Dara, tired walked to his farm. It seems he did not complete the quest."Now your knees will be sick again!" the whine of Dara.
"It was your choice, be responsible for it!" the system stubbornly maintained.
A three-wheeled Iranian-made motorcycle rode along the road. He sped past Dara, leaving a puff of dust behind him. Then, he abruptly stopped.
"Hey Dara, why are you going so tired, you"re still young, Ahahahahhaha!" the stranger laughed.
"Do I know you"? asked Dara, goggling.
"Well, you don"t recognize the neighbors yet?" the stranger grunted.
"Ah ... it seems you are Grandpa Kamol"s nephew? Are you a farmer?" specified Dara.
"d.a.m.n, I immediately recognized you once, but you are a city man, you don"t recognize your neighbors, but your grandfather introduced us to you, it"s not good!" the stranger didn"t let it go.
"Yes, I now remembered your name is Masa Big Brother"? I"m right.
"Wow, I"m glad you value our traditions!"
"Yes, it"s me"!
"But what are you doing here on the road, all so bruised, tired, and not working on a farm?" asked with surprise Masa.
"Well, I"m coughing, my lungs hurt, my bronchial tubes, I"m looking for natural medicinal products!" answered Dara.
"Eh, brother, is it not better to drink a gla.s.s of alcohol, then wrap yourself in a warm blanket, and in the morning you are already healthy!" Masa smiled.
"I don"t drink alcohol," said Dara.
"Wow! Does the teetotaler mean? Well, well!" Masa grinned.
"Okay, let"s go to my field, where everything doesn"t grow, everything is ecologically clean, I was also interested in your idea, planted on 2 hectares, all kinds of different vegetables, something has already grown up. So you can use it for yourself! "
"However, in return, let"s talk about how much you can buy them from me"?
Dara, was surprised. To an already experienced farmer, he suddenly risked as much as 2 hectares of land and decided to plant varieties unknown to him earlier.
"Why do you think that I will buy them?" asked Dara.
"But why not? They are of high quality! " Masa suddenly said, startled.
Buy it? And then I need to pay a loan, it turned out that the previous buyers reduced purchase prices. If I can"t pay the loan and interest, they will take away my equipment, tractors, seeders "!
"Help out brother!" Masa suddenly began to beg him.
"No, no, bro, you understand, I see you a second time, I know your grandfather, but you are not! How to do business? What will happen to me from this? " said Dara immediately.
Charity is one thing, but helping a stranger in a loss-making business is a different conversation, this is a sure way to loss and bankruptcy. Friendship is friendship, and tobacco is apart. That is, business requires a balanced relationship. Today there is money and a friend. And tomorrow you will give money to a friend, and tomorrow you will lose both money and a friend, you will gain an enemy. Why is this needed? If a person does not know how to conduct business, there is nothing to take upon him.
"Well, bro, help me, nothing at all, I have to give a loan of $ 10,000 this year with interest, from my grandfather I heard you got a loan from a bank of $ 26,000, help me?" Masa.
"Hey, Bro, don"t joke with me like that!" evil said, Dara.
"This is my money, I don"t know you, why should I help you?" Dara, I didn"t like it.
"Bro, Dara, don"t refuse immediately, let"s see what has grown, and then okay, let"s talk about whether you can buy vegetables from me," Masa began to lose ground.
He wanted to check on Dara, maybe he is young and green, maybe he who is more experienced can persuade him to risk money and help him. Well, if Dara went broke, he would also not mind removing the young compet.i.tor.
There are such people. Dara, he didn"t like him. Therefore, he refused a trip to Mas"s farm, he must be able to say no! For money loves an account, there are no friends. He had a friend Fang, they were in business together, helping each other. No one wanted to be a parasite. And this Masa is a so-so man. He does not respect other people, so why should he respect him? He would walk in the woods, such a redone Russian expression, softer than abusive. It means that people are not welcome here.
Masa cursed under his nose, intentionally dusted him, gasping in place, and drove off to his farm.
And Dara, shaking off the dust, wandered to his farm. On the way, he saw a small farm stall, and there the seller was an old man of about 63. To the surprise of Dara, he knew him, he was his friend. He worked for about 20 years as a salesman in a store in their quarter. And now he means he worked here on a farm ?!
Dara, went to the stall.
