Are you married?
That's definitely not the case!
However, considering what these aunties and older women meant...
Zhao Haoran had no choice but to grit his teeth and go for it.
The key is to pretend to be relaxed, casual, and proud, and say, "I'm not married, but I do have a fiancée!"
He still felt a little guilty after he finished speaking.
This fiancée had just reported "Zhao Haoran".
But these people don't know either!
Hearing this answer, Aunt Luo was visibly disappointed. She gave an awkward smile, but didn't forget to add, "You have a fiancée? That's great."
Those around her inwardly scoffed at what Aunt Luo had said.
What do you mean, that's great? You mean it's a pity!
Mingming is Aunt Luo's daughter. She is very beautiful and can be considered the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. Many people are happy to see her.
There were at least twenty, if not thirty, suitors who came to propose marriage.
Unfortunately, this Aunt Luo is no good at this or that.
It's really nothing, everyone just thinks their own child is the best!
Besides, it's normal for a woman to be sought after by many men!
However, Aunt Luo's actions were somewhat unethical.
Why are you always eyeing men who have families and careers?
Last time it was Xiao Yichen. He's already married, but Aunt Luo was still spreading sour things about him everywhere.
If you were interested, you should have said so before the wedding!
This time, the man he's interested in already has a fiancée and is engaged.
Everyone was thinking these things, but the conversation didn't fall silent.
This is an expert from Shanghai.
He's the apple of their eye.
How can we let his words fall to the ground?
Then someone else chimed in, "Expert Zhao, do you think your wife will agree to you coming here? Being from all over the country like this will really strain your relationship!"
In their culture, once engaged, one is considered part of the groom's family.
She wouldn't be bad to call her a daughter-in-law.
Zhao Haoran was overwhelmed by the directness of these people.
That's such a private question. I might as well go back and fight Xiao Yichen again.
In the end, he was the one lying on the ground.
However, considering his mission, Zhao Haoran couldn't just abandon his responsibilities and leave.
He could only make an excuse to leave, looking helpless: "Aunties and grandmas, I have something to do. Our mushroom team has just been established, and I need to see the leader about when to start building the greenhouse and preparing materials. Oh dear, so much to do! I have to go now!"
As he was talking, he tried to leave.
Unfortunately, his acting was too exaggerated, and even his aunts and grandmothers didn't hesitate to criticize him.
However, the group of people around them hadn't gotten the information they wanted yet and were reluctant to let him go: "Expert Zhao, let's talk. What's the situation in your Haishi?"
Tell us about it! Growing mushrooms isn't in such a rush.
Zhao Haoran objected: "How can we not be in a hurry? The sooner the mushrooms sprout, the sooner we can have a harvest. These mushrooms sell for about the same price as pork in Shanghai, so we should be able to sell them for the same price here!"
"What is this? It looks like pork! Oh dear, Dr. Zhao, hurry up and get there right away! We can't delay! This kind of mushroom is the real deal! You'd better hurry!"
Upon hearing Zhao Haoran's words, everyone quickly moved aside.
My goodness!
They thought these mushrooms were at most similar to the persimmons and cucumbers from the vegetable team.
A few cents a pound would be good!
I never expected this.
A pound can be sold for six or seven cents.
Then hurry up and get going! What are you waiting for?
Their year-end meat dumplings are all waiting for them!
Zhao Haoran explained the stakes, which finally allowed them to escape the encirclement after much difficulty.
Walk a few steps faster, then stop and catch your breath.
Looking back, there are these people gathered together, whispering endlessly.
My God, these people are still watching me!
Startled, Zhao Haoran quickened his pace and took a few more steps.
Go find Xiao Aimin!
It's better to be a gay man!
As a result, it was also difficult to deal with the male comrades.
He asked when we would start working.
Xiao Aimin said decisively, "It'll start this afternoon, right after lunch. I'll leave it to Expert Zhao then!"
Zhao Haoran, his face blank: No, I just arrived, didn't I? Aren't I an expert? Weren't you going to give me preferential treatment?
Is this how they treat us?
They gave us the exam questions as soon as we arrived yesterday, the exam was this morning, and we started working this afternoon!
Can't you just let me rest for a bit!
So all the preferential treatment you've given me is limited to these meals, drinks, and verbal respect?
Numb, Zhao Haoran no longer wanted to resist.
In the afternoon, he obediently followed Xiao Aimin to work.
Before the actual groundbreaking ceremony, a string of firecrackers was set off.
Xiao Aimin and Xiao Aijun briefly introduced the original intention of establishing the Mushroom Team and their vision for the future.
Then came Zhao Haoran's speech.
It's mainly related to technology.
Zhao Haoran held a pre-written manuscript in his left hand and a large megaphone in his right, and began to speak.
"This kind of mushroom is simple in some ways, but difficult in others. The key is to control the temperature and humidity."
In addition, it's important to keep things clean and tidy!
So how can we control the temperature and humidity?
The simplest solution is to build a greenhouse.
We started growing mushrooms at the end of August, so the greenhouse needs to be built in a sheltered, sunny spot to keep it warm.
Another point is that we've just started planting, and everyone's techniques are still immature.
We'll start by building small-scale greenhouses.
Smaller areas also have their advantages, such as wind and rain resistance and easy ventilation.
