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

2. Chapter 101 - 200

Chapter 101

Tourist areas usually sell tourist souvenirs. These tourist souvenirs represented the characteristics of the tourist area. They had a collection and gift value.

Tourists don't collect tourist memorabilia because it's antique and priceless. It's a souvenir of a tourist's experience as a vehicle, an expression of the meaning and value of life.

Qinglin Villa does not sell any tourist souvenirs now, and this triangular plum plant could become one of them in the future. It could also represent the characteristics of the villa.

After the triangular plums were transplanted, not only did their quality decrease, but many of their attributes were also gone, such as attractiveness, the easy survival rate of transplants, ecological harmony, and appearance.

Quality 3 degenerated to Quality 2, but it still retained its attributes. After all, there was still Quality 2. It would definitely look good if it degenerated again.

Quality 2 degenerated to Quality 1, but it still retained gorgeous +1, ornamental +1.

If he continued to transplant with these potted plants, the quality and attributes would probably decrease again.

However, regardless of whether it was Quality 1 or 2, there were still some gorgeous and ornamental attributes left. That was definitely more beautiful than ordinary triangular plum potted plants, not to mention that it was in full bloom.

As long as the tourists who bought it back raised it carefully, the blooming leaves and flowers would definitely not be comparable to ordinary potted triangular plums.

The triangular plum plants had to be pruned regularly. The triangular plum plants produced by the game were of Quality 2 and 3. After pruning, the branches grew very quickly and would invade the tourist area. A few landscapers trimmed a lot of branches, and each pruning could nurture a lot of potted plants. It was perfect for recycling.

The triangular plums had no cost. The cost of cultivating the triangular plums was only some artificial and fertilizer soil and flower pots.

And for a family bonsai like this, ordinary single-colored flowers were cheap at 10 to 20 yuan.

That kind of multi-colored would have to be 30-100 yuan.

...

After cultivating 7 colors, he would still need to spend the entire year. Even if his attributes were greatly reduced, it shouldn't be a problem for him to sell Quality 1 for 100 yuan and Quality 2 for 200 yuan, right?

The exact price could be read later.

The most important thing was that no one else could cultivate it. Even if a triangular plum cultivation base bought his potted plant and wanted to cultivate it themselves, its attributes would still decrease. It was far inferior to his potted plant.

Qin Lin had always been a decisive person. After confirming the attributes of the two triangular plum potted plants, he decided to cultivate them.

The small potted plants did not look like they were taller than a person. They could be transplanted with a flower pot and cultivated by cutting the branches. Tourists could even carry them around if they bought them. If tourists wanted to bring them back, they could even bring the high-speed rail up.

Because the Quality 2 and 3 triangular plums had the attribute of being transplanted alive, it was especially easy for the branches to be transplanted. The branches that he tried to cultivate had already grown roots again in half a month. Even the flowers on the original branches did not wither.

This also meant that the cultivation time was short.

However, there was a limit to the number of branches that could be trimmed with just the Quality 2 and 3 of the triangular plums.

Therefore, after the Quality 2 watermelon on the Quality 3 land was ripe and harvested, he controlled his game character to go to the Ore Town Seed Shop and directly bought the seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum seedling (group).

He planned to create some more mature triangular plums. Then, he would transplant these triangular plums to a special place for planting. They were especially used for transplanting potted plants. Only then would Qinglin Triangular Plums be able to form a scale.

After that, Qin Lin found Yu Shui.

Yu Shui was the best among the landscapers. When they first transplanted the triangular plums, Qin Lin asked Master Lin to help supervise them. At that time, Master Lin had also recommended Yu Shui.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Yu Shui immediately ran to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin instructed directly, "Yu Shui, Master Lin recommended you previously. He said that you're diligent, capable, and have good skills. I plan to hire some landscapers to find a place in the wasteland of the villa to cultivate the triangular plum potted plants. I plan to leave this matter to you. Go and see which piece of land is suitable later."

"Boss, no problem." Yu Shui's face lit up.

This was a promotion.

After leaving the hall, Yu Shui immediately ran towards the villa's wasteland, wanting to do what his boss had instructed him to do.

People always wanted to grab onto opportunities.

Big shots had their opportunities, and small people had their opportunities. Even a small promotion and a raise in wages were opportunities for some people.

After Yu Shui went to the wilderness to find a suitable place, Qin Lin also moved the dozen or so triangular plum potted plants he had cultivated from the backyard to the hall and placed them on a table by the window.

More than ten potted plants were placed together, and the seven-colored flowers intertwined. It was really a competition for beauty.

As soon as these potted plants were placed, tourists entering the hall were attracted.

"It's a triangular plum pot. It's actually seven-colored like the ones in the Sea of Flowers."

"Although it's not as stunning as the Sea of Flowers, it's still very beautiful. It's petite and delicate."

"A few pots on the balcony would definitely be nice."

When Qin Lin heard the conversation of these tourists, he felt more confident.

Many flower friends would raise flowers in their homes and balconies and then take good care of them. Triangle plum potted plants were also the choice of many flower friends.

When they arrived at the bar, Qin Lin took out his phone and called Fu Hai's plastic packaging, Zhang Shi.

Not only could it be used to make milk teacups, but it also had to be made into all kinds of products for a small company in a small county. There should be injection basins among them.

Since he was going to get a potted plant, he was sure that there would be flowerpots. There were many kinds of flower pots, such as sandstone, porcelain pots, porcelain pots, and so on. He would only use these pots if he was crazy.

Naturally, he would follow the flow and use the injection basin. He could also create various shapes and base maps.

In the office of Fuhai Plastics, Zhang Shi looked at his phone. When he saw that it was Qin Lin's number, he immediately picked it up.

Qinglin Villa had already signed a long-term contract with him. Moreover, Qinglin Villa's medicinal honey water, fruit tea, milk tea, medium, and small cups could consume more than 2,000 a day, which was nearly 70,000 a month.

This was already a big client of his small company.

Moreover, he knew very well that Qinglin Villa would definitely consume more resources in the future. Everyone could see the construction projects at the villa.

Zhang Shi hurriedly picked up the call. "President Qin, what are your instructions?"

Qin Lin asked directly, "Can you supply flower pots? We also need the Qinglin Villa logo with the triangular plum blossom map."

"Sure." Seeing that business had come knocking, Zhang Shi said anxiously, "I wonder what requirements President Qin has for the appearance? Why don't we take a few popular-looking finished products up the mountain for you to choose from?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the villa." Qin Lin didn't refuse.

After hanging up, Zhang Shi hurriedly left the office and went downstairs to make arrangements.

He didn't dare to be negligent at all. He knew very well that if President Qin spread the news, there would definitely be people snatching this business. For example, Xiao Chen Packaging had failed the previous time.

The first thing President Qin called him now was the credit he had fought for during this period of time. He definitely couldn't waste this opportunity.

After Qin Lin hung up the phone, he returned to the backyard and squatted down in front of the artificial water field to observe.

There were already seeds planted inside, but none of them seemed to be sprouting. It looked like they were about to fail again.

Although there was a chance that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds produced by this game could mutate and adapt to the attributes of the geographical environment, the probability did not seem to be high.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shi arrived with seven different shapes and flowers of different colors.

The picture was still of a triangular sea of plum blossoms with the words "Qinglin Villa". There were cute ones, strange ones, and normal ones.

As soon as he saw the strange-looking one, he immediately eliminated it. Damn it, turning a flower pot into a poop-shaped pot? Which genius came up with this?

In the end, Qin Lin still chose a more normal type. The potted plant sold flowers, so he couldn't steal the limelight. His attention was attracted by the strange flower pot.

In the end, Qin Lin gave Zhang Shi 10,000 orders.

Zhang Shi naturally left happily. When he returned, he would definitely keep an eye on this batch of flower pots. He believed that these flower pots were definitely only the first batch.

He had to cozy up to Qinglin Villa.

Chapter 102

After Zhang Shi left, Qin Lin received another call.

The number surprised him. It was Cheng He, who had come looking for him last time and wanted to be the agent for Qinglin Ketchup.

The other party's call must have resulted from the previous incident.

Qin Lin picked up the call and Cheng He's voice came from the other end. "President Qin, remember to watch Douyin tonight."

Cheng He did not tell Qin Lin directly about Qinglin Ketchup's agent. Instead, he talked about the ketchup market and promotion. This was also a disguised way of saying that he had the ability to be a good agent.

Qin Lin knew Cheng He's motive, but he was looking forward to the battle tonight.

At night.

After Zhao Moqing finished the statistics of the villa, Qin Lin drove her and her mother home.

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, he saw Zhao Moqing shouting excitedly from the bed, "Qin Lin, look at this popular video."

Qin Lin leaned over to watch the video before a smile appeared on his lips.

The popular headline read: "So the counterfeit exposer Chun Chun was paid to defame Qinglin Ketchup. It wasn't because the assistant got the two ketchup types wrong."

The video also showed the chat records of Chun Chun and the person behind her.

This was a direct stone hammer.

...

Qinglin Villa is very popular now. As more and more tourists tasted Qinglin Ketchup, there were also many good reviews. Coupled with Chun Chun's incident, even the popularity of Douyin's long-legged Internet celebrity was overshadowed.

The only thing that could surpass the popularity of Qinglin Villa was the news that the first leading Internet celebrity had been fined 1.3 billion yuan for tax evasion.

As soon as this video of Chun Chun was released, it immediately became a trending topic. Last time, she glossed over it, but this time, she didn't even have the chance to do so. Netizens definitely hated this kind of hypocritical Internet celebrity who used fake flags to make black money everywhere. For a moment, everyone cursed her.

"This is someone who exposes counterfeits? That's a direct hit."

"Hahaha, she's a goner."

"It's all right. Anyway, the fans are very gullible. Even if the stone hammer is hammered, there are fans who believe her."

"…"

Zhao Moqing felt happy that he had gotten his revenge. "Qin Lin, someone posted a screenshot of the comparison. After this video of her became popular, her fans started to drop."

Indeed, as a counterfeit exposer who had been paid to do things, her credibility was gone. It could be said that this account was useless now.

However, Qin Lin knew that this was Cheng He's doing. He was curious how Cheng He had obtained this chat history. Outsiders shouldn't be able to obtain the pure transfer records of the person behind this, right?

That had to make one think.

However, Cheng He's contract with Tasty had expired, and he wanted to represent Qinglin Ketchup. That shouldn't be the case either. The other party didn't seem like an idiot.

However, he could not get an answer by dwelling on this now. For the time being, this ending was what he wanted. The current situation was that Qinglin Ketchup was going to be popular again. This fake person had been purely hammered by a rock. It had also helped him vent his anger.

With that in mind, he took out his phone and called Cheng He.

"Are you satisfied, President Qin?" Cheng He's questioning voice came from the phone.

"I suddenly want to have a drink to celebrate," Qin Lin said. He probed jokingly, "But I'm curious. How did Mr. Cheng get that chat record? This should be the other party's privacy."

Cheng He smiled and explained, "I found out that Chun Chun was in King City at that time. I know one of the managers who checked into that hotel. I secretly found the other party's payment account. Coincidentally, my wife works at the bank. Although there were some violations, I also followed the clues and found out who the person behind it was."

"The market is big, but there are only a few ketchup agents. They always know something. Coincidentally, I know the person behind this. He's an agent of the American brand, Delmon. He has a very messy private life. I got someone to take some indecent videos of him. He's afraid that his wife will find out."

"So, it's just some chat records and transfer records. The other party handed them to me personally. What does the life and death of Chun Chun have to do with the other party?"

"Mr. Cheng, come to Qinglin Villa when you're free!" Qin Lin was not someone who did not keep his promises. Cheng He's explanation was simple, but these actions were definitely not as simple as just a few words.

After hanging up, Qin Lin said to Zhao Moqing, who was still watching the video with a smile, "Now, you can send a lawyer's letter to Chun Chun and sue her. Do you want to vent your anger?"

"Yes!" Zhao Moqing immediately said, "We'll look for Senior Brother Chu tomorrow to write an indictment. He's a barrister at Power Law Firm. We'll make Chun Chun lose everything."

…

The next day, he got up.

Qin Lin contacted Senior Brother Chu again. He would definitely sue Chun Chun. This was no longer about compensation, but attitude.

After that, he went to the factory.

The factory's waffle production line had been removed. Deng Guang had contacted a factory in the county that also made cookies and bought them. Coupled with an area that had been sorted out, it was not a problem for the factory to squeeze in and lower three production lines without exceeding the limit.

However, this kind of flow line could only produce 1,000 bottles an hour. 10 hours a day could produce 10,000 bottles.

Currently, four production lines could only produce 40,000 bottles a day. Even if the three production lines were expanded a few days later, there would only be 70,000 bottles a day and 2.1 million bottles a month.

RT-Mart had ordered 300,000 bottles, which would take five days to produce. In addition, a portion of the villa would also be consumed. After that, when the online sales opened, another portion would definitely be consumed.

That wasn't enough.

No matter what the product was, offline sales were still the mainstream. If he wanted to give Cheng He, the agent, offline sales would definitely have to be enough. 2.1 million bottles would definitely not be enough.

The key was that the villa's turnover had to be continuously invested in the ranch and the manor villa. With the addition of three production lines, they would have to invest all their turnover these days. They did not have enough funds.

As soon as Qin Lin arrived at the factory, Deng Guang came to report, "President Qin, the online sales department has already prepared and especially found a warehouse to package the goods. They are now discussing with Shun Feng, Shen Tong, and Yun Da… The person-in-charge of these express delivery divisions will see which one offers the best price."

Qin Lin subconsciously said, "Just don't look for a postal service! I have to go out of the neighborhood to receive it every time."

The link to this online order would be posted on the official account of the villa.

Qin Lin continued, "Old Deng, I've found an agent here. This small production is already not enough, but we don't have enough funds now."

Deng Guang said, "Then we'll recruit more people. We'll mix the new and old employees and implement a two-shift system. This way, the output can be doubled. The night production employees will be subsidized according to the regulations."

"Yes, subsidies are not a problem." Qin Lin nodded. This was also the fastest way at the moment. After all, their funds were limited.

Qin Lin and Deng Guang discussed some other problems with the factory before returning to the villa at noon.

In the afternoon, after dealing with the villa, Qin Lin controlled the game character to pick up the fishing rod and go fishing by the river.

The fish that had respawned today had yet to be caught.

[You have caught a wild black carp (Quality 1)]

…

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 1)!]

After fishing several wild fish in a row, just as Qin Lin controlled the game character to throw out the fishing rod again, he received another notification:

[The fishing rod has met the upgrade requirements. You can go to the blacksmith shop to upgrade it to a Level 2 copper fishing rod!]

After receiving this notification, Qin Lin's eyes lit up. He immediately controlled his game character to retract his fishing rod and head to the blacksmith shop in Ore Town.

In Ranches Story, not only could the fishing rod be upgraded to catch more types of fish, but it was also more likely to catch high-quality fish.

Chapter 103

In the Ore Town Forging Shop, Qin Lin received a notification through his game character:

[The fishing rod has been upgraded to a copper fishing rod. I heard that the owner of the seed shop can make a special LV2 bait. With the copper fishing rod, it can increase the chances of catching high-quality fish.]

[Copper Fishing Rod]

[Powered-up LV2. It can be used to fish deeper areas. Coupled with LV2 bait, it can be used to fish more types of fish. It has an increased fishing chance of catching Quality 2 fish.]

After reading the fishing rod's information, Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to head to the seed shop.

The seed store sold bait. He wondered what the brains of this new version of the game planner were thinking.

In the old version of Ranches Story, the probability of catching a higher-level fish increased as long as the fishing rod was upgraded.

This new version seemed to be different. In addition to the LV2 copper fishing rod, it had to be specially equipped with bait.

Upgrading the fishing rod could accumulate more power, fish deeper, and then lure more advanced fish. This seemed reasonable.

Because there were six boxes of land and ringing water for sale in the game, as well as gold, silver, and copper from the mines, there was no shortage of game gold coins now.

[Bait: Level 2]

[The seed shop owner is a fishing enthusiast. This is a special bait he made. It needs to be used with the LV2 copper fishing rod in the game!]

From the information on the bait, it was obvious that it could only be used with the game fishing rod.

...

After buying bait, Qin Lin controlled the game character to return to the riverside and started fishing again.

A moment.

A notification of a fish taking the bait appeared in the game. The game character pulled up the hook and a fish was brought out of the water.

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 2)!]

He caught a wild bass of Quality 2 on his first try.

He controlled the game character to take the bait again and threw out the fishing rod. A moment later, another fish was caught.

[You have caught a wild black carp (Quality 2)]

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 2)!]

Three fish in a row were all Quality 2.

The effect of the copper fishing rod and the bait seemed to be astonishing.

Previously, his LV1 iron fishing rod could catch 35 fish a day, but it was only 3-4 Quality 2.

Qin Lin continued to control his game character to fish.

There were still many fish that had not been caught today.

[You have caught a wild grass carp (Quality 1)]

[You have caught a wild ornamental flowerhorn fish (Quality 1)]

After Qin Lin finally caught a Quality 1 wild fish, he actually caught another ornamental flowerhorn fish.

This should be a new type of fish, an ornamental fish.

He immediately controlled his game character to continue fishing. He would catch all 35 fish today first.

[You have caught a wild grass carp (Quality 2)]

[You have caught a wild bass (Quality 1)!]

[You have caught a wild ornamental cichlid (Quality 1)]

…

[You have obtained a wild ornamental redtail catfish (Quality 1)]

[There don't seem to be any fish in the river. Please wait for the refresh to resume!]

After Qin Lin received the notification that he had finished fishing today, he controlled the game character to retract his fishing rod and head towards the fish pond.

With the upgrade of the fishing rod and the open bait, of the 35 fish caught today, 24 were of Quality 2, eight were of Quality 1, and there were three other wild ornamental fish.

The wild fish of Quality 2 could not be eaten even if others wanted to, but he could not finish it at all.

24 Quality 2 wild fish a day meant 240 fish in 10 days, and 720 fish a month.

What would happen if 720 wild big fish were taken into the fish pond?

It would definitely shock everyone.

He could imagine that scenario, but then he would be in trouble too. He could only imagine.

However, he was curious about the three ornamental fish, the cichlid, the redtail catfish, and the flowerhorn fish. Previously, the dwarf Arnie's fishing competition had given him a wild albino tiger fish of Quality 2 for him to sell for 650,000 yuan.

Now that the fishing rod had been upgraded, it could even catch ornamental fish with LV2 bait.

Moreover, it was only Quality 1 now. If the fishing rod was upgraded to an LV3 Silver Fishing Rod, it should be able to catch a Quality 2 ornamental fish that was at the level of the wild albino tiger fish last time, right?

Qin Lin thought about it and found an empty place to enter the game to replace his game character.

He walked to the fishpond and saw its statistics.

He skipped the ordinary wild fish with Quality 1 and 2 and directly looked at the information of the three ornamental fish.

[Wild Flowerhorn Fish: Quality 1]

[This is a very beautiful fish. Looks +1, texture +1, delicious +1!]

[Wild Cichlid: Quality 1]

[This is a very beautiful fish. Looks +1, texture +1, delicious +1!]

[Wild Ornamental Redtail Catfish: Quality 1]

[This is a very beautiful fish. Looks +1, texture +1, delicious +1!]

These were clearly three delicious-tasting ornamental fish.

Qin Lin really didn't understand ornamental fish, so he simply took out his phone and took a set of photos of all three fish. Then, he exited the game and took out his phone to look for In Sheng's WeChat number.

Previously, the commission for selling wild albino tiger fish was transferred to the other party through WeChat. Now, he could ask the other party about the price of these three types of fish.

After sending the photo, Qin Lin sent another message. "Boss Lin, help me look at the price of these three fish."

Lin Sheng quickly replied, "Mr. Qin, are you selling fish again?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "Boss Lin, this fish was distributed by someone else. I want to buy it, but I don't know the price."

He had no intention of selling the ornamental fish.

Since he could catch ornamental fish in this game, even if he could only catch three fish a day, there would be 30 fish in 10 days. That would be 90 fish a month, which meant 1,080 fish a year.

Moreover, the fishing rod would definitely be able to catch higher quality and more types of ornamental fish.

Then he could totally set up a small aquarium and take out ornamental fish from the game all year round. He definitely wouldn't lack fish.

When the rafting project and the restaurant project were completed, the tourists would eat at the restaurant. The hall would also be moved to the main hall of the rafting project, which was much larger than this place.

When the time came, the hall here could be transformed into an aquarium. The main building would not be affected and the interior would be empty. The main thing was that it would be more troublesome to modify the organic tempered glass and water cycle.

These still needed to be done professionally. Sun Ming's Youcheng County Construction might not even work. Then, it would be another project that could be diverted.

At this moment, Lin Sheng replied, "Mr. Qin, the appearance of these three fish is very good. However, the redtail catfish and the cichlid are common ornamental fish. Their prices are similar and not too high. According to the quality, your two fish are about 4,000-6,000 yuan."

"On the other hand, that flowerhorn fish will be more expensive. According to the quality, it should be about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Naturally, this is only a preliminary observation. I can only judge the details when I see the fish. After all, many situations can affect the price."

After obtaining this price, Qin Lin roughly understood. Although it was far inferior to the wild albino tiger fish, the price of this Quality 1 flowerhorn fish far exceeded that of the Quality 2 wild grass carp, bass, and black carp.

Wild grass carp, bass, and black carp still had a lot of nutrients, but they could not compare to the quality of the flowerhorn fish.

Therefore, people often said that one could not be superficial. However, in this era where looks mattered, even if one was full of talent, one might not necessarily be able to compare to someone who was superficial.

The company required good facial features to recruit employees. Didn't men choose their girlfriends because they were good-looking?

There were definitely men who did not pay attention to appearance. He was definitely not there for milk tea because the server was young and beautiful.

But most men who said they didn't care about a woman's appearance should be lying, right?

There had to be a bottom line, right?

Chapter 104

Qin Lin thought about it and sent another message to Lin Sheng. "Sorry to trouble you, Boss Lin. I remember that Boss Lin sells aquariums. I want to order one."

Until the rafting project and the restaurant project were completed, the aquarium transformation could not be carried out.

On the other hand, after the sales center was opened, the place where the shelves were originally placed in the hall was withdrawn. It was much emptier, but it also looked too empty. Since he had caught some ornamental fish in the game, he decided to buy an aquarium to decorate it first.

When Lin Sheng saw that business was here, he immediately replied, "I wonder what kind of aquarium you need, Mr. Qin? Or you can tell me your request and I'll recommend it to you."

Qin Lin had never studied this before, so he told Lin Sheng his request.

A moment later, Lin Sheng replied, "Mr. Qin's request is to at least display a dual temperature-controlled aquarium. I happen to have one here. I originally wanted to use it myself, but I can transfer it to Mr. Qin first. However, it's a little expensive and costs 5,000 yuan."

"Alright, I'll order this," Qin Lin replied before transferring 5,000 yuan to Lin Sheng.

"Mr. Qin, you're straightforward. In that case, I'll give you a small spare container and some water tank decorations." Lin Sheng sent a smiley emoji and then sent another message. "Mr. Qin, send me the address. It might be too late today. I'll bring someone over to install it for you tomorrow."

Qin Lin also sent the location of Qinglin Villa to Lin Sheng.

In Thuimai Ornamental Fish Shop, Lin Sheng was already working on his computer to fill in a shipping message. It was naturally impossible for him to send the exhibition aquarium alone.

He still remembered Mr. Qin very well. After all, the 650,000-dollar wild albino tiger fish had made him a broker and earned him a commission of 13,000 yuan.

Seeing that he had received another message on WeChat, he immediately picked up his phone. It should be from Mr. Qin. He had sent a specific location.

"Qinglin Villa?" Lin Sheng was stunned.

...

He naturally knew about Qinglin Villa. Right now, this villa is extremely popular in Youcheng County. It had a triangular plum blossom sea, medicinal honey water, Qinglin Ketchup, and was always popular. He could often see it in Douyin.

Qinglin Villa was about to become Youcheng County's business card now. After all, the trending videos about Douyin were searched online. When introducing the location of Qinglin Villa, the word Youcheng County naturally appeared.

As someone from Youcheng County, he would have a special strange feeling every time he watched a video of Qinglin Villa.

Now that he saw people talking about Qinglin Villa in some WeChat groups, he couldn't help but say, "That's from my hometown, Youcheng County."

When the scenic spots of his hometown were known, he actually felt honored.

"Qin Lin, Qinglin?" Lin Sheng subconsciously sent a WeChat message to Qin Lin. "Mr. Qin is the boss of Qinglin Villa?"

"Yes." Qin Lin had no need to hide it from Lin Sheng. "I'll send Mr. Lin a few tickets to the Sea of Flowers tomorrow. Mr. Lin, bring your family over to play when you're free."

Lin Sheng found it unbelievable that his wife and a few close friends were discussing who the boss of Qinglin Villa was. It turned out that the boss of Qinglin Villa, who had always been popular, was on his social media. He even knew him.

He immediately called his wife with a hint of smugness. "Wifey, didn't you say that you wanted to go to Qinglin Villa to play? It turns out that I know the owner of the villa. He said that he would give me a few tickets. I'll take you and our son to play in the next few weekends."

…

Early the next morning.

Not long after Qin Lin moved the items from the game to the villa, Lin Sheng arrived with his men. He drove the three-wheeled truck to the villa's main hall.

The moment Lin Sheng saw Qin Lin, he said very warmly, "Mr. Qin, we will meet again. I didn't expect you to be the boss of Qinglin Villa. Where do you want this aquarium?"

"Boss Lin, put it over here." Qin Lin led Lin Sheng into the hall and pointed at a spot.

"Alright, I'll install it for Mr. Qin now." Lin Sheng instructed someone to carry the water tank and seriously assembled it on the original shelf.

After some time, Lin Sheng installed the aquarium and filled it with water. He also arranged stones, water plants, and other arrangements inside.

When it was done, even if there were no fish in the aquarium, it was already somewhat beautiful.

After there were no problems with the test, Lin Sheng chatted with Qin Lin again. He explained the matters and gave some suggestions for raising fish. In addition, he gave him fish fodder and said that if there was no fish fodder in the future, he would send it over immediately.

Qin Lin naturally returned the favor by giving the other party a few tickets to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea.

After sending Lin Sheng off, Qin Lin entered the game with the small container Lin Sheng had given him.

There was no problem with this small container containing a few fish that were not too big. It could be used as a transportation tool.

Qin Lin brought the three ornamental fish out of the game and placed the wild cichlid, flowerhorn fish, and redtail catfish into the aquarium.

In an instant, three fish started swimming in the aquarium, adding life to it.

Qin Lin put in some fish food and the three fish wandered over and wolfed down the fish food.

"Boss, you bought ornamental fish?" Gao Yaoyao entered the hall and went to the aquarium in surprise. "These three fish are so beautiful."

"Yaoyao, take care of this aquarium in the future." Qin Lin nodded and instructed Gao Yaoyao. He also told her about the things to take note of.

Then, Qin Lin thought of something and entered the game again.

When he came out of the game again, he was already holding a fishing rod and a small ball of fish food.

It was the LV2 copper fishing rod from the game and the matching LV2 bait.

There were many magical props in Ranches Story, such as statues, secret treasures, and flying stones…

Such things carried some ability that was difficult to understand in reality.

Food could still have game effects in reality, but he did not know about these props.

Now, he could take out the fishing rod to experiment. The best way to experiment was naturally to fish, not to go to the fish pond. The fish pond was small, and there were too many fish to verify.

He was going to fish at the reservoir.

This reservoir was more than 60 years old. It was large and the water was deep. There were many fish in it, especially at the intersection. There were also large wild fish there. It was a good time to test the effect of the copper fishing rod.

Qin Lin was about to go to the reservoir with his fishing rod and bucket when he was surprised to see Chen Shengfei walking into the villa with the two of them.

One of them had seen him before. It was Chen Shengfei's driver. The other was a middle-aged man.

"Boss Qin, I'm here to disturb you again." Chen Shengfei smiled when he saw Qin Lin.

"Mr. Chen, it's my honor to have you here. How can you be disturbing me?" Qin Lin praised him before looking at the middle-aged man and asking, "Who is this gentleman?"

Chen Shengfei smiled and explained, "His name is Lu Jianxian, the boss of a company I'm cooperating with in Ming City. Today, while I was discussing something with him, I secretly came to your place to try some wild goods."

Lu Jianxian looked at this scene in confusion. He knew about Qinglin Villa because Chen Shengfei had been defamed here before. However, he felt that Chen Shengfei's identity was a little too polite to the owner of the villa.

At this moment, Chen Shengfei also introduced to Lu Jianfei, "President Lu, this is Boss Qin from the villa. He's very popular here and Li Qing comes here often."

When Lu Jian heard Li Qing's name, he was shocked. He immediately smiled and shook hands with Qin Lin. "Boss Qin, Chairman Chen and I have suddenly arrived. Sorry for disturbing you."

Chapter 105

Lu Jianxian might now know why someone like Chen Shengfei was so polite to the boss of such a villa.

Li Qing probably didn't just come here often, right?

If the other party was just here to play, why would Chen Shengfei have such an attitude?

Qin Lin naturally didn't know what Lu Jianxian was thinking. He just felt that Lu Jianxian didn't have the humility that Chen Shengfei and Marlewen gave him, even though he was smiling.

Chen Shengfei saw the fishing rod in Qin Lin's hand and asked curiously, "Boss Qin, are you going fishing? To the fish pond?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "I'm going to the reservoir. It's an old reservoir that's more than 60 years old. There are many wild goods there."

"Mr. Qin, wait for me. I'll go with you." Chen Shengfei suddenly became interested and instructed the driver at the side, "Go to the parking lot and help me bring in the two fishing rods in the trunk."

Previously, he had also seen the news of an old reservoir letting out water. There were dozens of wild big goods under the reservoir.

The reservoirs that had been holding water for decades were actually natural fish reservoirs. It was just that it was usually difficult to catch large goods at the bottom of the reservoirs.

Hearing Qin Lin's words, as a fishing enthusiast, he was really eager to try.

The driver heard the order and turned toward the parking lot of the villa.

Seeing Chen Shengfei's expectant expression, Qin Lin could only wait.

Not long after, the other party's driver returned with two fishing rods, fish food, and a bucket containing hooks, wheels, drops, drifts, and other items.

...

This thing was quite complete.

Who would have thought that a tycoon like Chen Shengfei would have these things in his car?

"Boss Qin, let's go!" Chen Shengfei said and handed one of the fishing rods to Lu Jianxian. "Old Lu, this is for you."

Lu Jianxian was a little helpless. He had long heard that Chen Shengfei liked to fish, but he really didn't. Didn't he say that he brought him here to eat delicious wild goods? Why did he drag him out to fish?

It was already winter. Wouldn't it be torture to go to the reservoir?

However, although their company was partners with Chen Shengfei, their company relied on him more. He did not dare to refuse and could only follow behind with his fishing rod.

Qin Lin led Chen Shengfei and Lu Jianxian to the east side of the reservoir.

Their villa was close to the west, not far from the reservoir drain.

Most fishermen knew not to fish in the reservoir drains. Firstly, the current was strong. Secondly, there would not be any big fish in this area, so they had to walk in.

But not long after, Qin Lin saw another unexpected person.

Wasn't this Liu Hua?

The other party seemed to be darker than before, and his face was much more haggard. He was walking out with a bucket that seemed to be filled with many fish and prawns.

Could this guy still think that he could catch wild albino tiger fish here and was still trying?

What was wrong with having this tenacity?

Liu Hua was still a little embarrassed when he saw Qin Lin. He was secretly catching wild albino tiger fish here. He really didn't want to bump into Qin Lin unless he really caught the fish.

Qin Lin couldn't be bothered with Liu Hua and continued walking in with Chen Shengfei.

Liu Hua looked at the fish, crabs, and prawns in the bucket and frowned.

Although these things could be sold for some money, why couldn't he catch a wild albino tiger fish?

He even broke up with his girlfriend in order to catch this fish.

How could he be satisfied until he caught one?

He watched Qin Lin leave and secretly followed him.

He felt that the location the other party mentioned previously was definitely a lie. The location where the other party caught the wild albino tiger fish was definitely not that area.

…

Not long after.

Qin Lin brought Chen Sheng to a relatively stable spot in the middle of the reservoir.

There happened to be a small, sloping terrace, a good spot for fishing.

The conditions were limited, so he could only find a rock to use as a stool.

Chen Shengfei followed suit. When fishing, he could overcome many situations.

On the other hand, Lu Jianxian was a little helpless. His butt hurt from sitting on the rock.

After Qin Lin sat down, he took out the LV2 bait from the game and threw it out. The hook and bait instantly fell into the water.

When Chen Shengfei saw Qin Lin use the rod to pierce through the bait and throw it away, he said in surprise, "Boss Qin, is fishing this simple?"

He used fishing rods that he had assembled himself. Every fishing line and float had to be tuned, and then the bait had to be mixed by hand. He had even specially consulted a fishing master and knew how to fish with a high success rate.

Boss Qin seemed a little casual to him. He didn't even have a net.

As Chen Shengfei thought about it, he continued to adjust his fishing rod. When he adjusted his fishing rod, he was surprised to find that the fishing rod in Qin Lin's hand had started to shake.

A fish had taken the bait.

"So soon?" Chen Shengfei was a little surprised.

Qin Lin reeled in the line. It was a tilapia fish. He was a little surprised to remove the fish from the hook.

Although he was not good at fishing, he had seen others fishing in the reservoir. They might not come up for half a day. How long had it been since he had casually thrown it down?

This should be the effect of the LV2 fishing rod and LV2 bait.

With that in mind, he loaded the bait again and swung the fishing rod in another direction.

A moment later, Chen Shengfei also prepared the bait and threw the fishing rod out.

Seeing that Qin Lin had caught one so easily, he gave up on the idea of hunting. There should be a lot of fish in this reservoir.

Looking at the tilapia fish in Qin Lin's bucket, he smiled and said, "Boss Qin, your luck seems to be pretty good today. Let's compete and see whose fish takes the bait first this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lin's fishing rod started shaking crazily again.

Another fish had taken the bait.

"?" Chen Shengfei opened his mouth and gradually looked embarrassed.

Qin Lin reeled in the line and took the fish down again. "Mr. Chen, what did you just say?"

"Nothing!" Chen Shengfei had selective amnesia.

"Oh!" Qin Lin placed the fish in the bucket, confirming his thoughts.

This was definitely the effect of a fishing rod and bait.

In other words, such items in the game would retain their attribute effects like watermelons and fish.

Qin Lin got on the bait again and threw it out.

This time, no fish took the bait for a long time.

The reservoir was so big that not all areas had fish. Only if there were fish beside them would they be attracted by the bait.

This was also why many people wanted to catch fish in order to gather them together.

Qin Lin retracted his fishing rod. This time, it was empty. He reloaded the bait and threw it towards another area.

Chen Shengfei had already thrown down the bait. It was only normal for him to feel empty when he saw Qin Lin. It seemed that he was extremely lucky the first two times.

Although he wasn't a master, he was still a professional at fishing. If he couldn't catch a fish, how could he still have the face to call himself a professional in the future?

Just as Chen Shengfei was thinking this, he saw Qin Lin's fishing rod shake violently.

"?" Chen Shengfei.

Qin Lin reeled the fish in.

This time it was a large catfish.

After putting the fish in the bucket, he put on the bait again and swung it in another direction.

Now, the speed of this fishing was not in the fishing rod and bait. In the place he had chosen, as long as he chose a place with fish, under the game-attribute fishing rod and bait, he would immediately take the bait.

Qin Lin seemed to be very lucky this time. Not long after the bait was thrown, the fishing rod started shaking crazily again.

Besides, there seemed to be a lot of activity this time.

"…" Chen Shengfei looked at this scene and then at the fishing rod in his hand.

On what basis?

He was here to fish. Boss Qin was probably here to stock up!

Chapter 106

This time, Qin Lin's fishing rod movement was indeed a little violent.

Even with his grip tight on the rod, it wobbled wildly, as if trying to escape his grasp.

Immediately after, he felt a strong force from the fishing rod that almost slipped out of his hand. In order to hold the fishing rod tightly, he was pulled a step forward.

"Big goods! Boss Qin, quickly swim the fish." Chen Shengfei subconsciously shouted as he stared at the fishing line.

As a fishing enthusiast, whether it was himself or the people around him, they could not help but feel excited when they caught something big.

Qin Lin still knew what it meant to be a fisherman. Usually, one couldn't relax before catching a big fish. Many people caught big fish because they were careless.

Wasn't there news online that a young man caught a big fish? Not only did the fish not come up, but he also lost his fishing rod and went into the water himself.

The netizens all teased that this person had used all his strength on his wife the night before.

This kind of wild fish in the reservoir was fierce and cunning. They needed to swim until the fish ran out of strength.

Qin Lin and the fish were in a stalemate for a while before he pulled the fish to the shore. It was a black carp. From afar, one could tell that it was quite big.

Chen Shengfei hurriedly took the net and filled it with fish.

Boss Qin had eaten a lot of big items in the villa. This was the first time he had seen this big item being fished up from the wilderness.

Lu Jianxian, who was at the side, did not understand what Chen Shengfei was thinking. He was the chairman of a large corporation, yet he rolled up his pants and ran on the mud.

...

Was there a need to be so passionate?

In a moment, the unlucky black carp was brought up by Chen Shengfei. It weighed more than 20 catties. Chen Shengfei grabbed the fishtail and raised his hand to his waist. The fish head was almost hanging to the ground, and it could not even fit the bucket.

He could only throw the fish to the ground first and sink into self-doubt.

They were both fishing, but Boss Qin casually caught fish consecutively and even caught such a big fish. Meanwhile, he didn't even see the shadow of a fish.

In the distance.

Liu Hua, who had secretly followed them, saw it too. His eyes were bright. He thought his guess was right. He had not caught a fish this big in so long.

"Boss Qin, isn't your bait a little special?" Chen Shengfei looked at the big guy and asked curiously.

This was all he could think of. After all, the effect of the fishing rod was that it affected the operation, weight-bearing, and other factors.

Boss Qin's fishing rod was obviously a fixed one. A newbie's simple and crude fishing rod was far inferior to the fishing rod in his hand that was worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Then it was the bait's problem.

"Try it." Qin Lin smiled and handed some LV2 bait to Chen Shengfei.

The fishing bait had to be used with the LV2 fishing rod. It should be useless if Chen Shengfei used it alone.

Qin Lin put on the bait and found an area to hook the rod into the water again.

Chen Shengfei thought that it was because of the bait and started looking forward to it.

However, a moment later, he saw the fishing rod in Qin Lin's hand shake again. A bass weighing 2 catties was caught again.

"…" Chen Shengfei.

Next, he watched as Qin Lin took the fish, put it on the bait, and swung the hook again. He repeated this action, and then the fish were caught one after another.

There didn't seem to be a problem with the bait either?

Chen Shengfei suddenly felt a sense of defeat.

It was too damn demoralizing. It had nothing to do with bait, either. Then it was purely a technical problem.

Previously, he had seen the video of the fishing master, Deng Gang, the Sobbing Fish Farm on the Internet. He had found it unbelievable. The same fishing rod bait was in that guy's hand, but why did it seem like the fish had bumped into the other party's fishing rod?

Looking at Boss Qin's skills now, he seemed to be even more impressive than Deng Gang.

There were probably not many such people in the fishing circle.

After thinking it through, Chen Shengfei did not hesitate anymore. There was no way to compare.

It was no wonder that Boss Qin's villa could get so many big goods. It was said that every time Deng Gang fished, he would sweep the goods. Sometimes, he would especially look for those old reservoirs to fish for big goods.

Qin Lin caught a few more fish in a row and filled the buckets that he and Chen Shengfei had brought. At this moment, Chen Shengfei's fishing rod caught a 3-catty black carp.

"Mr. Chen, let's go back!" Qin Lin said happily. This was the joy of sweeping up goods. Most importantly, even if the bucket was full, there was no place to store it. If it was in his fish pond, he could just throw the fish back. In any case, the tourists would quickly catch them back and consume them.

However, if it was placed back in the reservoir, the fish would probably die soon. There were many bacteria in the water, and the injured fish's mouth was easily inflamed.

Wild fishing generally did not advocate putting the fish back into the water.

"Let's go back!" Chen Shengfei looked at the fish in the bucket and decided not to fish beside Boss Qin anymore. It was really boring.

Lu Jianxian was the happiest when he saw that the two of them were going back.

He really couldn't understand the mentality of someone who was still fishing by the lake in the middle of winter.

This was torture, no?

After the three of them left, a figure sneaked to the same spot as before. It was Liu Hua.

"I'll come here tomorrow," Liu Hua muttered to himself.

...

Qin Lin brought Chen Shengfei and Lu Jian back to the villa's hall first. Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "Boss Qin, are we going to deal with this big fish today?"

"Alright, treat me to lunch today." Qin Lin also wanted to try the taste of the big fish he had caught outside, so he waved at the security guard patrolling at the side.

The security guard stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Boss, what can I do for you?"

"Let Master Lin cook the big goods inside and some other dishes. I'll treat Mr. Chen to a meal. As for the other fish, let Master Lin cook them for the staff." Qin Lin instructed the security guard and led Chen Shengfei and Lu Jianxian to a table at the side.

The security guard immediately carried the fish into the kitchen.

"Boss Qin, do you have ornamental fish?" Chen Shengfei saw the aquarium beside him and walked forward to take a look.

Lu Jianxian said, "Cichlid, redtail catfish, and flowerhorn fish. They have some value based on the quality. The most expensive one is this flowerhorn fish. It's worth about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, but it's still considered an ordinary ornamental fish. I saw a wild albino tiger fish in Ming City's Aquarium City before. That's a classic. Unfortunately, the boss doesn't sell it."

"If you don't understand this, President Lu, what's the point of wasting money on this?" Chen Shengfei shook his head. He liked fishing, but he really had no interest in ornamental fish.

"…" Lu Jianxian was speechless. He really wanted to ask Chen Shengfei, What's the point of spending money on those fishing rods? But he didn't dare. He had money, but it was far from Chen Sheng Fei. He even counted on the other party's company.

Qin Lin was stunned when he heard the wild albino tiger fish. He had sold one before.

After the three of them sat down at a table, Chen Shengfei asked, "Boss Qin, I heard from Old Ma that you have a medicinal wine here. Can you sell me a bottle?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "That wine is a little small, but since Mr. Chen has asked, we can still sell one bottle. However, let me make it clear first that the price is not cheap."

Chen Shengfei immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know. I've heard the price from Old Ma. It's only 5,000 yuan per catty. The key is that there must be something."

One catty was 5,000 yuan. This was the price of Qinglin Medicine Wine for three years.

Qin Lin had originally planned to pay 1,000 yuan per catty, but he learned from Li Qing that the medicinal wine passed down by the two Chinese medicine families in Min Province for half a year to two years was basically above 3,000-5,000 yuan.

His affect was no weaker than the other party's. There was no reason to lower his value.

It could be seen in Li Qing's desire at that time.

Moreover, he did not intend to sell this wine on a large scale. He wanted to restrict sales like the two stores that Li Qing mentioned. Naturally, he did not want his items to be lower than those two stores.

"Mr. Lu, do you want to bring a bottle back?" Qin Lin asked Lu Jianxian first politely. After all, he had come with Chen Shengfei.

Chen Shengfei was the first guest of the villa. Ma Liewen and Li Qing could come because of Chen Shengfei. In addition, they got along quite well with Chen Shengfei, so he had to give him enough face.

"Forget it, I'm not used to medicinal wine." Lu Jianxian shook his head. None of the medicinal wines on the market was useful. They were all just bragging about buying it for a psychological effect.

Especially after a channel found out what happened to the medicinal wine, he had long stopped buying medicinal wine.

5,000 yuan for a catty of wine. He might as well get someone to buy Maotai liquor.

However, under such circumstances, he had no choice but to find an excuse. Otherwise, he would be embarrassing Chen Shengfei.

Chapter 107

Qin Lin was stunned when he heard Lu Jianxian's words.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who did not want his medicinal wine.

Most importantly, he could vaguely sense that the other party seemed to be very disdainful.

Then, he wouldn't insist.

In the future, not everyone could buy this medicinal wine. This time, it was because of Chen Shengfei. In the future, if the other party wanted to buy it again, it would depend on his mood.

Lu Jianxian naturally did not know about this. He still looked as sober as ever.

Chen Shengfei did not remind him.

Since Lu Jianxian had rejected Mr. Qin's good intentions, it would be bad if he spoke again. Under normal circumstances, Lu Jianxian was indeed not qualified to come into contact with such things.

He and Ma Liewen still had a chance to get their hands on some of the medicinal wine passed down by the two Chinese medicine schools. Lu Jianxian did not even have a chance.

Chen Shengfei also changed the topic and asked about Qinglin Ketchup. "Boss Qin, I've been paying attention to your ketchup. It's very popular now, but your promotion and sales don't seem to be keeping up."

"There's a problem with the funds. The production is limited, but we're already working two shifts. The production will reach 140,000 bottles a day soon." Qin Lin did not hide it. As long as the new factory's products exploded in popularity, they would face this problem.

In order to expand those production lines, he had already spent most of the villa's daily turnover.

He thought about a loan, but a loan bank also depended on the value of your factory. The program would not approve too much money there, nor would it meet his current needs.

...

"It's still too little." Chen Shengfei shook his head and said, "Why don't you apply for a special corporate guidance fund? The popularity of your villa can bring a lot of benefits to Youcheng County, right?"

"Now that this tomato sauce is so popular, if we hurry up and expand, we can occupy more markets. When the time comes, we can also increase jobs, Youcheng County's reputation, and taxes… It's a series of benefits. I wonder if Youcheng County has a special large corporate guidance fund. You can ask around."

Lu Jianxian agreed first. "That's right. It would be a waste not to use the official money."

Chen Shengfei reminded him again, "If there's a special fund, don't use capital to invest. The officials will definitely send people to invest. It's equivalent to being tied up and using interest and debt. It's not like the products won't be able to pay back the money. If you want to invest capital, you might as well look for Old Ma and me."

Qin Lin nodded.

Actually, he was already thinking about this. 140,000 bottles of ketchup a day, after deducting what the villa and the Internet had ordered, the remaining would probably not be enough to expand the market.

He had to find out if there was such a special fund in the county.

Previously, the villa had applied for a support fund of 23 million yuan. He felt that spending the official money was really satisfying.

As for looking for Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen to raise money, perhaps he could do so in the future when he needed it. He hadn't thought about it yet.

As they chatted, the waiter brought up the big black carp he had caught, along with some other dishes. As he had not specially prepared the Quality 2 okra and yams, this meal only had Quality 1.

Qin Lin picked up his chopsticks immediately, wanting to know the difference between the taste of wild goods in reality and those in the game.

But as he ate the fish, he frowned slightly.

Because the texture and taste were wrong.

It wasn't that it wasn't delicious, but compared to the taste and texture of ordinary fish, it was still much worse.

"Old Lu, come and try it. It's all good stuff. Boss Qin's wild fish are top-notch delicacies. You'll definitely forget to return." Chen Shengfei also picked up his chopsticks and greeted Lu Jianxian.

When Lu Jianxian heard this, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, he looked at Chen Shengfei with a strange expression. This was an ultimate delicacy?

This fish was delicious, but it wasn't like the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion didn't have such fish. Why would they come all the way to this villa to eat it?

Most importantly, did Chen Shengfei need to brag like that? He seemed to be flattering the owner of the villa.

Could it be that the relationship between the owner and Li Qing was really extraordinary?

Thinking of this, Lu Jianxian was even more certain. Otherwise, why would Li Qing keep coming to such a villa? Why would Chen Shengfei be so polite to the owner of this villa?

After Chen Shengfei ate the fish, he looked at Qin Lin in shock. There was something wrong with this big fish today. It no longer had that smell.

Seeing Chen Shengfei's puzzled expression, Qin Lin fabricated, "It should be related to the water quality."

Chen Shengfei nodded and did not ask further. There were many reasons that affected the taste of the fish. The water quality was indeed one of them. Unfortunately, he had chosen a low-quality fish this time.

This meal was indeed a pity for Chen Shengfei. Although the Quality 1 okra and 1 yam had some effects, they were still far inferior to the Quality 2.

After Lu Jianxian finished eating, he felt that he had guessed correctly. This meal was similar to the private kitchen meal at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. It was not to the extent that Chen Shengfei had specially come over. However, he also smiled and praised, "Boss Qin's food is really good. It's top-notch and delicious. I can't forget it."

It was just bragging. With Li Qing having a good relationship with this villa, he had to go against his conscience and brag.

These words made Chen Shengfei and Qin Lin look at each other awkwardly.

What was he bragging about?

This meal was ruined.

At this moment.

Gao Yaoyao came over to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Boss, Mr. Cheng He wants to see you."

Qin Lin also instructed, "He's here so quickly. Let him come over!"

Cheng He seemed even more anxious about the agency than he was.

Gao Yao Yao also ran towards the entrance of the hall and said to Cheng He, who was standing there, "Mr. Cheng, our boss wants you to go over."

"Thank you." Cheng He naturally saw Qin Lin and Chen Shengfei and Lu Jianxian, which shocked him.

This was because he knew about Chen Shengfei and Lu Jianxian. Who in Ming City did not know about Chen Shengfei?

Although he had some money in Ming City, someone like Chen Shengfei was out of his reach. Not to mention Chen Shengfei, even Lu Jianxian, who was one level lower, was out of his reach.

But what did he see now? Chen Shengfei and Lu Jianxian were actually sitting at the same table as President Qin and chatting happily.

This also reminded him of the time when Qinglin Ketchup had been hacked. The Internet publicity fraud department in Ming City had come out to stand on the stage. Could it be that Chen Shengfei had called?

To be able to greet President Qin for such a matter, their relationship must be extraordinary.

"President Qin, sorry to disturb you again." Cheng He arrived in front of Qin Lin and his tone had become very respectful.

Who would have thought that President Qin had such powerful connections?

Initially, he just wanted a ride. After all, Qinglin Ketchup was really popular and tasted alright, but who would have thought that this car might be a train?

There was no doubt that someone who could be recognized by someone like Chen Shengfei was definitely not an ordinary person.

Qin Lin also smiled at Chen Shengfei and explained, "Mr. Chen, President Lu, this is an agent I found for Qinglin Ketchup."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Lu," Cheng He said respectfully to the two of them.

Chen Shengfei nodded politely, but Lu Jianxian did not do anything. He did not need to care about a small ketchup agent at all. They were not on the same level.

Cheng He saw that Lu Jianxian did not care about him.

"I'll talk to the two of you first," Qin Lin said and stood up to invite Cheng He to another table. Then, he went straight to the point. "Mr. Cheng, as agreed beforehand, I'll give you a regional agent for the province. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later. In addition, my Qinglin Ketchup production is limited. Currently, the factory only has 4.2 million bottles of ketchup per month."

"Therefore, we can only give you three million bottles of production for the time being. It should only be enough for you to lay out one to two cities. Naturally, we will think of a way to resolve this problem immediately. As for the factory price, we will temporarily set it at 11 yuan."

"Alright, but I want priority as the general agent of the region." Cheng He agreed without hesitation.

With the popularity of Qinglin Ketchup, many people wanted to buy it. Actually, there was no need for much publicity at all. As long as the goods arrived, his secondary agents and the previous market would come running to him.

With a profit margin of four yuan, even if he only had three million bottles at the moment, that was 12 million a month. After deducting the cost and the cost of giving secondary concessions, he still had a lot of profit.

The key was that such daily products were sold in quantity. As long as Qinglin's company production increased and all nine cities in Min Province were opened, it should not be a problem to guarantee 15 million bottles a month. That would be 60 million a month. After deducting the cost and giving the secondary ranges, they could make a huge profit.

The point was that he wanted more than a provincial agent.

"Alright, I'll give you the priority as the general agent of the region. As for the contract, I'll get someone to sign it with you." Qin Lin did not reject Cheng He's request. The general agent of the region was not a province, but a region with several provinces. It was usually divided into eight regions.

After the discussion, Qin Lin also called Deng Guang and asked him to come over and discuss the details of the contract with Cheng He. He would sign it at the end.

…

Afternoon.

Chen Shengfei also said goodbye to Qin Lin. He had skipped work while talking to Lu Jianxian. He still had to make a decision when he returned.

Qin Lin sent Chen Shengfei to the parking lot. Chen Dabei followed behind with a security guard, each carrying a game-produced Quality 2 wild fish.

Qin Lin also handed a bottle of wine to Chen Shengfei. "Mr. Chen, this is your wine and two big items. This big item is the same as the previous one."

"Thank you, Boss Qin." Chen Shengfei held the wine with a face full of joy. He had drunk some from Ma Liewen. After all, this wine was the main purpose of this trip.

He also asked the driver to put the fish away. After getting into the car, he said to Lu Jianxian, "President Lu, do you want to bring a big fish back? It should taste better than what we had for lunch."

"Forget it, it's too troublesome." Lu Jianxian shook his head. He had already eaten the so-called big stuff. The taste was nothing much. If he wanted to eat fish, he could just go to the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. He didn't want to bring a fish back.

Naturally, he could not say it so bluntly to Chen Shengfei.

"Then you're really out of luck." Chen Shengfei was overjoyed.

"…" Lu Jianxian looked at Chen Shengfei in shock.

He had already left the villa and wasn't in front of Boss Qin anymore. Was he still pretending?

Qin Lin also returned to the villa and called Chen Li.

"Boss Qin, why did you call me?" Chen Li's hearty laughter sounded.

Qin Lin went straight to the point. "Chief Chen, I just want to ask a question. Does the county have a corporate guidance fund? My factory's production capacity can't keep up, and I need funds. I want to ask around."

"Wait a minute, let me ask!" Chen Li said anxiously. Then, there was a long silence on the other end of the line.

After an unknown period of time, Chen Li's voice sounded again. "Boss Qin, the county hasn't had such a special fund before, but we can set up one especially for your Qinglin Food Company. However, apart from the stipulated interest on the creditor's rights, there are also requirements: the factory with this special fund must be in Youcheng County's industrial area and must have priority in hiring workers in Youcheng County…"

Chapter 108

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The trademark rights that Qin Lin had applied for had finally been approved. This made him inexplicably relieved. He no longer had to worry about anyone suing him with this trademark.

The incident with the roujiamo and the pepper soup was not over yet. There was news of the green pepper this morning.

Once something started, the atmosphere would really be bad.

The appearance of the scammer provided a job opportunity for many old people who wanted to get something for nothing. Now, the trademark registration seems to be developing in this aspect.

In addition to the trademark matter, there was something else that made him happy. Chen Li informed him that in the past few days, the county had already passed an enterprise guidance fund specially set up by Qinglin Food Company.

In the warehouse in the suburbs, Qin Lin entered the game.

In his mind, the Level 3 seven-colored symbiotic triangular plum had grown again. This was the second batch. In addition to the batch that had grown three days ago, there were already two batches.

These were used to make triangular plum pots.

Qin Lin went to the courtyard where the triangular plums were stored. There were a total of 50 seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums with a quality of 2.5 meters, and two seven-colored symbiotic triangular plums with a quality of 3.5 meters.

Qin Lin spent some time moving these triangular plums from the game to the warehouse outside before calling the transport team's supervisor, Zhao Liyuan.

Soon, Zhao Liyuan arrived with the convoy. When he saw Qin Lin, he went up to him. "President Qin, is it these triangular plums?"

Zhao Liyuan's attitude was clearly respectful because President Qin was already his father. The transportation business of Qinglin Food Company had been outsourced to him.

...

If President Qin had any instructions, he would definitely do it well.

Everyone knew that Qinglin Ketchup had become popular and that the factory would expand in the future. There would definitely be a lot of transportation businesses.

"Yes, transport these triangular plums to the villa." Qin Lin nodded and instructed.

Most of the transportation in the factories was outsourced, and the Qinglin Food Factory was no exception. During the month of transplanting the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, Qin Lin had already felt that Zhao Liyuan was not bad. He did his job well and did not ask too much, inquire too much, or get curious.

He had made a good impression, so he contacted him quickly and gave the opportunity to him.

Zhao Liyuan immediately called out to his subordinates, "Get to work."

Those triangular plums were soon loaded into cars and transported to the villa.

After Yu Shui received Qin Lin's call, he rushed over with more than ten people.

These dozen or so people were all landscapers. After the successful cultivation of the triangular plum pot, they had recruited some landscapers one after another. The employees of the villa were increasing.

After that, the rafting, sea of flowers, bridal chamber, pasture, and aquarium were all created according to the plan. They had to recruit people in batches.

Apart from those who were maintaining the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, the rest of the landscapers had to follow Yu Shui to cultivate the triangular plum potted plant.

When the seven-colored triangular plum potted pot was cultivated on a large scale, Qinglin Villa would have its first tourist souvenir for sale.

In a scenic area, tourist souvenirs were indispensable. The bigger the scenic area, the more they had to have tourist souvenirs that represented their own characteristics. Even if they didn't, they had to create one themselves.

Many tourist souvenirs from scenic spots could be recognized if a tourist posted on their Moments.

"Get to work," Yu Shui instructed the landscapers. Then, he said to Qin Lin with a smile, "Boss, do you want to take a look at the flowerbed?"

"Let's go take a look!" How could Qin Lin not understand Yu Shui's thoughts? He had just been promoted because he wanted to seize the time to perform and let him see the other party's results.

As the boss, he naturally had to give this opportunity.

The triangular plum plantation flower bed was on the east side of the villa, near the forest. The flowerbed was now surrounded by wooden railings.

Yu Shui brought Qin Lin inside and arrived at an area. There were already many potted plants neatly placed there. The seedlings were all transplanted from the branches of the flowers.

Yu Shui also introduced excitedly, "Boss, we'll plant the seedlings over there in the future. We'll plant the seedlings in the surroundings and build a reservoir in the middle to create an irrigation system."

"Is there enough funds?" Qin Lin asked.

Yu Shui hurriedly nodded. "Yes, the lady boss has approved enough funds. The rest can also be bought to decorate the wooden railings."

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded and was not stingy with his praise. "Well done. Next, transplant those seedlings in and nurture the first batch of triangular plum pots as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Boss." Yu Shui smiled and nodded enthusiastically.

He had invited his boss over for an inspection because he wanted his boss's approval.

…

When Qin Lin returned to the hall, he saw Zhao Moqing paying attention to the situation online.

"The county's delivery orders have been sent out. No one is defaming us this time," Zhao Moqing said when he saw Qin Lin enter.

These days, Qinglin Ketchup has become popular again.

Qinglin Food Company gradually began to work double shifts. They had already completed the 200,000 bottles of Chen Li's live broadcast. The netizens who had ordered also received the products and tried them.

Everyone knew that Qinglin Ketchup was more delicious. After it was sold on a large scale, more and more people commented on it to increase their appetite.

Increasing one's appetite was an effect that ketchup originally had because there was citric acid in the tomato. It was just that the Qinglin Ketchup had the additional attribute of appetite +1, so the effect was stronger.

Those who had tasted it really found that their appetite had improved, especially the picky children who could do a lot more food.

For a time, Qinglin Ketchup became a boon for parents of picky children and patients with low appetites. It was well-liked by more and more people who bought it.

Unfortunately, the desire to buy online was like a tide. Qinglin Food Company's production capacity was really limited, so they could only wait for the county's corporate guidance fund to approve it.

With the popularity of the Internet, Zhao Moqing would also silently like it on her alternate account. When she encountered interesting comments, she would also silently participate in the discussion. However, others did not know that she was the lady boss of Qinglin Ketchup.

"Look at this video." Zhao Moqing handed the phone to Qin Lin.

He looked over, puzzled.

This seemed to be a video that had just been published by a somewhat famous expert. A hot topic would always attract all kinds of hype, even if the other party was an expert.

"I've been researching about Qinglin Ketchup these past few days. This product's process from its appearance to its popularity is unbelievable. Not to mention the taste of this ketchup, just the other party's hunger marketing method is definitely a classic case. The boss behind this has control over hunger marketing…"

Qin Lin was stunned to hear the expert's logical analysis in the video.

Damn his grasp of hunger marketing…

He used Zhao Moqing's private account to comment on the video: Teacher, maybe Qinglin Ketchup production is really just insufficient?

Because this video was newly released, not many people saw it. The expert teacher even replied to Qin Lin, "This is a very unprofessional view. If you have seen my class, you will change your current view. There is a purchase link for my class in the link below."

"…" Qin Lin shook his head helplessly and replied, "The expert teacher is still the best."

It was no wonder that as society developed, there were more and more experts and professors, but this identity was becoming less and less credible.

It wasn't that expert professors weren't capable. That was impossible. The high-tech construction of so many industries in the country was the result of the hard work of countless experts and professors.

However, true-strength expert professors don't come out and play to the public. They're immersed in the ocean of expertise and have higher aspirations.

However, there were some strange experts and professors on the Internet who were ruining this noble identity that originally represented honor.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such high-profile things as 'Poor people can't afford to go to school because the tuition is too low!' and 'Housing prices are high because they're connected internationally. At the moment, property prices are still too low.'

If the standard of such an expert professor was not to speak human language, Qin Lin could also become an expert.

It was just that the wedding gifts were not enough and the salary of the young people was too high. Who wouldn't know how to speak human language?

Chapter 109

When Zhao Moqing saw Qin Lin's comment, he couldn't help but tease, "Looks like this expert teacher knows the situation of Qinglin Food Company better than you."

One would always encounter all kinds of strange things in life. He could not let an expert teacher affect his mood.

If he had the time to fuss about this, he might as well solve the factory's production capacity problem quickly.

Qin Lin asked, "Moqing, have you registered the bank details of the employees? We're going to the bank in the afternoon. I'll bring them over to settle the payment."

"It's all registered." Zhao Moqing took out a notebook, entered a password, and logged in. She opened a data document.

The documents were filled with names. At the top were the names of Gao Yaoyao, Master Lin, Chen Dabei, Sister Hong, Deng Guang, Yu Shui, and the other employees.

Previously, there were few employees in the villa, so he had to transfer the salary himself.

Now that there were more people and the villa had recruited those landscapers, there were already 55 employees. The factory was also producing seven production lines. After hiring double shifts one after another, the number of employees had reached 95 and there would be more in the future.

In other words, he already had 150 employees. He was considered a big boss in Youcheng County.

Therefore, in the future, when he paid his employees, it would be impossible for him to transfer the insurance and funds one by one. He would have to get the bank to pay on his behalf.

They would first give these employees' information to the bank. After that, the employees would have to take out their own photocopies of their ID cards to confirm their payroll.

This way, he would open an account that specialized in paying wages and sign an agreement with the bank. In the future, if he transferred the total amount into this account every month, the bank would send it to the employee's salary card.

Looking at the neat data, it was obvious that Zhao Moqing had put in a lot of effort.

Qin Lin said, "You've worked hard."

Zhao Moqing snorted. "It's good that you know."

Qin Lin looked at the slightly arrogant Zhao Moqing and whispered in her ear, "So, I want to reward you by helping you scrub your back tonight?"

"We're in public…" Zhao Moqing immediately glared at Qin Lin and subconsciously hit his waist.

What did he mean, scrub her back?

He just wanted to shower with her.

In the afternoon.

Qin Lin received a call from Chen Li and drove to the factory.

Deng Guang was already waiting with a document.

After getting Deng Guang into the car, he asked as he started the car, "Is there any problem with the information?"

Deng Guang said, "Don't worry, President Qin. I've confirmed it several times. There won't be any mistakes."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded and drove to the Youcheng County branch.

The enterprise guidance fund that the county had specially set up for him, as well as the factory of this fund, had to be in Youcheng County. They had to prioritize hiring in Youcheng County… and a few other conditions.

He did not refuse.

Youcheng County's expressway, train station, logistics park… All kinds of transportation facilities were available. It was actually not a bad place to open a factory here.

Naturally, the special corporate guidance fund this time was different from the previous support fund application.

It took a few days for the county to go through the motions for a company-specific corporate guidance fund.

Now that the county process had run its course, they needed his factory details to dock with the bank. At this point, it would be quick. The money would be coming in soon.

When Qin Lin drove into the bank parking lot with Deng Guang, Chen Li was already waiting for him in the lobby with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask, "Chief Chen, do you think Qinglin Food Company can really achieve that kind of expectation?"

Chen Li smiled and said, "Even if it doesn't meet expectations, the results shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, the county meeting wouldn't have passed so easily."

The county was paying more and more attention to Boss Qin.

At first, they thought highly of Qinglin Villa only because the tourists brought by the villa could supplement the county's global tourism plan.

As it turned out, the development of Qinglin Villa was better than expected. There was already a need to limit the number of tourists. Moreover, the villa was right next to the county city. Its influence could be said to be greater than any other scenic spot in Youcheng County.

When the projects at Qinglin Villa were completed, the county had even decided to do their best to help Qinglin Villa advertise. As long as they could help Qinglin Villa receive more than a million visitors every year, the impact on Youcheng County would be huge.

However, the county did not expect that Qinglin Villa would create another brand of Qinglin Ketchup. The key was that the ketchup was even popular and tasted better than other brands.

In a situation like this, the county would naturally pay attention. They even investigated the related industries of ketchup and knew how big the market for it was.

Tasty had made 37.7 billion yuan in the country last year, seven times more than Lao Gan Ma. Most of it was by selling ketchup.

Among the top 10 brands, the worst could earn more than 4 billion yuan with ketchup.

Now, Qinglin Ketchup has entered the market in a very simple and crude manner. There was hope for him to take a big bite out of this market.

Therefore, the county had no choice but to take it seriously. If things went according to plan, Qinglin Food Company would definitely become a big business in Youcheng County.

The benefits to Youcheng County were also immense.

Naturally, this was what was expected. Anything could happen before it reached a certain point. After all, many companies that were originally bright had quickly collapsed because their operators were eager for quick success or made mistakes.

That was what the county was most worried about now. Fortunately, Boss Qin had left a good impression on the county and was very methodical. He was considered successful at a young age, but he was not as ostentatious as those young people. He wanted everyone to know about his achievements, and his life was not chaotic like some young people who made a little money.

It was not surprising that such a young man would succeed. That was why the county had decisively approved the money again.

Beside them, the receptionist in the business suit listened curiously to their conversation.

The President and Chief Chen had personally come down to wait for her. She was very curious about their identities.

From their words, it was not difficult for her to tell that these two were waiting for the boss of Qinglin Villa.

This made her a little curious. After Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Ketchup became popular, many people online were curious about what kind of person the boss behind it was.

However, the boss of Qinglin Villa was too low-key. Very few people knew about him.

As she was thinking, she saw Chief Chen welcome a young man who came in through the door.

"Boss Qin!" When Chen Li saw Qin Lin, he immediately went forward and introduced the middle-aged man who followed him. "This is President Lin, Lin Shiwei."

"I didn't expect Boss Qin to be so young." Lin Shiwei's face was filled with enthusiasm and flattery.

As the branch president of his small county, he was actually very miserable. The tasks given by the higher-ups were heavy, and the salary was also related to the business.

However, it was also very difficult to complete the business in a small county. In such a big place, there was a lot of farming, engineering, construction, handover, village, town, and merchants Bank.

For example, if Boss Qin could make Qinglin Ketchup bigger, he would definitely be the best customer. Even if the other party gave him his employee salary in the future, there would be hundreds of people after the county approved this sum of money, right?

That was still very high.

If the accounts of the villa and Qinglin Food Company were included, it would definitely be a client that all the branches in Youcheng County wanted to compete for.

Naturally, he had to seize this opportunity.

"Boss Qin, let's go to President Lin's office," Chen Li invited Qin Lin.

"Yes, let's chat while making tea." Lin Shiwei also invited him with a smile.

The receptionist beside him was already looking at Qin Lin in surprise.

Wasn't the boss of Qinglin Villa too young? No one would believe this was him.

After following Lin Shiwei and Chen Li upstairs, there was actually nothing much for Qin Lin to do. He just asked Deng Guang to give the factory information to Lin Shiwei and also give the employee information to the other party to handle the salary distribution.

Lin Shiwei couldn't wait for Qin Lin to do this and directly found a director to explain the matter. Qin Lin also asked Deng Guang to hand over the position to that director. Then, he was pulled by Chen Li and Lin Shiwei to make tea and chat while waiting.

As Chen Li made tea, he told Qin Lin something. "Boss Qin, there will be a team of tourist patrol officers going to your villa."

...

The relevant procedures were settled two hours later. All that was left was to wait for the county to approve the money.

Qin Lin left the bank and sent Deng Guang back to the factory. When he drove back to the villa, it was already evening. A notification appeared in the game in his mind. The batch of crops in the evening had ripened.

He directly controlled the game characters to pick the ripe crops and put them in the storage room. The ripe crops in the evening were all sent to the villa with the ripe crops the next morning.

After picking the ripe crops, Qin Lin controlled the game character to plant new seeds.

He was only halfway through planting when another prompt suddenly appeared in his mind:

[Game character level increased!]

Chapter 110

Qin Lin's face lit up. He had finally leveled up again.

He immediately looked at the changes after the upgrade.

After leveling up, he could open another six levels and level up another Level 3 land.

In addition, the paddy field could also be upgraded to Level 2.

During this period of time, not only did he sell the rice and some Quality 1 land crops in the game, but also the ores dug in the mine. There was no shortage of game gold coins in the game.

Qin Lin immediately leveled up the Level 3 and Level 2 paddy fields before controlling his game character to head to the seed shop.

Every time the land was upgraded, the seed shop would open new crop seeds. He had already known about Level 3 seeds before. This time, he wanted to check on Level 2 paddy fields. Perhaps, special seeds like the seedless watermelon seeds would be refreshed again.

After talking to the NPC, he clicked on the seed list.

The Level 2 paddy field did indeed add some seeds that could be bought. There were water pines, poplar trees, joy trees… and other saplings that could be planted in the paddy field. Unfortunately, he did not find any special seeds with a star. However, as he scrolled down, Qin Lin found something unexpected.

Conch eggs, loach eggs, frog seedlings, and buttercup seedlings.

These things were marked as supporting crops in the paddy fields. This meant that when the paddy fields planted rice, they could support these things.

Seeing this, Qin Lin was filled with memories.

He had grown up in the countryside as a child. Even before the sixth grade, he had been in primary school in the village.

At that time, once it was time to plant rice, he would follow behind his father with a small basket. When he flipped the field, he would always catch a lot of conch, loach, and eel.

This season was also the happiest of his childhood. Not only could he eat more, but he could also play in the mud without fear of being beaten.

Now that the villagers had moved to the county city, it seemed that no one was farming anymore.

The past could not be recalled.

The conchs that were commercially cultivated no longer had the same taste as before.

Qin Lin immediately bought a set of conch eggs.

The conchs his father used to make were his favorite.

[Conch Egg: Quality 1]

[This is a special cultivated crop that can be matched to aquaculture. Mature period: one day.]

Qin Lin controlled his game character to return to the ranch. When he arrived at the Level 2 paddy field, he realized that there was also a notification on whether the Level 2 paddy field that had been planted with rice had been cultivated.

[Do you want to farm conchs?]

Qin Lin directly chose to farm, and a notification immediately appeared in the Level 2 paddy field.

