Chapter 128 - Bulk Purchase

Chen Yang was still very familiar with the county town.

After entering the county town, he went straight towards the market of agricultural products.

After shopping for most of the day, he had gathered all sorts of things.

Chen Yang had wanted to continue browsing to avoid making another trip later, but seeing the fully packed truck bed, he had no choice but to head back.

The electric tricycle, loaded with items, was notably slower than when he had set out.

Fortunately, the electric tricycle was still functioning.

Despite moving very slowly, he eventually made it back to Willow River Village.

Back in Willow River Village, Chen Yang immediately drove the tricycle to the backyard and unloaded all the equipment from it.

He picked up the herbicide and other equipment, charged the electric tricycle, and then immediately headed towards the greenhouses.

Reaching the field, Chen Yang saw a large group of people busily working.

It wasn’t just the workers brought by Boss Lin who were busy, but also about five or six village aunties, who were turning the soil with hoes.

The aunties were working fast, and in the time it took him to buy the items, they had nearly turned over an entire acre of dry land turf.

“They’re really fast!

I thought it would take a while longer,” Chen Yang said as he approached Wu Kexin.

Wu Kexin, who had been focusing intently on the scene, suddenly jumped when she heard someone speaking next to her.

Seeing that it was Chen Yang, she frowned slightly, “What are you doing popping up like that!

Why did it take you so long to buy a few things?”

Chen Yang laughed and replied, “I bought a lot of things, naturally it took some time.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin responded with an “Oh,” and then continued to supervise.

The two of them were silent for a moment when the aunties had already turned over all the dry land at the site.

And the construction crew’s greenhouse framework was also already set up.

“Yang Zi, what’s with you setting up a mushroom cultivation!

Aren’t there plenty of mushrooms up in the mountains?” After finishing work, all the aunties came over and asked with a smile.

Chen Yang smiled faintly, “Ladies, the mushrooms in the mountains are not the same as the ones I’m raising.”

After briefly explaining, he then took out several hundred yuan bills he had prepared from his pocket.

After distributing a hundred yuan to each of the aunties, they all walked away happily.

As they left, they kept praising, “Yang Zi is really generous!

He’s sure to make a fortune in the future!”

Hearing these words, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing more.

After sending the aunties away, Boss Lin from the construction crew also came over with his team.

He first looked at Wu Kexin, then at Chen Yang and said, “Boss Chen, the foundation has been laid down, and we will come over tomorrow to cultivate the nutrient layer!”

“Good, thank you all for your hard work,” Chen Yang replied.

“Before we cultivate the nutrient layer, though, I need you to give me the original specimens of the mushrooms you want to plant, so I can go back and study them,” Boss Lin said.

“Oh!

I’ve got them prepared for you already, come with me,” Chen Yang responded.

“Good.”

Before the construction crew arrived, Wu Kexin had already briefed him, so he went to the old locust forest to pick some mushrooms.

He led Boss Lin and others to the medical hall.

Chen Yang went into the inner room and took out the wild mushrooms he had prepared, handing them to Boss Lin.

“These are the ones I want to cultivate,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

Boss Lin took the wild mushrooms, looked at them for a moment, then slightly frowned.

“Boss, this type of mushroom is incredibly difficult to cultivate!

Are you sure you want to grow this kind?” Boss Lin asked, frowning.

“Yes, this is the one,” Chen Yang nodded naturally.

Upon hearing this, Boss Lin’s frown deepened even more.

“Then I must warn you, the difficulty of cultivating this mushroom is very high, and I’m not confident that I can grow them successfully.”

Hearing this, Wu Kexin to her side was slightly shocked.

“Boss Lin, you’re considered an expert in mushroom cultivation, and even you’re not confident?” Wu Kexin said in disbelief.

“Yes,” Boss Lin nodded, explaining, “This wild mountain mushroom is of very high quality and generally only grows in very special environments.

I’ve tried many times in the past but have never succeeded.”

“After studying it for a while, I came to conclusion that it’s impossible to cultivate, so I gave up.”

Boss Lin spoke candidly, sharing his experience with cultivating wild mountain mushrooms.

Wu Kexin was even more surprised upon hearing this.

However, Chen Yang showed no change in expression.

Because he had already known that this would be Boss Lin’s reaction after seeing the wild mountain mushrooms.

When Chen Yang had first encountered wild mountain mushrooms, Li Han had said that no one has been able to cultivate them yet.

“Chen Yang, cultivating these wild mountain mushrooms is so difficult…

maybe we should choose another type instead,” Wu Kexin said with some concern.

“Yes, boss, I also advise you to choose a different type of mushroom to cultivate.

It’s almost impossible to grow these wild mountain mushrooms,” Boss Lin also advised.

Chen Yang didn’t answer immediately but remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, “Boss Lin, I still want to give it a try, but don’t worry, if it doesn’t work out, it will be my problem.

I will still pay you for your labor.”

“But…

I can’t cultivate them at all!

Isn’t this a waste of both your time and mine?” Boss Lin said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He had come over this time to help Chen Yang cultivate mushrooms, but Chen Yang was asking him to cultivate a variety he had no confidence in, which felt like it was undermining his reputation.

Chen Yang understood what Boss Lin meant, so he said, “Boss, you just need to help me prepare the nutrient layer, set up the greenhouse, and cultivate the mycelium.

I’ll handle the cultivation myself.”

Hearing this, Boss Lin’s expression looked somewhat better.

“Fine then, let’s do that.

Tomorrow I will bring the equipment for cultivating the mycelium, and we’ll talk more then.”

Having said that, Boss Lin left with his workers.

After watching the vehicles drive away, Wu Kexin couldn’t help but say, “Chen Yang, Boss Lin has been cultivating mushrooms for over ten years, and even he can’t grow these mushrooms.

Let’s just forget it.”

Wu Kexin was really worried for Chen Yang.

After all, cultivating a batch of mycelium wasn’t cheap, and failing would mean wasting a lot of money.

“Hehe, Village Chief, have a little faith in me!

If Boss Lin can’t cultivate these wild mountain mushrooms, then I must cultivate them!

That’s the only way it will be tremendously profitable!” Chen Yang answered with a smile.

Seeing Chen Yang’s smiling face and the confidence in his eyes, Wu Kexin felt a stir in her heart.

Although she didn’t know where Chen Yang’s confidence came from, she chose to believe in him.

“Alright then, let’s do it your way,” Wu Kexin looked up at the sky, “It’s getting late, I should head back to the village office now.

I’ll come over again tomorrow.”

“Sure, let me walk you back.”

Chen Yang nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the village office together.

Along the way, the two of them didn’t fall silent.

They talked as they reached the village office.

“Bye, Chen Yang.”

Wu Kexin waved at Chen Yang and then turned around smiling as she walked back.

Chen Yang also smiled and waved back, then immediately turned around and returned to his clinic.
