Chapter 131 - Quite Capable

Having transported two full baskets of dark soil into the greenhouse, the area it covered was not very large.

Therefore, Chen Yang still needed to go back to dig more soil and transport it into the greenhouse.

It was hard physical labor, but Chen Yang had to do it alone.

All morning, Chen Yang couldn’t even count how many times he had transported the dark soil.

Only after all the dark soil had covered the entire greenhouse did Chen Yang leave, thoroughly satisfied.

“After waiting a few days for this soil to ferment, we can introduce the fungi.

I believe this time, there definitely won’t be any mistakes,” he said.

Chen Yang was exhausted, but the thought of successfully cultivating his wild mushrooms instantly filled him with joy.

Carrying the basket back home, he found Wu Kexin was helping him look after the clinic.

After dropping off the basket and the hoe in the backyard, Chen Yang immediately went up to express his gratitude, “Thank you, Mayor, for looking after the clinic for so long.”

“Why be so formal?

It feels really awkward,” Wu Kexin said, feeling a bit of goosebumps upon hearing Chen Yang’s thanks.

It was like when two good friends suddenly say thank you to each other.

“Haha, then I won’t be so formal from now on,” Chen Yang understood Wu Kexin’s meaning, taking it as a sign of close friendship.

It was already nearing noon at this time.

The sun overhead was extremely hot.

The two sat in the clinic for a while, and after Chen Yang felt rested enough, he got up to make lunch.

And before going, he invited Wu Kexin to stay for lunch at his house.

Wu Kexin didn’t refuse, and even mentioned wanting to drink a little wine to celebrate the completion of the greenhouse.

“Alright, then wait a bit, once I’ve prepared the meals, I’ll go buy a couple of bottles from Uncle Niu,” Chen Yang said.

Wu Kexin wanting to drink made Chen Yang quite happy.

He cheerfully turned around and headed to the kitchen, and after quickly preparing a lavish lunch, he took some cash and went towards the beginning of the village.

The village’s entrance was bustling around noon too.

Because at this time, the aunties from the fields were all coming back and had to pass through the village entrance.

Seeing Chen Yang, the aunties approached him to chat.

“Yang Zi, how’s the greenhouse coming along?

How much do you think you can make from these mushrooms?”

“Yang Zi, what’s so special about your mushrooms that you need a greenhouse to grow them?”

“How much did the construction cost yesterday?

Must have been quite pricey!

Didn’t expect you to have some real assets, kid.”

The aunties were all gossiping, as Chen Yang’s recent displays had truly amazed them.

First setting up a breeding factory, dishing out more than a hundred thousand all at once, then taking care of various things around the village.

And then there were also luxury cars and beautiful women visiting Chen Yang’s house from time to time.

In the last few days, he had even set up a greenhouse to grow mushrooms.

The village aunties hadn’t been exposed to much, but judging from Chen Yang’s recent activities, they all felt that he was about to soar.

Understandably, they wanted to form a good relationship with Chen Yang early on.

And since Chen Yang was the only man in the village, even if he wasn’t wealthy, they needed to forge a good relationship with him.

After all, if anything happened in the village, they’d have to rely on Chen Yang to stand up for them.

“Haha, aunties, my greenhouse has not succeeded yet.

When it does, I’ll tell you all about the variety of mushrooms and definitely bring Liuhe Village along to prosper together,” Chen Yang answered with a laugh and vaguely.

Chen Yang always believed that before achieving success, one must not make a big fuss about it.

Otherwise, if it ended up not succeeding, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

“Hahaha!

Then, Auntie will be waiting for you to succeed and to get rich together with Liuhe Village!” Hearing Chen Yang’s promise, the aunties were incredibly excited.

As a college graduate, Chen Yang’s words held great believability for them.

The aunts laughed as they left with their hoes on their shoulders.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, was knocking on Uncle Niu’s door.

With the experiences of the past few times, as soon as Uncle Niu saw Chen Yang, he immediately turned around without a word and went straight to the freezer to get a beer.

“Yang Zi, you’re still young, try to drink less of this stuff; it bloats the stomach.” Uncle Niu, while taking out the beer, didn’t forget to kindly remind Chen Yang.

Chen Yang smiled, “Got it, Uncle Niu.”

“By the way, Uncle Niu, how is your pond coming along?

Do you need to restock with new fish fry?” Chen Yang suddenly remembered the previous incident with Fu Deyou, so he asked.

Uncle Niu’s face brightened up even more when this was mentioned.

“The pond has been almost cleaned up, and I’m planning to find some time to get some fish fry.

I also need to add some items to the store,” Uncle Niu answered with a smile and then added, “At that time, I may need your help once again to fetch some goods from the city for me.”

“No problem, as long as I’m available,” Chen Yang straightforwardly agreed and then took the beer and left.

When he got home, Kexin had efficiently set up the table with dishes and utensils.

She even prepared the fan and some cold water.

Seeing Chen Yang return, she hurriedly waved, “You’re finally back, come eat, I’m starving.”

“Haha, okay.” Chen Yang smiled casually and went over with the beer.

He set down the beer by his feet, and they both began to eat.

After transporting black soil all afternoon, Chen Yang was really tired.

And since he hadn’t eaten much for breakfast, he was already hungry.

The duo hardly talked while they were eating, their minds mostly on enjoying the food and the beer,

Chen Yang’s cooking was delicious, and the beer was a perfect complement to the hot weather outside.

They comfortably ate for over an hour before they finally stopped.

“Chen Yang, who taught you to cook?

Why is your cooking so delicious?” After they finished eating, Kexin suddenly asked curiously.

Chen Yang touched his full belly, smiling somewhat proudly, “It’s a natural talent that doesn’t require learning from anyone.”

“Pssh!

I don’t believe that.

You must have learned it from some girls in college,” Kexin rolled her eyes at him and spoke with a hint of jealousy.

Seeing Kexin’s expression, Chen Yang could not help but chuckle lightly, then he fell silent.

He walked over to the rocking chair at the clinic and dozed off.

When he woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

Chen Yang groggily stood up from the rocking chair and looked around the inner room, noting that the midday dishes and beer bottles had all been tidied up.

But Kexin was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Yang thought to himself that she might have gone back to the village office.

“Didn’t expect she was so capable.” Admiring the neatly arranged dishes and the clean table, Chen Yang smiled.

Then he turned and headed to the pheasant breeding farm.

He planned to select some pheasants from the farm and send them to Lim Tianxia.

He wanted to test if the “Nourishing Pill” would have any effect on the meat quality.

If the Nourishing Pill indeed affected the meat quality, he would stop feeding it to the animals; he would rather the animals grow slower than have their meat quality be affected.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yang arrived at the pheasant breeding farm and selected ten very plump pheasants.

“It’s you guys.”

Chen Yang didn’t bring a cage, so he could only command the pheasants to follow him.

Since it was the afternoon and the fields were busy,

in order not to scare the aunts, Chen Yang specifically chose some back paths, avoiding people’s eyes as he made his way home.
