Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 65 Mr. Tang Arrives

"Time sure flies." Han Qiwu chuckled with some emotion, watering the broccoli and green beans first before rolling up his sleeves to harvest the fruits of his labor.

With great enthusiasm, Han Qiwu selected the largest peanut plant, bent down, and exerted force from the base to pull it up.

"Hope it gives me a good start."

[A Portion of Peanuts] x3

"A Portion of Peanuts x3? What does that mean?" Han Qiwu took out the so-called portion of peanuts from the storage compartment.

After processing by the system, the peanuts in Han Qiwu’s hand were already clean, shelled peanuts.

Counting carefully, there were five shelled peanuts in one portion, with some containing four kernels and others just two. Gently peeling them open, each peanut kernel was round and very cute, with the milky white seed coat hiding a bright white nut inside.

Picking up two and popping them into his mouth, a delightful sweetness emerged with just a gentle bite. The fresh peanuts became finer the more he chewed, growing more fragrant with each bite.

They taste amazing.

[A Portion of Peanuts (Standard Quality)]

[Stamina +20]

[Health +20]

[Price: 100 Gold]

[Note: The greatest use of peanuts is certainly not for sale]

"A portion of peanuts equals five, which means this plant yielded 15 shelled peanuts, equivalent to 45 kernels—a decent harvest." Han Qiwu felt content; he wasn’t planning on selling these five peanuts. After all, the more than 200 kernels weren’t even enough for him.

If standard quality is this delicious, then wouldn’t a single peanut from a silver or gold star be able to accompany a pound of liquor?

Moreover, when he finds a way to extract oil, he can use the peanut kernels for oil and the remaining shells as fertilizer—it would be perfect.

After harvesting the peanuts, Han Qiwu turned to harvest the potatoes.

Potato plants were slightly taller than peanut plants, making them a bit easier to dig up.

[Red Skin Potatoes] x2

Double Potato Boom.

Striking while the iron was hot, Han Qiwu pulled out all the other potatoes in one go.

From five potato plants, he harvested a total of twelve potatoes, each larger than the next, with even the smallest one bigger than Han Qiwu’s palm.

[Red Skin Potatoes (Standard Quality)]

[Stamina +40]

[Health +20]

[Price: 120 Gold]

[Note: Potatoes have hundreds of ways to eat]

"It’ll take 15 more days for the green beans to be ready, and until then the field needs to be planted." Han Qiwu pondered his next planting strategy as he looked at the earth in front of him.

So far, the returns on potatoes and peanuts seemed pretty good. Seed packs costing 50 to 60 Gold could fetch over 200 Gold once matured.

As long as he expanded the scope, the profits would be substantial.

Just right that Han Qiwu’s maximum stamina had increased to 150, allowing him to water over a dozen more plants each day.

"Might as well buy fifty seeds to plant. I have enough tangyuan anyway, and the lowest yield from fifty seeds would be at least seven to eight thousand. In ten days, I can have a bumper crop!" Han Qiwu planned it all out perfectly.

Just as Han Qiwu was about to buy seeds, he suddenly stopped.

"Wait, why do I only have 41 Gold left?"

I’m so poor.

After carefully reviewing his transaction history, Han Qiwu sighed.

"Looks like I’ll have to rely on selling fish to buy seeds today."

When he got back last night, Han Qiwu was so exhausted that he completely forgot to toss the fish into the selling box.

"I have to buy the seeds today, or it’ll waste a day. In that case, ignore the fishing guide for now; I’ll sell everything at the transaction point this afternoon after fishing."

Having made up his mind, Han Qiwu dropped ten potatoes into the selling box, then walked inside the wutong tree.

"Chirpy chirp chirp"

The four little chicks gathered eagerly by the small door, impatient for playtime outside.

"You guys are clever." Han Qiwu opened the little door to let them out.

There was no choice; he didn’t have money for feed either.

Han Qiwu glanced at his woodstock count: [Wood] x68.

Initially, he had 118 wood, but the new storage box used up 50.

Still, even if he hadn’t made the storage box, he couldn’t have visited Gongshuzi to make a feed box.

The reason was simple.

No money again.

The feed box cost 2000 Gold!

Han Qiwu looked fretfully at his crammed storage compartment.

Lots of goodies, no money.

"Time to go fish!"

Oh ocean! Bestow upon me your bounty!

As his thoughts were preoccupied with earning money, Han Qiwu didn’t even bother picking wild fruits, heading straight to the ocean.

At the dock, Han Qiwu suddenly remembered he hadn’t watched TV yet.

"Ah, so much to do, I’ll catch up tonight."

Finding a good spot, as he installed bait, he realized he should have saved some cave worm meat bait to try fishing in the sea. Who knows, maybe he could catch some special fish.

"What a mistake, remember for next time."

Han Qiwu shook his head and cast his line, feeling like his fishing skill was about to level up.

Roll up the sleeves and work hard!

...

Under the sunshine, the breeze rippled across the ocean, echoes of which touched both the coast and Han Qiwu’s heart.

"Why hasn’t Mr. Tang arrived yet?"

Glancing at the time, Han Qiwu decided to sell some fish at the trading point as today’s catch was rather average.

After all, his mind was a bit unsettled.

At the trading point, Han Qiwu tried tossing a rockfish into the water.

[Through the trade, you receive 230 Gold]

Han Qiwu: "????"

This stuff is worth so much???

Han Qiwu then tried selling a stonefish.

[Through the trade, you receive 260 Gold]

"They’re all worth this much!"

Han Qiwu suddenly felt elated.

Didn’t realize I was this wealthy; what’s there to worry about?

Leaving aside two stonefish and one rockfish, Han Qiwu threw the rest into the trading point to sell.

[Through the trade, you receive 2697 Gold]

Counting the earlier ones, Han Qiwu now had a total of 3228 Gold.

He had enough for the seeds, but still short for the feed box.

Oh well, let’s keep grinding!

Just then, the sound of an engine came from the direction of the fisherman’s house. As the engine stopped, Tang Qingying stepped out and immediately spotted Han Qiwu, who was enjoying the breeze.

"Han Qiwu, perfect timing, come over and help me with these," Tang Qingying’s voice rang out from the top of the fisherman’s house.

Tang Qingying’s bright voice instantly lifted Han Qiwu’s spirits.

"Sure thing!" Han Qiwu agreed enthusiastically, carrying his fishing rod as he walked up.

As long as there’s this ocean, I’m the richest!

Beside the trunk, Han Qiwu watched as Tang Qingying pulled out a big bag packed with various ingredients.

Beef, tripe, potatoes, bean sprouts, tofu skin, tofu puffs...

"Mr. Tang, what dish are you planning to make?" For a moment, Han Qiwu was confused—could the two of them eat so much?

Tang Qingying flashed a mysterious smile and proudly shook out a packet of spicy butter hot pot base from the trunk.

"Do you want stir-fry hot pot or hot pot? I can make both!"
