Chapter 119 118. Mushrooms are coming out

After his state of mind loosened, Luo Yihang had a happy life and was happy for several days.

Until today, it wasn't very pleasant.

Because a new batch of malt has grown.

Alas, it’s so hard to tear the malt, it’s so hard to make juice, it’s so hard to steam the glutinous rice.

It’s so hard to make syrup.

By the way, who said before that we would never make candy again?

While they were busy, Zhang Guiqin came and called, "Hang, come and see if the mushroom has grown."

"where?"

Luo Yihang decisively threw away the spoon used to stir the syrup, turned off the fire and ran to the mushroom house.

Counting the time, the mushroom bag has been there for nine days, and it is time for some sporadic mushrooms to grow out.

In the mushroom house, mushroom bags are neatly laid out on two rows of three-dimensional racks. The long, rectangular bags have openings on both sides, revealing the base material inside.

Yesterday, there were only a bunch of black "cotton swabs" that would make people with trypophobia feel numb all over, but now quite a few of them have unfolded their umbrella caps.

Perhaps due to the particularly suitable temperature or humidity, some of the packages were noticeably larger than the others, and their size was almost the same as the oyster mushrooms sold in the vegetable market.

Luo Yihang took a closer look, and flicked it with his fingers. It felt quite good and elastic.

"This should be fine, right?" Luo Yihang wasn't too sure, after all, he had never planted it before.

So, let’s look for external help.

He took out his cell phone, took a photo, and sent it to Ma Zhitao.

Soon, Ma Zhitao's video call came back.

"Luo Yihang, um, could you please move your phone closer, uh, to the root, so I can take a look." Ma Zhitao paused on the other end of the phone. 】

Alas, this child’s social phobia has not been cured yet.

I don't know how much inner drama he was thinking while he was saying this.

Luo Yihang pushed the phone closer as requested.

First look at the roots, then look at the back of the mushroom, then look inside the mushroom bag, and then look at those that have not grown.

Ma Zhitao's expression changed from normal, to cautious, to surprised, and then to self-doubt.

"This...this...this mushroom..." After reading it all, Ma Zhitao grunted for a long time without saying anything.

It can drive people crazy.

"Expert Ma, what's wrong? Do you have any problem?" Luo Yihang asked directly.

"The question is..." Ma Zhitao paused again, and then asked, "Is there a color difference on your phone?"

Luo Yihang was speechless. Just as he was about to say something, Ma Zhitao denied it himself, "Even if the color is wrong, the properties are also problematic."

Luo Yihang was a little nervous when he heard this: "Is it bad? Sick? Infested with germs? Infested with bugs?"

Zhang Guiqin was not happy at first. "I didn't see any insect bites. I disinfected and killed insects every day as you said. There must be no problem."

"No, no, it's not bad, it's just that it's been raised too well, it doesn't feel real." Ma Zhitao heard Zhang Guiqin's voice and explained repeatedly on the other end of the phone.

Luo Yihang felt relieved now. Wasn't it natural that the animal was well taken care of? The spirit gathering array and spiritual energy were just so unreasonable.

But he couldn't say it directly, so Luo Yihang acted surprised and said, "It's a good thing that the horse is well raised. The horse expert, you have given good guidance. Now everyone strictly follows the operating specifications one by one. It's normal to raise the horse well."

"No, that's not right." Ma Zhitao shook his head. "I'd better go and take a look. It's too weird."

"But it's not dinner time now."

"Then I'll go at dinner time?"

Just kidding, Ma Zhitao came before dinner time and went straight into the mushroom house.

It can be seen that he really knows a lot about mushrooms, and the horse expert was not wrong.

So, he was really shocked about the perfect growth state of the mushrooms here at Luo Yihang, because this was almost impossible.

The more I understand, the more I feel that my three views have been lost. I feel that the years I spent in the mushroom room during school were taken away by dogs. They were all wasted and in vain. Getting up early and going to bed late during those years was like a joke.

These are his own exact words.

When Ma Zhitao left, he was in a state of daze, mumbling to himself, "Mycelium grows in the pickle jar, cabbage grows in the pickle water, this business is just metaphysics, it's not scientific at all..."

He also took away a bag of mushrooms and said he wanted to test it.
-
Alas, such a good young man has been ruined.

He is the first, and probably not the last.

Ma Zhitao left.

Luo Yihang picked a mushroom and went into the kitchen to make some simple roasted mushrooms.

The taste.

Anyway, just get started.

The action of "Save Liu Piaoliang and give him half of the store, he will thank us" has officially begun!
Call Qiangwa first.

"Hey, Qiangwa, how's Liu Piaoliang doing? She doesn't plan to close the store or move to another place, right?" The contract expires in July, and there's still more than a month left, so she probably won't move.

Sure enough, Qiangwa said, "He's still holding on. He probably has no plans to move. Last time I asked him, he said he found two singers and wanted to give it another try."

"Okay, let's go over there now. I have a way to keep his shop open."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yihang broke off a few large oyster mushrooms and put them in a bag, probably weighing about three or four kilograms.

I left the mushroom house and called out to Zhang Guiqin, "Mom, I'm going to go out for a while. Please help me make some sugar."

After shouting, he went back to his home first, chanted a spell to clean himself up, mainly to get rid of the greasy sweet smell from boiling sugar.

It’s really convenient to be able to use Taoist methods.

Change clothes and get on the motorcycle.

While waiting, he just happened to see his father Luo Cheng patting his trouser legs as he came out of the field and entered his grandfather's yard.

