Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 374 - 372: The Farm’s New Development, Two Little Foxes Suddenly Appear!

Chapter 374: Chapter 372: The Farm’s New Development, Two Little Foxes Suddenly Appear!

This trip to Guizhou for Mountain Rushing had come to an end, and the rewards had been plentiful.

Although he only traveled within a few of the mountain ranges, it was a very small part.

But on one hand, he unlocked Dave’s shop through the "Rare Task," and on the other, he made the acquaintance of a very nice girl.

Through chatting with Su Yutong, Xu Yang had came to roughly understand her family background.

The people from Taiwan were well-off, she spent four years studying at Fudan in Shanghai, having just graduated this year, and returned with her best friend to fulfill her duties.

When he heard she’d graduated from Fudan, Xu Yang was quite surprised.

"You studied at Fudan? Are your studies that impressive?"

Xu Yang chatted with her leisurely.

"It’s okay, I did alright with my studies, but my family did spend some money."

"Back home, Shanghai is super popular, and I really like it there, so I decided to come over."

Su Yutong replied.

Hearing this, Xu Yang felt a bit of pressure in his heart.

After all, it was not easy to pursue girls from such families.

Later, they also talked about the topic of dating.

Xu Yang did have a girlfriend in college, and she was both beautiful and kind, but their futures did not align, so they broke up amicably after graduation and wished each other well.

But Su Yutong had never dated before, partly because the guys that pursued her gave off a very restless vibe, and on the other hand, she just wasn’t interested.

It was the complete opposite with her best friend, Xu Xuanxuan, who was purely romantic-minded and had been hurt by jerk guys a few times.

Hearing about Su Yutong’s experiences, Xu Yang’s mental assessment of her was two words: outstanding.

Truly outrageously outstanding.

They also talked about their plans for the future.

Su Yutong said she hadn’t decided yet, she might return to Taiwan or might stay in some city, but she would definitely not take a job that was extremely stressful and tiresome.

She wanted more freedom, and then to find a city she liked and settle down peacefully.

Currently, she leaned towards either the Capital City or Shanghai.

After all, it was relatively common in Taiwan for people to marry into the mainland, and many celebrities from there settled in the mainland as well.

With her family’s financial condition, she certainly didn’t lack money, so naturally, the men she matched with wouldn’t be bad off either.

Currently, Su Yutong and Xu Xuanxuan were on their graduation trip, purely sightseeing, and because they weren’t lacking money, the travel was very comfortable.

Xu Yang admired this.

Being able to travel to different places and accumulate life experiences right after graduation.

It all came down to having money.

After meeting them, Xu Yang said his goodbyes and then returned to manage his own farm.

He had his own life.

The farm was currently still in the development stage, far from being a top-tier large farm.

He had to get the farm’s development up and running, then cultivate a good system so that he could be a hands-off manager later on.

Of course, he would still chat with Su Yutong from time to time.

Xu Yang clearly understood that this period was critical.

Generally, when getting along with the opposite sex, initial acquaintance with mutual interest was the most exciting—if the relationship could advance quickly, then it would stabilize.

If it remained stagnant, the excitement would soon wane, then fade to tranquility with no further contact.

Having had his fair share of experiences since he had dated before, Xu Yang had taken an interest in this girl and naturally intended to pursue her.

But he couldn’t be too hasty, nor could he just accompany them—he had to play it slightly coy.

On the farm.

It was the season when spring was in full bloom.

The animals had all become more active.

Little Black had been frequently absent, at times even running off with Maquan.

Tabby cat Sang Biao even more so, had fallen into familiar rhythms, every morning visible sprawled out on his back, fast asleep in a basket.

It couldn’t be helped—come evening, a group of little female cats would call out, and Sang Biao was truly kept busy.

Xu Yang looked at the two bells that Sang Biao exposed on the outside and shook his head.

He should remove the rascal’s bells, maybe it would prevent him from being so excessively indulgent.

Just like the Husky, it was a eunuch, so it was calm.

As for Little Wolf, he was quite settled too, after all, Xu Yang hadn’t yet heard the stories about it and Little She-Wolf.

Xu Yang’s attention returned to developing the farm.

There was much to do.

New greenhouses had been constructed, and every day he had to enter the greenhouses to transport soil and fertilizers, loosen the earth, and then plant the cultivated blueberry seedlings.

Besides blueberries, Xu Yang had also planted some yellow peaches.

Which meant that his greenhouses primarily cultivated three types of fruit now:

Blueberries, cherries, and yellow peaches.

Cherries would take another two years to mature, at which time, their income would surge.

Yellow peaches, on the other hand, would yield annually.

Based on Xu Yang’s estimates, with twenty greenhouses, each one would bring in at least 300 thousand in income, totaling six million a year.

And that was just the minimum.

