Chapter Thirteen: Zhao Zhao

  These people were all strangers and didn't recognize each other at all. Yuan Xi sized them up for a moment, but didn't say anything, and turned to enter the farm.

  He stepped in with his front foot, and those few people followed closely behind him.

  The long worker Xiao Wu, who was in charge of miscellaneous tasks, came over to greet him. He looked like he had been waiting for Yuanchuan here. When he saw Yuanchuan, he quickly said: "Uncle Wang went to the planting area early this morning and said you were coming. Let me take you there."

  Yuanchi nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had made a special effort to get up early, but still ended up late. This time he remembered the time, and tomorrow he wouldn't let people wait again.

  At this time, the six people from before also came over. The young man in charge spoke loudly and coarsely: "Little Wu, who is this?"

  Xiao Wu saw the young man first stunned, then smiled and said: "Zhao Ge, how did you come?"

  The young man called Zhao Ge looked at Yuan Xi, stared at Xiao Wu and threatened: "I'm asking you a question, just answer it, why so much nonsense!"

  Xiao Wu's mouth twitched, how unlucky he was to run into this troublemaker... But for now, there was no room for complaint. He mustered up his spirits and said: "This Mr Yuan is a friend of our boss, he's here as a guest."

  "What's with the surname Yuan?" The young man furrowed his thick eyebrows and glared at Yuan Xi, "You're thinking of taking over the farm, aren't you?"

  Yuanchuan still wasn't clear who this Zhao brother was, but it didn't matter. The transfer procedures for the farm had all been completed and there was no possibility of any mistakes now. He would have to take responsibility sooner or later, so why not seize this opportunity...

  Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yes, I'm Yuan Xi, the new owner of Qinghe Farm."

  As soon as he spoke, Xiao Wu was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He was anxious because of Zhao's hot temper, who had practiced martial arts and liked to show off his skills, and often did bad things with a few young people.

  He had been eyeing Wang Qingnian's farm for some time, but with his temperament, no matter how much money Wang Qingnian would not be able to hand over the farm to him. And Wang Qingnian was not a pushover either, after so many years of operation, he had many connections in his hands and did not dare to provoke him too much.

  But Yuan Xi was a newcomer, and Zhao Zhao had a careless personality, so it was natural for him to vent his anger.

  As expected, Yuan Xi said so, and the young man with the surname Zhao was furious: "Say that again!"

  Yuanyu smiled and said it again, especially emphasizing the tone to the new master. This is simply a bare provocation.

  Xiao Wu was shocked, he was afraid of being implicated and also feared that Yu Xi would get beaten up and he would have to take responsibility. Seeing the tense situation, his sharp eyes caught sight of his colleague Li Ren, who was quick-witted and immediately understood the situation, turning around and running towards the breeding area.

  I hope Wang Qingnian can come over as soon as possible and nothing big happens...

  On the other side, Wang Qingnian was waiting for Yuanchuan, but he didn't wait for him to arrive. Instead, he received a message brought by Li Ren. As soon as he heard it, he immediately got angry. This stinky brat actually dared to cause trouble on his turf, what a damn bastard!

  He put down what he was doing and got on the car, hurrying to the door. Thinking of Yuanyu's small build, and then thinking of the proportion of people, Wang Qingnian became even more worried. If he were injured here, how could he explain it to Yuan Yucheng!

  The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he was, Wang Qingnian wished he could fly over immediately.

  Unfortunately, even with a car, this journey is really far. Wang Qingnian regretted not arranging more people to be thrown at the door, to see who dared to come and cause trouble!

  Regretting and rushing at the same time, he finally arrived at the entrance. Wang Qingnian shouted angrily: "Zhao Zhao, you rascal, what are you doing?"

  He originally thought that with this shout, Zhao Zhao, this stinky little brat, would definitely not dare to take action, but unexpectedly he actually clenched his fists.

