Chapter 17 Future Planning
Luo Mu's eyes lit up, he had been waiting for you to say this.

Rather than searching for information yourself or relying on the experience of bloggers from other regions with different climates and environments, it is best to consult local professionals directly.

Luo Mu said frankly: "To be honest, I am a little unsure about the selection of the first batch of crops for the farm, so I thought of visiting Jones Farm and learning from him."

Peter blinked and suddenly realized. He wondered why Luo Mu, who should be a traveler, was looking curiously at the fields along the way. It turned out that he was half an outsider.

Maybe he was just a rich young man who came here for fun. Peter didn't really understand how rich people thought.

Still smiling, Peter patted his chest, as if the matter was all his. He said, "You've asked the right person about this, because the boss sent me to investigate the wasteland when he noticed it. So I know that the soil of that wasteland is basically the same as that of our Jones Farm. Basically, you can grow anything we can grow."

Peter led Luo Mu, Papa and Godfather Mastiff to an orchard where were planted the most common and in-demand fruit trees, oranges and peaches.

Papa looked curious, and after getting Peter's consent, he led the Mastiff Godfather to experience the joy of harvesting tree fruits under the guidance of the fruit farmer in charge of this area.

Luo Mu stroked the slightly rough bark of the orange fruit tree and the peach fruit tree, and looked up. There were about hundreds of orange fruits on a lush orange fruit tree.

Luo Mu remembered that an orange fruit of normal quality was worth about 20 Alliance Coins. After testing, an orange fruit of excellent quality would not exceed 100 Alliance Coins at most.

I just don’t know the price of orange fruit seedlings, and what their growth and harvesting cycles are like.

Luo Mu looked at Peter, asked him his question, and waited for the answer after the other party hesitated.

Peter pondered for a moment. Logically, he shouldn't give too much information to the competitors of the farm where he worked. According to the boss and his wife's wishes, he should just tell them some common sense directions.

However, Luo Mu was probably a second-generation rich man who was just playing around. His farm probably couldn't impact Jones's rural sales, so he wasn't a competitor worth noting. And the information he asked about could be found on the Internet if he paid attention, so it would be better to make a good connection.

Peter remained calm and said with a smile, "Orange and peach fruit trees both cost one thousand Alliance coins per sapling. The harvest cycle varies depending on the variety after breeding, but most are between one and a half to two and a half months."

"However, you need to be aware that most fruit trees need two months to grow before they start to bear fruit. In other words, if you choose to plant saplings, you will need to wait at least three and a half months, including the growth cycle of the saplings."

"If you transplant fruit trees, you don't have to wait that long, and you can see the fruits next month."

"Of course, this is also because tree fruits contain rich energy. If it is ordinary fruits and vegetables, there is no limit. Basically, it can be grown in one or two months."

Peter finished his words in one breath, then looked at Luo Mu, observing his expression.

Luo Mu took out a small notebook from somewhere. After Peter said a few words, he carefully sorted out the key points and wrote them down.

It seems that he is not worried about the problem of capital turnover at all and just wants to focus on his studies.

Peter had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​earning commission by introducing a batch of mature fruit trees to Luo Mu.

The visit to Jones Farm went smoothly. Luo Mu gained a lot of little knowledge that would be hard to learn without practice, and he became more confident about building a good farm. On the way back to the farm with Papa and Godfather Mastiff, Luo Mu had already conceived the initial planting goal in his mind.

One is some common crops, such as potatoes, tomatoes and cabbages, which are one of the main sources of income before fruit trees grow.

The second is fruit trees. Taking into account his limited experience, Luo Mu initially planned to plant only orange fruit and peach fruit, two types of fruit trees that are in high demand and are not as picky about their growing environment as other rare fruit trees.

Later, Luo Mu also asked Peter how much a fruit tree that had grown to fruit-bearing age would cost, but the price of 3,000 Alliance Coins quoted by Peter was really daunting for him.

He now only has a total of 231145 Alliance Coins in savings. He doesn't have that much money to burn. He won't starve to death if he waits for a while, and he will be able to get a salary from Orange Academy after a while.

The amount of grass seeds needed to cover the pasture area is not a small number, and there are also edible fish fry that need to be introduced into the lake area. As for fish Pokémon and the like, it would be more economical for him to catch them himself rather than introduce them.

It is better to just plant the fruit trees and seedlings honestly. If you take too big a step you may break your eggs. It is safest to take it step by step.

Since potatoes can be grown in Siberia, let’s set a small goal first. Successfully growing a potato is victory!
Soon, Luo Mu, Papa and Godfather Mastiff returned to the farm gate. Because the road to Jones Farm and the Lighthouse Research Institute in the South First District were in opposite directions, Papa planned to return to the Lighthouse Research Institute with Godfather Mastiff alone.

Papa's face was filled with smiles, and he jumped and waved his hands: "Brother Luo Mu, I had a lot of fun today, thank you for your hospitality~"

Luo Mu stroked his smooth beige hair and asked, "Why don't you stay for dinner before leaving?"

"No need, mom has prepared delicious food for me~" Papa remembered the promise made by Olin when she took Tai Jingzhu out in the morning, and an expectant look appeared on her face.

It had been a long time since he had eaten food cooked by Olin.

Luo Mu didn't force it, but just made a suggestion: "How about I let Dragonite take you there? It flies very fast, maybe you can go back early to help Dr. Olin, and you and your son can cook together."

Luo Mu felt that as long as he let Papa influence Olin and the others in every little detail, perhaps he could deflect the tragic ending of the story to a certain extent.

Rather than seeing just one mouse, he would rather see a family of mice.

Papa was very excited about Luo Mu's proposal and agreed to it without hesitation. He sat on the back of Dragonite called by Luo Mu, holding a red and white ball in his hand, which contained the Mastiff Godfather.

The red and white ball was given to Papa by Luo Mu after he heard that the Mastiff Godfather was still in the wild and had not been tamed, so he took out an unused red and white ball from his inventory.

When Papper indicated that he was ready, Dragonite flapped its small wings and instantly rose into the sky, slowly disappearing into the horizon.

Looking at Dragonite's shadow going away, Luo Mu stretched and murmured, "Now is a good time to go to the market and buy some seeds."
