Chapter 496: Farming in the Interstellar World (8)
What happened on the spaceship had nothing to do with Shen Yao who was far away at home.
Shen Yao stayed at home alone for a few days, and then slowly returned to school when school started.
During this period, she did not forget the chamomile she had collected from her own fields. Due to its excellent quality, she made a lot of federal currency after selling it to pharmacies.
"You are the most talented person in farming that I have ever seen. You may be able to work in the Ministry of Agriculture in the future." You should know that the treatment of people working in federal government departments is too good, especially the Ministry of Agriculture that controls the entire interstellar rations. This fully demonstrates the value of the saying that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Shen Yao thanked the pharmacy owner for his confidence in her, and thought that the level of competition in the interstellar world was no less intense than that of civil servants in modern society.
Rather than letting her take the exam for the most competitive position in the Ministry of Agriculture, it would be better to let her farm on her own so that she has a better chance of becoming rich and achieving financial freedom.
"Boss, if you have medicinal herbs of this quality in the future, will you buy them?"
It is not cost-effective to use good quality chamomile as an ornamental crop.
"Yes, as long as the quality is still the same, I can give you a 10% price increase," the boss said with a distressed look on his face.
After all, bosses like to make money but not spend it. If they spend a little, it could cost them half their lives.
Shen Yao muttered in her heart that her boss was stingy, but she still thanked him for his generosity.
Anyway, the goods are good and there is no difficulty in selling them. If the price here is not high, you can go to another store. Although the geographical location of Planet L98 is remote, the transportation is not poor.
Some large interstellar companies and groups will also open branches on Planet L98, and their prices may even be higher than those of private stores.
After waving goodbye to the boss, Shen Yao turned and went to the grocery store to buy seeds.
The grocery store has a wide variety of goods. Most of the seeds that Shen Yao carefully selected are stored in the space, and a small portion is used for planting.
Of course, her space is also filled with various specialties from other worlds. Now she has no idea about the interstellar situation and cannot use it smuggled in. Once she has a better understanding of the situation, Shen Yao feels that the business of buying planets and farming will be just around the corner.
…………
"Shen Yao, you're really working hard. Are you sure?" Seeing Shen Yao working on the farm so hard and persisting for several years, Zou Xue even reduced her original idea of just living a lazy life.
Shen Yao, who has been in school for nearly three years and is about to graduate from college, nodded and said, "Farming is not dangerous, and I can earn money with peace of mind."
Compared to being an exploration hunter or an interstellar civil servant, farming is the best way to satisfy Shen Yao's desire for freedom.
Who doesn't want to live the life they want? Shen Yao has this ability, so of course she should seize it.
Zou Xue hummed and said, "You are right. I don't plan to continue studying, but I don't want to join a huge crowd to climb a single-plank bridge. Alas," I am so sad.
Citizens of the interstellar world also have their own worries. Even if their life expectancy increases, they still have to live, and their daily food and drink expenses require real money.
Tang Wen and Yu Feifei came in from outside, carrying the food they brought back.
Tang Wen even took out a prepared vinegar fish from the capsule space.
"It cost a lot of money, and this fish was shipped here from Planet L90," Tang Wen waved to Zou Xue and Shen Yao to come over, and also celebrated her success in finding a job (with the help of her family). Even if the sisters separate in the future, they will always remember each other when they become rich and powerful.
"After graduation, I will go to Planet L20 to further my studies. If you need anything, please let me know and I will send it to you across the planet by express delivery."
Planet L20 is rich in resources, and its food and drink are the best among all L-series planets. Buying and selling things is also very cheap.
Yu Feifei casually released a big thunder, which made Zou Xue's eyes red with envy.
Woo woo woo woo
Zou Xue felt like a loser in the whole dormitory and was crying inside.
The vinegar fish tasted delicious, and Tang Wen and Yu Feifei packed a lot of food, so the four of them successfully ate their fill.
Zou Xue burped and complained that she was the only one who had no place to stay in the entire dormitory. She said that she would work hard no matter what and strive to become someone that the sisters could rely on (rob?).
As soon as graduation season comes, time flies.
Among the four, Yu Feifei was the first to leave. Because she went to Planet L20 as an international student, she did not have time to attend the graduation ceremony.
The next person to leave was Tang Wen. Civil servants have restrictions on the time they can take up their posts, and graduation certificates can be sent out through technological means, so there is no need to spend time in school.
