Chapter 1102

The tricycle soon arrived at the riverbank where the biting cold wind was blowing.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sun isn't very good today either. The cattle and sheep don't like to come out to wander and are staying in the warm room at this moment. The riverbank is vast and empty, with only the cold wind blowing the river water, making a lonely sound.

However, empty doesn't mean no one is guarding it.

As soon as the two walked into the riverbank area, two sheepdogs rushed out quickly. Seeing that they were carrying buckets, their ears flapped up and down with excitement!

But how could they be called sheepdogs otherwise?

These two, Xiao Shi and Shi Yi, were extremely cunning. Seeing that there was food, they didn't call their companions first, but instead circled around them, fawning and trying to get a head start to eat a few more mouthfuls.

But, soon, the two smart dogs discovered that this wasn't their food bucket. They looked at the heartless Song Tan, sniffed Lu Chuan, and lazily lay back in their doghouse.

And at this moment, the voice of Wu Lei's good friend had already come from the room:

"... Oh my, Auntie! Why would I say Wu Lei is so steady in his work? It turns out you are the one coordinating at home!"

"The current environment is not good, and the pressure of starting a business or working for others is very high. We choose to start steadily from the aspect of food, which is truly grasping the trend!"

"Our young people nowadays, even if they wear ten-yuan slippers, have to taste hundred-yuan meat. This is the true philosophy of 'food is the people's heaven'!"

"As long as our cattle are raised well and free-ranged steadily, don't worry, Auntie. You don't even need to let our cousin worry about selling them. The few large supermarkets I own can sell one head a day for you without a problem!"

Just hearing these two sentences, Song Tan breathed a sigh of relief—her mother was right, this is truly a rare and reliable good friend. No wonder she wanted to save face for Wu Lei's friend.

Looking at the bucket she was carrying and the few pieces of pastries Lu Chuan was holding, it was truly the right thing to do!

Thinking about this, she knocked on the door: "Auntie, I brought you something delicious!"

The next moment, it was Zhang Chen who ran over to open the door: "How did you know I was still watching Qiaoqiao's live stream this morning! Awesome! Too awesome!"

He had probably been holding it in for a long time, and at this moment, a series of words poured out:

"Our Qiaoqiao is truly born to be a big star! Just saying a few words, the suspense he hooks, and the atmosphere he grasps are just right!"

"And it's not stiff at all, it's very natural. I saw people tipping him tens of thousands in just one morning. Sigh, by comparison, my and Wu Lei's vision wasn't very good before. That someone, that Zhu Liye, is much stiffer than Qiaoqiao when doing live streams."

Song Tan was impressed—what a nimble tongue!

No wonder that even though they were rivals in love, they could make Wu Lei bring him home crying after just one meeting. Sending these good things from home was truly not a loss.

Therefore, she became even more enthusiastic:

"Come, come, come, this is the rice noodle Qiaoqiao made on the live stream this morning. Auntie and the others have been guarding this place very attentively and couldn't be invited over, so I simply brought all the food here."

"You should taste more too, don't be polite!"

Seeing Auntie walk over, Song Tan simply handed over the two buckets and, while turning her body to the side, introduced the person behind her to everyone:

"By the way, Auntie, you didn't get a good look at Lu Chuan yesterday, right? This is my new boyfriend. The pastries here were made by him personally, I brought them over for you to taste."

Only then did everyone see Lu Chuan standing at the door.

In an instant, the room fell silent.

Uncle stammered and couldn't speak, and Auntie, who was always nimble, stood frozen in place, stuttering: "Oh my, oh my... I was too busy yesterday, I couldn't help much and didn't look carefully... how did... how did..."

She was incoherent, obviously wanting to ask how they suddenly started dating, and how they started dating? What channel?

Looking at her own single, silly son again, and comparing him to others—sigh, better not mention it.

Only Zhang Chen was energized. At this moment, he first looked at Lu Chuan in amazement, then turned his head to ask Song Tan:

"Cousin, we are family, does your boyfriend have any single sisters? Look, can I do it?"

He puffed out his chest and said bluntly: "You've seen me, I still have some advantages. I only look at appearance when I fall in love, I'm not too picky about inner qualities, and I'm very easy to coax."

Song Tan:...

Good, good, good! When it comes to "not being a stranger," the Song family combined can't compare to this one person!

It's just a pity...

"He doesn't have any." Song Tan answered for Lu Chuan.

Zhang Chen was very regretful.

However, his emotions came and went quickly. He soon brought them into the room and hurriedly asked: "Cousin, since you're here, listen to whether my proposal just now is right."

Auntie went to cook the rice noodles, and the silent Uncle and Wu Lei, who hadn't spoken, listened silently to Zhang Chen's plan:

"They only plan to raise five or six cattle next year. You also know that these aren't the kind of beef cattle tied in a pen that don't move a step all day, they don't reach the market that fast."

"It will take a year or two to see the money come back. And only getting back a few tens of thousands, I feel it's not worth it, so I'm thinking of just raising more at once."

"If you don't have enough money, I have some here."

"You should also know that I'm not waiting for this money, and you can use it for a few years without any pressure."

This statement does have some truth, and it's not insincere. However, raising cattle is Uncle's future career, so Song Tan didn't want to interfere and just asked curiously:

"Uncle and the others aren't willing, right?"

Zhang Chen nodded—although he looks like he has nothing to do every day, his family has been doing business since he was a child, and he has some of his own philosophies from being influenced by what he saw and heard.

That is, since you've made up your mind, let go and fight, go do it!

If you get through the temporary difficulties, you will always see greater returns. As for the fact that you can only earn a few tens of thousands after a year of hard work, he can't figure it out.

Nowadays, the three of them wouldn't earn less than this even if they went out to work!

But this businessman's philosophy is very different from that of cautious farmers, so Uncle naturally couldn't agree.

It's just that this person is Wu Lei's good brother, and he has good intentions, so it's inconvenient for them to say some things.

Just in time, Song Tan came over.

She smiled slightly, turned her head, and asked Lu Chuan, who had become quiet again after greeting them:

"What about you? What do you think?"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment: "Better listen to Uncle."

Although he hasn't raised cattle, he knows that the assets of rural families are hard-earned and are not enough to support them in taking risks.

"Raising cattle is also a matter that requires care. Uncle and the others are raising them for the first year, so they still need to be meticulous."

"Another thing is, don't look at it as just a few cattle, the investment is actually not small."

Buying good calves costs money, the cattle pen has to be built, right? Environmental disinfection and nutritional maintenance have to be done, right? Worrying about cattle and sheep every day means the family can't do any stable work that provides income.

Plus the winter feed, some simple vaccines and disease prevention, the annual expenditure is really not small...

"At the beginning, it's better to be safe."

Lu Chuan said implicitly.
