Shen Xiaoyan spoke loudly, immediately drawing everyone's attention to Hu Zi.
Tiger had originally planned to sneak away after hearing the instructions.
Once she opened her mouth, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
The person who received the mushroom bags couldn't help but sneer, "Tiger, we've all received our mushroom bags, what about yours?"
"Why haven't we heard anything after all this time?"
Others chimed in with jokes: "Could it be that you couldn't buy any mushroom bags?"
"Back when your family was growing mushrooms with Weidong, Weidong provided the mushroom spawn bags. Now that you're doing it on your own, do you know where to buy mushroom spawn bags?"
"Don't let the greenhouses be all set up, only to find you can't get the mushroom bags out!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Many farmers who followed Hu Zi also came to join in the fun.
Hearing their mockery, they couldn't help but look at Hu Zi, waiting for him to speak.
After all, Li Weidong's mushroom bags had already been distributed, but Hu Zi's hadn't, so it was understandable that he was nervous.
Tiger raised his chin: "Who said I can't produce mushroom bags? I bought them a long time ago, they just haven't been delivered yet."
"In a couple more days, my mushroom bags will arrive, and then my people can start work. As for you..."
He glanced coldly at the crowd and sneered, "Just work hard for Li Weidong. After all, with a purchase price of four cents per pound, he can make more than double the profit by reselling it."
"I've never seen anyone willingly exploited. What's wrong with you people? Did the reform and opening up leave you behind? You just like being slaves, don't you?"
The farmers who were with Hu Zi immediately burst into laughter and joined in the mockery.
Li Weidong laughed: "Whether it's exploitation or not, everyone knows the answer. If I were you, I would go back and read more books instead of wasting time here."
"After all, you know your own level. Don't come back to me when the mushrooms don't grow, I won't help you."
He was never some saint. He only agreed to help Tiger's family grow mushrooms because his mother asked him to.
Now he's just waiting to see Tiger get into trouble!
Tiger's face darkened, and he spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground: "Bullshit! It's just growing mushrooms, how hard can it be?"
"You're still not growing mushrooms? Let me tell you, this time I'm definitely better than you, I'll crush you under my feet!"
Having said that, he strode away.
While organizing the list, Shen Xiaoyan joked, "No wonder those old masters were reluctant to take on apprentices in the past. It's true that teaching an apprentice can starve the master!"
Li Weidong sneered, "Teach an apprentice? He has to actually know how to do it first."
Riding a donkey while reading a script, we'll see!
...
Tiger wasn't bragging; his mushroom bags were delivered quickly.
They even hired two big trucks, which looked very impressive.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiulian couldn't help but worry again: "Dong, Hu Zi's family brought so many farmers this time and bought so many mushroom bags. He might actually succeed."
"Given his personality, once he makes a fortune, won't he brag about it to us?"
She had learned her lesson from her own brother's family.
Not to mention that her two older sisters also joined in.
Anyone with a brain knows that once the mushrooms sprout and money is made, all three families will come to show off their power.
She sighed again as she thought about it.
It's not that I can't stand seeing others living well, it's just that the thought of being ridiculed and mocked at my door makes me feel annoyed.
Li Weidong didn't care at all: "Let's talk about it after we can make it work. Why are you worrying about this, Mom?"
"If you really have nothing to do, fry up the bag of dried fish I bought earlier, and I'll bring it over to Lili and the others later."
Li Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoye live on campus and eat and sleep there. They rarely leave the school, and the food in the school cafeteria is not very good.
Even with money, it's hard to find good food.
The two girls are at the age where they are growing. It was not easy to fatten Zhou Xiaoye up a bit during the summer vacation, so they can't let her lose weight again.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiulian immediately perked up: "Since you're going to deliver vegetables to the school, I'll go buy a pig's trotter, stew it, and deliver it together with the vegetables."
He then got busy with his work.
Li Weidong sat in the courtyard, watching the people outside happily carrying their mushroom bags home, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Many things cannot be learned by simply copying others. Without accumulating experience and putting in hard work to study, failure is inevitable.
Tiger's mushroom bags looked normal at first glance, but in reality, they were quite different from his.
He let out a long breath, leaned back in the deck chair, looked at the azure sky, and suddenly laughed.
Sometimes, he doesn't even have to lift a finger; Tiger can kill himself.
That's interesting.
...
After the mushroom bags were distributed, everyone got busy.
This mushroom looks simple; all you need to do is build up the substrate bag, water it regularly, and the mushrooms will grow.
But in reality, there are many more intricacies involved!
There are specific guidelines for how to place the mushroom bags, when to water them, and how much to water them.
Li Weidong, accompanied by Zhang Bin, visited each household, personally inspecting and guiding every greenhouse to ensure that no one was overlooked.
For Tiger, however, things were much simpler.
"Just water it, don't you understand?"
"Mushrooms can only grow with water!"
"Just keep the mushroom bags moist, what else do you need to worry about!"
These three sentences were enough to dismiss the vast majority of farmers who came to inquire.
Tiger would only lazily follow someone around if they asked him to get to the bottom of things, but he couldn't actually explain anything and just made up a bunch of excuses to get by.