Finally, Shen Yao said goodbye to Zou Xue who stayed in school, packed her luggage and moved to the suburbs.
After three years of accumulation, the area of land leased by Shen Yao has reached thousands of acres.
Most of them are chamomile, and a small part is planted with other matching plants. The area of the portable field has reached nearly 1,000 square meters. As always, it follows the high-tech route and is Shen Yao's main source of income.
However, this way of renting land still prevented her from becoming a planet owner. She didn't save enough money to buy a planet.
Any planet put up for auction, no matter how ordinary it is, will cost at least eight digits, and a higher price will cost more than nine or ten digits.
'The host can first buy land in remote areas and become a farmer.'
Take it step by step. You can't become fat in one bite if you are skinny.
'Land is cheap in remote areas, transportation is inconvenient, and you need to buy your own aircraft.' The bulk of their investment is in other areas.
In areas with developed transportation, land prices remain high.
Shen Yao looked at the chamomile that was about to bloom in front of her and casually called up the land distribution of the planet L98.
The land around the capital, Drab, is the scarcest, with only this suburban area.
The further away from Drab, the denser the land resources, and similarly, the fewer people there are, making life inconvenient.
After picking and choosing and marking, Shen Yao finally decided on a few good locations.
"Please check if there are any troubles in these places for me." Shen Yao was an orphan with no power or influence.
If she lived in a populous capital, perhaps no one would plot against her, but if she lived in a remote city with a sparse population and small groups, all kinds of dirty things could happen to her.
Shen Yao is naturally not afraid of these, but she cannot be asked to compete with the people around her while farming. God knows that she really just wants to be a farmer, and her biggest goal is to become the owner of a planet.
The system nodded twice in agreement, and earnestly stated that it would do its best.
Shen Yao waved her hand, "It's not your fault that the L-series planets have no spiritual energy."
When we save enough money in the future and travel to other planets by spaceship, maybe everything will be bright.'
System: ...The host is more open than it thought.
The system immediately turned around to investigate an area circled by the host, searching 360 degrees to ensure that no small matter was missed.
Shen Yao stayed in a small house in the fields outside the city, cultivating her spiritual body and taking care of the fields on a daily basis, hoping to sell the plants for a good price.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, when the plants in the fields mature, Shen Yao uses robots to harvest and package them, and then sends them to pharmacies and flower shops for sale.
New seeds were sown on the already turned land. Shen Yao did not renew her contract with the leasing company. When the contract expires at the end of the year, she will leave the capital Drab and go to her new residence Hengso to farm.
The system hesitated, "Host, do you really want to go?"
"How can you make a lot of money to buy a planet if you don't go?" Shen Yao sorted out the space supplies, such as some seeds from other worlds, which she put away separately and never used.
It is still too dangerous here, and the farming robot is not just for her.
'How's the weather in Hengso? We need to go there in winter so that we can catch up with the spring ploughing next year.'
The system thought for a moment, 'Hengsuo is different from Drab, with four distinct seasons. Although it does not affect farming, considering the host's health and the harvest of the fields, it is recommended to purchase enough constant temperature covers.'
Then the entire field can be covered and the constant temperature can be automatically adjusted.
Not only the constant temperature cover recommended by the system, but also the necessary helper robots for farming. It is cheaper and faster to buy them from the capital Drab than to buy them locally.
Moreover, after three years of farming, Shen Yao had managed to save a considerable sum of money.
Aircraft, space backpacks, culture agents... Before leaving the capital Drab, Shen Yao took out the membership discount card in his hand and spent a lot of money.
"Rich man, rich!"
Zou Xue raised her glass to see Shen Yao off. Although Tang Wen and Yu Feifei were not there, they each gave a parting gift.
The four of them were not affected by their separation in their relationship. On the contrary, just a few words in the group chat made them cherish each other even more.
"Go to Hengsuo when you have time. Although it's remote, the environment there is good."
Shen Yao raised the glass, clinked it gently with Zou Xue's, then tilted her head back and drank all the juice.
Zou Xue smiled and said that she would definitely go. Although the location of Planet L98 is remote, it is very comfortable for citizens like them who have lived here all their lives. There is no high-pressure threat, so who can say it is bad?
After having a meal with Zou Xue, Shen Yao did not forget to say goodbye to other people she was familiar with.