Then, he controlled the game characters to develop the six plots of Level 1 land that could be opened.

These six plots of crops would continue to be sold in the game.

He did not want to increase the Quality 1 crop of the game.

After the expansion of the villa project was completed, he planned to gradually reduce it or use it for activities. He would provide a batch regularly and only tourists who had consumed a certain amount could buy it.

Even a Quality 1 item from his game was worthwhile.

He controlled the game character to go to the six plots of land to weed, smash the stones, and chop the wooden stakes on the ground. After that, he changed into the hoe and developed the six plots of land.

The first five plots had been normal. As he developed the sixth, another prompt appeared in his mind:

[Congratulations on obtaining the fruit of the Tree of Strength!]

"?" Qin Lin looked at the red melon-like fruit in the game character's hand in surprise.

As everyone knew, Ranches Story was a fantasy farming game in an urban town. Not only were there mines more than 200 floors underground, there were goddesses, kappas, and flying stones that filled the map with a whoosh.

And this fruit of the Tree of Strength was definitely something with a hint of fantasy.

There were a total of 15 of these in Ranches Story. Its function was to increase one's physique after using it.

At first, the game characters would get tired after working for a while. If they continued, they would suffer from heatstroke and lie on the ground with a purple face. Then, they would have to rest or eat food to replenish their strength.

However, once they ate the fruit of the Tree of Strength, they could work longer.

If they ate 15 pills in a row, they would only take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat and could work for half a month without eating or drinking.

Of the 15 fruits of the Tree of Strength, three could be randomly dug out from the ranch.

Qin Lin did not expect to find one of the fruits of the Tree of Strength in the six plots of land that he had developed after this upgrade.

He found a deserted place as quickly as possible and entered the game to replace his game character. He was also holding the red sweet potato-like fruit in his hand.

He focused and saw the message.

[Fruit of the Tree of Strength: Mystery!]

[Rumor has it that it's a fruit from a strange tree on Mount Notre Dame. This tree was a seed left behind by the goddess and carefully taken care of by the dwarves. For some reason, the tree disappeared and the fruit from the tree was scattered in the area near Mount Notre Dame. If anyone can obtain the fruit, eating it can increase their physical fitness.]

Qin Lin saw the note on the fruit of the Tree of Strength. There didn't seem to be such a background in the game. However, he was really eager to eat this thing that could increase his physical fitness.

The taste of the fruit of the Tree of Strength was nothing special, just a little sweet. However, when the fruit of the Tree of Strength entered his stomach, a strange warmth appeared in his body.

This warm current was different from when he had eaten Quality 2 products previously. It seemed that there was really some energy surging and modifying his body. It made him feel comfortable and he almost hummed.

That feeling was even more comfortable than when he and Zhao Moqing were exercising.

The feeling didn't last long. Soon it was over.

Qin Lin tried to stretch his back. After the comfortable feeling ended, it seemed to be boring again.

His body felt nothing special.

However, this thing would definitely have an effect. Besides, if he wanted to test if his physical fitness had increased, he would know after doing a push-up.

Qin Lin immediately bent down and did push-ups in the game.

Standard push-ups were actually quite difficult. When he was in college PE, he could only do 40 standard push-ups in a row. This was a number that most ordinary people could achieve.

But this time, one after the other, he quickly achieved 40. And he felt relaxed.

Qin Lin counted silently. It took him 150 consecutive attempts before he finally felt exhausted.

This was nearly four times the number during his university days.

150 push-ups in one go seemed to be the standard for athletes, but athletes were trained over a long period of time. He had only used one of the fruits of the game.

He had to admit, the system was impressive.

Qin Lin exited the game and returned to the hall. Just as he entered the bar, he saw Zhao Moqing busy on a laptop. He walked into the bar and saw that she was organizing the settlement data.

Tomorrow was the day to settle accounts with suppliers like Lin Feng and Wang Wei.

As the sales center opened, after Qin Lin poached two product quality monitors from RT-Mart, more and more suppliers' products came in. The final settlement cycle was set to be a week. After all, they were all small suppliers. If the cycle was too long, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

"You've worked hard." Qin Lin went behind Zhao Moqing and massaged her shoulders.

"It's good that you know," Zhao Moqing said proudly.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "That's why I should help you scrub your back tonight."

"Hmph!" Zhao Moqing snorted when she heard this topic again.

She knew this guy too well. Once he was so persistent, he would definitely not give up until he achieved his goal. He could pester her for a month for a shameful position.

Qin Lin smiled when he saw this. He knew his girlfriend well. A light snort indicated that she had tacitly agreed to this matter. She was just shy and embarrassed.

When they returned home at night, Qin Lin eagerly picked up Zhao Moqing and was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Moqing seemed to have become much lighter.

Naturally, she couldn't be a lot lighter all at once. That meant he was stronger.

The increase in physical fitness from the fruit of the Tree of Strength should be comprehensive, not just physical strength.

Then in some ways…

Qin Lin quickened his pace and entered the room, eager to experiment.

Chapter 111

The next morning, Qin Lin got out of bed happily with a look of surprise on his face.

The fruit of the Tree of Strength increased his physical fitness.

Seeing that Zhao Moqing had woken up, he leaned over and asked, "Moqing, how was my performance last night?"

"Qin Lin, it's so early in the morning!" Zhao Moqing snorted softly. With a flushed face, she extended her finger to Qin Lin's waist.

Qin Lin didn't feel any pain because Zhao Moqing didn't use much strength. This was just a form of fun.

"Hmph!" Zhao Moqing snorted again and got up to enter the bathroom.

Qin Lin smiled and followed her in.

…

Qin Lin came out of his room and smelled a mellow fragrance. His mother was cooking porridge in the kitchen with Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

This thing had a high nutritional value and had a vitamin VPP anti-aging attribute. Not only did Lin Fen lose her white hair from eating it for a long time, but Zhao Moqing also looked radiant.

Smelling this mellow fragrance, Wang Cai strolled through the kitchen door. It was probably the dog that liked rice the most now. It was the richest dog in the world.

It ate whatever 90% of the world's rich couldn't.

"The porridge is ready," Lin Fen said with a smile when the couple came out.

...

After eating the porridge, Qin Lin went to the warehouse to move the crops that were to be delivered today from the game and sent them to the villa.

Moreover, he had brought out some Quality 2 seedless watermelons from the game today. This was because according to the time, it was time to plant these two seeds in the greenhouse.

This way, the flowering period of the seedless watermelon and the ordinary watermelon would match and there would be a chance to pollinate it.

This was also a key step in cultivating this seedless watermelon seed.

When Qin Lin arrived at the villa, he saw Lin Feng, Wang Wei, and the other suppliers.

Usually, the products of these suppliers were delivered by employees. As today was the settlement cycle, they all came by themselves.

During the settlement, both parties had to take out a bill that had been calculated. After the bill was settled, both parties would sign it. The villa had a special settlement account that would pay for Lin Feng and the others.

After Zhao Moqing calculated the funds to be settled last night, he had already transferred the money.

When Lin Feng, Wang Wei, and the other suppliers saw Qin Lin arrive, they all greeted him with smiles.

"President Qin, business is booming!"

"President Qin, your villa is getting more and more popular."

"President Qin, your villa will be expanded soon. At that time, your business will rise to another level."

"…"

These people were more or less complimentary.

Qinglin Villa was already a big channel for them now. They had no choice but to flatter him. There were many people from the same industry watching them.

The villa was being expanded, one day at a time. When this scale of expansion was completed, the demand would be even higher. It was obvious that those in the same industry would come to compete.

"President Lin, President Wang, everyone, please take a seat first. Moqing will come to the villa to settle the bill with everyone soon." Qin Lin also smiled and greeted these people. After chatting with them for a while, Zhao Moqing arrived. When these people were settling the bill with Zhao Moqing, he also found Chen Dabei and entered the courtyard at the back.

Now that the triangular plum pot had been successfully cultivated, he had great expectations for the seeds of the Xiangshui Tribute Rice and the watermelon seeds of Quality 2.

Unfortunately, before they reached the artificial paddy field, there was still no sign of any seeds sprouting. They might have failed again.

He now suspected that the chances of the adaptability mutation were close to zero.

Looking to the side, the Quality 2 watermelon seeds were already forming green watermelons the size of eggs. He would soon know the quality of the watermelons.

Chen Dabei had already walked into the shed and started working with a small hoe.

He now knew that the watermelon planted by his boss was not simple. It had already ended up in the greenhouse in the middle of winter.

Qin Lin also walked into the greenhouse and took out the Quality 2 watermelon seed that he had brought out from the game. He planted the seeds at the spot where Chen Dabei had dug.

After that, he instructed Chen Dabei to water the plants.

…

The day passed quickly.

In the evening, another batch of crops ripened. Moreover, this time, there were also Level 2 conchs.

After Qin Lin collected all the mature crops and conchs, he immediately found a deserted place and entered the game.

Because he was craving a conch.

After entering the game, Qin Lin went straight to the storage room and saw the harvested conch in a pool.

[Conch: Quality 1 (15 catties)]

[This is a delicious ingredient that Southerners like very much. It's rich in nutrition. Protein +1, texture +1, delicious +1, strength +1!]

[Conch: Quality 2 (2 catties)]

[This is a delicious ingredient that Southerners like very much. It's rich in nutrition. Protein +2, texture +2, delicacy +2, strength +2!]

These conchs were not small. The ones with a quality of 1 were already 3 centimeters, and the ones with a quality of 2 were more than 5 centimeters. There were very few such large conches in this season, and there were only about 20 of them per catty.

When he was young, he followed his father to farm. Every time he caught a conch in the field, there would always be one or two especially big ones. He liked to eat the biggest one the most.

The harvest of this batch of conchs was not much. Quality 1 and 2 only added up to 17 catties. However, they were only suitable for aquaculture and he did not intend to move them to the villa to sell. He did not insist on the number of conchs.

The conch needed to spit out some water and mud for some time before it could be eaten.

Therefore, Qin Lin exited the game. After an hour, he entered the game with two bags and took out all the conchs.

According to the game time ratio, these conchs had basically finished spitting mud.

When he entered the kitchen, Master Lin and the other chefs were already cooking for the employees. Tourists usually ate between five and eight. The waiters in the hall and barbecue area would finish their meals before five and arrive at the station. The other employees took turns eating in batches.

"Boss!" A helper saw Qin Lin enter and greeted him respectfully.

Master Lin smiled and asked, "Boss, are you here to cause trouble again?"

"No, I'm not cooking today. I encountered a person selling conches caught in an old farm. I bought it to add more food for everyone." Qin Lin smiled and found a basin to pour out the bag of Quality 1 conch.

Master Lin looked at the conchs in surprise. "They're so big. There are such big conches in this season?"

The other three kitchen chefs came up and were also surprised. Conch was one of the Southerners' favorite side dishes.

Qin Lin instructed, "Find a few pliers and deal with the conch's tail."

Master Lin walked to the side and took a few pliers. He summoned a chef and started processing the conch.

Qin Lin also took a pair of pliers and cut off the two catties of the conch tail. Then, he asked Master Lin to deal with the two catties of conch alone.

Master Lin was naturally attentive to Qin Lin's instructions. He could tell that these conchs were bigger. There were only about 20 of them per catty. Clearly, the boss kept them for himself.

Making the conch required a strong fire to cook the pot. As soon as Master Lin set the pot, the flames would rise high and some peppers would be placed into the pot. When it was 80% ripe, it would be seasoned with salt, cooking wine, and so on. If it continued to be stewed for a while, a fragrance would quickly drift.

When it was ready, the conchs were already shiny.

Master Lin habitually picked up his chopsticks and picked up a conch to taste. With a whoosh, the conch meat was sucked out.

This was a unique skill of the Southerners. Very few Southerners could not suck the conch out. This was a unique skill that the Northerners could not learn.

After sucking a mouthful of conch into his mouth, Master Lin's eyes lit up.

The smell …

And that kind of texture was really perfect.

Master Lin hurriedly picked up another one from the pot and stirred it. Then, his face was filled with intoxication. He had never eaten such a delicious conch.

At this moment, a sip of wine would be perfect.

After swallowing one, Master Lin couldn't help but pick up another and suck it into his mouth.

After a few conchs in a row, he remembered that these were kept by his boss and hurriedly resisted the urge to take another.

However, this conch was really tempting. It made him feel like he had never eaten a conch before.

When he had time, he would let his son go to the countryside to take a look. He should be able to catch a lot of them.

Chapter 112

As the sun gradually set in the west mountains, the staff canteen specially built by the villa also became lively.

The food at the villa was very good. Qin Lin was not stingy in this aspect. In the past, when there were few employees, the dishes would be served directly and everyone would eat together.

Now that there were more employees, it had become a buffet style. The dishes were also for the employees to choose from.

Today, there was also a pot of conch among the employees' dishes.

"These conches are so big," Gao Yaoyao said in surprise.

Other waiters crowded around. Southerners, both men and women, had a soft spot for conchs.

As the boss, even without saying anything, Master Lin would prepare a table and a separate dish for him, Zhao Moqing, and Lin Fen.

Lin Fen sat down and looked at the bowl of conchs on the table in surprise. "There are conchs today. I haven't seen such big conchs in a long time."

Zhao Moqing also picked one up and put it into his mouth. As she chewed the conch meat, she couldn't help but praise, "The texture and taste of this conch is really good."

"Yes!" Lin Fen agreed.

As a native farmer, she knew very well that it would take a long time for such a large conch to grow. Only a few would appear in the old paddy fields she used to plant with her husband every year.

Nowadays, the cultivated conches paid attention to benefits and had a fast cycle. They wouldn't be so big. Some of the bigger ones were also catalyzed, and their texture and strength were far inferior.

This bowl of conch was clearly more delicious than the ones found in the old paddy fields.

Qin Lin was also enjoying himself. Not only were they memories of his childhood, but they were also delicacies.

Now this was a real classic.

Not only Qin Lin and the other two, but Gao Yaoyao and the others were also enjoying the conchs. They also discovered the difference in these conchs. Even if it was only Quality 1, it was still more delicious than the conchs they had eaten before.

After the meal, Qin Lin controlled his game character to go to the Ore Town Seed Shop again. This time, he directly bought the Yellow Millet Seed and returned to the ranch. He placed the Yellow Millet Seed in the Level 2 paddy field to be cultivated.

In addition to the conch, the eel was also one of the delicacies of the fields. It was claimed to be the poetry of the Southerners in summer. There was also a saying that the eel was the key to nourishment.

If a Quality 2 conch or Quality 2 eel appeared in the game one day, he would decisively take it out to nurture it. At that time, it would definitely sweep across the entire south.

However, this eel breeding would take much longer than the conch.

The next day.

Qin Lin woke up early again and picked the ripe crops in the game. Then, he planted new crops before heading to the warehouse to transport the crops out of the game and send them to the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, there was movement in the game in his mind. He asked Chen Dabei to bring people to move the goods. He sat down at the bar in the hall and focused on the game in his mind.

On the game screen, Qin Lin saw another familiar little man. It was the dwarf, Arnie.

[Hi! We meet again. Can I ask you a favor? Although my seven friends have moved to the outskirts of Ore Town, they haven't been able to blend in well with the town. Can you buy some flour food for them?]

This was another plot quest.

Qin Lin was naturally very enthusiastic about the dwarf Arnie's mission.

The fish that the other party gave him last time was worth 650,000 yuan.

Let's get another expensive ornamental fish this time.

Although he had caught some ornamental fish in his aquarium, he lacked one that was impressive.

The God of Fortune's mission had to be completed.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to go to the grocery store in Ore Town and bought seven barrels of flour. Then, he returned to the ranch to take some crops and put them in his backpack before heading to the small wooden hut where the seven dwarfs lived.

As in the old version of the game, the seven dwarfs were dressed in different colors and moving around the house in boredom. Qin Lin controlled the game characters and gave a bucket of flour and some crops to the seven dwarfs respectively. Then he got the hint to complete the instructions given by Arnie the dwarf.

He immediately controlled his game character to head to the ranch and meet the dwarf, Arnie, again.

[Thank you so much. I hope you can take care of my friends. They might be willing to help you work in the future. Now as a thank you, I'll give you this big-tailed squirrel as a gift!]

"?" Qin Lin was stunned for a moment as he watched the dwarf Arnie leave.

What the hell?

He wasn't delivering ornamental fish?

[Congratulations on obtaining a large-tailed squirrel. It has been bound!]

[Special hint: You can go to a pet merchant to buy pet supplies. As you spend, the pet merchant might also have a new pet product targeted at sex.]

In the game in his mind, Qin Lin saw a cute cartoon squirrel wearing a small shirt and a small backpack attached to its chest appear where the dwarf Arnie had been. It immediately ran around the game character, and a moment later, it scuttled onto the game character's shoulder.

Ranches Story had a pet setting. The oldest version seemed to consist only of dogs and horses. In Ranches Story: Reunion Ore Town, another NPC pet merchant, Parban, would sell pets like penguins, cats, and capybara.

The squirrel should have been added in the new version now. After all, the old version did not have an NPC like Arnie the Dwarf.

Qin Lin remembered that interacting with pets in the old version could increase the joy of pets, so he immediately controlled his game character to pet the little squirrel.

Sure enough, a red heart logo also appeared on the squirrel's head, indicating its pleasure. Even the cartoon head revealed an obedient and cute expression.

Fish could be brought out of the game.

What about this squirrel?

With that in mind, he went to the toilet, found an empty stall, locked it, and entered the game.

As soon as he entered the game to replace his game character, he felt something move on his shoulder, and his face felt like it had been swept by fur.

Qin Lin grabbed the squirrel on his shoulder. The little squirrel looked at him with its innocent eyes. It wasn't afraid at all. It wasn't afraid that he would do anything to hurt it.

This was clearly a sign of absolute trust. It must be the effect of the system binding.

The squirrel in front of him was no longer a cartoon in the game. It was a real furry little thing with a very fluffy tail on its back. Moreover, it was still wearing small clothes made of some cloth. The small backpack on its chest should be able to fit a few small pine nuts.

Then, Qin Lin also saw the note that appeared on the little squirrel:

[Big-Tailed Squirrel: Pet (can be named)]

[It looks like an ordinary little squirrel, but it has a big fluffy red tail. It's very intelligent and very smart, but because it lives such a delicate life and eats so much, Arnie the dwarf has been having a headache. He's been planning to give it away, but he hasn't been able to find a sacrifice!]

"?" Qin Lin was stunned when he saw the notice.

A sacrifice?

Him?

Chapter 113

Qin Lin was determined not to admit that he had become a sacrifice of Arnie the Dwarf. He only admitted that the squirrel was a gift from Arnie the Dwarf.

Looking at the little guy's small blue backpack and even its fluffy and neat fur, it was really quite exquisite.

Qin Lin fiddled with the little guy's tail. "Look at your big red tail. I'll call you Red Hair!"

As if it understood Qin Lin's words, the little squirrel squeaked at him.

"You can still understand?" Qin Lin was surprised and called out again, "Red Hair?"

"Squeak!" the little squirrel squeaked again.

This was amazing.

While Qin Lin was surprised, he exited the game with a thought and appeared in the toilet cubicle with the little squirrel Red Hair in his hand.

Qin Lin brought Red Hair out of the toilet and headed to the hall. Red Hair stayed quietly in his hand and looked curiously at the tourists around him.

After entering the hall, Gao Yaoyao saw the red fur in his hand and ran over in surprise. "Boss, this squirrel is so cute. It's even wearing clothes!"

"It's called Red Hair." Qin Lin entered the bar and placed Red Hair on the long bar table.

The squirrel looked around and started moving around the bar, curiously observing what was on the surface.

Gao Yaoyao leaned against the bar and stared curiously.

...

The cashier girl at the side was also attracted by it. Girls loved such furry and cute little things, especially when they were wearing clothes and had small bags attached to them.

But Red Hair was minding its own business, ignoring the two girls' bright stares. Suddenly, it ran in front of the penlight as if it'd made a discovery.

It scrambled out and snatched a small hairbrush in the pen holder before dropping it on the table.

The cashier panicked. It was hers. She instinctively reached for it.

Red Hair seemed anxious, too. It squeaked at the cashier and wagged its tail at her.

"Boss, it…" The cashier looked at her boss in confusion.

Gao Yaoyao suddenly said, "Xiao Yun, did it ask you to comb its tail?"

"Y-yes?" the cashier said uncertainly. Maybe the little one was too cute. She tried to brush the comb against Red Hair's tail.

To the surprise of the two girls, Red Hair cooperatively lifted its tail, its beady eyes narrowing in enjoyment.

When Qin Lin saw this scene, he knew better what the note meant by 'exquisite life'.

This was f*cking more enjoyable than he was.

"Boss, has it become a spirit?" Gao Yaoyao was in disbelief.

However, there were too many animals that had become intelligent on Douyin these days. They were definitely surprised, but they wouldn't make too much of a fuss.

"Qin Lin, where did this little squirrel come from?" Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen, who was holding Wang Cai's leash, walked in and looked at Red Hair in surprise.

"Previously, I saw that this little fellow was a little special. I met it again today and fed it some things, so it followed me. I bought these clothes at the pet shop, it's originally for miniature dogs. It took me a long time to choose a suitable one for it. Isn't it beautiful?" Qin Lin knew that someone would definitely ask this question. He had already thought of an excuse in the game, so he immediately made it up.

"Yes, the clothes suit it very well. Do you want to adopt it in the future?" Zhao Moqing did not doubt Qin Lin's words, or rather, she believed Qin Lin's words unconditionally and would not think too much about it.

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "I even named it Red Hair."

When Zhao Moqing heard this, he teased, "What names do you have? It's either Wang Cai or Red Hair?"

"…" Qin Lin was speechless.

He had given it that name very seriously, all right?

Don't Wang Cai and Red Hair have good names?

"Woof!" Wang Cai seemed to have heard Zhao Moqing call its name. It stood up and placed its legs on the bar counter.

The dog's sudden appearance clearly shocked Red Hair, causing him to jump onto Qin Lin's hand. Its movements were very agile.

When Qin Lin saw this, he rubbed Red Hair's head to reassure it.

"Woof!" Wang Cai cried out again when it saw this scene. It also stretched its head towards Qin Lin and stared at him, its meaning very obvious.

Zhao Moqing couldn't help but tease, "Is Wang Cai jealous of a squirrel?"

"Woof, woof." Wang Cai called out to Qin Lin again, as if urging him.

Qin Lin was helpless and could only reach out to rub Wang Cai's head.

Only then was the dog satisfied. It grinned happily and stared curiously at the red fur in Qin Lin's hand.

The little squirrel seemed to have Qin Lin to rely on as it stared at Wang Cai.

At this moment.

Chen Dabei walked in from the entrance of the hall with four people in police uniform. The four police officers even had sticks and walkie-talkies on their waists.

The four of them immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Qin Lin also looked at the four of them. When he saw the tourist police logo on their arms, he understood.

Chen Li had told him about the tourist patrol earlier.

With the rapid development of the economy and society and the great improvement of the people's standard of living, while tourism contributed to the economy, tourism safety management also faced new challenges and new requirements. It was no longer enough to rely on the security of the scenic area.

On the Internet, there was also news of many tourists throwing a tantrum. First, there were aunties who pushed down the trash can in a scenic area without any restraint. There were aunties who pushed the trash can to the scenic area's notice board one after another. Then, there were aunties who wanted to bring their granddaughters to break into the safety line to take photos with the young tiger cubs. There were also aunties who brought their grandsons to a scenic area to forcefully take away the scenic area's stones…

It was common for these scenic spots to be unreasonable. Most importantly, these tourists were fearless when they threw a tantrum. The security guards of the scenic spots did not have the right to enforce the law, so they were not afraid at all. They even looked like they would call the police if anyone dared to touch them.

Therefore, the scenic patrol officers were born because of some tourists who lacked quality. In addition to being in charge of the security of the scenic spots and scenic spots, they were also in charge of promoting tourism safety and guiding the tourists in their vehicles.

Naturally, the most important thing was law enforcement.

Some of the people who caused a disturbance in the law and order would immediately be given a pair of silver handcuffs on the spot. The more serious ones could basically be given a free 3-15-day tour of jail.

These four patrol officers were very young and heroic.

Chen Dabei brought the four of them to Qin Lin's side. "Boss, these police officers said that they are patrol officers from the county."

A young patrol officer at the front also walked out. "Boss Qin, I'm the captain of the patrol team set up by the county, Hong Linhao. We still need to cooperate with each other in the future."

Qin Lin shook hands with the other party and said with a smile, "Captain Hong, I'll have to trouble you with the security of the scenic area in the future."

There was no affiliation between the two parties, but there were many areas that were closely related to each other. Sometimes, the tourist police had to cooperate with the scenic area, and sometimes, the scenic area had to cooperate with the tourist police to promote the rule of law.

"Captain Hong, let me show you around the mountain villa." Qin Lin knew that at the current level of his mountain villa, he was not qualified to set up a tourist police station. Only at least a Grade 4A scenic area was qualified to set up a police station. Only at Grade 5A would they set up a police station to deal with the situation.

Now there was a team of tourist patrolmen in the county. This was the disguised support and platform. Naturally, he had to take it seriously enough.

Chapter 114

When Qin Lin led Captain Hong and the others out of the hall, he instructed Chen Dabei to bring a few security guards with him.

In the future, security guards would have to cooperate with Captain Hong and the others.

After all, Captain Hong and the others were only four people. It was impossible for them to really be in charge of everything. Most of the time, they were still in charge of the final law enforcement and legal propaganda. Sometimes, security guards had to take on supporting duties.

Red Hair climbed onto Qin Lin's shoulder and followed him out of the hall.

This scene made Captain Hong and the other three raise their eyebrows. Before they came, they had all been asked for detailed information about the villa, so they naturally knew that squirrels were a specialty of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea.

Boss Qin kept some squirrels in the villa. They could interact with tourists and even stand on their shoulders to take photos with them.

Many people on the Internet were curious about how Qinglin Villa had raised squirrels to be so obedient.

Now, look at the one on Boss Qin's shoulder. It was really cute.

Naturally, no one would know that it was actually the ecological harmony effect of the three Quality 3 Triangular Plum Blossoms. Those squirrels had come to take up jobs and freeload.

"Woof!" Wang Cai seemed to have sensed the threat of the little squirrel and followed it, circling around Qin Lin's feet.

The Triangular Plum Blossom Sea was the most special feature of Qinglin Villa, so Qin Lin naturally had to show Captain Hong and the others around.

There were many tourists in the Sea of Flowers. Due to the effect of the game, the tourists would always recommend this place to the people around them. The videos taken had a camera effect and also attracted more and more photography enthusiasts. The videos of the sea of flowers in Qinglin Villa on the Internet were always popular.

Therefore, there was always an endless stream of tourists. It even attracted many tourists from the very north. This was because the ID registration information of the villa showed some beginning of 21, 22, and 23.

After passing through the periphery, Captain Hong and the others were also attracted by the game product, the triangular plum.

Before they came, they had also watched some of the videos of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea in Qinglin Villa. However, when they arrived at the scene, they realized that the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea was much more beautiful and attractive than in the videos.

Captain Hong couldn't help but praise, "This sea of flowers is really beautiful. Boss Qin is really amazing to be able to make this place so popular."

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "It's all thanks to the county's support. We still need Captain Hong to take care of us in the future. If you were here last time, that unreasonable woman wouldn't have had the chance to defame us online."

As long as it wasn't a love rival, it never hurt to flatter the other party appropriately.

"We'll try to avoid this happening in the future." Captain Hong also knew about the incident at Qinglin Villa, because the villa did not choose to settle. After so long, the court had entered the trial process. That woman would have to be jailed for some time.

Captain Hong also followed Qin Lin to admire the triangular plum blossoms.

The most popular trees in the Sea of Flowers were naturally the three more than three-meter-tall ones in the central area. Captain Hong had made plans before coming here. This would be one of the duty points.

There were many fans and experts on the Internet who said that these three triangular plums were old collectible-grade plants. Due to the preciousness of the seven-color and the current reputation of Qinglin Villa, there would be people who would buy them even if they cost two million yuan each.

Although the three triangular plums were surrounded by wooden railings, there were special viewing and photo-taking platforms around them, allowing tourists to view and take photos under the trees.

Naturally, when the tourists arrived and saw the warning sign that said, "No destruction, destruction requires compensation", they did not dare to destroy it casually. They knew that they could not afford to pay.

In addition to the three triangular plums, the jumping squirrels on the trees naturally added a lot of characteristics.

Many tourists now knew that if they stood under that special platform to take photos and deliberately placed one or two pine nuts on their shoulders, they might be able to attract squirrels to jump onto their shoulders to take photos.

Besides, quite a few tourists had succeeded.

Captain Hong stopped there with his people. He watched as many tourists who were taking photos tried to lure the squirrels down with pine nuts. He also watched as the little squirrels collected the pine nuts that the tourists fed.

"Squeak squeak!" Red Hair stood on Qin Lin's shoulder and stretched its head out. It looked curiously at the squirrels on the three triangular plum trees and seemed to be eager to try.

Finally, Red Hair scurried out and onto a Quality 3 triangular plum tree.

The squirrels on the triangular plum tree froze at its entrance and stared at it warily. Dressed in blue with a bag attached to the front, it was like a wealthy child being surrounded in the slums.

Red Hair, however, was staring at a pine nut held by one of the squirrels. Without a word, he scuttled forward.

The squirrel seemed to realize it and sprang up on the branch of the triangular plum tree, but it was obviously not as fast as Red Hair. It was quickly crushed and seemed to be no match for him. In the end, it could only drop the pine nut in its hand on the branch and escape to the side.

Satisfied, Red Hair grabbed the pine nut and put it in its mouth to chew. Then it squeaked as if it was satisfied with the taste.

Qin Lin naturally saw this scene and could not help but look stunned.

Captain Hong smiled and said, "Boss Qin, the squirrels you trained are very interesting."

"They're alright," Qin Lin hurriedly replied.

He really hadn't trained these little guys, but if he said he hadn't, that the little squirrel had come running on its own, he wouldn't believe him, would he?

The appearance of Red Hair, a squirrel with clothes and a bag attached to its chest, naturally attracted some tourists under the tree. They took out their phones and took photos of Red Hair.

This little squirrel was particularly different. It was too cute.

A beautiful woman in a white one-piece dress with a slightly large front section was taking photos with her phone. She took out a pine nut and waved it at Red Hair before placing it on the wooden railing.

Red Hair saw what was happening.

Seeing that the squirrels on the two triangular plums beside it had gone to grab the pine nuts placed by the tourists on the wooden fence, it scurried down and grabbed the pine nuts.

The squirrels on this triangular plum tree seemed to know that this newcomer was very powerful, and did not dare to snatch it.

Red Hair didn't put the pine nut into its mouth this time. Instead, it put the pine nut into the small bag in front of it and stared at the other pine nuts in the beauty's hand.

The beauty was surprised and placed another pine nut on the wooden railing.

Red Hair picked it up and put it back into its small bag, still looking at the beauty.

"Hui Hui, it's so smart." A girl beside her said to the beauty in surprise, "It knows that you still have it. Moreover, it actually knows how to put things in a bag."

The beauty nodded in surprise and placed another pine nut on the wooden railing. Red Hair did not refuse and grabbed it and placed it in its bag.

Two squirrels sprang down from the trellis and scurried to either side of the wooden fence. They looked curiously at Red Hair, as if they had discovered a new continent.

The beauty called Hui Hui adored this cute little squirrel to death. She looked at the last pine nut in her hand and planned to tease this little squirrel.

She waved the pine nut at Red Hair and deliberately brought it to her mouth to take a bite.

Red Hair seemed to see that the other party was playing with it and seemed to express dissatisfaction.

Hui Hui seemed to get the pleasure of teasing it successfully before she placed the half-eaten pine nut in her hand on the wooden rail again.

She had thought that if the little squirrel took the pine nuts, she would have indirectly kissed the little guy.

However, when Red Hair saw the half pine nut, it took two steps back as if it despised it. It kicked the half pine nut to the ground with its hind leg.

"Pfft!" The woman beside him couldn't help but sneer. "Hui Hui, you've been despised by the little squirrel. Do you have bad breath?"

The tourists nearby could not help but laugh when they saw this.

Hui Hui was dumbfounded.

She just wanted to tease this little squirrel, but who knew that she would be despised by this little squirrel?

It was just a squirrel. Did it have to be so vengeful?

Chapter 115

Night fell.

Most of the tourists had left the bustling Qinglin Villa. Only a few tents were standing in a few places, and the tourists inside were preparing to spend the exciting night.

"Boss Qin, we'll get off work too. See you tomorrow." Captain Hong also bade farewell to Qin Lin and left the villa in a patrol car.

"Woof!" Wang Cai cried for help.

It kept jumping in front of Qin Lin, Zhao Moqing, and Lin Fen, but the red fur on its back had no intention of coming down at all, as if it wanted to be a squirrel dog rider. The dog couldn't do anything to it.

Faced with Wang Cai's request for help, Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen just watched. Qin Lin only scolded, "Red Hair, don't bully Wang Cai."

It was like watching two small children make a scene and not helping each other.

Seeing that its three masters were not helping it, Wang Cai lay on the ground and rolled, forcing Red Hair to come down and crawl onto Qin Lin's shoulder.

Wang Cai got up and whined unhappily at Red Hair.

Gao Yaoyao ran over. "Boss, look at Douyin's trending list. Red Hair is famous."

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing both took out their phones to check. As expected, they saw a trending video about Red Hair on Douyin's trending list. This was because many bloggers had reposted the same video which had hundreds of thousands of likes.

The video was the one where the beautiful woman fed Red Hair pine nuts and was despised. It was unknown which tourist took it and uploaded it online.

The title read: "The squirrels in Qinglin Villa have become spirits. They actually despise beauties!"

...

"Red Hair actually did this today?" Zhao Moqing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Red Hair kick the pine nut away in disdain.

The comments below were even better.

"Little squirrel: This beauty has bad breath and wants me to eat her saliva!"

"Not very damaging, but very insulting!"

"The counter-attack from the little squirrel. It looked disgusted."

"The little squirrel has done its examination. The beauty has bad breath, so everyone move aside. Let me kiss this beauty!"

"…"

Qin Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw these comments.

That beauty would probably feel awkward when she saw this video, right?

"Qin Lin, look at this bear. It's even more popular than Red Hair." Zhao Moqing suddenly handed another video to Qin Lin.

It was a black bear wearing a roller skate. Most importantly, the roller skate was very slippery.

"Is this bear the reincarnation of the one from Journey to the West?"

"I don't live as carefree as this bear!"

"I just saw a spiritual squirrel, and now it's a black bear. Are all the animals in Douyin spiritual?"

Such intelligent animals were always popular on the Internet. The long-legged Internet celebrity that Douyin wanted to promote was suppressed by two animals.

With the appearance of Red Hair, the villa became much livelier.

In the next few days, many tourists appeared specifically to take pictures of Red Hair.

Moreover, something funny had happened at the villa in the past two days.

There was a tourist and a colleague from the company who came to the company to play. He seemed to have bumped into his girlfriend. Most importantly, there was a man beside his girlfriend. The tourist hit him on impulse.

After the beating, the woman said that it was her brother and angrily broke up with the tourist. The man was also taken away by Captain Hong. He had a free meal in jail and was later bailed out. In the end, he did not get a free three-day tour.

In addition, the 30 million enterprise guidance fund that the county had promised had already arrived at Qinglin Food Company's account.

In other words, Qin Lin had finally paid off his family's debt and now owed the county another 50 million.

However, this time, he did not feel the same sense of urgency as before. Instead, he was filled with hope for the future.

Because this debt was nothing like what it had been before.

…

In the afternoon.

The sun was shining. In the winter before Christmas, it was definitely a touristy day.

Qinglin Villa was also more lively.

After receiving Deng Guang's call, Qin Lin immediately drove the BMW 5 Series to the factory.

However, there were two long queues outside the factory. There were also two tables at the entrance. The two managers promoted by the factory were registering information.

They were hiring people.

The money from the county had arrived. The factory was about to expand, and they were about to start hiring employees.

As soon as Deng Guang got into the car, he said, "President Qin, we've already contacted them. We can just go over and take a look at the factory one by one."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded.

The county's 30 million enterprise guidance fund had already been approved. Naturally, they had to spend this money to expand the production of Qinglin Ketchup as soon as possible.

All that money came with interest.

The fastest way to expand was naturally to buy a ready-made factory that met the requirements for food production. This way, he only needed to buy the production line, adjust it, and reach the approval standard before he could produce it.

Moreover, he had already ordered the production line for 30 million yuan. Apart from the money for the reserved use of the factory and the initial raw materials and employee salary, the rest of the money had been used to order the same ketchup production line as before.

There were 35 production lines in all.

Very few factories in Youcheng County could set up so many production lines, and companies with factories of this scale would not sell their factories. Therefore, Qinglin Food Company had to buy several factories to resettle them.

In a small county like Youcheng County, there was no way for them to develop quickly. They could only invest in a large-scale factory when Qinglin Food Company developed well in the future.

Qin Lin and Deng Guang took turns reading through the scheduled factories and were satisfied. They went through the procedures as quickly as possible and signed the contract.

These factories were actually contacted by the county, and those bosses did not dare to pull any tricks. Now, the county was even more anxious about Qinglin Ketchup than Qin Lin, the boss. Moreover, these factories were all in the industrial zone, which was not far away.

Naturally, the employees of these factories would also accept them. They would first go to the old factories to familiarize themselves with the use of production lines. Otherwise, even if they had already started recruiting, they would not be able to recruit enough people in a short period of time.

When the 35 production lines ordered this time could be put into production, Qinglin Food Company would have 42 production lines with 1,000 bottles of production capacity per hour.

At that time, Qinglin Food Company would be carrying out double shifts. Once the recruitment was full, there would probably be more than 600 employees.

However, at that time, the maximum production capacity of Qinglin Food Company could reach 840,000 bottles of 200g tomato sauce in a day. Not only would it be enough for Cheng He to spread out quickly in the province, but he could also find other agents in other provinces.

Naturally, when the time came, Qinglin Food Company would also face a problem of raw materials. Youcheng County did not have so many tomato raw materials to satisfy this production. If they bought tomato materials from elsewhere, the price would be even more expensive and the cost would increase invisibly.

However, the development was too rapid. There was no choice.

Qin Lin followed Deng Guang and spent half a day dealing with the factory. He handed some follow-up details to Deng Guang before driving back to the villa.

When he reached the bar, he saw Wang Cai lying on the ground and Red Hair jumping on its back.

The little squirrel seemed interested in the dog's back.

After a few days, Wang Cai seemed to be helpless against it and resigned to its fate.

At the bar, Zhao Moqing was also busy introducing something to the four girls in front of the computer.

That was one finance and three accountants just recruited.

With the development of the villa and Qinglin Food Company, Zhao Moqing would not be able to handle it alone. She would definitely need help. She had planned to recruit more people previously, but she could not find anyone suitable for the time being.

A few days ago, she happened to arrive at the county's civil service examination. Coincidentally, Zhao Moqing had left the tax bureau, so she had to recruit another one. After the public examination made an announcement, many accounting and finance majors tried it. Naturally, only one person could pass in the end.

These people definitely wanted to stay in their hometowns. Zhao Moqing had an uncle in the tax bureau, so she naturally contacted a few people.

Qin Lin didn't disturb Zhao Moqing. He walked straight to a table by the window and looked at the game scene in his mind. Then, he controlled the game character to go to the Spring Mine to mine.

Previously, he had obtained a secret recipe for ketchup from digging a Mystic Stone Slab on the first level. He was still looking forward to the mine.

After controlling the game character to enter the second level of the mine, he found a spot and started digging.

As he dug through the stones one by one and found a few pieces of gold, silver, and copper, Qin Lin received an unexpected notification.

[Congratulations on obtaining Violet Jadeite Ore: Quality 1]

Violet Jadeite Ore?

Shouldn't it be called a stone?

Chapter 116

?

[Congratulations on obtaining Violet Jadeite Ore: Quality 1]

[This is a piece of violet jadeite ore that can be sold for gold coins! I heard that Sebara of the Forging House has opened a jewelry forging service. You can take a look!]

Was this because mining could trigger a plot and open up new functions?

In Ranches Story, mines could be mined. Gold, silver, copper, and even agate could be found.

However, there did not seem to be anything like jade in the old version. It should be something newly added in the new version.

Moreover, although the old forging house could forge farm tools and upgrade them, and at the end of the upgrade, the farm tools could even chop off an area of wooden stakes with an axe, just like a martial arts expert, the forging house did not have the function of forging jewelry. It seemed like it was a new function.

Most importantly, if a prop like a fishing rod could be brought out in reality, could he do the same for jewelry?

From the time he and Zhao Moqing fell in love to the time they secretly registered their marriage, he had never given her a single piece of decent jewelry. Besides, tomorrow was Christmas Eve. It was time to give her something.

As Qin Lin thought about it, he directly controlled his game character to leave the ranch and head to the Ore Town Forging House to talk to the old NPC, Sebara. He chose to forge jewelry.

[May I ask what part of the jewelry you are forging?]

[ Pendants, bracelets, rings…]

Qin Lin looked at the options and decisively chose the pendant because Zhao Moqing liked pendants. However, the most expensive pendant he had given her in the past was only 200 yuan.

[Please choose the style you want to forge!]

[You can also give me the design you already have!]

Two more options appeared in the game.

Qin Lin naturally didn't have any design plans, so he could only choose the pendant design that came with the game. There weren't many types of accessories in the game, only the three types of accessories.

Qin Lin chose the pendant beside the bag because this was the most beautiful of the three.

[Please select the forging materials!]

Qin Lin directly chose the Violet Jadeite Ore.

[Materials are lacking. You need wrapping materials to forge it!]

Seeing the game notification, Qin Lin understood. There were two materials needed. The violet ore was the main body, and another material was needed as the side.

Qin Lin immediately chose the gold ore in his bag. Gold jade had always been the best choice, but one gold ore was not enough. He chose 10 gold ores at once to click on the 'forge' option.

A moment later, the violet ore and the five gold ores shimmered. Then the light fused and a pendant slowly appeared.

[Congratulations on successfully forging a Violet Jade Pendant!]

Seeing this, Qin Lin controlled the game character to return to the ranch as quickly as possible. Then, he found an empty place in the villa and entered the game.

After replacing the game character, he also took out the Violet Jade Pendant and saw the note:

[Violet Jade Pendant: Quality 1]

[This is a pendant made from violet jadeite. It has a beautiful appearance and is very popular with women. Beauty +1, art +1, translucency +1.]

It was a very simple attribute. Beauty and art were both easy to understand. After all, any jewelry was associated with these two things. Didn't jewelry look at the beauty, the artistry, and the price?

Qin Lin looked at the translucency +1.

He knew nothing about jade, but he had seen the relevant videos and roughly knew that the more translucent the jade, the higher the price of jade.

The pendant was beautiful in appearance. The violet jade was the main body of the pendant, and the wrapping material was gold. It had even created subtle patterns, like two exquisite phoenixes.

The gold was also pure without any impurities.

This game's forging was quite convenient. Gold ores did not even need to undergo complicated industrial extraction before they were directly turned into finished gold.

But he had submitted 10 pieces of gold ore as materials. Was this all the gold he had?

This blacksmith shop was a little shady.

Fortunately, this pendant was very beautiful. Zhao Moqing would definitely like it.

However, looking at the pendant, Qin Lin fell into deep thought.

He didn't think he ever gave his mother any decent jewelry before either.

Even though his mother was old, she was still a woman. Didn't she like jewelry?

She surely did.

Older women liked jewelry just as much.

He could buy a golden bracelet and give it to his mother. He could guarantee that she would smile happily.

Qin Lin also firmly believed that his mother used to have jewelry and an emerald bracelet. She had only sold it when she was treating his father.

Now that he had to give Zhao Moqing jewelry on Christmas Eve, he definitely couldn't forget about his mother.

Although he knew that his mother wouldn't say anything even if he only gave Zhao Moqing a gift. However, as her son, he couldn't be biased and forget his mother.

But he only had one pendant now.

He could just keep digging.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to head to the Spring Mine again to continue mining.

The second floor of this new version of the mine was much bigger than the first. Some of them had been dug, but his luck didn't seem to be very good after that. He dug a lot more gold, silver, and copper, but no more jade ore came out.

He could only continue to control the game character and dig hard.

If it really didn't work out, he would use those gold ores to see if he could forge a gold bracelet for his mother at the forging house. If not, he would buy a bracelet outside.

No matter what, he couldn't leave his mother behind when he sent gifts tomorrow.

Fortunately, his efforts paid off. When he was about to finish digging in the open area on the second floor of the mine, he unearthed another jadeite:

[Congratulations on obtaining Flower-Green Jade Ore: Quality 1]

[This is a piece of jadeite ore that can be sold for gold coins! You can also go to the forging house to find Sebara to forge jewelry.]

Flower-Green Jade Ore?

Qin Lin's eyes lit up. The jade bracelet that his mother sold to treat his father was the Flower-Green Bracelet. He still remembered that the bracelet was only sold for 2,000 yuan because there was no certificate.

Perhaps it was fate!

Without hesitation, Qin Lin controlled his game character to head to the forging house again and chose to forge the bracelet.

This bracelet only needed one kind of jade.

[Congratulations on successfully forging two Flower-Green Jade bracelets!]

Qin Lin was surprised. He didn't expect two to come out this time.

In his hometown, other than as a big wedding gift, gold and silver bracelets were usually given in pairs, while jade bracelets were given by itself. The elders would give two, and the juniors would give one. Jade bracelets were usually only worn on the left hand. He just did not know how this tradition came about and what it meant.

He originally wanted to give both of them to his mother, but on careful thought, he already had gifts for his mother and Zhao Moqing. Although his mother-in-law had forgiven him, he could not take it for granted. He had to be filial to her as well.

To be honest, when the marriage certificate was discovered and Zhao Moqing's mother took out the 300,000 yuan, he was really ashamed and grateful.

Now, these two bracelets were just right for his mother and mother-in-law.

After the item was forged, Qin Lin controlled the game character to return to the ranch. Then, he found an empty place to enter the game again and saw the information on the bracelet.

[Flower-Green Jade Bracelet: Quality 1]

[This is a bracelet made of floral green jade. It has a beautiful appearance and is very popular with women. Beauty +1, art +1, translucency +1.]

Both bracelets were the usual size. Mother and mother-in-law's hands could fit the bracelet.

Moreover, the notes for the bracelet and pendant were similar, and they both had the attribute of translucency +1. This Violet Jadeite pendant and Flower-Green Jade bracelet couldn't be too cheap, right?

However, there was really no one around him who understood jade. He had to find someone to appraise it.

At the thought of this, Qin Lin logged out of the game with the bracelet and pendant and left the villa.

After entering the county city, he went straight to a jade shop called Jadeware Pavilion.

This shop was different from those fraudulent jewelry shops. Although it also dealt in jade jewelry, it was only custom-made and came with an appraisal service. The owner was in charge of the appraisal. He was an old man who had retired and returned to his roots. The price was considered fair and his reputation was good.

Nowadays, many people would look for the Jadeware Pavilion to forge jade artifacts when they got married. After all, there were too many shops on the streets that cheated people when it came to jade artifacts.

Qin Lin also had some experience with this. When his mother was selling her jade bracelets, the other party would tell the shortcomings of several bracelets at a glance. It was as if she was afraid that others wouldn't be able to tell that she was deliberately lowering the price.

If the other party took his mother's bracelet and sold it, those few flaws would become several merits again.

Those who could sell their jewelry were all from their families. They could only accept it if they were cheated. They only hoped that they wouldn't be too ruthless.

Chapter 117

Qin Lin entered Jadeware Pavilion. There was only a girl in her 20s receiving him.

"Welcome, sir." The girl offered a professional smile in return.

The girl's figure was very good and eye-catching, but as a married man, Qin Lin could only ignore her. Then, he told her the purpose of his visit. "I want to appraise jade jewelry."

"Yes, sir. One moment." The girl nodded and walked to an inner door. She shouted inside, "Grandpa, someone wants to appraise jade jewelry."

"Coming," said an old man in an apron.

"Grandpa, this is the gentleman." The girl pointed at Qin Lin.

The old man nodded and said to Qin Lin, "Sir, I'll take a look at your jade artifact."

Qin Lin also took out the Violet Jadeite pendant and the Flower-Green Jade pendant.

The old man was surprised to see two pieces of jade. "Sir, this is new, and it's handmade and custom made, right?"

"You have a good eye. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so I ordered three pieces of jade for my wife, mother, and mother-in-law online. I was afraid that I would be deceived, so I wanted to appraise them before giving them away."

Qin Lin couldn't help but admire this old man. This was indeed newly forged. The forging shop, Sebara, could be considered custom-made.

When the old man heard Qin Lin's words, he smiled and nodded. He took out a magnifying glass and appraised it. "This is Violet and Flower-Green Jadeite. Their customization skills are not bad, their beauty and translucency are not bad. They are already considered ice jade."

"Sir, according to the custom price, this Violet Jadeite Pendant is about 60,000 yuan. You won't lose out if this Floral-Green Jade Bracelet is about 50,000 yuan."

...

The old man appraised quickly. After all, it was not a complicated type of jade, so he quickly gave Qin Lin a price.

Qin Lin knew that jade jewelry was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

This was more valuable than anything produced by the game before.

It was a pity that there were limited mining areas on each level of the Spring Mine, and the yield was also random.

However, the old man thought highly of Qin Lin. Youcheng County was a small county after all. To many people, 50,000 to 60,000 yuan was already a huge sum. There were probably very few young people who could think of customizing these three pieces of jewelry for their wife, mother, and mother-in-law at the same time.

The girl took the opportunity to promote it. "Sir, you must have a decent gift box as a gift. You can choose three gift boxes from us."

"Alright, I'll buy three gift boxes." Qin Lin nodded. Gifts indeed needed exquisite gift boxes.

A moment later.

Qin Lin paid the bill and left. Then, he hid the three pieces of jewelry in the car and waited to surprise his mother and Moqing tomorrow night.

However, the old man looked at his granddaughter and said, "You have to find a boyfriend like him. To be able to customize three pieces of such jewelry at such a young age means that he's very capable. You know that giving a wife a gift on Christmas Eve means that he dotes on his wife. He didn't forget his Mom, so he is also filial. He even remembers his mother-in-law, so he has a good character. Look at your…"

"Grandpa, can you stop nagging him?"

'What did he give you last year?'

"An apple!"

"And the year before?"

"Apple!"

"What about the year before last?"

"Grandpa, can you stop asking?"

The old man teased, "Doesn't it hurt to receive such different treatment?"

The girl said nothing.

…

When Qin Lin drove back to the villa, Zhao Moqing asked him, "Qin Lin, Yaoyao and the others are asking if we want to do Christmas decorations."

Qin Lin asked, "Are there other scenic spots in the tourism association?"

Previously, after Chen Li asked him to join the tourism association, although the association did not have a base of operations, there was a WeChat group with all the scenic spots in Youcheng County.

Zhao Moqing explained, "Initially, they wanted to do it in Hero Valley, but Gingko Valley gave up because they were afraid that someone would target them online."

When Qin Lin heard this, he sighed. "Then let's not set it up. We won't get ourselves into trouble."

Christmas was not their traditional culture, and there were always some fierce arguments online about whether or not to celebrate it.

Many people defined Christmas as a time to sell their country and worship foreigners.

Qin Lin didn't have much of an opinion on this. If he wanted to celebrate it, he would. It was purely his personal freedom.

For example, if he wanted to send jewelry to Zhao Moqing and his mother on Christmas Eve, he didn't think that he was a foreigner. He just happened to dig up jade ores at this time and used this holiday to hold a ceremony.

Actually, to say something that would be scolded by some people, he felt that their traditional culture had stood strong for 5,000 years not because they chased away all the foreign things.

Protecting their traditional culture in a sterile box would also be suffocating their own culture.

Naturally, Qin Lin did not want to cause trouble for himself. After all, there were many people on the Internet who deliberately tried to attract attention.

His villa was so popular now, it was obvious it would become a target.

Zhao Moqing nodded. "Got it. We won't set it up anymore. Should we send a gift to the employees of the villa and factory? Like chocolate, nuts, and so on?"

Qin Lin didn't refuse. "Yes, even if we don't set it up, we can let the employees feel the atmosphere in private. No one can cause trouble for us. Tomorrow, I'll go to RT-Mart and get a batch of nuts and chocolate gift bags."

...

The next day.

After Qin Lin got up and moved the items from the game to the villa, he went straight to RT-Mart to look for President Chu Chu. With his current relationship with President Chu, he could easily get a batch of nuts and chocolate gift bags based on the purchase price.

Instead, President Chu made tea and asked him to stay. They bragged to each other for a long time before leaving and returning to the villa.

When he arrived at the villa, he was surprised to see Chen Li sitting at a table with a young girl.

The little girl seemed to be still a high school student. She was very pretty, but very thin. She didn't look very healthy in some aerodromes.

"Boss Qin." Chen Li saw Qin Lin return and greeted him with a smile.

"Chief Chen, what instructions do you have?" Qin Lin smiled and walked forward.

"Boss Qin, I'm here as a father today. You don't have to treat me like a chief." Chen Li smiled and said. Then, he looked at his daughter and said, "This is my daughter, Chen Xiaoru. She's in her third year of high school this year and has a lot of pressure on her studies. It's rare for me to bring her out to play on the weekend."

"Year Three is indeed tough." Qin Lin nodded and thought of the sea of exam papers piled high on his study desk in the past.

The Year Three students nowadays suffered the most.

"Boss Qin didn't do any Christmas decorations?" Chen Li asked, "Everyone in the county is doing it."

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of trouble. The villa is so popular now that no one will notice those shops. If I do this, I'll definitely be targeted. There might be news of our Qinglin Villa worshiping foreigners tomorrow."

Chen Li stopped talking about this topic and said to Chen Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, you can call this Boss Qin Uncle Qin."

"Uncle Qin?" Qin Lin was stunned.

He had graduated from university at the age of 23. His daughter was 18 years old, right?

Was it appropriate to call him Uncle?

Chen Xiaoru also looked at Qin Lin in surprise and asked curiously, "Do you have the cheek to agree with me calling you uncle?"

Qin Lin was stumped. "Actually, you don't have to listen to your father. You can call me brother."

Instead, Chen Xiaoru asked, "But your surname is Qin, so shouldn't I call you Brother Qin? I'm afraid your girlfriend will be jealous."

"?" Qin Lin was stunned.

Why did Chief Chen's daughter feel like a campus boss?

Chen Xiaoru continued, "So, I'll call you Uncle Qin!"

Chen Li was helpless and could only apologize to Qin Lin. "Children's words carry no harm. Boss Qin, don't take offense."

Chen Xiaoru was dissatisfied. "Dad, I'm 18 years old. You're already so old, but you still don't know how to speak. No wonder you still can't woo my form teacher even after I've helped you a few times."

"Cough… cough!" Chen Li was eating a strawberry. When he heard this, he almost choked. As if he was afraid of misunderstanding, he hurriedly explained to Qin Lin, "Her mother passed away after giving birth to her. Her form teacher also lost her husband very early on. The two of us met by chance in the park. They wanted to matchmake us when they knew the situation."

"Did you see that? My father is explaining very nervously. He clearly wants to woo my form teacher." Chen Xiaoru instead teased her father, Chen Li. "If he can woo my form teacher, my form teacher will definitely be more serious and responsible for my studies. Moreover, the form teacher's son is so handsome. He even got into Qing University. When the time comes, I'll be able to enjoy the benefits of being close to him. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"…" Qin Lin was really stunned when he heard this. Were high school students nowadays so bold?

It seemed that his mother was also following a TV series where both parents and children were in a relationship.

It seemed to be called 'Minnie's Home'.

A family should really keep the goodies to themselves.

Chapter 118

Chen Li felt that he couldn't do anything about his daughter and hurriedly changed the topic. "Boss Qin, actually, I have something to ask of you today."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Chief Chen, you're being too polite. I'll definitely help if I can."

Chen Li said in embarrassment, "Xiaoru's mother gave birth to her. Actually, Xiaoru's health has never been very good. She's in her third year of high school now and her studies are heavy. I'm usually busy, so I can only give her money to eat outside. Now, she's anemic."

"She's going to take the college entrance examination next year. She's in the midst of a breakthrough now, so her body can't collapse. The doctor suggested giving her more food to nourish her blood."

"But I don't know what food is useful for anemia. Right now, the county's Regional Tourism+ plan is also busy. The food your villa cooks is delicious, so can I ask your villa for help?"

Qin Lin understood why Chen Xiaoru was so thin and didn't reject Chen Li's request. "Chief Chen, I understand. Since she calls me uncle, I can't ignore my niece. Just let her come over every day. I'll get the kitchen to make some food supplements for her."

There were many supplements that were effective for anemia. For example, loaches were effective for anemia. His Level 2 paddy fields could farm some loaches. There were also things like carrots, spinach, and black beans that could be planted in the Level 1 fields. They were at least Quality 1 and also effective for anemia.

When the time came, he would just prepare some for Master Lin to make every day. Occasionally, he would get some Quality 2 for Chen Xiaoru.

This was a small matter to him. It was up to him to help.

Chen Li had always been running around for him. Previously, he had even specially stood up for him. Of course, he had it do it on account of their friendship.

If it were someone else in Chen Li's position, they might be high and mighty. They might not necessarily get along so well.

Seeing that Qin Lin had agreed, Chen Li was also full of smiles. "Then I'll have to trouble Boss Qin. When the time comes, I'll transfer some money on you. You can just deduct it when she comes over."

"Alright!" Qin Lin nodded.

...

He also knew that given Chen Li's position, he could not give this treatment to the other party for free. That would not benefit either of them. When the time came, he could just calculate the price of the ordinary ingredients for the other party. It would not cost much.

Chen Li's thoughts were settled. He asked with concern, "Boss Qin, is your ketchup factory progressing smoothly?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Yes, the contracts for several factories have been signed and the employees are being recruited step by step. We're just waiting for the production line to be ordered. We still have to thank the county for their support."

Chen Li sighed. "The county naturally has to support it. It's also good for Youcheng County to have more brands like Qinglin Ketchup."

"Actually, the county has always wanted to create some specialty brands, but they have invested a lot of money in bamboo and tinsel without any results. There's no other brand with potential like Qinglin Ketchup in the county."

When Qin Lin heard this, he thought of the sauce in Shui Nan's shop.

That was also a Quality 1 formula. Its potential wouldn't be too bad. Unfortunately, the old man was traditional in his thinking and didn't sell the formula at all. He couldn't force it.

He could tell Chen Li about this. Perhaps the county had a way to convince the old man.

To be honest, it was a pity that such traditional craftsmanship was lost.

The key was that this sauce took the path of Lao Gan Ma. The taste and texture were different, so it could not conflict with his ketchup.

As he was thinking, Gao Yaoyao suddenly walked over with a young man and reported, "Boss, this gentleman wants to see you. He has something important to discuss with you."

"You are?" Qin Lin looked at the young man in confusion. He didn't seem to know him.

The young man hurriedly introduced himself. "President Qin, my name is Zhou Chengjun. I'm a fourth-year student. I'm currently doing an internship and studying business management."

"You want to intern here?" Qin Lin asked in surprise.

Zhou Chengjun shook his head and took out a business card. It was Qin Lin's business card.

Qin Lin was stunned. The business cards Deng Guang had prepared for him weren't distributed much. Only Qin Ren Studio, Zhang Shi, and Lin Feng had them.

Zhou Chengjun continued, "I came back this time because of Grandpa's birthday. I accidentally saw President Qin's business card in his shop. I just didn't expect that the boss of Qinglin Villa, who is already so accomplished, would actually be around my age. It's really admirable."

"You're the grandson of the sauce boss?" Qin Lin reacted. Wasn't this the same as speaking of the devil?

This was such a coincidence.

Zhou Chengjun nodded and said, "I came to look for President Qin today because of the sauce formula."

Qin Lin asked, "Your grandfather agreed to sell the formula?"

Zhou Chengjun shook his head and said, "My grandfather won't agree to sell the formula, but if I want to learn it, he will teach me. The reason why I waited so long to look for Boss Qin was to learn how to make this formula from him."

"However, I'm not here to sell the formula today. I want to work with President Qin and beg you to invest. This is the proposal I wrote."

As Zhou Chengjun spoke, he handed a document to Qin Lin with anticipation in his eyes.

This return might be the greatest opportunity of his life.

He used to think that his grandfather's sauce was delicious. When he was studying in university, he had wondered if it was possible to promote his grandfather's sauce. After all, there was the precedent of Lao Gan Ma.

It was just very difficult to promote a product, especially one that was not famous at all.

But now there was a perfect opportunity in front of him.

Qin Lin was surprised by Zhou Chengjun's motive. He picked up the other party's proposal and started reading.

The proposal was detailed, and even the market investigation was serious.

This Zhou Chengjun was clearly talented.

After reading the final investment in the proposal, Qin Lin looked at Zhou Chengjun seriously and asked, "Are you serious? You're willing to give up 70% of the shares for a five million yuan investment?"

To be honest, even if an intern had any projects, they would be rejected most of the time if they asked for an investment of five million yuan.

However, he had to admit that the other party's formula was definitely worth the investment. It was a formula that could make a Quality 1 sauce and 70% of the shares. It was more than worthwhile.

Zhou Chengjun nodded affirmatively. "As long as President Qin agrees to those additional conditions, it will be worth it."

Qin Lin nodded.

The additional condition was to use Qinglin Villa's channels to help promote it. As long as the other party did not make a big mistake, the management rights would always belong to them.

Actually, this sauce was just icing on the cake for him. After all, his ketchup hadn't been spread out yet, and the sour and spicy taste hadn't been released yet. Moreover, he would definitely obtain other secret recipes in the game later. It didn't matter if he had the sauce formula or not. There was no need to think of forcefully taking it for himself.

That kind of investment was fine.

He did not mind supporting Zhou Chengjun, so he said to him, "Your plan is not bad. I'm very willing to invest in you, but I can't fork out five million yuan in one go now! Once I sign the contract, I'll also need to transfer money to you."

Chapter 119

When Zhou Chengjun saw that Qin Lin had agreed to invest, his face immediately lit up. "Thank you, President Qin. When can we sign the investment agreement?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

Zhou Chengjun's expression suddenly darkened. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "President Qin is also a young man. You should understand that we young people are eager to succeed most of the time. Otherwise, some things can't be defended."

Qin Lin was stunned.

The other party seemed to be someone who had a story.

Indeed, he was right. He was a young man, too, and knew how young men longed for success.

Now, the pressure on young people was unprecedented. Work, betrothal gifts, cars, and houses were all mountains. They were suffocated by reality. When they went online to relax, they would be stabbed in the heart by countless videos of 'successful' people and forced to swallow countless poisonous chicken soup.

His body was overwhelmed, and his mind seemed to be suffocating.

Which young man didn't carry the weight of what they wanted to protect? But society left fewer and fewer chances for young people to succeed.

Before obtaining the system, if such an opportunity was placed in front of him, he might be even more anxious than Zhou Chengjun.

...

The year he graduated, he was really afraid that he and Zhao Moqing would die without a cause. Fortunately, Zhao Moqing gave him the greatest confidence and warmth.

This made him subconsciously look at Zhao Moqing at the bar.

Zhao Moqing seemed to have noticed Qin Lin's gaze and looked over.

Now the ending was happy.

Qin Lin turned to Zhou Chengjun and said, "Bring your grandfather, the sauce you made, and a copy of the relevant documents over tomorrow. We'll sign the investment agreement directly."

"Thank you, President Qin." After receiving Qin Lin's reply, Zhou Chengjun finally couldn't help but smile. After confirming the details with Qin Lin, he bade farewell and left the villa in a hurry.

As soon as he left the villa, Zhou Chengjun clenched his fists and couldn't help but look excited.

A summer house, a BBA, and 400,000 yuan of betrothal gifts were almost impossible for him, an intern who had yet to graduate, even with his family's financial support.

Now, starting from this five million investment, anything was possible.

Heaven still favored him.

Zhou Chengjun took out his phone and dialed a number. He could not wait to share this good news with her.

A female voice came on the line. "Chengjun, I'm sorry! Between you and my parents, I can't abandon my parents. They have raised me for over 20 years…"

Zhou Chengjun panicked and immediately said, "Xiao Jue, I…"

However, the other party interrupted him. "I'm sorry. I've already listened to my parents' arrangements for a blind date. My parents are very satisfied with the other party. He has a house, a car, and a decent job in Xia City. Just take it that I lack the courage to give in to reality!"

The only thing left on the line was the dead tone.

Zhou Chengjun's expression instantly froze.

He did not know why this had happened in the short few days.

Couldn't she wait for him?

For some reason, he remembered a senior's warning: Us men from a small city shouldn't date girls from big cities. Otherwise, it will be unforgettable when we graduate. Even if we can continue, we can't escape the label of a poor rural man.

He had once thought it would never happen to him.

He believed in love, but everything seemed to be on a loop. No one could escape it.

…

Chen Li had been watching silently just now. When he saw Zhou Chengjun leave, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Qin, I wonder what the sauce you were talking about is?"

Qin Lin explained with a smile, "Chief Chen, didn't you say that you couldn't find a second product like Qinglin Ketchup in the county? Actually, there is. Zhou Chengjun's grandfather knows how to make a sauce that is absolutely delicious with steamed dumplings."

Chen Li asked worriedly, "Boss Qin, will this sauce affect your ketchup?"

Qin Lin shook his head. "The route is different. This sauce takes the route of Lao Gan Ma. Unfortunately, it has only just been discovered. Otherwise, it might have become another Lao Gan Ma 20 years ago."

Chen Li did not expect Qin Lin to have such a high evaluation of a sauce.

If Qin Lin was just an ordinary young man, he wouldn't care much about these words. After all, there were so many people shouting that he was the next famous person. All of them were just daydreaming.

However, Boss Qin had already created Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Ketchup, which had a huge impact on Youcheng County. His words carried too much weight.

This made him look forward to the sauce.

"Little squirrel." Chen Xiaoru suddenly shouted in surprise and ran to the bar.

Red Hair was already jumping around on the bar counter. To Qin Lin's surprise, there were two cute squirrels following behind Red Hair.

These two squirrels were clearly a little timid. They followed behind Red Hair and looked around nervously. When they saw Chen Xiaoru run over, they were so frightened that they scurried up the hall's beams.

Qin Lin watched this scene in surprise.

The two squirrels were clearly wild squirrels from the Sea of Flowers.

These squirrels were attracted by the ecological harmony +3 attribute attached to the Quality 3 triangular plum tree.

Usually, they would only move around the three triangular plums and not outside.

Now that these two had appeared at the bar, it seemed to be related to Red Hair.

"Squeak!" Red Hair seemed to bark at the two little squirrels.

After a long time, the two wild squirrels quietly landed on the bar again.

Chapter 120

Seeing Qin Lin walk to the bar, Red Hair jumped into his arms and squeaked at him, his claws constantly moving his clothes.

Qin Lin miraculously understood. The little guy was going to get clothes for these two wild squirrels?

There could be such a thing?

Thinking about it, it was really possible. After all, squirrels were one of the top 10 intelligent animals in the world and Red Hair was a game product. The note said that it was very intelligent.

But didn't that mean Red Hair was helping him train these wild squirrels?

Qin Lin didn't know if his guess was right, but it was worth a try.

He immediately looked at the game character on the screen in his mind and controlled the game character to go to the pet merchant. Previously, he had received a hint from the little squirrel game that he could buy what pets needed from the pet merchant.

Did that mean there were clothes for squirrels to wear?

After controlling the game character to head to Ore Town and finding the pet merchant, he clicked on the purchase list. Not only did a row of available pets appear, but various pet supplies also appeared.

Among them were supplies including squirrels, everything from rations of pine nuts to clothes.

Small clothes like Red Hair's were not expensive. They did not cost much gold.

Qin Lin decisively chose to buy two clothes for the squirrel.

But on second thought, he bought more.

...

Then, Qin Lin hurriedly left the hall and found an empty place to enter the game. He brought the squirrels' clothes out of the game.

When he returned to the hall, he found that Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen were also there.

Chen Xiaoru was holding some pine nuts and placing them on the table one by one. Red Hair picked up the pine nuts and placed them in the small bag in front of his chest. The other two wild squirrels hooked their heads and watched. One of them even reached a paw towards the bag in front of Red Hair's chest, but Red Hair quickly retracted it with a squeak.

Chen Li quietly watched from behind his daughter. He also felt that this little squirrel was very cute. He really didn't know how Boss Qin trained her.

"Qin Lin, why are these two squirrels here?" Zhao Moqing asked in surprise when he saw Qin Lin.

"They're lackeys that Red Hair brought over just now," Qin Lin explained as he placed the squirrel's clothes on the bar.

When Red Hair saw this scene, he immediately squeaked. The other two squirrels seemed to have heard the call and hesitated behind Red Hair.

Seeing this, Qin Lin tried to reach out and grab one of the squirrels.

The little squirrel was very timid. Under such circumstances, it would usually have scurried out and run. But this time, the squirrel was actually in his hand. Its watery eyes looked at him nervously.

Qin Lin picked up a squirrel-sized shirt and carefully put it on the little squirrel. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt it.

Miraculously, the little squirrel did not resist.

He felt incredulous.

A moment later, there was another piece of clothing on the little squirrel. It was the same style as Red Hair, but the color was different.

Then, Qin Lin grabbed the other squirrel and dressed it up.

The scene surprised everyone. The little squirrels were too well behaved.

Chen Xiaoru took out another pine nut and placed it on the bar. This time, a wild squirrel ran over and grabbed the pine nut. It seemed to want to put it in its bag, but its first attempt failed and the pine nut fell back onto the bar.

The other one scuttled forward and picked up the pine nut. It also tried to copy Red Hair and put it in its bag, but it didn't succeed the first time either. Instead, the two squirrels started fighting over the pine nut.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaoru hurriedly placed all the pine nuts on the table. Only then did the two wild squirrels stop fighting and start trying to put the pine nuts into their bags again.

Zhao Moqing couldn't help but say, "Qin Lin, aren't they too smart?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "In terms of food processing, squirrels are the top 10 intelligent animals in the world."

It took half a day for the two wild squirrels to successfully put a pine nut into the bag.

"Squeak!" Red Hair squeaked as he scuttled away.

The two squirrels looked around and immediately ran out.

Chen Li brought Chen Xiaoru to play in the villa for a while before leaving with the reluctant little girl.

As evening approached, the kitchen started to get busy again. Master Lin and the others started to cook for the employees. Just as Qin Lin was about to enter the kitchen to see what he wanted to eat today and ask Master Lin to make some, he realized that Red Hair had appeared again.

This time, other than the two wild squirrels from before, Red Hair actually brought four more over.

Qin Lin looked at the four squirrels lined up behind Red Hair in surprise.

Was this guy addicted to taking in underlings?

"Qin Lin, do they want clothes too?" Zhao Moqing was surprised. If that was the case, she really wondered if these little squirrels had become spirits.

"Probably." Qin Lin nodded and took out the little squirrel's clothes from under the bar. Fortunately, he had bought more previously.

