Returning to the village to farm starts with activating the spiritual veins.

Chapter 17 A Group of Silly People

Two days later...

giggle~

In the yard, Sun Ran was feeding the chickens with a bowl of corn kernels.

These past few days, all the rice seedlings in the paddy fields have been planted, and any missing seedlings have been replaced. The woods on the mountain have also been cleared. So, we can finally rest for a couple of days.

Today, Mom is going to check on the bamboo forest, and the two little ones ran off to their grandparents' place early this morning, leaving the chicken-feeding chores to them.

He doesn't raise many chickens, one rooster and six hens, a total of seven.

I feed them a little whenever I remember, and sometimes I let them out to find food in the vegetable garden or on the mountain.

It's basically the same as the rice paddies we grow at home, mainly so that we can feel more at ease when we eat eggs and chickens.

Actually, there aren't many families in the village raising these things anymore, including chickens and pigs.

Unlike before, when they had to rely on these to supplement their household income.

Moreover, raising too many animals nowadays is troublesome, and there are also environmental regulations and such.

Chickens are doing a little better, but there are even fewer people raising pigs.

He scattered a handful of corn, and a flock of hens swarmed around, pecking at the ground. Only the rooster didn't rush to grab the food; instead, it stayed close to him.

With its wings flapping and neck straight, it raised its bright red comb and kept crowing at him, looking impatient.

"Go away~"

Sun Ran tossed it aside with her leg, looking utterly disgusted: "You still have the nerve to come begging for water?"

"Look at those bees, they became spirit pets after drinking water for just one day, and look at you?"

"I've been feeding you for days! Can't you be a little more ambitious and become a spirit pet or something?"

"Ooh ooh ooh~"

The rooster, which had been kicked away, crowed loudly with its neck stiff, then pounced on him again without a care, and refused to leave.

Basically, their main tactic is to be shameless and persistent.

Sun Ran was speechless looking at this shameless guy.

They've been fed with the spiritual spring water for a week.

Apart from its fur becoming more vibrant and the tail feathers almost returning to their original state, nothing else has changed.

Let alone being able to communicate with oneself like the queen bee, even this level of intelligence seems just as touching.

Aside from begging for water, he hasn't made any other progress.

He still sees the little girl like she's an enemy, and he wants to chase after her and peck her whenever he feels like it.

In other words, Sun An'an didn't only go home for National Day or Spring Festival. Otherwise, let alone stay to breed, even if he could lay golden eggs, he would probably have been chopped off long ago.

Hehe~

Sun Ran sneered, picked up the bowl mixed with spiritual spring water, and put it on the ground.

Drink up, you can drink!

If it's still like this in another month or so, don't blame me for putting in scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon, and stir-frying it over high heat with lots of oil!

Let's see if the chicken that has drunk the spring water tastes even better!

Slightly ~

The rooster, which was pecking furiously at the bowl of water, suddenly felt a chill run down its back, and in an instant, all the golden feathers around its neck stood on end.

He looked up with a suspicious expression, glancing left and right, and only after confirming that there was no danger around him did he lower his head again and slowly drink the water.

After feeding the chickens, Sun Ran washed the basin and put it away. He then moved a chair to a shady corner under the eaves and sat down, lost in thought.

He was fine when he was busy a few days ago, but he started to worry after he had some free time today.

More than a week has passed since he acquired the cheat code, and his initial experiments have yielded preliminary results.

From a planting perspective, if the ratio of the spiritual spring water to water is reduced to about 1:100, the effect of promoting rapid plant growth will basically be lost.

As for the impact on products and quality, we still need to observe.

Furthermore, through comparative experiments, it can now be basically confirmed that Lingquan water can replace fertilizer.

Now Sun Ran is also thinking about whether he can develop hydroponic vegetable cultivation in the future.

Then, regarding the chickens we feed, I don't know if it's because they're bigger, but so far none of them have shown any signs of intelligence.

However, they have all gained some weight.

He weighed the largest hen and found it had grown to about two ounces in size.

The free-range chickens they raise are the famous Sanhuang chicken breed, Xianju chicken, in China.

It's been about four and a half months now, and this amount of weight would have taken about another week or so.

The effect is quite noticeable.

In addition, he also goes to the beehive on the mountain every day these days to feed the bees some spiritual spring water and collect some golden honey.

It seems like everything is progressing quite well, but the biggest problem is that he still hasn't found a way to quickly monetize his cheat ability.

First of all, let's set aside the illusion technique I just learned a couple of days ago.

He has tried using this spell in the past few days, and so far its biggest use seems to be playing hide-and-seek with his two younger children.

With a clever trick, I can stand right in front of them and they won't be able to find me, hehehe...

Other than that, it's not very useful.

It only works in person; it can fool people but not cell phone cameras. He has to concentrate on casting the spell on the target.

At first, it was used by one person, but after using it many times, I gradually mastered the knack, and now I can use it on up to three people at the same time.

Magic is fun, but if you use it to quickly turn money into cash, you'll have to start working on a sewing machine before you even make any money, or as soon as you do.

This is not the outcome he wanted.

Farming and raising chickens, needless to say, will not yield results in the short term.

Even Jin Lingmi couldn't think of a good way to monetize and make money.

We can't just sell this fairy honey as wild honey, can we?

He would be devastated.

