"Very good. With your participation, this year's spring plowing will be smoother." Zhou Ziwen praised.
The members of the Mushroom Group are all of the same age, have good physical strength, and work neatly. They are the best labor force.
"Go find the captain yourself! Let him arrange tasks for you."
After selecting the people who are willing to go to spring plowing, Zhou Ziwen said.
People in this era are very hard-working and rarely lazy.
Our slogan is that labor is the most glorious.
The people in the Mushroom Group are all carefully selected by Wu Dagang, and their characters are trustworthy.
"Yes, team leader." The team members agreed in unison.
"Okay, then you go! Others, continue to stay at the base to cultivate mushrooms." Zhou Ziwen continued to make arrangements.
"Yes, team leader." The remaining team members also agreed.
After nearly half of the team members left, Zhou Ziwen began to assign tasks to the remaining team members.
Because of the winter, the temperature is too low and is not suitable for growing mushrooms.
Spring has begun now, and the temperature is slowly warming up. Mushrooms in the mushroom production base can also be cultivated in large quantities.
Next, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying stayed together and arranged for the remaining team members to cultivate mushrooms in their respective workshops.
The steps to cultivate mushrooms are not difficult, but you can’t go wrong in every step.
First, prepare the substrate for growing mushrooms.
The material of the mushroom substrate is very simple, which is some agricultural waste such as wheat straw and corn cobs.
After crushing, these waste materials are a good substrate for mushroom growth.
The crushed matrix must be thoroughly stirred to ensure that the various ingredients are evenly mixed.
Then, the substrate is sterilized.
This step is crucial because if there are pathogens or pests in the substrate, it will seriously affect the growth of the mushrooms.
They use high-temperature steam sterilization method, put the substrate into a special container, pass in high-temperature steam, and maintain a certain time and temperature to kill possible harmful organisms.
After the disinfection is completed, vaccination will be carried out.
The vaccination process is also very important.
It is necessary to ensure that every substrate can contact the bacteria, so as to ensure the fruiting rate of the mushrooms.
Once inoculated, you can start cultivating mushrooms.
Zhou Ziwen’s mushroom cultivation skills have reached the maximum level.
Being proficient in the cultivation process, every step can be accurately controlled.
Under his arrangement, the team members began to get busy in an orderly manner.
After a long day of work, it’s time to finish work at noon.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying were accompanied by Tang Yaoyao, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.
The group went home after work, talking and laughing.
They live close by and can go home at noon.
For those who work far away, they either have to have their meals delivered or they have to bring their own dry food, which is still very hard.
Back home, Tayun, Tiny Dot, Marshmallow, Zhui Feng, and the kitten Xiaoying all came over in a swarm.
The small courtyard is more lively than the zoo.
Under his training, both cats and dogs became ferocious.
Needless to say, the eaglet is a bird of prey, naturally ferocious.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen has trained them well. These guys are very smart and will not have conflicts.
That is, Zhou Ziwen, if it were another family, let alone the issue of whether they could afford to raise him, at least they would not dare to raise him like him.
After playing with them for a while, Zhou Ziwen came to the kitchen and cooked with Chen Shiying. Chen Qiaoyi has woken up and is holding little Yueyue now, talking to them at the kitchen door.
“Ziwen, what’s for lunch today?” Chen Shiying asked while washing vegetables.
“Let’s keep things simple for lunch today. Fry shredded potatoes, make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and make pork rib soup. I remember there are some cured pork ribs in the cellar.” Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and then answered .
"Okay, I'll start cooking now." Chen Shiying nodded and started preparing the ingredients.
Zhou Ziwen was responsible for lighting the fire. He skillfully put the firewood into the stove and lit it. After a while, smoke began to rise in the kitchen.
Chen Qiaoyi held little Yueyue and stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the busy figures of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying, with a happy smile on her face.
"Yiyi, you and Yueyue go to the living room to play first. I'll call you when the meal is ready." Zhou Ziwen turned around and said to Chen Qiaoyi.
"Okay, Brother Ziwen." Chen Qiaoyi obediently carried little Yueyue to the living room.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying were busy in the kitchen, and before long, delicious dishes were served on the table.
The potatoes are shredded evenly and fried crispy and delicious; the scrambled eggs with tomatoes are bright in color and have a moderate sweetness and sourness; the pork ribs stewed in soup are fragrant, and the aroma of bacon makes people salivate.
"It's time to eat, Yiyi, come over and eat." Zhou Ziwen shouted to the living room.
“Here we come.” Chen Qiaoyi hugged little Yueyue and walked over quickly.
"Wow, sister, did you cook all the dishes today? They look delicious."
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up as she looked at the dishes on the table.
"Haha, your sister made it, you try it first."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and gave Chen Qiaoyi a chopstick of shredded potatoes.
Chen Qiaoyi took a bite and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile, "Well, it's so delicious, sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
"Haha , eat yours! So many dishes can’t stop your mouth.”
Chen Shiying glanced at her sister angrily.
"Hehe, sister, the food you cook is so delicious, of course I have to praise you more." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Okay, you two, stop complimenting each other and eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold." Zhou Ziwen interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile.
“Yes, yes, eat quickly.” Chen Shiying also smiled and agreed.
The three of them sat around the dining table, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
"Ziwen, are you going to the mushroom base this afternoon?" Chen Shiying asked.
"I won't go in the afternoon." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
He has almost arranged everything at the base. With Chen Shiying watching, there won't be any problems.
"Haha, then you can stay at home!" Chen Shiying nodded, not surprised by this.
After getting along with him for such a long time, she has a very good understanding of Zhou Ziwen's character.
"Well, I'm going to clean up the pool in the backyard this afternoon." Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and then said.
In fact, the pool in the backyard is almost finished.
But we haven’t confirmed whether it is leaking or not, and there is not much water in the pool now. Filling the pool is a big project.
After lunch, Chen Qiaoyi took little Yueyue to take a nap, and Zhou Ziwen also followed, sleeping with his wife and child.
When he woke up, Chen Shiying had already gone to work.
Zhou Ziwen came to the backyard and began to check the condition of the pool.
Yesterday he added some water to the pool, and after a day, there was no leakage in the pool.
Only the soil was loose in a few places, so he used a shovel to compact the soil again to ensure that the edge of the pool was firm.
The next step is to fill the pool with water.
This pool is not very big, but it is not small either. It will take a lot of time to fill it up. (End of this chapter)
