Chapter 520: Growing Sheep Mushrooms and Flower Mushrooms
Zhou Xing was a grown-up girl who had never experienced such a scene before. She shook her head like a rattle and whispered, "Guoguo, I, I don't need it."
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? You are not afraid of the Hu people, so why are you afraid of speaking in front of them?"
Zhou Xing was stunned, and stepped forward decisively. Yes, she even dared to kill the Hu people.
Zhou Guo introduced them: "This is my sister, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family."
Everyone was very considerate and shouted in unison: "Hello, Miss!"
Next, Zhou Guo introduced them to everyone in the family, including Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi who had not returned yet, and the half-crazy and half-mentally ill Xu.
After the family members were introduced, Zhou Guo spoke.
"I will build you a house at the foot of the mountain. You can ask Wu Jiang for rice, flour, grain and oil on weekdays. He is your manager for the time being. Since you want to work, I will not keep idle people here. Everyone, young or old, will have work to do. If someone comes to you to ask what you are doing on weekdays, don't tell the truth. Remember to report to Wu Jiang, and then Wu Jiang will bring you to me. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, don't come here."
A woman raised her hand cautiously.
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The woman said, "Master, Master, don't you need someone to cook, wash clothes, and clean the house? My daughter is nine years old. Although she is young, she can do everything. Let her stay with you and be a maid, Master?"
Zhou Guo turned his eyes to look at her side, and saw her daughter was thin and small. When she looked at her, she looked like a frightened deer, and immediately lowered her head and shook her head, saying, "I don't need a maid. We can do these jobs ourselves. You go and do what you should do. Don't come here unless we call you."
"Yes." The woman was a little disappointed.
……
About thirty or forty people built a dozen thatched houses, and with the help of villagers, it was almost completed in eight or nine days.
A circle was built around the two mountains at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Guo simply bought the piece of land at the foot of the mountain. It was enough for them to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens on a daily basis.
At this time, except for the beans, the land was idle.
Zhou Guo stays in the mountains all day and never comes out. Heidadan has not been seen since his family bought the mountain. If you don’t know, you would think it grew up in the mountains since it was a child.
She followed Wu Jiang and the others for the first half of the morning, recording data in a blank notebook she made herself, doing it herself.
In the second half of the afternoon, I went to Hu Zi to guide him in the fermentation of the manure pile.
In order to prevent the method of making compost from being leaked, she divided the work into more than 30 steps from top to bottom. The most critical things were in her own hands, and she assigned one person to each step.
Although everyone worked as instructed, they didn't know why they were doing so or what the meaning of doing so was. They could only do what the boss said and work very seriously.
Zhou Guo nodded secretly. Although he was not very smart, he did a good job.
This position does not need someone who is too smart, as being too smart can do harm.
After being busy for a few days, she called Zhou Gu as well. Zhou Gu couldn't stay at home and also wanted to come.
As soon as he arrived, Li Wang and Li Lai followed him.
Only Zhou Xing, Xu, Li and the old man were left at home.
The old man grows vegetables and flowers at home, drinks tea, and talks to the elderly in the village when he has nothing to do. He gets bored after a long time.
He also came to the mountain. He had only seen it once since he bought the mountain. He had not been there since Wu Jiang and others entered the mountain. He wanted to see what this girl was doing that made such a big fuss.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but once you do, you'll be shocked.
He pointed at the tunnels that had been dug and covered with all kinds of strange things and asked, "What are you going to plant here?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, do you still remember the roots of the goat mushrooms I dug up in spring? Those are the fungus species!"
The old man looked at the black stripes all over the mountain in disbelief, "You want to grow sheep mushrooms?? Can this be grown?"
Zhou Guo said: "I don't know. Anyway, none of the ones I planted last year have grown this year. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I still have a lot of dried goat mushrooms, which can also be used as mushroom seeds. I'll try year after year, and one year it will grow."
Coincidentally, Wu Jiang and others came up the mountain carrying dead wood. They greeted the two men respectfully and went up the mountain to carry the wood to another mountain.
They came in rows and rows.
The old man narrowed his eyes, pointed at the wood on their shoulders and said, "What about this? What is this used for?"
Zhou Guo smiled, "Master, you said that I can't use these two big mountains to grow goat mushrooms. If they can grow them in one or two years, it's fine. If they can't grow them in ten or eight years, then it's a waste. It's just spending money without any income. Isn't that eating up all the money? So, I asked them to go into the mountains to find dead wood that the small flower mushrooms love, saw them back, put them in the mountains, drill some holes in them, and stuff the fungus seeds in. Then the small flower mushrooms will grow."
After that, he instructed the old man, "Master, I told you not to tell anyone. I didn't even tell my mother, and you are the first one to know. You see, my eldest brother is busy and happy every day, and he doesn't even know what he is doing."
The old man looked at Zhou Gu standing beside him, and seeing that he was smiling and full of energy, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you hiding this from him? This isn't some secret that can't be told."
Zhou Guo said: "I am not completely sure that these things can be made and grown. If I tell them now, and it doesn't work later, wouldn't it make them happy for nothing?"
The old man turned around and looked at her when he heard this. "You told me, aren't you afraid that I will be happy for nothing?"
Zhou Guo chuckled, "You couldn't help asking me this yourself, didn't you? Besides, who are you, Master? You've been through all kinds of ups and downs, so I don't think you'll take this to heart. There's a saying that goes, 'You can remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses, and you can remain calm even when things get tough.' This is what Master says about people like you."
The old man opened his mouth, wanted to say something, then closed it again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go up and take a look."
"Okay." Zhou Guo pointed, "Master, go this way."
The two came to the southeast side of the hill.
"Master, look, this mountain faces north and south, and the river flows underneath. Although the trees on the mountain are not as tall as century-old trees, and there are not many trees that can be used as lumber, it is generally much better than the mountain in front. There are tall trees, and they can provide shade, and it is wide, so it is the best place to grow small flower mushrooms."
The old man saw many pieces of wood lying on the ground, which were obviously carried from the mountains during this period. However, he looked at Zhou Guo and asked a key question, "How to grow the small flower mushroom? What to use as seeds?"
