The villa hall was already very lively, with all the dining tables full and people still waiting outside. The stoves and barbecue grills provided for tourists were insufficient, so many opted for ordering food.

This also made Qin Lin decide that besides implementing crowd control measures, the villa needed to be expanded. Otherwise, the customer experience would be too poor.

Walking to the back of the kitchen, two tables had been set up inside.

Master Lin was already serving dishes to the tables.

With more employees, this area had been converted into an employee cafeteria. Naturally, the staff had to take turns eating. After all, there were too many tourists. Generally, management ate first before going to relieve staff at important posts, allowing employees to come and eat.

Gao Yaoyao and Chen Dabe were particularly excited and a bit impatient today because Qin Lin had given Master Lin a 35-jin wild grass carp to cook for everyone.

They had never eaten such an expensive, large fish before, so how could they not look forward to it?

"Linzi, where on earth did you get so many big catches?" Qin Ren followed behind, already rubbing his hands, his eyes shining.

He still remembered the taste of the one Qin Lin sent to his home last time. Looking at the braised grass carp, he was already eager.

"Just eat yours!" Qin Lin didn't answer.

Such large catches were indeed very rare. Take crucian carp, for example; large catches over 10 jin were discovered only once or twice a year.

His, however, came from the game, yielding one or two per day.

Therefore, he also tried to control the number of large catches. Otherwise, the quantity would be astonishing. There was still a school of them in the game's pond.

Others couldn't even get a taste, while he had more than he could eat.

Eating these privately or entertaining people like Chen Shengfei, who wasn't short on money, would make them feel honored.

Qin Ren didn't stand on ceremony, grabbing a bowl and attacking the plate of wild grass carp.

"Boss, this fish is too delicious, I'm going to bite my tongue off." Gao Yaoyao exclaimed as she ate. The fish, with its +2 texture and +2 deliciousness, was clearly the first she had ever tasted.

Master Lin reminded her, "Little girl, what are you shouting about while eating? Hurry up and finish so others can eat. It's busy outside."

"Got it." Gao Yaoyao playfully stuck out her tongue.

After finishing lunch, Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabe again, "Right, after you finish eating, go to the wholesale market and post a notice saying our villa will be wholesaling some fruits and seafood daily."

His villa already had quite a few tourists, forming a stable sales channel. He didn't need to personally go for wholesale; the wholesalers would rush to deliver to his door at low prices, just like when he went to RT-Mart before.

"Okay, boss!" Chen Dabe hastily swallowed a mouthful of fish and replied.

As expected, as soon as Chen Dabe posted the notice at the wholesale market, a fruit wholesaler and a seafood wholesaler found their way to the villa that afternoon.

Qin Lin recognized the fruit wholesaler; his name was Lin Chong.

He had been sourcing his fruits from this supplier for his previous fruit shop.

The seafood wholesaler was a middle-aged man.

"So this villa belongs to President Qin." Lin Chong's face lit up when he saw Qin Lin. "President Qin, we're old acquaintances. Please continue to patronize my business."

"President Lin, as long as the price is right, we will definitely continue to cooperate," Qin Lin also smiled, having had a good impression of Lin Chong before.

The middle-aged seafood wholesaler also said, "Hello, President Qin. My name is Wang Wei. I have many types of seafood available. Besides delivering to your door, I can also offer a slight price reduction."

"President Wang, let's talk then." Qin Lin shook hands with him.

Although he wouldn't make much profit from wholesaling these items, he was unwilling to spend more money if he could get them at a lower wholesale price.

Next, Qin Lin discussed the details with the two of them. He had been in the fruit and vegetable business before, so he was very clear about fruit wholesale prices. He had also checked the wholesale prices for seafood, so the suppliers couldn't take advantage of him.

Both offered him a price lower than the market rate, which he accepted, and they finally signed contracts.

Starting tomorrow, Lin Chong would deliver over ten types of fruits to the villa, with quantities to be determined based on future demand. Wang Wei would also deliver farmed fish, crabs, large prawns, and other seafood that tourists could easily handle to the villa daily.

From now on, catching wild fish in the fishing pond would depend on luck.

Evening.

