I am farming in the real world

Chapter 30: A Boon for Night Owls

"The iron content is this low?"

The joy of an unexpected harvest that had just appeared on Chen Jue's face faded by more than half as he looked at the ultra-lean iron ore in his hand.

Because he had previously run an auto and motorcycle parts machinery factory, he often dealt with steel castings and roughly knew the standards for iron content classification of iron ore.

You should know that the current steel industry has a wide variety of evaluation standards for iron ore.

Different countries and regions adopt different certifications, but there are three internationally accepted standards: rich iron ore with an iron content higher than 60%; medium iron ore between 30% and 60%; and lean iron ore between 20% and 30%.

As for the one in Chen Jue's hand, the iron content is less than 20%, which is called ultra-lean iron ore in the industry.

Ultra-lean!

Just hearing the name, you know how low the iron content is.

"Forget it, having something is better than nothing."

"Let the iron content be a bit low! As long as there is iron ore, the [Iron Ingot] material needed for subsequent land reclamation and infrastructure construction can be considered to have a stable supply source."

Chen Jue comforted himself.

He felt that at least for the next period of time, he would no longer have to find excuses to pull waste from Zheng Bocheng's factory.

......

After discovering the underground iron ore production, Chen Jue instructed the Iron Golems to seize the time to excavate the underground base framework while collecting more of this ultra-lean iron ore.

Chen Jue himself took a batch of newly mined iron ore blocks and returned to Pit 1.

While using the [Furnace] to mass-produce [Iron Ingots], he pulled Iron One to Pit 1 and built the MC village he remembered in the middle.

Because according to what Iron One said, if you want to recruit more intelligent [Villagers], you must build a village.

As for the layout of the MC village, Chen Jue still has some impression at this time.

Several small wooden houses with wooden doors and windows, and some farmland and wells were opened up in the village, and a [Bell] was placed in the center of the village.

Chen Jue cannot synthesize the [Bell] for the time being, because it requires redstone materials in MC. [Redstone] is very heaven-defying, with both information transmission and energy attributes. Chen Jue doesn't even know if there are alternative materials in the real world. He can only put the [Bell] back for later, and if it doesn't work, he will customize a similar real clock to come back.

As for the remaining [Bed] and [Bookshelf] in the village, they can still be synthesized in advance with the help of existing things.

"Synthesize a bed first!"

Chen Jue muttered in his heart.

Although there is a lack of [Wool] material, Chen Jue returned to the old house and found a few old wool and cashmere shirts to recycle. He first used [Scissors] to cut them into pieces to get a few pieces of [Worn Wool: Reworked from the fiber material of old clothes].

After that, with the help of the toolbox, a white [Bed] was quickly synthesized with a top-down combination arrangement of three squares of [Wool] + three squares of [Any Wood Planks].

"In the game, lying on the [Bed] puts you to sleep in seconds, and you can freely control the wake-up time. I don't know if it will work in the real world."

"If it is possible, insomniacs would probably break their heads to grab this [Bed] no matter how much money they spend."

Chen Jue muttered in his heart.

As soon as the mosaic-like [Bed] was placed in the wooden house, he tried to lie on it to experience it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, a magical scene happened!

Chen Jue felt his eyes go dark and immediately fell asleep.

Although he was already drowsy and asleep, and his thinking was no longer turning.

But he felt that his perception of the outside world had not faded, and he could still hear the soft and healing BGM that would definitely sound when sleeping in MC.

That feeling of being half-asleep and half-awake is very wonderful!

It's like the soul is out of the body, overlooking himself lying on the [Bed] from God's perspective.

Of course, this was also Chen Jue's first attempt to sleep in the underground base.

Compared to being woken up every morning by the noise of the illegal factory, the atmosphere in this underground wooden house is particularly quiet.

Moreover, Iron One and these Iron Golems are guarding outside, and Chen Jue feels extremely at ease and down-to-earth at this moment.

......

"Zzzzz ~"

Several hours passed in a flash, and Chen Jue got up from the [Bed] when the 3 a.m. alarm set on his phone rang.

He glanced at the time and found that he had only slept for more than 5 hours, but he was exceptionally energetic!

Even the body that had been constantly running around and working hard recently became unusually relaxed.

It was like entering a rare golden sleep, reborn after waking up, sweeping away all the fatigue and hard work before going to sleep.

"Amazing!"

"This [Bed] is simply a boon for all insomniacs and workers!"

Chen Jue shook his arms and jumped twice in place, feeling the abundant energy in his body.

He felt that the [Bed] was like those heaven-defying tools produced by other MCs, and it should not be shown to others under any circumstances.

Once it is on the market, he is afraid that he will be pulled to do alien slicing research in minutes.

Because even he, the owner of the MC system, cannot understand the principle of promoting sleep and the magical experience similar to out-of-body experience.

