342: Chapter 342: Coming to Say Thanks with Milk 342: Chapter 342: Coming to Say Thanks with Milk Heipi’s move left Chen Yang sowhat puzzled.
“What are you doing?
Thank for what?”
Chen Yang was truly bewildered, as he hadn’t done any good deeds recently, and wondered why he was being thanked.
“Don’t be so modest,” said Heipi with a smile.
“The village chief said it all, the fact that our entire area could replace the electric cables and widen the roads, all of it is thanks to your good fortune.
Otherwise, how could sothing so great happen?”
With a smile, Heipi playfully thumped Chen Yang’s chest, thinking Chen Yang was just being too modest and pretending to know nothing about it.
“Oh…
that…”
But Chen Yang truly hadn’t expected Heipi to thank him for that, and it was only after Heipi ntioned it that he realized why.
However, once he ca to his senses, Chen Yang imdiately tried to give back all the milk and other items Heipi had brought.
“Thanks are thanks, but I cannot accept these gifts.
Take them back with you.”
Chen Yang refused the gifts with a smile.
But how could Heipi agree?
He had already brought them, and taking them back would look ridiculous.
So the two big n stood at the entrance of the clinic, pushing and shoving each other.
One didn’t want to accept, the other didn’t want to take them back.
In the end, Chen Yang reluctantly accepted them.
“Alright, I’ll take them.
When you go back, say hello to your village chief for ,” Chen Yang said helplessly.
“Sure thing, I’ll pass it on.”
Heipi slapped his chest heartily in assurance, and then Chen Yang pulled out two stools and sat there, chatting casually with Heipi for a bit.
He asked Heipi what he had been busy with recently, among other things.
Having a good ti chatting, Chen Yang even invited Heipi to stay for dinner at his house.
After dinner, when Chen Yang was about to head to the county to deliver lobsters, Heipi left.
Looking at the milk and fruit basket that Heipi had left behind, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.
Bringing these to him, was he supposed to eat them?
Chen Yang laughed and shook his head, then headed out to et Uncle Niu and Grandpa Xiao.
After picking them up, Chen Yang took on so of the lobsters.
Then he loaded them into the car at his doorstep and headed for the county.
Ever since Wang De was taught a lesson by Chen Yang, the other late-night snack shop owners around had beco increasingly respectful towards him.
They were deferential, and naturally, Chen Yang wasn’t going to take advantage of them like Wang De had.
He was cordial with them.
Everyone was happy with the transactions, and there were hardly any issues.
Having delivered the lobsters, Chen Yang had initially wanted to go and hang out with Gao Ya, but considering that she might be busy and that it wouldn’t be good to keep showing up unannounced, he abandoned the idea and drove the van back to Liuhe Village instead.
“After all, it won’t be a few days before I can see her again, there’s no need to rush,” Chen Yang reassured himself, then drove ho to take a shower and go to bed.
…
The next day, Chen Yang didn’t even wash his face or brush his teeth before heading straight to the greenhouse.
The mushroom culture had been spread two days prior, and by rights, there should be so seedlings by now.
That was why Chen Yang was so eager that he didn’t even bother with his usual morning routine before going to the greenhouse at the edge of the village.
And the greenhouse did not disappoint him.
Upon entering, he saw the ground covered with the white of wild mushrooms.
However, they were all just seedlings and not very large.
“Hiss…
All growing nicely, seems they’re more robust than the seedlings in the other greenhouses.”
Chen Yang inspected the young wild mushrooms closely and was thrilled to find a notable difference.
The seedlings in this greenhouse seed to be growing faster than those in the others.
While in the other greenhouses you could only see a tiny white dot poking out of the ground during the first couple of days, the seedlings in this greenhouse already had stems coming out.
“What’s going on here?
Could it be an issue with the nutrient layer?”
Chen Yang wondered to himself and decisively grabbed a small hoe to start digging and studying the nutrient layer.
