For the next half day, Zhou Ziwen stayed in the mushroom room.
The materials for preparing the nutrient solution are all ready-made, but one of them is not available. Zhou Ziwen asked someone to go to the village to find it.
He actually knows several formulas that can speed up the growth of mushrooms. He chose the one he is making now because the materials are easier to find.
The mushroom house has a special mixing room. Zhou Ziwen closed the door and stayed alone in the room, not letting outsiders in.
Masters are accustomed to leaving something to their apprentices, and he is the same. Even if this recipe is to be passed down in the future, he must choose a reliable person.
Although he doesn't value this formula very much, he doesn't want to trust others.
As it was approaching noon, the nutrient solution was successfully prepared.
This time he prepared two types of nutrient solutions, one to speed up growth and the other to increase mushroom production.
With these two nutrient solutions, the production time of mushrooms will be reduced by at least five to seven days in the future. Don’t underestimate these few days.
After all, the growth cycle of mushrooms is not long, only about a month if faster.
Shortening the time means that more mushrooms can be cultivated in the same time.
After one year, at least one more batch of mushrooms can be cultivated.
This extra batch is all money!
Besides, there is another nutrient solution to increase production. This nutrient solution can increase the yield of mushrooms by 8%.
In the future, one hundred pounds of mushrooms can be turned into one hundred and eight pounds.
If the water flows slowly, these two nutrient solutions can add a lot of income to Dabazi Village.
However, the buyers Wu Dagang and the others contacted can only digest 30,000 kilograms of mushrooms a month. It is not certain whether the extra mushrooms can be sold.
But this is none of his business. He is only responsible for growing the mushrooms. As for selling the mushrooms, that is a matter for several leaders of the production team.
It is estimated that if they knew this, several leaders of the production team would also be troubled.
But this is the trouble of happiness. I guess they would like to have more troubles like this!
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Ziwen also packed up his things and came out of the configuration room.
The next thing is to arrange for the people below to do it.
However, only the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang can enter this configured room.
This can be considered a little selfishness on his part.
This special treatment is, firstly, to help them establish prestige in the mushroom group, and secondly, to prevent the formula from being leaked.
Even though he doesn't care much about the formula, he still needs to be on guard against it.
Just like those chefs teaching their apprentices how to cook, the apprentices cannot even look at the key points.
The master will not teach unless the master's requirements are met.
Although this approach is a bit old-fashioned, it can even be called a bad habit.
Many valuable technologies are lost in this way.
But this practice is very common in this era.
There is some truth to this approach of being an apprentice for three years and serving for two years.
After the announcement that the work was about to begin rang outside, the people in the mushroom house cheered and happily packed up and left for work.
Zhou Ziwen has an easy-going personality and does not have many requirements in the mushroom group. Except for being more serious when asking them to complete their jobs, everyone is like friends at other times.
He doesn’t care much about chatting, joking or anything like that.
When it comes to work, you need to be in a good mood to be efficient.
Go home and have a meal at noon. The dishes at noon today are quite rich, including stir-fried liver and kidneys, bear tripe with pickled peppers, and bear blood with pickled vegetables.
With the help of Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters tasted a delicious meal again.
After taking a lunch break at home, when he woke up from the kang, the Chen sisters had already gone to work.
On the other side, the team leader and Wu Dagang were driving an ox cart back from the commune. Today they both went to the commune, one was about Zhou Ziwen hunting a bear.
This can be regarded as protecting the safety of the village and removing hidden dangers for the village in advance.
After all, ferocious beasts like bears can hurt people. If the danger is eliminated in advance, the commune will also give some rewards.
Of course this reward is not much.
The captain and Wu Dagang went out together. After working in the commune for a long time, they finally got a reward of ten yuan and a radio ticket.
This ticket was specially requested by Wu Dagang based on Zhou Ziwen's needs.
He knew that Zhou Ziwen was not short of money, so he thought of this.
Otherwise, the money you have to pay will be more than ten yuan.
Of course, going to the commune to report the news was just a side trip. Their other purpose was actually to go to the meeting.
This meeting is mainly about the planting of food and the reclamation of land after the beginning of spring.
The commune requested that every effort should be made to reclaim more land and maintain the diversity of crops.
Enriching food types and growing crops with higher value are the themes of today’s meeting.
To this end, the commune also prepared a lot of seeds for them, such as wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts, etc.
Some of these seeds are new crops that can increase crop yields.
Of course, these seeds will not be given to them in vain. If they want to exchange them, they must come up with money of corresponding value.
In addition, the commune leaders also announced good news, that is, the villagers’ breeding restrictions.
The superiors asked them to come back to encourage everyone and let the villagers raise chickens, ducks, and even pigs.
However, there is a condition for raising pigs, that is, the first pig needs to be sold to the state.
After selling it, you will get a ‘Pig Killing Certificate’.
With this certificate, next time you raise pigs, you can kill them yourself.
If there is no pig killing certificate, the pig cannot be killed.
Of course, if your family is wealthy, you can just raise two, sell one to the state, and kill the other to eat yourself.
If you can’t afford to raise one and can only raise one, you can also raise it with other people. In this case, during the Chinese New Year, two families can share a pig and have a fat year.
In short, this news is very good for the villagers.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang and was in a daze for a while. He called Tayun and Xiao Doan up and set off from home.
Soon, he came to the village clinic.
The health room is very quiet during this period. In the past few days, there have only been two people who accidentally injured their hands.
Their wounds were so small that they didn’t even need sutures.
Zhu Jianguo disinfected them, then wrapped them with gauze and the treatment was done.
After staying in the clinic for a while and answering a few questions from Zhu Jianguo, Zhou Ziwen left the clinic and took Tayun and Xiao Doian to the escort team.
Now that spring has begun, the escort team is also busy. When he arrived, several members of the escort team were resting.
Usually, the escort team has two classes, one class is responsible for the day shift, and the other class is responsible for the night shift.
"Xiao Zhou, you are finally here. If you don't come again, these little guys will hardly recognize you."
Liu Si happened to be in the room, and when he saw Zhou Ziwen, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I haven't been here for only two days." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
He has been a little busy these two days, but he forgot to come over to train a few little things. (End of this chapter)
