Chapter 2933 Leisure Time (III)
Once this idea appeared in his mind, it took root and sprouted uncontrollably, and became clearer and clearer.
After all, Schiller was a Chinese in his previous life, and his love for the land was innate. In fact, he really knew how to grow vegetables, but the situation in Gotham and New York did not allow him to show this skill.
Schiller recalled that when he was a child in the research institute, the door to the rooftop was always locked, and the cleaning lady also told him not to go up. At that time, he was wondering what was on the rooftop.
Of course, he had many terrifying ideas, such as some strange laboratory on it, or alien spaceships.
So one day he followed the dean, and the old man opened the door to the rooftop with a hoe. Schiller saw various plastic greenhouses on the rooftop, and rows of ridges were planted with vegetables. Schiller was not allowed to go up because he was afraid that he would pull up the seedlings.
Later, the dean found that Schiller was very interested in this mysterious vegetable field, and occasionally brought him up to teach him how to open ridges, how to build sheds, how to sow, fertilize and water.
At that time, Schiller still basically did not know how to do anything, but he remembered all these things. Later, when he was a professor at the university, he also went to the agricultural college to practice.
In fact, his vegetable planting skills were mediocre among Chinese people, and he was barely able to plant vegetables, but he was considered a semi-professional farmer here, and because mechanized agriculture was popularized too early in the United States, even many professional farmers could no longer plant vegetables by hand.
It must be said that the agricultural conditions in the United States are really tempting. Schiller only took a look at the farms in the suburbs of the East Coast. Even if he just stood on the tractor, he could see the endless sea of wheat on the vast plains.
There is another advantage to buying a farm, that is, it is not a one-time deal. Although taxes have to be paid, the farm has output. The money earned is not rich, but it is generally no problem to offset the tax. Moreover, according to different state policies, the acquisition of some poorly managed farms can be tax-free.
This kind of rich-style social farm has been very popular in recent years. It is an industry with low input and high output, and there are many additional values.
The only trouble is that after all, it is the primary industry labor, which is easy to go wrong. Generally, rich people leave it to the manager to manage. If Schiller does not hire professionals, he will have to spend a lot of time on the operation of the farm.
Then Schiller thought again, can the sanatorium and the farm be combined? As far as he knows, there are also many farms around the West Coast. They are not as big as those in the central part, but the climate and convenience are much better.
Thinking of this, Schiller took his mobile phone to open the map of California, and then he found that there were two farms for sale in the Moss Landing area, which were much larger than he imagined, but the price was much more expensive than the farms in the central part.
He looked at the map carefully and found that one of the farms was not far from the most famous 17-mile coastline. Just from the map, you can see that the natural scenery here is quite good.
California has unique natural conditions. The rain and heat conditions are very suitable for the growth of various fruit trees. In addition, the coastline is long and the natural scenery is beautiful. Many farms here are social tools for both production and sightseeing.
Schiller wrote down the sales phone number. After getting off the shuttle, he found the place where he lived before and knocked on the door. No one responded. He thought it might not be rented out yet, so he looked through the mailbox.
The invitation sent by Stark was indeed stuffed here. He did not open it immediately, but put it in his coat pocket. After returning to the shuttle, he was sprayed with ribbons on his face as soon as he opened the invitation.
Stark is worthy of playing some tricks on his invitation. Schiller looked carefully and found that it did say that the guests were invited to go to the hotel in Los Angeles on the 5th, and then go to Hollywood to attend the wedding ceremony.
Normally, they could get the marriage certificate first and then hold a complicated wedding. But for Stark and Pepper, getting the marriage certificate was not easy. They had to do property notarization and sign a lot of contracts, so they had to wait until next month to become a real legal couple.
Schiller thought he could take the opportunity of attending the wedding to go to California for an inspection. If he could really buy a suitable farm, it would be good to transform it into a sanatorium.
And he happened to have a group of energetic teenagers here. They might not be interested in building a villa, but if it came to transforming a farm, wouldn't they have a lot of fun?
After returning to the nursing home, it was lunch time. As expected, none of the people who went out to have fun came back. They probably ate outside.
An unexpected but reasonable person visited Arkham Sanatorium, that is Stark with his child.
"You can take a look." He looked energetic and a little haggard at the same time, which was very consistent with the state of a novice father who loved his children. He was energetic because his daughter was really cute, and haggard because it was really difficult to take care of her.
Schiller picked up little Morgan. It was hard to tell what the baby looked like at the time of birth, but Stark said excitedly, "Look, her eyebrows and eyes are like mine, and her mouth and chin are like her mother's. She has inherited the best of both of us perfectly."
"I heard there was a problem during the birth."
