Chapter 28 is on TV!
Little Grey definitely needs a playmate of the same age.
This is the age when people love to play.
The farm is so big, yet it doesn't have any suitable friends.
The chickens run away when they see it and don't want to bother with it.
The pigs are all in the pigpen, they only know how to eat and sleep, and have no interest in playing at all.
Little Grey occasionally bothers its parents because it's so lively and active. Cola and Sprite sometimes even yell at it.
So, Little Grey went out to make friends by himself.
Even the village dogs have gangs, and even the puppies seek the protection of their gangs.
That's how Little Grey found a lone little yellow cow.
Although the little yellow calf looks big, it is only a few months old and not much different in age from the little gray calf.
The two immediately began playing intimately together.
After Xu Ran bought the calf, Xiao Hui took the calf to inspect the farm.
A dog and a cow trotted side by side.
Little Gray ran quite fast, and every now and then he would look back to make sure Little Yellow was following behind. Only after confirming that he was keeping up would he continue running happily.
The scene was very interesting.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ran also laughed.
It's clear that Little Grey is having a lot of fun.
As long as you're happy.
Raising a cow wouldn't be bad either.
Cows are gentle and easy to raise; there's plenty of grass on the farm for them to eat as much as they want.
Xu Ran's system store has medicine to treat animals, so he doesn't have to worry about them getting sick.
For animals, farms are truly a paradise.
That night, the little yellow calf slept in the yard, and the little gray calf snuggled up to it.
Summer nights are very cool.
Because Xu Ran had insect repellent beads, there were hardly any mosquitoes in his yard.
The calf took the most comfortable nap of its life.
The next morning.
As dawn broke, while it was still somewhat hazy, the farm began to bustle with activity.
The employees came to work one after another.
When Li Wu entered, he first stopped his motorcycle and looked around to make sure there were no giant pandas before daring to ride in.
The giant panda that morning really frightened him.
Li Wu also likes animals, but they have to be gentle and familiar small animals.
He dared not get close to a giant panda that weighs several hundred pounds.
The farm is busy today too.
We need to fertilize the newly planted tomatoes and weed and spray pesticides in the sunflower field.
A 20-mu sunflower field would have taken several days to complete using manual labor in the past.
Now, with agricultural drones, things are much more convenient. The entire operation is mechanized, and all you need to do is know how to fly a drone.
Li Wu was in charge of this task, and he was very happy about it, even posting about it on his WeChat Moments.
He didn't have much formal education, but he heard that drones were cutting-edge technology and operating them was a very popular skill, so he felt that he was keeping up with the times.
It has not been eliminated by the times.
Zhang Wen diligently followed Xu Ran's instructions, busy fertilizing in the greenhouse.
The fertilizers were all redeemed by Xu Ran from the system store. They could not only adjust the soil nutrients, but also prevent diseases and disasters.
With such meticulous care, the tomato yield will be incredibly high.
Xu Ran herself was much more relaxed.
He played with Little Grey and Little Cow.
Xu Ran named the calf "Xiao Huang" (Little Yellow), but to Xu Ran's surprise, Xiao Huang didn't seem to realize that it was a cow.
When it's hot, it sticks out its tongue like Little Gray.
When they're happy, they even jump around on the spot.
I can't imagine what it would be like if it grew up and was still like this.
It's like a 200-pound strongman dancing the Swan Lake.
But it's quite interesting to keep them.
In the morning, Wang Ping came to see Xu Ran.
"Ran-ge, I'm thinking of buying an iron griddle so I can make pancakes. If you go up the mountain for anything, you can take the pancakes with you."
Wang Ping is doing a great job on the farm, and she especially loves farm life, so she works with great enthusiasm.
"Buy it. What other cooking utensils do you need? Just send me the list and I'll buy them."
"We've got everything ready: steam oven, grill, barbecue grill, and so on."
"Just make the list, I'll pay for it. You don't need to pay for it yourself. I never let you pay for things here."
Xu Ran immediately agreed.
The farm currently only has a few people and no dedicated finance department, so Xu Ran bought it himself.
When things get busier and there are more people, I reckon I'll need to hire an accountant.
"There's one more thing. There's a dairy farmer in the village who lives not far from here. Go buy two jin of milk and have him deliver two jin every day."
"I feed the calves here, and we can have some to drink ourselves."
"It's best to go in the afternoon, when he milks the milk before it's diluted with water."
"By the time he puts it on the market, it will definitely be diluted with water."
Xu Ran explained.
With the calf, you'll need to feed it milk.
There are milk delivery services in the village, but Xu Ran knows that after the milk is squeezed out, the farmers will definitely pour water into it in order to earn more money.
It's just a little water, so the impact won't be significant.
But it's best to avoid it if possible.
"Okay, Ran-ge, I'll head over this afternoon."
Wang Ping agreed.
The little yellow calf was very affectionate towards Xu Ran and took the initiative to ask Xu Ran to pat its head.
This guy must have recognized the Border Collie puppy as his boss.
The boss's boss is naturally also its boss.
Xu Ran reached out and patted the guy's head.
Just then, the system panel suddenly popped up.
[Trigger Quest: Feed the Mutant Bull!]
[Task Description: A bovine calf has been detected nearby. This species has mutated and is extremely aggressive, posing a significant danger. Please feed the calf.]
[Mission Reward: Increased loyalty. Once loyalty reaches 100, the pet can be signed as a battle pet in the apocalypse.]
[After signing the contract, the battle pet's abilities in all aspects will be enhanced.]
Upon seeing the system panel, Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.
"A mutated bull? I'm a mutated Yili!"
"This guy doesn't seem aggressive at all."
Xu Ran looked at the little yellow ox.
Because the calf was born not long ago and wasn't well cared for, it looked rather thin.
The overall impression is somewhat dull.
This guy doesn't seem aggressive at all.
"I guessed that the mutated cows in the apocalypse would be terrifying, and in fact they are quite powerful. Ordinary animals can't afford to mess with such a huge body."
Xu Ran clicked his tongue.
For him, the task was too easy.
It was something that came easily to me.
It doesn't take much effort at all.
Xu Ran waved to the little yellow calf, and the calf followed the Border Collie and ran off to play in the distance.
Don't step on my sunflowers!
Xu Ran reminded them.
Little Gray is very clever; he knows the difference between crops and weeds.
When herding sheep, the flock can eat wild grass, but if any sheep enters the villagers' fields or vegetable gardens, Little Grey will immediately drive them out.
So Xu Ran reminded Xiao Hui that Xiao Hui could understand.
That evening, the expedition team contacted Xu Ran, saying that the official video compilation of the expedition had been released. Curious, Xu Ran went online to check it out, and he appeared in the last part of the video.
"With the guidance of local farmers, the expedition team successfully photographed wild giant pandas. The pandas were in good health, indicating that the natural environment is improving; 'green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets'..."
The official voiceover has been released.
"You're on TV!" Xu Ran was immediately delighted.
Although it only spread within the city, it was still quite interesting to see oneself on official cameras.
Even a small farmer on a dilapidated farm can do some very meaningful things.
