I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 84: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow (200 additional chapters per subscription)

When interviewed in front of the camera, the middle-aged man who had just been intoxicated by Chen Ji’s new product immediately opened his eyes and came back to his senses.

He wiped the tears from his eyes, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry! This mung bean smoothie tastes so good that I couldn't control my emotions for a moment."

"Sir, you look like a man with a story! Can you describe to everyone what the new product tastes like?" Seeing this, Lin Leqian acted as if she had caught some explosive news and almost put the microphone into the old man's mouth.

Including the guests queuing behind, they all craned their necks to watch the interview.

Seeing so many eyes staring at him, the middle-aged man raised the enamel cup and began to talk: "People of our age were all very poor when we were young. Our parents had many brothers and sisters, and we didn't have money to buy snacks during normal times. During the summer vacation, we were sent to the countryside to live with the elderly at home."

"This Chenji mung bean shaved ice is icy, sweet and refreshing. Although I can't taste any sugar, the texture is really great! The aftertaste is sweet and refreshing, and it tastes like the mung bean soup made by my late grandmother."

“The more I eat, the more I want to go back to my childhood!”

Listening to this brother's on-the-spot evaluation, the onlookers present were in an uproar.

A mung bean smoothie is so delicious that it makes you want to cry. How delicious must it be?
Especially now it is hot outside, and the rising sun in the morning makes people's mouths dry.

After this middle-aged man's description, many people could not help but pursing their lips, just like the "looking at the plum blossoms and causing salivation" in the allusion.

Even before they even tasted the flavor, it had already aroused the appetite of many people.

The same goes for Lin Leqian, a loyal fan of Chen Ji!
She wanted to finish the interview early and queue up at the back of the line.

After all, as soon as Chenji Store No. 2 in Rui County opened, there was already a team of as many as four or five hundred people extending all the way back along Binjiang Avenue.

The taxi and bus drivers passing by even rolled down their windows and looked at the usually deserted Bund with surprise, discussing with the passengers in their cars: "What kind of store is this?"

“Why is the line so long?!”

"It seems to be called something like Chen Ji, and it's very popular in Vancouver!"

Those old customers who had originally planned to buy the secret roast chicken and leave, changed their minds one by one after listening to the comments of the middle-aged man, and ordered the newly-launched summer flavor of "Grandma's House/Grandma's House" from the cashier.

It was not until the green bean and red bean flavored smoothies appeared in front of everyone that everyone realized that the new items Chen Ji had just put on the menu were actually cold drinks for the hot summer days.

After more people tried these two smoothies, the icy, sweet and refreshing old-fashioned taste that made people want to cry spread from the front of the line to the back.

Especially those middle-aged veterans who are in their forties or fifties, once they taste this feeling, no matter if they are sentimental or not, they can't help but wipe away tears from the corners of their eyes.

The younger ones don’t understand what the old-fashioned flavor is, but after queuing up to buy this mung bean smoothie at RMB 28 a cup and trying it out, they also crazily liked, took photos and checked in.

As the team slowly moved forward, Zheng Bocheng, who was leading his wife and children, returned to the other side of the street where his best friends were gathered, holding a few enamel cups, and asked loudly, "Chen Jue! What on earth was added to this mung bean shaved ice?"

"How can you make someone cry because of eating so much? Tell me what the secret recipe is!"

Seeing this, Chen Jue explained with a bit of a smile: "It's not that cruel! It's because the ice cubes inside are frozen hard enough, and eating them irritates the tear sacs in the nasal cavity! It's the same reason as eating mustard or cutting onions and crying!"

When the best friends heard this unreliable explanation, they all showed an expression of "I don't believe it, you must have a secret recipe", and then they divided the enamel cups and started showing them off crazily under the sun.

……

As Chen Ji's several branches opened throughout Vancouver, the newly launched mung bean/red bean smoothies became a hit on the local Internet, just like the secret roast chicken that was popular all over Vancouver, due to the continuous spread of word of mouth.