But I can't tell others the truth about what kind of Golden Spirit Honey it is, that it contains spiritual energy that can calm the mind and nourish the body, and that it can also strengthen bones and promote muscle growth.

It's fine to fool your family, but if you actually use this excuse to sell goods or set up a stall, wouldn't you be considered crazy?

Forget about giving someone a demonstration of massaging their back on the spot; he doesn't want to be arrested as a fraudster or practicing medicine illegally.

It seems that the only thing left that has the best chance of making money is calming tea, so he has been paying close attention to this aspect these past few days.

The result was pretty good.

His own family, as well as his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, all said it was good after drinking it.

The Golden Spirit Honey tastes really good; it's so sweet it's refreshing, and it also has a delicate floral fragrance.

More importantly, this tea is also very effective.

He conducted a detailed experiment.

First of all, only the fruit tea he brewed himself, using honey and dried lemon as the main ingredients, can be called calming tea.

You can even add other ingredients when brewing tea, such as dried rose petals. As long as the main ingredients remain the same, the medicinal effects of the tea will not change.

However, if it's someone else, even if they use the same ingredients to brew tea, the results will be vastly different.

Secondly, calming tea also comes in different grades.

The best is fruit tea made by brewing Golden Spirit Honey, dried lemon, and diluted spiritual spring water.

After drinking this calming tea, I feel energetic during the day, as if I've been injected with adrenaline, and my concentration is high. At night, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Moreover, they can sleep soundly until dawn without having a single dream.

Yes, that's the culprit behind Ping An and the others wetting the bed (>ᴗ<).

The next level down is tea made by steeping golden honey and dried lemon in regular warm water.

Drinking this kind of calming tea will only help you sleep at night, and it's not as strong as the first kind. If a child needs to urinate, they will still wake up.

The worst way is to simply mix the honey with warm water and drink it. It will only have a slight energizing effect during the day, and basically no effect at night.

It's roughly the same as drinking tea or coffee.

Its only advantage is that it is relatively mild, so even if a child drinks it, it will not affect their normal sleep at night.

Currently, the first two options seem to offer the best chance of making money.

After all, this effect is much stronger than melatonin, sleeping pills, and the like, and it has no side effects at all.

In today's highly competitive society, and with young people often staying up late, there's definitely a high demand for this calming tea.

So now he's thinking about how to sell this great product.

Moreover, it must take a small-scale, high-end approach.

After all, the production of honey is limited now, and besides, he is a recent college graduate and doesn't have the capital to open a factory for large-scale production.

Therefore, we have no choice but to find another way to maximize our profits.

After sitting under the eaves for a while, Sun Ran took out his phone, opened WeChat, swiped to open a group chat, and started typing away...

"We currently have a special calming tea for sale. One cup of tea will help you sleep soundly until dawn. I've personally tested it and it works! Please contact me if you'd like to try it."

After typing a line of text, Sun Ran looked at the screen and read it aloud.

Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and snapped the send button to send the message.

Then I copied it again, closed the group chat, and opened my friend list to send it to a few more people.

Keep the general information the same, and then slightly change the wording according to the specific circumstances of the contact person.

He plans to first try promoting ordinary calming tea to see how well the market accepts it.

The first one he posted was from his college roommates' group chat.

Among the people behind him were some of his senior classmates from university, and some of his former classmates and friends.

Anyway, let's try to build relationships among acquaintances first, promote it on a small scale, and see how people react after drinking it.

So he didn't rush to set a price, but instead promoted the product under the guise of a trial period.

This will make it easier to adjust prices later.

Before he could even finish sending the message, his phone started beeping repeatedly.

When I returned to the friends list, I realized that I hadn't replied to anyone else's messages yet, but in my roommates' group chat, the number of unread messages in the upper right corner had already jumped to double digits in just a short while.

I opened the group chat and saw...

Silly Sculpture No. 1: Subway Elderly.jpg

Silly Number One: Selling tea? You haven't been around for so long, why are you suddenly selling tea?

Sand Sculpture No. 5: I don't have any other questions, I just want to ask, is this tea big, oh no, tender?

Sand Sculpture No. 4: Yes, same question!

Sand Sculpture No. 5: Oh, right, is this the new tea from this year? I don't want it if it's not new tea.

Silly Number Four: Same question +1!

……

Silly Number Three: Free trial? Then hurry up and give me a whole case!

Silly No. 6: Just wondering, can I take a whole truckload for free?

Silly Sculpture No. 1: Hey, if you've been kidnapped to the park, blink twice!

Silly Sculpture No. 4: (^_~)

Sand Sculpture No. 1: ...

……

Sun Ran's face darkened as he looked at the continuous stream of messages popping up in the group chat.

I don't need to ask these idiots!

They've really lost their minds!

"You bunch of brats, do you want more tea or not?!"

After typing the message, he pressed the send button and sent it out.

Not even a second...

Sand Sculpture Number One: I want it!

Sand Sculpture No. 3: Need +1

Sand Sculpture No. 4: Should we stop?!

Silly Number Six: My lord, I want it!

Silly Number Five: You cut in line upstairs!

Looking at the messages on the screen, Sun Ran sneered with a dark face and snapped the power button to turn off his phone.

Okay, so we'll have both?

I'll send them to you tomorrow!

We'll see if you want more after you've finished drinking!

Little brat, don't you know that free things are the most expensive?
