Chapter 9: The Orange Tree
"Farmer, you don't need to say it, I understand that the golden eggs belong to you!" After two days of getting along, Jack certainly knew what kind of person Loulan was, and immediately raised his hands and replied playfully.
"Oh, Brother Jack, you know so much, as the owner of this farm, what is there on this farm that is not mine? Although you also have a good job of feeding chickens, but I don't also pay you a salary... Belch... Is this food ready? So, we both got our fair share, wahahaha。。。。。。 Loulan's mouth was foaming, and she looked shameless, even Jack, who thought he was obscene, sighed to herself.
"This... Dear farmer, I still have to remind you that tomorrow afternoon, my three-day trial period will be up, and then we should sign the contract, and you should not forget. Although Jack didn't say anything about the golden egg, he was as firm as ever about the contract.
"Contract? Of course, I'll sign it with you then, don't worry. Loulan agreed when she heard this, but immediately added: "But, Brother Jack, isn't your asking price a bit high?" ”
"It's not high at all, esteemed farmer, think about it, how much effort does it take me to earn this 30% of the harvest? Turn the soil, sow seeds, water, catch insects, and harvest, and take care of it after the harvest is over, and in the future you have a storage warehouse, and I have to transport the harvest into the warehouse for storage, so much work, I can only get 30%, and you, just out of the land, have 70% of the income, such a deal can not satisfy you? "Jack didn't give an inch to the contract.
"This... It seems that what you said also has some truth, okay, then 30%, but you have to wait until the end of the trial period, and besides, I have a question for you. Loulan said.
"As long as I know, I will tell you the truth, what is the problem? Say it! Jack was also overjoyed to see that Loulan had agreed to the terms of the contract.
"That's right, if nothing else, starting tomorrow, I will have two plots of cultivated land, and you only have one person, if the workload is doubled, isn't it..." Loulan voiced her concerns.
"How could I be alone? Dear Farmer, Jack smiled and said, "I have a helper, let me tell you the truth, as long as we sign a contract, each of your fields will have a special person to take care of, not only that, but I can also arrange someone to help you manage everything on the farm, and I guarantee that these people are very good and competent, you don't have to worry about anything, uh... Of course, you still have to pay the remuneration, 30% of the commission for each piece of land. ”
Jack didn't know where the confidence came from, and he was full of words at once.
"In that case, then I'll wait and see." Loulan nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not early, you can rest early, I'm going to sleep too." ”
Loulan returned to the thatched hut with her golden eggs and two fantasy treasures, and couldn't help but be excited: a full 40,000 soft girl coins, in the past, Loulan had never seen so much money in his life, but now, all this money is his, life, it's just too beautiful!
Now he has completely fallen in love with this dream farm, and now the only problem is how to return to the outside world, after all, no matter how much money there is, in this deserted place, it can't be spent.
Put the gold into her closet---- Loulan couldn't find a place to store the gold for the time being, so she had to put it here first, but according to Jack, once the storage warehouse exchange is completed, these things can be stored in the warehouse, and the safety factor of the warehouse, according to Jack, even if the earth is destroyed, the warehouse will not necessarily have problems, and the security is the first in the universe.
Before going to bed, Loulan habitually looked in the mirror again, and found that it was similar to yesterday, her body was still in the stage of physical strengthening, and Loulan could clearly feel the changes in her body, not only did her strength become bigger and bigger, her movements became much faster, and her speed of action increased a lot.
"When the storage warehouse is finished, I will exchange this gold for soft sister coins and give it to grandma, so that she can enjoy it too!" While thinking beautifully, Loulan unconsciously fell asleep, and this night, Loulan slept very sweetly。。。。。。
The next morning, the rooster crowed several times, Loulan got up, yesterday's day of land reclamation, although a lot of harvest, but also really consumed a lot of his physical strength.
A steaming breakfast was already on the table, but to Loulan's surprise, in addition to roasted corn and corn kernel cob noodle porridge, there was also a large bottle of yellow drink.
"What is this?" Loulan walked to the table, put her nose to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in a lost voice: "This... Isn't this orange juice? ”
Loulan didn't say a word, picked up the bottle and poured a big sip, sweet orange juice with a slight sourness, and a fresh aroma unique to fresh fruit when entering the mouth.
"I'll go, it's delicious!"
This orange juice, drinking it in one gulp, it feels like you have really drunk a fresh orange, not to mention how comfortable it is in your stomach.
"But how can there be orange juice?" After pouring a large mouthful of orange juice, Loulan suddenly thought of this question: "Could it be that oranges grow on the farm?" ”
Thinking of this, Loulan didn't care about breakfast, so she hurried out of the hut, went to the farm to look around, and soon found a small tree full of oranges by the river where she stored the stones.