Mainly because his blueberries were so popular.

True to the name, Blueberry King.

Even priced a bit higher, he never lacked buyers.

Additionally, there were potatoes, grass, and such—though small businesses, they were stable.

Considering the addition of ten more greenhouses.

Thus, Xu Yang planned to start hiring, and this time he recruited three employees.

One as a finance officer, and two were responsible for maintenance of the greenhouses, all university graduates whose characters had been thoroughly vetted.

According to what they said, there really weren’t any good jobs suitable for young people in the city now, with few companies far less appealing than Xu Yang’s farm.

Moreover, enterprises under the big anchors generally had exceptionally good benefits and treatment.

These three people were all carefully selected by Xu Yang and added a bit of vitality to the farm.

Fortunately, there were enough staff dormitories.

As soon as the greenhouses were constructed, Xu Yang spent more money on building a cement road down the middle, facilitating future access with a sightseeing car to handle situations.

His farm was now vast and exceptionally well-developed.

It had a notable reputation locally, and people would often come over to take a look from a distance.

That afternoon, the farm was routinely planting grass.

While the employees were busy, Xu Yang watched two Little Foxes pensively.

Red Foxes gave birth every year between March and April, each time delivering five to six cubs.

Calculating the time, it should be about now.

The farm’s foxes always returned in spring, stayed for the summer to play, and then vanished in autumn.

They would run off into the forest when they grew bigger.

But the two Little Foxes that suddenly appeared were very, very small.

As soon as they saw Xu Yang, their little tails wagged as they approached to act cute.

"Where did you two come from?"

Xu Yang was surprised.

These were clearly Little Foxes that had just been born not long ago.

While he was curious, he saw another Little Fox dart out of the bushes nearby, along with two adult Red Foxes.

They were the two foxes left from the previous generation, a male and a female.

They had chosen to stay on the farm and had made their den here.

And now, they had produced the third generation.

"There are new Little Foxes born that I didn’t even know about, otherwise I could have fed you something."

Xu Yang couldn’t help but smile when he saw the foxes.

His farm very much welcomed foxes.

Not only were these foxes adorable, but they also caught mice, which was beneficial for the farm.

This was Xu Yang’s first encounter with the Little Foxes, but they were not at all afraid of him.

As soon as they saw Xu Yang, they approached and wagged their tails to act cute.

The adult foxes behind them showed a look of satisfaction, as if to say,

"Right, children, just like that, if you win him over, you’ll be set for life!"

Xu Yang crouched down and touched the Little Fox in front of him.

The little guy was tiny, barely bigger than a palm.

It felt very nice to touch, all soft and fluffy.

This was when foxes were at their cutest, at the peak of their adorableness.

Xu Yang just couldn’t resist; he took out his smartphone and recorded a video of this scene.

There was new life again on the farm.

This was indeed worth documenting.

Afterward, he immediately went to get some milk, ready to feed the Little Foxes.

It was only when he started feeding them that he confirmed that a total of four Little Foxes had been born this year.

Two were very brave and unafraid of him, while the other two were initially more timid but slowly began to whimper and act cute.

The farm’s development was going well, foxes succeeding generation after generation.

It looked like there would be foxes to pet this year.

The employees worked in the Pasture, glancing over from afar.

Seeing Xu Yang touching the foxes, they chatted and laughed:

"Farm Director really has a different treatment, where did all these foxes come from, so many?"

"These animals also know who our farm belongs to."

"From now on, we must be mindful when we see foxes, they must be fed if necessary."

"For the animals on our farm, apart from mice, what isn’t worth a feed?"

"True, we have foolish roe deer and Sika Deer, our farm’s ecology is really different."

Everyone chatted while working, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

All the grass seeds were sown, and when the grass grew very tall, many animals liked to play in the Pasture.

Such as black horses, Sika Deer, dogs, and cats.

Seeing them play happily, Xu Yang was also very happy, so grass had to be planted every year.

Potatoes were the same, after all, many orders were signed.

Another crop planned for this year was rice.

The rice wasn’t grown on the farm, but by channeling water from the top of a mountain to create a small river, which resulted in a water pond.

Then the rice was planted there.

Mainly, Xu Yang wanted to raise Rice Flower Fish.

Raised on rice flowers and grains from a young age, their meat quality would be delicious later on.

Anyway, they were still farming, growing rice while raising fish, killing two birds with one stone.

The rice seeds were exchanged from Dave’s store, and the variety was very good.

When harvested, the quality would undoubtedly be great.

So, there was much to do this spring on the farm.

Manpower was to be invested everywhere, and everyone had plenty of work to do each day, making life quite fulfilling.

In farming, as the saying goes, the whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring; these tasks were all essential.

However, Xu Yang, as the boss, was still quite at leisure.
