Chapter 14: Tall Rapeseed Flowers! Another 500 Pounds!

Chapter 14: Tall Rapeseed Flowers! Another 500 Pounds!

Time passed quickly, and soon it was evening. The two new farm workers Zhang Lin had hired had already dug the initial trench for the reservoir.

When Liu De finished his shift and returned to the metal shed, Zhang Lin received a call. It was from the used car dealership, informing him that the paperwork for the two small trucks was complete.

"Liu De, take Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou with you and head out," Zhang Lin said after hanging up, shouting to Liu De.

His scooter could only carry one person, so he had to have Liu De take the two to pick up the new trucks and bring them back to the farm.

"Sure, boss!" Liu De responded and immediately called for Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou to get in the car.

Soon, Zhang Lin arrived at the used car dealership with the others, collected the necessary documents, and had Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou drive the trucks back to the farm. He then continued home on his scooter.

Another night passed.

The next day, the two new trucks were put to use. Early in the morning, Zhang Lin bought water peaches, Sunlight Roses, and rapeseed flowers. When he arrived at the farm, the three-wheeled truck and the two small trucks were already parked outside the warehouse.

Not only were Liu De, Lin Dawei, and Lin Dayou loading the fruits, but the two new farm workers were also helping out. This greatly increased their efficiency.

After loading the fruits, the three of them delivered the shipment to Lin Tuo. Upon returning, they immediately headed to the planned rapeseed flower planting area to continue working.

The two new employees had already started digging the trench for the reservoir while Liu De and the others were delivering the goods.

Today, Zhang Lin also rode his scooter to the rapeseed flower planting area. He hadn't checked on it for a few days, so it was time to see how it was progressing.

The earliest batch of rapeseed flowers had been planted six days ago.

With the special rapid-growth attribute of the rapeseed flowers, they should have grown significantly in six days.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the rapeseed flowers up close.

"These are so tall!" Zhang Lin got off his scooter and stared in astonishment at the rapeseed flowers planted on the first day.

The rapeseed flowers planted on the first day were already nearly up to his waist, and they still had their flower buds, meaning they could grow even taller.

At this growth rate, these rapeseed flowers would definitely grow to over two meters, making them a rare tall variety.

Typically, rapeseed flowers grow to a height of 30-90 cm, and those that reach over a meter are already considered very tall.

Most rapeseed flower fields do not grow very tall.

Tall rapeseed flowers require more stringent environmental conditions, but they are also more impressive and spectacular when they do grow.

Moreover, the stems of tall rapeseed flowers are thicker, making them more resistant to wind and pressure.

Unfortunately, the environmental requirements are high, and there are only three places in the country where tall rapeseed flower fields exist.

In Fujian Province, the conditions are not suitable for tall rapeseed flowers. Well-known rapeseed flower fields in Fujian, such as the Huian Flower Sea, Lixi Valley Flower Sea, Minhou Flower Sea, Fuzhou Flower Sea, Putian Flower Sea, Pingtan Flower Sea, and Ming City Flower Sea, do not have any tall rapeseed flower fields, and several of these fields are only about 30 cm tall.

Now, the rapeseed flowers he had planted were tall varieties, and they were growing in Fujian Province. This could only mean that the rapeseed flower seeds from the game were exceptional.

Such a tall rapeseed flower field does not exist anywhere in Fujian Province, so once it appears, it will definitely be more spectacular and awe-inspiring than the other rapeseed flower fields in Fujian, attracting all those who love rapeseed flowers.

Moreover, these rapeseed flowers have the attributes of +1 aesthetic appeal and +1 photogenic quality, which is like having a cheat code.

Zhang Lin could already imagine how stunning the scene would be, and he knew it would definitely become a sensation.

He was even more excited about the rapeseed flower field.

The other rapeseed flowers planted over the past five days had also grown to different heights.

The area was already a dense, vibrant green, and even though it was far from the blooming season, it was already quite spectacular.

Zhang Lin then went to check on the location of the reservoir that Guo Zhen had marked. The two new employees were diligently digging the trench for the reservoir and should finish today.