"It's okay. Hengsuo also has companies and businesses. Here, keep the business card. You can contact me directly if you have any goods." The owner of the pharmacy took out a business card and handed it to Shen Yao, while shaking the bracelet on his wrist.
Shen Yao:......
“I didn’t expect the boss to have such a big family and business,” Hengso is thousands of miles away from Drab.
The boss waved his hand and said, "It's just to make a living and eat."
Fortunately, the owner of the flower shop didn't have any special powers. He just failed to make a deal with Shen Yao, and thus lost some income every year.
Shen Yao also felt it was a pity. Selling other plants to flower shops was the most cost-effective. Now that she went to Hengsuo, she had to rely on herself to explore everything.
After booking a long-distance hovercraft to Hengso and renting out her house to an agent, Shen Yao put the necessary items into a space backpack and left Drab one morning, feeling refreshed.
Long-distance hovercrafts provide space for rest and for enjoying the scenery outside.
Shen Yao lay on the capsule bed, swiping her bracelet to browse information about Hengsuo.
Hengsuo is the largest farming city on planet L98, where 98% of the land is used for farming. Due to its vast and flat land, Hengsuo has become the main grain-producing area on planet L98, and some grain varieties are even exported to surrounding planets.
It only took Shen Yao a little more than half a day to travel to Hengsuo.
The advancement of technology has brought more convenient transportation, even if two places are thousands of miles apart.
After getting off the car, Shen Yao first went to the agreed agency store.
There is no need to worry about the house for now, because Shen Yao plans to buy a small farm, which comes with accommodation and land.
"Hello, guest. These are several farms that have been selected in advance and meet your requirements," the intermediary drove the aircraft and took Shen Yao directly for an on-site inspection.
In modern society, farms are divided into four types according to their size.
Small farms are usually between one hectare and ten hectares (15 acres to 150 acres).
But in the interstellar world, interplanetary travel is common, and the geographical divisions within each planet are also different. For example, the small farms in Hengso are generally between 1500 and 7500 hectares ( to acres) in size. As for medium and large farms, they are even more shockingly large.
The agent took Shen Yao to several places, and it was dark when they returned to the store.
As Shen Yao wished, he chose a relatively suitable small farm, located not far from the outer area of Hengsuo Central District. The planting area is about 300 hectares, which is enough for Shen Yao to use for farming and breeding for the time being.
The two parties quickly finalized the contract and completed the transfer and payment through government departments.
By the time Shen Yao came out of the agency to look for accommodation, she had officially become a farmer, although it was only in the initial stages.
Coming to a new place, one will definitely feel uncomfortable, but Shen Yao didn't feel anything because she was too busy.
On the premise that there are sufficient seeds, Shen Yao placed orders online for other livestock breeds such as chickens, ducks, geese, fish, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. After all, the farm is large and it is impossible to use it all for planting.
Since it's a farm, there must be both animals and plants. Moreover, the place Shen Yao chose is close to a large naturally formed lake with many river fish. As long as it's not too much, she can catch them for free. It can be considered as a gift for buying something here.
Shopping, spending, spending, Shen Yao also placed an order for several robots specifically for taking care of livestock.
As for the housing issues inside the farm, we can just place an order and hire a decoration team to take care of it.
After staying in the hotel for about three days, Shen Yao received a bill from the decoration team. After checking out of the room, she drove the aircraft straight to the farm.
There was a navigation system inside the aircraft. She had obtained her pilot's license when she was in Drab, and now she could take this opportunity to get more familiar with it.
"Boss Shen"
The captain of the decoration team asked Shen Yao to check the results, and if they were satisfied, they would pack up and leave.
"I will contact you directly if I expand the scale of breeding in the future."
Shen Yao was satisfied with the work efficiency and quality of these people. Both the house she lived in and the breeding facilities built around it were very reasonable.
After remitting the final payment, Shen Yao took out the air freshener and sprayed the whole body of the room, then released the household robot to make small adjustments. Shen Yao took out the balance car used for transportation on the farm and began to check the planting situation on the farm.
In the fields, farming robots are sowing seeds, applying fertilizers and watering.
In the breeding area, breeding robots are transporting grass to feed the livestock cubs delivered by express delivery.
In the two ponds not far away, you can vaguely see fish fry playing.
Finally, Shen Yao parked the balance bike at the door of her residence and went in to rest.