Seeing this, Zhao Moqing asked eagerly, "Can I dress them?"

"Here." Zhao Moqing took the clothes and carefully grabbed a small squirrel.

The little squirrel actually did not resist.

This made Zhao Moqing happily help it put on its clothes.

When she helped the seven squirrels put on their clothes in unison, it was especially graphic. The seven dressed squirrels gathered there as if they were an animated scene.

"Squeak."

Red Hair called out and scurried out of the hall. The wild squirrels followed again, running in the direction of the Sea of Flowers.

It seemed that Red Hair was already the leader of these wild squirrels.

A moment later.

In the Sea of Flowers, many tourists discovered seven neatly dressed squirrels.

This was attracting too much attention.

Not long after.

Red Hair brought the little squirrels back to the three Quality 3 triangular plums. When they saw a tourist putting down the pine nuts, the squirrels immediately scurried up. They were different from before. This time, after the little squirrels picked up the pine nuts, they actually tried to put them in their bags.

This different scene was noticed by the tourists. They were all surprised and took out their phones to take photos.

"Have these little squirrels leveled up?"

"How clever. They all know how to wrap things in bags."

"Squirrels are one of the top 10 smartest animals in the world. Besides, the owner of this villa trained them well."

"The owner must be a pet trainer?"

…

Night fell faster in winter than before.

The lobby was bustling, too. Tourists were starting to eat.

Qin Lin was chatting with Senior Brother Chu from Power Law Firm on WeChat.

If he wanted to invest in Zhou Chengjun, he definitely had to have an investment agreement.

He explained everything to Brother Chu, then asked him to help draw up an investment agreement.

After chatting for a while, the sky turned completely dark.

There were fewer tourists at the villa today, and the tourists at the buffet quickly left.

As it was Christmas Eve, the villa did not have any Christmas decorations. On such a day, there was no such atmosphere.

Due to this situation, the tourists naturally ran to the county for a meal. Today, the tourists could see Christmas decorations along the way to the villa.

More importantly, he could not stay overnight at the villa. On a day like today, this was a sore point.

Qin Lin had no choice. The bridal chamber had yet to be opened.

Maybe this time next year, the men who delivered the apple and the women who got banged up would come to the bridal chamber for a concert.

But this was good. The special day allowed the employees of the villa to get off work early.

After the tourists left, Qin Lin also asked Chen Dabei to bring in the chocolates and nuts he had bought from RT-Mart. They were all big gift bags and there were a lot of them.

These two large bags added up to at least 100 yuan.

Although 100 yuan was not a lot, it was a big surprise for the employees to receive it for free.

Some girls like Gao Yaoyao posted on their WeChat Moments after receiving their gifts, thanking their boss for his gift to share their joy.

Chapter 121

Qinglin Villa was lively, and so was Qinglin Food Factory.

In the afternoon, a van arrived at the factory and piled bags of nuts and chocolate high in the yard. All the employees knew something was going to be handed out that day.

The nuts and chocolates were all very big gift bags. To these factory employees, they were full of anticipation. If they brought them back for their sons and daughters to eat, they would definitely be happy.

"Those who have collected their items, get off work. Those on the night shift will come back tomorrow morning to collect their items." Deng Guang had been staring at the scene. Now that the factory's employees were overloaded, one production line's employees were already three times their normal demand.

He wouldn't be at ease until he watched some things personally.

Under normal circumstances, if any factory dared to support three idlers in such a position, bankruptcy would not be far off.

However, Qinglin Food Company had no choice but to expand 35 production lines. They were about to enter production. It was impossible without skilled workers. At the very least, they had to familiarize themselves with the use of production line equipment. They could only hire them while adapting to the old factory. When the time came, they would be transferred to a new factory.

In the villa.

After handing out the items and cleaning up, Qin Lin left some employees on duty and got the others to get off work early. Some of the waitresses had already been chatting on WeChat and might be eager to go to the county to be f*cked.

As the boss, he could not be insensible.

Those who stayed behind were willing, and he would give them 100 yuan overtime red packets.

Naturally, those who were willing to stay on duty were most likely single or had no one to ask out.

Master Lin's apprentice, Lin Bing, was very smart. He had already tried to get close to a waitress who was on duty.

...

"Boss, Sister Mo Qing, Aunt Fen, we'll leave first." Gao Yaoyao held the hands of the two waitresses and greeted Qin Lin, Zhao Mo, and Lin Fen before leaving.

Lin Fen waved her hand with a smile. Among her son's employees, Gao Yaoyao was the most likable. She was very proud to see her son's employees all smiling.

Before this, she had not dared to think that her son would have so many employees.

Then, Lin Fen also urged her son, "Xiao Lin, let's go quickly. We can't let Moqing's mother wait too long."

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded with a smile.

His mother and mother-in-law were getting along very well. They often went shopping together and talked about almost everything. They were middle-aged best friends. It also meant that he didn't have to deal with some upsetting family relationships like many men.

Zhao Moqing also held Lin Fen's arm with a smile. Her mother-in-law was close to her mother, so she was naturally the happiest.

Qin Lin instructed the staff on duty and led his mother and Zhao Moqing to the parking lot.

When Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing were about to get into the car, he secretly took out two exquisite gift boxes and handed them to Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen.

"What is it?" Zhao Moqing was pleasantly surprised.

Or perhaps no woman would be unhappy to receive a gift from her husband?

Qin Lin smiled and said, "I especially prepared a gift for you. Open it and take a look."

Zhao Moqing eagerly opened the gift box and saw an exquisite violet pendant lying inside.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhao Moqing said in surprise.

Qin Lin smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes!" Zhao Moqing nodded happily and said coquettishly, "Help me put it on."

Qin Lin took the Violet Jadeite Pendant with a smile and walked behind Zhao Moqing. He stroked her beautiful hair and placed the pendant on her fair neck.

"Is it nice?" Zhao Moqing asked happily.

Qin Lin nodded and praised, "My wife is naturally beautiful. She looks good with anything."

"Mom is still here!" Zhao Moqing rolled his eyes at Qin Lin.

But Lin Fen was enjoying this scene of the lovey-dovey pair. She just hoped the two of them would be like this forever.

Curious too, she opened the gift box to see what her son had given her.

The gift box contained an exquisite jade bracelet.

That pleased her.

She had once had a jade bracelet too. Her son's father had bought it for her on her anniversary, but he had sold it at a loss.

"Xiao Lin, this bracelet has such a good color. It's not cheap, is it?" Lin Fen asked the question that old people cared about.

Qin Lin didn't hide anything and explained, "This pendant and bracelet are custom-made from Violet Jadeite and Flower-Green Jade. They both cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan!"

"That's expensive." Lin Fen was clearly shocked.

Zhao Moqing subconsciously touched the pendant and took it off before putting it back into the gift box.

She had never worn such expensive jewelry before.

With a pendant worth more than 50,000 yuan around his neck, wouldn't his heart ache if it was stolen?

Qin Lin asked, "Why did you take it off again?"

Zhao Moqing said, "It's so expensive. It's too eye-catching. It's fine as long as I know I have it."

Qin Lin shook his head and took out the pendant from the gift box. He walked behind Zhao Moqing and put it on for her again. "What's so eye-catching about it? Those rich people wear pendants more expensive than this. If you buy a pendant, you wear it. There's only one now. There will be more in the future. Are you going to keep it and let it collect dust?"

Zhao Moqing didn't refuse when she heard Qin Lin's words, and she couldn't hide the happiness on her face.

Lin Fen stuffed the gift box with the bracelet into Qin Lin's hands. "Xiao Lin, give this to Moqing's mother later. Chen Xiao has raised such a good daughter-in-law for our family. She has already forgiven you for what you did previously. She even wants to give you 300,000 yuan to buy a house. You have to be filial to her in the future."

"Mom, is your son a heartless person?" Qin Lin smiled and took out another box from the car. Inside was another Flower-Green Jade bracelet.

When Zhao Moqing saw that Qin Lin had even prepared a gift for her mother, she felt tears at the corners of her eyes.

That was touching.

She immediately turned to her mother. "I'll put the bracelet on for you, Mom."

A moment later.

The three of them got into the car.

Qin Lin brought his mother and Zhao Moqing to the central square. The two elders had agreed to meet there. Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, they went shopping together.

After finally finding a parking space, Lin Fen called Chen Xiao and hung up. "Moqing, your mother is over there."

Chen Xiao also brought Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen with her.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Zhao Moqing asked.

Chen Xiao explained, "He's been having a meeting in school since the afternoon. It seems that Liao Province has demoted English to a secondary subject, and Shanghai has also announced that they will be demoting English to a secondary subject. Therefore, the schools in other places have no choice but to take this issue seriously. The provincial education bureau has requested for schools from all over the country to hold a meeting to discuss it and finally give their opinions."

"English has been downgraded?" Zhao Moqing said in surprise.

Qin Lin was also a little surprised because English had made him suffer a lot back then.

English has always been one of the topics of public debate. Many people felt that they had started learning English in elementary school, and by the time they graduated from university, it would take too much time to go back up. However, once they were out in society, many people would not need a single sentence in their entire lives. They would basically forget about it for three to five years.

Naturally, there were also many people who said that in university, many papers or postgraduate papers were basically in English. English was only Grade 4 or 6. It was like reading a book. English was still very useful.

Anyway, they each had their own reasons. It was just like having Christmas or not. They argued very fiercely.

"Moqing, you're finally here." Li Jiawen smiled and took Zhao Moqing's arm.

At this moment, Qin Lin also handed the gift box in his hand to Chen Xiao and said, "Mom, this is your gift."

"You bought me a gift?" Chen Xiao looked surprised. She opened it and saw the bracelet inside. "Is this a jade bracelet?"

Zhao Moqing explained, "Mom, Qin Lin said that this is jadeite. It costs more than 50,000 yuan."

"It's so expensive?" Chen Xiao was also shocked. He immediately looked at Lin Fen, then quickly returned the gift box to Qin Lin and said earnestly, "In the future, when you buy such things, give them to your mother first. As long as you treat Moqing well, I'll be very happy."

Qin Lin was stunned.

This mother and mother-in-law…

Lin Fen stepped forward with a smile and held Chen Xiao's arm. She showed her left hand to her. "Take the one Xiao Lin bought for you. I have one too. It's identical."

Then she added, "I'll put it on for you."

Only then did Chen Xiao not refuse, her face filled with joy.

Anyone would be happy to see their son-in-law so filial.

"Isn't it the same?" Lin Fen helped Chen Xiao put it on and even reached out to compare it with the one on Chen Xiao's wrist.

"Yes, it should have been polished from the same raw material." Chen Xiao nodded. As she spoke, she suddenly waved her left hand with the bracelet at Zhao Moyun. "Sigh, the bracelet given by my son-in-law is very nice. I realize that it's better to raise a daughter and find a good son-in-law."

"…" Zhao Moyun suddenly opened his mouth.

How could he not know that his mother was talking about him? But didn't he give her apples and flowers? He didn't forget his mother after getting married.

Besides, wasn't it always like this in previous years?

At this moment, Li Jiawen, who was beside her, said enviously, "Made of Violet Jadeite? Moqing, your pendant is so beautiful. Your brother is also a man, but he only knows how to send apples and flowers every year. He doesn't know how to be sentimental at all."

"…" Zhao Moyun.

Didn't she hug and kiss him happily just now and even posted his gift on her Moments? She said that the greatest happiness in her life was to find a husband who loved her.

In the end, he could only look at Qin Lin bitterly.

He didn't think he'd have an easy night home. It looked like he'd have to buy two presents to make up for Christmas tomorrow.

It was so hard on men.

…

The next day.

It was noticeably colder.

Qin Lin couldn't bear to get up early in the morning. He hugged Zhao Moqing and dawdled for a while before picking the mature crops in the game. Then, he went to the warehouse to move everything out of the game and shipped them to the villa.

When he arrived at the villa and asked Chen Dabei to bring people to unload the goods, he received a message from Senior Brother Chu. It was a drafted investment agreement and a sentence from Senior Brother Chu. "The most important thing about this kind of investment is the equity issue. I've saved two loopholes and backup plans for you. You can guard against the other party and take the initiative when necessary."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu," Qin Lin replied.

Senior Brother Chu said, "If you want to thank me, wait for me to go to your villa and entertain me."

Qin Lin returned to the hall and was about to print out the investment agreement when he saw Gao Yaoyao and the cashier girl feeding Red Hair pine nuts at the bar. The cashier girl was even combing Red Hair's tail with a small comb.

As expected, it would lead an exquisite life. It even had two girls to serve him. As its master, he did not have such luck.

Seeing that Qin Lin had arrived, Gao Yaoyao said happily, "Boss, Red Hair and those squirrels became popular again today."

Qin Lin knew that it must be Douyin. He took out his phone and saw that there was indeed a video of the squirrels from Qinglin Villa on the trending searches.

"I really admire the boss of Qinglin Villa. He actually trained the little squirrels to be so smart…"

"Can you believe it? The little squirrels are all dressed up, and they even know how to pack pine nuts…"

"…"

The videos were all of Red Hair with a couple of little squirrels in clothes.

In these videos, the actions of these little squirrels wearing clothes and picking up the pine nuts fed by the tourists and putting them into their bags were really too eye-catching. The popularity also exceeded the long legs of the coquettish person Douyin wanted to support.

Qin Lin couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that everyone was becoming more reasonable about online beauties. This coquettish beauty was even worse than a few squirrels.

This made him think of something. In the future, there would be many animals when this ranch opened. There would be no lack of villa animals.

Now that the squirrels were on fire, he could try to tame these wild squirrels.

Chapter 122

As Qin Lin thought about it, he looked at the screen in his mind and controlled his game character to go to the pet merchant to see if there was anything that could help train the little squirrel.

After finding the pet merchant, Qin Lin opened the list and found something that was helpful to him.

Squirrel House.

Little squirrels had actually long become one of the family pets. Its adorable appearance was very popular.

Therefore, Squirrel House was also one of the most popular pet sellers. However, most of them were in bamboo baskets in reality.

Only those squirrel ecological parks would build simulated squirrel homes for squirrels, which were made into the shape of trees.

However, only the squirrels raised in the ecological park would live in such a home. Wild squirrels would not.

In the game, the Squirrel House sold by the pet merchants had the simulated tree shape of the Squirrel Ecological Garden.

This kind of Squirrel House could be installed by digging a pit and burying the lower part.

[Squirrel House: Quality 2]

...

[This is a pet item specially sold by pet merchants. There is a food storage room specially prepared for small squirrels. It is very liked by small squirrels and is easy for the owner to clean up.]

[The space can house five small squirrels. The effect of living with small squirrels: Attraction +2, Safety +2, Pleasure +2, Cold Resistance +2, Infiltration +2.]

When Qin Lin saw the attributes of Attraction +2, Safety +2, Pleasure +2, and Cold Resistance +2, he felt that there was hope for those squirrels to truly become members of the scenic area.

After all, there was still Red Hair.

Merging into the environment should be the meaning of simulation. Those ecological parks could make the Squirrel House extremely realistic. Merging into the forest made it impossible to tell the authenticity without looking.

Moreover, the attributes of his game would definitely be stronger.

Qin Lin thought for a moment. There were about a dozen squirrels around the three Quality 3 triangular plums, probably no more than 15.

A few of them had already been taken in as lackeys by Red Hair. They were now civilized rats with clothes and bags. The others might be relatively stupid. He wondered if Red Hair could handle them too.

In that case, he would have to buy three more Squirrel Houses.

After Qin Lin bought the Squirrel House and sent it back to the ranch, he returned to his senses from the game. Then, he headed to the parking lot and drove the truck to the warehouse.

When he arrived at the warehouse, the first thing he saw when he entered the game was the three simulated Squirrel Houses placed in front of the game house.

It was all withered branches, about 1.5 meters tall and half a meter wide.

Qin Lin went forward and touched one of the Squirrel Houses. With a thought, he brought the Squirrel House out of the game and appeared in the truck.

After moving the three squirrel houses out of reality, he started the truck and drove to the villa. At the same time, he called Chen Dabei and asked him to wait with the cart for unloading.

The truck could not drive into the villa, so it could only be moved in manually.

As soon as the truck stopped, Chen Dabei walked forward with a few security guards. "Boss, what did you bring back this time?"

"I bought a Squirrel House. Ship it to the Sea of Flowers while there aren't many tourists," Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded and called for a few security guards to start working.

After Chen Dabei brought his men down from Squirrel House, Qin Lin followed them to the Sea of Flowers.

There were not many tourists in the Sea of Flowers, but the squirrels had already arrived.

Red Hair had already led a few of its underlings, who were wearing clothes, to run among the three triangular plum trees.

When it saw Chen Dabei installing the Squirrel Home, it immediately scurried down to Qin Lin's shoulder.

It probably knew what this Squirrel Home was.

As soon as the first Squirrel House was installed, it scurried to it and crawled through a hole.

This sight caught the attention of the other squirrels.

A moment later, Red Hair emerged from another opening. It squeaked as if to express its joy. Finally, two squirrels in tiny clothes leaped tentatively down onto the Squirrel House.

Seeing Red Hair crawling around the Squirrel Home, the two of them finally crawled into a hole.

Then, the two squirrels also squeaked and followed Red Hair between the holes, as if they were playing.

This scene made Qin Lin smile. As expected of a game product.

He supervised Chen Dabei and the others to place the Squirrel Home beside the three Quality 3 triangular plum trees. They tried their best to cover the Squirrel House with the dense branches.

In that case, the three Squirrel Houses would not seem out of place. Coupled with the fact that they had integrated into the environment and had the +2 attribute, the tourists should not pay too much attention to the Squirrel Houses under the attraction of the three Quality 3 triangular plum trees.

Qin Lin waited at the side. Soon, two female tourists appeared and arrived at the central area.

The first thing they did was run towards the three Quality 3 triangular plum trees.

'There really are little squirrels with clothes.'

"Hurry up and give them the pine nuts. See if they really know how to put them in a bag."

"…"

Clearly, these two girls must have seen the video and specially came to film the squirrel.

It was also very likely that they were natives of Youcheng County who could come at this early hour.

Moreover, as Qin Lin had expected, the two girls were so happy filming the squirrels that they did not notice the additional Squirrel Houses under the triangular plum branches.

"Check on these squirrels tonight." Qin Lin observed for a while and instructed Chen Dabei.

Previously, the squirrels would leave at night. Now that he had these three Squirrel Houses, he wondered if the squirrels would stay.

Chapter 123

On the other hand, if these little squirrels stayed, they would really belong to the villa. Should he hire a pet breeder and vet?

After all, squirrels also needed to take off their clothes often to comb their fur. Otherwise, it was easy for problems to arise.

The ranch at the villa was also gradually being built. When the game ranch opened, there would be a lot of animals.

With that in mind, Qin Lin took out his phone and logged into the recruitment form. He chose Youcheng County to recruit veterinarians and breeders.

Not long after returning to the hall, Zhou Chengjun arrived with the old man. Naturally, the old man also had to sign the contract. After all, he was the owner of the formula.

Qin Lin smiled and welcomed him. "Old Master, we meet again."

"Boss Qin, I've really troubled you this time. You really think highly of my skills." The old man was in a good mood. It was probably because his grandson finally wanted to learn his skills. As for how his grandson wanted to use this skill, he didn't care. Even if this formula belonged to the company that invested in it and 51% of the ownership would belong to someone else.

At least his side had passed on the craft, not cut off the generation here.

Besides, thinking about his grandson, he sighed again. His usually cheerful grandson had secretly cried in the bathroom last night.

He probably knew what it was about. It was a girl from a big city. It was indeed difficult for their small county family to satisfy her.

...

Therefore, he knew that his grandson was also eager for this five million yuan investment.

Qin Lin also summoned Gao Yaoyao and asked her to make two cups of honey water before sitting down.

He looked at Zhou Chengjun in confusion. He felt that the other party seemed to be in a different state from yesterday. There was a haggard look on his face with a hint of maturity.

It was a strange feeling, as if he had suddenly matured after experiencing some storm.

Qin Lin naturally did not know what had happened to Zhou Chengjun.

Besides, many women online said that the easiest way for a girl to mature was to fall in love with a scumbag.

Actually, this was the same for boys. A relationship that ended without a hitch might also be the easiest way for boys to mature.

This was the case for Zhou Chengjun.

He did not expect this to happen. He had been working hard for the future for the past few days after his return. He had been filled with anticipation, but everything had changed in the past few days.

He didn't beg or try to win her back. If a few years of affection couldn't even hold on to these few days, then it was all in vain.

Once there was a crack in a relationship, it would be difficult to return to how it was before.

He didn't believe she'd been completely pressured by her parents. Maybe, no amount of long-term affection could outweigh a few days of novelty. No matter how good a relationship was, there was always the fear of facing up to the daily necessities.

"President Qin, I made this sauce myself. Try it." As soon as Zhou Chengjun sat down, he eagerly handed two small bottles of sauce to Qin Lin.

A man did not cry easily. He had cried last night. Enough was enough.

All he wanted now was to succeed and anesthetize himself with success.

Qin Lin more or less felt that something must have happened to Zhou Chengjun, but he did not ask further. He opened the sauce that Zhou Chengjun had made and tasted it.

It tasted good, even better than the old man's cooking.

That was incredible.

"President Qin, how does it taste?" Zhou Chengjun asked expectantly.

"Yes, not bad." Qin Lin nodded.

"Then what about the investment?" Zhou Chengjun was clearly a little nervous at this moment. After all, the five million yuan investment was just a verbal promise from the other party. The other party could go back on his word at any time.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll go back on my word? Wait a moment, I'll print out the investment agreement."

With that, he walked to the bar and printed out the two agreements on the printer. He returned to the table and handed one to Zhou Chengjun. "You can read the agreement carefully and make sure there's no problem. See if you can abide by it, then accept my investment."

"Okay." Zhou Chengjun did not hesitate. He hurriedly took the agreement and read it. Moreover, he read it very seriously, as if he was looking at his future.

Qin Lin did not disturb Zhou Chengjun and said to the old man beside him, "Old Master, try our villa's medicinal honey water."

"President Qin, thank you for thinking so highly of my grandson," the old man said sheepishly.

After all, he had rejected the other party's offer to buy the formula previously. Now, his grandson was begging him for five million yuan.

Actually, Qin Lin did not care about this. Besides, he really did not want such good craftsmanship to be lost. In addition, he had been persuaded by Zhou Chengjun.

However, the old man's gratitude was on his face. He now knew from his family how successful the young man in front of him was. He was a big shot in Youcheng County.

Such a person was willing to take care of his grandson and invest five million yuan in him. No matter what, he was a great benefactor and also his grandson's benefactor.

The old man's mind was that simple.

After some time, Zhou Chengjun finished reading the investment agreement. Actually, seeing that the two conditions he had raised yesterday were met, he said decisively, "President Qin, let's sign it."

"Sure!" Qin Lin smiled and took out a pen to sign both documents.

Zhou Chengjun was even more decisive. After signing, he even asked his grandfather to sign.

After the old man signed, Zhou Chengjun heaved a long sigh of relief and said solemnly to Qin Lin, "President Qin, thank you."

Qin Lin also smiled and invited, "Let's have lunch at the villa. I'll treat you guys to wild food."

Chapter 124

"Thank you, President Qin." Zhou Chengjun thanked him again.

Not long after, Chen Li arrived. When he saw the contract in Zhou Chengjun's hand, he smiled and said, "Boss Qin, have you signed the contract? Looks like our Youcheng County is going to produce another product with potential?"

"Chief Chen, take a seat." Qin Lin welcomed Chen Li over and sat down. He did not forget to introduce him to Zhou Chengjun's grandfather and grandson. "This is the director of the county's Tourism Bureau, Chief Chen."

Zhou Chengjun and the old man hurriedly greeted Chen Li respectfully.

To ordinary people, a chief was already a big deal.

"Chief Chen, stay for lunch. I'll get the kitchen to make a bowl of dumplings. Why don't you try the sauce?" Qin Lin knew that Chen Li had come over to inquire about the sauce, so he invited him with a smile.

He even wondered if there was a way for Zhou Chengjun to get a corporate guidance fund from the county. After all, this sauce was also a recipe of Quality 1. The prospects were definitely good.

"Sure." Surprisingly, Chen Li did not refuse.

At noon, Qin Lin asked Master Lin to kill a wild big fish to entertain Zhou Chengjun, his grandfather, and Chen Li.

The fish was delicious, and Zhou Chengjun and the old man were full of praise.

...

However, Chen Li was not lucky. He only paid attention to the dipping sauce and was full after eating the dumplings. After his meal, he left in a hurry with a bottle of sauce.

Qin Lin also said to Zhou Chengjun, "The first sum of money will be transferred to your account in a few days. Now, you can go to the factory and make preparations. I won't interfere with how you operate, but you have to let me see the results."

"President Qin, I won't disappoint you." Zhou Chengjun promised Qin Lin before leaving the villa with his grandfather.

Afternoon.

Qin Lin handed the investment agreement to Zhao Moqing and asked her to put it away. When he had nothing to do, he controlled the game character to go to the Spring Mine to mine and see if he could dig some more jade ores.

After all, it will be New Year's Day in a few days. There would be Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Zhao Moqing's birthday, and his mother's birthday in the future. There would be many days to give them presents.

…

The county.

Chen Li quickly carried a bowl of dumplings and a bottle of sauce to the office.

This attracted the attention of many of the staff, who wondered what the chief was up to.

After Chen Li entered the office, the people inside also put down their pens and documents. They cleared the table in front of them and asked Chen Li to put down the dumplings and sauce.

Chen Li smiled and said, "Sun Xian, I have to say that this sauce is really good. It tastes even better than Lao Gan Ma."

Sun Xian picked up his chopsticks, picked up the dumplings, dipped some sauce into them, and put them in his mouth. Then a second and a third.

After eating three in a row, he sighed and said, "It does taste very good. It's a pity that it's only been discovered now. We've missed the best time for such products to develop."

Chen Li nodded and said, "Indeed, this kind of product is like a huge mountain that occupies almost the entire market. However, the fact that there's this sauce today means that our Youcheng County has something good. It's just that we haven't discovered it yet, but Boss Qin has."

Sun Xian smiled and said, "Human success is not a coincidence. The restaurant has been in Shui Nan for decades, and so many people have eaten it. How was Boss Qin the one to discover the value of this sauce? This is why Boss Qin can succeed."

Chen Li smiled and said, "That's true. Everyone on the Internet feels that they were born at the wrong time. They envy others for having good opportunities, but if they were to take the helm, their companies might not be able to survive those few cold winters on the Internet. Should the county support this sauce?"

This made Sun Xian frown. He thought for a moment before saying, "Let's take a look first. Zhou Chengjun is just an intern. After all, he's not Boss Qin. We have to inspect him."

Chen Li nodded.

If the management rights of this sauce were with Boss Qin, the county would definitely support it decisively.

However, Zhou Chengjun was not Boss Qin after all.

Chapter 125

Qin Lin controlled his game character to the Spring Mine. He was unlucky today. He smashed the rocks with his hammer and dug a large area. Other than gold, silver, and copper, he did not obtain any jade ores.

After digging for a moment, he received a game notification. The eels that had previously been cultivated were mature.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to return to the ranch and go to the Level 2 paddy field to harvest the loach that he had prepared for farming. Then, he controlled his game character to buy some loach seedlings and placed them in the Level 2 paddy field for farming. He had not forgotten what he had promised Chen Li.

The loach was very effective in replenishing blood. With the game attribute enhancement, it should be even better.

When he was done, he found an empty spot and entered the game. He went to the storage room and saw the message:

[Eel: Quality 1 (50 catties)]

[This is a delicious ingredient that Southerners like very much. It is also the leader of Southern nutrition. It is game-raised, parasite-free, and pollution-free. Taste +1, chewiness +1, freshness +1, nourishment +1, spleen-nourishing +1, liver-nourishing +1, energy-nourishing +1, metabolism +1, blood sugar reduction +1.]

[Eel: Quality 2 (6 catties)]

[This is a delicious ingredient that Southerners like very much. It is also the leader of Southern nutrition. It is game-raised, parasite-free, and pollution-free. Taste +2, chewiness +2, freshness +2, nourishment +2, healthy spleen and stomach +2, liver-nourishing and liver-protecting +2, energy-nourishing and qi-boosting +2, improved metabolism +2, reduced blood sugar regulation +2.]

Qin Lin looked at the note and finally understood why this eel was called the leader of nutrition.

This effect was really too much.

The key was that it was parasite-free and pollution-free. It was reassuring to eat them.

Normal eels that weighed 0.5 catty were already very heavy, but this Quality 1 eel was one catty. It looked like a snake.

...

A catty of this size was more than 50 yuan on the market, and with this Quality 1 effect, it could not even be bought for 100 yuan a catty.

Then he looked at the Quality 2 eel.

There were only two of them, which meant that one was three catties.

Those who did not know would probably be surprised. They would really think that it was a big snake.

Qin Lin immediately logged out of the game and pretended to drive out of the villa with two woven bags. It was impossible to take out so many catties of eel directly in the villa. It would easily arouse suspicion.

He simply drove to the warehouse and found an empty spot to enter the game. Then he put all the eels into the two woven bags.

Because he had eaten a fruit of the Tree of Strength he could easily carry more than 50 catties of eel in his hand.

Only then did Qin Lin exit the game and drive back to the villa.

The afternoon was more leisurely.

There weren't many customers in the lobby, either.

When Chen Dabei saw him carrying two bags in, he went forward and asked, "Boss, do you need help?"

"Pour the eel in this bag into the fish pond. Tell Gao Yaoyao that it was caught from an old field in the countryside. The price is 200 yuan a catty." Qin Lin also handed the 50 catties of eel to Chen Dabei.

When Chen Dabei saw how relaxed Qin Lin was, he didn't mind and reached out to lift it. However, when he took it, he felt his hand sink and the bag fell to the ground.

If an ordinary person did not prepare to hold something weighing more than 50 catties, it would be difficult for them to catch it with one hand.

Chen Dabei was shocked.

So heavy?

Just now, Boss Qin came in with one hand and looked relaxed.

How strong must Boss Qin be?

This was something he hadn't really expected.

Chen Dabei lifted the bag and went to the fish pond. He opened the woven bag and poured the eels into the fish pond.

He was obviously surprised to see the size of the eels. Each of them was huge and slippery. One of them had crawled out of the bag and flipped on the ground, darting around desperately.

"Snake…" A girl's panicked shout sounded.

The eel crawled to her, and she mistook it for a snake.

The girl's exclamation startled the other tourists in the hall. They all looked over and stepped back in fear when they saw the big eels.

Chen Dabei hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, it's not a snake. It's an eel. It's just a little big. jaundice is a good tonic. Besides, it was caught in the old field, so it's even more nourishing."

With that, Chen Dabei reached out and grabbed the eel. However, it was too slippery and broke free. Fortunately, he shook his hand and the eel fell into the fish pool.

The tourists were relieved to see this. Then, they all gathered around curiously.

Everyone knew about eels and how nourishing they were.

"How much is this eel?" the frightened female tourist asked first.

Chen Dabei explained, "This old field's big eel costs 200 yuan per catty. There's not many of it. If everyone wants to eat it tonight, you have to buy it earlier."

200 yuan a catty sounded a little expensive, but after so long, everyone knew that some things in Qinglin Villa were better than those outside, so they were eager to try.

This was the effect of reputation and word of mouth.

…

In the kitchen.

Master Lin also became idle in the afternoon.

Other than preparing meals and being busy in the kitchen, he was free as the head chef.

From a cabinet, he took out a bottle of Youcheng County rice wine. It was dark red, not recognizable, but rather the color of Coke.

Many people would also tease Youcheng County rice wine as Youcheng County Coke at the wine table.

Therefore, when people asked you if you wanted to drink Coke during a joyous occasion and poured you a bowl, they might just want you to drink a bowl of rice wine. Many foreigners who came to Youcheng County to drink often fell into the trap and were directly knocked out.

After all, when the wine reached the bowl, everyone hooted and had to drink.

Chapter 126

Master Lin walked forward and opened the lid of the pot, revealing the conch inside.

After eating the conches brought by the boss last time, he had been craving them, so he asked his son to go to his house to get some from the old field. His son had sent them to him this morning. Now, he could take this opportunity to satisfy his hunger with some wine.

Master Lin plated the conches and sat down. He poured himself a small glass of wine, then picked one up and took a sip. But he had just chewed when he frowned. "That's not right. Why is it so different from the ones the boss bought?"

He picked up another and slipped it into his mouth. Then a second, but his frown deepened.

The taste and texture were completely different.

As the saying went, the greater the anticipation, the greater the disappointment. Master Lin frowned.

He had been craving it all day. It was not easy for him to get some wine at this time, but he suddenly realized that he had wasted his time. He had lost all interest.

"Master Lin, you're in a good mood!" At this moment, Qin Lin walked in with two Quality 2 eel.

Master Lin put away his disappointed expression and asked Qin Lin, "Boss, what good stuff did you buy this time?"

Qin Lin handed a woven bag containing two Quality 2 eel to Master Lin and said, "Master Lin, help me kill one of these eels to satisfy my cravings tonight."

Master Lin took the woven bag and opened it. He couldn't help but say in surprise, "Boss, it's such a big eel. It's top-grade. Where did you get it?"

...

Two eels of three catties tangled together like two long, hideous snakes.

Qin Lin made it up. "I bought it at the market. Remember to fry it with wine. That's classic."

"Alright, Boss." Master Lin nodded when he heard the instructions. After Qin Lin went out again, he sat down again and picked up a conch. It was really boring.

Could it be that this son of his casually bought some artificially bred ones from the market to fool him?

At the thought of this, Master Lin was no longer in the mood to drink. He simply stood up and placed the two eels in the fish pond that was specially prepared for the kitchen.

When it was time to cook for the employees in the evening, the three kitchen chefs got busy. Master Lin grabbed another piece of eel and started to deal with it with a knife.

Small eels were relatively difficult to deal with. There would be some residue no matter how the internal organs were handled. This three-catty eel was easier to handle.

After killing the eel, Master Lin cut the meat and began to boil the pot and pour the oil.

There were many ways to cook eel. Braising it was one of the most common methods in the countryside. This was because eel had a fishy smell and required cooking wine to remove the taste. After cooking wine entered the taste, it could make the eel meat carry a strong fragrance.

Soon, a strong fragrance wafted out of the pot.

Master Lin picked up a piece of braised meat with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth to test the food. As he chewed, he felt a delicious taste appear in his mouth. The taste was too good, and the chewiness was perfect.

Master Lin subconsciously picked up his chopsticks and put another piece of meat into his mouth.

This really made it impossible to stop eating.

Looking at the braised meat in the pot made him hungry again.

After becoming a chef, no one planted the fields at home anymore. However, it had been a long time since he had eaten the conches caught by the old field. He had forgotten the taste of it when he was young, but he did not expect it to be so delicious.

He decided to call his son-in-law later and ask him to catch eels in the old field. If he couldn't catch one this big, he could catch something smaller.

That bastard son could not be counted on. Those conches had made him look forward to it for nothing.

The Quality 2 eel was indeed different from the Quality 2 conch.

When Qin Lin ate, he couldn't help but take out some medicinal wine and drink a little.

Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing praised it repeatedly after eating.

The two women realized that they were enjoying their food more and more. Qin Lin could always get so much delicious food.

However, they did not think too much about it. They only felt that the villa had become popular and became a channel, so he had more access to such things. Weren't there still so many fish ponds selling eel outside?

Perhaps there was really a huge difference between delicacies and simple meals.

They felt that they were eating delicacies now.

In the hall, the tourists gradually began to eat. The kitchen was thoroughly busy. There were obviously a lot of guests ordering eel today.

Most tourists would definitely not let go of something so nourishing.

Almost all 50 catties of eel had been ordered.

The apprentice, Lin Bin, had a pile of eel in front of him. He was going to kill all the eels today.

Naturally, Master Lin was the happiest with more than 50 catties of eel.

He had to try every dish out of the pot, didn't he?

Although the taste was not as delicious as the boss's own, it was definitely delicious.

As long as his son-in-law caught some eel of this level, he would enjoy it with some wine.

Master Lin began to look forward to it again.

After the din of the tourists' dining ended, the villa quickly fell silent.

Without any accommodation, no one would stay even if it was brightly lit. Now that the weather was even colder, even if they liked to play, they wouldn't rent a tent to stay. After all, in this kind of weather, doing that in the tent would freeze their buttocks.

Chen Dabei came to report after the tourists left. "Boss, you asked me to keep an eye on the three Squirrel Houses. A few squirrels didn't leave at night and stayed there."

"Let's go take a look." Qin Lin's eyes lit up as he brought Chen Dabei to the Sea of Flowers.

It seemed the plan to turn wild squirrels into domesticated animals had paid off.

There were lights on the stone path in the Sea of Flowers. At this time, there was still a special peaceful atmosphere in the Sea of Flowers.

Chapter 127

As they reached the center, they heard squeaking.

As soon as Qin Lin stepped forward, Red Hair scuttled towards him and landed in his hand.

Its big furry tail swept his hand.

He could vaguely see a few small squirrels scurrying around in the three Squirrel Houses. Without exception, they were all wearing small clothes.

The others left again and went back.

It seemed that these squirrels were indeed smarter and more adaptable.

This type of squirrel was also easier to tame.

Looking at the few squirrels left behind, Qin Lin felt a sense of accomplishment, even if he didn't tame them.

"Add two more surveillance cameras outside the Sea of Flowers!" Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei.

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded.

Qin Lin walked out while Red Hair stayed in his hand. Then, it pulled out a pine nut from its small bag and bit it.

...

Qin Lin looked at the little fellow and thought about its note. The little fellow was very intelligent. It could bring those wild squirrels to ask for clothes and even bring them to live in the Squirrel Houses, proving this point.

So that gave him some more ideas.

Previously, he had seen a zoo online where elephants would pick up trash and throw it into the trash can. Everyone had commented that it was so cute and that humans were not as good as an elephant…

What if all the squirrels in his scenic area learned it? It would definitely attract a lot of attention and add to the popularity of the villa.

Not to mention most of the tourists, there were still a small number of tourists who occasionally dropped their napkins and tickets in the Sea of Flowers.

He was not a pet trainer and did not have the ability to train squirrels. Therefore, he could only rely on Red Hair.

If he could teach Red Hair, it might be able to lead the other little squirrels.

After returning to the hall, Qin Lin also left the villa with Zhao Moqing and his mother.

In the car.

Wang Cai whined unhappily.

Red Hair was plucking at the fur on its head.

However, other than barking in dissatisfaction, Wang Cai did not resist at all. The fellow on its head was too agile. Every time it tried to resist, it would be berated by its three masters.

Back home.

Qin Lin grabbed Red Hair and went to the sofa in the hall. He waved a tissue in front of Red Hair and even pulled the trash can to the side of the sofa. "Look, you can't throw the trash on the ground. You have to throw it into the trash can. The Sea of Flowers… Well, it's where a lot of flowers are. If there's paper on the ground, remember to pick it up and throw it into the trash can."

Qin Lin felt like a fool for saying this to a little squirrel.

When Zhao Moqing came out and saw this scene, he couldn't help but tease, "Qin Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Fen smiled when she saw this scene. She also felt that her son's actions were too unreliable.

It was just a squirrel.

Qin Lin explained awkwardly, "I'm just training Red Hair's skills?"

Zhao Moqing smiled and said, "If pets are so easy to train, won't those pet trainers lose their jobs? Red Hair is already very smart, okay? Don't torture it."

Qin Lin still wanted to continue. Wasn't it easy to teach a squirrel with high intelligence?

Didn't those genius students self-study and score 100 points without the help of a teacher? It should be able to learn to pick up trash by itself.

He shook the tissue at Red Hair, then crumpled it into a small ball and dropped it to the floor.

An incredible thing happened.

Red Hair scuttled straight down, grabbed the wad of tissue, and crawled back to the couch. Then it dropped the wad into the trash can.

"…" Qin Lin.

"…" Zhao Moqing.

"…" Lin Fen.

Both women looked surprised at the sight.

Red Hair, on the other hand, squeaked at Qin Lin. It didn't know if it should say that it was too easy or ask for credit.

Chapter 128

Zhao Moqing looked at Red Hair's actions and eagerly took out a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground.

Red Hair scurried out again and picked up the ball of paper. He scurried onto the sofa and threw it into a nearby trash can.

Zhao Moqing was so excited that he almost jumped up. "Qin Lin, it's too smart. It actually really understood."

Indeed, Red Hair's cleverness was unexpected.

Qin Lin now knew what the note meant by 'very intelligent'.

After teasing Red Hair for a while, Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing returned to their room. He told Zhao Moqing about Chen Li's request. Chen Xiaoru would come to the villa. If he wasn't around, he would ask Zhao Moqing to help entertain her.

…

The next day.

Qin Lin woke up and looked at the game in his mind. He picked all the ripe crops in the morning and headed to the warehouse as usual.

Red Hair had followed him when he left, and the dog was not to be left behind.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Qin Lin entered the game.

There were a few more things than usual today.

[Mudfish: Quality 1 (35 catties)]

...

[This is a delicious ingredient that Southerners like very much. Taste +1, delicious +1, nourishing spleen and kidney +1, hydrating and reducing swelling +1, nourishing blood and nourishing qi +1.]

[Spinach: Quality 1 (40 catties)]

[This is a common delicious ingredient with many effects: Yin-nourishing +1, constipation prevention +1, clear and warm intestines +1.]

[Carrot: Quality 1 (55 catties)]

[This is a vegetable with very high vitamins. It nourishes the blood and qi +1, helps the liver and eyes +1, and cleans the intestines +1.]

This was something he had obtained from the Level 1 and Level 2 paddy fields. It could replenish blood.

None of them were of Quality 2.

He would get Master Lin to make some of these for Chen Xiaoru and sell the rest at the villa.

Moreover, he had specially brought out 20 catties of Quality 2 okra today.

This Quality 2 okra had to appear from time to time.

Qin Lin moved everything out of the game and sent them to the villa.

As soon as Red Hair arrived at the villa, it rushed towards the Sea of Flowers to look for its underling.

The dog followed him into the hall.

Although the weather was getting colder, the enthusiasm for travel would not diminish much.

This was because travel was a way to release stress. It was the best way to empty one's mind and heal oneself. It was also a way for a couple's relationship to heat up rapidly.

How many men and women got their way in tourist hotels?

The villa quickly became lively.

A taxi pulled up at the entrance to the villa. New visitors had arrived.

Xiao Zhuang got out of the car with his female friend, Xiao Fang, whom he had not completely confirmed his relationship with.

It was the first time he'd chased a girl, and he didn't know how to suggest moving on to the next step. One of his buddies, who'd switched girlfriends a number of times, had given him the idea of going on a trip. Only one room had been left when he'd tried to book. However, it was out of town…

Therefore, when he saw that Xiao Fang liked the Sea of Flowers in Qinglin Villa, he decisively brought her over.

Xiao Fang got out of the car and said in surprise, "There are so many tourists this early in the morning. Qinglin Villa is really popular."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhuang quickly nodded in agreement.

They walked into the villa.

As soon as Xiao Fang entered the villa, she looked at the sales center. "That's where the medicinal honey water is sold."

Xiao Zhuang naturally knew that the medicinal honey water in Qinglin Villa was very popular. He generously spent 200 yuan to buy two large cups.

Xiao Fang took two sips and was pleasantly surprised. "Yes, this medicinal honey water is really delicious."

Xiao Zhuang nodded. It really lived up to its reputation. Then, he asked Xiao Fang, "Do you want to buy some strawberries? I heard that the strawberries here are very delicious."

"Sure." Xiao Fang nodded.

The two of them walked toward the area of the sales center for special breeds.

Quality 1 and 2 fruits and vegetables were all here.

As soon as he got close, he saw the sales counter selling strawberries.

The two of them walked over. As Xiao Fang picked out more strawberries, Xiao Zhuang's gaze was involuntarily attracted to a sales counter in front of them.

There were only a few okra on the sales counter. The sign said that the special variety of okra cost 400 yuan per catty.

Xiao Zhuang seemed to recall a legend from the villa.

Qinglin Villa used to sell a special variety of okra that cost 400 yuan per catty. That thing was a man's blessing and was very effective. There was even a rich second-generation heir who ate this okra and had too much fun with his two female friends and was reported.

This legend was also mentioned by many people in the video comments section of the official account of Qinglin Villa.

It was just that this kind of okra was very rare. Now, it is almost extinct in the villa.

Xiao Zhuang did not expect to see it here. Thinking of his special purpose this time, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Fang beside him.

When he encountered such a legendary thing, he was naturally eager to try. However, he was afraid that if he bought it, Xiao Fang would know that he had brought her here for a special purpose.

"Wow, 400 catties of okra." A couple suddenly ran over. The woman said slyly, "Honey, you're in luck today. I wonder if this thing is really that powerful."

"If I'm blessed, doesn't that mean you're blessed?" The man decisively picked up the bag and put it away.

Clearly, more than one tourist had discovered it. In the blink of an eye, two more pairs of tourists had discovered it. How could they let go of something they had only heard of?

In the blink of an eye, the 400 yuan per catty of okra was gone.

Xiao Zhuang was getting anxious.

This was immediately gone.

At this moment, he turned around and was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Fang had walked to the other side to look at the fruits and did not notice him at all.

Chapter 129

How could he let go of this opportunity? He hurriedly went to pick up the bag to store the remaining okra, but he didn't know that Xiao Fang was already looking at him with the corners of her mouth curled up.

Xiao Zhuang hurriedly took the bag, put the rest of the okra into it, and walked over to Xiao Fang as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Fang casually glanced at the bag and then at Xiao Zhuang, who looked like he was afraid she would notice.

Had she picked up a bargain?

He was such an innocent man?

Has he never had a girlfriend?

Xiao Zhuang naturally did not know what Xiao Fang was thinking. After paying the bill, he played jungle adventure and slippery grass before heading to the most important Sea of Flowers.

At this moment, he also remembered his good friend's words. After playing one or two projects during the trip, it was time to make a move. At this time, the woman would not resist much.

He pretended to casually put his arm around Xiao Fang's waist.

Seeing that Xiao Fang did not resist, he was immediately tempted.

His friends were right about being decisive.

...

The two of them quickly entered the Sea of Flowers. Xiao Zhuang had to admit that the Sea of Flowers was beautiful. If Xiao Fang wanted to take photos, he would do his best to be a photographer.

"Squirrel." Xiao Fang ran up to a squirrel happily. "It's just as cute as the ones in those videos."

Xiao Zhuang still nodded in agreement, but at that moment, he realized that a squirrel with an especially large tail had run to his feet.

He stepped back instinctively, then watched in surprise as the squirrel squeaked at him with a Sea of Flowers ticket in its claws.

Only then did he realize that he had accidentally dropped the ticket. But then he realized that the squirrel was actually pointing a claw at the trash can beside it when it called out to him. Then it ran to the trash can with the ticket and threw it in.

"F*ck…" Xiao Zhuang couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

Had he been accidentally schooled by a squirrel?

This was bloody embarrassing.

The key was that the squirrels in Qinglin Villa knew how to pick up trash and throw it into the trash can?

That was incredible, wasn't it?

He looked around hurriedly and was relieved to see that the other tourists were not paying attention to him. Otherwise, if one of them took a video, there would probably be news tomorrow that the tourists were being educated by squirrels in the scenic area.

Then he would be notorious.

Most importantly, wasn't the owner of this villa too awesome? How did he train a squirrel to be like this?

Xiao Zhuang looked at Red Hair with curiosity. He tried to take out a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground to see if the squirrel would come and check again.

Unexpectedly, a voice came from the side. "Sir, please don't litter!"

Captain Hong, who was patrolling next to him, frowned at him.

"Ah… well…" Xiao Zhuang said.

It was bloody awkward again.

Xiao Zhuang immediately smiled sheepishly, then picked up the paper and threw it into the trash as quickly as possible.

…

Qin Lin naturally didn't know any of this. He was focused on the game in his mind and once again controlled the game character to go to the Spring Mine to mine. New Year's Day was coming and the gift had to be dug out quickly.

Unfortunately, even after digging through the second level of the Spring Mine, he didn't find any more jade. He still found plenty of copper, silver, and gold ore.

Moreover, he quickly dug up the entrance to the third level.

Qin Lin tried to control the game character to enter the third level. There were no restrictions, which meant that he could still enter the third level and continue digging.

The third floor seemed to give him luck. Not long after he controlled the game character to dig, a notification appeared:

[Congratulations on obtaining yellow jadeite ore: Quality 1]

[This is a yellow jadeite ore that can be sold for gold coins! However, I heard that Sebara of the Forging House has opened a jewelry forging service. You can take a look!]

He finally dug up another jadeite ore.

However, after that, his luck seemed to have run out and he didn't gain anything. After digging through the three-story empty area, Qin Lin had no choice but to give up on mining and control his game character to head to Mount Notre Dame.

Mountain goods were also what he had been looking forward to. After all, they could be soaked in medicinal wine.

Li Qing, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen all had a strong need for this medicinal wine.

Unfortunately, the refresh rate of these mountain goods was too random. There was no fixed time or number of times, and even the number was random.

He had only harvested mountain goods twice in total.

However, he was unlucky in the mine. His luck seemed to have improved again after entering Mount Notre Dame. This time, he was surprised to find that the mountain goods had refreshed again.

Qin Lin didn't stand on ceremony and directly controlled his game character to pick the mountain goods.

[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!]

…

The harvests were myrtle and Cherokee roses again. Their total weight was higher than before, reaching 30 catties.

In other words, a total of 150 catties of medicinal wine could be soaked.

Qin Lin left the villa and went to buy more than 150 catties of 55° white wine and brewing containers. He spent some time brewing the wine and sent it into the game.

There was already a lot of medicinal wine in the game storage room. Including this batch, there were more than 350 catties.

Furthermore, the medicinal wine that had been brewed the first time had been kept in the game. Reality had been around for more than a month. According to the chronology, it had been settled for almost 17 years.

This was already old wine. The price was far more than 5,000 yuan a catty.

He wondered how much this 17-year-old medicinal wine would cost.

He was completely inexperienced in this area.

When Qin Lin exited the game, it was already noon. He drove back to the villa and just as he entered the hall, he saw Zhao Moqing soaking medicinal honey water at the bar counter.

Qin Lin leaned forward with a smile. "You made it for me because you knew I was coming back?"

"This cup isn't for you. If you want it, I'll make it for you later. This cup is for Xiaoru. She's been here for a while. I chatted with her and realized that this little girl is quite interesting." Zhao Moqing walked towards a table with the cup of honey water and saw Chen Xiaoru sitting there in her First Middle School uniform.

Qin Lin also followed. From their previous contact, he felt that Chen Li's daughter was quite interesting.

"Xiaoru, this cup of medicinal honey water is for you." Zhao Moqing handed the cup of medicinal honey water to Chen Xiaoru.

Naturally, this was free.

"Thank you, Sister Moqing." After thanking Zhao Moqing, Chen Xiaoru also saw Qin Lin behind her. She smiled sweetly and greeted, "Uncle Qin."

"…" When Qin Lin heard Chen Xiaoru's greeting, he asked in surprise, "Moqing is Sister Moqing, but I'm Uncle Qin? Do you know that Moqing is my wife?"

Chen Xiaoru nodded seriously and said, "I know. Sister Moqing is Uncle Qin's wife. I'll call you differently. Otherwise, should I call Sister Moqing auntie? Then I'll be calling Sister Moqing old. Uncle Qin, be careful when you go back. Also, if I call you Brother Qin, Sister Moqing might get angry. You still have to kneel on the keyboard."

"…" Qin Lin was helpless.

This young lady's twisted logic sounded quite reasonable. In any case, she wanted to mess up the seniority with Zhao Moqing.

"Pfft!" Zhao Moqing couldn't help but sneer when she saw Qin Lin's defeated expression.

When Qin Lin saw this, he leaned close to Zhao Moqing's ear and said, "Anyway, the seniority is messed up. Why don't you call me uncle?"

"Do you want to die?!" Zhao Moqing reached out and pinched Qin Lin. Uncle? Why didn't he let her call him Daddy?

Thinking of this, Zhao Moqing blushed.

Chen Xiaoru looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "Sister Moqing, Uncle Qin, can you two not flirt in front of a high school student?"

"…" Qin Lin.

"…" Zhao Moqing.

Qin Lin felt that he couldn't afford to offend this little sister. He said that he would go to the kitchen and left.

Only then did Chen Xiaoru quietly ask Zhao Moqing, "Sister Moqing, how did you get to know Uncle Qin? I want to write a love letter to my future stepmother's son. Can you give me some advice?"

"Study hard." Zhao Moqing chose to ignore the girl.

What was a third-year student thinking instead of studying hard? What kind of messy relationship was this?

When Qin Lin returned to the bar, Zhao Moqing couldn't help but say, "Chief Chen's daughter is too jumpy."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Many single-parent children have autism and reverse psychology. It's already not bad that she can remain so cheerful."

Chapter 130

Zhao Moqing nodded.

Chen Xiaoru was indeed cheerful, but she was also a little worried about this little sister's jumpy personality.

She and Qin Lin knew that the young lady had no ill intentions, so they smiled and let it go.

However, when they went to university and went out into society, they would meet all kinds of people. There would always be some narrow-minded people who liked to make a fuss about nothing.

The young lady might have suffered greatly when she encountered such a person.

In the afternoon.

After lunch, Chen Xiaoru played in the villa for a while. When she was about to return to school, she specially found Zhao Moqing and Qin Lin to say goodbye.

In the afternoon.

Qin Lin entered the backyard again and looked at the seeds of his experiment.

At Quality 2, among the lush vines, the green watermelon was already the size of a rubber ball and was about to ripen.

This was slower than he had expected, but not by much. It was definitely far less than the three months of growth needed for a normal watermelon.

...

On the other hand, the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds in the artificial water field announced that the experiment had failed again.

He could only take out the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds that he had brought out of the game previously and soak them in water to disinfect them again. He did not believe that he would not be able to trigger the mutation probability that was suitable for the geographical environment.

After soaking the Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds, Sun Ming walked into the hall and greeted him with a smile. "President Qin, let's go take a look at those projects together. If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, we can fix it. After that, we'll start cleaning up."

With the county's support fund, it had been more than a month since Youcheng County was built. The bridal chamber, dining room, dormitory, and rafting project were almost over.

Qin Lin followed Sun Ming out of the hall and walked towards the construction area.

There was a large divider in the area of the villa and construction to keep visitors from running into the site.

In the future, Qin Lin planned to spread the grass on this quarantine zone and plant all kinds of flowers as ornamental areas. This way, it would be connected to the rest area. When the time came, tourists would sit at the rest table or on the swing. Looking at the green grass and colorful flowers would also be refreshing.

It was how to prevent tourists from stepping on and littering.

Don't doubt it. Sometimes it was useless to even put up a sign that forbade trampling.

When they entered the construction site, Sun Ming gave Qin Lin a safety helmet. The first thing that caught his eye was the restaurant. The main building was made of horizontal wood, bamboo, and a special tiled roof. This was the architectural style that many ecological scenic spots would choose.

Then there was the dormitory not far away.

With more employees, there would be a night shift system after the consummation project was completed. Dormitories were a must.

The dormitory and dining room had also entered the renovation process.

Ahead was the bridal area.

The 150 caves had been built into several areas. There were also different appearances and forms. They were exquisite and complete. They even surrounded an independent courtyard.

At that time, special ornamental plants would be planted between each area.

The consummation material was specially chosen. It was made of soundproof glass and soundproof material.

He couldn't do it without the materials. Otherwise, he'd have to hold a concert every day in this cave. Well, it could be a symphony with the sounds intertwining.

Qin Lin was actually at ease with these projects.

He knew that Sun Ming and Youcheng First Construction Company would not act recklessly. Firstly, the county was keeping a close eye on them. Secondly, the villa was too popular. There were so many tourists. If anything happened, the tourists would post it online and it would definitely be trending.

Sun Ming and Youcheng First Construction Company were the first to be unlucky.

Sun Ming didn't look like he was out of his mind.

Sun Ming brought Qin Lin out of the bridal room and asked, "President Qin, do you want to take a look at the drifting project? Our people have tried it dozens of times and there are no more problems."

"Alright, let's go take a look." Qin Lin smiled.

Sun Ming said, "Then President Qin has to get someone to prepare a set of spare clothes first."

Qin Lin nodded and called Zhao Moqing before going to the new parking lot on the other side with Sun Ming. He got into Sun Ming's car and drove up the mountain.

The road to the top of the hill had been built. It wasn't very wide, but it was wide enough for vehicles to transport visitors. It would also prohibit other vehicles from entering.

To the side of the road was a track that was still under construction and various garden plants were being planted.

It was the county's eco-park project.

That track was naturally a small train track.

When the time came, many tourists would definitely choose to spend money to view the plants while going up the mountain.

Drifting had originally originated with the Eskimo's kayaks and China's bamboo rafts. Back then, it was all about meeting people's needs for life and survival. Now it has gradually evolved into water rafting. Even in winter, there was no shortage of visitors to the various scenic spots.

In fact, there was even a special drifting project in the northern region of China that specialized in winter drift. In the snow and ice in the north, there was still an endless stream of drifting tourists in thick cotton jackets.

The southern drift was just as full of tourists in winter. Besides, the southern drift played a different game in summer than in winter.

The summer water was fierce and powerful. On some swift and exciting slopes, under the impact of the current, the kayak would plunge into the water like a cannonball. It was a thrill to play.

The drifting water in winter was very slow. Even the impact of the slope would not be very strong. In fact, tourists would have to row kayaks themselves for most of the journey. It was controllable, but there was no way to play with water as recklessly as in summer.

Naturally, it was inevitable that water would enter the raft if they played with the rubber rafts. Many people could not accept it in the middle of winter. But for many people, this could not stop a restless heart from wanting to play, especially in the atmosphere of group action and excitement.

Chapter 131

The car drove directly to the drift's starting point, where a small reservoir dam had been built to control the drift's momentum. In winter, the valves would be tightened to try to make the water's momentum as gentle as possible.

Next to it was the preparation area where the kayaks, life jackets, and hard hats were placed. It was naturally empty now, and only the employees of Youcheng First Construction Company were doing the finishing touches.

"President Sun." One of Youcheng First Construction Company's men immediately ran forward when he saw Sun Ming.

Sun Ming also introduced, "This is President Qin of the villa."

"Hello, President Qin." The man from Youcheng First Construction Company immediately greeted him respectfully.

Qin Lin nodded at the other party.

Sun Ming instructed, "Bring out the kayaks, life jackets, and hard hats we've prepared. President Qin and I are going to test the drift personally."

The people from Youcheng First Construction Company immediately went to prepare.

A moment later.

Qin Lin and Sun Ming put on life jackets and hard hats, got into the kayak, and began to drift toward the river.

The river had not been polluted. The water was still relatively clear. It was obvious that many of the angular marks had been artificially removed. Many hidden dangers that could cause danger had been removed.

There were also special ornamental plants standing on both sides of the river. It was a good view.

Sun Ming introduced, "The county has built a small ecological park on this mountain with this drift as its support. These ornamental plants are also provided by the county. By the way, a few filming spots were specially built along the way."

...

Qin Lin nodded. The filming location was arranged for the employees to specially take photos of the tourists or control the drones to take videos. When the time came, they would give the tourists photos and videos in the floating hall. The photos or videos that the tourists liked could be bought with money.

It was also a regular revenue-generating item for the rafting project.

Because of the gentle current, the kayak traveled very slowly. It took them two hours to reach the villa in the evening.

The drift's end point was north of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea. A special platform had been built there, and there was a path that led directly to the showers.

When Qin Lin reached the finish line, his pants were already wet. Overall, he was doing very well.

However, when he moved while playing, especially when he was rowing the kayak, he did not feel cold. Now that he was down, he felt cold.

"President Qin, go to the shower room and take a look. It's working too." Sun Ming only felt the cold shiver when he got off the raft.

Sometimes people's neural responses worked wonders.

When Qin Lin arrived outside the shower, Zhao Moqing was already waiting and helped him get a set of clothes and a towel.

She asked expectantly, "Qin Lin, how's the rafting? There's no problem, right?"

Qin Lin saw through Zhao Moqing's thoughts and took the clothes. "I'll bring you along when it officially opens."

Zhao Moqing snorted. "Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."

Qin Lin nodded and carried the clothes into the shower.

Sun Ming also had an employee from Youcheng First Construction Company help him prepare his clothes.

The shower room wasn't small. It was separated by individual rooms, each with a dedicated showerhead. Under the showerhead were grooves for shampoo and shower gel. Soaps were rarely used. Not only were they not worth it, but they were also prone to slipping. Tourists had trouble picking them up.

Besides, he had to bring his own bath towel and towel for the rafting bath. It would provide a hairdryer, so he had to start preparing these things.

After taking a shower, Sun Ming bade farewell.

Qin Lin also returned to the villa's hall with Zhao Moqing. A girl held a document and looked for Zhao Moqing. "Sister Moqing, this is the account structure document from the new factory. Take a look."

This was a new hire for the finance department.

Zhao Moqing nodded and led her into the bar to read the documents.

The game in Qin Lin's mind also received a notification at this moment. A batch of crops in the evening had ripened.

He looked at the game in his mind and was about to pick it when he looked at the watermelon on the 2 plots of Level 3 land in surprise.

The newly upgraded plot of Level 3 land was also used to plant watermelons of Quality 2. This way, a batch could mature 40 to 50 Quality 2 watermelons.

The sales center could consume about 25 per day now, so he had to stock up on the rest first.

However, after picking the Quality 2 watermelons today, Qin Lin realized that something was wrong. This was because after the watermelons were placed in the storage room, there were two separate watermelons beside the pile of Quality 2 watermelons.

It was of a different quality.

It shouldn't be possible for a Quality 2 seed to grow a Quality 1, right?

The game did not have this setting. It would only grow better. In other words, these were two watermelons of Quality 3?

At the thought of this, Qin Lin quickly found an empty place and entered the game.

As soon as he reached the storage room, he saw two especially different-sized watermelons.

As for how big the two watermelons were, he was shocked. He had never seen watermelons that big in his life.

Qin Lin immediately went up to look at the sign in front of the two watermelons.

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 3 (486 catties)]

[The high-quality watermelons produced by the game have no harmful substances. Be it the texture, taste, or fragrance… They are far superior to ordinary watermelons. They can make you unable to control your taste buds. Delicious +2, sweet +2, taste +2, aftertaste +2, weight +3!]

Sure enough, these were two watermelons of Quality 3.

However, Qin Lin looked at the notes of the two watermelons and was stunned. The notes and the Quality 2 watermelons seemed to be exactly the same. The only difference was that both watermelons had an additional +3 weight attribute.

In other words, these two Quality 3 watermelons only had an additional +3 in volume compared to the Quality 2 watermelons.

Moreover, these two watermelons were indeed very heavy. The two of them weighed a total of 486 catties, and each watermelon weighed more than 240 catties on average.

It had to be known that in the world's Guinness records, the largest watermelon was only about 300 catties.

And the largest watermelon king in China had only broken through 210 catties two years ago. It was obvious how heavy these two watermelons were.

Seeing these two watermelons, Qin Lin had many thoughts.

Apart from the free trial of the medicinal honey water and ketchup, there was no other serious activity at the villa.

These two Quality 3 watermelons could be used for an event.

Just the size of the two watermelons alone was enough to generate a lot of popularity.

With that in mind, Qin Lin exited the game and left the villa. He drove the blue truck straight to the warehouse and entered the game the moment he arrived.

When he reached the storage room, he touched one of the watermelons and brought it out of the game with a thought.

Repeating this, he immediately brought out the second.

Qin Lin fixed the two watermelons before getting into the car and transporting them to the villa.

When he reached the villa parking lot, he called Chen Dabei again and asked him to bring people and a cart over.

When Chen Dabei received the call, he naturally knew that his boss had returned with the goods again and brought them to the parking lot as quickly as possible.

Without Qin Lin's instructions, he got into the car and was about to move the goods. However, when he saw the two big watermelons, he exclaimed, "F*ck… Boss, where did you get this?"

Qin Lin made up a sentence. "I asked someone to buy it for an event. It just arrived."

"It's so big. It's too awesome." Chen Dabei was in disbelief.

He'd eaten a lot of watermelons and seen a lot more, but he'd never seen a watermelon this big in his life.

The other security guards were puzzled. They went up and were surprised to see the big watermelon.

This watermelon was ginormous.

Chapter 132

After Chen Dabei and the security guards were surprised, they started moving the watermelons.

It was really difficult to move watermelons this big. The few of them thought of a few ways and spent a lot of effort to move one down. The key was that the watermelons were too big, and the transport cart could only carry one at a time.

After carrying a large watermelon into the car, the two security guards were responsible for pushing it. They supported the watermelon while Chen Dabei kept reminding them to be careful.

As soon as the cart left the parking lot, it quickly attracted the attention of the tourists. The watermelon was too big to miss.

"They're transporting watermelons?"

"Looks like it!"

Those who saw it looked incredulous.

After transporting a watermelon to the lobby, there were more tourists inside. When they saw the watermelons that the security guards had worked together to move in, they couldn't help but take out their phones and take photos.

They had never seen such a big watermelon in their lives. It was too incredible.

"What a big watermelon!"

"I've never seen a watermelon this big in my life."

...

"I didn't know watermelons could grow so big."

"…"

Chen Dabei carefully supervised the security guards at the side, afraid that they would touch or smash the watermelon.

Zhao Moqing walked out of the bar in surprise.

For the first time, Lin Fen's eyes were drawn.

She was also an old farmer. This was the first time in her life she had seen such a big melon.

Gao Yaoyao had already taken out her phone and started taking photos like the tourists. Such a big watermelon would definitely get a lot of likes.

Zhao Moqing went to Qin Lin's side and asked, "Qin Lin, where did such a big watermelon come from?"

Qin Lin repeated the reason he had made up again and said, "I've contacted them to send us these special night melons."

Zhao Moqing nodded. "It's so big. Is it the black water watermelon from Dian Nan?"

"My wife is really smart." Qin Lin reached out and wrapped his arm around Zhao Moqing's waist. His palm caressed her delicate waist twice without explaining or denying.

Zhao Moqing rolled his eyes at Qin Lin and asked, "How should we deal with this melon?"

Qin Lin explained, "We're planning to use it to gain popularity. The bridal chamber and rafting projects are about to be released. At that time, we don't have to limit the flow of 1,500 people, so we'll first increase the popularity of the villa."

Zhao Moqing nodded. "That's true. The county has given us so much support, and we have to do our best. But how are we going to organize an event for the watermelons? Are we going to draw a lottery?"

Qin Lin smiled. "Moqing, as expected of our telepathy. You and I have thought of the same thing. I'm planning to organize a lucky draw event. They get a single draw for one ticket to the Sea of Flowers. They can draw again when the other expenses hit 50 yuan. Those who win will be given a cup of cubed watermelon for free. When the time comes, with the slogan of the biggest watermelon this year, I believe many tourists want to be one of the winners."

However, Zhao Moqing suggested, "It's too troublesome to cut the melon into cubes. Let's use a fruit spoon. It's more convenient. When the time comes, we can cut the melon on the spot and dig on the spot. The tourists will also feel more involved."

"My wife is so thoughtful." Qin Lin couldn't help but praise her.

"But how will the winner be drawn?" Zhao Moqing asked again.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Let's do a QR code scan. They can only draw if they follow our official account."

There were many ways to draw the lottery, such as paper, balls, turntables, and so on. The QR code lottery was the most convenient. It was also an emerging way to draw.

Naturally, many people also doubted that the probability of the QR code lucky draw was controlled by the backstage of the business. There was no doubt about this. After all, the business activities naturally had to be controlled. They could not let people take away all the prizes quickly.

Actually, it was not just a QR code sweep. Any lucky draw seller would control it. It was the same for paper scratch prizes and ball-type lucky draws. In fact, these lucky draws would not even include the first prize and some grand prizes at the beginning. It was all because the seller felt that they needed to release one. Otherwise, they would not be able to draw any other time.

Moreover, as long as it was a business that could really release the award, it was already very conscientious. As for whether it could be controlled or not, there was no need to ask for too much. Don't be like a lottery winner who didn't even change out of his work uniform and even forcefully pressed his IQ to the ground.

After confirming it, Qin Lin also had two things to do. The first was the container for the watermelon.

He called Zhang Shi from the packaging company directly.

In Youcheng County's industrial area, Zhang Shi was checking the flower pots that had been produced on a production line. One could see that the bottom of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea was on the flower pots, and the words "Qinglin Triangular Plum" also looked elegant.

This was the last batch of 10,000 flower pots that Qinglin Villa had ordered previously. After another 500 were delivered, this order was considered completed.

He had personally watched over the previous 9,500, so he naturally could not let anything go wrong with the last 500.

As long as Qinglin Villa could give him an order as long as the milk tea cup, he felt that he would be able to get a good car soon.

When he received Qin Lin's call, Zhang Shi answered and asked immediately, "President Qin, is there a problem with the flower pots from before?"

Qin Lin said directly, "There's no problem with the flower pot. President Zhang, help me get another batch of disposable cups. They can probably hold half a catty of water. Also, get the logo of Qinglin Villa and use it tomorrow."

When Zhang Shi heard that a new business was coming, he naturally promised with a smile, "Don't worry, President Qin. I'll arrange it now."

After Qin Lin called Zhang Shi, he drove to Qin Ren's studio. It was not difficult to get a QR code lucky draw. There were specialized modules, but if he wanted to modify the program according to his requirements, he would have to find a professional.

Chapter 133

Although Qin Ren's studio was an advertising planner, the studio business in a small place was also mixed. One of the partners, Hu Fei, graduated from this computer science department.

When Qin Lin arrived, everyone in the studio looked over. Hu Fei greeted him immediately, "President Qin, welcome."

Qin Ren was modifying a publicity picture in front of his computer. When he saw Qin Lin, he pulled him forward and asked, "Look, are you satisfied with this picture?"

It was the logo of Qinglin Villa.

When Qinglin Villa received the support fund to expand, Qin Lin handed over the necessary signs, road signs, advertising posters, and so on to Qin Ren's studio.

The one that Qin Ren had made was one of the finished products.

"Yes, sure." Qin Lin nodded and said, "By the way, the rafting project and the bridal room project are almost completed. You can go and film the scene then."

"Sure." Qin Ren nodded. Advertisements had to be realistic. Then, he asked, "You didn't come over today just to tell me this, right?"

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for you today. I'm looking for Hu Fei to get a QR code lottery program."

When Hu Fei heard this, he immediately poked his head over. "President Qin, what are your requirements for the QR code lucky draw program?"

"I want to make a lucky draw. The method of winning is random… I want to use it for all the lucky draws in the future." Qin Lin also told Hu Fei his requirements. Finally, he added, "I probably have to use it tomorrow. I wonder if you can make it in time?"

Hu Fei immediately promised, "Don't worry, President Qin. This kind of lucky draw procedure is not difficult to get. I can get it done by working overtime tonight."

"Thank you." Qin Lin left after settling this matter.

...

Hu Fei picked up the phone and called his girlfriend. "Baby, I have to work overtime tonight. I can't pick you up."

