Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 338 If Xu Yue doesn't want to be famous, then he won't become famous.

Who is Xu Yue?

Yu Zhenhua shared a dormitory with him, so how could he not know?
This is a very capable person.

He's doing so well in Beijing, how could he possibly go back to his hometown to farm?

Even when it comes to farming, it's not ordinary farming.

He graduated from a prestigious university, after all.

Neither the way of thinking nor the knowledge can be simply about farming.

So what else can we do besides farming?
"Yes!" Xu Yue said, "We'll also do some aquaculture."

Besides planting, does Xu Yue also raise livestock?
This is not a lie.

In addition, they also engage in tourism development and environmental management.

Of course, he didn't intend to show off.

That's not necessary.

He's not that kind of person, and besides, he's not familiar with these people.

Or perhaps we're not familiar with each other anymore.

"Don't just talk about me, talk about yourselves too," Xu Yue said with a smile, looking at the Mu Chuan couple. "Of course, they are the main characters."

We arrived yesterday.

Zeng Yunyi smiled and said something, which meant that they already knew what they needed to know.

It's perfectly normal to be asked about your recent situation if you haven't seen a classmate or friend for a long time.

It just sometimes goes wrong.

For example, a class reunion.

Of course, this wasn't a class reunion.

Neither Yu Zhenhua nor Zeng Yunyi intended to show off.

Or perhaps they don't feel they have anything to boast about now.

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Tang Tang suddenly looked at Xu Yue and asked a question that left Mu Chuan and the others completely astonished.

Has Xu Yue practiced martial arts?

They really didn't know.

"I've practiced a few farming skills."

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised, but he nodded in response.

He didn't think Tangtang could figure anything out; she was probably just guessing.

She doesn't have that kind of discernment.

Xu Yue was not a martial arts cultivator to begin with. Now at the fourth realm, his aura was concealed. If he did not reveal it, let alone Tang Tang, who was at the first realm, even those at the second or third realm might not be able to tell.

Of course, perhaps it is precisely because Tang Tang's cultivation level is not high that she asked this question.

Perhaps it's related to her job; after all, she works as a sports agent.

Maybe it's a woman's intuition.

"Traditional martial arts!"

Tang Tang nodded, seemingly feeling both sentimental and somewhat disinterested.

Can traditional martial arts still be used in combat?

Yu Zhenhua suddenly asked a question.

In recent years, traditional martial arts have not had a good reputation.

“He can fight!” Tang Tang said, “but he’s not suited for competitive sports.”

"Why?"

Zeng Yunyi seemed intrigued and quickly asked.

“Traditional martial arts techniques focus on attacking the body’s weak points, which is prohibited in the arena,” Tang Tang said. “This undoubtedly puts shackles on practitioners of traditional martial arts. True masters of traditional martial arts would never stoop to competing in the arena.”

"But weren't those so-called traditional martial arts masters exposed as frauds?" Yu Zhenhua asked with some doubt.

Traditional martial arts have such a bad reputation, yet no real masters have stepped forward to vindicate them.

"What traditional martial arts master? He's nothing but a clown!" Tang Tang said. "A true master of traditional martial arts wouldn't be so high-profile. As for why I say traditional martial arts are effective, you'll know if you've ever watched underground boxing. Masters of traditional martial arts don't go to the competitive arena; they go to the life-or-death arena."

"You've seen underground boxing?" Yu Zhenhua asked, intrigued. "Are there places in our country where underground boxing is still held?"

"There are more in Southeast Asia."

Tangtang's statement was somewhat vague, but it indirectly acknowledged that such products also exist in China.

Xu Yue was not very interested in this.

The underground boxing ring is just an insignificant place in the underworld.

"Does a true master, when restricted in their actions, lose to someone who practices combat sports?"

Zeng Yunyi spoke up, seemingly thinking that traditional martial arts were effective, but not as powerful as he had imagined.

“Traditional martial arts masters don’t fight in the arena because they don’t want to be watched by crowds,” Tang Tang said. “I’ve seen two traditional martial arts masters fight. It was between two shipping companies fighting over a shipping route. They had previously hired mercenaries to fight several battles at sea, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Later, they decided to decide the ownership of the shipping route through a martial arts competition.”

Yu Zhenhua and Zeng Yunyi looked surprised.

How much prize money do you get for a fight?

Does it involve a flight route?
Can the appearance fee be low?
This is the kind of class and style that masters should have when they compete.

“Many people who practice traditional martial arts nowadays just practice routines, which are nothing more than fancy moves for performance,” Mu Chuan said. “Those who have mastered real skills and are truly proficient disdain to use them. Those who are not truly proficient dare not use them for fear of accidentally killing someone.”

"Have you mastered the skills yet?"

Yu Zhenhua looked at Xu Yue and said with a smile.

