CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 1166: EARLY MORNING MARKET RUN

The feeling in Chen Yang’s heart was exactly the same as the feeling in Dai Annie’s heart.

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Dai Annie nodded in strong agreement.

"Yes, it always feels strange, but he seems to be very kind to you, and his words to you are very sincere," Dai Annie said.

Chen Yang also felt this to some extent.

He had only interacted with the old man twice, but the old man made him feel as if he was treating him like someone he had a relationship with.

His words were quite polite, and he acted very seriously.

Especially when leaving just now, he seriously instructed Chen Yang, showing only goodwill.

Chen Yang couldn’t quite understand why he was acting this way.

"Well, whatever, it’s not a bad thing anyway, and there won’t be much contact in the future, so thinking about it doesn’t really help."

Unable to figure it out, Chen Yang simply didn’t think about it anymore.

Anyway, he won’t be going to Yunlong Temple in the future, and there won’t be much interaction with the old man.

Dai Annie nodded, then said nothing more. She quietly returned to Liuhua Village with Chen Yang, took a shower, and went to sleep.

After the feng shui ritual was performed, the village became much quieter.

No one talked about ill omens or anything like that anymore.

Even if there was discussion on this topic, it was only praising the old man’s profound knowledge in Taoism or being happy about the improved feng shui of Liuhua Village.

The day after the ritual, there was basically nothing to do.

Chen Yang spent the entire day with Dai Annie helping out all around the village. In the afternoon, it was just wandering around casually, you could say it was a day spent idling at home.

The next morning, Chen Yang got up at around five.

Because today was the agreed time for gathering fruit, Li Han and Wang Qingyue were going to come over.

He certainly had to entertain them, and since the food at home was often eaten, there wasn’t much flavor left.

So Chen Yang planned to head to the county’s vegetable market early to buy some fresh ingredients. Everyone would be helping out, so he definitely wanted to serve some good food for them.

That’s what Chen Yang planned, so after getting up, he quickly got dressed and finished washing up.

He originally wanted to ask Dai Annie to go with him, but upon seeing the still dark sky outside and looking at the sleeping Dai Annie, he couldn’t bear to disturb her.

So he took the keys alone and drove out of Liuhua Village.

In the rural morning, the air is exceptionally fresh, especially after last night’s drizzle, the air in the mountain woods was even fresher.

Chen Yang opened the window, took a few deep breaths, and felt slightly happier.

After more than half an hour, he reached the county town from Liuhua Village.

Starting off at five, he arrived at the county town by about six. By this time, the sky was already gradually brightening, but there weren’t many people on the roads.

However, by the time he reached the vegetable market, it was very lively.

The vendors selling vegetables had long arrived to set up their stalls here.

The elderly folks who wanted to buy fresh produce also hurried over to buy vegetables in the early morning.

"There’s really a lot of people, if I come a bit later, there probably won’t be anything left to buy."

Looking at the bustling vegetable market, Chen Yang quickly got out of the car and started wandering around the market.

The first stop was the seafood market, where he bought some crayfish, crabs, and the like.

These were the essential dishes, they couldn’t be missed.

After purchasing these, Chen Yang thought of heading to the vegetable area to buy some simple vegetables.

So he carried the purchased crayfish and crabs to the vegetable area.

But after wandering a circle, he found that the vegetables in this area weren’t very fresh, far from the ones grown in his village.

"I might as well go pick some from the village."

Chen Yang shook his head, turned to leave the vegetable market, since he’d almost bought enough, just missing a few vegetables.

Just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly noticed a spot not far away selling vegetables surrounded by people, making it very lively.

It seemed like they were selling something quite rare.

Seeing this, Chen Yang curiously went over to take a look.

Upon getting closer, he found out that it was a middle-aged uncle with a basket, selling wild mountain mushrooms.

The uncle had a cigarette dangling from his lips and was counting money in his hand.

As he counted, he kept talking.

"Let me tell you, these wild mushrooms, are all collected from the mountains, their taste is delicious and pure."

"Feel free to buy them and eat them, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

The uncle said quite proudly.

The surrounding crowd also gossiped and watched from the side.

Wild mushrooms have been quite popular lately; those who frequently buy vegetables have heard of the reputation of wild mushrooms and know that they taste good.

That’s why there were so many people watching.

But due to pricing, many were hesitant to make a decision.

Chen Yang originally wanted to leave, but for some reason, he jokingly asked, "Boss, how are you selling these wild mushrooms?"

Seeing a business opportunity, the uncle immediately looked at Chen Yang and replied, "Young man, these wild mushrooms are a thousand yuan per jin."

"A thousand yuan per jin? That’s a sky-high price."

Hearing this quote, Chen Yang was genuinely surprised, hence his subconscious remark about the sky-high price.

Just a second ago, the uncle was all smiles, but upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, his expression turned a little sour.

"Young man, do you know your goods? These are wild mushrooms. Go out and check the prices elsewhere, aren’t they the same? Mine are actually quite affordable," the uncle said annoyed.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

Is there anyone who understands the market for wild mushrooms better than him?

Ever since he cultivated the evolved version of wild mushrooms, ordinary wild mushrooms have actually gone down in price.

It’s approximately six hundred yuan per jin.

The evolved wild mushrooms selling for a thousand yuan per jin is actually about right.

But this uncle’s wild mushrooms were clearly ordinary ones, so selling them for a thousand yuan per jin wasn’t exorbitant?

"Uncle, I mentioned the sky-high price because I understand the goods. For mushrooms like yours, the price is around six hundred yuan," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Tsk, young man, you don’t understand. Anyway, that’s my price. If you want, buy it; if not, forget it. I’m not lowering the price," the uncle waved his hand, saying very unenthusiastically.

Chen Yang chuckled, not intending to say anything more to the uncle, he turned to leave.

But just then, an elderly aunt suddenly grabbed Chen Yang and said, "Young man, you say you understand wild mushrooms, so you definitely have other purchasing channels, right? Aunt here wants to buy some, can you tell me where?"

Chen Yang paused and looked at the aunt, then subconsciously said, "Of course, but it’s a bit far from here, it’ll take more than half an hour by car."

Upon hearing there was a place to buy cheaper wild mushrooms, the aunt’s eyes instantly lit up.

"Really? A bit further is fine, as long as there are wild mushrooms for six hundred yuan per jin, it’s worth the trip," the aunt said decisively.

"Yes, young man, tell us, we want to buy some too, this is too expensive, not worth it."

...

Not only the aunt wanted to buy, but all the others surrounding the wild mushrooms also wanted to purchase them.

But the uncle’s were too expensive, so they hesitated.

Now, hearing that Chen Yang had cheaper sources, they all began inquiring him.

Stealing business right in front of others isn’t quite right, but Chen Yang didn’t initiate it—they came to ask him.

With business knocking at your door, is there any reason not to engage?
