When Liu Ben first saw that there was no one in the live broadcast room, he ate for a long time. When he finally looked up from his food, he remembered that he had a live broadcast room open on his phone, so he hurriedly looked at the screen.

Then Liu Ben was confused. Why were there so many people in his live broadcast room?

Liu Ben felt like he was in a math class. The teacher had just written 1+1=2 and he had just lowered his head to take notes, but when he looked up, he saw calculus being solved on the blackboard.

It's a rather unrelated metaphor, but that's the point. Liu Ben ate slowly, staring at the comments.

{Autumn Rain Night Talk: Come and worship the CEO’s boyfriend}

{talac: Let me see what the CEO's boyfriend looks like... Hey, he's so handsome!}

{Grayscale: Check-in}

{5912949: Is this true? Are you really the CEO's boyfriend?}

{The fierce white goose: front row photo}

{The magical hair growth essence gave the anchor a fireworks display}

{Fish ball thick noodles: press the claws}

{7599961: Shocked! The CEO's boyfriend is actually a minotaur!}

{--Mystery: Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality...}

Liu Ben looked at it for a while and found that many people said he was the "CEO's boyfriend". What is that?

{Fei Bai: The Bull Head can actually see confusion, could it be a real bull?}

{Silence: Is there a possibility that this is just a hood?}

{Qu Huajiu: It blinks, and its mouth and ears move. It looks just like the real thing!}

{Tianling: As expected of the CEO's boyfriend!}

Liu Ben couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by CEO boyfriend?"

{2128535: The host doesn't know? Check out the recommendation reasons on the homepage!}

Liu Ben immediately clicked on the homepage, and was surprised to find that he was in the first recommended position on the homepage.

But Liu Ben thought about it again and understood. You Ying must have made a request to get him the position. However, he didn't see the "CEO's boyfriend" mentioned by the audience. The only reason for recommending it was "novel and interesting."

Unbeknownst to Liu Ben, You Ying had already contacted the person in charge to fix the issue before he even looked at the screen. The person in charge was horrified when he found out. They were so anxious that no one had even noticed what was being typed, and they hadn't expected anything like this to happen. They immediately contacted the programmer, who was also shaken awake by the incident.

The programmer was innocent. He was too sleepy at the time, and the people around him were chattering about "Mr. You's friend", "girlfriend", "President's beautiful wife", "He is a man", etc. He wrote such a sentence subconsciously in a daze. When he found out that there was a big problem, he quickly called another colleague on duty for help. He directed the modification remotely, and fortunately it was just a few words that were not difficult to change, and it was fixed quickly.

But before that, many people had already seen it.

Confused, Liu Ben returned to the livestream and told the audience, "No, the reason for recommending it is simply that it's novel and interesting."

Liu Ben put the phone back and continued eating, but this time he kept his eye on the words on the screen.

{haimi: It has been modified haha}

{Not often buying North and South: What happened?}

{Caiwei: That’s right. Previously, the reason for recommendation under the recommendation box on the anchor’s homepage was “President You’s boyfriend”, but it was quickly changed.}

{This name really has ten characters: Is this true?}

{Spalletti II gave the anchor 5 flowers}

{Mint Qingyan: Really, I recorded the screen, check my space}

Liu Ben hesitantly reached out and clicked on the viewer's personal space to play the latest video file. It contained the recommendation interface on the homepage, as well as his own appearance after clicking in. The difference from his own homepage was that the reason for recommendation under the recommendation box here was indeed "President You's boyfriend."

It's outrageous.

Liu Ben returned to the live broadcast room and saw that everyone in the comments was laughing and talking about how the host himself didn't know anything, and even the expression on the headgear showed confusion.

Liu Ben himself was still confused, but guessed it was a typo, so he explained, "He's not my boyfriend, just a good friend. Maybe an employee made a typo. I'll go thank him later for putting me on the front page. Haha, you're too polite. There's no need. I'm a newbie and I'm not prepared for anything."