Sure enough, by evening, the two had completed the trench for the reservoir. The next step was to compact the foundation and lay the cement bricks.

This part didn't cost any money, as Dad had already bought a batch of cement and bricks before he passed away, so they were ready to use.

By evening, when Zhang Lin was about to head home, he checked the upgrade requirements:

Upgrade Requirements:

1. Hire 6 employees (6/6)!

2. Earn 500,000 in profit (151,457/500,000)!

3. Develop 200 acres of agricultural land (89/200)



The requirement for 6 employees for Level 3 had already been met.

However, the profit requirement was only 151,457 yuan, which would take some time to reach 500,000. After all, the profit would only increase when he sold the items he bought in bulk from the game.

By the time he reached the 500,000 profit mark, he should be able to pay off the family's debts. He didn't like owing money to people. Even though he didn't have to worry much about not being able to pay it off, the weight of the debt still felt like a knife pressing against his back.

That's probably why people say being debt-free feels like a weight off your shoulders. Only after paying back the debts to his relatives and friends could he focus better on his business.

As for the land development, he had already reached 89 acres, which included the 5 acres of vegetable garden that Dad had developed. Currently, 84 acres were planted with rapeseed flowers. He was just 11 acres away from the 100-acre milestone.

This meant he could claim the milestone reward tomorrow. He was looking forward to it, but he wasn't sure if the reward would increase the number of wholesale items available or provide new seeds.

The next day, Zhang Lin woke up and once again bought 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches, sun roses, and rapeseed flower seeds, spending 9,500 yuan.

However, after Liu De delivered 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches and 500 pounds of sun roses, Lin Tuo paid 44,000 yuan, bringing his balance to 185,957.52 yuan.

But what he was most excited about today was the milestone reward.

Finally, by evening, the game system notification sounded:

[Congratulations, you have completed the milestone of developing 100 acres of land. You have earned a milestone reward: a random increase of 500 pounds in the daily wholesale quantity of one product. The product receiving the increase is sweet peaches (effective from the next day)!]



This milestone reward once again increased the daily wholesale quantity of sweet peaches by 500 pounds. Now, he could wholesale 1,500 pounds of sweet peaches daily. He didn't plan to give the extra 500 pounds of sweet peaches to Lin Tuo, even though Lin Tuo was very respectful and considerate. Feeding someone too much isn't always a good idea.

Finding another buyer would also put some pressure on Lin Tuo. A bit of competition might help maintain his respect and consideration.

One person immediately came to mind who could sell the sweet peaches, and it would be a way to repay him.

While Zhang Lin was thinking about this, his mom called. He answered and heard her urgent voice: "Xiao Lin, come home early for dinner tonight. There's something important I need to tell you!"

Zhang Lin's brows furrowed at his mom's urgency, thinking something might be wrong. Without hesitation, he rode his scooter back home.

When he arrived, he found his mom had prepared dinner earlier than usual.

Seeing him, Lin Yan called out, "Xiao Lin, come and eat quickly. We need to go to the hospital after this!"

"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhang Lin asked, picking up his bowl, worried something might be wrong with his mom.

Lin Yan quickly explained, "Zhang Dong's dad was in a car accident and is in the hospital. You know their family isn't well-off. They even lent your dad 50,000 yuan before. This time, they had to borrow money for his surgery."

"Ah..." Zhang Lin was startled, " said:, " didn't know that.00:00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 "I ran into Zhang Dong, but he didn't mention this!"

If he had known, he would have paid back the 50,000 yuan to Zhang Dong's family first. In such urgent situations, it's better to prioritize those in need. The other creditors would understand.

Lin Yan sighed, "When we were in a similar situation, no0't000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 "When we were in a similar situation, they didn't come to collect the debt because they knew our family's situation was also tough. They didn't want to burden us with this problem."

"Even though we can't pay the debt right now, we can't ignore this. After you finish eating, we'll go to the hospital to see them. If there's anything we can do to help, we should do it. It's the least we can do to show our concern."
