136: Chapter 136: Microbial Community 136: Chapter 136: Microbial Community After spending a night outside, Chen Yang was on his way ho, his mind constantly filled with thoughts of the animals at ho and the greenhouse.
With him gone for a day, the animals must have been starving.
As for the greenhouse, he had no idea what condition it was in.
Chen Yang rushed ho at lightning speed.
After parking the electric tricycle, he imdiately went to the vegetable plot, pulled up so carrots to feed the wild boars, and then gathered so weeds and corn kernels to toss into the wild rabbit and wild chicken enclosures.
As the number of wild chickens increased and the range of movent in the iron cages was limited, the food supply in the Weed Slope area was no longer sufficient for them.
So Chen Yang had to carry a bucket or two of corn kernels to feed them every day.
After taking care of the corn kernels, Chen Yang suddenly rembered sothing.
He had prepared so wild chickens to send to Li Han the day before, allowing the hotel to try out the quality of his wild chicken at.
However, due to Li Han’s incident, he had forgotten about it.
Recalling this, Chen Yang imdiately pulled out his phone and sent a ssage to Li Han, ntioning his intention to deliver the wild chickens.
He soon received a reply.
Li Han was very willing to accept the wild chickens, as her hotel primarily used feed-raised chickens and was in need of wild ga.
“Good, I’ll bring them over now,”
Chen Yang replied with a smile and, after pocketing his phone, went inside to load the coops he had prepared yesterday onto his electric tricycle, then headed towards the county.
Around ten in the morning, Chen Yang arrived at Lintianxia Hotel.
Upon his arrival, the head chef Wang De imdiately ca out to greet him enthusiastically.
After handing over the wild chickens to Wang De, Chen Yang didn’t go up to Li Han’s office for a visit but chose to ride straight back ho instead.
There were still so chores awaiting him at ho.
He hadn’t had a chance to check on the tents he had set up yesterday.
If there was anything odd about them, it needed to be dealt with promptly.
Otherwise, the loss could be significant.
On the way back, Chen Yang was in a good mood.
Humming a tune all the way, he returned to Liuhu Village.
Upon arriving ho, Chen Yang went straight to inspect the greenhouse.
Wandering around the tent, he was pleased with the way the tree branches he had brought back from the locust forest and the pruned branches were almost fully integrated with the nutrient layer.
“As long as they integrate, I can recreate the environnt of the locust forest, and then I won’t have to worry about finding wild mushrooms,”
Chen Yang mumbled with satisfaction.
After several rounds of inspection in the greenhouse, Chen Yang didn’t rest.
He ran back ho to connect the water pipes he had bought from the county near the greenhouse.
Fortunately, the distance between the greenhouse and the village wasn’t too great, so Chen Yang’s water pipes could indeed be connected to the village’s water mains.
Water pipes are essential for cultivating wild mushrooms, as they only grow wildly after being exposed to water.
Chen Yang spent the whole day busy around the greenhouse.
He installed water pipes and did this and that—it was a busy day.
Only in the evening did he drag his tired body back ho.
Back at ho, Chen Yang cooked himself a lavish dinner, took a bath, and then lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
He thought that tomorrow would be the right ti to spread the spores.
Today, the nutrient layer in the greenhouse had evaporated nicely.
“I must tell the mayor this good news; she’s been worried about this quite a bit,” Chen Yang thought, then imdiately took out his phone and shared the news that he was ready to spread the spores with Wu Kexin.
After receiving the ssage, Wu Kexin first expressed happiness for Chen Yang but then regretfully said, “I’m sorry, Chen Yang, I have a eting in town tomorrow, so I won’t have ti to help you spread the spores.”
“Ah?
Got a town eting to attend?
Need to give you a lift?” Chen Yang replied.
“Of course I do!
Or else am I supposed to walk there?”
Seeing this ssage, Chen Yang chuckled, “Okay then, what ti are we leaving tomorrow?
I’ll take you.”
“How about nine o’clock.”
“Alright, then I’ll take you.”
With a smile, Chen Yang turned off his phone and went to bed.
The next day, he got up, washed up, had breakfast, and rode his electric tricycle to the village office.
“Village head, are we good to set off?”
He parked the tricycle at the entrance of the village office and shouted inside.
Hearing Chen Yang’s voice, Wu Kexin hurriedly grabbed a briefcase and walked out of her room.
“Why are you so early?
Didn’t we agree on nine o’clock?” Wu Kexin approached and asked.
Chen Yang took out his phone to check the ti and found it was only eight forty.
Chen Yang smiled and said, “Well, I was worried the tricycle might be slow and make you late!
Besides, getting there early doesn’t hinder anything.”
“That’s true.”
Wu Kexin nodded and then climbed into the vehicle’s cargo bed.
“Village head, hold on tight, I’m starting up,” Chen Yang cautioned Wu Kexin, then started the tricycle and headed towards the town.
On the way, Chen Yang felt a bit bored and started looking for a topic to discuss, “Village head, what’s the eting about in town?”
Wu Kexin sat in the cargo bed, looking at the surrounding fields and replied distractedly, “I don’t know either, but since the town’s notice has co down, I just have to go.”
Upon this response, Chen Yang just acknowledged it and didn’t ask any further.
But then, Wu Kexin suddenly brought up the subject of wild mushrooms.
“Chen Yang, where did you find out those wild mushrooms were so valuable?
And have you considered, with such high prices for the wild mushrooms, even if you cultivate them, can you find a steady buyer?” Wu Kexin asked with doubt.
“I learned about the wild mushrooms from Li Han, their hotel often deals with that stuff!
And as for the market, Li Han has also solved that for , her hotel is really short on wild mushrooms,” Chen Yang explained straightforwardly.
Chen Yang’s dealings with wild produce and wild mushrooms had been discussed with Li Han beforehand.
As long as they were cultivated successfully, they could supply whatever amount Li Han’s hotel required.
So he didn’t need to worry about finding buyers at all.
“So that’s how it is.
I was wondering why you suddenly got into this; turns out there was a recomndation,” comnted Wu Kexin, realizing the situation.
“Haha, it’s not really like that.
The idea to cultivate wild mushrooms was my own.
Actually, Li Han also feels the sa as you guys and didn’t want to get into wild mushrooms because she too thinks it involves a big investnt and the cultivation is tough.
It was who insisted on doing it,” Chen Yang said, laughing as he explained.
At this, Wu Kexin’s mood seed oddly cold as she let out an “Oh,” then fell silent.
This sudden coldness from Wu Kexin left Chen Yang sowhat puzzled.
Everything was fine just a mont ago, so why did she beco indifferent when he ntioned Li Han also advised against getting into wild mushrooms?
Chen Yang was baffled, but he didn’t say much else.
Before long, they arrived in the town, and Chen Yang dropped Wu Kexin off at the eting venue.
Wu Kexin alighted from the vehicle.
“Village head, how long is this eting going to take?
If it’s short, I could wait for you,” said Chen Yang imdiately after Wu Kexin got off.
“I don’t know how long it will take, but it won’t be before the afternoon.
You should head back first, and I’ll call you when it’s over,” Wu Kexin replied.
“Oh, okay then, I’ll head back first; call when you finish,” Chen Yang said upon realizing the eting wouldn’t end anyti soon, and turned around to go back.
He needed to hurry back to plant wild mushrooms.
After dropping Wu Kexin off, Chen Yang got back ho after nine o’clock.
The weather at that ti was very nice, neither hot nor cold, an ideal ti for work.
