Chapter 183 Treasure Hunting Compass Upgrade

After returning to the farm from Tianchi, Xu Yang took out the reward for the treasure hunt mission.

Diao brand laundry detergent.

It's a bit strange to give him this reward.

Down jackets and the like cannot be washed in a washing machine.

However, the system said that this laundry detergent is much stronger than ordinary laundry detergent, so let's use it first.

Anyway, when I go into the mountains on weekdays, there are always a lot of clothes that need to be washed.

There's nothing to do on the farm.

Recently Xu Yang bought some cherry seeds and plans to plant them in the greenhouse when the weather gets warmer.

Recently, half of the greenhouse where corn was previously grown has been left empty, and nothing else is grown there. The main reason is that the weather is too cold, and if we can only control the temperature every day, the electricity bill will be a considerable expense.

Just don’t plant it for now.

The next day, Xu Yang was in his study, holding a pile of bills and starting to check the accounts.

It is now the end of November. On the last two days of every month, Xu Yang would settle the farm's accounts.

Generally speaking, large farms and companies have their own dedicated financial accounts, and the boss only needs to look at the final report.

These accounts are basically signed and agreed by the boss, and there are also basic accounts such as electricity, water, and food expenses.

But Xu Yang's farm is not very big, and hiring another financial officer would be very expensive.

Anyway, there aren’t many accounts, so you can sort them out yourself.

"My goodness, the electricity bill is quite high this month."

"When you adjust the temperature to a fixed level, the electricity bill is obviously much higher at night."

Xu Yang looked at the bill and calculated.

If you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive food, oil, salt and firewood are.

Only when you start your own farm, you realize that consumption is everywhere.

Water, electricity, food, wages, and some infrastructure losses.

Xu Yang was quite busy, pressing buttons on the calculator and writing numbers on paper.

Two dogs and the sika deer were waiting for him outside the yard.

The leopard was resting in its den.

"In general, it is still profitable. The main reason is that I made a lot of money from corn, and I also got my money back from strawberries and dragon fruit."

Xu Yang was calculating the profit situation.

Currently, the output of a greenhouse earns about 100,000 yuan, with corn making the bulk of the profit.

"My ideal situation is to make a profit of 10 yuan a year from a greenhouse."

"Now this greenhouse can earn more than 10 yuan, all thanks to my good luck in producing two heads of corn. Otherwise, it would only be around or yuan."

"But this is only half a year. Once the strawberries and dragon fruit have grown again, we can still make some money."

"It's OK. The farm is operating normally."

Xu Yang looked at the numbers he calculated and thought to himself.

He is a very smart man and always thinks things through.

Starting a farm is not that easy.

"Next are blueberries and sugar apples. Blueberries are easy to negotiate, but sugar apples are a bit more troublesome."

"It's also my fault for being too reckless. I planted too much at once."

Xu Yang tapped the notebook twice with the back end of his pen, looking a little serious.

During this period, Xu Yang was also getting to know the market.

There are many buyers of blueberries.

Even if Xu Yang himself can't find a way, he can still make money by selling to buyers.

But sugar apples are really hard to find, and buyers are afraid that they won’t be able to sell them.

Being a niche has its disadvantages.

The best way is to sell it to supermarkets, but supermarkets cannot handle such large quantities of goods.

A lot of sugar apples were harvested from the two greenhouses, and it took several trips with large trucks.

Sugar-apple is a tropical fruit, and it costs a lot of money to grow it in a greenhouse, so we must find a way to sell it.

“At that time, I saw that the sugar apples in the supermarket were quite expensive, so I thought about growing them to make more money.”

“This is also a lesson.”

"Fortunately, there are still one or two months left."

"I can find a channel."

"There must be someone who wants it. It would be fine if it's a little further south."

"Even if we send it to Kyoto, it's more diversified there and should sell well."

Xu Yang closed the book.

Overall the farm has been doing well this month.

The next focus is on blueberries in one greenhouse and sugar apples in two greenhouses.

This is an important step for him.

This step determines how much he will invest in the farm after the spring.

Xu Yang's plan is to take it step by step, walk steadily, and then take big strides forward.

If you feel unsteady on your feet, take small steps.

He came out of the room and the dog and the sika deer were waiting for him in the yard.

The leopard also came out of the house.

Now it was time to take them for a walk, and Xu Yang had forgotten about it.

"Go, go, go out for a walk."

"I went to Tianchi yesterday and didn't accompany you guys."

"Let's move more today."

"Wait for me to release Jingzhe as well."

Xu Yang called out to the little ones to go out.

Walking the dog, sika deer and leopard every day.

Xu Yang went to the stable and released the horses.

