[Happy Muggle, is it delicious?]

[Super delicious, one bite at a time, so satisfying! Even I, who don't usually like zongzi, unknowingly ate a whole skewer.]

I love their pickled bamboo shoot and hazelnut chicken soup. I originally planned to go there for the soup, but I ended up receiving zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). Now, their zongzi has replaced strawberries as my second favorite.

[They only give them to people who eat at the farm? Don't they give them to members? I'm a member of their community agriculture program, and I don't think I received any.]

[Become a Monkey Tomorrow? Zhuxi Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.. and Zhuxi Farm seem to be two different companies.]

[Are the owners the same? I see both companies use this name.]

[Become a Monkey Tomorrow? I guess they don't give freebies to members. Their zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are really delicious, the kind of deliciousness where you can taste the real ingredients. If they were to use another brand, a single zongzi would cost at least 30 yuan or more, the cost would be too high.]

[Over 30! From the pictures, it looks like a rice dumpling that's only slightly larger than a longan, are they really that expensive?]

[QAQ, I'd be willing to buy 31 zongzi if they were selling them, but their incredibly kind and beautiful manager said they're only offering them as free gifts this year, and not selling them for the time being. I've been eating at their farm for three days straight just for their zongzi.]

[Me too, I wanted to book a private room today, but the staff told me they were fully booked. There have been so many people dining there these past few days; the queue is incredibly long, and the staff even tried to turn us away. In the end, they gave us a small gift and invited us to come again, so we left.]

Zhuxi Farm was already very popular, but because of the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), it has become even more popular locally these past few days.

Qing Mengzhu and the others all came across the related posts.

Zhao Hexi placed her phone on her lap, peeling and eating a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), and said, "Seriously, I wanted to go to a restaurant yesterday to have a meal and chat with Brother Zhou. Even Zhao Linling, such a shrewd and charming girl, couldn't find me a table. In the end, Brother Zhou dragged me to the kitchen, and we found a corner to eat in."

Qing Mengzhu: "Business has been quite good these past few days."

Zhao Hexi popped a small rice dumpling into her mouth. "What's so great about it? It's absolutely amazing! There are tons of people queuing up outside, no wonder Brother Zhou and the others have been getting off work later and later lately."

Qing Mengzhu: "You reminded me, we need to give everyone a bigger bonus this month."

Zhao Hexi immediately raised her hand. "We need one too. The workload has been heavy this month, and everyone has worked very hard. We need a bonus to motivate them."

Qing Mengzhu readily agreed, "Then send them all out."

While they were talking, Qing Mengzhu was handling the small onions under her hands.

These scallions are exceptionally thin, with stalks as thin as threads. Zhao Hexi hadn't noticed before, but after a closer look, she recognized them and asked Qing Mengzhu, "These must be Ezo scallions, right?"

Qing Mengzhu nodded. "The batch I planted myself was managed better, and it grew faster."

Zhao Hexi squatted down to examine it closely. "I must say, it really does smell quite fragrant, not as pungent as regular scallions. It should taste good wrapped around grilled meat."

Qing Mengzhu looked up at him. "Do you want to eat barbecue?"

Zhao Hexi: "I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it, but now that you've brought it up, I'm actually craving it. Grilled pork belly, grilled cartilage, grilled beef, grilled chicken feet—speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had grilled chicken feet. I really liked that barbecue restaurant we used to frequent; their grilled chicken feet were especially tender and flavorful."

Qing Mengzhu also remembered that shop and was just thinking about finding some time to go there for some skewers when her phone suddenly rang.

Qing Mengzhu hates all kinds of sales calls. The people who call are all contacts who have exchanged phone numbers with each other, and they probably have something important to say about it.

He gestured to Zhao Hexi to say they would talk later, and then answered the phone.

Zhao Hexi didn't mind and continued peeling and eating the zongzi, while also observing the scallions that Qing Mengzhu had cut off. She even reached out and plucked a scallion and put it in her mouth to taste it.

Unexpectedly, after Qing Mengzhu answered the phone and exchanged a greeting, her next words were. "Who? Who went bankrupt?"

