Du Yue listened carefully and then asked, “If I’m not mistaken, your work with Xia Ju is mutually beneficial!”

“No!” He Xing shook his head repeatedly. Du Yue smiled and saw that he did not say anything. She muttered in her heart. ‘He Xing is building a cultivation base, and Xia Ju is solving the problem of the insects in the soil so that they can successfully plant the new seeds! These two people aren’t convinced of each other, but they’re working hard for the same goal. Both of them have to do their jobs well so that the planting could proceed smoothly. If they had a good relationship, this matter would’ve been a failure.’

Although He Xing refused to admit it, he definitely understood this truth in his heart.

Du Yue did not dwell on this topic. “By the way, look for Captain Zuo when you have time. Ask him to help us find a few people and some materials to build a mushroom house when he’s not busy! We’ll pay for it.”

“Alright, I’ll send him a message in a while.”

With He Xing around, Du Yue naturally did not need to worry about these things.

Taking out her tablet, Du Yue found a video of planting mushrooms. Growing mushrooms was very different from raising chickens. As long as the five chicks were given a clean environment, water, and food, there was basically no need to worry. However, growing mushrooms was different. There were many things that she needed to worry about. Du Yue had never done this before, so she needed to learn more about it.

Du Yue did not want to waste time and energy, nor did she want to waste resources. Since she was going to do it, she had to do it to the best of her ability. Therefore, she had to study hard and wait until she was confident enough to start planting. He Xing briefly told Zuo Mingdong about building a mushroom house in the text message, and the other party agreed readily. However, the materials were not something that could be found easily. It would take at least one or two days. Du Yue was not in a hurry. She could afford to wait.

During the day, Du Yue did not find it unbearable to hear the shrill cries of the chicks. However, when it was time to go to bed, Du Yue truly experienced the magic of the chicks. It was late at night, and everyone was resting, yet these little chicks were so energetic and chirped endlessly. Du Yue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. In the darkness, she could not bear it anymore and said to He Xing, “Why don’t we kill them now before they lay eggs?”

Of course, He Xing knew that Du Yue was just complaining and would not really do it. However, he still cooperated and said, “It’s possible, but they’re too small and don’t have much meat on them. Even if we kill them, it won’t be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. Moreover, we’ll lose money. It’s not worth it.”

Du Yue sighed deeply. She knew that even if He Xing did not say it. However, these little chicks were too annoying! Just as she was feeling annoyed, the cries in the living room suddenly stopped.

Du Yue listened for a while, but she did not hear them cry out again. She nodded in satisfaction. “They’re smart! They know how to avoid danger.” They stopped barking when Du Yue said that she was going to kill them.

“How obedient!” Du Yue could not help but praise. “Let’s give these chicks a name? I plan to call them Big Chicken, Second Chicken, Third Chicken, Fourth Chicken, and Fifth Chicken. What do you think?”

He Xing could not help but laugh out loud. “You’re really a genius at naming.”

Two days later, Zuo Mingdong brought a group of people and arrived as promised. He also brought along wooden and iron planks. The materials were prepared, and the people were in place. Within a few hours, a house for growing mushrooms was built in the small courtyard. Although it was called a house, there was only an iron door and no windows.

As for the thick wood planks, they were used to grow mushrooms. Zuo Mingdong also arranged for his men to help put the planks into the house. Du Yue looked around the house and could not help but sigh. It did not even take half a day for these people to make all the preparations needed to grow mushrooms. The remaining steps could only be done by Du Yue herself. No one else could help. He Xing had already discussed with Zuo Mingdong about the food needed to exchange for materials and the remuneration for these people.

After checking the house, He Xing handed the food that had been prepared to Zuo Mingdong. After Zuo Mingdong brought his men back, he would distribute them.. Before Zuo Mingdong left, he asked Du Yue worriedly, “Can you do it yourself? Why don’t I find an expert in planting to help you?”