The okra in the game had ripened again. Qin Lin sent this batch of ripe okra to RT-Mart and brought 10 jin of Quality 2 okra to President Chu, thanking him for the free advertising time via the outdoor video. He also mentioned that he would no longer be sending okra in the future.

After all, selling to RT-Mart for only 6 yuan per jin while selling at his villa for 15 yuan per jin meant he would prioritize selling at the villa if he could sell it all.

"President Qin, it seems I'll have to come to your villa to eat this special quality okra from now on." President Chu held the 10 jin of Quality 2 okra as if it were a treasure.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "I'll always welcome you, President Chu."

After leaving RT-Mart, Qin Lin headed straight for the seed store. By not supplying RT-Mart, the okra grown in the future would naturally be supplied to the villa.

However, excluding the 6 plots that were consistently used to sell in the game for game currency, the other 24 Level 1 plots could yield over 3000 jin of okra daily. Even with the popularity of okra, the villa wouldn't need that much.

Therefore, he planned to plant something else.

For example, yams. The current market price was no less than okra, selling for 5 yuan per jin.

And broccoli. Broccoli is harvested from March to July, and it was now an off-season vegetable. The market price had started to rise in the past couple of days, only slightly cheaper than okra.

He planned to allocate some land to specifically grow broccoli and yams, which he would then sell at the villa for 15 yuan per jin, just like the okra.

When he returned to the villa, it was still bustling with activity. It wasn't until dark that the day's statistics were tallied: a total of over 600 tourists had been received.

This was an astonishing number of visitors for any villa. It demonstrated the power of online promotion. Naturally, the Bougainvillea Sea he had created also had game attribute bonuses, which was the main reason.

Night.

Qin Lin returned home. Seeing him back, Lin Fen asked with concern, "Xiao Lin, how has the villa been these past two days?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Mom, business is great right now, don't worry!"

Lin Fen suddenly suggested, "Xiao Lin, why don't I go help out at your villa? After eating the crucian carp you brought back, my health has improved so much."

Qin Lin frowned, "Mom, the villa has employees, why would it need your help?"

"Xiao Lin, I get bored staying at home all day," Lin Fen said stubbornly. After her health improved, she didn't want to stay home all the time.

Unless her son had a grandson for her to look after!

Seeing his mother's stubborn look, Qin Lin felt helpless. He couldn't possibly change his mother's mind. He knew she was someone who couldn't sit still. If he didn't agree, she might just run to the villa herself tomorrow, and if he didn't let her go, she might even get upset.

Qin Lin could only appease his mother for now. It was truly troublesome.

The next day, he woke up.

Qin Lin immediately looked at the light screen in his mind.

The Okra, Yam, and Broccoli were all mature.

He controlled his game character to harvest them, planted new seeds, and then entered the game. In the storage room, he saw the harvest information:

Quality 1 Okra yielded 900 jin, Quality 2 Okra yielded 4 jin.

Quality 1 Yam yielded 420 jin, Quality 2 Yam yielded 2 jin.

Quality 1 Broccoli yielded 380 jin, Quality 2 Broccoli yielded 2 jin.

Qin Lin then looked at the remark information for the Yam and Broccoli.

[Yam: Quality 1]

[This is a special crop with nutritional benefits. Improves physique +1, Strengthens spleen and benefits stomach +1, Nourishes kidney and benefits essence +1.]

[Yam: Quality 2]

[This is a special crop with extremely potent nutritional benefits. Improves physique +2, Strengthens spleen and benefits stomach +2, Nourishes kidney and benefits essence +2.]

[Broccoli: Quality 1]

[This is a special crop with nutritional benefits. Clears blood vessels +1, Combat diabetes +1, Promotes bowel movement +1, Nourishes kidney and benefits essence +1.]

[Broccoli: Quality 2]

[This is a special crop with extremely potent nutritional benefits. Clears blood vessels +2, Combat diabetes +2, Promotes bowel movement +2, Nourishes kidney and benefits essence +2.]

"????" Qin Lin had chosen these two vegetables based on market prices, but looking at the remark information, why did it feel a bit off?

Nourishes kidney and benefits essence?

Nourishes kidney and benefits essence?

Why did both of them have these effects specifically?

It seemed there was a reason these two vegetables were expensive.
