Song Tian's Farm And His Daily Life

Song Tian surprised to see the pond is filled with a lot of baby fish, "Wow, since when did this happen?" he thought.

"Master, those two fish you caught several days ago coincidentally lay eggs. The eel is died after laying the eggs, and the catfish are sold automatically to me," Song Yi said.

Song Tian continued, "The catfish and eel eggs hatched at the same days and their growth time is estimated within five days," she said.

Song Tian looked at the fish stats, gasped, "Wow, isn"t this too much of coincidence? I"ve encountered stuff like this so many times in the novel I"ve read," he exclaimed.

Song Tian continued, "Whenever this stuff happens in the novel, I always wonder whether it"s a coincidence or the author is too lazy to makes stuff complicated. I didn"t expect it to happen in real life," he said.

[Eel]

- Name: Eel.

- Status: Growing.

- Estimated Times: 5 days.

[Catfish]

- Name: Catfish.

- Status: Growing.

- Estimated Times: 5 days.

Song Tian opened [Fishing Pond] section on his [Farm Interface] and saw there is a total of 150 catfish and 150 eels, "Why is it only a few of them? I think I remember eel can lays up to million eggs," he said.

Song Yi giggled, "Even if fish can lays a million of eggs, not all of them are fertilized. The fishing pond is only at the basic level, and the current limit of the eggs for each type of fish is 300 fertilized fish eggs," she said.

Song Yi continued, "The Basic Fishing Pond had built in egg storage to store the remaining unhatched eggs whenever the fishing pond is already full," she said.

Song Tian nodded, "Alright. I"m going to add another six square meters to the pond so all the eggs can be hatched," he said as he opens the [Building Interface].

Several moments later, Song Tian finishes expanding his fishing pond, and after he extended his pond, Song Tian saw the remaining baby catfish and eels appeared out of nowhere.

Song Tian also bought Seeds of Life which cost him $10.000 from Song Yi"s shop.

Song Yi told him that he doesn"t need to take care of it, he only needs to throw the seeds to the pond.

Looking at the five big seeds, Song Tian gently throws them to the pond, and the seeds disappeared just after it touched the surface of the water.

Song Tian then buys some fish feeds for the baby fish, and he went back to his cabin.

On the couch, Song Tian sent a message to w.a.n.g Hai. Since he won $500.000 from the festival, he decided to speed up his task from the fourth main quest, which is to build the barn.

w.a.n.g Hai told him that he will come soon and Song Tian went to open his shop with the cats.

Several moments later, w.a.n.g Hai arrived at Song Tian"s farm and went to the shop. Looking at Song Tian behind the cashier area handed the product to a customer, he decided to wait for his brother to finish the transaction.

After the customer left, w.a.n.g Hai asked, "Brother, how is the festival?" he said.

Song Tian smiled, "I get third place, that"s why I want to build the barn immediately," he said.

w.a.n.g Hai surprised, "You got into top three in that huge festival? Does that mean you"re third best in this country?" he said as he can"t attend the festival since he"s really busy with his work.

Song Tian shook his head, "Yes, but saying that I"m the third best in the country is still too early for me. There are a lot of amazing farmers out there, and I even met another young farmer," he said as he remembers Tom Hawkes.

Song Tian continued, "If I only bring a few of crops, I would"ve lost to that young farmer," he said since he won it by variety while the other points had the same amount with Tom Hawkes.

w.a.n.g Hai laughed, "Young farmer? d.a.m.n, you even got a rival on this field, huh," he said.

Song Tian nodded, "Yes, his name is Tom Hawkes," he said.

After talking for a while, w.a.n.g Hai went to take a note of Song Tian request about the barn.

Song Tian planned to build a barn enough for twenty, just barely sufficient for completing his quest.

Several minutes later, w.a.n.g Hai finishes with the notes, "Alright, I"ll email you immediately after I got the approval. Brother, are you sure you can handle it without a worker?" he couldn"t help but ask.

w.a.n.g Hai thought that a lot of crops, chickens, and shop his brother doing is already too much.

Song Tian smiled bitterly, "My income itself is already stable, but I need more than that if I consider hiring someone," he said.

From selling his product on the shop, Song Tian already makes minimal of $200/day, and sometimes he earned $1000 or more when some customers went to buy a lot of product for party and such.

Song Tian already planned to hire someone for his shop. But he needs to wait until his minimal incomes reached $300 or more, so he can be at ease when hiring a full-time worker.

w.a.n.g Hai looked at his brother"s income log, "This income is already enough for you to hire someone. How much are you planning to pay the worker?" he asked.

Song Tian pondered for a moment, "$20 per hour, and it will be 40 hours a week," he said.

Cold sweat started trickling from w.a.n.g Hai"s forehead, "For the flipping shop? What the fudge? Brother, our country"s average salary per hour is $15 per hour. That"s too much," he said.

Song Tian surprised, "Really?" he said as he didn"t know that the average salary on Archaine is $15 per hour.

w.a.n.g Hai smiled bitterly, "Of course, how come you didn"t know about this?" he said as he wipes his sweat. "Phew, if you really set it to $20 per hour, I can"t imagine how many would apply for the job," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "Alright, then I"ll set it to $16 per hour," he said as he didn"t expect that he already can hire a worker even with his minimal incomes.

At 3 PM, w.a.n.g Hai already left, and Song Tian is about to close his shop. After closing the door, he saw a truck, and a car just arrived in front of the small apartment.

Song Tian looked at the man, and a young kid stepped out of the car, his eyes lit up, "Finally, new neighbors," he said.