Especially the unique retro enamel cup, which has become a check-in and photo-taking subject for countless socialites and young people.

Checking in with a retro enamel cup pointed at the "Chen Ji" sign has become a trend among local young people's circle of friends.

Because compared to that extremely expensive roast chicken, the price of 28 yuan per cup of mung bean smoothie is really quite "affordable".

Moreover, there is no sales limit for this thing. Each store supplies several large barrels every day until they are sold out. In order to highlight that his own products are not "IQ tax", Chen Jue also specially instructed Chen Ji's staff to display the high-end boutique beans bought from the supermarket in the store window as raw materials, so that customers can buy and eat with peace of mind.

This approach is similar to the previous live broadcast of the ecological chicken farm, which attracted unanimous praise from the guests.

As a result, the sales of this new product are booming and it has ignited the enthusiasm of diners as soon as it was launched.

It also brings a different wave of freshness and coolness to the hot summer in Vancouver.

……

That night, Chen Jue finished his busy work in opening the Chenji No. 2 store in Rui County.

After having dinner with Zheng Bocheng and a group of close friends, he took the store employees to have a simple celebratory supper and then took a bus back to the Rubik's Cube Factory overnight.

After several days of non-stop cultivation by several centipede transport ships, more than half of the soybeans at the Chencun farming base have entered the mature harvesting stage.

Looking at the fields of yellow soybean plants, Chen Jue did not waste manpower to carry out mechanical harvesting as usual.

Instead, he took out [water buckets] x N, placed a few rock blocks in various corners of the planting base, poured water on them, and a visible blue water wave washed towards the entire MC farmland.

The "biu~biu~" sound of seeds exploding continued to ring out.

Wherever the water flows, the mature soybean plants are broken into pieces, and then follow the water to flow and gather towards the center of the base.

This gameplay of pouring "infinite water" and utilizing the characteristics of water flow to harvest crops is a very normal operation in MC and can save players a lot of time.

So Chen Jue climbed up and down the layers of farmland, and used this tricky method to quickly harvest so many soybeans that they could hardly be stored.

Even his MC character level was upgraded to Lv13 unknowingly, stimulated by the massive amount of green experience particles brought by farming.

"I only need two MC diamonds to build an enchanting table."

"These experience points can be used at that time!" Chen Jue muttered in his heart when he saw this.

All the collected soybeans were packed into boxes and then transported to the Rubik's Cube Factory using mine carts. All 1 tons of soybeans were loaded into the cabin of Iron Man 001.

After declaring the route under the cover of night, Chen Jue sent a dozen iron golems with sailors' skin to drive the 10,000-ton bulk carrier all the way north.

First go to the Glazhovka Port in the Big Russian Hassan District to run the route to avoid being found out by the Maritime Administration that the cargo ship's navigation track is inconsistent in the future.

Although it seems unnecessary, in order to cover the soybeans produced by MC, it is not a big deal to run more than 4,000 kilometers from Rizhao Port to Grazhovka Port and back.

In front of Chen Jue's modified lithium-electric piston engine, this distance would at most consume the electricity generated by several tons of diesel.

After receiving the customs declaration documents sent by Alexei, Iron Man 001 successfully docked at Rizhao Port one night.

After that, various small and medium-sized bosses, under the call of the old merchants, gathered at the docks and competed to place orders for these MC soybeans marked with the Russian origin label.

After listening to the WeChat video report of the dog-headed military advisor who has been doing very well in Rizhao recently, Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh: "This profiteer villager! He is almost ruining the soybean business!"

Just as he was thinking about how to reasonably spend the more than 50 million in the Red Star Trading account, an emergency call came in.

When I picked up the phone, my cousin Li Fei shouted anxiously, "Cousin! Something big has happened! Someone reported it online and took a video saying that our Chenji roast chicken and cold drinks contain illegal addictive ingredients!"

"Right now, the food safety department and the Consumers Association are conducting surprise inspections at our company. They will also conduct random inspections at the factory and farms later!"
