Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

The local environment nurtures the local bacteria.

There are many fungi similar to the brown-gray button mushroom, which are very rare in China, but are quite common in Europe.

For a long time, the brown-gray button mushroom was used as an edible fungus by Europeans.

It wasn't until 2001 that medical scientists gradually discovered that many patients with rhabdomyolysis shared a common behavior.

That is, people who used to consume large quantities or frequently the brown-gray button mushroom.

Subsequently, European food safety agencies and national health departments began issuing risk warnings, listing it as a wild mushroom that should not be eaten.

However, even so.

Eating habits formed by people over time are not so easy to eradicate.

Moreover, toxicological studies on the brown-gray mushroom have only begun in recent years.

Ordinary people don't pay attention to these academic reports and are unaware of their toxicity.

While governments around the world have successively listed it on their risk lists as not recommended for consumption, they have never issued a ban.

Therefore, many people who are not well-informed or simply do not care about their health still retain their old eating habits.

Yang Lin paved the way with money, generously throwing it all away.

Many bounty hunters in Europe were happy to find mushrooms for him.

Over the course of several days, Yang Lin received a number of items that he had not encountered in Nanzhao.

Place the mushroom in your palm, activate your ability, and devour it.

It integrates into its own mycelium.

From then on, Yang Lin had mastered the vast majority of the existing and recorded Tricholomataceae fungi on Earth.

"Indeed, the more types of fungi I know, the more powerful my analytical abilities become."

The moment Yang Lin successfully mastered the last type of European mushroom, he had a sudden realization.

He vaguely sensed that his analytical abilities had undergone a qualitative change.

It has been upgraded from the previous section level to the project level.

Now, in addition to being able to devour fungi of the Tricholomataceae family, he can also analyze other fungi of the Agaricales order.

To verify the new analytical capabilities, Yang Lin quickly went to the nearest shopping mall, specifically the edible fungi section.

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), bamboo fungus (Phallus spp.), enoki mushroom (Flammulina velutipes), straw mushroom (Flammulina velutipes)...

A wide variety of edible fungi commonly found on dining tables are displayed on the shelves of the mall.

Yang Lin had naturally encountered and eaten many of these mushrooms when he was in Nanzhao.

However, these fungi came from different families and genera, and at that time, he was not able to use his abilities on them.

It can only be consumed directly.

Now, everything is different.

……

"It's done!"

It took Yang Lin about a day to successfully devour the oyster mushroom and gain the ability to create oyster mushroom mycelium.

Compared to when it first devoured the shiitake mushroom, this speed is noticeably slower.

However, Yang Lin didn't care.

After all, it's a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

Mushrooms in the order Agaricales encompass more than twenty family-level classifications.

The sheer variety of products on the store shelves alone would be enough for Yang Lin to devour for a while.

Once these readily available fungi have finished consuming the bacteria, his analysis speed will increase to another level.

By then, there will be no need to worry about the variety of mushrooms.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Lin has mastered the creative abilities of oyster mushrooms and bamboo fungus.

The employees' holidays have ended, and everyone has gradually reunited.

They also brought back various local specialties, including wild mushrooms that are mainly distributed in Europe.

Although these items cannot pass through customs or be brought back to Nanzhao, and the fungi brought back by the employees are not all fungi of the Agaricales order, but some have other purposes.

However, Yang Lin accepted all offers without hesitation.

He plans to temporarily rent a cold storage facility here to store these fungi properly. Perhaps one day, after breaking through the order Agaricales, they will still be usable, and he won't need to search for them again.

"Boss, isn't this too extravagant? Renting a special space to preserve these mycelia is not cost-effective."

"You think everyone is like you, so petty and calculating?"

"You don't understand the world of the rich. Renting a venue only costs a few dollars..."

Upon hearing Yang Lin's plans, the employees couldn't help but gossip and complain in private.

This trip to Europe has certainly broadened their horizons.

A single mushroom can fetch millions; those rich people truly don't value money.

It was as if they lived in a different world.

In comparison, the cost of my boss's hobby is relatively low.

After properly processing the various European mushrooms, Yang Lin and his company employees boarded the returning passenger plane.

After returning to Nanzhao, Yang Lin rested briefly and adjusted to the time difference before leading his men to Qingshan Village.

It has been almost two months since Yang Lin sold the mushroom sticks he produced to the village cooperative.

Judging by the time, it should be the day the village expects to harvest mushrooms.

The air around the mountain village is filled with the fragrance of mushrooms.

"Oh dear, it's General Manager Yang back..."

When Yang Lin came down to inspect the village, the village chief and a group of villagers hurriedly put down what they were doing and greeted him with smiles, their faces full of the joy of a bountiful harvest.

There is no doubt that the mushroom strains Yang Lin sold them were not only cheap.

The quality is beyond question.

The first batch of strains delivered has reached the harvesting conditions.

After taking measurements on-site, the villagers discovered that the mushroom harvest in the forest was as high as 5,000 catties per mu.

I estimate that one mu (unit of land area) can sell for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

It's equivalent to the income from twenty acres of crops.

How could the villagers not be happy?

Therefore, the people of Qingshan Village treated Yang Lin with much more respect than before.

Especially after Yang Lin moved away from the village to live in the county town, the villagers missed him even more.

"Village chief, these shiitake mushrooms will soon be ready for large-scale harvesting. I wonder if the cooperative has found other sales channels? If not, I can purchase them at the market price."

"That's great, then we'll have to trouble you, Mr. Yang. This is the first time the village has done this. The villagers only go to the farmers' market, so they can't sell so many mushrooms."

Faced with Yang Lin's offer to acquire the property, the village chief and villagers readily agreed.

After all, large-scale wholesale and retail markets are different. Yang Lin, who has distribution channels in the two major trading markets of Nanzhao and overseas export channels, offers a purchase price that is a few cents higher than that offered by small wholesalers nearby.

They had no reason not to sell to Yang Lin.

A few days later, the understory mushroom cultivation in Qingshan Village yielded a bumper harvest.

The county leaders attached great importance to this matter and commended the relevant poverty alleviation cadres, cooperatives, and Yang Lin's company.

They were awarded an honorary title, and the decision was made to build a two-lane, two-way industrial road for Qingshan Village, directly connecting the county town and the forest farm.

Su Rong, who had been worried about the bacteria strain and had been unable to sleep for several nights, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the poverty alleviation topic and opportunity, Yang Lin spent a lot of money to buy trending topics and traffic, and hired many video creators to promote the company's bacteria.

The previously unknown Xianglong Biotechnology Company suddenly became a hot topic across the country.

People are talking about it everywhere online.

The company's orders have seen an explosive growth.

……

"Notify all managers to hold a meeting."

"Firstly, the company will establish an overseas trade department, with Li Lei temporarily serving as the overseas head..."

"Secondly, in order to seize the opportunities brought by Qingshan Village, the company plans to rent all the vacant land in the development zone to build production lines and expand production capacity."

"In addition to the existing shiitake and button mushrooms, we will also produce edible fungi strains such as oyster mushrooms, bamboo fungus, and enoki mushrooms."

The moment he said that, everyone in the room was shocked.

"That's too sudden, adding so many varieties all at once."
