Chapter 37. Confusing Cause and Effect
Luo Yihang was shocked when he heard this, and looked around carefully. Wow, the trees and grass in the area covered by the spirit gathering array looked exceptionally beautiful, but once he left this range, they became ordinary, no different from other trees on the mountain.

As a result, this place seems even more special.

...How do you explain this?
Luo Yihang had no choice but to shake his head in confusion.

He even went on to say, "We planted the Polyporus umbellatus here because we thought this place was good. We don't know why. What do you think?"

"Strange." Old Master Yan couldn't figure it out. He walked around in the woods for a few times, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, muttering in a vague tone, "Maybe there is a hidden spring underneath..."

After hearing this, Luo Yihang's eyes lit up. Great explanation, it's mine.

If someone asks about it next time, just say that Master Yan from the medicinal materials factory came to see it and said there is a hidden spring underneath, so the plant grows so well.

Mr. Yan just mentioned it briefly and didn't pursue it further.

There is some metaphysics involved in the farming business after all. Who can really tell what is happening in nature?

Then he dug up a nest of Poria cocos and took a look at it. He reached out his hand to measure the depth and expressed his satisfaction.

"The planting is good. The depth is about 40 centimeters. This nest is an old strain. It looks like it is three or four years old."

Luo Yihang leaned over to take a look, gave a thumbs up, and flattered, "You are right. This nest was planted by my father three years ago. At that time, he planted more than 200 nests. When we harvested the Polyporus yesterday, we divided some more."

"Very good, very good." Old Master Yan nodded repeatedly. "To be able to grow up like this in three years, you must have put in a lot of effort in the past few years. You have earned all the money through hard work. But you get what you pay for."

Luo Yihang rubbed his nose and said nothing, feeling embarrassed.

Old Master Yan didn't care. He was so fascinated that he chose a place to dig up two nests of Poria cocos and squatted down to examine them carefully.

He clapped his hands and stood up, very satisfied.

"Very good. Even if the Polyporus umbellatus grows after three years, it will grow again and again. The harvest period is from October to April of the following year. I will come back to see it when it grows out."

It just so happened that Luo Yihang took the opportunity to ask about the key points of the harvest and also made a little joke.

After their relationship became closer, the old man's desire to teach was aroused again. In the wild woods, he looked at Zhu Ling while talking to Luo Yihang.

The growth temperature should be between 5 and 25 degrees, the soil moisture content needs to be 30% to 50%, the pH value cannot be lower than 5 and cannot be higher than 7, the altitude should be above 1000 meters and below 2000 meters, preferably not more than 1600, there must be a slope, but not a steep slope, and a slope of 20 degrees is best.

Also, if you see the Poria cocos starting to split, it means it is malnourished. If it turns dark black and has holes, it is doomed and you should remove it immediately.

This opened Luo Yihang's eyes and he also understood why there are so few top-grade products.

Because the environment, science, and experience are all indispensable, and there are many things to pay attention to. What is even more terrifying is time. The growth cycle of medicinal materials is very long. For example, Poria cocos takes three years to grow. And during these three years, no accidents can happen, such as too much or too little water, insects or diseases, or sudden temperature changes. If any of these happens, the plant will be doomed and the quality will be absolutely affected.

Even if everything goes smoothly for these three years without any disaster or disease, it is only possible for the fruit to grow into special grade.

I don’t know exactly where the difference lies, I can only attribute it to the magic of nature.

For example, the environment in this area is very suitable, and the temperature, moisture and nutrients are also suitable. When Luo Cheng was planting, he specially found someone to learn the appropriate planting method.

But Luo Yihang has always felt a little puzzled. Is spiritual energy so powerful?

My father has been growing Poria cocos for three years, and the quality of it can only be rated as grade three or four, and it sells for 20 yuan per pound.

It took only half a month after this spirit gathering formation was set up for it to become a special grade one.

The effect is too fast. If I wait for three years, there won’t be any goblins…

……

After strolling for about an hour, Luo Yihang drove Mr. Yan down the mountain.

When I got back to the door, I saw two more cars.

One of them was Qiangwa’s dirty, broken van.

The other one is a brand new, shiny white Haval. This is Sui Wa’s family’s car, which was bought after Su Jing became pregnant.

It seems that the guests have arrived.

Entered the yard and parked the car.

When I looked up, I saw Sui Wa and Luo Cheng, each sitting on a recliner, having an awkward conversation.

"How are mom and dad? Are they doing well?"

"Everything is fine. My dad is in the south, working in a machinery factory. My mom has a small restaurant at home and helps take care of the kids." "Oh, OK, OK."

Luo Yihang knew that his parents knew Sui Wa's parents, but they were not familiar with each other. They had only met at parent-teacher conferences when they were in school.

Both the old and the young are a bit dull. Who is smart enough to put them together?

The embarrassment was beyond measure.

What about the rest?

Luo Yihang turned his head to look at the other side and was amused. Qiang Wa was sitting alone on a small stool in front of a small low table, busy peeling boiled peanuts.

"They are all here. Qiangwa is hungry. I'll prepare food for him soon." With just one sentence, everyone was greeted.

Sui Wa and Luo Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Luo Yihang coming back.

"I'm back. Have you seen it?"

"All the female comrades have gone to the vegetable fields."

"I've picked up Mr. Zhang and his wife, so there's no need to rush for dinner."

Luo Cheng, Sui Wa and Qiang Wa each spoke a few words and told the whole story.

At this time, Liu Yang and the young purchasing agent who were resting in the house heard the noise and came out to greet Mr. Yan, "Master Yan, the things have been weighed and packed again, and the contract has been written. We are just waiting for you. Boss, come and go through the formalities."

The latter sentence was said to Luo Yihang.

Let’s do the business first. Luo Yihang said hello to Sui Wa and Qiang Wa and said, “Wait for me when I’m done.” Then he followed him into the house.

There were two contracts on the coffee table, one for Luo Yihang and one for Old Man Yan.

Luo Yihang picked it up and took a look. It was a standard purchase contract with the official seal of the medicinal materials factory. It listed Party A and Party B, the rights and responsibilities, the bank account for payment, the time of opening the bank account, etc.

The reserved space has been filled with the words and capital numbers: Poria cocos, 380 kilograms, unit price 22.8 yuan, totaling yuan.

The information left for Luo Yihang to fill in was his name, account number and bank account.

Mr. Yan’s position is listed as a celebrity.

After a careful look, there is no problem.

Luo Yihang signed the contract and put his fingerprints on it.

Each party keeps a copy.

Finally, the payment time was discussed.

They said that when we go back to work on Monday, the factory will go through the approval process and the finance department will transfer the money into the account.

It will take three or two days at most.

The medicinal materials factory was trustworthy, so Luo Yihang did not make any requests.

The two sides shook hands and said goodbye.

I walked him all the way to the outside of the hospital and helped Mr. Yan into the car.

Liu Yang strolled back with Luo Yihang.

"Come back and do it, kid." Liu Yang was blocked by Sui Wa and teased as soon as he entered the door.

Liu Yang pointed at Luo Yihang and said with a smile, "I want to get in touch with Boss Luo."

"Get lost, you quality inspector, you are just trying to show off your feelings."

Liu Yang raised his head, and without any shame, he shouted, "Can I have a free meal? What can you do to me?"

Sui Wa hunched his neck and hunched his waist, pretending to be a bullied person and admitting his weakness, "Okay, okay, just talk about it, what are you angry about?"

The two of them acted like they were performing a skit, which made everyone laugh.