"Oh, yes, because she was a lively little girl, and she turned over in the stomach when she was about to be born, causing the fetal position to be a little abnormal, but fortunately it was safe."
"How is Pepper recovering?"
"The family doctor you introduced to me was great. Although the herbal soup smelled terrible, Pepper obviously felt very good. I think it was the feeling of being taken care of that made her feel happy. ”
Schiller hugged little Morgan and shook it. Unexpectedly, she cried again. Stark reflexively took out the milk powder and bottle from under the stroller and went to make milk powder for little Morgan.
"Pepper can't breastfeed?"
"Yes, I heard from the doctor that there seems to be a problem with her lactation system. Her milk supply is too little. Fortunately, the formula of milk powder is very good now. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with her last physical examination."
Seeing Stark's skillful operation of brewing milk powder and testing the temperature, Schiller knew that he must have taken care of the child a lot recently. Sure enough, Stark proudly said: "Ever since birth, night milk has been I said, I think she will call daddy first, what do you think?"
Schiller felt that because mother's pronunciation is simpler, most babies call mother first.
As soon as the bottle was put in his mouth, little Morgan stopped crying. Schiller really saw a bit of Stark in this little face.
After putting the child back in the stroller, the little baby soon became sleepy after eating. Schiller hummed a few lullabies, and she fell asleep until her nose was filled with snot.
"It doesn't sound like the lullaby that Pepper sang." Stark said softly, and then he hummed a few words, which were not in the same tune as Schiller.
"This is the Eastern version," Schiller said.
He stood up and showed the printed map to Stark, and the two came to the window and began to study the possibility of buying a farm.
Stark looked at the map and said, "I never thought you would catch up with the trend. I heard that many people are investing in farms recently, but not many of them are really making money."
"What do you think about the combination of a farm and a nursing home?"
"It's a good idea. Many rich people in big cities like natural scenery very much, but they find it troublesome to take care of their farms. If they can stay in a farm sanatorium for a period of time, it will give them a lot of things to talk about socially. The question is, can you Have you taken care of the farm?"
"I've been thinking about it too, maybe hiring a full-time manager."
At this time, Ultron's voice suddenly appeared. He said, "Gentlemen, is there a possibility that I am the most versatile manager in the world?"
"Can you take care of the farm?"
"Not yet... OK, I will."
"That's no problem." Schiller weighed the map in his hand and said, "The next step is the most important on-site visit and price negotiation. How much do you think is more cost-effective?"
Stark thought for a while. When he was thinking, he would subconsciously look left and right, but as soon as he turned his head to the left, he was stunned.
He turned his head back, rubbed his eyes, looked at Schiller and said, "Am I hallucinating? Why did I see little Morgan flying in the sky???"
Schiller was stunned when he turned his head. He turned back to look at Stark and said, "I don't think this is an illusion. She seems to be really flying in the sky."
The two rushed forward immediately. Schiller grabbed little Morgan, who had flown to a height of more than two meters. He checked and found that there was nothing wrong with her. She was sleeping soundly.
"I feel the power of magic." Stark said, "Isn't she under some magic curse?"
"Probably not. Wait a minute, has she inherited your magical power?" Schiller asked.
"How do I have any magical power... You can't talk about magic core, right?"
Schiller gently put little Morgan back into the stroller, then closed the lid of the stroller. He said softly: "After all, you have been promoted to the Iron Demon God, and you can no longer be regarded as a complete human being. The soul ignition thing The matter itself is somewhat mysterious, and it is not surprising that little Morgan inherited the magical power of the Iron Demon."
"Oh my God," Stark said, "What should I tell Pepper? It's probably hard for her to accept that her daughter will have to be a superhero in the future."
"You have to let her look away, because she doesn't have superpowers, and she might want to be a superhero in the future. Now that she has superpowers, at least she's a lot safer, isn't she?"
Stark was silent. He put the knuckles of his fingers to his mouth and pressed his lips, and said vaguely: "We both hope that she can grow up safely."
"But you know this is unlikely. On the one hand, she is your eldest daughter and will definitely inherit the Stark Group in the future. On the other hand, almost all of your friends are superheroes. When she grows up a little, she will After spinning in this circle, do you think she won’t want to inherit your legacy?”
When it came to inheritance, Stark's eyes began to shine, as if he thought of something wonderful, but soon he became a little depressed. He said: "This is destined to be a difficult and dangerous road."
"But if you don't let her become a superhero, won't she encounter difficulties and dangers?" Schiller shook his head and said: "The life of ordinary people is not easy at all. Since she is destined to shoulder responsibilities, it is better to grow up as a child. Train her well so that she will be more relaxed in the future.”
"I will discuss it with Pepper. By the way, I haven't told you the details of the wedding yet. Please help me see if there are any problems in these aspects..."
The daily routine begins!
