Chapter 113 Buy two dairy cows and make dairy products!
As a bird photography enthusiast, Ding Jianhua has a deep understanding of bird habits.
The sparrow was very alert.
It's difficult to build trust with it.
Moreover, sparrows are not very intelligent, so being able to communicate with them is even more incredible.
Ding Jianhua suddenly felt that Xu Ran looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had seen a video of Xu Ran a while ago. At that time, Xu Ran was feeding sparrows, and many sparrows stood on his body.
Ding Jianhua suddenly realized: "It's you! I remember now! You're that farmer!"
Upon hearing Ding Jianhua's words, Xu Ran replied with a smile, "I don't know which one you're talking about, but I have filmed some videos."
Ding Jianhua looked at Xu Ran and said, "No wonder. I've seen the video of you feeding sparrows, and I found it unbelievable at the time."
"I can't believe the sparrows are so close to you."
Xu Ran replied, "The more you feed them, the closer you become."
The two chatted casually.
Then, Ding Jianhua planned to say goodbye to Xu Ran and leave the farm.
He turned around and walked back, and as he turned his head, he happened to see the majestic rooster on the roof.
The rooster is very beautiful, with a bright red and full comb on its head, soft feathers, and an overall majestic appearance.
One look and you can't help but be amazed.
"Oh My God!"
Ding Jianhua's expression changed, and he immediately picked up his camera and started taking pictures of the rooster.
Seeing this, Xu Ran did not stop it.
"This rooster is so beautiful, so exquisite, and the colors are gorgeous too."
"It's flawless under high-definition lenses."
"This is good enough to enter in a photography competition!"
After taking a few photos, Ding Jianhua exclaimed in amazement.
Xu Ran chuckled from the side, "This rooster is quite handsome; he's quite popular with the hens on the farm."
Ding Jianhua looked at the photos and smiled with satisfaction.
"Your farm is truly a blessed location; you've managed it exceptionally well, impressive!"
He praised her sincerely.
Xu Ran responded with a faint smile, "It's just normal business operations."
Ding Jianhua marveled at the scenery of the farm.
He was very grateful to Xu Ran, so he thanked her again before leaving the farm.
After experiencing this little incident, Xu Ran went back to her busy work.
He plans to research other ways to make money from the farm.
Or, to put it another way, how to get some agricultural products.
Just then, he saw the cook, Wang Ping, carrying a large bucket, preparing to ride her tricycle to the village.
"Wang Ping, shall we go get the milk?"
Xu Ran immediately asked.
"Yes, now that there are more people, the milk consumption is relatively high."
"And I've been researching how to make ice cream lately, thinking that with summer coming, we can make some ice cream on our farm."
"They probably used a lot of milk."
Wang Ping responded.
"Then let's buy two cows. The demand for milk is high right now, and it's more economical to buy two cows than to pump milk every day."
"The farm has plenty of pasture; it would be a shame not to raise dairy cows."
"I'll also do some research on how to make some dairy products then."
Xu Ran spoke up.
"Boss, that's no problem. Raising dairy cows is a good idea."
Wang Ping replied.
"Okay, I'll look into it."
Xu Ran nodded.
He really had that idea.
The farm's business has stabilized now, with markets for crops like wheat, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sunflowers.
But after calculating, the annual profit is about 200 million.
This is under normal circumstances, excluding costs.
This income is quite good for someone engaged in agriculture; it's considered a comfortable, middle-class lifestyle. But for Xu Ran, it's not enough.
To earn more income.
Xu Ran had just had this idea when the system panel suddenly popped up.
[Start the quest: Dairy Products!]
[Task Description: Please raise dairy cows within the farm area and obtain a certain amount of milk.]
[Task Progress: 0/10L]
[Task Rewards: Special Fresh Milk Recipe, Special Yogurt Recipe, Special Cheese Recipe, Special Milk Cake Recipe.]
The task was successfully triggered.
The reward this time is a dairy product formula.
This was somewhat unexpected.
"Dairy products, they look pretty good!"
"My farm already has its own brand. If we could sell some dairy products and create a branded snack, that wouldn't be out of the question."
