101: Chapter 101 Naming 101: Chapter 101 Naming These days, some people have begun to be suspicious about how I always manage to find large patches of mushrooms.

But they would never guess that I have the “ripening” divine skill; they simply find it hard to understand and are a bit envious!

Back in the village, when the villagers saw me coming back from the town again on my tricycle, their eyes were filled with immense envy.

This guy has gone to the town to sell mushrooms again.

How did he sell off so many mushrooms so quickly?

Are they really that easy to sell?

That girl, Li Yujia, spent a full five or six days in the town selling forty kilograms of mushrooms, but Wu Xiaoyu sold them all in just half a day’s effort?

What’s the secret behind this?

Countless villagers were guessing and talking about it, but no one went to ask Wu Xiaoyu.

After all, would he tell you the truth about such things?

I heard that some of the Liu family’s boys and some boys from the Niu family secretly followed Wu Xiaoyu into the mountains for mushroom picking, but soon lost track of him.

What does this mean…

Oh!

Why are some people just so lucky?

While these people were envious and jealous of Wu Xiaoyu, they didn’t know that he was already toiling for them.

Wu Xiaoyu parked his tricycle at home and took the delivery box containing mushroom spores up the mountain.

At mid-mountain, he saw that the gate of the chicken farm was locked; it seemed Brother Dashan was not home.

Perfect time to test these mushroom spores.

Mushrooms rely on dead wood and fallen leaves for nutrients.

So, upon opening the package, the most immediately visible thing was a nutrient base made from decayed wood chips.

Picking up the nutrient base and examining it closely, he could see the fine threads of the mushroom spores.

Wu Xiaoyu fetched some Spiritual Spring Water and poured it undiluted over the spores.

The thin spores quickly sprouted and grew, and in just a few minutes, the entire nutrient base was covered densely with mushrooms.

Wow!

That speed is really eye-popping; anyone who saw it would mistake it for magic.

Wu Xiaoyu picked a mushroom, then took a few wild mushrooms left in the thatched hut and compared them for a long time but couldn’t see any difference.

The smell was also not different at all.

He couldn’t tell if there was any taste difference, so he tasted both mushrooms separately for a while but found no distinction.

Wu Xiaoyu suspected there was a difference between the mushrooms, but he had actually fallen into conventional thinking.

Ordinary wild mushrooms and artificially cultivated ones do have significant differences due to the varying growth environments and surrounding nutrients.

But his so-called wild mushrooms were only ripened with Spiritual Spring Water, which had already provided the nutrients to the mushroom spores.

Thus, the nutrients from the surrounding dead wood and fallen leaves were basically irrelevant.

So, mushrooms ripened with Spiritual Spring Water wouldn’t differ from each other at all.

The reason his mushrooms were of better quality than others’ wild mushrooms was that the nutrients in the Spiritual Spring Water were much better than those in the typical wild mushroom growth environment.

In conclusion, there’s no difference at all between mushroom spores bought online and those from the mountain; the mushrooms cultivated would be completely identical.

He could confidently cultivate mushrooms in the mountains, but the workload of spraying Spiritual Spring Water would be much greater than before.

While Wu Xiaoyu was worrying about spraying Spiritual Spring Water, Zhou Dong called him again, saying that the restaurant staff had been gathered.

He successfully persuaded several chefs from his family’s restaurants to join.

The business procedures were also being handled.

Zhou Dong called Wu Xiaoyu mainly to discuss the restaurant’s name and the matter of registered capital.

A hotel’s name could reflect its pricing, taste, and even culinary style, so a good name could have a significant impact.

Like Zhou’s family restaurant, named “Super Delicious,” which was simple and bold but didn’t sound upscale.

Outsiders might think it’s just a small stall.

So Zhou Shunyi had been contemplating changing the name, though changing the name of a decades-old restaurant had both pros and cons.

Changing to a new name meant no one would recognize it, and additional promotional expenses would be necessary.

Zhou Dong’s meaning was to directly choose a grand name to avoid the need for a change in the future when the business expanded.

The two of them discussed it over the phone for more than an hour but didn’t come up with a good name.

“How about ‘General Mansion’?”

Zhou Dong thought the name was grand and classical, and it sounded easy on the ears.

After a flurry of online checks, he disappointedly told Wu Xiaoyu, “Someone already took this name!”

Darn it!

They thought of over ten names, and four of them were already used.

Wu Xiaoyu pondered for a while and then said knowingly, “Big Fortune, eat chicken tonight.

How about ‘Jiji’?”

Jiji?

Chicken…

chicken.

Just right, their main dish would be free-range chicken, and the name is also memorable.

After checking, Zhou Dong said, “This name is available, let’s go with Jiji!”

Having settled on a name, the most important issue came up—money.

As previously agreed, they would each contribute half of the funds and share the equity equally, making decisions together.

“Alright…

time to pay up!

Fifteen thousand, don’t let it keep you awake at night!” Zhou Dong joked.

Thinking of the fifteen thousand expenditure, Wu Xiaoyu’s heart twitched a bit.

But in all things in life, you must give to gain!

Business with zero cost and pure profit exists only in criminal law, and as a law-abiding citizen, bleeding a bit was acceptable!

Luckily, this time, the big bleed was bearable.

Wu Xiaoyu hung up the phone and transferred fifteen thousand to Zhou Dong through online banking.

Staring at the shrinking number on his online banking account, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly didn’t feel so pained.

Money in the digital world was just numbers; spending it didn’t hurt as much as using real cash.

This seemed to be another reason for the popularity of online shopping.

Now, with limited funds still not enough for carefree spending, Wu Xiaoyu considered withdrawing some money to keep at home to ensure spending discipline.

Since artificially cultivated spores and wild spores in the mountain produced the same mushrooms, and with the new business from Holy Land Hotel, Wu Xiaoyu began to sporadically plant mushrooms around the chicken farm.

Most villagers dared not cross the mountain to find mushrooms and were immensely envious that the young man from the Wu family could almost daily dig up so many mushrooms.