"Me?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "I'm very capable. I don't say I'm the best in the world, but I would never admit to being second best."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, clearly thinking that Xu Yue was joking.

Including Tangtang (a type of sugar).

"Eat up, eat up!" Mu Chuan said with a smile. "My wallet is limited, so I only ordered a few top-quality dishes. Don't mind."

The table was laden with dishes; it was quite a feast.

However, there are only three top-quality dishes.

One meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup.

Xu Yue didn't seem to notice anything, but Yu Zhenhua and the others looked surprised.

“It’s from Taoyuan Village. I’ve thought about launching this cuisine in my hotel, but I couldn’t find a way to do it,” Yu Zhenhua said. “If I could connect with Taoyuan Farm Trade and buy products from Taoyuan Farm, I could open hotels all over the three northeastern states.”

"Peach Blossom Farm? That Peach Blossom Farm that grows rice in the desert?" Zeng Yunyi said. "The internet says their vegetables are ridiculously expensive, is that true? And is it true that Xiao Ri Zi's vegetables are a thousand times more expensive than the market price?"

“Of course it’s true,” Yu Zhenhua said. “However, apart from Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel, very few restaurants can get the goods now.”

"Huh?" Yu Zhenhua suddenly looked at Xu Yue and said, "I remember you're also from Shuzhou. You're also involved in planting and breeding. Have you had any contact with Taoyuan Farm?"

“Yes!” Xu Yue said with a smile. “I’m quite familiar with Huang Liang from Taoyuan Agricultural Trade and Tian Yizhi from Taoyuan Farm.”

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenhua's eyes lit up.

We couldn't make contact before, but now we can, right?

“How could this be fake? This kind of cow tears easily, I wouldn’t be so bragging,” Xu Yue said. “If you want to buy things from Taoyuan Farm, I’ll talk to Huang Liang about it later, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

"Thank you very much!"

Yu Zhenhua was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat skeptical, mainly because Xu Yue spoke too casually.

But as Xu Yue himself said, this kind of bragging is easily shattered, so there's no need to exaggerate it.

Hearing him address Huang Liang by his first name instead of "General Manager Huang," it seems he is very familiar with Huang Liang of Taoyuan Agricultural Trade.

"What's your classmate's name again?"

Tangtang asked Muchuan, who was standing next to her, in a low voice.

"Xu Yue! What's wrong?"

Mu Chuan looked at Tang Tang with a puzzled expression.

"Xu Yue!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked over.

Xu Yue was no exception.

However, he did have some idea of ​​who he was; Tang Tang probably already knew.

"Your hometown isn't Taoyuan Village, is it?" Tang Tang asked.

"Yes!"

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

The Tang family runs a martial arts school, so they're probably part of the martial arts world. The general public had no idea about Peach Blossom Village before, and even if they did, they wouldn't think much of it.

There are definitely more than one or two villages with this name across the country.

What about now?
The desert farm has generated tremendous traffic among the general public, making many people aware of this village.

The village is beautiful, and there's a scenic area nearby.

The village also has fishing grounds, homestays, farmhouses, and a flower mountain that blooms all year round.

The village is full of fruit trees with blossoms, such as peach and plum trees, and the fragrance of the blossoms fills the whole village every March and April.

In addition, the vegetables grown in this village, as well as the chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep raised there, are much more expensive than those in the market.

Even the brewed wine is ridiculously expensive.

This is just the general public's impression of Taoyuan Village today.

But are they people from the martial arts world?
That Peach Blossom Village was a powerful force, a force that should not be provoked.

This is why Taoyuan Agricultural Trade and Taoyuan Farm, despite their astonishing profits, have attracted the attention of underworld forces.

The lessons learned from the Zhao family of Emei and Jizhou.

Moreover, Xu Yue is a very intimidating person.

Wang Junyi provoked him, and the Special Administration Bureau, together with him, wiped them all out.

The forces behind them never retaliated.

Not seeking revenge might be tempting due to conflicting interests, but the cost could be too high, making it a losing proposition.

However, this is not unrelated to Xu Yue's formidable strength.

The Little Red Dot Royal Family dispatched one fourth-realm and three third-realm warriors to attack them, but their entire army was wiped out.

With all the masters of the four realms falling into his hands, who in the martial world would dare to covet Peach Blossom Village?

Of course, the reason why Taoyuan Village is so famous is mainly because of its sudden rise to prominence.

Previously unknown, it has now, in a short period of time, become comparable to those established powerhouses.

It is said that Xu Yue has now broken through to the fourth realm.

When he was in the third realm, he killed a fourth-realm cultivator. Now he's in the fourth realm?
That would be even more dangerous to provoke.

Moreover, besides Xu Yue, there are several other people in Taoyuan Village who belong to the Three Realms.