Qinglin Villa was now a big client of their studio.

Although they had a relationship with Qin Ren, they could not slack off. They should do their best. Otherwise, if Qin Ren lost face, their studio would lose face as well.

There was obviously a grumble on the other end of the line. "Working overtime again? Then I'll go over to your place after work. I'll bring you food. What do you want to eat?"

"Baby, I like everything you bring." Hu Fei smiled at the phone. It was good to have an understanding girlfriend.

…

When Qin Lin returned to the villa, he realized that the big watermelons had already become popular online and was even trending.

Previously, Chen Dabei and the security guards had used a cart to transport the two watermelons into the villa and were photographed by many tourists.

Many people found it unbelievable when they saw the trending topic of watermelons. No matter how impetuous the Internet was now, there was no reason for watermelons to be trending, right? Was it because the video of a beauty was not good?

However, if one added the popularity of Qinglin Villa and the two 240-catty watermelons, it would be "F*ck, there's such a big watermelon?"

Some of the video comments were also very popular.

"I swear to Mom and Dad, I've never seen a watermelon this big in my life."

"It's obviously a decorative watermelon. I can get you a hundred of these."

"Making a fuss over nothing. I saw 500 catties of big watermelon last year."

"I'm afraid you don't know the record for the largest watermelon in the Guinness World."

"…"

At night, with a video of an official event in Qinglin Villa, the popularity of the two watermelons increased.

The video still showed Gao Yaoyao.

"I have good news for everyone. Our Qinglin Villa is giving out benefits again. Everyone is curious about what the benefits are, right? That's right, it's two big watermelons."

As Gao Yaoyao spoke, a video of two big watermelons appeared.

Gao Yaoyao continued, "One of these two big watermelons weighs 242 catties and the other 244 catties. Our Qinglin Villa spent a lot of money to buy them."

"Tomorrow, everyone will have a chance to taste the watermelon kings for free. As long as you buy tickets to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea that day, or for every full 50 yuan spent on other consumer items in the villa, you can draw once. Lucky tourists who win will get to enjoy the big watermelon for free."

"However, there are limited slots. In total, only 600 lucky spectators can taste this watermelon king, and you are the only group of people who can taste it this year."

Not long after the video was released, the likes and comments notifications kept ringing in the background of the villa's official account.

"Sister Yaoyao is on screen again. Sister Yaoyao is beautiful."

"It's actually a real melon, and it's so big. It's incredible."

"F*ck, there are only 600 lucky audience members? That's the king of melons. Wouldn't it be a pure emperor's pleasure if they ate it? Top-notch tycoons can't eat it even if they wanted to."

"When I eat this melon, I can proudly say that I've eaten a melon that only 0.0000424% of the country can eat."

"I don't plan to leave. I've prayed to the melon god. Tomorrow, I'll definitely be one of the 600 onlookers."

"…"

There were 600 spots, but they couldn't even eat them even if they wanted to. It was more like an explosive point.

The moment the event video was released, it instantly ignited some people's enthusiasm. These people had wanted to go to Qinglin Villa to begin with, but now it seemed that there was another reason. Some of the tourists who had wanted to leave today suddenly chose to stay in Youcheng County and planned to come back tomorrow.

Zhao Moqing had been paying attention to the situation online. Seeing that the popularity was increasing, she was also happy. "Qin Lin, our event has become popular. Everyone's reaction is very big."

"It's not surprising. After all, the only two melon kings and the gimmick that only 600 people can eat are big enough." Qin Lin smiled and said. In the university publicity course, catching the gimmick was also a compulsory course. Therefore, he had already specially added gimmicks like the melon king and 600 people.

Besides, this would only be the hottest after the tourists had eaten the melon tomorrow.

The melon taste of these two Quality 3 melons were the same as Quality 2. It was undoubtedly delicious, but those who really won the lottery would definitely brag about the taste of the melon.

This was the special psychology of people. Only by bragging would the winners feel that they were earning more.

These are points of knowledge in the university's propaganda psychology course.

The drifting project and bridal chamber project of Qinglin Villa were about to be completed. The county had also been paying attention to the situation of Qinglin Villa. After all, the county had approved the 25 million yuan support fund of Qinglin Villa.

Chen Li was also watching the activity video of the villa. "Sun Xian, I told you that Boss Qin is a reliable person. He's already starting to make the villa popular."

Sun Xian nodded. "To think he could buy two watermelons this big. That's very eye-catching."

Beside him, Zhong Lei immediately reported, "Sun Xian, Chief Chen, President Qin, these two melons should be the black water watermelon from Dian Nan."

Chen Li asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Zhong Lei explained, "Someone from Dian Nan posted a video saying so."

At this moment…

In Qinglin Villa.

Zhao Moqing also handed a video to Qin Lin and said, "Qin Lin, see if this is taking advantage of our popularity?"

Qin Lin took the video and saw that it was also a video about watermelons.

Anyone who knew anything about watermelons knew that Dian Nan produced large watermelons. It was not difficult to see watermelons weighing more than 100 catties. That was the place that broke the record for the largest watermelon in the country.

"Speaking of watermelons, watermelons weighing more than 200 catties are indeed very rare. This year, the two special watermelon kings in Dian Nan are also more than 200 catties. They're the largest in the world this year. Those two were ordered by customers in the south. They might be the two in Qinglin Villa."

After watching the video, Qin Lin teased, "Interesting."

This was clearly a video of a scammer trying to gain popularity. Someone from Dian Nan must have wanted to use this to promote his large watermelon.

However, the key was that the other party seemed to be rubbing against them. The content of the video would obviously make people think that these two watermelons from Qinglin Villa were produced by Dian Nan. However, there was some leeway in his words, not giving him a chance to make things difficult for them.

If they really wanted to argue, the other party insisted that two watermelons had been transported to the south. They did not say for sure that the two watermelons from Qinglin Villa were theirs.

Chapter 134

Actually, the most important thing about this video was not that Dian Nan was trying to gain popularity, but that the other party had said 'the biggest watermelon in the world this year'. This had even forcefully raised the two watermelons in their villa to become the biggest watermelon in the world.

It was as if he wanted to say: Brother, let me steal some of the limelight. I'll make you popular too. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Qin Lin had also learned such publicity methods in university, which saved him some effort. That was, no one would ask him where he bought the watermelon, and there was no need for him to make it up. He would just let the netizens misunderstand.

Qin Lin thought about it and ignored the video of Dian Nan trying to gain popularity.

In this situation, if the other party wanted to freeload, so be it.

Naturally, after Yinan posted the video, the netizens paid even more attention to the two watermelons in Qinglin Villa.

This was because it was already world-class. There were more than seven billion people in the world this year, but only 600 people could eat it.

There were only 600 people out of more than 7 billion. Moreover, any ordinary person had a chance to become one of these 600 people. In the past, this thing had always been on the tables of big shots, right?

The significance of being the only 600-member crowd in the world seemed to be even greater. It felt like they could totally brag about it.

This made many people who were playful and eager to join in the fun even more eager.

Into the night.

Qin Lin received a call from Qin Ren, telling him that Hu Fei's QR code lucky draw program had been completed. He just had to send it to him and follow the instructions.

After accepting the program, Qin Lin installed it on the computer at the bar and connected the program to the villa's collection system.

...

This way, when the tourists paid the bill, a lucky draw would be generated when the payment was full. This was because the entrance fee for the Sea of Flowers was also set at 50 yuan.

And the lottery method was that when tourists paid the bill, a lottery program would pop up.

This popped up after it was connected to the villa's QR code. After the event ended, the program would be shut down. This small program would not appear again after scanning the villa's QR code.

After the tourists drew the lottery, they just had to close the delete program. There was no effect. The number of times they could draw the lottery based on the consumption data would also be displayed on the lottery program.

Tourists could choose their own lottery through this small program. Once they won, the cashier would use a scanner gun to scan the information of the small program, and the tourists could collect the watermelons.

Naturally, after the scan, the number of times he won the prize was eliminated. He could not receive it a second time.

Moreover, the small program would also hint at the remaining number of winners.

This program could not only be used in this lucky draw, but it could also be used in future lucky draws.

"Set the number of awards?"

Qin Lin started operating the program.

There was no distinction between first and second prize. He chose one directly.

"Set the winning prompt name!"

Qin Lin thought for a moment and started typing on the keyboard. "Congratulations on obtaining supreme world enjoyment!"

After setting up, Qin Lin pulled Zhao Moqing to experiment more than ten times. He only felt relieved when everything was fine.

When Zhao Moqing saw the winning notification, he teased, "Supreme world enjoyment? Qin Lin, this is too…"

She obviously wanted to complain, but she couldn't find the right words.

However, Qin Lin didn't care. Now, everyone knows that these watermelons were the two largest in the world this year. Out of the seven billion people who could eat them, only 600 people could eat them. If they weren't world supreme, what were they?

Then, Qin Lin also called the Sea of Flowers conductor, the cashier, and the waiter of the villa together and explained the lucky draw procedure to them.

During the event, they had to take the initiative to guide the tourists. Even if the tourists did not understand, they had to give them answers.

…

The night passed.

As expected, the villa was in full swing. Many tourists arrived earlier than usual. There were even tourists from yesterday who had not left and wanted to stay and see if they had a chance to win a prize today.

It had to be said that eating the melon king that only 600 people in the world could eat this year while traveling was also an achievement of special significance, right?

When many tourists arrived at the villa, the first thing they did was head to the hall to understand the details of the lucky draw.

A huge watermelon was already on display in the middle of the hall.

Chen Dabei was surrounded by a few security guards, not allowing anyone to approach.

Seeing this scene, some tourists asked Gao Yaoyao and the other waiters.

"Sister, how do I draw today?"

"When do we start the lottery?"

"…"

Gao Yaoyao didn't expect these tourists to be so enthusiastic about two watermelons, but she also wanted to try this big watermelon.

Faced with the question, she replied with a smile, "Today's lucky draw will be divided into two rounds. One at noon and one in the evening. Every time a watermelon is opened, a lucky draw program will pop up when everyone scans the QR code to pay the bill. As long as you spend 50 yuan, a lucky draw will be generated on the lucky draw program. As long as you win, you can receive it based on the winning information…"

Tourists who understood the situation left the hall one after another and headed to the Sea of Flowers to buy tickets. One Sea of Flowers ticket was enough for one lucky draw.

A long-legged beauty in a short skirt hugged her boyfriend's arm and ran Sea of Flowers."

The waiter handed out tickets with a smile. "A total of 100 yuan. You can scan the code and pay. When the time comes, a small program will pop up and automatically generate two lucky draws."

The man immediately took out his phone and paid for the QR code scan. As expected, after paying, a small program message popped up on the phone. There was a message on it: You have two lucky draws.

Chapter 135

Below the message was a lottery button.

"Let's try the lottery," the woman urged her boyfriend, leaning closer.

The man nodded, looking forward to it. After all, he had rushed over from the city with his girlfriend after watching the video last night.

The man pressed the lucky draw button. There was one less lucky draw, and then a result appeared: Thank you for participating!

"You're so unlucky. I'll do the last one." The beauty immediately took her boyfriend's phone and pressed the lucky draw button.

Thank you for participating!

Seeing the same result again, the beauty was clearly vexed. She said to her boyfriend, "It's all your fault. Your bad luck has affected me."

The man was instantly bitter.

Who could blame him?

But he had no choice but to smile at the beauty and say, "Baby, it's all my fault. Let's look at the Sea of Flowers first. When we come out later, we can spend the rest and draw a lottery. I'll definitely let you eat that watermelon today."

When the beauty heard this, she snorted and happily hugged his arm again as she walked towards the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea.

...

She cherished her boyfriend, too. She knew she was short-tempered and sometimes unreasonable. No one indulged her like her boyfriend.

As time passed, there were obviously more tourists arriving at the villa today than before.

The most direct proof was at the Sea of Flowers ticket counter. The 650 tickets that were limited in the morning had already been sold out. There were still people asking about the tickets.

However, the number of people in the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea was fixed. There were only 650 people in the morning, and they had to enter in batches. They could not affect the tourists' experience in the Sea of Flowers just because they were anxious for quick success.

Today's situation naturally made many tourists complain.

"What do we do? We can't buy tickets for the Sea of Flowers this morning. What else is there to spend at the villa?"

"I've drawn the lottery eight times and I still haven't won. How many times have I played the slippery grass and jungle adventure?"

"The tickets to the Sea of Flowers were sold out so quickly?"

"Aren't there any other consumer items in Qinglin Villa? I've already failed more than ten times. I really can't eat fruits and food anymore."

"…"

Naturally, there were many lucky ones.

At the sales center, a beautiful woman bought a large glass of medicinal honey water. On the first draw, she exclaimed in surprise, "Hahaha, Xiao Di, I've won a prize. Congratulations on obtaining supreme enjoyment!"

Beside her, her best friend called Xiao Di complained, "Why didn't I win both times?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful woman exclaimed again, "Haha, I got it again. I killed two birds with one stone. I get to enjoy it twice."

"How could it be?" Xiao Di was furious at her best friend.

The beautiful woman comforted her. "I've won twice, Xiao Di. I'll take care of you today."

This scene made many of the tourists around them envious.

What kind of bloody luck was that?

"Why did she win it twice in a row?"

"I didn't even get it after five draws. This…

"…"

A slightly burly bespectacled man walked up to a waiter and asked, "Beauty, what's the most expensive thing in the sales center?"

The waiter made an enthusiastic introduction. "Sir, we have special watermelons. They cost 200 yuan a catty."

"Can I take it with me?" the man asked again. He had eaten too much at the sales center to eat any more.

"Sure." The waitress nodded.

Although everything in the special breed area was forbidden to be taken away and had to be consumed at the villa, the 200 yuan per catty of special watermelon was an exception.

The man did not hesitate when he heard this. He went straight to carry a special variety of watermelon for the waiter to weigh.

"12.3 catties, sir. That'll be $2,460," the waiter said to the man after weighing the watermelons.

The man scanned the code and paid. The small program indicated that he had obtained 49 lucky draws.

The man decisively clicked the lucky draw button and clicked crazily.

Thank you for participating!

Thank you for participating!

…

Thank you for participating!

All thanks for participating.

When the man used the last lucky draw, it was still thank you for participating. He was immediately annoyed. "F*ck, I didn't win either. I knew I would be unlucky if I drove into a crow today…"

The man cursed and walked over to pick up a special watermelon for the waiter to weigh.

He didn't lack money.

Go big or go home.

He couldn't think straight without drawing it once.

The waiter, on the other hand, stared in amazement at the somewhat unlucky tourist.

Actually, she felt that they were all watermelons. This watermelon that cost more than 2,400 yuan was fine too. There was no need to eat a portion of that watermelon, right?

However, to the waiter's surprise, another tourist went to move special watermelons.

The man seemed to have enlightened some people. Instead of racking their brains to think of how to spend it, it was better to directly use this special watermelon.

It was hard to understand the fanaticism of these people without experiencing it firsthand.

In the lobby of the villa.

Qin Lin had long known that the limited tickets for the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea in the morning had been sold out. Now, all the tourists who couldn't buy tickets had gathered at the sales center.

To Qin Lin's surprise, more than 30 Quality 2 watermelons were sold out very quickly.

Each of them cost more than 2,000 yuan. Usually, there were only 1,500 tourists, but they could only sell about 25 a day.

How long has it been now?

It seemed that many people did not care about money today. These people should be after the watermelon kings and wanted to eat one of the 600 portions.

After all, they could buy a Quality 2 watermelon many times.

He wondered what these people would think when they went back and found that the watermelon tasted the same as Quality 2.

He wondered if they would regret it?

With this thought in mind, Qin Lin planned to ship out a batch of watermelons of Quality 2 from the game at noon.

Today's sales would probably break new highs.

However, before noon, Gao Yaoyao ran over to report. "Boss, the tourists bought a lot of things at the sales center today. There aren't enough things in the sales center. They might run out by noon."

Qin Lin nodded and instructed, "Got it. Go and calculate the number for me and see what needs to be added. I'll get the supplier to send it over urgently at noon."

A lot of things in the sales center were fruits and fresh food. The goods prepared for such things were just in a day. The villa would not store them.

This was the first time such an event had been held, and it was far more popular than expected. The villa was inexperienced. The next time there was such an event, they had to prepare in advance. They could not rush to find someone to deliver the goods.

After Gao Yaoyao came over with the statistics, Qin Lin also called Lin Feng and the other suppliers.

Otherwise, it would be awkward if the sales center didn't have enough to sell in the afternoon.

Lin Feng's suppliers naturally made arrangements for Qinglin Villa as quickly as possible.

To them, Qinglin Villa was a stable channel. No one dared to neglect it.

Chapter 136

As time passed, there were more and more tourists at the mountain villa. The number of visitors in one morning had probably far exceeded the usual 1,500.

In the past, tourists came to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea. No one wanted to come empty-handed if the Sea of Flowers was limited.

This time, most of them were here for the two melon kings.

After last night's hype and popularity, the value and anticipation of these two world kings had reached an extreme. Many people would probably post it on their WeChat Moments immediately after winning the prize, right?

Finally.

Chen Dabei and the security guards carried the watermelon to a table specially prepared outside the hall.

Master Lin also took out a special machete and prepared to cut the melon.

The two ticket collectors at the side were also ready.

Captain Hong was also maintaining order with two patrolmen.

Gao Yaoyao had already come out with a few waiters. She was holding a microphone in her hand and announced to the tourists with a smile, "Attention, tourists. The melon king in the morning is about to be cut. Tourists who have drawn the lottery can queue up for the reward based on the winning information."

Immediately, countless tourists rushed over. However, with Captain Hong and the others around, none of them dared to crowd around recklessly. They were still very intimidating in their police uniforms.

...

While Master Lin was sharpening his knife, the tourists were already taking photos with their phones.

The video of the melon king being cut open was enough to be posted on WeChat.

At least they were involved!

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Master Lin cut open the melon king under everyone's anticipation. In an instant, the delicious melon meat was revealed. Just looking at it made one want to take a bite.

Gao Yaoyao also held the microphone and said, "Now, tourists who have won can come up to receive their rewards based on the winning information."

The waiters behind her had also reached the large halves of the split watermelon. They were all holding a ball spoon and a special disposable cup.

Gao Yaoyao was in charge of checking the information, while they were in charge of giving the watermelons.

Two beautiful women were the first to run forward. "We can trade for two."

One of the beauties had obviously attracted the attention of many men.

This beautiful woman looked too much like Teacher Ohashi and seemed to have a similar figure. They knew Teacher Ohashi very well.

Gao Yaoyao picked up the scanner gun and scanned the information of the two beauties.

The two beauties also received their first and second portions of watermelon.

Those who had won looked over, curious about how the melon king tasted.n

The two beauties picked up small forks and put a piece of watermelon into their mouths to chew.

Their mouths were instantly filled with sweetness. Coupled with the delicious juice, it was perfect.

The beauty who looked like Teacher Ohashi couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Di, this watermelon is too delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious watermelon in my life."

Xiao Di nodded crazily. "Yes, it's still sweet in my mouth after eating it. There shouldn't be any watermelon better than this, right?"

The praises of the two beauties seemed to be a little exaggerated, but the way they enjoyed it made the tourists who had won the prize unable to help themselves. They went up to Gao Yaoyao to check the information of the prize and then received the watermelons.

More and more winning tourists were receiving watermelons.

Without exception, even a Quality 2 watermelon was something that countless people had never eaten before. Even Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were shocked by the delicacy.

Therefore, even though the other attributes of this Quality 3 watermelon were only +2, those lucky tourists had never tasted it before. After eating it, they praised it in unison.

"It's really too good. You wouldn't believe how delicious watermelon can be until you've tried it."

"Haha, it's delicious. I almost destroyed my butt on the slippery grass for the lucky draw. It's really worth it now."

"As expected of supreme enjoyment. I swear this is the first time I've eaten such delicious watermelons since I was young. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them again."

"…"

The tourists who didn't win were a little anxious. There were fewer and fewer winners left.

The more people who won the prize said that it was delicious, the more they wanted to eat it.

As noon approached, the 300 winning tickets for the morning were all released. Tourists who did not win could only take their purchases to the buffet barbecue or let the kitchen cook.

Even the kitchen would be busier today.

After all, many people had bought a lot of things for the lucky draw, and most of them were unwilling to come out and bring these things back.

Chen Dabei brought the two halves of the watermelon skin in with the security guard. "Boss, what should we do with the rest?"

The watermelons had all been dug out with a ball spoon. The watermelon rinds as a whole had not been destroyed. They looked like two large, complete green hands.

There were more than 240 catties of watermelon, but only half a catty of each prize spot. Even after deducting the weight of the watermelon skin and distributing another 300 portions, there was still a lot of melon meat left.

Qin Lin instructed, "Dig out the rest for everyone to eat as snacks. Oh right, hand the watermelon skin to Master Lin and let him soak it. Let's braise it for a taste tonight."

"Okay, Boss!" Chen Dabei nodded and brought the watermelon rind into the kitchen.

Qin Lin was looking forward to the watermelon rind.

People born in big cities would definitely not eat watermelon rinds. Some people might not even know that watermelon rinds were edible.

However, many villagers should have eaten watermelon rinds before, and they tasted pretty good.

He missed the braised watermelon rind that his father used to make.

As Qin Lin was recalling, he saw Chen Xiaoru running in, sweating profusely. It was obvious that school had just ended at noon.

Chapter 137

As soon as she saw Qin Lin, the girl asked, "Uncle Qin, where's the melon king? Is the money deducted from my lunch today enough to draw a prize?"

"What prize? I'll treat you to it!" Qin Lin understood why this young lady was sweating profusely. She must have rushed over as soon as school ended to eat the Quality 3 watermelon, right?

However, Chen Xiaoru shook her head firmly. "No, I want to draw the lottery myself. Only by winning it will it be meaningful. Even if I don't win, it's important to participate."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Alright, a program will pop up when you scan my QR code. The supplements you ate for lunch are barely enough to draw a prize."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and created a QR code for Chen Xiaoru to scan.

Actually, the money that Chen Li had given him was deducted at the cheapest ordinary price. On the surface, the little girl's daily supplements were really not enough for a lucky draw.

However, he did not dwell on this. Even the small program that popped up when he scanned the little girl's QR code would definitely win.

This was an internal use. After all, if acquaintances like Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen came to try the melon king, he couldn't possibly ask them to cut the queue without drawing the lottery, right? His impression of tourists was very unfriendly.

However, they might not necessarily win if he lets them go to the lucky draw. Therefore, he directly let them sweep his phone, a small program that popped up in the QR code that guaranteed a win.

Nothing could ever be absolutely fair.

After all, people would be affected by their emotions and desires.

Chen Xiaoru had no idea that she would definitely win. She looked at her phone and saw the only draw lot. She very seriously placed her phone on the table, then clasped her hands together and muttered, " Jade Emperor, Buddha bless me…"

Qin Lin smiled when he saw this. He recalled the scene of many students burning incense and worshiping the Goddess of Studying before exams. Although the Goddess of Studying seemed to fail every time, it made him smile when he recalled it.

Chen Xiaoru picked up her phone again and solemnly pressed the lucky draw button. Then, she saw the lucky draw notification appear on her phone.

"I won, I won. I obtained supreme enjoyment. Uncle Qin, where's my watermelon?" Chen Xiaoru was so happy that she almost jumped up when she saw that she had won. "The Jade Emperor and Buddha have finally come to life."

Please reading -on

Qin Lin smiled and called Gao Yaoyao over. He asked her to go in and find Chen Dabei to bring out a cup of Quality 3 watermelon for the little girl.

After Chen Xiaoru received the watermelon, she didn't eat it immediately. Instead, she happily sat down at a table, picked up her phone, and started taking photos of the watermelon.

The online watermelon king was so popular. If she went to class in the afternoon with these photos, she would be the center of attention.

In the afternoon.

Qin Lin went to the warehouse to enter the game and moved another 50 watermelons out. When he arrived at the villa, a new round of popularity in the villa started.

Surprisingly, there were even more tourists in the afternoon than in the morning. It was so crowded that even the intersection with the state highway outside the entrance was blocked.

Many of the people who won the prize took videos and praised it online. The more they praised it, the more restless the people who followed this matter became, and the more tourists came to join in the fun.

Captain Hong was already maintaining traffic order with a couple of traffic cops.

Qin Lin brought the watermelons into the villa and quickly called Chen Dabei to bring the Quality 2 watermelons into the sales center.

In today's situation, the sales of this Quality 2 watermelon were especially fierce.

…

Time passed.

The second Quality 3 watermelon was also cut open in anticipation of visitors.

The person who won the prize in the afternoon immediately looked for Gao Yaoyao to verify the information and receive the watermelon.

Without exception, praise rose and fell again.

This time, the event at Qinglin Villa was a success, and it was well-received.

As for the tourists who won the prize this time, presumably for a long time they would habitually talk to those around them about the subject of the king of melons. Then, with pride, they would say: I am one of the 600.

In the staff canteen of the villa.

Qin Lin also picked up a bowl of braised watermelon rind in disbelief and stuffed it into his mouth.

Because it was too delicious. The fragrance and aftertaste were amazing.

He had not expected that the attribute of Quality 2 watermelon would not only be effective on the melon meat, but also on the melon skin.

Beside him, Zhao Moqing said in disbelief, "This watermelon rind is actually so delicious. This is my first time eating the watermelon rind."

Lin Fen smiled and said, "Watermelon rinds are edible to begin with, and there's even Chinese medicine using it. In the past, there were people in the countryside who had a fever and a cough. They would recover after eating some watermelon rind."

At the tables beside them, Gao Yaoyao and the waitresses kept picking up the watermelon rind with their chopsticks. The girls chatted non-stop.

"Boohoo. It's the first time I've found watermelon rind so delicious. I feel like I've missed out on more than twenty years."

"Yeah, what a waste. It feels like this watermelon rind is better than any watermelon I've ever eaten."

"You feel right. I feel the same way."

"Two big watermelons have lots of watermelon rinds. They should still be edible tomorrow, right?"

"Sister Yaoyao, ask the boss. I want to eat the watermelon rind."

"…"

Apparently the meal turned into a discussion of watermelon rinds.

At night, as the tourists gradually left, the employees of the villa heaved a sigh of relief.

There were too many people at the villa today because of the melon king event.

There was a limited number of tickets in the Sea of Flowers, and the sales center was not allowed to rest for even a moment. Even the slippery grass had become the target of the tourists.

The slippery grass site was overwhelmed. The project was stopped urgently at 2 p.m.

Chapter 138

In the end, Zhao Moqing gave the statistics to Qin Lin. "The total number of lucky draws today has reached 18,324. The number of visitors is 5,086. Most of them were here for the melon king. The average lucky draw for each person is 3.6."

When Qin Lin obtained the data, he could not help but marvel at the effect of the two Quality 3 watermelons.

This was far more than expected.

The limit on customers was 1,500. In the end, they received more than 5,000 people. This was almost too much.

Fortunately, he had decisively restricted the tickets to the Sea of Flowers.

With 16,324 lucky draws and 50 yuan produced once, the turnover would be at least 916,200 yuan. The main force would naturally be the goods like the Quality 2 watermelons and those supplied by suppliers like Lin Feng.

The number of items taken out in the game could not last a day at all. After that, the situation was only held up by the ordinary products provided by these suppliers.

However, even if the turnover reached 916,000 yuan, the per capita consumption was still only 180 yuan.

In the eyes of those popular tourist attractions that received 5,000 people per day, such per capita consumption would probably be despised. Even if the number of people was given to you, you actually couldn't squeeze out any money.

But this couldn't be helped. There weren't enough spending projects. Some tourists didn't even know how to gather 50 yuan for the lucky draw. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept going to the slippery grass activity.

Moreover, the employees of the villa were all exhausted from the overload. Gao Yaoyao kept shouting into the microphone, her voice hoarse.

However, it was always joyous to have a successful event. Qin Lin also instructed Zhao Moqing, "Everyone has worked hard today. Give each employee a 100 yuan red packet."

"Alright, I'll arrange it." Zhao Moqing nodded. The employees had worked hard, so the rewards had to be given. Everyone was indeed too tired today.

...

If he wanted a horse to run, a horse had to eat grass. He believed that a 100-yuan red packet would definitely make the employees who had worked hard all night happy.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Lin received a call from Chen Li.

"Chief Chen, why are you calling at this time?"

"Isn't it to congratulate Boss Qin on your successful event? By the way, let me ask about the reception at the villa today. The tourists who came to your villa today almost blocked the intersection."

"Thanks to the county's traffic police, the villa received 5,086 people today."

Qin Lin did not hide the number of customers he received.

On the other hand, Chen Li hung up the phone and said to Sun Xian in surprise, "Sun Xian, Qinglin Villa actually accepted 5,086 people today."

Since the melon king event at Qinglin Villa was so popular, the county naturally paid attention to it.

"Over 5,000 because of an event?" Sun Xian felt like he couldn't sit still anymore.

One had to know that a famous scenic area with 5,000 visitors a day was a watershed. The famous Wu Mountain scenic area had only received 5,000 visitors last year.

And there was no scenic spot in Youcheng County that had this number of visitors.

Although Qinglin Villa had only broken through 5,000 people through this event, it also meant that they had the potential.

Sun Xian hurriedly instructed, "Old Chen, hurry up and prepare the relevant materials. You'll be qualified when the other projects in Qinglin Villa are officially opened. Send the information to Boss Qin immediately and get him to apply for a 4A scenic spot. When the time comes, our county will help to recommend the information."

"Yes!" Chen Li immediately nodded.

The number of guests received by Qinglin Villa today made the usually calm Sun Xian a little uneasy.

Chapter 139

After the uproar at the villa yesterday, the heavens seemed to have the intention to cool the villa down. It actually rained the next day.

It rained all year round. The spring rain was continuous and intense. The autumn rain was sorrowful, but the winter rain was delicate and inconspicuous.

Qin Lin looked at the drizzle. If it wasn't for the cold winter, it would have looked romantic.

"I didn't expect it to suddenly rain." Zhao Moqing looked at the rain outside and frowned slightly. "A few tourists came and left in disappointment just now."

The ones who do scenic spots least want to see rainy days.

But it was going to rain. Men could not control the weather.

"Send an announcement to the official account of the villa. Don't let the tourists run away," Qin Lin said to Zhao Moqing.

Many tourists who came to his villa were foreigners now. When they ran over and realized that it was raining, one could imagine their terrible mood.

Not everyone could ignore the winter cold and feel the romance of this drizzle.

Although some tourists were already on their way here, they still had to show their attitude. At the very least, they could avoid many people who saw them coming.

Gao Yaoyao walked towards the two of them. "Boss, Sister Moqing, someone is here to apply for the pet breeder position."

This piqued Qin Lin's interest.

Now there were the squirrels left behind in addition to Red Hair.

...

The squirrels from the game were easy to teach, but the other wild ones were troublesome. For example, taking care of their fur was very troublesome, and they couldn't be expected to undress, dress, and clean themselves.

Most importantly, domestic squirrels generally did not need to bathe, but squirrels that ran in the wild had to bathe regularly.

After all, this was a scenic spot, and there were many tourists interacting with the squirrels.

And how to bathe squirrels was a difficult matter for him. It was said that bathing little squirrels could easily cause them to get sick and catch a cold and eventually die.

"Let the other party come over!" Qin Lin instructed Gao Yaoyao.

A moment later, Gao Yaoyao walked in with a beautiful girl in jeans and a blue jacket.

"These two are the boss and the lady boss." Gao Yaoyao introduced them to Qin Lin.

"My surname is Qin. Please sit." Qin Lin nodded at the girl.

"Hello, President Qin. This is my resume." After the pretty girl sat down, she immediately took out a resume and handed it to Qin Lin. There were two certificates below.

Qin Lin took it and looked at it.

The girl's name was Zhang Guizhu. She was 25 years old, single, and a native of Youcheng County.

Pretty 25-year-old girls who were still single were rare. Naturally, that wasn't important.

What caught Qin Lin's attention was that the girl had actually graduated from Funong University with a veterinary degree. She also had two years of experience at the First Zoo in Xia City and her treatment experience.

The certificates were a diploma and an outstanding employee certificate issued last year at the First Zoo in Xia City.

This was definitely a talent. Not only could she take care of the squirrels, but she would also be useful when the ranch was open in the future.

The other party also wrote the expected salary: 7,000 yuan.

For a small place like Youcheng County, 7,000 yuan was definitely a lot, but for such a talent, 7,000 yuan was definitely too little.

In those big cities, people who had graduated from veterinary school and had two years of experience at the First Zoo in Xia City and treatment for animals would definitely have no problem applying for a salary of 15,000 yuan at the big city zoo. It might even be higher.

However, the salary could not be measured that way. After all, many people would rather be paid 5,000 yuan in their hometown than 10,000 yuan overseas.

Moreover, people who were paid 5,000 yuan in their hometown might not necessarily live a more miserable life than those who were paid 10,000 yuan overseas. They could also accompany their families often.

If they worked overseas, they might not even be able to come home when their parents were sick.

"Zhang Guizhu, right?" Qin Lin looked at the girl and asked, "Your resume is very good, but I'm very curious. You're an outstanding employee of the First Zoo in Xia City. Why did you leave? The treatment there should be very good for talents like you."

Zhang Guizhu nodded and said, "Yes, I was actually already undergoing the Breeding Team Leader assessment before I resigned. However, I'm a single child. My parents were already old when they gave birth to me. My father even found out that he has high blood pressure. Naturally, I hope to find a stable career locally. Moreover, my parents have never wanted me to marry far away."

Qin Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions about this. Instead, he went straight to the point. "Then do you know anything about squirrels? Do you have any experience in how to take care of them?"

"Don't worry, President Qin. There are squirrels in the First Zoo in Xia City." Zhang Guizhu nodded and took out her phone. She opened some videos and handed them to Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing.

The video was of the other party interacting and rearing squirrels.

Qin Lin did not have any doubts and immediately expressed his intention to hire her. Then, he got Zhao Moqing to prepare the contract and signed it with Zhang Guizhu.

After signing the contract, Qin Lin said, "Zhang Guizhu, you can go back and prepare today. You can come back tomorrow."

Zhang Guizhu shook her head and said, "President Qin, I have nothing to do when I go back on a rainy day. Why don't you bring me to see those squirrels first?"

While they were talking, a few little guys had coincidentally scurried into the hall. It was Red Hair and the little squirrels in clothes.

The little ones were still wet from the rain.

Red Hair had brought its lackeys to the hall to hide from the rain.

When Red Hair saw Qin Lin, it jumped onto his shoulder.

The other squirrels were brave enough to run to the bar, and the timid ones scurried up the rafters.

"President Qin, are all the squirrels in the villa like this?" Zhang Guizhu asked in surprise.

Chapter 140

Before she came to apply for the job, she had naturally seen the information on the villa's squirrels. She also knew that these squirrels were a specialty of the villa's Triangular Plum Blossom Sea.

Actually, many of the breeders she knew found this unbelievable.

Because squirrels were timid, it was difficult for them to be free-range and interact with tourists.

Perhaps only those professional squirrel ecological parks that were specially cultivated from a young age could do what Qinglin Villa did.

"Usually, they're over at the Sea of Flowers." Qin Lin smiled and grabbed Red Hair from his shoulder. He handed it to Zhang Guizhu and said, "This little guy is called Red Hair. Take good care of him. Your job will be much easier in the future."

After being placed in someone else's hand by Qin Lin, Red Hair suddenly became unhappy. It squeaked at him and then scurried back into his hand. It even bared its claws at Zhang Guizhu.

Qin Lin was stunned. He wasn't going to give it to Zhang Guizhu. What was this little fellow doing?

He immediately knocked Red Hair on the head and said without caring if the little guy understood him, "Put away your claws. She's here to serve you. She'll change your clothes, comb your hair, and bathe you. You can treat her like a little maid."

To Qin Lin's surprise, the little fellow seemed to understand him. It instantly retracted its claws and even squeaked at him, as if asking him if it was real.

"…" Zhang Guizhu was stunned.

Her? A little maid?

But before she could react, she realized that the little squirrel called Red Hair had taken the initiative to scurry into her hand. It squeaked at her and kept raising its wet tail and wagging it.

"Wow!" Zhang Guizhu looked at Red Hair in disbelief. Then, she looked up at Qin Lin and said, "President Qin, can you prepare a basin for me and warm water at about 35 degrees? Pet cleaning liquid and a hairdryer? It should want to comb its fur. I'll give it a bath too."

Qin Lin was surprised. "How did you know?"

Zhang Guizhu explained, "It keeps wagging its tail, which is covered in water droplets. Its fur is also sticky. The squirrels at the First Zoo in Xia City are also like this sometimes."

...

Qin Lin understood. She was experienced. Some bosses preferred employees with experience because they could get into the mood easily.

"Alright." Qin Lin also instructed Gao Yaoyao to prepare.

The pet cleaning liquid was naturally bought for the dog. It was a pet general-purpose liquid.

Zhang Guizhu also studied Red Hair's clothes in her hand and tried to take off the little guy's clothes.

Soon.

Gao Yaoyao came out with warm water. The pet liquid and hairdryer were also ready.

Zhang Guizhu had just joined the company and seemed to want to show her professionalism. When she took the basin of water, she said, "It's very easy for squirrels to catch a cold and fall sick when bathing, so it's best to control the temperature around 35 degrees. Also, you have to scratch them lightly when bathing. Squirrels are prone to struggling when bathing and will get scratched…"

As Zhang Guizhu spoke, Red Hair, who was beside her, seemed to be impatient. With a splash, it jumped into the basin.

"?" Zhang Guizhu was embarrassed.

Except for pets like the dog, many pets didn't like bathing. They even resisted bathing. Squirrels were the same.

Something was wrong with this squirrel. It had jumped in on its own.

"Squeak." Red Hair jumped into the basin and actually squealed at Zhang Guizhu.

At that moment, Zhang Guizhu had an illusion that this squirrel seemed to be urging her to hurry up, as if it really treated her as a little maid?

But how was that possible? It was only a squirrel.

Zhang Guizhu complained in her heart, but her hands did not stop moving. She began to gently scoop up the water droplets with her palm and pour them on Red Hair.

She couldn't wash the squirrel with strong water, or it would struggle. At the same time, she poured the cleaning liquid and began to rub it gently on the red fur. White foam appeared instantly.

Bathing squirrels often got scratched at this time, so Zhang Guizhu was also very careful. However, something shocking happened again. After she finished rubbing the little squirrel's stomach, the little guy turned around in enjoyment and turned its back to her again.

"?" Zhang Guizhu opened her mouth in surprise.

Was this for real?

A squirrel knew how to enjoy bathing that much?

It was too smart!

Squeak! ~

Squeak! ~

Beside the basin, squirrels cried out one after another.

He saw a few small squirrels dressed in clothes gather around the basin and look curiously at Red Hair inside, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Another squirrel stuck its claws into the water tentatively, then immediately stuck them out and tried to reach in again.

In an instant, it became Red Hair bathing and the lackeys watching.

Red Hair didn't care. Instead, it raised its big tail and enjoyed Zhang Guizhu's touch. This made the other squirrels even more curious, and they subconsciously raised their tails.

Zhang Guizhu couldn't help but praise, "Boss, how did you do it? This squirrel is too smart. Even the most powerful trainers in the Squirrel Ecological Garden can't train squirrels to this extent."

"Hehe!" Qin Lin laughed awkwardly and thought to himself, it was all thanks to the game!

Moreover, he realized that no matter how people taught squirrels, they could not learn from each other. With Red Hair leading the demonstration, it seemed to be more effective than many trainer training.

For example, the foreigners' foreign language explanations were not as good as his parents' demonstration.

Zhang Guizhu washed away the foam on Red Hair's body, then took the hairdryer and carefully blew on Red Hair. To her surprise, the squirrel was not afraid of the hairdryer at all.

Chapter 141

?

They were nothing like the squirrels she'd encountered before.

After drying its fur and combing it with a comb, she put on its small clothes. Red Hair's looks seemed to have improved significantly.

When it was put down, the wild squirrels came over and surrounded it curiously.

Zhang Guizhu carefully grabbed another wild squirrel. The wild squirrel subconsciously struggled, but in the end, Zhang Guizhu placed it in the basin.

Qin Lin was relieved to see that Zhang Guizhu had successfully cleaned the first wild squirrel.

It could be seen that Zhang Guizhu was very skilled and professional.

He could at least be at ease about her as a pet handler.

Qin Lin let Zhang Guizhu busy herself before sitting down at the side. He simply looked at the game in his mind and controlled his game character to go to the mine to mine again.

The night after tomorrow was New Year's Eve. He only had a piece of yellow jade in his hands now, and he had yet to settle the gift for Zhao Moqing and his mother.

New Year's Eve was a little different for him. Zhao Moqing was already a member of the family. He planned to invite the Zhao family to a New Year's gathering and also wanted to give Zhao Moqing's parents a gift.

So he went to dig at the mine.

It seemed that the heavens had made up for his business losses because of the rain today. This time, he didn't dig for long before he actually received a game notification:

[Congratulations on obtaining a piece of Green Jade: Quality 1]

[This is a piece of green jadeite ore that can be sold for gold coins. You can also find Sebara from the Forging House to forge jewelry!]

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to put away the jade. With the harvest, he was even more motivated and continued to control his game character to mine.

"Qin Lin, what are you thinking about in a daze?" Zhao Moqing came over and sat beside Qin Lin.

Qin Lin came back to his senses and smiled. "I was thinking about you."

Zhao Moqing snorted. "When did you become so glib-tongued?"

Qin Lin smiled and focused on the game in his mind again. He controlled his character to mine. Today, his luck seemed to be really good. Soon, there was another notification.

[Congratulations on obtaining a piece of Black Jade: Quality 1]

[This is black jade ore. It can be sold for gold coins. You can also find Sebara from the Forging House to forge jewelry!]

However, this was the end of his luck today. Next, he controlled the game character to dig through the remaining area of the third level of the mine and dig out the entrance to the fourth level. He did not obtain anything good.

Moreover, he controlled the game character to enter the fourth level and received the notification of the level restriction. He had to level up again before he could enter.

Qin Lin could only give up on mining. Because of Ranches Story's mine setting, special ores and items would only appear after the first dig. It was impossible to dig them again in the future.

He steered the game character toward Sebara's Forging House and clicked on the forging list. This time he intended to forge the ring.

[Please choose the style of the ring you want to make!]

[You can also give me the design drawings you already have!]

Qin Lin looked at the designs of the rings in the game. Compared to the pendants, none of them seemed to be good. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Since he wanted to specially make gifts for others, he naturally did not want to be casual about the style.

That led him to the second prompt.

He could give Sebara the design blueprints that he already had. There were naturally no design blueprints in the game character's toolbar now.

What if he took the design drawings into the game in real life? Could he get Sebara to build the jewelry according to the designs he'd taken into the game?

If that was the case, the available styles would change from the original few to countless.

Chapter 142

As soon as Qin Lin had this thought, he drove straight back to Youcheng County. As soon as he reached home, he turned on the computer in his room and checked the design blueprint of the ring online.

There were many such drawings on the Internet, and there was also a special "Myriad Pictures Network" that sold the right to use such designs. These were the copyrights that the website had bought from various designers.

Qin Lin casually chose a design plan and printed it out with the home printer he bought from the computer.

He took the design and entered the game to replace the game character. He placed the design in the storage box of the house.

After exiting the game again, he looked at the screen in his mind and controlled the game character to walk towards the storage box.

[An unknown design. You can check out the Sebara Forging house!]

On the blueprint was the design for the ring he had just printed.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to go to the Forging House to find Sebara.

[Please choose the jewelry you want to forge!]

Qin Lin clicked on the list and the ring option appeared again.

This time he chose to hand over the blueprint directly to Sebara. Then another prompt appeared:

[Please choose the material you want to forge!]

Qin Lin immediately chose yellow jade ore and gold ore as materials.

[Current materials can be used to forge a pair of rings. Do you want to choose the size to forge?]

In the end, when he saw that the blueprint could indeed be used, Qin Lin smiled and chose no.

He was only testing this design. The style was too common.

He logged out of the game and logged into the Myriad Pictures Network. He chose the ring design option and immediately saw rows of ring designs pop up on the page.

The design of the jade ring was basically in the shape of a jade. However, the front of the ring was made of jade, and it was surrounded by other metal edges. One could design a variety of patterns.

Naturally, there were also some that were all jade, but that made it seem very simple.

Qin Lin looked at the blueprints and was suddenly attracted by a ring design.

The design was completely made of gold and jade. The center was made of jade and was wrapped in gold. There were also old and young designs.

The design was exquisite and definitely eye-catching.

The key was that the designer had also left a carved name and time location on the outer ring. The person who had customized the ring could carve the name and time on it.

Moreover, after purchasing this design blueprint, he could type out the words he wanted to carve and directly generate a preview of the effects.

This was obviously a design that had more sentimental significance than art. It was also cheap, just 500 yuan a copy.

Qin Lin bought it directly and tried to type the words "Qin Lin 2018.6.13 Zhao Moqing". The corresponding words appeared on the blank space of the design.

2018.6.13 was the day he and Zhao Moqing confirmed their relationship.

Looking at the effect map, Qin Lin decisively chose to print the blueprint.

Next, he tried to type down his mother's name and her birthday. The words on the ring and bag rings changed.

Another printout.

Thinking that there were only three jade ores in the game now, it seemed impossible to print the name and birthday of Zhao Moqing's parents separately.

He dialed Zhao Moqing's number.

Zhao Moqing's voice came through.

"Qin Lin, what's wrong?"

"Moqing, when is your parents' wedding day?"

"Why the sudden question?"

"Tell me first!"

In the villa.

Although Zhao Moqing was very puzzled about what Qin Lin was up to again, she still told him about her parents' wedding anniversary.

Not long after, Qin Lin brought the three blueprints into the game to replace his game character and placed the blueprints into the storage box.

The last drawing was the name of Zhao Moqing's parents and their wedding anniversary.

Then, he exited the game again and controlled the game character to the storage box to take out the three blueprints. Then, he went to the Forging House to look for Sebara.

…

[Current materials can be used to forge a pair of rings. Do you want to choose the size to forge?]

After Qin Lin chose the yellow jade ore and gold ore, another notification appeared. He decisively chose to forge it, followed by the size selection.

He picked out size 12 for one and 15 for the other.

Moqing could wear ring number 12.

15 was his, naturally.

A pair of rings were quickly forged.

He controlled the game character to continue forging.

He had always known the size of his mother's ring. He had also bought rings for Zhao Moqing's parents with her. Her first salary was to buy a pair of rings for her parents.

A moment later, three pairs of rings appeared in the game character's backpack.

After controlling the game character to return to the ranch, Qin Lin entered the game again.

Because he enters the range where there is no way to appear outside the ranch, only at the ranch, a barrier of air like a ranch wall was always present.

[Yellow Jade Ring: Quality 1]

[This is a ring made with yellow jade as the main body. It looks exquisite +1, art +1, translucency +1.]

The notes were identical to the ones for the pendant and bracelet. They were all appearance, art, and translucency +1.

Presumably, the price was not cheap either.

With a thought, Qin Lin logged out of the game with the six rings. Then, he went out and headed to the Jadeware Pavilion again to appraise the rings.

When he arrived at the Jadeware Pavilion, Qin Lin realized that the person at the front desk was no longer the girl from last time, but the old man himself.

"Hello, you're here again." The old man recognized Qin Lin. After all, this young man had left a deep impression on him.

Qin Lin smiled. "Old Master, I want you to appraise these rings."

"Sir, this way please." The old man led Qin Lin to a table and sat down.

Qin Lin also took out six rings.

The old man could tell at a glance that these rings were very translucent. The price was certainly not low.

Moreover, from the words on it, he knew that it was probably a gift for his family on New Year's Day.

This young man was really thoughtful.

If his granddaughter could find such a boyfriend, he would be at ease. The boyfriend his granddaughter had now was nothing but good-looking.

After appraising the six rings, the old man said, "Sir, these rings you custom-made are not cheap. They are all ice-type, and the quality is very high. The most expensive is the yellow jade ring for 20,000 yuan. The green and black jade rings are about 10,000 yuan. If this is the price, your custom-made ring is not at a loss."

Clearly, the price was a far cry from the bracelets and pendants.

However, the key was that finding Sebara to forge bracelets and rings both came in a pair. However, the price difference was so great. Suddenly, he felt that Sebara had cheated him.

The old man smiled and asked again, "Six ring gift boxes?"

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded.

The yellow jade rings were his and Zhao Moqing's.

The black jade was for Zhao Moqing's parents. The black jade was not ostentatious, and Zhao Moqing's father could also wear it out.

As for the two green rings, they were for his mother. Both had her birthday and name written on them.

Qin Lin bought a gift box and placed the ring inside. After leaving the Jadeware Pavilion, he went home first and hid the gift box containing the ring at home. He would take it out on New Year's Eve.

Afterward, he drove back to the villa. But as soon as he got out of the car in the parking lot, he saw a man with a haggard face and stubble get out of a car.

He had also seen so many tourists of all shapes and sizes that he could tell at a glance that this man must have some sad story.

Another man got out of the car and placed his hand on the haggard man's shoulder. "I drove you all the way from Lu Province to Min Province. Let yourself have some peace and quiet first. Hide from that woman first."

When the haggard man heard this, he seemed to be filled with sorrow. "How f*cking stupid. She was clearly the one who cheated on me, but today, the Provincial High Law said online that I can't ask for a divorce just because she cheated on me? How am I supposed to appeal to court?"

"What does it mean, cheating on me is just her being unfaithful to me and it doesn't prove our relationship fell apart?"

"The point is, after she saw that news, she actually had the nerve to come to me to sign the divorce papers and split the assets?"

The other man fell silent at this.

He was now considering marriage.

"…" Qin Lin was forced to be a bystander.

The conversation between the two men seemed incredible even to him.

It seemed like he had lived for nothing for the past 20 years. It seemed like the plot in movies and television shows where they had to find evidence of an affair and win the lawsuit.

Why did the law in reality say that it couldn't constitute a divorce? This seemed to be even more melodramatic than those movies and television shows?

Thinking about it, if a married woman wasn't afraid of being caught cheating, and a married man wasn't afraid of being caught cheating, what the hell was going on?

Wouldn't that open a shackle for some people?

He remembered that it wasn't like this anywhere else! There were people in Youcheng County who had successfully sued for adultery in the past. Cheating was the basis for a broken relationship that couldn't be reconciled.

The Provincial High Law…

Qin Lin felt that it was not good to secretly watch the show and quickly left.

When he returned to the villa's hall, Zhang Guizhu had already cleaned up the squirrels. The wild squirrels had showered and had their furs combed. After putting on their clothes, they looked even more handsome.

"Why did you call to ask about my parents' wedding date?" Zhao Moqing walked over and asked.

"It's a secret!" Qin Lin said with a smile, "Invite your parents over for dinner the day after tomorrow."

"Secret!" Zhao Moqing snorted and didn't ask further. She could guess what surprise Qin Lin wanted to prepare for her parents.

Then, she said, "By the way, Zhang Guizhu said that it's best to arrange a dormitory for her because the villa has to entertain tourists during the day. In the future, cleaning up the squirrels will have to wait until the tourists leave. She has to stay here."

Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "There aren't any extra dormitories now. Let her stay with Gao Yaoyao first. She can stay in the staff dormitory for a while."

Zhao Moqing nodded. "I'll talk to them later."

…

For the next two days, the weather was clear again. It seemed that God knew that New Year's Day was coming and the weather couldn't look gloomy.

Qin Lin woke up early in the morning and headed to the warehouse. After moving his things out of the game and sending them to the villa, he drove back to the warehouse with a few bags and entered the game again. Then, he placed some things he had prepared into the bags.

Quality 2: Xiangshui Tribute Rice, Quality 2: yam, Quality 2: okra, Quality 2: conch, Quality 2: eel, Quality 2: wild fish, Quality 2: strawberry, Quality 2: watermelon!

These were to be taken home.

He invited Zhao Moqing's parents to celebrate the new year together, so he naturally had to prepare everything.

After moving all these things out of the game, Qin Lin entered the game again and brought a transparent empty wine bottle to a container for brewing wine.

According to the time ratio, the wine in this first container was 20 years old.

Qin Lin aimed the bottle at the valve and filled it with wine. Holding it in his hand, he focused and saw the note.

[Qinglin Medicine Wine: Quality 2]

[This is a special medicinal wine. It has a special effect. It nourishes blood and vital energy +2, nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the body +2, treats frequent urine needs +2, and has texture +2!]

Qin Lin looked at the note and realized that there was an additional attribute compared to before.

That was texture +2.

At first, Qin Lin's medicinal wine did not have any texture attributes, but now, it had a texture +2 attribute.

He hurried to the other two punch containers to investigate.

As expected, the freshly brewed wine did not have any texture attribute, and the second batch of soaked wine also had a texture attribute of +1.

Qin Lin held the wine in his hand and took a sip. With just one sip, his eyes lit up.

He was a man who didn't like to drink.

However, under the +2 attribute, the mellow fragrance was really indescribable. It was classic!

Qin Lin brought the bottle of wine out of the game. He believed that this New Year's Eve meal was definitely unique.

If it were Chen Shengfei, Ma Liewen, and the other tycoons who knew the scale of this meal, they would probably rush over as soon as they received a call.

But when he loaded the things into the car and got into the driver's seat to start it up, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

He had been drinking!

Chapter 143

"Tsk!" Qin Lin suddenly wanted to slap himself.

He had been careless.

If he drank, he wouldn't be stupid enough to get behind the wheel. Many tragedies caused by drunk driving were ultimately caused by the driver's bad luck.

He could only take out his phone and call for a designated driver.

When he logged in to find a driver, his head hurt again.

In the suburbs, there was actually no way for the program to locate him.

This…

In the end, he could only call the transport team's supervisor, Zhao Liyuan.

"President Qin, I'm transporting goods at your factory. What are your orders?" Zhao Liyuan's tone was even more respectful than before.

Qinglin Food Company was developing faster than he had expected. When it first outsourced its business to them, it was only a factory. Now, several factories were ready to start work.

Just the outsourcing business of Qinglin Food Company was enough to support this convoy.

"Captain Zhao, I have something to trouble you with." Qin Lin had no choice but to make up an excuse. "I drank a little with a client in the warehouse. It was only after the client left that I realized that I couldn't drive anymore. I can't even locate a substitute driver."

On the other side, Zhao Liyuan revealed a stunned expression.

President Qin…

Although he didn't understand why President Qin had to go to that warehouse to drink with someone and couldn't drive himself in the end, he didn't ask further. He directly called a subordinate who was moving ketchup into the car and headed to that warehouse.

Qin Lin didn't wait long before Zhao Liyuan arrived.

"Drive my car back." Zhao Liyuan instructed the young man as soon as he got out of the car. Then, he walked towards Qin Lin and said with a smile, "President Qin, where are you going now? I'll be your driver this afternoon."

Naturally, he wouldn't let anyone else have the chance to drive him.

This was a good opportunity to improve their relationship. He could not let it go.

He knew very well that as Qinglin Food Company developed in the future, the outsourced transportation business would definitely grow. He could not be the only one. An upper-sized company could not possibly outsource transportation to a single company.

Zhao Liyuan walked to the car and opened the door for Qin Lin. After Qin Lin got into the car, he got into the driver's seat.

After Qin Lin got into the car, he said, "Let's go to Youcheng County. I want to bring some things back."

"Alright!" Zhao Liyuan immediately started the car and drove towards the county.

When they arrived at Youcheng County, Qin Lin moved everything home before letting Zhao Liyuan send him to the villa. When they arrived, he got out of the car and said, "Captain Zhao, sorry to trouble you."

Zhao Liyuan immediately said, "President Qin, why are you being so polite with me? If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can just call me if you think I'm worthy."

"Sure!" Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

He knew what Zhao Liyuan was thinking. As long as the other party did not make a mistake, he would not terminate the contract.

When they entered the villa, Qin Lin received a call from Chen Li.

He answered it and said, "Chief Chen, what are your instructions?"

Chen Li's laughter could be heard. "There are no instructions, but there is a notice. After New Year's Day, the county has a meeting to summarize the past and look into the future. They will invite the county's corporate elites to participate. This quota was originally decided three months ago. This time, Sun Xian specifically instructed that you must come."

Qin Lin naturally knew what these so-called corporate elites were. They were probably the big bosses with higher strength in the county.

Three months ago he was naturally not qualified to attend such a summary meeting.

With the influence of Qinglin Food Company and the mountain villa, he should be qualified now!

Time passed.

Because he had an appointment with Zhao Moqing's parents for the New Year's gathering, Qin Lin, his mother, and Zhao Moqing left the villa in the evening and returned to Youcheng County to prepare.

Today, Qin Lin was going to personally cook fish.

After learning how to cook fish, he had to perform from time to time.

Seeing Qin Lin take the initiative to bring up the fish, Zhao Moqing teased with a smile, "Someone is finally willing to make fish again. Didn't I discover it last time? You're afraid I'll scold you if you don't cook for me, right?"

How could Qin Lin not understand the hidden meaning? "I'll cook for you when I have time in the future," he quickly said.

"Hmph!" Zhao Moqing's pretty face revealed satisfaction and a hint of arrogance.

Lin Fen came in and said, "Moqing, ask when your parents will arrive."

Zhao Moqing said, "I just called. They should be here soon."

As she spoke, there was already a trace of rice fragrance emanating from the kitchen.

That was naturally the meal cooked by the Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice.

…

Youcheng County's First Class district.

Zhao Xianhong parked the car and got out.

He had been in a good mood recently. After his son got married, his daughter also found a good husband. Everyone could see how promising his son-in-law was.

He didn't even need to worry about his children anymore. He was about to rise another level in school.

Chen Xiao also got out of the car with Li Jiawen.

"When is Moyun coming over?" Zhao Xianhong asked his daughter-in-law.

Li Jiawen explained, "Dad, it's New Year's Eve today. KTV has been busy all day. He'll make arrangements first and come over later."

Zhao Xianhong nodded. "Let's go up first!"

When Lin Fen heard the doorbell, she opened the door immediately. When she saw the three of them, she said happily, "Chen Xiao, in-law, and Xiao Wen, come in quickly. The meal is just about to be ready."

"Auntie, I can smell it. It's the fragrance of Xiangshui Tribute Rice," Li Jiawen said with a smile. She was craving it.

After eating the Xiangshui Tribute Rice at Qin Lin's place, she felt that the difference in the rice outside was too great.

Unfortunately, the small bag of rice given by Qin Lin was gone after a few meals.

The three of them were ushered in.

When the food was almost ready, Zhao Moyun also mysteriously came with a bag. After entering, he said apologetically, "I'm a little busy. I'm not late, am I?"

Chapter 144

Zhao Moqing said, "Brother, you're just on time. We're just serving the dishes."

Zhao Moyun smiled and said, "That's good. After a busy day, I'm starving."

Lin Fen also greeted them. "Everyone sit down. Xiao Lin is making fish. It's almost ready."

After the group arrived at the table, Zhao Moyun saw the bottle of medicinal wine that Qin Lin had brought out. "Is it that wine again? Dad, shall we have a drink?"

He had drunk the wine before and naturally knew what effects it had.

"Yes." Zhao Xianhong nodded when he saw the wine.

The last time his daughter and son-in-law moved, he knew the effect of this wine after drinking it. Even though he was old and weak, he was still very enthusiastic about his wife after returning home.

Father and son poured a cup.

"Eh, this wine is different from last time." Zhao Moyun couldn't help but be surprised.

He ran a KTV and inevitably dealt with alcohol. This wine tasted far better than the last one.

Moreover, he had drunk 15 years of Maotai before. The taste was not as good as this wine.

"The fish is here. Everyone, try it." Qin Lin quickly brought out a large basin of fish and placed it at the center of the table.

He did not play any tricks tonight. There was only a large pot of boiled fish. In addition to the side dishes, he also added some braised eel.

This basin of boiled fish had a taste +3, texture +3, appetite +1.

"This boiled fish looks delicious. Qin Lin, I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so good." Li Jiawen was a foodie and praised when she saw the big pot of boiled fish.

Zhao Moyun, Chen Xiao, and Zhao Xianhong also nodded. From the looks of it, Qin Lin's pot of fish was definitely better than those chefs.

"Jiawen, try it. Qin Lin's fish is delicious!" Zhao Moqing said proudly. After all, she knew how delicious her husband's fish was.

Li Jiawen didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her mouth. Before she could swallow it, she couldn't help but pick up a second piece of fish because it was too delicious.

Even the chefs of the big restaurants could not make such delicious fish.

Zhao Moyun looked at his wife and picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. After eating it, he was in disbelief. "Qin Lin, I didn't know that you were so good at cooking after knowing you for so long. This fish is too delicious."

When Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong saw this, they also picked up their chopsticks and tasted it. The two of them were also attracted by the deliciousness of the fish, which made them even more satisfied with Qin Lin as their son-in-law.

After getting along with this son-in-law, they realized that there were more and more advantages.

The meal was thoroughly enjoyable for both families.

There was nothing left of the big pot of boiled fish.

"By the way, I prepared gifts for everyone today," Zhao Moyun suddenly said. Then, he took out the bag he had brought earlier and handed over small gift boxes from his face. He first gave them to Li Jiawen, then Chen Xiao, Zhao Xianhong, and Zhao Moqing.

In the end, he didn't even forget about Lin Fen. "Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Child, it's enough that you came. Why did you have to give me a gift?" Lin Fen was a little embarrassed. After all, there was no need for Zhao Moyun to give her a gift during the New Year.

"Everyone, open it and take a look. I especially chose it," Zhao Moyun said with a smile. Christmas Eve had traumatized his brother-in-law, Qin Lin. When he returned home, he almost knelt on the keyboard. Therefore, he had chosen the gift early today.

Chen Xiao, Li Jiawen, and the others opened the gift box and saw a golden necklace inside. Even Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen's box was also a golden necklace. Only Zhao Xianhong's gift was a watch.

"Hubby, you're the best!" Li Jiawen hugged Zhao Moyun and kissed him.

"How can I accept this gift…" Lin Fen was clearly embarrassed.

However, Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "Lin Fen, just accept my son's gift. If you don't accept it, you're not giving me face. I won't shop with you anymore. Come, I'll put it on for you."

When Lin Fen heard this, she smiled and did not hesitate anymore. She let Chen Xiao do whatever he wanted.

"By the way, I've also prepared a gift for everyone." Qin Lin smiled when he saw this. He also got up and walked into the room to take out the gifts he had prepared.

He first gave it to Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen, then to Zhao Xianhong and Chen Xiao. "Dad, Mom, this is a gift specially prepared for you."

When Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong arrived, they also did not expect their son-in-law to prepare a gift for them. After all, they had never seen any son-in-law do this.

The surprise on their faces could not be concealed. No matter what their son-in-law had given them, it meant that he was filial to them. How thoughtful.

As parents, the two of them were sincerely happy for their daughter.

"I knew you wanted to prepare a surprise for my parents' wedding anniversary," Zhao Moqing said, then asked Qin Lin curiously, "What's in it?"

"Open it," Qin Lin said.

"Hmph, you're still pretending to be mysterious." Zhao Moqing snorted and impatiently opened the gift box. An exquisite and beautiful yellow jade ring was imprinted in her eyes.

Chen Xiao, Lin Fen, and Zhao Xianhong opened the gift box and looked at the exquisite ring inside in surprise.

"It's so beautiful. There are even words!" Zhao Moqing was pleasantly surprised. When she took out the ring and saw the words, she couldn't help but hug Qin Lin and kiss him.

Qin Lin also smiled as he took out his ring and put it on. He placed it on Zhao Moqing's finger and said, "Do you like the couple ring?"

"Okay!" Zhao Moqing nodded with a face full of gratitude. Qin Lin requested for a night full of love, and she agreed to reward him.

Zhao Xianhong and Chen Xiao naturally saw the words engraved on their rings. It was their wedding anniversary.

Chapter 145

The two of them looked at each other and were very glad that they didn't forcefully separate their daughter from Qin Lin back then. Otherwise, who knew which family's daughter would benefit from such a good son-in-law?

"Mom, Dad, let me take a look." Li Jiawen curiously took the rings from Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong's hands. "Wow, this is Dad and Mom's anniversary. Qin Lin, you're so good at coming. Moqing, I'm so envious of you. Your husband is too romantic, unlike your brother, who doesn't have any romantic cells."

"Didn't you say that I was the best just now…" Zhao Moyun muttered softly. Then, he looked at Qin Lin bitterly. He was still not prepared enough.

This brother-in-law knew how to do things. It looked like he would have to ask him for advice later. Next time there was a festival, he would have to share romantic ideas with him. Otherwise, he would have to kneel on the keyboard sooner or later.

...

The next day.

As soon as Qin Lin arrived at the villa, he went to the Sea of Flowers to take a look. After Zhang Guizhu joined, she would accompany the little squirrels in the Sea of Flowers after the tourists came and left. At the same time, she would tidy up the three Squirrel Houses.

According to her, pine nuts stored in the Squirrel Houses were best cleaned up immediately after a rainy day. Such factory-produced pine nuts could easily spoil in a humid environment and make squirrels sick.

And squirrels wouldn't have that knowledge.

Qin Lin hadn't noticed this before, but he was glad that nothing had happened to the squirrels when they took away so many pine nuts.

When Qin Lin arrived at the center of the Sea of Flowers, Zhang Guizhu said in surprise, "President Qin, you've trained these squirrels to be very smart. Two of them actually know how to check trash."

She took out a small paper ball and threw it to the ground. Red Hair didn't move, but two wild squirrels had already scurried down and actually snatched the small paper ball.

In the end, one of them won. It ran towards a trash can with a small ball of paper and threw it in. When it ran back, it even squeaked at Red Hair.

Zhang Guizhu tried to throw another ball of paper. This time, the one that had lost previously seized the opportunity and rushed over to grab it.

Qin Lin was a little surprised to see this.

He had no idea that wild squirrels knew this skill.

It seemed that the method of training wild squirrels with Red Hair was very effective.

Squeak!

Red Hair clearly didn't want to bother with the wild squirrel and jumped onto Qin Lin's shoulder.

Zhang Guizhu was teasing the other squirrels with pine nuts. It was obvious that she was very used to this job.

Qin Lin rubbed Red Hair's head and teased the little guy before leaving the Sea of Flowers.

When she returned to the lobby bar, she saw that Zhao Moqing had also arrived at the villa. He had already brought four assistants to calculate the financial data and did not disturb her.

It was New Year's Day. A lot of things had to be tallied.

He simply sat down, turned to his mental screen, and played the game.

He controlled the game character to leave Ore Town. This time, when he reached the park, he saw an NPC with a long tall hat standing in front of the park's bulletin board.

It turned out to be the mayor of Ore Town, Thomas.

In previous versions, Mayor Thomas had been the NPC who informed the game characters to go to Ore Town to inherit the ranch, or the NPC who was personally responsible for the operation and conduct of the festival. He had always been concerned about the affairs of the residents of Ore Town.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to walk to the noticeboard and saw a message pop up:

[In order to promote prosperity, the Ore Town has decided to prepare for the dog-catching Frisbee competition. The pet merchant has already opened up the dog-catching Frisbee training. Everyone can bring your dog to his place to learn skills. When the competition is held, everyone can bring your dog to participate—Thomas Announcement!]

Dog-catching Frisbee competition?

Qin Lin remembered that in the old version, there was a reward for this competition. Among them was a fruit of the Tree of Strength.

Moreover, in addition to the dog-catching Frisbee competition, there were also horse racing competitions. There were still rewards and a fruit of the Tree of Strength.

Something wasn't right.

Qin Lin suddenly thought of something.

Where was the dog?

Where was the dog in his game?

He thought some NPC would give him a dog?

Where was the NPC?

Chapter 146

Qin Lin's mood immediately soured.

The game actually owed him a dog.

If it wasn't for the plot that had suddenly triggered this dog-catching Frisbee competition, he wouldn't have noticed this problem yet.

The key was that the pet merchants sold so many pets, but they didn't sell dogs.

Wasn't that embarrassing?

There was probably no way to complete this plot mission.

In the future, he would not be able to participate in the dog-catching Frisbee competition anymore.

Boohoo!

A dog barked suddenly.

"Wang Cai, slow down. Don't hit anyone," Lin Fen scolded.

Qin Lin looked over and saw Wang Cai running back to Lin Fen's feet in a fawning manner, as if it knew its mistake.

This seemed to be a ready-made dog?

Qin Lin immediately shouted, "Wang Cai."

...

The dog came running at his shout and crouched in front of him, whining.

"Let's go. I'll take you to buy toys." Qin Lin took Wang Cai's dog leash and pulled it out of the hall. Then, they left the villa and drove to the warehouse.

Previously, he had brought things out of the game. He could bring out living things like fish, mackerel, and squirrels. This time, he wanted to see if he could bring living things in.

When he reached the warehouse, he squatted down and hugged Wang Cai. With a thought, he disappeared from the warehouse. When he reappeared, he was already in the game.

"Woof!"

The dog barked. It seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of it. As it barked, it shook its head wildly around.

After a while, when it was sure there were no problems, it began to scurry across the pasture, as if very curious about its new environment.

"Wang Cai, come here." Qin Lin walked to the entrance of the ranch and called out to Wang Cai.

His palm shot forward, blocked by a transparent barrier.

That wall of air remained, preventing him from leaving the ranch.

Woof.

Wang Cai scurried to his feet.

He pointed outside and said, "Wang Cai, get out."

He wanted to see if the dog could get out.

Wang Cai understood what he meant and walked out of the ranch. Suddenly, he bumped into something and was blocked.

It seemed the dog had no way out.

Qin Lin frowned. He wondered if it was okay for him to quit the game and leave Wang Cai inside.

Otherwise, the dog would not be able to continue with the Frisbee plot.

With that in mind, he exited the game.

When he looked at the game screen in his mind again, something that surprised him happened. A black dog appeared at the feet of the game character.

The dog was rubbing against the game character, happy red hearts popping out of his head.

This was how the dog acted cute in the game.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in the game.

[Obtained a dog, its breed is a wolfhound. Name: Wang Cai. Binding in progress… Binding complete.]

In other words, this black dog was Wang Cai. However, Wang Cai had completely turned into a 2D cartoon in the game.

Seeing this, Qin Lin decisively tried to control the game character to pet the dog. After a happy heart appeared on the dog's head, he clicked to let the dog follow him. Then, he controlled the game character to leave the ranch and head to Ore Town to find the pet merchant.

This time, the dog in the game followed the game character out of the ranch and into the Ore Town without any obstruction.

This was amazing.

He wondered if he could bring people into the game and then do the same?

However, he would not ask for trouble by trying such a thing.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to bring the dog to the pet merchant. When he clicked on the pet merchant, there was indeed an option for the dog's Frisbee skill.

Clicking on this option triggered the plot conversation:

[Do you have a dog too? You can learn the skill of catching Frisbees here. After teaching your dog, it can participate in the town's dog-catching Frisbees competition! However, you need to pay me my corresponding fee!]

[Do you want your dog to learn the skill of catching Frisbees?]

Qin Lin directly chose to learn.

The pet merchant spoke again.

