Chapter 282: Chapter 281: It’s Over Once His Dad Sees You!

The farm was bustling with activity.

The blueberries in the greenhouse had ripened, the peanuts in the field were ready, and other fruits also showed signs of maturity.

Xu Yang suddenly found himself a landowner!

With so much produce, it was impossible to eat it all.

He had to quickly contact merchants to sell the surplus.

Luckily, Xu Yang’s channels were already established, ensuring stable development for his farm.

Other farms without such channels could only rely on buyers and markets, often getting squeezed in the process.

The middlemen made all the money.

Xu Yang’s self-run channels targeted the high-end market, naturally earning him more.

As soon as word got out that Xu Yang’s blueberries were ripe, many people came to discuss business with him.

They came from all over.

It was only after making inquiries that Xu Yang realized his blueberries had been highly praised last year, and everyone knew they were the best through word of mouth.

Moreover, Xu Yang’s blueberries were better than any other variety on the market.

The high-end market was small, and many people knew each other, so news spread quickly.

Some farms even started growing Xu Yang’s strain of blueberries intending to cultivate the exact same fruit.

But they found they couldn’t replicate it.

No matter how they planted, theirs were never as good as Xu Yang’s.

Having such unique goods, it was no surprise Xu Yang’s business was booming.

Many merchants came, even from the capital, and they all wanted a particularly large quantity.

The capital had plenty of wealthy individuals, and the market prospects for these blueberries were broad.

Over the next few days, Xu Yang was busy dealing with business matters.

Having a booming business was problematic too, and he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

Sometimes, when he came home at night, Xu Yang would exclaim,

"I planted too few blueberries, everyone wants them."

"They really are gone, not a single one is left."

After the contracts were signed, some even wanted to pay a premium, offering a price 20% higher than Xu Yang’s original asking price.

A 20% premium, from a business standpoint, was quite substantial.

But Xu Yang was known for his reputation and credibility, and his channels were all high-end markets; he definitely wouldn’t break a contract.

So, he politely declined and sold at the agreed price.

This year’s blueberries were consistently excellent.

The farm kept few, and Xu Yang even had to explain to his employees,

"There’s been too much demand for blueberries this year, we really couldn’t help it, they’re all sold out."

"Each person got a box; let your friends and relatives know."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the employees were touched.

"Boss, you don’t need to say this; we didn’t even plan on taking any this year."

"We’re all happy if the farm does well."

"We might as well sell our box too; I hear the blueberries are fetching a high price, let’s earn a bit more."

Xu Yang waved his hand, "A few boxes are no problem."

So, for the next period, the farm’s employees began picking blueberries.

Xu Yang took a quick trip to the mountains to exchange two treasure hunting tasks and reset the count on his Treasure Compass.

The rewards were quite ordinary, consisting of special items like pianos and laptops.

Xu Yang didn’t even know what to do with the awarded piano.

Li Shan was the only one among them who played musical instruments, and at most, he played the erhu.

The piano had to be sold to a merchant.

Soon, Xu Yang’s blueberries appeared in the market.

There were still some who doubted the quality of Xu Yang’s blueberries and specially tried them out.

Upon tasting, they found them to be extraordinary.

The berries were large, round, and plump.

The flesh was smooth and tender, and the juice was sweet.

Eating them felt refreshing and invigorating.

No other blueberries could match their quality.

The excellent quality was palpable, clearly displayed.

"People’s blueberries are just superior; no wonder they’re so sensational; what variety is this? I’ve never seen it before!"

"I heard he has good relations with Agricultural University; could it have been developed by them?"

"Definitely not, there’s no Agricultural University trademark; if it were theirs, it would definitely have a trademark, like the grass they produce."

"This guy is exceptionally talented; in just two years, see how popular he’s become; even his farming skills are impressive."

Those merchants discussed amongst themselves.

Soon, guests who had eaten the blueberries sought connections to inquire about the source, hoping to buy more.

Upon hearing that only Xu Yang had them, and they were sold out, everyone offered higher prices wanting to buy more.

Thus, Xu Yang received several more calls.

He could only explain, "They’re gone, truly gone; there will be another batch in winter, let’s talk then."

The blueberry business was very hot.

However, like these high-end blueberries, only a small circle was aware of them.

To put it realistically, excellent products were simply out of reach for ordinary people, snapped up before they even hit the market.

Like some tailored milk powders, they were produced by the ranches exclusively for the wealthy.

And there were other high-quality vegetables and fruits, etc.

For Xu Yang, there was nothing he could do; he could only grow so many blueberries in a few greenhouses, unable to supply too many people.

Things eventually settled down.

Xu Yang planned to take a couple of days off and then head deep into the mountains.

He bought a new SIM card, limited to his employees’ knowledge, instructing them to call him directly if anything came up.

That afternoon,

Xu Yang spent time in the field playing with Little Leopard.

Xiao Hua and Luna had brought their children over again.

Little Fox, seeing Little Leopard, rushed over to frolic with him.

Four dark stripes battled against two leopard prints.

They were familiar with each other by now and played joyfully, very happily.

