Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

But Yusa immediately pulled it back, tucked his hands into the wide sleeves of his kimono, revealing only a few slender white fingers, which he placed on his chin in a cute way. He said thoughtfully, "Then I'll change to lemon syrup next time?"

“…That’s not necessary!”

Lu Ping'an looked at You Zuo in surprise, and then was speechless for a moment.

What's wrong with you, you demon? If I don't drink your blood, you're going to feed me urine? You're so extreme!

If you have the guts, just show it in my mouth!

Kidding!

……

The service attitude of various industries in Neon is very good, but the efficiency is really poor.

Lu Ping'an waited in the apartment building for nearly twenty minutes but did not see the locksmith.

He had an appointment with the rancher of Xuejian Ranch at nine o'clock and had no time to waste here, so he simply gave the task of getting the key to Yusa and Koji, and asked them to accompany Jiang Jiang and Lanlan to buy some furniture and daily necessities later - Yusa and Koji, the "sisters", naturally agreed.

After making all the arrangements, Lu Ping'an sent a location message to Jiang Jiang and Lan Lan, asking them to come over. He also told them about his arrangements and then took people to purchase ingredients.

……

After finishing the shopping, Lu Ping'an drove to the restaurant.

Pecola and the others were already cleaning the store. Lu Ping'an called them over, handed the Binchotan tannins to them, and gave them an advance on their salary, which he temporarily gave to Popolong.

Pecola lives frugally, and Binchotantan was very poor before, and prices in Tokyo are high. Lu Ping'an was afraid that she would be reluctant to spend the money, so he temporarily gave it to Popolong and asked her to help buy some daily necessities and buy two sets of clothes for Binchotantan, and then give her the rest.

Pecola and Popolon were both very reliable and agreed with a pat on their chests, saying that they could be trusted to take care of it.

As the only one of the three angels who was not asked for help, Pino frowned, feeling that Lu Pingan did not treat her as his own, and had a slight feeling of being excluded - but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she just held a rag and wandered around Lu Pingan.

Lu Pingan looked at her, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "If you are free, would you like to go with me?"

"Okay." Pino nodded reservedly, with no expression on his face, but his mood improved.

"I didn't realize you were so enthusiastic!"

Lu Pingan looked at the pink-haired angel in surprise, and said flatteringly, "I'll leave it to you then." Then he looked at the clock on the bar in the Banmae area. It was already 8:50, and there were only ten minutes left until the agreed time of 9:00.

Lu Ping'an immediately waved to Lily Ling and Lu Keya and said, "Let's go and take a look at the ranch."

"I want to go too!"

The little evil god who was busy in the open kitchen raised his head.

The Second Emperor, Minos and others on the side did not say anything, but a look of excitement flashed across their faces.

"I'll take you there after I buy the ranch. You can do whatever you want with it then." Lu Ping'an politely declined.

It's not like he's going out to have fun, and it's inappropriate to bring a bunch of girls with him to visit a ranch. If you don't know him, you'd think he's a rich young man traveling with his harem!

What's more, there are several "little lolis" in the team, and who knows what they will be imagined to be like by then.

"Eh? Okay."

Seeing Lu Ping'an's refusal, the little evil god was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it.

She had heard Lu Ping'an talk about Xuejian Ranch, and he seemed very satisfied with it. She thought that this time she would be able to buy it, so there was no need to rush.

Others will have no objections.

So Lu Ping'an went out with the future rancher Lily Ling (this time it was still registered under her name) and the "transportation" Lu Keya.

Lu Ping'an planned to drive over and pretend.

After all, Yukimi Ranch is located in the suburbs of Furano, and it would be strange to have no means of transportation.

The group got on the bus quickly.

Lu Ping'an asked Lu Keya to impose a cognitive barrier on the car, then opened the space channel and drove the car through.

The tires rolled over the asphalt road covered with scattered sunlight, and the scenery outside the car window suddenly became clear!

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but open his eyes wide!

The Hokkaido sky was exceptionally blue, as clear and translucent as if washed by pure water, breathtakingly pure. A few wisps of thin clouds, like torn cotton wool, floated lazily across this boundless blue canvas.

On both sides of the asphalt road are rolling hills and pastures.

Golden wildflowers dotted the tender green pastures, and black and white Holstein cattle strolled leisurely in their enclosures. In the distance, the remaining snow on the Tokachidake mountain range shimmered against the blue sky, like a silver-edged screen.

"Drive about a kilometer along this road and you'll reach Xuejian Ranch."

Lukoya opened the car window, and a breeze with the fragrance of grass rushed into the car, blowing her long golden hair.

"Ah."

Lu Pingan responded and turned off the air conditioner. He also opened the car window, enjoying the wind blowing in his face and sighed:

“This wind feels so comfortable!”

"Yeah!" Lily Ling echoed, leaning back in the leather seat and squinting her eyes in enjoyment.

Then, she took out her phone, opened the weather app, pulled down to refresh, and looked at the temperature—

"It's only 19 degrees here, it's Hokkaido! The temperature is so comfortable!"

Coming from the heat of Tokyo to the cool Hokkaido, it’s hard not to fall in love with this place!

……

……

Chapter 217 Five hundred and twenty million yen!

Lu Ping'an drove the Patrol and arrived at the gate of Xuejian Ranch in less than a minute.

The rancher Takeshi Akino was already waiting at the door.

The rancher looked quite old, with wrinkles all over his bronze face, gray hair (more white than black), and a slightly hunched back, but his eyes were bright and he looked very energetic.

He was wearing a faded work suit that smelled of grass and earth.

"I'm the Garden Lily Bell who contacted you before!"