{Youyu V brought a meteor shower to the anchor}

{Youyu V: The programmer made a mistake due to being sleepy. We have already deducted his reward. We apologize for causing trouble to the anchor. [Bow down]}

{Ghost Xi: Amazing! The official is so humble! What a magical character the anchor is.}

{Entao Xiaowanzi: I am the host's first viewer! I am so proud!}

{The cat that loves meowing played 1 firework for the host}

Liu Ben also found it amusing. He looked at the special effects filling the screen and said with a smile, "I'm not bothered at all. You'd better be careful about Mr. You getting his salary deducted!"

{Yuyu V: [Poor][Poor]}

{Daodao: Died of laughter}

{6524177: I don't believe it, there's definitely something wrong with you two!}

{Xiaofantuan gave the anchor a small flower}

Liu Ben saw that it was getting late and his meal was almost cold, so he lowered his head and started eating seriously. This time, he did not forget to introduce the dishes and meals he ate while eating: "These dishes and meals I eat are all sold in our own store, and they are very delicious." Liu Ben also picked up some dishes and moved close to the camera to show them.

{Who promised you innocence? ...I wasn't focused, I couldn't see anything clearly.}

Liu Ben didn't notice. After he had displayed all the dishes, he began to eat seriously. If he didn't eat now, the food would get cold.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Aben, and I'm going to live stream my meal today." Liu Ben added this sentence that he should have said earlier but forgot.

{Past: Guess what? I figured it out.}

{Fuji Yomako: hhhh}

Avocado, unwilling to be lonely, popped up and tilted his head to look at Liu Ben's face. Although Liu Ben had been broadcasting live as a bull head for a while, Avocado was still full of surprise when he looked at Liu Ben's head.

Liu Ben touched the avocado and said to the audience: "This is my pet cow, named Avocado."

{Qingdou has me: So cute!}

{Mingyuan: Avocado looked at the anchor's horns with envy}

Liu Ben laughed: "The avocado is still very small, and it will have horns in the future."

Liu Ben's horns are very long and sharp, which is actually very dangerous, but the audience will just think they are fake and made of light and soft material.

Avocado looked left and right, but didn't see his favorite round dish, so he lowered his head again, and Liu Ben continued to eat his meal.

Liu Ben, the Bull Head, was a devious eater, and the previously noisy comment section gradually became unified, with comments like "I want to eat," "I'm craving it," and "I ate too much at lunch." Some people even said that the good food was a reward and showered Liu Ben with gifts.

Liu Ben’s live broadcast room was originally placed on the homepage. Its initial popularity was due to the magical recommendation of “President Boyfriend”. Later, it was changed, and many people were attracted by Liu Ben’s appearance.

There are many people wearing headgear during live broadcasts, but it is rare to see headgear that can blink, open its mouth to eat, and move its ears, making the whole thing look very vivid. It can even be said that it does not exist.

But Liu Ben was a little nervous. Just now, when no one was watching, he was quite relaxed, just eating his own food. But now there were more people around, and it was bustling with activity. Liu Ben remembered that the host was supposed to interact with the audience, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu Ben: "Well, I'm going to do this livestream to promote agricultural products in the village."

{Mumu LAN Mumu: So direct? [Shocked.jpg]}

{Cat Loves Spicy Noodles: What a straightforward anchor...}

Liu Ben finished all the remaining dishes in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "But the food I want to bring hasn't grown yet."

A large number of “Hahahahahaha” and “…………” flashed across the barrage area.

Liu Ben scratched his head sheepishly, his ears twitching. "I actually just wanted to practice today, but I didn't expect my friend to be so polite. Wow, the homepage! This location must be quite unusual, right?"

{Zeng Yanyan: Yes, so the anchor and the CEO must be extraordinary!}

Liu Ben looked at the comments and rubbed his nose. "Everyone says we're good friends, but you calling him CEO sounds so sweet, hahaha. It reminds me of a romance novel."

