It's said that three women make a play, but how can just two women, Wang Yan and Taohua, be enough for one?
Lu Fan's head felt twice its size. He turned to leave. However, Taohua called out to him again, "Little Fan! Don't go, I still have something to tell you."
"Sister Taohua! What else is there?" Lu Fan asked.
"We now have incubation equipment, and the supply of wild eggs is a bit insufficient. So I want to use this equipment to hatch local free-range chickens, then select the pullets to raise on the back mountain. Let them... well... with the wild roosters... and then our chicken farm can quickly expand its scale!" As Taohua spoke, her eyes kept sending sparks to Lu Fan. Thinking of the wild roosters... Taohua felt inexplicably excited, her little face turning as red as a rooster's comb. She also wanted to have a little rooster!
"This method works, go ahead and do it! Just tell me how much money you need!" Lu Fan nodded. He understood now. Whether it was wild mountain chickens or their second generation, the main reason they became tastier was because they ate his feed. So, if Taohua wanted to do it, she could. There was no need to worry about sales to the several large hotels.
Moreover, only after the Bufan Mountain Wild Vegetable Cultivation and Planting Base developed further could he consider more sales channels.
"Little Fan! If this is okay, then you can use this method to raise pigs! You have two boars among your nine wild pigs! Hee hee!" Taohua suddenly said with a giggle.
"Uh... that's a good idea! I'll go talk to Uncle Lao Wai." Lu Fan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat seeing Taohua's mischievous smile. This was originally a good way to get rich, but from this young woman's expression, it felt like she was about to commit a crime!
"This brat..." Seeing Lu Fan hastily escape, Taohua couldn't help but stomp her foot. Why did this kid have no reaction at all? Hmph!
...
"Mr. Lu! I... I want to discuss something with you!" At noon, the driver Xiao Li came to Lu Fan's house.
"Xiao Li! Tell me what's on your mind!" Lu Fan immediately asked Xiao Li to sit down and said.
"Mr. Lu! The amount of our wild vegetables and peaches is increasing, and my one car is already busy running to the county town and several hotels in the provincial capital. I wanted to ask if we could add another car." Xiao Li said somewhat cautiously.
"Of course, that's possible! And our volume will be much larger in the future, so we will definitely need to add cars. Since you brought it up, and you know about cars, you can be responsible for this matter! Also, if you have any experienced drivers around, you can introduce them." Lu Fan nodded.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu! Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I promise I'll handle it well." Xiao Li was immediately overjoyed. He actually had a good friend who had been looking for a job, and this was a rare opportunity.
Seeing Xiao Li leave, Lu Fan rode his motorcycle to the town, bought a lot of food, drinks, and daily necessities, and then went directly up the mountain.
He had taken all the jade from the wild people, and he should fulfill his promise to improve the living conditions of the wild tribe.
Rushing all the way, when he arrived at the wild people's cave, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated. He saw the scruffy old Daoist sitting on the ground with the wild people, feasting! He didn't know how this guy had gotten so friendly with these wild people. It seemed he had found all the food Lu Fan had stored for them, and was even drinking beer.
"Senior! I want to know how you tricked them into trusting you?" Lu Fan asked the scruffy old Daoist, who was gnawing on a chicken foot and drinking beer, with a black line on his forehead.
"Heh heh! There's nothing in this world that can't be settled over a drink!" The scruffy old Daoist gave Lu Fan a sideways glance and continued to drink the wine in his hand.
"Alright! You're right!" Lu Fan shook his head. He really didn't understand why this guy, if he was so capable, dressed like this. He had every opportunity to take the wealth of the Luoyan Sect for himself and become a rich and powerful figure.
Yet here he was, fighting for food with the wild people.
He took out all the things he had brought, and the dozen or so wild people immediately became overjoyed and danced with glee. They followed Lu Fan, learned how to use some daily necessities, and stored some food in the cave.
"Senior! With such a large fortune, if you just gave away a little bit, you could live an incredibly luxurious life. Why do you dress like a beggar!" Lu Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Kid! Do you think I want to live like this? Some things aren't as simple as wanting to do them. When you touched the stone tablet of the Luoyan Sect, you alerted the Shensuan Sect. When you touched the jade in this mountain, you attracted the Yan family. All of this has a cause and effect." The scruffy old Daoist said.
"Senior, can you really divine the future, understand human affairs, and know the will of heaven?" Lu Fan suddenly stared at the scruffy old Daoist with wide eyes. He was truly surprised that such a capable person actually existed in the world.
"Don't look at me like that. I won't teach you these things. The so-called heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, and if they are revealed, one will suffer heavenly retribution! Therefore, no one from the Tianji Sect has a good end. So, I won't let you get involved with these things.
My grand-master said you are favored by heaven, and everything is arranged by fate. You must not use such methods to take shortcuts." The scruffy old Daoist said immediately.
Lu Fan stuck out his tongue. The scruffy old Daoist said he was favored by heaven again. Thinking about it, it made sense. All the wealth he possessed now seemed to have fallen from the sky. He was indeed very lucky.
"Kid! Keep this for me. But you absolutely cannot look!" The scruffy old Daoist suddenly took out a small wooden box from his embrace and handed it to Lu Fan.
"What is this?" Lu Fan asked, confused.
"Don't ask, you just can't look." The scruffy old Daoist continued to drink his wine as if nothing had happened.
*Swish...* Lu Fan put the small wooden box into his storage ring.
Lu Fan gave the dozen or so wild people some food, drank a bottle of beer with the scruffy old Daoist, and then went down the mountain.
Watching Lu Fan descend the mountain, the scruffy old Daoist's expression became solemn. He threw the wine bottle aside and got up to walk into the cave. The dozen or so wild people were all drunk, lying on the grass asleep. Only the two leaders of the wild tribe stood up and followed the scruffy old Daoist.
In the deepest part of the cave, the scruffy old Daoist and the two wild leaders jumped into the deep pit. *Slap...* The scruffy old man reached out and slapped the stone wall. With a rumbling sound, a heavy stone door suddenly blocked the cave entrance.
*Splash... splash...* Suddenly, the sound of flowing water could be heard. After a moment, *swish*, an opening suddenly appeared in the space above, and *whoosh...* a figure fell from above, hitting the ground with a *bang*.
"Kill..." The two wild leaders suddenly leaped up, swinging their hammer-like fists towards the person who had fallen to the ground.