He didn't need a saddle, he just rode on Jingzhe's back. Since there was no need for intense running, it was okay to ride naked. If the horse needed to run vigorously, a saddle would be needed, otherwise his butt would definitely not be able to bear it.

The dark horse Jingzhe is particularly obedient.

It saw other little guys and greeted them.

Then, Xu Yang rode his horse out of the living area and circled outside the farm.

The little ones followed him.

Xu Yang's speed wasn't very fast, he was just taking a daily walk.

He strolled ahead and the animals followed him around.

The first street in Changbai Mountain is no joke.

Most people don't have the leisure time like him.

Xu Yang rode a horse and inspected the land outside the farm.

This area is a field specially rented out. Not far away, a large field and farm are rented by the Agricultural University. Not far ahead, there is also a vacant farm.

Since there are fewer people here now, there is more and more vacant land.

The people in Xuyang village mainly grow wood ear mushrooms, and they grow them in the forest, so there is no need to rent additional land.

So this area has remained deserted.

"It's a pity to leave it uncultivated. We can plant more crops."

“I’ll rent it next year.”

"Let's rent another hundred acres and include this one in it."

Xu Yang began to plan his own land.

They are very concerned about land. Even when going on blind dates, they will ask the other party how many acres of land they own. After all, land represents money.

Of course, what we are asking about here is family-inherited land, and rented land is not included.

But renting land is very cheap, and it doesn’t cost much for Xu Yang to rent two hundred acres.

"I'll rent you a bigger place in the future so you can raise more animals."

"There are only a few of you now, but that's still too few."

"On a typical farm, there are at least four or five dogs."

Xu Yang looked at Xiao Hei and Yuan Bao, as well as Bambi the sika deer and Xiao Hua the leopard, and said something to them.

The place is big, but it still feels a bit deserted.

“We should be able to expand it next year.”

"Then I can earn a little more money by growing something from the land to feed a whole farm of people and animals."

"It's still more comfortable to have fields!"

Xu Yang wandered around.

This is a large piece of wasteland that has not been reclaimed yet, which looks a bit regrettable.

There is no other way. It is not easy to make money by farming.

The Great Northern Wilderness produces so much grain that it is enough to feed an entire country.

And from another perspective, the low price of agricultural products is a good thing for the people.

The purpose of farming is to make money on this basis.

Xu Yang was strolling outside. After finishing his work, the employees gathered together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"Our farm owner is really cool. Among so many farm owners in the city, he seems to be the most comfortable."

"It's true. I have a classmate who runs a farm. He looked at least 10 years older after running it for a few years. Our farm owner is happy every day and does a good job."

"That's because our owner is capable and smart. Some people are like that, they can do anything well."

The three of them were all comfortable working on the farm.

The prices and wages here are not high, so it's pretty good to have such a job.

Aunt Zhang comes to the farm to cook almost every day, riding a bicycle.

Her cooking skills are very good and everyone loves her food.

Aunt Zhang was also happy to come. On the one hand, she could solve the problem of eating here, and on the other hand, Xu Yang would give Li Shan more money.

Since there was nothing to do in the village anyway, I went to the farm to help out.

Xu Yang's farm has more of the feeling of a cooperative from the 1990s, and is more humane than a business.

Xu Yang has also always paid great attention to the atmosphere of the farm.

His idea is to strictly screen the employees entering the farm, and everything will be fine if the employees are good.

The day passed leisurely and casually.

In the evening, Xu Yang checked his popularity.

Before we knew it, the popularity value had exceeded one million.

Choose between participating in the special lottery or upgrading the treasure hunting compass, Xu Yang chose the latter.

The lottery only happens once, but the treasure hunting compass is useful every day.

[Host chooses to upgrade the treasure hunting compass. The treasure hunting compass is being upgraded.]

[Unlock new functions: The search radius of treasure hunting missions is expanded, the maximum number of treasure hunting times can be accumulated is 8 times, and the depth of the treasure hunting function from the surface is upgraded to 5 meters. ]

[Use 4 treasure hunts to redeem one treasure hunt mission. 】

[Popularity required for next upgrade: 200 million]

A series of prompt sounds rang in Xu Yang's mind.

Hearing the prompt tone, Xu Yang also laughed.

Very good, not only has the storage limit been increased, but the number of treasure hunts required for redemption tasks has also been reduced.

If you rest for eight days before going into the mountains again, you can trigger two treasure hunt missions.

Moreover, you have more freedom in time. You can go into the mountains when you want to, and wait a few days if you don’t want to.

"Sure enough, the treasure-hunting compass is the greatest treasure."

“After the upgrade, the functions have become much stronger.”

"It just so happens that we can't go into the mountains that often in winter."

"It's just right to accumulate more times."

Xu Yang thought to himself.

The days ahead will be easier.