{Unhappy, happy. : Like the president's wife running off with the baby?}

{I only love black and I fell in love with Xia: No no no, it’s the president’s billionaire internet celebrity wife~}

{禾ノて：Today's plot is actually quite romantic(*ˇUˇ*)}

"We really are good friends!" Liu Ben waved his hands hurriedly. "He's so handsome and capable, it must take someone really great to be worthy of him!"

{4759961: Very handsome and capable... hehehe}

The more they talked, the stranger it became. Liu Ben forced an end to the topic: "Well, I've finished my lunch today. That's all. I'm going to log off now."

Liu Ben closed the live broadcast room and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that live broadcasting was much more complicated than farming. He had read the tutorial in vain and said things that he should and shouldn't have said.

Liu Ben wanted to find someone to complain about this, so he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to You Ying.

Liu Ben: "It's a bit awkward. I don't know what to say, hahaha~"

You Ying replied quickly.

You Ying: "It's normal to be nervous the first time."

You Ying: "The reason for the initial recommendation was due to an oversight on the technical side. They accidentally wrote it that way."

Liu Ben: "I understand, I understand. I don't care. Doesn't it affect you?"

You Ying: "I don't have any influence. I just want to be able to play my games every day."

Liu Ben: "Hahaha, that's good. But don't be too harsh on them. This is just a mistake made in a hurry. I've been an overworked person before, so I understand [Niuniu crying.jpg]"

You Ying: "As the saying goes: If a company wants to grow, it shouldn't pay salaries."

Liu Ben: "Hhhh, the company will go bankrupt like this!"

You Ying: "Okay, okay, since you said so, then I'll let them go. But where do you get all those weird emoticons..."

Liu Ben: "This was given to me by the designer I often look for. It's really useful."

It should be particularly magical, You Ying thought silently.

A big mistake happened today, and the level of social disastrousness was almost as high as the bondage play in the last game. When Liu Ben saw it, the gamer was stunned at the time. After he reacted, it was so embarrassing that he dug out a three-story country villa with a garden, parking lot and vegetable patch with his toes. He quickly called the person in charge of the company to make changes.

He was considered a wise man all his life, so why did such embarrassing things always happen in front of Liu Ben?

After You Yinghe finished talking to the person in charge, he kept looking at the live broadcast room nervously, and he couldn't even enjoy his meal. After a long time, Liu Ben finally noticed that there were many more people in the live broadcast room, and then saw the barrage, and finally learned about the reason for the recommendation. At that time, You Ying's heart was in his throat.

The result was good. Liu Ben didn't mind and was relatively normal when talking about him. You Ying felt relieved and continued to eat. When Liu Ben praised him for being so handsome and capable, You Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and his mood became happier.

You Ying was in a good mood, and because Liu Ben asked him to do so, he generously said to the person in charge lightly, "Let's forget about it. Be more careful next time." There was no sign of dissatisfaction in his words.

Person in charge: For such a big thing, Mr. You is not angry at all, and it seems that maybe... he is even a little bit happy?

Person in charge: There is something fishy about this, there is something fishy about this!

The person in charge was curious and dug out the replay of the live broadcast. When he saw Liu Ben's last words, he was shocked. This is a big trick!

After learning about such a big thing, the person in charge couldn't contain his excitement, but he didn't dare to tell anyone, which made him very worried. But before he could hold it in until his hair fell out, You Guoguo suddenly found him.

BOSS's sister: "Is there any gossip about my brother today?"

Youyu person in charge: "Hello, Miss You, hello, I don't understand what you mean? [Smile]"

Boss's sister: "Stop pretending. I already know about the big blunder that happened in your company this morning. It's spread everywhere."

