancement.

Chen Shengfei said in surprise, "Old Ma, I have to say that this sea of flowers is really beautiful."

Ma Liewen was stunned. "Old Chen, didn't you come in to take a look last time?"

Chen Shengfei explained, "I only cared about eating last time. Plus, I had something urgent to attend to, so I went back."

The two of them had been to many places for a vacation and had also traveled to many places. They had seen all kinds of scenery, but their picky gazes really could not attract them the moment they entered. Furthermore, the feeling of being in a good mood when they saw the beautiful scenery was really strange.

At this moment, Qin Lin's gaze was also attracted by a few tourists. They were all young ladies in Han clothes who were buying tickets to enter the sea of flowers.

This was clearly a carefully taken video and photo of the sea of flowers.

There were more people in the villa today than yesterday.

The popularity of his villa on Douyin continued to rise.

In Qin Ren's words, his triangular plum blossom sea had blown up Douyin's flow pool and become a real Internet celebrity.

Especially after the tourists were attracted to clock in, almost every tourist would take videos. Many of them also uploaded them to gain traffic. Most importantly, the videos taken by everyone were very good and artistic. They were easy to attract people.

This was unbelievable!

Therefore, his triangular sea of plum blossoms had condensed into traffic. In the future, the officials would continue to push the traffic and create a trending topics, just like the Unyielding Girl, Brother Pomegranate…, and Ding Zhen.

Now that the Internet was reorganizing Internet celebrities, it was important to be positive. Douyin did not dare to promote such Internet celebrities to create hot searches with great fanfare. As for the sea of flowers, it naturally would not be reorganized. They could promote it without restraint.

Therefore, there would be even more people attracted to Qinglin Villa in the future.

As for how long it could last, it actually depended on how his villa was maintained. It might only last a week or two, or it might last for a long time.

For example, back then, Unyielding Girl's methods were not as good as Brother Pomegranate's. Unyielding Girl gained more than 1.5 million fans in the time it took to blow up the traffic. Brother Pomegranate was very smart and put on all kinds of down-to-earth persona. In front of those people who took videos, he showed off his foreign language to foreigners and used the excuse of helping farmers. The time it took to blow up the traffic was even longer and more popular, attracting more than three million fans.

As for Ding Zhen, because a poor county needed him to attract attention, with the help of the Sichuan Provincial Government's tourism bureau, he directly increased to nearly ten million fans.

In this aspect, Qin Ren's suggestion was to first establish a villa media company in Douyin so that he could better transform this wave of popularity into his own traffic.

In the Internet era, as long as there were followers and fans, there was no need to be afraid of not having guests in the future.

For example, Brother Pomegranate was now in a music competition, right? It was almost impossible to miss out on his videos, but he had so many fans, and he could easily earn a few million yuan every year.

In the evening.

Qin Lin picked the ripe Quality 1 okra, yams, and broccoli and transported them to the villa again.

When the sky turned dark, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liwen stayed at the villa for dinner again.

In the evening, the two of them ordered another 20 catties of wild grass carp.

The two of them also ate a meal that cost 9,800 yuan. They ate two meals in this villa and spent 20,500 yuan.

Two meals cost more than 20,000 yuan. If it were someone else who did not know better, they would think that he was running an illegal shop.

When the tourists left, Chen Shengfei also left with Ma Liewen.

They entered the county city. After all, there was no place to stay in the villa.

Chen Shengfei brought Ma Liewen to the largest hotel in Youcheng County.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the front desk, a middle-aged man in the hall looked at them in surprise. "That looks like Chen Shengfei."

Someone beside him asked in confusion, "Chief Chen, do you know him?"

Director Chen explained, "It's the Qinglin Villa that has been very popular these past few days. Chen Shengfei is the one who was mistaken as a shill. Who knows that he's the chairman of Blue Ocean Corporation? A villa that can attract such a person must be very attractive."

"Moreover, that triangular plum blossom sea is really not bad. You've seen the data of this Zhong Qiang Hotel. Like the other two hotels, there are clearly many outsiders staying there. They should be attracted to see that sea of flowers."

The person beside him said in surprise, "No wonder you especially pointed out Qinglin Villa at the county meeting."

…

In the villa.

Gao Yaoyao also handed today's statistics to Qin Lin.

As expected, with the popularity of the Internet, there were even more tourists today. There were 923 people, and the ticket income alone reached 47,650 yuan.

Other than Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen's expenses, almost all the Quality 1 okra, yam, and broccoli had been sold. He had gained another 36,000 yuan.

There were also 610 catties of Quality 1 strawberry. Coupled with the Quality 2 strawberries and a few Quality 2 watermelons, it was a total of 36,800 yuan.

Quality 1 wild fish, rented fishing rod, stove grill… A series of them added up to 28,800 yuan.

In addition, there were wholesale fruits and seafood. The turnover of this batch was also more than 16,431 yuan.

In other words, his turnover for the day had already reached 135,081 yuan.

If he added in the expenses of Ma Liewen and Chen Shengfei, this had already exceeded 150,000 yuan. It was definitely unimaginable in Youcheng County.

Furthermore, most of them were businesses without capital.

However, there was also a troublesome problem now. The sudden increase in the number of people would soon reach the limit of the sea of flowers' passenger density, which would affect the viewing pleasure.

No matter how beautiful and good a place was, if too many people poured in at once, the beautiful scenery would be greatly reduced.

After Qin Lin finished looking at the data, he looked to the side. Zhao Moqing was already sitting at a table and operating her phone seriously.

Tomorrow was a weekend, so she was here to help again.

"Gao Yaoyao, cut a special quality watermelon and bring it up." Qin Lin instructed Gao Yaoyao before sitting opposite Zhao Moqing with a smile. "What are you looking at? Why are you so serious?"

Zhao Moqing complained, "It's all because of your villa's self-media account. I'm editing the information according to the accounts of other tourist attractions and then applying for certification. Qin Ren said that after the certification, the popularity of your triangular plum blossom sea will first push the official account of the villa."

"You've worked hard!" When Qin Lin saw Gao Yaoyao bring the watermelon over, he personally took a piece and fed it to Zhao Moqing.

"Hmph!" When Zhao Moqing saw Qin Lin's actions, she snorted arrogantly and took a bite of the watermelon.

However, she was still very happy to be able to help Qin Lin. Then, she took out a piece of information and handed it to Qin Lin. "Also, you need to apply for a lot of procedures to build a raft. First, you have to apply for approval from the Tourism Bureau. There's also a river contract, a river modification permit, and the relevant tourist project operating permit. The Land and Resources Bureau will show the usage permit…"

"So many procedures!" Qin Lin felt a headache when he heard Zhao Moqing say a bunch of requests.

Some things looked like it was quite easy for others to do when they were outside the door. When it was time for him to do it, he realized that everything was very difficult.

With so many procedures and permits, he would die if he applied.

Zhao Moqing also knew how much the procedures were. She smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll apply for leave on Monday to compensate you!"

"You're the best!" Qin Lin said.

As the two of them were talking, Chen Dabei suddenly ran in and said, "Boss, the couple who caused trouble earlier is here again. They're outside."

"…" Qin Lin frowned.

Defamation was considered self-incrimination, but he had already called the police previously. The police had also collected evidence, so the police could report the case to the court.

There should be some progress these days.

A moment later, Lin Chunlan and Jiang Hang walked in.

Qin Lin frowned slightly and roughly remembered why this couple was here.

Before the official court session, as long as both parties settled privately and withdrew the report, everything would be calm.

This was also the reason why so many people had slandered others but did not pay the legal price. They had all been resolved privately.

The police would definitely give this opinion to the couple according to the procedures. The two of them must have wanted to reconcile in private.

Chapter 49

After Jiang Hang and Lin Chunlan came in, her husband, Jiang Hang, asked, "May I know who is Boss Qin Lin?"

"I am!" Qin Lin frowned at the two of them.

Jiang Hang hurriedly walked in front of Qin Lin and said, "Boss Qin, we're here to discuss what happened before. We were wrong in that video. I hope you can forgive us."

With that, he pulled his wife and said, "Apologize to Boss Qin quickly."

Lin Chunlan said very reluctantly, "I'm sorry. Can this matter pass?"

Qin Lin felt that it was ridiculous when he saw this woman's perfunctory apology. "You think it's over just because you say so? If it's so simple, why do we need the law?"

When Lin Chunlan heard this, she was dissatisfied. "What do you want? We've already lost 250,000 yuan to our cousin. We've suffered heavy losses and learned our lesson."

"What does that have to do with me?" Qin Lin really felt that this woman was here to joke.

When Lin Chunlan saw that Qin Lin did not accept her apology, she said angrily, "What do you mean? Didn't you call the police just to extort money? How much do you want?"

Jiang Hang was anxious when he heard his wife's words. "Boss Qin, that's not what she meant!"

He was really suffering.

Previously, his legal consciousness was weak. He thought that it was just a small matter for his cousin to help vent anger for his wife. Who knew that it would cause such a thing? Even the account that his cousin had been working on for three years had been banned.

Furthermore, their cousin had even recorded his conversation with them. When he asked if it was true, his wife casually said that it was true. Most of the responsibility for this matter fell on the couple.

The key was that their cousin had even sued them and asked them to compensate for the losses. Under the adjustment of their family, the couple had accompanied their cousin for 250,000 yuan to withdraw the lawsuit, but they had also become enemies.

He brought his wife over now because he wanted to reconcile with Boss Qin in private and let this matter pass.

Unexpectedly, his wife was used to being unreasonable. She actually dared to say anything.

Lin Chunlan said unhappily, "That's what I mean. Jiang Hang, can't you tell that the other party just wants to extort a sum of money as your cousin did?"

Clearly, she could not get over the fact that she had lost 250,000 yuan to her cousin. She was angry and exploded at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin laughed in anger. "Then I'll tell you, I really don't want your money. I just want to see you pay legal responsibility. If a brat makes a mistake and as a mother, you don't care about education, then I'll educate you on behalf of society and let you be the best negative example for your child."

"What the hell? Chen Dabei, chase them out."

He had never thought of reconciling with the other party.

How many people in society were depressed and even chose to commit suicide because of others spreading rumors and slander?

These people could spread rumors and slander a person into the abyss with just a word. If it were under other circumstances, he would not be able to reverse the situation. Then, the sea of flowers he had just bought would be useless. He would even have another stain that could not be washed away.

At that time, the other party would probably still show a smug expression.

Now, this person who was spreading rumors and slandering others wanted to reconcile in private. How could it be so easy?

When Chen Dabei heard his boss's words, he did not hesitate and went forward with a few security guards to chase the couple away.

However, Lin Chunlan still said stubbornly, "Hey, stop pretending to be noble. How much do you want?"

"Enough!" Chen Dabei could not help but shout, "Woman, you're smart, right? Do you know how much our boss spent building this sea of flowers? Our villa's turnover today is nearly 200,000 yuan. Does our boss care about your family's money?"

"Our boss is unwilling to settle. Just wait for the court to sentence you! You really can't control your rotten mouth."

With that, Chen Dabei instructed a few security guards, "Chase them out. If they don't leave, call the police and let them take them away."

Chen Dabei's words were very harsh, but it made the couple's expressions turn abnormally ugly, especially when they heard that the villa's turnover was nearly 200,000 yuan a day. It was almost comparable to what their family had compensated Chen Lin. Everyone knew that this kind of scenic spot was very profitable.

Jiang Hang was really flustered. This meant that the other party was really unwilling to settle. The court would really sentence his wife.

The key was that his wife had been sentenced and left a stain. Even his child would be affected in the future.

Jiang Hang was anxious. He wanted to pull his wife in to look for Qin Lin, but he was stopped by the security guard.

"I beg you, let me in to see Boss Qin. We were really wrong." Jiang Hang immediately pleaded with the security guards and wanted to barge in.

Those security guards ignored the couple. They did not want to lose their jobs either. Seeing that the couple did not leave and wanted to barge in, a security guard faithfully carried out Chen Dabei's orders and took out his phone to call the police.

Soon, the police arrived and took the distraught couple away.

In the hall.

Zhao Moqing listened to the distant police siren and frowned slightly. "Qin Lin, what do you think this couple is thinking? They could have just apologized and settled the bill if the child made a mistake. Isn't it just a few hundred yuan?"

Qin Lin smiled at Zhao Moqing and said, "This is the importance of a man marrying a good wife. If he marries the wrong wife, he won't be able to live peacefully at home. There will be endless trouble and it will even bring disaster. If he accidentally takes such an unreasonable wife, he will definitely be in trouble. Do you think everyone is as understanding, smart, and virtuous as you?"

Zhao Moqing did not expect Qin Lin to praise her as he spoke. She pinched his arm shyly. "Everyone is still watching!"

Beside him, Gao Yaoyao and the others immediately lowered their heads and pretended to clean seriously.

Unexpectedly, the boss was caught off guard and started showing off.

At this moment, Zhao Moqing suddenly said to Gao Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, the official Douyin account of the villa should be approved tomorrow. I'll rent a Han uniform tomorrow afternoon. Cooperate with me to film an ancient sea of flowers video to promote it."

"Okay, Sister Moqing," Gao Yaoyao replied sweetly.

These Heavenly Mountain Villas were very popular. She was initially a model for promotional videos. Her private account was also followed by many people. Although she only had more than 2,000 fans, she was still very happy as an ordinary person who originally only had a single-digit number of fans.

"Moqing, why don't you resign and help me? I happen to need a finance department." Qin Lin took the opportunity to suggest to Zhao Moqing.

The villa had grown bigger, and there were many management problems.

This was especially so for the financial aspect. He had not recruited anyone officially yet. Firstly, there was no suitable person. Secondly, there was the problem of trust. Many of his profits were from buying and selling game items without capital. When he paid taxes, he had to do the accounts. If he recruited someone with ulterior motives, it would be troublesome.

Zhao Moqing was already working at the tax bureau, so she was the most suitable person.

"Ah, is that good?" Zhao Moqing frowned.

Qin Lin said directly, "What's wrong with that? You're my wife. The villa is mine and yours. Isn't it only right for us to build a husband and wife shop together?"

Gao Yaoyao and the others looked helpless. They were light bulbs again.

They looked at each other and silently left the hall. The boss's show of love was never-ending.

When Zhao Moqing saw Gao Yaoyao and the others' actions, she pinched Qin Lin again. "I'm not talking about this. I really want to help you take care of our own business, but my current job is thanks to my uncle. I've only worked for a year. Isn't it bad to leave directly?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Moqing, our villa will definitely pay a lot of taxes next month. We'll also have a lot of contact with the tax bureau in the future. Do you think your uncle will be unhappy? Instead, you have to inform him in advance about your resignation."

"Hey, I just said you're smart. You're being stupid again."

When Zhao Moqing heard the last sentence, she was clearly dissatisfied. She pinched Qin Lin again. "You actually called me stupid."

She naturally understood what Qin Lin meant. After she left, there was another seat. She told her uncle in advance that if he wanted to make arrangements, he could do a favor.

Furthermore, based on the villa's current situation, the taxes would definitely not be low. Just based on the current situation, it was a high-quality tax company in Youcheng County.

"Then I'll go back and greet Uncle first," Zhao Moqing said after thinking it through.

As a woman, she had to work hard with her husband, fight together, and support him fully. Only then could she lead a good life.

Chapter 50

The night slowly deepened.

Other than some romantic couples who had rented tents to camp in the villa, there were no more guests in Qinglin Villa.

Qin Lin also rode a small electric scooter and brought Zhao Moqing out of the villa.

Slowly, it was mid-October. It was already a little cold riding an electric scooter at night. Zhao Moqing felt the cold and hugged Qin Lin tightly, leaning against his back.

"Moqing, let's buy a car first. What brand do you like?" Qin Lin also felt a little cold.

After a while, it would really be a little cold. It would be torture to ride a small electric car out.

In the past, there were no conditions. Now that there were, he could not let Zhao Moqing suffer again.

"You haven't paid off your villa's debt yet, and you're planning to start a rafting project. Do you have enough money? Why don't you buy it after you finish paying? We don't need a car to support our reputation," Zhao Moqing said. She knew that Qin Lin owed a few million yuan to start the villa, and now that he was doing a rafting project, it also cost a lot.

Qin Lin's villa had just improved, so she naturally hoped that money would be used.

Naturally, she did not know that Qin Lin had earned money from buying and selling without any capital, nor did she know that Qin Lin did not owe money at all.

However, these sincere words filled Qin Lin with happiness. Compared to that troublesome woman, Zhao Moqing was simply the best gift from the heavens.

After sending Zhao Moqing to Ming Yuan District in the East City, Qin Lin watched her go upstairs before leaving in peace.

Zhao Moqing was in a good mood and hummed a happy tune as she went upstairs.

Qin Lin's days were getting more and more promising, making her feel completely relieved.

Previously, she had secretly taken the household register and registered her marriage with Qin Lin because she really loved Qin Lin and believed that she could fight with him and have a beautiful future.

Now everything was going well.

Qin Lin had such an advantage now, so her parents did not have to worry about her suffering when she married Qin Lin.

When he returned home, he saw his mother and sister-in-law watching a very melodramatic Korean drama. It seemed to be about the reversal of events in a penthouse.

"It's so late. Are you with Qin Lin again?" Chen Xiao asked immediately when he saw his daughter return.

"Mom, you're so beautiful tonight. You seem a few years younger," Zhao Moqing immediately said.

"You're changing the topic again," Chen Xiao said angrily. "Come with me to Auntie Liu's house tomorrow weekend. It's her birthday."

"Mom, you can go to Auntie Liu's birthday. I still have something on tomorrow," Zhao Moqing said and immediately slipped back to her room.

How could she not know that Auntie Liu had a son who had just returned? Her mother was guarding against Qin Lin like she was guarding against a thief. She felt that she should discuss it with Qin Lin and lay her cards on the table.

In the hall.

When Chen Xiao saw Zhao Moqing close the door, he looked at Li Jiawen angrily and said, "She's definitely going to look for Qin Lin tomorrow. As her sister-in-law, why didn't you say anything to him? It's not that Qin Lin isn't good, but as her sister-in-law, do you want to see her suffer?"

"Mom, Moqing gave me some tickets to the sea of flowers last time. I made an appointment with my best friends to see the sea of flowers tomorrow. My best friend sent me a voice message." Li Jiawen said as she pretended to pick up her phone and talk to the air.

To be honest, she was about the same age as Zhao Moqing and understood her sister-in-law's thoughts.

Most importantly, because of her sister-in-law, she had also interacted with Qin Lin. Putting aside his family situation, Qin Lin was actually very good.

…

When Qin Lin returned home, he saw his mother hugging Wang Cai and watching a dog-blooded television drama. He looked at the title of the drama and it seemed to be talking about a melodramatic plot in a penthouse.

This melodramatic drama seemed to be quite popular recently and was very popular with some women in their 30s to 50s.

"You're back?" Lin Fen turned off the television and stood up when she saw her son return.

Wang Cai ran up to him and circled him.

"Mom, how are you feeling today?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

"I'm in good health and in a bad mood!" Lin Fen snorted.

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy? Is it Wang Cai?"

"Wuwuwu!" Wang Cai immediately cried and jumped, as if it was anxious to explain that it was not it.

Lin Fen snorted. "Don't malign Wang Cai. You're the one who made me unhappy. Do you know that people can't be locked at home all day? They have to go out more and do something appropriately. Otherwise, they'll easily fall sick from staying in. I'm not like your Second Aunt and Auntie Lin, who still has a child to take care of…"

"Mom, stop talking. I'll let you go to the villa tomorrow, okay?" Qin Lin saw through his mother's motive.

She was not going to stop.

Over the past month, he had been feeding his mother wild bass of Quality 2. With the +2 attribute, he had indeed recovered his mother's body a little. As long as she was happy, he would let her do some registration.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lin Fen happily turned on the television drama and watched it again.

Qin Lin took a shower and returned to his room. He had just dried his body when a notification sounded in his mind.

He immediately looked at the game on the screen in his mind. Another crop had matured.

The six slots were especially used to sell game gold coins in the game. The maturity time was different from the other 24 slots. It would be later.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to pick these six boxes of okra and sell them in the game. He had just planted a new seed when he received a system notification. "Character upgraded!"

He had leveled up again!

Qin Lin was delighted and immediately looked at the screen in his mind.

After this upgrade, another six slots were opened. At the same time, six slots could be upgraded to Level 2.

In other words, the number of Level 1 lands did not change, but he had six more Level 2 lands.

Other than that, he could actually develop a Level 1 paddy field.

This stunned Qin Lin.

Paddy field?

This new version had this?

The old version definitely did not.

Qin Lin did not dwell on this. He directly controlled the game character to develop all the Level 1 lands that were opened up in six slots. Then, he directly upgraded these six Level 1 lands to Level 2.

Over the past month, there were six boxes of okra sold in the game every day. There were enough gold coins to upgrade the land.

After upgrading the Level 2 land, he directly planted strawberry seeds.

Now that there were more tourists, 600 catties of Quality 1 strawberry a day was not enough. Many tourists would buy some. Furthermore, because it was delicious, some tourists would bring a few catties with them when they left. This made many tourists unable to buy it even if they wanted to.

Now that he had six more plots of Level 2 land, he could harvest more than 600 catties of Quality 1 red strawberries tomorrow. His income would increase by about 25,000 yuan.

Then, Qin Lin controlled the game character to develop the Level 1 paddy field and controlled the game character to go to the seed shop in the ore town. Indeed, he discovered some seeds: rice, wheat, soybeans, corn, and so on.

Now, he had fruit, vegetables, and seafood. He had made up for the main dish as well?

Furthermore, the price of rice seemed to have risen quite expensive. It was already more than four yuan a catty.

However, looking at the developed seeds, he made a surprising discovery:

[Xiangshui Tribute Rice Seed: Quality 1]

[This is a special rice seed. After long-term research, it is a selected species that are constantly optimized. After planting it, it can harvest Xiangshui Tribute Rice! After being modified by the game, there is no season to plant it. There is a chance of mutation. It can adapt to a change in the environment (restriction: Game seed)

Mature time: 12 hours.]

Xiangshui Tribute Rice?

Qin Lin was really surprised.

Although ordinary rice was only two to four yuan a catty, the price of some top-notch rice was unimaginable for ordinary people. For example:

Jingyang Rice was 8,400 yuan per catty.

Thousand Year Rice was 6,900 yuan per catty.

Oden Rouge Rice was 2,000 yuan per catty.

The "Head Rice" in the Northern Wilderness was 1,888 yuan per catty.

Zhefang Rice was 499 yuan per catty.

Fangshui County Cold Red Rice was 368 yuan per catty.

The price of this rice was shocking. It was purely something from a tycoon's table. Ordinary people would find it unbelievable, let alone eat it.

The Xiangshui Tribute Rice was 500 yuan a catty.

Chapter 51

Not only did the Xiangshui Tribute Rice cost 500 yuan per catty, but it was also used by the Great Hall. However, because the geographical environment was too demanding, the annual production was not much. Even most rich people could not buy it.

He had even heard an exaggerated saying that the real Xiangshui Tribute Rice was guarded by an army. As soon as it was harvested, it was already transported to the capital. Very few of it ended up outside.

Outsiders did not know if it was so exaggerated. Ordinary people could not eat it, and they did not know why this rice was so expensive.

It was not that they had not experimented with using the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds to plant elsewhere. Either it would not survive, or the taste, texture, and nutritional value were too far apart.

The price was 500 yuan a catty. In fact, the price had already been raised to a higher price. It was really impossible to buy it for 500 yuan a catty.

17 years ago, Jack Ma had some means. He had once completed three transactions of small wine jars filled with Xiangshui Tribute Rice. Each transaction directly exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Qin Lin did not expect that his game could plant such rice. The products of the game would have special attributes. He wondered how this was compared to ordinary Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

He directly bought the Xiangshui Tribute Rice and controlled the game character to plant the rice in the paddy field. Because it was a game, planting it was simple.

Then, he looked at a portion of Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds again.

[Xiangshui Tribute Rice Seed: Quality 1]

[This is a special rice seed. After long-term research, it is a selected species that are constantly optimized. After planting it, it can harvest Xiangshui Tribute Rice! After being modified by the game, there is no season to plant it. There is a chance of mutation. It can adapt to a change in the environment (restriction: Game seed)

Mature time: 12 hours.]

The note attracted him. The seeds bought in the game had a chance to mutate and adapt to the environment.

Did this mean that if he took this seed outside and if there was a chance of mutation, this rice would also have a chance to grow this kind of rice in Youcheng County?

Then, would it be called Youcheng Rice or Qin Lin Rice?

…

The next day, he got up.

Qin Lin picked all the 24 boxes of okra, yams, and broccoli, six ripe strawberries, and two watermelons of Level 3 land and planted new seeds.

As for the strawberries in the other six plots of land, they would ripen later. As for the Xiangshui Tribute Rice in the paddy field, it would have to wait until noon.

After Qin Lin sent everything to the villa in batches, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen came to the villa again.

"Boss Qin, has that thing arrived?" Ma Liewen was clearly in a hurry.

He had deeply experienced the effect of that thing last night. His wife had not been by his side the entire night.

"Mr. Ma, we might have to wait until noon." Qin Lin naturally did this on purpose.

The item was in the game. He had a motive, so he asked again, "Gentlemen, have you eaten Xiangshui Tribute Rice?"

Ma Liewen nodded. "I have. That stuff is really good, but it's hard to buy."

Chen Shengfei asked curiously, "Boss Qin, don't tell me you have Xiangshui Tribute Rice?"

"I got some!" Qin Lin smiled and replied, "Help me try this Xiangshui Tribute Rice to see if I was cheated."

That was his goal.

He would know the difference if he let those who had eaten the Xiangshui Tribute Rice taste it.

When Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen heard this, their eyes lit up.

Especially Chen Shengfei. He had eaten here twice. The dishes were good, the fruits were delicious, and the fish was even more classic. It was just that the rice was lacking.

Now that the boss had actually obtained Xiangshui Tribute Rice, it was perfect.

As the three of them were chatting, a middle-aged man brought a young man into the villa.

The young man looked at the tourists around him and said, "Chief Chen, I can't believe such a villa suddenly appeared in Youcheng County and became popular online. Look, there are already so many tourists early in the morning."

"It's indeed unbelievable." The middle-aged man walked to the fish pond. There were many people fishing by the fish pond. They were either with a few friends or a family. They were all discussing excitedly. It seemed like they were lucky to be able to catch wild fish with higher taste and nutrition in the fish pond.

The middle-aged man nodded. The small fish pond had a sense of anticipation. This was a very good method. It was much more fun.

The two of them arrived at the triangular plum blossom sea ticket office.

"Welcome, sir. How many tickets do you need?" the ticket seller asked warmly when he saw the two of them.

"Two," the middle-aged man said. When the ticket seller was counting the tickets, he asked calmly, "Sister, there are so many tourists in this villa. The tickets for the sea of flowers can be sold a lot in a day, right?"

The ticket seller did not think too much about it. Thinking that tourists were gods, he said truthfully, "There are a lot. I sold more than 950 tickets yesterday."

The middle-aged man's eyes clearly lit up. No wonder there were more guests in the three big hotels in Youcheng County.

One had to know that Youcheng County had carefully built the Hero Valley, which had already invested more than 300 million yuan in the third issue. Last year, it had only received more than 650,000 guests. Usually, it only received more than 1,600 people every day.

Now, because of the explosion of a triangular plum blossom sea, this villa had reached almost 1,000 people in a day. The Internet power was really very powerful.

He just did not know how long the villa could maintain this popularity.

However, the ticket seller continued, "There might be more today. At the same time, more were sold in the morning than yesterday. Furthermore, someone on the Internet asked about online reservations and the company wanted to buy them in groups. They were all rejected by our boss and we can't receive them."

"Oh!" The middle-aged man felt a little hurt when he heard this. After taking the ticket, he checked it with the security guard and entered the sea of flowers.

The sea of flowers was already very lively. There were tourists taking photos everywhere. It was really enviable.

The two of them had seen a sea of flowers before. They had even gone to the city and Xia City to investigate various seas of flowers. There were also many triangular plum blossoms, so they knew some basic situations.

However, as they went deeper, the two of them were completely shocked. How could they describe the sea of flowers in front of them? The more artistic one was that at first sight, there was no room for anything else.

Not only that, when they saw this sea of flowers, they felt that the sea of flowers they had seen in the past was really ordinary. At least, that sea of flowers would not attract them at first glance and make them feel comfortable.

When they arrived at the central area, there was even more laughter. Through the fence, many tourists were playing with small squirrels.

There were a few more squirrels. They were smaller and followed the big squirrel.

Those squirrels were not afraid of people. When a tourist took out pine nuts, they stared at him in unison. When a tourist put the pine nuts on his shoulder, the squirrels were not afraid. They jumped up and grabbed the pine nuts. The tourists took the opportunity to take photos.

The scene was harmonious and heartwarming.

Naturally, there were also tourists who wanted to catch squirrels to take more intimate photos. The security guards at the side would also go forward to stop them.

The middle-aged man personally went forward and fed the squirrel two pine nuts. He was really surprised. How did this villa train the squirrels to be so obedient? They seemed domesticated.

The two of them wandered out of the sea of flowers. After seeing this sea of flowers, they could confirm that this sea of flowers could continue to be popular. Those who had come to play once would definitely want to come again when they were free. They would introduce friends and bring them over.

To be able to create this sea of flowers, this boss was not simple.

However, after leaving the sea of flowers, the middle-aged man looked at the empty wasteland of the villa and the simple adventure and grass-skiing facilities from the forest and felt a little pained.

How could such a large number of tourists…

"Come, follow me to see the boss of this villa!" The middle-aged man hurriedly led the young man towards the villa's hall.

Once they arrived outside the hall, the surroundings were equally lively. The stoves and grills beside them were also prepared by many tourists.

When they reached the hall, the two of them were attracted by two figures. They were Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.

"Chief Chen, these two are indeed attracted by this villa," the young man said.

The middle-aged man nodded. Didn't this mean that the villa was very charming?

He went straight to a staff member. "Sister, I'm Chen Li, the director of the Youcheng Tourism Bureau. Can you bring me to see your boss?"

Gao Yaoyao was clearly shocked.

The little girl had never seen an official before and was a little nervous.

The people from the tourism bureau had come looking for him. Could something have happened to the villa?

Chapter 52

There was a large empty space in the backyard of the hall.

Qin Lin was holding a book and cultivating the triangular plum seedling according to the contents of the book. He was working on a flower pot, fertilizing the soil, transplanting, and filling the lid…

Beside him, Chen Dabei was also watering the seeds of the watermelon with a water bottle.

"Boss, can these watermelon seeds really germinate? It's already winter." Although Chen Dabei was puzzled, the work arranged by his boss was still very efficient.

Qin Lin smiled and did not explain further. He planted a triangular plum branch into the flower pot and picked up the kettle at the side to water the flower pot.

This branch was cut from the seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum produced by the game. It was the same as the Quality 2 watermelon seed planted. He wanted to see what would happen after this game was cultivated.

At this moment, Gao Yaoyao rushed in with two people behind her.

When Gao Yaoyao saw Qin Lin, she hurriedly said, "Boss, these two people say they're from the tourism bureau and want to see you."

"Hello, I'm Chen Li, the Director of the Tourism Bureau." Chen Li extended his hand and introduced himself as soon as he saw Qin Lin.

"Director Chen, why are you here?" Qin Lin shook hands with him in surprise.

He had all the documents, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?

Chen Li smiled and said, "Boss Qin, we're here to investigate and learn the management of your villa. Boss Qin, you should also know that our county is in charge of a fusion-type demonstration area for the entire tourism industry."

"I roughly understand!" Qin Lin nodded.

He studied tourism management and naturally knew about the development of tourism in his hometown.

Over the past few years, the county had been shouting that the scenic area was their home. They used tourism+ and +tourism to promote the integration of tourism with the first, second, and third industries, stimulating the overall strength and competition for high-quality development in the entire county.

Simply put, it meant that they relied on tourism to attract tourists and promote the operation of other industries. Therefore, in the past few years, the entire county had been doing tourism. In the county city, a few temples had been built into basic attractions. Tourists were also developing everywhere.

The most famous were the Hero Valley, the galaxy scenic area, the terraced scenic area, and the Zhuzi Cultural Garden.

There were many other scenic areas of various sizes in villages and towns. A ginkgo forest had also been developed into a slightly famous scenic area.

Over the years, the tourism development of the entire county had soared from more than 700,000 people a year to more than 7.5 million people, and it was still increasing.

Naturally, he had also heard rumors that other than developing, it was also because there was a possibility of the county rising to the market and changing the awkward situation of low wages and high housing prices.

As for the truth, he was not sure. It was not something ordinary people should investigate.

However, although Youcheng County was in an awkward position with a low salary and high housing prices, it also had many advantages.

Firstly, it was known as a thousand-year-old county. Secondly, it was the hometown of gold foil, tea oil, and green bamboo. It was also in the Central Su District. The train station, high-speed entrance, and so on were all complete.

If they did a good job in the global tourism industry, it would definitely promote the economy and increase the income of the people.

For example, in his villa, Gao Yaoyao and the others only had a salary of 3,500 yuan. If his business was good, he would naturally increase their salary. Coupled with the commission, it would definitely far exceed their original income.

Only then did Qin Lin realize that his villa had become popular. The customer flow had almost reached 1,000 yesterday. Just this alone could attract nearly 300,000 tourists a year.

This was already close to the 30% and 20% of the tourists that the Hero Valley received every day, and it would increase.

This was the attention of the county.

This made him subconsciously hold his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this? He was actually troubled by the paperwork for the drifting project.

He could totally apply for the tourism support fund designed by the county in the past few years.

With his customer flow, the county would probably take the initiative to settle the procedures for him and even come up with a supporting plan for him.

This was his first time doing business. This was embarrassing.

"Boss Qin, I took a look at your villa just now. Your sea of flowers can definitely become a huge feature of our Youcheng County. It will also attract a lot of people." Chen Li praised from the bottom of his heart. Then, he changed the topic and said, "However, your villa has too few supporting facilities. A sea of flowers is not enough to divert the traffic. There's a limited capacity. Boss Qin, have you thought of expanding the project?"

"I took a look just now. The villa has a range of 500 acres, and most of it is still a wasteland. Are you planning to create another kind of matching sea of flowers? There's also a river beside the villa. With the passenger conditions, we can completely build a permanent drifting project in the scenic area."

Chen Li was already a little anxious. After all, this villa had already approached 1,000 customers yesterday. There would be more today. If he could let this villa break through the stable 2,000-day customer flow, this villa would be able to accommodate about 750,000 tourists a year.

The key was that the villa was only 30 minutes away from the county city. This was an advantage that other scenic areas did not have.

Thinking about it, if more than 750,000 tourists just left after seeing the sea of flowers, it would be a loss. However, if there were more projects in this villa, not only would the villa earn more, but it would also pay more taxes.

When the tourists finished looking at the sea of flowers and drifting around, it would be dark. Would they have to stay? Would they have to eat, drink, and play in Youcheng County? How much would it promote the economy?

They could squeeze the tourists' wallets to their heart's content.

What they were afraid of now was that the villa's popularity would subside.

When he returned to the bureau later, he still had a meeting to think about how to give some suggestions to maintain the popularity of this villa.

This opportunity could only be chanced upon by luck.

When Qin Lin heard Chen Li's words, he could not help but admire him. As expected of the leader of the tourism bureau, he was forward-looking.

Furthermore, after coming back to his senses, he roughly knew the other party's goal. It seemed like this villa's explosion was going to bring him unexpected benefits.

Chen Li took out another document and handed it to Qin Lin. "Boss Qin, you can take a look at this document. If you want to expand the villa project, the county can provide an interest-free support fund or a tourism subsidy fund to help you expand the villa."

Qin Lin had already guessed this in his heart, but the tourism support fund and the tourism subsidy fund were different. The difference was that one was paid, and the other was free. The amount was also different.

The tourism support fund was to provide loans or real bonds to the tourism industry, but it was less likely to use funds to invest.

To put it simply, if the government lent you a loan, you had to repay it. Naturally, if you invested in it, there was no need to repay it. The price was that you would lose a lot of dominance.

Many scenic spots in Youcheng County chose this kind of support fund.

The tourism subsidy fund was a pro bono subsidy for the tourism industry. It was usually funded by the fiscal budget, financial discounts, tax returns, and so on.

This method had a small amount of money and had to be reviewed by the government. For example, the income of the villa, taxes, and the value of the sea of flowers.

Although this was free, Qin Lin clearly did not dare to accept it for fear of being investigated.

"Chief Chen, if my villa is good enough, I want to apply for a travel support fund." Qin Lin also voiced his thoughts. Although he had to return the money, he could rest assured. It was equivalent to getting the money first.

"Alright!" Chen Li was very satisfied with the answer. He smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to the county for a meeting first. We'll discuss the specific plan with Boss Qin after we're done discussing it?"

"Alright, I'll wait for Chief Chen's good news." Qin Lin smiled and nodded. With the government's support, they would naturally make some corresponding requests. When the time came, he would see how to negotiate.

As for the procedures, he did not have to worry about them. The tourism bureau would help him settle them first.

After Chen Li left, Qin Lin was in a good mood. This was really an unexpected surprise.

At this moment, a notification appeared in the game in his mind: [Xiangshui Tribute Rice has matured!]

Qin Lin looked at the screen in his mind and controlled his game character to harvest the water fields and store them in the storage room.

Qin Lin drove to the warehouse and entered the game. The first thing he saw was the message:

[Xiangshui Tribute Rice: Quality 1 (100 catties)]

[This is a specially cultivated rice. It's extremely rare and has rich nutritional value. It's rich in nutrition +1, taste +1, mellow +1, delicious +1, and vitamin VPP anti-aging +1.]

[Xiangshui Tribute Rice: Quality 2 (5 catties)]

[This is a specially cultivated rice. It's extremely rare and has rich nutritional value. It's rich in nutrition +2, taste +2, mellow +2, delicious +2, and vitamin VPP anti-aging +2.]

Vitamin VPP?

'Anti-aging?'

Chapter 53

The taste, fragrance, rich nutrition, and deliciousness were basically ignored by Qin Lin.

His gaze went straight to the vitamin VPP's anti-aging attribute.

He finally understood why this Xiangshui Tribute Rice could crush those more expensive rice and become a special offering for those big shots in the capital.

The attributes given by the system were all added to the original attributes of the item. In other words, the Xiangshui Tribute Rice itself had an anti-aging effect.

This was a type of rice that was truly priceless. Not only was it expensive, but it also had to be eye-catching. This was because the rice sold in the market was basically fake, or it was Xiangshui Rice, not Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

The Xiangshui Rice and the Xiangshui Tribute Rice looked only one word apart, but they were not the same. The difference was huge.

Due to the game setting, the rice in front of him had already been automatically packed into bags. There were a total of two bags, each weighing 50 catties. The words "Xiangshui Tribute Rice" were even printed very bluntly on them.

Qin Lin went forward and opened a bag to check.

The rice grains were as green as jade and crystalline-like suet. They were indeed a little different from ordinary rice.

He directly moved a bag of Xiangshui Tribute Rice out of the game, as well as the Quality 2 okra, yams, and broccoli he had promised Ma Liewen.

There were not many yams and broccoli. Although he had brought more okra, he only had more than 10 catties.

Even if he wanted Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen to owe him a favor, he did not give much.

If he gave too much this time, it would be difficult to do favors in the future.

After putting everything on the tricycle, he drove to the villa.

As noon approached, the villa became even more lively.

After foreign tourists finished admiring the triangular plum blossom sea, if they were not driving, they would usually leave behind a grill and a stove to cook.

This was the complete fun of coming to such a place.

Qin Lin drove the tricycle out of the hall and Chen Dabei welcomed him.

"Carry this rice in," Qin Lin instructed directly. He also walked in with Quality 2 okra, yams, and broccoli.

Chen Dabei and the security guard immediately attacked.

Qin Lin also entered the hall and saw Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen. Then, he walked forward and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, I've brought back the okra, yams, and broccoli I wanted. Also, I'll let you try the Xiangshui Tribute Rice at noon."

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were also looking forward to the Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

They knew the inside story and knew how difficult it was to buy this rice. It was difficult for locals to buy real Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

It was sent to the capital as soon as it was harvested. In a place like the capital, it was obvious who the table was for. They had once encountered a high-end rich person's gathering. An explosive rich person had heard of the famous Xiangshui Tribute Rice and asked if he could buy 20 catties to try. Everyone only looked at each other with a special smile.

At this moment, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also saw Chen Dabei coming in with a bag of rice. When they saw the bag with the words "Xiangshui Tribute Rice", they were stunned.

"?" Chen Shengfei.

"?" Ma Liewen.

Xiangshui Tribute Rice?

Qin Lin also instructed Chen Dabei, "Put this rice alone and get Master Lin to specially make one for Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded and carried the rice into the kitchen.

Chen Shengfei frowned and said, "Boss Qin, you might have been deceived."

Ma Liewen nodded and said tactfully, "Yes, Xiangshui Tribute Rice is very rare. Old Chen and I can only occasionally pull strings to buy some. The number won't exceed 10 catties."

That bag was 50 catties, right? It was a joke to buy so much Xiangshui Tribute Rice at once.

It was impossible to buy so much.

There were indeed many fake goods on the market. Some people who did not understand would be fooled and buy fake goods.

Actually, if one thought about it carefully, they would know that there was only so much production in total. Other than those that were transported to the capital, how could some of the shares still have a chance to be sold on the market?

Qin Lin was stunned when he heard their words. He did not expect to be deceived.

But his rice was real.

However, when he thought about it, if it were him, he would also think that he had been deceived when he saw more than 50 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

This reminded him that this thing was not suitable to be taken out in large quantities. Otherwise, if it was 100 catties a day, it would be 3,000 catties a month. How many catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice were produced a year? He could probably produce only 1.5 catty a month.

Was he so awesome?

Or could he produce it himself?

At the thought of this, he thought of the seeds produced by the game and immediately decided to try getting the seeds from the game.

What if he could really produce it himself?

However, when he heard Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen's words, Qin Lin pretended to be stunned. "That shouldn't be possible, right? We've known each other for a long time. You've never lied to me before."

He really acted like he didn't know anything. After all, he couldn't say that he wanted the two of them to distinguish between them previously, but ended up saying that it was real, right?

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen smiled and did not say anything else. After all, Boss Qin had just been deceived. He must be feeling terrible.

Qin Lin did not disturb the two of them. Just as he was about to walk into the courtyard again, he saw Zhao Moqing walk in from outside. She was holding a Han uniform that was protected by a plastic film. As soon as she entered, she said to Gao Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, when you're free in the afternoon, change into this outfit. I'll take a video for you."

"Okay, Sister Moqing." Gao Yaoyao nodded and took the Han uniform carefully.

Qin Lin walked in front of Zhao Moqing and asked with a smile, "Moqing, have you thought it through? Come to the villa to help me. I'm really worried about leaving the finances to others. I only trust my wife."

Zhao Moqing snorted. "Don't rush me. I'll tell Uncle tonight. As long as he agrees, I'll resign tomorrow, okay?"

…

In the kitchen.

Master Lin was already busy with the kitchen. It was the busiest at this time every day. Many tourists did not know how to cook. After coming to see the triangular plum blossom sea, it was time to order.

Suddenly, Master Lin was attracted by the fragrance of rice. It seemed to be specially steamed rice for Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma.

"It smells so good!"

"You smelled it too. I thought I smelled wrong."

"…"

The kitchen helper also smelled this mellow fragrance and revealed a surprised expression.

Rice had a mellow fragrance, but it could not be smelled anymore when cooked in a rice cooker. In the past, the fragrance of rice would be emitted when it was steamed with wood and cooked with wood.

But this mellow fragrance was clearly different now.

The steamed rice was less than one catty of rice, but it was actually so mellow and fragrant. It could not help but be surprising to people.

In the afternoon.

The hall became lively. The dining table was already filled with people, but the seats were limited. More people could only leave the villa to eat in the county city.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were already eating watermelons and strawberries of Quality 2.

This delicious dessert was also a pleasure.

When a Quality 2 bass was served, the two of them picked up their chopsticks and tasted it.

"Sirs, our boss especially cooked rice for you!" A waiter served the rice again.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen looked at each other.

This should be Boss Qin's Xiangshui Tribute Rice, right?

"It smells good," said Ma Liewen, surprised.

Chen Shengfei also said, "Yes, this fragrance is very strong."

Both of them were clearly attracted by the mellow fragrance.

The two of them picked up their chopsticks and ate. However, a moment later, they looked at each other in disbelief.

This taste and texture.

How could it be?

Chapter 54

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

"Old Chen, this rice… seems to be much better than the ones we bought in the past!" Ma Liewen opened his mouth.

"…" Chen Shengfei was silent for a moment before saying, "It doesn't seem like Boss Qin was deceived. It seems like we were the ones who were deceived. If this is the real Xiangshui Tribute Rice, then what we spent more than 1,000 yuan a catty to buy previously was fake."

Ma Liewen's temper flared up. "Do you all think that we're fools because we're rich? The Fragrant Pavilion isn't fooling me with pure wild fish. Now, that bastard Li Fei is also fooling us with fake Xiangshui Tribute Rice?"

Chen Shengfei frowned and said, "Who asked us to have never eaten real Xiangshui Tribute Rice? Li Fei wants to get close to our circle, but he still used fake goods to fool us. Just ignore him in the future."

"Yes!" Ma Liewen nodded and then said bitterly, "It's embarrassing. I just said that Boss Qin was deceived."

"…" Chen Shengfei was also helpless. Who knew that the clown was him? Then, he suddenly said, "Boss Qin's bag of rice should be 50 catties, right?"

Only then did Ma Liewen react. He could get 50 catties of such rice in one go. The person who sold Boss Qin the rice was either not simple or the other party thought that it was a fake and was using it to deceive Boss Qin.

Of course, they did not want to pry. After all, they did not rely on this to earn money. They were just customers. There was no need to worry about the rice.

Even if they knew that Boss Qin could get it, they might not be able to get it. The circle was different, after all. It was true that they were rich, but in some circles, they could not even buy it.

Otherwise, if they were rich, how could they have bought fake Xiangshui Tribute Rice before?

They just had to build a good relationship with Boss Qin. If Boss Qin had something good, they could just look for him.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen enjoyed this meal very much. It could be said that they had never been so carefree. From rice to fish and fruits, everything was classic.

Naturally, the price of these three dishes, one fish, one rice, and two fruits had also reached more than 9,000 yuan.

After the meal, the two of them looked for Qin Lin.

"Sirs, are you satisfied?" Qin Lin asked with a smile when he saw the two of them.

Chen Shengfei said awkwardly, "Boss Qin, your bag of rice might really be Xiangshui Tribute Rice. What we ate in the past was fake. It's much worse than yours."

Ma Liewen sighed and said, "We're stupid and rich. We've always been fooled by people who give fake goods and treat us as fools. We were naive to think that what we ate was real."

Hearing this, Qin Lin understood in his heart that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice produced by his game was definitely more delicious than the real one.

The two tycoons treated the food they had eaten previously as fake. They seemed to be very angry at the person who sold them the rice.

There was really no way to explain this. He could only say that someone had been implicated.

However, Qin Lin could only pretend to be surprised in front of the two of them. "In other words, I wasn't deceived? There are indeed more good people in the world. How can there be so many liars?"

"…" Chen Shengfei.

"…" Ma Liewen.

Qin Lin was not deceived. They were deceived. Be it the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion or Li Fei, who sold rice, they all treated them as fools. No wonder there was a saying that said that fools were rich.

