I am farming in the real world

Chapter 12: Smashing Eggs to Hatch Chicks!

Holding the thick stack of red bills in his hand, Chen Jue was filled with mixed emotions.

In the years since his business failed, this was the first time he had earned so much money.

This trip to promote MC waxberries was undertaken with a do-or-die mentality.

Because he had invested all of his meager savings of over a thousand yuan.

If he didn't get this cash back, Chen Jue would have to rely on friends for help or use the MC system to farm and use the system's crops as rations to feed himself.

After all, in this fast-paced era where everything revolves around money, without money, it's not just difficult to move an inch; without family support, even eating is a problem.

"The old saying is right, heaven never seals off all paths!" Chen Jue cheered himself up.

After receiving the first payment, he and Fatty Luo Xian scheduled the second delivery for the next day.

He drove to the small advertising shop and placed an order for another 400 gift boxes with the shop owner, who was engrossed in playing Legend.

The young boss was so happy that his mouth stretched into a smile, and he immediately patted his chest, saying that he would definitely be able to finish everything early the next morning.

Because it was currently the off-season summer vacation, customers with needs were hiding in air-conditioned rooms and rarely came out, so business like Chen Jue's, coming to their door, was like delivering money.

Although they could only earn half the profit, these two orders would be enough to cover the small shop's expenses for more than half a month.

…

3000 yuan was spent on 400 gift boxes, and the stack of red bills in hand visibly shrank.

However, thinking about the even larger income coming tomorrow, Chen Jue felt much better while driving.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he drove the truck to the entrance of Touch Fish Internet Cafe.

Entering the internet cafe, he saw Zheng Bocheng was typing away at the keyboard in his usual spot, and the waxberry gift box beside him had been opened and eaten clean.

"Bocheng, you finished the whole box?"

"You really didn't leave a single one for your child! You're such a qualified father." Chen Jue came over to tease him, and incidentally tossed the car keys back to him.

Zheng Bocheng had just been killed back to the spring by the opposing team and hung up. Hearing this, he immediately looked embarrassed, remembering the sentence he had said when they met before, 'Isn't it just waxberries? How good can they be?', and now his face was slapped.

After all, he was a young man, and no one can escape Wang Jingze's 'so fragrant' law.

Then he put on a smiling face and said, "I was playing games just now and couldn't resist the craving. Do you have any more? I'll take a few boxes home."

Seeing this, Chen Jue teased him a few times and took out a full plastic bag from his backpack.

Zheng Bocheng's eyes lit up when he saw these MC waxberries, and he reached into the bag, grabbed one, and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Chen Jue, where did you buy these waxberries? They're so big and delicious. Even the Gaolou waxberries sent by a few clients in my dad's office can't compare."

"If you like them, take them all. I have a lot more." Chen Jue didn't hide it and made up a reason, saying that a relative gave him 13A Dongkui waxberries.

He borrowed the car in the afternoon to help a relative run a small errand, and these waxberries were the reward.

"Okay! You finally got the hang of it. Do you want to get a position in my family's factory?"

"If we two join forces, we can definitely run a lot of new business." Zheng Bocheng ate with satisfaction and was also happy that Chen Jue had escaped his depression.

"I'll pass on the position. I have a job lined up next."

"Don't cause trouble for Uncle Zheng!" Chen Jue felt a warmth in his heart as he listened.

When he previously started a processing factory, Zheng Bocheng took many small orders that his large factory couldn't handle and gave them to him.

When Chen Jue was most in trouble, he also scraped together more than 100,000 yuan from his private money to help him fill the hole.

A buddy who does this is absolutely benevolent and righteous.

If he shamelessly went to Zheng Bocheng's house to work, Chen Jue himself would feel uneasy.

So Chen Jue's next plan was to earn his first pot of gold as soon as possible with the MC system, first pay off the debts of gratitude to a few close friends, and finally pay off the money from relatives and the bank loan.

…

After sitting with Zheng Bocheng in the internet cafe for a while, seeing that the time had passed to 5 pm in a flash, Zheng Bocheng said goodbye to Chen Jue with a loud voice and drove the truck towards his family's factory.

Most of the "second generation factory owners" in Wenzhou are like this. Most of the family's business is handled by the elders, and the younger generation is responsible for having children and raising the next generation.

As long as they don't go out and gamble and waste the family fortune, being able to go home on time for dinner is considered 'obedient and well-behaved'.