Youyu person in charge: "I'm so sorry, this is really a mistake made by our technical department! [tears][tears]"

BOSS sister: [Red envelope]

Person in charge of Youyu: [Red envelope received]

Youyu person in charge: "[Video] This is the screen recording at that time"

Youyu official: "[Picture] This is the chat record between me and Mr. You later"

The person in charge of Youyu: "Hehehe, Miss You, I've been holding it in for a long time. I'm telling you, there must be something fishy going on. Hehehe, Mr. You, blah blah..."

You Guoguo got the melon and approached You Ying again with a sly look on her face: "You said everything was fine between you two, but it seems to me that you are all in trouble!"

You Ying pretended to be calm: "What's the matter? How come I don't know?"

You Guoguo slapped her thigh and said, "I know everything. Wow, don't even mention me, many people know it. Several girls even asked me if the Minotaur in the livestream room is your boyfriend."

"I was completely stunned. I was like, what? You're going to do something this big? You're actually livestreaming the Minotaur?"

You Ying: ...

You Ying angrily scolded: "Am I that kind of person?"

You Ying thought for a moment and then asked, "How many people know about this?"

You Guoguo: "Emmm, Mom will definitely know anyway."

Sure enough, in the evening, You Ying received a call from his mother.

You's mother asked cautiously, "Aying, I heard from your Aunt Wu that your boyfriend cheated on her with a cow?"

You Ying:?

————

Although Aben Agricultural Products Store has the business qualifications of a restaurant, whether it was when the store only had Wushuang rice or now when there are many more dishes, Aben Agricultural Products Store can only order a few ready-made dishes.

After all, Liu Ben still said that he doesn't make money by running a restaurant.

At the beginning, people didn't believe in the nourishing effects advertised by the store. Even if they bought the food, it was only because they were conquered by the delicious taste and were willing to spend a high price occasionally to satisfy their hunger. But as the store opened for a long time and customers kept eating there for a long time, gradually, even the most dull-witted people could realize that what was written on the labels was real and effective, and that after eating the food in the store, their health really got better and better.

You tell me about it, and I tell him that as a result, within three months of opening the store, sales doubled. In the end, Liu Ben had to carry thousands of kilograms of goods to the store every day. For this reason, he even adjusted the store layout and made more space to store goods, but he still kept a few tables for customers who ordered ready-made dishes in the store.

It is dinner time now, and there are still several tables of people eating in Aben’s agricultural products store.

"Oh my God, is the food here made of gold? A bowl of white rice costs 50? A plate of pickled radish costs 30?!" a boy exclaimed.

The people who were eating heard his voice and just glanced at him casually. It turned out to be two young men. Although this store has been open for three months, many people do not often come to this street. They will definitely be surprised to see such prices in such a small store for the first time. This situation often happens and is not surprising.

Wang Fengjing and Liu Shuanghu, who were on duty today, just smiled at him friendly. The Liu family was also shocked when they first learned about the pricing. But later, after eating these dishes every day and feeling their nourishment, and after being educated by their younger generations about the prices of supplements outside that claimed to have the same efficacy but did not have such good results, they felt that their own products were still very decent.

For example, a high-end black hair supplement out there costs several thousand, but a pound of devil kelp here at Liu Ben is only 100, and kelp is healthy, delicious, and effective quickly. Isn’t it obvious which one is more cost-effective?

The girl standing next to the boy looked like his girlfriend. She tugged at his skirt and whispered in embarrassment and annoyance, "What are you yelling about? This restaurant smells so good and there are so many people. The food must be really good! What a fuss!"

The boy scratched his head and said, "It smells good, but it's too expensive. My day's salary is not enough to buy a full meal here."

"We finally get out here, so why not have a good meal? Otherwise, we can split the bill!" The girl pulled his hand.

The boy thought about it and suggested, "Let's go to a nearby buffet hotpot restaurant. It's only 60 yuan per person, and they have meat and seafood, and you can eat as much as you want. Isn't it more cost-effective than this place that only serves vegetarian food?"

"Hotpot, hotpot! You only know how to eat hotpot. I told you yesterday that I can't eat spicy food recently, but you didn't take it seriously at all. I'm going to ignore you!" The girl waved her hands and ran out unhappily.

