Like the Tounom family...

"If the Touno family were to go on a trip," Yukinoshita Haruno's voice rang out, echoing the hidden thoughts of Yukinoshita, "what would it be like?"

Hakuba's steps were momentarily disordered, but soon returned to normal thanks to Yukinoshita Yukino's adjustments.

"Sister can help you." The smile in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes grew even brighter. "I'll cover for you. Go on a date with Shinonome. He's also in Hokkaido now, right?"

"He should be busy with Yorozuya's business in Chiba right now." Yukinoshita Yukino replied expressionlessly, "We are not dating, and you won't cover for me, let alone help me."

"In the end, it really was just a quarrel." Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, not hiding the disappointment in her eyes. "If you really had an appointment with him, I would cover for you and provide you with help."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her silently.

"Because it means you really want to do something." Yukinoshita Haruno whispered, "not just want to do something."

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but nothing came out.

"Children who are upset will only be comforted as children." Yukinoshita Haruno leaned forward slightly. "Are some people... pampering you too much lately?"

The horse sped up, carrying Yukinoshita Haruno out of the birch forest and approaching the volcanic lake with remaining ice.

Yukinoshita Yukino bit her lower lip and accelerated forward along the path that Yukinoshita Haruno had taken.

Volume 5 May Holiday: Chapter 181 A Simple Plan

"The forest over there looks nice." Dong Yunshan leaned on the pergola and looked into the distance. "Can we go over and take a look?"

"I'm very sorry." The staff member said with a polite smile, "That's a private forest horseback riding route. If you want to try it, you need to communicate with the ranch owner in advance and choose an experienced horse..."

"I understand." Dong Yunshan understood, "Then let's stop here."

After the tour, Dong Yunshan left the ranch with Cockscomb and Xiaowen and returned to the car.

"Just leaving like that?" The man with the rooster comb was puzzled. "We haven't even discussed cooperation yet."

"What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

"Transporting goods."

Dong Yunshan patted the car door and asked, "Use this?"

"Brother, there's a truck that transports alcohol."

"So they're leaving the big transport companies behind and assigning this job to you, a bartender?" Dong Yunshan waved his hand. "We can't negotiate a partnership with a large ranch like this, so forget it."

"Then let's go find the ranch?" Cockscomb started the car. "No, then why are we here? Wouldn't it be better to just go to the ranch?"

"There aren't many small ranches that need small transport companies." Dong Yunshan looked at the map, "So we need to go to the big ranches first."

Cockscomb didn't understand what was going on, so he could only drive obediently to the destination designated by East Spruce.

Following the previous process, I wandered around the ranch with Dong Yunshan and listened to him chatting with others.

We visited several ranches in a row before we found a place to eat.

"This, this, and this, remember them all." Dong Yunshan drew several circles on the map. "Have the others check these out tomorrow."

"No problem!" the cockscomb-haired man agreed. "What are you looking at?"

"...Find the differences." Dong Yunshan held up the map. "What similarities do these farms have?"

"Uh..." Cockscomb thought for a moment, "They're not big."

"Not bad." Dong Yunshan nodded, "Xiao Wen?"

Xiaowen immediately replied, "It's very far from the main road, and there are no large logistics warehouses nearby."

"So they might be short of transportation," Dong Yunshan pointed out. "Newly established transportation companies are best suited for partnership discussions. They're more likely to sign trial transportation agreements, undertake short-distance transport at low prices or through profit-sharing models, and accumulate operational experience."

"No..." The cockscomb-haired guy was incredulous. "Brother Shan, how did you know?"

After experiencing the situation where one person was treated like three animals by a black-hearted company, I naturally understood some things.

"Read more books and newspapers." Dong Yunshan put down the map. "Xiao Wen, we've been to several ranches today. What differences do you feel?"

"The vehicles on the big ranches are all the same, with temperature displays on them," Xiaowen recalled. "But there are several small ranches owned by different companies, and some even use ice."