  Wang Qingnian got even angrier, and Yuan Xi's small body took another punch, which must have been very painful.

  He's only regrettable that he's no longer young, his legs aren't as nimble as before. If it were like the old days, with one flying kick, he would have kicked that stinky brat Zhao Zhao flying.

  It's just a pity that he can only watch from afar now, but as he takes a closer look... it seems like something is off?

  The car was running very fast, Wang Qingnian got off the bus and encountered a scene that left him stunned.

  Zhao Zhao that little rascal actually knelt down with a thud in front of Yuan Xi, shouting loudly: "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"

  Wang Qingnian: Σ(°△°|||)︴ What's this rhythm?

  Looking at Yuanxi again, her big eyes narrowed, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and there was not a single wound on her body. She calmly asked: "Convinced?"

  Zhao Zhao raised his head, with a sincere expression: "I give up! I completely give up! It's the disciple who doesn't know Mount Tai and dares to challenge the master, it's really deserving of a beating, a severe beating!"

  Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Zhao's face, which was a mix of blue and purple, and suppressed a smile as he asked: "Who said I'm your master?"

  Zhao Zhao's face was full of surprise: "Master, Master, you can't abandon me! Your martial arts are unparalleled, your chivalrous spirit is renowned throughout the land. A great person doesn't hold grudges against a small person, take me in and teach me! I also want to be able to casually knock them down like that!" As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, vividly demonstrating his moves.

  Listening to him was hilarious, and Yuanxi couldn't help but laugh: "You've been watching too much TV drama."

  After finishing speaking, Yuanxi didn't pay attention to him anymore. Seeing Wang Qingnian rushing over, he quickly said: "Uncle Wang, it's nothing, don't worry."

  Wang Qingnian only then carefully took a closer look, this was truly beyond his imagination. Yuan Xi was indeed fine, but Zhao Zhao and his gang of young hooligans were the ones who were in trouble. The five youths following him were all rolling around on the ground, wailing and crying. Zhao Zhao had also taken a few punches, but he was thick-skinned and resilient. Although he was now covered in bruises, he didn't make a sound, and was still licking his face as he followed behind Yuan Xi's butt, afraid that Yuan Xi would abandon him. The way he looked, it really seemed like he wanted to 'pledge allegiance and learn from him'.

  When Wang Qingnian came over, Xiao Wu's previous gloomy expression was swept away in an instant, replaced by a face full of excitement. He leaned in close to Wang Qingnian and said with uncontainable enthusiasm: "Boss, you didn't see it! Yuan Ge is really something else! With just one hand, he grabbed Zhao Ge's incoming fist, and then with another burst of strength, he actually flipped that big lummox over! My god, that power isn't just for show!"

  Xiao Wu continued to gesticulate excitedly: "Then with a quick turn of the body, a spinning kick sent all five people who were pouncing on him flying to the ground, absolutely swift and efficient!"

  Zhao Zhao, the victim, was also adding fuel to the fire on the side. He had a big head and a face that looked fierce, but his mouth was very agile. In order to please Yuan Xi, he used all sorts of adjectives, leaving Yuan Xi, an ungraduated graduate student, in awe.

  The farce ended like this. Zhao Zhao drove away the five young men who were rolling on the ground, and followed Yuan Xi with a smile.

  Wang Qingnian and Zhao Zhao's father had some connections, so he didn't drive him away. Yuan Xi and others with sharp eyes also saw some clues, although Zhao Zhao was a tyrannical and hot-tempered person, but he hadn't done anything excessive. Well... that three-legged cat's empty shell, wanting to do something but lacking the capital.

  A group of people got on the bus, Zhao Zhao learned that Yuan Xi was following Wang Qingnian to learn how to manage a farm, so he immediately volunteered: "Master! My family is also doing this, and we have some experience. If you need anything, just tell me, I'll make sure to do it beautifully."

