Chapter 52 - 52nd Contracting Land

52: 52nd Chapter: Contracting Land 52: 52nd Chapter: Contracting Land Just as Chen Yang had finished loading the mushrooms onto the truck and was preparing to set off for the county to deliver them to Li Han, Wu Kexin suddenly showed up.

“Chen Yang,” Wu Kexin called out from the entrance of the clinic.

Hearing the shout, Chen Yang got down from the truck again and walked to the entrance of the clinic.

“Village head, how did it go?

Have you settled the matter of the contract?” Chen Yang asked with a smile.

“Yeah, it’s all settled.

The village has decided to contract those two plots of land directly to you!

The annual rent for Weed Slope is a thousand!

The forest is a bit more expensive, needing three thousand a year!

You can decide how long you want to rent them for,” Wu Kexin said in one breath, then took a contract out of her bag.

“That was fast,” said Chen Yang joyfully upon hearing this, and he immediately stepped forward to take a look at the contract.

The contract contained very standard terms, and Chen Yang merely glanced over it before nodding his head in agreement.

“Alright, then I’ll rent them for five years to start with!”

“Five years is fine.

Just write down the years and then sign, and that’s all,” Wu Kexin nodded, then took a pen out of her bag and handed it to Chen Yang.

“Haha, you’re well-prepared,” Chen Yang commented with a laugh, then took the pen and signed the contract.

After signing his name and specifying the rental period, Chen Yang handed the contract back to Wu Kexin.

“Alright, the contract is signed.

Now let’s discuss the rent.

Five years for Weed Slope will be five thousand, and the forest is fifteen thousand!

In total, that’s twenty thousand yuan.

You can bring this money to the village office when you have time later.

I’ll be leaving now,” Wu Kexin said as she took the contract and turned to leave.

But Chen Yang called out to stop her.

“Village head, there’s no need for that trouble.

Wait a moment; I’ll get it for you right now,” Chen Yang called out to Wu Kexin and then turned to go back into the clinic.

Wu Kexin was taken aback to hear that Chen Yang was ready to pay right then.

She had not expected that Chen Yang had already prepared the rent.

Wu Kexin stood outside the clinic waiting for a moment, and then saw Chen Yang coming out with two brand new stacks of bills in his hand.

“Here’s the twenty thousand.

Please count it,” Chen Yang said as he handed the money to Wu Kexin.

“I didn’t expect it, you really do have money.

I thought it would take you a while to gather twenty thousand,” Wu Kexin said incredulously as she took the money and looked at Chen Yang.

Faced with Wu Kexin’s gaze, Chen Yang immediately retorted with a smile, “I’ve been a doctor for so many years; I should have some savings, right?”

“That’s true,” Wu Kexin nodded, then took the money and contract and left.

After Wu Kexin had gone, Chen Yang quickly let down the clinic’s rolling door, hopped on his electric trike with the mushrooms, and set off.

Carrying two full baskets of wild mushrooms, he zoomed towards the county town.

On the way to the county town, Chen Yang also took out his phone to call Li Han, wanting to see if she was at the hotel.

“Li Han, are you at the hotel?”

The call connected, and Chen Yang asked.

“Not yet; I worked late last night because of the signature dish.

I just woke up,” Li Han’s voice through the phone sounded like she was still sleepy.

“Oh, that’s a shame.

I’m on my way to Lintianxia now.

I was actually hoping to see you, but it turns out you’re not there,” Chen Yang said with some regret.

The moment Li Han heard Chen Yang was on his way, her tone instantly became alert.

“You’re on your way now?” Li Han said with surprise.

“Yeah, I found some wild mushrooms in the mountains today and wanted to take them to sell to your hotel.

But since you’re not there, I’ll just go straight to Chef Wang,” Chen Yang nodded and then prepared to hang up the phone to contact Wang De.

But before he could hang up, he heard Li Han hastily stopping him on the other end of the phone.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t…

wait for me at the hotel for a bit, I’m coming over now.”

