The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 42 Learn Technology
Having witnessed the miracle with her own eyes, Li Shiyun was still somewhat excited, so she thought for a moment 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 immediately flipped open the book, starting to read it seriously from the beginning.
The current growth method 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 some 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 somewhat helpless: "You, always with such a good appetite, huh? Where did these rabbits come 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 time roasting meat for you every day. How about this, we buy some 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 came 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 perimeter 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 payment 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 payment was always a strain.
"No rush!" Ling Feng said casually.
The contractor’s heart sank immediately, thinking it was as he feared!
However, contrary to what the contractor thought was a delay in payment, 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 me a greenhouse with constant temperature, just like the size of the playground. One or two greenhouses with a three-meter-wide passage in between will do," Ling Feng instructed.
The contractor listened, somewhat confused, and even Li Shiyun was taken aback, immediately asking, "A constant temperature greenhouse? What for?"
"Of course, I’m going to grow mushrooms, what else?" Ling Feng said with a smile. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"No way!" Li Shiyun immediately 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, come back with me 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 meter, 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 meters. Now, hearing this quote, he immediately felt overwhelmed!
A hundred square meters 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 home, 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 home 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 somewhat surprised when he heard this, he looked up at her incredulously, "You help me?"
"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 me think about it, there’s no rush," Ling Feng replied noncommittally.
Li Shiyun was surprised at his response, and after a moment, she nodded, "Alright, you can find me anytime if you need help. I’ll head back now."
Ling Feng hummed in response, watching her leave the house and then fell into deep thought.
Now he seemed to understand that the starting point of his design was somewhat too high; starting with a constant temperature room. He knew that many farmers 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 came to a realization and slapped his forehead!
A brand new production plan had already formed in his mind, and there was enough time 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.