The boy was horrified and cried out in grievance: "I was just making a suggestion. If you don't like it, just say so. Why are you running away?"

He hurriedly prepared to chase after him, but was stopped when passing a table.

The guest at that table was a young man in a suit. He looked at the boy with sympathy, which made his scalp tingle. He advised him, "Women are all like this. They are unreasonable and easily angered. They don't earn their own money to eat what they want, but always expect men to pay for them. My dear brother, don't get too deep into this and hurt yourself too badly..."

The boy was a little confused by being pulled over. He was very anxious, but seeing that the man was also kind-hearted, he answered seriously: "She was just in a bad mood these past few days, so she lost her temper. She is usually very nice to me."

"This is a pua scumbag! You better be careful!!" The man was heartbroken.

Boy: "...Brother, you're overthinking it. Never mind. Thank you for your advice, but I have to chase her quickly." After saying that, the boy shook off his hand and chased after the girl.

"Another poor fellow man." The man sighed deeply, then picked up a pickled radish and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunch, then took a mouthful of rice and continued chewing.

Liu Ben was in the store today because of something. Seeing this, he asked, "Sir, have you ever been hurt by a relationship?"

The man glanced at Liu Ben and said to him seriously, "Women are all tigers, they want to eat people!"

Liu Ben: “…”

After finishing his meal, the man called to Wang Fengjing in the kitchen, "Boss, give me a plate of pickled zucchini and two roasted yams to take away, and also pack me two bottles of pickled radish."

"Got it." Wang Fengjing responded, quickly packed up what he wanted and handed it to the table.

The man quickly scanned the code to pay, and finally picked up his things and advised Liu Ben: "Don't find a wife, it's so lonely to live alone!"

After Wang Fengjing confirmed the payment, she said to the man, "If you have a wife, you don't have to worry about not being able to cook. Come to our restaurant every day to eat expensive food. When you come back every day, hot meals will be served on the table."

The man was stunned for a while, then suddenly covered his mouth with his back hand, made a "嘤" sound, and ran away in tears carrying the takeaway box.

Liu Ben: "...Grandma, what's going on with him?"

Wang Fengjing smiled, shook her head and returned to the kitchen counter.

Liu Shuanghu, however, was very interested in chatting with Liu Ben about this. He walked over and cleared the table while saying, "That guy's name is Yang Yue. He used to be quite wealthy, but he met a scumbag girl who cost him a lot of money. Later, he was found to be cheating on her. Not only did he lose a lot of his savings, but he was also deeply hurt. So, this is what he's become."

Liu Ben: "That's pretty bad. Give him a discount next time."

Liu Ben could only sympathize with this. Not all people would cheat people out of their money. It was just that Yang Yue was unlucky and happened to run into someone who was after his money.

If I didn't have money, I wouldn't have this kind of trouble. Liu Ben thought, but compared to not having money, it's better to have someone come after money, at least it means I have money.

Liu Ben felt that he was relatively wealthy, of course this was compared with most people. Compared with You Ying, You Guoguo and others, it was nothing.

Speaking of which, how could a guy like You Ying, who's rich, has free time, and is handsome, be single? Even if his sexual orientation is different from the average person, in this society, there should be many people who want to be his boyfriend, right?

Or is it because many people who want to be with You Ying are after his money, so it is more difficult for You Ying to find a true partner?

Well, You Ying is a very smart person. He can definitely tell at a glance who is after his money and will not be easily cheated. It’s not that he is stingy, but unlike Yang Yue, that unlucky guy who had his savings defrauded. If You Ying was stingy, he would not lend money to himself.

Wait, Liu Ben just remembered at this moment that he had borrowed 1 million from You Ying! Calculating it, it has been almost three to four months!

Liu Ben: So I'm the one who cheated You Ying out of his money! Oh no, I borrowed money, so I still have to pay it back! I'm not someone you'd scam.

