Farm? Buying a farm?
Yuan Xi's heart was moved; he thought this was a good opportunity.
Blue Star has very little arable soil for growing crops. Here, you could have 3/10 mu* of land and grow food. That's the real hard currency. It was more reliable than money on Blue Star; the value of land was equal to the value of Federal Credit points.
*mu = chinese measure word of coverage, 15 mu = 1 hectare
Yuan Xi had a similar plan before, but few people could make a move due to the scarcity of land. He just thought about it and never expected to meet w.a.n.g Qingnian, who was selling land, today. How could he not be moved?
Lost in thought, Yuan Xi's hands were still nimble. He originally did his best to cook, but then he was distracted by two more additional matters.
Yuan Xi burned a fresh fish and, because time was tight and the food at hand was limited, he cooked another plate of minced meat and eggplant. Considering there were more ladies in the room, he added sweet & sour pork with pineapple, which was a fragrant, sweet and sour dish with a fruity undertone. There was a piece of winter melon on hand, and another soup was cooked.
These were all materials that he was familiar with. Then, he tried to make a three-color custard using a Blue Star specialty called Sutou Bird's Egg – which was milky white and light yellow – as well as green onions, which seemed to increase people's appet.i.te.
Then he added three more cold dishes: a sweet and sour cherry radish, a lettuce bean roll, and a green sesame bean curd.
As he cooked, in also heard in his mind the sound of constant beeps, dī dī dī, and 'Congratulations, Cooking Skill has increased 1 EXP.' With a total of eight dishes but an increase in 7 EXP, Yuan Xi noticed that the minced meat cooked with eggplant was not included as EXP. Yuan Xi thought for a moment. He seemed to have done this dish a few days ago, did it not increase then?
Keeping the matters about the farm in mind, Yuan Xi didn't think about this in too much detail. First, he rushed to bring the food to the table.
The table full to the brim with dishes stunned Old w.a.n.g, w.a.n.g Qingnian and his wife, and w.a.n.g Xueqing. Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun knew Yuan Xi could cook, but they were surprised that he had made such a banquet full of a variety of colors, fragrances, and flavors in just one hour.
At this time, little Yuan Zhe was tired and Lin Suyun had also fed him formula, so he was sleeping soundly and did not disturb the adults' meal. When Lin Suyun was finished, she let Yuan Xi sit down, then went to collect the tableware, drinking set, and good vintage wine.
Even after these thousands of years, mankind's love for wine was still unshakable. Although humans have tried a wide variety of winemaking methods, the original method still remains. Alcohol made from grain remained in people's hearts.
Yuan Xi did not drink very much, so he was uncertain of his drinking capacity. However, he clearly remembered Lin Suyun telling him that his body cannot handle alcohol or spicy foods now.
w.a.n.g Qingnian felt very sorry for Yuan Xi since he couldn't drink, but since it was a physical problem, he (WQ) couldn't persuade him to drink. However, Yuan Xi helped pour wine and bantered with the others. The meal was very joyful with good wine paired with good food and good, congenial company.
w.a.n.g Qingnian was a good conversationalist, and was currently very talkative. With that, he started speaking of his current worries: "My farm is a good farm with a total of 300 mu of land. Every year, it produces more than 60,000 kg of grain, and a large amount of fruits and vegetables. There are also Sutou birds, white striped cattle, zepra pigs, and antelopes – which are all good breeds – on the farm…Hey, if it weren't for my daughter, I would never leave…"
The more he said, the more excited Yuan Xi became. He spoke more and Yuan Xi asked him a few more questions. As he asked questions, Lin Suyun glanced at Yuan Xi a few times. Lin Suyun was smart and guessed Yuan Xi's intentions at once, but she did not stop the conversation. Instead, she helped ask a few more crucial questions.
Seeing Lin Suyun's interest, w.a.n.g Qingnian's heart was moved. In fact, he was not really unable to sell his farm. Even with the need for credit points to trade, there were many people lining up to buy the farm. But, he loathed to part with his farm in his heart, having taken care of it for decades, brick by brick, carefully managing every tree and bush. This feeling could not be faked.
If it weren't for the sake of his daughter's future, he would not leave until he died. But now that he was leaving, he wanted to entrust his farm to a reliable family and not have his years of hard work go to waste.
It was clever to speak of it. Although he only met Yuan Yucheng that day, he felt very comfortable with him. Yuan Yucheng was honest, capable, and experienced, doing things with great care. Lin Suyun was able, free and intelligent. Their son is even more likable, not flaky like most young people; he is stable, easygoing and eloquent. w.a.n.g Qingnian always thought that if he had a son, he would probably have been like this…
Therefore, when he saw their intentions on the farm, he was very happy. After he finished talking, he couldn't help but say to Yuan Yucheng: "Brother, my sister-in-law always said that I am a reckless person, but I actually just believe in intuition. I just think your family is good and friendly. If you can buy this farm, I will give you a discount of just 2 million credit points in thanks for your kindness in saving my old father."
As soon as he said this, Yuan Xi, who did not know the market price, was somewhat uncertain. However, Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun's complexions changed.
In the Federation, resources are the most important thing, ranging from the basic necessities of life like food, clothing, shelter and transportation to the larger scale like scientific research and military affairs. One of the sources of resources is arable land, and the value of such land is clearly marked throughout the Federation, which is well-known to all.
300 mu of land is worth 4 million credit points, but w.a.n.g Qingnian asked for only 2 million credit points. This, where was the profit? The price was basically cut in half.
