Chapter 225

The two crucian carp brought back from the county made fish soup, and in Huanshan Village under the darkness of night, only the kitchen of Shu Yingtong's family was still busy.

The other two big grass carp took off their heads, put salt on them, put them in pots and hung them in the well, chopped their bodies into pieces, seasoned them and wrapped them in flour fried fish pieces, so that they could be kept for seven or eight days without spoiling.When you want to eat, pick some out and add condiments and side dishes to stir-fry.

"Girl, which shop do you think is good?" Zhu Yu put her chopsticks into the oil pan to test the oil temperature, and saw fine bubbles coming out of the bamboo chopsticks, and started to put fish pieces into the pan.

"You are the shopkeeper, you can make up your own mind." Shu Yingtong replied indifferently.

Hearing her list the shops that she met today, she obviously has something in mind, so there is nothing else to answer.

"I want the one on South Street, right? Is that too unlucky?" Zhu Yu had a troubled face, and the strainer in his hand stirred the fish piece.

When doing business for the first time, you must be thinking about how to make it go smoothly.

It's all good, but someone died, it's too bad luck
"It doesn't matter, you have a hard life, you can calm down." Shu Yingtong replied calmly.

He was very brave when he smashed the skulls of the thugs before, but now he is entangled in the fact that a lot of people died in the yard, which is completely unnecessary.

The fish pieces sizzled in the oil pan, and the aroma wafted in every corner of the kitchen.Zhu Yu stared at the tumbling frying pan for a while, and felt that what she said seemed to make sense.

After frying the fish pieces, the two cleaned up the kitchen and went to their rooms to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yu took the carriage to the county seat again. Shu Yingtong packed the mushroom strains and put them in a small cloth bag, and went out with a mushroom hammer custom-made at the blacksmith's shop.

The villagers around the house went out one after another carrying farm tools, and they were very curious to see her carrying a weird little hammer on the road.

"Girl, what are you holding in your hand? Why is the head hollow?"

"Mushroom hammer, used to drill holes to grow mushrooms."

The villagers were full of surprise. They looked at Gu Hammer and then at Shu Yingtong, "Can you grow mushrooms too?"

The common fungi are picked and made into vegetables while they are fresh, and some can be dried and kept.

Mushrooms are not precious, and they all grow on some kinds of fallen dead trees, but you can't pick up many after running the mountain all morning.

Mushrooms are more fragrant when they are dried than when they are fresh. If you save a lot, you can exchange them for a lot of money at a stall.It's so light that it doesn't weigh the scale, and a catty of dried mushrooms can sell for fifty yuan.

If it can be planted, then there is no need to climb over the mountain, and you can earn a lot of income by planting more!
"Yes." Shu Yingtong took out the fungus from the cloth bag and showed them, "There are hyphae in the wood bran, and when planted in basswood, mushrooms and fungus can grow."

She only gave a general explanation, different strains correspond to different basswood, and the basic planting points.

"Girl, let's grow this and sell it for money! Dried mushrooms are quite expensive." Chunya chased after her with a pick on her shoulders, and looked at her magical cloth bag with a smile.

She only knows that fungi grow after rain in the mountains, and that mushrooms grow on dead wood near water sources, but she doesn't know how they grow.

It doesn't bloom, it doesn't set seeds, it just seems to pop out of nowhere after a night.

Shu Yingtong shook her head, "It's okay to grow mushrooms and eat them yourself, but we won't grow mushrooms on a large scale for profit this year."

Mushrooms are shiitake mushrooms, which have higher requirements for basswood, not all trees can grow.Inoculation of mycelia in spring this year, the yield in the first year is very low, and it will not reach the peak production period until the autumn of the second year.

And it does great damage to the forest.

Good basswood, such as maple, chestnut, tung, and oak, all need more than ten or twenty years to grow into large trees to achieve economic benefits.

If large-scale felling occurs, even replanting saplings will not be able to keep up with the demand.Basswood is not a tree that lasts forever. Basswood that grows over shiitake mushrooms will slowly rot and need to be felled again.

She does not intend to destroy the forest for a small project that is dispensable. Even if she wants to do it, it is not planting shiitake mushrooms from basswood, but growing mushrooms from Juncao is a sustainable development project.

It's just that there are too many things to do this year, and I don't have so much free time to add another one to study Juncao compost and explore planting techniques.

"Ah, I won't do it this year." Chunya felt a little regretful, but she was relieved when she remembered that she still had work in the Camellia oleifera forest.

She had read mother's little book, which was full of arrangements for this spring, and there was not enough hands, so she couldn't chew through too much.

"Let Mrs. Yao inform you in the evening, and go to my field to pick up chili seedlings after breakfast tomorrow." Shu Yingtong separated from them and went to the farm after explaining.

Pepper is an exotic species, and it will take time for the market to accept it, and road construction is still in progress, so there is no plan to let the villagers plant it in large quantities at once.

Peppers mature in summer and autumn. At that time, there is no shortage of vegetables in every vegetable field, and the purpose of growing peppers is only to try new ones and keep them for ourselves.

Only the old man and a few children doing odd jobs were left guarding the farm. Seeing Shu Yingtong coming, he quickly put down his work to meet him.

"What are your orders today, Miss?" Aunt Jinhua patted the loose dirt on her sleeves and greeted her with a smile.

The girl was very busy, and it was not common to come here for two consecutive days. Seeing that she was holding a tool she had never seen before, she couldn't help but take a second look.

"Yesterday, I saw that some of the trees dragged back are useful. Plant some mushrooms and fungus." Shu Yingtong said as he walked towards the place where the wood was piled up, "It's nothing important, you are busy with your own."

Several half-grown boys were chopping branches from thick tree trunks. The wood needed in the village was packed logs. They have been doing this boring work repeatedly recently.

Seeing her coming, he raised his head to say hello, and did not stop working.

Shu Yingtong asked casually, "Where's Xiaoman?"

"Girl, I'm here!" As soon as he asked, the other side answered.

Xiao Man ran over giggling, "You were drying clothes just now, girl, what did you do here today?"

"Choose wood."

Shu Yingtong rolled up his cuffs and dragged a thigh-thick maple tree out, "Bring the saw."

Xiaoman responded crisply, ran back and took out the big saw, and helped lift the tree to the wooden horse stand.

Shu Yingtong named several more tree names and asked them to pick them out.

Basswood that has just been felled cannot be used to grow shiitake mushrooms immediately. It can only be used when the trunk is no longer sprouting until it is half-dried and has small and uniform cracks in the cross section.

During the whole morning, the long trunks that were picked out were sawed into easy-to-move tree sections.

Shu Yingtong drilled a hole with a mushroom hammer, took out the cover piece, Xiaoman looked at it for a while, wondering, and went back to bring water, "Girl, let me try it, you rest for a while."

"Okay." She shook her arm, took the bowl, and watched Xiao Man digging plum blossom holes in the tree section with style.

After drinking the water in the bowl, she tied the cloth bag around her waist, took a hammer and started working again.

I squeezed a pinch of bacteria into the hole, pressed it hard, covered the bark cover and smashed it in with a hammer.

"Girl, why do you need to seal it? You blocked this bacteria so tightly, can the mushrooms still grow?" Xiao Man couldn't understand her operation of sealing the hole tightly.

"It can grow out. Seal the inoculated bacteria, and at the same time prevent the growth of bacteria in this hole."

 Thanks for the light monthly pass!
  Thanks to all babes!
