Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Penny's handwriting is beautiful and neat, full of feminine meticulousness and patience.

The words between the lines elaborated on the information and data she had collected. The degree of completeness was beyond Sean's expectations. She was indeed the woman he valued.

The first step was to communicate with the three farmers who participated in the trial, and all three farmers praised the fertilizer.

After preliminary experiments, the germination rate of various crops increased by 6-10 percentage points year-on-year.

Joseph asked to buy more fertilizers for growing other crops, and Susan also showed great interest.

Andy had taken out most of his savings and stockpiled a lot of fertilizer produced by the Joja Fertilizer Factory because of the discount for Joja members a while ago. Now he was worried about the more effective Jinkela.

The following is the population data about Pelican Town collected by Penny.

There are more than 700 households in Pelican Town, with a total population of about 2,500 people, of which more than % are engaged in agricultural production. Regardless of whether they are hunters, fishermen or herders, there are always one or two fields in front of or behind their houses for planting.

According to Penny's estimation, the total cultivated area in Pelican Town is approximately 3,000 acres.

Because Sean's Jinkela fertilizer is more economical, based on a farming span, 30 kilograms are needed per acre of land.

The entire Pelican Town has a total fertilizer demand of approximately 90,000 kilograms, or 90 tons.

At a price of 1,500G per ton, the total fertilizer consumption for the entire Pelican Town during each farming season is approximately 135,000G.

There are two farming seasons a year, so the total annual consumption is about 270,000G, and it will gradually increase with the reuse of wasteland if Sean's fertilizer can take up all the market.

Of course, this is calculated based on the usage and pricing of Jinkela fertilizer. If calculated based on the usage and pricing of ordinary fertilizers, it may need to be multiplied by a coefficient of about 2 to 3.

Because the materials are basically available everywhere, the gross profit of this 27 yuan reaches an astonishing %.

Sean wrote and marked on the paper based on Penny's data.

Based on this profit, I can hire 1~2 employees to help me establish a storage, transportation and sales system for Jinkela fertilizer.

The warehouse is also ready. We can just take one of the abandoned dormitory buildings in the community center and make use of the waste.

As for production, due to the special reasons of the raw materials, we have to do it by ourselves.

Moreover, due to the limitation of slime condensate output, it can barely meet the needs of the residents of Pelican Town. If it wants to expand outward, it can only wait until it finds a way to bring out living slimes for breeding.

The arrangements made some time ago are about to face a big test as the production and promotion of fertilizers. Next, it depends on the progress of Abigail.

I also don't know how her preparations went after I shared the plan with her that day.

Sean still had some concerns about this girl with a somewhat weird personality.

[Forget it, I'll go see her when I'm free in a few days. After all, I'm still her master.]

Sean's mind flashed of Abigail under Pierre's supervision, with no autonomy, doing her work mechanically like a puppet, her lifeless face like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

He smiled and shook his head.

Then he packed up the documents and stood up. Sean wanted to discuss the purchase of additional fertilizers with the three farmers in detail before the sun completely set.

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

Coming out of Andy's farm, the deep blue night sky had begun to spread. The night sky, which was farther away than that in the city, was so peaceful. Sean pushed the cart and pressed the weeds on the roadside. The overly long grass stalks hit the bearings and Sean's bare feet, making them numb.

The sea breeze blew on his cheeks with a cool feeling, bringing a slightly salty and humid smell.

This is the southernmost part of Pelican Town. Sean walked along the sea cliff, and a few dozen feet away was the rocky sea level.

Suddenly, at a corner of the distant cliff, there was a figure that looked somewhat lonely and sloppy.

The man was sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, with a few empty bottles and a pile of garbage scattered around him. Sean frowned slightly, and he recognized the man - it was Shane.

[This sloppy drunkard bought some wine and came here to drink?] Sean recalled the unpleasant encounter he had with him in the bar the day before.

"It's quite late already, huh?" Shane muttered drunkenly after noticing the movement behind him.

Sean originally wanted to pretend he didn't see it and just walk away, but now that Shane spoke to him first, he couldn't just ignore him.

"Yeah." Sean responded softly, stopped the cart and walked to his side.

When he walked over, Sean realized that Shane was sitting in an extremely dangerous position.

His feet were almost hanging in the air over the edge of the cliff, with only a rock behind his butt barely supporting his body.

The sea breeze blew his hair and clothes, as if it would blow him down at any time. But he didn't seem to care at all, just lowered his head to look at the bottle of wine in his hand and took a sip occasionally.

"Here, give me a cold drink!" Shane reached out and groped for the wine bottle beside him. His trembling hands became steady after he grabbed the bottle.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to fall at any moment, Sean didn't dare to act rashly and could only take the bottle.

"Life," Shane sighed under the influence of alcohol, "Do you ever get the feeling that no matter what you do, you're going to fail?"

"It's like you're stuck in this abyss of pain and can't get out, and you can't see any light at all?" He raised the bottle and took a gulp.

"I felt like no matter how hard I tried... I wouldn't be strong enough to climb out of that abyss." He was becoming increasingly frustrated.

"Come on! Have a bottle with me!" In order to comfort him, Sean also drank the bottle of wine in his hand. The spiciness of the alcohol went down his tongue, throat, stomach, and finally rushed back to his mind.

"You drink pretty fast, huh? You're a man I admire." Shane looked at Sean's actions with satisfaction, "But don't get addicted, you still have a lot of years ahead of you."

Then he opened another bottle and drank it.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." He hiccuped and muttered to himself into the night, not knowing whether he was talking to his own life or to someone else.

"My...my life...is a sad joke..." He was obviously drunk at this time.

"Why should I struggle?..." He sobbed, close to emotional collapse.

Although there had been some unpleasant experiences with Xie En, these were nothing but trivial matters when facing Xie En who was having suicidal thoughts at this moment.

"Sizzle~" Sean opened a bottle of wine and took a sip with him, silently acting as a trash can for his emotions.

"I have no control over my life at all..." Shane took another sip.

"I'm just... a piece of garbage swaying in the wind..." He staggered to his feet, his staggering steps making it seem as if he would fall down if the wind blew.

Sean quickly stood up and protected him to prevent him from falling off the cliff.

"I come here often recently...looking down..." He spread his arms wide, legs apart in a "big" shape, holding the bottle of wine in one hand, walked to the edge of the cliff, and stretched his head to look down.

"This is my last chance to take control of my life... these cliffs..."

"But...but..." He burped, "...but I was too scared and anxious. Just like usual..." As Sean was trembling with fear, he fell down sideways.

"...My life is just work, sleep, eat and drink...to...the depression of self-hatred." His mouth was mixed with dirt, and wine and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth onto the grass roots.

"Why should I continue? Tell me... tell... tell me why I shouldn't roll off the cliff right now..." He asked Sean, and also asked himself, he wanted to get an answer.