Liu Ben's thoughts couldn't help but slip back to the oolong incident that happened during his live broadcast. What about President You's boyfriend? Actually, Liu Ben felt a little embarrassed when he first learned about it. He subconsciously knew that it must be a mistake, but he thought about how he and You Ying were close friends. Wow, it was suddenly announced that he became President You's boyfriend, which was quite embarrassing.

Liu Ben shook his head. It was all in the past. Never mind. Now that he had money, he went to WeChat and talked to You Ying about paying him back.

Liu Ben: "You Ying, please send me your bank account number and I'll pay you back."

Liu Ben: "Actually, I should have paid it back when I had the money, but at the time I needed to set up a factory, buy cattle, machines, etc., so I was worried it wouldn't be enough. But now I don't have much need for money, hehe."

You Ying on the other end remained noncommittal: "You don't have to rush to pay the money back. It's only been three months."

Liu Ben: "I want it, I want it. As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must return. It's not difficult to borrow again."

You Ying joked, "If you pay it back, will my special benefits disappear in the future?"

"How could that be!" Liu Ben laughed and sent a message: "You are my best friend!"

You Ying also smiled and replied, "That's right. By the way, the essential oil you gave me last time is very useful. I gave my mother two bottles. She said that when her nose feels uncomfortable, she smells it and her nose is filled with fragrance, and her respiratory tract is unblocked."

Liu Ben: “Right!”

"Boss Liu!"

There was a sound outside the store. Liu Ben looked up and saw that it was the person he was waiting for. So he told You Ying to remember to send the account number and put down his phone because he had something to do.

The people who came were none other than Boss Xue and another man with half-long hair. It was that man who called him Boss Liu, and he was Qu Xian.

Last time, Qu Xian told Liu Ben that he was going to talk to Boss Xue about purchasing goods, but Liu Ben felt that long-distance delivery was unrealistic and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Qu Xian actually came here in person from so far away. He didn't know how he talked to Boss Xue, but the two of them came here together.

Liu Ben looked at Boss Xue curiously.

Boss Xue understood what Liu Ben meant. He shook his head helplessly: "I don't want to recommend him either. There's nothing I can do..."

Liu Ben probed: "Because he gave too much?"

Boss Xue laughed. "He didn't give me anything, but my two generations are good friends. He asked me to do it himself, so of course I agreed."

Qu Xian pretended to sigh: "Alas, you say it so easily, but didn't I pester you for several days before you agreed?"

Boss Xue shrugged and said nothing. They were old friends, but business matters aside, there was still competition in terms of reputation. It was certainly right for a hundred schools of thought to contend, but wouldn't it be even better if their own company could earn the "best" rating? This was merely a selfish motive, though; Boss Xue and his elders remained calm.

Qu Xian tilted his head and said to Liu Ben, "Don't worry, boss. I've found a logistics company. They will definitely be able to deliver it to our restaurant quickly and efficiently."

Liu Ben saw that Boss Xue really agreed, and he himself had no objection. It was just a matter of spending a little more time and planting more vegetables. The space and time acceleration was powerful, and Liu Ben's half-bull orc had more physical strength, so farming was not too easy.

As for transportation, that is Qu Xian’s own business.

Liu Ben and Qu Xian reached an agreement on the deal. Boss Xue felt relieved when he saw that the discount Liu Ben gave to Qu Xian was not as big as his own, even though it was just a small amount of money. In addition, he also told Liu Ben about his need to buy more goods, and Liu Ben agreed as well.

It doesn't matter how much he plants. If Liu Ben takes the time to plant for a whole day, he can supply all their customers for several days. There is no need to be busy every day.

In fact, Qu Xian didn't spend the past few days trying to convince Boss Xue. He also had a few meals at Xingyue Tower and tried the dishes that Liu Rui praised so highly. He was impressed almost the moment he smelled the dishes, and made up his mind after taking the first bite to bring these dishes back to his own restaurant.

