Chapter 35 Farm Planning
Josh took Big Mike to visit the brand new farm cabin first.
"That's right. Most of the farm cottages have been abandoned for a long time. If they are repaired properly, they will be comfortable to live in. The engineering team you found is quite good and the houses are very nice." Big Mike praised.
"Yes, I am satisfied too. I just finished it this morning. Mr. Big Mike, you are my first customer." Josh teased.
"Haha, it's my honor." Big Mike's mustache was crooked due to his laughter, and he quietly straightened it.
Josh pretended not to see it, smiled secretly, turned around and made a glass of honey lemon water for Mr. Big Mike.
"Mr. Big Mike, how about trying it." Josh handed it to him with a smile, looking forward to his reaction.
"Hmm~ It tastes fresh, sweet and sour and refreshing. Ice cubes and lemon go so well together. Why didn't I realize it before?" Big Mike said in an amazed tone.
"There's also honey, real honey. Josh, you really know how to enjoy it." Big Mike squinted his eyes and savored it slowly, then took another sip.
"Two nests of bees were found on the farm. These are their works. I'm not extravagant enough to buy these things to eat." Qiao Xi explained. If she didn't have them, she would definitely not be willing to spend the money.
"You have little bee monsters on your farm?" Big Mike immediately grasped the point and was very surprised.
"Yes, it's in the orchard. We can go and take a look." Mr. Big Mike is trustworthy, and Josh wants to get some advice from him, so he will tell him everything he knows.
"Let's go, then. I can't wait to go and see it." Big Mike finished the lemonade in one gulp, savored it deeply, and walked downstairs, motioning to Josh to lead the way.
"The bitter sugar fruit forest and the giant lemon fruit forest, the production of these two magic fruits is large but the price is average. They are not very popular in the free market. We can find a way to change the crops, or do some rough processing before selling them." Walking hurriedly to the beehive, Big Mike did not forget to make a few comments.
"Wow, this is really a gift from God, a miracle of nature. It takes such skillful hands to build such a beautiful beehive. Oh, my God, this, this is so beautiful." Big Mike looked at the huge beehive and the complementary white velvet bumblebees and slender-legged wasps. For a moment, he could not express the deepest shock in his heart in words.
"Josh, I want to take back what I said to you before. With these little guys, you won't have to worry about losing your foothold in the market. Have you already sold attribute honey products?" Big Mike turned to Josh and said seriously.
Josh nodded and was about to speak when he heard Big Mike's voice as if he had come to his senses: "That honey lemonade, you didn't just give it to me to taste, did you?"
"Yes, Mr. Big Mike, a few days ago, I tried to sell honey lemonade in the free market, and it was really popular, and I also had a group of customers who liked it very much.
But it's too tiring. Although the profit per cup is high, I can only make so much per day. Even if I work harder, I can't make much more. What I earn in a busy day is not as much as selling honey directly." Qiao Xi was a little distressed and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for his advice.
Big Mike frowned and asked Josh, "What do you think Shimmer Farm is?"
Josh was stunned. What else could it be? It was a farm. She didn't understand what Big Mike meant.
"Farm, but there is no livestock or servants on your land. You are not running a small business, you are running a farm, and you and your house elves seem to live in the yard. Without this awareness, Josh, don't you think the farm is too empty?"
Mr. Big Mike took a few steps forward, heading in the direction of the farmland, and Josh hurried to catch up.
"Ms. Josh, a farm cannot be sustained by the efforts of one person alone. Do you know about Warcraft labor?" asked Mr. Big Mike.
"Yes, I brought my Brown-headed Raven Vulture back from the Elf Professional Office. There are many wild monsters there who are willing to sign contracts with humans."
"Yes." He nodded. "Common mop dogs and rag cats are found in many households. They have replaced human labor to a certain extent. Some luxury stores even spend a huge amount of money to hire Gollum puppets to improve the store's grade and attract more high-end customers. You can definitely hire some Warcraft laborers to help you with farm work."
"You don't have to worry about the farm or your privacy being leaked. Compared to talkative humans, Warcraft workers who have food and drink will obediently work for you until they are exhausted.
I think you can consider it. "Mr. Big Mike turned his head and said to Josh seriously.
Josh had too many things in her head and she needed to sort them out, but she knew that what Big Mike said made sense, so she nodded: "I'll think about it."
"Wait, Miss Josh, you're not just planting these two crops, are you?" Big Mike looked at the farmland in front of him, very dissatisfied.
"Uh, yes." Josh was speechless, but she wanted to explain, "It's because I can't handle it alone, so." Mr. Big Mike interrupted her with his hand.
"Ms. Qiao Xi, why is a farm called a farm? If you only need to grow crops on such a small piece of land, there is no need to allocate such a large area to a farm. You need to plan the land utilization rate reasonably, calculate the growth cycle of each crop, plant more crops, and raise more livestock."
Mr. Big Mike talked a lot, and Josh felt that he hadn't even slept in the new house yet, and a bigger challenge was coming. His mind was filled with the parts of the farm that needed to be optimized.
Seeing Josh's eyes almost popping out, Big Mike chuckled and said helplessly: "Miss Josh, I'm sorry, my occupational disease has come on. You can keep my opinions that are useful, but don't let them affect your thinking if they are useless. Just do everything according to your ideas." He couldn't stop talking and expressed too many personal opinions, which were too messy for Josh, the new farmer.
"Thank you, Mr. Big Mike. There are indeed many problems on the farm. If you hadn't advised me, I might still be complacent in my ivory tower, thinking that I was doing a good job. You have awakened me, and I will keep working hard." Josh felt a little ashamed and felt that she had let down Mr. Big Mike's expectations when he first encouraged her to go south.
"No, no, no, Miss Qiao Xi, you can't feel sorry for yourself. I can say all this because I think the Glimmer Farm is great and has a bright future. I hope it will get better. Again, I have confidence in you. You are a strong child and you can do it."
There were tears in Josh's eyes. Big Mike's advice was a precious treasure to her.
