Chapter 1474: Sudden Visit ( 1 )

Hearing her mother’s question, Dong Huang replied, "Mother, Xiao Huang is waiting for Father and Brother to come back. But I was too hungry, so I drank some soy milk."

Rubbing her daughter’s head, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Mother is also hungry. Let’s find something to cushion our stomachs first."

Dong Huang nodded, then hesitated and asked, "Mother, if we eat first, will we be too full to eat with Father and Brother?"

"Don’t worry, we will only eat a little."

Hearing this, Dong Huang nodded and said, "Mother, Xiao Huang wants a steamed bun."

"Okay."

Meanwhile, Li Chenmo and Dong Li were checking the fertilizers when Jiang Zemin arrived with a group of men.

Seeing them approach, Li Chenmo asked, "Brother Jiang, what brings you here today? Do you need more fertilizer?"

Jiang Zemin smiled and replied, "Brother Li, sorry to interrupt your work. These comrades are staff from the capital. They have come to visit you."

Li Chenmo nodded at them and asked, "May I know the purpose of your visit?" freewebnoveℓ.com

One of the men smiled and said, "Comrade Li, we received a report from the brigade regarding your composting method and greenhouse setup. We are here to learn more about both."

Hearing this, Li Chenmo raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Seeing his reaction, one of the staff stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Li, do you still have any compost left? And would it be possible for us to visit your greenhouse?"

Li Chenmo thought for a moment before replying, "Comrade, it’s not impossible for you to visit my family’s greenhouse. But as for the compost, we have already donated all of it to the production team. So, there is none left at home."

The staff already knew about the donation but came anyway, hoping for a chance that Li Chenmo still had some left.

The data submitted by An Xuyuan had shown that Li Chenmo’s compost significantly improved soil quality over time. When used alongside manure-based fertilizers, crop yields improved even further.

After the report was discussed in a meeting, many leaders were eager to replicate the results.

However, while they now had the method, preparing compost still took at least a month. That’s why some officials sent their subordinates to visit Li Chenmo directly, hoping to acquire some ready-made compost.

Now that they knew there was none, the staff’s expressions visibly darkened. It would be hard to explain to their supervisor if they returned empty-handed.

Ignoring their reactions, Li Chenmo said, "Comrades, I still have work to finish. If you’d like to visit the greenhouse, you will have to wait a little while."

Jiang Zemin nodded and said, "That’s fine, Brother Li. We came unannounced, so we will wait."

"Alright."

Shaking his head, Jiang Zemin replied, "No, I’m just surprised that your family not only raised so many pigs, but also raised them so well."

Hearing this, Li Chenze laughed and said, "Well, that’s to be expected. These pigs eat better than we do and they are treated like royalty."

Jiang Zemin looked toward the feeding area and noticed corn, soybeans, wheat, and vegetables being used as pig feed. Suddenly, everything made sense.

If they ate this well, no wonder they grew so large. Even he would gain weight eating like that. Not wanting to get in the way, he finally said, "Comrade, I will wait outside."

"Alright."

After Jiang Zemin left, a flicker passed through Li Chenze’s eyes. Thankfully, they had used the cooked feed today. If anyone had seen their secret pig feed that contained ingredients that couldn’t be sourced from the mountains, it would be hard for them to explain it.

Thirty minutes later, they finished their work. After washing the dirt off their hands and feet, they left the pig pen and returned home.

Li Chenmo walked across the bamboo bridge, followed by his son, Jiang Zemin, and the staff from the capital. When they arrived at his house, they saw the large gate and the courtyard house beyond it.

Noticing their gazes, Jiang Zemin pretended to be clueless, deliberately avoiding their questioning looks.

After opening the gate, Li Chenmo said, "Please, come in, everyone."

Just as he put down the buckets, Dong Huang bolted out of the kitchen and ran toward him. Seeing her dash over so fast, Li Chenmo said, "Xiao Huang, don’t run so fast. Be careful of falling."
