Chapter 100: A bumper harvest in space

The village chief's eyebrows twitched on hearing this.

There had been a lot of gossip about Gu Chen in the village recently. Some said that Gu Chen had made a lot of money selling vegetables.

Others said that Gu Chen had gone to the city and done something dishonest.

The most outrageous thing was that he had been accused of human trafficking.

There were always rumours about him.

If it was just a few people talking about him, the village chief thought he could understand.

But everyone, all the time, only talking about him – this was the first time it had happened in the village.

He had now become the talk of the town.

But from the writing, the village chief felt that he was different from what everyone was saying.

How could someone who could write such words be the kind of person everyone was talking about?

Rogue and high-minded were too different.

The village chief couldn't help but become interested in Gu Chen.

What kind of person was he?

After a while, he turned to Lao Wangtou and said, 'Well, tell him for me that I'll thank him in person some other time after I'm done with my current commitments.'

He was now simply too curious about this young man who had been the talk of the village.

After successfully burying his mother, he was determined to go and find out what kind of person he really was.

What other secrets did he have?

Hearing this, Lao Wangtou couldn't contain his excitement. No sooner had he returned home and washed his face than he was ready to tell Gu Chen the good news.

He felt that this was a good thing.

It was a matter of honour!

Gu Chen nodded indifferently, 'Okay, I got it.'

Seeing him so calm, Lao Wangtou was curious. He leaned forward, puzzled, and said, 'Kid, the village chief came to thank you in person, and this is your attitude?'

This kid, why aren't you excited?

This is such an honour.

Gu Chen didn't think much of the words and shrugged.

'Isn't that attitude pretty good?'

The village chief just said that, he didn't say when, maybe it was just a polite thing to say?

Besides, even if the village chief came, he couldn't get an extra acre of land for himself, so what's there to get excited about.

Come on, let's just entertain him properly, if he doesn't come, then forget it.

Isn't it better to just let things take their course?

Wang Laotou was at his wit's end. He gave Gu Chen a reproachful look.

This kid!

Giving someone else is a good thing that you can't ask for.

But when it comes to him, why is he still so unresponsive?

He sighed and said crossly, 'I'm telling you, when he comes, you should treat him well. The village chief knows a lot of people in the city, so in the future, whether you're selling vegetables or something else, he can help!'

After all, he is the child you raised yourself, so naturally you want to say more, and you hope that he will get better and better!

Gu Chen also knew that Uncle Wang meant well.

He nodded with a smile and dragged out the end of his sentence, saying, 'I know, Uncle Wang.'

In fact, he didn't really have high hopes for the village chief's help.

He was just a vegetable seller himself, so could the village chief get up early to help him stand at the stall, or could he bring him lunch at noon?

Gu Chen seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and he narrowed his eyes.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Wang Laotou yawned and reminded him:

'I'm going back to bed, I haven't slept all night and I'm exhausted. You weigh up the situation yourself, you're not a three-year-old.'

Gu Chen nodded seriously, smiling wryly.

'Thank you, Uncle Wang, you really are the best!'

If the village chief really came, it might be a good thing.

Wang Laotou smiled helplessly, 'You're just being sarcastic.'

When they arrived at the public toilet, Gu Chen didn't go in directly, but walked towards the woods behind it.

The woods were full of trees and were already hidden, and since everyone was still at home in the early morning, no one would come here at all.

Once in the woods, Gu Chen decisively flashed into the space.

It was really a shock to see.

The wolfberries had already been piled higher than the wolfberry tree!

The entire space was filled with them for the most part!

It was a sea of red.

Gu Chen was afraid that some of the goji berries might have gone bad, so he quickly reached down to the bottom of the pile and grabbed a handful to check.

The goji berries in his hand had changed from red to dark red.

However, they were still plump and full, and there was no sign of rot.

Gu Chen was still not convinced, so he dropped one into his mouth and chewed it.

The taste was sweet, and it was obviously ripe.

Fortunately, it hadn't gone bad, and it seemed that the Ling field also had a preservation function, which was really good!

He let out a sigh of relief.

He then walked a few steps to the side.

The matsutake mushrooms planted on New Year's Eve had grown thick and strong, with plump tops and stems as thick as two fingers. Judging from their appearance, if he sold them himself, he could definitely get twice the market price.

And they wouldn't be ready to sell until tomorrow at the earliest, and by then they would have grown even better and bigger, and naturally sell for more!

Even the ginseng next to it, although it has grown quite a bit since he bought it, is not growing that much bigger.

But Gu Chen is not in a hurry.

He hopes that the ginseng will grow a bit bigger, after all, every day it grows is another day it can be sold for more money.

And this kind of thing, it's all about years and years, the longer it takes, the higher the price.

Even if the time in the space is fast, it will still take at least half a month.

By then, he estimates that his cordyceps will have already grown well.

Gu Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Earn money steadily by working hard!

He watered the plants as usual and then gave them a little care.

Then he left the space.

When he got home, his mother, Shen Cuizhi, was already busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Ji Pianran was also helping out.

Tangtang and his two older brothers were sitting in the courtyard feeding the rabbits.

Gu Chen greeted Tang Tang and his two nephews briefly, and saw that the three young kids were enthusiastically feeding the rabbits grass.

He then got up and went to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw the large cockerel that Shen Cuizhi had killed in the morning hanging from the beam.

The chicken's claws were facing upwards, and its head was facing downwards.

The pair of vacant, round eyes made Gu Chen feel a little scared.

In the countryside, whatever food there is in the house is hung on the beams.

One is afraid of mice ruining things, and the other is to save space.

Many people do this in their homes.

If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have really banged my head on it.

He said in surprise, 'Oh, you even killed the rooster today, preparing to eat the meat?'

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran silently looked over at him.

The expression on her face more or less conveyed a sense of concern.

She spoke indifferently.

'This chicken was killed by Mum early in the morning so that we can take it home and eat it.'

When Gu Chen went out, Shen Cuizhi was just plucking feathers in the kitchen, so the two of them never met at all, let alone knowing that Mum had actually killed the only rooster in the house for her.