[Don't worry and let me train the dog. Now I'll take you to the training ground!]

The scene changed. Like an old game, a small scene map appeared for training dogs, where they could train to catch Frisbee.

Following the pet merchant's instructions, he threw the Frisbee and controlled the dog to run, leap, and catch it.

After repeating this small game a few times, the plot progress bar was full. A notification appeared:

[Congratulations, your dog has learned the Frisbee skill. Its ability has increased!]

Wang Cai learned it already?

Qin Lin focused his attention on the words 'dog's ability has increased'.

In the old version of the game, training a dog with a Frisbee was something that would make the dog smarter, able to make a more powerful catch.

He wondered how much this increase in ability would affect Wang Cai.

The pet merchant also appeared again.

[The teaching is over! I'll give you a Frisbee. Train it diligently. When the dog plays in the Frisbee competition, try to get a good ranking!]

Qin Lin didn't know much about training pets, but he had seen the video about training dogs to catch the Frisbee. It didn't seem simple. This didn't seem like throwing the ball out for the dog to pick up. It would take a long time to train for the dog to catch the Frisbee.

Had Wang Cai learned it so easily?

Qin Lin controlled the game character to go to the park's announcement board again. The content had changed:

[The dog-catching Frisbee competition hasn't started yet. Please wait patiently!]

Seeing this, Qin Lin controlled the game character to bring the dog back to the ranch. Then, he entered the game with a thought.

Chapter 147

When he reappeared in the ranch, he found himself holding a Frisbee.

Woof!

Wang Cai's cry rang in his ears. He saw the dog looking at the Frisbee in his hand and jumping around as if it wanted to play.

When Qin Lin saw this, he swung his hand and the Frisbee flew out. The dog also rushed out to chase after the Frisbee.

The moment the Frisbee landed, the dog actually leaped up and bit it. It was fast and accurate. Then he ran toward him again and handed him the Frisbee in his mouth when he got close.

Qin Lin took the Frisbee and the dog jumped at him again. It was obvious that it still wanted to play.

He swung the Frisbee out again.

He used more force this time. The Frisbee flew farther and faster, but the dog also seemed to be faster than before. It still caught up with the leap and caught the Frisbee accurately.

The dog popped the Frisbee into his hand again.

Next, Qin Lin tried various ways to throw the Frisbee. It was either fast, slow, high, or low, but the dog could bite the Frisbee accurately every time.

The dog was a little awesome now.

Most importantly, it did not take the dog long to learn this skill. It only took a few minutes.

If those dog trainers knew this, their jaws would probably drop.

...

After playing with the dog for a while more, he brought it out of the game and back to the warehouse, not caring that it wanted more.

Woof, woof!

The dog clearly still wanted to play and whined at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin ignored the dog and walked straight to the car.

Seeing this, the dog could only immediately follow dejectedly.

Qin Lin started the car and soon returned to the villa. However, just as he was about to get out of the car, he heard a click. He turned around and saw in disbelief that Wang Cai had actually opened the car door and rushed out of the car with the Frisbee in its mouth.

"What?" Qin Lin was stunned.

Did the dog open the door itself?

In just a short while, Wang Cai had already entered the villa.

Qin Lin was a little shocked. He was sure that Wang Cai did not have this ability in the past. Had this dog really been affected by the increase in his gaming ability and become smarter?

This was really possible. After all, his physical fitness had increased after eating the fruit of the Tree of Strength.

Wang Cai had already rushed into the villa and arrived at Lin Fen's feet. He bit the Frisbee and called out to her.

Apparently, if the male owner didn't play with it, it would find another owner.

Why couldn't it play Frisbee without its male owner?

Lin Fen saw the Frisbee in the dog's mouth and smiled. "Did Xiao Lin buy this Frisbee for you?"

She knew what the Frisbee was for. She took it and tried to throw it gently. The dog immediately jumped up and bit the Frisbee.

That surprised Lin Fen.

The dog had this skill?

Woof!

Wang Cai barked excitedly when it saw that Lin Fen was willing to play with it.

It seemed to know that it wasn't going to have much fun in the hall. It ran straight for the unopened space in the backyard. When it reached the door, it didn't forget to bark at Lin Fen, as if urging her to follow.

Miraculously, Lin Fen understood what the dog meant and ran toward the backyard with it.

She sensed that something was different about the dog. There was something clever about him.

When Qin Lin returned to the villa's hall, Yu Shui found him and reported, "Boss, there's already the first batch of triangular plum potted plants in the garden."

The triangular plum pot plantation was naturally the area where Yu Shui was in charge of transplanting the potted plants.

Yu Shui was the person in charge of the potted garden and was in charge of more than a dozen landscapers.

After the past two weeks, the first batch of potted plants was finally transplanted successfully.

His initial idea of a triangular plum pot was not to make money, but to serve as a tourist souvenir for the scenic spot.

Tourist memorabilia had a special meaning for tourists, but it was also very important for scenic spots.

After tourists bought this triangular plum potted plant, flower friends would develop feelings for one potted plant every day.

Only people who had really raised potted plants could understand such feelings.

These people looked at the seven-colored triangular plum potted plants produced by Qinglin Villa every day. When they were free, they would subconsciously think of Qinglin Villa.

If they wanted to go out and play, the first place they would think of was Qinglin Villa.

Which was another reason why so many tourist attractions were selling tourist souvenirs.

"Let's go and take a look!" When Qin Lin heard this news, he followed Yu Shui to the potted garden.

The potted garden was nothing like it had been at first. Simulated wooden fences had been set up outside, and dense bougainvillea had climbed over the fence.

These were vine bougainvillea. Unlike mature bougainvillea, vine bougainvillea were difficult to use for creating a sea of flowers. However, they had the advantage of being able to climb vines and be used for decoration.

Now, the fence around the potted plant garden was covered with vines and triangular plums. It was a little beautiful, but the remaining water made it look good.

After entering, he could see the 50 seven-colored triangular plums of Quality 2 and two seven-colored triangular plums of Quality 3 in the distance.

Unlike the dense leaves and carefully trimmed art of the triangular plums in the Sea of Flowers, these triangular plums were a little casual. After all, they were only used to transplant the triangular plum potted plants.

In the middle area, a reservoir had been dug. There was also an irrigation system laid by water pipes. Beside these water pipes were pots of exquisite potted plums.

The flower pots all had a map of the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea with the words 'Qinglin Villa' on them.

These words were also used by tourists who could subconsciously influence purchases.

Qin Lin asked Yu Shui, "Tell me about the potted plant transplant."

Chapter 148

Yu Shui also introduced it to Qin Lin. "Boss, the triangular plum branches grow very quickly. The Sea of Flowers basically needs to be trimmed once a week, but this transplant doesn't need dense branches or artistic styling. If there's control, we can trim the branches from different parts and transplant them. We can basically transplant some every day."

"Those 50 2.5-meter mature plants can basically transplant 20 pots a day, or a total of 1,000 pots a day. Those two 3.5-meter mature plants can also transplant 35 pots a day. Two can transplant 70 pots a day."

Qin Lin immediately calculated carefully.

The attributes of the potted plants that were transplanted at 30% were greatly reduced, but they were still at 2%. Previously, the price was 400 yuan a pot, so 70 pots was 28,000 yuan.

The Quality 2 transplanted potted plant was already Quality 1 after its attributes decreased greatly. The price was set at 100 yuan per potted plant, so 1,000 potted plants meant 100,000 yuan.

If these potted plants could be sold, they could bring in 128,000 yuan for the villa on that day.

This was an unexpected surprise.

With that in mind, Qin Lin called Gao Yaoyao and asked her to come over.

Since the first batch of potted plants could already be released from the garden, they had to make some arrangements. As for the sales, Gao Yaoyao had to arrange for the service staff to cooperate.

Gao Yaoyao soon arrived at the triangular plum garden.

She had also guessed the reason. As soon as she arrived, she asked, "Boss, are the triangular plum potted plants about to be released?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Tomorrow, arrange for two waiters to cooperate with Yu Shui and the others to take 100 potted plants to test the effect."

Gao Yaoyao nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."

...

100 potted plants were quite a lot. If they were placed side by side, they could occupy a lot of areas.

The next day, when Qin Lin brought the mature items from the game to the villa, Yu Shui had already brought 100 triangular plum potted plants to an empty space at the entrance of the villa.

Five of the pots were transplanted with triangular plums. One could tell the difference at a glance. Compared to the other pots, they stood out.

Two waiters nearby were also muttering something:

"…This is a seven-colored triangular plum potted plant specially cultivated by our villa. Only our Qinglin Villa has it in the country. Moreover, as long as we take good care of our triangular plum potted plants, they can basically bloom all year round…"

Naturally, he was reciting the introduction in case the tourists asked him some questions he couldn't answer.

"Boss, you're here?" Yu Shui hurriedly greeted Qin Lin.

"Continue with your work." Qin Lin nodded at him and entered the hall to give Gao Yaoyao some instructions before leaving the villa to return to the county.

He had to go to that summary meeting in the county later. He had to go back and take a shower and change his clothes.

Yu Shui watched Qin Lin leave, feeling a little nervous.

He was now in charge of the triangular plum pot plantation and had more than a dozen people under him. If the sale of this potted plant today was not ideal, he would be embarrassed. He would definitely not be able to raise his head in front of the others.

Even worse, the villa might not even need a potted garden anymore.

Soon.

The villa welcomed the day's tourists. Several taxis pulled into the parking lot and a group of young people got out.

"Students, this is Qinglin Villa." Chen Xue (Chapter 35) introduced her university classmates as soon as she alighted.

The last time she went home, she accidentally discovered a good place like Qinglin Villa. She posted some videos of the Sea of Flowers in her dormitory's group of best friends. When she returned to school, she was tortured by these three dormitory best friends. They said that there was such a beautiful place in her hometown, but as their best friend, she didn't even bring them to play once in two years.

But she was really wronged. She didn't even know there was such a villa two years ago.

She heard that this place was called Fuhai Villa in the past and did not have much business.

In any case, she really admired the boss of Qinglin Villa for making a villa with little business so popular.

Especially after Qinglin Villa became more and more popular, these three best friends of hers started nagging even more. This was because Youcheng County had become very famous in their class.

Because Qinglin Villa was in Youcheng County.

Qinglin Villa had made her, a native, proud.

Naturally, after the students in the class found out that Qinglin Villa was in her hometown, many of them agreed to come to Qinglin Villa one day to play and let her be their guide.

Chen Xue brought her classmates into the villa. The moment they entered, they saw the area where the triangular plum potted plants were placed.

Quality 2 seven-colored triangular plum potted plants had the attributes of gorgeous +2, ornamental +2, and entry +1.

The seven-colored triangular plum potted plant of Quality 1 also had a gorgeous +1 attribute enhancement.

Therefore, the group was inevitably attracted by these triangular plum potted plants.

"Chen Xue, this potted plant is so beautiful. Why didn't you tell me that Qinglin Villa sold this seven-colored triangular plum potted plant?" A girl in a short skirt and thick leggings jogged over.

Another girl also said, "It's true, it's small and exquisite. This pot looks prettier than the potted plants I raised in the past. As someone who loves to grow flowers, Chen Xue, I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Chen Xue felt wronged. When she came here previously, there were no such potted plants at all. Moreover, these potted plants were indeed very beautiful. She even wanted to buy one and put it in the dormitory.

At this moment, Yu Shui explained to Chen Xue, "Everyone, this is a seven-colored triangular plum potted plant specially cultivated by our villa. It was only launched today and has not been sold before."

The first girl who ran over immediately said, "Uncle, are these the only sales today? Can I order a pot now?"

Chapter 149

Another girl, who also loved flowers, chimed in, "Yeah, can we order now? What's the price?"

"I want to order a pot too." Chen Xue also said that if there were only 100 pots, the other tourists would not be able to get them if they came.

"You can order them. There are two types of potted plants. One is 100 yuan per potted plant, and the other is 400 yuan per potted plant. If you want to order them…" Yu Shui immediately introduced them, unable to stop talking for a moment.

The two attendants at the side looked at each other. Uncle Yu didn't seem to need their help. He seemed to be able to handle it himself.

As time passed, more tourists arrived. Then they were surprised to see the seven-colored triangular plum potted plants in the area around the entrance.

Quite a few tourists were intrigued.

In today's society, most people kept potted plants on their balconies, whether for decoration or air purification.

This beautiful-looking seven-color triangular plum potted plant was obviously very good. Moreover, they had to bring some souvenirs back when they came out to play.

Therefore, there were surprisingly many people who ordered potted plants.

Yu Shui was relieved. This was a good start.

…

After Qin Lin returned home and took a shower, he also headed to the Youcheng County government. The summary meeting that Chen Li mentioned was held here. It was mainly a summary of economic development. Other than the people from the various departments in the county, there were also the bosses of the companies in Youcheng County.

"President Qin, over here." Zhong Lei went forward when he saw Qin Lin. "Chief Chen is also speaking today. He's preparing a script now. He asked me to pick you up."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded and followed Zhong Lei upstairs to a very large hall.

At the front of the hall was a large multimedia screen that was broadcasting the results of Youcheng County's economic achievements last year. On the tables below were name tags with names written on them.

If these names were placed outside Youcheng County, it would definitely not be a big deal. However, in a small place like Youcheng County, for their names to appear here, they could be considered notable figures.

Moreover, these seating arrangements were somewhat particular. It depended on either financial resources, size, or influence.

Surprisingly, Qin Lin saw his name at the first seat in the second row.

At this moment, many people were already sitting in those seats and chatting with each other. What made Qin Lin embarrassed was that almost all of these people were middle-aged men, and none of them were young.

Wasn't he going up a little too abruptly?

Some of the people inside naturally noticed Qin Lin and Zhong Lei, but no one cared. They treated the two of them as county staff.

"Hey, who do you think this Qin Lin is?" A boss asked curiously.

Another person was also intrigued. "I've never heard of him before. He's ranked 11th this year. Other than the 10 people who are still the same, it's only a matter of time before Youcheng County's Food Oil gets pushed to the third row."

A man with glasses said, "I know. This Qin Lin is the boss of Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Food Company!"

These words caused a commotion around them. Their businesses were all in Youcheng County, so they naturally knew about Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Food Company because they were too popular.

Those who were well-informed knew that the county had directly approved more than 50 million yuan to the other party. Just the importance the county placed on it alone was enough to surpass most of them.

"President Hu, is this news true?" someone asked curiously.

President Hu said with certainty, "Of course it's true. Do you know President Sun of Youcheng First Construction Company? He was the one who did the construction of Qinglin Villa. I heard President Sun mention it before and even said that he admired him."

Someone asked again, "What does the boss of Qinglin Villa look like?"

President Hu explained, "I heard that he's very young. It's precisely because of this that President Sun admires him."

"How young is he?" someone else asked curiously.

As these people were chatting, they suddenly looked towards a seat where a young man who seemed to have just graduated from university was sitting.

The name tag on that seat belonged to Qin Lin, who was first in the second row.

In an instant, the scene seemed to be a little quiet, followed by soft exclamations.

"F*ck…"

"It's him?"

"So young …"

Qin Lin's age had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations!

He was awfully young!

Chapter 150

Qin Lin knew this would happen.

At such an occasion, a young man among a group of middle-aged people would definitely attract attention.

He could only nod politely at the men.

"There you are, President Qin," came a familiar shout.

Sun Ming walke lso came. Qin Lin saw Chen Li and Sun Xian, whom he had heard Chen Li mention several times.

Sun Xian was also famous in Youcheng County and had a very good reputation in the hearts of the people.

Because before this Sun Xian had come, Youcheng County had been very poor. No high-speed roads, no train stations, no business squares… all the entertainment had been very scarce.

It was said that before that, the county still owed more than 20 billion yuan. As for how they owed it, no one knew. Anyway, they did not do anything serious at that time.

However, after Sun Xian came, they had high-speed trains, train stations, and a commercial square. Moreover, the other party had accurately formulated an all-domain tourism+ plan to quickly improve the people's livelihood and entertainment.

These were things that the people of Youcheng County could accurately sense.

The economic summary was actually very simple. It was an official celebration of merit. It roughly described the achievements of the various companies last year and their contributions to the county. Then, what the county had achieved.

Naturally, Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Food Company were also mentioned, especially Qinglin Villa.

This also made those bosses look at Qin Lin in unison.

It was almost noon when the summary meeting ended. The county had also prepared lunch for everyone in the cafeteria.

If it were any other time, these bosses would definitely not go to the canteen to eat. But today's occasion was different. They chatted with each other as they walked towards the canteen. Being able to eat in the county canteen today represented their status in the county.

Naturally, the county would not really cook according to the usual canteen standards today. They had hired a chef outside and specially prepared the ingredients.

These had to be flexible.

"President Qin, let's sit over there and talk about the villa project." Sun Ming invited Qin Lin into the canteen.

"Please, President Sun." Qin Lin nodded and followed Sun Ming to a table.

Sun Ming sat down and said, "President Qin, the construction of your villa and the county's support fund have basically been completed. They're all at the finish line. You can start setting up."

Qin Lin nodded. The county's support fund project included rafting, bridal chamber, staff dormitory, restaurant, and a comprehensive sea of flowers.

The comprehensive Sea of Flowers was built not just by Youcheng First Construction Company, it was also contracted by three greening companies. It would take a longer time to complete. After all, many flowers had seasonal requirements.

Now that the project that Youcheng First Construction Company was responsible for had been completed, their villa was about to be set up. This way, they would be able to put it into use in half a month when the test review reached the standard.

Sun Ming continued, "In addition, the foundation of the manor villa has been laid according to President Qin's design requirements. Does President Qin have any new ideas about the ranch?"

Chapter 151

Qin Lin had a new idea about the ranch.

This time, after Wang Cai learned the skill of catching the Frisbee, it made him think of horse racing in the game. Perhaps he could also learn horse racing skills when the time came.

Therefore, he wanted to build a riding track that might be useful in the future.

Besides, it should be good to have some horses on the ranch. They could provide tourists with pictures or experience riding horses.

However, he did not know if the original land was enough. The riding track was too small and petty.

Qin Lin told Sun Ming his thoughts.

As they chatted, Chen Li and a few people from the county department came in to entertain them and chatted with everyone at every table.

"President Sun, Boss Qin, how's the food today?" Chen Li walked to Qin Lin and Sun Ming's table and asked with a smile.

Sun Ming teased, "Chief Chen, how about the food? No matter how delicious it is, can it be better than the food in President Qin's manor?"

"That's true." Chen Li smiled and said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, eat first. I have something to discuss with you after eating."

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded.

After the meal, Chen Li found Qin Lin and brought him to his office. After inviting Qin Lin to sit down, he handed him a document.

Qin Lin took the information in confusion. When he saw the contents, he asked, "Chief Chen, is my villa qualified?"

This information was about the application for 4A Scenic View.

The application for a Grade 4A scenic spot was not simple, and it was not something that any scenic spot could apply for. First, one had to apply for a report from the city-level tourism department. If the city-level application was approved, one had to contact the provincial-level tourism department to evaluate it.

Reading on Myb o xno vel. com ,Please!

The most troublesome thing was the various conditions.

One had to know that after Youcheng County's comprehensive tourism + program, there were more than 30 scenic spots of all sizes in the county, but only four of them could successfully apply for a 4A scenic spot.

Chen Li smiled and said, "Qinglin Villa isn't qualified now, but it's barely enough after the expansion project is completed. Boss Qin, you can take a look at the conditions for the application. What your villa lacks now is written on it. I've also given you some suggestions."

Qin Lin nodded and read the document.

There were many conditions to apply for the 4A scenic area. The information given by Chen Li listed every condition in detail.

First condition: transportation and transportation problems.

The information given by Chen Li indicated that there were two roads that led directly to the county city. There was also a suggestion written on it: The mountain villa applied to the county city for a special bus.

Second condition: facilities perfected.

The bridal chamber, the restaurant, the shopping center, the rafting project, the sliding grass, the jungle adventure, the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, and so on.

There were also many suggestions written at the back: Identification information, guidance information perfected, sales center salesperson training, holding a certificate…

Third condition: tourist safety.

Security, surveillance, scenic patrol.

Also given advice: Set up an infirmary.

Fourth condition: hygiene.

When the villa opened for business, it was approved by the county. There was basically no problem. 'Qualified' was written at the back.

Condition five: Post and Telephone Service.

Here, Chen Li wrote that the county would coordinate communication and complete it as soon as possible.

Condition six: tourist shopping.

This had the sales center.

Chen Li's advice: Build at least one specialty shopping product.

When he saw this, Qin Lin felt that the triangular plum potted plants were just in time. He wondered how the trial sales at Yu Shui's side were going.

…

Condition nine: tourist satisfaction.

Suggestions: Establish tourist scores, complain, suggest services.

Condition 10: Market attractiveness, with sufficient visibility and character: (Qualified)

Condition 11: Receive more than 500,000 people a year (Qualified).

These conditions had to be met before the 4A rating would pass.

The last two conditions were undoubtedly the most difficult, but to Qinglin Villa, the last two conditions were the simplest.

After reading Chen Li's information, Qin Lin suddenly realized that his villa would really be qualified to apply for a 4A scenic area.

If he could apply, he would naturally not give up. This was also a form of affirmation to his villa. And 4A meant a national scenic area.

As for 5A, it was at the international level. It had to be upgraded on the basis of 4A. First of all, it had to be at least 4A for three years.

If the 4A upgrade was successful, he would dare to think about 5A three years later.

"Chief Chen, thank you." Qin Lin closed the documents and thanked Chen Li sincerely.

If he wanted to apply for the 4A scenic area, just this information alone could save him countless time. If he were to do it himself, he would definitely waste countless time.

Chen Li waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I want Qinglin Villa to rise to 4A more than you do. When Qinglin Villa succeeds, our Youcheng County will have the fifth 4A scenic spot. This is also my political achievement. Perhaps I can rely on the influence of your Qinglin Villa to go further."

These words were a little sensitive, so Chen Li stopped. Then, he said, "In addition, there's something else that the county wants to ask Boss Qin."

"Chief Chen, what is it?" Qin Lin asked curiously. Then, he said, "If I can do it, I'll definitely cooperate with the county."

Chen Li explained, "Boss Qin, several factories of Qinglin Food Company have started production, right?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "More or less. The last seven production lines are still in labor. They're developing sour and spicy ketchup."

The ketchup he'd gotten from the game earlier had two secret recipes: sweet, sour and spicy.

The sour and sweet sales had basically opened up. Now, there were 35 production lines producing sour and sweet products. In addition to Cheng He, the provincial agent, Deng Guang had also bid for three more foreign agents. They were already on the right track.

Therefore, he planned to use the remaining seven production lines to produce hot and sour flavors. He had already given the formula to Deng Guang and asked him to adjust the equipment.

What Chen Li wanted to say must also be related to Qinglin Ketchup.

As expected, Chen Li said, "Boss Qin, actually, the county has always been paying attention to the production of Qinglin Ketchup. We know that you've already ordered the raw materials from elsewhere. The county wants you to place the raw materials in your hometown."

The word 'hometown' was well used. He was playing the emotional card.

The county had assigned a special person to supervise the direction and completion of the funds given to Qinglin Food Company's Enterprise Guidance Fund, so they naturally knew the detailed situation of Qinglin Food Company.

By the time those factories were all working double shifts to start production, 850,000 bottles of 200g ketchup could be produced on that day. At least 300 million bottles could be produced that year, which was 60,000 tons of ketchup (more than 1.3 million tons of ketchup were produced in the country last year, and 60,000 tons was 1/3 of the ketchup produced by the top 10 brands last year).

Think about it. How many raw materials did 60,000 tons of ketchup require?

If these raw materials could all be placed in Youcheng County, how much wealth, jobs, and livelihood advantages could they create?

Besides, if Qinglin Ketchup could squeeze out one of the top 10 brands, there would be even more demand in the future.

The county naturally wanted to keep this benefit in Youcheng County.

Qin Lin frowned and said, "Chief Chen, it would naturally be best if we could buy ketchup on the spot. We can also save a lot of costs, but Youcheng County can't provide so many raw materials now."

Chen Li nodded and said, "The county naturally knows about this situation. Therefore, the county intends to take out another batch of support funds and let the county take the lead in getting people to plant tomatoes. When the time comes, we'll supply them to Qinglin Food Company."

"Of course. We won't let Qinglin Food Company suffer a loss either. When we sign the contract, we'll do it according to the market price. We'll do whatever needs to be done. As for the problem with the planting, the county will step in to resolve it. Qinglin Food Company will only be responsible for producing and selling at full capacity."

"Alright, if the county has this plan, I'll cooperate with the county." Qin Lin agreed readily. This was a win-win situation.

If conditions allowed, he would naturally want to contribute more to his hometown. However, he had to pay more attention to some aspects of real cooperation.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the county, but he couldn't completely trust the people who planted it. If someone got greedy and planted it and catalyzed it, it would be big trouble.

When the time came, he would have to agree in advance that he would definitely not accept it.

Seeing that Qin Lin had agreed, Chen Li smiled. "Then I'll thank Boss Qin on behalf of the county."

This way, the county could start planting tomatoes in the future.

Tomatoes were actually a lot of places that didn't dare make a big deal out of it, because there were so many places where they were planted that they could easily stall sales.

News of last year's sluggish sales of tomatoes was also endless.

But who asked Youcheng County to produce Qinglin Ketchup? This natural advantage was meant to be a big deal.

Chapter 152

Qin Lin quickly left the county government.

He had to settle the shortcomings of applying for the 4A scenic spot first.

Actually, Chen Li's insufficient advice was not difficult. It was just very cumbersome.

Among them, applying for a bus route was the easiest. He needed to just write an application and the county would take care of it.

He had already entrusted Qin Ren's studio with identifying and guiding information.

The salesperson training at the sales center was simple. He just needed to spend some money.

It was more troublesome to set up an infirmary. After all, it was not easy to find a reliable doctor.

As for the tomato planting matter, it was not something that could be settled in a short period of time. After all, the county had to take the lead.

When the news of the support fund was released, there would definitely be a lot of people looking for it. Just the review and inspection alone would require the county to be busy.

Fortunately, the tomatoes were planted in February. There was still time.

When Qin Lin returned to the villa, he saw Yu Shui smiling as he led his gardeners to the entrance area to move the triangular plum potted plants.

When Yu Shui saw Qin Lin, he couldn't wait to report, "Boss, our triangular plum potted plants are very popular. We sold 205 pots in one morning, 190 pots for 100 yuan, and 15 pots for 400 yuan. We should be able to sell 400 to 500 pots today."

As he spoke, Yu Shui was all smiles and was clearly very happy.

The triangular plum potted plants were selling well. He and the potted garden were stable.

"Yes, well done." Qin Lin was not stingy with his praise.

Reading on Myb o xno vel. com ,Please!

He had limited the number of tourists to 1,500, but had still sold 400 to 500 pots. This conversion rate showed that triangular plum potted plants were really popular.

Tourist and shopping conditions in 4A Scenic Area required at least one specialty shopping product to qualify. This seven-colored triangular plum pot fall was unexpectedly in line with the requirements of the specialty shopping products.

After returning to the hall, Qin Lin found Zhao Moqing and discussed with her about applying for the 4A scenic area.

Moreover, in addition to the matter of scenic area 4A, they also needed to start setting up the rafting project, the bridal chamber project, and the restaurant.

The rafting kayaks, life jackets, hard hats, passenger transport vehicles, as well as the restaurants, daily necessities for the bridal chamber, and other items had to be purchased.

Then there was the matter of hiring more staff. Whether it was waiters, cash registers, or cleaners, they had to double that.

In addition, there were employees in charge of rescue, driving, carrying kayaks, patrolling the river, taking photos, and so on.

Qin Lin found the daily customer numbers of a few famous drifting projects.

The Mulan Divine Ox Creek Valley was 7 kilometers long and had an average of 1,500 passengers per day.

Jiuyi Creek Valley was 13 kilometers long. The highest number of visitors on holidays was 5,000.

Ligui Bamboo Sea Creak Valley's entire journey was 8 kilometers, with an average of 1,200 passengers per day.

In other words, with enough tourists, he had to be able to accommodate an average of 1,500 people per day and 5,000 people per holiday.

This required a lot of employees, at least 35 or more.

Next, he would be busier. He would have to work with Zhao Moqing on some matters.

…

As time passed, everything in Qinglin Villa was progressing steadily. At the same time, Qinglin Food Company was also developing steadily.

The sour-sweet production line was already full and could be produced in double shifts.

Moreover, Deng Guang had also informed him that the sour and spicy tomato sauce production line data had been adjusted.

In Youcheng County's industrial area.

Qin Lin drove to a factory and stopped. On the door of the factory were the words: Qinglin Food Co., Ltd., Factory 6.

The 42 production lines of Qinglin Food Company were placed in six different factories.

That was the limit of a small place like Youcheng County.

Therefore, Qinglin Food Company's plan this year was to pay off the money, then find a piece of land to build a factory, move all the production lines over, and manage them uniformly.

Naturally, in addition to the county's corporate guidance fund, there was also the initial investment from Qinglin Villa.

Although he was the boss, they were still two businesses. The accounts had to be clear.

"President Qin." Deng Guang was already waiting at the entrance of the factory with a few people. When they saw him, they got out of the car and welcomed him.

Deng Guang had already addressed him as President Qin.

Because he was the general manager of Qinglin Food Company.

The development of Qinglin Food Company had always been personally handled by Deng Guang, so its ability was not bad.

Now that the factory had been expanded, there were already so many employees and many positions needed to be refined. In order to better manage it, Deng Guang's position naturally had to be promoted.

Zhao Moqing and a few assistants were still in charge of the finances. Even if the production matters were handed over to Deng Guang, he would still have to handle it himself.

"President Qin."

"President Qin."

The few people behind Deng Guang also greeted Qin Lin respectfully.

These people were the director of this factory, the production line leader. The director was the production line leader of the original factory, and the few production line leaders were the original outstanding employees.

The greatest benefit of a fast-growing company to its employees was that they were willing to work, could endure hardships, had a certain level of ability, and stood out quickly.

After Deng Guang was promoted to the general manager, the factory manager was not reappointed.

It was impossible for six such small factories to appoint a factory director just for one factory. They had only set up a director's position, which was equivalent to a workshop director.

Such a small factory was actually no different from a workshop in a large factory.

The seven production lines of the 6th factory were all used to produce hot and sour tomato sauce. The hot and sour production line data had been debugged, so he naturally had to come over and take a look.

Chapter 153

Deng Guang brought Qin Lin to a production line. He took some of the sour and spicy ketchup and handed it to Qin Lin. "President Qin, try it. I've gotten someone to try it. It's better than the sour and spicy taste of the top 10 brands. However, I still need you to decide."

Qin Lin took it and tasted it. He wasn't a person who likes spicy food, but after eating this ketchup, he felt that the taste was very good.

Even if he didn't pick up the game and look at the notification information, he knew that this must be Quality 1.

Just to be safe, he also said to Deng Guang, "Give me two bottles of the finished product. I'll go back to the villa to study them and call you again."

"Yes!" Deng Guang nodded.

Qin Lin left the factory with two bottles of sour and spicy ketchup. He went to the warehouse first and entered the game with the two bottles. He saw the note. It was of Quality 1.

He was relieved. He called Deng Guang so that he could start the production.

After leaving the warehouse, they headed for the villa. This time, Qin Lin didn't drive on the same road as before. Instead, he drove on a newly built road.

This road was specially built by the county to go to the villa. As it led directly to the villa, they could not go anywhere else. It was almost equivalent to this road being specially made for the villa. Moreover, it was shorter than the original road.

Before long, they arrived at Qinglin Villa. The exit of this road was a parking lot.

This parking lot was even larger than the previous one. Moreover, it was specially built. There were all kinds of signs, parking spots, and security booths. It was also several times larger.

Qin Lin parked the car in a parking space. As he walked in, he saw a very large building, more than five times larger than the previous hall.

This was the Drifting Project Hall, which would also be the service hall of the villa in the future.

Qin Lin walked into the hall. The hall felt empty, smooth, and grand.

At this moment…

Reading on Myb o xno vel. com ,Please!

In the hall, Gao Yaoyao was cleaning with a group of new waitresses.

"Sister Qing, move these potted plants over there with me." Gao Yaoyao kept instructing a girl.

The waitress hurriedly said, "Okay, Supervisor Gao."

Just like Qinglin Food Company, after the expansion of Qinglin Villa, there were naturally changes in the employees' positions.

Gao Yaoyao was one of the first employees of the villa. She had grown up with the villa step by step. Previously, she had been promoted to a foreman and had always performed well. Now that the villa's expansion project was completed, she had also been promoted to a supervisor and was specialized in managing waiters.

Other than Gao Yaoyao, the first batch of waiters had also been promoted to foreman. From now on, they would be in charge of the Drifting Project Hall, the restaurant, and the sales center…

In addition to the waiters, the number of security guards increased again. Chen Dabei naturally became the head of security.

Many of the first batch of old employees had been promoted.

After the construction of the villa ranch and the comprehensive Sea of Flowers was completed, the basic scale would be completed. At that time, they would have to refine the various departments and raise their positions. Gao Yaoyao, Chen Dabei, and the others would still have a chance to be promoted to department manager.

"Boss!" Gao Yaoyao put down the potted plant in her hand and greeted Qin Lin with a smile.

Qin Lin nodded at her and did not forget to instruct, "Remember to reserve a spot in the infirmary."

Gao Yaoyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss. I know."

"Okay." Qin Lin was still confident in Gao Yaoyao, so he walked out of the drifting hall and continued walking forward.

He could see that there were also cleaning ladies busy in the bridal rooms. They laid out blankets, pillows, and daily necessities.

"Boss, are you here to inspect our work?" An auntie saw Qin Lin and greeted him jokingly.

"Sister Hong, I don't have to worry about you," Qin Lin said with a smile. Sister Hong was originally the head cleaner of the guest room at the Jizhong Hotel. Previously, she had been in charge of the dishes, but now, she had returned to her job.

Sister Hong smiled and walked over to one of the bridal rooms with her blanket. She didn't actually know anything about being in charge. She only knew how to take the lead. If she wanted someone else to do something, she would do it first and then complete it with everyone else.

Qin Lin actually took a fancy to Sister Hong. He didn't need a cleaner to do anything else. He just needed them to work hard.

He checked a few of the decorated bridal rooms. There were no problems with the cleaning.

There was also a testing device hanging on the walls of the bridal room. It was to test if the harmful gas met the requirements. Only when it met the requirements could the guests move in.

Due to the size, materials, and construction method, the harmful gas had already dissipated when it was built. Now, it has already reached the standard.

Qin Lin then went to the dining room to take a look. There were also people decorating. The table he had ordered had been delivered and was being installed.

When he returned to the original hall, Qin Lin saw Zhao Moqing typing on his laptop.

Qin Lin walked behind Zhao Moqing and looked at the computer.

On the computer was a proposal.

The villa would expand, and the rafting, bridal chamber, and restaurant would be opened at the same time. As long as the publicity was good, the number of tourists in the villa would definitely increase. There would be no lack of business plans. Otherwise, the operation would definitely be chaotic.

At that time, there would be a limit of 1,500 people iin the Sea of Flowers. With the bridal chamber and other projects as a neutralization, it would not be a problem for the rafting project to have a limit of 2,000 people.

Mountain Villa Day receives about 2,000 to 3,500 visitors.

150 drifting tickets, 50 Sea of Flowers tickets, and 400,000 tickets per day.

Naturally, many people might not be able to understand the numbers here. Most people would subconsciously think that the people who visited the sea of flowers in the morning played drift in the afternoon, and the people who played drift in the morning played drift in the afternoon. There were still 1,500 people.

Chapter 154

This was under the circumstances that there was still a limit of 1,500 customers. Those who played in the Sea of Flowers in the morning might not be able to drift in the afternoon. Those who drifted in the morning might not be able to play in the Sea of Flowers in the afternoon.

What if he had to continue playing? He would have to stay overnight. He would either have to consummate his marriage in 150 rooms in the villa or in the county.

And once they stayed overnight in the county, the county would definitely do their best to seduce these tourists and spend a lot of money.

This must have been the county's plan from the start.

As for how many visitors they could receive, it depended on how many people the popularity of the drifting project would attract.

Zhao Moqing pressed save on her computer. When she saw Qin Lin, she said, "I've made the relevant plans, but after the rafting and bridal chamber are opened, we still have to think of an event to increase our popularity as much as possible."

"I have to think about it." Qin Lin nodded and thought about it. He immediately had an idea.

The event could still be a lottery.

The prize for this lucky draw was even more attractive than the two melon kings.

Last time, the melon king was for supreme enjoyment.

This time, they could draw the Supreme Set: Xiangshui Tribute Rice + Quality 2 okra + Quality 2 wild fish + Quality 2 eel + Quality 2 conch + Quality 2 watermelon + Quality 2 medicinal wine.

This combination was supreme, right?

This set meal was something that even the rich could not afford.

Once any tourist won the prize, even rich people like Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy this set meal.

It was a high-end meal.

Reading on Myb o xno vel. com ,Please!

Naturally, such a reward would definitely attract attention. There could not be too many of them.

When those rich people saw other things, even those who had never eaten Quality 2 would not care. However, once the famous Xiangshui Tribute Rice was released, the rich people who saw it would definitely pay attention.

This was something they couldn't buy even if they wanted to.

Qin Lin immediately told Zhao Moqing about this idea.

"Qin Lin, you're so smart. As expected of my husband." Zhao Moqing's eyes lit up when she heard Qin Lin's words.

She had eaten all these things before, so she naturally knew how good they tasted. Besides, she roughly knew the price. A meal would cost 10,000 to 15,000 yuan, right?

The key was that these things were not in value. Qin Lin said that these things were rare, like Xiangshui Tribute Rice. Most rich people could not buy them. This was the most attractive thing.

Actually, she was a little impressed with her husband. He could even get his hands on Xiangshui Tribute Rice often.

"Then I'll prepare for the promotional event?" Zhao Moqing asked Qin Lin. The hidden meaning was naturally that he couldn't screw up when the time came. He had to prepare everything.

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded.

Seeing that he was sure, Zhao Moqing started typing on the computer again.

Qin Lin smiled. Zhao Moqing was undoubtedly a good wife. She could help him a lot in both the villa and the food company.

Then, Qin Lin walked towards the backyard. He wanted to take a look at the watermelons.

Quality 2 seedless watermelon seeds were taken out of the game and planted. It was already a little longer than the expected one-month growth period. It was time for the melon to mature.

Entering the courtyard, he reached the artificial water field once more. There was still no movement from the Xiangshui Tribute Rice. It had obviously failed again.

He now wondered if his method was wrong, but his mother, an old farmer, didn't think there was anything wrong with the planting and cultivation process.

He could only continue to try and touch that probability.

Then, he looked at the watermelons at the side. These watermelons were already very big, more than 10 kilograms. They were about the size of the watermelons produced by the game.

He stepped forward and began to pat gently on those watermelons, listening to the sound it made.

Unripe watermelons were less hydrated and mature watermelons were more hydrated. The sounds were different. One was muffled and the other crisp. The general idea was similar to the logic of knocking on walls to find a secret room in television dramas.

Unfortunately, after knocking a few times, the sounds were too muffled, indicating that they were not too mature.

Finally, as he struck the sixth watermelon, his eyes lit up. The melon was ripe.

Qin Lin decisively plucked the melon. Now, it was time to see what level of watermelon this Quality 2 seed could grow in reality. Even if it degenerated and only became Quality 1, it would still be worth it.

Even if it was not even a Quality 1, it would only be an ordinary melon. Then, its value would be greatly reduced if it was planted and grew quickly in winter.

Qin Lin came out with the watermelon. Zhao Moqing looked up and saw it. "The watermelon planted in the backyard is ripe?"

Qin Lin nodded. "It's a little immature. It should be a few more days. Let me pick a mature one and see how it tastes."

"Me too." Zhao Moqing closed her laptop and followed him in.

It wasn't as if she hadn't tried watermelons before, but she still wanted to try the ones that were ripe in winter and grown by herself.

This was purely out of curiosity.

Chapter 155

Qin Lin carried the watermelon into the kitchen. It was not time for dinner yet, so there was only a helper on duty in the kitchen.

Master Lin brought people to the kitchen in the dining room to tidy up. Not only did they have to do the kitchen decorations, but they also had to take care of hygiene and safety.

"Boss!" When the chef saw Qin Lin enter, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Qin Lin nodded at the other party and washed the watermelon slightly. He took a kitchen knife and cut the watermelon into two.

After cutting the watermelon, he picked up a piece himself and handed one to Zhao Moqing.

However, after taking a bite of the watermelon, Qin Lin frowned slightly.

This was because the texture and taste had not reached Quality 2.

As expected, in a Level 3 land without the game, the quality of the watermelon seeds would drop if they were planted outside.

Zhao Moqing said in surprise, "Qin Lin, this melon tastes good."

"Boss, why are you in such a good mood today?" Master Lin suddenly walked in with a bag.

Qin Lin took a piece of watermelon and handed it to him. "Try it. It's ripe in the backyard."

Master Lin was interested now. He took the melon and tasted it curiously.

He naturally knew that a batch of melons had been planted in the backyard of the hall in the middle of winter. It seemed to be a new breed.

"Boss, this melon tastes really good." Master Lin praised it after tasting it.

Qin Lin nodded.

The melon did taste good.

Although his attributes had not degenerated to Quality 2, it was definitely Quality 1. The taste was already the most delicious among ordinary melons.

Coupled with the fact that it was not affected by the seasons and its growth period was halved, when the seeds were cultivated and pushed away on a large scale, it could also sweep through the watermelon market.

It was a supermarket even bigger than ketchup.

According to official statistics, after China became the world's largest watermelon producer and consumer, in 19 years, the watermelon industry produced 60 million tons a year, imported 220,000 tons, and exported 270,000 tons.

In the past two years, not only had this figure been maintained, but as the economy developed, industry output had also increased.

A few small county cities became the economic headlines because of their watermelons. The county with the highest watermelon production value reached 3.2 billion just by planting watermelons.

One had to know that Youcheng County's GDP was only at the 25 billion mark. Just the watermelons alone had reached one of the seven percent.

This made Qin Lin look forward to the nurturing of this game seed even more.

After finishing a piece of watermelon, Master Lin said, "Boss, this watermelon is so delicious. It can be planted in winter and only for a short period of time. Why aren't there many people planting it? It will definitely make money."

Look, even a chef like Master Lin could tell the value of this watermelon.

"This is a new breed. It hasn't been promoted yet," Qin Lin said casually and brought Zhao Moqing out of the kitchen.

"Put down your work and try this melon." Master Lin looked at the remaining melon and said to the kitchen chef.

The chef was also a little curious about the melon as he listened to their conversation. He washed his hands and picked up the melon to try it.

"This melon is really good. Better than what they sell out there."

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing had just returned to the hall and entered the bar when Xiao Yun (Chapter 109) handed a piece of paper to Zhao Moqing expectantly. "Sister Moqing, this is my work plan."

"Okay, let me take a look." Zhao Moqing took Xiao Yun's proposal and nodded.

After the villa expanded again, the cash registers naturally increased again. The sales center, restaurant, and lobby all needed cash registers. Naturally, they also needed a foreman.

Xiao Yun, who was the earliest, had always done well and became the head cashier.

As for becoming a manager, she naturally had to make plans at the beginning. Zhao Moqing herself was writing a plan, so those managers naturally had to write a plan.

The proposal didn't require any bombast, just simple work content.

For example, what time they were going to do it, how they were going to arrange a few posts, who they were going to arrange to do it, and how they were going to work shifts during the holidays.

It was such a simple matter. When he had not adapted to his position in the beginning, he would not have lost his sense of propriety with the proposal.

Xiao Yun was naturally a little nervous when she saw Zhao Moqing looking at her proposal.

This was also the first time she had been a manager. It was the first time she had written a work plan seriously. Naturally, she wanted to be recognized.

She now had a sense of belonging to the villa.

Employees often only started to feel a sense of belonging to the company after becoming a manager.

Most employees only worked to earn money. It was impossible for them to have a sense of belonging to the company unless their salary was high.

Therefore, didn't a certain someone often talk about making her employees feel a sense of belonging? On a show, she even said that employees could only generate higher profits for the company if they felt a sense of belonging. However, she only said that she would increase the salary, without actually doing it. Therefore, she didn't even keep her position as the leader.

After Zhao Moqing finished reading the proposal, she returned it to Xiao Yun and said, "It's not bad. You can just follow the schedule."

"Thank you, Sister Moqing." Xiao Yun thanked her with a smile, her face full of energy.

At this moment.

A young man walked into the hall. It was Zhou Chengjun.

Dressed in a smart suit, his black hair combed neatly, he looked like an elite youth.

If he was walking with his hands in his pocket instead of holding a folder, and walking with a secretary, he might have resembled a young president.

Coupled with his pleasant face, many young female tourists around him could not help but take a second look at him.

Xiao Yun also stole a few glances.

Chapter 156

"President Qin." Zhou Chengjun walked up to Qin Lin.

"Why are you free today?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.

After investing in Zhou Chengjun, other than getting Zhao Moqing to send someone to supervise the usage of the money, he did not interfere with how the other party operated.

"I'm here to report to you about my work." Zhou Chengjun politely handed the folder in his hand to Qin Lin and said, "The production line from the factory has also arrived. They've already purchased the raw materials. This is my proposal."

Qin Lin took the document and started reading.

Zhou Chengjun named this sauce 'Old Sauce of Youcheng County'. There was even a label of 500 years of heritage behind it.

This name was obviously to add a style to the sauce and give it a foundation to increase the attention when promoting it. It was also a commonly used method for this kind of food.

If the product promotion was improving, it would also be easier to apply for an enterprise support fund from the county.

Zhou Chengjun was obviously very thoughtful.

Only their family knew if there was a 500-year-old inheritance.

"Just follow your plan. You should be better at this than me." Qin Lin returned the proposal to the other party.

Since the management rights went to the other party, he was just an investor and didn't want to interfere.

However, he was satisfied with the other party's attitude. He wondered if the other party would maintain such an attitude in the future.

For the next few days, the villa was completely busy preparing for the opening of the new project.

Many tourists who had arrived at the villa also realized that a new place had opened up. Many tourists would consummate their marriage. Videos of the new hall and restaurant were posted online and attracted attention.

In the new lobby of the villa.

Qin Lin walked into a wide corridor.

Unlike the original hall, which had to be equipped with a kitchen, the new hall was large. There was a large office area behind it, divided into offices.

However, most of these offices were empty. Only the general management office, the finance office, the finance director's office, and the chairman's office were used.

The finance office was naturally used by Zhao Moqing's assistants.

The general management office was for Gao Yaoyao and the other supervisors. It was quite large and separated by seats.

Naturally, the foreman had no office to use.

And to use an office alone, one had to be at least at the manager level.

The villa could be maintained for the time being, and there was no manager. These things needed to be taken slowly.

If Gao Yaoyao could continue to manage the supervisor well, she could consider being promoted to manager. If she was really not capable enough, it would be a little difficult for her to become a supervisor. Then, she would have to consider external recruitment.

Qin Lin walked to the finance director's office and walked in without knocking. Zhao Moqing looked up at him. "I knew it was you who didn't knock."

Qin Lin smiled and walked towards Zhao Moqing.

She was wearing a white shirt and a small suit today. It was a pity that she wasn't his secretary.

Qin Lin walked forward and pulled Zhao Moqing up. Then, he sat on the chair. Before Zhao Moqing could react, he pulled her onto his lap and hugged her.

"We're in the office. Don't let anyone see us." Zhao Moqing glared at Qin Lin.

"You also said that I'm the only one who doesn't knock when I come in," Qin Lin said with a smile. Then, with a special meaning, he said, "It's good to have an office. Once the door is locked, we can have a lot more fun."

These words made Zhao Moqing reach out and pinch his waist.

How could she not understand what this guy was saying?

Don't even think about it.

However, Zhao Moqing enjoyed being hugged by Qin Lin like this.

Zhao Moqing did not forget about the important matter. "Many tourists have already taken videos of our new project and uploaded them online. We'll also upload an introductory video of our new project first as a warm-up."

"Yes." Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

…

The video posted by the tourists had already attracted a lot of attention. After the official account of Qinglin Villa posted a warm-up video of the new project, it immediately caused an even more heated discussion.

Especially the fans who were paying attention to Qinglin Villa.

After so long, Qinglin Villa's official account had already exceeded 1.65 million fans. There were no zombie fans at all. Those who could follow Qinglin Villa were definitely people who loved tourism.

"Qinglin Villa finally has a new project. If not for the fact that the Sea of Flowers is really beautiful, I would have complained previously."

"There's finally accommodation. The last time I arrived, it was already afternoon. The tickets for the Sea of Flowers were sold out. I was tired from the bus ride, but I didn't get any accommodation at the villa. I even had to go to Youcheng County."

"The accommodation seems good. It's small and exquisite. There's also a small courtyard where you can cook alone."

"Not bad. And drifting. Too bad I didn't get to go last time."

"…"

Zhao Moqing's pre-release video became popular in Qinglin Villa. In a short period of time, many people knew about it, and the pre-release effect was achieved.

Later on, they would release an event announcement to ignite the popularity.

The next day at noon.

Qin Lin brought Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen into the new restaurant. There were already many employees eating inside.

The new restaurant was also large and divided into three sections.

The first section was the visitor's ordering area. There were neat rows of seats, all custom-made to the standards of high-class restaurants, and three times the capacity of the original lobby.

The second section was the buffet barbecue area. This area needed ventilation. Outside the restaurant, there were half-pack cubicles made of bamboo materials. They also had a different flavor, but they also had three times the original capacity.

Chapter 157

As for the original location, when the original hall was converted into an aquarium, it would have to be demolished to see what new projects were built.

The third part was naturally the staff dining room.

The staff dining room was at the back, not at the front, where the staff now ate because of the firing ceremony at the new restaurant.

Master Lin was very serious about the firing ceremony. Early in the morning, he even brought the chef to worship the cook.

Therefore, the employees would be eating in front of the restaurant today.

When Qin Lin arrived with Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen, most of the employees inside quietened down and didn't dare to make too much noise.

Most of these were also new employees. Coupled with their young age, new employees would always be very reserved in front of their leaders. It will get better after a long time.

When Qin Lin arrived, Master Lin brought two helpers to serve the specially prepared dishes.

The kitchen was not the original three. After the kitchen was moved to this new restaurant, in order to deal with the increase in tourists, they naturally had to recruit people.

Now that he had recruited six more helpers, the original three helpers had already been promoted to chefs. He would probably have to recruit more apprentices in the future.

The original three helpers were actually quite good at cooking. This was because the salary of the villa helpers was also high. They would rather be helpers here.

After placing the dishes on the table, Master Lin said, "Boss, remember to tell me if there's a difference in the taste of the first meal the restaurant opened."

Qin Lin nodded.

...

He did not know that the dishes cooked by the same chef in the new and old kitchens would taste different.

"The villa is so lively now," Lin Fen comforted the villa employees who were eating.

It was all an achievement for a son. His father would have been thrilled if he were still around.

After the meal, Qin Lin returned to his chairman's office and took out his phone to watch the video Zhao Moqing had sent earlier.

There were already a lot of likes and comments.

"Aren't you going to complain about the name of this bridal chamber? It's a house that's specially made for burrowing!"

"I suggest we bring a female companion…"

"Cannon fire!"

"The artillery hasn't stopped firing in a night…"

"…"

The comments section was busy, but compared to the beginning, the restaurant and rafting projects didn't seem to be paying much attention. Everyone was attracted to the bridal chamber. The comments section had been led astray, and it seemed to be getting worse.

Moreover, the comments section was indeed crooked to the extreme in the end. In the end, someone actually suggested that a girlfriend team go to the bridal room to fire the cannons.

The key was that someone actually agreed to such a speechless suggestion and even played a game of catch.

"Artillery One requests permission to join!"

"Artillery Two requests permission to join!"

"Three-years-old artillery applied to join!"

"Two-years-old artillery reporting!"

"…"

"Damn it!" Qin Lin cursed when he saw these comments. These people were showing off that they had a girlfriend, right?

What shocked Qin Lin even more was that when he was looking at the video comments section, it disappeared.

"What's going on?" Qin Lin was stunned. He clicked on the official address of the mountain manor and realized that he couldn't see the video that Zhao Moqing had sent. He hurriedly called Zhao Moqing to ask.

Zhao Moqing's helpless voice sounded. "The account's back end has received a notification that they are suspected of promoting a vulgar project. It will not take long before it is released."

"…" Qin Lin was stunned when he heard this.

His wedding night was very serious, alright? It was clearly those fans who had indecent thoughts.

Chapter 158

Qin Lin's head hurt.

Their villa's publicity was very serious, but the people on the Internet had led the comments section astray. Who could blame them?

They were promoting the bridal chamber, but the netizens insisted on being the artillery. Could he control them?

Naturally, many people knew that the promotional video of Qinglin Villa had been reviewed. Many people were watching the video and were about to join in when the video suddenly disappeared.

With popularity, therIf you see this message this chapter is being messed up, you don't need to report it, just come back in 10 minutes to read the correct chapter, sorry for the inconvenience

At that moment, he was on the phone while standing in front of the window. He spotted her running in and gave her not more than a side glance. He quickly moved his gaze towards the outside of the window and continued his serious conversation on the phone. 4

He acted as if picking her up from prison was nothing more than a matter of convenience.

Zhong Nuannuan finally felt relief in her heart when she once again saw this man, who was as tall as a pine tree and as noble as the gods. 9

There was a sudden pain in her heart that flooded into her eyes. If she had not done all she could to keep them under control, her tears would have fallen again.

"Nuannuan, how are you doing? You've been in prison for a month. Did anyone bully you? Are you hurt anywhere? Tell mum and I'll make sure to settle everything for you!" 1

"Nuannuan is my daughter. There is no way that the daughter of Zhong Kuijun would be so weak. Just look at Nuannuan's healthy face, she is in the pink of health. One look at her and anyone can see how well she is doing! Hahahaha… My girl, the Zhou family has withdrawn their suit against you. You have been pronounced not guilty for murder. Your dad is here to take you out of prison. Are you feeling happy?" 4

Zhong Nuannuan's sight was suddenly blocked as her father, Zhong Kuijun and mother, Jiang Shuwan, stood in front of her. One of them took her left hand and the other held her right. They were concerned over her as they kept asking about her wellbeing.

In the middle of the room, her older sister, Zhong Qianqian, whom they shared the same father but had different mothers, stood not far from where Chi Yang was. Her body was a little slighted and from where Zhong Nuannuan was standing, it looked as if they were standing side by side. 5

A 150-yuan ticket to drift. That was the regular drift price.

The bedroom cost 300 yuan a night. That was already more than the price of a hotel in Youcheng County. In fact, it was higher than many hotels in 4A View.

However, the people who saw the video were quickly distracted by Gao Yaoyao's next words.

"Alright, it's time to tell everyone the good news. Tomorrow, the new project will be opened, and the villa will also be open for a lucky draw. As long as you spend 100 yuan at the villa tomorrow, you will be able to produce a lucky draw. The winner will be able to enjoy a 50,000 yuan Supreme Set meal. The ingredients for the set meal are rare treasures that are difficult to obtain outside. There are only a limited number of slots. For three consecutive days, there will only be five lucky tourists every day."

Chapter 159

Gao Yaoyao's words stunned everyone. They were attracted by the two points of 50,000 yuan and the Supreme Set Meal.

But what was this Supreme Set meal worth 50,000 yuan?

Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, the video finally showed the combination of the Supreme Set.

Supreme Set Meal:

Xiangshui Tribute Rice: A unique rice produced in extremely small quantities annually.

3 catties of wild eel: The best wild food in the south. It's extremely delicious and has a very high nutritional effect…

Wild conch: The ultimate wild meal in the south. It's exceptionally delicious and has an abnormally rich protein content…

Special watermelon: A special new variety of watermelon, unusually delicious and produced in extremely small quantities.

30 catties

Luo Anning looked at the crazy crowd and her footsteps paused for a moment. Rong Yan held her waist tightly with one hand to prevent her from being knocked. Seeing her hesitation, he lowered his head and moved closer to her ear, "Aren't you very interested? Let's give it a try."

Looking at the crowd that was getting crazier and crazier, Luo Anning bit her lip and shook her head,"... I don't think so."

Didn't he not like to be crowded with others?

There were so many people. Even if he wouldn't be bumped, there would inevitably be physical contact at such a close distance. Could he bear it?

After considering all these, Luo Anning was a little disappointed and decided to return to the villa. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, her waist suddenly tightened and the man used force to hold her.

"Don't worry, no one will bump into you. I'm here."The man's deep and magnetic voice was like a treasured vintage wine. It was so mellow and seductive.

It was a little sexy and a little seductive.

Especially that sentence, with me here, it was worth a thousand words.

"... But you don't like to be crowded..."Luo Anning hadn't finished her troubled words when her lips were blocked by a slender index finger.

In the man's deep and phoenix-like eyes was a deep smile and... doting?

Before she could ask again, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Not long after, Xu Zhiyuan and the bodyguard immediately appeared behind the two of them.

"Young Master Rong, Young Madam, Good evening!"They greeted in unison.

Their voices were not low, but they were still drowned out by the cheers and cheers of the crowd.

Luo Anning turned around to look at the person who had just arrived. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Xu Zhiyuan and his bodyguards were all wearing ordinary casual clothes. The black and strict black suit that they wore during the day had long disappeared.

As for the bodyguards in black, they had changed out of their heavy black suits and put on ordinary clothes that were no different from ordinary people. The frightening sense of strictness had been greatly reduced!

Luo Anning could not help but sigh. "People really rely on their clothes and horses... different clothes make people have different temperaments."

Xu Zhiyuan coughed. Young madam, are you praising or belittling me?

"All of you follow me. Just don't let anyone get close."After giving the order, Rong Yan held his wife and walked into the crowd.

The bodyguard led the way, and Xu Zhiyuan followed closely behind the two of them.

With the strong body of the man in black leading the way, it was indeed much smoother. The two of them came to the long table filled with beer. At this time, the host gave the order and announced the official start of the beer competition.

new his stuff.

However, when this blogger's video was released, his comments section was in an uproar.

There was even shouting at each other under the first comment:

I'm the Wisest: "Haha. Someone even said Xiangshui Tribute Rice. Isn't that a freaking IQ tax thing? I've never seen anyone eat it."

Breeze Into the Night I'm the Wisest: "Idiot, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's because it's sent to the capital as soon as it's harvested. What appears outside is also on the rich people's tables."

I'm the Wisest Breeze Into the Night: "Hehe, rich people pay smart business taxes as if I have to pay too."

Drifting Bottle I'm the wisest: "Xiangshui Tribute Rice is real. It's also true that there's a special team of guards protecting it. You can't even eat the local ones."

I'm the Wisest Drifting Bottle: "You're really a joke. You actually blindly believe that there's a special team guarding it. What are you thinking? Are you brainless?"

The Immortal Smile Sword I'm the Wisest: "Behave yourself. Xiangshui Tribute Rice really exists. I heard from my boss that it seems to be very delicious. My boss can't forget it after eating it once, but he can't buy it."

Knife Beating People The Immortal Smile Sword: "Your boss is in a hurry to pay the IQ tax, right? It's not like I haven't eaten Xiangshui Rice before. I was lucky enough to buy 20 catties of it. It's not even as good as Wuchang Rice."

Qingzhou had already passed 1987 Knife Beating People: "You were lucky enough to buy 20 catties? I'll give you a chance to experience it for yourself."

"…"

Not only was the comment section of this blogger's video noisy, but the comments section of the other bloggers' videos and Qinglin Villa's videos were also in an uproar in a short period of time.

Chapter 160

Moreover, in a short period of time, other than the Supreme Set meal being trending, Xiangshui Tribute Rice was also trending.

It could be said that the Qinglin Villa lucky draw was even more popular than the previous time.

It was just that the melon king was indisputable last time. After all, no one could find such a big melon again.

This time, it was different. No matter how well the 50,000-yuan Supreme Set was said, no one could prove the value of this set. Those haters and freeloaders could always grab this opportunity to gain attention.

In Qinglin Villa.

Zhao Moqing had already rushed to Qin Lin's office. "Qin Lin, there's an argument online. The lucky draw promotional event didn't seem to have any effect. I told you that 50,000 yuan might be too high. The tourists who come to our villa are all ordinary people, so it's impossible for them to know the value of these things."

However, Qin Lin was not anxious at all. "Don't be anxious. This situation is within my expectations. Let them argue for a while longer. They haven't released their trump card yet."

Ordinary people had limited knowledge. He was sure that 99% of ordinary people had never heard of Xiangshui Tribute Rice before they saw this video.

50,000 yuan was indeed a high price. These things did not need to be so expensive in the villa.

However, it could not be cheap either, because these things were definitely difficult to find elsewhere. Even if they could find one or two things with similar quality effects, they would definitely not be able to find such a complete set.

For this alone, it was natural for the price to rise.

Naturally, the main thing was whether anyone paid the price.

As long as enough people of status paid the bill, that was the price.

This was a Supreme Set that 99.99% of people could not eat. Everyone would flock to it.

That way, it would be worthwhile.

This was also very simple. He could summon the two rich big shots, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.

As a form of gratitude, he placed a bottle of 20-year-old medicinal wine in front of the two of them. The two of them would definitely be happy. Moreover, if the two of them saw this set meal, they would definitely want to eat it too.

Therefore, he was in no hurry to let the Internet argue a little more and let the popularity accumulate a little. That would make it seem a little more worthwhile in the end.

But things often went beyond one's plans.

While they were arguing online, everyone's attention was attracted by a famous rich second-generation heir with the surname Wang. He posted:

"Is the Xiangshui Tribute Rice real? If it's real, whoever gets the Supreme Set Meal for 50,000 yuan, sell it to me. If it's not real, I'll make Qinglin Villa regret their fake publicity. Also, stop talking about the Xiangshui Tribute Rice. You're not even qualified to buy it!"

This rich second-generation heir had his own traffic. As soon as this post was released, it instantly exploded on the Internet and reversed the Internet discussion.

Because although this one had a bad reputation and was unreliable, his post at least proved one thing. The legend of the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was all true.

Therefore, was Qinglin Villa's Supreme Set meal worth 50,000 yuan? If the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was real, then the other things were definitely not ordinary. That would definitely be worth 50,000 yuan.

Wasn't this rich second-generation heir really willing to spend 50,000 yuan to buy it?

If Xiangshui Tribute Rice was a fake, there was naturally nothing to say.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing naturally knew about this post very quickly.

Qin Lin said disdainfully, "This guy really likes to join in the fun. It's as if he can eat it for 50,000 yuan. When the time comes, it won't be his turn to buy it."

Zhao Moqing suddenly exclaimed, "Qin Lin, look at this video. It's Mr. Chen."

Qin Lin leaned over and saw the video.

The video was on the Blue Ocean Corporation's official account. In a luxurious office, Chen Shengfei was facing the camera and saying, "Hello, everyone. I'm the chairman of the Blue Ocean Corporation, Chen Shengfei. Let me say something. I'll buy the Supreme Set of Qinglin Villa if anyone wins. There's no limit to the number."

A simple sentence had completely set off the entire network.

This time, everyone who questioned him shut up, because there was no way to question him.

Although Chen Shengfei of the Blue Ocean Corporation could not compare to Wang Yiyi, he was still a few levels higher than a second-generation heir.

If such a person said that, wouldn't it prove that the Supreme Set was really worth this price?

Soon, another heavyweight video arrived. "I'm the chairman of Shengwen Corporation, Ma Liewen. Let me also say that I'm willing to pay 55,000 yuan for the Supreme Set meal of Qinglin Villa. There's no limit to the amount."

This completely shocked everyone. Shengwen Corporation was also ranked in the top 50 of Min Province.

Qin Lin smiled when he saw this. As expected, how could foodies like Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma resist the temptation of this Supreme Set Meal?

Other than the eel and the conch, they had eaten these things before.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma went to promote the Supreme Set meal on their own without him saying anything.

Ming City.

After sending the video, Chen Shengfei lay comfortably on the boss's chair. He had originally planned to find time to go to Boss Qin's place and miss his things. Also, he was about to finish the wine and wanted to beg for a bottle.

However, when he saw the lucky draw at Qinglin Villa, he was worried that Boss Qin would run out of goods. He had already used them for the event. After all, there were very few goods.

Now, 50,000 yuan for the Supreme Set Meal was definitely worth it to him. Just the wine alone was worth a lot. He knew that someone would definitely sell it.

If he could buy it a few more times, he wouldn't have to beg Boss Qin in the future. He had saved up the number of times.

As Chen Shengfei was thinking, his assistant suddenly came in and reported, "Chairman, you asked me to pay attention to the situation of the Supreme Set at Qinglin Villa. President Ma has also sent a video. It seems that he wants to buy the winning spot 5,000 yuan more than you."

Chapter 161

"What?" Chen Shengfei picked up his phone and saw Ma Liewen's video. He immediately called Ma Liewen. "Old Ma, what do you mean? I posted the video first."

Ma Liewen's laughter drifted over. "Old Chen, it doesn't matter who posted it first. Don't worry about it. I'll take it all. I'll take you with me when the time comes."

Chen Shengfei was indignant. "Then why can't I bring you along?"

The two of them argued and finally made an agreement to split the goods. However, what the two of them never thought of happened. Someone posted another video online asking for purchase:

"I'm Liu Yi from Ming City's Bofa Group. I'm willing to spend 56,000 yuan to buy the Supreme Set at Qinglin Villa. Those who win can also contact me."

"Everyone knows that I, Zhao Furong, am in the real estate business in Ming City. I don't lack money. Whoever wins Qinglin Villa's Supreme Set Meal, contact me. 60,000 yuan per serving. I won't bargain."

"…" Chen Shengfei.

"…" Ma Liewen.

Both of them were stunned.

What a situation.

Why were these two guys here to join in the fun?

In Qinglin Villa.

Qin Lin was also a little stunned when he saw the two latest videos.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen did not surprise him. But who were Liu Yi and Zhao Furong?

However, this matter completely exploded online.

A meal worth 50,000 yuan, no, the rich people in Ming City had rolled it up. Now, a meal was worth 60,000 yuan.

Even if they themselves didn't eat it, someone would still spend 60,000 yuan to buy it. How tempting was that?

Moreover, wasn't this group of rich people trying to prove the value of this set meal?

This was really a set meal that ordinary people could not eat at all.

For a moment, the quality of the Supreme Set meal rose infinitely.

Many people who had doubted the Supreme Set previously silently deleted their comments. They even wondered if they would have a chance to win the prize if they went to Qinglin Villa.

If they could win five times in a day, they could earn 300,000 yuan.

There were also people who were equally stunned, and that was Lu Jianxian from Ming City. People at the level of Chen Shengfei, Ma Liewen, Liu Yi, and Zhao Furong had gathered for this Supreme Set meal, so the wealthy circle naturally received some news.

Lu Jianxian had been to Qinglin Villa before, but he had never thought that Qinglin Villa was classy. Chen Shengfei probably supported Boss Qin because of Li Qing.

But what was going on with Ma Liewen, Liu Yi, and Zhao Furong now?

As he was thinking, Lu Jianxian suddenly received a call. It was from a president of a company who had cooperated with him. He pressed the answer button and a surprised voice came from the other end. "Old Lu, have you heard the news? Zhao Furong, Liu Yi, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen are fighting over a mountain villa's supreme meal."

"They must think that the food is delicious!" Lu Jianxian was indifferent.

He had eaten at that villa before, but it was not memorable. The food might not be better than the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

The other party said, "It's really not that. Perhaps it's because of the Qinglin Medicine Wine. I received news that the Li family seems to have obtained a medicinal wine. It's very effective on their old man. It's comparable to the medicinal wine produced by the two Chinese medicine families in Shangxi Province. It's said that Li Qing and Chen Shengfei went to some villa to find it. It should be from Qinglin Villa."

"What?" Lu Jianxian's expression changed when he heard this. He hurriedly asked, "How did you get the news?"

He naturally knew about the medicinal wine produced by the two Chinese medical heritage families in Min Province, but he did not have the chance to come into contact with it. He only knew that the effect of the wine was heaven-defying. Even Chen Shengfei might not be able to obtain it.

The other party said, "It's all because Liu Yi's secretary let it slip. It seems that Liu Yi deduced from Chen Shengfei that Chen Shengfei has been to that villa a few times. Today, Chen Shengfei stated that he wants to buy the Supreme Set meal from Qinglin Villa. Isn't it obvious?"

"Are you kidding me?" Lu Jianxian was stunned and subconsciously opened his mouth.

He remembered that Boss Qin had asked him if he wanted to bring back a bottle of medicinal wine.

Chapter 162

Lu Jianxian suddenly looked annoyed.

The medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa actually had that kind of effect?

Everyone in Ming City knew that the old master of the Li family was old and had insufficient vitality. He also had to urinate frequently. It was said that the medicinal wine brewed by the two families of traditional Chinese medicine in Min Province was very effective against that old master.

The Li family begged for some every year.

However, the two families did not produce a lot of medicinal wine.

Whoever could get the medicinal wine produced by those two families as a gift to the Li family would be appreciated.

Did the medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa actually have such an effect?

The last time he went to Qinglin Villa with Chen Shengfei, Boss Qin had asked him if he wanted to bring a bottle back, but he had actually refused.

He suddenly felt stupid.

Based on the current situation, with that bottle of medicinal wine, he could probably ask Liu Yi, Zhao Furong, and the others for a favor. He could even ask for a ball of cooperation.

"I'll find time to go to Qinglin Villa to buy a bottle from Boss Qin," Lu Jianxian thought inexplicably. He felt that as long as the Qinglin Medicine Wine was really that effective, buying more would definitely be of great help to his business.

At this moment…

The popularity of the Qinglin Villa's Supreme Set Lottery Event exploded on the Internet with the internal reports of these tycoons in Ming City. It instantly rose on the trending list.

...

Any Internet celebrity would be suppressed at this time.

No one even paid attention to Young Master Wang anymore. Previously, he even wanted to spend 50,000 yuan to buy a meal to judge if Qinglin Villa had any fake publicity.

But now, there was no need for him to judge at all. Compared to the tycoons in Ming City, he was really nothing.

Moreover, it was shocking that he could get 60,000 yuan for a free meal.

60,000 yuan for a meal was nothing to the rich.

It was nothing to the rich people in the comments section.

However, to most netizens who earned less than 10,000 yuan, that was definitely an unbelievable price. They would never bear to eat such a meal in their lives.

That was half a year's or a year's salary.

The key was that although the price of this meal was only 60,000 yuan, it was impossible to eat it outside.

After all, according to the rarity of Xiangshui Tribute Rice, it seemed that even 90% of the rich could not buy it. Also, the things introduced by Qinglin Villa were also said to be very rare.

This no doubt stirred all curiosity and enthusiasm.

Especially those who wanted to travel or planned to visit Qinglin Villa.

It would be perfect if they could win another prize and sell it for 60,000 yuan while they were traveling.

Then, many people thought of the video that Qinglin Villa had just promoted. The bridal chamber and some tickets of Qinglin Villa had already been ordered online.