Ma Liewen said awkwardly, "Boss Qin, I actually have something to discuss with you. Your watermelons are not bad. Can you sell me another batch? My company happens to have an anniversary celebration to entertain VIPs."

Qin Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was just worried that the sales of Quality 2 watermelons were not high for the time being. He could only sell a few a day.

There were already more than 60 in the game.

He immediately asked, "Mr. Ma, how many watermelons do you need? I don't have many of these watermelons in stock. Let's have more than 60."

"More than 60 is enough. I'll take them all!" Ma Liewen said decisively.

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll contact a car and install it later. I'll follow you to the city to avoid the problem of shipping and output."

"Okay!" Ma Liewen nodded in response. Then, he said in embarrassment, "Boss Qin, I have a presumptuous request. Can you give me some of your Xiangshui Tribute Rice?"

Chen Shengfei also said, "Boss Qin, on the account that we were deceived as fools in the past, transfer some to us this time."

Alright, he was already acting pitiful, making Qin Lin a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Chen, ordinary customers can't afford this rice. Take care of my business. I'll keep some for myself and transfer the rest to you!"

These words immediately made Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen feel very good. Their impression of Qin Lin increased.

For a big client like Ma Liewen, Qin Lin naturally had to serve him well. After negotiating, he drove the tricycle to the warehouse and moved the accumulated Quality 2 watermelons out of the game. He then spent some time loading the tricycle.

Only then did he transport the watermelon to the villa.

…

There were clearly more local guests in the villa in the afternoon. The short distance could give local tourists more time to choose and come at any time.

Furthermore, the weather was already turning cold. The afternoon sun was warm, and it was the best time to go to the sea of flowers.

Therefore, those who were not prepared to experience cooking in the villa would choose this time to play.

Li Jiawen was like this. Previously, her sister-in-law had given her so many tickets, so she had made an appointment with her three best friends to bring their husbands and boyfriends to see this sea of flowers. However, she had also asked around and found out that there were many tourists in the villa now. It was very difficult to park the car, so she only drove two cars.

Zhao Moyun parked his BMW 5 Series and got out of the car. Although he had used his uncle's connections, he had opened a KTV and had a BMW 5 Series. He had also married a beautiful and educated wife. He was definitely a successful person that everyone envied.

After Li Jiawen got out of the car, she held his arm. How could they not show off their love when they came to such a scenic area?

"I didn't expect this rich villa to have so many owners and tourists."

"That triangular sea of plum blossoms is really hot now. I see it on Douyin every day."

"Jiawen, hasn't this villa restricted ticket reservations? How did you get so many tickets?"

Li Jiawen did not know how to explain this question. Her sister-in-law had given it to her. Perhaps it was because of the tax bureau. After all, this villa had been taken by the tax bureau previously.

"Is that Qin Lin?" Zhao Moyun was walking when he suddenly saw Qin Lin driving a tricycle and pulling a car full of watermelons into the villa.

He naturally knew his sister's boyfriend and interacted with him a lot. To be honest, he knew Qin Lin's character. He was a good person. If his sister chose him, he would not object.

However, his mother was unwilling to see his daughter suffer. Since his mother objected, as her son, he could not say much. Otherwise, it would really be uncomfortable to be sandwiched between his sister and his mother.

"It's him!" Li Jiawen nodded.

"Jiawen, who is it?" a woman beside her asked.

"My sister-in-law's boyfriend," Li Jiawen explained.

A man beside him said in surprise, "Moqing's boyfriend? It seems like he's not very good. With Moqing's looks, can't she find someone better?"

Li Jiawen frowned and looked at the man. "Liu Hua, don't say that. Qin Lin is a good person. He was dragged down by his family. I heard that he's in the fruit wholesale business now. He should be here to deliver watermelons."

Liu Hua said indifferently, "He even came to deliver fruits wholesale. I think business isn't very good. I heard that it's difficult to do wholesale now. Moqing can find a better person. Why don't I introduce someone to Moqing? She can interact with more people and meet better people?"

Chapter 55

"Alright, since you're here to play, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Moyun directly stopped this topic.

To be honest, he did not care about Liu Hua at all. He had just opened a smoke hotel and did not even earn much money, yet he could not recognize himself.

He had been in contact with people who lent money and used POSS machines all day. He only knew how to eat, drink, and play. This kind of person came and went quickly. He was also easy to cause trouble. In his eyes, he was inferior to Qin Lin.

At least Qin Lin was hardworking and reliable!

However, the other party was his wife's best friend's boyfriend, so he could not say anything. When he returned, he had to remind his wife not to interact with this best friend.

Humans were very easily affected by their surroundings. His wife and best friend were fine now, but with such a boyfriend, their values would naturally slowly be assimilated over time.

Moments were important.

In a circle, if there was someone with bad values, it might lead a group of people's values astray.

After hearing Zhao Moyun's words, the group did not talk about this anymore and walked straight into the mountain villa.

After entering the villa, Li Jiawen saw Zhao Moqing walking over with a girl in a Han uniform. She shouted in surprise, "Moqing."

Zhao Moqing was returning from the sea of flowers with Gao Yaoyao when she bumped into her brother and sister-in-law. She immediately jogged over and greeted, "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Li Jiawen asked, "Moqing, shouldn't we be asking this? Why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, it's a long story. Let's go to the hall and I'll tell you in detail." Zhao Moqing immediately welcomed Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen to the hall.

When they arrived at the hall, Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen saw Qin Lin and two security guards holding watermelons and exchanging greetings at the door. There were two people standing beside him, and one of them looked familiar.

Zhao Moqing jogged to Qin Lin's side. "Qin Lin, my brother and sister-in-law are here."

Qin Lin turned around and saw Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen walking forward. He greeted them warmly, "Brother, Sister-in-law!"

Zhao Moyun went forward and patted Qin Lin's shoulder. He asked, "What's the market for these watermelons now? My KTV needs a lot of watermelons every day."

Previously, he did not know that Qin Lin was involved in wholesale watermelons. Now that he knew from his wife, he hoped to help as much as he could. After all, he could tell that his sister had decided on Qin Lin.

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "Brother, these are not ordinary watermelons. They're a special quality watermelon. One catty costs 100 yuan."

"…" Zhao Moyun was suddenly stunned when he heard this price.

100 yuan a catty?

A watermelon?

Liu Hua and the others clearly could not believe it either.

One of Li Jiawen's best friends said in surprise, "A watermelon that costs 100 yuan a catty? I've never eaten such an expensive watermelon."

"I think he's crazy about money." Liu Hua clearly did not believe it.

Li Jiawen thought of something and said, "This villa sells a special quality watermelon that costs 100 yuan a catty. Previously, it was on the hot search because of this. In the end, it was bought by the boss of Blue Ocean Corporation in the city. Qin Lin, did you supply this watermelon?"

When Zhao Moyun heard this, he subconsciously looked at Chen Shengfei.

He finally knew why it looked familiar.

He had seen that video before.

The other party was the chairman of Blue Ocean Corporation. He was a big shot.

He really wanted to know him, but he did not dare to go over and greet him.

Liu Hua said again, "Jiawen, you're thinking too much. There are definitely a large number of merchants who can supply such watermelons. How can they deliver them themselves?"

Clearly, self-righteous people often did not need a reason to target others.

When Zhao Moyun heard this, he glared at Liu Hua and secretly decided to let his wife interact less with his girlfriend.

This guy was simply arrogant and had no EQ at all.

At this moment, Chen Dabei put down the last watermelon and said to Qin Lin, "Boss, I've weighed it. It's a total of 748 catties."

The term 'boss' stunned Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen.

The couple looked at Zhao Moqing in surprise, their faces full of questions.

At this moment, Qin Lin also apologized to Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen. Then, he welcomed Ma Liewen and said, "Mr. Ma, the weight is out. You can randomly pick a melon to test. After that, I'll call a car to drive you back."

"There's no need. I believe in Boss Qin!" Ma Liewen waved his hand. Clearly, he did not want to do such a useless thing. Then, he said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, how much is my total? Let's settle it together, including the 40 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice. I'll pay for Old Chen's portion."

"Okay." Qin Lin nodded and took their bills. The meal was a total of 9,200 yuan. He had given the two of them 40 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice. The two of them insisted on bidding 1,000 yuan a catty and finally paid 49,200 yuan.

The watermelon weighed 748 catties. One catty was 100 yuan. 748,000 catties was a total of 124,000 yuan.

Qin Lin calculated the price and said to Ma Liewen, "Mr. Ma, the final price is 124,000 yuan."

"Alright, I'll transfer the money to you, Boss Qin." Ma Liewen did not waste his breath and directly transferred 124,000 yuan to Qin Lin to complete the transaction.

This stunned Zhao Moyun, Li Jiawen, and the others.

Especially Liu Hua. He could not believe it.

It was already 100,000 yuan? Why did it feel like it was as simple as 10 yuan?

When he thought of what he had just said, he panicked.

"Your last number… income is 124,000 yuan. The balance is 812,654.60 yuan."

Qin Lin's phone immediately received a transfer message. In addition to Ma Liwen's money and the income from the villa, his balance was about to exceed a million.

Then, he called Zhao Liyuan from the transportation company and asked him to send a small truck to transport the watermelons and follow Chen Shengfei and the other man back to the city.

After making the arrangements, Qin Lin said to the two of them, "Gentlemen, the car will be here soon. Wait for a while. I'll entertain the others."

Ma Liewen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Boss Qin, don't worry about us. Old Chen and I can handle it ourselves."

"Yes!" Chen Shengfei nodded.

Qin Lin walked toward Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen. "Brother, Sister-in-law, please come in." He brought the group to a table in the hall and sat down. He then instructed Chen Dabei, "Cut out a special quality watermelon."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded and walked to the kitchen with a special watermelon on the shelf.

Ma Liewen packed the Quality 2 watermelons in Qin Lin's inventory. The few Quality 2 watermelons on the shelves in the hall were still there.

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen were already looking at Zhao Moqing appraisingly.

"Moqing, tell me, what exactly is going on?" Li Jiawen interrogated her directly.

Her best friend also looked at Zhao Moqing curiously.

The group of people came to this villa in high spirits, but they did not expect that this villa might be opened by Li Jiawen's sister-in-law's boyfriend.

Therefore, it was inevitable that a very strange mentality would appear! Surprise? Curiosity? Or a hint of envy?

That feeling was hard to describe.

Zhao Moqing said proudly, "Qin Lin is actually the boss of this villa!"

Even though Li Jiawen had already guessed it, she was still very surprised. "No wonder the villa doesn't accept reservations, but you can give me so many tickets."

Zhao Moyun could not help but open his mouth. His family knew the situation of Qin Lin's family very well. They had not seen Qin Lin for a while, but he had already created such a villa?

From the video, it was impossible to get that sea of flowers without millions.

At this moment.

Qin Lin also brought a few catties of Quality 2 strawberries over and said, "Brother, Sister-in-law, try this special quality strawberry."

Li Jiawen looked at the strawberries and was stunned. She picked one up and tasted it. Then, she thought of something and asked Zhao Moqing, "Did you bring this back last time?"

"I think so!" Zhao Moqing nodded.

"Aiyo, I've wronged you." Li Jiawen suddenly felt bitter. Last time, she thought that the imported strawberries bought by her university best friend were not as good as Qin Lin's 20 yuan a catty. Who knew that Qin Lin's strawberries were also of special quality?

In those videos, the special quality strawberries in the villa cost 200 yuan a catty.

Chapter 56

Everyone at the table was clearly very interested in this strawberry. They all tasted it and were surprised after eating.

"This strawberry is too delicious, right?"

"Previously, I bought 200 catties of imported strawberries from my university best friend with Jiawen. The taste is much worse than this."

Li Jiawen's three best friends were also shocked.

Delicious +2, taste +2, sweetness +2, aftertaste +2. This kind of strawberry was definitely something they had never eaten in their lives.

Soon.

The watermelons were also brought out.

"Qin Lin, is this watermelon the kind that costs 100 yuan a catty?" Li Jiawen asked expectantly. She had seen the video previously and thought about what a watermelon that cost 100 yuan a catty tasted like.

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Yes, there are very few of these watermelons. Sister-in-law, try them."

Li Jiawen did not stand on ceremony. She picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. Then, she was attracted by the deliciousness of the watermelon again. "Yes… Yes, this watermelon is so sweet. The taste is too wonderful. I've never eaten such a delicious watermelon."

This attracted the interest of the others. They picked up the watermelons and ate them. Then, they were attracted by the deliciousness of the watermelons. In the past, they thought that those watermelons that cost more than 100 catties were paid by rich people, but the taste was no different from ordinary watermelons.

But now, it seemed that poverty had really limited their imagination. Indeed, you got what you paid for.

After eating it, they realized that the fruits at this price were indeed much more delicious than ordinary ones.

Naturally, the group did not know that their original thoughts were not wrong.

What they were eating now was a game product with attribute bonuses. Even watermelons that cost 100 yuan a catty outside could not be so delicious.

Liu Hua had to admit that this watermelon was delicious. After eating one piece, he did not forget to take a second piece. Then, he took out his phone and took a photo of the watermelon and strawberries before sending it to his WeChat Moments.

Title: 200-catty special-quality strawberries and 100-catty special-quality watermelons from Qinglin Villa. They are indeed delicious.

He knew very well that there were very few people in his circle of friends who had eaten fruits of this level. It was worth showing off.

As expected, someone liked and commented on his Moments.

After all, Qinglin Villa was not only popular online but also in Youcheng County.

"Brother Hua is awesome. These fruits are something I can't afford for the rest of my life!"

"Brother Liu, why did you go to Qinglin Villa to play?"

"…"

Those surprised comments made Liu Hua inexplicably proud and satisfied. He could not help but reply, "Boss Zhuang is my friend. He invited me to be his guest."

This attracted the surprise and envy of many people. After all, everyone knew that the boss of Qinglin Villa was definitely an impressive person in Youcheng County.

Liu Hua was even smugger. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if all of this was really related to him. Actually, all of this had nothing to do with him.

But who in his circle of friends knew that he had only taken advantage of them?

The smug Liu Hua did not see that her girlfriend was already frowning slightly as she held her phone. She saw her boyfriend's Moments and clearly felt a little embarrassed.

He had the cheek to show off something that had nothing to do with him. The key was that this reply really made her blush. Fortunately, she had not known this boyfriend for long and did not add Li Jiawen and the others on WeChat.

Arrogance, pride, and love to show off… When the other party was chasing him, he had not discovered these shortcomings. But now, it seemed that compared to Jiawen's husband's steadiness or Zhao Moqing's boyfriend's young and promising character, this was…

She didn't even know how to describe it.

Quality 2 watermelon and Quality 2 strawberries were definitely delicious.

He was still unsatisfied when he finished a watermelon and a few catties of strawberries.

Qin Lin got someone to cut another Quality 2 watermelon.

At this moment, the car sent by Zhao Liyuan arrived. Qin Lin greeted the group and brought Chen Dabei to load the car. Then, he had to send Ma Liewen and Chen Shengfei off.

Both of them were big customers.

After Qin Lin left, Zhao Moyun could not help but ask his sister, "Moqing, what's going on? Why did Qin Lin suddenly open this villa?"

He was worried.

After all, a person with a difficult family suddenly became rich. He was either lucky to have won a prize or did something illegal. It was impossible for him to earn a few million yuan in a short period of time.

Zhao Moqing explained to Qin Lin, "Brother, Qin Lin was lucky to catch an ornamental fish and it was bought by a boss for 650,000 yuan. After that, the boss recognized Qin Lin and even lent him money to open this villa. He even asked Qin Lin to help him catch fish again when he has the chance."

"Ah… What fish is so expensive?" Li Jiawen was surprised.

Everyone at the table was clearly attracted by this topic.

Their life circle clearly could not come into contact with such things.

Zhao Moqing explained, "I think it's called a wild Albino Tiger Fish!"

The moment this name was mentioned, everyone at the table took out their phones and searched.

Zhao Moyun was the same. Soon, he found relevant information. There was indeed an ornamental fish like the Albino Tiger Fish. It was terrifyingly expensive, and the wild ones were even more expensive. One was equivalent to his BMW 5 Series.

The information also said that this kind of fish was very rare in the country. However, some fish would appear in some river zones in the country, but the quality was not high. If one could catch a high-quality fish, there would definitely be people buying it for hundreds of thousands.

It seemed like Qin Lin was lucky. The heavens were blessing him. Not only did he catch a sky-high price fish, but he also got to know a boss who appreciated him.

There were always some people in this world who would be helped by nobles.

Qin Lin had clearly met a benefactor.

Zhao Moyun did not continue to probe. Firstly, it was rude. Secondly, he would be thought of as wanting to catch this fish. After all, some people with low EQ or IQ would definitely have such thoughts.

"Moqing, where did your boyfriend catch the fish?" Liu Hua could not help but ask.

650,000 yuan for a fish. Just the thought of it was tempting.

"…" Zhao Moyun frowned.

Zhao Moqing shook her head and said, "I don't know. Qin Lin didn't say anything."

Not long after.

Qin Lin had already returned after sending them off.

When Liu Hua saw Qin Lin, he seemed to have held it in for a long time. He asked anxiously, "Qin Lin, where did you catch that wild Albino Tiger?"

"?" Qin Lin did not expect anyone to ask this question. He had not made it up before, so he could only make it up on the spot. "It's in the area connected to the Central Lake by the reservoir beside the villa. It took three days and a lot of money to make preparations. I spent a full week to capture it, but my hard work paid off."

"It's at the reservoir!" When Liu Hua got the location, he immediately smiled and started calculating in his heart.

Zhao Moyun frowned again.

He really felt that he should let his wife interact less with that best friend. Women with such a boyfriend either had really bad taste, were like-minded, or were stupid!

Zhao Moqing had already held Qin Lin's arm and said, "Qin Lin, I'll bring my brother and sister-in-law to take a walk in the sea of flowers."

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded.

Just as the group was about to set off, Zhao Moqing's phone suddenly rang.

She immediately picked up the phone and heard her mother's angry voice. "Zhao Moqing, go home immediately. Also, bring Qin Lin."

"Uh!" Zhao Moqing was stunned. Before she could understand, the other party had already hung up.

Li Jiawen asked, "Moqing, what's wrong?"

Zhao Moqing said nervously, "Mom asked me to go back and bring Qin Lin along. She seems to be very angry."

"Ah, how did Mom know that you're with Qin Lin now?" Li Jiawen immediately raised her hand and said, "I didn't say it. I didn't snitch."

Then she looked at her husband.

Zhao Moyun was depressed. "Why are you looking at me? I haven't sent a message or called since I came in. It wasn't me."

Zhao Moqing and Qin Lin looked at each other guiltily.

Chapter 57

Suddenly disturbed by such a call, Zhao Moqing's interest disappeared.

When Zhao Moyun saw this, he could only say, "Moqing, Qin Lin, I'll drive you back!"

Li Jiawen could only say to her three best friends, "Shan Shan, go play in the sea of flowers first. I'll accompany Moqing back."

She had also heard her mother-in-law's voice on the phone just now. She seemed to be very angry and looked like something was about to happen.

Shan Shan was Liu Hua's girlfriend. She and her other two best friends could only nod.

"Qin Lin, Moqing, let's go!" Zhao Moyun called out to the two of them again.

The four of them arrived at the parking lot and got into the BMW 5 Series.

As soon as he got into the car, Zhao Moyun reminded him, "Qin Lin, why didn't you keep it a secret? You told Liu Hua where you caught the fish. I think that guy is an opportunist. He wants to catch it himself."

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Then let him catch it. It's his ability if he can catch it."

Was this a joke? His fish was made in the game. It would be strange if he could catch it in the place he said.

"You're really bold." Zhao Moyun shook his head and did not say anything else.

At least Qin Lin's temperament was not bad and his sister would not suffer. It was probably because of this that the boss decided to help him.

If it were Liu Hua, even if he sold the fish, with his character, the boss would not look at him after the transaction.

On the other side, Shan Shan and the others were also planning to enter the triangular sea of plum blossoms after Li Jiawen and her husband left. Liu Hua suddenly said, "Shan Shan, I have something to do in the county. You and everyone go and see the sea of flowers first."

He was clearly not in the mood to look at the sea of flowers anymore. Because he knew about the fish, his mind was filled with thoughts of catching fish. He said something and left.

Shan Shan's frown deepened.

She had inexplicably become the third wheel of two best friends?

"Shan Shan, your boyfriend doesn't seem reliable…"

"Shan Shan, why is he like this?"

These words made Shan Shan even more uncomfortable. Clearly, Liu Hua's performance this time had disappointed her too much.

However, Liu Hua had already walked out of the villa and did not forget to make a call. "Hao Zi, call Xiao Long to my shop and tell you about getting rich… What do you mean by getting rich? Do you know the boss of Qinglin Villa… Yes, he invited me to play in his villa just now. I heard that he got rich. There's a kind of fish in the area connected to the reservoir here…"

The more Liu Hua spoke, the more excited he became. A fish was worth 650,000 yuan.

…

Zhao Moyun's car quickly entered Youcheng County and stopped at Ming Yuan District in the Eastern City.

When he arrived outside Zhao Moqing's house, Qin Lin could not help but feel a little nervous.

Zhao Moqing seemed to have noticed his emotions and took the initiative to hold his hand.

Zhao Moyun opened the door. When the group entered the hall, they felt a stagnant atmosphere. Chen Xiao was already sitting on the sofa without a word. His face was ashen, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time. There were even two packed suitcases beside the sofa.

Anyone could tell that this was the prelude to the storm.

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen did not dare to speak anymore. They obediently sat on the other side and gave Zhao Moqing a look that said, "You're on your own."

When Zhao Moqing saw this, she went forward nervously and sat beside Chen Xiao. She asked nervously, "Mom, why did you pack your luggage?"

"That's your luggage," Chen Xiao said coldly. It was obvious that she was holding back her anger.

How could she not be angry?

She was originally going to update the household register today. After Li Jiawen married into the family, she had not been using the household register. She hoped that her daughter-in-law would have a grandson and planned to update the household register.

She had originally made an appointment with her friend who worked at the police station happily. Unexpectedly, when she updated the household register, she realized that her daughter was already married.

She thought that there was a mistake. After checking, she realized that her daughter's husband was actually Qin Lin.

How could she not know that her daughter had actually taken the household register and secretly registered her marriage with Qin Lin?

"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhao Moqing asked.

Chen Xiao threw a marriage certificate on the table angrily. "You're still asking me what's wrong? Do you even care about me?"

When they saw the marriage certificate, Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing knew what was going on.

Li Jiawen took the marriage certificate in confusion and looked at it. Then, she was in disbelief. "Moqing, you and Qin Lin actually registered your marriage. It's been so long."

Zhao Moyun looked at the date on it in disbelief.

His sister did not care about her mother at all. She had really done a good job.

He did not have the guts!

Zhao Moqing hurriedly said, "Mom, listen to me…"

"Don't say…" Chen Xiao interrupted Zhao Moqing angrily. Then, he looked at Qin Lin and said, "Qin Lin, bring him back. We've already registered our marriage. There's no need for him to stay at his mother's house forever."

"Auntie, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong about this." Qin Lin felt guilty and could only apologize sincerely. He also promised, "I can promise you that I'll definitely treat Moqing well. I definitely won't make her sad or aggrieved."

"Mom!" Zhao Moqing knew that her mother must be very angry this time.

"Let's go!" Chen Xiao did not give Zhao Moqing a good look at all. After stuffing the marriage into Zhao Moqing's hand, he did not wait for Zhao Moqing to react and took out a bank card and placed it in Zhao Moqing's hand. "There's 300,000 yuan here. Take it and pay for a house with Qin Lin. Otherwise, others will say that your father and I mistreated our daughter."

"Mom!" Zhao Moqing was stunned by this sudden action, but she could not control the warmth in her heart and a deep sense of guilt.

When Qin Lin saw this, he could only guarantee with the most sincere attitude, "Auntie, I don't need your money to buy a house. I promise to buy a house more than 120 square meters and write Moqing's name."

Zhao Moqing hurriedly returned the bank card to Chen Xiao. "Mom, Qin Lin is very capable now. He will buy a house soon. We were wrong previously. We won't dare to do it again."

Seeing that the two of them were serious, Chen Xiao's anger dissipated a little. Then, he frowned and looked at Qin Lin. "Qin Lin, I know you're a good person, but this isn't the time for you to have a backbone. Since you've done this, it'll be embarrassing for you to take this money. You'll even feel ashamed to live in Moqing's house in the future. You have to accept it."

Seeing that his mother's anger had subsided a little, Zhao Moyun finally said, "Mom, Qin Lin can really afford a house now. You don't have to worry."

Li Jiawen echoed, "That's right. Didn't you also know about Qinglin Villa? Didn't you realize that this name is very strange? Take out Moqing and Qin Lin's words and take a look."

"?" Chen Xiao frowned and looked at his son and daughter-in-law. "What do you mean?"

She naturally knew about Qinglin Villa. Her daughter-in-law had mentioned it a lot, and she had also seen it many times on WeChat. Everyone said that the owner of the villa was definitely a rich person. That triangular plum blossom sea could not be obtained without a few million yuan.

Zhao Moyun explained, "Mom, Qin Lin owns Qinglin Villa. Business is very good now. We just came back from there."

"…" Chen Xiao was clearly stunned as she looked at Qin Lin in disbelief.

Qin Lin was that rich man?

It was not like she did not know Qin Lin's situation. She could not react for a moment.

Actually, she did not hate Qin Lin. It was just that as parents, everyone wanted their daughter to live well.

She was angry when she knew that her daughter and Qin Lin had secretly registered their marriage, but she also saw her daughter's determination. She could only accept it. She did not want her daughter to get married again.

However, what she meant now was that Qin Lin was actually very promising?

For a moment, she looked at her daughter and Qin Lin's hands that had been holding each other. She actually could not get angry anymore. However, she had created a storm just now, so she did not know how to continue.

"Mom, we were wrong!" Zhao Moqing apologized again and even gestured to Qin Lin.

When Qin Lin saw this, he apologized sincerely in a low voice. "Auntie, we were really wrong. Please forgive us."

Chen Xiao looked at the two of them who were admitting their mistakes and could only pretend to snort angrily. "Hmph, if you needed my forgiveness, you wouldn't have secretly done this. You've already registered our marriage. Go back to your house now. Qin Lin, take her away now."

Chapter 58

At this moment, Li Jiawen came out to smooth things over. "Moqing, why don't you and Qin Lin go back first? I'll help you persuade Mom."

"Mom!" Zhao Moqing looked at Chen Xiao.

"Aren't you leaving?" Chen Xiao snorted again.

She had actually already forgiven the two of them. After all, she was her daughter and her son-in-law. She did not want to become enemies.

However, their secret marriage still made her angry.

She did not even know that the daughter she had cherished for more than 20 years belonged to someone else.

She had to show the attitude she should have as a mother. It was also for Qin Lin to see. She had to let him know that she was the one who chased her daughter out today and let him know how much her daughter had sacrificed for him.

Zhao Moqing was helpless.

She knew that her mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She could not be stubborn with her now. Anyway, she would be fine in two days. Zhao Moqing could only silently pull the two suitcases over and look at Qin Lin.

When Qin Lin saw this, he could only step forward to help.

"Take this away!" Chen Xiao stood up and stuffed the bank card into Zhao Moqing's hand. "I said that the dowry is yours. You can spend it however you want."

Even if Qin Lin was successful and rich and her daughter would not suffer if she followed him, she also knew that as a woman, she had to have her own pocket money to be more confident and comfortable.

"Mom!" Zhao Moqing took the card and could not help but hug Chen Xiao.

"Go," Chen Xiao whispered into Zhao Moqing's ear, his tone already very gentle.

"Qin Lin, drive my car back." Zhao Moyun threw his BMW key to Qin Lin and instructed, "Don't let my sister suffer in the future."

"Brother, I can't wait to protect her!" Qin Lin immediately promised.

He brought Zhao Moqing out. After getting into the car, he was still a little stunned. However, when he saw Zhao Moqing, he felt guilty. He knew that he could not let her suffer in the future.

As for his apology to her parents, he could only slowly make up for it in the future.

"Moqing, I'm sorry for making you suffer," Qin Lin said apologetically.

Zhao Moqing smiled and hugged Qin Lin's arm. "Hubby, I want to post our marriage certificate on my social media!"

"Your mother is still angry. Aren't you afraid of agitating her?" Qin Lin said worriedly, "Besides, we still don't know your father's attitude."

Zhao Moqing explained, "My mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has already forgiven us just now. Moreover, my mother is in charge of my family. My father listens to my mother."

Qin Lin immediately said, "You'll be in charge of our family in the future."

"Really?" Zhao Moqing asked happily.

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded.

Zhao Moqing immediately pretended to be a leader and said, "Alright, take me home now. Take out your marriage certificate and I'll take a photo and post it on WeChat."

As a woman, getting a marriage certificate was a huge matter in her life. Who didn't want to show off their Moments and receive the blessings of their friends?

She did not dare to do it before, but now, she could do it openly.

"Then let's go home." Qin Lin smiled and started the car.

His mother would definitely be very happy for him to bring Zhao Moqing home, right?

Furthermore, he and Zhao Moqing could now live together openly. When he wanted to be shameless, he did not have to secretly go to a hotel to get a room.

…

Upstairs.

"Mom, actually, Qin Lin is quite good. He's become successful now. You don't have to worry about Moqing suffering." After Qin Lin and his sister left, Zhao Moyun helped persuade her. "Moreover, since Moqing chose to secretly register her marriage with Qin Lin, it means that she really believes in Qin Lin. In that case, we might as well bless them."

When Chen Xiao heard these words, she rolled her eyes at her son and even snorted heavily.

Li Jiawen, on the other hand, was very tactful. She pinched Zhao Moyun and reminded him, "I said you don't have EQ. You're so good at everything outside. If you have EQ, can't you tell that Mom has already forgiven Moqing and Qin Lin? Did she deliberately let Qin Lin take Moqing away? She doesn't need you to persuade her."

When Chen Xiao heard this, she looked at her daughter-in-law in satisfaction.

In this house, her daughter, this little cotton-padded jacket, had been cheated away. Fortunately, the little cotton-padded jacket her son had stolen from someone else was also considerate.

"Oh, Mom is trying to save face again!" Zhao Moyun suddenly came to a realization.

"…" Chen Xiao's expression could not help but darken again. She rolled her eyes at her son without hesitation.

A moment.

The door opened.

Zhao Xianhong walked in and saw that the atmosphere in the family was a little off. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to call me back? I came back as soon as the school meeting ended."

He was Zhao Moqing's father, the senior chairman of Youcheng High School.

"What else happened?" Chen Xiao said angrily, "Your daughter secretly registered her marriage with someone else and was kidnapped."

"Is it Qin Lin? That child is not bad. Since your daughter is so determined, don't worry too much about the young people. They have their own lives to live." Zhao Xianhong immediately sat beside his wife and comforted her. "Back then, your family must have objected to your puppy love. Didn't you secretly write me a love letter in high school?"

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen seemed to have discovered a new continent as they looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.

This made Chen Xiao angry. She glared at her husband and said, "Zhao Xianhong, tell me clearly. Who chased who?"

Zhao Xianhong said very seriously, "Isn't it because of the love letter you wrote that chased me? However, I'm glad that I accepted your love letter and have this lifetime of happiness. I have a good wife like you."

These words directly attracted Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen.

Zhao Moyun did not know that his father was strict in front of his students and could educate those students who were in love at a young age. He was actually an experienced lover. When he saw his mother's angry expression, his heart softened.

Li Jiawen pinched Zhao Moyun's waist and glanced at him. "Why didn't you learn it?"

"Honey, with you, I'll be happy for the rest of my life," Zhao Moyun immediately said to Li Jiawen seriously. However, what greeted him was two coughs from Zhao Xianhong and Chen Xiao.

Seeing that he had coaxed his wife, Zhao Xianhong said, "Wife, I'm freer in two days. I'll apply for leave from school and visit Qin Lin's house personally. It's already like this. The two families still have to move around."

"Yes!" Chen Xiao nodded.

When Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen saw this scene, they heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, they would definitely feel uncomfortable being sandwiched in the middle.

Li Jiawen even took out her phone and secretly sent this good news to Zhao Moqing.

…

Qin Lin drove to the district and stopped. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Zhao Moqing throw herself into his arms happily and show him the message Li Jiawen had sent. "I told you Mom had forgiven me."

"Dad, Mom is coming to our house. We have to prepare well." Qin Lin smiled when he saw the message. He was already planning how to entertain them.

Quality 2 fruits and vegetables could not be lacking. Of course, Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice and wild fish could not be lacking either.

"You changed your tune pretty quickly." Zhao Moqing snorted.

Qin Lin helped Zhao Moqing move her luggage out of the car and went upstairs.

When he opened the door, Wang Cai came forward with a cry. When it saw Qin Lin and the others, it first jumped in front of Qin Lin twice before running to Zhao Moqing. Zhao Moqing liked it and squatted down to rub its head.

"Moqing, you're here." Lin Fen was cleaning the kitchen when she saw Zhao Moqing coming out with a smile.

"Mom!" Zhao Moqing immediately shouted sweetly when she saw Lin Fen.

This greeting stunned Lin Fen on the spot. She could not react for a moment.

Qin Lin looked at Zhao Moqing. This woman even said that he changed his words quite quickly.

Chapter 59

Lin Fen also saw Zhao Moqing's luggage and asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, what's going on?"

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "Mom, Moqing moved in and has been hiding something from you. Actually, Moqing and I have already registered our marriage."

"You registered your marriage?" Lin Fen was clearly shocked by this news. Then, she became anxious and complained to her son, "Xiao Lin, how could you do this? Didn't you think how uncomfortable Moqing's parents would be if they knew?"

"Mom, Moqing's family already knows," Qin Lin immediately explained.

Zhao Moqing also said, "My mother asked me to move here. My father and mother even said that they would visit in two days!"

Naturally, she would not say that her mother had chased her out. Also, she did not want her mother-in-law to worry about her.

"Really?" Lin Fen could not believe it.

"Yes!" Zhao Moqing nodded affirmatively.

Lin Fen was pleasantly surprised. She did not even know how to express the joy in her heart for a moment. Then, she rushed forward and snatched the luggage. "Rascal, what are you waiting for? Quickly bring Moqing to sit down. I'll help her bring her luggage into the room."

After that, Lin Fen packed up with a smile. The debt had been repaid. Zhao Moqing had really become a daughter-in-law. It was great.

Qin Lin was naturally in a good mood. He and Zhao Moqing had secretly registered their marriage. This was also a knot in his heart. Now that he had laid his cards on the table, he felt much more relaxed.

After helping Zhao Moqing arrange it, Qin Lin was about to bring her out to buy some toiletries when Lin Fen stopped him. "I still have to buy some women's toiletries. Why are you, a man, joining in the fun? I'll accompany Moqing."

"You can go back to the villa. Mom and I can go," Zhao Moqing said with a smile. She also wanted to shop with her mother-in-law. After all, she had moved in and had to start nurturing her relationship.

One of the best ways for women to get closer was to shop together.

Qin Lin nodded and was not worried. His mother cared a lot about Zhao Moqing. She would make proper arrangements.

When he returned to the villa, Qin Lin received another piece of good news.

A man in a suit and a hard hat came to him. "Boss Qin, your sales center is completely completed. You can check it."

Previously, when he built the triangular sea of plum blossoms, he had asked the contracting company to build the sales center together. In the beginning, his plan was to rely on the triangular sea of plum blossoms to attract tourists and then sell the things in the game (Chapter 28).

This man in a suit was a supervisor of the contract company. His surname was Lin.

The sales center was not far from the reception hall. It could be seen at a glance. It was still under construction previously, but it had been surrounded after the villa opened.

The sales center was a purely retro wooden structure. Naturally, it was not right to say that it was purely wooden. It was naturally impossible to use wood for some support points and key positions. There could not be any safety hazards.

"Manager Lin, let's go take a look!" Qin Lin smiled and followed the other party to the sales center.

The overall appearance of the sales center was retro. There was a specially built fixed sales table inside, separated from the sales area, and the location and design of the shelves were all references to some advanced scenic spots.

As for the scale, it was built according to the size of a medium-sized supermarket. It occupied about 800 square meters and had a total of two floors.

The second floor was relatively small, and the middle was clear. The second floor only had a circular area.

After building this building, other than the payment from before, the remaining money would be more than 200,000 yuan.

Qin Lin patrolled the sales center. Just the surface facilities alone had reached his expectations.

He did not know much about buildings and could only see some superficial problems. However, this contract company had a good reputation and would not ruin it for this sales center building. He did not have to worry about the quality.

Then, he looked at a sales area. It was a special area he had specially set up. Every sales table had a standing half-meter card slot. He had specially requested it.

This way, when the items produced by the game were placed on this sales desk in the future, he could also make an introduction card and place it in the slot for tourists to see.

For example, after placing the goods, the effect of the Quality 1 okra was introduced. Quality naturally could not be expressed with a +1 attribute. When the time came, the specially cultivated okra would be more effective.

This could also let tourists know why this thing was more expensive than the others.

With the area of the sales center, it was naturally impossible for him to fill it with the items he had taken out of the game. Even if he added the fruits and seafood sent by Lin Feng and Wang Wei, he could not do anything.

Now, the county had to give the support fund. After the approval and signing of the contract, they would have to add more drifting projects and accommodation projects. They had to prepare to wholesale some other things first, especially since the second floor was a special snack area. Otherwise, with so few things now, it would be far from satisfying.

With the county's support, once the funds were in place, the drifting project would probably be operational within a month.

The sales center was not bad overall. The pure wood structure was to reduce the time it took to renovate the poisonous substances. After some time, it could be used.

After confirming that there were no problems, Qin Lin called Chen Dabei over and instructed him to bring people to clean up the sales center. He also signed an acceptance contract with the other party and transferred the balance into the contract company's account.

Time passed and it was evening.

Ma Liewen also returned home happily. He returned to the company first and sent those special watermelons over before getting the driver to send him home.

The driver followed behind with 30 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice, as well as special-quality broccoli, yams, and okra. He had obtained 10 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice from Chen Shengfei.

When he entered, he realized that there was someone at home. His wife, Chu Qing, was entertaining a young and beautiful woman carrying a child. It was her best friend, Lin Liu. Her husband had an ordinary job, but he had to give her husband a lot of face because her husband's brother and father were very important in the city.

He and his wife were even brought together by Lin Liu.

"Hubby, you're back!" Chu Qing stood up to welcome him with a smile. "After Lin Liu gave birth, her mother-in-law said that she had too little milk. Coincidentally, I bought five catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice from Li Fei's gold and jade luxury goods today. When I saw that she was depressed, I invited her home. Sister Wu is cooking. It's good that you're back."

When he heard the Xiangshui Tribute Rice, Ma Liewen was excited. "That's a coincidence. I got some Xiangshui Tribute Rice too."

With that, he asked the driver to carry the 30 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice over.

Marvin opened the bag proudly and said, "Honey, don't spend that money to buy water and rice from Li Fei in the future. That guy thinks we're stupid and rich."

When she saw the bag of Xiang Water Tribute Rice carried by the driver, Chu Qing was stunned. "Hubby, you're not saying that these are Xiangshui Tribute Rice, are you? Have you been deceived? Xiangshui Tribute Rice is not cabbage. There are still people who want to snatch my five catties. It's Li Fei who said your name, and the other party gave in."

Chapter 60

When Ma Liewen heard his wife's words, he was unhappy. He shouted inside, "Sister Wu, come out for a while."

A middle-aged nanny walked out. "Mr. Ma."

"Sister Wu, take this rice in and cook it too. It's different from Madam's. Also, make a portion of these okra, yams, and broccoli." Ma Liewen instructed the nanny. This nanny's culinary skills were very good, and it was precisely because of this that he had hired her at a high price.

"Okay, Mr. Ma." Sister Wu nodded.

The driver also followed Sister Wu into the kitchen with his things and left respectfully.

Not long after.

Sister Wu finished cooking and came out to invite the three of them to the table.

The table was already set with okra, yams, broccoli, and two kinds of rice.

For a tycoon like Ma Liewen, such a meal was a little embarrassing, but only he knew that this meal was something many tycoons could not eat even if they wanted to.

Be it the real Xiangshui Tribute Rice or this special quality okra, yams, and broccoli, they could not be bought with money.

"Sister Wu, which portion of rice did I bring back?" Ma Liewen asked.

Sister Wu pointed to the one on the left and said, "Sir, this one."

Ma Liewen nodded and said to his wife, "Honey, try the one you bought from Li Fei first."

Chu Qing nodded and filled a bowl of rice for himself and Lin Liu. Then, he tasted two mouthfuls.

Then, she said, "The texture and taste are the same as before. This is real Xiangshui Tribute Rice."

Lin Liu nodded as well.

Ma Liewen shook his head and said, "That means we've been tricked again. Now try what I brought back."

"?" Chu Qing's mind was filled with doubts, but she did as she was told. She filled another bowl of rice that Ma Liewen had brought back. However, after taking two bites, her face revealed disbelief. "Hubby, why is this rice so delicious?"

Chu Liu, who was holding the child beside her, was also in disbelief. She had never eaten such delicious rice before.

Ma Liewen smiled. "Now you know? This is the real deal. I've never eaten real rice before. I thought the ones I bought were real, but I'm paying a wisdom tax."

When Chu Qing heard this, he was immediately vexed. "Why would a luxury item do such a thing? I won't go there again."

No one liked to be an idiot.

Ma Liewen said proudly, "Don't be angry. Fortunately, I met Boss Qin this time and realized that I've been deceived. In the future, I'll only believe in Boss Qin. By the way, try these okra, yams, and broccoli. They're also treasures from Boss Qin."

These words clearly made the two women curious. What kind of big shot was Boss Qin to make the dignified Ma Liewen say such things?

This Quality 2 okra, yam, and broccoli did not have any deliciousness or texture. It tasted normal.

However, as time passed, the feeling was different. Slowly, a warm and comfortable feeling appeared.

"Hmm… Ah…" Lin Liu had just finished eating. When he put down the bowl, he suddenly could not help but make a very ambiguous sound.

This made the couple look at her in surprise.

"Erm…" Lin Liu was suddenly embarrassed. She did not expect to suddenly feel two warm currents flowing to the front two places. She could not help but feel comfortable, just like…

This was naturally the effect of Quality 2 okra under Milk modulation +2. After all, she had just given birth.

With this interlude, Lin Liu was also embarrassed. After dinner, she bade farewell and left with her child.

Ma Liewen, on the other hand, pulled his wife upstairs with a smirk.

…

This night.

This was the first time Zhao Moqing had stayed in Qin Lin's house. The room was also filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Qin Lin hugged Zhao Moqing from behind. "If I had known earlier, I would have brought you to the hotel first. There's no way to celebrate!"

"Pfft, you're thinking about such a thing?" Zhao Moqing said shyly.

"How can you blame me? You were the one who asked me to help you tidy your underwear!" Qin Lin said bitterly. The soundproofing of this rented house was not good, so he could not do anything.

"You're just dirty-minded!" Zhao Moqing pouted.

The night was calm, but it was different.

The next day, Qin Lin woke up and looked at the screen in his mind. All kinds of crops had ripened. The Xiangshui Tribute Rice had ripened late last night. He had also slept then and could only harvest it this morning.

He controlled the game character to harvest all the crops and planted new seeds before retracting his attention. He realized that Zhao Moqing had already woken up and was staring at him with her beautiful eyes.

To Zhao Moqing, this night was different. After all, she had openly stayed in Qin Lin's house as his wife.

"Rest more. I'll transport the goods to the villa. I want to go personally for those special goods." Qin Lin kissed Zhao Moqing's forehead before getting up to wash up and leave.

On the other side.

Ma Liewen woke up early in the morning. Boss Qin's things made him a warrior after a night. He was really in a good mood.

This also made him decide to build a good relationship with Boss Qin. After all, only Boss Qin had these things.

Half an hour later, Ma Liewen and his wife showered and went downstairs. As soon as they arrived, Chu Qing received a message. Then, he said to Ma Liewen with a strange expression, "Hubby, where did you get those things yesterday?"

"What is it?" asked Ma Liewen.

Chu Qing pointed at her chest and explained, "Didn't Lin Liu eat yesterday? When she woke up this morning, she had enough for the child to eat. There was actually still a lot left. She didn't have enough for the child in the past."

"…" Ma Liewen was stunned. This was not only effective on men, but also on women?

He immediately took out his phone and searched. It was true. The effect of the okra was not only good for men but also for women. It was just that the effect of Mr. Qin's special breed was especially strong.

This reminded him of something.

…

When Qin Lin arrived at the warehouse, he entered the game and moved out the okra, yams, broccoli, strawberries, and watermelons in batches to the villa.

As for the Xiangshui Tribute Rice, he had left it in the game. It was not appropriate to take out too much of it. Other than what he ate, he was afraid that it would have to be sold in the game for the time being.

When Qin Lin finished sending everything to the villa, he realized that Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen had also arrived.

"Mom is coming over, so I brought her over," Zhao Moqing said.

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded.

He knew his mother's personality. He had promised her to come to the villa to help but had never fulfilled his promise. Now, she had seized the opportunity.

As soon as they entered the hall, Chen Dabei ran over and said in surprise, "Boss, those watermelon seedlings have grown!"

Chapter 61

Qin Lin and Chen Dabei entered the field at the back of the hall. When they entered, they saw that the seeds of the Quality 2 watermelons had already grown.

That was good news for him.

In other words, the seeds of the game could be taken outside.

The next thing he needed to know was whether the seedless watermelon seeds of Quality 2 could be planted with Quality 2 watermelons.

If he couldn't maintain Quality 2, what about Quality 1?

Or was it possible for one or two seeds to undergo environmental variation and nurture another Quality 2 seed that was suitable for real land?

He would have to try all that.

Then, he thought of the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seed and instructed Chen Dabei, "Make another small artificial water field here and turn the soil to fertilize it according to the rice field standards. I have a use for it."

The seeds clearly indicated that there was a chance of mutation and adaptation to the environment. If this seed really adapted to the environment in Youcheng County, it could only be planted in Youcheng County.

This kind of rice was too harsh on the environment. It could not be grown anywhere else.

At that time, it might be too ostentatious to call it Qin Lin Rice, so it could be called Youcheng Rice.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei replied, but he was clearly even more puzzled. Boss planted watermelons and potted plants, and now he even asked him to plant a paddy field. Could it be that he was going to plant rice in winter?

After instructing Chen Dabei, Qin Lin returned to the hall. When he was free, he looked at the game. The level of the game character needed to rely on planting and picking crops to obtain experience. There was no way to level up.

Before the crops matured, he could only control the game characters to explore the game map. With this thought in mind, he controlled the game characters to enter the forest. He was surprised to find a plot prompt in the game.

The official introduction said that there were a lot of plots set in this version of Ranches Story, and they were randomly open. It was all up to the players to explore.

But he had only just met Zach who gave him fishing rods and Arnie the dwarf who gave him ornamental fish.

The key was that he had previously controlled the game characters to run through Ore Town, the seaside, the park… He had also entered the forest several times without triggering the plot. Today, he triggered it as soon as he entered.

[There's a bee here. Go ahead and look. I think there's honey!]

Qin Lin looked at the notification in surprise.

He remembered that honey could be picked in the old version of Ranches Story. Besides, the old honey was in the tree in front of the house, but here it was in the forest.

He tried to control the game character as he headed for the tree. Sure enough, he saw the beehive. As the game character approached the tree, he saw that the previous NPC, Zach, had come again.