The small tree is about one and a half people tall, and although the trunk is not very thick, the branches are densely covered with red oranges, and the root of the small tree is actually a large stump.
"This... Isn't that stump I threw away yesterday? Loulan quickly recognized the stump: "It turns out that this is an orange tree, this orange... Looks delicious! ”
Loulan stretched out her hand to pick a red orange from the tree, and immediately split it, she felt the aroma, broke a petal and stuffed it into her mouth and bit it, the cool and sweet and sour juice overflowed, and her mouth was full of fragrance.
"Delicious! This orange is so delicious. Loulan muttered while eating, "It's delicious, but... This orange should be able to sell for money, right? ”
Since knowing the existence of Dream Tongbao, Loulan will think of money first when she looks at everything now.
Soon, the well-informed brother Jack was pulled to the side of the orange tree by Loulan, and as soon as this guy saw the orange tree, he immediately rushed over, first kept picking oranges and eating them, and then put them into his pockets one by one, until the pockets became obviously swollen nearly doubled, and then said slowly:
"This orange! Of course, you can sell it for money, but you have to wait until you have a storage warehouse before you can trade. ”
"You dare to eat it if you can sell it for money! You guy, I'm going to deduct your wages! Compensate me for my losses! Loulan was furious on the spot when she heard this, and her true colors of miser and miser were undoubtedly revealed.
"Oops! I said, Dear Farmer, don't worry, listen to what I've to say. Seeing Loulan's reaction so fiercely, Jack hurriedly explained: "Although the crops in the dream farm are all ripe in one day, but this orange is not like corn, but belongs to fresh fruit, after picking it, you must immediately enter the storage warehouse, otherwise it will rot soon, you don't have a warehouse now, these oranges will rot anyway." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Loulan said suspiciously: "You mean, the oranges I pick now can only be eaten, and if you can't eat them, they can only rot, and they can't be exchanged for money at all, right?" ”
"Exactly! Dear Farmer! Jack smiled obscenely when he heard this, and said, "You can eat a few too, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat for nothing!" ”
"Eat you big-headed ghost, I saw it just now, you also put a lot of money in your pocket, you guy, I wanted to ask you yesterday, your pocket seems to be weird, why does the food not disappear after putting it in for more than a long time?" Loulan suddenly remembered that Jack fed the chickens yesterday, and the tortillas he gave Jack at noon were still there until dinner, and they didn't disappear automatically, which was obviously weird.
"Huh? Well, this... Hehe, the farmer is really wise, my pocket is a treasure! Jack laughed dryly twice when he heard this, and said proudly: "Anything in this world, as long as it enters my pocket, the ownership will be completely mine, and only I can get it." ”
"Anything? I don't believe it, you're bragging at all! Of course Loulan won't believe this guy's nonsense.
"If you don't believe it, hmph, then try it yourself!" After Jack finished speaking, he directly untied the pocket from his body, opened the bag and handed it to Loulan.
Facing the pocket that Jack handed to him, Loulan couldn't help but glance at the mouth of the bag, and found that it was the same as those small drawers in his seed room, filled with a thick layer of black mist, he tentatively reached into the bag, but found that the space inside the bag was very small and empty, so he had to retract his hand.
Seeing that Loulan found nothing, Jack smiled obscenely, reached into the bag, touched it twice, then took out a red orange, handed it to Loulan and said, "Dear farmer, let's try this orange again." ”
"Try oranges? What is there to try about oranges, isn't it just to eat... I'll go, what's going on? Loulan reached out to pick up the orange, but found that after her hand reached the position of the orange, she went directly through it and couldn't get it at all.
"Haha, you can't get it, can you? The ownership of this orange is already exclusive to me Jack, and of course you can't get it. Jack laughed proudly and said, "Not only that, as long as the food goes into my pocket, it will always stay fresh and will not spoil." ”
"Humph! That's a nice thing to say, don't think I can't see it, your bag doesn't actually hold much food! Loulan suddenly thought that Jack had filled a dozen oranges just now, and the bag had obviously become much bigger.
"Uh... Well, this... The capacity is naturally limited, after all, it's just a bag! Jack was a little embarrassed when he saw Loulan point out the shortcomings of his pocket in one sentence.
"Well, you didn't tell me just now, how much income can this orange tree generate for me every day? This orange should be worth more than corn, right? "Loulan is more concerned about her own money.
"A fantasy treasure!" Jack immediately said: "Every day's harvest can sell a fantasy treasure, and it only needs to be picked, and the work is very small." ”
