Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1261 - 623: Traveling by Truck_2

Liu JinXue rubbed his eyes and finally woke up. Just as he was about to speak, a glance at the drying machine made him forget what he wanted to say. He fiddled with his head down for a while before he noticed the notebook and pen on the ground. Grabbing them hastily, he prepared to jot down notes.

Yan Fei grabbed him, "Let’s go, go sleep — who asked you to work like this? No matter how urgent the matter is, you can’t keep burning the midnight oil!"

Struggling, Liu JinXue insisted, "Don’t pull me, I’m about to succeed. Just give me two more days... one more day, and I will have tested out this whole process. Then when the villagers bring their Agaricus bisporus, they won’t have to worry about not getting a good price if they arrive late."

Currently, there are those in the village who grow Agaricus bisporus, but in small quantities, trying to cultivate them under their own conditions. But even if they learn the technology here, once they get home, they always tend to forget this or that. Take the harvesting and transportation of Agaricus bisporus for example; when several households first brought in their produce, it was all jumbled up on the cart and turned into mushy mushrooms.

Others harvest theirs the afternoon before, and then rush to send them in the next morning during the market day.

Agaricus bisporus is truly not durable, and the rural areas lack the conditions for storage and preservation. With such conditions, Agaricus bisporus delivered like this could hardly be sold at a high price anymore.

Then Liu JinXue started to study how to make dried mushrooms from Agaricus bisporus, which would make storage and transportation much more convenient. Especially for those in the countryside, with their small volumes and varying qualities, even if they sold dried Agaricus bisporus a little cheaper, it would still be better than letting them rot — now with beef jerky suppliers all over the neighboring cities and districts, with the durability of dried Agaricus bisporus, even if out-of-town buyers don’t purchase them, there will be no worries about finding a market for them.

It was like the feeder machine they made on the farm; equipment and technology might be available elsewhere, but due to the lack of information, it’s not easy to find. It’s not much easier than figuring it out on their own.

Liu JinXue was now experimenting with how to make dried Agaricus bisporus that was both good-looking and unaffected in taste, having been working tirelessly for several days. Agaricus bisporus is different from other mushrooms, like Oyster Mushrooms and Shiitake mushrooms, which are easier to dry. Everyone knows Agaricus bisporus is white, and if the dried product turned out to be dark and unappetizing, who would dare to eat it?

But experimentation is one thing; once Liu JinXue got into the experimental mode, he became like a man possessed, it seemed he wouldn’t allow himself to live if he didn’t figure out the method in one go. Otherwise, why would even the reticent and honest Old Xing not stand by and go to Boss Yan to ’report the offense’?

Yan Fei let Liu JinXue continue struggling and attempting to take notes after thinking for a while.

But when he had switched off the drying machine and was preparing to load it with fresh Agaricus bisporus again, Yan Fei intervened, "Senior brother Liu, it’s time to rest!"

"Don’t rush!" Liu JinXue didn’t even look back. "This is the last time, it will definitely work. Look at these, they are almost fine. I’m just going to try again..."

Without answering back, Yan Fei walked up from behind and embraced Senior brother Liu around the waist, lifting him off his feet and out of the workspace.

If soft methods don’t work, one has to try hard ones. Not just with experimentation, but almost anything in general — sometimes you feel you’re on the verge of success, just missing a tiny bit. Try as you might, it just doesn’t work and before you know it, time has slipped by. For the stubborn ones, they will either keep going until they succeed or they will exhaust themselves to death.

Liu JinXue, being a grown man, was now carried off by Yan Fei, listening to the sniggering of the workers around him. He was both agitated and angry, flailing his arms and legs randomly, shouting and bellowing. But it was of no use against Yan Fei; Liu’s strength was nothing to Boss Yan, no more troublesome than pinching a small ant.

Treating it as if he heard nothing, Yan Fei carried him to his room, flung the door open, tossed him in, and then locked the door from outside, "I’ll send some food through your window later, eat and sleep right after. You’re not to think about coming out today, we’ll talk tomorrow. Don’t curse at me, I can’t hear you. I have to leave on a trip shortly, and I’ll call someone to unlock this door for you tomorrow."

After instructing the chef briefly, Boss Yan left promptly.

He didn’t just leave, but he also drove off in the farm’s large truck. Anyway, the farm now had two small trucks, and the big one was mainly used for transporting cattle, which wasn’t much in demand. He left without a word, and no one bothered to ask what he was doing.

Carrying Old Ou’s driver’s license, he raced through the tolls, paying dutifully along the way, and only arriving in the Provincial City by dinner time. Parking the truck on the North Ring Road, he boarded a bus to find his wife.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan was delighted, "Isn’t it a busy time at the farm? How come you’re here again?"

"Can anything be more important than you?" Yan Fei, upon seeing his wife, immediately went from being a decisive boss to a cheeky hoodlum. "Have you been busy with your courses lately? If not, I will take you on a trip by car. You know, I did well on the test this time, I’m thinking of giving myself a few days off."

At the mention of the exams, even though she had already learned of his results through the phone, Miss Xu Xiaoyan was truly delighted from the bottom of her heart, "Yes, keep it up, maintain this rate of progress, and you’ll definitely have no problem with the college entrance examination next year."