"Wow, bees have appeared here. There's a lot of demand for honey in the Ore Town market. I can give you a set of tools to pick honey. I really look forward to receiving the honey you sent!"

Zach faithfully fulfilled his duty as an NPC and left after saying his lines to the game character.

Qin Lin also realized that there were more tools for collecting honey on the game character's toolbar. Without hesitation, he controlled the game character to pick the honey from the tree.

[Congratulations on obtaining 30 catties of pure wild honey!]

It was actually pure wild honey!

One had to know that the price of pure wild honey in the market now was very expensive. One catty would not be lower than 150 yuan. Some expensive ones even cost 300 yuan per catty.

The reason why it was expensive was also simple. Pure wild honey was far from the city, and the natural environment was superior. The air was fresh and free of pollution. No human intervention had been used, which meant that there was no residue of anti-disease worms or antibiotic drugs like there had been in the breeding honey.

In addition, pure wild honey had a low yield and a long production cycle. It was difficult to find it. The most important thing was naturally its high nutritional value. Some could even be used as medicine. Those prices could even reach 500 yuan. They were called medicinal honey.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to put the wild honey into the storage room. Then, he controlled the game character to enter the forest and search. He wandered around the entire forest and actually found two more beehives, collecting another 60 catties of wild honey.

Then, he went to the hall to find an empty jar. The pure wild honey plucked from the game did not have a single container, but was placed in a special overall container.

After finding an empty cubicle to lock himself in, Qin Lin chose to enter the game.

When expanding the villa, he had to build a new personal residence. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to enter the game.

The few dormitories were now occupied by Gao Yaoyao's employees.

After entering the game, Qin Lin immediately went to the storage room. When he arrived at the container where the honey was stored, a strong fragrance of honey wafted into his nose, making him salivate.

He looked at the note on the sign:

[Pure Wild Honey: Quality 2 (90 catties)]

[This is pure wild honey without any pollution or toxins. It has magical effects: texture +2, delicious +2, relieving fatigue +2, treating constipation +2, relieving chronic gastritis +2!]

Qin Lin knew that different regions and types of wild honey had different effects due to different honey sources. The pure wild honey produced by the game did not have much effect. Other than the sense of opening and deliciousness, it only had the effect of relieving chronic gastritis and treating constipation.

However, just treating constipation alone was definitely a blessing.

Anyone with a history of constipation knew better than to think about having it again after the first time. It was too painful. They always felt like they were going to die in the toilet.

Qin Lin decisively filled a small jar with honey.

The small jar was small enough to hold a catty. Then he looked at the screen in his mind again. The image inside was already showing the surroundings of the toilet outside.

Seeing that there was no situation, he exited the game with a thought.

Qin Lin opened the cubicle door and left the toilet. A few tourists who were about to go to the toilet looked at the jar filled with yellow things in his hand in shock.

The tourists looked at Qin Lin in shock and immediately looked like they had seen a ghost. They distanced themselves from him in disdain.

"…" Qin Lin's mind was filled with black lines.

Have these people misunderstood something?

He immediately hurried away as if nothing had happened and returned to the hall. He found a glass at the bar and made honey water.

The most common way to eat honey was, of course, to soak it in honey water. A glass of cold honey water was definitely a treat. However, it was beginning to be winter, so it was best to soak it in warm water.

Moreover, soaking wild honey in warm water was the correct way. This way, it would facilitate the dissolution. Not only would the temperature not be too high, but it would also allow the human body to absorb it more easily.

After the honey was soaked, Qin Lin picked it up and tasted it. However, after taking two sips, his eyes lit up slightly. After drinking this honey water, he inexplicably felt refreshed, and the fatigue from moving things gradually disappeared.

He hurriedly picked up the honey water and poured it in one go. The magical feeling slowly intensified.

This should be the effect of relieving fatigue +2.

In the past, he had often seen advertisements such as 'drinking so-and-so drinks to relieve your fatigue and immediately feel refreshed' on television. He didn't know if those drinks were useful, but the honey water made from wild honey in this game really had this effect.

Chapter 62

"Qin Lin, are you drinking honey water?" Zhao Moqing walked in from outside with Lin Fen, who was holding Wang Cai's hand.

Wang Cai seemed to smell something. He ran to the bar and sniffed at the spot where the pure wild honey was.

"Try it!" Qin Lin handed the cup of honey water to Zhao Moqing.

Zhao Moqing took a sip of the honey water and was surprised. "Qin Lin, isn't this honey water too delicious?"

Qin Lin understood Zhao Moqing's reaction.

It already had the attributes of texture +2, delicacy +2, and fatigue relief +2. After taking a sip, he felt refreshed.

This was definitely amazing.

"Mom, try some too." Zhao Moqing handed the honey water to Lin Fen.

Lin Fen tasted it and found it equally incredible. "Xiao Lin, this isn't ordinary honey, is it?"

"Yes, it's pure wild honey!" Qin Lin nodded.

"Woof!" Wang Cai's impatient cry sounded at this moment.

It pranced at Lin Fen, its gaze fixed on the honeyed water as if to say that it was its turn.

"I've never seen a dog as greedy as you!" Lin Fen complained. She quickly took out a transparent cup from her bag that was specially used to feed dogs. She put the honey water in it and placed it in front of Wang Cai.

...

Lin Fen was obviously spoiling the dog more and more. For old people, it was really easy for their children to develop feelings for their pets when they were too busy.

The dog sniffed it and hurriedly drank some of the honey water. After a moment, it bounced around and whined, as if to express that it was delicious.

"Boss, there are more and more people. We're going to recruit new people. We're going to be too busy." Gao Yaoyao entered the hall, sweating profusely, and complained to Qin Lin.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Qin Lin smiled and took a cup of honey water for Gao Yaoyao.

He also knew he had to find someone.

The fire at the villa was still a hot topic in Douyin. There were more tourists every day.

"Thank you, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao thanked him sweetly. Since her boss had personally poured the water, she was too embarrassed to complain.

But after gulping down the honey water, she also felt the difference and exclaimed, "Boss, this honey water…"

She couldn't believe it. This honeyed water was so good. It felt better than any drink.

Was this still honey water?

Gao Yaoyao's exclamation attracted many tourists in the hall.

The old man, who was feeding medicine to a little girl holding her stomach, looked over and then went forward to ask in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, may I ask, did you drink honey water?"

"Yes, sir," Qin Lin replied politely.

The old man asked in embarrassment, "It's a little presumptuous. Can you please make me a cup of honey water? My granddaughter has chronic gastritis. Who knew that it would suddenly act up? Honey water can replenish the spleen and stomach and relieve the pain of gastritis."

Qin Lin glanced at the girl.

Wasn't that a coincidence?

His pure wild honey had the effect of treating chronic gastritis +2.

He was not petty and immediately said to the old man, "Old man, please wait a moment."

He made a cup of honey water and handed it to the old man.

"Thank you!" The old man was obviously well-mannered. He thanked him before taking the honey water and walking toward his granddaughter, handing it to the girl.

The girl took the honey water and drank it. After a few mouthfuls, she said in surprise, "Grandpa, this honey water is delicious. Try it."

Seeing that his granddaughter was filial, the old man took a sip. "Eh, this tastes really good!"

It could be said that in taste and texture, this honey water was definitely better than any drink he had ever drunk!

Soon, the little girl finished her glass of honey water.

She was also surprised to find a warm feeling in her stomach. "Grandpa, is the medicine better this time? It doesn't hurt so much anymore."

"Really?" The old man was surprised, too, but he took a second look at the honeyed water.

He was a doctor and knew that the medicine was still the original medicine. That must be the effect of the honey water. He had drunk some honey water just now. Ignoring the taste, he knew that the honey was not simple.

But with such an obvious effect, it was probably medicinal honey that was specially used, right?

That kind of honey was rare. The cheaper ones cost more than 500 yuan per catty, and the more expensive ones cost more than 1,000 yuan. It was not that ordinary people could not afford it, but they could not buy the real thing.

Because there was a small amount of this medicinal honey and there were too many fake goods on the market, most people did not know how to differentiate them.

"Grandpa, this honey water is so good. I want more." The girl finished her glass of honey water and looked at the old man prettily.

The old man took the cup and went to the bar with some embarrassment. He said to Qin Lin, "I'm really sorry. I know this is medicinal honey. Can't you give me another cup? I can spend money."

The old man's words surprised Qin Lin. This old man even knew about medicinal honey. In other words, the wild honey produced by this game was really medicinal honey.

"Old sir, you're too polite. It's just a cup of honey water. It's free." Qin Lin was not stingy with a cup of honey water and immediately brewed another cup for the old man.

Medicinal honey was a special kind of honey. It was more effective, more expensive, and even had medicinal value.

The medicinal honey was also divided into grades. The ordinary ones had ordinary effects and also had a medicinal smell.

Some treasures not only retained the sweetness of honey but also had better medicinal value. They could be used directly for medicinal purposes and cost more than a thousand yuan a catty.

Qin Lin knew that the honey he picked in this game was not medicinal honey. However, with this to relieve fatigue +2, treat constipation +2, and treat chronic gastritis +2, it was definitely not inferior to those medicinal honey treasures.

Besides, the honey water was so good that he thought of a new money-making project.

He remembered that in the game, after bees appeared, honey would basically be refreshed every day. He would see how it went tomorrow.

Seeing that the honey water in Lin Fen's hand was gone, Qin Lin took out a cup and made a cup for Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen.

"Woof!" When Wang Cai saw this, it stood up again and placed its transparent water bowl on the bar.

Qin Lin was stunned.

The dog's purpose was clear.

This guy!

Lin Fen smiled and stroked the dog's head. "My child is smart."

"…" Qin Lin was speechless. He made some honey water for the dog and put it away.

What kind of child did his mother randomly recognize?

So what did that make him?

Has he become siblings with Wang Cai?

"Xiao Lin, Moqing's parents are coming to the house tomorrow. Remember to prepare the dishes." Lin Fen remembered something and didn't forget to instruct Qin Lin.

These words made Zhao Moqing reveal a trace of embarrassment. Tomorrow, both parents would officially meet.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Qin Lin had already secretly registered their marriage, this first meeting should be considered the engagement stage.

"Mom, I understand. Everything is ready." Qin Lin immediately nodded. The matter with Zhao Moqing had finally been forgiven. How could he slack off?

Quality 2 vegetables, fish, fruit, and Xiangshui Tribute Rice were ready. When the time came, he would prepare some other vegetables and seafood.

As they were chatting, Qin Lin saw Chen Li walk in with the young man from before. He must be here to support the fund again.

Chapter 63

Chen Li came in and said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, shall we find a quiet place to talk?"

"Director Chen, let's go over there." Qin Lin led Chen Li to a corner table and sat down.

He knew that the other party must be here to talk about the support fund again.

"Boss Qin, the county has already approved the matter regarding the villa support fund." Chen Li sat down and said, "We will be carrying out the 1+2 project and interest-free project repayment fund support for Boss Qin's villa. I wonder if Boss Qin has any ideas or project plans?"

Qin Lin had studied the support policy and knew that Project 1+2 referred to a large project and two small projects.

It was just that the county planned to support his villa in three more projects.

The interest-free project repayment fund meant that he did not have to pay the interest. Moreover, he did not have to pay the money. After the project was built, he would pay with the money earned by the project. After paying, the project would completely belong to the villa.

It also meant that the county had high hopes for his villa.

Qin Lin said, "Chief Chen, there's a plan. I've thought about the rafting project you mentioned previously. It can indeed build a 10-kilometer rafting project. All the facilities might cost more than 6 million yuan."

This was naturally the plan he had thought of from the beginning, but he knew that saying this would definitely make Chen Li feel very comfortable.

As expected, Chen Li said with a smile, "This is considered a project. Boss Qin, do you have any other ideas?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "There's another idea. That is to expand the villa. There's a serious shortage of stoves for customers now. In addition, there's the problem of accommodation. I want to build some bridal chambers like the Hero Valley to solve some accommodation problems. This might cost more."

The so-called bridal chamber was actually a building that was similar in size to a Mongolian yurt and a military tent. It was built in a special way.

The wedding room in this scenic area was very small, but it had everything. There was everything in the small space and the infrastructure was complete. Many scenic areas used such accommodation buildings now.

Moreover, this bridal chamber was not expensive. It was built very quickly. As long as the money was in place, it could be built in a month.

"Yes, this can also be considered a project!" Chen Li nodded and asked, "What about the other project?"

Qin Lin said, "I haven't thought about that yet. Why don't you give me a suggestion, Chief Chen?"

Chen Li did not refuse and suggested, "Boss Qin, your villa is famous for its triangular plum blossom sea. You can create another sea of flowers. The villa covers an area of 500 acres, and most of it is barren land. You can completely create a 100-acre comprehensive sea of flowers. I believe it will be very popular."

"Alright, then let's do as Chief Chen says and create another comprehensive sea of flowers!" Qin Lin agreed. In any case, he couldn't find a better project in this wasteland, for the time being, so he might as well follow Chen Li's suggestion.

With these three projects, the support fund would probably exceed 25 million yuan.

If he were to rely on himself to take it slow, it would definitely take a lot of time to build while investing in the mountain villa's income.

With the support of the county, with the current number of tourists, he might have finished paying off the county in the same amount of time. The key was that he wouldn't have to spend a single cent.

Seeing that they had probably come to an agreement, Chen Li said, "Boss Qin, other than the support fund, the county hopes that you can join the county's tourism association. At the entrance of the mountain villa, we can promote the other scenic spots in Youcheng County. During the holidays, the tourism association will also promote the tourism projects and hold discounts. When the time comes, we hope that you can join us."

This was clearly an additional condition.

Another reason why the county had taken a fancy to the number of tourists in his mountain villa was obviously that the mountain villa was very helpful to the county's entire area tourism + plan.

This was no loss to him. It was good to contribute to the tourism industry in his hometown.

The key was that he could obtain many hidden benefits this way. As long as he developed well, it was equivalent to having invisible protection behind him.

Therefore, Qin Lin nodded and said, "Chief Chen, that won't be a problem. Everyone will have to make the county's tourism + cake big enough for everyone to benefit."

"It's good that Boss Qin thinks that way. Then the specific terms of the contract will be drawn up in the county before I inform you. You can also make a plan first. When the time comes, you will also need the Financial Bureau's plan to review and supervise." Chen Li was also very satisfied with this outcome. After that, he did not stay any longer and left with his men.

This also allowed him to see that Boss Qin's overall vision was not bad. Such a person should not have developed the villa too badly. The county's support would definitely be rewarded.

Qin Lin returned to the bar.

Zhao Moqing asked curiously, "Qin Lin, who was that just now?"

"Director Chen of the Tourism Bureau!" Qin Lin explained and asked Zhao Moqing with a smile, "Moqing, other than the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, which part of the country do you think is more beautiful?"

Zhao Moqing thought for a moment and said, "I've seen the publicity for the Sea of Flowers in the Light Town in Shen City. The flowers planted there include Rapeseed flowers, Persian Chrysanthemums, Hundred-day Grass, Cosmos sulphureus, Oncidium Hybridum, Begonia, Moran flower… The mixed Sea of Flowers has more than 280 days of uninterrupted blooming in a year. It's very beautiful. There are also many couples who choose to go there to take wedding photos."

Hearing this, Qin Lin smiled and hugged Zhao Moqing's waist. "Then our villa will build our own Light Town. We'll plant these flowers. When the Sea of Flowers is done, we'll take wedding photos inside."

Zhao Moqing was stunned and looked at Qin Lin in a daze. "Qin Lin, are you serious? The villa already owes millions. Where did you get the money from?"

"That person just now sent money." Qin Lin smiled and told her about the support fund.

"Is that true?" Zhao Moqing was surprised. She clearly didn't expect Qin Lin to receive so much support from the county for building a villa.

"Of course!" Qin Lin said firmly, "We'll start work as soon as the support fund arrives."

After that, Qin Lin took out his phone and went online to check on the proposal for the support fund.

Zhao Moqing looked at Qin Lin with stars in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of a sentence:

She said she liked French sycamores, that year the streets were planted with sycamores!

Chapter 64

By evening.

Qin Lin was sitting in front of the computer at the bar counter and preparing the proposal for the support fund when Chen Dabei ran in with beads of sweat on his forehead. He reported, "Boss, the artificial field you asked me to dig has been dug up and fertilized!"

Puzzled, Lin Fen asked, "Xiao Lin, what are you doing turning over the fields?"

"I want to cultivate some rice seedlings," Qin Lin explained with a smile. He took out the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds he had brought out from the game from under the bar and a book called "Detailed Explanations of Cultivation of Rice Seeds".

The seeds were already soaked and disinfected. After all, this was not a game. In reality, rice had to be disinfected before being planted.

Lin Fen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Child, what month is it now? Why are you still cultivating rice seedlings? Your generation hasn't been in the field before. You don't even know common sense."

"Mom, I know. Our southern rice is divided into early rice, middle rice, and late rice according to the planting time. The early rice cultivation is from March to April, most of the time around the Tomb Sweeping Festival. The middle rice cultivation is from April to May. The late rice cultivation is in mid to late June." Qin Lin smiled and knew it was worth it to read this book. Then he said, "My rice seeds are a special breed. They can be planted in winter."

The Xiangshui Tribute Rice, like the Quality 2 watermelon, was not restricted by the season. It could be said that this was a very shocking attribute in itself.

"?" Lin Fen was clearly shocked. "There's rice that can be planted in winter?"

Born as a farmer, she'd obviously been given a hard time. It was the first she'd heard of it.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mom, there's nothing strange about planting rice in winter. Our country already has such technology, but mine is a little special."

Hearing this, Lin Fen didn't ask any more questions. Technology was developing rapidly now, and someone as old as her was almost unable to keep up.

Chen Dabei, who was following behind Qin Lin, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, is what you said true? There's really rice planted in winter?"

...

"I wonder if I can plant it here." Qin Lin smiled and said, "This seed is too demanding on the environment, climate, and soil. I'm just trying it out. Otherwise, do you think others would give me such a good seed?"

Chen Dabei nodded. "That's true! If it were me, I wouldn't give this seed to anyone. It would be amazing if I could plant it in winter."

However, what Qin Lin was waiting for was the special attribute of the Xiangshui Tribute Rice, which had an extremely low chance of adapting to the environment and climate.

All it would take was that one seed to adapt, and that seed might grow rice of his own.

It had to be known that back then, Old Master Yuan could support the people of a country with just a seed he found.

With this seed and the relevant books left behind by Old Master Yuan's seniors, he was only waiting for a chance.

Qin Lin followed Chen Dabei to the overturned artificial water field.

He rolled up his pants and went to work in the field. He saw Lin Fen holding Wang Cai and Zhao Moqing's hands and following him.

When she heard about her son's special breed of rice seeds, she couldn't help but come over to take a look. Moreover, her son had never been in the field since he was young. How could he know how to cultivate seedlings?

When he got closer, he saw Qin Lin, who was scattering seeds. He said anxiously, "Xiao Lin, you can't scatter seeds like this. You have to distribute them evenly. Otherwise, the soil won't be fertile enough and the seedlings won't grow well enough."

With that, she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants legs, and entered the field.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Qin Lin couldn't stop his mother in time. Her actions were too smooth.

"Woof!" Wang Cai also cried out excitedly. Seeing that Lin Fen had also gone down, he walked forward.

This time, Qin Lin was anxious. He hurriedly pointed at Wang Cai and shouted, "Don't come down."

"Woof!" Wang Cai thought that its master was calling it, so it pounced into the field excitedly and rolled over.

"…" Qin Lin's mind was filled with black lines.

When this dog was supposed to understand human language, it gave him this f*cking trick.

"Wang Cai, what are you doing in here?" Lin Fen was also anxious. She took two steps forward and patted Wang Cai's mud-covered head several times, chasing it up.

"Woof!" Wang Cai stood at the edge of the field and whined. It was obvious that it yearned for the mud inside.

Zhao Moqing, on the other hand, was taking photos of the dog. At this moment, the dog was too funny.

Lin Fen took the rice seeds from Qin Lin's hand and skillfully scattered them. Before her family moved to the county city, she and her deceased husband had always been farming by themselves. She was proficient in such small matters.

Qin Lin could only watch helplessly from the side. With nothing to do, he could only instruct Chen Dabei, "After that, build a fence around this field."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei immediately nodded.

The boss had personally arranged things. Those who weren't proactive were fools.

After they finally finished their work, Qin Lin and Lin Fen came out of the field and went to the hall to wash the dirt off their legs. They saw a girl dressed in fancy clothes walking while holding her phone. She shouted sweetly, "Family, today, I'll take you to see the most popular Triangular Plum Blossom Sea on the Internet. When you see the little squirrel inside later, remember to tip the little squirrel to buy pine nuts…"

"…" When Qin Lin saw this scene, he didn't need to guess to know that it was a small Internet celebrity who was here to check in and gain popularity.

Chen Dabei said, "Boss, our villa's Triangle Plum Blossom Sea has become even more popular on Douyin. Over the past two days, many such Internet celebrities have come to take advantage of the popularity."

"As long as it doesn't affect the tourists, we'll ignore them. This will also help maintain the popularity of our villa." Qin Lin knew that there was no way to put an end to such people who were trying to gain popularity. After all, this was the mainstream of the Internet nowadays.

Not to mention these people, after his Triangular Plum Blossom Sea became popular, all the places in the country that had Triangular Plum Blossom Sea rushed out to take a share of the profits.

Unfortunately, when his Qinglin Villa became popular, other than the few top-notch triangular sea of flowers in the country, the others who came in to freeload were really just cannon fodder. Instead, it made Qinglin Villa's triangular sea of flowers even more popular.

No matter how hard they tried, they could not produce those naturally meaningful and poetic promotional videos.

These days, the number of fans in his villa had increased to more than 300,000.

More importantly, the number of fans was increasing every day. After several years of publicity, the Hero Valley only had 900,000 fans. This was also the reason why the county was optimistic about his villa.

With just the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, many scenic spots would be envious of this rate of increase in fans.

At night, Zhao Moqing handed the statistics of the villa to Qin Lin and frowned. "Qin Lin, just the triangular sea of plum blossoms and the jungle adventure and slippery grass behind it seem to have exceeded the capacity of the villa."

Qin Lin took the data and frowned when he saw the number of visitors today. They had actually reached their limit so quickly.

Chapter 65

The number of tourists the villa received today had already exceeded 1,500, reaching 1,512. The tickets were sold for 76,050!

The Quality 1 okra, yam, and broccoli that he had taken out of the game were almost all sold out. They matured twice a day. The Quality 1 okra was 1,650 catties, the yam was 900 catties, and the broccoli was 750 catties. All of them were 15 yuan per catty, which made a total of 49,500 yuan.

1,250 catties of Quality 1 strawberries and 68 Quality 1 watermelon were all sold out. 11 Quality 2 watermelons were also sold, making a total of 82,920 yuan.

There was also a total of 23,650 yuan for renting fishing rods, stoves, grills, wild fish, slippery grass, jungle adventures, and so on.

In addition, the wholesale fruits and seafood from Lin Feng and Wang Wei had not only increased in the variety of fruits these days, but the number of all kinds of seafood had also been adjusted from 30 catties to 100 catties. The turnover had also reached 23,875 yuan.

Today, the villa's turnover reached 254,485 yuan.

Most of them were free sales produced by the game.

However, with a turnover of more than 250,000 yuan a day, each tourist only spent 160 yuan per person at the villa.

It was an extremely failed consumption.

Even if his family was in trouble and he had to work part-time to earn some money, taking Zhao Moqing on a short-distance trip would cost more than 160 yuan.

Therefore, the villa was really embarrassing in this aspect. After all, the villa's entertainment facilities and consumption projects could not keep up at all.

Now, the villa's ability to receive guests had reached its limit. Not only were the employees completely unable to serve the increase, but they also needed to continue recruiting. The density of the sea of flowers had also reached its limit.

Qin Lin said helplessly, "Moqing, use the villa's official Douyin number to send a notice. Tomorrow, the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea will only welcome 1,500 tourists. Then, please forgive us and promote the Youcheng County scenic area that is closer to us."

"Okay! I'll get Yaoyao to take a video later and edit it when I get back!" Zhao Moqing nodded and said worriedly, "This should make many tourists unhappy."

"That can't be helped!" Qin Lin said helplessly.

The fire was going too fast. The villa had no foundation. This was like most civilian Internet celebrities. They suddenly exploded in popularity and would go cold in an instant if they took too big a step.

The more time passed, the more he had to restrain himself. After all, the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea was a scenic spot. Once the density exceeded the capacity, there would be no viewing experience.

Zhao Moqing also knew this and went to find Gao Yaoyao to take a video. There was no choice. She and Qin Lin were the kinds of people who couldn't face the camera. They could only pull up Yaoyao, this pure and cute foreman, to be a strong man.

At night.

As soon as she returned home, Zhao Moqing sat in front of the computer and started editing and filming videos. He recommended looking for pictures at the Youcheng County scenic spots near the villa.

She was not very familiar with video editing. She felt that when it reached a certain scale, she would have to ask Qin Lin to hire a video editor. After all, the Douyin fans in this villa grew very quickly and went straight to 400,000.

Qin Lin cut a plate of block-shaped Quality 2 watermelon and brought it into the room. He picked up a piece with a toothpick and fed it to Zhao Moqing. "You've worked hard. Have a piece of watermelon."

Zhao Moqing opened his mouth and ate the watermelon. He said meaningfully, "My shoulders are very sore."

"I'll help you massage!" Qin Lin immediately understood and stretched out his hands to massage Zhao Moqing's shoulders.

"Woof!" The dog's voice sounded. It ran in and rested its head on Zhao Moqing's thigh, looking forward at the watermelon with a clear purpose.

Zhao Moqing stroked Wang Cai's head, picked up a toothpick and a watermelon, and fed it to Wang Cai.

"…" Qin Lin sighed silently when he saw this. He served his wife, and his wife served the dog.

He suddenly found his family position worrying.

After Zhao Moqing edited the video, he sent it out.

With the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea being a trending topic, it was very easy for the video posted by the official account of Qinglin Villa to be trending. Not long after, many people saw it.

The next day, when Qin Lin woke up, he realized that Zhao Moqing was already awake.

"You're up so early. Why don't you sleep more?" Qin Lin asked with a yawn.

Zhao Moqing said, "We sent a notice yesterday. Weren't you worried about being scolded?"

Qin Lin thought about it and agreed. After all, I wanted to come to your place to play, but you told me to limit the number of people. Everyone would have objections.

He also took out his phone to look at the video posted by the official account of the villa last night, but the situation that worried him did not appear. Instead, there were many good comments and various suggestions below the video:

"The owner of the villa has a sense of the big picture. The triangular plum blossom sea has a limited passenger volume. The villa doesn't have any additional projects. It's best to limit the number of tourists. Otherwise, it will affect the viewing."

"The boss still restricts visitors for the viewing pleasure of the tourists. At least he doesn't cut them up like leeks. He might not care about another scenic spot."

"I hope the villa can set a time so that we foreign tourists don't make a wasted trip!"

"Let's open up online bookings. We'll go after we get tickets. It won't be a wasted trip!"

"…"

"I don't think anyone scolded us!" Zhao Moqing said in surprise as he held his phone.

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded. He had thought that he would be scolded, but he felt that he could not keep up with the Internet.

However, there were quite a number of scenic spots that showed that there was no limit to the number of visitors to their scenic spots.

But it was good not to be scolded.

He looked at the mental screen. The crops were ripe. He controlled the game characters to pick the ripe crops and put them in storage, then planted new seeds.

Then, he controlled the game character to enter the mountains. The pure wild honey refreshed again. As expected, just like in the old version of the game, the wild honey refreshed almost every day.

That made him think of new moneymaking projects.

Besides, after searching the woods, there were three more nests of wild honey.

After plucking all the honey and putting it in the storage room, he got up and ate some of his mother's porridge before heading to the warehouse.

As soon as he reached the warehouse, he entered the game and headed for the storage room. The first thing he did was get to the container where the pure wild honey was stored.

90 catties yesterday and 90 catties today. Excluding the one catty he had brought out yesterday, there were already 179 catties of honey in the container.

Thinking about yesterday's honey water, he could totally start a honey water project at the villa and use the medicinal honey as a publicity stunt. Now, many scenic spots cost 20 yuan for a cup of milk tea. His honey water couldn't be worse than milk tea, right?

As he thought about it, Qin Lin had a plan.

After transporting the mature crops to the mountain villa in batches, he went to the supermarket and bought some large transparent containers to enter the game to store pure wild honey.

Youcheng County.

Chen Liyi also met a middle-aged man at the Tourism Bureau.

"Sun Xian, this is the information on the support fund for Qinglin Villa. According to the three projects we discussed, the funds might reach 23 million yuan. The most expensive should be the expansion projects like the bedroom accommodation and the restaurant. After that, it's the rafting project. The sea of flowers project is the lowest."

Sun Xian took the information and looked at it. He said, "Chief Chen, this time, a Qinglin Villa suddenly appeared in Youcheng County. We received a wave of online dividends and made up for it. As you know, we have developed many scenic areas, but they are relatively far from the county city. Tell me more about this villa."

Chen Li nodded and said, "It's very popular. I just don't know how popular it will become in the end. Currently, the villa should be receiving 1,000 tourists every day. It's just that the development of the villa is a long story. That's why I'm so anxious to invite you to a meeting to pass this fund support plan. With our help, the special fund will basically be put into use in a month."

"The key is that I discovered that Chen Shengfei of the Blue Ocean Corporation, Ma Liewen of the Hengyun Corporation, and the owner of the villa have a good relationship. There's still a possibility of developing a high-end customer base in this villa. I'll investigate this more."

These words clearly moved Sun Xian.

He knew about the Blue Ocean Corporation and the Hengyun Corporation.

If such a group could invest in Youcheng County, the impact would be huge.

There were still many things worth investing in Youcheng County, but small county cities couldn't attract investors.

As the two of them were talking, they saw the young man who had followed Chen Li walk in. "Chief Chen, you asked me to keep an eye on Qinglin Villa. The villa made an announcement last night that the flow limit has started today."

"Why is the flow limited?" Chen Li frowned.

With this kind of popularity now, he hoped the villa would make good use of it and not mess around.

The young man explained, "It seems that the number of customers at Qinglin Villa exceeded 1,500 yesterday. Their ability to accept customers is limited, so they had no choice but to limit the flow. They're too popular now. With just a triangular sea of plum blossoms, their official account has almost 400,000 followers."

"There were more than 1,500 people yesterday?" Chen Li was in disbelief. This was only 500 people away from the 2,000 people a day he had expected.

If not for the fact that the villa's facilities were too poor, it would not be difficult to reach 2,000 people.

The young man continued, "Although the traffic in Qinglin Villa is restricted, the video also promoted the nearby scenic spots in the county city."

"Boss Qin is really good at looking at the big picture." Chen Li couldn't help but look happy when he heard this news.

"Let's go to the meeting. I'll call the others." Sun Xian couldn't help but be moved. There were only so many scenic spots in the Hero Valley that the county had invested in.

Chapter 66

The large containers that Qin Lin had bought were all transparent jars with a capacity of 20 catties. After cleaning them, he stored all the pure wild honey in the game and sent it to the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, he moved the honey into the storage room behind the bar. Gao Yaoyao brought six people over.

The number of tourists at the villa had been increasing recently, and there were also recruitment notices posted in the villa.

He did not expect six to come today.

Four girls in their 20s and two middle-aged women.

"Boss, they're all here to apply for a job," Gao Yaoyao said as she approached.

Qin Lin also looked at the six of them. It was obvious that the four girls had not been in society for long. They still carried the hesitation and caution of job seekers.

He got the six of them to follow him to the side and took their information from Gao Yaoyao.

The four girls were naturally applying for service positions in the scenic area, and the two middle-aged women were applying for the job of cleaning ladies.

Then, he routinely asked the four girls questions that some recruiters would ask. For example, if they had any relevant work experience, why they had quit their previous job, or even if the four girls were single…

These questions seemed to be nonsense and were criticized by many people online. However, after becoming a real boss, he felt that these boring questions were actually reasonable.

Actually, the questions were not the key. It was just that one could at least preliminarily see the character of the applicant in these simple questions.

For example, if he asked the four girls if they were single, would he really care if they were single?

He wanted to see how the girls reacted to the question. After all, this was the travel service industry. If they weren't embarrassed by the question, weren't ashamed, weren't conflicted, and could answer with a calm smile, that meant their communication was good. They were definitely suitable for the service industry.

Or, for example, why had the applicant quit her last job?

Some people subconsciously complained that they couldn't do this or that in their previous job, or complained about their colleagues. No boss would like such people.

However, his villa was in the scenic service industry, so he did not have to be so particular about it. The most important thing was to see if the four girls were lively enough or not.

These questions were more or less obvious.

After all, one could not keep a straight face in front of tourists, right?

The four girls had lively personalities. It should be good for them to adapt to their jobs, so they all stayed.

He asked the two middle-aged women who had applied for the cleaning job again. He felt that there were no problems and let them stay.

After that, Qin Lin also took out six labor contracts to sign with the six of them. The probation period was a month. Then, he instructed Gao Yaoyao, "Lead the two sisters to Sister Hong's place and bring the four of them to get their work clothes. Before the tourists come, familiarize them with the environment."

Sister Hong was the manager of the villa's cleaning lady. It turned out that she was the cleaning lady of the Zhongliang Hotel in the county. She had resigned from the hotel because her daughter-in-law had given birth and was waiting on her.

"Alright!" Gao Yaoyao nodded and said to the six of them, "Follow me!"

After handing the newly recruited employee to Gao Yaoyao, Qin Lin also entered the bar and picked up the small jar of pure wild honey water from yesterday. Then, he took out a few empty glasses and started to put honey in them.

"Qin Lin, why are you making so much honey water?" Zhao Moqing walked in with Wang Cai.

Wang Cai seemed to smell honey. It swung its legs over the bar again and grinned at him.

Qin Lin pretended to fabricate, "The medicinal honey that I brought back yesterday is pretty good, right? Yesterday, I only tried to see if it tasted good. Coincidentally, I found another channel and can get a batch of medicinal honey every day. I want to start a medicinal honey water project in the villa. After all, our villa is also lacking in drinks. We only have canned coke and mineral water."

"Now I'm trying to match the amount to see what the proportion of the least medicinal honey can be put in a glass of water without affecting the taste or texture."

The Quality 2 wild honey produced by the game was good, but one could not expect a drop of honey to make a cup of water delicious. 100ml of water had to have a corresponding proportion.

As for how much, he would have to figure out the ratio.

Moreover, he would not sell the honey water of Quality 2 cheaply. After all, the effect was there.

"Qin Lin, I realize that you have the potential to be a profiteer!" Zhao Moqing teased. Then, she walked into the bar and said, "Let me help you."

She took the spoon from Qin Lin's hand and carefully put honey into the cup as if she was afraid of putting too much.

When Qin Lin saw this scene, he cursed in his heart. How could she call him a profiteer? This woman was even more unscrupulous than him.

However, this was how business was. As long as it did not affect the customer experience, they would definitely try their best to save as much as possible, especially when this thing was rare.

Before long, the two of them had found the optimal ratio. About 100ml water to 5g Quality 2 honey tasted best. It wasn't too sweet or too bland. The key was equally delicious.

"100 ML5 grams!" Qin Lin took out his calculator and started calculating.

Quality 2 was about 90 catties a day, which was 45,000 grams. The large plastic cup commonly used for milk tea was 700 Ml, which was 35 grams. That large cup of milk tea could make 1,286 cups.

This didn't seem to be enough. He was sure most people would buy it if they knew the effects of the honey water. Besides, many people would definitely drink a second cup after drinking it. They might even take one with them.

This was because in the past when he and Zhao Moqing traveled together with their classmates in university, it was mostly the same. When they encountered delicious food, they would eat a portion in the scenic area and come out to eat a portion. Some classmates even packed a few portions.

Zhao Moqing also asked, "Qin Lin, how much do you plan to sell this medicinal honey water for?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Those scenic spots dare to sell large cups of milk tea for 20 yuan a cup. My medicinal honey is a good thing. It's not too much to sell it for 100 yuan a cup, right?"

This was definitely not too much. After all, the wild honey produced by his game also had the additional effects of relieving fatigue, constipation, and chronic gastritis.

Zhao Moqing clicked his tongue when he heard a cup of 100 yuan. "Tourists who don't know will definitely be shocked by a cup of 100 yuan. Why don't we add some coconut into the honey water? At least it will make people feel that there's a lot."

"Yes, that's fine. We can add something cheaper and sell a few more cups." Qin Lin nodded. Coconut fruits weren't worth much, so they could be added. Tourists would think that he had a conscience.

With this, 1,286 cups could be converted to 1,500 cups. If one cup cost 100 yuan, that would be 150,000 yuan. After deducting costs and so on, that meant that a pound of honey could be sold for more than 1,600 yuan.

This had already exceeded the price of a lot of medicinal honey. It could be considered a luxury item.

Zhao Moqing was still a little worried. "It's 100 yuan a cup. It's scary just listening to it. Let's do some more publicity and also mark out the effects of this medicinal honey. It's best to hold a tasting session. Otherwise, with so many haters online, I'm afraid we'll be scolded to death."

"I'll listen to you." Qin Lin nodded. "It just so happens that the sales center can be activated. At the same time, we can also publicize the sales center. When the time comes, the medicinal honey water project will be placed in the sales center."

If a 100-yuan drink was not publicized, ordinary tourists who did not know would indeed find it difficult to accept. It was definitely possible to be scolded.

Therefore, publicity was still needed. Let's have a free trial drink!

"Woof, woof!" Wang Cai barked.

They turned and saw the dog leaning over the bar, staring at them as if to remind them that they had forgotten something.

"It's been waiting to drink honey water!" Zhao Moqing said with a smile.

Qin Lin also picked up a cup of honey water and poured it for the dog.

The dog grinned, showing its happy tongue.

Zhao Moqing smiled when she saw this. She was even more confident in Qin Lin's medicinal honey water project.

If the dog liked to drink it so much, what about humans?

Chapter 67

After making the plan, Qin Lin naturally had to implement it. After feeding Wang Cai honey water, he said to Zhao Moqing, "I'll go to the city to buy a few milk tea sealing machines and order a batch of special cups. At the same time, I'll get Qin Ren's studio to help make an advertisement for the medicine honey water and order some coconut fruits."

Zhao Moqing thought of something and said, "By the way, my brother is preparing to open a milk tea shop recently. He should have channels for coconut and milk tea plastic machines. I'll ask him directly."

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll handle the rest." Qin Lin nodded and took the small electric key on the table to leave.

Zhao Moqing stopped Qin Lin and handed him a BMW key. "Take my brother's car."

"You haven't returned the car?" Qin Lin asked.

Zhao Moqing explained, "My father still has a car. He can't drive it even if he goes to school. My brother will drive that car first. He said that it's inconvenient to drive it on a small electric vehicle. Let us use this car first."

"Thank my brother-in-law for me." Qin Lin could sense Zhao Moyun's good intentions.

Now that he was rich, it was time for him to buy a car. And the problem of the house had to be resolved.

It had been so many days since it opened, and there was already more than 1.5 million yuan in the villa's account.

When they reached the parking lot, Qin Lin drove his brother-in-law's BMW to Qin Ren's studio.

"Yo, the big boss is here," Qin Ren teased as soon as he saw him.

His other partners stood up enthusiastically to welcome him. After all, with the flow of people from Qinglin Villa, the other party would definitely have to cooperate with them in terms of advertising planning.

Hu Fei said very warmly, "What can I do for you today, President Qin?"

...

Qin Lin smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to instruct you, but I happen to need advertising plans for some products, such as okra, watermelon, strawberries, and so on. The most important thing is still medicinal honey water. I need about a 2-meter tall and 1-meter wide advertising cloth. You can help me add the content of the advertisement to relieve fatigue, slow gastritis, constipation…"

Qin Lin explained his request to Hu Fei.

At the side, Qin Ren suddenly said, "Lin Zi, does your medicine have an effect on constipation?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "It does have some effect. Are you constipated?"

Qin Ren hurriedly shook his head in denial. "How could I be constipated? It's a friend of mine. I'm asking for him."

Qin Lin and Hu Fei smiled when they heard this.

When Qin Ren saw their obvious looks of disbelief, he hurriedly changed the topic. "By the way, Lin Zi, you should find a custom-made milk tea cup, seal, straw, and so on to make this medicinal honey water, right? Our studio has two customers who do this. I'll help you pull up a WeChat group to contact them. Just let them bid for it. It'll save you the time of running around."

"You can do that?" Qin Lin asked in surprise.

He was just ordering some medicinal honey cups!

Qin Ren asked, "President Qin, have you not changed from your position yet? In a small place like Youcheng County, you can be considered a big boss, okay?"

"Who can do it like you, who has to limit traffic because there are too many customers? Which milk tea shop in Youcheng County can do it with just 1,500 customers?"

"How about consuming a thousand milk tea cups a day? The price for a set of three boutique cups plus LOG is about $2. They make a profit of $0.50. That's also $15,000 a month."

"Everyone knows that your villa will develop again. When the time comes, there will be more traffic and more consumption. In a small place like Youcheng County, you are a quality long-term customer. They would be fools not to go all out to snatch you as a client."

"This is reality. Only the parties involved know about the hardships of starting a company in a small place. Do you think it's a company that can easily negotiate millions or tens of millions of orders?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Alright, help me arrange it."

Qin Ren didn't waste any time. After a moment, he pulled Qin Lin into a group and pulled two more people in.

One was called Fuhai package!

One was called Xiao Chen package!

As soon as the two of them entered, they tagged Qin Ren and sent a message.

"What can I do for you, President Qin?"

"What are your orders, President Qin?"

Qin Ren didn't waste any time. He directly tagged Qin Lin and sent a message. "This is my brother, President Qin of Qinglin Villa. He wants to customize a batch of cups. Send him your prices."

As soon as Qin Ren's message was released, the two of them sent a price list over at the same time.

During this period of time, the most popular place in Youcheng County was Qinglin Villa. There was an endless stream of tourists every day. If the boss of Qinglin Villa wanted to customize a cup, he would definitely consume a lot of it every day. Furthermore, it was a long-term customer, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

It was very stressful to do business in a small place like Youcheng County.

Qin Ren looked at the price list and said to Qin Lin, "The price is already cheaper than before."

Qin Lin nodded.

The price lists they both handed out varied. The cheapest thin plastic cups were five cents each, the expensive ones were laminated and molded, and the PP-thickened hardcover large cups were custom-made and cost two yuan each.

Qin Lin wouldn't choose the cheap ones either. After all, he was taking the high-end route with the gimmick of medicinal honey water. Naturally, he chose the most expensive internal sticker mold, a thick hardcover cup with a PP, and a custom-made logo.

Both of them offered two yuan, which meant that the lowest price that the two families could afford was also here.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and sent a message to the group. "Make a physical image for me to see. Print the logo of Qinglin Villa — Medicinal Honey Water."

When the two people in the group saw this request, they did not hesitate and asked Qin Lin to wait for a while.

After a while, there was movement in the group again. The two of them had posted a video of a boutique cup. They had both printed the logo of Qinglin Villa's medicinal honey water and had the background color.

A small place like Youcheng County shouldn't expect the other party to have much of a custom-made logo. They were all about the same.

Qin Lin did not hesitate about this. It was fine as long as it could be used for the time being. However, he chose the Fuhai package at first glance.

The other party was smart enough to use the pattern of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea as the background.

Sometimes it was like that. A little shine could make people decide.

Qin Ren also said to Fu Hai, "Bring your sample to my studio. I'll make tea and wait for you."

"Thank you, President Qin," Fu Hai replied.

The other person had already stopped moving. When he saw the other party's sample, he knew that he had no chance. After all, he was not as smart as the other party.

The boss of Fuhai plastic packaging was called Zhang Shi. As soon as he saw Qin Lin, he said enthusiastically, "President Qin, thank you very much for choosing our Fuhai plastic packaging."

"President Zhang, you're too polite!" Qin Lin smiled and shook hands with the other party.

He could sense from the other party's attitude that he had some status in Youcheng County.

"President Qin, this is the sample!" Zhang Shi immediately took out the sample and handed it to Qin Lin. "It has been treated and disinfected. There's no problem with using it immediately."

Qin Lin took the sample and looked at it. He was quite satisfied, so he said, "President Zhang, according to this quality, I'll order 10,000 small, medium, and large cups first. However, I hope to get 3,000 tomorrow morning."

Zhang Shi immediately said, "Alright, I'll arrange for someone to work overtime immediately."

Qin Lin nodded. "Then let's sign the contract! The subsequent orders will depend on the usage of this batch first."

"President Qin, President Hu, may I borrow your studio printer?" Zhang Shi said to Qin Ren and Hu Fei happily.

This deal could be considered a negotiation. He believed that as long as he maintained the quality and quantity, he would definitely be able to cooperate with Qinglin Villa for a long time.

Hardcover cups with sealed mold, straw, small, medium, and large cost 1.4 to 2 yuan.

The total price of 30,000 cups was 50,000 yuan. The deposit was 20%. The delivery was 10,000 yuan.

A milk tea shop with such an average cost would definitely not be able to afford it. Only those brand chains and scenic spots could afford it.

After signing the contract with Zhang Shi, Qin Lin drove away and returned to the villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, he saw Chen Dabei coming out of the backyard of the hall. He must have just finished watering the watermelon seedlings.

He called the man over and asked, "What's the status of the watermelon seedlings?"

Chen Dabei immediately reported in surprise, "Boss, those watermelon seedlings have already begun to grow. They're growing too fast."

"It's already in the growing period?" Qin Lin was surprised.

Although this Quality 2 seed of seedless watermelon said that the growth period was extremely short, wasn't this growth speed too fast?

How long was this seed planted?

At this rate, it would become a watermelon in less than a month.

Chapter 68

The maturation period of watermelons was generally 85 to 95 days, which was about three months from planting the seeds to harvesting.

Now, many agricultural experts were also working on shortening the growth cycle of watermelons. There was also a technology that had made considerable progress that could reduce the ripening period of watermelons by half a month.

It seemed that the expert who developed this technology had also won some small agricultural awards.

Qin Lin was not familiar with this kind of thing, but looking at the watermelon seedlings that had already crawled out, if he could cultivate seeds, not to mention what quality the watermelons could maintain without the game land, shouldn't he be given a prize for this one month of maturity?

Beside him, the transplanted seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum potted plant did not die either. This was a good sign.

If this seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum could be successfully cultivated, although it was impossible for the transplanted potted plant to grow to the level of the triangular plum flowers in the sea of flowers and there was no game attribute enhancement, it would definitely be more beautiful than ordinary triangular plum.

When the time came, he could transplant the potted plants in bulk. They should be popular with many tourists.

"Boss, without a greenhouse, watermelons can really be planted." Chen Dabei said in a praising tone.

He had also been born in the countryside as a child, so he naturally knew that the temperature of watermelon planting had to be between 25 and 30 degrees. Otherwise, the seeds would hardly germinate. But now that winter had begun, everyone was wearing thicker long-sleeved clothes, and the temperature was already below that range.

As expected of a new breed.

If the game seeds could be planted in reality, there would be no problem with the first step. That would depend on the second step, which was to nurture seedless watermelon seeds of Quality 2 in reality.

Seedless watermelons did not have seeds and could not directly produce seeds. It was very troublesome to cultivate watermelon seeds through seedless watermelon seeds.