If they could book a bridal room, a flower bed ticket, and a drifting ticket, it would be 500 yuan. They would have five lucky draws before they even went.

Wang Yang had this thought. He had basically achieved freedom of wealth. Other than reading some novels and going to the nightclub to play, he liked to travel.

He silently deleted the comment about using the 'Knife Beating People' account.

Previously, he had confirmed that Xiangshui Tribute Rice was paying an IQ tax and had even argued with someone on Douyin. Now, it seemed that this Xiangshui Tribute Rice might not be an IQ tax, but it was really something he was not qualified to touch. After all, the rich and powerful people in Ming City could not all be fools.

This, in fact, made him look forward to it.

If he could win the prize, he would definitely not sell it and would definitely eat it himself. This Supreme Set Meal might not be something he could eat for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and found a girl he knew from the nightclub. "Baby, I want to go to Qinglin Villa to play. Are you free?"

Qinglin Villa's bridal chamber cost 300 yuan a night. It would be a pity not to bring a female companion. Moreover, if he brought a female companion, he would be able to buy an additional Sea of Flowers ticket and a drifting ticket. That would be 700 yuan. He would get seven lucky draws.

The girl replied on WeChat, "Sorry, Brother Chan, my boyfriend asked me to go."

"Alright, let's contact each other again in the future." Wang Yang replied and found another girl he met at the nightclub. "Baby, do you want to go to Qinglin Villa to play?"

The girl immediately replied, "Brother Chan, are you taking me? I'll go!"

"OK, I'll contact you tomorrow." Wang Yang settled the issue of the female companion and immediately clicked on the official account of Qinglin Villa. As expected, there was already an online booking link.

Wang Yang clicked on it, but when the page opened, he was dumbfounded. The bridal chamber and open tickets had all been sold out.

"Damn it." Wang Yang was annoyed.

Did these people need it so soon?

The more infuriating thing was that these people were showing off in the comments section.

"I've already bought it online. Seven draws guaranteed. Haha, the Supreme Set is mine!"

"I invited two female companions to play together. Three bridal rooms, three drifting tickets, and three Sea of Flowers tickets. Isn't it too much for me to win a prize?"

"Are you all fast men?"

"There's no doubt about it. That hand speed."

"…"

Wang Yang could only put down his phone helplessly.

…

In Qinglin Villa.

In Qin Lin's chairman's office, Zhao Moqing was already smiling. "Qin Lin, these people are too fast. The 120 rooms, 500 Sea of Flowers tickets, and 700 drifting tickets were all sold out in less than two minutes."

As the villa expanded, online bookings were also necessary. After all, some tourists who were far away needed to book tickets before they could make travel arrangements.

Chapter 163

However, only a portion of the orders would be placed online. At this stage, they had to buy tickets on the spot first.

Moreover, it was impossible to book all the bridal rooms. They would keep some for emergencies.

In addition, he could also start to consider the problem of the tickets. For example, a combination of tickets for Sea of Flowers + slippery grass + jungle adventure. A combination of tickets allowed the tourist to play everything.

However, he needed to study how to get the tickets and how much they cost.

A moment later.

Gao Yaoyao, Chen Dabei, Sister Hong, and Master Lin all knocked on Qin Lin's office door.

After letting these people in, Qin Lin said, "The popularity of the online publicity has exceeded our expectations. I think the tourists who will arrive tomorrow will exceed our expectations again. Therefore, it might be very busy tomorrow. Go back and hold a meeting with your subordinates to make arrangements."

"Yaoyao, you can't screw up your service here. Also, Chen Dabei, remember to bring people to cooperate with Captain Hong and the others tomorrow. Sister Hong, you have to work harder too. Some customers instructed you to change things, so you have to be diligent. Also, Master Lin, there can't be any problems in the kitchen. Even if you're busy, you can't ruin your reputation."

Gao Yaoyao and the others nodded.

Qin Lin gave simple instructions and let Gao Yaoyao and the others prepare.

Then, remembering something, he picked up his phone and called Lin Feng.

During the previous melon king event, the items taken out of the game were not enough. They were all temporarily supplied by Lin Feng's suppliers.

As soon as the call went through, Qin Lin said to Lin Feng, "President Lin, help me prepare five times the usual stock tomorrow morning. Moreover, our villa will have more daily deliveries after this."

"Don't worry, President Qin. I've already prepared it for you. I guarantee that it won't screw up." Lin Feng guaranteed immediately. Which of the suppliers that Youcheng County supplied to Qinglin Villa now didn't have their eyes on this channel?

Therefore, he had long been paying attention to the movements of Qinglin Villa and knew about the lucky draw tomorrow. Naturally, he had already made preparations.

There was a lot of competition in this industry now. It was very difficult to survive without being one step ahead of others.

After Qin Lin hung up, he called Wang Wei and the other suppliers one by one. He only felt relieved after making arrangements.

While Qinglin Villa was busy, the county was also making preparations.

Captain Hong rushed to the county government after receiving the call.

It was the chief of the Tourism Bureau, Chen Li, and his direct director who had summoned him. He belonged to the Tourism Police and had to cooperate with the Tourism Bureau to a certain extent.

He probably knew what it was about, too.

However, when he entered the Tourism Bureau's office, he realized that Sun Xian was also there.

"Captain Hong," Chen Li said with a smile.

"Chief Chen, Sun Xian!" Captain Hong greeted the people inside respectfully.

Sun Xian and Chen Li nodded at Captain Hong.

Chen Li smiled and said, "Captain Hong, you know about the activity at Qinglin Villa. It will definitely be very popular tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of tourists coming. You must make sure that the security is good."

"Sun Xian has already held a meeting to discuss it. They'll send you a few more people. Also, prepare yourself. After that, write a relevant plan about the tourist security office."

Captain Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly promised, "Yes, nothing will go wrong."

If the security office was established, it would also mean that he could advance to a higher position as the captain. Naturally, the premise was that nothing could go wrong tomorrow. If anything went wrong, there was no need to say anything.

At this moment, Sun Xian said, "We have to pay special attention to the county's security when the time comes. If nothing happens to Qinglin Villa, our county will ruin our own reputation."

The three of them were naturally gathered here because of the activities at Qinglin Villa.

The popularity of the Qinglin Villa event was definitely beyond their expectations.

Neither he nor Chen Li had expected Boss Qin to be able to find those good things and make those tycoons in the Ming City roll up their sleeves.

However, they would not investigate where they had found those things. What they cared about was the popularity of this matter. Tomorrow, after the opening of the Qinglin Villa project, how many tourists could Qinglin Villa welcome?

From the looks of the current situation, they had made the right choice in giving Qinglin Villa a support fund.

It should be known that there were only 150 bridal rooms in Qinglin Villa. When the time came, many other tourists would have to stay in this county. This was what they were most concerned about now.

The more tourists came, the more people would spend in the county.

Sun Xian thought for a moment and said, "In addition, send some people to investigate in secret. We can't have incidents of murder or harm to guests in Youcheng County. Whoever dares to do so will be severely punished."

Chen Li nodded. "I will see to it."

...

Time passed.

Almost at night, tourists arrived in Youcheng County and checked into several hotels in the county.

Those hotels immediately felt that there were more people staying tonight than usual.

These were all from places closer to Youcheng County. Most of them planned to finish playing with the Sea of Flowers and rafting tomorrow.

Naturally, the most important thing was to see if they could win the prize.

Therefore, the next day, these people woke up early in the morning. They either drove or took a taxi to Qinglin Villa.

Wang Yang woke up in the Zhongliang Hotel early in the morning.

His home was in the provincial capital of Min Province, not far from here, so he'd arrived last night.

He did not manage to book a ticket online last night, so he planned to go over earlier today to seize the initiative. Perhaps he would win the prize first?

After all, the probability of winning five prizes at the beginning was higher than the probability of winning five prizes later on.

"Get up," Wang Yang said, whipping the girl in his arms.

The girl murmured, "Hubby… ah… Brother Xiang, what time is it?"

"Get up. We're going to Qinglin Villa." Wang Yang didn't mind the girl's slip of the tongue. They were both regulars at the nightclub and knew each other's character. They were just scumbags.

Maybe he wouldn't really care about these questions until he'd had enough fun and wanted to get married.

At that time, he would find a quiet girl who would not stay in the nightclub.

Wang Yang quickly dressed up his female companion and left the hotel. He took a taxi to Qinglin Villa.

Not long after the taxi left the county city, there were two different directions to Qinglin Villa.

One was a sign that said "Drifting".

Another sign marked "Sea of Flowers".

The Sea of Flowers was naturally the original road that led to the old parking lot, which was close to it.

The new parking lot was closer to the drift.

The driver would also ask the tourists when they arrived where they wanted to go to play first.

Wang Yang chose the road that led to the rafting project. He and the girl reached the parking lot of the villa. It didn't take them long to see the new lobby. When they walked in, the lobby was already crowded.

There were also quite a few sounds of annoyance:

"Damn, I actually missed."

"So did I."

"Let's play for now. We can draw a lottery after lunch."

"…"

These tourists naturally drew the lottery on the spot after buying the drifting tickets.

But clearly, winning the prize was not easy.

Wang Yang also went in to buy tickets immediately. He and his female companion each bought one ticket and spent 300 yuan. They could draw three times.

He scanned the QR code to pay and saw a small program pop up.

He had already checked the relevant information before coming and knew that this was the lottery program of Qinglin Villa.

Looking at the three lucky draw chances, Wang Yang clicked on it without hesitation.

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

Three consecutive draws and three thanks.

"F*ck!" Wang Yang was a little helpless. He could only give up for now and wait until the rafting was over.

…

Early in the morning, Qin Lin also took out all the things in the game and sent them to the villa. Today, he made an extra trip and sent 100 watermelons over.

Last time, more than 50 watermelons were sold for Quality 2. This time, it should sell even more. After all, this time, it should attract many people who are not short of money. Quality 2 watermelons was the fastest way to farm the lottery.

If these 100 Quality 2 Watermelons could be sold, this alone would be more than 200,000 yuan in revenue.

After delivering the goods, he went to the office to look for Zhao Moqing.

Previously, he had promised to bring her to play with the rafting project once. He naturally could not go back on his word to his wife.

"Did you bring all your clothes?" Qin Lin asked Zhao Moqing the moment he saw her.

Zhao Moqing took out a bag and said, "Yes, I brought both of ours."

"Let's go!" Qin Lin smiled and led Zhao Moqing out of the hall. Once they were outside, they blended into the tourists like a real tourist couple.

Actually, it was also beneficial for him to play as a tourist on the day of the rafting opening. He might be able to find some problems.

Chapter 164

Qin Lin held Zhao Moqing's hand and walked out of the hall, heading straight to the left. There was a sign indicating that they were heading to the beginning of the drift.

They followed the tourists to the waiting area, where the tourists faced two choices.

One took a scenic bus up the mountain to start drifting.

One was to choose to buy a ticket for a small train and take it to sightsee the ecological park scenery built in the county.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing naturally chose to take the bus. They had seen too many people living in Min Province. The so-called ecological park was actually just so-so.

The two of them followed some tourists onto a bus.

"Welcome. This is the bus to the drifting point. We'll set off in a while," the bus driver said dutifully when he saw Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing walking up.

The driver naturally recognized his boss and was about to greet him when he saw his boss raise his hand and nod without saying anything.

Qin Lin pulled Zhao Moqing to the last two seats and sat down. After a while, the bus seats were full, and the driver started the car and drove to the starting point.

There were tourists in the car who were already chatting.

"Did any of you win a prize?"

"No, we didn't. We missed three times."

"I booked tickets to the bridal chamber, the Sea of Flowers, and the rafting. I drew a total of seven times and didn't win. It seems that the winning rate is very low."

"It's definitely low. After all, there are only five slots a day. Each is worth 60,000 yuan."

"…"

Immediately, there were many sighs.

Some people did not pay much attention to it. They had originally wanted to come to Qinglin Villa to play. The lucky draw was just a bonus, so they did not force it.

However, some people began to think about how they could spend to make up the number of lucky draws. These types of tourists were here for the lucky draw. They were obviously indignant and gambled heavily, thinking that they could win.

Someone suddenly asked, "Who do you think the boss of Qinglin Villa is? They all say that this Xiangshui Tribute Rice is very difficult to buy. Even 90% of the rich can't buy it. Now, not only has Qinglin Villa bought it, but they are also using it for activities."

Another person said, "That means that there are many bosses in Qinglin Villa, or they have extremely strong connections that surpass 90% of the rich."

For a moment, there was lively discussion in the car.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing sat there and didn't participate. They just listened seriously as if it was none of their business.

On the other hand, the driver looked back a few times through the rearview mirror with an inexplicable expression on his face. Wasn't the boss sitting in the car?

Someone else said, "Indeed, if Qinglin Villa doesn't have powerful connections, it's impossible for them to organize this lucky draw. I wonder what the boss of Qinglin Villa looks like."

A well-dressed woman said matter-of-factly, "He must be old and must have a big beard. Xiangshui Tribute Rice is really as amazing as the Internet says. Young people don't have that kind of power. They can't get it."

When Zhao Moqing heard this, she smiled and reached out to touch Qin Lin's chin. He didn't have a big beard.

The bus soon arrived at the drift-off point. Several small buildings had been built at the top of the hill, and there were many vendors inside. They sold swimming rings, towels, sunglasses, waterproof bags… these things.

Visitors were those who came here to play with the drifting tourists.

This was organized by the county. They were all supporting some special poor families to earn some money. Even the money for wholesale was supported by the county.

The county had also shown Qin Lin the information on these people. One of them had impressed him. It was a mother whose husband had died more than ten years ago. With her meager income, not only had she painstakingly raised her eldest son, but she had also been taking care of her dead husband's sick mother.

Qin Lin could actually sell these things in the villa, but the profits of these things were also thin. With these arrangements in the county, there was no need for him to be involved.

This bit of profit was insignificant to him, but it was a guarantee for these special poor families to support their families.

Qin Lin brought Zhao Moqing to the drifting point. There was already a waiter in charge of explaining the drifting with a microphone.

Next to them were the staff who checked tickets and the staff who handed out life jackets and hard hats.

Below, too, two employees in water shoes and gloves grabbed the kayak to help the tourists up.

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing were naturally recognized again when they went forward to check their tickets. However, with a gesture, those employees were not stupid and would not call out his identity in public.

The two of them boarded a kayak. After entering the water, Zhao Moqing said, "Qin Lin, it's a little cold in the river. Let's row quickly."

She had gone on a winter rafting trip with Qin Lin, so she naturally knew that as long as she moved at this time, not only would she not feel cold, but her body would also be hot and sweaty.

Qin Lin nodded and rowed the raft with Zhao Moqing.

Along the way, every kayak was filled with pairs of tourists.

Even if only one person came to this drifting project, the scenic area would specially match them up. After all, playing alone was actually more dangerous than playing as two.

If a young man and woman were to drift alone, the scenic area would match you with the opposite sex. Moreover, if you have affinity with them, remember to seize the opportunity.

Maybe it was really a case of a long-term relationship.

It took more than two hours for Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing to reach the end of the drift. Along the way, they didn't find any problems. Moreover, the project had just started and the employees' salaries were much higher than the average salary in Youcheng County. Everyone was very enthusiastic about their work.

Chapter 165

When he returned to the villa after his shower, it was abuzz with tourists.

As far as the eye could see, the number of tourists in the villa today was definitely several times higher than before. The ticketing area was already somewhat crowded.

It seemed that this Supreme Set was extremely attractive to ordinary people. It also made him believe that the things used by ancient emperors would be snatched by the people.

In the eyes of these people, the Supreme Set was probably something similar to what ancient emperors used, right?

Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing had just returned to the chairman's office when Gao Yaoyao ran in. "Boss, Sister Moqing, you're finally back. The tickets for the Sea of Flowers and the drifting tickets that were restricted in the morning were sold out an hour ago. Now, the tourists are urging us to release more tickets."

Qin Lin knew that this would happen today, but he didn't expect the flowers and drifting tickets to be sold out so quickly.

This also meant that the number of tourists today was really large, far exceeding the load of the villa. If they did not think of a way to resolve it, many tourists would probably have objections.

After all, a crowded trip was the least experienced and most frustrating.

Indeed, at this moment, in the sales hall at the entrance of the villa, many tourists were complaining.

"Hey, are you kidding me? There are so many people who didn't buy a ticket, and they're limiting our purchases."

"I can't even get a lucky draw even if I want to. Who can understand the feeling of having money but not being able to spend it? I want a lucky draw!"

"…"

"The Qinglin Villa event is indeed attractive, but there are really too few projects in Qinglin Villa."

"Last time I came, I waited. This time, I have to wait again. It's exhausting."

In the office, Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "We've already ordered a batch online yesterday. The Triangular Plum Blossom Sea is determined to limit the tickets. How about this? Let them send the raft back faster so that we can sell more tickets."

Visit (Myb o xn ov e l. com) to read, pls!

Gao Yaoyao nodded at first, then said, "Boss, but this is still a drop in the bucket. Our original plan was to receive 2,000 to 3,500 people. From the looks of it, the number of people in the villa has already reached 2,500 before the morning is over. There might be more in the afternoon. We can't let the tourists stay in the villa and not know what to do. After all, not all tourists will think about shopping in the sales center to win the lottery."

When Qin Lin heard this, he smiled and praised, "Yaoyao, not bad. You know how to think in many aspects."

"It's all thanks to Boss and Sister Moqing's teachings." Gao Yaoyao suddenly revealed a hint of embarrassment at being praised.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "We can only ask for external help now. I'll look for Chief Chen and get him to organize a concert to purchase tickets. During the event, we'll help two scenic spots in the county city sell tickets and divert the tourists to the other two scenic spots."

Zhao Moqing frowned and said, "Will the tourists buy it?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "The tourists who buy tickets to those two scenic spots can also get a lot of lucky draws. There should be quite a number of people who will buy it. We'll split as much as we can. If it really doesn't work out, we'll increase the number of lucky draws from five per day to seven."

As Qin Lin spoke, he took out his phone and called Chen Li.

On the other side, Chen Li was in a conference room. Sun Xian was giving instructions to the people from the Tourism Bureau. They had already decided to rely on Qinglin Villa's plan to promote the county's economy when they gave them the support fund.

The momentum at Qinglin Villa was very strong now. Sun Xian had placed all their focus on this for the past two days.

At this rate, at least the GDP of some industries in the county could increase a lot in this new year.

Chen Li had already muted his phone. He did not intend to answer Sun Xian's call, but when he saw that it was Qin Lin, he immediately took out his phone and handed it to Sun Xian.

"Answer it!" When Sun Xian saw that it was Qin Lin, he immediately stopped talking and said a simple word.

Chen Li nodded, pressed the speaker button, and picked up the call. "Hello, Boss Qin, why are you free to call now?"

Qin Lin picked up the call and went straight to the point. "Chief Chen, I have something to ask of you. The villa is overloaded. This event has attracted even more people than the previous melon king event. I would like to ask you to help distribute them. Isn't there a Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden in the county? I plan to sell their tickets and divert them to these two scenic spots."

Chen Li was stunned and said, "The tourists are coming for Qinglin Villa. Will they buy it?"

Qin Lin explained, "The tickets for the two places will be counted into the consumer lucky draw. The number of winners on my side will also increase by two every day. There will definitely be tourists who will buy it. In addition, I'll secretly let a tourist who bought two tickets to the scenic area win the lottery first to stimulate them."

Chen Li looked at Sun Xian.

Sun Xian immediately nodded with a look of joy on his face. Last time, Qinglin Villa did not open any new projects. Even after receiving 5,086 people a day, they did not call the county for help.

Now that Boss Qin had actually asked for help from the county, it meant that there were more people than last time. The number of tourists today might have exceeded 6,000.

This was a joyous occasion.

Think about it, 6,000 visitors a day. If only Qinglin Villa could maintain this number every day. That would be nearly 2.2 million visitors a year.

However, Sun Xian knew that this was impossible. They could not be greedy. It was fine as long as Qinglin Villa could break through the daily average of 3,000 people. With nearly 1.1 million visitors a year, it was enough for the county to be happy.

Seeing Sun Xian nod, Chen Li immediately said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, don't worry. I'll help you deal with it immediately. I'll let the two scenic areas convert 40% of the profits from these tickets to Qinglin Villa."

Chapter 166

Qin Lin immediately said, "Chief Chen, this 40% will be a benefit for the tourists. Some tourists will buy tickets to these two scenic spots. They will be responsible for picking up the tourists and giving them gifts, such as Youcheng County's bamboo products or gold ingots."

"Alright, we'll do as Boss Qin says." Chen Li did not refuse and immediately agreed.

After hanging up, Sun Xian couldn't help but say, "This Boss Qin is really magnanimous. He has a sense of the big picture and is a person who does big things. He said that he would try his best to do it well and wasn't afraid of giving more gifts. This time, the publicity for these two scenic spots is more than making money."

"I know." Chen Li nodded. As he walked out of the conference room, he took out his phone and dialed.

...

After Qin Lin called Chen Li, he turned on his computer and logged into the lucky draw program. There were two more chances to win, so he had to make some changes to the lucky draw settings.

Moreover, everyone was worried that the tourists who were selling tickets to the other two scenic spots would not buy it. They were right to be worried. Therefore, it was necessary to operate secretly.

He had a lecture at the university on psychological suggestion propaganda. It was the theory involved in this underhand operation of his.

As long as the first Supreme Set meal was given to the tourists who bought tickets to the two scenic spots in the county, it would give the others a psychological effect. It seemed that the ticket winning rate for these two scenic spots was higher.

With such a mentality, there would definitely be people who would buy it. As long as they bought tickets to two scenic spots, they would definitely go. This way, they could divert a lot of people.

At that time, before these people could play in Qinglin Villa, they would have to stay in the county for a night and come to Qinlin Villa tomorrow. The county would probably be overjoyed.

This secret operation was not difficult. After all, the ticket prices for the two scenic spots were different. It was very easy to set up. The only thing was that he did not know who the lucky person in the end was.

After operating the lucky draw program, Qin Lin sighed.

...

In this situation, he really hoped that the comprehensive Sea of Flowers and pasture had already been built. Coupled with the planned aquarium, if all of them were ready, the number of tourists today could be easily received.

It didn't take long.

Chen Li brought the two middle-aged men to Qin Lin's office. As soon as he saw Qin Lin, he introduced, "Boss Qin, these two are President Li and President Huang, the people in charge of Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden. They personally brought their employees over to cooperate with you. They also brought their tickets."

When President Li and President Huang saw Qin Lin, they immediately went forward to shake his hand enthusiastically.

"President Qin, I've heard a lot about you. I've finally met you today."

"President Qin, thank you so much for your support. I'll follow your instructions today."

Their attitude was respectful.

Their Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden were semi-official contractors. Their operations were also under great pressure. The main reason was that there were not many tourists and there was no way to develop new customers.

Seeing that Hero Valley's publicity on Douyin had worked, they now had more than a million fans. They also wanted to learn, but on the same platform, the opportunities and serendipity of becoming popular were obviously too great. They were not as lucky as Hero Valley. The number of tourists could only maintain the balance and did not increase much.

What the two of them did not expect was that Qinglin Villa would suddenly force a mouthful of rice into their mouths. They were already being ungrateful by not treating President Qin as the God of Wealth.

Qin Lin also said to the two of them, "Now, I really have to ask the two of you to cooperate. In addition, I hope that the two of you can give the tourists who have been sent out a good experience. Be it our Qinglin Villa, the county, or your scenic spots, we can't ruin our reputation."

President Li immediately said, "Don't worry, President Qin. We're not ungrateful people."

President Huang nodded in agreement.

Chen Li watched from the side with admiration on his face.

He really admired this Boss Qin. The other party's view of the big picture seemed to have convinced President Li and President Huang. He was like a leader.

Qin Lin also called Gao Yaoyao over and instructed her to cooperate with the employees of the two scenic areas.

Triangular Plum Blossom Sea's sales hall.

Wang Yang had already come over from the drifting project after taking a shower with his female companion. He had even brought his female companion to the sales center to buy two cups of medicinal honey water and two catties of strawberries worth 200 yuan. He had spent a total of 600 yuan and won six prizes. Unfortunately, he still didn't win any.

The girl frowned and asked, "Brother Yang, they're not selling the Sea of Flowers tickets this morning. What should we do now?"

Wang Yang was also very distressed. It wasn't that he didn't have money, but that he had nowhere to spend it now. He couldn't eat anymore after drinking a cup of medicinal honey water and eating some strawberries.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it. In the past, after going to a nightclub, booking a table would cost at least 1,200 yuan. If he was lonely, spending 2,300 yuan a night wouldn't be a problem.

But what was wrong with Qinglin Villa? He had only spent 800 yuan, but he could not spend the money. He wanted to draw a lottery.

There were plenty of complaints around, too.

For so many tourists to come to Qinglin Villa, it meant that this scenic area was really popular.

Why didn't the owner of this villa develop more projects? Did he have to be so petty for a big shot who could get his hands on Xiangshui Tribute Rice?

At this moment.

A saleswoman came over with a small loudspeaker. "First of all, I apologize on behalf of the villa and everyone. Because the villa's function is not perfect, it has brought everyone unhappiness. Now, we will sell tickets to the two scenic spots in the county, Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden."

Chapter 167

"These two scenic spots are also our Youcheng County's special scenic spots. They have many special landscapes to admire. Zhuzi Cultural Park even has South Stream Academy, which Zhuzi has read. 'Half an acre of square pond is opened, the sky is bright, and the clouds are lingering. How clear is the canal? For the source to come alive.' The poem was created there in the first place…"

Clearly, this saleswoman's introduction was very good, but there didn't seem to be many tourists who bought it. After all, everyone was here for the Qinglin Villa event and the lucky draw. Who would be willing to go to the Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden?

After the saleswoman finished her introduction, she continued with the loudspeaker, "In addition, there's good news. The purchase of tickets to these two scenic spots will also result in the number of lucky draws. In addition, the number of lucky draws will increase by two every day to seven."

This attracted a lot of attention.

"What a bunch of nonsense. Just say that you can buy tickets to these two scenic spots and draw a lottery." Wang Yang muttered and asked his female companion, "Since you can't buy tickets to Qinglin Villa, why don't you go to those two scenic spots?"

"Anything you say." The girl nodded.

There were clearly some people who had similar thoughts as Wang Yang. They all went forward to queue up to buy tickets.

Wang Yang bought tickets to both scenic spots. There were two tickets for each scenic spot, but when he saw that the price was only 50 yuan, he frowned. "Four tickets are only 200 yuan, it'll only draw twice."

With that, he clicked on the lottery. Unfortunately, both times, it was thanks for participating.

"F*ck…" He was annoyed.

Couldn't he win once?

Other tourists who had bought tickets to the two scenic spots also clicked on the lottery.

After a couple took the tickets, the man casually clicked on the lucky draw. He and his wife were purely here to travel. The lucky draw was just in passing. He didn't care much about it. It was up to fate whether he could win or not.

"Congratulations on drawing the Supreme Set!"

"?" The man dropped his hand and withdrew it in a rush. There was a moment of disbelief.

Visit (Myb o xn ov e l. com) to read, pls!

He had no intentions of winning, but who knew he would actually win the lottery?

"What is it?" his wife asked suspiciously.

"I… I won!" the man said in disbelief.

"Really?" His wife was shocked. She looked at her husband's phone and saw that there was indeed a notification that he had won a prize. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You really did, honey. You're amazing. You won your first lucky draw."

This instantly attracted the attention of everyone around them. Everyone looked over.

Wang Yang also looked over with envy in his eyes.

He won it on the first try?

Was there no justice in the world?

There was a commotion all around.

"What kind of luck is that?"

"I drew more than a dozen times and I didn't get it. He bought tickets to these two scenic spots and he won?"

"Could it be that too many people spend at Qinglin Villa, so the winning rate is low? Few people buy tickets to these two scenic spots, so the chances of winning are high?"

"Maybe it's because the ticket sales for these two scenic spots have just been added and there are two additional winning spots. There's a bug in the system's winning probability, so the person who bought the tickets for these two scenic spots actually won."

"…"

Once something happened, many people would naturally have all kinds of strange associations in their minds.

Therefore, many people rushed to buy tickets to Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden.

In Qin Lin's office, President Li, President Huang, and Chen Li were all very surprised to see the rapid increase in ticket sales in the two scenic spots backstage. Qin Lin's idea had clearly succeeded.

President Li and President Huang were full of smiles. They had to build a good relationship with President Qin in the future. It would be good if such things happened a few more times.

Outside.

The couple who had won the prize were watched by more and more people. After all, this was the first person to win.

A waitress hurriedly stepped forward and said to the couple, "Congratulations on winning the prize. Now, you can follow me to register your ID information. We'll tell you the process of receiving the prize."

Still a little confused, the couple could only nod and follow the waiter.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Wait."

A young man in a suit ran up and asked the couple, "Are you selling this award? Our chairman wants to buy it, he can pay 61,000 yuan and transfer the money on the spot."

The young man was obviously in a hurry. The chairman didn't have time, so he had sent him here. He had been waiting early in the morning. The chairman had given orders that he had to buy at least two winning places.

The next moment, another female secretary in a business suit ran up. "You two, you can also consider our chairman. He's willing to pay 62,000 yuan to buy your spot."

The price was raised again?

The people around them finally couldn't help but clamor.

"People are really in a hurry to buy it!"

"The price actually went up. It became 62,000 yuan."

"Why didn't I win the prize? I was right in front of him. If I'd known, I'd have let him draw first and drawn it later."

"…"

Annoyance, envy, and surprise mingled.

In a short period of time, the news that someone had won a prize and that someone had rushed to buy it spread throughout the entire Qinglin Villa. More and more tourists knew about it.

For a moment, the entire Qinglin Villa seemed to be in a restless atmosphere.

Chapter 168

The couple who had won the prize looked at the two people who were fighting to bid. The husband asked the attendant eagerly, "Can we sell this winning chance?"

Although the couple could leave some money to travel every year, they were not rich and were also under mortgage pressure.

Would the couple choose to sell the Supreme Set Meal for more than 60,000 yuan, or would they experience a meal that they could only eat once in their lives?

"Hold on, let me report it," the attendant said. She picked up the radio and said, "Yaoyao, the tourist who won the prize wants to sell the winning spot. What do we do with it?"

When Gao Yaoyao received the news, she immediately went to Qin Lin's office to report. "Boss, the tourist who won the prize wants to sell his spot."

"Then let him sell it," Qin Lin said with a smile.

This was all to be expected.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma would definitely send someone to buy it. Liu Yi and Zhao Furong, who had never seen it before, would probably do the same. It was even possible that other people would join in the fun.

Gao Yaoyao nodded and said, "Then should we let them make the deal themselves, or should we be the middleman?"

Qin Lin said, "Let the tourists do as they please. We just need to register the information of the last owner. Remember to get both parties to sign when the transaction is over. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation."

"I understand." Gao Yaoyao left.

At this moment, Chen Li said, "Boss Qin, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be rich people coming to spend 60,000 yuan on a meal."

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "The materials are rare. Not every tycoon can buy it for 60,000 yuan."

These words made President Li and President Huang look envious.

They were promoters of scenic areas, but look at how confident the other party was.

Seeing that the data was as expected, Qin Lin also invited Chen Li, President Li, and President Huang to a tea table at the side.

This activity did not end immediately. It was also a Southerners' pleasure to chat and make tea.

Chen Li sat down and took a filtered teacup to wash. President Li also took a kettle to boil water. Southerners were very good at making tea.

Gao Yaoyao left Qin Lin's office and went to the Sea of Flowers ticketing hall immediately. She saw the couple who had won the prize. "Sir, madam, congratulations on winning the prize. As for whether you can sell the prize, that's your freedom. The prize already belongs to you."

"However, when you make the transaction, please cooperate with our villa to register your identity and sign to prove that the ownership of the prize has been completed."

The couple's faces lit up when they heard this.

The young assistant and the young secretary approached the couple again.

"Gentleman…"

"Sir…"

Clearly, both of them wanted to complete the mission their boss had given them.

In the end, the couple chose to sell it to the young man who spoke first.

They had obtained 60,000 yuan from this. They didn't care about the additional 1,000 or 2,000 yuan.

The young assistant's face lit up.

In this way, the task assigned by the chairman was half done.

Gao Yaoyao brought both parties to the new hall to register their information. Then, in front of everyone, the two parties completed the transaction. The couple also received 61,000 yuan.

This stimulated the other tourists. For a moment, the tourists who were only thinking about traveling and lucky draws became a little restless. Many of them could not help but go to the sales center to start spending, wanting to make up for the number of lucky draws.

After all, someone had really sold it for 60,000 yuan. Furthermore, someone came to buy it immediately after winning the prize.

It was the most intuitive thrill.

Time passed.

Because of the news that the couple had won the lottery for buying the other two tickets, more and more tourists were buying tickets to Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden.

This also allowed Qin Lin's diversion plan to succeed. Many tourists were diverted towards the two scenic spots.

As noon approached, someone else won another prize.

In the sales center, a girl who looked like a student bounced excitedly. "I won. I won."

The surrounding tourists, including the salesperson, looked at the girl in disbelief.

Because she had only spent 100 yuan in total. She had bought a small glass of medicinal honey water and some snacks, and then won it after one draw.

This girl was definitely one of the luckiest people in the world.

Those who carried large bags of shopping and swiped the lucky draw times were extremely envious.

Similarly, after the girl won the prize, a secretary-like person came forward and asked if she wanted to sell the spot.

All this left the girl momentarily at a loss.

60,000 yuan.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

In the end, the girl sold the winning spot. She felt afraid to eat something that cost 60,000 yuan.

After the second winner appeared, it seemed to make Qinglin Villa even more restless, or some tourists became a little impatient.

They all wanted to hit the jackpot. Another spot was gone.

A third winner appeared around noon, also in the sales center.

A fat man was holding a phone and dancing with excitement. "Haha, I won, I won. I made a killing. Where's the person who wants to buy the winning spot?"

Five watermelons lay at the fat man's feet.

These watermelons were special watermelons that cost 200 yuan per catty.

He was here to get more lucky draws. Five watermelons for a total of more than 12,000 yuan. He had drawn a total of 120 times and finally won once.

This was equivalent to him earning 48,000 yuan directly, not to mention that there were five melons.

"Sir, I'll buy this winning slot on behalf of my chairman." A girl in an OL suit came running over when she heard the fat man.

Chapter 168: Win If You Pay Money! New Game: Processor! 1

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The couple who had won the prize looked at the two people who were fighting to bid. The husband asked the attendant eagerly, "Can we sell this winning chance?"

Although the couple could leave some money to travel every year, they were not rich and were also under mortgage pressure.

Would the couple choose to sell the Supreme Set Meal for more than 60,000 yuan, or would they experience a meal that they could only eat once in their lives?

"Hold on, let me report it," the attendant said. She picked up the radio and said, "Yaoyao, the tourist who won the prize wants to sell the winning spot. What do we do with it?"

When Gao Yaoyao received the news, she immediately went to Qin Lin's office to report. "Boss, the tourist who won the prize wants to sell his spot."

"Then let him sell it," Qin Lin said with a smile.

This was all to be expected.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma would definitely send someone to buy it. Liu Yi and Zhao Furong, who had never seen it before, would probably do the same. It was even possible that other people would join in the fun.

Gao Yaoyao nodded and said, "Then should we let them make the deal themselves, or should we be the middleman?"

Qin Lin said, "Let the tourists do as they please. We just need to register the information of the last owner. Remember to get both parties to sign when the transaction is over. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation."

"I understand." Gao Yaoyao left.

At this moment, Chen Li said, "Boss Qin, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be rich people coming to spend 60,000 yuan on a meal."

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "The materials are rare. Not every tycoon can buy it for 60,000 yuan."

These words made President Li and President Huang look envious.

They were promoters of scenic areas, but look at how confident the other party was.

Seeing that the data was as expected, Qin Lin also invited Chen Li, President Li, and President Huang to a tea table at the side.

This activity did not end immediately. It was also a Southerners' pleasure to chat and make tea.

Chen Li sat down and took a filtered teacup to wash. President Li also took a kettle to boil water. Southerners were very good at making tea.

Gao Yaoyao left Qin Lin's office and went to the Sea of Flowers ticketing hall immediately. She saw the couple who had won the prize. "Sir, madam, congratulations on winning the prize. As for whether you can sell the prize, that's your freedom. The prize already belongs to you."

"Sir, I'll buy this winning slot on behalf of my chairman." A girl in an OL suit came running over when she heard the fat man.

Chapter 169

The fat man did not hesitate. He decisively sold the winning spot.

He had come for the lottery anyway.

The fat man also seemed to offer tourists who had come specifically for the lottery a way to learn, and that was to win on credit.

The sales center seemed to get even livelier.

Half a day passed quickly.

The news that three people from Qinglin Villa had won the prize in the morning and were bought for more than 60,000 yuan had also spread online.

This made many people eager to try again.

Time passed quickly into the afternoon.

As the first visitor of the afternoon began to win the prize, the enthusiasm of the tourists was aroused again. Moreover, the incident of the fat man in the morning buying watermelon brushes to win the prize had caused the number of people buying Quality 2 watermelons to clearly increase in the afternoon.

Qin Lin looked at the backstage sales figures and realized that 100 Quality 2 watermelons were not enough. Fortunately, Lin Feng had prepared a lot of other wholesale items yesterday.

Qin Lin had no choice but to go to the warehouse and move 50 Quality 2 watermelons out of the game.

In the old parking lot, Qin Lin parked the car and called Chen Dabei to bring people to move the watermelons.

In a moment, Chen Dabei arrived at the parking lot with a few people. He instructed a young man behind him, "Captain Guo, take the melons to the sales center and hand them to the head waiter."

Chen Dabei was now the head of security. Although he still had to run errands for his boss, he could just assign this kind of work to the captains below. He did not have to personally supervise them.

"Alright, Supervisor Chen." Captain Guo nodded and immediately led his men to the car to move the watermelons onto the cart and send them to the sales center.

Only then did Chen Dabei go to Qin Lin's side and say, "Boss, there are so many people today. The villa is almost bursting."

Qin Lin asked, "Is there any problem with the security of the villa?"

Chen Dabei explained, "There's no big problem. It's just that two tourists had some friction and accidentally bumped into each other. In the end, both sides lost their temper and started fighting."

"Captain Hong took them back to educate them, but left them alone, considering they're both tourists."

Qin Lin nodded.

This kind of headache was inevitable. After all, some people might fight just because the other party looked at them.

After that, Qin Lin returned to his office. The entire villa was busy, and with Zhao Moqing keeping an eye on things, he seemed to be free. He simply looked at the screen in his mind and controlled his game character to play the game.

He had yet to fish today, so he could find an opportunity to catch all the fish.

After spending some time, Qin Lin caught all 35 fish that had been refreshed today. He obtained a total of 14 fish of Quality 1, 18 fish of Quality 2, and three ornamental fish.

During this period of time, he would catch ornamental fish every day. The aquariums at the old hall had already been filled with many ornamental fish.

He couldn't release them now either. Due to the aggressive nature of the flowerhorn fish, there were too many fish and other fish could easily fight with the flowerhorn fish. Therefore, most of the ornamental fish caught were stored in the game.

Qin Lin finished fishing for the day and was about to leave the ranch when he saw an NPC appear. It was Zach again.

[Because of your contribution to the economy of Ore Town, a processing machine factory has noticed Ore Town and has already opened an experience hall in Ore Town. If you go to the experience hall and spend some gold coins, you can experience using some processing machines. If you have enough gold coins, you can also buy one!]

Zach dutifully performed his NPC duties and then left.

Qin Lin was surprised to trigger this plot information.

There was no such thing as a processing machine in the old version of Ranches Story at first. It was only later that a version of Olive Town and Hope Land appeared.

He did not expect this new version to include this gameplay.

As the name suggested, a processing machine was a special machine. As long as there were enough materials, they could process items with special attributes.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to leave the ranch and head to Ore Town. Soon, he found the machine experience center.

First he looked at the gold coins needed to pay for the experience of using the processing machine, and the money needed to buy a machine. Then he decisively gave up on the idea of buying it. It was too expensive to pay for in-game gold these days.

There were only three processing machines in the experience hall. The rest of the area was blank. Perhaps new machines would be refreshed in the future.

He controlled the game character to step forward to the first processing machine:

Wood processor!

Having the game character click on the wood processor, a list appeared.

[Please select the graphics you need to process now.]

[You can also use blueprints for related processing!]

This choice seemed somewhat similar to Sebara's forging of jewelry.

Several different shapes of planks could be worked on the wood processor, with some carved words added.

The option of using blueprints to process was interesting.

If he took an Ultraman blueprint and processed it, could he process an Ultraman out of wood?

Qin Lin looked at the second processor.

Thread processor!

Seeing the choice of this processing machine, Qin Lin wanted to skip it directly. He was not interested at all.

How could a grown man be interested in silk threads?

However, when he saw that there were silk stockings on it, he controlled the game character to open the list of silk processing machines.

Therefore, after wasting some time, Qin Lin controlled his game character to head to the third processing machine.

Besides, the third processor intrigued him.

Bottle processor (Quality 1)

There was actually a Quality 1 note on this machine. Did this mean that this machine could produce Quality 1 bottles?

He controlled the game character to open the list. There were also several bottle styles that could be processed. Moreover, there were blank spots on the bottle styles.

[Please choose the style and size of the bottle you want to process!]

…

[Please fill in the characters you want to process!]

It meant that when he processed a bottle, he could process the words he wanted in the white space. It could be a name or a poem. It was a little like a personal order.

"Oh!" Qin Lin suddenly remembered something.

His Qinglin Medicine Wine had not been packaged yet. Previously, he had given it in transparent empty bottles to Li Qing and Chen Shengfei.

That was not cool at all.

Now that he had won several prizes, it was time for the medicinal wine to be packaged properly.

Now that he saw this bottle processing machine, he seemed to have some ideas. In any case, there was no way to mass-produce the Qinglin Medicine Wine. It was destined to be in small batches.

So how did this bottle processor work?

Then wouldn't it be better to directly process the words 'Qinglin Medicine Wine' when the time came?

Moreover, according to his guess, the quality of this processing machine was 1. This was definitely classy, right?

At the thought of this, Qin Lin was eager to try. He immediately controlled his game character to click and try to use this processing machine to produce bottles.

Chapter 170

[Please select the style of bottle you want to process]

[You can also use blueprints for related processing.]

There were the same two options.

One could use the style in the game or use blueprints to process it.

Qin Lin naturally did not choose the blueprint.

He couldn't just look up a bottle design on the Internet, could he?

Those were all used by others. It would be a little embarrassing if he was discovered after stealing their pictures.

Unless he hired someone to design a wine bottle blueprint especially for him. However, that would take time.

He would see what the style of this game was like first.

If the game design was too lousy, it would be urgent to find someone to design a wine bottle blueprint.

He clicked on a few game-style wine bottles and used the game's 2D cartoon. It wasn't very intuitive, but the last design caught his attention.

The style was a vintage bottle.

The mouth of the bottle slowly expanded downwards. The key was that the entire bottle was engraved with landscape paintings. It looked very stylish.

And the bottle was exactly what he needed.

Qin Lin immediately chose this bottle.

[Please select bottle size]

There were three options: big, medium, and small.

Qin Lin directly chose the medium bottle.

This time, the reward for the Supreme Set was a catty of Qinglin Medicine Wine.

The year naturally couldn't be the highest. At most, he took the second batch of wine that was put into the game. It was about 10 years old now.

After all, it was a set meal worth 60,000 yuan. He could not take the new wine that he had just put in.

After selecting the size, a medium-sized transparent bottle appeared in the game. It should be processed in this bottle. When the time came, the materials would be wrapped outside.

[Please select the materials for processing!]

This request for materials was not surprising. That version of Olive Town's processor required the corresponding materials to process anything.

On the other hand, his new version did not have any specific requirements for the materials used. It was more open and casual.

Qin Lin opened his game backpack. There were water bottles, fishing rods, and other items inside. There were also two pieces of gold, silver, and copper ore each. They were all left behind for emergencies.

He tried clicking on the watering can. Nothing happened. Random clicking was clearly not an option.

Then he clicked on another gold ore.

The gold ore immediately jumped into the lattice of materials used to forge the bottle.

Processing bottles with gold ore apparently worked.

Was he going to learn from Denmark's most expensive vodka bottle? Was it going to be made of gold and inlaid with diamonds?

Gold ores could be made, but there were not enough of them.

Qin Lin tapped the silver ore again.

The silver ore jumped back into the lattice of forging materials. Apparently it was also usable.

Finally, he continued to click on the copper.

The copper ore also jumped into the forging material grid. It was also usable.

Gold, silver and copper?

This gave him a strange idea. This seemed to be able to be divided into three grades of wine bottles. In the future, he could contain medicinal wine of different years.

Copper was the lowest grade. Silver was higher. Gold was the highest.

Copper grades were normally taken out. For example, the prizes won this time were in copper bottles.

Silver bottles could only be obtained by people like Chen Shengfei and Li Qing.

As for gold, he would make it a legend. In the future, when the medicinal wine was 100 years old, he would occasionally put it out and show it off.

If an outsider really wanted to get this level of wine, in addition to having a lot of money to buy it, they had to have a relationship with him. More importantly, it depended on his mood.

Qin Lin felt that this idea was definitely not bad.

Wasn't there a company that specialized in making and selling antique silver and copper wine bottles?

That kind of mastered flat silver hand bottle was still popular.

However, it was impossible to imitate ancient copper wine bottles with brass and the like. Only a small number of copper types could be molded steadily. The only question was what kind of bottle this game's processor produced.

It was not enough to forge a one-catty bottle with two copper ores.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to go to the third floor of the Spring Mine to mine.

Although special ores and special items could only be obtained from digging the first time and would not be repeated the second time, gold, silver, and copper ores were considered ordinary ores.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to take out his tools and start mining. He sold all the gold and silver ores, leaving only the copper ore. After some time, he dug a bag of copper ore and headed to the machine experience center.

He went to the bottle processor again and chose the vintage one-catty bottle. Then he used the copper ore to process it.

The copper ores looked like a grid of materials. When the buttons lit up, it meant that there were enough materials. He directly clicked confirm.

[Please select the characters you want to leave blank!]

Typing notes appeared in the game in his mind. Qin Lin typed out the 'Qinglin Medicine Wine' and then clicked to forge it.

A moment later, the game prompt appeared:

[Congratulations on processing an imitation of an ancient bronze wine bottle (Quality 1)!]

Qin Lin was delighted when he saw the notification.

This Quality 1 processor could really create a Quality 1 bottle. The key was the bronze bottle.

As long as it wasn't brass or anything like that. Bronze was one of the copper materials suitable for making wine bottles.

Qin Lin put the bronze bottle into his backpack and chose the retro style again.

After some time, the copper ores he dug up in his backpack became three imitation ancient bronze wine bottles, and they were all Quality 1.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to return to the ranch. With a thought, he entered the game and saw three bronze wine bottles.

Chapter 171

At first glance, the three bronze wine bottles gave off an ancient and heavy aura. They were beautiful in appearance, and the landscape paintings on them looked like carefully carved works of art. The words "Qinglin Medicine Wine" were even more flamboyant and powerful.

Not to mention anything else, at first glance, it gave off a high-end aura.

If someone who didn't know better looked at the antique wine bottle, they would probably think it was an antique.

The bronze wine bottle wouldn't be too big. It was a rotary-cap type. Overall, it was about the same size as a Moutai bottle because it was made of bronze and looked a little heavier.

Qin Lin grabbed one of the bottles and saw the note:

[Bronze bottle: Quality 1]

[This is a wine container made with special craftsmanship. No bacteria can be used directly during the production process: sealedness +1, appearance +1, simplicity +1, artistic sense +1!]

A quality wine bottle with these four attributes was definitely awesome.

If this bottle was taken out, it could instantly turn those bottles like Maotai into dregs.

Qin Lin picked up a bronze bottle and entered the storage room. When he reached one of the brewing vessels, he opened the valve and filled the bottle with medicinal wine.

After that, he took the bottle of wine and exited the game. He planned to let Zhao Moqing see the unique packaging of his medicinal wine.

He walked out of the office and went to Zhao Moqing's office. He saw her calculating something with three accountants.

"Chairman!"

"Boss!"

When the two accountants saw Qin Lin enter, they spoke in unison.

"What are you busy with?" Qin Lin stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Zhao Moqing explained, "We're calculating today's turnover and the focus of the tourists' consumption in this event, especially the goods sent by the wholesalers. This way, when the event passes, we can roughly get those wholesalers to deliver the goods according to a certain ratio."

"You've worked hard," Qin Lin said sincerely. It was definitely a blessing to have a virtuous wife. He placed the bottle of wine on Zhao Moqing's desk. "Look at this bottle."

When Zhao Moqing saw this bronze antique wine bottle, she was immediately attracted by its simple and heavy appearance. She subconsciously asked, "Qin Lin, what is this? An antique?"

"Do you think it looks good?" Qin Lin asked the three accountants with a smile.

The three accountants felt that the wine bottle was also very exquisite and spoke up.

"The bottle is expensive, isn't it, boss?"

"Chairman, this is a vintage bottle. And the carvings on it are so beautiful. It's probably an antique, right?"

It was the third accountant who said, "Boss, is this an antique wine bottle?"

Zhao Moqing asked in surprise, "An antique wine bottle? Xiao Xin, how can you tell?"

The accountant named Xiao Xin turned the bottle in Zhao Moqing's direction, and the words "Qinglin Medicine Wine" appeared in Zhao Moqing's eyes.

"…" Zhao Moqing was stunned. When she saw these four words, she knew that it couldn't be an antique.

She actually did not understand antiques, but when she first saw the bottle, she felt that it might be an antique.

The two accountants were equally surprised. They hadn't seen those four words just now.

Looking at Zhao Moqing's expression, Qin Lin knew that she was stunned.

This bottle was definitely OK. It was classy.

"Alright, I won't disturb you guys anymore. I'll go back first." Qin Lin smiled and brought the bottle of wine back to his office. Then, he looked at the game in his mind again and controlled the game character to go to the Spring Mine to mine.

For the rest of the afternoon, he controlled the game character to run back and forth from the mine and the machine experience hall. He repeated this process and processed more than 30 Quality 1 imitation ancient bronze wine bottles.

The silver ore and gold ore earned from this process were just enough to pay for the experience processing machine.

…

Time passed.

While Qin Lin was making the wine bottle…

Two tourists in Qinglin Villa also won again.

Their winning spot was also bought for 60,000 yuan.

However, none of the winning tourists had chosen to keep their spot.

As evening approached, there was only one spot left for the seven winners of the first day.

At this moment, the entire villa entered its most restless state.

As the first six winning tourists sold their winning spots for more than 60,000 yuan, more and more tourists were more or less stimulated by the additional spending lottery.

Especially those tourists who had specially come for the lucky draw. Many of them had spent a lot of money. How could they not be anxious when there was only one spot left?

Wang Yang was the same.

He had bought tickets to Nine Clouds Mountain and Zhuzi Cultural Garden but failed to win the lottery twice. He also followed the pick-up cars from the two scenic spots to Zhuzi Cultural Garden.

After returning from these two places, he still could not buy a ticket to the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea. If he wanted to continue drawing, he could only learn from those people and spend money in the consumer center.

Wang Yang walked out with two watermelons. They were ordinary watermelons. He placed them in front of the salesperson and said, "Two special quality watermelons."

The salesperson was very busy today and did not notice it. He directly treated the two watermelons as 200 yuan per catty.

Seeing that his scheme had succeeded again, Wang Yang couldn't help but smirk.

If he bought ordinary watermelons for 200 yuan a catty, others would think that he was stupid, right? But the 200-yuan-a-catty watermelon was already gone.

Anyway, he didn't care. He wanted to draw now.

It was just over 4,000 yuan for two ordinary melons. He didn't care.

He enjoyed reading novels on the Internet. For those he liked, he would reward the alliance master with small tips, while the big tips were one silver coin each for 10,000 yuan. Sometimes, it was normal to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a game.

What was this small amount of money to him?

He was asking for a clear mind.

He couldn't think straight if he didn't win the prize and eat the Supreme Set's watermelon.

The salesperson quickly weighed the two watermelons and said, "Sir, the two watermelons weigh 24.25 catties. That's 4,850 yuan."

Wang Yang decisively paid and carried the two watermelons out of the sales center to find his female companion. He could see that there were already more than 10 watermelons lying at the girl's feet. They were all of special quality, 200 yuan per catty.

When the girl saw Wang Yang carrying two more watermelons over, she frowned and said, "Brother Wang, you bought watermelons again? Why don't we forget about it?"

She knew that Wang Yang was rich and was very generous when playing at the nightclub. However, the other party had already spent more than 30,000 yuan on these 10 plus watermelons and other expenses. This made her heart ache. If this was wasted, he might as well give the money to her.

"I don't believe I won't get it." Wang Yang put down the watermelons and started frantically pressing the lucky draw program.

4,850 yuan, another 48 chances.

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

"…"

"Thank you for participating!"

"F*ck…" Wang Yang couldn't help but curse when he was only left with one last draw.

This would be the last time again.

He had spent more than 30,000 yuan. How many times had he drawn?

"Brother Yang, did you miss it again?" the girl beside him asked with a frown.

"For the last time, I don't believe it. Baby, if I win, I'll marry you." Wang Yang was a little bewitched. It had been more than 300 times. He actually said this to the girl and pressed the lucky draw button.

But sometimes, when he said vows and promises he shouldn't, God liked to joke.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Supreme Set!"

"I– I won?" Wang Yang exclaimed and looked at the girl beside him in shock.

What had he just said? Why was his mouth so stupid?

The girl opened her mouth in disbelief, then said in a very conflicted manner, "Um… Brother Xiang, I… I have a husband…"

"…"

Nearby, a young man in a suit ran up to him. "Sir, did you just win a prize? Our chairman would like to—"

"Do I look like I'm short of that 60,000 yuan?" Wang Yang directly planned the other party's words. Without another word, he pulled his female companion to the hall to register the winning information. He didn't even care about the watermelons on the ground.

Finally.

The last winning spot of the first day was also drawn.

This made countless tourists sigh.

They weren't fated.

Qin Lin naturally received the news immediately. At this moment, he had already made more than 40 Quality 1 imitation ancient bronze wine bottles. This was enough for the time being.

He had never planned to take out a lot of medicinal wine.

After thinking about it, he finally controlled the game character to go to the Spring Mine and finally made three Quality 1 imitation ancient silver wine bottles and one Quality 1 imitation ancient gold wine bottle.

Chapter 172

In Qin Lin's office.

When the last prize winner was born, Gao Yaoyao came in to report. "Boss, the information of all the winners has been registered. You can see their identity information backstage."

Qin Lin turned on his computer and logged into the villa's backstage program. He saw seven winning IDs.

The names, IDs, and contact details were complete.

Four of the seven spots were familiar.

Chen Shengfei: 2

Ma Liewen: 2

Both of them had bought two winning places on the first day.

There was also another tycoon in the Ming City, Liu Yi, who had previously said that he wanted to buy the spot.

This person had also bought it twice.

It seemed that the people who bought the winning spot from the tourists today were sent by these three people.

The last person was called Wang Yang. He had never heard of him.

Gao Yaoyao said, "Today, six tourists sold their winning tickets. Only the last one called Wang Yang didn't choose to sell. When he registered just now, he even asked when he could eat this Supreme Set."

...

When Qin Lin heard this, he said, "Inform everyone who registered. If they win during the event, they can eat at any time. As long as they go to the service area to register, our villa will arrange it immediately."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Also, inform Mr. Chen and the other rich people that other than the time of this event, if they want to save their winning spots for the future, they have to ask us in advance if we have the materials. If we don't, we have to wait until we have the materials."

'It means that no matter how many times they buy it, I'll make it for them during the event. If they want to save it for later, they'll have to wait until I have the materials.'

Actually, there were plenty of materials. These rich people could come at any time.

In fact, he had already gone to the kitchen to prepare the ringing water tribute rice, snails, buttercup, and wild goods that he needed to win this time.

The Xiangshui Tribute Rice could be stored for three months. It could be kept for a long time even if it was not cooked. He did not have to bring anything else for three months. Master Lin could keep these things safe.

However, there were still 14 winning tickets in two days. Who knew how many times these rich people would buy them?

This kind of notice could show that this material was difficult to obtain. After all, it was not easy to get the Xiangshui Tribute Rice outside. Moreover, this could express another meaning. Their villa could still get some from time to time. After all, they had to have style.

"Okay, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao nodded and went back to the general management office.

She had her own office in the general management office, and a computer.

The villa's application program and her supervisor account also had some authority. After logging in, she called up the registration information, picked up the office phone, and called them one by one.

She would only be at ease if she personally informed them of this.

Qin Lin locked the office door and entered the game.

He had to fill the antique bronze bottle with wine first. He had to take out a portion first.

…

The sun was about to completely disappear into the forest.

Wang Yang had already brought his female companion to the bridal chamber and found Room 110.

Initially, he did not manage to book a room. The netizens were too fast. But now, not only had he won the prize, but he had also accidentally discovered tourists who had booked a room and could not check out in time. He decisively booked a room.

When luck came, nothing could stop it.

His thoughts were extremely clear now. He was just waiting to eat the Supreme Set meal.

They found room 110 and went inside.

In front of the bridal chamber was a small courtyard with a set of tables and chairs. There were also barbecue tools and a stove to cook independently.

The bridal chamber was not large, but it was fully equipped and decorated warmly. It was very comfortable to look at.

Separated by a glass door at the back, the interior was the bathroom. The key bathroom also had a bathtub, which was very nice.

"It's quite big and can fit two people," Wang Yang said to his female companion with a smile. When he looked at his female companion again, his mood was different from last night.

Initially, everyone was just playing in the nightclub. However, when he heard the other party say that she had a husband, it was more or less a little exciting.

"Brother Yang, what do you think about me divorcing him?" The girl had mixed feelings now. She asked tentatively, "Although he earns a lot in a month and gives a lot of pocket money, he can't accompany me on business trips. Besides, he doesn't exercise."

How could Wang Yang not tell that the other party was testing him? Who asked him to say something he shouldn't have just now? He could only laugh and say, "Baby, don't think that way. How good is it to have such a husband? He loves you, gives you money to spend, and can even give you freedom. Many girls are envious of you, okay? Live well with him."

"…" The girl rolled her eyes at him.

Men who played in nightclubs were indeed unreliable.

At this moment.

His cell phone rang. When he answered the call, a pleasant female voice came from the other end. "Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm Gao Yaoyao, the service supervisor of Qinglin Villa. You've already received the Supreme Set in our villa. You can let us prepare it for you anytime."

Wang Yang's eyes lit up. "Anytime? Then can I have this Supreme Set for dinner?"

Another voice came from the other end. "Of course, sir. You can register at the special service office in our villa lobby now. We'll make arrangements for you immediately."

Chapter 173

Wang Yang hung up and immediately brought his female companion to the hall.

On the other side, Gao Yaoyao also put down the phone. She made a call to everyone who had won the prize. Mr. Chen and the other two tycoons wouldn't be coming today.

Today, only Wang Yang wanted to use the prize.

She left the office and headed for the special service area. He was the first tourist to use the prize. She had to keep an eye on things.

She didn't want anything to go wrong.

When Gao Yaoyao arrived at the service area, the two attendants greeted her.

"Yaoyao!"

"Sister Yaoyao!"

Gao Yaoyao nodded at the two girls.

A moment later, a young couple walked in.

"May I ask if this is the place to receive the Supreme Set?" Wang Yang asked as soon as he entered.

Gao Yaoyao also knew who it was. "Are you Mr. Wang? You can register here."

One of the attendants chimed in. "Please register here with your identity card, sir. We'll arrange it for you immediately."

...

Wang Yang took out his identity card to register.

The attendant checked and said, "Sir, we'll call the restaurant immediately to arrange it for you. There will be a special seat reserved for you."

Hearing the attendant's words, the girl immediately said anxiously, "We can't go to the restaurant… There are too many people…"

"?" Gao Yaoyao.

"?" The attendants.

The restaurant must be crowded.

There was nothing they could do about that.

This woman's reaction was a little strange.

The girl hurriedly explained, "I'm saying that there are too many people in the restaurant. If we eat this Supreme Set meal, it will definitely attract attention. We're not used to it."

"Can you send it to the small courtyard outside the bridal chamber?" Wang Yang also understood what his female companion meant. If it was eye-catching, someone would definitely take a video.

If it became popular online, she would be exposed.

Gao Yaoyao nodded. "Since Mr. Wang has a request, we'll definitely do as you say. Leave us your room number and we'll arrange it for you immediately."

Wang Yang nodded. After registering, he returned to the bridal chamber with his female companion. Then, he couldn't help but take out his phone and take a screenshot of the news of him winning the Supreme Set meal. He posted it on his WeChat Moments.

Title: I'm about to enjoy the Supreme Set meal of Qinglin Villa. This might be the only time in my life.

A moment after this post was posted, he received several likes.

"Brother Yang, did you go to Qinglin Villa? Why didn't you ask me out?"

"Brother Xiang, how dare you not bring me along? I won't go to your party anymore."

"…"

Then, Wang Yang realized that he had received a WeChat message from someone called Baby Wei. "Brother Xiang, did you really win a prize? I also want to eat the Supreme Set. Can I go over and look for you now?"

"Didn't you come with your boyfriend? (Chapter 132)" Wang Yang sent a stunned expression.

Baby Wei immediately replied, "I'll bring my boyfriend over to eat!"

"…" Wang Yang sighed when he saw this. He directly opened the list and deleted her contact.

Having fun at the nightclub was one thing, but he was also ethical. It was one thing to know that the other party had a partner and a husband. After all, if they didn't meet, they wouldn't be exposed.

But messing around in front of the other party's partner and husband was playing with fire.

He had no intention of playing with fire.

And women who played with fire were very dangerous in the nightclub. It was better to interact less with them.

When it was dark, Wang Yang saw two chefs pushing a cart and two food trucks following a waiter over.

"Mr. Wang, we're serving you now," the waiter asked Wang.

Seeing Wang Yang nod, the waiter began to move the food on the dining cart to the table in the courtyard.

The table in the courtyard was actually bigger than the dining room's. On rainy days and in the sun, one could even open a very large parasol. It was even more stylish than the dining room.

Wang Yang and his female companion were already seated at the table.

It was fine for the chef and the waiter to bring the okra, conch, eel, and wild fish to the table.

However, when the porcelain that was specially used to steam the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was brought to the table and the lid was opened, Wang Yang and his female companion suddenly smelled a mellow fragrance.

The two of them had eaten rice every day since they were young. This was the first time they had smelled such a mellow fragrance.

The tip of their noses twitched. The glutton in them had been lured out.

"This Xiangshui Tribute Rice smells so good!" the girl couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yes, let's try it." Wang Yang nodded and picked up the bowl to help himself and the girl get a bowl of rice.

With just one bite, their eyes were filled with disbelief again. The texture and taste were too good.

Although Qin Lin only took out Quality 1 Xiangshui Tribute Rice this time, it was definitely something the two of them had never eaten before.

"This is the Xiangshui Tribute Rice?" Wang Yang was surprised. He had never thought that rice could be so delicious. Thinking about how he had said on the Internet that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was an IQ tax, he felt a little embarrassed.

"This fish is also very delicious," the girl exclaimed again.

Wang Yang also picked up the fish. With just one bite, he felt that the fish he had eaten in the past were all rubbish. Then, he picked up the conch and eel and took a bite.

Every time he ate something, he was more shocked.

He couldn't begin to describe the dishes. Had he never tried a conch or an eel? He'd tried a lot of them, but he had no idea they could taste so good.

Chapter 174

"This is our villa's Qinglin Medicine Wine, sir." The waiter finally placed the bottle of medicinal wine, which was an imitation of an ancient bronze bottle, on the table. Then he said, "Sir, we won't disturb your meal. If you have any other needs, you can inform the server in the bridal chamber."

With that, the waiter and the two kitchen chefs left.

"This medicinal wine bottle is so generous." Wang Xiang took the Qinglin Medicine Wine in surprise.

"Well, I think it's an antique. It looks high-end," the girl agreed, nodding.

"Do you want some?" Wang Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course." The girl smiled.

To her, drinking was a small matter. If she played games in the nightclub, many men wouldn't be able to drink more than her.

Wang Yang smiled as he opened the wine and poured a glass for himself and the girl. He picked up the glass, clinked it, and put it in his mouth to drink.

"Wow, this wine tastes surprisingly good." Wang Yang couldn't help but praise again.

"It's aged well." The girl nodded too. She had tried all kinds of alcohol at the nightclub. There had once been a party by a big boss group where she tried Moutai, which was more than ten years old.

But the taste of that Maotai seemed to be nothing compared to this wine.

The more he ate, the more he felt that he had lived in vain in the past. What kind of trash did he eat in the past?

He might know what the Supreme Set meal meant now.

Perhaps these were the delicacies that emperors enjoyed!

As he ate, Wang Yang suddenly stopped caring about the deliciousness of the food. His expression gradually became strange, and he felt an inexplicable warmth flowing through his body. It was very comfortable.

Especially the warmth at his waist. A feeling grew stronger, especially after drinking that wine.

This wine actually had such an effect?

In the end, he simply put down his chopsticks and pulled the girl into the bridal chamber. He closed the door firmly and drew the curtain…

…

The night grew darker.

More tourists were moving into the bridal area, making the area lively.

After the noise of the day, the villa was quiet again.

When Qin Lin walked into Zhao Moqing's office, Zhao Moqing was busy with three accountants.

They were tabulating the villa's business figures for the day.

Soon, Zhao Moqing said in surprise, "Today's data is out. Look!"

Qin Lin went to Zhao Moqing's computer. The total number of draws was 14,351 today, which was much less than the previous time. However, the previous time was 50 yuan for a draw lot, and this time, it was 100 yuan. Therefore, the turnover today was even higher, exceeding 1,435,000 yuan.

It was just that the turnover was more than 500,000 yuan more than the last melon king event.

The tickets for more than 2,300 tourists alone were sold for more than 350,000 yuan.

A villa's daily turnover exceeded a million yuan. This could be bragged about anywhere.

However, more than 800,000 of them had to enter another card.

The 800,000 was the turnover generated by the drifting, hotel, and dining services.

According to the contract of the villa and the county's support fund, the profits of these projects had to be returned to the county first.

Therefore, the remaining 800,000 yuan had to be transferred into the county's account, apart from maintaining the operation of these projects.

In other words, only more than 600,000 yuan could be transferred into the villa's account today.

However, the villa ranch and villa project had already been completed during this period of time. The factory did not need the villa to invest anymore. The funds in the villa's account had exceeded 10 million yuan today.

Chapter 175

The funds in the villa's account had exceeded 10 million yuan, not because the villa had only earned 10 million yuan after such a long time.

Previously, before the Qinglin Food Company's enterprise guidance fund in the county arrived, it was invested by the villa. It had cost a lot.

In addition, there was also the upfront funds for the 20-acre manor villa project that was still being built. This was also invested in.

Moreover, valuations are important now. With Qinglin Villa's current turnover and popularity, its valuation would definitely not be low.

If he released the news that he was going to sell Qinglin Villa, many people would come to compete with him the next day with a high price. Moreover, the price would be unimaginable.

On the other hand, he now had 10 million yuan. With sufficient funds, the aquarium project could start immediately. Moreover, the new plan for the ranch on Sun Ming's side was about to be released.

At that time, even if there was not enough land left in the villa to add the racetrack according to his request, he would have enough money to rent land.

Qin Lin said to the three accountants, "Everyone has worked hard. If you're done, get off work!"

The three accountants left the office happily.

Who wouldn't be happy after work?

After the office door was closed, Qin Lin went forward and pulled Zhao Moqing up. "You've worked hard too. I'll give you a massage when we get back!"

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience." Zhao Moqing snorted arrogantly.

However, Qin Lin teased, "I'll serve you well and wipe your back…"

...

"You…" Zhao Moqing rolled her eyes at Qin Lin, then took the initiative to hug his arm and walk out.

The romance between husband and wife was enjoyed by both of them.

On the other side.

Wang Yang was enjoying himself even more.

In the bathroom, he truly felt the effects of the Qinglin Medicine Wine. His face was filled with disbelief and excitement.

That sense of explosion.

He felt that he could ask for two women the next time he held a party.

Everyone thought that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was good, but the medicinal wine was the real good thing.

…

Early the next morning.

After the excitement of earning 60,000 yuan from the few tourists yesterday, the tourists heading to Qinglin Villa were clearly more enthusiastic.

After all, before buying the lottery ticket, everyone felt that they would be the next one to win.

Besides, the probability of winning the lottery in this villa's event was much higher than in the lottery. There were even seven winning spots in a day.

Compared to the lottery, the winning rate was not low.

However, the winning spots seemed to have been bought by the subordinates of those rich people yesterday. No one had seen the true appearance of the Supreme Set.

Just as everyone was curious about what the Supreme Set was like, a video about the Supreme Set at Qinglin Villa became popular.

The video was posted by an account with the nickname 'Knife Beating People'.

Not only did the other party take a video of his winnings and registration, but he also took a video of the Supreme Set Meal.

He was one of the people who had won the prize yesterday.

"Haha, I just enjoyed the Supreme Set of Qinglin Villa yesterday. I can only say that it's worthy of supreme enjoyment. Every dish is extremely delicious. I can't eat it outside at all."

"As soon as the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was served and opened, a mellow fragrance spread in all directions. It's very fragrant. You can't imagine that it's only rice. There are also conches, eels, and wild big fishes that are all delicacies to enjoy."

This boast was nothing. After all, everyone knew that something so expensive would definitely be delicious.

However, what he said next attracted everyone's attention.

"Naturally, none of this is important. Even the Xiangshui Tribute Rice is just a leaf in this Supreme Set meal. What's really impressive is the medicinal wine in my hand."

In the video, he took out an antique bronze wine bottle. It was exquisitely carved with mountains and rivers. The retro design gave off an ancient and heavy feeling, as if it was an antique.

"This isn't an antique. This is a bottle of medicinal wine. If it weren't for the words Qinglin Medicine Wine on it, I would have thought it was a bronze antique at first."

"In addition, everyone, you don't have to worry about this bronze wine bottle being poisoned or anything. There's still a layer of inset inside. Of course, the most important thing is the effect of this Qinglin Medicine Wine. It's definitely nourishing. I can only say that men should understand what it means by nourishing…"

"I suspect that the reason those rich people bought the winning spot was actually for this Qinglin Medicine Wine. Drink a small cup at a time. You can drink it for a long time if you save it."

As soon as the video was released, everyone who paid attention to it naturally saw it.

Besides, both men and women could understand what nourishment meant.

That really got everyone's attention.

They had thought that the Xiangshui Tribute Rice was the most precious thing. Now, this 'Knife Beating People' was saying that even the Xiangshui Tribute Rice that 90% of the rich couldn't buy was just a green leaf. How nutritious was the medicinal wine then?

This was unbelievable.

If it was just a meal, then it was nothing compared to 60,000 yuan. They could just sell it.

But compared to some things that concerned a man's pride and dignity, what was this 60,000 yuan?

