Chapter 103 Harvesting Mushrooms
In this era, it is more popular for men to take charge of the outside and women to take charge of the house. The housework at home is usually done by the women of the family.
For example, in Zhou Ziwen’s house, my mother and two sisters do all the work. Oh, and Zhou Xiaomei also has to work. Zhou Ziwen’s clothes are basically washed by Zhou Xiaomei. .
Now that we are in the countryside, Chen Qiaoyi, the unmarried daughter-in-law, is doing the housework such as washing clothes.
As for cooking and washing dishes, Chen Shiying is doing it.
It can be said that whether it was before or after going to the countryside, Zhou Ziwen did not do much to clean up the housework.
His fate can be said to be quite good.
But he is not a person who just eats and doesn’t work.
Whether it is chopping wood and carrying water, or reclaiming the yard to build a chicken coop, including learning how to grow mushrooms to make a living, or going up to the mountains to hunt and pick wild vegetables and fruits, etc., he is doing all these things.
He and the Chen sisters really did it.
Although they are not a family, they are better than one.
No, in front of outsiders, Chen Shiying was very considerate to Zhou Ziwen, not even letting him wash the dishes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chaoyang was a little envious.
Although he and Shen Zhaodi also work together, apart from cooking, they do all the rest of the work together.
And because he is a man, his work is heavier.
The key is that he still managed to reason with such an arrangement.
Who told him not to cook!
If he didn't partner up with Shen Zhaodi, he would probably have trouble eating.
......
After the lunch break, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi continued to process the culture medium materials.
Zhou Ziwen came to his mushroom house and began to harvest the first batch of mature mushrooms.
Because the first batch of mushrooms was only one square meter, and I ate some one after another, there is not much left now.
After collecting the mushrooms, Zhou Ziwen roughly estimated that they should weigh about twelve or thirteen kilograms. Including what he had eaten earlier, this square meter should weigh about sixteen or seventeen kilograms.
This is considered a good cultivation. Under normal circumstances, one square meter can harvest fifteen to twenty kilograms.
However, at that time, his mushroom cultivation skills were still a bit low. I believe that if he cultivates it again, he can grow at least eighteen kilograms per square meter, or even twenty kilograms.
The picked mushrooms cannot be stored for long. Zhou Ziwen also made arrangements for the whereabouts of these mushrooms.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang can give two catties, Master Chen can give two catties, Uncle Wu can give two catties, and Uncle Liang will also give two catties.
Aunt Li often changes vegetables to them, and you can also give them some for them to try.
Through this calculation, ten kilograms are gone, and the remaining two kilograms are kept for yourself.
With his appetite, he eats freely, and eating a pound in one meal is not a problem.
Two pounds of mushrooms is enough for two meals.
Originally, he wanted to give some to the other giants in the production team, but he thought that with the captain's temperament, he would definitely not accept it. After thinking about it, he decided not to give it away.
As for Zhu Youde and Wang Hongbing, they may accept them, or they may not.
However, Zhou Ziwen didn’t have much friendship with them, so it was a bit inappropriate to rush to their door to give gifts.
Everyone is still working at this moment, and Zhou Ziwen plans to send them off together later.
After finishing his own business, he went out to check on the work of the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi.
As the leader of the mushroom team, he has his responsibilities and does not need to do the work himself.
His duty is to lead the team to cultivate qualified mushrooms.
If you do it yourself, you can certainly get more praise, but for him, these praises are just the icing on the cake, without much benefit or effect.
It is his job to lead everyone to cultivate mushrooms.
If training fails, all his efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, his mushroom cultivation skill is already at level three, and will be at level four in a few days. By the time the first batch of mushrooms in the mushroom group are cultivated, their skills will be at level five, and there is no possibility of overturning.
When the time comes, just by growing mushrooms, he will have an unshakable position in the village.
In the yard, the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang were busy processing materials.
Zhou Ziwen looked at it and found that there was nothing to guide him.
The preliminary work is very simple. They only need to break the materials into pieces. There are no complicated skills at all.
The most difficult part is the mixing of various materials. The mixing ratio will directly affect the effect of the culture medium.
Zhou Ziwen was not prepared to hide these experiences. Once he came, he would only teach people close to him.
Secondly, others don’t have an idle panel like him, and are improving their proficiency every moment.
Even if Zhou Ziwen teaches seriously and they study seriously, it will take at least one or two years to fully master it and learn it well.
After one or two years, his skills are probably at their maximum level.
At that time, it is not certain whether he will grow mushrooms or not.
After all, his skills have improved so quickly, and he may already be working on a new project by then.
Zhou Ziwen never thought about growing mushrooms all the time.
He has an AFK panel, and he can AFK as long as he has skills.
He also has a big heart. Although he came to the countryside to become an educated youth, he never thought that he would accomplish nothing.
When you come to this world, you have to leave something behind.
The country is currently in a difficult period, and in a few years it will be a period of rapid development.
Even if he lives in the countryside, he still wants to start a career.
Although at this time, you can't be too pushy.
But it’s okay to have a little limelight.
After all, a good person cannot hide himself no matter how hard he tries, and he doesn’t want to hide it either.
Planting mushrooms is just the first step. He has to think carefully about whether he can bring the village, or even surrounding villages, to prosperity.
In this era, the countryside is really too miserable and too poor.
He doesn't have any great ambitions, and his personality is somewhat happy-go-lucky, but that doesn't mean he can't do things.
Do good deeds and do practical things. If conditions permit, you can still do it.
If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.
The words of the ancients still make sense.
“Brother Ziwen, are we just doing this these days?”
Seeing Zhou Ziwen come out, Chen Qiaoyi came over to talk to him.
“Yes, once these are done, we can make a culture medium.”
“We still need to disinfect and cultivate the bacteria later.”
“Waiting for these It’s almost done, and the mushroom house over there is probably finished.”
Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to tell the next arrangements.
"Haha, this job is so easy. I was almost exhausted during this time in the grain drying field."
Zhou Chaoyang said happily on the side.
"Then you have to thank Brother Ziwen properly. If it weren't for him, you would still be working hard right now!" Chen Qiaoyi said.
"That's for sure. From now on, Brother Zhou will be my reborn parent. If he asks me to go west, I will never go east." Zhou Chaoyang patted his chest and said with a smile.
Although I am joking, my gratitude is real.