He was also looking at relevant knowledge these days. He had to first treat the seedlings of the Quality 2 seedless watermelon seeds taken out of the game with colchicine to make it multiply again. Then, he would pollinate it with ordinary watermelons during the flowering period… After several troublesome procedures, the watermelon that was replanted would produce seedless watermelon seeds.

Naturally, there were other genetic techniques. They were too esoteric and involved a lot of knowledge. He didn't delve too deeply into them. He couldn't understand them at all.

He could only nurture it according to the easiest method. Whether it succeeded or not depended on luck. If it really did not work, he would use a simpler organization to nurture it. There was no way to promote it on a large scale.

In other words, he still had to plant ordinary watermelon seeds.

It was winter, so ordinary watermelons would definitely have to rely on the greenhouse.

Moreover, he had to remember the blooming period of the seedless watermelon and ordinary watermelon so that he could control the time of pollination.

After all, watermelons only bloomed for two days. Some even bloomed in the morning and closed in the afternoon.

No matter how precious the seedless watermelons produced by the game were, they could only be cultivated after ordinary watermelons were planted.

As Qin Lin thought, he instructed Chen Dabei, "Help me clear out three acres of land. I want to build a greenhouse!"

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded.

When Qin Lin returned to the hall, he went online to contact the company related to the construction of the greenhouse and placed an order. The other party would send someone over to build it tomorrow.

Zhao Moqing walked in from outside with a bag of coconut in his hand. "Qin Lin, my brother contacted the coconut channel and the milk tea sealing machine. It's just that it will take time for the order to be delivered now. My brother said that we should use the milk tea sealing machine and coconut that he had originally prepared. We can use what we ordered after his milk tea shop is renovated."

"Thank my brother-in-law for me." Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

"Let's try the coconut honey water," Zhao Moqing said as she opened the coconut. She took out two spoons and placed them in a cup. Then, she took out the Quality 2 wild honey and soaked it in water. She placed a straw on it and handed it to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin took a few sips and said, "Not bad!"

The Quality 2 honey water produced by the game was very delicious, to begin with. However, this coconut was a little redundant. However, as long as the taste was not affected, they could sell more.

"In the afternoon, I'll get Yaoyao to cooperate and send a video to announce the new medicinal honey water on the official account," Zhao Moqing said as she held Qin Lin's hand. "Now, we should go back first. Mom is urging us to bring the ingredients for dinner back quickly."

"I'm ready!" Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

He had to entertain Zhao Moqing's parents at home at noon. Quality 2 items and some ordinary seafood were already prepared.

After entering the storage room behind the bar and taking out the things, Qin Lin said to Gao Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, take a look at the villa at noon. We'll go back first."

Gao Yaoyao was still young and capable. She was also a foreman now. If it wasn't a big deal, she could handle it.

Zhao Moqing drove Qin Lin home in his brother's BMW, then drove out again to pick up his parents in the East District.

After parking the car, she called her parents.

A moment later, Chen Xiao, Zhao Xianhong, Zhao Moyun, and Li Jiawen walked down together.

Li Jiawen immediately went up to her sister-in-law. "Moqing, I'm going to have lunch with your brother today. Don't lie to me. Is there really a big fish weighing more than 30 catties?"

Zhao Moqing teased, "Jiawen, you're just a little foodie. Why didn't you get fat!"

Li Jiawen said proudly, "I'm a natural beauty. I don't gain weight from eating."

"Yes, it's just that you complain every night that you've become heavier," Zhao Moyun teased, making Li Jiawen grit her teeth and look at her.

"Dad, Mom!" Zhao Moqing stepped forward and held their arms.

She felt more or less different now than she had before. Before, she had only been part of her parents' family. Now she had another home to take her parents to as guests in her own home.

"Hmph!" Chen Xiao snorted and pretended to ignore her daughter.

"Mom!" When Zhao Moqing saw this, she immediately acted like a little girl and wheedled with her mother.

Zhao Xianhong smiled and said, "Moqing, ignore your mother. She was still dressing up seriously up there just now. She was even afraid of embarrassing you!"

Chen Xiao rolled her eyes at her husband in dissatisfaction.

After they got into the car, Zhao Xianhong asked Zhao Moqing, "Did you invite your uncle-in-law today? You got into the tax bureau through his connections. If you resign, you have to treat him to a meal to thank him."

"I've already told him." Zhao Moqing nodded and said, "But Uncle said that there's a problem with another township enterprise. He's going to bring people for a closed review again."

"Yes, that's more important." Zhao Xianhong nodded.

After getting into the car, Chen Xiao, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Moqing, how's Qin Lin's villa now? I saw on the Internet that there are many guests in the villa."

"It's alright!" Zhao Moqing explained, "According to the previous statistics, the daily turnover has already exceeded 250,000 yuan."

"250,000 yuan a day?" Zhao Moyun suddenly said in surprise.

He knew that Qin Lin's villa was very popular now and had guessed his current turnover. However, he did not expect his turnover to be so high.

One had to know that his KTV's monthly turnover was only 400,000 yuan. Qin Lin's villa had already exceeded his monthly turnover in two days.

Moreover, because he was concerned about his sister, he had also checked the relevant information and knew that such popular scenic spots were also profitable.

In other words, his hard work for a month was not worth two days?

At this moment, Zhao Moqing said, "However, the turnover is temporary. We will launch a new product tomorrow. Moreover, the villa has a limited number of guests. From now on, we will restrict the reception of guests. When the villa develops a new project, we can receive more people."

"…" Zhao Moyun suddenly didn't want to speak anymore.

Zhao Moqing continued, "The county is also worried for Qin Lin. They're anxious to help him develop the project. It seems like they want to approve a support fund of more than 23 million yuan for Qin Lin to develop the villa."

"…" Zhao Moyun was completely silent.

He felt that his sister was super Versailles.

When Zhao Xianhong and Chen Xiao heard this, they could no longer remain calm. Chen Xiao sighed silently and felt a little embarrassed. If she had known that Qin Lin could become successful so quickly, why would she care about her daughter?

Zhao Xianhong seemed to sense his wife's emotions. He smiled and teased, "Is the son-in-law I chose for you alright?"

"…" Chen Xiao!

Zhao Moqing also smiled and said, "Mom, I've always said that Qin Lin is very outstanding, right?"

"…" Chen Xiao!

Did this husband and daughter not know how to read her mood?

Her daughter-in-law was still the best. She was quiet and considerate.

Li Jiawen suddenly teased, "Dad, Moqing, it's not like you don't know that Mom cares about her reputation. She will definitely refuse to answer this question."

"…" Chen Xiao! It seemed that no one in the family was easy to deal with.

Chapter 69

Zhao Moqing parked the car in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood was old and a little messy, but there were many parking spaces because most of them were rented out. The owners were unwilling to live in them, and even fewer could buy a car.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, let's go up!" Zhao Moqing closed the car door and led the family into a building.

The corridor was a little dim, and the environment was clearly not good.

When they arrived at Qin Lin's rented apartment, Zhao Moqing took out his key and opened the door. The interior was small and the environment was as bad as the outside.

In the past, when they saw such an environment, Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong would definitely wonder if their daughter would suffer. Now, they admired Qin Lin.

Without the help of her parents, her family owed so much money. It was admirable to be able to turn the tables so quickly in this environment, no matter the reason.

As long as one succeeded, the bitterness of the past would be the best foil, making success even more glorious. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many successful people who always liked to talk about their difficult past.

In the hall.

Qin Lin and Lin Fen were busy, and the dog beside them was quietly lying on a cushion in the corner.

Lin Fen had specially bought it to sleep.

Seeing that Zhao Moqing had arrived with his family, Qin Lin immediately went forward. "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, you're here. Come in quickly."

"Wow, there's a dog. Qin Lin, when did you have a dog?" Li Jiawen saw the dog as soon as she came in. She went forward in surprise and tried to touch Wang Cai's head.

...

But the dog clearly didn't want to acknowledge her. It cocked its head to one side.

The treatment was completely different from the first time it met Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen.

"…" Li Jiawen.

"In-laws, please sit down." Lin Fen was a little helpless at the side. After all, her son had done something unkind and secretly collected the marriage certificate without telling the other party.

After Chen Xiao, Zhao Xianhong, Zhao Moyun, and Li Jiawen sat down, Lin Fen said, "Um, I'll go cook."

Zhao Moqing pulled Lin Fen back and let her sit down. "Mom, Qin Lin and I will cook for you today. Just wait."

"Yes, Moqing and I personally made a table of delicacies today to thank you for giving birth to us and allowing us to meet." Qin Lin smiled and agreed, pulling Zhao Moqing into the kitchen.

The atmosphere outside was a little awkward.

Lin Fen was a little embarrassed. What her son had done was unkind. She was afraid of being blamed.

Chen Xiao was also a little embarrassed. In the past, she had often said in front of her daughter that she would suffer if she followed Qin Lin.

She glanced at her usually eloquent husband, son, and daughter-in-law, hoping the three of them would ease the awkwardness.

Zhao Xianhong, Zhao Moyun, and Li Jiawen were calm at this moment, waiting for Chen Xiao to perform. After all, she was in charge of this family.

Even the dog seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and looked up questioningly.

"Um, in-laws, do you watch TV?" As the host, Lin Fen spoke first. She took out the remote control and turned on the television.

As soon as the television was turned on, she heard two women pointing at each other and cursing. It was the melodrama that took place in the penthouse.

"In-law, you're watching this drama too?" Chen Xiao was surprised.

Lin Fen nodded. "Yes, now this killer looks like he's about to reveal something. I think Female 3 might be the killer."

Chen Xiao also nodded crazily. "I think so too. She's the most likely."

The two of them suddenly started chatting happily. They even sat next to each other, as if they had become super familiar with each other.

"…" Zhao Moyun!

"…" Zhao Xianhong!

When the two men saw the scene in front of them, even with their brains, they could not react.

Only Li Jiawen looked at the two of them and hesitated.

She also felt that Female 3 might be a bad person.

However, the two elders were chatting and it was a special day. It was not appropriate for her to interrupt.

She clearly wanted to participate. It was so uncomfortable to hold it in.

…

The rich aroma of rice was already wafting through the kitchen, intoxicating them.

Zhao Moqing asked in surprise, "It smells so good. Qin Lin, what special rice did you use today?"

"This is specially used to entertain our parents. No one can eat it even if they want to." Qin Lin smiled and avoided the question.

This was naturally Xiangshui Tribute Rice of Quality 2, taken from the game. It had the attributes of + rich nutrition +2, mellow +2, delicious +2, and vitamin VPP anti-aging +2.

In the past two days, he had gained a lot of Xiangshui Tribute Rice. He had saved a lot in the game, and he had also gained some Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice. He just didn't take out any of them.

This thing was not suitable to be taken out in large quantities.

After all, if they couldn't finish something that even most rich people couldn't eat, wouldn't it make people explode in anger?

Especially the Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice. That was even more heaven-defying. This thing could be kept for the family to eat. As for the Quality 1, other than keeping some, it could only be sold in the game.

Unless he could use game seeds to grow this kind of rice in Youcheng County, then he could take it out in large quantities.

Beside him, there was also a wild grass carp head of Quality 2 and a wild salmon of Quality 2.

It could be said that 90% of the rich in the country could not eat this meal even if they had money.

As for the ordinary seafood on the side, they were just accessories.

"Cut the watermelon and bring it out to them with the strawberries. I'll cook," Zhao Moqing said as she picked up the grass carp head beside him and prepared to make fish head soup.

Her cooking skills couldn't be compared to a real chef's, but she had no problem cooking at home. Besides, the ingredients were good. As long as she knew how to cook, it would definitely taste good under the attributes of delicious +2 and taste +2.

Qin Lin also picked up a watermelon and cut it. Then, he brought out the washed Quality 2 strawberries.

When he arrived at the hall, he saw Lin Fen and Chen Xiao sitting together and chatting happily. He was clearly stunned.

When had his mother and mother-in-law become so close?

As soon as the Quality 2 watermelons and strawberries were served, Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen were attracted.

The two of them had eaten that special quality watermelon and strawberry at the villa.

Li Jiawen picked up a strawberry and placed it in her mouth. The deliciousness immediately spread in her mouth. It was still as delicious as before.

Zhao Moyun also picked up a piece of watermelon and tasted it.

He had eaten it once last time and was still thinking about the deliciousness of this watermelon.

Lin Fen also said to Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong, "In-laws, try it too. This is a special variety of watermelon and strawberries sold in Xiao Lin's villa. It's very delicious."

As he spoke, he personally handed the couple watermelons and strawberries.

The couple tried it when they heard Lin Fen say that. Then they both looked surprised. It was really very delicious.

They had eaten many watermelons and strawberries in the past, but none of them could compare to this.

Not long after.

The meal was ready.

When Lin Fen invited the family to sit down, Qin Lin also came out with a rice pot. As soon as he opened it, the fragrance of the rice in the pot wafted.

The dog rose instinctively to its feet at the smell of this mellow aroma.

"Why is this rice so fragrant?" Li Jiawen asked in surprise.

As a foodie, she was curious.

"It's the Xiangshui Tribute Rice. I was lucky enough to buy some," Qin Lin explained half-heartedly.

"Xiangshui Tribute Rice? I've never heard of it. It seems very impressive." Li Jiawen took out her phone and searched for it curiously. Just the name alone aroused her curiosity.

But when she saw the row of messages that popped up, she was dumbfounded. "Isn't this rice too awesome?"

She had learned a lot today.

Royal rice was rare and even the rich could not buy it. It had once been sold for 10,000 yuan…

The news was all too shocking.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Moyun asked curiously when he saw his wife's expression.

Li Jiawen said nothing and showed him the phone.

"F*ck…" Zhao Moyun cursed. He did not know that there was such expensive rice.

No wonder it was called tribute rice.

Damn it, he opened a KTV and a milk tea shop. He should be considered one of the best among the young people in their 20s, right? But when he saw this information, he felt like he could not afford to eat rice.

"You're shouting and being rude." Zhao Xianhong was a teacher and cared a lot about etiquette.

Zhao Moyun did not explain and handed the phone to his father.

Zhao Xianhong looked at Xiangshui Tribute Rice's introduction and then was not calm either.

What the hell…

"In-law, try this rice." Lin Fen was very close to Chen Xiao now. She picked up a bowl of rice and handed it to Chen Xiao. "The rice Xiao Lin brought back is very delicious. I can eat it even without the side dishes."

When Chen Xiao heard this, she took the bowl and took a bite curiously. However, in an instant, the mellow fragrance overflowed in her mouth. The texture and deliciousness made her say, "This rice is really delicious. Where did you buy this rice? Our family will buy dozens of catties tomorrow."

"…" Zhao Xianhong.

"…" Zhao Moyun.

"…" Li Jiawen.

The three of them looked at Chen Xiao.

Dozens of catties?

Did she think this was cabbage?

Chapter 70

Chen Xiao noticed the strange gazes of his husband, son, and daughter-in-law and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Xianhong did not think that his wife did not know anything. He handed her the phone and looked at it. After all, he did not know the actual situation of the rice either.

However, Chen Xiao's face turned red when she saw the contents of the phone.

They could not buy this rice at all. Fortunately, she had only said that in front of her family. It would be so embarrassing if there were outsiders.

She returned the phone as if nothing had happened and immediately changed the topic to praise Qin Lin. "Qin Lin is really capable now. The villa is doing well. It's all thanks to him that we can eat such rice…"

When Lin Fen heard Chen Xiao praise her son, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her in-law did not blame her son for what he had done. She immediately praised Zhao Moqing. "Xiao Lin is a brat. It's his blessing to be able to marry such a gentle and virtuous girl like our Moqing."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "My daughter isn't as good as you say. She's very delicate. Qin Lin is still the best…"

Lin Fen also shook her head and said, "No, there are really too few good girls like Moqing now…"

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen looked at each other. To be honest, the two of them were a little envious. When they were engaged, the parents of both parties didn't praise each other like this.

Zhao Moqing came out with the wild fish head soup. When he heard Chen Xiao and Lin Fen's words, he was delighted.

What woman didn't want her mother-in-law and mother to get along? The two families were harmonious.

After putting down the fish head soup, she said to Qin Lin, "Help me serve the dishes."

"Okay!" Qin Lin entered the kitchen together.

...

Lin Fen picked up an empty bowl and gave Chen Xiao a bowl of fish soup and a piece of tender meat. "In-law, try this fish soup. It's a wild big product and is usually very rare."

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen had been to the villa and seen the big fish in the hall. They also knew that this kind of big fish cost 280 yuan per catty. The key was that it really cost 280 yuan per catty. It was really impossible to buy it outside.

Therefore, after the three elders got a bowl of fish soup, the couple quickly got a bowl for themselves. They had just swallowed it when they could not help but continue taking a second mouthful.

It was a classic!

It was indeed a big item that they could not buy even if they wanted to.

Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong were also shocked.

People in their teens usually only ate home-cooked food or went to restaurants or banquets. They had never eaten such delicious fish.

Or maybe they hadn't even thought about fish being this good.

They used to hear about delicacies.

This was probably it, wasn't it?

Soon the big wild salmon cargo was brought out.

After the meal, everyone felt comfortable all over. As time passed, the fish meat was digested in their bodies, and there was a warm current flowing in their bodies. It was very comfortable.

"Not only is this fish delicious, but did you also put in some medicinal herbs?" Zhao Moyun couldn't help but ask. The feeling of comfort was indescribable.

Li Jiawen also held Zhao Moqing's arm and said enviously, "Moqing, I'm so envious of you. In the future, I'll always be able to eat such delicious food. I've decided to come to your house often to freeload. You can't despise me."

The first time the two sides met for dinner was very pleasant.

After that, Zhao Moqing was responsible for sending the family back to the East District.

Qin Lin prepared 5 catties of Xiangshui Tribute Rice and two wild goods for Zhao Moyun to bring back. He didn't give too much for fear of startling Zhao Moqing's family.

When they arrived at the East District, Zhao Moqing stopped the car and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, I won't go up with you. Qinglin Villa is going to launch a new product tomorrow. We still have to organize the sales center and promote the new product in the afternoon. I'll go back and fetch him to the villa."

Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Also, don't throw a tantrum with Qin Lin. Where can you find such a good son-in-law?"

"Yes, Mom, I know," Zhao Moqing replied sweetly. Now, she finally didn't have to listen to her mother telling her to guard against Qin Lin.

It was too awesome.

Chen Xiao also let her son and husband carry the rice and two wild goods upstairs.

When she arrived at the door, she saw a neighbor coming down. "Chen Xiao, did you guys come back from outside? What a big fish. Is this wild?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, they're all wild!"

The neighbor was surprised. "It's amazing how big a wild fish is. You can't get it outside, can you? Where did you get it?"

Chen Xiao said proudly, "Of course not. This is from my son-in-law."

"Son-in-law?" The neighbor asked in confusion, "Is Moqing married? I didn't see any news from your family!"

Chen Xiao hurriedly explained, "They're not like us. They registered their marriage first and found a chance to get married later. By the way, the recently popular Qinglin Villa is owned by my son-in-law."

Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen watched from the side as Chen Xiao suddenly became a show-off.

Who would have thought that they had to guard against Qin Lin before this? If Moqing came home a little later, Chen Xiao would call her, afraid that the two of them would mess around. From the looks of it, Chen Xiao probably couldn't wait for the two of them to mess around now.

…

After Zhao Moqing picked up Qin Lin, he did not go straight to the villa. Instead, he went to the largest car shop. He planned to order a car first and take a look at the house when he had time.

Both parents had met, and the house and car should be ready.

There weren't any 4S stores in Youcheng County, and the car dealerships were all integrated services, but he could order any car. They would run the 4S store for you and pull the car to Youcheng County.

Chapter 71

The car owner's surname was Chu. Qin Lin had already thought of the car he wanted to book. It was a BMW 5 Series and a blue truck.

His brother-in-law's BMW 5 Series was very comfortable to drive. He did not know much about cars, so he chose the BMW 5 Series. The blue truck was naturally meant to transport goods, and it was time for the three-wheeled truck to be eliminated.

After booking the car, he and Zhao Moqing took the contract to the villa.

As soon as they arrived at the villa, Qin Lin asked Chen Dabei to bring the two of them to the sales center with the milk tea sealing machine he had taken from Zhao Moyun. There was also honey.

He could use the plastic cup directly when it was delivered tomorrow morning.

Zhao Moqing found Gao Yaoyao and asked her to help film the promotional video for the new medicine. Zhao Moqing had already written the lines.

In the evening.

Qin Ren and Hu Fei arrived at the villa and sent over the advertising cloth and all the promotional materials he needed.

The advertising cloth was upright and needed to be erected. Hu Fei and Qin Ren personally went to install it.

After installing it, Qin Ren asked, "Lin Zi, come and take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Qin Lin went forward to take a look.

The advertising cloth was basically made according to his requirements. First, it was a summary of medicinal honey. His wild honey could only be used as medicinal honey publicity.

This introduction only needed to let people know that medicinal honey was rare. The following effects were the most important:

...

Firstly, it had a very good texture and tasted even more delicious. Secondly, it had the effect of relieving fatigue, treating chronic gastritis, and treating constipation.

When Qin Lin saw the end, he was stunned. "You placed constipation at the end and even specially increased the number. You guys are so knowledgeable!"

"He did all this!" Hu Fei pointed at Qin Ren.

Qin Ren explained, "Lin Zi, you have to know that among these effects, constipation is the most uncomfortable. That feeling is worse than death. It has to be especially striking."

"Oh, looks like you have a deep understanding of constipation. Are you constipated?" Qin Lin looked at Qin Ren strangely.

"No…" Qin Ren subconsciously wanted to answer, but then he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly corrected himself. "How is that possible? I heard this from my constipated friend. He complained that it was very painful."

Qin Lin teased, "Do you want a cup of wild medicinal honey water? It's really effective."

"Yes!" Qin Ren replied decisively.

"I'll make it for you!" Qin Lin said with a smile.

...

"Hello, everyone. I'm Gao Yaoyao from Qinglin Villa. First of all, welcome to our villa. Our villa has launched a new beverage: Medicinal Honey. Medicinal Honey is premium honey with special medicinal effects. It has…"

"300ml small cup of medicinal honey water is priced at 45 yuan, 500ml medium is 75 yuan, 700ml large cup is 100 yuan per cup."

"To thank everyone for their continued support of the villa, our boss has decided to treat visitors tomorrow to a free taste of the Medicinal Honey."

"There's a limited amount. For the time being, there are 1,500 large cups of honey water. When the time comes, tourists can rely on the receipt spent at the villa or the tickets to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea to collect them from the villa's sales center…""Please reading on "

There were many lines, but Gao Yaoyao passed in one go. Her expression was natural and her sweet smile made people feel comfortable.

Moreover, Qin Lin only planned to take out 90 catties of honey from his inventory and save the rest for emergencies.

Zhao Moqing also edited the video slightly and chose to post it on Douyin.

The villa was still popular. The videos taken by the tourists in the sea of flowers did not decrease every day, especially the videos taken by the beautiful tourists. With their beautiful looks and meaningful videos in the sea of flowers, it was very easy to become popular.

This kept increasing the popularity of Qinglin Villa, making it even more popular.

Therefore, with this popularity, Zhao Moqing's official video quickly became popular. The people backstage also received likes and comments.

"Miss, you're so pure and cute. What's your account…"

This was clearly an old lecherous comment.

Naturally, many people were also attracted by the wild medicinal honey topic of the video itself.

"What's wild medicinal honey water? Isn't that too damn expensive? 100 yuan for a 750 ML cup?"

"100 yuan for a drink. Makes me think of some comic book show harvesting tourists, 50 yuan for a glass of lemonade."

"F*ck, is it an expensive drink?"

"…"

There were questioning voices, and naturally, there were curious voices:

"The price isn't important. What I care about is the efficacy of this medicinal honey water. Is it real?"

"Is it really effective in treating constipation? To be honest, I have a friend with severe constipation."

"The friend upstairs is me. I've been constipated for days. I'm going to buy a ticket now."

"I'm from Youcheng County. My friend is constipated too. I'll be sure to collect one for him tomorrow."

"…"

Under the original popularity of the villa, the wild medicinal honey had turned into fire and water in a short period of time. Be it those who questioned or those who were curious, adding a single comment or like would increase the popularity of this topic.

And this popularity reached its peak when a witness account appeared at night.

It was actually a video sent by an old physician professor who had certified the account of a certain tertiary hospital in the province:

"First, let me introduce you to the medicinal honey. This is high-quality honey. Honey itself has medicinal effects, but some honey is less effective. Some are more effective. Some of the more effective ones are also called medicinal honey. Another is… Our hospital has a lot of high-quality honey. High-quality honey of this level is not cheap. The cheaper ones cost more than 500 yuan per catty."

"However, there are too many fake medicinal honey on the market. Ordinary people won't be able to differentiate them easily. If the medicinal honey effect of Qinglin Villa is real, I can only say that the owner of the villa is generous. If we have to throw away tens of thousands of yuan for a free trial drink, the constipated tourists will be blessed."

"So, don't be in a hurry to question it. Since the villa is holding a free tasting, why don't everyone look forward to it?"

Once this video was released, it was equivalent to an official statement, causing the previous discussions to turn into anticipation for this medicinal honey water.

Even the certified old professor had said so. It was always right to let the bullet fly a little longer. Whether it was true or not, it would be clear tomorrow after they tried the medicinal honey water.

Because 1,500 large cups of medicinal honey water were free to try, the owner of the villa couldn't possibly find 1,500 shills, right?

Moreover, such high-grade medicinal honey water and a big cup of 100 yuan made people eager to try it.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing were also very surprised when they saw the old professor's video.

This video was clearly beneficial to the villa.

But why would a professor certified by a tertiary hospital help him?

It was only when he saw the old man that he recognized him. It was the old man who had brought his granddaughter that day. His granddaughter had chronic gastritis and asked for two cups of medicinal honey water.

He did not expect the other party to have such an identity.

It seemed like it was really convenient for him.

Chapter 72

After a night, because of the recent popularity of Qinglin Villa, there were also many people paying attention to the medicinal honey water.

Many people were curious if the wild medicinal honey water of Qinglin Villa really had such an effect.

Early in the morning, Qin Lin had just moved everything from the game to the villa. Many tourists had arrived early. Some of them even looked pale and ugly. They were obviously constipated.

Previously, when tourists came to the villa, the first thing they would do was to buy tickets at the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea and then enter the Sea of Flowers. This time, after the tourists bought tickets to the Sea of Flowers, they swarmed toward the already open sales center.

The sales center was not far from the reception hall, visible as soon as they entered the villa.

Three sealing machines had already been set up on the most prominent sales counter in the sales lobby. There was also wild honey from the game, as well as custom-made boutique cups delivered by coconut fruit and Fuhai plastic.

Gao Yaoyao was also waiting with three waiters.

Tourists could also see the advertising cloth at a glance and gathered around. Someone asked, "How do you get wild honey water for free?"

Gao Yaoyao immediately explained, "Everyone, line up first. When you receive the tickets, just show us the receipt or the tickets to the Sea of Flowers."

Upon hearing this, a tourist immediately handed the tickets to Gao Yaoyao.

Gao Yaoyao also took out a special tool and made a hole in the ticket. She then returned the ticket to the other party so that she wouldn't have to collect it again.

Don't expect others to be self-aware. There were many people who are greedy for small gains.

The three waiters also began to move. Honey was put in, coconut was put in, water was poured, and the lid was molded and shaken evenly. Then, along with straws, it was given to the recipient.

...

In a moment, this batch of tourists received the medicinal honey water for free.

After last night's popularity, these people came with curiosity and anticipation. When they received the medicinal honey water for free, they immediately inserted a straw and drank it.

Putting aside the effects, under the attributes of texture +2 and delicacy +2, these tourists were clearly attracted to the taste.

"Isn't this medicinal honey too delicious? I thought medicinal honey was bitter."

"Yes, it tastes too good."

"Not to mention the effect, just the taste alone is definitely stronger than any drink I've had in the scenic area."

"I agree! Have you noticed that after drinking this honey water, you feel slightly refreshed?"

"Indeed. I thought it was an illusion."

This was naturally the effect of relieving fatigue +2.

Apparently, whatever the effects of the medicinal honey, these tourists had been drawn to its deliciousness.

Then, a tourist thought of something and took out his phone to take a photo of the medicinal honey water in his hand. "I've successfully checked in. I received the free medicinal honey water from Qinglin Villa. I just drank it. I don't know how effective it is, but the taste is absolutely perfect. It's too delicious."

The other tourists also reacted and took out their phones to take videos. They all said that it was delicious and that they were intoxicated because it was easy to ride on the popularity of Qinglin Villa now.

If it wasn't to gain popularity, they wouldn't be the first to rush over.

Indeed, Qinglin Villa was still under the heat of blowing up the traffic pool. Tourists swarmed to post videos, and there were always people who could ride on the popularity.

As more tourists arrived, there were more such videos.

The already hot medicinal honey water attracted attention again.

"F*ck, do I need to be so intoxicated?"

"Is it that good?"

"Don't tell me I've misunderstood? Medicinal honey isn't the medicinal smell I imagined."

"…"

…

On the train, Zhao Qianqian frowned at the view.

She didn't look too good. Anyone who was constipated wouldn't feel very comfortable either.

She clearly wanted to defecate, but she couldn't.

She wanted to go to the hospital, but she thought it was a waste of time to register. She thought of what her best friend had said about constipation. The doctor had even suggested that she do a colonoscopy. She wasn't in the mood to go to the hospital and just found a neighborhood clinic to take a look first.

The clinic doctor prescribed medication and suggested a little honey water.

She also went online to check. The honey water did have some effect on constipation, but it didn't have much effect when she drank it yesterday. Therefore, when she saw the medicinal honey water in Qinglin Villa last night, she took the train from the city early in the morning.

She scrolled through Douyin in the car and quickly saw the video of Qinglin Villa's medicinal honey water released by the tourists. However, if these tourists wanted to ride on the popularity, so be it. Did they need to describe it so well?

It was as if no one else had drunk medicinal honey before.

Soon.

The car arrived at Youcheng Station.

Zhao Qianqian left the train station and got into a taxi at the taxi stand.

"Miss, are we going to Qinglin Villa?" the driver asked as soon as she got into the car.

"How did you know, Master?" Zhao Qianqian was surprised.

The driver explained with a smile, "There's been a lot of moving cars recently. Girls like you who don't bring any luggage and only carry a bag usually go to Qinglin Villa. Most of the time, we can drag someone to the villa and bring someone back to the station. We don't have empty cars. Now, we earn much more than before."

"In the past, we used to compete with online cabs for customers. Now, we're too lazy to do so. During rush hour, we can't even finish taking orders from Qinglin Villa."

Zhao Qianqian was surprised. A villa scenic spot had improved the conflict between Youcheng County taxis and online taxis?

However, she did not know that this was only one aspect of the influence that Qinglin Villa had on Youcheng County.

When she got out of the car at Qinglin Villa, Zhao Qianqian realized that there were already many people in the villa.

Inside, she also saw the sales center mentioned in the villa video last night.

Zhao Qianqian followed the signs to the sales hall of the Sea of Flowers tickets. After buying the tickets, she went back to the sales center.

The busboy wasn't surprised, either. Today's customers had been drawn to the honey water.

Zhao Qianqian quickly lined up at the end of a line, and surprised voices kept coming from inside.

"It was really good. I drank half a glass and I felt much better."

"I've never tasted honey water so good."

"Indeed. The taste is truly amazing."

"…"

Zhao Qianqian looked at those people and did not see any pretense at all. They were all revealing their true feelings.

One or two of them might be fake, but all of them expressed that the medicinal honey water in the villa was really delicious.

Zhao Qianqian was looking forward to it. No matter how effective the honey water was for constipation, it should taste good.

After some time in the queue, it was finally Zhao Qianqian's turn. She used her ticket to collect a cup for free and couldn't wait to insert the straw. She had only taken a few sips when her eyes lit up.

It was really good.

Miraculously, it was always difficult to travel by train and taxi all the way, but after drinking the honey water, she felt inexplicably more energetic.

This medicinal honey water was a little expensive, but with this smell, if it could still be effective for constipation, it would definitely be worth it.

Zhao Qianqian walked towards the Sea of Flowers. As she drank the honey water and checked her ticket, she entered the Sea of Flowers and realized that the tourists around her were also discussing the medicinal honey water in their hands.

After entering the Sea of Flowers, Zhao Qianqian's mood improved.

As they walked, the beautiful scenery intoxicated her, and she forgot her constipated anxiety.

Especially when she reached the Triangular Sea of Plum Blossoms in the middle, the beautiful scenery and cute squirrels made her feel good. She couldn't help but take out her phone to take a selfie.

Zhao Qianqian only left the Sea of Flowers after satisfying her desire to take selfies. However, the moment she left, she felt a sense of discharge. This made her immediately head to the toilet in the villa.

Zhao Qianqian immediately ran into the female toilet and found a cubicle to close the door. Then, a comfortable voice sounded.

A moment later, she emerged, beaming.

It actually worked.

But when she came out, she was dumbfounded.

There was actually a queue outside the toilet.

Fortunately, she wasn't suffering from diarrhea. Otherwise, with so many people queuing up, that scene…

However, this medicinal honey water actually worked.

She couldn't resist taking out her phone to take a video. She had to tell everyone that the medicinal honey water was effective and share it with the other constipated sufferers.

Chapter 73

Qinglin Villa became popular again. If it was because of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea's popularity before, it was because of the constipation topic this time.

After the announcement of the special medicinal honey water at Qinglin Villa, the price and effect of this medicinal honey water had already caused a sensation online.

The price could be said to be very expensive.

At first, many people thought that even if it was a scenic area, the price of the medicinal honey water was too exaggerated.

However, after that certified medical professor became popularized, everyone finally knew what medicinal honey was. What they were conflicted about was not the price but whether the medicinal honey was real or fake.

If it really was medicinal honey, there was no doubt about the price.

And now, there was no doubt that Douyin had been flooded by Qinglin Villa again a few hours ago.

He could almost see the video about the medicinal honey water in Qinglin Villa with just a few videos. Almost all the tourists who went were praising the medicinal honey water.

In addition, the effect of treating constipation had been confirmed. The video of the long line outside the toilet explained everything.

That scene was really…

This was what amazed people. This was really the effect.

It had to be known that the best aloe capsules and laxative capsules in the world would take about six hours to take effect according to one's physique.

However, drinking this medicinal honey water for less than two hours was definitely effective.

Therefore, no one questioned the price of medicinal honey water anymore. What they were conflicted about was how to drink it. After all, the medicinal honey water was limited, and Qinglin Villa also had a limited supply.

For a moment, many people on the Internet said that they had a channel or source of medicinal honey water. As for whether it was true or not, no one knew.

...

In Qinglin Villa, two wonders could be seen today. One was the long line in the front row of the sales center, and the other was the long line in front of the toilet.

When Chen Li arrived, he was stunned by this scene. He said to the young man beside him, "Zhong Lei, it seems that we don't have to worry about how to maintain the popularity of Qinglin Villa for the time being."

Zhong Lei smiled and said, "The heat of this medicinal honey water is too hot now. There are even bored people who want to do a Youcheng County public toilet strategy. Don't make things difficult for the toilet in the villa."

Chen Li smiled knowingly when he heard this. This meant that the villa had become popular again. It was a good thing.

Yesterday, in addition to the approval of the Qinglin Villa Support Fund, the county also made a data report. Because of the tourists from Qinglin Villa, Youcheng County had already been affected in many aspects.

Especially hotels, snack bars, car trips, and so on.

Naturally, there were also some problems. For example, traffic. The exit of the villa was located at the intersection of Sand City, the city, and Youcheng County. Now that online taxis and taxis were converging there, it was easy to get into accidents.

Therefore, while the approval was given to the villa, the county was also hesitating about whether to build a special passage from Youcheng County to Qinglin Villa. They even asked the bus company to add more shifts for this route.

Given the current popularity of the villa, this was necessary. It would be of great benefit to both Youcheng County and the villa.

Chen Li was not in a hurry to find Qin Lin. Instead, he brought Zhong Lei to the sales center. Apart from the support fund, they also wanted to see the sales center.

This sales center was already the size of a medium-sized supermarket.

They entered the sales center, which was divided into areas. There were vegetable areas, fruit areas, and seafood areas. There were already some tourists choosing ingredients to cook for themselves at the mountain villa at noon.

A special-quality product area did attract his attention. And there were clearly more tourists in the area.

Chen Li walked over to take a look and realized that there were actually introduction cards erected in this area that introduced those products.

"Special variety of okra, a specially cultivated okra. It has more beneficial effects than the ordinary okra on the market… It has a stronger effect on the lactation, general circulation, and filling of the kidneys. It costs 15 yuan per catty!"

This was naturally a Quality 1 okra.

A couple of tourists were already there, selecting okra.

"The Internet says that the special variety of okra in this villa is very effective. It's not easy for me to take time off to play. I'll make you more."

"It's a pity that the villa doesn't serve the kind that costs 400 yuan a catty anymore. Otherwise, I would have to take a leave of absence to play."

The male tourist looked at his date suggestively as he spoke.

Chen Li led his men to look at the other products in the special products area. There were also introduction cards.

The sales center was already starting to take shape.

It was just that most of the areas were empty. For now, with more than 1,500 customers, these things were a little small.

"Let's go see Boss Qin!" Chen Li said and left the sales center. When he saw Qin Lin in the hall, he said with a smile, "Boss Qin, congratulations. The villa has successfully launched another consumer project."

"Chief Chen, sit here!" Qin Lin immediately shook hands with Chen Li. He didn't forget to instruct Chen Dabei, "Make two cups of medicinal honey water and cut a special watermelon."

After Chen Li sat down, he handed a document to Qin Lin and said, "Boss Qin, I'm here today to tell you a piece of good news. The support fund has been approved by the county. Moreover, the project has already been contacted. After the contract is signed, the project can be developed as quickly as possible. Take a look at the information contract."

Qin Lin nodded and took the contract. Just as he was about to look at it, Chen Dabei also came over with watermelon and two cups of medicinal honey.

Qin Lin immediately introduced, "Chief Chen, try this villa's special watermelon and this medicinal honey water."

Chen Li did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the medicinal honey water and inserted the straw.

It was also his duty to inspect the consumer projects in the scenic area. He had to try it out so that he could answer questions about this in the future.

After taking a few big gulps, Chen Li said sincerely, "Boss Qin, I finally know why your medicinal honey water became popular. This taste is really good. Coupled with the special effects, there's no reason it won't become popular."

Zhong Lei nodded in agreement. After drinking it, he realized that the rumors online were not exaggerated.

Unfortunately, the price of this medicinal honey was too expensive and the production was small. Their tourism bureau had also done an investigation last night and could buy some medicinal honey regularly. However, there was not enough traffic and fame. This project really could not be as easy to get as Qinglin Villa.

The key was that Qinglin Villa had succeeded, so there was no need for them to do anything else. Otherwise, if there was an internal conflict, it would be detrimental to Youcheng County.

The two of them picked up the watermelon and ate it again. Then, they looked at each other.

Watermelons were probably one of the fruits that everyone came into contact with the most. Many fruit farmers in Youcheng County planted watermelons every year, but the key was that these watermelons were really too delicious, right?

It was difficult for them to describe the taste. One thing was certain, they had never eaten such delicious watermelons.

Chen Li sighed and said, "No wonder it costs 100 yuan a catty. This taste is really amazing. Boss Qin, where did you get this melon?"

When Qin Lin heard this question, it was really difficult to explain.

This was a game product, so he definitely couldn't say it.

Moreover, sooner or later, someone would ask this question and it would be noticed. Fortunately, he had a solution. He smiled and said, "Director Chen, this is a new variety of melon. It's still being cultivated for the time being. Therefore, the villa can't supply it now. If this watermelon seed can be cultivated, not only will the villa be able to supply it in large quantities, but even the people in the county should be able to grow this watermelon."

Didn't he specifically try to plant game seeds to deal with this situation?

If the county knew that he could really cultivate a game watermelon seed, they would probably ask if the watermelon could be promoted to the entire county. How much benefit would that be for the entire county?

When Chen Li heard Qin Lin's words, he did not think too much about it and did not probe further.

Then it would be impolite. It might give the other party a particularly bad impression. It would not be conducive to further cooperation.

However, he felt that there was something special about Boss Qin's words.

Chapter 74

Chen Li quickly returned to the topic. "Boss Qin, let's get down to business. Look at the terms of the support fund agreement."

Qin Lin nodded and took the document from Chen Li.

The terms of the contract agreement plus the information and additional introductions were more than a dozen pages long.

After taking a look at the terms, the results were the same as in the previous discussion. The county supported the expansion of the villa, the bridal chamber, and the 100 acres of a comprehensive sea of flowers. The total support fund reached more than 23 million yuan.

When the time came, the villa would especially apply for a bank card. The funds would be placed in this card and the people from the county's Financial Bureau would monitor every expenditure.

After the project was developed, the income from the three projects would be returned interest-free. After the support fund was repaid, all the profits of the project would go to the villa.

In addition, there was an additional fund of 10 million yuan. It was the fund for the ecological park development of the mountain where the river flowed past.

It had nothing to do with his villa. The county had invested in it. It was sort of the county's official property.

The reason why it was added was to liaise with the villa's drift project. It was because of this project that the county wanted to develop this ecological park.

For example, you need a special car to send drifting tourists up the mountain, right?

Then, the county would build an ecological park scenic area and build a sightseeing train that would go straight to the drifting point. Many people would probably be willing to buy tickets and take the sightseeing train up the mountain.

This project would definitely make money because it was to contact the villa. This project would give the villa a dividend.

In addition, the county could organize people to sell Youcheng County specialties at the floating-point, or sell swimming rings, swimming trunks, sunglasses, and so on.

As long as there was a lot of traffic, there would be a lot of benefits.

Naturally, Qinglin Villa could also do these things, but he had no intention of doing so. It was impossible for a person to earn all the money alone.

If a person insisted on earning all the money, they would only be met with envy. If they could earn a large sum of money themselves and let others earn money as well, they would have many followers.

On the surface, this additional clause meant that the county had taken the mountain villa tourist bonus, but Qin Lin knew that there were many hidden benefits for him.

If he did it well and the results were visible to the naked eye, at least no one in Youcheng County could cause trouble for his villa.

He didn't even need to do anything about that woman's unreasonable behavior last time. The county would settle such matters and give him a platform.

As for some people, they would definitely be worried that there would be some twists and turns in their cooperation.

But most people believed in this country that had always protected them and allowed them to have a peaceful life that the entire world envied.

Even if there was an individual problem, it was someone else's.

Moreover, this was the Internet era. Sometimes, one really wasn't afraid of others.

In the Internet era, how many people lived in fear? They were afraid that their families would make them suffer if they said anything wrong.

The Internet age had given birth to many bad things, and just as many good things.

"Boss Qin, you can consult the relevant lawyer about this contract. After confirming that there are no problems, we can go to the county to sign the contract. If there are any other doubts, we can also hold a meeting as soon as possible to make adjustments." Chen Li saw Qin Lin looking at the contract and took the initiative to remind him.

He took this cooperation very seriously. He also wanted both sides to proceed in harmony and not leave any loose ends. After all, they stood on different sides. If they felt it was reasonable, the other party might not feel it was reasonable.

Qin Lin nodded.

He was not a law student. Although he felt there was nothing wrong with the contract, it never hurt to be cautious.

Since Chen Li had mentioned it, he opened WeChat and took a photo of the contract to a senior from the law department. "Senior Brother Chu, please take a look at this contract."

He had met this Senior Chu in the university club and had a good relationship with him. When he confessed to his girlfriend, he had even brought the club members to help set up the scene.

At that time, the scene was so romantic that even Zhao Moqing was envious.

Senior Brother Chu entered the famous Quanjing Law Firm as soon as he graduated. In the end, he even successfully stayed in Quanjing Law Firm. It was very impressive.

After sending the photo, he transferred another 3,000 yuan. This was the other party's two-hour consultation fee.

A moment later, the other party sent an OK gesture, followed by a surprised message. "Qin Lin, you're good. Do you own Qinglin Villa? I knew there was something wrong with this name. Qin Lin, Zhao Moqing, I see."

"Senior Brother Chu, come and play when you're free," Qin Lin replied again.

"OK, definitely!"

Chen Li knew that things wouldn't happen overnight, so he suggested to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, let's go take a look at that river when we have time? As a field research project?"

"Alright, let's take a walk." Qin Lin did not refuse and followed Chen Li and the other two out of the hall.

Chen Dabei also followed with two security guards.

The people and bosses in this county had to be taken good care of when they went out. Nothing must go wrong.

The river that was to be developed was less than ten minutes away from the villa. It was also connected to the reservoir. To be precise, the river originally merged into the Central Lake. This reservoir was built later and became the intersection point.

At that time, the end of the rafting would be next to the reservoir, and this road had to be specially renovated. A fence would be built, and the beautiful gravel road would be planted with vines and flowers.

At the foot of the mountain near the reservoir, Qin Lin was about to take a look with Chen Li when he saw three people working by the reservoir, carrying fish on a small boat.

When he saw one of them, he was stunned. Wasn't that Liu Hua, who had come with Zhao Moqing's brother and sister-in-law and asked him where he caught fish?

This guy really came to catch fish?

Qin Lin sighed inwardly. This person really believed him.

Liu Hua was also very embarrassed to see Qin Lin. After all, he knew that what he had done was quite embarrassing. However, once the temptation of 650,000 yuan was aroused, it was not so easy to resist.

He bowed his head in silence and urged his two friends to get on board, intending to enter the area where the reservoir and the lake were linked to place the fuel.

As long as he caught one of those wild ornamental fish, he could immediately change to another car.

Qin Lin did not care about them and followed Chen Li into the mountains.

The two of them talked a lot along the way, about tourist issues. They had a lot in common.

He felt that many of Chen Li's suggestions made sense. The other party must have done some research on Youcheng County's tourism development.

As they chatted, Chen Li suddenly said in embarrassment, "Boss Qin, actually, I have a very difficult request to make today. I hope you can help."

"Chief Chen, what is it that requires you to use the word 'request'?" Qin Lin asked curiously.

This matter should have nothing to do with fund support. Otherwise, it would have been added to the contract terms.

Moreover, since Chen Li had spoken, it should be something he could do.

Chapter 75

Chen Li explained, "The purpose of the county's Global Tourism+ Plan is to promote the development of other industries through tourism. However, no matter how hard the county works, there are always some aspects that they can't take care of. For example, there are still a lot of stagnant agricultural products."

"Aren't many places holding official live broadcasts to help farmers these days? Even many small local county heads have personally appeared."

"The county wanted to try it, too. First came the task of offering 4,000 catties of honey. Unfortunately, that task fell to me."

"Isn't it just nice that your villa's medicinal honey is famous? I want you to help use the villa's self-media official to promote it on Douyin."

"Boss Qin, don't worry. The honey is carefully cultivated. There's no problem with the quality. I can guarantee that."

"Alright, I'll go back and arrange it." Qin Lin did not expect Chen Li to talk about this.

It was not uncommon for live streams to carry goods.

This industry also made a group of people rich. It also made it easier for the common people to shop. There was one more option.

However, the new student industry was also in chaos. There were all kinds of fake goods and tricks, and there was no way to guarantee quality.

As for being able to buy real or fake goods, that could only depend on the conscience of the person carrying the goods. But how much was conscience worth to many people? Cold water could be sold as bird's nest.

But now, more and more officials were joining in to increase their credibility. He believed that the industry would soon be reorganized. Hadn't that Internet celebrity just been criticized by the officials?