"Oh, isn"t that Dara? How are you? What are you doing? Can you buy what you want? " the old man suddenly asked questions.
"Yes, it"s me, Grandfather Maruf!"
"Wow, what a f.a.g!"
"Like a grandma? You will see, send my fiery greetings from me! " Grandfather Maruf said enthusiastically.
"Of course"! a.s.sented, Dara.
"By the way, your grandmother gave me a recommendation, I was able to buy a summer house and a small plot of 40 ar. It"s good here, the air is clean, the water is sweet, the vegetables are delicious! "
"And Masa, this lazy man, how can a farmer drink vodka?" When it is necessary to plow in the field, he is a bad guy; there"s not much sense from him! " said Grandfather Maruf, scratching the bridge of his nose.
"Well, look so far that you will like it, and while I boil the seagull, you probably want to drink?" and grandfather went to boil a kettle. On the stall lay a sheet of composite material, which was also a solar battery, it was possible to boil a kettle from it, listen to the radio and warm the old man"s chair.
Dara, examined the stall. About 20 plastic boxes with vegetables and berries and herbs were located there. As well as several jars of mountain honey.
In one lay dry nettle gra.s.ses, in the other a small yellow carrot. In the Third, five-star apples, in the fourth, white onions, in the fifth were liter jars with birch sap. In the sixth lay cuc.u.mbers grown under a film. In the seventh jar of 0.4 liters with freshly cut aloe leaves. In the eighth dried, raspberry leaves. And then Dara didn"t even look. He seems to have found all the missing products to complete the quest!
All that remained was to buy food and prepare the finished medicine according to prescriptions.
The knowledge base in my head began to ring "Trin, Trin, Trin!"

Congratulations, completed the quest mission. The host"s knowledge base will be replenished with two paths and will also receive two bonus recipes!
"Well, everything is clear with the tracts!"
"But what are the bonus recipes? Recipes of what? Dara, arrived in doubt. The system did not differ in good disposition, like all systems, however. There was never an adequate system; they were always with their own fool.
"Two bonuses"!
"Get it!" loudly announced by the system.
"With bronchial asthma - you need to drink warm, fresh, bovine blood of 50 ml for 30 days!"
"Ah, if you didn"t send the system to the forest"! "Am I a vampire or something?" "Such a recipe is needed for h.e.l.l" ???!
"This is a mockery of animals, of man and common sense!"
"d.a.m.n, we do not live in the Middle Ages!"
"Well, what is the second miracle recipe?" He himself scoffed at the infuriated system, Dara.
"The second bonus recipe is 200 ml of hot water with 1 tablespoon of honey, cook over low heat, add mashed two ripe bananas. Bring to a boil over low heat. Give 1 spoon three times a day, hot. For a three days. The course is 10 days. Cough Remedy! " noted the system
.
"Well, d.a.m.n it, how will I grow bananas in the temperate zone?" asked a rhetorical question into the void of Dara.
"If you want, you can and will not look for excuses"! reasonably objected to the system.
Jin. In Dara"s head, again, something tinkled in the knowledge base, he felt the names of two promised treatises: "Natural remedies for treating eyes and joints and natural remedies for treating skin lesions and diseases".
"Well, was it worth it to spend the whole day for the sake of these treatises"? said gloomily, tired and sleepy, rubbing his bruised places, Dara.
"And what do you say, dear man?" Grandfather Maruf intervened in his conversation.
"So the tea has arrived, let"s have a drink, let"s talk about life"!
Grandfather and Dara sat near the bench in folding chairs and drank milk oolong, looked at the falling sun over the horizon, drank tea. Spoke and life. Slowly darkness enveloped them. But they were not cold, they were rushed by the conversation.
They had to drive 40 minutes to Grandfather Maruf"s summer cottage, and 10 minutes to Dary"s farm. Having loaded some simple belongings into their grandfather"s small truck, they decided to spend time at a late dinner at the farm. Grandfather decided to stay with Dara and share his farming experience, and Dara got the opportunity to prepare recipes for free. Everyone was satisfied.
During the conversation, Maruf agreed to sell part of the products through the Dara farm store.
And Dara still had worked on the farm. He let her drift a long time ago. The system already set him new tasks.
The world was moving forward, the month of March was just beginning.