Oh, that's right, this is the normal food chain. No one wants to make sugar.
-
Liu Piaoliang has been having a hard time these days.

He deeply felt what it meant that "misfortunes never come alone."

The landlord has been asking us to renew the lease and vacate the place immediately if we don't want to.

Of the two singers that were found, one sang for two days, then said that singing in a barbecue restaurant was not the life he wanted, so he left; the other almost got into a fight with a customer, so Liu Piaoliang fired him.

The chef in charge of stir-fried cold dishes in the kitchen asked for a salary increase two days ago, saying that someone else had found him and the salary was 1,500 yuan higher than here. If the salary here could also be increased by 1,000 yuan, he would not leave.

He lost his temper and kicked a telephone pole, spraining his foot.

Anyway, everything goes wrong.

In the middle of the night when no one was around, he pointed to the sky and shouted, "I'm not going to take this humiliation anymore!"

The next day, I continued to talk nicely to the landlord and asked him to raise the rent less.

It's all the sadness of adults.

Unexpectedly, this is just the beginning.

That afternoon, before the store opened, Master Lu, who was in charge of the barbecue, quietly called Liu Piaoliang aside and told her something.

"Boss, Fatty Qian came to me last night and said that I couldn't continue working here. If I still want to work here, I can stay. He will give me a 500 yuan increase in salary. He also asked me to ask Hong and Hui that if they also want to stay, they can each get a yuan increase."

"You've been nice to me, and I've been thinking about it all night, so I feel like I have to tell you."

"You're not really going to do it anymore?"

After hearing this, Liu Piaoliang was stunned, and then laughed angrily, "Fatty Qian, I came to find you, and I came to find Hong and Hui. Did he come to find Master Qi?"

Master Lu looked around and nodded, "He must have found it. Fatty Qian scolded Lao Qi yesterday, saying that he was out of his mind to ask for an extra fifteen hundred. He also said that anyone can do the job of mixing cold dishes, and Fatty Qian plans to let his brother-in-law take Lao Qi's job."

After saying this, Master Lu saw that Liu Piaoliang's face was red and white, and her expression was not right, so he comforted her awkwardly: "Boss, don't worry, things will work out when the time comes. I'll go to work first."

Master Lu is gone.

Liu Piaoliang could no longer control himself and angrily kicked the flower bed next to him, causing him to grit his teeth in pain from his old injury.

He squatted on the ground, hugging his legs, lowered his head, took out a cigarette and lit it, tears welling up in his eyes.

NND Fatty Qian, you found the barbecue chef, the cold dish chef, and the waiter, but you didn’t find me, right?

You are also planning to do barbecue, so just tell me, I don’t disagree with the partnership.

Hey!
You just think that it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not, and you want to take it all for yourself, right?
Liu Piaoliang already understood everything. Fatty Qian was the landlord of his store.

The rent increase was fake, but the real purpose was to force him out by raising the rent.

Fatty Qian saw that the barbecue plaza of the instrument factory was popular, and he thought that anyone could make money. If he was not happy, he could just collect some rent. He wanted to start his own business.

So, just think about it and you will know.

Even if Liu Piaoliang gritted her teeth and agreed to pay an extra 20,000 yuan in rent every month, Fatty Qian would still ask her to pay one year's rent at a time, and use tactics like delaying the payment by one year to force him away.

By then I can tell the neighbors that Liu Piaoliang doesn't want to do the job anymore and hasn't renewed the lease. I can't find anyone to replace him temporarily, and the place can't be left empty. I'll just do it myself first, and no one can pick on me.

Then he had his own house, so the cost was much lower, and he could just organize a few activities to attract all the guests, and he could even take over all the guests even if the surrounding areas were squeezed out.

Or make some quick money in the summer and rent it out in the fall.

NND, you do disgusting things and still want to build a good reputation!

But what’s the use of figuring it out?

It's completely over now.

After working hard for several years, I went from losing money every day to finally breaking even and then making a little money.

I watched the night market gradually become more and more popular.

Finally the harvest season has arrived.

Someone wants to pick peaches...

Liu Piaoliang felt depressed and insulted, so she really looked down on his ability to manage the store, right?

He had hatred, resentment, anger and sadness in his heart.

There are all kinds of feelings, and there is no solution.

All that was left were cigarette butts.

Then at this time, Liu Piaoliang received a call...

After so many days of bad luck, I finally got good news and hope through a phone call.

His eldest brother, Luo Zhiqiang, who was known as the Fat Song Jiang, a man of great righteousness and willingness to help others, said that he had a way to save him and would be here soon.

Liu Piaoliang was so anxious that she looked at her watch six times in one minute. She had never felt time passing so slowly.

Time passed even slower than when he and his first love were hiding behind a tree downstairs in her house and waiting for them on their first date.

Liu Piaoliang waited and waited, wandering around his shop for so many times that she didn't even know how many times she had walked around.

Finally, I saw Brother Qiang’s car parked at the door.

It’s sunny now!

Liu Piaoliang hurried out, opened the car door herself, and helped Brother Qiang get out of the car.

Hey, Brother Luo is here too.

Liu Piaoliang was so happy that she quickly let the two of them into the private room and started busying herself making tea and pouring water.

After finally calming down, he saw the thing that could save him as mentioned on the phone.

Then he saw it, an ordinary plastic bag filled with ordinary mushrooms.

Liu Piaoliang collapsed at that moment.

"Ah...this..."
