Chapter 225: Chapter 224: The Path to Wealth for the Farm, Go to the Back Mountain to See the Leopard!

The handmade yogurt business was doing very well.

The yogurt tasted especially good, with a pleasantly sour and sweet flavor that left one feeling refreshed after eating.

There were many delicacies at the marketplace, mostly ready-to-eat meats and vegetables, along with some braised meats and popcorn.

The products sold here were all in "large quantities."

It was rare to see yogurt.

So when Wang Wu began his sales pitch, a good number of people came to buy.

Xu Yang also came over to take a look.

Seeing the booming business, he too couldn’t help but smile.

He had discovered another business opportunity.

Selling handmade yogurt during the market rush.

His farm now had two dairy cows, and they produced a considerable amount of milk every day.

Some of the milk left over could be turned into yogurt and sold at the market.

"A cow costs over ten thousand, selling yogurt a few more times could gradually cover the costs," he said.

"This is another good business."

Xu Yang calculated in his mind.

As a farmer, he definitely had to consider the revenue.

At this moment, quite a few people were gathered around the small stall buying yogurt.

Sold by the box, the business was indeed good.

A few tourists visiting the area were even exclaiming,

"Their prices are so cheap, and there are so many delicious things!"

"You can buy them for just a few bucks. It’s really great!"

"This handmade yogurt is so delicious, it tastes really good!"

The atmosphere on-site was lively.

Xu Yang watched at the farm’s stall for a while, and then, having nothing else to do, he wandered off elsewhere.

There were plenty of good things here, and the prices were cheap, so he also had to do some shopping.

The people in the town had their own way of shopping.

If there were good things to buy, they bought them.

Xu Yang only bought fresh vegetables, fruits, or popcorn, and he absolutely didn’t touch braised meats or fried skewers.

Many vendors sold braised meat that wasn’t fresh, and no one knew how many days it had been sitting out.

The same was true for fried skewers, which had who knows what added to them.

So it was better to buy fresh things.

He wandered around the market, relaxed and happy.

After buying a round of items, he saw that there were hardly any people left at the dining cart where Wang Wu and Zheng Xiangqian were packing up.

Xu Yang, holding several plastic bags of goods, asked,

"Is everything sold out already?"

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Wang Wu replied with a smile,

"Isn’t it, farmer? Our yogurt sold very quickly."

"We never had a pause in business."

"I just checked the payment account, we’ve sold over 1600 yuan worth."

"Some people, after finishing their first box, came back for a second one."

"Yogurt is a guilt-free food, consuming a bit more is fine."

Xu Yang looked at the empty yogurt fridge and clicked his tongue, "That’s pretty good."

"From now on, during the market rush, we can also come sell yogurt."

"Making a bit of profit is still profit."

Having made money today, Xu Yang was in a good mood, and he bought a lot of things.

He also asked Wang Wu to buy some drinks and snacks for drinking, planning to have a staff gathering at the farm in the evening, to strengthen team bonding.

The farm’s team-building wasn’t very formal; it was just everyone getting together to drink and boast.

Xu Yang didn’t really like drinking, but he had to do it occasionally.

Whether it was for business discussions or fostering relationships, alcohol played an important role.

There was a reason for its significance.

Upon returning to the farm, when the staff heard there was a gathering in the afternoon, they too were excited and prepared early.

They went to the store and bought a lot of fresh chicken feet, duck heads, pig’s feet, etc., along with home-brewed rice wine and corn baijiu.

This place might not have much else, but there was plenty of food.

And all of it was homemade, without many additives.

Aunt Zhang even specifically prepared two extra meat dishes.

The atmosphere at the staff gathering was very good, with everyone drinking and bragging.

Drinking a lot, feeling tipsy, the staff also shared their thoughts and flattered extravagantly.

"Farmer, it has to be you, really impressive!"

"Around me, across all of Yanbian, I’ve never seen any farm develop so quickly!"

"We even have a million-level tractor, the villages nearby all say you’re amazing!"

Xu Yang just listened, then waved his hand modestly in response.

Xu Yang would say some things like keep up the good work, the farm won’t let you down.

The mood was lively.

The cats and dogs smelled the food and waited outside.

Xu Yang took a moment to feed them some food, and the two dogs ate especially happily.

During this process, Xu Yang noticed that Ma Wen could really hold his liquor.

He drank a lot of white spirit, no troubles at all.

His hand while picking up food didn’t shake at all, he looked very spirited.

His speech didn’t have that floaty feeling.

Not to say, for the current Xu Yang, this was actually useful.

In Northeast, business discussions involved drinking.

Like Xu Yang’s blueberry business, further discussions with the scenic area would inevitably number a few meals with drinks.

Especially when discussing prices.

At that time, the role of drinking was evident.

Xu Yang’s own tolerance was alright, but only just alright.