"This is the gap in transportation capacity. Large ranches have stable partner companies, while small ranches don't face much transportation pressure. Only small and medium-sized ranches have opportunities," Dong Yunshan explained. "There are also differences in loading and unloading tools and backup power sources. Essentially, these are differences in transportation capacity."

The cockscomb-haired man listened carefully: "What else?"

Dong Yunshan glanced at him and said, "Think for yourself."

"Brother Shan, just tell us directly."

"I repeat, I'm here to help you, not to lure you around," Dong Yunshan pointed out. "I'm a high school student. How can I not enjoy my precious time on campus by running around with you guys every day?"

"Do you still need to go to school?"

"Let me put it this way," Dong Yunshan said in a more understandable way. "If you were going to die tomorrow, would you work yourself to death today, or would you go somewhere to relax?"

"Can you be cool for a bit?"

"......" Dong Yunshan pressed his temples with a headache, "Xiao Wen, tell me what you want to say."

"There's also a parking lot. If it's neatly parked, there's definitely no shortage of transportation. There are also departure times. Fixed departure times are definitely better than sporadic departures." Xiaowen's thoughts became clearer and clearer. "And there's also a loading and unloading area. A clean one is better than a dirty and messy one."

"And the drivers' status." Seeing Xiaowen didn't continue, Dong Yunshan added, "Some are leisurely resting, while others are squatting on the roadside eating their lunch boxes. Some are coordinating operations via walkie-talkies, while others are shouting and giving orders with hand gestures... These details reflect the differences in transportation capacity, and are what you need to focus on tomorrow."

Xiaowen wrote them down one by one and asked for more details.

"After we get back, apply for a general freight truck transport business license and ensure that the refrigerated trucks meet the temperature control standards of the Road Transport Vehicle Act. Don't rush the certification process; only large dairy companies require that, and we can't meet that requirement right now." Dong Yunshan recounted the details. "Initially, leasing a refrigerated truck will cost around 150,000 to 200,000 yen per month. We'll lower costs by leasing on an as-needed basis and sign up with more ranches... Oh, and visit the agricultural cooperatives more often. While JA can't help, they're great at adding to the chaos..."

The guy with the cockscomb haircut was eager to try: "Hearing what Brother Shan said, it feels like we'll be able to make a lot of money soon!"

"You will lose money soon." Dong Yunshan corrected.

Cockscomb: "Ah?"

"If you're not proficient in the business at the beginning, you'll have no choice but to pay for your lessons. So don't act foolishly. A failure will teach you a lesson. Every step is a pitfall, but you'll get through it." Dong Yunshan tapped his cup. "What you lack at the beginning is funding, and what you're worried about is the risk. Go back and ask Sunagawa if you want to take the risk."

"Even if Big Brother is willing to take the risk, we should come up with a plan that will reassure him a little." Xiao Wen looked at the densely packed notebook in his hand, "If you want to gain trust, you must be reliable first!"

"That's how it's going to work." Dong Yunshan took a sip of his drink. "Tomorrow we'll find suitable targets, and then talk to them one by one. We'll start by renting one or two vehicles on a short-term basis under our own names, taking on orders from micro-ranches. Then we'll combine these vehicles into a fleet and sign contracts with small and medium-sized ranches, and gradually expand the business."

"Brother Shan," the cockscomb-haired man noticed the hidden meaning in Dong Yunshan's words, "Aren't you going with us tomorrow?"

"I'll go look around some other places." Dong Yunshan turned the cup and stared at the bubbling drink inside. "I'll see if I can find a way to make this snowball roll faster."

Xiaowen was curious: "What method?"

Dong Yunshan asked in return: "What is the fastest way to make money?"

The cockscomb-haired man gave an instant answer: "Criminal law!"

"It's fast enough...earn fast, leave fast." Dong Yunshan put down his glass. "The fastest way is to get rich people to give you money."

