Chapter 84 The fox that unexpectedly stumbled in, and took the initiative to act cute?!
These past few days, Xu Ran has been busy again.
There are mainly two things.
The first step is to determine that the remaining five greenhouses will all be planted with cucumbers.
In other words, half of the greenhouses on the farm are used to grow tomatoes, and the other half are used to grow cucumbers.
The second is to recruit a few more employees.
Xu Ran even held a meeting to discuss the cucumber issue.
A meeting is simply a gathering of people in a conference room to chat.
"Grow cucumbers, Ran-ge? Aren't cucumbers everywhere these days?"
"We have some in our vegetable garden."
"How much money can you make from this?"
Li Wu immediately raised questions.
Cucumbers are so common in the village that you could say every household grows them.
"There are fewer cucumbers in winter, so they can fetch a good price. Plus, cucumbers have a short growing cycle; a batch can be grown in as little as two months."
"It will take about a month to harvest and fatten the crops, and we can grow about four batches a year."
"Moreover, my cucumber variety is also special, and I'm going for a premium product, so there won't be any problems."
Xu Ran explained to everyone.
Hearing him say that, the employees all nodded.
The boss tells us what to plant, so we just need to follow instructions and do our jobs.
"Then I plan to hire a few more people, preferably young men."
"Farm work is quite strenuous; sometimes we're busy from morning till night, it's not easy."
"You are welcome to make recommendations, but please tell me about your situation beforehand."
"I will also recruit myself."
Xu Ran then added.
Upon hearing that there was a new employee, everyone immediately perked up.
After all, the farm now has 10 greenhouses and 120 acres of wheat fields, which is too much for just 4 people to handle even if they work themselves to death.
It takes at least 6 to 8 people.
These people are mainly responsible for daily maintenance, and when it's harvest time, they have to hire some temporary workers to help.
Xu Ran's farm is now a large farm.
It's a legitimate company.
The town leaders even came once, specifically to see what was going on. After all, there aren't many businesses in a town, and Xu Ran is considered an outstanding young entrepreneur in the town, so the leaders naturally wanted to show their concern for the farm.
The farm is getting better and better.
Xu Ran plans to build new houses on the farm, including staff dormitories and office buildings, once this batch of tomatoes is sold.
He built his own small courtyard.
Although it is agricultural land, the area he contracted is large, so these approvals were easy to obtain.
Xu Ran's business was about to take off.
That afternoon.
The sunlight shone down.
The weather is still very nice.
However, the farm is located at the foot of the mountain, which is very open and the temperature is quite low, so you need to wear thermal underwear.
Xu Ran strolled around the wheat field.
Just then, two sparrows suddenly flew over, flapping their little wings and chirping in front of Xu Ran.
As the king of birds, Xu Ran naturally understood what they meant.
The little guy is saying, "Enemy sights detected! Enemy sights detected!"
As expected of the Flying Bird Intelligence Group, their information came very timely.
"What's going on? Okay, I'll go check it out now."
Seeing the sparrows, Xu Ran followed their directions and walked forward.
at the same time.
Wasteland.
The hens are searching for grass seeds to eat, scattered in various places.
A handsome but slightly dirty red fox slipped through the fence into the farm and ran toward the hen.
In the fox's eyes, this place was simply paradise.
There was plump, tender chicken meat everywhere.
But just as it was about to open its mouth, a majestic tabby cat rushed over, hissed at the fox, and brandished its sharp claws.
Foxes also eat cats, provided they are domestic cats that are not very strong and are timid.
For example, there are three timid country cats on the farm.
But the tabby cat is different.
While Xu Ran was out of sight, it had already gone to Nanshan Village and gotten into countless fights.
If it returns injured, Xu Ran will give it special medicine to heal its wounds.
The next day it went out to fight full of energy.
The cats in Nanshan Village all recognize it.
Little Tabby hasn't gone out on the farm lately because a couple of days ago it went to challenge its dad to a fight, got beaten up by its dad, and came back feeling a bit sick and limping.
Its wounds have just healed, so it's settling down for now.
By chance, the red fox saw the hen and wanted to eat it. The little tabby noticed this and immediately breathed on it to drive it away.
The red fox was startled and took a step back.
Seeing that the little tabby was not to be trifled with, it lowered its body and whimpered, then looked at the mother hen.
It means:
There are so many hens, I won't fight you for them, I'll just eat one.
The little tabby cat breathed on it again, firmly refusing.
The red fox refused to give up and took a few steps forward, at which point the little tabby immediately rushed over and swatted it with its claws.
Cat's sharp claws.
The red fox reacted quickly, nimbly leaping backward to dodge the grab.
The red fox meowed at the tabby cat.
