Chapter 141 (continued)

In response, Zhou Yan suggested. "The land in the village cannot be bought or sold, and there is already a high-end restaurant in the village. It would be a bad thing for other restaurants to come to the village and create huge competition. I suggest choosing the town."

Qing Mengzhu: "That makes sense. Do you have any suggestions for a specific location?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I actually did look into it before. If you're interested, how about we go take a look together tomorrow?"

Qing Mengzhu nodded. "Can you spare some time tomorrow?"

Zhou Yan: "Yes, we can go this afternoon. It won't take long."

Ming Chunxi took a day off to help with the site selection for the restaurant.

So the next afternoon they drove together to town.

Led by Zhou Yan, they drove to the western part of the town.

Qing Mengzhu rarely comes here and is not very familiar with the situation here.

He only discovered this time when he drove here that the scenery was very nice. There were many farmhouses and agritainment restaurants along the roadside—restaurants serving fish, chicken, and goose. Most of them mainly served farm-style dishes cooked over a wood fire, and the number of customers seemed quite good.

Zhou Yan, familiar with the area, led them to a large courtyard. After getting out of the car, he said to them, "This is the place I came to look at before. It covers three and a half acres, the decoration is nice, and the layout is reasonable. You can take a look first."

Qing Mengzhu nodded. "Let's see."

Qing Mengzhu and Ming Chunxi followed Zhou Yan to knock on the door.

Soon someone opened the door and greeted them warmly. Judging from the content of the greeting, the gatekeeper clearly knew Zhou Yan.

Qing Mengzhu and Zhao Hexi went inside and found that the interior was indeed very well decorated, with a small artificial lake, clearly indicating that a lot of money had been spent on it.

Because this place used to be a farm, the kitchen is very well equipped, and there are no problems with fire safety or other aspects.

If they buy this farm, they won't even need to make many changes; they can just tidy it up a bit and apply for a business license.

Qing Mengzhu was unsure. "Can this farm be bought and sold?"

Zhou Yan nodded. "Yes, it's commercial land, and it's changed hands several times already."

Qing Mengzhu in surprise, "It's changed hands several times?"

Zhou Yan laughed, "Such a large farm isn't something just anyone can manage. But for us, it'll definitely be no problem."

Qing Mengzhu touched the clean windowpane. "Is the price also quite high?"

Zhou Yan: "Yes, if it weren't for its high price, someone would have already taken it over. Even with a discount, it's still over 100 million. If you really want it, we can discuss it further. But I suggest you buy it. The location, the decor, and the scale are all excellent. As the flagship store, it should be qualified."

Qing Mengzhu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhou, you seem to have a high opinion of our economic strength."

Zhou Yan: "Hahaha, I just wanted to bring you guys here to take a look. Whether you buy or not is up to you."

They carefully looked around the farm.

Qing Mengzhu looked at the farm more and more and thought it was really nice. Putting everything else aside, the building and decoration materials were all of good quality, especially the flowers, plants and trees used for decoration outside, each one of which was quite expensive.

Qing Mengzhu is very knowledgeable about plants. She can see the whole picture from a single spot. Judging from the plants, this farm is indeed very good. The details are well done, and the price offered by the farm owner is not expensive.

This area is still part of Vine City, so the property prices here won't be low.

Qing Mengzhu pulled Ming Chunxi to sit in the small pavilion, while Zhou Yan went to chat with the person who opened the door, leaving the space to them.

Both of them fell into deep thought, and they both knew that they were interested in the farm.

Qing Mengzhu played with Ming Chunxi's fingers. "It seems Brother Zhou has been planning to go solo for a while now; this farm is most likely one he found for himself."

Ming Chunxi: "It should be, but this is indeed a great farm. With such a large scale, it might not be easy to find a farm of the same size later."

Qing Mengzhu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou is very optimistic about the future of our catering group."

Ming Chunxi: "Since we live in the same village, he's quite aware of our revenue."

