Chapter 48 These sunflowers are so beautiful, aren't they ornamental crops?
Wang Ye was very angry.
He and his wife went on a road trip and passed by a farm where they saw a beautiful field of sunflowers. They couldn't resist taking a video.
Unexpectedly, after the video was posted online, a lot of people said that it was photoshopped and had filters added.
He just wanted to share the beautiful scene with everyone, but the comments section said it was fake.
This feeling of being slandered made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
So the next day he went straight to the farm.
The weather is perfect.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
It was when the sunlight was at its brightest.
The sunflowers that Xu Ran planted are blooming more and more beautifully.
Sunflowers, as their name suggests, grow towards the sun.
Without the sun, sunflowers will droop their heads, their petals facing the ground.
When the sun comes out, they stand tall and proud, allowing their petals to fully bask in the sunlight.
Standing beside the sunflower field, Xu Ran noticed that the sunflowers were blooming more and more beautifully.
The petals were larger than any he had ever seen before.
"When I traveled to Inner Mongolia before, I saw vast fields of sunflowers, but I didn't feel this way."
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-quality variety; it's absolutely beautiful when it blooms."
Xu Ran couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Moreover, the sunflowers haven't produced any seeds yet, and the golden petals cover a larger area, making them look golden.
It looks exceptionally good.
Up close, the sunflowers grow taller than a person, about two and a half meters tall.
I never imagined that in just a month and a half, it would grow from just sprouting to what it is today.
The plants are still growing fast.
at the same time.
Wang Ye drove to the outside of Xu Ran's farm.
First, I filmed several videos, deliberately switching perspectives back and forth, first filming the mountains, then turning around to film the sunflower field.
And the accompanying text:
"This is the sunflower field, no filter, take a look and see if it's real."
Since his video shooting skills weren't up to par, he even started live streaming.
Wang Ye's videos are about everyday life as a couple; it's his side job, and he has tens of thousands of followers.
I occasionally go live to chat with everyone and earn a few hundred or a thousand yuan a month.
Therefore, he has the authority to broadcast live.
Soon after the live stream started, netizens who wanted to watch the excitement joined in.
"Everyone, I'm right next to this farm right now, and I'm going to be live-streaming the sunflowers from the farm today."
"However, the farm here is closed off and outsiders are not allowed to come in, so this is the only place we can stay."
Wang Ye explained to the audience.
In the live stream, golden sunflowers bloomed freely towards the sun, creating a dazzling golden scene as beautiful as a scene from a fairy tale.
Viewers were instantly captivated upon seeing this and left comments in the live stream chat:
[Where are these sunflowers from? They're so beautiful!]
[It's even more beautiful than anything I've seen in tourist attractions; it looks like it's glowing gold!]
[This is the first time I've ever seen such beautiful sunflowers!]
【So beautiful!】
Upon seeing the comments, Wang Ye's frustration vanished without a trace, replaced by an indescribable sense of pleasure.
He had the same smile on his face as when Li Yunlong asked Wang Yousheng to watch the warehouse.
"I saw this sunflower field yesterday, and when I posted a video, many people said it was filtered."
"Now you can see for yourselves whether it's filtered or not."
Wang Ye added confidently.
Open your eyes and take a good look.
Is this scenery real?
His video quickly garnered responses from netizens, who left comments praising how beautiful the sunflower field was.
Then, many people invited Wang Ye to go in and take a look.
Wang Ye also wanted to get a closer look, so he went to the farm entrance and asked if anyone was there.
Xu Ran happened to walk over and asked:
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye immediately asked politely:
"Here's the thing, I'm a blogger who shares my daily life. This sunflower field is so beautiful, I'd like to ask if I can get a closer look."
Xu Ran shook her head decisively and said:
"I'm sorry, the farm is enclosed; the interior is used for greenhouse cultivation and livestock breeding."
"If outsiders come in, they may carry some bacteria."
"For greenhouse crops and livestock farming, the economic losses caused by certain diseases can be fatal."
"So I'm sorry."
Xu Ran's words make a lot of sense.
Large-scale farms and plantations generally do not welcome outsiders.
The reason is that the internal ecosystem is stable, and external variables can easily cause crops to become infected with diseases.
One illness can affect a large number of people.
Although it's generally not that easy for a few outsiders to spread the virus, the sheer number of people coming and the resulting risks are too great.
So avoid such things if possible.
"Okay, okay, I was just asking."
"The sunflowers here are so beautiful, I thought they were going to open a tourist farm."
"If we opened a tourist farm, the business would definitely be booming."
Wang Ye laughed again.
Xu Ran replied politely:
"These sunflowers are cash crops, used for oil extraction. The seeds haven't sprouted yet, so they look pretty. Soon the seeds will grow in the center of the flowers, and they won't look as good then."
"There are special ornamental sunflowers, which have a longer flowering period and can stay in bloom for a longer time, making them more suitable for viewing."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye was taken aback.
"Isn't this an ornamental sunflower?"
He was utterly shocked.
No, sunflowers used for oil extraction look like this?
This is far more beautiful than sunflowers!
What a joke.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ran responded with a smile:
"The farm's soil is quite fertile, and the crops are well-maintained, so the sunflowers are blooming beautifully."
Wang Ye glanced in the direction of the sea of flowers.
Because the flowers were in full bloom, many butterflies and bees were attracted to the area.
The bees weren't very noticeable, but the butterflies were fluttering around in swarms, which was quite beautiful and added some embellishment to the sunflower field.
Wang Ye said "Sorry to bother you" and turned to leave.
Hearing the conversation between the two, netizens could only follow the camera and gaze at the sunflower field from afar.
At this moment, Li Wu and Wang Hai walked over.
Li Wu sighed:
"The sunflowers on our farm are really beautiful; they attract not only bees and butterflies, but also people."
Wang Hai nodded: "I'm afraid someone might sneak in. This fence can't stop too many people."
Their words reminded Xu Ran.
"Once we make money in the future, we'll build all the farm walls with mud bricks and create a farm park."
"We'll register it as an agricultural company then, it'll be more legitimate."
"Let's come up with another company name, like Daoxiang Agriculture, Lvhe Agriculture, or Green Farmland."
Xu Ran pondered.
Transforming a dilapidated small farm with fences and a few greenhouses into a modern agricultural base with walls and courtyards—if others said that, they would probably think it was just wishful thinking.
But Xu Ran is indeed capable of doing it.
Take it one step at a time.
The flowers are in full bloom.
As Li Wu said, flowers can attract not only bees and butterflies, but also people.
Recently, more and more people are taking photos outside the farm.
Xu Ran has to come out and patrol every now and then.
They would chase anyone who came in out.
If you encounter a thick-skinned older woman, you'll have to argue with her.
This makes one envious of American farms. If a passerby were to trespass on a private farm and attempts to dissuade them failed, the farm owner could simply pull out a gun and shoot.
It's no wonder Xu Ran didn't open the door. To put it another way, if he allowed a few people to move around the sunflower field, it would be packed with people within three days, and they wouldn't be able to get rid of them.
There might be a way to resolve this.
The next day, he redeemed all the "Superior Growth Potions" that were updated daily in the system shop.
This agent can accelerate crop growth.
Then he operated the agricultural drone and began aerial operations, spraying growth regulators over a large area.
In this way, the sunflower can quickly produce sunflower seeds, and the center of the flower will become a large plate, while the petals will appear slightly withered.
The scenery is no longer as stunning as before, so fewer people come.
Xu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of "possessing a treasure is a crime" is truly unpleasant.
There's no way around it; the sunflowers on my own farm are just too beautiful.
It's normal for there to be some minor hiccups.
