In the early morning, the crowing of roosters was penetrating, and gray smoke rose slowly from the roof of a house. The first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, heralding another sunny day.

When it was still light in the sky, Xu Qingzhi went out for a morning run. After running, he strolled around like an old man before coming back.

At this time, the villagers who came to help the house had finished breakfast and went up the mountain to work.

Under the persimmon tree, Jiang Zhan was the only one holding a laptop.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead with the towel hanging around her neck and asked, "Zhanzhan, have you had breakfast?"

Jiang Zhan shook his head.

Xu Qingzhi couldn't understand why the breakfast in this house was already ready. If it was Jiang Xiao, he would have gone to drink two big bowls of porridge without anyone asking him to come.

She said, "Go eat. Skipping breakfast can cause stomachache. Are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Zhan nodded, "I just happen to have some follow-up ideas about farm operations that I would like to discuss with you."

The extremely workaholic attitude made Xu Qingzhi's body dazed slightly.

She immediately stretched out a hand, palm facing forward, temporarily refusing to communicate, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. So... let's eat first."

Jiang Zhan had a lot to say, but he held it back and replied, "Okay, let's have breakfast first."

The temperature has been high recently, so Xu Qingzhi had no appetite. He scooped a bowl of porridge and some vegetables and started eating.

Jiang Zhan still picked up some.

The two of them finished their breakfast quietly. Jiang Zhan wiped his mouth and said, "Qingzhi, that idea about running a farm..."

"Wait a minute, I'm all sweaty, let me go wash up first." Xu Qingzhi stretched out his hand to stop him and went upstairs to take a shower.

She took a comfortable bath and walked around the spiritual space. The flower seeds she had scattered casually before bloomed wildly in the spiritual space, and a faint floral fragrance could be smelled in the space.

This flower smells quite nice.

She thought that she had bought a lot of flower seeds but had not used them up. She would take them out and sprinkle some along her vegetable garden. After all, seeing flowers while working would make people feel better.

From a distance, the crow saw its owner and immediately flew over to complain: "Caw~" Recently, there are always chickens in the nest incubating eggs, disturbing the crow's mission of collecting eggs.

The chickens and ducks in this spiritual space do not grow synchronously with those outside. Xu Qingzhi does not even need to feed them with spiritual spring water deliberately. This natural spiritual environment allows the chickens and ducks to grow faster and better.

She had specially bought uncastrated roosters before, so that she would have fertilized eggs and could hatch chicks, gradually improving the quality of the chicken breed generation by generation.

It is normal for hens to sit on brood at this time.

However, she did not plan to let hens hatch the eggs. First, hens do not distinguish whether eggs can hatch chicks or not, and whether they are eggs they laid themselves. Most chickens lay eggs in a few fixed places. Hens incubating eggs will grab a place to lay eggs and gather all the eggs under their buttocks. Second, hens hatching eggs is not suitable for large-scale hatching.

Xu Qingzhi used a secret to keep a suitable temperature for hatching. By ensuring the temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions, the chicks could hatch.

As for separating the eggs that can hatch chicks, she looked at the two little ones and said, "Pick out the eggs that can hatch and put them aside."

The big cat responded with a lazy "meow".

The crows circled around Xu Qingzhi, showing their enthusiasm for work: "Quack~" Master, I'll put all those hens sitting on their nests in a water prison, so that they can continue to lay eggs! Putting hens sitting on their nests in a water prison is one of the traditional ways in the countryside to stop them from sitting on their nests.

The crow raised its head proudly, "Of course it was my mother who taught me this."

Its mother crow was once the smartest crow in the Poseidon Forest.

Xu Qingzhi touched its little head with his index finger, smiled slightly, and praised: "You are awesome, then I will leave the task of helping me watch over the hatching of the chicks to you, the clever crow."

The crow didn't realize there was anything wrong and responded with a cheerful "cackle".

Xu Qingzhi took a walk around, looked at the vibrant farm in the spiritual space, and left with satisfaction.

When she went downstairs, she saw Jiang Zhan waiting for her with a laptop in his arms, his face full of the expression "Are you not busy now?"

Xu Qingzhi sighed, took a cup of honey water, lay on the recliner under the persimmon tree, and motioned him: "Go ahead."

Jiang Zhan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said politely, "Qingzhi, this rice will be put on pre-sale again today. We will pre-sell it once a week, one thousand kilograms at a time."

Xu Qingzhi nodded, "Well, just control the total weight not to exceed 40,000 kilograms."

The more than 40 acres of land he contracted, plus the land at home, totals more than 50 acres. Xu Qingzhi does not plan to contract more land.

The current normal yield of rice per mu is 1,200 catties. There may be an increase in yield due to the blessing of spiritual energy, but it is impossible to estimate and will not be taken into account for the time being. One thousand kilograms of rice will produce about 700 kilograms of rice, so selling 40,000 kilograms is enough. Some of the rest will be eaten by the family, and the rest will be used as food for poultry in the back mountain.

Jiang Zhan wrote it down on his computer and added, "I went to inspect the vegetable fields today. Chinese cabbage grows the fastest and has the shortest growth cycle. It will be ready for sale soon. We can plant more of these vegetables with a short growth cycle."

Xu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, I'll think about it later when I grow vegetables."

"As for eggs, I observed the chats in the group and found that everyone has a high desire to consume eggs. Auntie said that there are a lot of eggs at home and they can't finish them. I was thinking about setting some thresholds when selling these eggs, such as giving priority to customers who place orders for pre-sale rice. Because this group of customers can place orders for our pre-sale rice when 'Fuwang Farm' is selling spot rice, which means they are loyal customers of the farm." Jiang Zhan said.

Xu Qingzhi nodded.

Jiang Zhan continued to babble, "By the way, the current live streaming platform has very good traffic, which is a very good way to promote. The other party has accumulated a lot of fans on TikTok."

Xu Qingzhi nodded.

Jiang Zhan probed: "So, Qingzhi, do you want to open a live broadcast account as well?"

Xu Qingzhi thought about it seriously and refused: "No, it's too troublesome."

She is often too lazy to even check her mobile phone, so how can she have the time to create a live broadcast account?

Jiang Zhan advised: "In fact, you don't have to operate a live broadcast platform after joining it. After all, there are only a few hundred people in the vegetable selling group, but there are still a large number of Fuwang Farm customers online. There are still people selling vegetables online claiming to be Fuwang Farm's homologous vegetables. If those people believe it and buy it, if anything goes wrong, the black water of this rumor may be splashed on Fuwang Farm."

Xu Qingzhi certainly knew this. She had experienced cyber-bullying and online violence, and was well aware of the power of marketing accounts, public opinion, and rumors.

But she still didn't want to do it.

Asking someone who is too lazy to even turn on his phone to open a live broadcast account is really too tiring to think about, so Xu Qingzhi perfunctorily said: "Let's talk about it later."