"You're involved in planting and breeding in Taoyuan Village?" Yu Zhenhua asked. "You wouldn't happen to be the owner of Taoyuan Rural Village and Taoyuan Agricultural Trade Center, would you?"

Taoyuan Farmers Market may not be familiar to many people, and its popularity is limited.

But Taoyuan Farm is different!

It's very popular online now.

Vegetable prices, meat prices, fruit prices, and beverage prices
The rice sold from the desert farms alone is worth billions.

Other benefits were also incredibly impressive.

Therefore, many people have estimated how astonishing the net worth of the owner of Taoyuan Farm is.

The lowest estimate is several tens of billions.

And that doesn't even take into account the planting techniques involved.

What truly sets Taoyuan Farm apart is its planting techniques.

If rice can be grown in the desert, then planting other trees and shrubs to combat desertification would be a piece of cake.

Then how amazing would that value be?

If Taoyuan Farm were to go public, its market value would be absolutely astonishing.

While it might not make the owner of Taoyuan Farm instantly become the richest person in China, he would certainly be among the top earners.

This incredibly wealthy man is actually my classmate, and he's even having dinner with me?
"I guess so!" Xu Yue didn't deny it, saying, "Taoyuan Agricultural Trade also has shares in Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel. Taoyuan Farm will also be restructured, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the military will have shares then."

However, regardless of the circumstances, Xu Yue is undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

Calling him the boss wouldn't be inappropriate.

"Fuck!"

Yu Zhenhua couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He now understood why Xu Yue was familiar with the bosses of Taoyuan Agricultural Trade and Taoyuan Farm.

How could we not be familiar with each other?
She worked for him.

That's the relationship between the boss and the employee.

Yu Zhenhua had always wanted to introduce top-quality cuisine to his hotel, but he had never been able to find a way.

When we tried to recruit Taoyuan Commerce, they completely ignored us.

Yes, they just ignored it.

Not to mention him, even if a high-end catering company came to him, he ignored them.

Production is limited and cannot meet demand.

They rejected it all with just one sentence.

As for small-time operators like Yu Zhenhua who own several hotels, there's no need to even mention them.

Even global restaurant chains couldn't achieve their goals, let alone him.

Now, unexpectedly, the owner of Taoyuan Rural is actually his classmate and college roommate!

How come we lost contact after graduating from university?

If we had been in constant contact, things wouldn't have come to this.

Zeng Yunyi was also a little stunned, then suddenly realized why Yin Xue was getting promoted so quickly.

With only Taoyuan Village in his jurisdiction, it would be strange if he didn't get promoted.

"You're really quite low-key!"

Kikawa couldn't help but say something.

Xu Yue would never have told the truth if he hadn't been asked.

It's not that Xu Yue wanted to hide it, but rather that he didn't care at all.

It doesn't seem like something to brag about.

"Should I go around shouting about it?" Xu Yue said. "That won't do, will it?"

"If I had your wealth, I wouldn't feel safe going out without ten or eight bodyguards," Mu Chuan said. "But you came all alone. Although our country is very safe, it's impossible to completely eliminate [the threat]."

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

He dares to go out alone because he is strong enough.

He doesn't need bodyguards at all.

"It should be perfectly safe in China," Xu Yue said. "Besides, who knows who I am?"

That seems to make a lot of sense.

Xu Yue was low-key, and even his classmates didn't know him, let alone others.

"Let's be careful," Yu Zhenhua said. "With the Taoyuan Farm fire, it's not impossible that it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Your identity might also be uncovered by netizens."

Is it possible?

It's really possible.

However, Xu Yue had already given prior notice.

"We can't dig it out," Xu Yue said with a smile and a shake of his head. "Even if we did dig it out, we wouldn't be able to tell anyone."

Ok?
Yu Zhenhua and the others looked at Xu Yue with some surprise, but quickly came back to their senses.

Is it possible?
Very likely.

Xu Yue had previously mentioned the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the military.

Even if netizens dig up Xu Yue's name, the buzz will likely be suppressed.

Xu Yue doesn't want to be famous, so he won't become famous.

“You should be paying for this meal today!” Yu Zhenhua said with a smile, changing the subject. “It’s not because you’re rich, but because we really want to taste how delicious the food grown on your farm is.”

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed and agreed.

"They said it was fine, but for you two to agree is going too far," Xu Yue said. "I came all this way to your wedding, and you actually expect me to treat you?"

Everyone laughed again.

"Alright!" Xu Yue said, "This meal is on me. What would you like to eat?"

"Don't even think about it!" Yu Zhenhua said. "We've already eaten quite a bit, and you're only treating us now. Remember this meal, wait until we've eaten our fill before you treat us again."

Others echoed this sentiment.

They must have eaten a lot already; they couldn't eat much more, and that would be a huge loss.

"By the way, when are you going back?" Zeng Yunyi asked. "You should at least treat us to a meal before you go back, right?"