But like people, animals change as they grow up.

Leopards still remain leopards when grown-up, and foxes stay foxes, just like the young masters and Runtu.

But within Xu Yang’s farm, they are all treated equally.

Take Xiao Hua for example, who never harms any farm animals since entering Xu Yang’s farm.

This guy is also clever, understanding the situation of the farm well.

The little leopards love Xu Yang’s farm and even consider it their territory.

They roam around every now and then.

Whenever Xu Yang is not careful, the two rascals have run off to the door of the goose shed again.

The geese, upon seeing the little leopards, immediately started squawking loudly.

A few geese even flew out, intending to beat up the little leopards.

Xu Yang hurried over to stop them.

These geese are pretty formidable to be able to fly out of the goose shed.

After all, the little leopards are just little leopards and temporarily can’t defeat the geese, scaring the little ones into running back immediately.

The scene was quite amusing.

"You guys, go, go back,"

Xu Yang shouted at the geese.

"If their dad sees you like this, it’s all over."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the geese grumbled but obediently flew back.

The farm animals are quite interesting.

By the time it was three or four o’clock, Xiao Hua came looking for the little leopards again.

They treat the farm like a kindergarten or a daycare.

Luna was waiting outside.

At this moment, Luna had lost her previous worries.

On the contrary, she became composed and relaxed.

If she had known it would be this easy to take care of the cubs, she would have come here earlier.

Now it’s great, go out to play for a day, and come back to pick up the little one.

After returning, the little leopard didn’t have the energy to make more trouble and went to sleep early.

Luna felt particularly satisfied, realizing that following Xiao Hua wasn’t a wrong choice.

Xiao Hua might look a bit silly and not so fierce, but after all, she was a "second-generation farmhand" with plenty of resources.

Xu Yang interacted with Xiao Hua for a while, then watched as the two spotted leopards and two black panthers went off into the distance.

After finishing up the farm work, Xu Yang planned to venture into the deep mountains tomorrow.

This time he brought tents and enough supplies.

He was ready to explore deep into the mountains.

Changbai Mountain is vast; one could walk for a month and not cover every bit of it.

Xu Yang had settled on a route, planning to visit Little Mountain God first, then circle around Tiger and Leopard Forest Park, heading east all the way.

That part is close to the North Korean border.

Xu Yang wouldn’t cross over; he would just move around the edge of the national boundary.

He didn’t want to go over and stir up any disputes, as that would be troublesome.

A long-awaited live broadcast from deep within the mountains.

Xu Yang posted a video and made a preview, and his followers immediately looked forward to it.

Xu Yang was now a top influencer in the outdoor section, but he rarely livestreamed.

Other top influencers streamed every day.

For example, in the treasure appraisal circle, the top influencer Tingquan livestreamed daily.

Xu Yang, being a top influencer in outdoor exploration, sometimes only streamed once every ten days.

He really didn’t care for the tremendous traffic.

In fact, Xu Yang was no longer short of money and lived a particularly joyous daily life, leading the life he desired; whether to livestream was purely based on his mood.

In this regard, he was quite carefree.

The next day, Ma Wen drove Xu Yang into the mountains.

Xu Yang walked further inside.

He had contacted Wang Jianghai, the patrol guard from the Tiger and Leopard Protection Station, beforehand to inquire about the tiger situation.

The two tigers had already returned to their territory and hadn’t come over again.

However, Wang Jianghai told Xu Yang that they had detected Little Mountain God entering the Tiger and Leopard Forest Park, apparently looking for a tigress.

And they had already detected Little Mountain God moving together with a tigress.

If nothing unexpected happened, Little Mountain God was also going to have offspring.

"Do you mean that there will be little tigers in the future?"

"Will the little tigers follow the male tiger?"

Xu Yang asked eagerly.

Having played with the little leopards for too long, having little tigers in a few months would be too wonderful.

Little tigers are also adorable.

Wang Jianghai responded, "After the little tigers are born, they will stay with the male tiger for a while, but as they grow a bit, the tigress will take the little tigers away."

"Because the tigress worries the male might kill the cubs."

"So if there really are offspring, they will live together."

Hearing this news, Xu Yang replied with a smile,

"Alright, got it."

"I’ll see how things go; I’m pretty good at taking care of the cubs of wild animals."

"I’ll see if I can help take care of them."

Hearing this, Wang Jianghai wasn’t sure what to say at the moment.

Xu Yang ventured deeper into the mountains, and as Black Kite sensed his approach, it came down early to greet him.

It just circled above Xu Yang’s head, coming down every now and then for an interaction.

The live broadcast was also underway.

The viewers, seeing this bird of prey, were extremely envious of Xu Yang’s life in the mountains.

Xu Yang looked into the distance and said,

"Today we’ll visit an unnamed mountain area deep inside, where there are no inhabitants. Just over that pass is North Korea."

"We’ll stay within the national boundaries."

"Let’s see if we can find something good."

"This season, it’s time to harvest ginseng."

"The villagers enter the mountains every day, so I should also look for some good mountain produce."

Having said that, he continued forward, weaving through the dense forest.