That was the clear signal. Some people were going to start suffering.

Now that the county was going to carry out this aspect, he would naturally support it. At the very least, there would definitely be no problem with the quality.

It was impossible for the county to roll over on this little matter and affect the grand plan of all-domain tourism+.

...

Time passed.

When Qin Lin accompanied Chen Li back to the villa, he also received a message from Senior Brother Chu. "Qin Lin, there's basically no problem with the terms of this contract. It's just that on the additional terms, Youcheng County clearly wants to take your tourist dividend. However, I suggest that you don't dwell on this matter. This is also beneficial to you. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to lose some benefits."

Qin Lin was relieved to see the reply. Therefore, when he returned to the hall, he said to Chen Li, "Chief Chen, there's no problem with the terms of the contract."

Chen Li also made an invitation. "Then let's go to the county to sign the contract together so that we can make a public announcement and start work quickly?"

The approval of such a large support fund was not something that he could just sign with the villa. Not only did he have to be supervised by the relevant departments, but he also had to leave a background for the government to make an official announcement.

Qin Lin also knew this and did not refuse. He followed Chen Li back to the Tourism Bureau.

The process took another hour to sign the contract.

When they returned to the villa, Qin Lin also found Zhao Moqing and told him about the county's live broadcast.

Zhao Moqing nodded. "I understand. I'll send a video to the county's live broadcast room on time."

Night came quickly.

In the Tourist Bureau.

Chen Li was already sitting nervously in front of the live broadcast phone that had been prepared. This was his first time doing something like this. For this, he had even invited an eloquent female reporter from Youcheng County TV Station to be the host.

The live stream quickly opened. Although the county's official channel had already done some publicity, there weren't many people in the live stream at first. There were less than 100 people, and most of them were from Youcheng County.

How could they sell 4,000 catties with so few people?

For a moment, Chen Li felt that the task in the live stream was difficult. He immediately glanced at Zhong Lei.

Zhong Lei understood and took out his phone to send a message to President Qin of Qinglin Villa.

In Qinglin Villa.

After Qin Lin received the news, he asked Zhao Moqing to send out the video she had prepared.

"I have good news for all of you. The Youcheng County Official Tourism Bureau is assisting the bee farmers tonight. They have carefully cultivated premium honey for all of you. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. It's cheap at 45 yuan a catty."

There was also a link below the live stream.

The popularity of medicinal honey water was still high. It had been refreshing the screen continuously today. When they suddenly saw this announcement, everyone was attracted.

Honey was actually a very popular product. Many people liked it, but the key was that there were too many fake goods. No one dared to buy it online. Therefore, many people who wanted to buy it were conflicted and could not sell it.

If it was an official sale, it would definitely be credible.

Moreover, the authenticity of the medicine in Qinglin Villa also increased this credibility.

"Just in time to buy honey. I'll go and have a look!"

"I don't usually buy honey online. Too many fakes."

"I'm sure there's nothing fake about Youcheng County Tourist Board bringing goods."

"…"

The video became popular, and more and more people saw the additional link to enter Chen Li's live stream.

A moment later, Chen Li's live stream was filled with comments from the party. There were more and more comments.

"Watch the tourist board bring the goods up close!"

"The anchor seems nervous!"

"…"

Chen Li could naturally see the rapidly increasing number of viewers.

Boss Qin's help was indeed effective.

The female reporter who was acting as the host watched in surprise as the number of viewers increased. Soon, there were more than a thousand people, and the number was still increasing.

She had done live broadcasts on television before and knew very well how difficult it was to increase the audience. In addition to the fan base, there was also the official popularity.

Qinglin Villa was really popular.

How enviable.

However, she also knew her mission tonight. She began to shout into the camera, "Hello, everyone. This is the official farming operation of Youcheng County. Today, the live broadcast room has prepared 4,000 catties of high-quality honey. The quality is guaranteed by the officials of Youcheng County. There are many uses for honey. For example… let's link up first…"

Zhong Lei and his colleagues were already prepared. After the female reporter said that she wanted to link up, they immediately posted the link to the honey backstage.

Almost at the same time, some viewers had already started to click on the link. The official guaranteed quality of the cultivated honey was really not expensive at 45 yuan a catty. While guaranteeing that it was the real thing, many people would definitely choose to buy it.

"Next, we would like to invite Chief Chen of our Youcheng County Tourism Bureau to introduce to you the cultivation technology and characteristics of our Youcheng County Honey," the female reporter added before giving the camera to Chen Li.

"Hello, everyone. I'm…" For the first time, Chen Li spoke with trepidation.

He didn't want to screw up this mission, either. The expectant looks from the bee farmers were still fresh in his mind.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, an exclamation interrupted him. "It's sold out!"

"What sale…" Zhong Lei frowned and looked at his colleague beside him. When he saw the backstage data, he was shocked. "It's really sold out."

"What?" Chen Li was dumbfounded when he heard this.

What happened?

He had not even introduced himself, but 4,000 catties were sold out?

What happened to it being a difficult task?

The female reporter beside him secretly glanced at the number of people in the live stream. In that short period of time, the number of people in the live stream had reached an astonishing 15,000+.

Wasn't the popularity of Qinglin Villa too terrifying?

At this moment…

The audience in the live stream also discovered that the honey on the link had been sold out. Coupled with Zhong Lei's voice entering the live stream, the entire live stream became lively and dense comments floated past.

"6666. It was only on the link and it's gone."

"I've only just tapped the screen, and I've already discovered that it's sold out. I don't feel the least bit involved."

"Haha, Chief Chen is as stunned as I am."

"4,000 catties. The chief looks down on everyone."

Chapter 76

Chen Li was indeed stunned. He opened his mouth and looked at the long speech on the table, not knowing what to say.

The county also knew the power of the Internet and wanted to use a more positive method to open up sales for some of the county's slow-moving products.

He had prepared 4,000 catties of honey this time. He had thought that even with the heat of Qinglin Villa, it would take a long time to sell the products at night, so he had prepared a long speech.

But he had never expected that the 4,000 catties of honey would be sold out so soon. His prepared speech had not come in handy at all.

"That… is really surprising. Let me introduce everyone to Youcheng County's honey farming…" Chen Li could only speak to the audience in the live broadcast room awkwardly. After finally introducing himself, he finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "Then, this live broadcast is over. Thank you, everyone, for your support of our Youcheng County's products."

On the other side, Zhong Lei turned off the live broadcast after receiving the signal.

Only then did Chen Li stand up with a sigh of relief. He took a piece of paper and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Fortunately, I held back just now. I can't do it anymore."

Zhong Lei also stepped forward with a smile and said, "Chief Chen, it's not just you. We also didn't react in time."

Chen Li nodded and said, "This has also allowed us to see the network power of this information society. If we make good use of it, it can completely benefit the people. In addition, follow this batch of honey closely. We can't have any problems with the quality. Our Youcheng County can't afford to lose face. If anything goes wrong, the county won't let us off."

Then, he said to Zhong Lei, "By the way, there are already a lot of customers in Qinglin Villa. To prevent any accidents, write an application for Qinglin Villa to set up a scenic patrol officer. I'll submit it to the county."

"Okay!" Zhong Lei replied. He knew that if the live broadcast results were given to the county, the scenic patrol officers would definitely set up.

…

In the villa.

...

Qin Lin also ended the day's statistics. Today, the villa's turnover had maintained at 250,000 yuan. However, after the medicinal honey water was officially sold tomorrow, the turnover would break another new high.

"Qin Lin, the county's live broadcast is trending!" Zhao Moqing walked up to Qin Lin with his phone and said in surprise.

"That's good. At least we helped." Qin Lin nodded and asked, "How many catties of honey have they sold?"

"See for yourself!" Zhao Moqing handed the phone to Qin Lin with an inexplicable smile.

Qin Lin took his phone and saw a video. The title stunned him for a moment: Youcheng County's official support, Bee Farmer Live Stream. Before the director of the Tourism Bureau could organize his words, it was sold out. The director was stunned.

"Uh, it was sold out in an instant?" Qin Lin asked in surprise.

Zhao Moqing nodded and said, "I've been watching the live broadcast. It was sold out as soon as it was connected."

"…" Qin Lin was abnormally surprised.

Moreover, this video was already popular. The comments section was even more exciting.

"Host: Uplink. Chief Chen, please speak. Alright, it's sold out. You can turn off the live broadcast."

"Chief Chen: The product we brought today is honey… Secretary: Director, the honey was sold out when you spoke!"

"Chief Chen: I've been preparing my speech for two hours, but I've only said one sentence, and the stock is sold out."

"Next time, give them some face and let them have some room to play."

"…"

"Chief Chen's confused face is going to be an emoji." Qin Lin couldn't help but laugh when he saw these comments.

Even through the screen, he could imagine how stunned Chief Chen must have been.

Time passed.

After a night of fermentation, the county's farm assistant's live broadcast became even more popular the next day. Naturally, there was also the medicinal honey water.

Qin Lin moved all the items from the game to the villa and went to the sales area of the sales center. Three girls in work clothes had already arrived and were waiting.

These three girls were newly recruited. Gao Yaoyao brought them to familiarize themselves with the villa and helped them get used to the work there in a day or two.

"Boss!" The three girls shouted in unison when they saw Qin Lin.

Qin Lin nodded at the three girls. After a free trial drink yesterday, the taste and effect of the medicinal honey water had been confirmed. No one would question it. Today, it would depend on the sales.

90 catties of honey could be soaked in 1,500 large cups of medicinal honey water. In total, it could earn nearly 150,000 yuan.

After that, Qin Lin returned to the hall and called Chen Dabei into the back.

The large shed that he had instructed to deal with had already been built. It was going to be used to plant ordinary watermelon seeds.

He and Chen Dabei took the hoe and turned over the ground in the greenhouse. Then, they planted ordinary watermelon seeds and pollinated the seeds during the flowering period.

Watermelons were too short in bloom.

Besides, the two varieties had different flowering periods and had to be carefully calculated.

At that time, after the new quality 2 watermelon seeds grew, they would also need to use colchicine to change their chromosomes and become multiples again.

The description was simple, but the process was complex, even dull.

Chen Dabei didn't know what his boss was doing. He didn't seem to need to grow watermelons himself, but he knew that as a security captain, he had to do whatever his boss ordered him to do. He didn't ask or inquire.

The greenhouse wasn't big and the two of them quickly finished rummaging through it. Just as they were about to take a break, Gao Yaoyao ran in and reported, "Boss, the medicinal honey water has been sold out."

"So soon?" Qin Lin was surprised.

There were only 1,500 customers a day, but the medicinal honey was sold out before the morning was over?

"Are the tickets for the Sea of Flowers sold out today?" Qin Lin asked again.

Gao Yaoyao explained, "Many people came to the villa early this morning. The first thing they did was to go to the sales center to buy medicinal honey water. Some people even bought many cups at once. After buying them, they didn't stay any longer and left directly. They should be from Youcheng County. They came specially for the medicinal honey water. Now, the tourists can't buy it even if they want to. Many people are complaining."

Qin Lin frowned slightly.

He did not expect the medicinal honey water to sell so quickly, but on second thought, it was normal. Medicinal honey water was very popular, and there were people who specially bought it to take videos and clock in.

What was the point of buying 10 glasses at once? It was probably to make a video and gain more popularity.

This was a deformed consumption. It was probably why the first cup of milk tea in autumn had appeared.

Once it was autumn, the entire circle of friends would be showing off their milk tea. It was as if they would fall behind if they did not show off. It directly promoted the consumption of milk tea.

Gao Yaoyao continued, "Boss, are we going to take out the medicinal honey in our inventory and continue selling it?"

He had kept the 90 catties of honey in stock for emergencies. He had not intended to take it all out.

"Take out another 20 catties!" Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, if they want to buy medicinal honey water now, they have to use the Sea of Flower's tickets or the villa's 50-yuan receipt to buy a cup. If they have both, they can buy two cups."

Since there was such a phenomenon, he naturally had to think for the tourists. He might as well do a bundle sale. Moreover, the conditions were not harsh. Basically, all the tourists exceeded this standard.

This kind of bondage sales was often criticized.

However, there were some exceptions. They were limited in quantity and precious.

Not only would such restrictions not be criticized, but they could also be upgraded.

His medicinal honey water belonged to this category.

Chapter 77

"Boss, there's one more thing," Gao Yaoyao reported. "Many tourists asked about honey today and wanted to buy some ordinary Youcheng County honey. They said that they didn't manage to buy it yesterday."

"Got it. I'll deal with this later." Qin Lin nodded.

This meant that the county's farm assistant live broadcast last night had made a name for itself.

Qin Lin returned to the hall and saw Zhao Moqing teaching Lin Fen how to use the computer at the bar.

In the end, Lin Fen got her wish and was responsible for the registration of the goods. Therefore, she was very curious about how to use the computer.

Actually, many old people were like this. They felt that if they could do something to help their children, they would still be useful. They would feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, many young people did not understand this kind of mentality.

Qin Lin could only follow his mother's wishes. He secretly instructed Zhao Moqing to check on his mother when she was free to prevent any mistakes.

It was not that he was afraid that there would be many losses. After all, there were still bills. If they were wrong, he could just redo them.

He was worried that his mother would blame herself and affect her mood if something went wrong.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted seriously in front of the computer. Wang Cai was thrown aside and paced around their feet. From time to time, it would look at the computer as if it had been excluded.

It ignored the cashier girl at the bar who wanted to play with it.

Qin Lin walked into the bar and played with Wang Cai. He saw Chen Li bringing three people to the villa. One of them was his secretary, Zhong Lei. The other was a man in a suit and the other was a middle-aged woman.

"Chief Chen, congratulations on a successful live broadcast last night." Qin Lin immediately walked out of the bar and walked forward with a smile.

Chen Li shook his head and said, "Boss Qin, just watch me make a fool of myself. I've already been made into a meme online."

The man in the suit and the middle-aged woman could not help but smile when they heard this. The two of them also knew about the county's farm assistant live broadcast last night. They could imagine how awkward Chief Chen was at that time.

"That means you're famous, Chief Chen. Isn't this better for the future farmers' live broadcast?" Qin Lin smiled and led the group to a table to sit down.

Chen Li's mood improved a lot when he heard Qin Lin's words. After sitting down, he said, "Boss Qin, I actually came here today for two things. The first is to thank you first. The live broadcast last night was very effective, and Youcheng County Honey has also gained some fame."

Qin Lin said, "Chief Chen, let me tell you something about the honey. Many tourists want to buy honey today. It seems that it's time for my sales center to buy a batch of honey. It's just that the quality of the goods is hard to guarantee."

"Boss Qin, this is a good thing. Don't worry about the quality of the goods. I'll arrange it." Chen Li was naturally happy to see such a win-win situation and immediately guaranteed.

That was Qin Lin's goal. He smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."

Chen Li continued, "Boss Qin Lin, let's talk about something else. The county's support fund will arrive at your villa in the afternoon. I'll also introduce these two to you."

"This lady is Section Chief Hu of the Finance Bureau. This is President Sun of Youcheng First Construction Company. Youcheng First Construction Company will be in charge of the construction of the project and will send the best engineering team to complete the project in the shortest time possible."

Qin Lin nodded and greeted the two of them.

Chief Hu was in charge of reviewing and supervising this support fund.

This was also a necessary monitoring procedure under the relevant regulations.

Youcheng First Construction Engineering Company could be considered to have an official background. They were in charge of official demolition projects and road projects. Previously, when the county said that they would help contact the engineering company, he had guessed that it would be this company.

"Hello, Boss Qin." Chief Hu shook hands with Qin Lin.

"Boss Qin, don't worry. We will do our best in the villa project. We definitely won't embarrass ourselves in front of the tourists." When President Sun shook hands with Qin Lin, he made a promise. He had seen Sun Xian before he came and knew the significance of this villa project, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect it.

Besides, he was more afraid that something would go wrong. In this age of the Internet, with so many tourists, it would be a huge problem to take a video and upload it online. The small things would be magnified tenfold. He couldn't handle it.

Honestly, he was under a lot of pressure to take on this project.

Seeing that everyone was chatting, Zhao Moqing personally made four cups of honey water at the bar and asked the waiter to send them up.

She didn't join in the fun herself. She knew that Qin Lin and the others were definitely going to talk business.

Seeing that four cups of honey water were served, Qin Lin also introduced, "Chief Hu, President Sun, this is our villa's new medicinal honey water. Try it."

After drinking the medicinal honey water, Chen Li also said to the two of them, "This medicinal honey water tastes really good. Qinglin Villa is very popular now."

Chief Hu smiled and said, "Then we really have to try it. Yesterday, my daughter was talking about this medicinal honey water."

President Sun picked it up and started drinking.

After a few mouthfuls of the medicinal honey water, his eyes lit up.

Chief Hu said, "This tastes really good."

President Sun: "Chief Hu, even if it's not good, it won't make so many tourists like it."

Chen Li casually added, "Boss Qin has a lot of good stuff. For example, that special watermelon is still in the cultivation stage. Only Boss Qin has it in Youcheng County."

Qin Lin smiled inexplicably when he heard this.

Although Chief Chen had said this casually, it would be different after the news spread. Then, everyone would have a consensus and it would become an established fact.

This was equivalent to official recognition of him. When he really cultivated the seeds, the rest would be much easier.

After that, Qin Lin and Chen Li discussed many more details.

President Sun asked about his needs and style. When the time came, he would get a design plan.

Qin Lin naturally had his own plans for the villa and told them his requests.

As for Chief Hu, he was listening at the side.

All he had to do was supervise the use of the funds. When the time came, he would write the public announcement report. The rest was none of his business.

After chatting for about an hour, Chen Li left with his men.

After lunch.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing were accompanying Lin Fen, who was holding Wang Cai's hand when they received a notification.

Just as Chen Li had said, the money support fund had been transferred to the special card, totaling 23 million yuan.

23 million yuan was nothing to those rich people who lived in a neighborhood with a per capita population of 100 million yuan, but it was definitely a huge sum of money to the current Qin Lin. It could save him a lot of time.

At the same time, without this money, not only would he have to build it slowly, but he would also have to pay for the villa's daily income. With this money, he might have finished paying his debts at the same time and not have to spend his own money.

Therefore, without him investing, his current capital flow would become abundant.

Then some things should be done.

Such as buying a house.

Chapter 78

Regarding the house, Qin Lin had his own plans after buying the villa. After all, the villa was 500 acres. He could build a villa there according to his wishes.

However, this did not conflict with buying a house. No one stipulated that a villa could not be built in the city, right?

Besides, Zhao Moqing had already moved into his house and could no longer stay in the rented apartment. Buying a house was also his promise to his mother-in-law.

Most importantly, it was inconvenient. They had just moved in together and were at their most passionate. However, they could not do anything because of their accommodation. It was very torturous.

It took time to build a villa.

Therefore, he had to buy a house.

Seeing Qin Lin stop, Zhao Moqing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Moqing, let's go buy a house!"

"Buying a house? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Zhao Moqing was stunned. Back then, she and Qin Lin had to secretly register their marriage because of a housing problem.

Qin Lin explained, "The county's support fund has arrived, and we have more funds here. Since that's the case, we have to buy the house first. It's not convenient for us to live here now."

The words "not inconvenient" clearly meant something. Zhao Moqing understood what he meant from the corners of his lips.

Why was this guy's mind so dirty?

He knew it was inconvenient, but he still insisted on touching her every night.

Lin Fen also subconsciously stopped. Excitement was obvious on her face when she heard her son's words.

Her family's house had been sold a long time ago. What she wanted most now was for her son to buy another house. No matter how much money he made now, the house was a sore point.

"When do we go?" Zhao Moqing asked.

"Now!" Qin Lin didn't want to waste time.

Seeing that Qin Lin had decided, Zhao Moqing nodded and said to Lin Fen, "Mom, let's go look at houses together!"

"I still have to walk Wang Cai. You and Xiao Lin can go." Lin Fen shook her head.

She was happier than anyone else that her son wanted to buy a house, but she also knew that she had different tastes from the young people. If they went together and she could not help but give her opinions, the young couple would be conflicted again.

She might as well let the couple go by themselves. Anyway, she would be happy with whatever kind of house her son bought.

As she spoke, Lin Fen was already leading Wang Cai forward.

Now that the family was finally getting better, and her son and Mo Qing were getting along well, she didn't want to be like her parents in a television drama.

…

The housing prices in Youcheng County were very high, but at the same time, there was no lack of people buying houses. Instead, they were very tight on sales.

It was a deformity, and a miracle created by the society that talked of marriage through housing.

Every parent had to raise money to save almost as soon as their children were born, just waiting to make a down payment on a house for their children when they got married.

Many times, parents also became one of the conditions for whether their son could find a wife and keep his love.

Otherwise, how could the younger generation afford a house in a place with an average salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan?

Therefore, there was no shortage of people buying houses in Youcheng County. Even the exquisite hardcover renovation of the newly built Youcheng County First Class last year had reached 25,000 yuan per square foot.

That's right. In a small county with a per capita salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, a small district with a housing price of 25,000 yuan per square meter appeared.

There were rumors that property prices were going to drop, but what they saw in Youcheng County was still madness.

In a county with an average salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, most families gritted their teeth and took out more than 10,000 yuan.

A housing price of more than 20,000 yuan was something that most families could not afford even if they tightened their belts. Thus, Youcheng County First Class became a truly high-end district in Youcheng County.

While the property was expensive, it also meant that the supporting functions were better. There was an underground parking lot, a small park, a pool, a basketball court, and other facilities.

Qin Lin brought Zhao Moqing out of the villa and headed straight for Youcheng County First Class.

He planned to buy a house here. One of the reasons was that it was more comfortable to live in a high-end neighborhood. The other reason was that he had checked all the houses in Youcheng County before he got the game system. Although he couldn't afford it, he could still have desires, right?

The well-decorated boutique in Youcheng County was the Nordic minimalist style that Zhao Moqing liked.

As soon as Qin Lin brought Zhao Moqing to the sales hall of Youcheng County First Class, a salesperson in a professional suit came forward to welcome them. "Welcome, I'm Fang Xin, the salesperson. I'm very happy to serve you. We have four new residential areas for sale. May I know if you have any residential areas that you already like?"

Qin Lin said directly, "Youcheng County First Class. My wife likes simple Nordic decoration."

When Fang Xin heard Qin Lin's words, she immediately introduced, "There are still many unsold first-grade houses on the sixth floor of Youcheng County First Class. Among them, there are 90 small, 120 medium, and 160 large houses…"

Qin Lin said directly, "Is there still a 160-square-meter double balcony with a big furnished house? My wife likes to grow flowers. She can grow flowers on the balcony. With more space, we can also get her a special cloakroom."

In the past, when Qin Lin looked at houses, his favorite was the first-grade exquisite house in Youcheng County First Class In the past, he could only rely on his imagination to buy it. Now that he had the ability, he would definitely not hesitate.

Fang Xin only felt that she was on the receiving end of a wave of the couple's public display of affection. However, selling houses was a lucrative occupation, and there was never a shortage of a couple's public display of affection.

It was rare for someone to look at a house so readily. She wondered if it would be sold in the end. A 160-square-meter boutique house was the hardest to sell. After all, Youcheng County was a small place. At 25,000 yuan per square meter, that was more than 4 million yuan. A couple with a salary of 4,000 yuan would have to work for 42 years to save up. 30% of the down payment would have to be 1.2 million yuan for nearly 13 years.

And that was assuming they didn't eat or drink.

…

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing followed Fang Xin to the exquisite room.

It was indeed pure Nordic simplicity.

After taking a look around, one could tell that the renovation was meticulous. There was a reason why it was expensive.

Neither of the balconies was small. Besides, they faced well, and the bright floor-to-ceiling windows illuminated the entire house.

The hall and room were also comfortably furnished.

"Qin Lin, the renovation is very good." Zhao Moqing couldn't help but praise. She was indeed interested in such a renovation-style house.

Qin Lin could also see the joy in her eyes. She clearly liked this suite.

Buying a house was like that. Those who didn't have money had to carefully choose their prices. They often had to look at many properties and it was difficult to meet someone considerate. When they didn't lack money, it was always easier to meet something they liked at a glance in a high-end neighborhood.

Sometimes, you get what you pay for. Except for the unlucky ones who wanted you to pay an IQ tax.

Qin Lin immediately said, "Manager Fang, we want this house!"

"Ah… Sir, you're buying it?" Fang Xin was instantly delighted.

She was still considering how to persuade him to set the deposit. She did not expect him to buy it so decisively.

Qin Lin nodded and said, "My wife obviously likes it, so I naturally have to buy it."

"…" Fang Xin felt like she had just eaten another round of their public display of affection.

It was very filling indeed!

Not long after.

The three of them returned to the sales center.

Fang Xin invited the two of them to sit down. Just as she took out the contract and handed it to them, she heard a man and a woman arguing.

"Guo Zitan, what do you mean? We agreed that you wouldn't need a betrothal gift after we registered our marriage. If you bought a house, you would write my name on it. Now that we've registered our marriage, you actually secretly signed the contract and only wrote your name?"

"Lin Lan, listen to me. My parents gave me this down payment. My mother didn't agree. She was the one who insisted on signing my name."

"Guo Zitan, you bastard! Let's get a divorce!"

The two of them made Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing look at each other.

He could roughly guess what was going on from these simple words.

Fang Xin looked at the two of them worriedly. "Whose name will be written on the house?"

She'd been doing this for a long time, and this was the step she was most worried about. A lot of couples who were already interested blew up because of whose name they wrote in the book.

Qin Lin said without hesitation, "Write her name."

Honestly, he wasn't going to make the same mistake as the man next to him.

After all, it was common property to buy a house after registering their marriage. There was really no need to dwell on this.

Zhao Moqing immediately said, "Write our names. Our shared home is like a marriage certificate. We have to have two names."

"…" Fang Xin felt like she was a lightbulb again. This time, it was not pleasant.

Was this couple buying a house or taking turns showing off their affection?

However, the other party had decisively bought a 160-square-meter house. No matter how bad this felt, she had to swallow it slowly.

Chapter 79

The house was settled, the contract was signed, and the down payment was made quickly. It was just that it took time to apply for a follow-up mortgage and transfer the property.

Previously, he had even booked a car. Now, he could not fork out four million yuan in one go. He could only take out a loan first.

These sales centers would also run errands. When the time came, he would just sign them. He didn't have to worry about them.

After signing the contract for such a hardcover house, he got the key first.

The furnished room had been aired for a long time. After cleaning up, they could move in directly.

After leaving the property sales center, Zhao Moqing maintained a happy expression.

Buying a house was a big deal for any woman. Having their own house was the real home for her and Qin Lin.

As soon as they returned to the villa, Lin Fen couldn't help but ask, "Lin Lin, Moqing, how's the house?"

"Mom, the contract has been signed. We can change the locks and pack up tomorrow." Zhao Moqing took Lin Fen's arm and handed the contract to her.

Clutching the contract, her face lit up with excitement. "I'll go pack with you tomorrow."

After her husband passed away, she sold her family's house and couldn't leave it for her son. Now that she saw her son buying a house, she was even more excited than Zhao Moqing.

Looking at Lin Fen's expression, Qin Lin was also very happy. He planned to let Master Lin kill a big fellow tonight and have fun with the employees of the villa.

As he was thinking about it, his phone rang. It was Ma Liewen. He had wanted to fill the membership before, but he didn't have the business, so he kept the number.

As soon as the call was picked up, Ma Liewen's voice sounded. "Boss Qin, congratulations. The medicine is popular and business is booming!"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, what can I do for you?"

Ma Liewen also said, "Boss Qin, I'll bring someone over in two days to help me get some special quality okra!"

"Alright." Qin Lin smiled and agreed.

Apart from the Quality 2 Watermelon that could be directly planted in the villa, there was no other supply of Quality 2 Watermelon. The Quality 2 okra had long been stored in the game.

…

The day passed again.

During the night, the bustling villa fell silent again.

The statistics for the new day at the villa had also been calculated. The limit was still 1,500 people and the admission fee was 75,000 yuan.

20 out of 25 Quality 2 watermelons were sold for a total of 23,000 yuan.

This was a good sign. After all, a Quality 2 watermelons cost more than 1,000 yuan. Previously, not many of them could be sold in a day.

As the villa became popular, there were obviously many more customers with high spending power. It was not like in the beginning, when the watermelons of Quality 2 were still not selling well and had to be packed up for Ma Liewen.

Quality 1 okra, yam, and broccoli came to a total of 54,775 yuan.

The medicinal honey water was sold out for a total of 145,540 yuan!

1,200 catties of Quality 1 strawberry and 68 Quality 1 watermelon were sold out for a total of 68,080 yuan.

A total of 37,880 yuan for the game's wild fish, fishing rod rental, stove, barbecue grill rental, jungle adventure, and grass-skiing projects.

There was also wholesale fruit and seafood. As the supply increased, the turnover reached 21,860 yuan.

With the addition of the medicinal honey water project, the villa's turnover today reached 426,135 yuan, breaking through 400,000 yuan and reaching a new high. Its per capita consumption reached 284 yuan, but it was still a little shabby.

However, it was very impressive to have a turnover of 400,000 yuan. Other than Qin Lin, Gao Yaoyao and the other employees were also happy.

This was because it was soon the 15th of the month. Just now, Zhao Moqing had already calculated the employees' salary last month and sent it to the employees' WeChat group so that they could check it.

The salary of the villa was the same as the previous Fuhai Villa. Besides the villa paying for their insurance, the salary was given on the 15th of the following month, which was equivalent to 15 days of salary.

Other than Gao Yaoyao's initial batch of employees, the other employees couldn't get a full month's salary. The newcomers wouldn't even get their salary until next month.

However, when they saw Gao Yaoyao and the others' salaries, the other employees were inexplicably looking forward to it. This was because the employees received a commission from some projects in the villa.

Gao Yaoyao's salary was 4,500+83 commission!

The other three waiters who worked for the entire month were paid 3,500+83.

The salary was not high, and the commission was only 83 yuan. However, it had only been two days since the official opening of the villa last month.

In other words, the 83 yuan was the villa's commission for two days. Wouldn't it be more than 1,200 yuan a month?

To Youcheng County, more than 1,200 yuan a month was definitely delightful.

"Sister Moqing, let me see this month's commission." Gao Yaoyao looked at Zhao Moqing with watery eyes. She naturally wanted to see this month's commission.

As the foreman, she naturally knew that the turnover behind the villa was increasing. The commission would definitely be higher than those two days.

"Come in and take a look. Don't do it again!" When Zhao Moqing saw this, she didn't refuse. Firstly, Gao Yaoyao was the manager and the villa had to be nurtured. It was definitely impossible if the waiter came to ask.

Secondly, she could also motivate the employees through Gao Yaoyao.

The software used to calculate salary at the villa was a company app specially customized by Qin Ren's studio. It did not have many functions.

In the current era of the Internet, this thing was not expensive. There was a special template, and the other party would make some changes according to your needs. Only Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing had the backstage management account password.

"1123, that much?" Gao Yaoyao exclaimed when she saw the commission for the past 10 days.

The number was clearly beyond her expectations. It hadn't even been half a month. Didn't that mean that she could draw more than 2,500 yuan next month?

Then her salary would be 7,000 yuan.

In Youcheng County, where the average salary was 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, 7,000 yuan was definitely a high salary. She would save 4,000 yuan a month and be able to make a down payment on a small car as a gift when she turned 20 next year.

She was excited just thinking about it.

The others were obviously attracted by Gao Yaoyao's voice.

For some reason, everyone became more enthusiastic about cleaning, especially the waiters. Their commission was the same as Gao Yaoyao's.

Qin Lin clearly felt this too, Other than the Hero Valley, there shouldn't be anyone else in Youcheng County who could give the employees commission.

After all, the customer flow had not reached a certain level. Even if they wanted to motivate the employees, they would not dare to do so.

…

Early the next morning, a construction team appeared on the other side of the villa. It was Youcheng County First Construction Company.

Qin Lin had just moved everything out of the game and sent them to the villa in batches when President Sun of Youcheng County Construction Engineering Company came to look for him.

President Sun's name was Sun Ming. He had also brought a blueprint with him. "Boss Qin, other than the drifting project, the general plan is that the Sea of Flowers will be in the wasteland to the west and the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea will be at the two ends of the villa. It won't cause fatigue from viewing. The accommodation area will be between the two Sea of Flowers. Take a closer look at the specific blueprint."

Qin Lin took the plan and looked at it. It was all according to his requirements. First, there was a restaurant. After all, there were many recipes in Ranches Story that could definitely be used. After that, there was the bridal chamber project and the Sea of Flowers project. The bridal chamber project included a resting area with many seats, cradles, and swings for tourists to rest.

There naturally wouldn't be too many bridal chambers, only 100-150.

With the development of the villa, this number was far from enough to meet the number of tourists. However, he did not intend to do more. This was only to perfect the role of the villa's facilities. There was no need to compete with the county for that bit of overnight resources.

Only by allowing more tourists to live in the county could it stimulate tourists' spending more and also show the importance of the mountain villa to the county's all-inclusive tourism + plans.

After confirming that there was no problem with the blueprint, Qin Lin said, "President Sun, other than the projects supported by this county, I have some other projects that I need your help with. I'll fund these projects myself after this."

"Go ahead, President Qin." Sun Ming didn't refuse. He had already accepted the Mountain Villa Support Fund project, so he didn't mind taking on two more projects.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "President Sun, first of all, I want to build an employee dormitory. In addition, I want to build a manor villa for high-end tourists and plan the ranch in the remaining area."

How could Ranches Story not have a ranch?

When the ranch was developed in the game, there would be many livestock breeds. One had to know that there were even cows that could produce strawberry-flavored milk in the game.

Therefore, they could prepare for this aspect first. These were originally the next step of the plan. After the county approved the support funds, the plan could be brought forward accordingly.

"Then I'll go back and see how to plan it. I'll discuss it with President Qin later?" Sun Ming noted down Qin Lin's request and went to command the engineering team.

He had to keep an eye on the first day.

Qin Lin returned to the villa's hall.

His mother and Zhao Moqing did not come today. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not wait to go to the bridal chamber to clean up.

He looked at the mental screen and controlled the game character to wander around the map until he reached the forested hills behind the ranch.

The mountain was called Mount Notre Dame. It was also a big map in the game.

In the older version of the game, it was possible to enter Mount Notre Dame and look for mountain goods for sale.

This version of the game was a little different from many of the older versions. He had controlled the game character to visit Mount Notre Dame a few times before, but he did not discover anything special. The mountain goods did not refresh either.

This time, an NPC appeared when he entered Mount Notre Dame.

It was Loggerhead Gozzi from Ore Town.

Gozzi said, "Mountains are a gift to the world. In addition to the endless supply of wood, there are a lot of mountain goods that people like. Who knows, Zach might like to buy those things."

Qin Lin looked delighted when he saw the NPC's conversation.

So he could look for mountain goods?

Chapter 80

No matter which version of Ranches Story, mountain goods were one of the financial sources of the early stages of the game, from the earliest version of Ranches Story to various later versions. The difference was the type of mountain goods.

Qin Lin had just started playing this new mobile game. It had not been refreshed before, so he did not know what it was.

Gozzi was also a regular NPC in several versions of Ranches Story. Like Zach, he loyally read his NPC lines and left with a log over his shoulder.

Qin Lin controlled the game character in his mind to enter Mount Notre Dame.

This time was indeed different from before. As soon as he entered the mountain, he encountered collectible targets.

[Congratulations on obtaining 1 catty of wild Cherokee rose!]

He controlled the game character to go deeper.

Soon, a new collection target was discovered.

[Congratulations on obtaining 2 catties of wild myrtle!]

…

[Congratulations on obtaining 2 catties of wild Cherokee rose!]

…

[Congratulations on obtaining 1 catty of wild myrtle!]

…

Qin Lin controlled his game character to collect all the targets that he could collect on Mount Notre Dame, but the notifications he received were all wild Cherokee roses and myrtles.

He wondered if Mount Notre Dame would only farm these two types of mountain goods, or if there would be any changes in the future.

Cherokee roses and myrtles were considered medicinal herbs and also a type of mountain goods.

These two things were also relatively common. In fact, many artificial plants were not very expensive. The ordinary ones were only about 10 to 15 yuan, and the pure wild ones were only 20 to 30 yuan.

However, these two mountain products had great use. They were used for brewing wine.

Moreover, after the golden Cherokee roses wine was brewed, as long as it was aged, one catty of wild Cherokee roses wine could be sold for 150 yuan per catty.

Naturally, this meant that it had to be soaked for a year or two. Usually, it was not so expensive if it was soaked for a month or two.

Whether it was wine or medicinal wine, the price would rise rapidly as time passed.

Besides, it gave him an idea.

Due to the uniqueness of Ranches Story, watermelons that originally needed three months to bear fruit in reality only needed more than ten hours in the game. The flow of time was different. Only when he entered the game would the flow of time become normal (Chapter 1).

According to this ratio, wouldn't leaving the brewed wine in the game for a day be equivalent to soaking for half a year?

This simply had no time cost.

One month was equivalent to 15 years.

However, it was not clear if the items outside would be affected by the special rules of this game.

He would have to experiment to find out.

Qin Lin retracted his attention from the game scene in his mind and found an empty place. With a thought, he entered the game and headed to the storage room.

[Wild Cherokee Roses: Quality 2 (10 catties)]

[This is a special mountain product. It is also a medicine that can be used to soak medicinal wine. Effects: Treating frequent urination +2, nourishing the kidneys +2]

…

[Myrtle: Quality 2 (10 catties)]

[This is a special mountain product and also a medicine that can be used to soak medicinal wine. Effect: Blood-nourishing, Qi-circulating, and Yang-enhancing effect +2!]

"…" Qin Lin looked at the introduction of these two things and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the game planner.

Nourishing the kidney?

Yang-enhancing?

How could it have such effects?

But what the… he liked it.

After brewing this wine and drinking it all year round, even at the age of 60, he would probably be able to become a super brave warrior.

However, these two were only 10 catties. That was a little too little.

With such an effect, he definitely could not treat it the same as the ordinary Cherokee roses and myrtles on the market.

When this wine was brewed, people would buy it for 500 yuan per catty. If it was older, 1,000 or 2,000 yuan per catty would not be a problem.

Besides, if he sold it directly, he would definitely soak it in wine.

After Qin Lin left the game, he left the villa and headed to the city. Then, he went to the tobacco and alcohol market and bought 100 catties of 55° white wine.

The best ratio for making Cherokee roses and myrtles wine was 1:5, and the alcohol content had to exceed 50°.

Moreover, the price was not too cheap. He directly chose a catty of 50 yuan white wine. He could not use a catty of 10 yuan white wine, right?

That would be embarrassing.

He would now test the validity of his guess about the ratio of time in this game.

Qin Lin transported 100 catties of white wine to the warehouse and went to the supermarket to buy two 60 catties worth of containers for brewing alcohol. They were jars that could be sealed and faucets that could be used to brew alcohol.

There were a dozen other small containers in reserve.

After that, Qin Lin moved the white wine and the containers into the game and placed them directly in the storage room. Then, the white wine, Cherokee roses, and myrtles were placed into the fermented wine container and sealed.

After everything was done, Qin Lin exited the game again.

When he looked at the game scene in his mind again, there were indeed two additional containers of wine in the storage room. However, the scene was already different from what he had taken in. From the outside, it looked like a two-dimensional scene like the game.

[Unknown medicinal wine!]

He controlled the game character to step forward. For the time being, there was only this notification.

He would have to check the rest tomorrow.

When he returned to the villa, Gao Yaoyao ran to him and reported, "Boss, after limiting the purchase of medicinal honey water, the supply is still in short supply. Can we increase the supply of medicinal honey water?"

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "There are only so many of these every day. There's no way to increase the supply."

Gao Yaoyao suggested, "Then should we add some other ordinary fruit tea and milk tea for the tourists to choose from?"

"Yes, I'll arrange it tomorrow." Qin Lin nodded. This was also the original plan.

The medicinal honey water was not even enough for 1,500 people now. There would be more in the future. It was necessary to match it with other ordinary fruit tea and milk tea.

He would go back and tell Zhao Moqing about this. Last time, he had gotten an order from his brother-in-law, Zhao Moyun.

The day passed again.

During the night, the turnover was calculated and still maintained at 400,000 yuan.

When he returned home, Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen were already back. They were looking at some decorations on their phones.

On the side, Wang Cai could only lie there and lick its claws in boredom. The two women at home had long ignored it.

"Woof, woof." When Wang Cai saw Qin Lin return, it ran forward and rubbed against his leg.

"You're back?" Lin Fen was all smiles. "Moqing and I went shopping today. There are many decorations…"

She started babbling.

For her, it was an accomplishment.

Qin Lin was happy to see his mother happy.

His mother being happy every day was more important than anything else.

"By the way, when we move, we have to call your Uncle Ergen and Uncle Dalin. As for your uncle and the others…" As Lin Fen spoke, her expression darkened. "Forget it. As for the others, we don't care."

Qin Lin went forward and comforted her. "Mom, since they used to dislike us, it's fine if we don't interact with them anymore. Let's live well and not stick to them."

As the saying went, it was better to have a close neighbor than a distant relative. Sometimes it was true.

When his father was seriously ill, there were people like Uncle Shuigen and Uncle Dalin who were generous. There were also many people who avoided him. They even hung up without a word when they received a call from his mother.

This included his two uncles. He remembered the image of his mother coming to his door to plead. His two uncles, who claimed all kinds of difficulties, had each bought a car after his father died.

Not that his two uncles had to lend money to them just because they had money. After all, it was hard to earn money.

However, feelings went both ways. Since they were heartless to him, there was no need for him to get involved with them anymore. Otherwise, wouldn't he look cheap?

Anyway, his grandparents had already passed away, so he could just treat them as relatives.

Chapter 81

The next day, Qin Lin looked at the game in his mind as usual. He controlled the game characters to pick ripe crops and plant new seeds.

After that, he controlled the game character to enter the forest and put the wild honey that had been refreshed today into the storage room. Finally, he controlled the game character to head to Mount Notre Dame.

However, the mountain goods did not refresh. He did not know if it was because the time was not up or if the refresh mechanism of the mountain goods was different.

Qin Lin retracted his attention from the game and got up to wash up. After breakfast, he went to the warehouse to move the ripe crops and wild honey out of the game and shipped them to the villa in batches.

Just as he was done with his work, Qin Lin received a call. "President Qin, the two cars you ordered have arrived. You need to sign the papers and register at the DMV."

The car he had ordered had finally arrived. This was definitely good news.

Now that the game had moved out more things, the crappy tricycle was clearly wasting some time. The arrival of the blue truck would save a lot of time.

However, if there were more things in the game, it would be harder for him to move them. He had to think of something.

His stamina was limited, after all.

After hanging up, he called Zhao Moqing and asked her to drive over to pick him up.

Now that his car had arrived, it was time to return his brother-in-law's car.

Zhao Moqing soon arrived at the villa. "Qin Lin, why did you call me over so urgently?"

Qin Lin explained, "Let's go to the DMV. The car I booked has arrived."

"Is the car here?" Zhao Moqing's pretty face lit up.

Although they were both BMW 5 Series, driving her own car was definitely different from driving her brother's.

"Let's go!" Qin Lin said.

After entering the county city, Zhao Moqing first drove the car to the Mingyuan District in the East City. She went upstairs and returned the car keys to Zhao Moyun before taking a taxi to the DMV with Qin Lin.

The DMV was in the west center of town.

When Qin Lin arrived, the owner of the car shop was already waiting. Beside him were a brand new BMW 5 Series and a blue truck.

When he saw Qin Lin, the car owner immediately went up to him. "Boss Qin, sorry to keep you waiting."

The car owner was obviously very polite. He naturally knew that Qin Lin was the boss of Qinglin Villa. This was how society was. As long as you had achievements, everyone would be polite to you.

The owner of the car shop greeted them and the registration and various procedures were quickly completed.

The BMW 5 Series and minivan were also officially under Qin Lin's name.

When they reached the car, Zhao Moqing said, "Qin Lin, I'm going to pick Mom up. She's still choosing curtains at the curtain shop."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded. "I also want to try this small van."

After Zhao Moqing left, Qin Lin also got into the minivan and started it.

The minivan weighed 1.8 tons, which was the regular car weight of a blue truck.

As for C1, the permitted range of driving a blue truck was no more than 4.5 tons, which meant that they could pull 2.7 tons per trip. Under normal circumstances, most people would pull up to 3 tons.

If he didn't get on the highway, he usually wouldn't be checked.

In other words, this car's ability to pull cargo was three times that of the original broken tricycle.

Qin Lin had driven such a small truck before, but he was not familiar with it. He did not dare to drive too quickly out of the DMV and took some time to reach the warehouse.

Now that the shipping problem had been resolved, the transportation problem had to be resolved. Otherwise, there would be more things in the future. It would be extremely tiring to carry things into the car every day.

If he didn't consider concealment and relied on the characteristics of the system, he could just stand in the car and enter the game. When his hand touched something, he could move it directly to the car with a thought.

It wouldn't take him much effort.

However, it was because of his privacy. If he disappeared and appeared out of thin air and was seen, it would be troublesome.

After parking the car, Qin Lin looked at the warehouse door.

The width and height were perfectly adequate for the truck to drive in. The only problem was the steps. They needed to be filled in and made into a ramp. When the time came, he would modify the gate.

For the sake of secrecy, he planned to do these himself. He could just borrow the materials and tools from the construction site at the villa.

Without further ado, Qin Lin drove the truck directly to the construction site of the villa. The tunnel of the construction site opened another path at the intersection. Moreover, the periphery had already been surrounded, so it would not affect the normal operation of the villa.

The person in charge of the construction site knew that Qin Lin was the owner of the villa, so he was not stingy and gave him all the stone materials and tools he needed.

Only then did Qin Lin return to the warehouse and start modifying the entrance.

He worked for most of the day himself and was covered in sweat. He had to rest a few times in between before he could change the steps into a simple diagonal. It was a little rough, but it didn't matter as long as it worked.

When he was done, he drove home to shower and change his clothes.

Qin Lin looked at the game in his mind again. With a thought, he entered the game and headed to the storage room.

Reaching the container where the wine was stored, the message had changed:

[XX Medicine Wine!]

[This is a medicinal wine without a name. It has a special effect. It has a very good texture and taste. It has a special effect: Blood-nourishing Qi circulation +2, kidney nourishing +2, and Yang-strengthening +2! It can treat frequent urine use +2. It can be named!]

Clearly, this wine had the +2 attribute effect of both Cherokee roses and myrtles. The texture and taste were only described well without any special attributes.

The words "can be named" surprised Qin Lin.

In other words, the formula for this wine was originally not in the game. He had to come up with a new name for it.

"Qinglin Medicinal Wine?" Qin Lin tried to say. If he could create a brand with games in the future, he would definitely use the word Qinglin.

[The 'Qinglin Medicine Wine' has been named!]

Qin Lin received the game notification and looked at the note on the wine. As expected, it had already turned into the words 'Qinglin Medicine Wine'.

He grabbed a small container he'd prepared earlier and aimed it at the container's wine outlet. He opened the valve and filled the small container before taking it out of the game.

This wine had the effect of replenishing blood and qi +2, treating urinary needs +2 and strengthening the kidneys +2. This was definitely a good product.

However, medicinal wine had a special attribute. Just like ordinary wine, it had a time deposit. The longer it was, the more valuable it was.

He had looked up alcohol last night and knew that the new wine contained substances that caused the wine to have a spicy taste and were relatively rushed and rough, such as acrylic and sulfide. Drinking wine at this time of night stimulated the throat and tasted bad.

