Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

When Pierre returned to Pelican Town in a dusty state, he found that his daughter's stall had expanded in size again and had more staff.

A young girl whom he had a vague impression of was promoted to a receiving staff member, who evaluated the quality of the shipped agricultural products and gave corresponding quotations.

"This crazy girl is doomed!" Pierre cursed inwardly and walked into his own grocery store in a bad mood.

Naturally, there was no progress on this trip. Someone with good connections leaked the news to him and advised him to change his career.

The man said, complaining: "Pierre, it's not that I don't want to help you, I can't protect myself either!"

"Most of the agricultural product wholesale market in Zuzu City has been taken over by the Joja Group, and the rest is in danger. Those of us who have been coerced must make a pledge of allegiance. We cannot risk accepting your goods at this critical moment."

The man told Pierre about his difficulties and asked him not to look for him again because of their past friendship. He was forced to do so because he also needed to make a living.

As he spoke, the man seemed to have made up his mind. He closed the shutter door, cutting off the shop from the outside, and rode away alone on his small electric scooter.

Pierre stared at the row of tightly closed white rolling doors with a transfer notice in black letters on a white background, and he felt as if the sky was falling.

The channels he knew were either merged, closed down and transferred, or just kept a small corner. He was the first to talk about the difficulties of life as a consolation, and then left with two sighs.

When he returned to his grocery store, Pierre sat down on a chair, breathing heavily, with a terribly gloomy face.

At this time, Aby came to find him. When Pierre saw Aby, he was furious.

"Look at yourself. What's the point of doing all this? It's going to fail sooner or later." Pierre frowned and raised his voice a few degrees.

Abhi was unconvinced: "How come it's useless? Our stall is becoming more and more prosperous now, there must be a way."

Pierre stared. "Prosperous? How long can it last? The Joja Group will not let us go."

Abby said stubbornly: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to fight back."

Pierre got even angrier: "Confrontation? What can you use to confront? They are such a powerful force."

Abiy argued: "We can join forces with others to find a solution. Besides, our fertilizers and agricultural products are of good quality, so there will definitely be a market for them."

Pierre stood up angrily and pointed at Abi: "What do you know? You are jumping into the fire pit."

Abby was not to be outdone: "No, I am not. I am working hard for our future."

The two argued until their faces turned red. Pierre just felt that his daughter was too ignorant and was determined to commit suicide.

Abby originally wanted to explain it properly, but if he wanted to explain it clearly, he would have to touch upon confidential matters. He was overwhelmed and encountered Pierre's continuous accusations.

I might as well go back to the old familiar path, start a quarrel with him and try to provoke him.

Because Abi was confident that he could provide for the family, he let his old father Pierre suffer more because he always scolded him.

Pierre was angry and helpless. He looked sullen, stopped looking at the shop, opened the back door and walked into the inner room.

Seeing his wife Caroline, he couldn't help but vent his anger on her: "It's all because of you. Look at what he has become now."

Caroline was very calm. She came over and gently held Pierre's hand: "Don't be angry. Being angry now won't solve the problem. We have to think carefully to find a way out."

Pierre snorted, "What other options are there? We've been forced to death by the Joja Group."

"And I asked you to charge for your yoga classes, but you just won't listen." Pierre poured a pot of tea in a bad mood.

Caroline frowned slightly: "Pierre, we are all neighbors, we don't behave like this."

Pierre took a sip of tea and said angrily, "We are almost dead now, and you are still caring about that."

Caroline said patiently, "Pierre, you can't think like that. We have to think long-term, not just in the present."

"Take a long-term view? If we continue like this, we will all be left with nothing." Pierre put the cup down heavily.

"Can't you calm down? Always so impatient." Caroline was also a little angry.

Pierre stood up: "I am impatient? How can I not be impatient? Everyone is as relaxed as you, and you have done all the favors, but the profiteer has fallen on my head."

Caroline looked at Pierre in silence.

"Pierre, I think you need some quiet time." Caroline said calmly, giving Pierre some space, then she returned to the grocery store and reopened it.

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

On the other side, Sean was helping Penny awaken her abilities.

"Penny, are you ready? Let's explore your new abilities together." As Sean finished speaking, Penny took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

There seemed to be a trace of electricity gently passing through the air, and the power in her body began to surge, like a dormant volcano gradually awakening.

In an instant, countless data streams emerged in her mind, intricate yet orderly. She seemed to have turned into a supercomputer, able to analyze and process any information instantly.

"I... I feel it!" Penny opened her eyes suddenly, with surprise and disbelief in her eyes. "I can see the flow of data, understand their meaning, and even predict their changing trends!"

Penny explains her abilities to Sean.

"Is this... a supercomputer?" Sean thought of the emerging artificial intelligence in his previous life and shared his understanding of this ability with Penny.

Penny was covered in sweat and had a blush on her face. She smiled shyly and said, "This is incredible... I think I may need to calm down."

With that, she slowly walked towards the hot springs, which would be the sacred place where she could regain her composure and further adjust to her new abilities.

The hot spring was filled with steam, and the lights were shining on the water, creating layers of golden glow.

Penny stepped into the hot spring. The water temperature was just right to dispel her fatigue. She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift with the water.

On the other side, Sean started communicating with Penny across the hot spring curtain.

Once Penny got into working mode, she put away her shyness and became extremely capable and serious. She reported the summarized information to Sean.

Now Abi has purchased 100 kilograms of tomatoes and 300 kilograms of cucumbers. Due to limited storage conditions, they are all piled in Sean's portable space.

This is definitely not a solution, so the cold storage warehouse is put on the agenda, and Maru, Sebastian and Clint are making intensive preparations.

They plan to build a logistics warehouse dedicated to external affairs in the no-man's land south of the bus station.

The main body of the warehouse was naturally shaped by Sean using his ability, and some conventional materials were purchased if possible, and those that were not available were directly fabricated by Maru using his "modeling" ability.

The important insulation material and circulation system were specially made by Maru based on the fur of the mountain goat, and the energy source was the photovoltaic power generation system that was later made. They were directly laid on the roof of the warehouse like ordinary solar panels.

At the same time, Shane was running around outside. Relying on Lena's relationship, he got a cold chain truck that was about to be scrapped and had complete procedures.

After completing the whole process and re-registering under Jiahe Company, he planned to bring it back since he had the corresponding driver's license and let Maru and Clint refurbish it to use as a means of transportation in the future.

As for the sales problem, since the quantity was not large at the moment, he took the tomatoes, threw away his old face, bypassed the wholesaler link, and walked through the shopping malls. Finally, relying on the high quality, someone was willing to let him provide a batch of goods for trial.

Now the only thing left is to solve the problem of long-term transportation on mountain roads and bumps, which will lead to the deterioration of the quality of fruits and vegetables. I believe that the cold chain vehicle can help a lot. After refrigeration, the quality of fruits and vegetables will not deteriorate too much.

As for the cost of the cold chain vehicle, it is not within the scope of consideration. With the photovoltaic power generation system, Maru can modify it and secretly insert a special battery into it, and the energy cost will be close to zero.

The most important issue of cost is not a problem for Sean.

For Pierre, this is why he only goes for wholesale and does not go to supermarkets, because he simply cannot afford the high cost of ensuring the quality of agricultural products.