Only when Zheng Bocheng drove the small truck, which had been washed inside and out, and saw the full tank of gas displayed on the fuel gauge, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "Brother, did you have to make it so formal?"

…

Seeing his close friend drive away, the sun began to slowly set.

Chen Jue went to a nearby supermarket and bought some fresh vegetables and large bones. He planned to go back and make a hearty dinner to reward himself for a day's work, and also synthesize more bone meal.

Eating instant noodles all day long doesn't provide enough nutrition, and the body can easily break down.

Chen Jue, who had already seen the hope of turning over, would never allow himself to be as self-destructive as before.

After that, he took the No. 5 bus and spent 40 minutes returning to the bus stop outside the Immigrant Village. He unlocked the old bicycle and slowly rode towards the mountains.

Passing by the brightly lit Immigrant New Village beside the road, Chen Jue's heart stirred: "It would be great if Mom and Dad were still here!"

The kind of feeling where family members are not around, and the joy of harvest cannot be shared, still made him feel a bit melancholy.

As for these novel-shaped residential buildings in front of him, they were newly built relief houses funded by several nearby villages. The purpose of building them was to solve the urgent needs of those rural people who had reached marriageable age.

Houses in the county seat cost millions at every turn, and ordinary rural people simply couldn't afford them. Most ordinary people struggle for a lifetime just to be able to move out of the mountains and have a hundred square meters in a slightly more convenient suburb to shelter their families from wind and rain.

Chen Jue also had a new house here before his bankruptcy, when the whole family was thriving.

It was just that not long after his parents passed away, his business failed, and the new house was seized and auctioned off by the bank.

"Keep working hard!"

"I will slowly earn back everything I've lost." Chen Jue secretly vowed, hoping to comfort his parents' spirits in heaven through his efforts.

So that after they passed away, they would not be demeaned and criticized behind their backs by those villagers and relatives who liked to gossip.

…

When he rode his bicycle back to the old house in Chen Village, it was already completely dark.

Chen Jue carried two large bags of purchased fresh vegetables and started busying around in the kitchen.

After spending an hour or so to finish dinner, he took a box of fresh eggs bought from the supermarket, dug open the floor of the utility room, and went down to the underground space through the shaft.

But as soon as he arrived, Chen Jue was stunned by the scene in front of him!

Dense green vegetable seedlings, arranged neatly in a chevron shape, combined with the flat, mirror-like light blue canals, formed a beautiful scenic painting.

"How beautiful!"

Chen Jue really wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture.

But he was afraid that these smartphones had a backend and would upload private data to the cloud server at every turn.

For safety's sake, he restrained the urge to take pictures.

He first went to look at the few saplings that he had planted in the morning and found that they had grown more than half a section taller, and their growth rate was somewhat outrageous.

As for the vegetables that were sown, it was the same. Only 12 hours had passed, and they had already skipped the germination stage and were growing crazily under the continuous illumination of the torches.

According to Chen Jue's estimate, these vegetables would be ready for harvest in at most one or two days.

Although selling vegetables doesn't earn much money, most vegetable farmers rely on the weather, guaranteeing income regardless of drought or flood, earning a hard-earned income.

But Chen Jue's quantity is large, and the delivery speed is fast!

"I have to hurry up and find a sales channel for selling vegetables."

"And this underground space must continue to be expanded." Chen Jue planned in his heart.

After checking these vegetables and fruit trees, he took the box of fresh chicken eggs to the chicken coop in the corner.

He glanced at the state of the chicks and saw that they had already crossed from the juvenile stage to the growth stage. Whether it was their size or their color, they had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when they were first bought in the morning, and Chen Jue's face showed a bit of gratification.

"They should be able to leave the coop the day after tomorrow!"

The joy of the imminent harvest made him have a bit more expectation for tomorrow.

However, the number of chicks was still a bit too small, and it seemed a bit lacking in such a large chicken coop.

So Chen Jue switched to the MC interface, put the box of fresh eggs into the item bar, grabbed an egg transformed into a mosaic [Egg], and threw it towards the chicken coop.

Then, a heaven-defying scene that violated Darwin's theory of evolution appeared!

With a "cluck" sound, he saw that the moment the mosaic egg landed and broke, it didn't splash out any egg white or yolk, but instead, a vivid chick jumped out from it!
