America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

Chen An picked one.

This is irrigated with underground lithium-rich mineral water.

It is a variant variety that has been carefully cultivated in a constant temperature and humidity environment.

Without washing it, it was handed directly to Jessica's mouth.

"Try it. This is the top-quality fruit we're moving into next."

Jessica opened her mouth and took it in.

A gentle bite.

"Hmm!"

Her eyes widened instantly.

It doesn't have the slightly sour taste of regular strawberries.

The mouth is filled with a creamy, smooth texture and is extremely sweet.

The juice bursts in your mouth instantly, accompanied by a unique, delicate aroma.

"So sweet! It tastes like eating fruit candy!"

Jessica exclaimed in surprise.

"If this stuff were sold in Los Angeles, all those female celebrities who are on diets and can't eat sugar would go crazy!"

"A box of nine pills is priced at $88."

Looking at this vibrant white strawberry orchard, Chen An gave it a capitalist's price.

"We don't sell fruit, we sell 'edible luxury goods'."

"These white strawberries will be exclusively supplied to the Aurora Restaurant and high-end supermarkets."

He turned around and looked at the huge greenhouse.

"However, the current scale is not enough."

"I plan to invest an additional two million to import seedlings of Shizuoka melons and Sunshine Rose grapes from Japan."

"By utilizing the temperature difference between day and night and the special water source here, we can grow fruits that are sweeter than those from their place of origin."

That's the fun of farming/farming.

Using their advanced technology and capital, they transformed ordinary crops into gold mines.

Sarah stood to the side, watching Chen An's commanding presence with gentle eyes.

"Ann, if you really want to expand so many greenhouses... we might not have enough manpower."

"Although the security team members are strong, they really can't do delicate work like picking strawberries with their hands that are used to butcher pigs."

"Then we'll hire more people."

Chen An didn't hesitate at all, "This time we're recruiting professional agricultural technicians, as well as female workers to be responsible for harvesting."

"I posted a job ad in town, offering a salary 50% higher than the market rate."

"I want to make Titan Manor the company with the best benefits in all of Montana."

"Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow." Sarah took out her notebook and wrote it down.

………………

After leaving the greenhouse, Chen An went to the cowshed.

The cowshed has now been completely upgraded to resemble a five-star hotel.

A huge LCD screen hangs on the wall, displaying the body temperature, heart rate, and feeding status of each cow in real time.

The breeding bull, "Black Whirlwind," was lying on a specially made memory foam mat.

Enjoying the automatic massage, it lazily flicked its tail as it saw Chen An enter, as if to say hello.

"They're living a much more comfortable life than I am."

Chen An smiled and shook his head.

After several months of careful feeding, the first batch of experimental cattle is about to be ready for market.

Although there are only a dozen or so, this will be the key to testing whether the "Titan Snowflake Bull" can achieve legendary status.

"Boss, Katie just called."

Tie Tou ran over with his phone in hand. "She asked when the groceries for dinner would be delivered."

"She said if you don't send it over soon, she'll have to make carrots for the guests to eat."

Tell her to send it over right away.

"And... bring her two boxes of those white strawberries."

Chen An thought for a moment and added, "Also, tell her not to stay out too late tonight."

"I brought some good stuff, we're going to a restaurant tonight... for 'team building'."

"Team building?" Tie Tou's eyes lit up. "Boss, are we in?"

"you?"

Chen An glanced at the group of burly men. "Your team building activities will be held in the granary."

"I had Sarah prepare a whole roasted lamb and beer for you in advance."

"Tonight, the dining room is our family meeting place."

Tie Tou chuckled, instantly understanding.

It was evening.

The setting sun bathed the entire farm in gold.

Chen An had no other official business to attend to.

He took out a huge blueprint and spread it on the living room table.

This is a master plan of Titan Manor.

"Here," Chen An circled a piece of land with a red pen, which was a platform with the best view located halfway up the back mountain.

"I plan to clear out the trees there and build a real manor house."

"The real...main house?"

Sarah and Jessica came over.

"Yes. This wooden house is cozy, but it's too small and too old."

Chen An pointed to the blueprints.

"We want to build a big house like a European castle, or a modern mansion like Beverly Hills."

"There should be ten bedrooms, each with a floor-to-ceiling window and a private bathroom."

"There must be a heated swimming pool, both indoors and outdoors."

"It also needs a home theater, a wine cellar, a gym, and a banquet hall that can accommodate thirty people."

Chen An's pen sketched out a blueprint for the future on the paper.

"Of course, we'll also prepare a huge walk-in closet for each of you."

"Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to hang the clothes I bought in Los Angeles this time."

Jessica looked at the blueprint, her eyes shining brighter and brighter.

"Ann... how much will this cost?" Sarah exclaimed, somewhat speechless.

"Right now, the last thing we lack is money."

Chen An put down his pen and took Sarah's hand.

"Money only has meaning when it is turned into bricks and tiles, forming houses, and becoming something that makes our lives more comfortable."

"Besides, I don't want you to live in this old house anymore."

"If we want to put down roots here, we need to act like we are putting down roots."

This is a promise.

A promise about longevity, about the future, about home.

"I want to be the supervisor!" Jessica raised her hand. "Especially the swimming pool, I want to design it myself!"

"Granted."

Chen An smiled and pinched her cheek.

"But for now, let's put these designs aside."

Chen An glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.

"We're hungry, and Katie is still waiting at the restaurant."

"Tonight, I want to try making some desserts with these freshly picked strawberries."

"Let's go. Dinner's ready."

Life can be that simple sometimes.

Plant the seeds and wait for the harvest.

Then, at dinner time, share that sweetness with your loved one.

As for the storms and turmoil outside?

That's for tomorrow.

……

The Aurora Restaurant was enveloped in a soft amber glow tonight.

Although the restaurant had a "Closed" sign hanging outside, it wasn't deserted inside.

The firelight from the fireplace illuminated the exquisite tableware.

The air was filled with a sweet aroma of caramel, vanilla, and freshly baked pastry.

In the kitchen, the silver-haired figure in a pristine white chef's uniform was intently focused on the worktable.

Katie held a small pair of tweezers and carefully placed the last mint leaf on a delicate tart crust.

In the center of that crispy tart crust sits a whole, large, pearly white strawberry, known as the "Angel's Kiss."

"This is so beautiful..."

Jessica, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Don't get too close! Your breath will blow the frosting away!"

Katie waved the tweezers fiercely, like a little tiger guarding its food.

But when she turned to look at the plate of desserts, her eyes instantly softened and even became fervent.

"These strawberries... they're simply monstrous."