Qing Mengzhu: "If we're going to buy it, we need to consider the company's assets. We'll have to consult a law firm to see how to proceed."

Zhou Yan owns 10% of Zhuxi Catering, so this farm certainly can't be simply attributed to the company.

Ming Chunxi: "Don't worry, they're experienced."

Qing Mengzhu: "We still need to discuss the price. I'm not very good at this, so you should find someone to negotiate it."

Ming Chunxi: "Okay, I'll find a suitable person."

This farm is really great, and they shouldn't be under any pressure to acquire it now.

Before leaving, Qing Mengzhu looked back at the magnificent farm and thought to herself, if nothing unexpected had happened, their catering business could have started here.

It's true that money makes you a force to be reckoned with, no matter what industry you enter.

There's still a lot to work out regarding the farm and restaurant. It's already late February, Qing Mengzhu plans to hurry up and meet this month's sales targets.

He is currently a mid-level member of the Star-Rated Mall, and his monthly sales target is 100,000 Star Coins. He is still short by more than 30,000 Star Coins, and he plans to use tomatoes, peppers, and bamboo shoots to make up the difference.

So Zhao Hexi arranged for company employees to help pick the tomatoes and peppers and transport them continuously into his yard.

Qing Mengzhu set up a grass shredder in the yard, selling tomatoes and peppers to the Interstellar Mall while simultaneously crushing the tomatoes and peppers that had been absorbed by the Interstellar Mall into small pieces, mixing them with EM bacteria, and then transporting them to the pond for composting.

Everyone knows that his family is used to composting the best vegetables, and they still feel bad about it, but there are no objections anymore.

Those familiar with his company know that while his fertilizer costs are high, its effects are much better than those on the market, making it a high-input, high-output product.

Qing Mengzhu was chopping tomatoes and peppers as he sold them; he could process 30,000 Star Coins worth of tomatoes and peppers in just two days.

After completing the sales target, he transported all the chopped vegetables to the composting site and washed the ground clean before checking his personal center.

Qing Mengzhu sold over 101,000 Star Coins worth of vegetables this month, and her personal Star Coins balance reached an astonishing 176,000 Star Coins. This was even with their continuous spending; if they hadn't spent, their savings would have been even greater.

With so many Star Coins in her account, Qing Mengzhu didn't hesitate to open the product search and buy another Soil Fertility Restoration Agent.

He bought the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent that he had won in the lottery.

This Soil Fertility Restoration Agent costs a whopping 31,888 Star Coins, but one Soil Fertility Restoration Agent can restore the soil of thirteen acres.

If he buys another Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, the soil in his field will be basically fully restored.

He had previously used Soil Fertility Restoration Agent on one acre of land, and after a period of testing, he found that the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent was indeed very effective, and the benefits of using good soil for breeding were also very obvious.

This is such a good thing, I definitely need to get my hands on it if I have Star Coins.

After Qing Mengzhu purchased it, the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent was waiting for him to retrieve it in his personal center.

He clicked into his personal center, intending to withdraw the money immediately, but to his surprise, the entire Interstellar Mall suddenly popped out of his phone, unfolded in front of him, and floated in mid-air.

When Qing Mengzhu saw this change for the first time, he was startled. When he looked more closely, he found that the mall had notified him that his spending had reached 100,000 Star Coins, and the Interstellar Mall would be upgraded, and the Mall Assistant would also be upgraded to Intermediate Mall Assistant.

The Interstellar Mall also specifically noted that this upgrade requires 24 hours of Earth time. During this period, the Interstellar Mall will be temporarily unavailable. Please be patient.

It can even be upgraded!

Qing Mengzhu was dumbfounded.

He also plans to have Ming Chunxi participate in the lucky draw once the spending reaches 100,000.

The online store had already announced that customers who spent over 100,000 yuan could enter a prize draw.

The prizes they had won before were all pretty good, and there were quite a few nice things in the prize pool for spending over 100,000 yuan. He was really looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, the Interstellar Mall went for a temporary upgrade!
