After spending nearly a day together, although he couldn't quite understand it, Su Yi quickly realized something very serious.
That was that Yue Ling didn't seem to have the slightest bit of defensiveness towards him, especially when it came to issues between men and women.
If she were this unguarded with everyone, Su Yi wouldn't find it strange; he would just assume that creatures from another world were more open.
But she wasn't like that with other people.
Yue Ling was smart and could already understand some simple vocabulary.
However, whenever an outsider tried to strike up a conversation with her, even though she could guess what the person meant and only needed to nod or shake her head to express her opinion, she would always consult Su Yi first before replying.
She had no intention of getting to know or interacting with outsiders at all.
If he had to describe it, it was as if she regarded herself as Su Yi's personal property.
Su Yi wasn't sure why this was happening, but he guessed that it probably had nothing to do with the trading platform and was more like some kind of rule from their world.
Most likely, it was related to that Guardian Knight ritual that seemed quite formal at the time.
He couldn't very well ask Yue Ling about this, so he planned to ask Weiwei next time he traded with her.
Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing.
A charming and beautiful elf listens to your every word and has no defenses against you.
He wished there were more good things like this!
Apart from being a bit of a drain on healing spells, there were no downsides, okay?
...
Leaving aside some of the interactions with Yue Ling, Su Yi hadn't forgotten the main business.
After getting up, washing, and having a simple lunch, he took Yue Ling straight to a farm in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.
Weiwei wasn't in a hurry for the thousand tons of flour, and Su Yi also planned to let Liu Sheng and Li Wenyuan, those two idiots, stew for a few days, so he wasn't in a rush.
But the fruits, vegetables, and meat he had promised Weiwei should be arranged and sent over as soon as possible.
This batch of fruits, vegetables, and meat, along with the five hundred tons of rice he provided earlier, were all part of the transaction request Weiwei made during their first meeting.
The rice had already been traded, and the transaction points had been settled, but the fruits, vegetables, and meat hadn't been sent over yet, so the transaction wasn't complete.
The two of them hadn't agreed on a specific time; Su Yi had said that the fruits, vegetables, and meat would probably take some time to prepare.
The trading platform's points were calculated based on the real-time exchange of goods, and there were no rigid rules about a transaction having to be completed within a certain time frame.
Logically speaking, even if Su Yi dragged it out for ten or eight years, or even became a deadbeat and didn't give it at all,
Weiwei couldn't do anything about it.
But he was obviously not that kind of person; he generally kept the things he promised others in mind.
If he didn't get it done in time, he felt uneasy about everything.
Going out now was to solve this problem.
Meat was easy; Su Yi had a childhood friend whose family ran a restaurant, and he had gradually taken over the family business in recent years.
Getting a few tons of frozen meat from his channels was a small matter.
But fruits and vegetables, which were difficult to preserve for a long time, were not something he could get a few tons of at once, after all, the restaurant was only so big, and it wasn't a big hotel.
However, Su Yi did get the contact information of the owner of a large farm in the suburbs of Jiangcheng from him.
With someone to introduce him, things were naturally easier to handle.
He had already contacted the farm owner last night and arranged to meet this afternoon.
"Yuanfeng Ecological Farm, this is it."
After driving for nearly half an hour, Su Yi arrived at the farm located in the southeastern suburbs of Jiangcheng, not far from the Yangtze River.
He had looked at Yuanfeng Farm's information before coming.
It covers an area of about 5,000 acres, which not only grows various fruits and vegetables, but also raises livestock and poultry such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese. There is also a lake inside the farm, which raises various fish with high economic value.
It is a super-large comprehensive ecological farm.
It is said that the initial investment exceeded 100 million yuan.
If his childhood friend's family wasn't planning to cooperate with others to create a catering brand and open branches across the country, needing a stable supply of goods, it would have been impossible to get in touch with the owner of such a large farm.
And Su Yi's visit today was naturally not just for those few tons of fruits and vegetables.
With so little stuff, a boss with over 100 million yuan in assets wouldn't bother to meet him in person.
He wanted to talk about the acquisition of the farm.
Yuanfeng Farm was poorly managed, and coupled with the overall economic downturn in the past two years, it had long been on the verge of bankruptcy.
The owner also had other industries, and now he was also having a hard time, urgently needing funds to fill the holes elsewhere, so he had the idea of transferring the farm.
As for why Su Yi wanted to acquire a farm, it was naturally for trading with Weiwei.
After studying it, he found that all the grains, fruits, vegetables, and meat that Weiwei needed could be purchased on a large scale through the farm in a reasonable and compliant manner.
Fruits and vegetables go without saying, this stuff is originally the main commodity grown and raised on the farm.
As for grain, with a farm in hand, it would be too easy to reasonably purchase bulk grain.
Can't I buy it to feed livestock?
Why don't livestock eat feed and eat grain?
Don't you understand what ecological farming is!
It's my own business that the cost is high, I'm willing to lose money, is it your business?
Isn't grain-fed beef also fed with grain?
There's no problem at all, okay!
As for why so much grain is put into the farm but there is no output of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep fed with various grains.
Don't ask, ask and they died of plague.
It can be said that it is a logical closed loop, without any flaws.
In contrast, although the food processing plant he was more familiar with could also purchase a large amount of grain, it was not easy to get fruits and vegetables, and it was easy for people to find problems if these grains only went in and did not come out.
And if you get a hotel or restaurant, it is easy to get fruits and vegetables, but it is not easy to purchase hundreds of tons of grain at a time.
That's why you have to solve the problem from the source.
This ecological farm is the source!
Because he had contacted them in advance, as soon as Su Yi's car arrived at the entrance of the farm's office building, a young man in a suit greeted him enthusiastically:
"Are you Mr. Su? Please come in, our President Sun is already waiting for you in the office."
"My name is Zhou, I am the manager of the farm, you can just call me Xiao Zhou."
It was not difficult to see from his enthusiastic attitude that the owner of Yuanfeng Farm really wanted to sell the farm as soon as possible.
And this Xiao Zhou naturally behaved very diligently when receiving someone who was very likely to be the future boss.
The farm's office building was not very beautiful, and the layout inside was also very ordinary, but it was all cleaned very cleanly, giving people a very refreshing feeling.
Judging from the traces of cleaning on the ground, it was obviously specially cleaned up recently.
The big boss obviously wouldn't specifically arrange this kind of thing, so these were obviously arranged by this "Xiao Zhou" in front of him.
