A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

In the last few days of autumn, Fang Shiqing has been busy preparing for winter—it is called "preparation", that is, storing some food that can be eaten in winter, storing some fodder, cleaning the farm, and reorganizing the greenhouse.

Except for a small number of crops that need to survive the winter, most plants cannot grow in winter, so they need to be removed in time.Just like the last season change, Fang Shiqing removed most of the fences one day in advance, and planned to use the power of the zombies to clean it up again.

There is not much farm work to do in winter, Yu Fei said two days in advance that he would not be able to come, and borrowed a fishing net from him, probably planning to go surfing by the river with his friends before the end of autumn .Fang Shiqing didn't care, so he just gave him the net, since he won't need it in a short time anyway.

When it comes to vegetables to stockpile in winter, cabbage and potatoes are of course the first choice; but now that he has a refrigerator, he can store more kinds of products.After harvesting the last batch of Chinese cabbage, he dug out the big vats he had prepared before, picked out some that looked pleasing to the eye, laid them in, pressed them with the selected stones, and then all he had to do was wait.

On the last day of Qiuyue, Zhao Jun and Zeng Xin came over together.

Fang Shiqing was very happy. He had a lot of things on hand to entertain guests. Apart from brewed beer that was nowhere to be consumed, there were also various freshly squeezed juices and vegetable juices, various nuts and fruits... harvested in autumn He also left some of the sunflower seeds for frying, but he was too lazy to eat them.It's rare for someone to come to visit, just to consume all these things.

Zhao Jun seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his face was beaming. It seemed that the factory was going well.

Sure enough, when Fang Shiqing asked about it, he immediately said: "Hurry up and finally catch up with the on-time delivery! These few days of busy work have added several more orders. This time we really made a lot of money, with a net profit of 65%. Wan. I don’t know if there will be new orders in the future, but this time it’s really a blessing in disguise.”

"Are you still planning to continue producing magical girl figures?"

"It's a PVC character model," Zhao Jun corrected. "The steel molds have already been made, and there are plenty of raw materials. If there are new orders, we can certainly make them. In fact, I really want to develop new products of the same series. This time Isn't this little plastic figure pink? I think I can make another blue one..."

"That's what I mean, are you going to produce anything else?"

"I really want to, but He Xiangwu won't do it." Speaking of this, Zhao Jun was a little depressed, "He said he didn't want to see the magical girl again in a short time."

After this tossing, although they earned a lot, the few people who participated were exhausted to the point of death.He Xiangwu was forced to press the prototype in the room for ten days, and now he can't even bring up his love for magical girls; You Qingyu insisted on running the machine, staring at the final product until he fainted.In comparison, Zhao Jun, who is in charge of contacting customers and sales, is already the best one.

Zeng Xin looked darker by two degrees, but she was quite energetic.

When she talked about the experience of going out on business with the mayor, Fang Shiqing was very surprised: she went to a completely unknown map this time, crossed the entire eastern mountain range, changed cars halfway, and ran a full eight or nine miles Got there in an hour.

"It's a very developed coastal city over there. It feels no different from the first-tier cities in reality. There are shopping malls, KTVs, bars, and Internet cafes, and there are takeaways at two o'clock in the morning." Zeng Xin said a little scared, "To be honest, I I am so happy that if I don’t have to finish my work, I would almost forget that I am in a game.”

Staying in the game is actually far more comfortable than in reality.It is very convenient to store items in the props bar, and all kinds of props can be made with only materials and skills, and all abilities can be measured by specific values... Unlike in reality, everything is invisible and intangible.

Zhao Jun was very interested: "Then can we go there to develop? This town is too small, and we can't make a lot of money."

"...I'm afraid it won't work, it's probably someone else's home field over there."

Fang Shiqing guessed that that kind of city might be a stage prepared for players who participate in the love development game or star development game.

"Anyway, we're doing pretty well here now, and there's no need to think about any other way out. We can go back after earning 200 million as soon as possible."

Zhao Jun thought about it and thought it was right.At present, the amount of tasks completed by the players has finally broken through the 100 million mark. Fang Shiqing's gross profit reached 15 last month. Their factory can continue to develop. If this momentum continues, it will be finished in a year or so. The task can be successfully completed; and if you have to toss and change the map, even if the operation is feasible, you have to adapt to a strange place after going to it, which may not be more efficient.

Fang Shiqing paid in advance for the purchase of raw materials before, Zhao Jun wanted to transfer the payment to him by check, but Fang Shiqing refused.Anyway, he is not short of money now.

After chatting with other players, Fang Shiqing felt that his mind was a little clearer.After all, games are not their destination, even if there are few things worth looking forward to in reality, it is still a real world.

After staying here for a long time, he is not the only one who will feel a sense of emptiness.in order to avoid

After sending his teammates away, Fang Shiqing re-strengthened the chicken coop and livestock coop, added a layer of straw mats to the walls, and added thick curtains to his hut.In this way, the preparations for the winter are completely finished—he thought so, but it wasn't until the next day, when winter really came, that he realized that he had forgotten to do a very important thing.

——The next morning, as soon as he went out, he was frozen back.

