Seeing these fallen leaves, everyone's faces showed a hint of helplessness.
"Tch, I knew Aunt Chen's words were unreliable, and sure enough, look, there's nothing there."
"Oh, Aunt Chen, we got up so early to come to work, and now we're going to work for free for another hour."
"Forget it, it's probably not going to happen today. Next time, everyone should be careful when listening to these rumors."
Hearing the mockery from the crowd, Aunt Chen's face immediately showed a hint of frustration.
"That's not right, they were doing this here yesterday, how come..."
Before Aunt Chen could finish speaking, she felt that the plot of land in front of her seemed much softer than the plots she was standing on.
A look of confusion immediately appeared on her face.
Then he immediately squatted down and cleared away the fallen leaves on the ground.
Beneath the fallen leaves lay a thin, carpet-like layer of mushroom caps.
Looking at these umbrellas that resembled Xiaoshan, Aunt Chen's face suddenly changed from disappointment to surprise.
"You bunch of little bastards, who said I lied to you? Come and see what this is!"
Aunt Chen's voice suddenly rose a few notches, but she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking and quickly covered her mouth.
Fortunately, there were only a few of them nearby. People further away were too far away to pay attention even if they heard it.
Hearing Aunt Chen's words, the people who were originally planning to leave suddenly froze.
They exchanged glances, assuming it was just another little trick played by Aunt Chen.
"No way, Aunt Chen, you're still not giving up? You're still planning to lie to us?"
"Exactly, what's the point of lying to us like this? Go find a companion, stop wasting your time on us."
"Haha, Aunt Chen, your little tricks won't fool us. You've fooled us too many times! We've heard the story of the boy who cried wolf too!"
Aunt Chen stomped her foot angrily on the ground, then reached out and pulled up a mushroom.
Along with this mushroom came more than a dozen small caps of various sizes, making it look so delicious and tempting.
She swallowed hard, then quickly stepped forward to stop the last person.
Then show the mushroom to the other person.
"Look closely, see if I've lied to you or not?"
When Aunt Chen took the mushrooms out of her hand, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
When they saw the mushrooms, they all did the same thing.
Swallowing saliva.
After exchanging glances, they immediately ran off.
All the leaves on that open space had been lifted up.
The area, roughly 100 square meters in total, was completely covered with mushrooms.
These mushrooms come in a wide variety of types, almost all of which are common mushrooms that people can see and eat in their daily lives.
There are also some uncommon mushrooms that seem to be used in medicine; those things seem to be similar to Ganoderma lucidum.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked surprised, wondering why Lu Yuan would put such an important thing here.
Just then, a shout came from afar.
Everyone panicked and tried to cover the mushrooms back up, but it was too late.
Then, Kong Hanting walked over with a look of anxiety on her face.
"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to dig up this stuff?"
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of trouble.
With her head down and not daring to utter a sound, Aunt Chen shrank back, seemingly unwilling to take on this responsibility.
If she were to gossip behind Lu Yuan's back and ruin something he had worked so hard to create, she really couldn't bear the responsibility.
When Kong Hanting arrived, she saw that the leaves on the ground had already been turned over.
A serious expression immediately appeared on her face, and then she turned to look at the group of people.
"Besides you, who else knows about this?"
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
"That's all, that's all. Only a few of us know about it, we didn't tell anyone else!"
"Yes, yes, there are only a few of us. We didn't believe it at first, but we didn't expect there really are people here!"
"This has nothing to do with us. We just happened to be passing by and saw it by accident. We promise we won't tell anyone!"
Seeing everyone's panicked expressions, Kong Hanting knew they were afraid that if this matter were exposed, it would affect their lives here.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Mr. Lu originally planned to tell you about this later, but since it's already happened, just pretend it never happened!"
Everyone nodded immediately, but each of them still harbored a hint of anticipation in their hearts.
They wanted to find some mushrooms to eat, but they were so excited that they were busy removing the leaves from the trees that they didn't dare touch a single mushroom.
Looking back now, I really regret it. I didn't get to eat the mushrooms, and I ended up with such a big jar of trouble.
Thinking of this, everyone immediately turned their gaze to Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen is still keeping her head down, not daring to utter a sound. He can guess the seriousness of this matter.
Kong Hanting glanced at the land for a moment, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no signs of human damage.
"This matter cannot be told to anyone else. Moreover, Mr. Lu intends to turn this land into an experimental field and gradually distribute the resources here to you. If you expose all of this now, how can everyone possibly eat so many mushrooms!"
After hearing this, Aunt Chen and the others suddenly realized why Lu Yuan hadn't made a fuss; it turned out that he hadn't dared to publicize the matter because he was setting up an experimental field.
After all, there are 30,000 mouths in the camp. If this secret is leaked, there won't be enough mushrooms in the laboratory, let alone one for each person. Even if ten people share one mushroom, it won't be enough.
They immediately understood Lu Yuan's thoughts. Lu Yuan was still on their side, considering their future. Everyone's eyes were filled with gratitude when they thought about all the things Lu Yuan had done for them.
"You've all seen it. It wouldn't be right for you to go back empty-handed! Here's the arrangement: each of you take ten pounds of mushrooms from this field back with you. Remember, don't take too much time. As for what you do with them, whether you sell them or not, I don't care!"
After listening, everyone nodded and happily expressed their gratitude to Kong Hanting. Then they rushed into the mushroom field, took out their clothes or bags, and filled them with mushrooms. Each person weighed ten jin (5 kg), not daring to add a single one, but not a single one was missing.
