Luo Cheng thought of something and asked, “How’s the matter about planting mushrooms and fungus you mentioned last time? I wonder how your cousin is doing!”

“I’ll go take a look tomorrow! This can indeed be done, but this alone won’t do. It’s too simple. We have to think of other ways,” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Cheng thought of something and asked, “Where are the ducks? Do you think Aunt Hui’s ducks can be advertised?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, her eyes lit up and she immediately laughed.

“Speaking of ducks, their entire body is a treasure! The duck’s fur can be made into clothes that are very warm to wear. The duck’s internal organs can be used to make some special dishes and braised food. For example, the side dishes in wine shop’s can be made from duck skulls, duck necks, duck claws, and duck gizzards. The remaining parts of the duck can be made into roasted duck!”

Luo Cheng laughed when he heard this.

“Since ducks are so useful, nurture it!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, ‘We can’t nurture too many. Let’s nurture some first! After all, if we nurture too many ducks, they will ruin the water quality. We can’t forget to protect Hele Village’s environment just because we want to develop it. When the time comes, let’s take a look at the design of some places before deciding what to do! We can let Aunt Hui and Uncle Guan help us come up with ideas.”

“How could we have forgotten that there’s a very powerful person beside us?!” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and looked at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran had a tacit understanding, so when Luo Cheng heard this, Luo Cheng understood what Li Xiaoran was talking about.

“Are you talking about Guan Kang? He should indeed put his ability to use. I think he’ll probably be willing to contribute his own strength to the construction of his hometown!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “But we still have to clarify this matter with Guan Kang! If he’s unwilling, let’s not force him!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t worry! If he’s unwilling, I won’t force him,” Luo Cheng said with a nod.

Li Xiaoran said happily, “Then it’s decided! Actually, not only can we nurture ducks, but we can also nurture chickens, rabbits, and sheep on the mountain. I

suddenly feel enlightened. I have many ideas in mind!”

“Don’t worry! These ideas of yours can be used. Write them out first and then we’ll discuss them together. It’s definitely impossible to rely on just Hele Village alone. We have to gather the strength of the surrounding villages to do it together. When the time comes, we’ll find someone to see which village is suitable for what and then plan things out. We still have to build several workshops! After we have the workshops, we’ll hire people to work. This can also help the surrounding villagers increase their income!” The more Luo Cheng thought about it, the more excited he became.

“Memorize it. Take advantage of the fact that we have many thoughts in our minds right now to note them all!” Li Xiaoran quickly went to get a pen and paper to record everything the two of them thought of.

When the two of them could think of nothing else, they went to bed.

That night, because they were mentally exhausted, the couple fell asleep as soon as they lay in bed.

Li Xiaoran slept until the sun rose the next morning.

As soon as she woke up, Li Xiaoran realized that Luo Cheng was still lying beside her.

For some reason, seeing that Luo Cheng was still around, Li Xiaoran was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

However, when Li Xiaoran woke up, Luo Cheng also woke up.

When he opened his eyes and saw Li Xiaoran standing up, Luo Cheng said with a smile, “Morning, wifey!”

Li Xiaoran teased with a smile, “Look, the sun is already so high in the sky. We slept in today!”

After Luo Cheng glanced outside, he sat up with a smile and put on his clothes.

“I was wondering why I slept so well. It turns out that I woke up late. I’ve been waking up early to practice martial arts all these years, but today, I didn’t! However, it feels good to sleep until I wake up naturally!”

Li Xiaoran said as she washed her face, “The reason we slept until now is because we overworked our brains yesterday and our bodies spontaneously formed a protective mechanism that forced us to sleep until this time. It’s better not to do this in the future. It’s better to sleep early and wake up early!” After the two of them got up, breakfast was delivered from the kitchen.

Today’s breakfast was soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks. There was also some fresh-made meatloaf.

These were all things Li Xiaoran liked, so Li Xiaoran ate a lot of food in one go.

As Luo Cheng watched Li Xiaoran eat with relish, he ate a lot as well.

After breakfast, they got busy.

There were two things they had to do today. One was to invite He Hui and Guan Dongshan’s family to their house to ask about raising ducks. At the same time, they wanted to ask Guan Kang if he was willing to use his abilities to contribute to the development of Hele Village.

The other thing was to confirm the mushroom planting situation on Zhao Yan’s side.

If Zhao Yan hadn’t planted mushrooms yet, Li Xiaoran would have to teach him how to plant mushrooms.

Therefore, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran decided to split up.

Li Xiaoran went to look for Zhao Yan to see the situation over there and teach him how to plant mushrooms.

Luo Cheng was in charge of inviting the Guan family home to talk about raising ducks and Guan Kangs special ability.

After the matter was settled, Li Xiaoran went out to look for Zhao Yan.

When Li Xiaoran went out, someone naturally had to protect her. Zi Cheng happened to be free today, so Luo Cheng let him follow Li Xiaoran out.

Zhao Yan spent most of his time in the col where the mushrooms were planted, so Li Xiaoran didn’t go to the Zhao family’s house. Instead, she went straight to the col to look for him.

After entering the col, Li Xiaoran shouted. Then, she heard Zhao Yan’s answer.

“Cousin, wait outside for a while. I’ll be out soon! Don’t come in. There are many rats, insects, snakes, and ants in this forest. They might bite you!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she also felt that her cousin was right, so she stood on a big rock outside and waited for Zhao Yan to come out.

While waiting, Li Xiaoran sized up the situation in the col.

Looking at the shed not far away, Li Xiaoran shook her head.

“My cousin is quite tough. There are so many mosquitoes here, but he actually stayed here all night!”

At this moment, Zhao Yan walked out. When he heard his cousin’s words, he said with a smile, “Actually, it’s no big deal.. I lit some grass tonight and smoked it, so the mosquitoes didn’t bite me!”