It's too cold!Not only did the temperature drop suddenly, but also the north wind was blowing. As soon as I took two steps, I felt that my whole body was going to be blown through.He trembled around the room several times before he recovered, and then he remembered: He had made all kinds of preparations, even rebuilt the kennel for Xiao Hei, but he forgot to buy a thicker coat to wear by himself.

What should we do now?He checked his status bar and found that neither his health nor his stamina had decreased, nor were there any abnormal conditions attached.

It seems that this coldness is just a physical feeling, and it will not affect the actual action.

He couldn't wait here forever, he hesitated for a few seconds, and ran out directly against the cold wind and low temperature.

While running outside shivering, he checked the status bar again to make sure that the weather outside really had no effect on him.Even so, when he plunged into the warm and wind-shielding chicken coop, he was greatly relieved, and even had the urge to never go out again.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, his movements are very nimble; today is another No. 1, he has to finish his work quickly, and then take the car to the neighboring town.

Today is the day when Uncle Zhang, the manager of the grocery store, goes to a neighboring town to buy goods. The store is closed, so he can't buy a coat even if he wants to buy it temporarily.I had no choice but to run staggeringly towards the station. When I finally arrived, most of the passengers had already boarded the train, and the driver had already closed the door.

The air conditioner was on in the car and it was quite warm.Fang Shiqing was trembling as he walked towards the back of the bus; as he walked, he realized that this time was different from the previous two times, the main force among the passengers was not young couples, but middle-aged and elderly people.

It's winter, why do these uncles go to neighboring towns?He wondered.

When we came to the middle of the car, the compartment gradually became empty.He looked up and looked ahead, suddenly froze:

He saw Xiao Fengdi.

The other party was sitting alone in the third-to-last row by the window, quietly looking out of the window.

Fang Shiqing stayed where he was, with mixed feelings in his mind: Speaking of which, they haven't met for nearly a month.The other party did seem to be the same, but there seemed to be something different; maybe it was just because of the different angles of observation.

After all, I used to stay very close to him before, but now I am watching from a distance.

Fang Shiqing completely forgot to look away and just stared at him blankly.And the other party didn't know whether he didn't notice it, or simply didn't want to make eye contact with him, so he never turned his head to look at him.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.Turning around, I saw Zhang Yu sitting not far away alone, smiling at him.

"Brother Fang, are you going to the neighboring town too? Come and sit here."

As he spoke, he moved into the inner side of the loveseat.

In this way, it would be difficult for Fang Shiqing to refuse.Besides, it doesn't matter where he sits, so he sat down as he said: "Thank you. Are you going to the neighboring town too? Uncle Zhang, didn't you come with me?"

"Here we come, look." Zhang Yu pointed to the back row, and Fang Shiqing discovered that Store Manager Zhang was sitting in the back, and next to him was another acquaintance: Carpenter Qi from the town.The two NPCs each smiled kindly at him, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed: the moment he saw Xiao Fengdi, he saw no one else, and he didn't even recognize his acquaintances who were close at hand.

"Are you...going to a neighboring town too?"

"That's right," Carpenter Qi said with a smile, "Didn't you notice that there are old men like me in the car today? Every year on Dongyue [-]st is the day when the neighboring town holds a square dance competition. Let's go and see it."

... Well, it is indeed an activity that appeals to the elderly.

Store Manager Zhang and Carpenter Qi quickly chatted about purchasing wood and furs again. Fang Shiqing turned around and asked Zhang Yu, "Are you also going...to dance in the square?"

"No, I went to play." Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I've been at home for a long time, and I want to go out to relax. By the way, I also want to accompany my dad."

"Well... where's your sister? Didn't you come together?"

"No, I think it's better not to let her go out recently." Zhang Yu said lightly, "It's because we allowed her to run around before that caused so much trouble."

Having said that, Fang Shiqing suddenly felt a little strange: Since he still doesn't allow Zhang Yu to go out, what happened to the moon cakes last time?He tentatively said: "By the way, thank you for the mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are delicious."

This is just polite talk.He didn't dare to taste the food delivered by Zhang Yu's hand at all, and immediately pressed it to the bottom of the box as soon as he got it.

"That's good." Speaking of this, Zhang Yu looked annoyed and helpless, "Actually, I wanted to give it to you myself, but Xiaoyu took it away while I was not paying attention. ... She went to see you I didn't say anything strange to you when I was there, did I?"

"No, nothing."

To this day, Fang Shiqing has not figured out what Zhang Yu meant last time, and it probably has nothing to do with Zhang Yu, so let's not talk about it.

"Then, Brother Fang, what are you going to do in the neighboring town? Shopping?"

"Well, I want to buy some flowers." Fang Shiqing said honestly.

His greenhouse has been set up quite well, but there are no ornamental plants worthy of mass breeding in Fengyue Town, so he wants to visit the neighboring towns.But he didn't know where to buy it, as he hadn't seen anything similar to the flower and bird market in neighboring towns so far.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu suddenly smiled, winked at him and said, "You want to buy ornamental plants, right? That's a coincidence. I know a place that probably meets your requirements. Need I tell you?"

"Is it okay?" Fang Shiqing regained his energy all of a sudden.

"Of course, but," he said with a meaningful smile, "I need you to do me a favor in exchange."
