Chapter 299 - A vision (2/2)

“Aunt, your skin type is oily, so you should not emphasize on the oiliness of your skincare products. I know of a brand called Qilao, its perfect for oily skin treatment.”

“Qilao? There’s such a brand?”

“Yep, I can order one for you online later. Besides using skincare products, you should take more rest and refrain from burning midnight oil as it is very harmful to women’s skin.”

“Yup, Siying’s right, I haven’t sleep before 11 p.m. all these years.”

The two women quickly made acquaintance and started chatting enthusiastically, which left Xiao Zhiyuan and Xiao Luo idling aside.

The father and son decided to s.h.i.+ft to the balcony and chatted under the dark sky.

“That girl’s pretty decent, you should keep her.” Xiao Zhiyuan said.

Xiao Luo felt awkward to answer him, so he planned to play dumb by keeping quiet.

“What’s going on with you, how could you manage to beat up Xiao Chaofa and his brothers all on your own?” Xiao Zhiyuan asked curiously, he knew better than anyone about his own son, since when he became such a ferocious fighter?

Xiao Luo laughed fakely, “I had practiced free boxing over the year while I’m out of the village.”

Of course he would not say that he had been fused with a system, his father would think that he had went nuts had he said that.

“What kind of free boxing is so powerful, you could shatter a boulder with just a punch?” Xiao Zhiyuan was still unconvinced.

“Everyone was exaggerating, I am not that almighty.” Xiao Luo scratched the back of his head and smiled unnaturally.

Xiao Zhiyuan nodded and agreed, the people in the village must have overexaggerated the issue. So he did not continue this topic further, but changed to regarding the farm, “What’s your plan for the farm after the new year?”

“I plan to build a small farmhouse that encompa.s.ses leisure, dining and accommodation altogether.” Xiao Luo spoke about his plan seriously.

“A farmhouse?”

Xiao Zhiyuan shook his head, “Who would want to visit such a rural place like ours.”

“There are people from big cities as the general trend of developments is leaning towards the rural area. As long as we advertise, we’ll receive customers from every corner. Don’t forget that there’s an expressway toll station three kilometers away from the farm, the transportation would become convenient as long as we fix the dirt road into wide cemented road.” Xiao Luo said.

Xiao Zhiyuan frowned, “If we’re really running a farmhouse, your mom and I would not be able to take care of everything.”

“Dad, listen to me, since we are moving towards a farmhouse, then we ought to reduce on what we are rearing now, such as pigs and ducks. These two kinds of livestock are tiring yet their profitability is uncertain. If the market rate is good, we could earn more; else we might even make losses. This is the main reason why our farm has been running for seven years but it’s not successful.”

Xiao Zhiyuan could not help but nod, even though he would not like to admit, he had to accept this truth. It was indeed like what Xiao Luo said, the market rate for ducks was good this year, it could be sold for seventeen bucks per catty. However, there was a major influx of foreign ducks last year, so the market rate took a huge plunge to ten bucks per catty or even nine bucks per catty, which had made their hard work went down to the drain completely.”

“If it’s for leisure purpose, we would need some attractive programs, I have thought of a few, the first one would be hiking.”

Xiao Luo said slowly, “The farmhouse is located right at the foot of Mount Luo, which is known for its beautiful scenes. It’s also full of primitive and lush forest, we could attract the hiking enthusiasts by fixing a hiking path on the mountain. Secondly, we could widen and deepen our existing pond and add some fis.h.i.+ng podiums to its surrounding, it would become a very suitable place to fish. Thirdly, we could make fis.h.i.+ng lobsters our selling point. The lobsters could reproduce easily and they require very little effort to keep, we just have to buy a few hundred of them and leave them in the water source of the farmhouse, we could get a ginormous amount of lobsters within half a year, the fourth program would be…”

Xiao Zhiyuan became more mesmerized as he listened, he realized that his son’s vision was far more perfect than his expectation, he had covered the details and operations fully. He was also very ambitious as he planned to cover the entire city or even nationwide, as compared to his own plan that only covered the small town.
