Chapter 6: Strange Stones
From the mouths of several people, Zhou Yu finally learned about the recent situation of the farm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The profit and loss are also well known.
According to them, the main reason for a farm to be profitable is to rely on high-quality fruit. If the yield of high-quality fruit is too low, then it is almost certain that the loss will be lost.
For the quality of fruits, Zhou Yu has the strongest right to speak. The jade seal ball is the guarantee.
After listening to their narratives, Zhou Yu had already decided to place the jade seal in the snake orchard. Although the influence area of the jade seal is only ten acres now, as long as the soil of these ten acres can be transformed so that these ten acres of snake fruits can become high-quality snake fruits, then according to calculations, the original yield of one acre is twenty tons, and after the soil transformation is completed, the yield will definitely increase, not to mention how much, twenty-five tons should be there.
Ten acres, that's two hundred and fifty tons. If they are all premium grades, twenty-five tons and 550,000 pounds, and one pound and twenty or thirty US dollars, the value is more than 10 million!
Calculating this number, Zhou Yu was relieved at once.
With this income, even if it is not all premium products, then at least it will not lose money.
With a slight sigh, Zhou Yu looked at the worry on the faces of the five people and smiled: "Don't worry." I think my farm will get better and better in the future. ā
Andrew smiled reluctantly, obviously only taking Zhou Yu's words as comfort.
The dinner was a little dull, because of Zhou Yu's negligence, and Zhang Mei was not good at preparing American-style dinners, the atmosphere was a little nondescript.
After the meal, Andrew and the others said goodbye one after another, the nanny Zhang Mei was cleaning, the old man was watching TV, and on the sofa on the side, Zhou Yu and Ruth were left.
"What are you thinking?"
Ruth looked at Zhou Yu's contemplative face, and couldn't help but say, "Can you tell me about it?" ā
Zhou Yu raised his head and smiled: "I'm just thinking about the development of the farm." He spread his hands: "You heard them say before, the farm continues to lose money. ā
Then he said, "Thank you for your help today." ā
He pointed to the furniture.
"This is my job, and I get a commission." Ruth laughed.
"Then now..."Zhou Yu didn't know what to say.
"I think you should get a good idea of American customs." Ruth stood up and stretched as if tempted: "Tonight's... Well, it's not a party, and it's not like a formal banquet, but I hope that the next time I come back, it will make my eyes shine. ā
As he spoke, he walked out the door: "You should now open the gifts they brought and make yourself happy." Dear Zhou, I should say, bye-bye. ā
"Uh... Bye. Zhou Yu stood up and waved his hand.
Speaking of gifts, in the United States, when you go to someone's house for dinner and party, you will bring some small gifts. When Andrew and the others came over before, each family brought a small box with a bow, and it looked very formal.
Hearing Ruth say this at this time, Zhou Yu was also interested, and when he opened it one by one, he was a little disappointed.
Most of them are homemade pastries, and there are some knick-knacks, which are not worth mentioning. But it's a good idea, eat what you can eat, and collect what you can't eat.
...
The old man over there was watching the TV, and suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, come here." ā
Zhou Yu hurriedly went over and sat down beside the old man.
"I see that foreign woman was interesting to you just now," the old man looked at him sharply: "You can't mess around, don't forget Xiaoyi!" ā
"Uh..."Zhou Yu scratched his hair: "Grandpa, are you wrong?" People on the American side are all like this, and they don't mean anything. ā
"Either way, you have to know what to do." The old man said this and continued to watch TV.
Zhou Yu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, it became this sentence: "I'll go out for a walk." ā
Then out of the house, I walked to the northwest corner of the central living area.
The whole farm, which is divided into five plots, is centered on the central living area, with the snake orchard to the northwest, the red grape orchard to the southwest, the pineapple orchard to the northeast, and the banana orchard to the southeast.
Zhou Yu decided to take advantage of the night to place the jade seal in a corner of the snake orchard close to the living area.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, he looked like he was wandering, bypassing the cottages, warehouses and processing rooms, and there was a snake orchard in front of him.
Walking into the dark and gloomy orchard, Zhou Yu looked around, while estimating the location, and finally found a conspicuous place after going deep into the snake orchard for about two hundred meters, and took out the jade seal from his pocket.
The millilight emitted by the jade seal is like a small light bulb, which looks very dazzling in this dark orchard. Zhou Yu hurriedly pressed the jade seal into the ground, for fear of attracting someone's attention.
But the jade seal had just been pressed, and suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, feeling something unusual.
As soon as Jade Yin Fu touched the soil, it seemed to turn into a magnet or vortex. He clearly felt that there was something strange in the soil, absorbed by the jade seal!
And this momentum is getting louder and louder, the faster and brighter the jade seal!
Zhou Yu was startled, and hurriedly let the jade seal go deep into the soil, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Standing next to him, squinting slightly, he felt the changes in the jade seal through the ball in his mind.
Some strange things in the soil, or breath, are like milk swallows throwing into the forest, or like moths fighting fires, flocking to the jade seal in all directions. At first, it was a trickle, and then it gradually became a torrent!
Zhou Yu also felt that the breath coming from one direction was the strongest, and the breath coming from all the other directions combined was not as strong as this.
As the peculiar aura of the Yangtze River was absorbed by the jade seal, Zhou Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that the scope of influence of the jade seal was expanding!
