181: Chapter 181: Stealing Chickens 181: Chapter 181: Stealing Chickens “Brother Wu is indeed capable!

In such a short time, you’ve managed to run so many businesses!

But…

this shiitake mushroom sauce factory could use ordinary cultivated mushrooms!

Using wild mushrooms to make sauce, isn’t that a bit of a waste?”

Chen Zhaofeng felt embarrassed as soon as he finished speaking.

When Jiji first opened, he quickly terminated the supply from Wu Xiaoyu.

Now, without wild mushrooms, the breakfast business had declined, and he had to come begging again, feeling utterly ashamed.

But he had to bring it up, since pride is nothing compared to money!

Wu Xiaoyu thought using wild mushrooms to make sauce was wasteful; he somewhat agreed but didn’t show it, instead, he said seriously:

“The sauce made from wild mushrooms is naturally much better than that from ordinary mushrooms.

How else could we open up the market?”

Chen Zhaofeng laughed awkwardly and replied, “That’s true…

that’s true!

But I still want to shamelessly ask, could you…

spare me some mushrooms?”

Seeing Chen’s desperation for his wild mushrooms, Wu Xiaoyu felt increasingly proud.

Selling him the mushrooms didn’t affect his own business, as his shop didn’t make mushroom buns.

But he wasn’t a night pot to be taken out when needed and kicked under the bed when not.

He had temper and personality; how could he let go of the past with just a word?

Wu Xiaoyu replied with difficulty, “This…

might not be possible!

You know I co-founded Jiji with Zhou Dong!”

“Just a few days ago, Zhou Dong repeatedly instructed that all the farm products I raise and grow are to be supplied exclusively to Jiji, and cannot be sold to others.”

Chen Zhaofeng cursed in his heart, “You’re fooling ghosts!

Obviously, you’re still selling mushrooms to Sacred Land County, yet you say you can’t sell to others, not even taking the effort to lie properly?”

Seeing Chen’s face darken, Wu Xiaoyu felt a perverse pleasure growing, smiled awkwardly, and continued:

“If I hadn’t promised Zhou Dong, I would certainly supply mushrooms and that local chicken to you, Boss Chen!”

Hearing about the local chicken, Chen Zhaofeng felt even more uncomfortable.

He knew Jiji’s success in Longhe Town depended entirely on those chickens fed by Wu Xiaoyu.

Now not only wouldn’t he sell him mushrooms, but he also had to taunt him with the chickens.

Was this to humiliate him?

“Is that so?

I thought it was Brother Zhang who didn’t want to sell chickens to me.

Turns out Boss Zhou didn’t agree!

I really misunderstood you before!” Chen Zhaofeng said coldly.

Wu Xiaoyu sipped his tea and nodded helplessly.

Seeing the situation turn awkward, Chen Zhaofeng decided to leave, “Since that’s the case, I won’t waste your time, Brother Wu.

Please, go back!”

Feeling satisfied, Wu Xiaoyu stood up and shamelessly asked, “By the way…

Boss Chen just mentioned…

giving me some Dragon Well tea, I wonder…”

Nima!

Not selling me mushrooms and still wanting my top-grade Dragon Well tea?

What makes you so confident?

You think I’m a fool?

Seeing his brazen attitude, Chen Zhaofeng grew angrier, but left without further words.

Watching him leave, Wu Xiaoyu mumbled, “Such a big boss doesn’t keep his word, really…”

Exiting Juxian Inn, Wu Xiaoyu felt increasingly pleased, considering it payback for past grievances.

Who made you cut off the supply contract out of selfishness?

Regret it now, don’t you?

But it’s too late!

Wu Xiaoyu hopped on his motorcycle, humming a tune, heading towards Daxin Village, while Chen Zhaofeng sat gloomily behind his counter for a long while before calling Liu Sheng.

…

The village’s shiitake mushroom sauce factory had started construction, and his father’s lung disease was cured.

Wu Xiaoyu let him supervise the construction while he continued cultivating on the mountain.

On this clear, sunny, but not scorching day, with a gentle cool summer breeze, Wu Xiaoyu crafted a talisman, recited a spell, and entered Jade Token to cultivate.

Bear Mountain was filled with the sounds of birds and insects, with no human figures in sight.

Liu Sheng had his lunch early, and when no one was around, he sneaked up the mountain with a sack.

With a cautious heart, he reached the foot of Bear Mountain, gathered his courage, and climbed up slowly.

At the entrance of the chicken farm, Liu Sheng peered inside carefully, seeing no one, he called out, “Xiaoyu…

Xiaoyu, are you here?”

After calling several times, he only heard the summer cicadas in response.

Liu Sheng approached the gate, saw the lock was just hanging there, not securely locked, so he entered.

Even though he didn’t see anyone at the farm, he was still a bit nervous, clearing his throat, straightening his back, and pretentiously walked towards the straw hut, calling, “Xiaoyu…

Xiaoyu…”

After calling several times without a reply, he slowly opened the door to the straw hut, saw no one inside, and felt a bit relaxed.

He closed the door, then walked towards the chicken coop with his sack, remembering how he failed to catch any chickens last time and got mocked by Wu Xiaoyu.

But today, luck seemed to be on his side; the whole mountain was deserted, and the chicken farm’s gate was unlocked, couldn’t he do as he pleased?

Liu Sheng excitedly ran into the chicken flock.

Startled chickens ran wildly, some even tried to fly.

“Damn!

Behave yourself, I just want to catch one.

If you don’t cooperate, I’ll kill you all!” Liu Sheng cursed and charged at a chicken.

These free-range chickens were much tougher than ordinary chickens.

With a swift run, the chicken eluded him and he stumbled to the ground.

Picking himself up and dusting off his pants, Liu Sheng charged again.

After several tries, he finally caught a chicken.

He glanced around, still no one in sight, feeling relieved, he grabbed the chicken’s neck, twisted it hard, killing it, then quickly stuffed it into his sack.

Proud of catching the chicken, Liu Sheng began humming and walked around the farm like he owned the place.

Just as he was about to head down the mountain, he encountered Wu Xiaoyu, who had just finished cultivating, at the straw hut’s door.

The door of the straw hut creaked open.

Hearing the sound, Liu Sheng turned quickly to find Wu Xiaoyu staring at him, his heart racing, standing there dumbfounded.

Seeing Liu Sheng holding a sack, Wu Xiaoyu was also surprised.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Although Liu Sheng had been careful when climbing the mountain and unnoticed, and he checked the farm thoroughly before stealing the chicken, he was puzzled how Wu Xiaoyu had suddenly appeared from the hut which had seemed empty before.

Liu Sheng’s mind went blank; after a pause, he hurriedly hid the sack behind him, awkwardly stammering, “You…

you’re here?”

Wu Xiaoyu stared directly at him, noticing his attempt to hide the sack, chuckled inwardly, and said, “What do you mean ‘I’m here’?

This is my chicken farm; of course, I should be here watching it.”
