After a whole morning of hard work, all the straw mushrooms in the third workshop were finally picked.
The straw mushrooms in the third workshop have finally been picked. Zhou Ziwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone did a good job. It's almost noon. Let's clean up and finish work early. We will work on the rest in the afternoon." Zhou Ziwen said to everyone.
“Long live the team leader.”
“Yeah, it’s time to get off work.”
...
As soon as Zhou Ziwen said this, the members of the mushroom team immediately cheered.
"Uncle Wu, we can arrange for someone to deliver the mushrooms in the afternoon."
Turns his head, Zhou Ziwen said to Wu Dagang.
“Okay, I’ll call someone over after dinner.”
Wu Dagang nodded and said.
Now that the mushrooms are all picked, he also wants to transport them as soon as possible.
The midday sun shines through the windows of the third workshop and onto the smiling faces.
Zhou Ziwen and his team members tidied up a little and prepared to finish their work in the morning.
"Uncle Wu, you should go back quickly. You have been busy all afternoon." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Then I'll come back in the afternoon." Wu Dagang said with a smile.
Having harvested so many mushrooms today, he never stopped smiling today.
"Sister, what are we having for lunch today?" Chen Qiaoyi asked expectantly on the way home.
"How about eating fish? I haven't finished yesterday's fish yet." Chen Shiying asked.
Now my sister is the focus of attention in the family.
Whatever she wants to eat, Chen Shiying and Zhou Ziwen will try their best to satisfy her.
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, yesterday's fish was delicious. I want to eat it again."
"Okay, let's eat it today. Just keep eating fish." Chen Shiying smiled and touched her sister's head.
“It’s not easy to eat fish. I’ll go fishing tomorrow when I have free time.”
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Ziwen, don't bother. There are still a lot of fish at home! And you will get tired of eating fish every day."
Chen Qiaoyi said hurriedly.
"Okay! I'll go to the county town tomorrow and buy some pork to eat!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded, thinking that his family hadn't eaten pork for a long time, and decided to improve the taste.
During this period, the family ate game every day, and he was a little tired of it.
Moreover, he was also planning to take the herbs he had dug back to the county town to see if he could sell them at a good price.
“Okay, okay, pork is good, I want to eat fish-flavored shredded pork!” Chen Qiaoyi clapped her hands in agreement.
Chen Shiying also smiled and nodded: "I haven't bought pork at home for a while, so I might as well buy some."
"Okay, then I'll buy it tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
I still have some meat tickets at home, so buying some pork won’t be a problem.
However, Zhou Ziwen decided to go to the black market to count the tickets when he had time.
You can get some like candy stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, etc.
While they were talking, they had already returned home.
After arriving home, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying started preparing lunch.
He heated up the leftover fish from yesterday and fried a few fresh vegetables. A simple but delicious lunch was quickly prepared.
After lunch, the three of them took a short rest and then began their afternoon work.
By the time they arrived at the mushroom planting base, almost all the team members had arrived.
Wu Dagang also brought some villagers over to deliver mushrooms.
The arrival of the villagers made the mushroom cultivation base lively. The villagers brought baskets and carts, ready to load and transport the picked straw mushrooms.
"Everyone, be careful not to crush the mushrooms." Wu Dagang commanded from the side, for fear that some villagers would be careless and damage the mushrooms.
The members of the mushroom team worked together with the village members to pack the straw mushrooms in baskets and then put the baskets on the carts.
“Zhou Zhiqing, is the mushroom harvest this time good again?” a villager asked expectantly.
Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile: "Of course, this batch of mushrooms is quite a lot. It will definitely be a bumper harvest. When Accountant Zhu calculates the weight, everyone will know how many kilograms there are."
Listen When Zhou Ziwen said this, the villagers became more motivated.
In their eyes, these mushrooms are money!
With the joint efforts of everyone, the straw mushrooms were quickly loaded onto the truck.
Wu Dagang took someone to check it over, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he was ready to set off.
“Ziwen, I will go with them, do you want to come with me?”
Before leaving, Wu Dagang asked.
"Uncle Wu, I won't go, as long as you go." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
He estimated that if he went to the commune, he would have to communicate with the leaders for a while.
For him, it would be better to stay at home than to communicate with those commune leaders.
"Haha, I knew you would say that." Wu Dagang pointed at Zhou Ziwen.
“Hey!”
Zhou Ziwen didn't say anything, just giggled twice.
When the members of the production team left with the carts, Zhou Ziwen had finished his work.
He said hello to the two sisters, and then went home leisurely.
As for the weight of today’s batch of mushrooms, Zhu Youde is still counting, and the results will not be available until tomorrow.
In fact, he knew exactly how many kilograms this batch of mushrooms weighed. The data compiled by Zhu Youde was actually shown to Wu Dagang and the team leader.
Back home, Zhou Ziwen came to the kitchen next door.
The kitchen here has been used by him as a warehouse for storing medicinal materials.
He was going to sort out the herbs he had dug up earlier.
Then take it to the county town tomorrow to see how the market is.
In the warehouse, herbs are neatly stacked on shelves.
These herbs were all dug up in the mountains.
Some are dug while hunting, and some are dug specifically in the mountains.
Zhou Ziwen picked up some herbs and selected them carefully.
“These astragalus look pretty good, with thick and long roots and yellow and translucent skin. They should fetch a good price.” Zhou Ziwen looked at the astragalus in his hand and estimated in his mind.
He looked at other herbs, such as angelica, white peony root, Chuanxiong, etc., which are all common Chinese medicinal materials.
But compared with the medicinal materials in the drugstore, his medicinal materials are of higher quality and more effective.
And they are all wild herbs, so selling them at a good price is not a problem.
After a little tidying up, Zhou Ziwen sorted out a large bag of herbs.
After finishing these, it’s almost time to get off work.
Zhou Ziwen took out a previously marinated pheasant and prepared to make chicken soup.
He took out a previously marinated pheasant from the cellar, cleaned it, put it into the pot, and then added some ginger slices and green onions to remove the fishy smell.
After a while of busy work, the aroma of chicken soup gradually filled the kitchen.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi returned home and were attracted by the fragrance as soon as they entered the door.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you stewing? Chicken soup? It smells so good!" Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Yes, it's chicken soup. Your nose is really good." Zhou Ziwen smiled and scratched her nose.
"Hehe, I'm very powerful."
Chen Qiaoyi turned up her nose. (End of this chapter)
