Ranch Story: Start Over

After Ling Xiaoxin got off the car at the ranch, she ran after Jin Jier and Hua Xiaoling. Seeing their excited looks, Ares shook his head helplessly and turned to concentrate on asking Feng Ling:

"Brother Feng, the surveying and mapping of the mine in the mountain will only take two days. I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaoxin here. I'll go to the mountain alone."

"Do you still remember the route? Do you want me to ask a guide to go with you?"

"No, no, I memorized it on the way back yesterday, and Mayor Thomas said that they have arranged for someone to go there. I can just ask them for help if I need anything. I feel relieved to have Xiaoxin stay here."

Feng Ling still admired Ares's responsibility and sense of responsibility towards work. Well, in this case, he will study the robot he brought back in the next two days to see where to start the modification.

"Okay, I'll let you drive this car. There's a lot of work to do on the ranch. When you're done, we can discuss the research together."

After saying goodbye to Ares, Feng Ling looked at the surrounding terrain. Although the robots brought back this time were obsolete varieties, they still needed to be placed in a huge processing workshop. Most importantly, the alchemy furnace also needed to purchase some basic functions to refine the ore. There was a lot to do.

As he was thinking, Aqua trotted over to Feng Ling:

"Brother Feng! Are you going to the seaside fishing grounds today?"

"Go? Have you finished cleaning up over there?"

"Brother Yu said that the area near the fishing grounds has been cleaned up, but a lot of things a little further away are still in good condition. They don't dare to make a decision right now, so they need you to make the decision."

"Didn't I say that I would leave it entirely to them to solve?"

Feng Ling was a little confused for a moment. Was there any other problem?

"Brother Feng, go and take a look. Many of the fences seem to be in good condition. They are reluctant to throw them away, so they can't make up their minds."

Well, after what Aqua said, Feng Ling understood what the Yu brothers meant. While saving money for the boss, it was indeed a headache to see that many of the fishing grounds were still usable but were difficult to clean up.

In this case, Feng Ling really needs to do a careful inspection before deciding how to layout the fishing grounds.

"Come on, let's go together. It seems that there are still many problems."

Feng Ling didn't waste any time and took Aqua directly onto the magic sailboat, and headed towards the seaside fishing grounds with ease.

Just as they sailed out of the estuary, they saw a steam fishing boat operating in the distance. Looking at the busy fishermen who were collecting fishing nets, there were all kinds of fishing nets that had been scattered in the offshore area for many years. Feng Ling drove the magic sailboat and boarded the steam fishing boat with Aqua.

"Boss, you are here. Come and have a look. There are so many fishing nets. They are all of good quality, but they are tangled up with seaweeds and are too thick. These fishing nets left by your grandfather are all of the best quality. It is a pity to throw them away."

Uncle Yu Liu operated the crane to lift the fishing net little by little. A large amount of dead branches, leaves and seaweed were tangled in the net. Looking at the frightened fish and shrimps sliding out from one side, and several sea snakes spitting out their tongues as if they were about to bite people, Feng Ling raised his hand and used freezing magic to freeze them into ice sculptures and threw them out.

Feng Ling pulled the fishing net casually a few times and was a little surprised for a moment. He used 50% of his strength but still couldn't break it. There was something special about this fishing net.

Feng Ling had no choice but to put down the fishing net and ask the Yu brothers:

"Uncle Yu Liu, Uncle Yu Qi, how many are these fishing nets?"

"I have seen the early layout of the fish farm hut. The 2-kilometer radius is all offshore aquaculture area, and the 5-kilometer radius is the large-scale marine biological aquaculture area. Because there has been no management for so many years, these high-quality fishing nets are now scattered in the surrounding seas and need to be cleaned up before they can be rearranged."

After saying that, Uncle Yu Liu pointed to the area they had marked. There were buoys everywhere, indicating that there were still a large number of fishing nets underneath, which needed to be cleaned up.

Feng Ling rubbed his forehead.

"Uncle Yu Liu, if these fishing nets are sorted out, can they still be used?"

"Yes, and they are all very high-quality blocking materials. It would be a shame to destroy them like this, so I asked Aqua to report to you because the number involved is really too huge."

"If we find someone to clean it up, how long will it take to finish?"

"Just a week will do. If any of my brothers are free recently, you can call them over to help."

Uncle Yu Liu quickly recommended himself.

"Of course you can, but do you know anyone who can recycle these fishing nets? Although these fishing nets are of very good quality, it is too troublesome to clean them up to their original state. I would rather find someone to recycle them and start over. This way, your work will be easier and less troublesome."

Feng Ling stated his request directly. If he wanted to start from scratch, he should use new ones. These fishing nets dug out from the mud on the seabed were really unbearable to look at. He didn't want these old nets to delay his plans. Besides, fishing nets could also be refined in the alchemy furnace. It would be better to exchange these old nets for money.

Seeing Feng Ling's heroic spirit, Uncle Yu Liu quickly said:

"Boss, we can recycle them. You don't like these fishing nets, but we really need them. We will take such a large piece of fishing nets for 50 yuan, including cleaning. Can we finish it within a week?"

Seeing Uncle Yu Liu's expectant face, Feng Ling was not sure about the market price, but thinking that the other party would work for him for a long time in the future and would definitely not rip him off, so he simply handed it over to them.

"Okay, then I'll leave everything here to you. I'll come back the week after next. I have only one request, that you clean up all the fishing nets near this fishing ground, including those in the fishing huts. You can call as many people as you want. The money is limited anyway, so it's up to you to arrange it yourselves. I just want the results."

"No problem, boss!"

Uncle Six and Uncle Seven agreed immediately. With such a generous boss and such a large fishing ground with fishing nets, they decided to return to the port to call for help as they were too busy to handle it alone.

Aqua looked at the two people walking away, then looked at Feng Ling:

"Brother Feng, what do I need to do? It looks like I won't have anything to do next week."

"Yes, the ranch's freshwater fish breeding area also needs to be separated. Let's go home and discuss it carefully!"

Feng Ling smiled and patted Aqua's head. He told Tietou to go ahead while he drove the Magic Sailboat back to the ranch. Whether it was the sea fish and marine life breeding in the fishery or the freshwater fish and freshwater life in the ranch, Feng Ling felt restless when he looked at the aquatic life breeding formation in the system space.

These are the keys to obtaining a large amount of system merit points in the future and also the ability to enhance physical fitness. Thinking of this, Feng Ling felt a surge of heat in his heart.

"Iron Head! Try harder!"