But after much research, he realized that there was no difference between this nutrient layer and those in the other greenhouses.
“How strange, with the sa conditions, why is this one growing faster?”
Chen Yang wondered and, after thinking about it for a while without figuring it out, he stopped pondering it.
Anyway, faster growth wasn’t a bad thing.
Chen Yang dusted off his hands, removing all the black soil, then went aside to pick up the hose that was already connected and watered the wild mountain mushrooms.
Only with adequate moisture in the greenhouse could the wild mountain mushrooms grow faster and bring in profits sooner.
With all the hustle these days, Chen Yang had actually gained quite a lot.
The crayfish now brought him tens of thousands in earnings each day, plus the inco from the greenhouse and the farm.
Earning a hundred thousand a day was hardly an issue.
And now that the newly built greenhouse’s wild mountain mushrooms had been cultivated, he believed it wouldn’t take many days to start profiting from them.
However, this rate of earning money still didn’t satisfy Chen Yang.
A hundred thousand a day, three million or so a month.
There was still a bit of a gap from the goal of ten million.
Chen Yang detailedly calculated that at this rate, after one month, he would still co up a million short!
Lying in bed the day before, Chen Yang also thought carefully about where the remaining one million would co from.
After tossing and turning with thought for a while, Chen Yang eventually pinned his hopes on the dicated cuisine he was collaborating on with Li Han.
The dicated cuisine was Li Han’s idea, so Chen Yang didn’t have a clear idea of how much money it could make.
But for now, he could only place his hopes on the dicated cuisine.
Otherwise, he had no other sources of inco.
“If there’s nothing else, I still need to talk to Li Han about the dicated cuisine, otherwise I’ll have no confidence,” he said to himself.
Chen Yang mumbled to himself and then walked out of the greenhouse and returned ho.
After washing up and eating breakfast at ho, Chen Yang began frantically concocting dicines.
Chen Yang planned to swiftly process all the dicinal herbs that Wang De and his friends had brought yesterday and then deliver them to Li Han, taking the opportunity to discuss how much money he could earn in a month from this dicated cuisine initiative.
If he couldn’t earn the full million, it was better to think of other strategies as soon as possible.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, Chen Yang was either concocting dicine at ho or roaming around the new greenhouse, studying why the wild mountain mushrooms there were growing unusually fast.
After two days of research, Chen Yang figured it out.
The new greenhouse was growing mushrooms faster because beneath the nutrient layer, there was an added layer of straw.
The straw interacted with the nutrient layer, resulting in the greenhouse having more nutrients, hence the faster growth.
“If I ever expand the greenhouse again, it looks like I’ll need to add an extra layer of straw!” Chen Yang said excitedly.
After finishing his research on the nutrient layer, Chen Yang’s dicine concoction was almost done.
He planned to deliver it to Li Han after eating lunch.
Just as Chen Yang had lunch and was loading all the dicinal materials into the car to deliver them to Li Han, Li Han suddenly called.
“What a coincidence, just as I was about to deliver, she calls to rush ?”
Chen Yang assud Li Han was urging him for the dicinal materials, but after picking up the phone, he realized that wasn’t the case.
“Chen Yang, could you co over?
There’s an old gentleman at the hotel who wants to et you,” Li Han said.
“et ?
Who is he?” Chen Yang asked in surprise.
“I don’t know the old gentleman either,” Li Han explained calmly, “He ca for lunch today, tried your dicated cuisine, and insisted on eting you afterwards, refusing to leave otherwise.”
After hearing Li Han’s explanation, Chen Yang was entirely puzzled.
What was this situation?
Eat dicated cuisine and then ask to see ?
Could it be that the dicinal cuisine reminded him of the taste of his mother’s cooking?
Chen Yang joked to himself and then agreed.
“Alright then, wait for , I’ll co over right away.
I’ll also bring all the recently concocted dicinal materials to you,” he said.
After that, Chen Yang hung up the phone and drove to the county town.
