Chapter 175: Raising the Farm Raft

The night before the breeding house was upgraded to a breeding farm, Zheng Feifei came to see her.

Since the mother and daughter moved into the raft, Zheng Feifei rarely came to play with Shu Fu or chat. She was extremely busy and diligent every day. Not only did she have to inspect each breeding house several times, she would also help Wu Shaoshan, Yue Dong, Long Sheng and others clean up from time to time.

Yue Dong grew up in the countryside, so he actually has some experience in raising animals. Zheng Feifei and her mother have always lived in big cities, so they really know nothing about raising animals. Even though they have a breeding house that is very advanced in every aspect, they are always afraid of making mistakes. So when Yue Dong occasionally goes to check on a cub, they will always follow and learn.

Later, there was a library on the raft, and Zheng Feifei immediately went to apply for a library card. She found a lot of professional books on aquaculture and studied hard when she was not busy every day.

Wu Shaoshan also used her pair of "glasses" props for this purpose. She memorized some important breeding knowledge in her mind at night, and then put it into practice when she went to work in the breeding house during the day. When she put it into practice more often and truly mastered the knowledge, she would go back and use the "glasses" props again, replacing them with new knowledge, and then continue to go to the breeding house.

As the functional raft that attracts the most attention and expectations from all raft residents, both the owner and the employees in the breeding house are extremely serious about it.

Even though the raft encountered several disasters and the animals were frightened several times during this period, there were still zero casualties.

After several harvests and a certain amount of accumulated sales, the breeding house was finally upgraded. When Zheng Feifei saw the "upgradeable" prompt, she was so happy that she could hardly believe her eyes, after all, there were still pigs and cows that had not grown up yet!

So, she ran to Shu Fu as soon as possible and shared the good news with her.

Upgrading the raft in the breeding house also takes one night. Shu Fu set the alarm clock and got up early the next day. He was the first to arrive at the breeding house.

The upgrade has been completed, and the overall area of ​​the raft has increased by one circle, which is almost the same as the previous botanical garden raft.

The raft deck area has a fence on the side facing the water, the front deck has some benches, landscape lights and other decorative facilities, and the rear deck has several barbecue areas with landscape lights, tables, chairs and grills. As long as there are charcoal fire and skewers, you can have an open-air barbecue here at any time.

Probably because most of the deck space is given to the outdoor area, the beehive house as a whole looks only slightly larger than before, but there is an extra floor.

The structure of the second floor is the same as the original one, still consisting of six small hexagons and a large hexagon in the center, and more changes occur indoors.

First, the two small hexagonal rooms where Zheng Feifei and her daughter lived were moved from the first floor to the second floor, and an external staircase with handrails was added, so there was also a viewing balcony on the outward side of the two small houses.

The balcony is a large outdoor balcony connecting two small hexagonal rooms, with a solid fence, a wooden round table and chairs. The window wall of the original bedroom facing outward has also become a floor-to-ceiling glass sliding door. When they return home, they can go directly from the stairs to the main door of the living room, or bypass the living room and enter through the floor-to-ceiling sliding door of the bedroom.

The interior furnishings are richer, and the lighting and view are better. Zheng's mother especially likes the balcony, and plans to go to the plantation to find Yao Ruoyun to buy some grown flowers, transplant them into pots, and then place them on the balcony.

Although it still rains outside every day, because there is a protective cover, even such an open viewing balcony can be arranged according to one's preferences. Anyway, Shu Fu will give a notice in advance every time the protective cover is closed, and then the delicate flowers and plants can be moved in.

The chickens, ducks, and rabbits were moved to the second floor along with the living space, and currently occupy three small hexagons respectively. The size was increased automatically during the upgrade. Although the space is about the same size as before, it seems a lot more spacious because of the separate chickens and ducks.

The last remaining small hexagon on the second floor is now empty. According to the structure inside and the prompts on the breeding machines, it can be learned that this breeding house is also for poultry, and should be a goose breeding area, but there are no goose chicks on the raft now.

Shu Fu still couldn't help wondering, if she used the universal gift package in the upgraded "Farm", would she be able to spawn geese and other animal cubs at the same time?

The middle of the second floor is the same as the original first floor, also a large hexagonal compressed space. It is very large inside and has a high arc-shaped glass ceiling, through which you can see the sky outside, which is very beautiful.

The interior is divided into two areas by a glass wall. One area is the breeding space for edible birds such as pigeons and quails, and the other half is the bee breeding area.

