Ling Zhenfei nodded. Back when he was recruiting, it was the same scenario—village heads personally came to him, begging him to send people their way.

"Uncle Wu, the village heads from the surrounding villages contacted me earlier. We've reached an agreement: the villagers' quality of work must be guaranteed. Lazy people will be immediately dismissed; we absolutely won't use them.

Additionally, we can expand our scope to include more distant villages. As long as they're active workers and have good character, they're welcome. We offer high salaries and good treatment here, so there's no worry about a lack of applicants."

Uncle Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Boss Ling, I'll definitely arrange everything properly for you."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and asked, "How's the ranch coming along?"

Zhang Duo replied, "The person in charge isn't here, so I'll speak for them. When you picked the location for the livestock farm, President Chen modified the plan. He broke it down and assigned the cattle, sheep, and wild boars to three different villages to set up factories. It's now in the final stages."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Make sure to choose professional talent for this; it absolutely can't be messed up, especially with the cattle—go to Japan to study how Wagyu is raised."

Having had Wagyu beef in Japan before, Ling Zhenfei found it remarkably unique and memorable, which sparked this idea. Although the beef at Xi Shan Restaurant is imported from abroad, it still falls short compared to Wagyu.

"President Chen has already arranged all of this. We offer high wages, so the people switching jobs are very experienced. Even the grass seeds for the pasture are imported from abroad," Zhang Duo said.

Ling Zhenfei was very satisfied and asked, "How are the preparations for the villa opening going?"

Zhang Duo replied, "Everything's in place; we're just waiting for you, Boss Ling, to give it a kickstart."

"What do you mean?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"Your publicity—you have many friends, invite a few notable friends over, and the promotional effect could be tremendous," Zhou Yun said with a smile from the side.

"So that's your plan, huh? I can handle publicity, but our marketing department still needs to feel some pressure; we definitely need to ramp up promotions."

Zhou Yun said, "President Chen has already made arrangements. We've done promotions through TV, newspapers, and other media, and our Weibo has gathered quite a few fans. They're all very much looking forward to it."

The more they talked, the more excited everyone became. In the end, they drank quite a bit, and the jar of Hundred Flowers Drunk that Zhang Duo brought was finished.

Zhang Duo and the others left drunkenly, leaving Zhou Yun and Chunyu to tidy up the aftermath.

"Brother, can't you eat at someone else's house in the future? In the end, it's always me and Sister-in-law cleaning up,"

Chunyu grumbled to Ling Zhenfei, clearly troubled by the sight of all those dishes.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You have a point. In the future, let's have them serve us. Didn't Zhang Duo just mention it? That guy was setting traps on the mountain today. If a big snow falls later, we might catch some wild game by tomorrow and have something nice to eat."

Chunyu said, "What's so great about wild game? Bai Mei often catches things like muntjac and rabbits, but I'm not fond of eating them."

"What do you like to eat, then? Your brother will get it for you," Ling Zhenfei said, willing to go all out for his sister.

Chunyu thought for a moment and said, "Last time, Bai Mei chased a muntjac and then saw a peach tree at the edge of a cliff on Xianling Mountain's outskirts. It had about a dozen peaches on it, and he brought back two for me.

This fool didn't try them then, but when I ate one, it was absolutely delicious. It was even better than Heart-Talk Fruit. Though the peach wasn't quite as good as Heart-Talk Fruit, its unique taste was unforgettable."

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled, unsure what kind of fruit Chunyu was talking about—it sounded like it was delicious from the way she described it.

Chunyu's favorite fruit is Heart-Talk Fruit. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't have planted Heart-Talk Fruit around her house. Yet, according to her, even though this peach doesn't match Heart-Talk Fruit, it's unforgettable for her.

"How does this peach taste compared to the Ziling Fruit?" Ling Zhenfei asked Chunyu, wanting to confirm the taste of the Ziling Fruit again.

Chunyu said, "If I were to rank them, in my heart, first place would be Heart-Talk Fruit, second would be that peach, and third would be Ziling Fruit."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised; the peach's ranking indeed surpassed Ziling Fruit.

Ling Zhenfei asked in amazement, "So, did you save any of the peach seeds?"

Chunyu shook her head, "At the time, I didn't think about it. After eating, I just casually threw them away."

A thought struck Ling Zhenfei—if he had the seeds from this fruit, using the powerful Northern Spiritual Energy in Xuantian Spirit Spring Water, he should be able to cultivate the fruit rapidly.

"Alright, Chunyu, how about I head up the mountain tomorrow morning to pick some fruits for you?"

Chunyu said, "Better forget it. It's about to snow heavily, and besides, who knows if there are even any peaches left on the mountain? Why bother going."

Chunyu made a valid point. Peaches ripen in the fall, and even if they're not picked, they'd fall by winter. It's unlikely there are any now.

But for Chunyu, with her curiosity about the Ziling Fruit, he decided to go up the mountain tomorrow to try his luck and see if he could find this mysterious fruit.

Xianling Mountain is like a massive treasure chest, with unknown wonders inside. No one knows if there are remnants left by immortals.

Others might not know, but Ling Zhenfei did. He'd heard from Zhou Mi back in Yunchuan that within Xianling Mountain's Inner Mountain, there's a special space that opens once every twenty years.

The minimum requirement to enter this space is the Realm of Reaching Wisdom. This Secret Realm is filled with Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicines. Perhaps a single seed of an immortal peach was accidentally left on Xianling Mountain's outskirts.

However, these are all just speculations by Ling Zhenfei, so who knows for sure?

Therefore, Ling Zhenfei planned to go up the mountain tomorrow and explore, see if he can enter Xianling Mountain given the heavy snowfall blocking the mountain pass.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei got up bright and early. He knew it was snowing heavily last night but didn't expect it to be this much. As he stepped outside, all he could see was snow.

Ling Zhenfei's place is within the range of Xianling Mountain, and the snow here is never light each year. In the past, when the roads were bad, a big snow would seal off the mountain. Now the roads are improved, but if they're not cleared in time, it would still be a challenge with the heavy snow.

Although Ling Zhenfei got up quite early, there were still people who rose even earlier than him, busily clearing the snow from the roads outside.

"Uncle Wu, why are you up so early?"

Surprisingly, the one sweeping outside was Uncle Wu. Known as a kind old man, he would often clean the roads.

Uncle Wu looked over at Ling Zhenfei, "Zhenfei, why are you up so early? You've been so busy, now that you can finally rest, why not take a few more days off?"

Privately, when no one's around, people like to call him Zhenfei—a habit from before.

"Something's on my mind, so I woke up without realizing it, just came out for a look."
