Chapter 181 - Try Hard It Might Work

Watching Boss Lin dash off, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin exchanged smiles and then followed him.

“Boss Lin’s expression when he sees the wild mushrooms will definitely be priceless,” Wu Kexin said with a laugh.

Chen Yang nodded, “Of course, he was so adamant that wild mushrooms couldn’t be cultivated, and now he’s been proven wrong.

His expression must be exceptionally priceless.”

“Haha, since that’s the case, we shouldn’t miss it.

Let’s hurry and catch up to have a look,” Wu Kexin chuckled and naturally grabbed Chen Yang’s hand, quickly heading towards the greenhouse.

Suddenly being pulled by Wu Kexin, Chen Yang was initially startled.

Then he felt a slight joy inside.

The two followed Boss Lin all the way to the greenhouse.

“Boss Chen, where’s the key to the greenhouse?

Could you get it out for me so I can open up and have a look?” Boss Lin asked excitedly, turning back to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked at Boss Lin’s excited face, his smile never fading.

“Here you go,” Chen Yang said, pulling out the keys from his pocket and tossing them to Boss Lin.

Boss Lin caught the keys and without a word opened the door to the greenhouse.

Upon opening the door, it was a white sea inside.

The wild mushrooms were growing vigorously and were very lush.

Even though Chen Yang came every day to pick them, the wild mushrooms in the greenhouse were still in abundant patches.

This was because every day, many wild mushrooms grew from the nutrient layers.

Seeing the patches of wild mushrooms, Boss Lin was stunned on the spot.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he suddenly turned into excitement.

“This…

this is miraculous!

Can wild mushrooms really be cultivated?” Boss Lin, filled with excitement, plucked a wild mushroom and then examined it closely and sniffed its scent.

After messing with it for a long time, he finally confirmed that these were indeed wild mushrooms.

Having confirmed it, the expression on Boss Lin’s face became even more excited.

He walked up to Chen Yang and excitedly asked, “Boss Chen, how…

how did you cultivate these wild mushrooms?”

Chen Yang smiled and then teasingly said, “Boss Lin, do you believe now?”

Boss Lin was taken aback; then, remembering his firm tone earlier, and how he had scolded Chen Yang, he couldn’t help but feel his face heat up.

“Boss Chen, I believe now.

I really didn’t expect you to be so capable, I, Lin, was ignorant.

I’m really sorry,” Boss Lin said apologetically, his face red from embarrassment.

Chen Yang hadn’t really blamed Boss Lin, so when Boss Lin apologized so sincerely, Chen Yang immediately waved his hand, “There’s no need for that, Boss Lin, just remember not to be too sure of yourself next time.”

Boss Lin nodded, “You’re right, I was too arrogant.”

After nodding, Boss Lin couldn’t help but continue to inquire.

“Boss Chen, now can you tell me how exactly did you manage to cultivate wild mushrooms?” Boss Lin asked eagerly, his face full of desire.

He hoped to understand exactly how the wild mushrooms were cultivated.

Meanwhile, his tone when speaking to Chen Yang also became more respectful.

From ‘you’ to ‘you’ in honorific form.

Regarding Boss Lin’s sensitive question, Chen Yang thought for a moment and then said, “I cultivated them by observing the natural environment of wild mushrooms and trying to replicate that, as for what the environment is, that I cannot disclose.”

Boss Lin was silent for a moment and then looked at Chen Yang in astonishment, “Is it really that simple?”

“Yes, it’s that simple,” Chen Yang nodded.

Seeing Chen Yang nod, Boss Lin was again surprised inside.

He truly hadn’t expected it.

That so many scholars and entrepreneurs who wanted to cultivate wild mushrooms had actually been succeeded by the man before him.

And the method seemed quite simple, which was really shocking.

“Cultivating wild mushrooms is indeed difficult, but it’s not impossible.

You are an expert in this area, so try to study it when you go back; perhaps you can cultivate them too.