So Qu Xian quickly signed a contract with Liu Ben, paid a large sum of money in advance, and hurried back to arrange the affairs of his own store.

A few days later.

"A loving family" group.

Liu Rui: "Brother, let me tell you, the vegetables you sell in your shop for 100 yuan per pound cost thousands in Boss Qu's restaurant!"

Liu Sen: "It's really easy to make money."

Wang Fengjing: "Anyway, the money earned is from rich people."

Liu Lei: "When I graduate, I'll open a restaurant and buy food from you, cook it, and sell it. I won't make much, just 200 yuan for one dish, haha!"

Liu Shuangying: "You also need to have that skill. The chefs in big hotels all have secret recipes. That's not a taste that ordinary people can make."

Liu Shuanghu: "Indeed, the dish they made... slurp!"

Liu Yibiao: [Language] You're the only one who's greedy. Is the food your mom or wife cooks not delicious?!

Liu Shuanghu: "Of course it's the most delicious!"

Liu Ben: "@Liu Lei, come back and help me with the work, isn't it easier than running a restaurant?"

Liu Sen: “Haha!”

Liu Ben sat backwards in his chair, his hands on the back, browsing his phone and laughing as he did so. He had just finished lunch and had nothing to do, so he was not in a hurry to go farming.

Avocado had been fed before lunch and should have been full, but he just stared at the kittens enjoying skim milk and licked his tongue furiously, looking very greedy. Skim milk is made from leftover milk that has not been sold. Liu Ben praised Zhao Weiguang to the hilt. How could he know everything?

The "fat" left after making skimmed milk is butter. Any dish cooked with butter smells delicious, but Liu Yibiao doesn't like it very much because he thinks it doesn't smell as good as lard.

Lard is indeed more fragrant, but eating too much lard is unhealthy. It is okay to eat it occasionally. The older generation had a hard life in the past. The little money they had could only be used to exchange some fat for lard during the Chinese New Year, and then save it for a year. This is normal.

"Your grandfather never suffered much, but he just loved eating lard, and he's loved it since he was young," Wang Fengjing said with a smile. "I think we should buy some more fatty pork around the New Year this year and make some lard for your grandfather."

"Yes, you can buy some." Liu Ben nodded. After all, eating more nourishing vegetables in the space on a regular basis can't make up for the unhealthy eating of lard, right?

"But we don't raise anything at home now, while other families can slaughter pigs and chickens during the Chinese New Year." Wang Fengjing said regretfully.

Liu Ben advised: "It's better not to raise them. Pigs smell terrible."

"We could raise some chickens," Liu Yibiao said. "We could build a pen outside our warehouse, but they shouldn't roam freely, so they don't dirty the ground."

"That's fine," Liu Ben agreed, but he still had to ask, "Can we just enclose any land we want?"

"Yes! Why not? The area within at least 5 meters of every household is counted as part of each household's homestead. It just depends on whether you use it or not." Liu Yibiao said.

Wang Fengjing nodded: "That's great, I've raised chickens before."

A few people discussed and decided to find someone to build a chicken coop tomorrow, put the chickens in the pen during the day, and let them go back to the coop to sleep at night.

After the discussion, Liu Ben returned to the room and went to the space as usual.

Liu Ben had stockpiled a lot of food and vegetables in the system warehouse some time ago. He was not in a hurry to farm today. He came in to study the osmanthus pine.

Why?

Liu Ben stood under the tree and looked up. The tree has become taller and stronger now, at least 50 meters high. The top of the tree is lush with golden flowers and leaves. It is not only beautiful, but also beautifies the environment, and the surroundings are filled with a refreshing fragrance.

There is a patch of osmanthus trees planted here, all golden in color, adding a touch of bright color to the boundless space with no scenery.

Liu Ben took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good and is so beautiful." Anyway, he didn't have anything else to say nicely.

For the sake of this patch of osmanthus pine, Liu Ben would come in every day even if he was not farming, just to admire these flowers.

