Chapter 62: Mushroom Picking
The lively meat lingzhi incident soon died down, because everyone found that the chickens that Wu Xiaoyu fed in the mountains grew very fast.
It's only been raised for more than 20 days, and it looks like it's more than two pounds, so it stands to reason that this free-range chicken should grow relatively slowly, right?
The villagers then remembered that a few days ago, when they said that they wanted to raise chickens in the mountains, they laughed at the stupidity of others, but now it seems that they are stupid!
Wu Xiaoyu found that ginseng can be said to be based on luck alone, but if he can run such a chicken farm well, he really has the ability!
When the village chief learned the news from others, he also regretted it, why did he agree to contract the mountains and forests to him?
Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu was about to rely on this chicken farm to develop thoroughly, what else could he do but be jealous?
His stupid son led someone to sabotage, and he was caught, and if he made some small moves, no one in the whole village would have thought that he had done it himself.
Could it be that this chicken will grow faster when it is raised? The village chief couldn't help but make a calculation in his heart, whether he would harvest the crops and raise some chickens in the field himself?
Free-range chickens have a lot of activity, they must not grow fast, Wu Xiaoyu's chickens grow so fast, naturally because they drink Lingquan water.
Wu Xiaoyu's original plan was to feed these chickens spiritual spring water when they were slaughtered, so as to improve the meat quality and increase their weight.
But after feeding the chickens for a few days, he suddenly realized that if they became much larger overnight, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he changed his plan.
After repeated experiments, it was concluded that each chicken can gain 30 grams of weight by drinking 10 milliliters of Lingquan water, and then a certain amount of Lingquan water is added to the chicken's drinking water every day, so that the chickens are fattening day by day.
After figuring out the plan to raise chickens, Wu Xiaoyu not only practiced the Yin and Yang Immortal Formula every day, but also wandered around this bear mountain, trying to tame more beasts.
But after a few days, he only tamed a few small pythons, because other large animals, after seeing him, all fled, which made him very depressed.
On this day, after Wu Xiaoyu finished cultivating the Yin and Yang Longevity Formula, he carried a bottle of spiritual spring water and wandered around the mountains and forests.
After the meat lingzhi incident, the villagers did not go up the mountain to dig ginseng much, and the mountains and forests also returned to their former harmony, Wu Xiaoyu walked to a large shrub tree to rest, and covered his face with a big leaf.
Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard a movement around him, could it be some kind of blind beast that wanted to attack him?
Wu Xiaoyu still closed his eyes, lying there motionless, waiting for the beast to attack him, and then make a beautiful counterattack!
There was a slight sound on the rotting leaves, and the sound was getting closer and closer to him, and he could even hear her wheezing, Wu Xiaoyu was waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly, 'quack...... The quack...... cries rang out from the bushes above him, and Made, Raven, what a curse, he had just cursed in his heart before the voice came to his feet.
Wu Xiaoyu got up suddenly, tossed over, and pressed the 'beast' under him, but when he fixed his eyes to look, he was stupid! He pressed Li Yujia under him, and his hands were still pressed on her chest.
Li Yujia originally wanted to sneak over and joke with him, but she never thought that such a thing would happen.
Surprised for a moment, his eyes stared at his eyeballs dryly, and he held his breath, as if as long as he inhaled, the two would kiss together.
Wu Xiaoyu's Adam's apple moved meaninglessly, then quickly got up, wiped his face in a little panic, and said, "You...... Why are you here?"
"Uh, what?" Li Yujia still had some wandering things, and after a long time, she got up, cleaned up the fallen leaves on her body, and looked at Wu Xiaoyu a little at a loss.
"I mean, what are you doing in the mountains, didn't you meet a wolf last time, why don't you have a long memory? Besides, people don't come to dig ginseng, why are you still so dead-eyed?" Wu Xiaoyu reprimanded unintentionally.
Li Yujia was choked by him and couldn't speak, and it took a long time to point to the basket not far away and explain: "I'm not here to dig ginseng, you see it's the mushrooms I picked!
Wu Xiaoyu walked over and brought her basket over, only to find that she had actually picked all kinds of mushrooms in the basket, and asked with some curiosity: "What are you picking all these mushrooms for?"
"Take it and sell it!"
There are a lot of mushrooms in this basket, but there are all kinds of mushrooms, and people buy mushrooms in different categories, who would collect such a bunch of mushrooms?
Li Yujia continued: "I picked these mushrooms at home, then dried them separately and took them to the restaurants in the town to sell!"
It's just that although there are many kinds of mushrooms in this mountain, they all grow sporadically, and there are very few mushrooms, so how long does it take to pick them before they can be sold?
Thinking that this girl had no father early, she supported the family's livelihood with her mother, and Sister Gong went to school, how much responsibility she had to be able to do.
"I'll help you pick it up together!" Wu Xiaoyu couldn't help but speak, and then took the water bottle in his hand and went into the bushes, Li Yujia didn't have time to refuse.
Mushrooms are most commonly found in bushes because they grow on the ground with fallen leaves or on decaying wood.
Wu Xiaoyu and the others are now in this small bush, there are many kinds of mushrooms.
However, although there are many varieties, the quantity is a little scarce, and after a while, the two of them have already picked up.
A man and a woman, drilled in the mountains and forests, it is inevitable that people will be disgusted, Li Yujia packed up these mushrooms, thanked Wu Xiaoyu, and carefully carried them on his back, and went down the mountain with a basket full of mushrooms.
Wu Xiaoyu looked at her departing back, she couldn't help but feel a little sad and wanted to help her, but with her strong temperament, how could she accept the pity of others?
The best thing to do is to help her find a job to do, but what errands in this village do you need help with?
In the restaurant of Zhou Dong's family, waiters are needed, but Li Yujia's mother is not in good health, and she is afraid that she will not be able to go to the county seat.
It would be nice if there were a large mushroom forest in this mountain, and she could make a lot of money by picking mushrooms and selling them, but the temperature or humidity in this mountain forest did not seem to be suitable for mushroom growth.
Wu Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, then picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water, then leaned back against the bushes, immersed in the warm sunlight.