"That's explosive!" Zhao Hexi looked up instantly, her eyes wide like saucers, staring unblinkingly at Qing Mengzhu.

Qing Mengzhu, disregarding the situation with Zhao Hexi, continued speaking to Di Xing, "Brother Di Xing, I don't quite understand."

On the other end of the phone, Di Xing patiently explained, "... He's not bankrupt yet, he's on the verge of bankruptcy. He's about to file for bankruptcy, so he wants to see if he can dispose of any valuable assets before filing, hoping to avoid bankruptcy altogether."

Qing Mengzhu: "Wait, isn't that Aiersi you mentioned, his family is in the restaurant business?"

Qing Mengzhu and his team had shipped goods to several foreigners, and he knew that these foreigners were all in the mid-to-high-end catering business.

Later, the big data platform also recommended related videos and articles to him. Several restaurants that bought his tomatoes and peppers became popular due to the improvement in the quality of their dishes—of course, it could also be due to the other party's good marketing.

Based on the data, those restaurants shouldn't have gone bankrupt.

Di Xing: "His family does everything, not just restaurants. This time, the problem lies with another business."

Qing Mengzhu: "I understand, so what does he want to sell me?"

Di Xing: "Are you interested in durian trees?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Huh?!"

Zhao Hexi, who was listening nearby, immediately perked up her ears even more.

He had originally planned to go to the fields after eating the zongzi, but now he has completely cancelled his plans and intends to eat the melon first.

Qing Mengzhu glanced at Zhao Hexi and asked Di Xing on the other end of the phone, "Brother Di Xing, are you talking about the durian tree? The durian we eat?"

Di Xing: "Yes, it's a Golden Pillow durian tree, a six-year-old seedling, about to bear fruit, and the quality is very good. I guessed you'd be interested, so I asked you first. If you're not interested, I'll ask others in the industry."

Qing Mengzhu seemed genuinely interested. "Where are the durian trees now? Are they in China? Can they be imported?"

Di Xing: "It's not here, but the application has been submitted and the formalities are almost complete. If you want to buy it, it can be shipped back anytime."

Di Xing revealed to Qing Mengzhu that Aiersi had put in a lot of effort to acquire these durian trees.

Now that his family is on the verge of bankruptcy, he has no choice but to abandon his original plans and intends to sell off the assets he can to see if he can keep the family afloat.

Di Xing also emphasized that if Qing Mengzhu were to buy it, she might not be able to get a particularly low price; it would only be a bargain. However, this batch of Golden Pillow durian trees was definitely a good deal, and buying them would not be a loss.

Qing Mengzhu hadn't considered planting durians before, and upon hearing this, asked, "Approximately how many saplings does he have now?"

Di Xing: "A little over ten thousand. He said if you buy them, he'll sell them for ten thousand, and he'll give you the extra two hundred or so saplings."

Upon hearing this, Qing Mengzhu couldn't help but exclaim, "So many saplings! Is he planning to build a huge orchard?"

Di Xing: "Yes, we've been planning for a long time and found a suitable location. If you're willing, you can take over his desired orchard. It seems we've already negotiated a price, and the rent for the orchard is low."

Qing Mengzhu: "I have no plans to expand the industry overseas for the time being. Even if we were to grow crops, I would probably do so domestically."

Di Xing: "The situation is quite good domestically too, with lower policy risks. Provinces like Y Province and Q Province have imported a lot of durian seedlings and have started producing durians, but they haven't made a name for themselves yet."

Qing Mengzhu had heard about it. "Haha, I've heard about it. How about this, Brother Di Xing, have him send me a copy of the relevant information about the durian trees, the customs approval documents, etc., and I'll get back to you after I've reviewed them. By the way, what's his approximate quote?"

Di Xing: "I'll send it to you in a bit. The price is probably around 1,000 per seedling. I don't think I can get much off the price; this is the market price, considering they're seedlings that will bear fruit soon. Please consider it as soon as possible; they're in a bit of a rush."