First ten acres, eleven, twelve... It increased rapidly, and in just a few minutes, it grew to twenty acres, and it didn't stop!
"Could it be that this breath is the food of the jade seal?!"
Zhou Yu was pleasantly surprised, but also wondered.
"Is there something special in the ground of this farm, and this kind of thing is good for the jade seal?!"
He couldn't help but think of this reason.
I couldn't help but feel it, and followed the feeling and followed the direction of the largest torrent coming back, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, walking, suddenly someone shouted again, and then the strong flashlight shone over.
"Who is it?!"
Zhou Yu paused: "It's me!" Zhou Yu. ā
"Ah, it's the boss!" I saw two security guards with flashlights, electric batons hanging from their waists, and double-barreled spears in their hands.
"You're on patrol?" Zhou Yu said with novelty.
In the country, no matter what orchard farm, it is difficult to have two security guards, let alone patrol with guns.
"Yes, boss." The two stepped forward and greeted Zhou Yu.
"Boss, what are you doing here?" One of them asked.
"Just finished eating, go out for a walk." Zhou Yu smiled: "I want to be quiet alone." ā
The two nodded: "Then boss, you go shopping slowly..."One of them handed the flashlight to Zhou Yu and said, "Boss, take a flashlight, so as not to be misunderstood." ā
"Okay, then you're busy."
Waiting for the two security guards to walk away, Zhou Yu took the flashlight, smiled, and continued to follow the feeling, tracing back to the source of the breath.
Finally, about seven or eight hundred meters to the south, he stopped.
Here, it is already the scope of the Red Grapes Garden.
I only felt that the source of the strongest peculiar aura was the land under my feet.
He looked around, and all he saw were red shelves. Not even a thicker piece of wood could be found, and without tools, it was impossible to dig it by hand, though he wondered what was underneath.
I had to make a note of the location characteristics of this place, turn around and walk towards the living area.
When I got home, only Zhang Mei was watching TV, and the old man had probably fallen asleep. After saying hello to Zhang Mei, Zhou Yu went into the utility room and took out a shovel, and in Zhang Mei's inexplicable gaze, he went out with a flashlight again.
Soon came to the source of the breath in the Red Grapes Garden, fixed the flashlight aside, picked up the shovel and dug it.
After a dozen clicks, there was a sonorous sound, and in the soil more than a meter deep, a hard thing was dug up. With great effort, I pulled this thing out.
The first thing he felt was heavy. If it is an ordinary stone, the size of a basin, it will not exceed 100 catties at most. But this thing weighs at least six hundred pounds!
Wipe off the mud, take a closer look, it is a basin-sized stone, black throughout, with many grooves on the surface, but the whole is not rough, and it can still reflect light when you shine it with a flashlight!
"Is this the thing?"
He clearly felt that after he dug out the stone, the aura that the jade seal in the distance had drawn from this side began to weaken!
"What the hell is it?"
Zhou Yu was inexplicable, looked over and over again, but didn't get a conclusion. I had to fill in the pit first, and walk towards the place where the jade seal was.
Although this peculiar stone is very heavy, ordinary people can only lift it in three or five, but Zhou Yu holds it easily. The ball in his head is nourishing his body all the time, and for more than half a year, Zhou Yu doesn't even know how much strength he has now, and he doesn't know if there will be a limit!
All the way to the place where the jade seal was placed, Zhou Yu put the stone directly above the jade seal, and felt a stronger torrent gushing out of the stone, and the jade seal was like a water pump, and the speed of drawing was faster.
"Let's leave it at that... Let the jade seal suck it first, and expand the scope of influence is the important thing. Zhou Yu thought for a while: "As for this stone... Ask Andrew about them tomorrow. ā
...
The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Yu came together and went to the snake orchard to take out the stone. Because of this peculiar stone, Zhou Yu didn't sleep well all night, and kept thinking about this thing.
So as soon as the day dawns, I can't wait.
After a night of absorbing the jade seal, on the eve of dawn, the strange breath in this stone has been absorbed by the jade seal, although Zhou Yu is at home, but through the ball, he can clearly feel it.
When I picked up the stone, I noticed that it had become very light. Except for the appearance, there is no difference in quality from ordinary stones.
And the Jade Seal's sphere of influence, after a night, quickly expanded to two hundred acres!
Exactly twenty times! And the speed of expansion, although slower because the stone is being absorbed, is still growing firmly.
This made Zhou Yu very excited, and it also made him even more eager to know what this stone was - if more such stones could be found, then the weakness of the jade seal's influence range was too small, and it could be quickly remedied!
In this way, the farm can quickly become a mountain of gold!
He couldn't help but care.
Now that the scope of influence of the jade seal has expanded so much, Zhou Yu did not just let it nourish the snake fruit, but let it go with the flow, and let the influence of the jade seal shroud part of the red ti garden.
Holding the stone, I walked directly to the workers' accommodation area, and I saw a little black brother jumping out of a room from afar.
"Hey, boss, it's morning."
It turned out to be Little Tom.
"You're early, little Tom." Zhou Yu said hello.
"What's the boss hugging?" Little Tom approached and took a closer look: "Oh, it's this thing!" ā
"What? You know? Zhou Yu couldn't help but stop.
"Of course I do." Little Tom smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Meteorite." ā
"Meteorite..."Zhou Yu suddenly realized.
