The process of making sweet potato starch is actually quite troublesome.
It needs to go through multiple processes such as washing, crushing, grinding, and filtration.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen is not in a hurry, just take his time.
After washing the sweet potatoes, Zhou Ziwen began to peel them. The peeled skin was not wasted. He collected it and sent it to the chicken pen at the back.
His chickens will eat everything, including sweet potato skins.
After being busy for a while, seeing that it was almost time to finish work, he went out to the mushroom room.
As soon as he arrived at the mushroom house, Zhou Ziwen saw the captain and Wu Dagang, Zhu Youde and Wang Hongbing.
Hey guys, all four giants in the village are here.
"Leaders, why are you here?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
He is not afraid that they will find out about his fishing. After all, these leaders know exactly how he works in the mushroom house.
He believed that as long as he cultivated the mushrooms well, no one would care whether he fished or not.
"You have so much leisure time, boy, even more leisure time than us old guys." Wu Dagang glared at him angrily.
Originally, he thought this guy was quite honest, but he never expected that his true colors would show up in just a few months.
If this kid hadn’t cultivated the mushrooms and cultivated them so well, he would have had to talk about it.
"Hey." Zhou Ziwen touched the back of his head and did not answer.
"Hey, you kid." Wu Dagang pointed at him and cursed with a smile.
"Xiao Zhou, let's come over and take a look at the mushrooms." The captain said.
"Well, we have already contacted the county. We will prepare four thousand kilograms tomorrow and the rest will take two days." Zhu Youde said.
In fact, he was also helpless. Who would have thought that the mushrooms grown by Zhou Ziwen exceeded their expectations. The previous contact channels could not eat so many at one time.
But this is also the trouble of happiness. Next, they have to continue to contact and sell the remaining mushrooms.
With this batch of mushrooms, they can have a good year this year.
"Okay, we will start harvesting tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen nodded hurriedly.
Harvesting mushrooms is very simple and does not take much time. The main thing is that packaging is a little more complicated.
But after they pick them off, the village will send them out immediately, so there is no need to bother.
"Well, after this batch of mushrooms is harvested, the village is going to build two more mushroom houses. Are you busy enough?" The captain patted his shoulder with satisfaction.
With just this batch of mushrooms, they have already seen the future.
Several leading cadres in the village discussed it and decided to continue to expand the size of the mushroom house.
After all, the cost of growing mushrooms is too low. Apart from the necessary manpower, there is not much cost at all.
Once the planting is successful, it will be a real benefit.
"No problem, it's just that it was a little busy at the beginning. After the germination period, with the help of the team members, it won't be a big problem." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Expanding the size of the mushroom house will not have a big impact on him. Even because the mushroom house is larger, it will also be of great benefit to him.
By then, the village will value him more, and his treatment in the village will get better and better.
He will stay in the country for several years. Although it takes a little skill, the benefits are real.
Although this benefit is not material, his life in the village will be easier in the future.
Just like now, I basically don’t have to work for a day, I just need to control the growth progress of the mushrooms.
If he hadn't developed the skills to grow mushrooms, he would have had to work every day as before. That kind of life was not what he wanted.
"That's good. I'll make arrangements for the expansion of the mushroom house. You just need to cooperate." The captain patted Zhou Ziwen heavily on the shoulder.
If it weren't for Zhou Ziwen's extraordinary physical fitness, he would really not be able to stand this.
After discussing the details with Zhou Ziwen, several village cadres left.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen announced that work was over. Amidst the cheers of everyone, he and the Chen sisters left together. The team members went home happily with the mushrooms distributed to them.
"How to eat these mushrooms?" On the way back, Chen Shiying was a little worried.
Their family received a lot of mushrooms, including Zhou Ziwen’s, which weighed almost four kilograms.
"Saute a little, make some soup, and have a mushroom feast today." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
To be honest, he is quite confident in the mushrooms he grew.
The fifth-level mushroom cultivation skill not only allows him to grow big and good mushrooms, but also has very good nutrition and taste.
"Hehe, let's go home and eat mushrooms."
Chen Qiaoyi on the side happily hugged her sister's arm.
These mushrooms are all the work of Brother Ziwen.
Looking at the attitude of the captain and others towards Zhou Ziwen today, this girl felt proud in her heart.
How difficult it is to go to the countryside to be an educated youth, just look at the people in the Educated Youth Institute.
But because of Zhou Ziwen, they did not suffer much when they came to the countryside.
Even after they came to the countryside, their living conditions were better than in the city.
When we were in the city, it was considered good if we could eat meat once or twice a month, but in the countryside, their meat was basically never cut off.
And all of this is Zhou Ziwen’s contribution.
All the way home, Zhou Ziwen was about to continue making his sweet potato starch, when Chen Yang and Liu Lingling came over together.
This kind of behavior is actually impolite, because this is the time when everyone is cooking.
If you came to your door at this time, it would be very suspicious that you are here to get a meal.
However, neither Chen Yang nor Liu Lingling was in the mood to take advantage of the situation.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, Zhou Ziwen still didn't know the quota and was almost done with it.
Chen Yang and Liu Lingling are here to canvass votes.
Seeing that Zhou Ziwen still didn't know what was going on, Chen Yang hurriedly explained.
Lingling Liu on the side was not to be outdone and was also explaining.
These two people have made things clear and do not give each other face at all.
“So, you are here to canvass for votes?” Zhou Ziwen looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
"Yes, Brother Ziwen, the situation is like this now. The village has only given one place to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University. The village will let us discuss who this place will be given to." Chen Yang spread his hands and looked at Zhou Ziwen with a frank look. .
He knew that Zhou Ziwen was a smart man, and there was no use playing tricks on him, so he might as well speak honestly.
"That's it!" Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment, and then said: "Since you have come here, let me tell you what I think!"
"From a relationship perspective , I must choose Brother Chen, Comrade Liu Lingling, I’m sorry, Brother Chen has bought fish from me many times, I really can’t shirk this.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded to Chen Yang. , and then helplessly spread his hands to Liu Lingling.
In fact, Liu Lingling also knew that her relationship with Zhou Ziwen was not very good, but in order to get a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University, she had no choice but to come.
“Thank you, brother Ziwen.” Upon hearing this, Chen Yang hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, but let's say it first. My vote is just my personal opinion. I don't know what other people think." Zhou Ziwen reminded.
"Huh?" Chen Yang was stunned, and then his face was filled with a smile again, "It should be, it should be."
"Yes, we are here to find you." Although Liu Lingling was a little dissatisfied, she soon became full of hope.
If Zhou Ziwen only represented his own opinion, then this matter would have something to say.
As both women, she has the confidence to win over the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi. (End of this chapter)
