Future Planning

Luo Mu's eyes lit up. He had been waiting for this.

Compared to being an outsider and searching himself, or relying on the experiences of bloggers from other regions with different climates and environments, directly consulting a local professional was the most suitable approach.

Luo Mu stated frankly, "To be honest, I'm a bit unsure about the selection of the first batch of crops for my farm, which is why I thought of visiting Jones Farm to learn from you."

Peter blinked, a look of realization dawning on his face. He had wondered why Luo Mu, a fellow cultivator, was casting curious glances at the fields they had passed. So, he was somewhat of an amateur.

Perhaps it was just a rich young master playing around, Peter didn't quite understand the minds of the wealthy.

Maintaining a smile, Peter patted his chest as if to say, "Leave it to me." He said, "You've come to the right person. The boss and his wife sent me to survey that plot of wasteland when they first noticed it. So, I know that the soil there is basically the same as ours at Jones Farm. You can basically grow anything we can."

Peter led Luo Mu, Pepper, and Master Dogue to an orchard, where fruit trees bearing the most common and in-demand Orange Fruits and Peach Fruits were planted.

Pepper looked curious. After receiving Peter's permission, he, accompanied by Master Dogue and the fruit farmer in charge of the area, experienced the joy of harvesting fruit.

Luo Mu stroked the slightly rough bark of the Orange Fruit and Peach Fruit trees, looking up. An Orange Fruit tree, with its lush branches, bore about a hundred Orange Fruits.

Luo Mu recalled that a normal quality Orange Fruit was about 20 League currency. After testing, the highest quality Orange Fruit wouldn't exceed 100 League currency.

He wondered about the price of the Orange Fruit saplings, as well as their growth and harvest cycles.

Luo Mu looked at Peter and voiced his questions, waiting for an answer as Peter pondered.

Peter deliberated for a moment. Logically, he shouldn't be giving too much advice to a competitor of his farm. According to his bosses, he should only provide some general, common-sense direction.

However, Luo Mu seemed to be a rich second-generation heir playing at farming. His farm likely wouldn't impact Jones Farm's sales, so he wasn't a significant competitor. Moreover, the information he was asking for could be found online with a little effort. It was better to build goodwill.

Peter's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "Both Orange Fruit trees and Peach Fruit trees cost one thousand League currency per sapling. The harvest cycle varies between one and a half to two and a half months, depending on the specific variety after selective breeding."

"However, you need to note that most fruit trees take two months to grow before they start bearing fruit. This means if you choose to plant saplings, you'll have to wait at least three and a half months, including the sapling's growth period."

"If you transplant already grown fruit trees, you won't have to wait. You'll see fruit next month."

"Of course, this is because the fruit contains abundant energy. For ordinary fruits and vegetables, there aren't as many restrictions; they generally mature in one to two months."
