CHAPTER 1114: CHAPTER 1110: A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST TOGETHER

Chen Yang, unlike Wu Kexin, had been dealing with wild mushrooms for so long that he was naturally very familiar and collected them as fast as the aunts.

"Chen Yang, Sister Kexin, slow down, you guys! You’re too fast for me to keep up..." Annie originally had a good mindset, but slowly, seeing herself fall behind Chen Yang and Wu Kexin, she couldn’t help but speak up.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin turned around and looked at Annie, realizing she had fallen three to four meters behind them.

Seeing Annie’s aggrieved expression, it was genuinely quite amusing.

"Alright, we’ll wait for you. Hurry up now."

Chen Yang said, standing there.

"Okay, give me a moment, I’ll catch up soon!"

Seeing Chen Yang and Wu Kexin stop to rest, Annie wasted no time and started picking quickly with her head down.

Watching Annie, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin couldn’t help but laugh.

After standing for about five or six minutes, Annie barely caught up with Chen Yang and Wu Kexin’s progress.

"Can we start now?"

Chen Yang asked Annie who had just caught up.

"Not yet, you two have rested for so long, I haven’t even rested. Let me rest for a bit, then we can start fairly," Annie said.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin laughed again.

Seeing how close they were to finishing this section, what’s the point of starting fairly?

It would take only two or three more minutes to finish.

But despite everything, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin fondly agreed to Annie’s request.

After all, who could resist this girl’s cuteness?

After waiting a few more minutes, the three of them continued to pick wild mushrooms.

After about four minutes, Chen Yang was the first to finish collecting, followed by Wu Kexin and Annie.

After completing one stretch, Chen Yang didn’t plan to rest but intended to take Wu Kexin and Annie to help in the other temperature-controlled rooms.

As soon as they walked out of the temperature-controlled room, they saw a convoy of trucks slowly driving into the village from afar.

Seeing the empty trucks, Chen Yang knew this must be Wang Hong and the others coming to collect the wild mushrooms.

So he didn’t rush to help in the temperature-controlled room but stood outside waiting.

The convoy entered the village and stopped at the entrance.

Then they saw Wang Qingyue, dressed strikingly, being the first to jump off the truck and walking towards the temperature-controlled room.

"Qingyue, over here."

"Sister Qingyue, we’re here!"

Seeing Wang Qingyue get off the truck, Annie and Wu Kexin immediately waved and smiled at her.

Wang Qingyue saw them and quickly walked over.

"Kexin! Annie, you’re here too!" Wang Qingyue was quite surprised to see Wu Kexin and Annie; she initially thought only Chen Yang would be there.

"Yeah, there’s a big harvest of wild mushrooms today, and since manpower was lacking, I came over to help Chen Yang!" Wu Kexin said with a smile.

"Me too! Sister Qingyue, let me tell you, we have an especially large amount of wild mushrooms today; you’ll have to help out later too!" Annie added from the side.

Wang Qingyue laughed heartily, "Of course, I wore something simple today, planning to help out."

Wang Qingyue wore casual knee-length shorts today.

The top was simple and cool, exuding a sporty vibe.

"Qingyue, why didn’t your brother come?" At this point, Chen Yang noticed that Wang Hong wasn’t in the following group and asked Wang Qingyue.

Wang Qingyue nodded and said, "My brother is still working on sales channels. Like you, he wants to scale up the wild mushroom business, so he has a lot of work every day."

"I see, it’s really hard on him."

Chen Yang said.

"Oh, it’s not all that hard, just meetings and tea drinking; much easier than picking mushrooms." Wang Qingyue waved her hand.

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, not saying much more.

After a brief chat, they started working with Wang Qingyue.

The ten temperature-controlled rooms produced a lot of wild mushrooms.

Chen Yang didn’t estimate the exact weight, as he was already too busy to weigh them.

So he left the weighing to Wang Hong.

After all, he trusts Wang Hong not to cheat on the weight.

With that, Chen Yang led the three women in diligently helping to pick mushrooms all morning.

From nine in the morning to a few minutes past twelve, they were finally done.

They loaded all the wild mushrooms onto the trucks and transported them to the county town.

Watching the truck convoy depart, Chen Yang felt a huge sense of relief.

The three women let out a long sigh, glad they were finally finished.

Initially, they were quite enthusiastic, but as things wore on, it became overwhelming and exhausting.

But fortunately, they finished without dropping the ball.

"How are you guys, tired?" Chen Yang asked, seeing the three women sweating profusely, smiling.

The three women had sweat a lot, their faces were flushed, looking somewhat worn out.

"Tired, too tired, I want to go back and rest," Annie replied immediately.

Soon after, Wu Kexin and Wang Qingyue nodded in agreement, indicating they were very tired.

Chen Yang smiled, "Then let’s go back. Take a nice rest at noon, I’ll make a good meal to reward you, how’s that sound?"

Seeing how hard the three women worked, Chen Yang naturally wanted to treat them to something nice.

"Great! We must enjoy it well, otherwise it wouldn’t justify the sweat we shed today!" Annie responded eagerly.

"Alright, I promise you’ll be satisfied this afternoon."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile and then led the three women back to the clinic.

Back at the clinic, after washing off the dirt, the three women pulled up chairs and went to the backyard to rest.

Chen Yang tidied up a bit and went to the backyard to ask the three women what they’d like for lunch.

Wu Kexin was the first to answer, "Medicinal cuisine!"

"Medicinal cuisine? Sure, no problem."

Chen Yang thought for a bit; he still had herbs at home, so making medicinal cuisine wasn’t an issue.

"Hmm... I suddenly want to eat crayfish!" Annie pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Crayfish? That’s a bit tricky!"

"I don’t care, you promised to reward us well! You can’t go back on your word!" Hearing Chen Yang’s hesitation, Annie quickly insisted he couldn’t backtrack.

Chen Yang chuckled and finally agreed.

"Alright, alright, no backing out, I’ll make crayfish for you this afternoon!"

"Hehe, great! I can’t wait to taste your cooking!" Annie beamed, her dimples charming.

Chen Yang shook his head and then asked Wang Qingyue, "Qingyue, what would you like to eat? Everyone can choose one dish."

Wang Qingyue, since Chen Yang asked Wu Kexin, had been seriously thinking about what she wanted to eat.

But she couldn’t come up with anything.

After pondering for a long time, she tentatively asked, "That snake meat from last time... do we still have any?"

Upon hearing snake meat, Chen Yang was a bit taken aback and then couldn’t help but laugh wryly.

Snake meat, last time it was the meat of a spirit snake!

It’s something hard to come by, not something you can just have!
