Chapter 1632: Chapter 1489: Play It Safe
The dical examination was quickly arranged, but although it missed the busy farming season, it coincided with the May Day holiday.
Due to the mysterious elents like adjusted work schedules and the crowds everywhere, many people prefer not to travel far and instead take short trips nearby.
Last year, Yunqiao Village was almost unknown, so Song Tan had little to worry about. The only place that got so attention online was the Golden Sakura flower cluster, which was casually posted by the workers who ca to help.
However, it didn’t cause trouble but instead attracted people like Doctor Xiaoguo. But this year, without her having to bring it up, Yun Duo directly shared several links:
"Boss, look at these posts. There are similar ones on platforms like Xiao greenbook and TikTok, all posting about our farm."
Song Tan took a look and found it to be true.
The orchard on the mountain was deliberately controlled so that each type of flower blood successively. From late March to early May, what you could see was a splendid cloud of blossoms.
The Shitou Slope area, enclosed by a high fence, featured lush green Ai Cao, sunflowers, and wild chrysanthemums. Although it wasn’t the blooming season yet, like the wheat and rice fields at the foot of the mountain, when the wind blew, the green leaves seed to shout about their freedom—at least, it could strongly resonate with the pastoral DNA of city dwellers.
And in the age of the internet, when they are moved, they feel the need to announce it to the world.
Now, different people shot from various angles showing vast expanses of beautiful rural scenery in videos—the simple waves of wheat and rice fields, the brilliant pogranates, and the blooming peach blossoms paired with suitable background music that could hardly resist capturing hearts.
Especially with the various responses under high-praise comnts—
[Caught unexpectedly on the way back ho, Shitou Slope in Qingxi Town...]
[Shitou Slope? The na... But it seems like a good place to take the kids for an outing. There won’t be any ticks, right?]
[Saw it with my boyfriend when we went back to his hotown. The countryside is so beautiful. He said it’s Yunqiao Village.]
[I heard it’s an organic farm invested with billions by a boss who returned from abroad. It’s very strictly guarded.]
[Wow, look at that Riverside Beach, isn’t it perfect for camping?]
[Hmm, why does this scenery look a bit familiar?]
[Can we see the details? It feels a bit like what I’ve seen from a live strear I know.]
[How many tis is the image zood in? Even with such a blurry picture, people still like it?]
[If you want to advertise for a strear, start a new post! Not welco here]
[Indeed! So many tricks]
The comnt section quickly turned into a debate.
Song Tan handed back the phone: "This is also hard to avoid."
It’s true that they had leased the mountain and the land, but so parts had adjacent roads that were public highways. They couldn’t deny people the right to pass through, right? And with the farm looking so beautiful, once soone sees it, they are bound to post it online.
She had considered this last year, so the only thing the farm has plenty of now is security guards.
As expected, Yun Duo had thought of this and said, "Then I’ll talk to Captain Chen. If there’s nothing major during the May Day holiday, we won’t schedule dical exams or adjust schedules. We’ll handle it after these days."
Song Tan was quite pleased with her and nodded: "Good, let’s do it this way."
After thinking for a mont, she added: "Pay attention these days as well. If soone starts a conflict with us online, make sure to notice."
Yun Duo nodded seriously: "I’ll go find Captain Chen right away."
First, inform Chen Yuan that foreign personnel, whether it’s elderly pretending to be pitiful or children throwing tantrums, are not allowed in.
Once they return and say online that they’re not allowed entry, it will silently deter many people. Conversely, if anyone says there’s a way in...
They truly dare to co over just for one word.
So, the first line of defense must be maintained.
...
During the May Day holiday, while the security guards postponed their ti off, Xin Jun had to go back.
Zhang Yanping was curious: "Aren’t you saying going back is more exhausting than staying here?"
Xin Jun sighed: "I still have to go back. After starting my own business, I realized how hard it is to start and maintain it—although I can’t help much, bringing back so good things to visit them."
Now that the hostay is on track, Zhang Yanping’s stern face has gradually been accepted by the public. Routine filming by drama crews is mostly minor issues, and even if he’s not here, Zhang Yanping can handle it alone.
Song Tan agreed: "Indeed, you should go back and accompany them more often."
She offered: "I’ll prepare two pounds of tea to take back for you."
Xin Jun quickly shook his head: "One pound is enough! It feels wrong to exchange more for money—by the way, is there anything we can sell to my family this year?"
The earliest milk vetch from last year attracted quite a few custors—previously the business at their hostay was just okay, but during that period, his mom used milk vetch for dishes and soup as complintary gifts, attracting a batch of new returning custors in a month.
However, this year there was only a limited supply of milk vetch, provided to Boss Chang and Old Zhao, and the rest was deliberately grown for feed and compost. Therefore, Song Tan, after thinking it over, couldn’t co up with anything good.
But that’s alright.
"Is your family farm quite large?"
"Yes." Xin Jun nodded: "After business improved last year, my mom planned to lease the surrounding land, creating many vegetable gardens and a fish pond. Now, every weekend, many families with children co to plant vegetables and pick vegetables, boosting business."
Song Tan thought for a mont: "Our farms are a bit far apart. Transporting goods over such a long distance is costly and not suitable for your farm’s mid-range price strategy—how about this, if your mom can also manage, you can lease a bit more land, or by the second half of the year, so parts of the gardens can be reorganized."
Xin Jun imdiately understood: "Are there a lot of seedlings in the second half of the year?"
"Yes." Song Tan nodded: "This year, we’re planting just one season of rice—the harvest from two seasons last year was a bit forced. In the second half, we plan to set up greenhouses and start seed breeding."
"The first batch of strawberries that Tian Tian delivered yesterday tasted almost the sa as the ones Yan Ran and the others planted, proving that the genetic traits are probably stable within the second generation."
Following this approach, Professor Song and his students will conduct a seed program here in the second half of the year. Whatever experintal seedlings they have can be shared with Xin Jun.
Xin Jun contemplated: "Knowing my mom’s personality, if she finds a channel, she’d want to develop the business into the Fortune 500—I’m guessing she’ll agree with this proposal."
The farmhouse is located in the wilderness, and the surrounding agricultural land isn’t very valuable. Plus, there’s the tea gifted by Song Tan...
Though Xin Jun spoke cautiously, he had already made up his mind.
However, Song Tan quickly reminded him: "Prioritize caution, because we’re still uncertain about the seeds’ condition. Don’t rush into leasing too much land if you can’t manage it."
Not to ntion, the strawberries grown by Yan Ran’s group had few insect issues because Song Tan continuously channeled Spiritual Energy into them. At Tian Tian’s place, just dealing with a simple powdery mildew and anthracnose almost made her sleep in the fields for guard duty.