......

After a comfortable sleep, Chen Jue pushed open the small door of the wooden house and glanced at the lush Pit 1.

The green grassland is matched with the soft torch lighting, surrounded by water, and the several fruit trees planted in the center have developed to half their size.

The chicken farm in the distant corner is densely filled with brown chickens.

After two days of development, the second batch of 100 Xianju chicken chicks hatched from eggs have matured again.

The clucking of chickens adds a bit of different lively vitality to this unique mosaic underground space.

"Another batch can be released."

Chen Jue's eyes lit up when he saw this.

First, he instructed Iron One, who was guarding at the door of the wooden house, to go to the pit below to pick the newly matured batch of [Shanghai Greens].

He himself held an iron sword and jumped into the chicken coop to chop melons and vegetables.

In a short while, ×100 [Raw Chicken] exploded, and he picked up dozens of [Eggs]. Even the character experience bar was raised to level 3.

"Cool!"

"There are no monsters to fight, killing chickens is also very enjoyable."

Chen Jue grinned.

He smashed the eggs to hatch into chicks, and then went to cook the [Raw Chicken] in batches.

Owning C roasted chicken is his second way to make quick money recently, so naturally he will not give up easily.

What's more, Chen Jue plans to turn over as soon as possible and open "Chen's No. 1 Store" with his ID card as soon as possible. This appropriate early market promotion is definitely essential.

As for the harvested adult chickens, continue to purchase fresh eggs to replenish them later.

Anyway, a batch can mature in 2 days. As long as the fresh eggs in the supermarket are not out of stock, Chen Jue can continuously produce this delicious MC roasted chicken.

......

With the cooperation of Iron One, the progress of collecting materials this morning was much faster.

After Chen Jue climbed out of the underground pit, his mobile phone, which originally had no signal, immediately received several new messages.

One was a reminder from Wu Lao San to deliver the goods. Having learned the lesson from oversleeping last time, the other party has said a lot more seriously this time.

He said that if Chen Jue is late again this time and misses the early market, then there is no need to talk about any major cooperation in the future.

After all, no matter how good the quality of the goods provided in the business world, the seller's integrity is always the first priority.

If even the delivery time cannot be guaranteed, then there is no need to engage in the business of selling vegetables anymore.

"Brother San, don't worry! I have already gotten up and am on my way to the vegetable basket."

"There are more than 5,000 kilograms of Shanghai Greens today, and I still have to trouble you to take them all."

Chen Jue replied politely when he saw this.

As for the other unread message, it was sent by Zhao Xiaoguang, the part-time teenager he met at the intersection before.

The other party said that he had gone back and discussed it with his parents and planned to follow Chen Jue to do a few days of ground promotion to see.

If possible, he can join the stall together tonight.

"Talent is hard to come by!"

"The IQ of the Iron Golems is still a bit lacking, and they can't do sales work."

Chen Jue sighed with emotion when he saw this.

He immediately replied with the (OjbK) emoticon package and sent a location for Binjiang Road in Wenshi, asking Zhao Xiaoguang to meet and gather there at 6 o'clock tonight.

......

After replying to the unread messages, Chen Jue took Iron One out.

First, he packaged and loaded the newly picked Shanghai Greens into the car with one click.

Seeing that the shipment volume this time was a bit large and was about to burst the carriage, Chen Jue planned to get a larger van after he got some payment for the goods today.

"Buying a 9.6-meter one is also okay, anyway, Iron One and the others have an A2 driver's license."

Chen Jue muttered in his heart.

Sitting in the passenger seat, he checked the real-time wholesale price of Shanghai Greens online.

However, this check was not important. The abnormal price fluctuation curve displayed on the screen immediately made Chen Jue, who got up early at 3 a.m., lose all sleepiness!

"It has risen to 2.2 yuan per kilogram?"

"What's the situation!"

"The wholesale price yesterday was only 1.58 yuan. Can vegetable prices rise so sharply?"

With the doubts in his heart, Chen Jue drove the truck all the way.

When he arrived at the agreed trading parking lot and asked Wu Lao San, who had been in this business for decades, the other party immediately laughed and explained to him, a rookie: "Brother Chen, don't you read the news?"

"Many places in the mainland have been flooded in the past few days! Many vegetable fields around Jiangsu and Zhejiang that grow Shanghai Greens have been flooded."

"It's been rumored like crazy in the vegetable basket now, saying that Shanghai Greens may have a big market in the next few days, which is rare to see in several years."

"If those vegetable plots you contracted have produce, call people to harvest it as soon as possible. Even pick the ones that aren't fully ripe! If you miss this wave of market demand, it'll be hard to make a fortune!"

Third update ~ I'm exhausted, going to sleep, will continue tomorrow.
