Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Although Party Secretary Li said that the profits from the sale of mushrooms produced at the experimental site would be split 40/60 with the farm, with the farm taking 40% and her personally taking 60%, this was still a legitimate and stable source of income!

With the reform and opening up just around the corner, she still has tens of thousands of yuan in her online space that haven't been returned tenfold. It's a good time to make some more money!

She nodded immediately and affirmatively, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, since I can provide this production volume, I can naturally maintain this production volume in the future, with an even greater amount!"

Looking at Su Wanqing's calm and confident eyes, and then at the mushrooms growing in front of him that completely contradicted his decades of knowledge, Shen Monong was momentarily at a loss as to whether to believe her "arrogance" or stick to his own common sense.

He first snorted, then wrote down the record:

"In Su Wanqing's laboratory, the mycelium is in excellent condition, and the estimated yield for the first crop is 300 jin."

Jiang Weiwei, watching from the sidelines, felt both jealous and anxious, and couldn't help but fan the flames:

"Uncle Shen, look at this! Some comrades are getting more and more outrageous. They're willing to do anything to get ahead. If these ridiculous figures are used in national competitions, our 65th Regiment will become a laughing stock across the country! Some people are getting mycelium from some shady channels to pad their numbers. If this isn't stopped, in a few days, they might actually dare to report 800 or 1000 jin!"

Su Wanqing wouldn't let her throw dirty water on her. "Yes, compared to some people who can grow to 250 jin by relying on their powerful backers, it does seem a bit exaggerated that I grew this way on my own. Alas, in this world, sometimes real ability is not as good as being born into the right family or... being protected by officials."

Shen Monong blushed; he did feel somewhat guilty for tacitly approving of Jiang Weiwei's cheating.

He was enraged by their barbed words, especially Su Wanqing's comment about officials protecting each other, which struck a nerve. He glared at Jiang Weiwei, then glanced at Su Wanqing, and said angrily:

"Enough! You two, don't say anything to each other! I'll have someone from the county send you 100 more standard mycelium test tubes each! From today onwards, I'll live in this lab and watch you operate it with my own eyes, watching how these mycelia grow!"

"If, after inoculating these additional 100 mycelia, your final yield doesn't reach the proportionally calculated level predicted today, or if any cheating is discovered, humph! I'd like to see how you explain it! None of you will get a spot at this experimental site!"

He was determined to use the most basic and fairest method of full-process surveillance to ensure that neither of them could hide and that neither of them could try to pull any tricks!

Jiang Weiwei never expected that the old director would disregard even the Jiang family's reputation! She panicked, "Uncle Shen! We've cultivated it to this point, almost ready for harvest, and suddenly 100 more mycelia are added, all at different paces... how do we calculate this?"

Shen Monong snorted coldly: "Both are 100, starting at the same time, perfectly fair! I'll see how many real specimens you can cultivate under the same subsequent conditions! This extra portion will also count towards your overall assessment for this experiment!"

Jiang Weiwei quickly calculated in her mind: even if the extra 100 mycelium bundles did not contribute much to the output due to the late arrival of the mycelium, she was confident that by using the miniature constant temperature equipment provided by the Jiang family, the original mycelium bundles could maintain their advantage, and the final total output would definitely still crush Su Wanqing's!

She refused to believe that Su Wanqing could pull any tricks under Old Master Shen's nose!

This time, the advantage is on my side!

Thinking of this, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and nodded in agreement: "Okay, since Uncle Shen wants to be fair to the end, then of course I have no objection."

Su Wanqing was overjoyed! She was just worried about the excessive yield of oyster mushrooms in her space, which she couldn't fully manage, and this was like a godsend! She could operate right under her nose, or even have someone watching her mushroom bags every day without any problems!

She immediately replied, "Of course I have no problem with that! I've done nothing wrong, and I'd love for you, Mr. Shen, to witness it for me! Even if you came to visit eight times a day, let alone stay here, I'd welcome you!"

Shen Monong glanced at Su Wanqing with some surprise. This girl agreed so readily, her eyes were clear, and she showed no sign of panic. Could it be... that she really relied on her own skills, and not secretly added something to the ingredients?

Liu Shuqing quickly tried to smooth things over, smiling apologetically, "Old Shen, Old Shen! Please calm down. How could we let you actually live in this shabby laboratory? It just so happens that the new brick house and improved housing built by the troupe for the mushroom experiment site were completed today, right across from the educated youth settlement. The environment is much better! Why don't we just move the laboratory there? You can live in the new house there, which is quiet and convenient for you to supervise at any time!"

Dean Shen was in a fit of anger and clashed with Su Wanqing. "Fine! That's settled then, move! I'll live over there! From now on, I'll have control of the keys to these two new labs! Every time you go in to operate something, whether it's watering, ventilating, or recording data, you have to call me. I want to be there to watch!"

He wanted to see for himself whether this Su Wanqing truly had the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous, or was just a clever swindler!

The newly built experimental sites and improved housing are simple red brick houses made of natural materials, with little to no formaldehyde. They can be moved into directly after a quick cleaning.

Liu Shuqing immediately called over several quick-witted villagers, who carefully moved all the mycelium packs, tools, and other items from Su Wanqing and Jiang Weiwei's laboratory to the newly built mushroom experimental site diagonally opposite.

Considering that the planting site needs to supply the surrounding area, it is quite large in scale, with a total of six planting rooms and six supporting improved housing rooms built.

Neat and impressive.

Jiang Weiwei quickly picked out the largest planting room, saying matter-of-factly, "My father also allocated funds for this new experimental site, so it's no problem for me to choose the biggest one, right?" She then said to Liu Shuqing, "Officer Liu, I'm also moving to the improved housing next door. I'm not living in the old room at the educated youth settlement anymore! At night... there's always an earthquake! It's so noisy that I can't sleep at all!"

As she spoke, she gave Su Wanqing a meaningful look, and then glared at her with intense jealousy.

Whenever she stayed at the educated youth settlement, she could clearly hear those blush-inducing noises at night. Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), she could feel the entire bed shaking rhythmically, and each time it would last for most of the night. She wasn't an innocent young girl; listening to those suppressed yet ambiguous sounds could keep her up all night!

That brat Su Wanqing is eating way too well!