Facing formidable drinkers, he also needed a sidekick to help with drinking.

Ma Wen was just right for the job.

"Ma Wen, you really can hold your alcohol."

Xu Yang felt a bit floaty as he looked at Ma Wen and sighed.

"Farmer, I drink often, I also enjoy a little drink by myself on regular days,"

Ma Wen said, smiling.

"That will be useful; I really need someone to help me with drinking when we’re discussing business deals in the future."

Xu Yang then said.

"Farmer, just arrange it, I have no issues."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Ma Wen laughed.

Looking at it this way, the farm really had a plethora of talented people.

As the farmer, one must indeed be good at identifying the strengths of employees.

After having had enough drink and food, everyone went to sleep.

The items on the table were left to be cleaned up tomorrow.

The night passed just like that.

Gathering together for a meal with the farm employees also felt quite good.

The next day Xu Yang woke up, and it was already past 10 AM.

Because he had slept a lot, the effects of the alcohol were mostly gone; he just felt a bit of a headache and a slightly cold stomach.

He needed to take it slow.

After getting out of bed, Xu Yang washed up and brewed himself a pot of tea on the smart tea station.

Then he drank some hot tea, ate some biscuits, and started to feel a bit better.

He went out to check on the farm.

The employees had all woken up, and the leftovers from yesterday’s meal had been cleaned up.

The livestock that needed to be fed had been fed, and the crops in the greenhouse had been taken care of as well.

After making his rounds, Xu Yang, having nothing else to do, planned to head to the back mountain after lunch for a stroll.

"I’m going to tour the back mountain today. I’ll be back in the afternoon. Call me if anything comes up,"

Xu Yang told his employees.

"Farmer, no problem,"

Everybody responded.

Today, Xu Yang planned to check on the leopards and also look around for any wild vegetables or mushrooms.

Fresh wild vegetables taste great, whether stir-fried or served in salads.

He had become accustomed to mountain rushing, and his tastes had evolved as such.

His backpack was packed with two bottles of milk and some snacks.

If he ran into roe deer or little Sika deer, he could feed them as well.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang set off.

He made his way up the mountain.

Speaking of which, Xu Yang quite missed the little leopards, having not seen them for several days.

He wondered how the two leopards were getting along now.

Leopards have quite a unique way of breeding.

They breed over concentrated periods.

During the breeding season, the female leopards actively seek out the males.

Then, they begin frequent breeding activities, each lasting a very short time, sometimes only three seconds.

But the frequency is high, and they can mate hundreds of times within a few days.

Once the female leopard is pregnant, she enters the gestation period and hides away to prepare for her delivery.

Xu Yang guessed that Xiao Hua and Luna were probably engaged in that activity right now.

He wondered if Luna would run away afterward.

After all, that was the natural instincts of a leopard.

Xu Yang strolled through the mountain.

The environment in the mountain was very nice.

Now, there were no more traces of snow; green grass was starting to sprout, and many unknown little flowers were growing in the grass.

The scenery was beautiful.

Xu Yang was live streaming, showing everyone the scene in the mountain.

When he climbed to a peak area, Xu Yang noticed a downward cave next to a tree.

He just glanced at it and guessed what kind of animal it was.

"Look here, everyone, there’s a cave here,"

"This is a badger’s cave."

"Changbai Mountain has badgers, and if you see one cave, there must be several more nearby, all connected,"

"These guys live in these caves, usually a group of at least seven or eight, maybe even a dozen or more,"

Xu Yang shared some stories about the animals in the mountains with everyone.

The only badger they recognized was the honey badger, also known as Brother Ping.

But the badgers Xu Yang was talking about were dog badgers.

Dog badgers lived in families, right under the ground, where they also had family identities, forming a small community.

Xu Yang stood beside the cave and looked around, but saw no activity.

These fellows usually didn’t come out, especially when they heard noises outside, it was even less likely for them to appear.

So, after checking, Xu Yang continued forward to find the leopards.

"Now that the environment in the mountain has improved, it’s actually a good time to look for mountain goods,"

"But today, I didn’t bring a bamboo basket, and there’s not enough time, so I couldn’t collect much,"

"In a couple of days, I’ll head into the mountain again,"

"This season is just the start of the good stuff,"

"I’m craving fresh mushrooms,"

"Then I’ll make a pot of chicken soup, do a plate of fragrant fried mushroom slices,"

"That would feel too comfortable,"

As Xu Yang walked on, he continued to share.

His online friends were getting a bit envious.

[Old Xu, stop talking, you’re making me hungry!]

[Really, does it taste good? I don’t believe it unless you feed me!]

[This life is so leisurely, I’m envious!]

Everyone responded.

The atmosphere remained relaxed and pleasant.

People liked watching the scenery of the mountains in Xu Yang’s live stream, which also brought a tranquil feeling to their hearts.
