The third workshop is an area in the mushroom planting base specially used for growing straw mushrooms.
Straw mushroom is an edible fungus with a short growth cycle and high yield, which is very suitable for large-scale cultivation. After a period of careful cultivation, the straw mushrooms in the third workshop have reached harvest time.
Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang came to the third workshop and saw straw mushrooms growing vigorously on the neat rows of mushroom shelves. The straw mushrooms open like small umbrellas, exuding an alluring smell.
“Ziwen, this straw mushroom looks really good.” Wu Dagang looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the straw mushrooms are growing very well this time, and the output should be higher than expected." Zhou Ziwen also smiled.
His mushroom cultivation skill has reached level nine, close to level ten.
In one day, the mushroom cultivation skill will officially reach level ten.
At his level, there is no one who can do it before, if not after.
With his skills, he can definitely establish a sect and recruit many disciples.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen has no interest in doing this kind of thing.
There is nothing wrong with teaching everyone how to grow mushrooms in Dabazi Village and helping the villagers improve their lives.
“Ziwen, you can arrange the harvest!” Wu Dagang said.
Zhou Ziwen is the leader of the mushroom team, so he will not take over the spotlight.
“Okay.”
Zhou Ziwen was not polite and summoned the members of the mushroom team on the spot and assigned them tasks.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Today we are going to harvest the straw mushrooms in the third workshop." Zhou Ziwen's voice echoed in the workshop, and all the team members listened carefully.
“You need to be careful when picking straw mushrooms. Do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the caps.” Zhou Ziwen said while demonstrating the correct picking method. “Look, with a gentle twist like this, the straw mushrooms will Come down.”
The team members observed carefully and then nodded to express their understanding. They were all trained by Zhou Ziwen and are no strangers to picking techniques.
"Okay, let's start grouping now." Zhou Ziwen began to assign tasks, "Zhou Chaoyang, you lead a team to be responsible for the bacterial racks on the east side; Chen Qiaoyi, you lead a team to be responsible for the bacterial racks on the west side; Wu Fu , you lead a team to take charge of the middle..."
"Team leader, don't worry! This is not our first time harvesting, we promise to complete the task."
Several group leaders looked confident.
“Okay, let’s start!”
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
With Zhou Ziwen’s order, the harvesting work officially began.
The team members acted quickly. They shuttled between the mushroom racks and picked mature straw mushrooms skillfully.
The rustling sound of picking could be heard in the workshop, accompanied by the soft communication among the team members, which seemed particularly harmonious. Zhou Ziwen patrolled the workshop and provided guidance and help from time to time.
“Ziwen, look at this straw mushroom growing really well, big and bright in color.” Wu Dagang picked up a straw mushroom and couldn’t help but admire it.
“Yes, Uncle Wu.” Zhou Ziwen nodded, “This is due to everyone’s careful care and your support.”
“Haha, I’m just helping. Run errands and come up with ideas.”
Wu Dagang smiled and waved, “The real credit lies with those of you working on the front lines.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned their attention back to the harvesting work.
As time went by, baskets of straw mushrooms were picked and placed neatly aside.
“Everyone has worked hard, let’s take a rest.” Seeing that the work had been going on for a while, Zhou Ziwen asked everyone to take a break.
The team members put down their tools one after another, sat around, drank water, wiped sweat, and enjoyed a short rest.
“Ziwen, how many kilograms of mushrooms do you think we can harvest this time?”
During the break, Wu Dagang asked expectantly.
"It's almost the same as the previous batch! There's always 40,000 jins." Zhou Ziwen answered without thinking.
These mushrooms were grown under his leadership.
He knew exactly how many pounds it weighed.
It is said to be 40,000 kilograms, but actually it is on the low side.
Wu Dagang's eyes lit up when he heard this number: "Forty thousand kilograms! That's a lot. This will increase the village's income a lot."
"Yes, countless , We have made so much money this year, we have to kill a few more pigs during the Chinese New Year!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Haha, of course, I have already thought about it. Except for the pigs that have to be handed in this year, we will keep the rest and share the meat with everyone during the New Year."
Wu Dagang is generous One wave, very bold.
When Wu Dagang mentioned that pork would be divided during the Chinese New Year, the surrounding mushroom team members were immediately attracted by the news.
They gathered around Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen, with excited and excited smiles on their faces.
"Secretary Wu, is it true? Can we get pork for the Chinese New Year this year?" a team member asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true. The mushrooms we grew this year have made money. Everyone has worked hard for a year, so naturally they should be rewarded." Wu Dagang replied with a smile.
He looked at the excited expressions of the mushroom team members and felt very happy.
This proves that his efforts were not in vain.
“That’s great! The children will be so happy to have meat to eat during the Chinese New Year!” a group member who is already a mother said excitedly.
At this moment she had begun to imagine the smiles on the faces of the children at home.
"Yes, this is really good news. I must work hard, grow more mushrooms, and share more meat during the Chinese New Year." Another team member also said.
“Thanks to the team leader, if he hadn’t led us to grow mushrooms, our life would not be so good.” A team member looked at Zhou Ziwen with emotion, his eyes full of gratitude.
Zhou Ziwen was infected by the excitement of the villagers, "No need to thank me, this is what we should do. As long as we unite as one, Dabazi Village will have a better tomorrow."
"Yes, Ziwen That's right! Our Dabazi Village will definitely get better and better," Wu Dagang also echoed, his voice revealing firmness and heroism.
The news quickly spread among the crowd, and the entire workshop was filled with laughter and laughter.
After the break, everyone got back into the intense harvesting work.
While busy with the work at hand, the villagers excitedly discussed plans for the New Year.
"My family is going to make braised pork and make dumplings. Now that we have meat, we must have a good New Year." A team member has already started planning the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner.
“My son likes sweet and sour pork ribs the most, and I can let him eat as much as he wants this time.” Another team member also said happily.
Zhou Ziwen was extremely pleased when he saw everyone's excitement.
The villagers' request is actually very simple, nothing more than eating a few more bites of meat.
With a mushroom cultivation base, he believes that this requirement is not difficult.
The harvesting work went smoothly amid laughter and laughter.
As baskets of straw mushrooms are picked, the number of straw mushrooms in the workshop gradually decreases, while the straw mushrooms piled aside form a hill.
"Attention, everyone, please handle the straw mushrooms with care after picking. We are ready to pack them."
Zhou Ziwen reminded everyone to ensure that every step is taken with care to ensure that the straw mushrooms are quality.
The team members followed Zhou Ziwen’s instructions and started the packing work.
They carefully put the straw mushrooms into baskets, with straw between each layer of straw mushrooms to prevent damage during transportation. (End of this chapter)
