Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

"Susan, this month's fertilizer is piled here." Sean said to Susan after unloading a sack of fertilizer in front of the warehouse of Susan's Emerald Farm.

After returning from the alien space, Sean sorted out his gains and took a hot spring bath to relieve his fatigue.

It was already light in the sky, and according to what was agreed upon when signing the contract two days ago, he pushed a cart loaded with fertilizer and delivered it to Joseph and Susan.

As for Andy, because his farm was not doing well economically, the few fields he had opened up were already reserved for crops, so he could only make other arrangements after he finished clearing the land.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come and try the homemade vegetable juice from Emerald Farm." Susan handed over a plastic cup filled with a thick light green liquid with bubbles on the surface. It looked a little weird.

"Then I won't be polite." Sean took it and tried a bite to show his respect. "Wow, this tastes really good, refreshing and healthy."

Unlike most vegetable juices on the market, which have a slightly astringent taste, this vegetable juice is surprisingly delicious. It tastes refreshing like cucumber at first, followed by some passion fruit-like sweetness, and after entering the throat, the sweetness at the root of the tongue is similar to that of frozen carrots in winter.

Sean was impressed by the special taste and drank it all in a few big gulps.

"This is the recipe I learned in Grampton." Susan looked at Sean drinking water like a cow and smiled sincerely, "Since you like it so much, I will send you the recipe someday, and you can try to make it yourself at home."

"Thank you so much, Susan." Sean was not polite. He kept the kindness in his heart and said goodbye to Susan.

[Claire should like this very much. You can try to make it for her this weekend.]

Sean thought of the lovable girl who was careful about her diet to keep in shape and had a worried look on her face.

After parting with Sean at the Star Restaurant that day, in order to repay Sean's kindness, Claire went to the farm to visit Sean the next evening after getting off work at Joja Company.

He presented some homegrown green vegetables as a thank you gift, and explained sheepishly that it was still too early for the Joja Group to pay salaries, so the dinner would have to be postponed.

But as compensation, she wanted to invite Sean to a spring picnic she would host this weekend, just the two of them, on the coast south of Sean's farm.

Faced with Claire's invitation, Sean naturally couldn't let the beautiful woman down, so he agreed on the spot without thinking.

------------------

Coming down the high slope of the train platform, Sean pushed his bike into Robin's carpenter's workshop. He was going to ask about the construction of the wooden house.

In the center of Robin's studio is a large workbench, surrounded by some cutting devices. The walls on both sides are hung with various tools, and there is a smell of sawdust in the air that is hard to tell whether it is pleasant or unpleasant.

At this time, Robin was working on a piece of white paper at a drawing table in a small separate room. When she saw Sean come in, she stopped her work and greeted him with a smile.

"Robin, I want to build a cabin." Sean said straight to the point, "Do you have any good suggestions or plans?"

Robin nodded and motioned for Sean to sit down and talk. She asked Sean in detail about his specific requirements for the cabin, such as size, purpose, layout, style, etc.

Sean answered the questions one by one and also expressed some of his own ideas and requests.

"Filming location? The windows should have good lighting, but no other light interference sources? Multiple sockets, high circuit load, and reserved screw holes for fixing the brackets. This is the first time I have encountered such a requirement. Let me think about it."

After listening to Sean's description, Robin pondered for a moment, got up, went to the inner room to get a piece of white paper, and returned to his seat to write and draw.

I don't know much about filming, so I can only design according to your requirements. She handed over the white paper and gave a preliminary construction plan: "Then you can put this door on the shady side, and the windows will still be the push-out type, because you said you want to shoot a country-style video, so you don't want sliding windows..."

After listening to this, Sean nodded repeatedly and continued to add details according to Robin's plan.

After the preliminary plan was in place, Robin started to calculate on paper again: "According to my preliminary estimate, it will cost about G to build this cabin, and the construction period will be about half a month. If you are satisfied with this plan, I can go to your farm tomorrow to conduct a field survey and measurement, and then give you a specific construction plan."

"Once the specific construction plan is approved, Sean!" Robin paused and emphasized his tone, "At that time, we will charge 40% of the total cost as a deposit to purchase materials and recruit workers."

After listening to Robin's emphasis, Sean thought about it. Although the price of G was a bit high, it was still within his acceptable range. After all, the price of raw materials and labor was also included.

"Thank you for your help." With Robin's warm hospitality, Sean reached a preliminary understanding with her.

After coming out of Robin's studio, Sean did not rush back to his farm, but came to the door of the laboratory of Robin's husband Demetrius.

"Sean, you're here!" In the laboratory, Demetrius, wearing a white protective suit, greeted Sean through the glass.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come here." After a while, Demetrius took off his protective suit and came out, leading Sean towards his residence at the back.

"I believe Mayor Lewis has also told you that the reason I came here this time is to ask you to assist me in completing the testing of the upstream water quality." As expected of a researcher, Demetrius got straight to the point right away.

"Yeah, I know." The last time Lewis was helping Sean choose a suitable farmer, he talked to Sean about a series of things about the Joja Group.

When it was almost time to say goodbye, Lewis stopped and asked Sean to help him with something in a few days, which was this matter.

"In recent years, the fertilizer factory upstream has been secretly discharging sewage. Every summer, some ink-like sewage always appears in the river basin here. Mayor Lewis and Morris have reported it many times, but to no avail."

"Morris has been using the test results from the city agencies to silence Lewis. The official testers contacted by the mayor have also been bribed, and the data is normal."

Demetrius briefly explained the situation.

"So Lewis asked me to collect some water samples for testing and to study the impact of upstream discharges on the ecology of sturgeon in the river. According to Willy's fishermen, the production of sturgeon has decreased significantly in recent years."

Sean listened and nodded: "Then why did you ask me to help? I am a layman and I am not cut out for this kind of work."

"Oh, I'm looking for you because your ability to see through the land will come in handy later. You'll know it later." Demetrius spoke straightforwardly.

"Maru, go with Sean and collect water samples and inspect the sturgeon population," he shouted into the room, then turned to Sean and said,

"I have another experiment to conduct, and I'll hand it over to you later, Sean. I've already told Maru the specific requirements, so you can just ask my daughter later."

After Maru came over, Demetrius left Sean and the others and returned to the laboratory alone.

It seems that he is a research geek who doesn't care about the ways of the world. No one knows how he managed to catch up with Robin. Sean's understanding of Demetrius deepens.
