The villagers cherish those mushroom sheds as if they were treasures, guarding them carefully for fear that outsiders would steal the key technology inside. They are extremely vigilant towards unfamiliar faces, treating them like thieves.
The reason for this situation is partly because Mo Youxian is highly respected in the village, which makes people wary of him; but more importantly, it stems from some strange and subtle psychological factors deep in their hearts.
In any case, this mushroom cultivation technique is a unique and valuable asset of their small village.
Back when Mo Yuan first started trying to grow mushrooms, he generously said that anyone willing to learn from him was welcome to join.
However, apart from Gouzi's family and Mo Youxian's family, the other villagers dared not follow suit. After all, this was not as easy as children playing house; it was a major undertaking that required a real investment of money and effort.
Although Mo Yuan has always demonstrated exceptional business acumen, it is only natural to feel fear and worry when faced with something so new and uncertain, fearing that failure would result in losing everything.
Therefore, most people ultimately chose to wait and see and did not follow suit in building mushroom sheds.
Now, seeing those mushroom sheds actually making money, the villagers feel not only envy, jealousy, and hatred, but also deep regret.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, if they had been braver back then and had joined Mo Yuan in planting mushrooms, they would surely be among the people now reaping the rewards and beaming with joy.
Speaking of the Mo Chunsheng, Gouzi, and their families, they are truly mysterious! Although they have always kept the market price of their mushrooms a closely guarded secret, refusing to divulge even the slightest hint, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that this business is definitely lucrative!
Look at them! Every day before dawn, these three families are already busy harvesting mushrooms! The scene is truly bustling with activity. Sometimes, worried that the yield won't meet the demand for the next day, they even continue working after dinner. After carefully picking those fresh and juicy mushrooms, they quickly cover them with damp cloths, afraid that even the slightest hint of staleness will affect their appearance.
Moreover, to make their work easier, they even connected electricity to the mushroom shed. So, whether it's the dead of night or the darkest hour before dawn, whenever you pass by their mushroom shed, you can always see it brightly lit and bustling with people. Everyone is working diligently, just to get these mushrooms to the county town as quickly as possible.
And so, every morning, you would see a truck loaded with mushrooms depart from the village for the county town. When it returned, the truck would be empty. Not only that, these three families would often bring back things from the city. The most obvious change was their economic situation; it improved day by day!
Especially the Gouzi family; they used to be one of the poorest households in the village. But now? You can often smell the delicious aroma of meat wafting from their kitchen. It's obvious they buy it to improve their meals after selling mushrooms in town. If someone said growing mushrooms doesn't make money, even a ghost wouldn't believe it!
The most crucial point is that no matter how much those with ulterior motives try to extract information from them, they will find it difficult to obtain any valuable information.
So these people secretly decided to go to the county town to find out for themselves. When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw mushrooms being sold with clearly marked prices, and the price was as high as 50 cents per pound!
This shocked them so much they almost wet their pants on the spot. Five cents a pound! What does that even mean?
You know, one pound of mushrooms can be exchanged for two or three pounds of flour! Are these mushrooms made of gold or something?
Although they knew in their hearts that the price offered by Mo Yuan and others as sellers was certainly not as high as five cents, even so, the price must have been considerable. Otherwise, why would the supply and marketing cooperative sell at such a high price?
Once this astonishing news was released, it spread like wildfire throughout Xiaomo Village.
In an instant, the entire village erupted in commotion, with people spreading the news far and wide. The more this happened, the stronger their feelings of regret became.
They were all filled with regret, thinking: "If only I had started growing mushrooms back then, wouldn't I be rich by now?" Because of this, they began to wonder if they should humble themselves before Mo Yuan, say a few kind words, and see if he would still be willing to teach them mushroom cultivation techniques and lead them to wealth. Although they were really unsure, they had to give it a try!
After all, when Mo Yuan confidently declared that he could lead everyone to grow mushrooms, even he himself was not clear about the specific market conditions.
You have to understand, looking at the entire Xiangcheng County, no one had ever tried growing mushrooms before! Everything was full of uncertainty and unknowns.
However, at this moment, facts speak louder than words: these mushrooms have indeed proven to be highly profitable. These aren't just ordinary mushroom sheds; they're practically living money trees!
At this point, can Mo Yuan still maintain his noble character and broad-mindedness, knowing full well that there are huge business opportunities involved, yet still be willing to pass on the planting techniques to everyone?
After all, for most normal people, each additional professor means an extra strong competitor out of nowhere!