However, after a period of precipitation, some of the aldehydes in the wine would gradually decrease, and the quality of the wine would improve.

After two years of storage, the wine would be mellow and would have an excellent aftertaste.

After three years of storage, a stale taste would begin to appear. The wine would taste more mellow, the texture delicate, and the aftertaste longer.

Naturally, under normal circumstances, 30 years was the best period. If one wanted to brew a hundred-year-old wine after 30 years, they would need special sealing and inheritance techniques.

As for the medicinal herbs, they could also make the medicinal properties better dissolve in the wine over time. The wine would taste better and be more mellow.

Qin Lin was a person who did not know how to drink, or rather, he only knew how to drink beer. In the past, he would not even look at alcohol that cost more than 30 yuan, as if he could afford it.

He hadn't drunk much white wine because he didn't like high alcoholic content. He definitely couldn't tell how much time had passed. The note didn't say the time. He couldn't tell if the wine was what he had guessed. In the game, a day was equivalent to half a year.

After all, he was based on the conjecture that watermelons ripened twice a day.

Therefore, he did not have the ability to judge the age of the wine.

He could only go to the villa to take a look and let Master Lin and Chen Dabei try it. He could even invite some tourists to try it and see the situation.

If his guess was right, the price of this brewing method would be high.

Half a year's worth of wine and new wine. That price was completely different.

If this guess was feasible, then a month would be 15 years. How much would it be worth? Well, he really lacked knowledge in this area. He could not afford to drink this kind of wine before. He would have to look it up online later.

Chapter 82

Qin Lin brought the bottle of medicinal wine directly to the villa. As soon as he arrived at the hall, he called Chen Dabei and Master Lin to the bar.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Chen Dabei asked as soon as he arrived.

"Boss, there are many people ordering now, and the kitchen is getting busier. We have to hire another helper." Master Lin started complaining as soon as he arrived.

"Master Lin, I'll arrange this later. Now, help me taste a medicinal wine." As Qin Lin spoke, he took out two small cups and gave them a small cup of medicinal wine each.

Medicinal wine was not suitable for large cups, only small ones.

Chen Dabei and Master Lin did not understand what their boss meant. Seeing that their boss had handed them the wine, they hurriedly took it and tasted it.

After drinking a small glass of wine, Master Lin said, "Boss, this medicinal wine is 55 degrees, right?"

Chen Dabei also said, "I think so. It's very strong."

This was clearly not the answer Qin Lin wanted.

In just a moment, Master Lin and Chen Dabei clearly felt that something was amiss.

It was a feeling that made their blood flow more smoothly, especially the warm and comfortable feeling at their waists.

"Boss, this medicinal wine isn't cheap, right?" Master Lin asked in surprise.

Chen Dabei also nodded and said, "After drinking a cup, I feel much better. Ordinary medicinal wine definitely won't have such an effect."

...

Qin Lin nodded when he saw their reaction.

That was more like it. Otherwise, the +2 game attribute would have been wasted.

He asked again, "Master Lin, can you tell how old this wine is?"

"Boss, how can I tell?" Chen Dabei looked at his boss in a daze. How could he know this?

"Boss, you're asking the wrong person," Master Lin said. Wasn't it difficult for him to tell if the wine was good or not?

He was not a taster like on TV.

"Alright, it's fine." Qin Lin sighed.

Indeed, everyone was an ordinary person. If he couldn't tell, how could Chen Dabei and Master Lin, who were also ordinary people like him, tell the age of the wine?

It looked like he would have to find a professional sommelier.

He wondered if there were such people among the tourists who came to the villa.

As Qin Lin was thinking, he heard a familiar voice. "Boss Qin, I'm here again."

"Mr. Ma!" Qin Lin's eyes lit up when he saw Ma Liewen enter.

Previously, when he bought the house, he had received a call from Ma Liewen saying that he wanted to bring someone over and even asked him to help prepare some okra. He did not expect the other party to come without saying anything.

When ordinary people like them didn't have time for this wine, rich people like Ma Liewen should understand, right? Wasn't that what happened in television dramas? Rich people often had 1982 Lafite and tasted wine with all kinds of logic.

Ma Liewen was still holding a bottle of medicinal honey water. There were three other people behind him, two women and a man. They were also holding the medicinal honey water. They were probably the people Ma Liewen had said he would bring.

He couldn't tell the exact ages of the two women. After all, the rich had taken good care of themselves, but they were both in good shape and beautiful. They also had a special aura. One of them was carrying a child.

The man looked a little ordinary, but he had an aura that was incompatible with ordinary people.

"Hubby, is this the Boss Qin you were talking about?" Chu Qing went forward and held Ma Liewen's arm, looking at Qin Lin curiously.

She usually went online and scrolled through Douyin. She had also seen the video of this villa's triangular sea of flowers, but she was more curious about what her husband had brought back previously.

She had also pulled strings to look for those things. They were of the same special breed and had some effects, but the effects were not as good as what her husband had brought back.

This made her curious about Boss Qin, who provided these things, but she realized that he was too young.

At this moment, Ma Liewen also introduced them to Qin Lin. "Boss Qin, this is my wife, Chu Qing. The two behind are Mr. Li Qing and his wife, Lin Liu."

Qin Lin looked at Chu Qing, who was beside Ma Liewen. When he thought about it, he knew that this Mr. Ma indeed needed a Grade 2 okra to marry a beautiful wife who was more than 10 years younger than him. Not only could he not control himself at this age, but he also could not last long, right?

If he didn't nourish himself now, he would cry over a divorce in another 10 years, right?

Qin Lin thought to himself and said to Ma Liewen, "Mr. Ma, try this medicinal wine first." Then, he winked at him. "This wine has the same effect as the special quality okra."

Ma Liewen was immediately interested. "Boss Qin, hurry up and give me a cup of this medicinal wine."

Qin Lin smiled and poured a small cup for him.

Ma Liewen took the wine. It tasted spicy as soon as he drank it. It tasted so much worse than anything he'd ever drunk before. Or none of the expensive medicinal wines he'd ever drunk had tasted so bad.

However, he did not question Qin Lin's words.

The effect of this medicinal wine was definitely not in the texture.

Sure enough, after a moment, he realized that his blood was flowing smoothly in his body, and the trace of warmth surging in his waist.

This wine was indeed not simple.

Ma Liewen immediately asked, "Boss Qin, how much wine do you have? Are you selling it to the public?"

"Mr. Ma, are you able to tell the age of this wine?" Qin Lin smiled and made up a story. "I'm still planning to organize an event today. I'll give this bottle to whoever can accurately judge the age of this wine."

He did not say that he did not know the age either. This made it seem like he was giving someone else a test.

When Ma Liewen heard this, he panicked and said, "Boss Qin, if you give me 10- or 20-year-old medicinal wine, I can tell if it's real or fake. After all, I've drunk a lot of wine of this age. But if you ask me to specify the age, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm not a professional sommelier."

These words made Qin Lin feel a little regretful. What happened to rich people tasting wine?

It seemed that television dramas were also lying.

It was Young Master Wang's fault for watching a rich second-generation heir's melodrama. He directly posted a selfie of himself drinking wine and wrote two big words: "Nonsense."

Ma Liewen was a little anxious, so he looked at Li Qing beside him. "Boss Qin, I want this bottle of wine. Mr. Li beside me is very knowledgeable about wine. There are only a few people in the entire Ming City who know more about wine than him. Li Qing, help me try it."

Li Qing was actually already very curious about this wine. Even if a person like Ma Liewen did not know much about bars, he could still differentiate between good and bad. For him to be in such a hurry, there must be a reason for this wine.

Naturally, he was more curious about the owner of the villa.

Previously, his wife had said that her colostrum had changed because she had eaten the okra. He did not believe that the okra had such a strong effect. Then, why were there many people still worried about this problem?

But after he ate the bit of okra that Ma Liewen had sent over, he realized that he seemed to be wrong.

The effect was really…

When husband and wife ate together, he could really add another blessing. It was double happiness.

"May I know who Mr. Li is?" Qin Lin asked politely.

He could hear a hint of politeness towards Li Qing in Ma Liewen's words, which meant that the other party's identity was definitely not simple.

"I'm just a sommelier. My hobby is to study wine occasionally." Li Qing smiled and said, "Boss Qin, do you mind letting me taste this wine?"

Qin Lin smiled and poured a cup for Li Qing. "Mr. Li, please!"

After Li Qing took the wine, he did not drink it directly. Instead, he put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Then, he brought it to his mouth and tasted it before closing his eyes.

That action was gentle as if it carried a special emotion. It was completely different from the feeling of Ma Liewen, Master Lin, and Chen Dabei drinking this wine.

It was no wonder that wine tasting was not just like drinking wine. One could only think of the wind and moon and not know the scriptures. It was like farming a cow and drinking from a canal.

After carefully tasting the wine, Li Qing said after a moment, "Boss Qin, let's not talk about the effects of this medicinal wine. I've already sensed that among the medicinal wine sources that I know of, the only ones that can have the effects of your medicinal wine are the secret medicinal wine from the two families of traditional Chinese medicine. It's just that the taste of your wine is far inferior to theirs."

"This medicinal wine must have been brewed by Cherokee roses and Myrtles. And it tastes very strange. It seems to be completely different from the ones used in these two medicinal herbs."

"As for the age, it should only have been settled for five to six months. The spiciness is still very strong…"

Qin Lin was really surprised.

How could he tell the difference between the materials of Cherokee roses and myrtles?

Professionals were indeed different from ordinary people. No matter which industry they were in, there seemed to be very deep knowledge.

What concerned him most, naturally, was the five to six months.

This confirmed his theory, which meant the time guess was right.

"Boss Qin, is Li Qing right?" Ma Liewen hurriedly asked, "If he's right, then this bottle of wine will belong to me?"

"This wine should belong to me." Li Qing suddenly said, "Boss Qin said that whoever could tell the age of the wine would get it. I was the one who tasted it, so the wine is naturally mine."

This wine had the same effect as the okra. A man definitely couldn't let it go.

"?" Ma Liewen was stunned.

That's bloody unethical!

Chapter 83

After confirming the age of the medicinal wine, Qin Lin invited Ma Liewen and the others to a table by the window and gave the bottle of wine to Li Qing. He also introduced the effects of replenishing blood, nourishing the kidneys, and treating frequent urination.

As soon as Li Qing sat down, he poured himself a small glass of wine and tasted it again.

Ma Liewen was also holding a cup. "Li Qing, pour me another cup."

No matter how expensive the medicinal wine was, he had drunk it before. However, there were very few medicinal wines that could improve his sexual happiness.

After downing another small glass, Ma Liewen asked Qin Lin anxiously, "Boss Qin, how much wine do you have? Are you selling it to the public?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, this wine isn't for sale for the time being. After all, there isn't much of it. However, if Mr. Ma needs it, I can make a trip tomorrow and bring another bottle over to sell to you."

Now that he knew the time rule worked, he was in no hurry to sell.

For one thing, the mountain goods hadn't been refreshed yet. Unlike the old version of the game, he still didn't know the refresh mechanism of the mountain goods.

Secondly, the longer the wine fermented, the more expensive it would be.

His new wine had this effect. He could definitely sell it for 1,000 yuan per catty.

If it could ferment for a year, he could sell it for 2,000 yuan.

If it could ferment for 20 years and enter the mature phase of the wine, the price would be difficult to determine.

It was said that the price of a bottle of 20-year-old wine was tens of thousands of yuan.

...

Although his wine was not as famous, it had a real effect.

"That's good!" Ma Liewen's face was full of smiles. Then, he pulled Qin Lin to the side and said, "Boss Qin, I won't come to you for no reason this time. How's the matter I asked you to do previously?"

"Mr. Ma, I've already agreed on the phone, so I naturally have to do my best to help you prepare. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to this." Qin Lin smiled. In any case, he could say whatever he wanted. After all, the item was in the game.

Ma Liewen said embarrassedly, "Boss Qin, can you get more? I'm actually here to accompany Li Qing this time. His wife has just given birth and there aren't enough children. Your special quality okra has this effect, and the effect is very obvious."

"Alright, I'll try to get as much as I can tomorrow and bring it over with the wine." Qin Lin nodded after knowing the reason for Ma Liewen's visit. Then, he asked curiously, "Mr. Ma, what does Mr. Li do? You seem to be very polite to him."

Ma Liewen smiled. "He's a wonderful man, but he can't do business because of his father and brother. He doesn't want to go the way of his father and brother. He has to be a freewheeling idler. Just think of him as a sommelier."

Ma Liewen didn't explain much, but Qin Lin wasn't a fool. He could guess what was going on.

What kind of idler could make a tycoon like Ma Liewen so polite? That was probably because his father and brother were not simple.

At this moment, Ma Liewen walked to the fish pond. "Boss Qin, you're such a big shot. Give us one and arrange the rest."

Qin Lin smiled and nodded. He went to the side and made arrangements.

After Ma Liewen sat down again, he said to Li Qing, "Boss Qin is very easy to talk to. He promised to get as many special quality okras as possible."

"Old Ma, this Boss Qin is truely as capable as you said." Li Qing smiled and nodded. "Whether it's this special quality okra, that kind of Xiangshui Tribute Rice, this medicinal honey water, or this wine, ordinary people can't get so many good things."

Ma Liewen nodded. "That goes without saying. It's much better than that gold and jade luxury of Li Fei's. At least I don't have to pay an IQ tax."

Li Qing smiled and said, "I don't think gold and jade luxury items are ineffective, but the special variety of okra he found is indeed inferior to Boss Qin's."

Soon.

The fish came up.

This was the first time Li Qing, Chu Qing, and Lin Liu had eaten such wild goods, so they were naturally very satisfied.

Ma Liewen had eaten nearly another 10,000 yuan for this lunch.

After the meal, he also took Li Qing and the two women to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea to watch.

Qin Lin curiously searched for Li Qing's name on the Internet.

There was no relevant information online.

However, there was an official in the city whose surname was Li.

Qin Lin didn't continue investigating. Such a person was worth interacting with, but it wouldn't be good to probe too much without revealing his identity.

Just treat him as a sommelier.

...

The next day.

Qin Lin woke up early in the morning and looked at the game on the screen in his mind again. Then, he collected mature crops and planted new seeds. Finally, he controlled the game character to pick the refreshed honey.

However, the mountain goods did not refresh again. It seemed that the refresh of this version of Mount Notre Dame goods was random.

Zhao Moqing woke up and saw that Qin Lin was already awake. She wrapped h34 arms around Qin Lin's neck and said, "Hubby, Mom and I will go and make arrangements for another day today. We can move."

"Does that mean I won't have to endure it anymore? I remember that the bed over there is very big." Qin Lin looked at Zhao Moqing with an evil expression. His hands wrapped around her waist.

After fooling around with Zhao Moqing, Qin Lin got up to wash up and drove the blue truck to the warehouse.

The items obtained from the game in the morning were: 850 catties of okra, 350 catties of yam, 300 catties of broccoli, 580 catties of strawberries, 90 catties of wild honey, 60 watermelons, 25 watermelons, and 35 wild fish.

If it had been the previous tricycle, it would definitely have had to be shipped in batches. Now, the blue truck could be shipped to the villa in one trip.

This time, Qin Lin drove the truck into the warehouse and closed the door. He got into the truck and entered the game. When his palm touched something, he could move it into the truck with a thought. It was much faster than before.

As noon approached, he entered the game again and came out with fifteen pounds of Quality 2 okra and a bottle of medicinal wine. That was a promise to Ma Liewen.

The four of them arrived quickly. They had also spent the night at the Central Hotel last night. This morning, they had even gone to visit the Zhuzi Cultural Garden.

"Mr. Li, this is 15 catties of a special variety of okra." Qin Lin put down the okra and took out another bottle of wine. "Mr. Li, taste the wine today."

This piqued Li Qing's interest.

He had tasted the wine yesterday. If he took it out again today, it meant that this wine was different.

As Qin Lin spoke, he had already poured a cup for Li Qing.

Li Qing took the wine and tasted it carefully again. After a long time, he said, "Boss Qin, this wine tastes even better. It's less spicy and more mellow. It should have been fermented for about a year."

"Mr. Li, I'm impressed." Qin Lin gave him a thumbs up.

But Li Qing looked at Ma Liewen and said, "You're in luck. I should have given you that bottle yesterday."

When Ma Liewen heard this, he held the bottle in front of him in a hurry. This guy hadn't talked about morals yesterday. He couldn't give him another chance.

In the afternoon, Qin Lin sent Ma Liewen and the others off. However, Li Qing also asked for his contact information before leaving. He would probably come to the villa again in the future.

When he returned to the villa, there was nothing to do for the time being. He focused his attention on his mind and controlled the game character to explore the map. As soon as he entered Ore Town Park, he found a few NPCs discussing in front of a noticeboard:

[The spring mine north of town is open…]

[There seems to be a lot of good stuff there…]

Chapter 84

[The spring mine north of town is open. You can go there and see. You might find something!]

Qin Lin controlled his game character to the announcement panel and received a notification.

A few old versions of Ranches Story had a specialty. Many players did not grow vegetables or raise livestock. They only worked in the mines.

A lot of things could be excavated on every level of the mine. From small things like gold, silver, and copper, to big things like special fruits and flying stones that were slightly fantastical. The higher the level, the better the things dug up.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to leave the town. He returned to the ranch, took the excavation tools, and headed straight for Spring Mine.

Previously, he had controlled the game character to come to this mine to take a look. However, it was not open and he could not enter.

This time, the game character went straight into the mine.

With anticipation, Qin Lin began to control the game character to dig in the mine.

In this new version of the mobile game, the mine could only be excavated in the open space. Where there were rocks, he had to break the rocks to dig.

Qin Lin spent half a day digging through the empty area. Not long after, he received a game notification.

[Congratulations on obtaining silver ore!]

…

[Congratulations on obtaining copper ore!]

Clearly, the ores in this mine were not difficult to dig. Unfortunately, these ores could not be taken out to be processed and could only be sold in the game. This increased the source of the game's gold coins.

Soon, the game character dug into the entrance to the second floor.

Qin Lin tried to control the game character to enter the second floor and received another notification:

[Current character level cannot enter the next level!]

Qin Lin frowned slightly.

Was that a limitation?

The new mobile version restricted entry everywhere compared to several older versions.

However, although this would reduce a lot of freedom, there was an additional way to unlock and level up.

For a player, this kind of unlocking and upgrading would naturally be more fun and fulfilling.

However, if Qin Lin had known that he would obtain this system, he would have played the old version back then. Wouldn't it have taken off long ago?

The key was that there were no ifs. If he had known that he would obtain this system, why would he play Ranches Story? If he had directly played Dragon Ball Super, wouldn't he have broken the universe now?

He hadn't dug anything in the clearing, so he couldn't enter the next level. He could only control the game character to smash those rocks with a hammer before controlling the game character to dig.

As soon as he broke the first stone and dug, a notification appeared in the game:

[Congratulations on obtaining an ordinary Mystic Stone Slab. Do you want to crack the information on it?]

"Mystic Stone Slab?" Qin Lin looked surprised.

The Mystic Stone Slab was a prop that appeared in some versions of Ranches Story.

There was a lot of information recorded on the stone slab, such as the location of some special formulas or things.

However, in this new version of the mobile game, the Mystic Stone Slab seemed to be divided into levels. If there were ordinary Mystic Stone Slabs, there must be higher-level ones.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to crack the information on the stone slab.

[Decoding the Mystic Stone Slab…]

After a while, he received another prompt:

[Congratulations on obtaining a special formula: The technique to make ketchup!]

Qin Lin did not expect to get such a thing.

Everyone knew how to make ketchup. It was a common thing in life, even one of the essentials for many homes and restaurants.

But what was the use of this thing? After all, there were so many ketchup brands online, and many home edition ketchup recipes were directly released online.

Some home versions could be made with the tools at home. It was just that the recipes were different and the ketchup produced tasted different.

However, the game had added the word 'secret recipe'. Qin Lin was more or less looking forward to this.

It couldn't be that the products of the game were the same as those common recipes in life!

Thinking of this, Qin Lin entered the game again and saw the specific information about the ketchup recipe.

[Ketchup Recipe Technique: Quality 1]

[This is a secret recipe technique for ketchup. It records a delicious recipe for ketchup. After research done by the game itself, it's very delicious. It can make Quality 1 ketchup that's sweet, sour, and spicy. It can suit everyone's taste.]

The way the information was noted seemed different from that of crops and fish. Moreover, no specific data was displayed.

As he was thinking, another message appeared in his mind:

[You can obtain specific formula content after using it. Do you want to use it?]

Qin Lin decisively chose to use it.

In an instant, pieces of information appeared in his mind out of thin air and were deeply engraved in his mind. It was as if he had made this tomato sauce countless times.

It was a wonderful feeling.

That information was the secret recipe for ketchup, including the exact proportions of the ingredients and various ingredients.

To be precise, there were two secret recipes. They were sour, sweet, and spicy, taking into account different tastes.

After obtaining the recipe for the tomato sauce, Qin Lin also quit the game. When he reached the hall, he called Zhao Moqing. "Moqing, help me buy some things… Tomato, white sugar, lemon, pepper… and three herbs…"

Hearing Qin Lin report a bunch of materials, Zhao Moqing asked in surprise, "Qin Lin, are you going to make ketchup?"

Qin Lin said, "Yes, help me buy some brands of tomato sauce too."

Although Zhao Moqing was puzzled about what Qin Lin wanted to do, she quickly brought back what Qin Lin needed, including tools like a casserole.

Qin Lin quickly went out to help. He brought those things to the courtyard at the back and even got Chen Dabei to move a table over.

He couldn't make ketchup in public like that at the bar.

Chen Dabei naturally did whatever his boss ordered him to do. In any case, he never understood what his boss was up to.

However, Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei, "Connect the electric heat under the casserole. I want to use it later."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei immediately went to look for an outlet.

Qin Lin also began to operate the materials on the table. First, he had to peel the tomatoes. He had to steam the tomatoes and control the time.

After that, there was the ratio of various ingredients. In order to be precise, Qin Lin especially went to the bar to find a light weighing device. He had to be precise.

Zhao Moqing was helping at the side and asked with a puzzled expression, "Qin Lin, why do you suddenly want to make ketchup?"

Actually, she had made ketchup before. In the past, she had made the home version with her roommates in the dormitory.

She had never seen Qin Lin do this before, but he looked very familiar with it.

The key was that she did not know that there were three kinds of medicinal herbs that could be used to make ketchup. Moreover, the proportions were even weighed. Wasn't that too particular?

After spending some time preparing, Chen Dabei connected the electric heat under the casserole and entered the boiling process.

This process was also carefully controlled. It took half a day to make a serving of ketchup, then put it in a bottle to cool and ferment for half an hour.

When the ketchup was completely made, Qin Lin let Zhao Moqing and Chen Dabei try it. "Try it."

They both brought over a small spoon and tasted it.

"Eh!" Chen Dabei was surprised. "Boss, your ketchup seems to taste better than the one at KFC I ate before."

He wasn't complimenting his boss's cooking. It was indeed delicious.

"Qin Lin, your tomato sauce is really delicious." Zhao Moqing also praised sincerely, "Is it because of the ingredients?"

She hadn't even thought about putting some of the ingredients he'd bought together to make ketchup. And it tasted so good.

Chapter 85

When Qin Lin heard their evaluation, he instructed Chen Dabei, "Get Master Lin to get some fried potato chips."

Chen Dabei nodded and immediately ran to the kitchen.

Chips were also served with tomato sauce. It was like KFC and McDonald's… It was a common way to eat at such places.

Fried chips weren't hard to make either. With a few potatoes, every chef could easily make them.

Previously, Qin Lin had asked Zhao Moqing to buy ketchup from other brands, and Zhao Moqing had bought five types.

Qin Lin asked Zhao Moqing to get a few small plates. He opened the ketchup and placed them on the small plates before writing numbers on them.

Zhao Moqing seemed to have guessed Qin Lin's motive. He wanted to use this ketchup as a comparison. Moreover, Qin Lin's ketchup seemed to really taste better than those brands.

She moved aside to prepare as well.

Qin Lin took the opportunity to enter the game with some of his homemade ketchup. Due to the special nature of the game system, he immediately saw the attributes of the ketchup.

[Unknown Tomato Ketchup: Quality 1]

[This is sour-sweet ketchup made with a special recipe that tastes excellent. Taste +1. Delicious +1. It promotes appetite +1. It can be named.]

Qin Lin didn't expect the tomato sauce he made to have so many attributes. The texture, taste, and appetite were all +1.

In other words, it was not necessary for the system to produce it. What was made outside could also reach the level of Quality 1.

This was like a Quality 1 watermelon. In his fruit shop, there were always a few sweeter and more delicious watermelons (Chapter 1). It was just that there were few of them.

Qin Lin exited the game and returned to the hall. Zhao Moqing had already finished preparing the ketchup.

After Chen Dabei came out with a plate of potato chips, Qin Lin called Gao Yaoyao over. "Let's try and see which one of these ketchup tastes better."

"Okay, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao nodded. She took the potato chips and dipped them into the ketchup.

After tasting all six, she pointed to a ketchup. "The other five ketchup tastes similar, but I think this one's better."

Qin Lin looked at Zhao Moqing, who nodded at him. He had made this.

Even though it was expected, he still smiled and said to Gao Yaoyao, "Help me find some tourists to try it."

Gao Yaoyao suggested, "Boss, should we give the tourists a small gift like some fruits? Otherwise, it'll be too abrupt."

Qin Lin nodded. "Sure, cut two special watermelons!"

"Yes, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao replied and called a waiter over to help.

Not long after.

Gao Yaoyao gave him a set of data.

She had let 30 tourists try, 25 of whom chose the ketchup he made, probably because of their personal tastes. 5 chose the other ketchup brands.

Even so, it meant that the secret recipe for the game was still very popular.

Presumably, the sour and spicy flavor would be pretty popular too.

Qin Lin suddenly asked Zhao Moqing, "Moqing, since this tomato sauce is so delicious, how about we make a tomato sauce brand? Shall we call it Qinglin Tomato Sauce?"

It had come to him on a whim. The ketchup was a daily fixture. Many homes and restaurants required it, and because of that, ketchup had become a big slice of the cake.

For example, Tasty Foods Co., one of the top 10 food companies, earned 37.7 billion yuan a year in their country, and ketchup accounted for a large portion of that.

But his formula was now more delicious than theirs.

Maybe this ketchup was the first thing he'd gotten from the game that could be marketed on a grand scale.

Zhao Moqing thought for a moment and said, "Qin Lin, your tomato sauce is delicious, but the formula for this isn't easy to keep a secret, right? What if someone cracked it?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about that at all. Before it becomes popular, no one will notice it at all, let alone crack it. But once it becomes popular, we will sell its reputation and packaging."

"Do you really think that the ketchup from the top 10 brands will definitely taste better than the ketchup from all the smaller brands? Besides, it won't take long for this secret recipe to be cracked. As long as our reputation is consolidated, most people will only recognize our brand."

"If you're really worried about that kind of problem, many of the bosses won't make a fortune. Besides, we have a good channel to lean on now, our mountain villa."

Zhao Moqing nodded with a smile and went forward to hug Qin Lin's arm. "Then can you teach me how to make this tomato sauce? I'll make some for home and give some to Jiawen. She really likes tomato sauce."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Let's go. There's also a sour and spicy taste. Let's try it."

For the next few days.

The project at the villa was going well. The river channel for the rafting project had already begun to clear the stones from the river and detect dangerous areas.

The 100 acres of the comprehensive sea of flowers were also built. The construction site was also surrounded.

The creation of this comprehensive sea of flowers could only be done in stages. During the planting of various seedlings, many auxiliary facilities had to be set up.

The other thing was the wedding room and restaurant expansion project. They were already building the foundation. This was also the project that took the most time.

The dining room was closest to the current hall. The main hall was not made of cement stone, but specially made bamboo with wooden materials. The top would also be made of vintage tile.

The consummation project was the same as it had been designed at the beginning. There were not many of them. It was just to supplement the facilities at the villa. There was no need to snatch the money for the accommodation from the county.

How much tourists spent in the county would depend on the county itself.

When the time came, they would take the high-end route. The price would be more expensive than other hotels in Youcheng County. Naturally, it would not be just a monotonous bridal chamber. There was also a small area in front that was surrounded by flower beds.

This area was also equipped with a special stove and grill so that tourists could enjoy a separate space.

Simply put, it was an upgraded version of enjoyment on the basis of a buffet barbecue and a buffet restaurant.

The ranch on the other side was also starting work. The area was not small. When the time came, it would be good to raise some chickens, ducks, and geese at the ranch. He could also raise some cows, sheep, and horses. A fixed grazing every day would be just nice to interact with tourists and increase the fun.

Qin Lin even wondered if he should build a horse farm. After all, Ranches Story could raise horses and horse racing.

However, all of this required time and could not be done overnight.

Overall, the expansion of the villa was on the right track.

Qin Lin wasn't idle either. Apart from planning to mass-produce ketchup for sale, he was also moving.

His mother and Zhao Moqing had already decorated the new house these days.

His mother had called Uncle Dalin and Uncle Shuigen last night to inform them. When she called, she never stopped smiling.

That must have been her proudest moment!

Qin Lin didn't hold any housewarming ceremony. There was no need to beat gongs, beat drums, or fire firecrackers.

He did not want to trouble others. He found it troublesome himself.

He would just invite the people who had helped him to a meal. He did not want to spread the word.

Now, many people in the village and those two uncles probably thought that his family was still in the same state and was in debt.

In life, one could meet many people. There was really no need to force one to befriend everyone. It was fine as long as one maintained those who were good to one.

Even if they had friends all over the world, it was better to have one or two close friends.

Chapter 86

In Qin Lin's new home, Zhao Moyun and his family had long arrived. There were also Qin Dalin, Qin Ergen, and others. Initially, they had received a call from Lin Fen last night and brought their wives over early this morning to see if there was anything they could help with. Unexpectedly, Qin Lin had no intention of organizing the relocation ceremony.

Lin Fen walked up to Qin Lin and asked, "Qin Ren and the others aren't here yet?"

Qin Lin explained, "Daren is already on his way here."

"Yes." Lin Fen nodded, remembering something. "By the way, your Uncle Dashan will also bring Qin Long over."

"Qin Long?" Qin Lin was stunned for a moment. "He's out?"

Lin Fen explained, "Even if it was a righteous act, he performed well inside and came out early. If Qin Long needs help, help him if you can. Your Uncle Dashan helped us before."

"I understand, Mom." Qin Lin nodded.

Qin Long was five years older than him and Qin Ren. Although they had not interacted much, the impression he had of Qin Long was that he was a very honest person.

But the honest man went to jail instead.

That seemed to involve a story of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

…

Qin Ren drove into Youcheng County's First Class district.

His fiancée, Liao Li, and his parents were also in the car.

...

Qin Shuigen looked at the neighborhood and sighed. "Xiao Lin is really something. Not only did he help his family pay back the money, but he also bought a house so quickly." As he spoke, he even looked at his son, Qin Ren. "When we were young, we lived in an old house, dug out eggs together, and went into the river together. Why did Xiao Lin get into a key university while you got into a third-tier university?"

"Dad, I want to know too." Qin Ren said with a puzzled expression, "You said that Lin Zi always told me that he didn't do well in the exams and didn't revise. I thought that we could go through thick and thin together, but every time after the exams, you would take off your belt and beat me up. He would watch while eating."

"Pfft!" Liao Li couldn't help but laugh.

She obviously didn't expect her fiancé to have the same experience as her. It was the same with her deskmate. They played together all the time, but the other party always scored in the top few while she was always at the bottom.

After parking the car, they arrived at the building where Qin Lin's new house was. Qin Shuigen saw two familiar people and immediately greeted, "Dashan, you just arrived too?"

"Shuigen!" Qin Dashan also greeted Qin Shuigen with a smile.

Qin Ren walked to the young man in surprise. "Qin Long, when did you come out? Why didn't you say anything?"

"It's not like it's something glorious." Qin Long sighed, feeling a little complicated. After all, that would forever be a stain on his life. It had already had a huge impact on his life.

Qin Shuigen also looked at Qin Long. "Xiao Long, don't be so impulsive in the future."

"Uncle Shuigen, I know." Qin Long nodded.

The group chatted as they entered the building. When they arrived at Qin Lin's new house, they pressed the doorbell.

When Qin Lin heard the doorbell, he opened the door and saw Qin Ren and the others. His face lit up. "Uncle Shuigen, Uncle Dashan, you're here. Come in quickly."

"Lin Zi, congratulations!" Qin Ren said with a smile.

"Qin Lin, congratulations!" Qin Long also said. He looked at the commotion inside the door and the spacious and bright house. He was obviously a little envious.

People five years younger than him were already doing so well, but this was his situation.

However, he could more or less cheer himself up. No matter how bad his situation was, it couldn't be worse than Qin Lin's debt of hundreds of thousands before he graduated from university, right?

Now that everyone was here, Lin Fen brought the dishes to the two large tables in the hall. "Everyone, sit," he said.

Qin Dalin sat down and helped open the steamed rice. Then, he said in surprise, "Sister-in-law Lin Fen, what rice is this? It smells so good!"

Others naturally smelled this mellow fragrance.

This piqued everyone's curiosity.

Lin Fen said proudly, "A special kind of rice. Xiao Lin bought it especially to let everyone enjoy it."

"Auntie, then I want to eat one more bowl." Qin Ren smiled and got himself a bowl. After taking two bites, he said in surprise, "F*ck, this rice can be so delicious?"

Other than Zhao Moyun's family, who had eaten the Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice, the others were equally surprised.

This rice was really delicious.

"Would either of you like a drink?" Lin Fen asked as she set another bottle on the table. "Xiao Lin said drinking is bad for the health, so he only prepared one bottle."

"I was wondering why there was no wine. Let me try this wine." Qin Dalin smiled and picked up the wine. He opened it and poured himself a glass. After a moment, he said in surprise, "This wine is very delicious."

"Let me try it." Qin Shuigen poured herself a cup and said in surprise, "It's very delicious. It shouldn't be new."

Listening to the two of them, the others picked up their wine and poured it into glasses to taste.

"It really tastes good."

"Not as spicy as I thought."

Qin Lin had an expected expression. According to the time, this wine was almost three years old, so it was naturally better than ordinary new wine. However, the value of this wine was not in its taste, but in its additional attributes.

As expected.

In a moment, everyone felt their blood flow smoothly. There was a warm feeling at their waists. Another wave of surprise flooded them.

At this moment, Qin Lin also poured himself a cup and said to Qin Shuigen, Qin Dalin, and the others, "Uncles, let's cut to the chase. I, Qin Lin, thank you for helping us in our most difficult time. I, Qin Lin, will remember this in my heart. Let me toast everyone."

"Xiao Lin, why are you saying this? We're all from the same hometown, so it's only right for us to help each other!" Qin Shuigen smiled and said to the others, "Then let's have a toast with Lin Zi."

The others picked up their cups in agreement.

"Come, come, have a toast with Lin Zi!"

"Here's to you, Lin Zi!"

"…"

Lin Fen was relieved to see this scene. She wanted to tell her deceased husband that her son was already the pillar of this family and could take on the responsibility of this family.

Then, Qin Lin poured himself another glass of wine and toasted Zhao Xianhong and Chen Xiao. "Dad, Mom, I was ignorant previously and made you unhappy with Moqing. Thank you for forgiving me. Here's a toast to you."

"Child, we're all family. Why are you talking about this?" Chen Xiao hurriedly said. She was getting more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, Qin Lin.

…

The meal lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Everyone left one after another, leaving only Qin Ren's family and Qin Dashan and his father.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qin Dashan asked Qin Lin in embarrassment, "Xiao Lin, do you still need anyone's help at your villa? You know Xiao Long's situation. After he came out, he found a few jobs but no one wanted him. His life is ruined. If you need people, just arrange a job for him."

Qin Long frowned and said, "Dad, I can handle my own matters."

"Can you handle something like this? For a woman, your life ended up like this," Qin Dashan said angrily. He looked at Qin Lin again, feeling a little embarrassed.

In this case, it was actually very easy to misunderstand that he was blackmailing him.

But for his disappointing son, he could only swallow his pride.

Qin Long looked at his father and was abnormally conflicted. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid of angering his father. He knew that his matters had not made his family less worried.

Lin Fen also looked at Qin Lin, clearly wanting her son to help him.

After all, the other party was not rich either. He even lent them 10,000 yuan during his family's most difficult time.

"Uncle Dashan, I'll have a chat with Brother Long later," Qin Lin said with a smile.

He knew that society would face a lot of unfairness after it had a criminal record. Even if he was doing a good deed, no boss had the time to verify it. The best way was not to do anything.

Uncle Dashan had done his family a favor. Since the other party had already asked, he would definitely help. However, how to help was a problem.

"Alright, Xiao Lin, have a good chat with Lin Zi. He's more promising than you. Listen to him more." Qin Dashan's face also revealed joy.

A moment later.

Qin Lin brought Qin Ren and Qin Long to the other tea table.

Tea brewing was a special culture among Southerners, especially in the province. Tea culture could be said to have seeped into the bones. Everything from tea sets to water quality to the consumption of various tea types was extremely particular. There probably weren't many people better at this than the people of the province.

Nowadays, talking about business was often the mainstream. When a business was settled, it was as if they would not stop until they had drunk someone into the hospital. Usually, when they drank, they would greet them with a smile and curse behind their backs.

The people of the province, however, were often able to whittle away an afternoon over tea, and then strike a deal in the process.

Personally, Qin Lin felt that this was worthy of admiration.

Drinking too much was bad for the body, after all. Naturally, that might be why he didn't understand the culture of drinking.

Qin Lin brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Qin Ren and Qin Long before asking Qin Long, "Brother Long, you're five years older than me, so I won't be careless. It's only right for our families to help each other. Although Uncle Dashan said that, do you have any thoughts?"

To be honest, he did not want his friends and family to enter his villa. Firstly, it was not easy to manage them. Secondly, it was actually difficult to treat everyone equally psychologically. It would be fine if he met someone smart and willing, but he would be angered to death if he met an old fox.

Most importantly, he was in the service industry. It was true that Qin Long was honest, but he was also a boring person. To be honest, it was not suitable for him to do this. If he were to casually arrange a job, it would be embarrassing too.

The key was that he had to understand Qin Long's own thoughts first.

Qin Long shook his head and said, "What's the use of thinking about it? In my current situation, I'll be despised no matter where I go. Qin Lin, if I don't trouble you, tell my father that you have already arranged work for me. I'll comfort my father and tell him the truth when I find a way."

Qin Lin smiled. They were both young people, and at Qin Long's awkward age, he definitely wouldn't come to his villa to work in the service industry.

However, he had an idea of how to help Qin Long.

At the side, Qin Ren began to gossip. He suddenly teased Qin Long, "By the way, Brother Long, have you gone to look for that woman? She should be so touched that she threw herself into your arms, right?"

Qin Lin was also tempted by this topic and looked at Qin Long curiously.

Back then, Qin Long went in because of a gathering. There was a drunkard who behaved imprudently toward the girl he had a crush on. How could he tolerate it? He went up to stop him and accidentally made him fall until he had to be hospitalized.

Just like that, Qin Long went in for half a year and left a criminal record.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, the matter between Qin Long and the girl must have succeeded.

Qin Long said, "I've looked for her. She's pregnant now."

Qin Ren was surprised. "Brother Long, not bad. You made her pregnant the moment you came out."

Qin Long said with a gloomy expression, "It's not mine. It's the drunk one. She said that the other party was just drunk that day and was in a bad mood, so he treated her as another person. When she came into contact with him, she realized that he was a good person. After that, they got together."

"…" Qin Lin.

"…!" Qin Ren.

That was quite a sad story.

They were suddenly glad that the girls they met were the right ones.

Qin Long's encounter was really unbelievable. Only such a melodramatic drama would happen, right? It actually happened to the people around him.

Qin Long sighed and said, "When I saw the other party pick her up in the Porsche, I also understood that I'm not worthy!"

"…" Qin Lin.

"…" Qin Ren.

It seemed a sadder story. Besides, this one was more realistic.

Chapter 87

After Qin Lin heard Qin Long's sad story, he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Brother Long, I have a project here. Do you want to hear it?"

"Okay!" Qin Long didn't refuse.

He did not interact much with Qin Lin, but he knew the other party's character from his elders. Since he had asked, he definitely wanted to help him. If there was a good project, he would not be pretentious.

Qin Lin also explained, "Brother Long, what do you think about a tomato planting project? I have a channel here, so you don't have to worry about sales."

He had checked the relevant information. The cost of tomatoes grown in ordinary farmland was about 300 to 400 yuan per acre. The rent for rural land in Youcheng County was about 400 yuan a year.

However, an acre could produce about 2,500 to 3,000 kilograms of tomatoes. Now, the wholesale price is on average 4 to 5 yuan per kilogram.

This was definitely highly profitable.

Naturally, investing in the preservation of agricultural products, channels, disaster risks, and sales channels was a huge problem, especially for an inexperienced person.

Qin Long didn't expect Qin Lin to be talking about such a project. He thought for a moment and asked, "Qin Lin, are you sure there's no problem with the sales channel?"

He knew that agricultural products made money because the guy who drove the Porsche had invested in them. He had gotten the tinsel gardens and vineyards. Every year, tourists went to the other party to experience the joy of picking their own fruits.

It was one of the reasons she'd chosen that man.

She said she liked the idyllic life.

However, there were also many people in Youcheng County who made agricultural products. It was just that there were very few who made money because there were no good sales channels. Most of them had to endure a wave of middleman exploitation, and their profits were also very low.

...

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Brother Long, I won't hide it from you. That sales channel is me. I plan to set up a tomato sauce factory. When the time comes, I'll definitely collect tomatoes."

He was confident in the secret ketchup recipe he had obtained from the game. He also had the publicity channel that the mountain villa relied on. When the time came, he would probably need a lot of tomato ingredients.

Letting Qin Long plant tomatoes would not only help him, but he also did not have to let him enter his villa. It was the best of both worlds.

However, he did not make an absolute guarantee. Instead, he said to Qin Long, "Of course, I can't guarantee that my factory will definitely be popular. But even if I fail, I'll definitely accept your tomatoes for the first season. My villa still has a sales center to sell. Therefore, it's up to you now, Brother Long. Do you dare to trust me and take the risk?"

Qin Long was a little conflicted when he heard this.

This was clearly an opportunity, but it also depended on whether Qin Lin could build this factory.

This did involve a question of trust.

Qin Long finally said, "I'll go back and think about it."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded.

This kind of thing had to be considered carefully by ordinary people. Once it was done, it would cost at least 50,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan. This money was already a huge sum for ordinary people. It was really not something that could be decided rashly.

When the matter reached this point, it basically reached the end. Qin Lin turned to other topics. Most of them were about the interesting things that happened when he was young. Who hasn't had their pants and slippers washed away in the river when they were young? Who hadn't been chased by geese?

After Qin Long and Qin Ren left, Zhao Moqing also came up to help clear the tea table and asked, "Qin Lin, are you really planning to open a tomato sauce factory?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Didn't you already eat it? Our ketchup isn't bad."

"It's my first time running a factory, so I don't feel confident," Zhao Moqing said worriedly. "Why don't we start with a small workshop and try it out?"

Qin Lin said, "In the beginning, we can't make it too big, nor do we have the funds to do so. However, with the backing of the villa, it won't be to the extent of creating a small factory."

"Since you've decided, I'll support you." Although Zhao Moqing had expressed her stance, she was still a little worried. "Let's pack up and go to the villa. We'll make more sweet and sour tomato sauce and find more tourists to try it."

"Whatever you say." Qin Lin smiled as he pulled Zhao Moqing onto his thigh and kissed her on the mouth.

Zhao Moqing was being a little too careful, but a man needed such a woman to help him.

The more careful he was, the less likely he was to make a big mistake.

After tidying up the house, Qin Lin asked Zhao Moqing to drive him to the villa. She had not drunk just now.

When they arrived at the villa, Zhao Moqing immediately pulled Qin Lin into the backyard and started making ketchup.

Under Qin Lin's guidance, she personally made some sweet and sour tomato sauce and arranged for Gao Yaoyao to let the tourists try it.

Under the blind selection, the final result was that the ketchup she made tasted better than those brands.

Qin Lin had already gone online to search for relevant information. The surveillance of factories, especially food factories, was very strict. There were all kinds of documents and procedures.

After checking the information, he realized it was too much trouble.

If he wanted to start his own ketchup brand from scratch, just the procedures and various documents required by the food company would take a long time. The factory also had to meet the production requirements in a sanitary environment.

Therefore, the best and fastest way was to acquire a food factory with all kinds of documents and procedures. All he had to do was buy it and change the property rights. It would be best if there was a ketchup production project originally.

Thinking of this, he began to check if there were any food factories for sale in the county. He realized that there were actually two that were for sale. They were all small factories and met his initial usage requirements.

There were many such small factories in the county city, so naturally, more of them closed down.

He looked at the information on the two factories and was even more surprised to find that one of them happened to have a full production line for ketchup. The label was brand new, and it was 70% off. The factory was still being sold for 1.5 million yuan.

This made him curious. They had already bought new equipment. Logically speaking, they should have the intention to develop it. Why did they choose to sell the factory?

Moreover, according to the factory's information, 1.5 million yuan seemed a little cheap.

There was definitely a problem with this.

Qin Lin could take out 1.5 million yuan now. The villa's daily turnover was more than 400,000 yuan.

When he saw this message, he also took out his phone and dialed the number.

Whatever was going on with this factory, he had to take a look. If it was suitable, he could buy it directly and save a lot of time.

After contacting the other party, Qin Lin realized that the other party was very anxious.

...

There was a specialized industrial area in Youcheng County. To the west of the county city, it was originally a small town. Now, there were factories built all around. It was impossible for there to be large factories in such a place. They were all small factories.

The moment Qin Lin arrived, he called the other party. A moment later, he saw a haggard-looking man in his 50s walking out with his phone. "Are you President Qin?"

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My name is Wang Xin. I'm the owner of this factory. President Qin, let me show you the environment of the factory first. There are also various property rights certificates, procedures, and pass certificates?"

"Okay!" Qin Lin did not refuse and followed the man into the factory.

The factory was not very large, with only two production lines. Apart from that, there was an area that was still empty. From the looks of it, it was clearly reserved for future expansion. They had already made plans.

The brand-new equipment and follow-up plans did not look like they were going to sell the factory.

The employees on both production lines were still at work. One of them was making wafer cookies. The other was a newly opened ketchup line.

As Wang Xin walked, he did not forget to introduce, "President Qin, the production line of this tomato sauce is a four-head plunger tank. It can produce 1,000 to 1,200 bottles of 200g of tomato sauce per hour."

The employees looked more or less worried. It was obvious that they all knew that their boss was going to sell the factory.

Usually, those who could survive in the factory were those who could endure hardships and liked to be content with the current situation. The last thing they wanted was to run around and find a new job.

Qin Lin followed Wang Xin to look at the factory and various property rights documents.

He even took photos of these things and sent them to Chen Li for him to confirm. In the end, there were no problems. It was just that the factory had a loan. The brand new ketchup production line was bought with a loan. No wonder it was only sold for 1.5 million yuan.

After buying the factory, he still needed to take over those loans.

Qin Lin couldn't help but ask curiously, "President Wang, I'm very curious. You seem to have a plan for the follow-up of this factory. Why are you suddenly rushing the sale?"