The already popular lucky draw event became even more popular this time. It even made many male tourists rush to Qinglin Villa with some kind of anticipation.

As time passed, two more tourists won the prize in the morning.

However, today was different from yesterday. These two winning tourists actually did not choose to sell the winning spots they were holding.

Because they were two male tourists, obviously under the influence of the video.

Chapter 176

As noon approached, another tourist won a prize. This was the third tourist to win the next day. They were a beautiful pair of twin sisters.

The sisters were wearing identical white coats and blue jeans. If one wasn't familiar with them, one probably wouldn't recognize who was older.

"Ah Sha, we won. We actually won."

"Ah Jiao, praise my luck!"

When the sisters won the prize, they held hands and skipped excitedly.

This youthful and beautiful scenery attracted the envy of the surrounding tourists. Many tourists even thought of the effects of the medicinal wine. If they could drink that medicinal wine and have the company of these sisters, they would be the ones enjoying themselves.

While the sisters were feeling happy, a young man in a suit immediately ran over. "Ladies, do you want to sell your winning spot? My boss is willing to buy it."

The sisters looked at each other when they heard that. One of them clearly wanted to sell. After all, compared to food, 60,000 yuan could buy them a lot of clothes and jewelry. They were not men, and they did not have a boyfriend or a husband. That medicinal wine was not attractive to them.

However, the other person looked at the young man and said, "We're not selling the Supreme Set. However, if your boss wants to buy the medicinal wine, I'm willing to sell it to him for 60,000 yuan."

"?" The young man in the suit.

"?" The tourists.

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected such a thing, right?

The key was that no one could be sure that those rich people had bought the winning spot for the sake of medicinal wine. It was just what 'Knife Beating People' said.

...

After all, there was the Xiangshui Tribute Rice. It seemed unreal that something so divine had suddenly become the foil for this medicinal wine.

This girl had clearly watched the video and believed that those rich people wanted to buy the spot for the Qinglin Medicine Wine.

Seeing this, the young man in the suit could only take out his phone and call his boss. "Chairman Zhao, the other party doesn't want to sell the Supreme Set Meal. She's only willing to sell the wine… Yes, it's still 60,000 yuan… Okay, okay…"

The man in the suit hung up and immediately said to the twin sisters, "Our boss has agreed to pay 60,000 yuan for the wine."

"Yay!" the girls shouted excitedly.

Now, they could sell the wine for money and also enjoy a set meal.

The tourists who saw this scene were in an uproar.

Was it really just for medicinal wine?

It seemed that the video had not been exaggerated. Perhaps the medicinal wine was really that magical.

For a moment, the tourists were already discussing Qinglin Medicine Wine. Even the news was quickly spread online.

In the afternoon, more and more people on the Internet learned that those rich people had bought the winning spot in Qinglin Villa for the medicinal wine.

The topic of the 60,000 yuan Supreme Set meal gradually turned to 60,000 yuan for a bottle of wine.

How many bottles of 60,000 yuan a bottle were there in the country? Only aged wines like Moutai.

However, that wine did not have the same effect as the medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa.

Everyone knew that medicinal wine with real effects was usually rarer than pure white wine.

The most important thing was the hard value of supply and demand. Those rich people were fighting to buy this Qinglin Medicine Wine, which meant that it was really worth so much money. As word spread, the price might quickly increase again.

In a short period of time, the Qinglin Medicine Wine seemed to have become a god and entered the ranks of famous wines.

…

The county.

The Tourism Bureau had been following the news from Qinglin Villa.

Today, Nine Clouds Mountain and the Zhizi Cultural Garden were still holding a ticketing event with the Qinglin Villa.

The two scenic spots had diverted more than 1,500 people yesterday. They should be able to maintain this number today.

Moreover, the people who came to Qinglin Villa had almost filled up some of the snack bars yesterday. There were a few snack bars with specialties and old skills that were almost filled to the brim. They were even promoted and became famous among the tourists of Qinglin Villa.

After Chen Li found out about this situation, he had a thought. Should he set up a snack street and place it on an old street that led out of the city to Qinglin Villa?

In fact, the county had always wanted to redevelop this old street, but they didn't know which way to go. After all, there were already two shopping streets, and the market street wasn't worthwhile anymore.

Now, there was a clear path in front of him—a snack street. After he told Sun Xian about this suggestion, Sun Xian immediately asked him to write a plan report.

Chen Li was looking at the blueprint of the old street when he saw Sun Xian walking in. This made him hurriedly get up. "Sun Xian, why are you here? Just call if you need anything. I'll go up to your office."

Sun Xian waved his hand and said, "Don't do that. I have something to discuss with you. Another product in Qinglin Villa has become popular."

"What did Boss Qin do this time?" Chen Li asked curiously.

Sun Xian said, "It's a kind of medicinal wine. There's already a discussion online, and it's on the verge of becoming popular. Or rather, that medicinal wine has instantly become famous."

Chen Li curiously took out his phone and went online to search for the trending topic regarding the medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa. A moment later, he was shocked. "Oh my god, a bottle of medicinal wine costs 60,000 yuan? I think even Maotai, which is more than 200 years old, only costs this much!"

Sun Xian nodded and said, "This price is indeed very exaggerated, but the key is that the rich people in Ming City acknowledge this price. This also means that this wine is worth so much money. Then this wine is a famous wine."

Chen Li frowned and said, "But there shouldn't be much of this wine. Perhaps Boss Qin bought some from somewhere else because he was doing an event and discussing with the other party to get the packaging of Qinglin Villa. After all, Boss Qin has never taken it out before."

Sun Xian smiled and said, "Chief Chen, is this important? Now that the name Qinglin Medicine Wine has become famous, even if Boss Qin doesn't have this medicinal wine anymore, or if this wine was only bought from elsewhere, the name Qinglin Medicine Wine will still have a lot of influence for a period of time."

Chen Li seemed to understand. "Sun Xian, you mean the liquor factory in the county."

Sun Xian nodded and said, "As you know, the wine brewed by the dozen or so old masters in the winery is actually very good. It's a pity that it's half-dead now."

Chen Li immediately said, "I'll talk to Boss Qin tomorrow."

Although the wine factory was not big, the wine brewed was indeed good. The county would also use that wine as a gift during festivals.

Unfortunately, the market was focused on publicity and brand effects now, and there were no management talents in the county who knew about this. The wine factory's wine was not as good as the old wine from the town below. They could only make ends meet.

The key was that the craftsmanship of the dozen or so old masters was troublesome. The salary was not high and was not equal. Young people could not bear the hardship.

He was afraid that this old skill would be gone soon. Besides, it would be a pity to lose the decades-old wine cellar.

If Boss Qin could make a move, with the Qinglin Medicine Wine, he could at least have a Qinglin Medicine Wine, right?

As long as he had this reputation and could sell it, the wine would not disappoint.

Thinking about this, Chen Li sighed. The county was becoming more and more reliant on Boss Qin.

For a small city seeking development, it was really lucky to have such a person.

Chapter 177

Chen Li and Sun Xian discussed a lot more about the winery. After Sun Xian left, Chen Li started looking up information about the winery.

If he wanted to convince someone to buy something, he had to be prepared. He couldn't talk without evidence and expected to trap them with a few words.

Actually, he shouldn't be doing these things as the director of the Tourism Bureau, but recently, more and more such things have inexplicably happened to him.

It wasn't easy on him.

On the other side.

The popularity of the Qinglin Medicine Wine made the tourists in the villa even more enthusiastic. Moreover, with the actions of the twin sisters, it also meant that the Supreme Set at Qinglin Villa was worth far more than 60,000 yuan.

As Qinglin Medicine Wine alone cost 60,000 yuan, the Qinglin Set meal became even more popular.

Now, other than the Triangular Plum Blossom Sea, no one else would mention the okra when talking about the legendary Qinglin Villa. Instead, they would talk about the Qinglin Medicine Wine and the Supreme Set meal.

When many people talked about wine or food, they would probably casually mention the Qinglin Medicine Wine and Qinglin Set meal.

In online parlance, that was worthwhile.

This made the tourists more enthusiastic about the lottery than they had been the day before. The sales center had suffered as tourists tried to make up the number of draws.

The entire afternoon, the sales center was almost in a rush. By the third day, they would probably have to inform Lin Feng to send more goods over.

In the evening.

...

While the villa was bustling with activity, Qin Lin carried a few bamboo baskets stacked together into the backyard of the original hall.

Some of those watermelons were ripe again. They had to be removed.

Those who had grown watermelons knew that when they were ripe, they would dehydrate if they did not pluck them. Then they would lack moisture and would taste sandy. Without moisture and taste, they would rot even faster.

Instead, the watermelon could be stored longer in a cold place.

Many fruit farmers planted watermelons. For the convenience of transportation, they would pick them when they were about 7 or 8 years ripe. During the transportation process, the watermelons would continue to ripen. When they arrived at their destination, they would sell them.

Actually, many farmers did not know about this scientific principle, but it was passed down by word of mouth.

Qin Lin entered the courtyard and looked at the artificial water field as usual. There was still no movement.

After all, this was his first attempt at cultivation. Before this repeated experiment was successful, he really didn't know if his method of cultivation was wrong or if he didn't trigger the probability of the mutated Xiangshui Tribute Rice seeds adapting to the environment.

"I'll try the intra-chamber cultivation method later." Qin Lin had seen more than one Southern rice cultivation method. Since this one had never produced any results, he would try another one.

He carried the basket to the watermelons and separated the stacked bamboo baskets. Then, he gently knocked on the watermelons one by one. The ripe ones were immediately plucked and placed in the basket.

His watermelon had no transportation problems, so it could be picked when it was ripe.

Qin Lin plucked a few and the first bamboo basket was almost full.

He was about to take the second bamboo basket when a few people walked in.

It was Chen Shengfei, Ma Liewen, Li Qing, Ma Liewen's wife, Chu Qing, and Li Qing's wife, Lin Liu.

There was another woman that he had not seen before. In this situation, she should be Chen Shengfei's wife.

When Chen Shengfei saw Qin Lin, he said, "Boss Qin, I heard movement inside. It's really you. Otherwise, I would have called you if there was no one in the hall."

The group naturally came to this villa for the Supreme Set meal.

The assistant and secretary sent by Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen had already bought two slots yesterday, and today, they had also bought another slot. This added up to three slots.

Both of them knew that the Qinglin Medicine Wine was magical, so they naturally made arrangements. They were in a hurry to come over today. Coincidentally, there was a place to stay, so they treated it as a vacation.

"Mr. Chen, you're here." Qin Lin put the watermelon in his hand into the basket and greeted Chen Shengfei and the others.

At this moment, Chen Shengfei and the others also saw the watermelons inside and the spreading green melon vines.

Chen Shengfei said in surprise, "Boss Qin, are these watermelons planted outside like this?"

Although he was not a farmer and did not know how to grow watermelons, he still had common sense and knew that this was not the season to grow watermelons. The watermelon seeds would not even germinate if they were not in the greenhouse in winter.

Now that it was winter, not only was Boss Qin's watermelons alive and well, but they were also growing very well. It seemed like these watermelons had ripened.

Ma Liewen and the others also stepped forward curiously to pick up the watermelon or pat it, as if to make sure it was real.

Planting melons like this in the middle of winter was also strange news to them.

Li Qing asked curiously, "Boss Qin, what kind of watermelon is this? I don't think I've heard of such live watermelons being planted in winter."

Once the watermelon seeds of the game were cultivated, they would be released sooner or later. Li Qing's problem was unavoidable.

Qin Lin smiled and said the reason he had already made up, "I don't know what breed it is. I accidentally found some watermelon seeds germinating in the old field in the winter. The watermelons planted are especially delicious."

"You've eaten those watermelons too, those of special quality. There aren't too many of them. I'm trying to cultivate seeds in the greenhouse over there. If I don't cultivate these seeds, these special varieties of melons will be extinct in the future."

There were actually loopholes in this lie. The simplest one was that his villa still had Quality 2 strawberries and okra.

Chapter 178

How had he found the watermelons?

What about the strawberries and okras?

Now that the villa was getting popular, more people were noticing it. Presumably, some people had already noticed these things.

He did not believe that there were no other scenic spots or restaurants that did not want to buy some watermelons, strawberries, and okra from Qinglin Villa!

Therefore, Qin Lin naturally thought hard for a long time before coming up with such an excuse.

It was true that there was a flaw in the rhetoric, but it wasn't irreparable, because some versions of Ranches Story had fertilizer.

Those fertilizers could make plants grow quickly or change their genes.

In the forum of the new version of the game, there were also some super hard working players who had already obtained special soil. The effect was similar, which meant that this new version of the game also had such things.

That made it easier.

At this stage, if others asked, it would be ambiguous. When he got such things in the future and went to his hometown to get them, he would say that there was something wrong with the fields.

Naturally, that was only one way. If it didn't work, he'd come up with plenty of other ideas.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen did not ask further when they heard Qin Lin's words.

They were not in the agricultural business, so it would be a pity if such delicious melons went extinct.

...

Li Qing squatted down and knocked on a watermelon. At the same time, he said, "Boss Qin, the situation with your watermelon should be a genetic mutation."

"A lot of crops mutate when they adapt to the environment. It's not uncommon in real life. Flowers like the monthly season, azaleas, and new varieties of pineapple honey can mutate everywhere. Even the common corn and rice more or less have varieties with genetic mutations."

"Some of these genetically mutated crops are for the better. They either produce more or are more delicious. The worst mutations are basically artificially destroyed."

"Aren't some space crops popular now? That's because it's easy for genes to mutate when those crops are brought into space. Our country already has experiments carrying out space genetic mutations in wheat, corn, rice, peanuts, soybeans, sesame seeds, and so on. I heard that there are also some results."

Ma Liewen smiled and said, "Not bad, Li Qing. You know quite a bit."

Li Qing explained, "I can't help it. You know that my uncle is in the agricultural research field. When he's at home, only I can chat with him. He's only interested in research, so that's all he can say."

"Pfft!" Lin Liu chuckled when he heard Li Qing's words. "One talks about agricultural research and the other talks about wine. It's hard for them to be able to chat so enthusiastically when they're not talking about the same thing."

These words made everyone laugh.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen even looked at each other. Perhaps Li Qing and his uncle were not talking about their respective specialties, but about the same problem.

In a family like Li Qing's, a child's path was basically fixed. They would either take the path of their parents or find something they liked to do like Li Qing.

After all, generations of connections had determined that their descendants would walk that path faster and easier.

Li Qing's brother and cousin had taken that path and stood out among the younger generation. They were the people that the family cared about the most.

On the other hand, someone like Li Qing, who was really not interested in that path, could only let it go. He would be an idle person for the rest of his life and no one would dare to provoke him. Everyone would give him face. However, he could not do business nor any career that would show his face. It was very difficult for him to have his own career.

Only when the old man passed away would his son's generation not have such restrictions.

Like Li Qing, the other party's uncle, Li Kai, did not want to take the same path as the old man. Moreover, he liked agricultural research and was also staying at an official agricultural research institute in Ming City. He had gained some fame.

"Sigh, let's not talk about that." Li Qing shook his head and walked curiously toward the big shed.

Qin Lin also walked into the greenhouse. He squatted down to check the vines of ordinary watermelons and game seeds, only to discover that some of the leaves had withered.

That made him frown. It wasn't good for the vines to have yellow leaves when they were just spreading. They tended to rot the vines.

He hurriedly disposed of all the yellowing leaves.

Li Qing looked at the two types of watermelon seedlings in the greenhouse and suddenly asked, "Boss Qin, if your seeds are successfully cultivated, will the quality of the watermelons be as delicious as those watermelons?"

Qin Lin knew that Li Qing was talking about watermelons of Quality 2. He smiled and continued to fabricate, "Mr. Li, there's really no way to guarantee that. Those watermelons are from the batch of seedlings that were discovered in the beginning. As you know, seedless watermelons don't have seeds. The watermelons in the courtyard are planted with seeds that have been cultivated."

"Then try those watermelons." Li Qing immediately suggested and walked out of the greenhouse. "It's definitely amazing that the seeds you cultivated can grow such delicious watermelons."

These words also interested Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.

Chen Shengfei said, "That's right, try this melon!"

"I'll pick one myself." Ma Liewen tapped one of those watermelons. He looked at it and picked it. No one knew if he understood which one was ripe.

However, judging by the way he chose a few and gave up, he couldn't tell.

Qin Lin actually knew that the taste of these melons was only Quality 1.

A Quality 2 seed could only grow a Quality 2 watermelon at Level 3 in the game. Outside, its attributes would decrease.

However, he did not expose them. Instead, he carried two watermelons and led Li Qing and Chen Shengfei to the kitchen in the hall.

There was a new kitchen over at the dining room. Moreover, the tools and kitchenware were new. Although Master Lin had brought everyone over there, it did not mean that this kitchen was abandoned. It still worked.

Moreover, Master Lin would still bring people to clean the kitchen.

Qin Lin placed the two watermelons in the pool and washed them. Then, he took a knife and cut open both watermelons. Then, he cut them into pieces and handed them to Li Qing, Chen Shengfei, and the others.

Chen Shengfei and the others also tasted the melon.

A moment later, Chen Shengfei said, "It tastes good, but it seems to be a lot worse than the 200 yuan per catty…"

Ma Liewen nodded. "It's a lot worse."

Watermelons of Quality 1 were more delicious than ordinary watermelons, but Chen Shengfei and the others had already eaten watermelons of Quality 2. Previously, Ma Liewen had bought more than 100 watermelons for his activities. Tang Wan, who had never been here, had also eaten watermelons of Quality 2.

Therefore, this Quality 1 watermelon did not surprise them too much.

Tang Wan suddenly said, "But it's still better than the ones sold at Li Fei's."

Chu Qing nodded and said, "Indeed, Li Fei's things are always so good and expensive, but none of them are as delicious as Boss Qin's. I wonder if he used inferior products to fool us in the past."

The two women obviously had something against Li Fei.

After all, they had spent a lot of money on Li Fei in the past. Now that they realized that the other party's things were only so-so, they were naturally a little dissatisfied.

Lin Liu said, "Li Fei sells luxury goods, so they look good. Boss Qin's goods are all practical. Are those luxury goods you bought durable? They only look good."

Hearing this, Tang Wan and Chu Qing looked at each other.

Could such an analogy be used?

It seemed to make sense.

"How do you think this melon compares to that Black Beauty and Qilin Watermelon from Watermelon County?" Li Qing suddenly asked.

"Eh, it's much more delicious." When Chen Shengfei heard this, he immediately understood what Li Qing meant. He remembered that there was a produce company that sold watermelons. Its market value was not low.

Ma Liewen also said, "This is competitiveness. It seems that there aren't any watermelon production bases under Ming City. Boss Qin, try your best to cultivate these watermelon seeds. Just keeping this taste alone will make you rich."

Even their wives understood their conversation.

They didn't know about Watermelon County, but they knew that Boss Qin's watermelons tasted much better than ordinary watermelons. They would definitely be very popular after planting them and wouldn't have to worry about selling them.

"Youcheng County is really lucky to have you here, Mr. Qin." Li Qing looked at Qin Lin and sighed.

Because of his family, he naturally knew that once this watermelon could be mass-produced, it would not only bring Boss Qin's financial income.

After this melon was cultivated, Youcheng County should worship him.

Chapter 179

Qin Lin naturally knew the value of this Quality 1 watermelon, but he had to cultivate this watermelon seed first.

After eating a slice of watermelon, Chen Shengfei asked Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, is this quota enough for the six of us?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Of course. It's almost dark. Should I arrange it for you now?"

This time, he was not stingy with the lucky draw for the Supreme Set. He had prepared it according to the weight of the entire family.

After all, there were many families who came out to travel. There were five or six people. If they won the prize, he couldn't be stingy and only prepare enough for two people.

Naturally, this amount could also be flexible. If the other party only had two people or one person, then just about the same amount would do. There was no need to waste it.

Chen Shengfei nodded and said, "Alright, make the arrangements. This time, Old Ma and I have agreed to take turns eating."

Ma Liewen also said, "Boss Qin, arrange three more rooms for us. Old Chen and I have already arranged the company's matters. We plan to spend two days on vacation. Your bridal room should still be available, right?"

"Since you asked, Mr. Ma, there must be one." Qin Lin nodded.

The bridal chamber would only be reserved for 140 rooms a day. There were still 10 rooms that were always kept in reserve just for such an occasion.

Qin Lin also picked up his phone and called Gao Yaoyao. "Yaoyao, register Room 1-3 and get Sister Hong to clean the rooms."

Each bridal chamber had a room number. Naturally, he reserved the number 1 to 10. Furthermore, it was a specially separate area. Each chamber was also more widely separated and the courtyard had more room.

Gao Yaoyao also knew what the 10 bridal rooms were for. After receiving Qin Lin's instructions, she immediately made arrangements.

...

As for the ID information, the boss had personally arranged for it to be filled in later.

Qin Lin did not arrange for Chen Shengfei's set meal to be served in the dining room. He arranged it in the main hall and asked Master Lin to bring the ingredients over to the kitchen.

After all, there were too many people at the restaurant. These two rich people might be able to be recognized after this acquisition. If they squeezed into the restaurant, they would definitely attract attention.

On the other hand, there was no one in the main hall. It was empty and there was no one to disturb them. It was convenient for them to talk about anything.

When the manor villa was done, he would arrange for them to go directly to the manor villa.

After making arrangements for Chen Shengfei and the others, Qin Lin went to continue collecting the melons. Then, he asked Chen Dabei to bring a cart over and send the melons to the sales center.

Not long after Chen Shengfei and the others sat down, Master Lin started cooking. Not long after, an apprentice served the dishes to the six of them.

"It's rare to see such a big conch in the wild," Chen Shengfei said in surprise.

"This eel is classic." Ma Liewen had already picked a slice of eel meat into his mouth. He picked up another slice as he spoke.

Both of them were clearly enjoying themselves. They had eaten everything, no matter how expensive, but this meal was definitely a treat even for them.

A moment.

Gao Yaoyao came over with a bottle of Qinglin Medicine Wine and placed it on the table. "Mr. Chen, this is your wine."

Ma Liewen picked up the antique bronze wine glass and looked at it. "Boss Qin, this wine is getting more and more high-class. The craftsmanship of the wine bottle is very exquisite and high-end. It's finally no longer a glass container bought for 20 yuan outside."

Chen Shengfei took the wine and nodded. "It's indeed more classy. Only this wine bottle is worthy of this wine."

With that, he opened the wine and poured a glass for himself and the others. Then he set the bottle down and drank from the glass.

When the wine entered his mouth, he was surprised. "This wine seems to have a much better texture than all the others."

"You can taste it too? The texture is indeed better." As he spoke, he asked Li Qing, "Li Qing, what year is this wine?"

"More than 10 years." Li Qing was also surprised. This wine that was more than 10 years old was indeed better than the new wine from before. After drinking a glass, he sighed and said, "Looks like Boss Qin is still hiding something good."

Previously, he had already felt that Boss Qin's medicinal wine had been unsealed too early. This effect coupled with the taste was a little wasteful. Today's medicinal wine perfectly made up for the flaw in the taste and directly surpassed the wine brewed by the two ancient Chinese medicine families.

Even rich people like Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were completely satisfied with this meal.

They acknowledged that this was the Supreme Set meal, and they were also qualified to do so.

After the meal, Gao Yaoyao led the six of them to Rooms 1-3.

…

The night passed.

On the third day of the Qinglin Villa's Supreme Set Meal, there were only seven spots left.

After two days of fermentation, the third day's tourist tide reached its peak.

In the chairman's office.

Qin Lin was already sitting at the tea table making tea. Beside the tea table sat Chen Shengfei, Li Qing, and Ma Liewen.

When their wives went to the Sea of Flowers to play, the three of them came to him to make tea.

Qin Lin picked up the brewed tea and poured a cup for the three of them. "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, there are still many scenic spots in Youcheng County that you can visit. Since it's a vacation, you can all go and visit them."

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Qin Lin shouted.

Gao Yaoyao opened the door and walked in with Chen Li.

"President Qin, sorry to disturb you again." Chen Li came in with a briefcase in his hand. He greeted Qin Lin and then looked at Chen Shengfei and the other two in surprise.

He naturally recognized Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.

These were the two tycoons of the city.

If these two people were willing to invest in the county, Sun Xian would probably be rushing to welcome them warmly.

The county had always known that these two were regulars of Qinglin Villa, but now it seemed that they were very familiar with Boss Qin.

He did not know the other person. To be able to sit with Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen meant that his identity was not simple.

Qin Lin immediately welcomed Chen Li over. "Let me introduce you to each other. Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, this is Chief Chen from the Youcheng County Tourism Bureau."

Chen Li immediately said to Chen Shengfei and the other two with a smile, "Youcheng County welcomes the three of you to travel."

"Chief Chen is too polite." Chen Shengfei could tell that this Chief Chen had an extraordinary relationship with Boss Qin, so he replied politely.

Ma Liewen and Li Qing did the same.

They didn't care about the chief of the Tourism Bureau of a small county, but they gave Boss Qin face.

Qin Lin asked Chen Li to sit down and poured him a cup of tea before asking, "Chief Chen, why did you come all the way here?"

"Indeed. I wonder if Boss Qin is interested in taking over a winery in the county?" Chen Li came over because of the winery in the county.

In order to convince Qin Lin, he had prepared information and excuses for the entire night.

"Take over the winery?" Qin Lin was a little surprised. He had never thought about this before. After all, he knew nothing about wine.

However, he was not stupid. On careful thought, he could roughly guess what was going on. The county must have taken a fancy to the current reputation of the Qinglin Medicine Wine.

Chen Li immediately nodded and said, "There's an old winery in the county. If Boss Qin is interested, the county can sell it to Boss Qin at the lowest price. Moreover, the winery will be tax-free for three years."

"Chief Chen, tell me in detail." Qin Lin didn't directly refuse or agree.

It was sold at the lowest price and tax-free for three years. It was obvious that this winery was not well run. It was definitely a burden on the county.

Now, they probably thought that he knew how to make wine and could make a winery, so they wanted him to take over.

But the county was obviously asking the wrong person. He did not know anything about alcohol.

However, Chen Li didn't know what Qin Lin was thinking and explained, "Boss Qin, actually, the wine brewed by this wine factory in the county has always been good. It was brewed by more than ten old masters with special skills, but it's not famous at all and couldn't be publicized. Moreover, there's a wine cellar in the wine factory that has been around for decades."

"A decades-old wine cellar?" Li Qing exclaimed.

In addition to the ingredients, the wine cellar was also very important.

A good wine cellar is also an important prerequisite for producing strong-smelling wines, especially strong-smelling white wine.

Because there were a wide variety of microbial communities that had different functions and were beneficial to brewing in the cellars and mud, only with high-quality cellars and mud could good wine be produced. Therefore, the longer the cellars were, the better.

A thousand-year-old cellar is worse than a ten thousand-year-old cellar. The wine is good because the cellar is old! This was talking about the wine pool and the wine trough in the wine cellar.

If you really wanted to know how much the winemakers' technology was worth, you might as well ask if they had a few more valuable old wine cellars.

Nowadays, many companies use new cellars to make wine. Thick fragrant wine could not reach the standard of T10781.1.

And decades of old cellars were rare enough.

At the thought of this, Li Qing couldn't help but say to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, you're also someone who knows wine. A wine cellar that has been around for decades is rare. Why don't we go take a look together?"

When Qin Lin heard this, he really wanted to say, "Mr. Li, you've misunderstood. I really don't know how to drink."

However, he understood what Li Qing meant. A wine cellar that had been around for decades was a good thing.

Moreover, he had heard that the wine he bought in the countryside might not be inferior to those brands. Many people would rather go to the countryside to buy their own wine.

If this wine cellar was really something good, he really didn't mind taking it over. After all, it would be more convenient for him to get the Qinglin Medicine Wine in the future, and it would also be easier to conceal it from the outside world.

He remembered that in Ranches Story, Ore Town had a wine recipe. It seemed to be grape wine. Other versions had the same recipe. If he could get it, this wine cellar would be useful again.

Moreover, with an expert like Li Qing here, it would be a pity not to make use of him. Li Qing could tell if there was a problem with the winery.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Qing, "Mr. Li, let's go and take a look. Besides, since you're so interested, how about I give you a stake?"

"What kind?" Li Qing was interested.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "A bottle of medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle."

Li Qing's attention was caught. "Medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Gold, silver, and copper. Copper is naturally the lowest grade."

"Silver-bottled wine is better than bronze?" Li Qing's eyes instantly lit up, even a little hot.

There was no need to mention the effects of this medicinal wine. The taste of the 10-year-old medicinal wine yesterday was already very good. Now that Boss Qin said that it was only the lowest grade, wouldn't it be at the level of old wine if there were higher grade silver bottles?

Li Qing immediately said impatiently, "Boss Qin, how can I get this prize?"

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also looked over.

If it was gold, silver, and copper, and there were copper and silver, then there was also gold, right? So what kind of wine was it?

Li Qing was right. Boss Qin hid a lot of good stuff.

When Qin Lin heard Li Qing's words, he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, when we go to the wine factory later, I won't say anything. You can check the wine cellar and wine of the wine factory and evaluate the wine. Let's see how far your evaluation is from mine. If you can do it as well as mine, then I'll give you a bottle of medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle."

When Li Qing heard this, he said decisively, "Boss Qin, even I can't compare to you in brewing wine. However, if you want to taste wine and verify the winery, then if I, Li Qing, say that I'm second in the province, then no one will dare to say that they're first. I'll definitely take your prize."

Qin Lin smiled. He wanted him to be so confident!

Chapter 180

The two cars headed up a road in the hills.

One of the cars was led by Chen Li and his assistant, Zhong Lei, while the other was driven by Qin Lin with Li Qing.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also joined in the fun.

The winery Chen Li had mentioned was neither in the county nor in the industrial area.

Unlike other factories, wineries had extremely high requirements for location.

The first element was the water quality and water source. Water was one of the important raw materials for brewing wine, so there was a saying that a good spring produced good wine.

Most wineries with famous vintage wines had their own spring or close to quality water sources.

Li Qing looked at the dense forest and said in surprise, "Boss Qin, we might have really picked up a treasure. In this mountain, the winery might have a source of mountain spring water. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Mountain spring water was the water source of choice for brewing wine. The taste of the wine brewed was much better than ordinary water that had just reached the standard of acidic PH.

However, mountain spring water was a minority after all. Most places were occupied. Even most of the wine brewed by Maotai had been purified by modern technology. It was just that the PH value was handled very well. There was still a difference.

When the car stopped, they saw clear water flowing into the distillery's reservoir.

Li Qing got out of the car and went to the reservoir immediately. He reached his hand in slightly, cupped a little, and drank it. Then, he nodded and said, "It's indeed mountain spring water."

The winery was not large. After all, it was just an old winery that was not well run and did not have the capital to expand.

...

"Boss Qin, it's here. Let's go in and take a look." Chen Li got out of the car and walked towards Qin Lin. At the same time, he looked at Chen Shengfei and the other two behind Qin Lin.

He felt that the county was wrong. If the relationship between these two tycoons and Boss Qin was only that of ordinary customers, it would be impossible for them to accompany Boss Qin all over the mountain.

Under such circumstances, they would only join in the fun if they were on good terms.

As soon as they entered the winery, the smell of a wine trough hit them. It was the alternative fragrance of the distiller's yeast that had fermented during the brewing process.

As soon as Li Qing entered the winery, he seemed to get into the mood. "Boss Qin, the taste of this wine is not bad. Just this alone is not inferior to many brand wineries."

The taste of the wine trough was also a factor in the preliminary judgment of a winery.

A winery without the taste of a wine trough was, needless to say, a canned winery. It wasn't brewed by the winery.

The wine troughs were generally sour, pungent, and somewhat unpleasant to smell. Those that didn't need to be thought of were ordinary or even inferior.

And the taste of the wine trough hit him in the face. With the alternative fragrance of fermented rice, the wine would not be bad.

Qin Lin only nodded and didn't say anything, afraid that he would expose himself.

At this moment, it all depended on Li Qing's performance.

There were more than a dozen old masters in the winery turning over their distiller's yeast.

One of the old masters was giving instructions.

Seeing Chen Li bring people in, these people all looked over with worried expressions.

Chief Chen was here yesterday.

They both knew the county was selling the winery.

The winery was really not doing well. If selling it was not enough, the winery might really be gone soon.

They had been in this winery all their lives. They had all started their apprenticeship at a young age. At that time, it would be easier to find a wife if they could enter this winery.

This job lasted a lifetime.

Although times had changed, they had developed feelings for the winery after working here for a long time.

Therefore, they naturally did not want the winery to be gone.

It was all those damned managers who put on airs and did not know anything.

"Chief Chen!" The old supervisor ran over and subconsciously looked at Qin Lin and the others behind Chen Li. He guessed that they were here to see the boss of the winery.

Chen Li also introduced him to Qin Lin. "Boss Qin, this is Master Zhang. He's also the person in charge of the winery."

Then, he introduced him to Master Zhang. "Master Zhang, this is Boss Qin. Although he's young, he's the boss of Qinglin Villa."

"That Qinglin Villa?" Master Zhang's worried expression turned into surprise.

The other masters also subconsciously looked at Qin Lin.

"Is he the owner of Qinglin Villa?"

"I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"My children were saying last night that a bottle of wine in Qinglin Villa is worth 60,000 yuan."

"How expensive. One bottle is equivalent to more than a thousand bottles of our wine!"

"…"

As a citizen of Youcheng County, there was no one who did not know about Qinglin Villa. From the elderly to the children, it was already a place that everyone in Youcheng County could boast about.

But the 60,000-dollar meal and the 60,000-dollar bottle of wine left the people of Youcheng County speechless.

How could a small city with an average salary of 4,000 yuan have such expensive food and wine?

The salary they earned without eating or drinking in a year was not enough for a meal.

"Boss Qin, hello, hello." Master Zhang immediately shook Qin Lin's hand warmly. There was no longer any worry on his face. Instead, he said anxiously, "Boss Qin, our winery's wine is not bad. These old fellows have decades of craftsmanship. As long as we manage this winery well, we will definitely not lose out."

This was probably the effect of reputation.

Who asked Qinglin Villa to be so famous now and even have a bottle of wine worth 60,000 yuan?

In Master Zhang's eyes, the boss of Qinglin Villa definitely knew how to drink. He would definitely feel at ease handing the wine factory to such a person.

Master Zhang's expression made Chen Li unable to react for a moment.

Was this still the same look he'd had last night, begging them to consider it and not want the county winery at all?

Chapter 181

Now, he couldn't wait for Boss Qin to buy the winery, right?

However, Master Zhang had already increased his strength and said, "President Qin, although our liquor factory's sales are not doing well, it's definitely not about the wine. It's all about the management. The officials in the county are all full of nonsense and don't know what to ask. They don't even know the basic fermentation of alcohol. They're also slacking off when running sales."

"This winery is a mess for them to manage. When you and the county buy the winery, you must not let them fool you. This winery is worthless except for our technology. Don't pay them a penny more."

"…" Chen Li suddenly felt mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, the county didn't want to negotiate the price with Boss Qin. They had long set the lowest price and tax-free for Boss Qin.

Otherwise, wouldn't Master Zhang be a mole if he really negotiated the price according to the normal price?

He hasn't even bought the winery yet, and he was already putting himself in the position of his employee?

Wasn't this position a little too crooked?

Li Qing laughed.

He might be able to understand Master Zhang's feelings. It was inevitable for many state-owned enterprises to have chaotic management. It was common for abilities and positions to be incompatible.

Moreover, the smaller the place, the more obvious the situation was. After all, it was normal for one person to do things while two people did nothing. It was obvious what kind of person was sent to the winery.

From the moment they entered the wine factory, the smell of fermented wine meant that there should be no problem with the wine fragrance. If this wine was placed in the hands of an ordinary person, it would not be impossible to manage it well.

But not if it was a state-owned enterprise…

...

Master Zhang must have been bullied often. Now that he met Boss Qin, who not only knew how to make wine, but could also brew the Qinglin Medicine Wine, he would definitely become a bosom friend and immediately surrender to him.

Qin Lin was embarrassed by Master Zhang. He had yet to decide on a winery, so he could only say, "Master Zhang, let's go take a look at that decades-old wine cellar!"

"Alright, Boss Qin, follow me." Master Zhang warmly welcomed Qin Lin and the others into the wine cellar.

Many places in the wine cellar were empty. After all, business wasn't good, and there wouldn't be much wine stored.

Master Zhang also began to introduce, "Boss Qin, the most valuable thing in our winery is this decades-old wine cellar."

After entering the wine cellar, Li Qing squatted down and knocked on the ground. Then, he grabbed some soil around him and rubbed it carefully. He put it to his nose and sniffed…

Qin Lin had no idea what Li Qing was doing, but Li Qing was surprisingly serious at this moment, as if he respected his profession.

Therefore, he also pretended to follow Li Qing to see what he would do. Occasionally, he would follow suit. After all, he could not expose himself.

Otherwise, if Li Qing found out that he was being tested by a newbie in the industry, his mentality would probably collapse.

Master Zhang's smile widened when he saw the two of them. Not only did Boss Qin know how to drink, but the people he brought also knew how to drink.

Moreover, the two of them had obviously done some research on the wine cellar. If the other party took over the wine factory, it would definitely make things different.

After some time, Li Qing said, "The walls are made of stone, and the bottom of the cellar is covered in yellow mud. Depending on the composition, this cellar might be over 50 or 60 years old. There are enough microorganisms in this old cellar mud to give the white wine a special fragrance."

When Master Zhang heard this, he immediately said in admiration, "Sir, you're awesome. It's been more than 60 years since my master's master got this kiln in the county when he was young. At that time, the yellow mud was still from another old cellar. The wine produced by this cellar is indeed more fragrant than the outside, but we don't know what microorganism it is."

"It's such a waste for this wine cellar to close down," Li Qing said as he glanced at Chen Li. There was no need to say who he was scolding.

When Master Zhang heard this, he looked at Chen Li and immediately agreed with Li Qing. "Isn't that so? What a waste. These people don't know anything and only know how to mess around."

"…" Chen Li was speechless. Why was everyone looking at him? He wasn't the one who was messing around. He wasn't in charge either.

At this moment, Li Qing suddenly walked to a spot and knocked on the door. He looked surprised and subconsciously glanced at Master Zhang.

Master Zhang was clearly a little nervous.

Because there was something good hidden under there. He didn't want to be discovered.

If the officials in the winery found out that the winery hadn't been sold, the things inside might have been ruined by those few people. He hurriedly diverted his attention and said, "Boss Qin, come and try our wine. Because the benefits aren't good, there aren't any aged wines. Most of the new wines are only two years old."

Li Qing saw that Master Zhang had already gone to the side to move the wine and did not say anything.

Not long after, Master Zhang brought over three small bottles and more than ten small glasses. He poured the wine into them and said, "Boss Qin, try it. These are wines produced by our winery, a new year, a half-year wine, and the longest two-year wine."

When Li Qing heard this, he went forward and picked up the three bottles of wine and sniffed them. "Yes, the wine fragrance is as expected. It's very good. It must be different from Maotai. It's definitely better than ordinary Maotai. Most brands only have this wine fragrance from the old cellar."

Chapter 182

Hearing Li Qing's words, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also curiously stepped forward and raised their wine glasses to their noses to smell them. Then, both of them revealed looks of surprise.

"This is really good!"

"The wine aroma is indeed very positive and strong."

The two of them were not professional sommeliers, but they had drunk a lot of famous wine. They could still distinguish the basic fragrance of the wine.

Qin Lin curiously picked up the wine and placed it on the tip of his nose. It had to be said that this was indeed a little different from the medicinal wine he had bought previously.

The fragrance of the wine was indeed very pleasant.

To be honest, this was the first time he had smelled it. No wonder the ancients always said that wine fragrance was charming.

This pure fragrance was indeed different from ordinary wine.

At this moment, Li Qing picked up the two-year-old wine and tasted it with his eyes closed. After a while, he said, "Rice, sweet potato starch, glutinous rice, wheat…"

When Master Zhang heard Li Qing mention the names of the materials, his expression became more and more incredulous. He even admired them because these were the materials they used according to the ratio. Moreover, they were told in the order in which they composed the songs.

The person Boss Qin brought was too powerful.

"What a pity!" Li Qing suddenly said, "Such a good wine cellar and the brewing techniques are not bad, but what inferior materials are used? It's been two years and the taste is still so bad. With such good conditions, it's not anyone's fault that the wine factory can't survive."

In addition to the age of the cellar, the taste of the wine was also related to the material. Moreover, the better the material, the better the texture. Even if it was the same age, there were more or less some differences between the materials.

...

However, the taste of the wine could be easily distinguished.

When Master Zhang heard this, he became a little anxious. "Sir, we really can't blame the wine factory for this. We're only in charge of brewing, but those people keep saying that they want to save money. The materials they bought for us are unknown and can only barely meet our requirements. As long as they give us high-quality materials, we can definitely brew better wine with this old wine cellar."

Li Qing looked at Chen Li with a frown. "You guys are really wasting God's gift."

Chen Li was helpless and could only say awkwardly, "Mr. Li, so don't you want Boss Qin to take over? It's indeed a waste in our hands."

Li Qing snorted and said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, this old wine cellar is indeed not bad. My results are that I can get my hands on it, but don't let others mess around. With this old wine cellar, it's really ridiculous to deduct the materials for brewing wine."

This was the first time Qin Lin had seen Li Qing mocking people endlessly. It seemed that he really loved wine and was ashamed to step on good things. Therefore, he also smiled and said to Chen Li, "Chief Chen, I can take over this winery, but I don't want any follow-up trouble. After all, Master Zhang said that there are a few people who aren't good for nothing!"

When Master Zhang heard Qin Lin's words, his face was filled with joy. "We should have gotten rid of those bastards long ago."

"Don't worry, Boss Qin. The county will handle it." Chen Li heaved a sigh of relief. His mission was completed, but he had to deal with those things first.

After all, it was a county enterprise, and the management was still a deputy-share position. He can't play any tricks.

According to Boss Qin and the others, the conditions of this liquor factory should be very good. It shouldn't be to the extent of maintaining such functions. There might be something fishy going on.

After the inspection of the winery, Qin Lin agreed to take over, so Chen Li called the county to report the news.

When Qin Lin brought his men out of the winery, he also brought a few bottles of wine with him. He wanted to enter the game to see the specific information.

Master Zhang sent it out warmly. "Boss, let's leave your number. If you want to ask about the winery's situation later, just call me directly."

Okay, he skipped the word "Qin."

At the side, Chen Li felt that he had become an outsider before the winery was sold.

Qin Lin smiled and gave his business card to Master Zhang before bringing his men up.

After the car started up again and went down the mountain, Li Qing asked impatiently, "Boss Qin, how's the inspection? I should be able to get the prize, right?"

Seeing that Li Qing was in such a hurry, Qin Lin put on an act and said, "Mr. Li is indeed a professional. Although it's a little different from my verification, Mr. Li has passed. The prize is yours."

Naturally, he did not know what the difference was because he did not understand at all.

However, it didn't matter. He'd served his purpose.

When Li Qing heard this, he was shocked. "Boss Qin, you managed to taste that starch? I wasn't sure just now, so I didn't say anything."

"I think there's still some corn starch in the liquor factory's ingredients. It's just that there's too little and it's mixed with potato starch. I can't be sure at all. I didn't expect Boss Qin to have already tasted it. I'm really ashamed of my inferiority now."

"Tsk… tsk…" Qin Lin was stunned.

This worked too?

Chapter 183

It was almost noon when Qin Lin returned to the villa with Li Qing, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen.

After parking and getting out of the car with the bottles of wine he'd brought back from the winery, he led the three of them to the old hall.

In the hall.

Chu Qing, Lin Liu, and Tang Wan sat around the table by the window. After playing at the Sea of Flowers, they realized that their husbands had gone up the mountain. They could only sit and chat in boredom.

There was also a plate of fruit in front of them. It was the strawberries that cost 200 yuan a catty sold by the sales center.

Chu Qing was picking up a strawberry when she saw a squirrel dressed in small clothes with a bag in front of it.

That got her attention.

Lin Liu and Tang Wan were also attracted by the squirrel.

"Red Hair, don't disturb the guests." Zhao Moqing came out of the kitchen with a plate of watermelons.

Her husband had taken their three husbands to the mountains. Naturally, she had to treat them well.

"It's fine!" Chu Qing hurriedly shook his hand and asked, "Moqing, is its name Red Hair?"

"The little guy is called Red Hair." Zhao Moqing nodded and placed the watermelon in her hand on the table.

Suddenly surprised, Lin Liu said, "It looks like it's looking at the strawberries. Is it going to eat the strawberries?"

...

Was it?

Lin Liu and Tang Wan also realized that the little guy was staring at the strawberries on the table.

Chu Qing waved the strawberry in front of Red Hair in surprise.

This strawberry was Quality 2. Red Hair's gaze immediately followed the strawberry. Its stupid and cute appearance made the three girls laugh.

"I'll stop teasing you." Chu Qing placed the strawberry in front of Red Hair.

Almost as quickly as it could, it grabbed the strawberry that was a little too big for it and nibbled on it.

"Squeak!" Red Hair's saliva covered the strawberry and it squeaked happily. It even narrowed its eyes in obvious enjoyment.

Squirrels would also be fascinated by strawberries of Quality 2.

This human-like expression surprised the three women again.

Seeing this, Zhao Moqing stopped caring about Red Hair. She turned around and saw Qin Lin bringing Chen Shengfei and the other two into the hall.

"You're back? Why did you go up the mountain?" Zhao Moqing asked curiously.

"The county wants us to take over a winery. We went to the winery to take a look." Qin Lin explained and asked Li Qing and the others, "It's already noon. Shall we serve you guys lunch first? I'll go get Mr. Li's prize too."

"I'll listen to Boss Qin." Li Qing's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Yes, listen to Boss Qin!"

"Boss Qin, just arrange it."

When Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen heard the bet, they immediately echoed with anticipation.

After knowing that there were higher-grade bottles of wine in imitation of ancient silver bottles, they kept thinking about it all the way back.

Qin Lin nodded and instructed Zhao Moqing, "Get Master Lin to cook for Mr. Li and the others."

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhao Moqing nodded.

Only then did Qin Lin leave the hall with the bottles of wine he had brought back from the winery and head to his office.

Li Fei and the other two also went to the table by the window and sat down beside their wives.

Zhao Moqing picked up his phone and arranged for Master Lin to cook. Then, he put down his phone. Gao Yaoyao brought a few people in.

"Sister Moqing!" Gao Yaoyao saw Zhao Moqing and went forward to report, "This is Mr. Liu. He also bought two spots for the Supreme Set meal. He's bringing his company's people over now. He doesn't want to be in the restaurant, so he came here."

"Yes!" Zhao Moqing nodded and smiled at Mr. Liu. "Sir, welcome. Sit here."

She knew who had bought the spot. This should be Liu Yi, a tycoon in Ming City.

She led Liu Yi to a table and sat down.

Liu Yi had come today for Qinglin Medicine Wine.

Previously, through Chen Shengfei, he had deduced that the wine that Old Master Li had obtained was the medicinal wine from Qinglin Villa.

Behind Liu Yi, a bespectacled man sat down and frowned. "President Liu, is the medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa really that good? Do you have to make a special trip here? The environment in the hall doesn't look good. I'm afraid the effect of this medicinal wine is also…"

"Shut up!" Liu Yi glared at this person and suddenly stood up and walked towards the table by the window.

He saw Chen Shengfei, Ma Liewen, and Li Qing.

The others also saw Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen at this moment and were more or less surprised. They knew that these two were on the same level as their boss.

Liu Yi arrived at Chen Shengfei's table and greeted them with a smile. "President Chen, President Ma, and Young Master Li, I didn't expect you to be here too."

"President Liu is here too." Chen Shengfei stood up and shook hands with Liu Yi.

So did Ma Liewen.

Although they did not have much interaction with Liu Yi's business, everyone's company strength was there. People of the same level would meet on many occasions, so they could be considered acquaintances.

On the other hand, Li Qing smiled and said, "President Liu, your subordinate doesn't seem to be very capable. He's too impatient and actually came to a conclusion so hastily."

"Young Master Li is right!" Liu Yi glanced at his subordinate.

He knew that his subordinate was capable, but he had indeed exposed a small problem today.

Ma Liewen, on the other hand, asked curiously, "President Liu, how many times have you bought a winning spot?"

Liu Yi smiled and explained, "I bought two spots. Looks like President Ma and President Chen have bought quite a few spots, right?"

Chen Shengfei complained, "President Liu, why are you joining in the fun? Old Ma and I had already discussed that we would each buy half of the slots. With your interference, we only bought three slots. I wonder if my assistant bought any today."

Chapter 184

Liu Yi said embarrassedly, "President Chen, this wine is good stuff, but I'm also abiding by the rules. Zhao Furong doesn't abide by the rules. He only wants the wine for 60,000 yuan and doesn't want the set meal. This price is too high."

When Ma Liewen heard this, he immediately complained, "He's from real estate, it's the upstart style."

"Isn't that so?" Liu Yi echoed. From the looks of Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen, it proved that the medicinal wine of Qinglin Villa was indeed good.

That gave him something more to look forward to.

…

Qin Lin brought the bottles of wine back to his office and locked the door. Then, with a thought, he brought the bottles into the game.

When he was at the winery, he learned about the pros and cons of this wine from Li Qing. However, he was a layman and heard from Li Qing that it was not that straightforward. He could get a more intuitive understanding of it by looking at the data in the game.

This reminded him that he also knew something about wine.

After all, Qinglin Medicine Wine would be the signature wine of Qinglin Villa in the future. Li Qing and the others all thought that he was a master. At the very least, he had to know some wine theories to fool them.

However, when he looked at the wine, Qin Lin was stunned.

[Fragrant White Wine: Quality 1 (Unnamed)]

[Fragrant White Wine: Quality 1 (Unnamed)]

…

...

[Fragrant White Wine: Quality 1 (Unnamed)]

With a rough look, he realized that this wine was actually Quality 1.

There was such a thing?

They were really all Quality 1. Even if the county's winery was given to a few managers to mess around with, it was impossible for them to fall to such a state.

He immediately looked at the details.

[This is a rich white wine produced by an old wine cellar. It naturally has a mellow fragrance and is an excellent material for brewing wine. Rich wine fragrance +1]

Qin Lin looked at the detailed notes of the few bottles of wine and realized that they were all the same. Each bottle was filled with a rich wine fragrance +1.

This was also the reason for the wine Quality 1.

However, this made sense. No matter how good the wine smelled, it would not taste good.

This was like many games. Even if the attributes of some top-grade games were trash, their grades were still top-grade. Some top-grade attributes still needed to be matched to be effective.

This was the case with the current wine factory's Quality 1 wine. The wine fragrance was given by the old cellar, but just the wine fragrance alone was not enough.

No matter how fragrant it was, would you drink it? But if it was rice, it was different.

If the taste of this wine could be mixed with this +1 wine fragrance, the entire quality would increase.

According to Li Qing and Master Zhang, the taste of this wine was so bad because it was brewed with inferior materials. If it could be brewed with high-quality materials, the taste would definitely improve.

The key was that the note said that this wine was a good material for brewing medicinal wine.

Previously, the medicinal wine he brewed was all loose wine sold outside.

If he took over the wine factory, the quality of Qinglin Medicine Wine would increase again in the future.

He was a little more enthusiastic about the winery now.

Qin Lin retracted his thoughts. A moment later, he exited the game with a thought. He was already holding a bottle of medicinal wine in an ancient silver bottle.

This medicinal wine was the first batch of medicinal wine to be brewed. According to the time ratio, the precipitation time of the wine had increased by another year in the past two days.

It was probably 23 years old!

This texture was definitely not comparable to those imitation bronze equipment.

Back in reality, Qin Lin left the office and sent the wine to Li Qing.

…

In the old hall of Qinglin Villa.

Li Qing's table and Liu Yi's table had already served a large serving of tofu fish soup. The same soup was white and decorated with green onions. It should have been made in the same pot.

Tofu fish soup was the most common way to cook fish. It was also very simple.

However, if the ingredients were good, the more high-end the ingredients, the easier it was to retain the taste of the ingredients themselves.

Li Qing, Chen Shengfei, and the others had eaten such wild goods more than once. Even if it was delicious, they were still calm.

But Liu Yi's table was different.

Liu Yi got a bowl of fish soup and had just picked up a piece of fish when his eyes lit up.

He liked to eat fish, and every time he went to the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, he would ask the other party to prepare some high-end fish meat for him. It was not the first time he had eaten wild goods in the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

But that wasn't right.

Those from the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion were wild goods. Then what was different with the goods from Qinglin Villa? How could its taste and texture surpass that of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion?

Could there be more to the wild goods of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion?

Liu Yi's subordinates were equally surprised.

The bespectacled man hurriedly said, "President Liu, I was too superficial just now. There's something different about Qinglin Villa. This fish is much more delicious than the one from the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion."

The other person also said, "Indeed, they're also wild goods. Previously, when we went to the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion with President Liu, they were far inferior to this."

They were deep in discussion when they saw the head waiter who had brought them to the lobby bring in two bottles of medicinal wine that looked like antique bronze bottles.

Liu Yi's eyes immediately revealed anticipation.

This thing was finally coming up.

Gao Yaoyao placed one of the bottles of medicinal wine on Liu Yi's table. "Mr. Liu, this is your Qinglin Medicine Wine."

After that, he sent another bottle of Qinglin Medicine Wine to Li Qing's table.

Liu Yi looked at the bottle and picked it up immediately. The bottle was indeed the same as the rumors online. It looked very high-end.

He opened the potion and poured himself a glass, then one for his men. "Try one, all of you. Let's see what this potion is like."

His subordinates were also very curious about whether Qinglin Medicine Wine was as magical as the Internet said.

Liu Yi also picked up his cup of medicinal wine and drank it. After taking a sip, he felt that the wine tasted good and should be some years old.

But if it was just this texture, it seemed that many of his precious Maotai at home also had this texture.

However, he also knew that this was medicinal wine. Moreover, its effect was comparable to the medicinal wine produced by the two ancient Chinese medicine families in Min Province. It could not be judged purely by its taste.

Not long after, Liu Yi found an inexplicable warmth flowing through his body, especially at his waist. It felt very comfortable.

"The effect is so strong?" Liu Yi was shocked.

He had drunk the medicinal wine from the two traditional Chinese medicine families in Min Province. That medicinal wine was very effective. Not long after drinking it, he would feel warm all over. The kidney nourishing effect would also make his waist warm.

However, the medicinal wine of Qinglin Villa seemed to be a little faster than the effects of the two families.

Liu Yi's subordinates clearly felt it too. All of them looked incredulous.

"You feel it? That warm feeling?"

"Well, it's incredible that drinking can actually have such an effect."

"Yes, that warm feeling is too comfortable."

"You're lucky to taste this wine," Liu Yi said regretfully. One had to know that even he could not drink this wine just because he wanted to.

He had to rely on luck to get some of the wine from the two Chinese medicine families in Min Province. After all, there were enough people at the upper echelons of Min Province to keep an eye on it.

This time, he was lucky to be able to buy two spots from Qinglin Villa. It was all thanks to the fact that not many people knew about it. Otherwise, the wine in Qinglin Villa would definitely be as difficult to obtain as the two families in the future.

"President Liu, another cup please." The bespectacled man suddenly handed the cup over with anticipation in his eyes.

The others did the same. One drink was not enough.

"…" Liu Yi suddenly regretted bringing his subordinates here. Didn't they agree to only have a taste?

However, these people were the backbone of the company, so they definitely could not be stingy with a glass of wine. He could only endure the pain and pour them another glass.

He was a little envious of Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen. He wondered how much wine these two had obtained in this villa.

As he thought about it, he looked at Chen Shengfei's table and was surprised to find that there was no wine at that table. The bottle of wine that had just been served was no longer on the table. It should have been put away.

Was that necessary?

No matter how good the wine was, they were still rich people. Why were they so petty that they couldn't bear to drink it?

As Liu Yi was thinking, he suddenly realized that Li Qing had stood up. Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen had also stood up and looked at the door.

This made him look curiously. A young man came into the hall.

Something was wrong.

Liu Yi then saw Li Qing, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen stand up together and welcome the young man with smiles.

"?" Liu Yi was shocked. What was going on?

These three were all big shots in the Ming City, especially Li Qing and Young Master Li. Now, the three of them were actually welcoming a young man so warmly?

They didn't open the wine and put it away. Were they waiting for this young man?

Who was this young man?

Clearly, he did not know that Li Qing and the other two were only welcoming wine!

Chapter 185

Liu Yi stood up in surprise. There were only a few people in the province who could make Young Master Li, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen welcome them.

Could this young man be one of them?

Li Qing walked up to Qin Lin and stared at the bottle of wine that looked like ancient silver. "Boss Qin, is this the wine?"

He was a true lover of wine. His passion for it was only slightly less than his passion for his wife.

Moreover, if this wine was really as high-grade as Boss Qin had said, it might completely surpass the medicinal wine of the two traditional Chinese medicine families in Min Province.

Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen naturally knew this, so they were very enthusiastic.

They really didn't know how much good wine Boss Qin had hidden.

"Mr. Li, here!" Qin Lin looked at Li Qing's anxious expression and handed over the wine in his hand.

Li Qing took the wine and studied it.

The bottle looked exactly the same as the imitation ancient bronze bottle, but it had turned from bronze to silver. Moreover, the silver was obviously real, making it seem more high-class and noble.

"Li Qing, quickly try this wine." Chen Shengfei urged impatiently.

Ma Liewen added, "Li Qing, given our relationship, you can't keep this wine to yourself."

Li Qing rolled his eyes at the two of them and returned to the table with the wine. Wasn't Ma Liewen keeping the bronze-grade medicinal wine because he was eyeing his prize?

...

Li Qing sat down again and eagerly opened the wine.

At this moment, Liu Yi also understood that the reason why Li Qing and the other two were so enthusiastic was because of the wine. If it could make the three of them look like this, it went without saying that the wine in the silver bottle was definitely better than the bronze one.

Liu Yi's subordinates also started discussing.

"That wine packet they took seemed different."

"One is in silver and the other is in a copper case. The silver seems more sophisticated."

"This bronze wine already has this effect. There's a higher level?"

When Liu Yi heard this, he walked towards Qin Lin without hesitation. He had heard what Li Qing and the other two said just now. This Boss Qin must be the owner of the villa.

"Hello, Boss Qin." Liu Yi walked up to Qin Lin and greeted him very politely. He even took out a business card and handed it to Qin Lin. He introduced himself, "I'm Liu Yi. It's my honor to meet Boss Qin."

He kept his attitude straight, because he knew very well that first impressions were very important in a relationship.

From the attitude of Li Qing and the other two, he could tell that this Boss Qin was worth knowing. He might come to ask for wine in the future, so it would be good to show his face in advance, right?

Qin Lin naturally knew about Liu Yi.

The person who had registered at the backstage of the villa was a tycoon on the same level as Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen.

He just hadn't expected him to be here already.

After Qin Lin took the business card, he shook hands with Liu Yi warmly. Then, he took out his business card and handed it to him. "Mr. Liu, welcome. This is my business card. If you have any instructions in the villa, you can call me directly."

The other party was a tycoon of this level, so he had to give him face.

Moreover, the other party did not give him an uncomfortable feeling on their first meeting.

Politeness and respect were given to each other.

Take Lu Jianxian for example. Even if he was smiling at you, you could still feel the fake and uncomfortable feeling.

Liu Yi took the business card and put it away solemnly in front of Qin Lin. Then, he asked, "Boss Qin, do you still have the wine you gave Young Master Li just now? I also want to beg for a bottle."

Qin Lin had actually already guessed Liu Yi's motive. He smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, if there's still that wine, I'm naturally willing to sell you a bottle. However, that silver wine is rarer than the copper wine. I only have this bottle for the time being because I made a bet with Mr. Li and he has earned it as a prize. However, there's a lot of bronze wine. If there's more, I can inform Mr. Liu."

He gave Liu Yi face first and did not completely reject him. For the time being, there was only one bottle of silver, which meant that there would be more later.

As for when it would be available, it would depend on his mood and how many mountain goods spawned in the game.

"Thank you, Boss Qin. I hope you can give me another bottle of this silver wine in the future." Liu Yi sighed when he heard Qin Lin's words and didn't insist.

He knew that this kind of wine was indeed rare. He also knew that Boss Qin must have some in stock, but it was one thing to beg for it.

Was there really no stock of medicinal wine produced by the two families of traditional Chinese medicine in Min Province every year?

That was impossible.

However, they had to do it as a favor. After all, they still had to maintain their friendship with some people. It was impossible for them not to leave any alcohol behind.

Others could not ask for it because their friendship was not there, or their status was not there.

At the other table.

Li Qing immediately poured a small glass for himself, Chen Shengfei, and the others.

However, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen were like two children waiting for a drink. As soon as the wine was poured, they picked it up and drank it.

Li Qing, on the other hand, picked up the wine as usual.

One small sip and he could taste the difference in the wine.

It was indeed old wine, at least twenty years old. The taste was so much stronger than that of the 10-year-old bronze wine.

It wasn't just the texture. He could feel that the herbs had also fused more perfectly with the wine. The effect was even faster.

All in all, a 10-year one was not in the same league as a 20-year one.

Chapter 186

This was also why 20-year-old wine was so much more expensive than 10-year-old wine on the market.

However, in recent years, many sober people who thought that they were knowledgeable objected. The longer they advocated alcohol, the better.

They would raise all kinds of scientific arguments.

For example, equipment consumption, damage, and aging would cause the reaction in the wine to stop. The medicinal wine materials would also be affected by the environment, the seal, and the climate. After a long time, the effect would decrease… These were all validations. They even did scientific experiments.

In any case, when the wine reached a certain age, it would have the best taste in about 10 years. If it was stored any longer, the taste would start to deteriorate. It was purely a tax on intelligence.

However, these people did not understand that the 100-year-old wine and 100-year-old medicinal wine were just casually mentioned.

If a rich man was willing to spend millions on a 100-year-old wine, was he more sober or stupid than these people?

The longer the wine was, the more expensive it would be. Apart from the fact that the longer the wine was, the better the precipitation and the better the texture, another reason was that after a long time, these sober people would appear. Hard to preserve was also one of the reasons for its high value.

If it was so easy to preserve wine for 100 years and become a true 100-year-old wine, then the 100-year-old wine would not be so valuable.

Rich people would spend millions on real 100-year-old wine, but they wouldn't spend millions on those 100-year-old wines that had problems midway.

He should have figured out the difference.

After Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen drank the wine, they did not want to say anything else and directly handed the cup to Li Qing.

Then the meaning was clear. He wanted another drink.

...

Not to mention the effect of the wine, just the taste alone was much better than before. It seemed to be even better than those branded 20-year-old wines that cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each.

Even if it wasn't medicinal wine, this texture could make one's mouth water.

Seeing this, Li Qing said kindly, "Old Chen, Old Ma, this medicinal wine is very nourishing. It's not dark at noon yet, so it's not good to nourish it too much."

These words made the three women blush slightly.

They all knew the effects of the medicinal wine. After all, they were beneficiaries of their husband's drinking.

When Chen Shengfei heard this, he put down his wine glass. This was because he had tried how uncomfortable it was to drink too much before. It was not that he was drunk, but in some ways…

"Young Master Li, President Chen, President Ma." Liu Yi walked over, making Li Qing and the others look at him.

Ma Liewen teased, "What? President Liu didn't get any wine from Boss Qin?"

They had all seen Liu Yi's actions just now. Moreover, they also wanted to see if Liu Yi could get some wine from Boss Qin.

If Liu Yi could ask for wine, there was no reason why they couldn't get it after knowing Boss Qin for so long.

Liu Yi sighed and explained, "Boss Qin said that there's only one bottle of this silver-bottle wine now. Young Master Li won it, so we will only have it in the future."

Liu Yi sighed and explained, "Boss Qin said that there's only one bottle of this silver-bottle wine now. Young Master Li won it and will only have it in the future."

Boss Qin would naturally take it out when he wanted to take it out.

"President Liu, would you like to have a drink?" Li Qing asked Liu Yi. Wasn't this the purpose of the other party coming over?

"Thank you, Young Master Li." Liu Yi extended his glass with a smile.

After Li Qing poured him a glass, he immediately capped the bottle.

The wine was sealed. He wanted to savor it slowly. He could not waste it here anymore.

Liu Yi had already picked up his wine glass and tasted it. After drinking the wine, he could tell from his expression that the wine was completely unexpected.

"It's really a pity that we can't get such good wine." Liu Yi sighed a little. Don't think that a tycoon like him was the envy of countless people. They thought that he could buy anything with money. Even a woman's feelings could only be obtained by spending hundreds of thousands.

But there were really some things in this world that they could not buy even if they had money.

Today, he knew one more thing that money could not buy, and that was the silver bottle of medicinal wine in Qinglin Villa.

Liu Yi returned to his table, still feeling unsatisfied.

He looked at the bronze medicinal wine in front of him. This wine was good, but it was still far inferior.

After the meal, Liu Yi left with regret.

Li Qing and the others went to drift. After all, they had drunk a lot of medicinal wine. It was not easy to do some things in broad daylight, so they could only exercise and exhaust themselves.

Drifting could take a lot of effort.

Qin Lin had already prepared the tickets for them.

…

Another night passed.

The lucky draw event ended yesterday, and the villa's turnover reached its highest point, breaking through 1.5 million yuan.

On the first morning after the event, the tourists showed no further signs of bursting with activity time.

However, this lucky draw event was very popular, and Qinglin Villa's popularity increased further.

After lunch, Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen also consumed the last winning spot.

They did not manage to buy a spot on the third day. The tourists who won either did not sell or were bought by Zhao Furong without a set meal. Moreover, the price was raised a lot in the end.

That was probably what Ma Liewen meant about real estate people with an upstart style.

After Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen finished their last set meal, they left with their wives.

To Qin Lin's surprise, Li Qing did not leave. Instead, he stayed with his wife, Lin Liu.

"Boss Qin, I'll be here for a few more days." Li Qing said to Qin Lin with a smile, "I want to see what's hidden in the winery after you sign the contract with Youcheng County."

"?" Qin Lin was puzzled. "There's something hidden in the winery?"

Li Qing explained with a smile, "There might be a cellar. When I checked the wine cellar, I found that there was an empty floor below. When I discovered it, I noticed that Master Zhang's expression was a little abnormal. He even hurriedly changed the topic. This old master has a secret."

"There's such a thing?" Qin Lin was a little surprised. He was curious about what Li Qing had said.

Over the next two days, the tourists in the villa slowly began to stabilize.

Qin Lin also asked Qin Ren's studio for help to start filming high-quality promotional videos to maintain the popularity.

The Triangular Plum Blossom Sea had many system-enhanced attributes such as "blossoming, ornamental, attractive, entry, and ecological harmony". It was still the mainstream publicity.

With these game attributes, the videos produced were beautiful and attractive. Tourists were inevitably attracted. Coupled with the interactive videos of Red Hair and the little squirrels, it added to the fun.

The drifting project naturally improved a lot. It was a pity that it was not summer. Otherwise, a big battle on the water should be more attractive. Then, it would be more effective in complementing the Sea of Flowers.

Two days later.

Qin Lin moved the items from the game to the villa early in the morning before returning to his office. He realized that Zhao Moqing had already arrived.

"They've already done the statistics." Zhao Moqing handed a set of statistics to Qin Lin.

It was a list of tourist statistics after the event.

The villa had been receiving about 4,000 tourists every day for the past two days.

However, this was only the end of the event after all. After that, it would steadily decrease.

According to statistical estimates, as long as they posted videos diligently and maintained a certain popularity, they would eventually maintain an average daily visitor count of 3,000.

This was already a huge increase from the previous 1,500.

Qin Lin was also satisfied with this. He smiled and said, "Everyone is very busy this time. Tell everyone to get an additional bonus this month. At the same time, tell everyone not to slack off on their service."

"Yes, I'll tell everyone the good news." Zhao Moqing nodded. The villa was indeed very busy during the activity period. Everyone was exhausted and inevitably slacked off for the past two days.

Therefore, a bonus was necessary at this time to stir up everyone's enthusiasm again.

After Zhao Moqing left, Qin Lin turned on his computer to deal with some matters in the villa. He also looked at the screen in his mind and controlled his game character to play.

First, he fished and caught all 35 respawned fish. Then, he controlled the game character to head to Mount Notre Dame.

This time, when he entered Mount Notre Dame, he was surprised to find that another mountain product had been refreshed. Furthermore, this time, it didn't seem to be Cherokee roses and myrtle. Instead, it was a cartoon icon of a radish.

[Congratulations on obtaining a wild ginseng!]

Chapter 187

Qin Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the notification.

When he saw the radish logo, he guessed that it might be ginseng. He didn't expect it to be true.

With this unexpected gain, he excitedly controlled the game character to continue walking towards Mount Notre Dame.

He had obtained mountain goods. He couldn't just obtain this wild ginseng, right?

A moment later, another cartoon radish-like icon appeared on the game character's screen.

Qin Lin hurriedly controlled his game character to go forward and pick it.

[Congratulations on obtaining a wild bitter ginseng!]

It was not a wild ginseng anymore, but a bitter ginseng.

Although they were both ginseng, the effects of the two types of ginseng were somewhat different. They were also not from the same family. Naturally, no matter what the effects were, these were all good things.

This thing was at least of a higher level than the Cherokee roses and myrtle, right?

Qin Lin hadn't harvested any mountain goods from Mount Notre Dame during this period of time. He didn't expect good things to appear today.

He controlled the game to go deeper into Mount Notre Dame. A moment later, another icon of a cartoon radish appeared.

This was another gain.

...

[Congratulations on obtaining a wild bitter ginseng!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a wild bitter ginseng!]

…

[Congratulations on obtaining a wild bitter ginseng!]

Finally.

The game character strolled around Mount Notre Dame and picked the last bitter ginseng.

This time, only wild ginseng and bitter ginseng were refreshed, and a total of 10 stalks were harvested.

Moreover, there was only one wild ginseng and the other nine were bitter ginseng.

This was enough to make Qin Lin happy, especially the wild ginseng.

To be honest, he had heard a lot about ginseng in his life, but he had never eaten ginseng before. This was a little shallow.

Qin Lin controlled the game character to return to the ranch. Then, with a thought, he entered the game immediately.

A moment later, when he had two bitter ginsengs, his face was completely incredulous. This was almost half a catty.

It was rare to see bitter ginseng this big.

However, when Qin Lin picked up the wild ginseng, he was stunned. It was almost the size of a small radish. The main body and roots should weigh a catty.

What did one catty of wild ginseng mean?

Wild ginseng this big in modern society was rarely seen, wasn't it?

It must be 100 years old.

He'd once read the news that a 100-year-old wild ginseng had been purchased by a tycoon for nine million yuan.

This might be the most expensive thing he had obtained since he started the system.

Qin Lin immediately focused and looked at the attributes of the wild ginseng.

[(Rare) Wild Ginseng: Quality 3]

[This is a wild ginseng. There are very few of them and they are rare items in the game. The chances of them being refreshed are extremely low. You can obtain a large amount of gold coins by selling them to Zach. This is an excellent ingredient for brewing wine. The medicinal wine that is brewed has many effects: nourishing essence +3, nourishing spleen and lungs +2, nourishing spirit +2… heart palpitations -1, insomnia and forgetfulness -1!]