Lily Ling stepped forward, folded her hands, bowed politely, and introduced herself. Today she had something important to do, so she rarely wore an eye mask. She also changed her twin ponytails into a more mature ladylike hairstyle. A reddish-brown ponytail rested in front of her right shoulder, making her look elegant and mature.

After Lily Ling finished introducing herself, she turned around and raised her hand to introduce Lu Pingan and Lu Keya:

"This is my boyfriend Lu Ping'an, and this is my friend Lu Keya!"

"So young... and two foreigners..."

A look of surprise appeared on Qiu Yewu's face. His gaze lingered on Lu Pingan and Lu Keya for a moment, and he politely replied, "I'm Qiu Yewu, the rancher of Xuejian Ranch! Would you like to sit over there for a while and try the specialties of our ranch?"

"No, please show us around the ranch, and then we can discuss the acquisition."

Lily Ling waved her hand and got straight to the point.

"That's fine." The old man smiled heartily, then looked at the agricultural off-road vehicle parked nearby - Honda Pioneer!

He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Take my car and I'll show you around."

Xuejian Ranch is a medium-sized ranch, but it covers a large area of ​​20 hectares, equivalent to 300 acres of land and 28 standard football fields.

Although most of the area is mountainous, the remaining area is also quite large. If you rely solely on your legs to cover it, it will be time-consuming and laborious, so it is more convenient to use transportation.

"it is good."

Lu Ping'an and others responded readily, walked over, opened the car door and got in.

Seeing Lu Ping'an sitting in the passenger seat, revealing a sense of dominance towards him, Qiu Yewu couldn't help but wonder if the person who really wanted to buy his ranch was Lu Ping'an in front of him.

Then he started talking incessantly while driving.

Xuejian Ranch is the ancestral property of the Akino family with full ownership rights. It has been passed down for three generations. Unfortunately, his children are unwilling to take over the management, and as he and his wife are getting older, they gradually feel unable to do it, so they listed it for sale online.

Lu Ping'an and his group were not the first group of people to come and want to acquire the company.

"..."

While chatting, Takeshi Akino drove the car to a cowshed.

He parked the car, opened the door and got out, introducing the people while leading them inside.

"This is a dairy cow barn. The entire barn is 24 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 3.8 meters high. It has a rest area, 30 free stalls, three delivery rooms, and a milking room. It's equipped with an automatic feeding system and an automatic manure scraper..."

As Qiu Yewu spoke, he demonstrated to Lu Pingan and others how to use the automatic feeding system and automatic manure scraper.

According to him, if grazing is not done, the cows should be fed once in the morning, noon and evening, and the cow dung should be scraped once in the morning and evening.

Despite this, there was still a smell in the cowshed.

I can't say it's that smelly, but it does smell bad.

However, Lu Ping'an didn't take this to heart. He had consulted Lu Keya long ago, and the other party said that he could set up a purification magic circle in the cowshed, and perform a purification magic after scraping the cow dung every morning and evening, so that the cowshed would be clean enough for people to sleep in.

"Aren't there any cows being grazed today?" Lily Ling asked curiously as she looked at the cows of all sizes in the free stalls.

"Well, it's mainly to make it easier for you to confirm the number of cows and the situation in various aspects." Qiu Yewu nodded, and then gave Lu Pingan and the others a detailed introduction to the cows in the cowshed.

"These five are still in the breeding period, aged between five and ten months. These two are bulls, responsible for breeding. These seven are in the gestation period and have already conceived... These 16 are in the lactation period, and our farm's milk production mainly depends on them."

Each cow has a yellow electronic ear tag nailed to its ear, which records the cow's detailed data from birth to calving...

"..."

After looking at the 30 Holstein cows, Lu Pingan and others came to the milking room at the end.

Six cows can be milked at the same time here, and Takeshi Akino demonstrated to them how to use the milking machine.

Then we went to the feed warehouse next door, looked at the feed reserves inside, and then went to another cowshed.

After visiting the cowshed of the black-haired Wagyu cattle, the group took a car up the mountain and came to the blueberry orchard.

It is the blueberry harvest season now, and the orchard is filled with a rich fruity fragrance.

Akino Takeshi generously gave each of Lu Ping'an and the others a basket, and said with a smile that they could pick as much as they wanted.

Lu Ping'an politely declined, but couldn't refuse, so he picked some with Lily Ling, Lu Keya and the others.

Afterwards, a few people went to the hot springs, took a look, and then came to the villa on the top of the mountain.

The wooden villa is cleverly integrated into the mountain.

Standing in the open space in front of the villa and looking out, you can take in the entire ranch, the view is very broad!

After getting out of the car, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then followed Qiu Yewu into the villa.

At this time, Akino Takeshi's wife, Akino Anko, a very energetic old lady, had already made tea and was waiting for them in the living room.

Lu Ping'an and Baiheling exchanged a few pleasantries with the old lady, and then discussed the acquisition with the old couple in front of them with a serious look on their faces.

There is no doubt that Lu Ping'an is very satisfied with the Xuejian Ranch, but he thinks the price is too high.

"..."

After nearly half an hour of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement, and Lu Pingan successfully acquired Xuejian Ranch for 520 million yen.

……

……

Chapter 218 I can’t even imagine such a good thing!

By the time we finished all the procedures and completed the handover, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Lu Ping'an waited for the Qiu Ye couple to leave, and arranged for Lu Keya to use magic to renovate the entire ranch.

When all the buildings and equipment were restored to their new state, he also asked her to set up a purification magic circle in the cowshed.

“It’s like taking over a new ranch that’s fully equipped and just started operating!”

Lu Ping'an stood in the clean, tidy, and odorless cowshed, watching the feed being fed into the trough through the conveyor belt, and felt very happy.

This is the real-life ranch game you've always dreamed of!

Not hard or tiring, not dirty or smelly, easy and pleasant, it feels great!

"Hmm~."