“Uh…

alright, then hurry up,” Chen Yang replied.

With that said, Chen Yang hung up the phone and focused on riding the electric trike, speeding towards the county town.

It wasn’t long before Chen Yang arrived at the back courtyard of the Lintianxia Hotel.

Chen Yang’s electric tricycle had just entered the backyard when Li Han’s luxury car drove into the underground parking lot of Lintianxia Hotel from the main entrance.

After parking the car, Li Han immediately took the elevator, hurrying to the backyard.

“Yo, didn’t expect you to be so fast,” Chen Yang, sitting on his electric tricycle, said with a laugh as he saw the hurriedly arriving Li Han.

Looking at Chen Yang’s smiling face, Li Han couldn’t help but smile as well.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to be fast either.

We just talked about the wild mushrooms yesterday, and today you’ve already found them.” Li Han said as she walked up to Chen Yang and asked, “Where are the wild mushrooms?”

“Here.”

Chen Yang pointed at the tricycle’s bed and then pulled back the coarse cloth covering the wild mushrooms.

Two baskets full of wild mushrooms were revealed.

Seeing the two full baskets of wild mushrooms, Li Han was momentarily stunned.

She was already surprised that Chen Yang could find wild mushrooms so quickly, but she hadn’t expected him to bring so much all at once!

While she was still in shock, unsure what to say, Chen Yang spoke again.

“This time I’ve only brought two baskets to let you see if they’re the kind you want.

If they are, there’ll be even more in the future,” Chen Yang nonchalantly said.

Chen Yang’s airy words caused quite a stir in Li Han’s heart.

Because the most anyone ever sold on the market was a few pounds of wild mushrooms, she had never seen anyone like Chen Yang before.

Bringing two baskets and saying it was just a small part…

“Hmm…

okay, let me have a look first.” Li Han stepped forward, randomly picked a wild mushroom from one of the baskets to examine.

After a careful identification, Li Han smiled and nodded, “That’s right, this is a wild mushroom!

And it looks very fresh, they must have been picked not long ago, right?”

Seeing Li Han’s astonished look, Chen Yang smiled and nodded, “Yes, they were picked early this morning, and I brought them straight to you.”

“Wow Chen Yang, you’re really amazing,” Li Han couldn’t help but praise.

Now, Li Han truly felt that Chen Yang had some sort of magic; whenever she needed something, Chen Yang could always manage to acquire it very quickly.

It had been the case with the wild ginseng last time and the wild mushrooms this time.

And there was also the matter of Chen Yang curing her grandfather’s illness.

Now, she was wondering in her heart whether she should let Chen Yang have a look at her own problem…

maybe he could find a way to help her too?

“Hehe, it’s nothing to make a fuss about.

Wait until I figure out the cultivation method, then you can praise me,” Chen Yang said with a smile as Li Han pondered.

Her thoughts interrupted, Li Han stopped pondering.

Instead, she laughed and helped Chen Yang take down the two big baskets of mushrooms, then called Wang De to bring the accountant and a scale to purchase the mushrooms.

“Manager Li, these two baskets of mushrooms weigh a total of thirty-three pounds,” Wang De said, after weighing the mushrooms, looking up at Li Han.

Hearing this, Li Han glanced at the accountant beside her, “Thirty-three pounds, pay Chen Yang seven hundred per pound.”

“Understood, Manager Li.”

The accountant nodded promptly, and then took out her phone to transfer the payment to Chen Yang.

“Mr.

Chen, the total is twenty-three thousand one hundred dollars.

Please check your account,” the accountant said.

No sooner had the accountant spoken than the sound of a notification indicated that more than twenty thousand dollars had arrived on Chen Yang’s phone.

Seeing the amount appear on his phone, Chen Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart.

He hadn’t expected the mushrooms to be so valuable.

Just by picking mushrooms for one morning, he had earned back the money for leasing the village land for five years.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but think to himself that doing business really was the way to make money!

Those more than twenty thousand dollars…

If he had to earn it by treating illnesses, how long would that take?