But for today, let’s talk about my greenhouse instead.” Seeing Boss Lin fall silent, Chen Yang immediately stepped forward, patting him on the shoulder with a smile like an elder encouraging a junior.

If this had been before, Boss Lin would have been full of disdain.

But now that he knew Chen Yang had cultivated wild mountain mushrooms, he didn’t have much of an attitude left.

After figuring out how Chen Yang had done it, Boss Lin circled the entire greenhouse several times.

By his demeanor, he had developed a great interest in the wild mountain mushrooms.

But indeed, who wouldn’t be interested in wild mountain mushrooms that cost seven hundred yuan a pound?

“Hehe, okay, let’s start with the greenhouse first.” Boss Lin stopped his train of thought, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then followed Chen Yang and Wu Kexin out of the greenhouse to the newly acquired plot of land.

Looking at the vast empty space, Boss Lin nodded his head, directly indicating that there was no problem with the site.

However, he then asked Chen Yang for his construction opinions.

Chen Yang outlined everything he wanted, describing it in great detail.

“There are no limitations on the rules, but the scale must be large; we must utilize every bit of the land,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

Boss Lin nodded, “That’s no problem.

I’ll just build the foundation along the edge of this plot, ensuring that every centimeter of the land you’ve secured is maximized to its fullest potential.”

“Good, if there are no other issues, let’s start the construction now, as it’s getting late,” Chen Yang said, looking up at the sun.

Talking to Boss Lin about the wild mountain mushrooms had taken up a lot of time.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half past eleven.

We won’t be able to work much longer before it’s time for lunch again.

“Alright, I’ll start the work now and try to get the foundation done today.”

With that, Boss Lin turned and headed back to the parking spot, then, along with his crew, began unloading materials from the vehicle, getting ready to start the construction.

Watching the busy Boss Lin and others, Wu Kexin whispered to Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, aren’t you worried that telling Boss Lin how the wild mountain mushrooms grow might lead him to cultivate them too?”

Hearing Wu Kexin’s question, Chen Yang was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and laughed, “If I were worried, I wouldn’t have told him.”

“Why aren’t you worried?” Kexin asked curiously, her eyes wide with confusion as she turned her head to look at him.

“Because although it sounds easy to mimic the growing environment of wild mountain mushrooms, it’s actually very difficult.

I doubt anyone else could manage it besides me,” Chen Yang said seriously, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin was taken aback.

Then she rolled her eyes at him.

“So conceited.”

Chen Yang just smiled and said nothing.

Because he knew very well that his ability to cultivate wild mountain mushrooms relied on the analytic capabilities of “King of Medicine,” something he had managed to achieve.

Although Boss Lin was an expert, he didn’t have the same abilities, so there was no way he could replicate it.

Even if he managed to, it definitely wouldn’t be as good as Chen Yang’s, so he wasn’t worried at all.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin stood on the ridge, watching Boss Lin work for a while.

As the sun reached its zenith and the local villagers began shouldering their hoes, preparing to head home for lunch,

Chen Yang also took Wu Kexin back with him.

On the way back, Chen Yang specifically stopped by Uncle Niu’s house at the entrance of the village and picked out some ice cream.

Seeing the ice cream Chen Yang took out of Uncle Niu’s freezer, Wu Kexin instantly recognized them as premium brands, which were quite expensive.

After a moment of surprise, she teased, “Not bad, now that you’re making money, you’re being generous.

Even treating a girl to ice cream, you’ve gone for Häagen-Dazs.”

Chen Yang laughed awkwardly.

“I just picked it at random, didn’t pay attention to the brand.”

With that, Chen Yang took one out and handed it to Wu Kexin, “Try it, though it’s a bit pricey, it still tastes pretty good.”

Wu Kexin laughed as she took it.

“Of course, it’s a global brand; how could it be expensive if it wasn’t delicious?”

“Hehe, true,” Chen Yang nodded and then, holding his ice cream, walked back with Wu Kexin.