[You can also go out and rent land specifically for planting trees, meow~] The system big cat was eating its lunch. Liu Ben did not go out today, and prepared a big white steamed bun for the system big cat that he bought at the market. It was steamed into a big round bowl, as big as a bowl, and filled with the vegetables that Liu Ben had just reserved for it from lunch. The big cat, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, rarely tasted this, and it was a bit fresh.

"It seems that we are not allowed to rent land for planting trees." Liu Ben vaguely remembered that there is a difference between cultivated land and forest land.

Speaking of woodlands, Liu Ben thought of the mountains surrounding the village. These low mountains cleverly surround the entire village, making it difficult for outsiders to climb over, but never blocking the sunlight at any time. It is precisely because of this that people with the surname Liu have been able to farm and grow their own crops in this good place for generations without being disturbed by outside disturbances. However, with the advancement of modernization, the villagers have also begun to contact the outside world and realize that there are many things in the world that are not in the village and can only be obtained by going out.

Many roads have been opened in the village, and the surrounding mountains have been damaged. Although they have not all become barren mountains, there are many bare areas. The big trees have been cut down, and many of the seemingly green areas are just shrubs or bamboos. Generally speaking, it is not very beautiful.

So can we rent these mountains?

We have rented the entire mountain and planted it with osmanthus pine trees. Then the village will be filled with golden scenery. Moreover, the air in the village surrounded by osmanthus pine trees will be filled with fragrance every day. Every morning, it will be a good start as soon as you go out.

Liu Ben was eager to try and wanted to transplant these trees outside immediately.

Wait a minute, Liu Ben stretched out his hand and then stopped. The branches that were cut were only a few dozen centimeters long. How long would it take for them to grow into beautiful big trees if they were left outside?

Liu Ben wanted to ask the system directly, but he felt that this bad cat wouldn't tell him easily, so he asked the system in a roundabout way: "Big cat, if I stick these branches outside, will they grow this big? Wouldn't that block out the sun and affect the sunlight?"

[You're overthinking it! It takes years for a sapling to grow into a full-sized tree outside. Even if it does, the osmanthus trees outside won't grow as well as those in this space. 30 meters is the maximum!] The system cat lay in the cat bed, holding its large steamed bun with vegetables, chewing it with relish, making a smacking sound.

Good job, I asked two questions from Big Cat at once. I am worthy of you, Liu Ben was secretly proud of himself.

Since this was the case, Liu Ben made up his mind. He would grow these seedlings in the space, and then take them outside to plant when they grew to 20 meters high. At this height, they could grow beautiful and lush flowers and leaves, but would not be so high as to block the sunlight.

The first thing to do now is to climb up the tree and collect suitable branches.

Cuttings should be cut close to the main trunk, and strong branches with vigorous growth should be selected. Thin branches with diseases and insect pests are basically useless. Of course, the branches in the space are all growing well, and each one is very suitable. Liu Ben only needs to choose a straight and beautiful branch, cut it down, and then soak it in rooting water.

First, Liu Ben had to climb up.

The 50-meter-high tree is not fake, and the osmanthus pine in the space has a bare trunk for 35 meters without any branches to step on, making it a bit difficult to climb.

But who in the village hadn't climbed a tree as a child? You don't necessarily need to step on a branch; you just hold onto the tree and jump up, then wrap your legs around the trunk, hug your arms, and press your chest together, doing pull-ups. Liu Ben wasn't from the village, but he was an orc. There weren't many roads near his home, and many places were rocky and impassable, so walking on the ground was a necessity. So, climbing trees was a piece of cake for him.

Liu Ben clapped his hands ritualistically, then jumped onto the tree, hugged it with ease, and then - slid down.

Liu Ben: ? ?

Liu Ben jumped back and stood up with a confused look on his face, thus avoiding falling on his butt.

Liu Ben frowned, he reached out and touched the tree trunk.

Liu Ben: ...

This tree trunk is unusual