The structure of the first floor is the same as before, with six small hexagonal houses plus a large hexagonal compressed space in the middle. The floor height has increased by nearly half. The sheep and pigs occupy two breeding houses respectively. The breeding space is larger, and different breeds of sheep and pigs can be raised separately.

In the large space in the middle that simulates a lawn, there are real waterways that simulate streams and a large fish pond. In addition to different breeds of cattle, freshwater fish, shrimps and crabs can also be raised.

In addition, the space here has been increased, and the ground has been made into a slightly undulating slope, making it look more like a pasture. When the sheep mature, those that are suitable for producing milk and wool can also be raised in this pasture.

To be honest, seeing the newly added breeding areas, Shu Fu felt a little itchy and wanted to use the red first prize card on the "breeding farm" again. But he felt that it was a bit uneconomical, after all, more than half of the breeding areas now have various animals growing well. As for the lack of species, should we try to introduce them from Fengshang Plateau?

Although land is scarce nowadays, she believes that there must be an official breeding base somewhere on the Fengshang Plateau, and perhaps the vacancies in these areas can be filled through transactions in the future.

Or, when the breeding farm is upgraded again one day and there are more blank breeding areas, she can use the red first prize card at that time to get more value.

There were two small hexagonal rooms left on the first floor. One of them was filled with various machines classified into different categories. They could handle the animals that needed to be slaughtered and processed more professionally and meticulously than before. There were also some simpler processing operations. She looked around and found that this place was similar to a small processing plant.

For example, the pork processing department has machines for making sausages and salami; the mutton department has also expanded from simple chopping into pieces to French-cut lamb chops, lamb skewers, lamb tripe, lamb liver, lamb trotters, lamb heart and other offal processing.

Shu Fu even saw machines for processing down, fur, and leather. Although they were all preliminary, they represented a beginning. Perhaps, when the farm was upgraded again next time, fully finished processing machines would appear.

The door to the last hexagonal house is right in front of the raft, and it's a specialty store complete with a time-stasis storage cabinet warehouse like the grow house.

When the farm harvests animals again in the future, they can be cut, processed and packaged in the processing house next door, and then put into the warehouse behind the specialty store for storage.

The store does not restrict raft residents from entering, and the owner can set his own business hours. He can do wholesale or retail during business hours. When Zheng Feifei is not around, he only needs to take out a small amount of goods and put them in the store's refrigerator or freezer and let the employees sell them.

As a result, the farm has four more positions to be recruited. Two are added to the breeding area at the back, one is to start the machines and select the processing type in the processing room, and the other is to look after the business in the specialty store.

Zheng Feifei said that she planned to transfer Wu Shaoshan to the specialty store first. This position was less stressful and less tiring. After all, she had her own bookstore to take care of.

As for the other four employees, they could only post a recruitment notice and wait for the time being. During the transition period, Zheng Feifei and her mother would take over.

**

A few days after the breeding house was upgraded to a breeding farm, Zheng Feifei and Chen Fa's raft trailer had been in use for 100 days and they could choose to add a function. They both chose "garbage disposal".

Compared to the milk tea shop, the breeding farm obviously needs the "garbage disposal" function more, because with this function, the garbage that needed to be collected manually every day is no longer necessary. Zheng Feifei no longer needs to store a large amount of tightly tied garbage in the backpack compartment, and then go ashore to fill it with garbage every time a small land appears in the water.

For a while, Longsheng and Yuedong's workload was reduced a lot, so even if there are not enough employees now, they can still cope with it.

As a milk tea shop towed at the same time as the breeding farm, Chen Fa probably also wanted to see what his Lighthouse Milk Tea Shop would look like after the upgrade, and finally decided to officially open for business.

At present, the raw materials for milk tea have not been followed up. Many raw materials have to be harvested and processed by plantations, so she also sells various fruit teas. The most popular one is the iced lemon tea mixed with small lime, kumquat and large lemon, as well as dragon fruit milkshake, passion fruit mint leaf tea...

Anyway, the fruit production in the plantation is increasing day by day, and all kinds of new varieties have been harvested one by one, so raw materials are not a problem.

The business hours were quickly set, from 12 noon to 8 pm every day, five days a week, two days off. The working hours were actually quite comfortable, and Chen Fa didn't think about hiring anyone at first.

However, Xu Jiechu, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, finally waited for this day and insisted on applying for the job, and was even willing to reduce his salary slightly.

Chen Fa asked him to make every kind of milk tea and fruit tea on the sales list, and if he could do it, he would hire him.