It seems to be an insult, criticizing it for meddling in other people's business.
The tabby cat didn't indulge it; its face still held a look of wanting to drive it away.
Just then, Xu Ran walked over here.
The little sparrow was warning him about this red fox.
"It's a fox! It's come down from the mountain!"
Xu Ran's eyes lit up.
Foxes are quite pleasing to the eye.
It's also the kind of appearance that people really like.
I want to touch it just by looking at it.
Of course, Tibetan foxes are an exception; they're too old-fashioned.
When the red fox saw Xu Ran approaching, it was so frightened that it took a few steps back before stopping and looking back.
The little tabby cat came to Xu Ran's feet, her expression returned to calm, and she sat down lightly.
Red Fox could tell that Little Fox and Xu Ran were in cahoots.
It realized something was wrong.
"You want some chicken? But I can't give you any!"
"They were all raised by me."
Xu Ran spoke to the fox.
"But if you come over, I'll feed you something else."
Xu Ran continued.
He looked around; the employees were all busy in the greenhouse, and no one was paying attention to him.
Xu Ran took a baby bottle directly from the system space.
The baby bottles and formula are redeemed from the system store and can be directly combined into bottles of formula, so they can be stored in the system space.
Xu Ran now has something in common with having a magic bag, storing many props.
Of course, these props don't have any magical functions; they all exist in the real world.
The red fox is very clever.
It looked at the little tabby cat, then at the little sparrow on Xu Ran's shoulder.
It quickly realized that the lord of this area was Xu Ran.
There's an old saying, "The fox borrows the tiger's power," meaning the fox knows exactly how to leverage someone else's influence.
In addition, since this guy is a canine, the moment he saw Xu Ran, he immediately lay down, whimpering and wagging his big, fluffy tail rapidly from side to side.
The little tabby cat standing nearby gave a look of disgust.
I look down on that fawning attitude.
The fox didn't care about any of that. It lowered its body, put on a smile, and continued to whine.
That was really cute.
Xu Ran immediately burst into laughter.
"She's quite smart; she understood as soon as I explained it."
He walked forward with the baby bottle in his hand. The red fox was clearly a little scared, its ears pressed back against its scalp, continuing to try its best to be cute.
Xu Ran walked over to it and saw that the red fox hadn't run away, which made her like it even more.
They all fought for their positions.
Red Fox, observing Xu Ran's expression, saw that it carried goodwill and decided to take a gamble.
Sure enough, Xu Ran simply patted its head.
Then I casually put the bottle into its mouth.
The red fox was hungry, and after drinking the milk, it immediately began to suckle rapidly.
It kept whimpering as it drank.
The little tabby cat couldn't stand seeing the scene unfold. She twisted her mouth, revealing a small tiger tooth, clearly showing her displeasure.
But it did nothing; it simply turned and ran away, disappearing into the distance.
It ran away, but the little Border Collie and the little wild boar came running over.
"Woof!"
Little Grey called out to the red fox.
When the red fox saw Little Gray, it sensed danger and immediately started whimpering, nuzzling its head into Xu Ran's hand.
She continued to act cute and charming.
A public offensive is something most people can't withstand.
Xu Ran smiled and touched it.
Little Gray came over and stared at it.
As is often said, foxes are cunning. The male red fox was wagging its tail at the little gray fox, almost ingratiatingly.
At that moment, two adult Border Collies, Cola and Sprite, also ran over.
A large group of animals surrounded them, creating a very oppressive atmosphere. The red fox was very docile and acted cute in various ways.
"It's okay, don't scare it."
Xu Ran instructed the dogs.
Following Xu Ran's command, the dogs all moved aside.
Having witnessed the entire event, Red Fox now understands Xu Ran's position even more clearly.
Animals have survival genes written in their bones, and the red fox's survival strategy is to take advantage of the situation.
For example, to avoid being bullied, they will roll in tiger urine, pick up the tiger's scent, and then move around in their habitat to drive away other predators.
Seeing the dogs' obedient behavior, the red fox did everything it could to please Xu Ran.
The tail wagged faster and faster.
"Is Gongyao sensible?"
Xu Ran was made a little embarrassed by the flirtatious manner of the man in the public room.
You can't hit a smiling fox.
The guy in the movie is too good at flattering people.
Even more of a lackey than a lackey.
Even Little Gray doesn't have this kind of enthusiasm.
"Alright, alright, you can come to the farm, but you can't eat my chickens."
Xu Ran squatted down and patted its head.
The fox's head is quite nice to touch; it feels good.
"I'll blacklist you once I find out."
"I have some underlings watching you!"
Xu Ran said with a smile.
The fox immediately responded with whimpering, though it's unclear whether it understood.
However, encountering a fox occasionally is still quite novel.