  Yuanchi's mouth twitched and he threatened: "Call me Shifu again, I'll beat you up!"

  Zhao Zhao said seriously: "This is not a fight, this is an examination. Disciples should be ready at all times."

  Yuán Xī: ……a martial arts enthusiast who has been hurt beyond recovery……

  "Hey, who hasn't been through a rebellious phase? Thinking this way, Yuanxi just let it go. But Wang Qingnian gave Zhaozhao a slap on the head: "You little rascal, do you still remember what's going on at the farm? You're always out causing trouble, when did you ever follow your dad to learn about managing the farm? You're such an unfilial son, if I were your dad, I would have beaten you so badly you wouldn't be able to leave the house."

  Wang Qingnian said so, Zhao Zhaoli stood up with his neck stretched out and shouted: "Uncle Wang, you can insult me as a person, but you cannot insult my ideals! My ambition is not here, I want to practice martial arts, join the army, become a regular army of the Federation, serve the Federation, and guard the Silver River!"

  "What the hell!" Wang Qingnian suddenly cursed, "You practice martial arts, you join the army, you defend the Federation, but you're just leading a bunch of hoodlums to wander around on Blue Island?"

  This sentence hit Zhao Zhao's weakness, he shrunk his neck, stole a glance at Yuan Xi, and said in a low voice: "I... I... am accumulating actual combat experience, aren't I?"

  This big blockhead, yet his mouth is so poor, Yuan Xi couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

  Jian Yu Xi smiled, and Zhao Zhao couldn't help but get excited again, plucking up the courage to shout: "I've found my master now, I definitely won't go around messing about anymore, I'll definitely focus on learning my skills!"

  His yell completely made a car full of people burst out laughing.

  Zhao Zhao usually had a dull expression, and when others dared to laugh at him, he would dare to fight them. But this time, he actually felt a little embarrassed.

  A group of people chatted and laughed, before long they arrived at the planting area. Everyone got off the car, Wang Qingnian and Yuan Xi walked in the front, Zhao Zhao touched his nose and followed behind, and a few workers fell to the very end.

  Without Zhao Zhao interrupting, Yuan Xi humbly asked Wang Qingnian for advice.

  Managing a farm, Yuanyi is inexperienced, but overall it's much simpler than before. After so many years of change, humans have made great progress in many places, and farming is no exception.

  For example, genetic modification of crops, wheat thousands of years ago, one mu (about 0.165 acres) yield of 1,000 catties (about 500 kg) has made farmers overjoyed, and now, the yield per mu of wheat has reached 5,000 catties (about 2,500 kg), and the yield per mu of rice has also increased by more than six times. Not only that, but many years of evolution have also led to the emergence of many new varieties.

  They are like big rice grains the size of soybeans, wheat that looks like grapes, and even a type of fruit that is actually white-faced crops... However, these mutated crops also have many disadvantages. Because they are too large, their nutritional value cannot keep up, or they are particularly delicate to plant, with high costs, making them unsuitable for promotion, etc., all sorts of problems.

  What's more, another change that made Yuanxi very happy was that the maturation cycle of crops had been greatly shortened. Because Blue Island is a planet with a constant temperature, its orbit is similar to that of Earth, with twelve months in a year, but it has four mature seasons.

  On average, a batch can be matured every three months, and with the several times increase in production, Yuan Xi deeply realized that in this society, having land is truly the key to being free from worries about food and clothing.

  After passing through a large wheat field and then crossing the rice paddy, which together occupy two-thirds of the cultivated area, Wang Qingnian told Yuan Xi: "All these have been taken care of, just waiting for harvest in a month's time. It won't go wrong basically. Come, I'll take you to the back to take a look."

  Another third of the planting area was planted with things that were quite inconceivable to Yuan Xi, an ancient man.

  The author has something to say: Cough, cough... This time's protagonist is really not a weak chicken, can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, can fight outside and take care of children inside... Hehehe.