When Wang Xin heard this, he sighed as if he was also looking for someone to confide in. He said, "President Qin, to be honest, I came from the countryside. When I was young, my family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. When I came to the city, I was always treated coldly. Therefore, after I had a child, I pampered him and didn't let him suffer like me."

"But who knew that this child wouldn't have a good character when he grew up? He refuses to live a good life after marrying a wife and only gave her 200,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. Then, he secretly fooled around with another woman outside. We have to give her a sum of money for a divorce and another 200,000 yuan as a betrothal gift if she comes back."

"It's bad enough that he's such a jerk, but he spends all his time hanging out with a bunch of bad friends. Some time ago, when he was drunk, he told me that he'd gotten into a fight and injured someone. I thought it was just an ordinary fight and was going to clean up after him, but the police came looking for him in the end."

"The other party didn't make a move at all. He had been passively slapped by my son and was even recorded by his companion the entire time. Now, the other party has identified the perforation of the eardrum and even made an appraisal report that affects hearing, ear pain, tinnitus, and tinnitus. He even sued the court for a million yuan in compensation. Otherwise, my son will go to jail. This person is still locked up inside."

"I only opened this factory a few years ago. All the money I earned was given to this bastard. The new production line of the factory was bought with a loan. In this situation, there's nothing I can do except selling the factory."

Qin Lin finally understood that President Wang had a fraudulent son.

To be honest, if they were fighting with each other, even if their eardrums were perforated, it would be too much to ask for a million yuan. The court would not accept it.

However, the person who was beaten up was clearly at a higher level. He did not retaliate even after his eardrums were pierced. This turned from a fight to an intentional injury.

Most importantly, President Wang's son had a companion. It was fine if he insisted on bringing up the nature of the gang. Coupled with the pain in his ears, tinnitus, and tinnitus, it would be a severe injury.

The key was that these symptoms were very difficult to determine. An eardrum perforation would cause these. If the person who was beaten said that there was one, the hospital would probably give an appraisal report.

In this case, wouldn't President Wang's son be finished?

Therefore, one should not be too arrogant or think that the entire world was his when he was drunk. Perhaps he had already become a walking million yuan in the eyes of others.

Chapter 88

"President Wang, I really don't know how to persuade you." Qin Lin could only shake his head at Wang Xin's story. He said, "I'm very satisfied with this factory. I plan to buy it."

At this moment, Wang Xin was not in a hurry to agree. "President Qin, I can sell you the factory, but I have a request. You can't fire the employees. As for management, I only have a factory manager. If you want… Forget it, I'll compensate him myself!"

He also knew that if a boss bought a factory, the factory director would most likely use his own people.

When Qin Lin heard Wang Xin's request, he thought for a moment and said, "President Wang, even if I buy a factory, I still have to produce things. I won't fire your employees unless they make a mistake. As for that factory manager, let me meet him!"

Since the factory wasn't running into problems, and there was no problem with the employees, then there was no reason not to want the ready-made skilled workers.

As for the factory director, he himself did not have a good candidate.

Now that this factory manager could make Wang Xin think of him under such circumstances, he was obviously a good person. He could be used for inspection first.

"Thank you, President Qin." Wang Xin thanked him sincerely. Then, he called a man in his early 40s over. "President Qin, his name is Deng Guang. He's the factory manager. Deng Guang, this is President Qin. I've decided to sell the factory to him."

Deng Guangliang looked at Qin Lin. He also knew the situation of his boss's family. He could only sigh and say, "President Qin, I'll help President Wang hand over the details of the factory to you later. If you want to continue using me, I'll work hard for you. I understand if you want to send someone over. After all, this position is very important. I won't make things difficult for you."

Qin Lin's first impression of Deng Guang was not bad. After some thought, he instructed, "Manager Deng, I'll go with President Wang to settle the procedures later. Help me tell those employees that after I buy the factory, I need everyone to add a confidentiality agreement. If they violate the confidentiality agreement, the compensation will be huge. If they're willing to keep it, they can keep it. If they're not, I won't force them."

The secret recipe for ketchup was not high-tech. It was easier to crack. Some security precautions had to be taken.

After that.

Qin Lin also signed the contract with President Wang and headed to the commercial property change center.

...

A change in the factory's property rights did not mean that the transaction would be completed after both parties signed a contract. Whether it was the factory's property rights or the use of the factory's property rights, they had to be reviewed by the relevant departments. Only when there were no problems could the transaction be carried out.

In those big cities, this series of processes would take a long time to complete. A small place like Youcheng County was very fast. It was done in the afternoon.

After the change review was approved, Qin Lin applied again to change the name of the factory to Qinglin Food Co. Ltd.

The following procedures would take some time, which had nothing to do with Wang Xin.

"President Qin, this factory is yours from now on. I wish you a prosperous business." When Wang Xin left, his expression was complicated. After all, it was a factory that he had built single-handedly. He had originally wanted to achieve great things.

He could only blame himself for not teaching his son well.

After that, Qin Lin went to the factory again.

Deng Guang was waiting to meet his new boss with about 20 employees from the factory when he arrived.

Deng Guang stepped forward and said, "President Qin, these employees are willing to stay and sign the confidentiality agreement."

Every employee looked a little uneasy. After all, if they changed bosses, they would have to sign a confidentiality agreement. However, they really didn't want to lose their jobs.

Qin Lin also knew what these employees were thinking, so he said, "Since everyone is willing to sign the confidentiality agreement and stay, I'll also tell everyone a piece of good news. After the confidentiality agreement is signed, everyone's salary will increase by 100 yuan. I'll also promise everyone that if you work hard, your salary will definitely increase in the future. If anyone tries to cheat, I won't accept it."

When the employees heard that their salaries could be increased by 100 yuan, their faces lit up.

Small-town workers were obviously easily satisfied.

Qin Lin continued, "Also, let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Lin. I own Qinglin Villa. In the future, the products produced by the factory will also be sold in Qinglin Villa."

These words finally surprised the employees, including Deng Guang.

"The new boss is the owner of Qinglin Villa?"

"I even went to Qinglin Villa during the holidays."

"My daughter has also been clamoring to go to Qinglin Villa to drink medicinal honey water."

"…"

Qinglin Villa was too popular in Youcheng County now. It was said that the county had given money to help Qinglin Villa expand.

For some reason, the entire factory staff seemed to be full of energy.

…

Over the next few days, the paperwork for the factory was completed.

Zhao Moqing knew that he had really bought another factory. He checked the various bills of the factory again and again before feeling at ease.

As for the villa, the medicinal honey water would be sold out every day, and the turnover had always been around 400,000 yuan.

However, the popularity of the online mountain villa no longer seemed to have increased significantly. This was a little different from what they had expected at the beginning.

At first, Qin Ren told him that if the villa blew up the flow pool, the popularity would definitely last for a long time. Which Internet celebrity who blew up the flow pool didn't easily get millions of fans?

However, his official account only had more than 900,000 fans. It did not even reach a million.

When he scrolled through the popular videos of long-legged women flirting on his phone, he seemed to understand something.

She seemed to be an Internet celebrity who had suddenly appeared and was already in the top three trending searches.

Chapter 89

This was clearly an official push from Douyin.

His villa was a scenic spot. After all, it was different from the fans of Internet celebrities.

Internet celebrities would shout hello to their fans, PK, and thank them, prepare benefits for them, and even bring goods to them at a loss.

These were all profits that could be brought to Douyin. After all, the profits were all split by Douyin.

Therefore, many netizens kept shouting that Internet celebrities like Lin Changmao would not be tolerated if they were not banned. Who knew that they would not be banned at all? This was because most of the chives cut by these people had gone into Douyin's pockets.

This was capital.

Now that Douyin was obviously trying to promote this promiscuous woman with her long legs, his villa naturally had to make way for the restricted flow. It was impossible for it to increase significantly.

If the villa wanted to continue to increase its popularity, it would either have to spend money to buy traffic or have something new to attract the attention of others.

Qin Lin put down his phone and walked towards the courtyard at the back.

He had no intention of getting involved in this popularity for the time being.

The villa had a limited capacity. When the popularity reached a certain level, no matter how high it was, he could only accommodate 1,500 people.

He entered the backyard.

He immediately walked towards the watermelon seedlings of the game seeds. The vines were already very dense, and they would probably bloom in a few days.

...

The triangular plum pot plant beside it was growing well, and the branches and flowers were also very perfect.

Next, he entered the large shed, where ordinary watermelon seedlings had been planted. The flowering period was 35 to 45 days.

After knowing the blooming time of the game seed, he would have to use the colchicine to change the seed seedling multiplier and calculate the two watermelon flower periods so that he could transplant and pollinate it.

In the end, when Qin Lin looked at the small artificial water field, he looked disappointed.

The Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds that the game took out did not germinate. Calculating the time, the germinating period had passed, which meant that this batch of seeds had failed to be planted.

It seemed that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was really harsh on the geography. No wonder only that small area could be planted.

This way, he could only replant the seeds.

He believed that if he kept trying like this, he would be lucky. There would always be seeds that would trigger the probability of adapting to the geographical environment.

Qin Lin returned to the hall and was about to enter the game to retrieve some Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds when he saw Qin Long walking in.

"Qin Lin." Qin Long walked forward when he saw Qin Lin.

"Have you thought it through?" Qin Lin asked.

Qin Long nodded and said, "Yes, I've thought about it and decided to do it. I originally had some savings and borrowed some from my friends these few days. My family also borrowed some money from the house and raised a total of 200,000 yuan."

"That's a lot of money. Aren't you afraid of losing it?" Qin Lin was surprised.

It was really impressive that Qin Long could find such a large sum of money. If he made a loss, the other party might not be able to get up for the rest of his life.

Qin Long said self-deprecatingly, "I carried a criminal record for a woman like that. If I don't give it a try, I won't even be qualified to have children. In the future, I'll first understand the relevant knowledge and learn the relevant technology before contracting the land. And now, I can only get a greenhouse to plant first."

"Of course, Qin Lin, I don't need you to back me up even if your factory doesn't succeed. Since I've decided to do it myself, I'll find my own channels. However, you can't go back on your promise to let me enter your villa's sales center."

"You have ambition." Qin Lin looked up to Qin Long. Moreover, the other party's worry was unnecessary. As long as he made a name for himself with this tomato sauce, he could easily eat Qin Long's 200,000 yuan tomato garden.

However, he didn't back Qin Long up. It was good that the other party had such strength. Only with this strength could he succeed.

If he made a move, he might even hold him back.

Qin Long and Qin Lin chatted for a while before leaving. Since Qin Long had decided to do it, he still had many things to deal with.

With the channel of the villa sales center that Qin Lin had agreed to, he already had some confidence. After all, Qinglin Villa was a live advertisement. If others knew that his tomatoes were sold in Qinglin Villa, it would definitely be easier to negotiate with others.

That was the name of a man and the shadow of a tree.

Naturally, the premise was that he had to do things well himself. If he did, that would be an opportunity. If he didn't, that would be a waste of an opportunity.

After Qin Lin sent Qin Long off, his phone rang. It was Deng Guang.

When he answered, Deng Guang's surprised voice came through. "President Qin, the finished product of the new tomato sauce is out. The finished product tastes very good this time."

After receiving this news, Qin Lin was overjoyed and immediately drove to the factory.

The secret recipe for ketchup had been given by the game, but it was not as simple as producing it manually using an assembly line. One had to control the time, ratio, and even the temperature and time of each step.

Over the past few days, Deng Guang had been bringing people to debug and had already produced a few finished products. However, the taste was not right and they did not reach the standard of Quality 1.

The factory had already hung the sign 'Qinglin Food Co. Ltd'.

When Qin Lin arrived at the factory, Deng Guang immediately walked up with a small bowl of ketchup and a few biscuits. "President Qin, try it. It tastes really good this time."

Qin Lin picked up the biscuit and dipped it in. He placed it in his mouth and tasted it. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.

This tasted right.

Qin Lin immediately instructed Deng Guang, "Old Deng, give me a few copies of the finished product. Then, send it to the Quality Inspection Bureau for inspection immediately."

For food to be produced and sold, a quality inspection had to be completed.

Product quality inspection was generally divided into two situations. The first was that there was no production license. One had to get a quality inspection before getting a production license. This was relatively slow. It took 30 days.

If the factory had permission to produce, it would be faster. Food usually took seven to ten days.

Naturally, the timing was mostly procedural, not quality-check, aimed at big cities.

A factory like Youcheng County, which did not have many small cities, to begin with, and did not have many new products, was not that busy. It would only take about one to three days.

Moreover, with the logo of Qinglin Villa, the Quality Supervision Bureau would probably deal with it immediately. After all, the county placed a lot of importance on Qinglin Villa now. As for hygiene, the factory had already handled it previously. The same production line and similar products did not need to be repeated.

"Alright, President Qin." Deng Guang nodded and went to the side to make arrangements. Soon, he handed a few bottles of packaged 200g ketchup to Qin Lin.

The 200g bottle had been prepared by Wang Xin previously. There were many in the warehouse that could be used for some time.

Qin Lin felt that the shape of the bottle was not bad, so he used it. As for the packaging on the outside, he had asked Qin Ren's studio to help make it. Like usual ketchup, it was made with tomato drawings and matched with the brand logo of Qinglin ketchup.

This was the first product produced by the game to be promoted on a large scale. The 'Qinglin' brand started with this tomato sauce.

Chapter 90

In the future, more and more things would be taken out of the game. There would definitely be more things that could be promoted on a large scale like this tomato sauce. For example, triangular plums and watermelons could be promoted after the cultivation was successful. He naturally had to make these into a brand.

'Qinglin' was his brand.

Qinglin ketchup was only the first.

The cost of ketchup will vary depending on the materials, packaging, and production methods.

The cost of Qin Lin's 200 grams of ketchup included tomatoes, packaging, manual labor, various materials, and so on. It added up to about five yuan. As long as it was sold for 10 yuan, he would make a huge profit.

As for the exact price, he had to think about it carefully.

Moreover, he had to register the relevant trademarks first. Otherwise, if some idiot came to sue him for compensation with Qinglin's trademark rights one day, once the social atmosphere was led astray, it would most likely become a trend.

The key was that those who followed the trend and mindlessly bought the trademark were still blind to the law.

After Qin Lin left the factory, he went to the warehouse and entered the game. He saw the note of Qinglin ketchup:

[Qinglin ketchup: Quality 1]

[This is sour-sweet ketchup made with a special recipe. It's excellent. Taste +1. Delicious +1. Increases appetite +1.]

He was completely relieved when he saw the information.

…

...

Two days passed quickly.

In an area near the forested area in the northern corner of the villa, Qin Lin followed Sun Ming here. Sun Ming was indeed very attentive to the villa project and would inspect the project almost every other day.

"President Qin, according to your previous requirements, the various areas have been marked. You can compare them to the blueprints." Sun Ming brought Qin Lin to look at the already circled construction site.

Previously, Qin Lin and Sun Ming had mentioned that this was the place to build the manor villa.

It was just that the area of the manor house was a little large. It was a full 20 acres. On the blueprint, in addition to the luxurious main body of the building, there was also a very large green yard with a separate parking lot. The blueprint would be surrounded by landscape belts everywhere. There was even a pool area in the huge green yard…

It was also 20 acres of land. He believed that it would not be inferior to the 20-acre manor villa in Snake Mountain View District.

This villa project was called the 'Qinglin Villa Resort'. There was no way to build a private residence on the 500 acres of land in the villa, so he could only use this name.

As for how he would receive guests in the resort villa in the future, how many guests he would receive, and what guests he would receive, it was up to him.

The premise was that he himself would have to move in first when it was built.

However, it would take a long time to build a manor villa of this scale.

After Qin Lin looked at the blueprint, he handed it back to Sun Ming. "President Sun, I'm very satisfied with the blueprint. Sorry to trouble you to make a trip yourself."

Sun Ming took back the blueprint and said in embarrassment, "President Qin, actually, I have something to trouble you with. I heard that you can get some okra with a special effect here. Can you help me get some to try?"

He had read such news online before, but now that it was no longer available in the villa, he could no longer taste it.

Qin Lin smiled and didn't refuse. "President Sun, this thing is very rare. I'll help you ask around and get you some tomorrow."

Quality 2 okra, yams, and broccoli were basically stored in the game storage room and were no longer available. It was quite good to take them out at such a time to do a favor.

If he gave Sun Ming face, the other party would be more concerned about the villa project.

Sun Ming and Qin Lin chatted for a while more before leaving.

After that, Qin Lin also received a call from Deng Guang. "President Qin, Qinglin Ketchup's quality inspection has been approved. We've received the production pass."

Upon receiving this news, Qin Lin rushed to the factory immediately and saw the product certification from the Quality Inspection Bureau.

This thing was necessary for the sale of production products. After that, they had to put the miniaturization in the package or print it directly on the package.

In other words, Qinglin Ketchup could be started for mass production and sale.

Deng Guang also said, "President Qin, now that the product is out, how much are we going to charge?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment and asked, "What's the price of ketchup on the market now?"

Deng Guang explained, "Ordinary ketchup cost about five to seven yuan for the same 200g. As for some brands, they're more expensive. The ones with the same taste and specifications cost 12 yuan. Heinz costs 13 yuan, Hu Liang Fang costs 13.5 yuan, Hans costs 12 yuan, Delmon costs 15 yuan…"

Deng Guang had obviously done his homework. He introduced most of the prices of ketchup of the same specifications on the market in one go. The cheapest was five yuan, and the most expensive was 15 yuan from the old American Delmon.

Moreover, those big brands were almost all more than 10 yuan.

Qin Lin asked, "Old Deng, what do you suggest?"

Deng Guang thought for a moment and said, "President Qin, in terms of taste alone, our formula definitely tastes better than the ketchup of the top 10 brands facing the public. Even the taste of the luxury products carefully crafted by these brands can't compare to ours. Even if we sell it more expensive than this ketchup, it won't be too much. The key is how to become famous."

Qin Lin thought for a moment and finally decided, "We'll start with the villa. As for the price, there's no need to sell it at a higher price than those brands. Naturally, it can't be too cheap either."

"The retail price will be based on Old America Delmon's 15 yuan. It's just enough for everyone to make a comparison. It's the same 15 yuan. Let's see how much better our own brand is than theirs. As for the wholesale price in the future, the factory price will be 11 yuan, giving the other party 4 yuan space."

Deng Guang nodded and continued, "President Qin, the price has been set, so now everything is ready to mass-produce this tomato sauce. However, you've ordered three more tomato sauce production lines. Even if you cancel the waffle line, you still have to continue to recruit employees."

"You'll have to work harder on this matter." Qin Lin instructed, "Also, start producing a batch of ketchup as soon as possible. Send it to the villa tonight so that it can be promoted among the tourists tomorrow."

"I'll make the arrangements now." Deng Guang was also a very capable person, so he immediately got up to make the arrangements.

Qin Lin left the factory and brought a box of tomato sauce to the villa. When he arrived at the hall, he placed the tomato sauce on the table. Zhao Moqing walked over and picked up a bottle of tomato sauce. "Qin Lin, is this produced by the factory?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Release an event announcement on the official account of the villa's media. Say that from tomorrow onwards, the villa's barbecue will provide ketchup for free for a week. When tourists leave, they can receive a special bottle of 200g ketchup for free with the ticket or consumer certificate of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea."

"Okay." Zhao Moqing understood Qin Lin's motive and called Gao Yaoyao over. The two women carried a box of ketchup to the back to take a video.

At the prime time at night, Zhao Moqing also finished the promotional video for the event and sent it out.

Although the popularity of the villa was no longer greatly increased due to the restrictions, with its current popularity, the event announcement quickly became a hot topic and attracted the attention of many people.

There had been the matter of the medicinal honey not long ago. It would be strange not to be curious.

"Is Qinglin Villa organizing another event? Are they giving us special Qinglin Ketchup this time?"

"They're being stingy this time. Why are they giving ketchup?"

"Hey, look at the brand. It's Qinglin Ketchup. Apparently, Qinglin Villa makes it themselves. I love ketchup, but I'm not sure how it tastes."

"The last time Qinglin Villa caused such a huge commotion with the medicinal honey. This time, the ketchup shouldn't be worse than those brands, right? Otherwise, it would be a little degrading."

"…"

"Qin Lin, the villa's event announcement is already trending on Douyin." As soon as Zhao Moqing returned home, she took out her phone to check the situation of the official event announcement.

"Well, this way, we'll wait for the tourists to come and try our ketchup tomorrow. When the tourists realize that our ketchup is better than those brands, it will definitely explode in popularity again." Qin Lin sat down on the sofa, and the dog ran over and lay at his feet, sticking its head over.

The dog was sometimes too clingy. It put its head forward and he had to rub it a few times before it was satisfied.

The next day.

There was also a free ketchup area outside the sales center of Qinglin Villa.

Last night, Deng Guang sent a batch of ketchup produced by the factory to the villa, and Qin Lin got someone to prepare it.

Tourists entered the villa and were attracted. After last night's fermentation, one by one, they were curious about the ketchup.

Chapter 91

Noon approached.

Some of the tourists stayed at the villa to eat or began to cook on their own.

A line of six tourists rented a grill under the registration of a waiter.

These were obviously three young couples who had come in groups.

He usually lived in the city and had a lot of work, so it was very difficult for him to have a chance to have a gathering and barbecue. Now that he had finally come to Qinglin Villa, he would be letting himself down if he did not experience the self-service barbecue.

"This villa's Triangular Plum Blossom Sea is really beautiful. The few videos taken are all very good."

"Yes. I posted it on my WeChat Moments, and all the little girls at the office expressed regret that they didn't come along."

"Too bad it's just a Triangular Plum Blossom Sea. I haven't had my fun yet. Luckily, I can still barbecue."

The three women sat at the small table, editing videos and discussing them.

One of the three men beside her was already busy at the grill. One was washing vegetables and the other was cleaning seafood. It was obvious that they were family brothers.

A woman suddenly pointed at a bottle of tomato sauce on the small table beside her and said, "Eh, is this the special tomato sauce from Qinglin Villa?"

The other woman said, "Open it now."

Curious, the three women picked up the bottle of ketchup on the small table.

...

Normally, they wouldn't have paid attention to a bottle of ketchup. Everyone ate the usual stuff. It wasn't a novelty.

However, after a night of hype, they were now curious. This was the power of marketing hype.

"Hubby, let's see how the tomato sauce in Qinglin Villa tastes." A woman opened the Qinglin Ketchup and went to the man who was fiddling with the barbecue.

The man also took the Qinglin Ketchup curiously. He smeared some on a grilled prawn and handed it to his wife.

The woman took the prawn and placed it in her mouth to taste and chew. "This ketchup tastes very good. It seems to be better than anything I've eaten before."

Now the other two women were interested.

The other two men gathered around.

"Is this ketchup that good?"

"We'll try some too."

"…"

The man in charge of the barbecue roasted a prawn for each of them and smeared it with Qinglin Ketchup. Then, they tasted it one by one.

A moment later they were all nodding.

"The Qinglin Ketchup does taste good. Much better than that bottle of Delmon at home."

"Indeed. I had it last night. It's easy to tell. Delmon is far worse than this."

"I thought this Delmon ketchup was the most expensive under the same specifications? Why isn't it as good as this Qinglin Ketchup?"

"Delmon is a brand name for an American company. Even if it's produced domestically, it'll be a little more touted, so it's a little overpriced."

"This Qinglin Ketchup is really good. Let's go back and bring a few bottles."

It was really good. It was obvious once they tasted it. Taste buds wouldn't lie unless one was sick.

In the villa.

The same thing happened to the self-service diners and barbecue tourists.

Without exception, everyone discovered that the taste of the Qinglin Ketchupwas indeed better than the ketchup they had eaten in the past. In fact, under the attribute of +1 appetite, many people with poor appetites realized that their appetites had increased a lot after eating this ketchup. Many people had the idea of buying a few bottles back.

It was also the kind of gift that everyone who travels would buy.

Whenever they encountered something good during their travels, they would think of buying some to bring back.

A car pulled into the parking lot of the manor.

Worried, Chen Li got out of the car with Zhong Lei.

He naturally paid attention to the publicity for the homemade ketchup at Qinglin Villa.

After all, the county had given the Qinglin Villa 23 million yuan in support funds, and the villa had indeed had a huge impact on the county. It was impossible not to pay attention to it.

He could also tell that Boss Qin wanted to use the villa's popularity to build his own brand.

This was also something many Internet celebrities would try.

Who wouldn't want to learn from Li Ziqi and build their own brand through their own popularity?

If Boss Qin could use this opportunity to create a ketchup brand, it would be beneficial to the county if the product became popular. After all, if he wanted to set up a factory, he would have to hire people, buy raw materials, and pay taxes.

However, he was afraid that Boss Qin would take too big a step. It was not easy to create a brand. Many Internet celebrities who had such thoughts had failed.

He was worried if he did not bring someone to take a look.

As soon as they entered the villa, the conversation of a few tourists who were walking out attracted Chen Li's attention.

"The Qinglin Ketchup tastes really good. It was only 15 yuan, not expensive."

"Yeah, it tastes better than Heinz. The kid loves it so much, I bought a couple of bottles to take back."

"I collected a bottle for free. I also bought several bottles."

"…"

Chen Li inexplicably looked forward to hearing these words.

Things seemed to be going well.

He brought Zhong Lei to the sales center and realized that there was already a long line here. They were all collecting Qinglin Ketchup for free.

In the sales center, there was an area that also had a lot of Qinglin Ketchup for sale. Many tourists were buying extra.

Since this Qinglin Ketchup was better than those brands, he definitely had to buy some back.

Chen Li heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He even began to look forward to it as he said to Zhong Lei, "Xiao Zhong, go buy a few bottles of Qinglin Ketchup. Then, we'll go to RT-Mart to buy some branded ketchup."

"Okay, Chief Chen." Zhong Lei nodded.

Chen Li left with Zhong Lei again.

Not long after.

A crowd had gathered in Chen Li's office at the tourist office. They were all members of the tourist office.

On the table in front of Chen Li were two packets of French fries and a few small bowls with some ketchup in them.

He chose the blind selection method that Qin Lin had used before.

Chen Li directly said to these people, "Try this ketchup and see which one tastes better."

One by one, the members of the tourist board came forward and tasted it. Then, after tasting it, they made their choice.

Chen Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the ketchup his colleagues had chosen. Almost all of them had chosen Qinglin Ketchup.

It seemed that the Qinglin Ketchup was indeed delicious and had a wide audience.

"Chief Chen, it's trending. Qinglin Ketchup is trending." Zhong Lei suddenly came in with his phone and reported, "You asked me to pay attention to the situation online. Qinglin Ketchup has already entered the trending list."

Chen Li took the phone and clicked on the trending searches. Many videos posted by tourists appeared. All of them said that Qinglin Ketchup was delicious. Some tourists even said bluntly that Qinglin Ketchup was better than those brands.

This was really going viral.

Qinglin Ketchup did become popular with more and more tourists posting videos.

The good reviews from the tourists made the netizens even more curious, just like how they had looked forward to the medicine.

Many people even wanted to order a bottle of ketchup to try online, but there was nowhere to buy it now.

A day passed, and the data was calculated that night.

There were no new projects in the villa, and it still maintained a turnover of more than 400,000 yuan. As for the ketchup, after deducting the 1,500 bottles that were received for free, it actually sold more than 2,000 bottles.

A bottle cost 5 yuan and sold for 15 yuan. 2,000 bottles meant more than 30,000 yuan and the profit was more than 20,000 yuan.

In that case, excluding the 7,500 yuan cost of the 1,500 free bottles, Qinglin Ketchup had more than 12,500 yuan in profits today.

12,500 yuan might not seem like much compared to the villa's 400,000-plus turnover, but it was a good start.

After all, ketchup could be widely promoted and sold.

And now there was a good start.

Chapter 92

The next day.

Qinglin Ketchup was even more popular. In addition to a tourist buffet lunch and barbecue at the mountain villa, many tourists who had received Qinglin Ketchup for free started recommending it.

Especially some parents with children. Children were picky about their food, and a lot of them skipped breakfast. It was most vexing.

They could use Qinglin Ketchup to mix with noodles. The children ate especially well and their appetites improved.

These people naturally did not know that Qinglin Ketchup had the attributes of taste +1, texture +1, and appetite +1. They only knew that this ketchup was good and the children loved it, so they all expressed their desire to buy more.

This also made more and more people leave messages wanting to buy them online, asking for link addresses.

However, Qin Lin was helpless about this. In the beginning, he could only take it slow.

The next day, ketchup sales also came out quickly. Except for the 1,500 free bottles, 3,000 bottles were actually sold today. Almost all the tourists bought several bottles.

Over the next two days, the villa also sold about 3,000 to 4,000 bottles of Qinglin Ketchup to tourists every day. Due to the limited number of tourists, the number did not increase much, but its online reputation grew.

In short, Qinglin Ketchup was completely popular.

The netizens had no way of buying it. Instead, it had the effect of hunger marketing.

Early in the morning.

Qin Lin drove the blue truck to the villa and headed to the factory.

...

Deng Guang was making tea at a tea table to entertain a few men.

When Deng Guang saw Qin Lin, he immediately stood up and said to him, "President Qin, these are all materials suppliers. They all want to supply us with materials."

With the popularity of Qinglin Ketchup, the demand for production materials would definitely increase exponentially. Naturally, some smart people would come knocking on their door first. Moreover, there was clearly more than one smart person.

The middle-aged men also looked at Qin Lin in surprise.

From the way Deng Guang addressed him, it was not difficult to tell that he was the boss of Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Factory.

He was too young.

"Deal with it first." Qin Lin nodded. Since Deng Guang had become the factory director, there was naturally no need for him to deal with these trivial matters personally. Otherwise, he would be exhausted.

However, he had to ask Zhao Moqing to pay more attention to the financial aspect. Even if he didn't suspect anyone, he had to pay more attention to what he should pay attention to.

It was time to hire an assistant for Zhao Moqing. After all, she was his wife. With the villa and factory's finance department keeping an eye on her, wouldn't she be tired?

Qin Lin went straight to an office on the second floor. This was originally reserved for him by Wang Xin, so he was naturally using it now. There was also a place to talk at the factory.

A moment later, Deng Guang also came up.

Qin Lin asked, "Old Deng, how's the production in the factory?"

Deng Guang reported, "The situation is very good. We can produce a fixed 1,000 bottles every hour. After work started, we've produced a total of 30,000 bottles every day."

"More than 20,000 bottles went out from the villa. More than 4,000 bottles were wholesale from the grocery stores that the factory previously cooperated with. However, only one of the five bottles went out from the villa."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the online sales. There are many comments on the official account of the villa saying that they want to buy it online."

Although factory sales and traditional offline sales were mainstream, online sales were now an indispensable part of the market.

However, in order to open up online sales, the factory had no choice but to find a new place to be in charge of this. They also had to contact a specialist delivery company.

Regarding this matter, Qin Lin instructed Deng Guang to start preparing. In addition, the three production lines that he had ordered would arrive in two days. He also instructed the other party to keep a close eye on them.

After dealing with the factory, he returned to the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, he met another unexpected person, RT-Mart's President Chu.

When he saw President Chu, he remembered that RT-Mart had branches in many places in the province. There were also many branches outside the province. It was a big channel.

"President Qin, sorry to disturb you. I hope you don't mind." President Chu smiled and took the initiative to welcome him.

"President Chu, you're welcome to come. Why would I disturb you?" Qin Lin smiled and welcomed President Chu to a table. Then, he called Gao Yaoyao over. "Get Master Lin to make a set of special quality okra and yams for President Chu. As for the other dishes, arrange them. I'll treat President Chu today."

Although Quality 2 items were no longer available to the public and were all placed in the game, he had just brought some out today and was prepared to make them for himself tonight.

After all, men would always be sexually active at night.

Who knew that President Chu would come?

"Okay, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao nodded and went into the kitchen to make arrangements.

President Chu's face lit up when he heard this. "President Qin, you're too polite. Actually, I still have something to ask you today."

"A special quality okra?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

"If it's possible, I naturally have to ask President Qin for help." President Chu had a smile on his face that all men understood. At the same time, he said, "But I have something else to ask President Qin today. Your Qinglin Ketchup is very popular. I want to order a batch of 300,000 bottles."

"30,000 bottles?" Qin Lin was surprised when he heard the number. "President Chu, can you sell it here?"

President Chu smiled and said, "President Qin, it's not me who placed the order this time. It's from the headquarters in Min Province. There are branches in every county and city."

"Now that Qinglin Ketchup has become popular, someone from the Min Province headquarters noticed what happened online and asked me about the situation. I'm friends with Boss Qin and have also put in a lot of good words for him. If this batch sells well, they will increase the orders in the future."

Qin Lin was naturally skeptical of President Chu's words. President Chu must have verified his Qinglin Ketchup before saying that. More importantly, Qinglin Ketchup should have become popular online.

However, when he saw that P was obviously trying to take credit, he did not expose him. He pretended to be grateful and said, "President Chu, you're indeed a friend. As a friend, I can't disappoint you. I happened to get some of that kind of okra during this period of time and will prepare it for President Chu tomorrow. However, my factory's production is limited now, and there's not much surplus every day. I can't deliver it all at once."

President Chu smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. I'll explain this to the headquarters. You can place the order first."

This was not a big deal to him. The overall situation would not change. After all, the order for 300,000 bottles of ketchup was only slightly more than 3 million yuan.

Apparently, an order for 300,000 bottles went down just like that.

A mutually beneficial partnership should be most enjoyable.

Qin Lin also took out his phone and called Deng Guang. Deng Guang came over to discuss this matter with President Chu so that the factory could make arrangements.

At this moment…

Deng Guang also summoned two product sales in his office.

Although it was called product sales, they could also be called deliverymen. It was just that the salary was a little higher than that of deliverymen. In the past, they were in charge of running to the grocery stores and supermarkets in the various areas to sell waffles. If the other party wanted to order something, they could call them and they would deliver it personally.

Small factories in small county towns generally followed this model. Unlike the larger companies, where sales were sales and deliverymen were deliverymen, the division of labor was clear.

Deng Guang said to the two salespeople, "I'm not asking you to complete many missions. Go and run more often. Compared to President Qin's villa, try not to look too embarrassing. Try to run as much as you can in those big supermarkets like RT-Mart. That Manager Chen, send him some commission like how you did in the past."

As they were talking, Deng Guang's phone rang. When he saw that it was his boss, he immediately picked up.

"What are your orders, President Qin?"

"Old Deng, come to the villa. I've discussed an order for 300,000 bottles of ketchup with President Chu."

"What?" Deng Guang was surprised. Then he said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

When he hung up, he felt incredulous.

While he was thinking about the sales channel, his boss had already negotiated 300,000 bottles of orders with RT-Mart.

The point was, how long had it been since the boss left the factory?

He should have only arrived at the villa now, right?

Chapter 93

The next day.

Deng Guang had also made arrangements for the factory early in the morning.

Although he had discussed the details with President Chu at President Qin's Manor yesterday, the contract had yet to be signed.

After leaving the office with the contract, Deng Guang felt energetic.

He believed that with the quality of Qinglin Ketchup, there would definitely be a follow-up after RT-Mart ordered this batch of ketchup. Moreover, the product was popular online, and its popularity could be considered to have increased.

If the factory developed well, it would probably expand very quickly. As the factory director, he would also have great prospects.

Deng Guang drove to the RT-Mart and took a bag of okra from the car.

This was what President Qin had instructed to give to President Chu.

"Manager Deng, you're here. Take a seat." President Chu saw Deng Guang in his office and warmly welcomed him to the tea table.

"President Chu, President Qin asked me to bring this to you." Deng Guang handed the bag of okra to President Chu, feeling especially emotional.

In the past, the factory only produced waffles. When he came to the big hair salon, he even had to give a commission to Manager Chen. Now that the boss had changed, President Chu welcomed him warmly.

President Chu was naturally all smiles when he saw the okra. He signed the contract while making tea with Deng Guang.

After Deng Guang signed the contract and left, he called Qin Lin to report this.

On the other side, when Qin Lin received Deng Guang's call, he also walked out of Youcheng County's intellectual property bureau with Chen Li.

He was applying for a patent.

There was naturally no patent office in a place like Youcheng County, but the county had an intellectual property office that could do it for them. The official ekey account could be applied directly online.

If he went to do it himself, there would naturally be all kinds of troublesome procedures and wasted time. With Chen Li around, it was different. It could save him a lot of time and trouble.

Chen Li did not refuse this matter. Without violating the bottom line of discipline, these were all matters of the world.

The patent application was actually a topic that many companies could not avoid. Many companies had no choice but to apply for patents.

In particular, some low-tech products or things like food recipes had to be patented. Over time, they would be cracked.

After applying for a patent and being cracked, the patent would always be protected by the Patent Law.

Some people would choose not to apply for a patent because they were afraid that it would be leaked if they needed to provide the formula. On the contrary, if someone were to apply for a patent first after it was cracked, they would not even have the right to sue them. Instead, they would have the right to sue them.

After Qin Lin hung up the phone with Deng Guang, he said to Chen Li, "It's from the factory. They just signed an order for ketchup with RT-Mart."

"That's a good thing. If Boss Qin's brand is successfully created, it will also be beneficial to the county." As Chen Li spoke, he made an invitation. "Boss Qin, since we have time, let's go and settle the matter of joining the association. When the time comes, you can be the vice president."

"I'll listen to Chief Chen," Qin Lin said with a smile.

This association was naturally the Youcheng County Tourism Association. It was considered an association organized by Youcheng County's official organization. All the major scenic spots would join this association. When Chen Li mentioned it when he came to the intellectual property bureau, he did not refuse. He just did not expect the other party to want him to be promoted to the position of vice president.

The procedures to join the association were also simple. The association did not have an official venue yet, so he just had to fill in the form and register.

…

For the next two days, Qinglin Ketchup was still popular. There were even people who took the train to Qinglin Villa to buy ketchup.

People weren't usually that bored. But sometimes, when things were hot, when attention was very high, people got a strong urge to do a lot of boring things.

This was probably why there were so many clocking-in operations online.

In the factory.

Qin Lin and Deng Guang arrived at a production line.

This was a new production line. The three production lines that had been ordered had arrived yesterday and had been debugged. They were now testing production.

"President Qin, the taste is right. Try it." Deng Guang held the newly produced ketchup. After confirming the taste, he handed it to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin also picked up a biscuit and dipped it in for a taste before nodding.

There was no problem with the production line debugging.

In this way, with these three new production lines, the number of ketchup bottles the factory can produce in ten hours a day also becomes 40,000–48,000 bottles.

It would only take a week to complete the 300,000 bottles of orders.

If nothing went wrong, these production lines would not be enough when the sales opened. They would have to expand.

But sometimes, when you don't want an accident to happen, it happens.

As soon as Qin Lin returned to the villa, Zhao Moqing hurriedly looked for him. "Qin Lin, something happened. Someone on Douyin is defaming our Qinglin Villa."

As she spoke, she took a video and handed it to Qin Lin. The title was: "Qinglin Villa really knows how to hype things up. Their ketchup is much worse than delicious."

The video was posted by an Internet celebrity called 'Internet Celebrity Products Counterfeiters Chun Chun'.

The other party was an Internet celebrity with an unknown number of beauty filters. Her catchphrase was to say in a gentle voice, "Today, Chun Chun has exposed the fake counterfeits for our family again. After that, she will recommend a trustworthy product that Chun Chun has personally tested."

Qin Lin frowned and opened the video.

"The Internet has been blowing up Qinglin Ketchup recently. They all say it tastes good, so I ordered a bottle online for everyone to try."

With that, she really took out a bottle of Qinglin Ketchup.

"?" Qin Lin was dumbfounded.

To hell with ordering online.

His tomato sauce hadn't opened up online ordering channels yet, okay?

In the video, Chun Chun, the Internet celebrity product, took out another bottle of Tasty Ketchup and poured the two types of ketchup onto two plates. She recorded the numbers and then searched the streets for passers-by to try the two ketchup.

However, the result in the video was that those passers-by actually chose Tasty Ketchup.

"As you can see, Qinglin Ketchup isn't that delicious." In the end, the Internet celebrity even threw the ketchup directly into the trash can. "After testing, this is the most realistic situation. Qinglin Ketchup doesn't taste as good as it is said, but it sells for a higher price than it tastes good. Qinglin Villa is starting to cut tourists like leeks. I suspect those who post videos praising Qinglin Ketchup are all shills."

Zhao Moqing was obviously very angry as she looked at the video. "This woman is spouting nonsense. We've actually tested it on tourists before. How can they be shills?"

When a person became famous, it was normal for them to be defamed. When a tourist attraction and a product became famous, it was normal for them to be defamed. Be it jealousy or conflict of interest, although it was late, it still arrived.

Clearly, his ketchup was famous. Being suddenly scolded meant that Qinglin Ketchup must have gotten in the way of other brands' ketchup.

Those brand companies would not go so far as to defame him now, but it might be the case for local agents. For example, the agents in the Ming City area. His ketchup had gone viral, and the most direct impact on the Ming City market was now.

This video had already become extremely popular. Even with the popularity of Qinglin Villa, this popularity was a little exaggerated in such a short period of time. Clearly, they had even bought Dou+.

The key was that this Internet celebrity had really posted many videos of counterfeits in the past. It had beaten many products and accumulated a lot of fans. It also had some credibility.

Therefore, the fans of her videos actually believed it.

"I see. I really thought Qinglin Ketchup was delicious."

"To think I was looking forward to it. It was a waste of time."

"Sure enough. Whoever it is, the cutting of the leeks is always on the way. Late but there."

"…"

Clearly, the comments were very disadvantageous to Qinglin Ketchup. Moreover, the popularity was clearly increasing. This popularity directly suppressed the popularity of the long-legged, coquettish female Internet celebrity that Douyin wanted to promote.

Ming City, in a hotel.

A woman looked at the popularity of her video with satisfaction and said to her assistant, "The popularity is not bad."

She was the Internet celebrity, Chun Chun. She was much shorter than in the video, and her skin was not as fair. Even her voice was not as gentle.

The assistant beside her said, "This popularity has already reached the other party's first requirement."

Chun Chun smiled and said, "Then get the other party to transfer the rest of the money over. If the popularity breaks through again, the other party will have to give another sum of money."

Chapter 94

"This channel is really interesting." Qin Lin couldn't help but sneer. He knew very well what his ketchup tasted like.

The tourists' comments were also the most truthful. On the other hand, the video of 'Internet Celebrity Products Counterfeiters Chun Chun' was definitely fake.

But the key was that her videos were believed by the fans and they all supported her. Who would know how many of the videos were paid for?

The waters of the Internet were too deep. Ordinary people could not play around at all. They could only be pawns for these Internet celebrities and be played around.

Therefore, the officials had to strictly rectify the unhealthy atmosphere. Otherwise, the atmosphere would be easily led astray.

"It's clearly fake, but so many people believe it." Zhao Moqing said helplessly, "Qin Lin, this woman must have received some money."

"It might not be Tasty." Qin Lin shook his head and said, "After all, the other party is defaming us, so we won't sit back and wait for death. If we retaliate, we will definitely target Tasty. If things turn around, Tasty will definitely be hated by the netizens."

"I understand." Zhao Moqing nodded and said, "Then it's not Tasty. It must be another brand. They defamed us and made us find the wrong person. It's killing two birds with one stone."

However, Qin Lin said, "Then what if Tasty also thinks that we'll think the same way and do the opposite? When the time comes, we'll use this excuse to deceive them. Everyone will also think that it's very reasonable. They might even sympathize with only Tasty and increase their popularity. Which product in the online society doesn't want to be famous?"

"…" Zhao Moqing was stunned. After Qin Lin said this, she felt that her brain was not working well enough.

This is simply indistinguishable.

Zhao Moqing could only say, "Then we'll send a lawyer's letter to sue that Internet celebrity, Chun Chun."

"The lawsuit is one thing." Qin Lin frowned and said, "But if the other party dares to post it, they might have already prepared a countermeasure. At most, they will argue about it in the end. The result of the lawsuit might be half a year later. It's even possible that such a dispute will last for more than a year. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't say that the road to human rights is very difficult."

...

"This is too troublesome. We can't wait that long." Zhao Moqing felt that he couldn't understand the Internet at all.

Could it be that he was really trying to deny the rumors?

Qin Lin naturally knew that he couldn't ignore this situation. Otherwise, there would be a wave of so-called bloggers and verified accounts slandering Qinglin Ketchup.

Why did these people have to put themselves on the moral high ground?

Qin Lin thought for a moment and thought about the anti-exploitation topics he had learned in university. There were measures to deal with this situation.

At that time, his mentor came up with a question similar to his situation. The thesis he wrote even got him into the top three.

And he had written about self-mockery at the time. It couldn't get any darker. When it was so dark that even others thought it was ridiculous, everyone would think it was so fake.

The Internet world was extremely black and white.

After some thought, Qin Lin called Qin Ren.

As soon as the call went through, Qin Ren's voice sounded. "Lin Zi, you're really annoying. The Internet has been hacked again. Are you asking for ghostwriters again?"

Qin Lin said, "Yes, post a video for the ghostwriters to defame my ketchup. The more they defame me, the better. Then, tag 'Internet Celebrity Products Counterfeiters Chun Chun' and say that they support her. It's best if they implicate those tourists. Scold the tourists as shills, the worse the better. Tell me the fee and I'll transfer it to you directly."

He couldn't use the villa or his own account for this matter. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if he left a trail behind. Qin Ren had connections, so it was best to use Qin Ren to do it. If the other party knew how to avoid leaving a trail, he wouldn't use his exposed account to do this.

"Understood." Qin Ren hung up and started to contact Qin Lin.

As time passed, the videos of 'Internet Celebrity Products Counterfeiters Chun Chun' became more and more popular. Just as Qin Lin had guessed, more and more bloggers and big V Internet celebrities began to appear. They posted videos to gain popularity and became envoys of justice. Videos with various headlines began to appear:

"I was looking forward to Qinglin Ketchup. To be honest, after watching Chun Chun's video, I no longer have any desire to buy Qinglin Ketchup."

"Product promotion may be a little exaggerated, but it's a very low-level way to elevate yourself by belittling your own kind."

"I have to say that Qinglin Villa, which established trust for tourists during the last medicinal honey incident, has fallen because of the ketchup. As expected, although it's late, we should not be soft-hearted."

"It's not that the tomato sauce of Qinglin Villa can't be sold for 15 yuan, but although Delmon is an American product, this price is also a formula that has been studied for many years. Qinglin Ketchup is…"

In fact, in a way, these people were high-level keyboard warriors. Every time there was a hot event, they swarmed forward like flies smelling rotten meat. They just rubbed against it.

Once things turned around, they'd be sure to go back to delete the video, or apologize, and say that they'd been influenced by Chun Chun's video. They were also victims, and they could turn the tables and ride on her popularity.

Most importantly, these people had quite a number of fans. As these people joined in, more people were guided, as if judging Qinglin Ketchup had become a hot topic.

After all, they had never tasted Qinglin Ketchup before. Under the seemingly righteous video of beating up fake people, and with so many bloggers and verified accounts posting videos to gain popularity, it was naturally difficult to tell if it was real or fake.

Qinglin Ketchup's reputation was ruined. Even the netizens started scolding Qinglin Ketchup.

"Qinglin Villa is really crazy about money. They even sell disgusting food at a high price."

"As expected, the medicinal honey water was just a foundation. After establishing trust, they started cutting leeks. Good move."

"…"

Deng Guang anxiously called Qin Lin. "President Qin, shouldn't we clarify the situation online?"

"Not for the time being. I'm already handling this matter," Qin Lin said directly. In this situation, it was useless to clarify. Most netizens did not have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the Internet.