"I don't need to compare with Mengniu and Yili, at least we should have some brand recognition in the local area."
"I need to buy more dairy cows."
Xu Ran had a new idea in mind and became even more excited.
The passion for entrepreneurship has been reignited.
For someone who owns the system, earning two million a year is still not enough.
It needs to continue to develop.
So, Xu Ran immediately started thinking about buying dairy cows.
While pondering this, he also fed the horse.
Not long after, Wang Ping returned on her tricycle.
"How's the milk market right now? Have you heard anything from the milk sellers?"
Upon seeing her return, Xu Ran immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping replied, "The price of milk is low now, so we can't make much money. I just talked to them, and they're planning to sell their dairy cow and go to work in the city."
"The main reason is that few people in the village drink milk, so we have to go to the town to sell it."
"Now everyone buys packaged milk online, and fewer people are buying fresh milk."
Xu Ran nodded.
Doing business is not easy these days.
The same applies to selling milk.
There used to be a lot of people in the village, and a lot of people bought fresh milk.
Nowadays, people prefer online shopping.
Moreover, milk bought online tastes better, with less of a milky smell and more of a sweet flavor.
"That's true. How old are his cows? If they're young, I'd like to buy them."
"Too old, forget it."
Xu Ran asked.
"I'm not too sure about that, but I can ask him. He'd definitely be happy if we could buy it."
Wang Ping replied.
Dairy cows are also a standard feature of farms and ranches.
After all, meat, eggs, and dairy products are essential for humans.
The farm is self-sufficient and currently lacks nothing except for milk, which it can produce on its own.
"Don't ask yet, and don't say I want to buy. It would be troublesome if the cow is too old and I don't want to buy it."
"I'll go get the milk tomorrow; I can manage by myself."
Xu Ran shook her head and refused.
It's best not to mention this beforehand, otherwise, if the deal doesn't go through, it might give you something to talk about.
Xu Ran thought it would be better to just buy dairy cows from a dairy farm.
The next day, Xu Ran went to the family that sold milk in the village by herself.
"Buy milk!"
He gave a shout.
This is how transactions are conducted in the village—simple and unpretentious, with few physical stores.
"They're here."
How much do you want?
A short while later, a woman in her thirties came out and asked.
"Give me four jin." Xu Ran handed over the empty bucket.
"it is good."
The woman took the empty bucket, placed the funnel on it, and then scooped out the milk with a special spoon.
One spoonful is half a pound.
All of them have been measured.
Xu Ran took the opportunity to observe the cows in the adjacent pen.
There are two of them, both around two years old, which is a good age.
"This cow is quite young. Are you planning to sell it?"
Xu Ran asked a question.
"Yes, one of them was sold before the new year, and these two were just raised recently."
"I don't plan to sell milk anymore. I'll switch to another business, and I'll even sell the dairy cows."
The woman responded.
"If you really want to sell, just sell it to me at market price."
"I've been thinking of buying a dairy cow lately."
Seeing that the cow was in good condition, Xu Ran directly expressed her thoughts.
"Okay! That saves me the trouble of spending money to hire a truck to take it to the market to sell."
"It would be best if you could buy it."
The woman immediately laughed.
"Okay, I'll check on the cows."
Xu Ran went into the pen to check on the condition of the cows.
The cows are healthy.
However, because this family's living conditions are relatively basic, and their dairy cows are kept in pens, these two cows can only move around within the pen.
The space was a bit small, and the cows didn't seem to be in good spirits.
Moreover, the cattle pen was a bit dirty, and it seemed there was no time to clean it.
Xu Ran's main task is to ensure that the dairy cows are healthy. After all, people in the animal husbandry industry know that many animals have congenital diseases or infectious diseases and cannot live for long.
Genes determine their lifespan.
After confirming that everything was fine, Xu Ran discussed the price with the woman.
These days, everything has a price tag, and you can find anything online.
Anyone who knows how to compare prices will not lose money.
Therefore, the process went smoothly, and Xu Ran successfully bought the cow.
The cows in the pen are unaware that their fate is about to undergo a new change.