Qin Lin was stunned when he saw the attributes of this wild ginseng.

From the words "extremely low refresh rate" and "rare" in the remark, it could be seen that this thing was extremely rare even in the game.

The key was that he was lucky. He could not trigger the extremely low chance of mutation of the Xiangshui Tribute Rice, but he had triggered the extremely low chance of refreshing this rare wild ginseng.

This was probably what it meant by when one door shuts, another door opens.

Moreover, the effects of this rare Quality 3 wild ginseng were awesome. There were nearly 20 effects. However, there were also +2 effects and +1 effects. Moreover, most of them were +1 effects.

The +2 effect should be the main effect, and the +1 effect should be the auxiliary effect. After all, many medicinal herbs could be used as both the main and side effects.

Of course, the most impressive thing about this wild ginseng was still its +3 attribute.

What was its vitality?

Traditional Chinese medical science has vitality as the basis of human beings.

Therefore, there were many legends about ginseng replenishing vitality.

In particular, it was said that ginseng that was more than a hundred years old had the effect of nourishing one's vitality. It could effectively recover the vitality in a dying patient's body and make them regain their vitality. Therefore, it could be used to prolong one's life.

There were even rumors that when a gambling magnate was on the verge of death, he did not have enough vitality to undergo surgery. He even bought medicinal wine brewed with ginseng to replenish his vitality.

Naturally, this was just a rumor and no one knew if it was true.

However, Qin Lin was certain that the Quality 3 wild ginseng produced by his game definitely had a great replenishing effect, and it was even +3.

This was definitely something that could save his life at a critical moment. Unfortunately, this was the only one. How good would it be if all 10 of them were this?

But looking at the words "rare" and "low refresh rate", he knew that he was daydreaming.

Then, Qin Lin looked at the other nine bitter ginsengs.

As these nine bitter ginsengs had been refreshed by the system, their sizes were the same, and so were their remarks.

[Wild Bitter Ginseng: Quality 2]

[This is a special wild bitter ginseng. This is an excellent ingredient for brewing wine. The medicinal wine that is brewed has very strong medical effects: treating acne +2, treating internal hemorrhoids +2, treating external sores and prolapse +2, clearing heat and humidity +1… eczema -1, wet sores, 1, skin itch -1!]

There were still many effects of this bitter ginseng. There were more than a dozen, and most of them were +1.

However, when Qin Lin saw the main +2 function, his jaw dropped. There was something wrong with this game planner.

He even suspected that the other party had hemorrhoids when he set up this prop.

Treat hemorrhoids +2, internal hemorrhoids +2, external sores +2. With these three attributes combined, the game planner's situation seemed to be very serious.

Could it be that after these bitter ginsengs were soaked in medicinal wine, there was still a special activity for hemorrhoids?

Chapter 188

Naturally, this was just a thought. It would be too vulgar.

On the other hand, if any of his friends had hemorrhoids, he could give them some wine.

In addition, after brewing the wine, he could also sell some in the sales center. This thing could be sold at a higher price, so there should be many people who need it.

With that in mind, Qin Lin activated the game and started calculating.

This time, he obtained one wild ginseng and nine bitter ginseng. According to the ratio of ginseng to wine, it was about 1:10.

In other words, this wild ginseng could only be soaked in 10 catties of wine. If the game did not refresh the wild ginseng in the future, this would be the only 10 catties.

Although he was not satisfied, Qin Lin knew that even if there were only 10 catties of medicinal wine, it would make countless rich people go crazy.

As for the nine bitter ginsengs, they could be soaked in 45 catties of medicinal wine.

This time, Qin Lin wasn't in a hurry to buy white wine. This was because he was about to acquire the county's wine factory. When the time came, he would get the county's old wine cellar to make some white wine that had a natural fragrance and tasted good.

With such conditions, he couldn't possibly go out and buy some ordinary white wine. That would be a little disrespectful to this wild ginseng.

There was a saying that whatever one wanted would come true. Before noon, Chen Li came to the door with a document and a few people. His goal was to deal with the winery.

Was the county anxious to shake off the burden of the enterprise? More so than he, the acquisition man.

When Chen Li saw Qin Lin, he handed him the documents in his hand and said, "Boss Qin, some of the procedures for the winery have been completed. Take a look at these documents and contracts. You just have to sign them. These people will make a record."

...

Qin Lin took the information and looked at it. After a moment, he looked at Chen Li in surprise. "Chief Chen, there's something wrong with this contract. Why is it just selling the wine cellar?"

The winery was a county enterprise. The value assessment would not only include the wine cellar, but also other aspects of the value.

Not only was the price of this wine cellar a little low, but it also did not make sense.

When Chen Li heard this, he sighed and explained, "Master Zhang is right. The management of the winery is indeed a little complicated. It will take some time for the county to deal with it, and it will take a long time to fill in some troublesome pits."

"Therefore, the county separated the right to use the wine cellar and the factory's land and sold them to Qinglin Villa. After that, the wine factory declared bankruptcy. Moreover, this way, they would be able to complete the process in less than a week."

Chen Li didn't say it too bluntly, but Qin Lin understood.

In other words, those people were really nothing.

However, he still took out his phone in front of Chen Li and took a photo of the information and contract. Then, he found Senior Brother Chu's WeChat and sent it over. "I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Chu to take a look at this contract again."

At the same time, he transferred 5,000 yuan to her.

After a while, Senior Brother Chu also replied, "Qin Lin, your business is getting bigger and bigger. You're going to buy your county's winery again. Impressive."

Qin Lin replied, "Senior Brother Chu, I'm sorry. It's just a small matter."

Senior Brother Chu sent a stunned expression. "You're still arguing? How will the students in the university club feel?"

"I've already evaluated your villa and food company. I think you'll need a professional lawyer to solve your legal problems soon. How about considering our Power Law Firm?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Senior Brother Chu, I'll definitely look for you when the time comes."

Senior Brother Chu sent a smiling emoji and replied, "Then it's settled. Now, I'll look at the contract."

Not long after.

Senior Brother Chu replied.

There was nothing wrong with the contract given by the county. There were no hidden dangers. One could see the sincerity.

Seeing this, Qin Lin did not hesitate and directly signed the contract. Then, he spent half a day with Chen Li at the Industry and Commerce Department. Next, he had to spend three days before going through the procedures.

However, at this point, Qin Lin already had the right to implement the liquor factory.

When Qin Lin returned to the villa, Li Qing immediately went to look for him. "Boss Qin, I heard from the villa that you left with Chief Chen. Have you signed the papers?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Looks like Mr. Li is also anxious to see that cellar."

Li Qing did not deny it. He smiled and said, "Of course it's urgent. If I wasn't afraid that Youcheng County would raise the price for you when they found out, I would have said it then."

Qin Lin smiled when he heard this and brought Li Qing to the winery.

On the contract with the county, these masters of the winery were left behind, including Master Zhang.

However, after hearing Li Qing's words, he wanted to figure out what Master Zhang was up to and what he was hiding in the winery.

If he doesn't find out, who knows if this man was loyal or treacherous?

When Qin Lin stopped the car at the winery with Li Qing, he was surprised to find Master Zhang and his men adjusting the inlet of the reservoir.

"Boss Qin!" When Master Zhang saw Qin Lin, he went forward in surprise.

"Master Zhang, we meet again." Qin Lin greeted Master Zhang when he saw him. At the same time, he was thinking about how to ask about the cellar.

After all, he did not know if Master Zhang was loyal or not, so he could not be too direct.

However, to his surprise, Master Zhang asked first, "Boss Qin, you're here again. Have you signed a contract with the county?"

"Yes, I've already signed it." Qin Lin nodded and didn't hide anything.

"It's signed, that's good!" When Master Zhang heard this news, his face clearly lit up. He immediately ran into the factory and shouted to the other masters, "Everyone, get off work today. Boss Qin has bought the winery to give everyone a break. Later on, he will buy new materials to make wine. Don't use those rubbish materials anymore."

Hearing this, those masters stopped and walked out one by one. Seeing that Qin Lin wanted to greet him and ask something, Master Zhang immediately urged, "Hurry up and leave. Don't disturb Boss Qin, or I'll fire you."

Master Zhang was still very prestigious in the eyes of those winemakers. They did not stay and directly rode their motorcycles down the mountain.

Qin Lin couldn't figure out what Master Zhang was going to do, but when he saw this scene, he frowned and said, "It's not safe for old masters to ride bicycles like this. After the winery is done, get a special car to send them down the mountain!"

"We've met a good boss." Master Zhang was obviously very happy to hear this. Then, he pulled Qin Lin towards the wine cellar. "Boss Qin, since you've already signed it, the county can't go back on their word, right? I'll show you a good place."

Saying that, he even smiled mysteriously and said, "Boss Qin is a person who knows alcohol. You should have drunk aged wine before, right? I'll let you try our winery's aged wine today."

Hearing this, Qin Lin subconsciously looked at Li Qing and instantly understood what he meant.

Chapter 189

Qin Lin followed Master Zhang into a simple office.

After Master Zhang cleared a place on a pile of junk, he dug out stone bricks and revealed an entrance.

In other words, Li Qing was right. There really was a middle cellar.

Master Zhang didn't forget to explain, "Boss Qin, there's actually a wine cellar under this winery."

"Is this cellar dedicated to storage?" Li Qing was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Generally, winery cellars were quick to produce wine for profit. This created an environmental problem. There was no way to store old wine.

Therefore, he would have to build a smaller special vault to store the aged wine.

Under normal circumstances, this special vault was rarely opened to reduce the impact of external factors.

When Qin Lin followed Master Zhang into the cellar, he saw the scene inside clearly.

The space was not very big, but it was filled with stored sealed wine jars of all sizes. Judging from the style, it should have been affected by the age and the size could not be uniform.

Moreover, judging from the oxidation on the surface of the large wine jar, these wines were not placed in the same batch. Some were placed a long time ago, and some recently.

Master Zhang also explained, "I put in a lot of the wine here later. Almost every year, I would put some in without telling anyone."

Qin Lin asked curiously, "Has no one discovered Master Zhang's wine cellar?"

...

Li Qing also looked at Master Zhang curiously.

He could see that there were more than ten large wine jars in the corner that were obviously very old. He wondered how many of them had been preserved intact.

Due to the storage technology, waste wine would appear after a certain number of years. The longer it took, the higher the waste wine rate.

This was also because 20- and 30-year-old wine could still be seen on the market. Any longer and it would be almost invisible. Once it appeared, the price would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Master Zhang also began to recall. "Actually, I didn't know about this wine cellar at first. Master didn't tell me."

"I only discovered it by accident. I wanted to report it when I discovered it, but who knew that those officials were so useless? An official came and said that he wanted to lower the quality of the materials for the sake of benefits. I might as well not say anything."

"After that, I circled this place myself as my office. I'm in charge of the production of the winery, and the other masters don't come into my office casually. As for the management, they come to the winery less than twice a year."

"There are a few who aren't fooling around. I can guess that the winery will be sold or even bankrupt. I'm also prepared to keep these wines to see if I have a chance to save the winery at a critical time."

Qin Lin asked again, "Then didn't the people in this wine cellar know?"

Master Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I'm also curious about this, so I've investigated it. There should only be one possibility. After the winery was built, it belonged to the cooperative group at first. Wasn't there a bad period after that?"

"The winery was affected in the last few years of that period. It was even deserted for a long time. Later, this winery was restarted as a county business, and the employees were no longer the same."

"My master also entered the wine factory to survive after his son died. I just don't know why he didn't say anything about this wine cellar. When I found it, it was obvious that there was still wine that he put in later."

This seemed a little tortuous. It roughly matched the wine cellar time mentioned earlier.

Qin Lin and Li Qing also knew what that period of time meant. The topic was a little sensitive, so the two of them did not want to ask further. Anyway, there was no point in probing further.

The most important thing now should be the wine in the wine cellar, especially Qin Lin. He had just obtained a wild ginseng and nine bitter ginseng and needed good wine to brew it.

Master Zhang continued, "Boss Qin, now that you've bought this winery, I believe you can make a good winery. Take these wines and use them. Perhaps they can help."

He had been in charge of technology since he was a young apprentice at the winery. Along the way, he had relied on the winery to marry, have children, and support his family. It was already an obsession of his not to let the winery fall.

Qin Lin looked at Master Zhang's sincere expression and nodded.

Although it would be easier to promote ordinary wine if there was some aged wine.

However, he said worriedly, "By the way, Master Zhang, will anything happen if the county finds out about this?"

At worst, this behavior could be considered as embezzlement.

To be honest, he really did not want anything to happen to Master Zhang now.

This teacher was not bad.

Otherwise, the wine in this wine cellar should be worth a lot of money. He had a chance to move away long ago.

Li Qing smiled and said, "What's the matter? Boss Qin, you only discovered this cellar after buying the winery and found a lot of old wine inside."

"Besides, the contract has already been signed. That's Youcheng County's own problem. It's most likely because of the blame that Master Zhang mentioned. It's ridiculous that he didn't know that the winery had such a fortune after being in charge for so long."

Master Zhang immediately said, "That's right. Boss, you only discovered this wine cellar after you bought the wine factory. No one knew about it before."

Li Qing said casually, "Actually, it's fine even if Youcheng County finds out. Youcheng County is relying on you now, Boss Qin. They won't take these things seriously."

Chapter 190

Qin Lin was completely relieved when he heard this. He said, "Mr. Li, let's take a look at the wine first."

"I was waiting for you to say that." Li Qing walked to the 10 jars of wine in the corner almost immediately.

These 10 or so jars of wine were obviously the oldest. According to Master Zhang, they might have been placed in the winery before anything happened to it during that period.

Before Li Qing poured out the 10 large wine jars, he examined them. The mud seal was complete. It was obvious that they had not been opened. He checked along the mud seal before carefully knocking it off and opening the lid.

A moment later, he smelled something coming from inside and sighed. "It's useless!"

The waste wine smells unusually bad. He didn't even have to continue checking.

Li Qing continued to open the second jar. This time, he frowned. "It's still useless."

This also gave him a bad feeling, because the alcohol waste rate was too high. These 10 jars were too old. With the storage condition at that time, the waste rate was 100%.

As expected, after Li Qing completely opened the 10 jars of wine, they were all wasted.

Then he looked at the other older wine jars.

According to Master Zhang, part of the wine in the wine cellar was placed by his master, and the year was different. The other part was placed by Master Zhang every year, and the year was also different.

After a series of wasted wine, Li Qing's anticipation plummeted. As expected, some of the older ones were still wasted wine.

"Sigh, why are they all useless?" Master Zhang looked at the jars of useless wine and sighed.

...

Li Qing had already walked towards a jar of wine again. This time, after opening it, he suddenly said in surprise, "Eh, this wine fragrance is good."

He had already leaned in close to the mouth of the jar and fanned himself with his palm to smell it. Then, he reached out and dipped a little into it before putting it into his mouth. After a moment, he said, "It's 30 years old. It's an original wine at more than 60 degrees. It needs to be mixed to drink."

"I'll go get the wine and mixing tools." Master Zhang immediately rushed out.

Li Qing hurriedly shouted, "Don't use the inferior wine from this liquor factory to mix it. It's a waste."

Only then did Master Zhang remember what the wine in the wine factory was like and immediately stopped.

When Qin Lin heard Li Qing's words, his eyes lit up.

How much was 30-year-old wine worth?

30-year-old Maotai wines were of a different class. The price of 500 ML varied from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a bottle.

It was already very difficult to buy such Maotai.

With Qinglin Medicine Wine's reputation, it couldn't be too cheap to hang the 'Qinglin Wine' sign on this 30-year-old wine, right?

The key was that a lot of alcohol could be mixed.

If this was used to brew wine, how much would the medicinal wine be worth?

The key was that if the news of him having this year's wine spread out, he would take out some older wine in the future. This was the best cover-up. No one would think too much about it.

However, Li Qing had already opened all the jars of wine that Master Zhang's master had put in.

Master Zhang had not discovered this wine cellar for too long. It had only been more than ten years. There was no need to open the wine he had put in. It would be a waste to open it now. When it was old enough, it would be equivalent to a batch every year.

In the future, he would continue to put in a batch of wine every year.

In the end, most of the wine was still useless. However, a few jars of good wine were produced. One of them was 30 years old, two 25 years old, and three 20 years old. They were all original wines.

However, the wine jars were not big. Each one was about 200 catties.

In other words, 200 catties of 30-year-old wine, 400 catties of 25-year-old wine, and 600 catties of 20-year-old wine.

All of these added up to a very high price. If the county knew about it, the person who would have to take the blame would probably suffer even more.

He just didn't know why Master Zhang's master kept putting wine in it but didn't say anything.

In any case, Qin Lin and the other two couldn't figure it out for a long time.

However, people often had some strange behaviors or obsessions that they could not figure out.

Li Qing also told a story about an old farmer who made wine and buried his backyard.

The old farmer did not know the purpose of burying the wine. He just wanted to bury some every year. The key was that his sealing skills were very good.

20 years later, the wine was actually worth a lot. Later, this old farmer sold the wine and used the money to open a winery. Then, the winery now developed into a very famous brand of wine.

At this moment, Master Zhang said, "Boss, we can only use this wine after we adjust it."

The alcohol content was too high, so it was not suitable to drink it directly. It usually needed to be adjusted to reduce the alcohol content, so it could naturally be directly mixed with pure water. The texture and taste would be very different.

After mixing, the alcohol content of the original wine decreased, but the quantity increased. In other words, the amount of wine after mixing far exceeded the current amount.

At this moment, Li Qing hurriedly said, "Boss Qin, let me help you mix these wines. If you use these wines to brew that medicinal wine, it should be silver-grade, right? Give me two bottles first."

"I'll give you four bottles," Qin Lin immediately said.

With the system around, the so-called bronze and silver wines were not a problem for him. However, it was different for Li Qing to personally mix the drinks.

Li Qing's research on wine was definitely very good. The wine that he mixed would definitely be able to maintain its fragrance and texture. If he used this to soak the wine, the quality of the medicinal wine would also be better.

"Deal." Without hesitation, Li Qing picked up his phone and made a call.

He was actually eager to try mixing these aged wines. After all, this was a rare opportunity for him.

As soon as the call went through, Li Qing said, "President Zhuang, it's me!"

Chapter 191

"Young Master Li, what are your orders today?" President Zhuang asked immediately. He did not dare to neglect Young Master Li.

Li Qing went straight to the point and said, "President Zhuang, send me a batch of special mixed wine and materials to Youcheng County. I want about 1,200 catties of raw wine."

President Zhuang was surprised. "That many? Which winery is Young Master Li in?"

Li Qing said directly, "Don't be in a hurry to find out. It won't affect your business. Your wine is too inferior."

"Uh!" President Zhuang was at a loss for words for a moment. "Young Master Li, can you not be like this? My wine is at least the boss of mid-grade wine. Moreover, there's also a wine that has squeezed into the ranks of high-end wine."

Li Qing couldn't be bothered to discuss this and continued, "I'm at the old wine cellar in Qinglin Villa. Remember to send the things over quickly."

Qin Lin smiled when he heard Li Qing's words.

Qinglin Villa had an old wine cellar. It would be good if the news of the aged wine spread through Li Qing.

With Li Qing's status, he could give him the best cover.

In the future, if he took out medicinal wine again, the outside world would think that it was from this old wine cellar.

"Qinglin Villa? Qinglin Medicine Wine?" President Zhuang suddenly raised his voice. "No wonder Young Master Li said that my wine is too low-grade. Qinglin Medicine Wine is too high-grade now. It can't be compared to it. I'm currently at the market for white wine. I'll go back and arrange for it to be delivered tomorrow morning."

Li Qing hung up the phone and said to Qin Lin, "This aged wine medicine is mixed with special wine and materials. It's just that the price is not cheap. One catty costs more than 300 yuan, and mixing these wines costs at least 200,000 yuan."

"Yes, I'll settle the bill with the other party then." Qin Lin nodded. He didn't care about this at all now. After all, if he mixed 300 yuan a catty of wine into 30-year-old wine, it would be worth 10,000 yuan. If he brewed more medicinal wine, it would be worth 100,000 yuan.

...

"Let's seal this wine back first." Li Qing looked at the opened wine and said to Master Zhang, "Do you have the sealing material and yellow mud?"

"Yes!" Master Zhang nodded hurriedly and went out to prepare.

It took Li Qing some time to reseal the opened wine jars.

When they were done, the three of them left the wine cellar again and sealed the entrance.

When they returned to the villa, Qin Lin was still worried. He called Chen Dabei and asked him to bring people to guard the winery.

He did not see any security guards during his two visits to the liquor factory. When the time came, the security guards would have to be arranged. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if anything happened to a group of teachers.

Also, he wanted the old masters to recruit apprentices and let the apprentices do the heavy work. Previously, no young people came because the salary was low. He did not believe that no one would come if he raised the salary.

He did not care how much money the winery could earn in the end. What he cared about was that the winery could cover for him. In the future, as long as he did not take out a large amount of wine from the game, no one would pay attention to things that they should not.

Ming City.

In an office in the white wine market, after Zhuang Rui ended the call with Li Qing, he put down his phone and said to the other people in the office, "I'm sorry, I have no choice but to answer Young Master Li's call."

The others were also in the liquor business like him.

They had gathered here today to discuss joining forces to lower the price of a raw material.

The others nodded in understanding when they heard Zhuang Rui's words.

After all, they knew who it was when they heard Young Master Li's name.

Everyone in the wine industry knew about Young Master Li.

The other party was an extraordinary person in the Ming City. Instead of taking the path of a family, he insisted on studying wine. Most importantly, he even became famous after researching wine.

In Ming City, those famous old masters were also inferior to Li Shaogan. He was even famous in the entire Min Province.

If not for the fact that the other party could not do business because of his identity, Young Master Li would probably be able to easily surpass them if he wanted to start a wine business.

He envied Zhuang Rui for being able to interact with him.

One of them asked curiously, "President Zhuang, you mentioned Qinglin Villa just now. Is Young Master Li related to Qinglin Villa?"

The others also looked curiously at Zhuang Rui.

They could not help but pay attention to Qinglin Villa. The Qinglin Medicine Wine that appeared now was too popular. Moreover, the moment the Qinglin Medicine Wine appeared, it directly became the top-notch kind.

That level was so high that they couldn't even see the tail of it.

They were all in the wine industry and were in Ming City. It was difficult for them not to be curious when they heard this name now.

Zhuang Rui explained, "Young Master Li said that he's in the old wine cellar of Qinglin Villa. It seems that there's another batch of wine in the old wine cellar of Qinglin Villa. Now, there's a lack of specially mixed wine and materials. He asked me to send it over. It seems that Young Master Li is running errands for him."

That shocked the others.

How could Qinglin Villa let someone like Young Master Li run errands? It was really unbelievable.

However, this also meant one thing. The wine in Qinglin Villa was really good.

Young Master Li did not even bother to look at the wine.

Chapter 192

The next day.

Not long after Qin Lin sent the game items to the villa, Li Qing came looking for him. "Boss Qin, let's go. The mixed wine and materials are about to reach the villa's parking lot."

Qin Lin followed Li Qing to the parking lot and saw Zhao Moqing getting into a BMW with Lin Liu.

Li Jiawen was driving.

Li Qing stayed in the villa with his wife, but she followed him to the winery. Lin Liu was naturally bored staying in the villa alone.

Last night, he had instructed Zhao Moqing to take Lin Liu to various scenic spots and snack shops in Youcheng County.

Li Jiawen had obviously been pulled over to be the driver.

Not long after Zhao Moqing and the others left, a Mercedes-Benz drove in with a wine truck.

A middle-aged man alighted from the Mercedes-Benz. When the other party saw Li Qing, he smiled and walked forward. "Young Master Li, I've brought you the specially mixed wine. It's more than 500 catties and 1,200 catties of raw wine. 42% is definitely enough."

Li Qing smiled and asked, "Why are you here in person?"

Zhuang Rui said, "I'm just curious about the Qinglin Medicine Wine. Who doesn't want to see the true appearance of the Qinglin Medicine Wine?"

Li Qing nodded. "And the other materials?"

Zhuang Rui explained, "In the passenger seat of the liquor truck."

...

Li Qing pointed at Qin Lin and said, "This is Boss Qin from Qinglin Villa. Boss Qin, this is President Zhuang Rui. He's quite a nice person."

Zhuang Rui was immediately surprised. He had seen Qin Lin just now and thought that he was some lackey because he was too young. Who knew that he was the boss of Qinglin Villa?

"Hello, Boss Qin. I'm Zhuang Rui from Hengzhuang Liquor Company." Zhuang Rui reacted and shook hands with Qin Lin warmly. He did not forget to flatter him, "Boss Qin is really young and promising. I'm afraid no one will believe that the boss of Qinglin Villa is so young."

Qin Lin smiled and replied, "President Zhuang, you're being too serious. It's just a small matter."

However, Li Qing said at the side, "Boss Qin, if you're still playing around with Qinglin Medicine Wine, wouldn't President Zhuang and the others, who have been drinking for their entire lives, want to commit suicide?"

Zhuang Rui immediately said with a bitter expression, "Young Master Li, I also have a wine that has squeezed into the ranks of high-end brands."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about that," Li Qing said, as if he'd just remembered.

"…" Zhuang Rui.

Qin Lin found Zhuang Rui interesting.

But thinking about Li Qing's character, why did he only look for Zhuang Rui instead of someone else?

Birds of a feather flock together. Zhuang Rui's character should not be too bad.

Seeing that the items had arrived, Li Qing also said to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, let's go to the winery!"

"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded and got into his BMW with Li Qing.

Zhuang Rui instructed the driver of the wine truck to follow. He got into the car and started up, following behind.

The car soon arrived at the winery.

Master Zhang knew that Qin Lin was here and immediately came out to welcome him. "Boss, Mr. Li."

"Arrange for someone to receive the wine. We'll go into the wine cellar." Qin Lin instructed Master Zhang before entering the wine cellar with Li Qing.

Master Zhang immediately arranged for the two old masters to follow him into the wine cellar.

Zhuang Rui got out of the car and followed him in.

This winery was much smaller than his company's winery, but he did not dare to underestimate it at all. After all, this was a place that could produce Qinglin Medicine Wine.

As soon as they entered the old wine cellar, Zhuang Rui felt that there was something different about it. He checked the walls and asked in surprise, "Young Master Li, this old wine cellar must have been here for a very long time, right?"

Li Qing did not hide anything and said, "The exact time should be more than 60 years."

"My dear, what a treasure." Zhuang Rui's face was full of surprise. Who wouldn't want an old wine cellar in the wine industry?

However, there were too few old wine cellars. Even those famous brands might not be able to find a suitable old wine cellar.

His company had also gone to a lot of trouble to get two sips of the old 35-year-old wine cellar. That was how he'd managed to squeeze one of his wines into the upscale ranks.

As Zhuang Rui was thinking, Li Qing and Qin Lin had already entered that office and opened the cellar door again.

Master Zhang brought a few old masters in to carry the wine. To mix the original wine, they had to bring it out.

"The middle cellar." Zhuang was surprised again. He asked, "Young Master Li, is this also an old wine cellar?"

Li Qing nodded and said, "It's also more than 60 years old. It's a special storage cellar."

Zhuang Rui was even more envious. "That's amazing. With these two vats, it will definitely be easier to brew wine. No wonder Boss Qin can brew the Qinglin Medicine Wine."

When Li Qing heard this, he knew that Zhuang Rui had misunderstood.

Boss Qin didn't need this wine cellar to brew wine, but he couldn't be bothered to explain.

Qin Lin naturally did not explain.

President Zhuang could think whatever he wanted. It would be best if this news spread. That way, no one would probe further when he took the wine out of the game.

"Boss Qin, let me take a few photos of this wine cellar. 60 years is too rare," Zhuang Rui suddenly said. An old wine cellar that was more than 60 years old was rare in their entire industry.

He just wanted to freeload a set of photos and post them on his Moments.

"Go ahead!" Qin Lin didn't care about this. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have said anything.

However, Zhuang Rui's appearance made him even more aware of how rare this wine cellar was.

Previously, this wine factory could still be maintained even with this wine cellar. This showed how impressive the previous management was.

Therefore, there was an ancient saying that treasures were covered in dust.

The old wine cellar was good stuff, but in the hands of a few ignorant people, it was considered trash.

Chapter 193

After receiving Qin Lin's approval, Zhuang Rui also took a set of photos of the wine cellar and uploaded them to WeChat. He wrote the title: "The 60-year-old wine cellar of Qinglin Villa. I'm very envious. I really want to have a taste."

Obviously, Zhuang Rui was not taking advantage of the photos.

Taking advantage of photos referred to writing a guide title after posting some photos, making people misunderstand that the things in the photos were related to themselves.

For example, he could take photos of luxury cars, post other people's cars on his WeChat Moments, and use sentences to mislead others into thinking that it was his car.

Naturally, this was just a low-level photo. The high-level ones were to take Ma Yun's photo and post it on their Moments to mislead people into thinking that they knew Ma Yun and then scam millions of yuan.

Master Zhang brought out the 30-year-old, 25-year-old, and 20-year-old wine that he had opened yesterday. He carefully placed the wine in front of the mixing equipment.

"Master Zhang, bring in the mixed wine," Li Qing instructed Master Zhang before squatting in front of the jars of wine and carefully opening them again.

Zhuang Rui came over personally because he was curious about the Qinglin Medicinal Wine. He immediately walked to Li Qing's side and said, "It's rare to see Young Master Li personally mixing the original wine. This wine should be quite old, right?"

Li Qing teased, "These are all old wines. This jar is 30 years old. If you can find this kind of wine, I'll personally mix it for you."

When Zhuang Rui heard this, he could only say helplessly, "That will have to wait 20 years."

What a joke. Was 30-year-old wine so easy to get? He couldn't buy it even if he wanted to. Any company that had wine of this age would have stepped up their publicity long ago. It was impossible to sell it to other companies.

Even those old brands that were 30 years old were rare. They were basically divided up as soon as they left the market.

Their Hengzhuang Liquor Company had just developed not long ago. It turned out that they were still mixing in mid-grade liquor. In the beginning, they were particular about benefits. It was impossible for them to have an old liquor plan.

...

It was only 10 years ago that his company had started the old wine storage program.

Now, the reason why his wine could squeeze into high-end wines was also because of the 10-year-old wine.

A 30-year-old wine? He would have to wait another 20 years, wouldn't he?

"I wonder if you'll still be around in 20 years," Li Qing asked seriously.

Zhuang Rui didn't know how to respond, so he said stubbornly, "I still have a son. I'll tell him to remember."

Li Qing smiled, took a mixing equipment, and began to work.

The mixing of the two liquors did not seem very difficult. It was just a matter of mixing the two liquors together to lower the alcohol content to a drinkable level, then pouring it into the air-sealed storage jars.

However, there were times when things that looked very simple were very profound. Different people often had different textures and wine fragrance.

However, Zhuang Rui could not help but take out his phone and take a video of the few jars of wine. He posted it on his WeChat Moments again: Qinglin Villa produced six jars of 1,200 catties of old wine at once. There was also a jar of 30-year-old wine. I'm super envious.

Then, he put down his equipment, took the cup beside him, and filled a small cup with the wine that Li Qing had mixed.

"This wine fragrance…" Zhuang Rui could not help but drink it in one gulp when he smelled it. He said in an intoxicated manner, "A 30-year-old wine, coupled with the wine that Young Master Li personally mixed. It's really amazing. I hope my winery can have this wine 20 years later."

After spending half a day, Li Qing mixed the 30-year-old original wine and poured it into the wine jar. The original 200 catties of 30-year-old original wine also became 284 catties of 54% white wine.

84 catties of ordinary wine had also completely advanced to a 30-year-old wine.

After mixing, Qin Lin and Master Zhang immediately sealed the special wine storage jar. This wine could be filled with wine bottles and sold to the public.

Moreover, it was time to get someone to order this wine bottle. In the future, there would definitely be a new wine bottle for the wine produced by this wine factory. At that time, ordinary Qinglin Wine would have to be mass-produced. It was impossible to rely on games.

The most important thing was to put up the Qinglin brand. This bottle of ordinary Qinglin wine could not be used casually. The design had to be more high-end and stylish. He wondered if there was any company in Youcheng County that could satisfy his requirements.

Qin Ren's studio could help him bid for this.

Li Qing had already started mixing the second jar of 25-year-old wine.

It was not until noon that Li Qing finished mixing all six jars of aged wine. Then, he stood up and stretched. He did not forget to say to Qin Lin, "Boss Qin, don't forget four bottles of 20-year-old medicinal wine in silver bottles."

Qin Lin went forward and handed Li Qing a glass of water. "Give it to Mr. Li when we get back."

Li Qing was stunned and asked, "Give it to me immediately when we get back? I knew Boss Qin must have it in stock."

Previously, he, Chen Shengfei, and Ma Liewen did not believe that the other party only had a bottle of silver.

"There are only four bottles. I'll give them all to you," Qin Lin said seriously.

"Boss Qin, I believe you!" Li Qing said seriously.

Qin Lin smiled and instructed Master Zhang, "Find me a container. I want to store some wine and bring it back to brew medicinal wine. Help me store… 10 catties of 30-year-old wine and 45 catties of 20-year-old wine."

This wine was naturally used to soak the wild ginseng and the nine bitter ginseng.

Initially, his first thought was to brew it all in 30-year-old wine. However, when he thought about the price of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for Maotai 30-year-old wine, it was too extravagant to use 30-year-old wine for treating hemorrhoids.

Even a 20-year-old Maotai would cost at least 6,000 yuan a bottle. It seemed to be very extravagant to soak the bitter ginseng in 20 years of medicinal wine.

But when he thought of the pain of hemorrhoids, it seemed that 6,000 yuan for an effective bottle of medicinal wine was barely acceptable.

Master Zhang immediately went to find a few small containers and filled them with 30-year-old and 20-year-old wine jars.

Several small containers were placed separately. Qin Lin's car could still fit them.

After moving these small containers into the car, Qin Lin told Master Zhang some follow-up matters and left the winery with Li Qing to return to the villa.

However, at the same time, news about the medicinal wine of Qinglin Villa quickly spread in the Ming City:

The reason why Qinglin Villa could brew the Qinglin Medicine Wine was because it had an old wine cellar that was more than 60 years old. Moreover, it was a middle cellar.

The old wine cellar of Qinglin Villa even produced 1,200 catties of aged wine today. There was even a jar of 30-year-old wine.

This was naturally because of Tang Rui. He had posted two WeChat moments, and most of his friends were in the wine industry. It was difficult not to be followed after posting those two moments.

When they saw him, they understood. It was no wonder that the Qinglin Medicine Wine could be so expensive.

When Zhuang Rui followed them to Qinglin Villa, he took out his WeChat and saw that it was already filled with messages asking about the Qinglin Medicine Wine. It could be seen how popular the wine was.

Some people even asked where the Qinglin Villa winery was and expressed their desire to visit it.

Zhuang Rui couldn't even be bothered to reply to this question. If he did, he would be causing trouble for himself. The person who asked this wasn't worthy either.

Did he think he could visit other people's winery as he pleased?

Chapter 194

In the main hall of the villa.

Li Qing and his wife sat by the window with Zhuang Rui, who had stayed behind at noon.

Lin Liu said with a smile, "Hubby, although Youcheng County is small, it's really well-equipped. Moqing brought me to the shopping street in the morning. There are many people there early in the morning. The flow of people won't be smaller than some shopping streets in Ming City."

"Besides, there are all kinds of facilities. Beauty parlors, manicures, hairdressing, health care, restaurants… I feel like there are many places in Ming City that have everything."

Li Qing explained, "Don't underestimate these small cities. Since property prices can rise so high, their spending power is still very strong."

Master Lin brought people out of the kitchen with the dishes.

At noon, there were Quality 2 wild fish, conch, eel, and broccoli.

This was specially arranged by Qin Lin.

Li Qing had spent a lot of effort helping to mix the original wine in the morning. Although both parties had agreed on the remuneration of four bottles of silver wine, there were times when friendship could not be simply calculated like this.

When Li Qing saw the dishes served, he said to Zhuang Rui, "President Zhuang, you're lucky today to be able to eat good food on your first visit."

As he spoke, he had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating a piece of braised eel meat.

After having a few meals with Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen, this braised eel meat was still his favorite.

Lin Liu got a bowl of fish soup and drank it.

...

The light fish head tofu soup was unbelievably delicious. This was a woman's favorite.

When Zhuang Rui heard Li Qing's words, he immediately picked up his chopsticks. After taking a few bites, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Li, is this the Supreme Set meal?"

He understood what Li Qing meant. This thing was surprisingly good. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had never eaten anything so delicious.

…

On the other side.

Qin Lin had already arrived at the warehouse with two bottles of wine. After parking the car, he carried the two bottles of wine and the wine from the winery out of the car and brought them into the game.

Now that he had good wine, he naturally had to soak the wild ginseng and the nine bitter ginseng into medicinal wine.

Qin Lin also saw the notes for the 30-year-old wine and 20-year-old wine:

[Qinglin Wine: Quality 3]

[This is a rich white wine produced by an old wine cellar for decades. It naturally has a rich and mellow fragrance. It is an excellent material for brewing medicinal wine. Rich wine fragrance +3, texture +2. Drinking it in small amounts has the effect of increasing metabolism +1, and promoting blood circulation +1!]

[Qinglin Wine: Quality 2]

[This is a rich white wine produced by an old wine cellar for decades. It naturally has a rich and mellow fragrance. It is an excellent material for brewing medicinal wine. Rich wine fragrance +2, texture +1. Drinking it in small amounts has the effect of increasing metabolism +1, and promoting blood circulation +1!]

It seemed that because the winery was owned by Qinglin Villa, the system had silently recognized the two types of wine as Qinglin Wine.

Moreover, the wine of these two years should be the highest quality thing Qin Lin had seen in reality.

Naturally, this quality was only in the rich wine fragrance. One was +3, and the other was +2. It was not a special effect. The wine fragrance attribute was something that some fragrant old wines had. It was just a matter of strength.

Compared to the special attributes of the medicinal wine, this was another pseudo-high-level attribute. This Quality 3 and 2 were much lower.

This was thanks to the 60-year-old wine cellar. The wine produced was already rich in wine fragrance. After 30 years of precipitation, the wine fragrance was even more charming. It might even have something to do with the original materials.

Naturally, Li Qing must have contributed to this. If the original wine was not mixed well, the fragrance of the wine would definitely not be perfectly preserved.

If he and Master Zhang were to do it themselves this time, they might just mix it with any wine or water.

After all, he really did not understand. Master Zhang clearly did not have such experience. If it were anyone else, the wine fragrance might not even have +3.

Then this 30-year-old wine would definitely be greatly affected.

As for the texture attribute, it was normal. The 20-year-old wine had texture + 1. The bulk wine he bought outside would also increase by 1 after more than 10 years.

Now, the 30-year-old one has reached texture +2.

In addition, alcohol of both years had the attribute effect of promoting metabolism +1 and blood circulation +1. Of course, this was if it was drunk in small amounts.

Wine was good, but don't be greedy!

That was true.

After all, wine could both liven things up and kill people.

From this attribute, he could also understand why the aged wine was so expensive.

After Qin Lin read the information of the two wines, he brought over two containers and poured the wine in.

Then, he took out the wild ginseng and put it into 10 catties of 30-year-old wine.

There was no need to cut open the wild ginseng to brew the wine. Instead, the overall effect would be better.

With this wild ginseng, the value of this 10-catty 30-year-old wine immediately soared.

If the 30-year-old Qinglin Wine was sold for at least 20,000 yuan like the 30-year-old Maotai, then it would not be sold even if it was multiplied by 50 times.

After all, a 100-year-old ginseng that grew to a catty s in reality was bought by a tycoon for 9 million yuan. It was unknown how effective it even was.

This was a game product. The medicinal wine had the effect of nourishing vitality by +3. It could really save lives.

20,000 yuan per catty for 30 years was only a million yuan.

Rare wild ginseng had an extremely low respawn rate. It was unknown if this thing could be refreshed again in the future. It was only a 10-catty treasure. One million yuan per catty was impossible. It was not for sale.

He sealed the 10 catties of medicinal wine containers and moved them to a table in the storage room.

This wine already had a rich wine fragrance +3 and had a texture of +2. When it reached the 100-year level, he wondered what attributes it would have.

Chapter 195

It was almost difficult for others to get their hands on 100-year-old wine. Their storage techniques were limited.

With the characteristics of his game, if he wasn't afraid of death, he could simply create a 100-year-old wine without any worries and directly lower the market price of the old wine.

Naturally, he was afraid of death.

It was fine if he did it secretly now. He was really not afraid of dying and causing trouble.

Then, Qin Lin took out the nine bitter ginsengs.

The bitter ginseng and wild ginseng were both ginseng, and even their appearances were very similar. However, the two ginsengs did not belong to the same type of plant. The bitter ginseng was not even completely considered ginseng. The effects were worlds apart.

After all, one was a tonic while the other was for hemorrhoids.

Qin Lin poured the 20-year-old wine into the wine container as well. Then, he took a knife and cut the bitter ginseng into pieces before pouring them into the wine.

This was also the difference between the wild ginseng and the wine. After the bitter ginseng was cut and the wine was soaked, the medicinal effect would be better.

A 20-year-old wine would cost 6,000 yuan no matter what. It would cost more to turn it into medicinal wine, right?

After brewing both medicinal wines, Qin Lin walked into the house on the ranch. There were many antique bronze and silver wine bottles inside, all prepared for the Qinglin Medicine Wine.

As time passed, he would have to mine more in the future.

...

Qin Lin took four imitation ancient silver wine bottles to the first batch of brewed medicinal wine containers and filled them up. Then, he took a bag and packed the wine. With a thought, he exited the game.

These four bottles of wine were promised to Li Qing.

When Qin Lin returned to the main hall of the villa, Li Qing, Zhuang Rui, and the others had already finished their lunch and were eating watermelon to digest their food.

When he saw Qin Lin carrying four bottles of wine in, Li Qing's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and walked towards Qin Lin. "Boss Qin, if I'm not wrong, you're carrying my four bottles of wine, right?"

"Mr. Li, you're right." Qin Lin smiled and handed over four bottles of wine.

Li Qing took the four bottles of wine and placed them on the table as if they were treasures. He took out the bottles and lined them up. Looking at the four bottles of wine made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Including the original winning bottle, there were five bottles now.

If Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen knew about this, they would be extremely envious.

Zhuang Rui looked at Li Qing's precious appearance and could not help but step forward. He looked at the wine bottle curiously and asked, "Young Master Li, is this the Qinglin Medicine Wine in the Supreme Set?"

Li Qing smiled and asked, "Your winery has a wine that has squeezed into the high-end ranks, right?"

"That's right!" Zhuang Rui immediately nodded in response.

Young Master Li finally remembered that he had a wine that had squeezed into the upper class.

Li Qing explained seriously, "Your high-end wine can only be compared to the Supreme Set's Qinglin Medicine Wine. Now, these four bottles of wine are even better than the set. Compared to this, your high-end wine is trash."

"…" Zhuang Rui.

Young Master Li's analogy was clear and easy to understand. It was easy for him to understand the value of this wine, but why was he speechless?

Although he was a little shocked by Young Master Li's use of his own wine, he knew that Young Master Li was serious about wine. The fact that he could make such a comparison meant that the wine was really good.

Zhuang Rui looked at the four bottles of silver medicinal wine and had an urge to ask for them, especially when he thought of the effect of the Qinglin Medicine Wine on male compatriots. The silver bottles were definitely better than the ones on the Internet, right?

But in the end he held back.

He made wine and also had high-end wine. He could not be attracted to other people's wine. He was determined to only use his own wine.

It was his principle.

No matter how beautiful other people's wives were, they belonged to others. His own wife was his. Only by sleeping with his wife could he prove how good she was. Only by drinking his own wine could he tell others that his wine was good.

Zhuang Rui forced himself not to look at the wine. At the same time, he reminded himself that the wine was not as good as his high-end wine. He had high-end wine.

Li Qing threw the bag of wine into the trash can and couldn't help but complain, "Boss Qin, you're using this lousy bag to store such good wine. You're insulting wine."

Qin Lin smiled. Li Qing was especially particular about alcohol. He wondered if his wife would be jealous of alcohol sometimes.

Li Qing carefully picked up the wine and asked Lin Liu to help put away the four bottles of medicinal wine. Lin Fen walked out of the courtyard with Wang Cai.

Ever since Wang Cai learned the skill of catching Frisbee after entering the game, it had a special fondness for the Frisbee game. Many tourists even saw it and took photos of it.

Lin Fen had also been bringing Wang Cai to the undeveloped clearing in the villa to play with the Frisbee. While playing with the dog, she could also be considered to be exercising.

"Woof!"

When Wang Cai came out and saw Qin Lin, it ran to his feet and rubbed against him. It grinned and its eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation.

When Qin Lin saw this, he reached out and rubbed the dog's head.

Satisfied, Wang Cai circled him.

After this dog came out of the game, its ability to act cute had increased. It was clearly a large dog, but it was begging for a hug like a small dog.

Lin Fen came over to hold Wang Cai's hand, worried that it would scare the guests. She thought of something and said to Qin Lin, "Xiao Lin, I came over to take a look at your greenhouse's watermelon vines. They seem to have withered a lot."

Qin Lin knew what his mother was talking about and immediately walked towards the backyard.

Li Qing followed her inside.

He knew that the watermelon vines in the greenhouse were seeds of the mutated watermelon that Boss Qin had cultivated.

Qin Lin entered the greenhouse and frowned.

Many of the watermelon vines had turned yellow.

He stepped forward to check and saw that it wasn't just the leaves. Some of the roots were showing signs of decay. If this went on, they obviously wouldn't survive.

This was clearly a problem with the experiment, but he had clearly followed the steps mentioned in the book step by step. He was also very careful.

Moreover, the watermelon seeds from before had grown very normally and even harvested watermelons.

Or rather, there was nothing wrong with the content of the book, and there was nothing wrong with the steps he was taking. But the seeds in the game he was using were different from the usual seeds, and that was going to go wrong.

This sudden change caught Qin Lin off guard.

It seemed that there was no way to become an expert in this area by reading a book a few times.

After all, he was not on the Internet. When he saw a paragraph of text, he felt that he understood it and could wave it around. Reality was often not that simple.

"Is there a problem?" Li Qing came in and knew that the situation was not good when he saw the dried-up watermelon vines.

"Yes!" Qin Lin nodded and said, "I was too careless. Even according to the book, there are still many changes in reality."

After the villa expanded, Chen Dabei, the head of security, became busy. He had been patrolling with Captain Hong, who was cooperating with the security guards, and dealing with some tourist conflicts. He couldn't help him keep an eye on the backyard.

He had been busy with the winery for the past two days and did not pay attention to it before something went wrong. He did not pay much attention to the withered leaves that appeared previously. It seemed that something went wrong at that time (Chapter 138).

"Boss Qin, don't be anxious. There must be a way to save him." Li Qing hurriedly comforted him.

He had heard from Qin Lin that these seeds were the last ones. If they were not cultivated successfully, they would be extinct.

Moreover, he also knew how useful this watermelon seed would be if it was cultivated. Therefore, after comforting Qin Lin, he said, "Boss Qin, why don't I go back and get my uncle to help you take a look? He's an expert in agricultural research. I can guarantee you that my uncle will never reveal the secret of this seed, nor will he have any designs on it."

"Mr. Li, I'm not worried about that." Qin Lin hurriedly said, "I just thought that this would be too troublesome for your uncle."

He really did not know how to deal with this situation.

It hadn't been mentioned in the book he'd read about seed cultivation.

It would be nice to have an expert in the field to take a look.

Previously, he had heard Li Qing and the others chatting. It seemed that Li Qing's uncle was in the agricultural research field. If the other party could come and help take a look, it would be better than him, who was studying tourism.

Li Qing smiled and said, "With my uncle's personality, he would definitely be too lazy to come here except to fiddle with the research at the Ming City Academy of Agricultural Sciences. But Boss Qin, don't worry. I have a way to bring him over tomorrow and the day after."

Li Qing had always been a person who did what he said, especially when he promised others. In the afternoon, he bade farewell to Qin Lin and returned to the Ming City with his wife and wine.

Zhuang Rui left with him.

Chapter 196

In Ming City's mansion district, a car stopped.

Li Qing got out of the car with his wife. He took out the five bottles of silver wine that he had obtained from Qinglin Villa and carried them upstairs.

After graduating from university and not taking the path of his parents, he moved out of the courtyard and lived outside.

A moment.

Li Qing entered a 300-square-foot duplex. It was beautifully decorated in a Nordic style that his wife liked.

The house was legit. The kind he'd earned with his skills and wasn't afraid to be checked.

Although he could not do business, with his attainments in wine, he was second to none in a place like Ming City. He was also famous in the entire Min Province. It was very easy for him to earn money.

For example, there were really many people who wanted to ask him to mix the aged wine. There were even more people who wanted him to help taste the wine…

He had to pay the appearance fee according to the market and see if he was willing to take action.

None of which he would be restricted from doing.

After returning home, Li Qing instructed Lin Liu, "Wifey, help me bring up the custom-made wine box." As he spoke, he carried the five bottles of silver wine and walked towards the second floor.

He went upstairs and opened the door to a good-sized room. There were several wine racks with bottles of wine in wine boxes.

This was his collection room. Back then, in order to build this collection room, he had even changed his wife's favorite design plan. In the end, he had to renovate it and get his wife a cloakroom of the same size to settle her.

...

He had collected the wine inside over the years. Many of them were unknown wines. Although these wines were not famous, they were not necessarily inferior to those famous wines.

Naturally, no matter how good these wines were, they were nothing compared to Boss Qin's wines. Or rather, there was no need to compare them. If they were compared to Boss Qin's silver bottles, it would be an insult.

To tell the truth, he was rather grateful to this guy Ma Liewen.

If the other party hadn't brought him to Qinglin Villa, he wouldn't have been able to get to know Boss Qin.

The other party's attainments in wine made him a bosom friend.

Lin Liu came in with three exquisite wine boxes and handed them to her husband. "Don't forget what you promised Boss Qin."

"I won't forget." Li Qing took the box.

This kind of box was a double cabinet. It could hold two bottles of wine and could mobilize a fixed space.

He put the five bottles of wine in one by one.

It would be his best possession.

However, just as he fixed it, Li Qing thought of something. He took out another bottle from it and instructed Lin Liu, "Honey, help me pack it up. I'll go to the courtyard later."

Lin Liu looked at Li Qing and asked seriously, "Just one bottle? If we find out, you'll suffer."

Li Qing sighed and reluctantly took out another bottle. "Honey, remember, we only got two bottles from Boss Qin. This wine concerns our sex life."

"Pfft!" Lin Liu blushed at Li Qing's actions. She picked up the two bottles of wine and went downstairs.

She naturally knew what her husband meant. Her husband had indeed become stronger after drinking this wine. He was even more energetic than when he was a young man.

Li Qing also took a set of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

He was exhausted from the drive back.

Lin Liu went downstairs and took out a gift box from a cabinet to wrap the two bottles of wine.

Her husband had some achievements in wine, so gifts were usually related to wine. Her family had already prepared such gift boxes.

Lin Liu packed the two bottles of wine and placed them on the table. Soon, Li Qing changed his clothes and came downstairs.

"I'll go to the courtyard first," Li Qing said as he picked up the two bottles of wine and went out. It was already evening when he drove to the courtyard.

Unlike him, his father, grandfather, and eldest brother had a specially assigned house in the compound.

Li Qing was about to drive through the gate when he was stopped by a guard.

Fortunately, he came back to the compound often and the guards knew him, so they let him in and drove to the largest villa inside.

This was naturally the allocated villa.

As long as one reached a certain level, they would be assigned different-sized villa residences. His father's was the largest one.

Li Qing parked the car and entered the villa. He saw a man in his 50s watching the news in the hall.

"Dad." With a smile, Li Qing stepped forward and placed the two bottles on the table.

"What is it?" Li Zhen asked with a frown.

Li Qing explained, "The medicinal wine that was sent to Grandpa last time."

"Huh?" Li Zhen was inevitably attracted to this.

He naturally knew the effect of this medicinal wine. Previously, his son had brought it over. Other than the taste being inferior, the effect would not be inferior to the medicinal wine of the two traditional Chinese medicine families in Min Province.

Not only could this medicinal wine treat painful illnesses like the old man's frequent urination, but it also had a very strong effect on replenishing blood and circulating qi. It was very effective for him and the old man.

Every year, the Li family would also ask for some medicinal wine from the two traditional Chinese medicine families in Min Province.

However, their family was not the only one who wanted it in the entire Min Province. Moreover, the two families that inherited Chinese medicine had limited medicinal wine.

The Qinglin Medicine Wine that his youngest son had brought back was an unexpected surprise.

Li Zhen opened the package and was slightly surprised to see two silver-bound bottles. "Two at once? The packaging seems to have taken great care this time."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Dad, these two bottles are also more effective than the last one."

"The effect is even stronger?" Li Zhen was surprised. Wasn't this more than the medicinal wine of the two families of traditional Chinese medicine in Min Province? He couldn't help but ask, "This kind of thing should be very rare, right? You begged for two bottles at once?"

Chapter 197

Li Qing explained again, "Dad, others can't even beg for this wine, but I'm different."

"You don't know, but Boss Qin is also a wonderful person. His attainments in wine are even higher than mine. We appreciate each other and have become close friends. Boss Qin only has two bottles of wine of this level left. I've already begged him for them."

"I sent two bottles of wine to you and Grandpa as soon as I got back. I didn't dare keep anything to myself."

Li Zhen nodded when he heard this. "At least you're filial. Let me try this wine first."

"Dad, let me get you a cup." Li Qing smiled as he took it and handed it over.

Li Zhen took the glass and poured himself a drink.

Almost instantly, his eyes lit up. The effect of the wine was so strong that it didn't take long for him to feel the warmth. He felt very comfortable.

This effect was indeed stronger than that of the two Chinese medicine aristocratic families in the province.

"How long will it take for Boss Qin to make a batch of this wine?" Li Zhen couldn't help but ask. Since his son had a good relationship with Boss Qin, it would be easier to ask Boss Qin for wine in the future than to look for the two Chinese medicine aristocratic families in Min Province, right?

Li Qing had no idea how long it would take for Qin Lin to produce a batch. He could only explain, "Dad, I didn't ask Boss Qin how long it would take to produce a batch. It's not good for me to ask about such things."

"However, Boss Qin's wine cellar has a batch of 30-year-old, 25-year-old, and 20-year-old wines this time. Boss Qin specially used 10 catties of 30-year-old and 45 catties of 20-year-old wine to brew this medicinal wine. A batch shouldn't take too long to make."

"Now that Boss Qin is in trouble, if we can help him resolve it, I should be able to get some of this batch of wine."

When Li Zhen heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Which side is the trouble? If it's not against the rules, I'll get your brother to call and say hello. If the worst comes to worst, I'll get your brother to come personally."

...

Li Qing hurriedly said, "Dad, you're mistaken. It's not about that. Boss Qin keeps a low profile and never causes trouble."

"You and Big Brother can't help him either. There's a problem with a seed that Boss Qin is researching. He needs Uncle's help to take a look, but it's not like Uncle can leave just like that."

"That's it?" Li Zhen was a little stunned. He thought it would be more troublesome, so he immediately said, "Leave this to me. I'll call the research institute later."

…

In Qinglin Villa.

After Li Qing left, Qin Lin took the book on cultivating watermelon seeds and studied it for more than an hour.

In the end, he still could not figure out any reason. He could only go back to the office helplessly and wait for Li Qing to bring Uncle Fang over to see if he could help him solve this problem. Otherwise, he could only start over again and repeat the experiment.

After returning to the office, Zhao Moqing looked for him. "Qin Lin, I want you to sign this document."

Qin Lin took the document and looked at it. It was about the winery employee's salary increase.

The winery now belonged to Qinglin Villa. Master Zhang and the others were naturally employees of the villa. In the future, their salaries would also be paid by the villa's accounts.

"Eh, was Master Zhang's salary so low in the past?" Qin Lin was shocked to see the original salary of those teachers. It was only 3,500 yuan, and Master Zhang only had 4,500 yuan.

He had checked this information when he agreed to take over the winery. He knew that in those wineries in the country, inexperienced new employees also earned 3,500 yuan a month. Their experience was around 5,500 to 7,500 yuan after more than three years, and those old masters who had been there for more than ten years basically earned more than 10,000 yuan.

Although the salary in Youcheng County was generally low, wasn't it too low?

It was hard for those old masters like Master Zhang to stay in the winery. If it were any other young people, they would have given it a try.

Now, Zhao Moqing's salary plan was to raise the salary of those old masters to 5,500 yuan. Master Zhang's salary was 6,500 yuan, which was the basic salary. After that, the winery would give a commission for the wine.

Neither he nor Zhao Moqing liked to give their employees a fixed salary. They preferred to give their employees a commission so that their employees would be linked to the income of the villa. The higher the income of the villa, the higher their salary.

This way, it would motivate the employees and make them feel a sense of belonging. The price was that the villa would earn less money every month.

But sometimes, it was difficult to tell if it was a loss or a gain.

Qin Lin picked up a pen and signed the document.

After Zhao Moqing took the document, he said, "By the way, there's one more thing. The winery has been merged into the villa, and there's also a signboard. Also, the signboard of the villa is different from the signboard of the new entrance."

"The key is that I don't think two signs are high-end enough. Should we hire a calligraphy expert to carry a word as a template? Then, we can specially hire someone to build a sign."

"That's true. I'll ask Mr. Chen about this and see if he knows anyone in this field." Qin Lin nodded. He still had to do these things, but he didn't know any calligraphy masters at all.

After all, he was looking for the kind of real calligraphy master who wrote words that looked ancient and elegant. He was not looking for the kind of master who closed his eyes and roared in a certain voice and said, "I can do it too."

After Zhao Moqing left the office, Qin Lin took out his phone and called Chen Shengfei. He asked, "Mr. Chen, I want to make two signs for the villa. Do you know a calligraphy master who can inscribe?"

Chapter 198

When Chen Shengfei heard Qin Lin's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Qin, you've asked the right person. Do you know who my uncle is? He's Master Chen Fengwu, the president of Min Province's Calligraphy Association. Leave your matter to me. When the time comes, I'll get someone to design the inscription into a template blueprint and send it to you. You can just get someone to make it according to the template blueprint."

Chen Shengfei took care of everything.

Moreover, the president of Min Province's Calligraphy Association was obviously generous enough.

He did not stand on ceremony with Chen Shengfei. He would treat him well when he came to the villa again.

After settling the problem of the inscription and template, Qin Lin thought of the wood processor in the game.

Most of the buildings in the villa were special wooden and bamboo landscape buildings. The sign was naturally made of wood.

He remembered that in the game, the wood processor could use blueprints for woodworking.

If he used a wooden sign, he should be able to work with this processor, right? He just didn't know how good the sign made by the wood processor in the game was.

Qin Lin immediately went online and downloaded some of the company's 'signature' blueprints. Then, he locked the office and entered the game.

He put the printed designs into the toolbox and exited the game with another thought.

Qin Lin looked at the game character controlled by the screen in his mind. Indeed, there were some more blueprints in the toolbox. He directly controlled the game character to bring those blueprints to the machine experience center.

When he arrived at the wood processor, a series of operations prompted him:

[You lack the wood to build your sign! You can take the tools and axes of the ranch and go to Mount Notre Dame to get wood!]

...

Seeing the notification, Qin Lin controlled the game character to return to the ranch. He picked up the ax and headed to Mount Notre Dame.

In the old version of Ranches Story, wood could be obtained by directly hacking at a tree stump on the field of the ranch. It could even be directly lifted up with dead branches and placed in the delivery box for sale. The later versions did not have much improvement in this regard.

The new version has improved greatly in this aspect. It could actually cut wood by itself.

After entering Mount Notre Dame, Qin Lin controlled the game character to go to a tree and wanted to cut it down, but there was no movement. This didn't seem to be a tree that could be cut down easily.

He reached a few more trees. Still no response.

After checking more than a dozen trees in a row, he finally received a notification:

[An oak tree has been found that can be cut!]

This time, Qin Lin controlled his game character to react. He swung his axe at the oak tree, and the oak tree trembled.

It seemed that only trees specially refreshed by the system could be cut down.

After a dozen slashes, the oak tree in the game collapsed, and three more sets of wood were added to the ground.

Qin Lin controlled his game character to step forward and put the wood into his backpack.

[Congratulations on obtaining an ordinary oak wood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining an ordinary oak wood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Quality 1 oak wood!]

Qin Lin was stunned when he saw the last notification.

Wood also has Quality 1?

Then would it also have Quality 2?

That seemed rather cool.

It had to be known that now that the natural forest had completely stopped logging, even the trees planted by the farmers would face jail time.

In reality, good wood was getting harder and harder to find, especially in the wild.

What was the most abundant in Mount Notre Dame? Trees!

If he could get some Quality 2 wood, not only could he use the wood processing machine as a signboard, but he could also make all kinds of furniture, right?

Thinking about it, some of the furniture made of high-grade wood on the market was expensive. Many of them were even out of print.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to continue deeper into Mount Notre Dame. A moment later, he received another message:

[An English yew has been discovered. It can be cut!]

"?" Qin Lin was immediately shocked.

An English yew?

Wasn't this giving him free lunch for three years?

Chapter 199

An English yew?

This was a national level-one protected plant, and it was very rare.

The key was that not only was it illegal to cut down this thing, but it was also illegal to transport and sell it.

Wasn't the game farming thing making things difficult for players like him who had obtained the system?

Breaking the law was definitely not an option.

This kind of national level-one protective plant could not be cut down.

As Qin Lin thought, he controlled the game character to swing his ax at the tree.

After hacking a dozen times, the yew turned into three portions of wood material.

Qin Lin didn't even look at the wood material. He controlled the game character to continue walking deeper into the mother mountain.

He had chopped the yews in the game, but that was because he was afraid of occupying the respawning spot. If they couldn't be brought out, they would be like trash. He couldn't even be bothered to pick them up.

He was a law-abiding man.

The game character moved on. Before long, he encountered another tree:

[A Chinese rosewood tree has been discovered. It can be cut!]

...

"?" Qin Lin felt that the game's lousy planner was at odds with the conservation plant.

He discovered that two of the three trees that could be cut were actually protected plants.

This rosewood was also a national level-two protected plant.

However, compared to yew, rosewood was not prohibited from buying and selling. Some could still be cut with logging permits.

Because there was a special source of Chinese rosewood in the country.

Therefore, many rosewood products were also traded in the Chinese market, such as rosewood bracelets, rosewood sculptures, rosewood furniture… and so on.

He'd once seen a news report that showed some very expensive rosewood on the market. Rumor had it that a very rare and expensive rosewood from the south had sold for 100,000 yuan a catty.

At one auction, a rosewood bed was sold for 12.4 million.

Naturally, this was not referring to the kind of artificially cultivated rosewood new wood. The kind of artificially grown rosewood that ripened in three to five years was only about 500 to 600 yuan per tree.

A rosewood that grew naturally for about 20 years would cost about 2,000 yuan per catty after removing the white wood to reach a diameter of 10cm.

If it was more than 30 years old, it could usually reach 15 centimeters after removing the white wood. The price would be 3 to 4 thousand yuan per catty.

Naturally, it would take at least 300 years to reach the price of 100,000 yuan per catty that was mentioned in the news.

As for the rosewood bed that was auctioned for 12.4 million yuan, not only was it old, but it also had antique value.

However, such items were also difficult to buy. There were too many artificial frauds, and many people had been deceived before. Therefore, the officials had also released news to warn the public that they needed to be careful when buying.

Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to hack at the rosewood. After more than ten slashes, the tree fell. This time, there were two more sets of wood, a total of five sets.

He controlled the game character to put the wood into his backpack one by one.

[Congratulations on obtaining an ordinary rosewood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining an ordinary rosewood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining Quality 1 rosewood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining Quality 1 rosewood!]

[Congratulations on obtaining Quality 3 rosewood!]

"There's a Quality 3 wood already?" Qin Lin was surprised. He looked at his game character's backpack that was already full and controlled his game character to return to the ranch.

Under the game's characteristics, although the backpack did not restrict the size of the items and the number could also be stacked, the weight was limited. One had to eat the fruit of the Tree of Strength to increase the weight.

He controlled the game character to return to the ranch, took out the wood, and put it down. He especially placed the Quality 3 yellow rosewood aside and entered the game with a thought.

The wood material that appeared in front of him was no longer a cartoon from the game. It was real wood.

Qin Lin immediately looked at the Quality 3 rosewood, but when he saw the notification, he was dumbfounded.

[Chinese Rosewood: Quality 3]

[This is wood cut from a special rosewood tree. Hollow rot +3!]

"?" Qin Lin didn't know what to say for a moment.

Hollow Rot +3?

Quality 3 had negative attributes?

Wasn't it just a piece of rotten wood?

He recalled the game's mystery box opening. The top-grade attribute was to reduce health points every second. If this thing was opened, it would be the fate of being broken down into materials by the players.

Qin Lin raised his foot and stepped on it. As expected, this Quality 3 rosewood directly broke and shattered, revealing the hollow rotten wood.

This stupid game planner was teasing people.

He immediately made contact with other rosewood and oak.

[Chinese Rosewood: Quality 1]

[This is wood cut from a special rosewood tree: Fragrance reduction +1, wood hardness +1, texture perception +1, insect repellent +1.]

This was the normal attribute addition.

The deodorant fragrance was a unique smell of rosewood. It was a spicy and unpleasant wood smell that slowly turned into a delicate fragrance over time.

Hard wood was also a characteristic of rosewood. This was also the result of the older the tree, the denser it was. There was naturally no need to mention the texture and perception. Most of the wood used to make furniture was also one of the necessary conditions.

Insect repellent had the same effect as mosquito incense. Many people would scrape rosewood into powder incense to purify the air and chase away mosquitoes.

It was rumored that this rosewood tree had some special effects beyond a certain age. He wondered if it was true.

The rosewood he had obtained did not have any of such special effects.

Chapter 200

Qin Lin squatted down and looked at the growth rings of the two rosewood.

The growth ring of the rosewood tree was different from other tree rings. On average, it could grow three growth rings a year.

The yellow rosewood produced by this game had been directly turned into materials. There was no way to see how big it was. One could only judge the price based on its age.

"95 and 105, respectively?" Qin Lin was stunned. The two Quality 1 rosewood growth rings from the same tree were actually different.

However, this was a game after all, so the materials dropped could naturally be different. In other words, these two sets of materials had grown for more than 30 years.

Under normal circumstances, after removing the white wood from the 30-year-old rosewood, the price could reach 3 to 4,000 yuan. With those attributes, it was definitely not a problem for the game to reach the most expensive price at this level. It would only cost 4,000 yuan per catty.

Then he looked at the other timbers.

[Rosewood: Ordinary]

[This is just plain rosewood.]

"…" Qin Lin.

The note was simple enough.

[Oak wood: Quality 1]

[This is wood cut from a special oak tree: color +1, material hardness +1, texture perception +1, waterproof function +1!]

...

[Oak wood: Ordinary]

[This is just plain oak wood.]

Qin Lin roughly looked at the notes of these woods. The additional attributes were basically related to wood.

To be honest, such attributes could not be compared to the additional attributes of the medicinal wine. However, the price of such things was very high.

A rosewood of Quality 1 could be sold for 4,000 yuan per catty. How many watermelons of Quality 2 was that equal to?

Qin Lin logged out of the game and controlled the game character to pick up the two rosewood of Quality 1 and head to the processing facility.

He hadn't forgotten that he was here to experiment with using wood processing to make signs.

And oak was much less valuable than rosewood.

If he could build a sign with a wood processor, the villa sign would definitely be made with rosewood afterward, not oak.

After controlling the game character to return to the wood processor in the processing building, Qin Lin chose the option of using his own blueprint to build it. Then, he randomly clicked on a blueprint and chose a Quality 1 rosewood to build.

Moments later he got a prompt:

[Congratulations on creating a successful signboard!]

Seeing this scene, Qin Lin's face lit up.

It meant it could be done.

The signature design was casually downloaded from the Internet. On this piece were the words 'Shuyi Hotel'.

Qin Lin clicked on the remaining rosewood of Quality 1. This time, he specially chose a plaque design. On it were the words 'Heaven Rewards the Diligent'.

It was probably a kind of plaque for the office.

He chose to forge it. A moment later, he received another message notification:

[Congratulations on successfully creating a plaque!]

Qin Lin controlled the game character to put away the signboard and plaque. He returned to the ranch and took them out. Then, with a thought, he entered the game and saw the sign board and plaque.

It was no longer a cartoon. Instead, it was two real and delicate items. The workmanship was exquisite and beautiful.

[Shuyi Hotel Sign (Rosewood): Quality 1]

[This is a sign board made of rosewood: Fragrance reduction +1, wood hardness +1, texture perception +1, insect repellent +1, attracting attention +1!]

This signboard had clearly inherited the attributes of Quality 1 rosewood. Moreover, it had an additional attribute of 'attracting attention' +1.

That was one of the things that attracted attention.

To be honest, with this 'attract attention +1' and the value of the rosewood itself, Qin Lin felt that the signboard was already very good.

This signboard weighed almost 15 catties. According to this level, 4,000 yuan per catty, the value of the materials alone would be 60,000 yuan. Coupled with other values and processing fees, it would cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

This was much better than the sign his villa used now.

He suddenly regretted the calculation. It was such a waste to build a Shuyi Hotel sign.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent rosewood plaque: Quality 1]

[This is a plaque made from rosewood: Scent reduction +1, wood hardness +1, texture perception +1, insect repellent +1, high-end atmosphere +1!]

Clearly, this plaque had also inherited the attributes of the quality rosewood. Moreover, it also had an additional attribute of high-end atmosphere.

Wouldn't a plaque in the office want a high-end atmosphere?

The weight of this plaque was about the same as that signboard. How could something that cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan not be impressive?

Fortunately, this worked.

After confirming that the wood processing machine could process the signboard, Qin Lin was relieved. He could just go to Mount Notre Dame to cut wood now.

He could just obtain high-quality rosewood and use it as a manor sign.

Moreover, when he obtained high-quality rosewood in the future, he could even use it to make some furniture. If it was placed in the game for some time, it would become an antique.

When the time came, he would have a rosewood bed, a table, chairs, and a tea table.

After that…

Qin Lin exited the game again and controlled the game character to go to Mount Notre Dame to cut wood again. For the rest of the day, he would be completely at Mount Notre Dame.

There were many new trees on Mount Notre Dame, including elm, maple, pine, and so on. However, he did not encounter any rosewood until the trees on Mount Notre Dame were gone.

It seemed that the wood needed to be refreshed before it could be cut.

However, at noon the next day, Qin Lin discovered that the trees had refreshed again. Moreover, the first tree he discovered was actually a rosewood. After cutting down this rosewood, he still obtained five portions of rosewood. Moreover, the harvest was delightful.
