Translator: End Less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Ju walked over and handed two bottles filled with liquid to Du Yue. Du Yue looked at Xia Ju in surprise. The results are out so quickly? That fast? Unexpectedly, Xia Ju shook her head. Not yet. This is a nutrient solution for you to grow mushrooms.

Du Yue was surprised and happy. She had not even started planting mushrooms, but Xia Ju had already prepared the nutrient solution for her.

Instantly, Du Yues heart warmed. However, before Du Yue could speak again, Xia Ju had already turned around. Remember to dilute it when you use it. The ratio is 1:30. Just spray it twice a day in the morning and evening.

After saying this quickly, Xia Ju closed the door again. Looking at the tightly shut door, Du Yue smiled helplessly. Xia Ju, who was immersed in her research, looked a little dull, but she was also quite cute.

Du Yue was already very confident. Now that she had Xia Jus nutrient solution, she was even more confident. The environment that fungi were suitable for was different from ordinary crops. They were suitable for dark, cold, and humid places. The newly built house had no windows and was already dark enough. As for the humidity and coldness, she had to work hard to make it happen.

Du Yue found He Xings improved humidifier in her s.p.a.ce. She only needed one and adjusted the power to the maximum to ensure that the entire house was in a humid environment. After all the necessary conditions were prepared, the shelves and trays were placed properly, and the cultivation of the fungus could begin. For the first experiment, Du Yue did not want to raise too troublesome varieties, so she chose the most common mushrooms. s.h.i.+take mushrooms could be planted directly on wood, but oyster mushrooms needed to be planted in trays. Du Yue was cultivating the mushrooms alone in the house. When she came back to her senses, it was already evening.

From that day onward, the three of them began to get busy.

After a few days of careful care, the chicks had grown up a little. They could already be placed in the outdoor chicken coop. Du Yue covered the chicken coop with dry straw and placed the saucers containing water and feed outside the coop. Previously, when Zuo Mingdong brought people to build a house, he also helped Du Yue build a shed above the chicken coop. This shed was not used to keep out the rain but to repel the bugs. The researchers at the base were constantly researching the bug repellent and improving it. Now, its effect was several times better than before.

The latest version of insect repellent only needed to be sprayed once a week. However, because its effect was better, people had to stay indoors every time they sprayed the medicine. They could not come into contact with the repellent. If humans could not, then these little chicks definitely could not either.

They had spent a lot of money buying these five chicks, so Du Yue had to take good care of them. When one was focused on one thing, time would pa.s.s quickly. Du Yue did not even feel anything, and a week had already pa.s.sed. Every day, she fed the chickens and sprayed the nutrient solution on the mushrooms. As the s.h.i.+take mushrooms growth speed was relatively slow, even with the support of the nutrient solution, there was not much change. However, it was different for the oyster mushrooms. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would only take a little more than a month to plant the spores and harvest the mushrooms.

Coupled with the use of the nutrient solution, the growth speed was even faster. Only seven days had pa.s.sed, and Du Yue had already seen many small mushrooms. Even though there was still some time before the harvest, Du Yue was still in a good mood. After all, if one saw the results of ones labor, one would feel very happy, right?

Unfortunately, Xia Ju locked herself in her room every day to do research. Du Yue did not even have the chance to share her joy with her. On this day, He Xing had just arrived home on the bike. Before he could stand firm, he saw Du Yue running over with a smile. He Xing looked over curiously. Whats wrong? Why are you so happy today? Du Yue took He Xings hand and led him to the house where the mushrooms were planted. The mushrooms have grown. Come with me to take a look.

The courtyard was not big, and the two of them walked to the mushroom house in a few steps. The house was dark and damp. Du Yue held a flashlight in her hand. Although the brightness of the flashlight was limited and they could barely see things, with the dim light of the flashlight, He Xing saw the small mushrooms planted in the tray.

Du Yue excitedly pulled He Xing and said, Look, 1 didnt expect these mushrooms to grow so quickly! Theyll probably mature in half a month. When the time comes, Ill stir-fry these mushrooms for you and Xia Ju!

The three of them did not usually eat mushrooms, but they had grown these themselves, so the meaning was different. Do you think we can exchange the mushrooms for eggs after they mature?

Du Yue asked..