On the other side.

Chun Chun was also in a hotel with her assistant, watching the situation online. The popularity had exceeded her imagination, and she could receive the additional income.

"Let the other party transfer the money," Chun Chun instructed her assistant smugly as she dipped a biscuit into the ketchup beside her and ate it. "I have to say, this Qinglin Ketchup is really good. I can only blame it for becoming popular so quickly."

The so-called exposing counterfeits were just a cover-up for benefits. In the end, it was just to attract fans and use them to make money. As long as she was paid to do things without being discovered by the fans, she was the most righteous person to fight the counterfeits.

Soon, the assistant said, "The other party has already transferred the money."

"Very straightforward indeed. Open a bottle of wine to celebrate," Chun Chun instructed the assistant with a smile.

However, just as the wine was opened and before they could celebrate, another assistant suddenly frowned and said, "Chun Chun, something doesn't seem right. The number of people in Qinglin Villa has suddenly increased."

"Doesn't that mean it's more popular?" said Chun Chun with a smile. "We can get some more fans."

"See for yourself. These people are brainless haters." The assistant handed the phone to Chun Chun.

Chun Chun looked at the phone and frowned too.

"Qinglin Ketchup tastes like shit. Someone actually said that it tastes good."

"Qinglin Villa is indeed very unpalatable. I think those tourists are just dragging it out. They make such awful ketchup taste so good."

"Support Chun Chun. Those tourists are all taste-sick, right? They eat shit and say it tastes good."

"…"

These videos also became popular under such heated discussions. The key comment section was also filled with all kinds of people defaming Qinglin Villa and scolding them. Many of them were even brainless and had no bottom line.

"Aren't these people causing trouble?" Chun Chun was instantly annoyed. Black people were also particular about methods. Enough was enough. They couldn't say too much. They had to guide others into their own imaginations. Only if they imagined it themselves would they decide that it was indeed true.

Wasn't this brainless and unscrupulous? Wasn't this intentional?

This was going to cripple her.

"Chun Chun, something seems to be happening." The assistant from before seemed a little anxious this time. "Just now, the Internet publicity fraud department in Ming City posted a video and even tagged us."

"What?" Chun Chun's expression changed subconsciously. She was in Ming City.

"We've always been committed to the management of online publicity scams. At first, we were attracted by the topic of fake publicity for Qinglin Ketchup. After all, it's in our open market, so we personally bought Qinglin Ketchup to compare with Tasty. As for the result, it might be a matter of personal taste. It doesn't seem to be as it's said online. I hope Chun Chun can come to the scene and verify it with us."

Taking the video, Chun Chun's scowl deepened.

How dare she? She knew exactly what was going on.

Besides, was this video clearly saying that she was faking it?

But how could the Internet publicity fraud department in the city pay attention to this matter for no reason? They even tagged her? She clearly made the video very appropriate.

Could it be that Qinglin Villa's background was not simple? Did someone ask them to do so?

She was suddenly vaguely afraid.

At this moment, the other assistant was also shocked. "Chun Chun, the director of the tourism bureau in Youcheng County is also going to bring goods. There's Qinglin Ketchup in the goods he brought. It seems to be a platform for Qinglin Ketchup?"

"?" Chun Chun was stunned.

She had only wanted to earn some extra money. Who knew that she would directly provoke two officials?

Chapter 95

Be it the Ming City Internet Publicity Fraud Department or Chen Li's goods platform, they instantly exploded on the Internet under the popularity of Qinglin Ketchup.

Recalling the brainless haters from before, everyone calmed down and roughly understood what was going on.

After all, the official notary power was not something that an Internet celebrity could compare to. Many people ran to the comments section of 'Internet Celebrity Products Counterfeiters Chun Chun' to question her.

Especially those tourists who had been scolded together, they all went up to the comments section to mock them.

"So this is exposing the counterfeits?"

"Hehe, what a black hand. How much did you charge?"

"Money can sell your conscience."

"…"

"How did this happen?" Chun Chun was stunned by this turn of events.

"Chun Chun, our fans are already dropping fast. We have to think of something quickly," the other assistant reminded her hurriedly.

Chun Chun hurriedly took her phone and her expression turned even uglier. In a short period of time, she had lost tens of thousands of fans.

…

In Qinglin Villa.

...

Qin Lin also received a call from the Youcheng County Tourism Bureau. Naturally, it was about the goods. If they wanted to bring his products, they had to inform him first. Without signing the documents, it was an emergency. There was still trust between the two parties.

He had no objection to that, of course.

But the developments online surprised him.

He suddenly realized that his actions of asking Qin Ren to get the Internet ghostwriters to deal with it seemed a little redundant.

It was understandable for Chen Li to turn on the farm assistance Livestream again to help him stand on the platform. Firstly, the county must have confirmed his ketchup. Secondly, this popularity was just right to attract traffic. Many people should have flooded into the farm assistance live stream in the county by now, right?

It was a matter of mutual benefit.

However, he was a little surprised by the online publicity scam department in the city. Anyone with eyes could tell where the other party stood.

The timing was too coincidental.

Although he could not rule out the possibility that this publicity fraud department was paying attention to this matter, the probability that it was not a coincidence seemed very high.

Qin Lin thought about it and first transferred the money to Qin Ren. Then, he took out his phone and called Ma Liewen to ask about the situation.

"Boss Qin, that has nothing to do with me." Ma Liewen's voice sounded from the phone. "Previously, Li Qing also asked for my bottle of medicinal wine. Boss Qin's wine is very effective in treating frequent urination and urination. It can also replenish blood and nourish qi. The elders in Li Qing's family used to work too hard and have some health problems. Moreover, the elders have a few comrades."

Ma Liewen didn't say it explicitly, but Qin Lin understood.

After hanging up, he thought about it and called Li Qing too.

"Boss Qin, why are you calling me?" Li Qing's laughter sounded on the phone as if the online publicity fraud department had nothing to do with him.

Qin Lin was naturally not a fool. He knew whether he should say it or not, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I wasn't convinced when you easily tasted the wine the last time. I obtained two bottles of older medicinal wine and wanted to test you again."

"Since Boss Qin wants to test me, I'll naturally accept it." There was obvious joy in Li Qing's voice.

This wine was indeed useful to him, or to his family. The old man had worked hard in the past. It was always inevitable that he needed to pee frequently and had insufficient vital energy and blood.

Boss Qin's medicinal wine was as effective as the secret recipes of the two families that inherited Chinese medicine. However, the more effective such things were, the more complicated the process, the harder it was to master, the rarer the materials, and the rarer the production.

It was very rare after all. Even if their family did not get much wine from those two families, if they wanted it, others also wanted it.

Therefore, Boss Qin's wine was a rare commodity.

Qin Lin hung up and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this point, the storm on the Internet should have passed. Instead, it made his Qinglin Ketchup even more popular.

Not long after, Zhao Moqing brought her phone to Qin Lin and showed him a live broadcast video. "Qin Lin, that Chief Chen is live streaming again. A lot of people are streaming it."

Qin Lin looked at the live broadcast and said in surprise, "There are quite a lot of people."

There were actually more than 100,000 people online in the farm assistant live stream.

Chun Chun, bloggers who wanted to ride on the popularity, and some big verified accounts were all benefiting from Youcheng County's farm assistance Livestream.

Chen Li looked at the number of people in the live stream with a smile on his face. This should be the most-populated farm live stream in the county, right?

How much produce could be sold to so many people?

After selling 4,000 catties of honey in seconds with the help of Qinglin Villa's popularity for the first time, the county's farm assistance live broadcast had improved a little. Compared to the dozens of people at the beginning, there were at least 3,400 people in the subsequent three scenes. They even especially got a female reporter from the county's television station to be a fixed anchor.

Today, he had personally come to Qinglin Villa so that it would not be affected. He wanted to stand up for Qinglin Ketchup. At the same time, he wanted to make use of this popularity to create a big wave. Today, the county had contacted all kinds of fruit farmers in Youcheng County to make preparations, especially the special products, golden ferns, and winter bamboo shoots.

The number of viewers in the live stream clearly did not disappoint him. This could be considered another win-win situation between the county and Qinglin Villa.

Chen Li said to the people in the live stream with a smile, "For this farm helper live broadcast, we have prepared fresh gold foil from Youcheng County and winter bamboo shoots for everyone… However, the first product before that is a special product, which is Qinglin Ketchup."

"I know there are comments online about Qinglin Ketchup being bad, but there are many things I don't comment on easily. I tasted this ketchup. It's really good."

"Naturally, it could be a personal taste problem. There's a difference between that and the test on the Internet done by Chun Chun. So I'd like to invite her to test it in public too."

As soon as Chen Li spoke, the live stream became lively. Dense comments floated past.

"This streamer isn't nervous anymore."

"We're seeing the director do a live stream again. The director directly called out Chun Chun."

"I choose to believe the director. The counterfeit-exposer is a counterfeit herself."

"Haha, how would Chun Chun dare to come? She was just tagged by the Ming City Internet Publicity Fraud Department. She must be very embarrassed now and doesn't know what to do."

"…"

Chen Li said again, "I've tasted Qinglin Ketchup personally. If everyone believes me, you can also try bidding for a bottle. We promise to deliver it in three to seven days. If it doesn't suit everyone's taste, you can also return it when the time comes. Now, let's go on the link first…"

Actually, at this point, even the dumbest person would know that it was Qinglin Ketchup that was interfering with the interests of the other ketchup. Therefore, someone had paid Chun Chun to make negative comments about Qinglin Ketchup.

Didn't this mean that Qinglin Ketchup was really delicious?

Therefore, the more it was defamed previously, the more popular it was now. As soon as the link to Qinglin Ketchup was uploaded, people began to order it under such reverse psychology. Everyone even ordered several bottles, or this could be called revenge consumption.

The frustration of being played for a fool.

In Qinglin Villa.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing also watched Chen Li's live broadcast and tried to click on the link. After all, he was selling his own product.

However, when he clicked on it, he realized that 50,000+ had been sold in a short period of time.

"?" Qin Lin's expression changed.

Was this just the beginning?

Another refresh: 100,000+

Another refresh: 150,000+.

Then, 200,000+.

There were only more than 100,000 people in the live stream. How many bottles had the people who ordered it bought?

Qin Lin immediately called Zhong Lei, the director's secretary.

Since Chief Chen was so fierce, did he consider whether his small factory could support him?

It was only then that he signed the 300,000-bottle order with RT-Mart and had to supply the villa every day. The promise to arrive in three to seven days wasn't enough time.

Perhaps he was the only boss who was afraid of having too many orders?

If he wanted to take bigger steps, the factory's strength did not allow it.

The key was that he could not damage his reputation. If the county said that they would deliver the goods within half a month, they could do whatever they wanted.

Chapter 96

The night passed.

By the next day, Qinglin Ketchup's reputation had been completely reversed, and it was even more popular.

Naturally, the comments section of Chun Chun's video had been completely blown up. Someone had posted a video revealing that she had lost almost 200,000 fans. After removing the zombie fans, it was still a loss big enough to vomit blood.

Qin Lin woke up in the morning and picked the crops in the game city. Then, he headed to the warehouse to transport everything to the villa.

Now that the ketchup was popular, if it developed well, the benefits would be amazing. When the villa's expansion was completed, the number of good tourists who developed would also soar. The benefits would no longer need to rely on the crops planted in the game.

Besides, he could also obtain various secret recipes, seeds, and props in the game.

Other than keeping the medicinal honey water, he could slowly reduce the number of items planted in the game. When the time came, he could choose a safer method.

There were always loopholes in the business. Just doing the accounts was a big problem.

As long as he passed the initial accumulation, he would be able to collect as many loopholes as he could. At that time, he would be much freer.

Naturally, he also had to take out some high-quality items regularly to create hype. That way, it could become another kind of popularity and attractiveness.

Not long after, Qin Lin saw Zhao Moqing enter the hall angrily. "Qin Lin, how can this woman be so shameless?"

"What's wrong?" Qin Lin asked curiously.

"Look for yourself. It's the counterfeit exposer, Chun Chun." Zhao Moqing handed the phone that was playing the video to Qin Lin in frustration.

...

Qin Lin looked at the video in confusion.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Chun Chun. I sincerely apologize for yesterday's video. Because of my assistant's negligence, I mixed up the two portions of ketchup that I invited passers-by to taste. Actually, the better one is Qinglin Ketchup. I tasted it myself."

"I've already fired the assistant who made the mistake. Moreover, I'll apologize to Qinglin Ketchup in this live broadcast tonight. Then, I'll conduct a live broadcast of the goods I've selected strictly. The profits will all be donated to the children in the mountains. At the end, I'll also tag Ming City's Internet Anti-fraud Publicity Department."

The video was already trending. The comments section was even more exciting.

"I see. Chun Chun was set up by her assistant."

"I told you Chun Chun would never make that mistake if she was always serious about exposing counterfeits. She was set up by her employee. Chun Chun had nothing to do with it."

"Chun Chun is very caring. She was also set up by an irresponsible assistant. Don't blame her."

"…"

"?" Qin Lin looked at the video in shock.

Chun Chun had actually left herself a way out.

But how the hell did that work?

Most importantly, her fans believed her.

Zhao Moqing said in dissatisfaction and anger, "Qin Lin, why do you think fans believe what she says so easily? Are they all fools?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there are so many fools, those Internet celebrities wouldn't have been able to make a name for themselves. Why would there be the words 'brain-dead fans'? When Wu Yifan went to jail, weren't the brain-dead fans still clamoring to save him?"

This was the Internet. Those who couldn't lie and weren't thick-skinned enough wouldn't be able to do well.

"Then I'll have to scold her a little before I feel comfortable. I'll hand her a lawyer's letter. I definitely can't let her off so easily," Zhao Moqing said hatefully as she exited the official account of the villa. She logged into a private account and clicked on the comment section of Chun Chun's video.

A moment later.

Zhao Moqing was furious again. "This is too much. She actually deleted the comment. No wonder they were all positive."

Qin Lin shook his head. At this moment, the notification that the crops were going to be watered appeared in his mind. He controlled the game character to water those crops and then controlled the game character to head to the Spring Mine.

There were still a lot of blocks in the first level of the mine that hadn't been broken. He couldn't get into the second level, but there was no telling what he could dig up in the rest of the area.

He might be able to get another recipe for another mystery stone slab.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed this time. It took him half a day to break all the stones in the spring mine and then to dig again. He found nothing but gold, silver, and copper.

There was no way to take the ore outside to deal with it. Dealing with the ore was too time-consuming. He could only sell it in the game in one go and exchange it for game gold.

In the afternoon, Gao Yaoyao brought a man in a suit to him. "Boss, this gentleman wants to see you."

Qin Lin looked at the man in confusion. "You are?"

The man took the initiative to extend his hand to Qin Lin. "I didn't expect the boss of Qinglin Villa to be so young. My name is Cheng He, and I'm an agent of Ming City Tasty Foods Co."

Gao Yaoyao looked at Cheng He in shock. Chun Chun had said that Qinglin Ketchup was not as good as Tasty. Everyone thought that Tasty would be enemies with Qinglin Ketchup.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Cheng?" Qin Lin frowned slightly.

To be honest, without investigating it, no one knew if Tasty had asked Chun Chun to defame Qinglin Ketchup.

Cheng He explained, "What happened online has nothing to do with me, and it wasn't done by Tasty."

"How can I trust you?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

Cheng He explained, "When Qinglin Ketchup became popular, the first ones to be affected were the other ketchup brand agents in Ming City. Moreover, my contract with Tasty expires a few days later. If I want to represent Qinglin Ketchup and be a city agent for the brand, I might as well be the regional general agent for another popular brand."

When Qin Lin heard this, he looked at the other party in surprise. This reason seemed to be irrefutable.

In modern society, although there were already channels for online shopping, more people still shopped offline. After all, if you ran out of ketchup, you could just buy it downstairs at the grocery store or supermarket. With heavy social pressure, perhaps shopping in the supermarket was already one of the programs that many people reserved.

Therefore, it was inevitable that products would seek out regional agents.

The benefits of being an agent could reduce the risk of capital, quickly opening the market, dividing professional labor, and saving on market development costs and labor.

Although there were some shortcomings in using agents, as long as the product was still one of the most competitive in the market, any company would choose to use the agent model.

After all, the market and time waited for no one.

Qin Lin had also thought about the problem of the agent. After all, if the product became popular, the factory would definitely expand. This matter would have to be done sooner or later.

He looked at Cheng He and thought for a moment. "In any case, it's still a few days away. Chun Chun's incident has let me see a result. At least it has let me know which brand's agent did it."

It has already happened. He couldn't be defamed and not know who the other party was.

Now that Cheng He wanted to get on the bus, he had to show some ability, right?

If they couldn't even figure out what was going on in Ming City, wouldn't they be killed by other brands?

Qinglin Ketchup was very popular. After this incident, it would definitely not be possible to defame them on the Internet again. However, if Qinglin Ketchup was to be promoted on a large scale, the other brand agents would probably not just watch.

"Alright!" Cheng He didn't say much. He turned around and left decisively.

Qin Lin pondered for a moment before returning his attention to the game in his mind.

After there was no harvest from the spring mine, Qin Lin also controlled the game characters to explore the various maps. The open game plot relied on random luck.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to enter Mount Notre Dame. This time, there was a surprise because the mountain goods had refreshed again. He hurriedly controlled his game character to pick them.

[Congratulations on obtaining 1 catty of Cherokee roses.]

[Congratulations on obtaining 2 catties of myrtle.]

…

[Congratulations on obtaining 2 catties of Cherokee roses.]

[Congratulations on obtaining 1 catty of myrtle.]

This time, the harvests were still the Cherokee roses and myrtle. This time, he gained 5 more catties each. His harvest was a total of 15 catties each. This meant that he could make another 150 catties of medicinal wine.

Besides, it made him consider a problem. He might have to get a place to hide the wine later. He could let Sun Ming know and get a private wine cellar under the manor house he'd built.

The wine had always been in the game. The amount of time it took to settle increased. In the future, there had to be new wine, old wine, and wine of all ages.

Otherwise, it would end up being a hundred years old. That would be too exaggerated.

That kind would be nice to be kept in the game.

After putting the two types of mountain goods into the storage room, Qin Lin left the villa again and bought 150 catties of 55° white wine. Then, he soaked the mountain goods he had obtained this time into medicinal wine.

After that, Qin Lin returned to the villa and looked at the game on the screen in his mind again.

The harvest today seemed to be quite good. He had just controlled the game character to leave the farm again when he encountered a plot conversation.

It was a richly dressed NPC with a hat and a cane.

[I'm Ba Ge the Gourmet. If you give me delicious food ingredients, you might get an unexpected reward!]

A gourmet?

Wasn't this the NPC who was the judge at the Ore Town Food Festival?

He was a single male.

It seemed that female players could even get married and have children with this gourmet.

Chapter 97

There was a cooking method in Ranches Story. Even many players liked liver cooking. Collecting cooking manuals had always been the favorite of Ranches Story's cooking players.

In this new version, there were three ways to obtain the secret manual. One was to obtain it from the news broadcast on television. The other was to crack the recorded recipe from the stone version. The other was to exchange it from the Gourmet.

After obtaining the secret recipe for ketchup from the ordinary Mystic Stone Slab, he had also checked the relevant information about the new version.

In the new version, if there was a ranking for obtaining cooking manuals, the ones obtained from the television news would be relatively ordinary. Qin Lin had controlled his game character to watch television, but he had never obtained one before. It should also be random.

What the gourmets obtained was even more advanced. They might even obtain culinary skills.

What the Mystic Stone Slab obtained was completely random. It might obtain a steamed egg or a high-quality secret recipe. The higher the quality of the Mystic Stone Slab, the more high-quality the secret recipe could be cracked.

After Qin Lin controlled the game character to obtain the Gourmet's storyline mission, he did not hesitate to control the game character to return to the storage room. He took out a portion of the Quality 2 crops and fish, along with a small bottle of medicinal wine. Then, he controlled the game character to find the Gourmet and submit the items to the Gourmet.

[These are all amazing ingredients. I can definitely make delicious dishes. As a reward, please accept my gift!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Fish Experience Book of Special Cooking Skills!]

"Fish Experience Book of Special Cooking Skills?" Qin Lin was surprised.

This was really a culinary skill.

Since he had gained something, he didn't hesitate. He found an empty spot and entered the game. Replacing the game character, he saw the message from the skill book:

[This is a special cooking skill book. After using it, you can obtain skill experience in cooking fish. It includes the treatment of fish, frying, steaming… Furthermore, as long as you make relevant fish dishes, taste +1! Delicious +1! Appetite +1]

"F*ck!" Qin Lin cursed when he saw the notice.

It was bloody awesome.

If he didn't understand wrongly, this experience book could allow him to increase the quality of his food when he cooked fish.

For example, making a grilled fish. An ordinary fish would have an average taste and texture. When he made it, it would have a +1 taste, +1 taste, and +1 appetite.

A Quality 2 wild fish would have a texture of +2 and a taste of +2. Then the fish he made would have a texture of +3, taste of +3, and appetite of +1.

Wouldn't this turn him into a big chef? Even if he could only cook fish.

[Do you wish to use the Fish Experience Book of Special Cooking Skills?]

Qin Lin decisively chose to use it.

In an instant, the same information flow that he had obtained the secret recipe for ketchup appeared again. However, this time, it was information about how to deal with fish. It even gave him a very strange feeling that he could do everything written in the book.

After receiving all the messages, Qin Lin immediately logged out of the game. When he returned to the hall, he realized that it was especially busy inside. There seemed to be more people ordering today than usual. Even Zhao Moqing went up to help.

"The sea of flowers in this villa is really beautiful. I took photos with the little squirrel."

"We've also drunk the medicinal honey water and it tastes very good. It's just that Qinglin Villa doesn't accept company group building appointments. We still have to wake up early in the morning to rush over."

"…"

When Qin Lin heard these conversations, he understood what was going on.

Qinglin Villa currently limited the number of visitors to 1,500 people, so it naturally did not accept the company's team construction. It would take up too many people and would be too unfriendly to ordinary itinerant customers.

Moreover, it was very troublesome to host team-building companies with many requirements.

However, since some people from the company had made up their minds to come, they would also come by themselves. For example, there were quite a number of people here.

When these people arrived, they also acted together.

Now that they were ordering, it would naturally make the hall busier.

Qin Lin walked straight to the kitchen. As soon as he entered, he heard Master Lin instructing a young man, "Since you want to learn, learn seriously. Otherwise, go back. Is it wrong for Master Liu to scold you? As an apprentice, if he doesn't scold you when you do something wrong, it'll be harming you. You won't be able to learn anything."

Qin Lin looked at the young man and ignored him. The other party was an apprentice in the kitchen. Master Lin could handle it himself.

Previously, the kitchen was too busy. Other than hiring a helper chef for Master Lin, there was a junior in Master Lin's hometown who did not manage to get into university during the college entrance examination. When he found out that Master Lin had become a chef in the mountain villa, his family wanted this junior to obtain a skill and send him to Master Lin's place to become a chef's apprentice.

Seeing Qin Lin enter, Master Lin also said to the apprentice, "Go over there and wash the vegetables."

The apprentice did not dare to respond to Master Lin's criticism and hurriedly went to the sink to wash the vegetables.

"Boss, sorry you had to see that. Children are insensible," Master Lin said apologetically to Qin Lin as he busied himself with the pot again.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "A group construction company suddenly came. I thought that you guys would be very busy, so I came in to help."

Master Lin teased, "Why are you, a boss, joining in the fun in the kitchen? We have an extra helper and apprentice, we can handle the crowd."

"Master Lin, are you looking down on me, your boss? Then I have to show off my skills today." Qin Lin also joked. Then, he went to the menu at the side and took a list of braised wild fish.

Master Lin also joked, "Masters, take a look. This boss is interesting. As our boss, he even wants to steal our job."

Truth be told, he loved his current work environment.

This boss was very nice. He was worlds apart from his previous boss.

The three chefs naturally looked over, but they didn't dare joke with their boss like Master Lin.

They weren't as capable as Master Lin and weren't that familiar with their boss.

Qin Lin had already put on an apron and grabbed a wild fish that Master Lin had prepared.

This was clearly a game product, a Quality 1 wild black carp. It weighed about 6 catties and had the attributes of Qi Nourishment +1, Stomach Nourishment +1… Delicious +1, Taste +1.

The moment he grabbed the fish, information about how to deal with it popped up in Qin Lin's mind.

It was a wonderful feeling as if he had done it many times before.

When he picked up the knife to kill the fish, it was even more as if he had a muscle memory. He cut accurately into the fish's stomach and cut a long line before dealing with the internal organs.

Master Lin, who had been paying attention to Qin Lin, was shocked to see this scene.

The boss was too skilled at handling fish. He was like an old master.

Qin Lin started the fire, added oil, and boiled the ingredients step by step.

The fish went into the pot, he flipped the fish and added the seasoning… until the braised fish was ready. The entire process was smooth and natural.

"Boss, you're hiding your strength!" Master Lin said in disbelief.

Putting aside the taste of the fish cooked by the boss, just the color alone was definitely appetizing.

Qin Lin was also very surprised when he saw the braised fish he made. Although he could cook, it was only limited to the home version. The fish in front of him was definitely at the level of a chef.

The key was that the taste +1, delicious +1 fish should have the attributes of texture +2, delicious +2, appetite +1.

Master Lin had also prepared a dish. He took a pair of chopsticks and walked forward. "Boss, let me see the taste of your fish."

It looked appetizing, but he was still worried. After all, they were serving a guest.

"Try it," Qin Lin said with a smile.

Master Lin placed some fish minced meat in his mouth and tasted it. Immediately after, his face revealed an expression of disbelief.

Why did this fish feel even more delicious than his cooking?

Chapter 98

Why did some chefs get different grades and different chefs get different wages?

The reason was simple. They were good at cooking.

For example, a wild salmon that tastes +2 and tastes +2 was clearly a top-notch ingredient. Those who didn't know how to cook might make it taste +1, delicious +1, or even taste -2, delicious -2.

As long as one knew how to cook, the fish would be able to maintain its texture and taste. An experienced chef could even make it taste better.

As for those top chefs, they might be able to improve the taste and delicious attributes on this basis.

Qin Lin should be at this level when it came to cooking fish.

After Master Lin tasted Qin Lin's braised fish, he looked at Qin Lin strangely.

Could it be that this boss was really here to steal his job?

Why did a boss make fish so delicious? As a chef, he had mixed feelings.

"Master Lin, how is it?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

"Boss, you've come to ruin our jobs!" Master Lin muttered as he pressed the bell to serve the dishes.

The old saying went, "Don't challenge other people's professions with your hobby."

However, one had to admit that there were a very small number of people who could steal the jobs of most professionals even if it was just based on their hobbies. However, those who had their jobs stolen could only watch as the other party pretended to be awesome in their field, but there was nothing they could do.

...

The waiter quickly brought out Master Lin's dishes and Qin Lin's fish.

The braised fish was also brought to a table for five. There were elderly people and children, obviously on a family-unit outing.

When a middle-aged man saw the fish coming up, he said, "I heard on the Internet that the wild fish in Qinglin Villa taste pretty good. We were lucky to catch one in the fish pond. Everyone, try it."

The others moved their chopsticks when they heard this.

As the man spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and ate it. After taking a bite, he couldn't help but praise, "This fish is really as delicious as the Internet says."

The others looked equally surprised.

The child expressed it directly. "Grandpa, this fish is delicious. I want more."

Qin Lin had made the fish taste +2, delicious +2, and appetite +1. The taste clearly exceeded their imagination.

It was not only this family. Soon, a portion of fish soup was delivered to the table of a man and woman. A man said in surprise, "Strange, it's not wild fish that was caught today. Why does it taste as delicious as the wild fish from the previous two times?"

This was clearly not the first time this customer has come, and this time he had brought friends.

It wasn't uncommon for these people to go to a scenic spot a few times a month, especially those who were single and often went on blind dates. They didn't know where to go after asking a girl out, so they would go to a nearby scenic spot to take the lead. If they didn't succeed once, they would bring another girl, and if they didn't succeed again…

Previously, there was news that a man had led nine girls on blind dates to a scenic spot in a month and ended up dating a ticket seller.

Zhao Moqing and Gao Yaoyao slowly found it strange. The tourists today seemed to have a special fondness for fish. They were all praising the fish for being delicious.

"Did they put something in the fish today?" Gao Yaoyao was puzzled.

Zhao Moqing went straight to the kitchen to ask, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Qin Lin, who was wearing an apron and making fish head soup.

"Why did you come in?" Qin Lin saw Zhao Moqing after making the fish head soup.

"You made this fish head soup?" Zhao Moqing looked at the fish head soup in surprise. The milky white fish soup seemed to have a better color than Master Lin's.

Qin Lin said proudly, "What else? By the way, I made a lot of fish just now. Did the tourists like it?"

"Did you make all those fish?" Zhao Moqing looked at Qin Lin as if she didn't recognize him. Didn't she know Qin Lin's culinary skills? They were on par in terms of cooking.

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded.

"Alright, Qin Lin, you've actually been lying to me." Zhao Moqing immediately stared at Qin Lin covetously. "I thought that those wives in Douyin who haven't seen their chef husbands cook for more than ten years were just jokes."

Who would have thought that she would become the female lead in that kind of joke?

When Master Lin heard this, he hurriedly said to the three kitchen chefs beside him, "Quickly see if there's anything I can kneel down on in the kitchen. If there's a washboard, quickly put it away."

These words made the three kitchen chefs laugh.

"Master Lin, why are you bringing up the washboard?" Qin Lin said angrily.

However, Master Lin smiled and said, "Lady Boss, let Boss cook a good meal this afternoon. His culinary skills feel better than mine."

This made Zhao Moqing ask Qin Lin, "Is what Master Lin said true?"

"I only know how to cook fish. I just learned it." Qin Lin immediately explained to Zhao Moqing, "After marrying you, I definitely couldn't bear to let you suffer, so I wanted to learn how to cook. In the future, I'll cook at home. Who knew that I would have some talent in cooking?"

"…" Master Lin.

"…" The kitchen chefs.

They seem to have learned something.

They seemed to have become lightbulbs too.

"You…" Zhao Moqing was embarrassed by his words and left the kitchen.

Not long after.

Gao Yaoyao came in to report again. "Mr. Li, who was with Mr. Ma previously, is here."

When Qin Lin heard this, he left the kitchen. When he saw Li Qing, he immediately welcomed him warmly. "Mr. Li, welcome."

He'd just spoken to him on the phone and he'd come over so quickly. It seemed that his medicinal wine was indeed attractive enough.

"Boss Qin invited me to taste the wine. I had to come." Li Qing looked at the apron on Qin Lin in surprise. "Boss Qin, what are you doing?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "When I heard that Mr. Li was here, didn't I plan to prepare a wild all-fish banquet for you? Believe me, I definitely won't disappoint you."

Whatever he said, he would give the other party face.

Moreover, his words were filled with confidence. Wasn't he good at cooking now?

After saying that, Qin Lin didn't forget to say to Gao Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, I invited Mr. Li to taste the wine. Serve him and take out the two bottles of medicinal wine I placed in the storage room previously."

"Okay." Gao Yaoyao nodded and led Li Qing to a table before entering the cubicle behind the bar. She knew that the boss had brought some wine and placed it inside.

Qin Lin also scooped up a Quality 2 wild black carp from the fish pond and walked into the kitchen.

After Li Qing sat down, he said expectantly, "I didn't expect Boss Qin to know how to cook."

Lin Liu smiled.

She was only here for the special variety of okra. She would ask Boss Qin later if he had any.

After the children had enough milk to drink, the mother-in-law at home would not nag anymore. Her life was much better. The key was that the children could not finish drinking. She and her husband could even play some fun in private.

"Mr. Li, this is the wine our boss prepared for you." Gao Yaoyao also brought two bottles over and placed them on the table.

"Thank you," Li Qing thanked him and eagerly picked up one of the bottles. "I'd like to try this wine first."

At the bar, Zhao Moqing looked at Li Qing and his wife curiously. Qin Lin had told her about this Mr. Li before, but when he came in, he looked like an ordinary person. Who would have thought that he was a second-generation heir?

Didn't many people online say that these second-generation heirs were very unbearable and overbearing?

Li Qing had already poured himself a glass of medicinal wine and was savoring it. "This wine already has a mellow fragrance. It's definitely five years old. However, just the taste alone is still much worse than the 20-year-old wine of those two families."

Lin Liu smiled and said, "No matter how good the wine from those two restaurants is, it's very difficult for you to get it. It's not like everyone is so easy to talk to like Boss Qin."

Li Qing shook his head and said, "This kind of wine is produced by those two companies. It's impossible to mass-produce this kind of inherited medicinal wine. It's a pity that Boss Qin's wine was opened after only five years."

Chapter 99

In the kitchen.

Qin Lin quickly dealt with the big fish that he had brought in. He first chopped off the fish head and wanted to use it to make fish head soup.

A moment later, a milky white fish head soup was served.

In addition to those nutritional effects, the Quality 2 wild black carp has the attributes of texture +2 and delicacy +2.

Now, the fish head soup was delicious +3, taste +3, and appetite +1.

+3 attributes. Other than the three Quality 3 Triangular Plum Blossoms, no other +3 attributes had yet to appear.

Now, he had made a +3 attribute one himself.

This was definitely a sense of accomplishment.

Someone like Li Qing had probably never tasted such delicious food before, right?

When the fish head soup was ready, he pressed the serving bell. After a waiter entered, he instructed, "Give this fish head soup to Mr. Li."

"Sure, boss!" The waitress knew who it was. After all, the boss himself had gone out to receive them. She wasn't blind.

The waiter brought the fish head soup to Li Qing and Lin Liu's table. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, our boss made this fish head soup for you personally."

Lin Liu said in surprise, "Hubby, this fish head soup looks very good."

As soon as the fish head soup was served, Li Qing became interested. He picked up the spoon and filled a bowl of soup for himself and his wife. There was a lot of fish head meat that weighed 30 catties. The taste was also very classic. He got a large piece for himself and his wife.

Only then did Li Qing smile and say, "Let's try Boss Qin's cooking."

Almost at the same time, the couple began to taste the fish. A moment later, they were stunned again. They looked at each other almost subconsciously, as if seeking confirmation.

Then, the couple lowered their heads at the same time and drank the fish soup. The delicious taste on their taste buds was extremely real.

This was even more delicious than the last time they came as if it had been raised a notch.

If the same big goods were so different, it must have something to do with cooking.

Lin Liu said in surprise, "Hubby, this fish head soup doesn't seem to be inferior to Old Yang's Red Gate Feast."

Li Qing nodded subconsciously to be sure.

Old Yang was an extraordinary person in Ming City. Although he was a chef, he was also famous in the Ming City's wealthy circle. He relied on his culinary skills to establish a food industry.

The other party had inherited skills, and the four disciples he taught were all famous chefs.

In the past, everyone in the upper echelons of Ming City knew about this Red Gate Feast.

When Old Yang wanted to hold a banquet, he often spent a long time preparing all kinds of ingredients. He only cooked one meal a year. Many people in Ming City were not qualified to enter this banquet because there were limited slots.

He and his wife could taste it every time because of their family.

The taste of the Red Gate Feast could be said to be unique in the entire Min Province.

Unfortunately, Old Yang had been getting older over the years and hadn't cooked a Red Gate Feast in a few years. Although his four disciples were all famous chefs, no one could hold a Red Gate Feast.

Li Qing never expected Boss Qin to have such culinary skills. The taste of this fish head soup was definitely not inferior to Old Yang's Red Gate Feast.

He couldn't help but swallow another bowl. Not only was it beautiful, but the effect of the ingredients was also amazing. The comfortable and warm feeling all over his body was really comfortable.

"You eat first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Li Qing couldn't help but ask his wife curiously. Then, he looked for Gao Yaoyao and said, "Sister, can you bring me to the kitchen to see how Boss Qin makes fish?"

The kitchen was usually off-limits to tourists, but Gao Yaoyao knew that Mr. Li had been invited by the boss, so she nodded and led Li Qing into the kitchen.

When Li Qing entered the kitchen, the first thing he saw was Qin Lin cooking braised fish with a frying pan. He was wearing a simple apron, simple tools, and a simple pot. It seemed different from what he had expected.

It was said that Old Yang had extremely high requirements for these tools.

Qin Lin turned around to get the materials and saw Li Qing. "Mr. Li, the kitchen is so smoky. Why did you come in?"

"This oil smoke is nothing." Li Qing didn't care at all. Instead, he walked to the side and said, "I'm just curious about how Mr. Qin made this fish."

"Isn't it just making fish? What's there to see?" Qin Lin looked at Li Qing and smiled.

He finally understood why Chen Shengfei said that this person was a wonderful person. When interacting with such a person, he clearly had that kind of identity, but he would not make him feel any pressure.

A moment later, Qin Lin finished cooking the braised fish.

"I'll bring it out myself." Li Qing reached out, picked up the braised fish, and left the kitchen. He returned to his table and put the fish down.

"Quickly try this braised fish," Li Qing said to his wife as he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Hubby, it's also very delicious." Lin Liu also ate a piece and couldn't help but praise.

"Yes," said Li Qing. "I finally believe something."

"What?" Lin Liu asked suspiciously.

Li Qing smiled and said, "The most high-end ingredients usually only need to be cooked in the simplest way. Boss Qin used a simple pot and spoon to make such delicious braised fish. He's an extraordinary person like Old Yang. No, Boss Qin is even better than Old Yang."

Soon, Qin Lin brought up another portion of steamed fish. He had also finished making a large wild fish.

"Mr. Li, are you satisfied with the fish?" Qin Lin put down the steamed fish and asked with a smile.

Li Qing said sincerely, "Boss Qin, your fish is definitely the most delicious I've ever eaten."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. As long as Mr. Li is satisfied."

The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened online previously. It was fine as long as they knew it. This way, they would be very comfortable with each other.

Qin Lin and Li Qing chatted for a while before entering the kitchen again. Zhao Moqing thought that he had deliberately hidden the fact that he suddenly knew how to cook fish in the past. If he didn't personally cook fish for her, he would probably have to kneel on the keyboard when he got home.

Li Qing and his wife continued to eat the steamed fish and were completely convinced.

The same fish was made into soup, braised fish, and steamed fish. They were all so delicious.

"Hubby, I feel like I'm going to gain a few pounds." Lin Liu held her full stomach and frowned again. She controlled her figure very well, but the fish was so delicious that she couldn't help it.

Li Qing smiled and comforted her. "It's fine if you weigh a few kilograms. Actually, I prefer you to be curvier…"

"Hmph." Lin Liu snorted and said, "Boss Qin has such high culinary skills. I want to share this with Chu Qing."

Li Qing also hurriedly shook his head at her. "Don't. Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also know Boss Qin. The few times they came previously, Boss Qin didn't cook. This means that Boss Qin really doesn't cook easily, just like how Old Yang only cooks one Red Gate Feast a year."

"Boss Qin will naturally cook for them when he's willing to. If we spread the news, it won't be good for them to beg Boss Qin again."

"Okay." Lin Liu nodded. She understood the ways of the world.

Moreover, she could tell that her husband seemed to want to befriend this Boss Qin.

Chapter 100

Two days had passed!

Youcheng County Hospital.

Zhao Moqing sat with Lin Fen in the waiting area.

Qin Lin walked over with Lin Fen's various examination reports. "Let's go and take a look at the doctor."

After his father's death, his mother had been in poor health. She needed to take medicine to recuperate and had to come to the hospital regularly for a checkup.

Today was the day of the original inspection.

The three of them arrived outside the office of a chief physician.

The small county hospital was not a popular department, so there was not a long queue like in the big cities. There were only a few patients queuing, and it was soon their turn.

"Dr. Xu, this is my mother's medical report. Please take a look." Qin Lin handed the report to the doctor immediately.

Dr. Xu remembered Lin Fen. After all, it was a regular checkup.

"Dr. Xu, how am I doing?" Lin Fen could feel that her health had been very good recently, but when she was hospitalized, she couldn't help but worry about her past condition.

"Huh!" Doctor Xu looked at Lin Fen's data in surprise. "You don't have any problems at all. How have you been recuperating recently?"

"My mother has always been taking care of her body according to the medicine prescribed by Doctor Xu." Qin Lin praised with a smile, but he knew very well in his heart.

...

It would be strange if his mother's health didn't improve after all this time. Under the effects of the Quality 2 bass plus the nutrition +2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice, some of the white hair on his mother's temples was gone.

Doctor Xu smiled when he heard Qin Lin's words. It seemed that the prescription he gave Qin Lin last time was surprisingly good. He had to study it carefully.

According to the inspection data and using the other party's condition as a comparison, the effects of this treatment were astonishing.

Therefore, after Qin Lin left with his mother and Zhao Moqing, Doctor Xu turned on his computer and found the prescription that he had prescribed for Lin Fen.

Qin Lin had already brought Lin Fen into the hospital parking lot. Lin Fen was smiling. She had been in poor health before, but now she finally didn't have to take medicine.

Before the three of them could walk to their cars, they saw a middle-aged couple get out of a car.

"Erhui!" Lin Fen greeted the middle-aged man with a conflicted expression.

"Sister, are you here for another checkup?" Lin Erhui saw that Lin Fen was frowning slightly. After saying that, he seemed to be afraid of giving Lin Fen a chance to speak, so he hurriedly said, "Sister, my child is hospitalized with a fever. I'll go up first."

With that, he left in a hurry. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he entered the hospital.

He really didn't want to touch his sister's family. In the past, he and his brother had said that marrying a fruit seller meant living a hard life. Hadn't that turned out to be the case?

What else would this kind of relative want other than to borrow money from him and affect the quality of life in their family? None of them were as good as the client in his phone. At least the client could give him a commission on the order.

In the parking lot, Lin Fen sighed.

Now, she could only greet her two younger brothers when they bumped into each other.

Zhao Moqing clearly sensed Lin Fen's low mood. She held her arm and said, "Mom, we'll take you to breakfast. By the way, my mom said that she wants to ask you out to go shopping with her in the afternoon."

"Yes, I'll call her this afternoon." Lin Fen smiled and nodded.

She was relieved to see Zhao Moqing.

What was lost could not be returned, and what was returned would not be perfect. It was better to cherish what was in front of her.

From the moment Qin Lin saw Lin Erhui, his expression was calm and he did not say a word. After all, who would feel anything when they saw a stranger?

"Mom, what do you want to eat?" Qin Lin asked after getting into the car. His mother had an empty stomach in the morning for the checkup.

Lin Fen said, "Any lean meat will do."

Zhao Moqing suggested, "Let's go to Shui Nan's place. Their lean meat is delicious. It's on the way to the villa."

"That place!" Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

The old eatery that Zhao Moqing had mentioned was opened by an old couple. Zhao Moqing had brought him there to eat before, and the taste was indeed authentic.

When they arrived at Shui Nan, Qin Lin found a place to park the car and brought them to an old snack bar.

Over the decades, the development of Sand City's snack bars had also been all kinds of cutting corners and machine processing. There were also fewer and fewer old orthodox snack bars.

And the reason this old couple had been able to keep the store open for decades was because of its authentic reputation. Besides, the sauce in this restaurant had been made by the old couple themselves. It tasted very good.

"What can I get you three?" the old man asked, stepping out.

"Three servings of lean meat and one steamed dumpling." Zhao Moqing knew that Qin Lin would order a steamed dumpling every time he came here. He had always said that this restaurant's sauce was delicious.

Looking at Zhao Moqing, Qin Lin smiled. She could always remember what he wanted to eat, even the number of his clothes.

Soon, their order was served.

Qin Lin poured some sauce into a small bowl, picked up a steamed dumpling, and dipped it in before putting it into his mouth.

Admittedly, the dip was delicious.

According to the game attributes, this sauce might be close to Quality 1 according to his judgment. It might even be close to Quality 1.

In the past, when he came with Zhao Moqing, he only felt that it was delicious and did not have any other thoughts. Now that he saw the dipping sauce, he had some ideas. He subconsciously asked the old man, "Boss, are you selling the dipping sauce formula?"

However, the old man shook his head decisively. "It's not for sale. The skills passed down in the family are not passed down to men or to outsiders."

"Uh!" Qin Lin was stunned. This old man's thinking was quite old-fashioned.

The old man's wife teased, "Who do you pass it on to now? Your son's doing renovation, and your grandson's in college. Who wants to open a snack bar with you?"

"Then I'll take it into the coffin too," but the old man snorted.

Qin Lin couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

Their country was vast and had many things passed down since ancient times. However, many things had already disappeared. It was probably lost like this, right?

It was very difficult to make snacks nowadays. The old man's family was obviously unwilling to do this. When the old man could no longer work, this sauce recipe might really be lost.

"Boss, your sauce is really delicious. Can I buy two bottles?" Qin Lin asked again. Apart from wanting to eat it, he wanted to see if this thing was really Quality 1.

The old man did not refuse. He had sold him two bottles for five yuan. Each bottle was about 100 grams. It was too cheap.

Qin Lin really didn't want to see this sauce being lost. He took out another business card and placed it on the table. If the old man changed his mind, he could call him.

Deng Guang had prepared the business card for him. The name of the chairman of Qinglin Food Co. Ltd was written on it.

Naturally, if the old man was determined not to sell, he would not force it. After all, he had the system. A secret recipe for ketchup had just begun to develop. He could only make sour and sweet ones. The sour and spicy ones had not been developed yet.

In the future, he would definitely be able to obtain other secret recipes in the game.

Qin Lin brought his mother and Zhao Moqing back to the villa. As soon as they arrived, an employee ran over. "Boss, the triangular plum potted plants have been trimmed."

The man's name was Yu Shui. He was one of the landscapers hired by the villa to maintain the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea.

"Let's go in and take a look." Qin Lin followed Yu Shui into the backyard. The dozen or so triangular plum potted plants he had cultivated were neatly placed together, and they looked beautiful after being trimmed.

These potted plants were all small family potted plants with trimmed branches. There were already new flower buds that had just bloomed. In other words, the triangular plum potted plants had already succeeded. They had to grow new roots before they could continue blooming.

The triangular plums produced by the game had attributes that made it easy to transplant. Clearly, their survival rate was 100%. However, although these potted plants looked beautiful, they clearly did not have the attributes of the game.

After all, one could easily feel the difference.

Qin Lin went forward and picked up the second basin.

These triangular plums had been tested on the pruned branches of the Quality 2 and 3 trees. They had all been marked. Now, they each took one.

Qin Lin found an empty place and brought two potted plants and a bottle of sauce into the game. Then, he saw the attributes:

[Sauce: Quality 1]

[This is one of Youcheng County's inherited sauces, Guo's Sauce. Because it's exquisite and delicious, it also has the attribute of +1 appetite.]

As expected, this sauce was already Quality 1. It was just that its attributes were lower. It only had an appetite of +1.

'But isn't the purpose of the sauce to promote appetite?'

It was a pity that things were covered in dust. If someone had developed this thing, even if they couldn't reach the level of Lao Gan Ma, it shouldn't be bad.

It had 5,000 years of history. There should be a lot of such lost things.

Then, Qin Lin looked at the two potted plants.

[Triangular plum pot: Quality 1]

[This is a special breed of the symbiotic ornamental triangular plum potted plant. It blooms all year round and has a total of seven colors. Gorgeous +1, ornamental +1.]

[Triangular plum pot: Quality 2]

[This is a special quality ornamental triangular plum potted plant. It has a total of 7 colors throughout the year. It is gorgeous +2, ornamental +2, and in the mirror +1!]
