Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Learn Technology
Having witnessed the miracle with her own eyes, Li Shiyun was still sowhat excited, so she thought for a mont and said, "Here’s the deal, you take a good look at that book today and study how to grow mushrooms on a larger scale. I’ll continue to watch over the breeding farm for you!"
"Yo, I can’t thank you enough!" Ling Feng said, quickly expressing his gratitude.
"No need to be polite, just help out the folks in Shiliu Village when your business gets bigger." Li Shiyun said with a slight smile and turned to leave.
After she left, Ling Feng didn’t dare to delay, and imdiately flipped open the book, starting to read it seriously from the beginning.
The current growth thod for these mushrooms obviously wasn’t working, lacking in nutrition, and surely wouldn’t allow them to grow as big as a fist.
So Ling Feng understood that he still needed to learn so necessary professional knowledge.
An entire morning passed quickly, and Ling Feng, absorbed in his studies, didn’t even notice it was already past midday!
If it weren’t for the scratching noise coming from outside the door, he would have continued reading.
Opening the door, he saw Wang Cai squatting at the doorstep with two wild rabbits on the ground, clearly prompting him to make lunch.
Ling Feng was sowhat helpless: "You, always with such a good appetite, huh? Where did these rabbits co from?"
Wang Cai turned his head to look at the mountain, indicating he had caught them there.
"Alright, I am kind of hungry now, so let’s have lunch first!"
Ling Feng nodded, picked up the wild rabbits, and went back inside to clean them up.
Wang Cai followed him into the house, sitting down beside him with drooping eyes, staring intently at the wild rabbits with drool dripping nonstop.
"Buddy, this won’t do, you know. I can’t be spending all my ti roasting at for you every day. How about this, we buy so large chunks of pork, cook it and store it, and you can eat it yourself when you’re hungry, alright?" Ling Feng asked while cleaning up.
Wang Cai let out a couple of wails, seeming to agree with the plan.
After eating the roasted wild rabbits, Ling Feng was planning to continue reading, but just then, Li Shiyun ca over to call him, saying that the work at the breeding farm was done!
Ling Feng was surprised; he hadn’t expected things to progress so fast and hurried over to take a look.
He hadn’t paid much attention when he returned yesterday, but today he noticed that the yard of the abandoned school had completely changed; the ground was all hardened, the houses fortified, and a long row of chicken coops had been built.
The contractor had to follow the boss for inspection and began introducing, "Boss Ling, this is where we’ll raise the mountain chickens, and this is for the rabbits. Also, the periter walls have all been rebuilt. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, your progress is good, faster than I expected!" Ling Feng nodded.
"As long as you’re happy. So about the paynt for this project, what do you say?" the contractor asked with a flattering smile.
The contractor had many years of experience and knew that getting the job done was easy, but collecting paynt was always a strain.
"No rush!" Ling Feng said casually.
The contractor’s heart sank imdiately, thinking it was as he feared!
However, contrary to what the contractor thought was a delay in paynt, Ling Feng laughed and said, "Don’t be nervous, now that the previous work is done, I’ve got a new job for you!"
"Oh? What else do you want to do?" the contractor asked.
"In this yard, build
a greenhouse with constant temperature, just like the size of the playground. One or two greenhouses with a three-ter-wide passage in between will do," Ling Feng instructed.
The contractor listened, sowhat confused, and even Li Shiyun was taken aback, imdiately asking, "A constant temperature greenhouse? What for?"
"Of course, I’m going to grow mushrooms, what else?" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"No way!" Li Shiyun imdiately rejected it!
This reaction took Ling Feng aback, "Why?"
"This place raises pheasants and hares, there will be a lot of bacteria, and cross-contamination is very easy, haven’t you read the book properly?" Li Shiyun said.
When Ling Feng was reading, he had noticed this but thought that with his abilities, it wouldn’t affect him, so he hadn’t taken it seriously. But seeing Li Shiyun so serious, he then asked, "What should we do?"
"Find another location for the constant temperature room. It definitely won’t work here. Even if you can grow mushrooms, the quality won’t be good!" Li Shiyun said.
"Alright, then I’ll find another place," Ling Feng nodded and looked towards the contractor, "How much are the total costs for this?"
"Seventy-six thousand, the labor and materials are all included," the contractor quickly replied.
"Alright, co back with
to get the money," Ling Feng nodded.
As the two walked to the front courtyard, the contractor couldn’t help but remind, "Mr. Ling, we can also build the constant temperature room, but this thing is quite expensive, you’d better think it through."
"Oh? How much does it cost?" Ling Feng asked.
"About two thousand per square ter, that’s just the construction cost. The later operational labor and electricity costs have to be calculated separately!" the contractor explained.
After hearing this, Ling Feng’s pace halted. He had been planning to build a few hundred square ters. Now, hearing this quote, he imdiately felt overwheld!
A hundred square ters would cost around two hundred thousand. He didn’t have enough money!
After a pause, he nodded without showing his concern, "I got it, I’ll contact you once I find a place."
When they got back ho, he took out the money and settled the expenses of the past few days on the spot. The contractor left cheerfully with the money, taking his workers to pack up and return to the county town.
But Li Shiyun didn’t leave; she stayed at Ling Feng’s ho and asked, "Are you facing difficulty, not enough funds?"
"You’re right, I didn’t realize the constant temperature room would be so expensive," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Li Shiyun nodded, "The construction cost is indeed a bit high, but if you need money, I might be able to think of a way to help."
Ling Feng was sowhat surprised when he heard this, he looked up at her incredulously, "You help ?"
"Don’t overthink it, I just believe what you’re doing has a lot of prospects. After all, I’m the Village Chief here, and it’s my duty to help the villagers develop their businesses," Li Shiyun hastened to explain.
"Let
think about it, there’s no rush," Ling Feng replied noncommittally.
Li Shiyun was surprised at his response, and after a mont, she nodded, "Alright, you can find
anyti if you need help. I’ll head back now."
Ling Feng humd in response, watching her leave the house and then fell into deep thought.
Now he seed to understand that the starting point of his design was sowhat too high; starting with a constant temperature room. He knew that many farrs cultivating common edible mushrooms did so under very basic conditions!
"Really burning money when I have a little. Why do I insist on a constant temperature room? There are at least two months before winter, the normal temperature is also suitable for growing button mushrooms!"
After much thought, Ling Feng suddenly ca to a realization and slapped his forehead!
A brand new production plan had already ford in his mind, and there was enough ti before the season change to grow a lot of mushrooms!
Just as Ling Feng was about to get paper and pen to perfect this plan, his phone suddenly rang.