Lin Suyun was the first to reply: "Brother w.a.n.g, when we first came to Blue Star, we wanted to settle down here. Therefore, we also wanted to buy some property, but your selling price is too bad for you. How can this work?"
w.a.n.g Qingnian quickly retorted: "Younger brother saved my father's life, how can money measure it…?"
At that moment, Yuan Xi was also listening at the doorway and realized that w.a.n.g Qingnian really quoted a very low price. He added: "Uncle w.a.n.g, if you shouldn't say that again. Besides, Sister Xueqing also wants to go study at the main planet, where cost of living is high and you spend money everywhere. You should be saving more money, so you can have more money at hand."
w.a.n.g Qingnian started to speak again, but w.a.n.g Xueqing quietly pulled his sleeve. w.a.n.g Qingnian paused. Although his daughter was not as talkative and p.r.o.ne to laughter as he was, her mind was more meticulous. He was pulled back by Xueqing, but he felt that he was being too anxious.
And it was really reckless. Although he discounted the price, 2 million credits is not a small number; where can an ordinary family get it? Moreover, he looked at Yucheng's family home, which had three bedrooms. Although it was not simple, it was not wealthy either; they were just an ordinary family.
After all, he did not know them well. If people do not have enough money on hand, would it not be embarra.s.sing for him to push them like this? His intention was kind, but his efforts were a bit brusque.
Once he changed his mind, w.a.n.g Qingnian stopped talking until he was full of wine and food, and it was late. As the father and daughter pair left, he took Yuan Xi's hand and said: "Son, your Uncle w.a.n.g's words are absolute. If there is any difficulty, just tell me and I can help you."
If he said this to Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun, it might have been somewhat humiliating, but it was said to Yuan Xi, who is of a younger generation, so he also understood. He replied enthusiastically with a warm smile and half-moon eyes: "Thank you, Uncle w.a.n.g."
w.a.n.g Qingnian laughed happily upon seeing him like this. He then pulled w.a.n.g Xueqing to say goodbye to Yuan Yucheng and his wife. Last but not least, they did not forget to see little Yuan Zhe, who was asleep, then drove away.
After w.a.n.g Qingnian left, the family returned to their house. Yuan Xi invited Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun to take their seats, then he flopped down onto her knees, looked at them solemnly, and said: "Uncle and aunt, I grew up alone without a father or mother or relatives. I was alone until I met you two. In the case of little Yuan Zhe, I know that without you, neither of us would have survived." As he spoke, he bowed his head and knocked it heavily on the floor.
Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun quickly stood and pulled him up. Yuan Yucheng said: "Son, what are you doing?"
Lin Suyun also said: "In the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p, if you weren't there, how could this old couple survive?"
Yuan Xi replied: "That's different. What happened on the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p is nothing at all. At best, I saved myself and then saved everyone else indirectly in doing so, but you really saved me and little Yuan Zhe. I know this kindness." He paused, looked up again, and fixed his eyes on them.
After a moment of silence, he happily said: "Uncle, Aunt, if you don't mind, let me be your son and be filial to you!"
When he said this, Lin Suyun's tears spilled over in an instant and Yuan Yucheng's eyes reddened. They pulled Yuan Xi to them and replied with trembling, choked voices: "Good boy, good boy. We're so happy that you have this thought. We're extremely happy."
Yuan Xi's nose also stung. He now has the chance to say the two words that he thought he would never say in all his life.
He looked at Yucheng and Lin Suyun and shouted in a clumsy voice: "Dad, mom."
Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun responded together: "Hey."
There wasn't much courtesy nor any type of ceremony, but it was enough for them at that moment. A parents' claim, a response, it represented all their feelings.
The three people calmed down and sat down together. Lin Suyun asked about the farm w.a.n.g Qingnian was about to sell. She saw Yuan Xi's intentions, and thought that it was a good choice.
In the past, she didn't put 2 million credits in her eyes, but now that amount of money was a huge sum for them.
Yuan Xi had a plan in mind. He took out the hundred yuan bills that he had kept on purpose, and gave both Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun one each.
As soon as they saw it, they realized that – although they did not know where Yuan Xi found the ancient bills – they could exchange them for many credit points, enough to buy the farm.
Yuan Yucheng thought for a moment, and then said: "In this cause, Little Xi, I hope that you can still buy the farm at market price. 2 million credit points is too bad for w.a.n.g Qingnian. We can't owe such a big favor."
Yuan Xi also thought that he should do so. It was not easy for everybody to live. Although Yuan Yucheng saved Old w.a.n.g, they could not accept such a large favor because of that. That was too much. Moreover, w.a.n.g Qingnian's family was very good and he could not take advantage of that.
As the family reached an agreement, little Yuan Zhe also woke up. He did not cry, but just pedaled around in his little bed for attention.
Yuan Xi rushed over. This little thing happened to have big black eyes, like grapes. The little bun looked at him without blinking his eyes, then laughed with his small mouth, ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh and so on.
Yuan Xi quickly picked him up. Lin Suyun saw him do so and just wanted to remind Yuan Xi, but then Yuan Xi's second change of clothes that day suffered from rice seedlings* and was dripping wet once again…
*Lol, I'm guessing this is a euphemism for baby vomit?
Yuan Xi did not know whether to cry or to laugh, and instead patted the little bun's white and tender b.u.t.tocks, thinking: When your father is rich, I'll first buy you a set of high-grade smart all-around breathable water-absorbing and transformable super diapers!