The man with the cockscomb hair suddenly realized: "Robbery!"

Dong Yunshan: “It’s legal.”

The cockscomb on his head swung: "Marry into the wife's family!"

Dong Yunshan: “…?”

Volume 5 May Holiday: Chapter 182 Correct Cultivation

A loose black robe covers the body, a black turban with white edges covers the hair, and a cross is hung on the chest.

The black color, which symbolizes repentance and self-denial, and the white color, which symbolizes purity and joy, eliminate the differences between people to the greatest extent, presenting a simplicity and minimalism that is isolated from the world.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at herself in the mirror with complicated eyes.

"This is a non-religious monastery-style cultural experience and sightseeing ranch." Yukinoshita's mother adjusted her daughter's headscarf. "So, unlike a monastery, you can wear nun's clothes and experience the quiet life."

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly: "Mom..."

"Plans aren't set in stone, but they can't be changed without preparation." Yukinoshita's mother looked at her daughter and nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go shopping. Mom and sister have things to do. We'll meet up in the afternoon, and we'll go to the Forest Elf Terrace in the evening."

"......Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly and watched her mother leave.

An antique brass bell hangs from the top of the decorative clock tower, playing soft chimes every hour.

"Children who are upset will be comforted as if they were children."

Is this the mother's gentle comfort?

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at the bronze bell.

Of course you can understand it that way.

Of course, it can also be understood as...a correct demonstration.

Regarding the weighing of temporary changes to the plan, the implementation of remedial measures, and further adjustments to the subsequent plan.

Mom disagreed because Yukinoshita Yukino didn't have a corresponding plan and didn't think it through carefully enough.

From this, it can be foreseen that consent will not meet Yukinoshita Yukino's expectations.

Her mother asked her to be obedient, not because she wanted her to be obedient, but because she should listen to her mother.

Simply rejecting it does not lead to this conclusion.

So my mother arranged a retreat experience here.

The location, time and subsequent itinerary were arranged reasonably.

Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to think that this was her mother's consideration and care.

But she knew her mother too well.

Even more than knowing yourself.

Mom doesn't do anything extra, she only does the right thing.

After more than ten years of living together, Yukinoshita Yukino has come to deeply understand this.

She grew up with this kind of education.

If you need to change your mother's plans in the future, you should make preparations in advance according to her arrangements this time.

No… do better.

If it were just this much, the mother would still have a better way to deal with it.

So it has to be a little better... a little better.

Don't assume that a spur-of-the-moment idea will be allowed.

Don't assume that perfunctory excuses will be accepted.

Mom is right. If you want to make her change her mind, you can only be more right than she is.

Just like Yukinoshita Yukino moving out to live on her own.

My mother originally disagreed with this matter.

Yukinoshita Yukino made plans in advance, set goals, and made corresponding commitments to prove that she was not acting on impulse...her mother still agreed.

Of course, being wrong is also a way to fight against being right.

But Yukinoshita Yukino herself cannot accept the fact that she made such a low-level mistake.

Moreover, when facing Yukinoshita Yukino's mistakes, the mother's correctness will be more correct, and she can use a more correct way to discipline her correctly.

For example, corporal punishment is wrong for obedient children.

But for children who are too naughty, corporal punishment is correct.

To a certain extent, the mother did not show too much authority as an elder to Yukinoshita Yukino.

She’s just…excellent.

So excellent that it is irrefutable.

Yukinoshita Yukino knew clearly that she should listen to her mother.

Just like she was listening carefully to the instructor explaining the habits of cows, the rules of the milking area, and the details of standard techniques.

Even if Yukinoshita Yukino wants to use other methods or doesn't like the rules here, she should still listen carefully and abide by the relevant regulations for her own safety.

Unless she is a better milker with more relevant experience than the instructor.

Amid the instructor's praise, Yukino Yukinoshita completed the milking operation perfectly.