Xu Jiechu had been learning martial arts recently, so he didn't know how to make milk tea or fruit tea. So he hit a wall again, but he didn't give up. After the milk tea shop officially opened, he followed Chen Fa behind the water bar to learn and help in various ways.

Of course it was good to have free labor without any charges, so Chen Fa did not drive him away. Xu Jiechu began his apprenticeship career in this way. In addition to learning how to make milk tea or fruit tea, he also took on all the work of washing cups and plates and cleaning the milk tea shop.

After the milk tea shop officially opened, business has been good. However, the raft is currently short of disposable milk tea and fruit tea cups, so after the opening, Chen Fa used the shop's own stainless steel cups, paired with soup spoons, which is quite unique.

When my friends have time, they will drink beverages in the shop while looking at the scenery. Sometimes they will bring their own thermos to pack up the drinks. Every time I go there, I will see Xu Jiechu wearing the milk tea shop apron and working honestly inside.

To be honest, every time we see Xu Jiechu like this, we are a little uncomfortable, especially the people in Chen Fa's team before, they all laughed and said that Xu Jiechu was a big step closer to his ultimate goal of "marrying into the wife's family".

Chen Fa would laugh every time he heard it. After all, it is not easy for a person to work wholeheartedly for such an ultimate goal.

As a result, within two days of this statement, Xu Tingfeng, who originally didn't like milk tea or fruit tea, began to show up every day and visit the milk tea shop. At first, everyone thought he was here to supervise his brother, but later they found that his eyes seemed to always fall on Chen Fa...

When similar interesting and scattered news reached Shu Fu, she just smiled.

Although it is the end of the world now, life on this raft will only get better and better. Everyone is still young and the future has infinite possibilities. She thinks it is better not to suppress herself too much or set too many limits for herself.

The day before Han Lan was about to leave the raft, Shu Fu once again encountered ten consecutive draws.

The small original house was once again replaced by a luxurious three-story villa. The two new team members who had settled on the raft were seeing this type of drifting island house for the first time. They stood in the back passage in amazement and looked at it for a long time before they came to their senses.

It was the first time for them to see a supernatural being who could make the raft so big and the house on the raft so beautiful. Although they knew before that the owner of this raft island was extremely powerful, they were still shocked to see it with their own eyes.

They have all retired and have no close family members around them. For this reason, when Han Lan asked them about it, they immediately agreed and decided to live on this raft island for a long time. Another reason was that they wanted to help Liu Shuang manage her raft.

At first, they thought that there was a shortage of people here, and although the two of them were small, they could help as much as they could. But these days, living on the raft, the various magical facilities and technologies on the raft made them amazed, and now seeing the changes in Shu Fu's raft, they suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Wenrou was not there at the time, and fortunately, Han Lan thought of them, otherwise they would not have had a chance to come to such a good place.

The two looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts from their eyes. They immediately restrained their emotions, turned around with serious expressions, and headed towards the raft at the back. They had to work harder than before to live up to this opportunity to live on the raft. After all, now they both planned to live here for the rest of their lives...

It is already November, and because Han Lan may come ashore at any time, the raft has been drifting in the coastal waters in the northern part of the Northland Plateau.

The latitude is high and winter comes early. Shu Fu occasionally sees rafts of supernatural beings or boats of the army passing by, and the people on them have already put on heavy cotton clothes. The inside of the protective cover is not affected by the outside temperature, and always maintains the temperature of late spring and early autumn, refreshing and pleasant, neither too cold nor too hot.

The lucky draw will not be held until midnight. After Shu Fu changed the house type during the day, she was not idle. She changed into a swimsuit and swam in the swimming pool on the second-floor balcony. When she was tired, she wrapped herself in a big towel and leaned on a lounge chair to watch a TV series. When she was hungry, she took some meals prepared by the automatic meal machine in the snack bar from the space.

Spiced duck feet, fried squid tentacles, salmon sushi...

After eating, drinking and playing, Shu Fu took a shower in a happy mood, washed herself clean and applied perfume, then began her monthly outburst of good luck.

First turn, red third prize: vegetable and fruit seed gift pack (random) × 1.

Second turn, red third prize: grain seed gift pack (random) × 1.

The third turn, the third red prize: daily necessities gift pack × 10.

Shu Fu: ...

The prize is a good one, but I’ve already drawn it three times. Is it competing with the red third prize today?

Fortunately, starting from the fourth turn, good luck came.
