“Can we light a fire inside?”

Li Xiangyang immediately replied: "Of course, we have a new kang that was just built last year. It's very big. Come on, let me take you to have a look."

They went as soon as they said they would. Several people put on their cotton-padded jackets, took the keys and went to the small southern room in the row of the brigade headquarters.

There are three large rooms connected together, and there is a small one next to it.

It was exactly as Li Xiangyang had described. There was a big kang in each room, and except for the mats, it had everything.

There was a quilt and a pillow in the small room next to it, which was the room where Shen Qingchen slept when he came to the team.

Because his team had an urgent mission last time and he had to go back overnight, he didn't have time to put away the quilt and other things on the kang.

As the group visited Li Xiangyang, they introduced: "This house was used to entertain leaders in the past. In the past two years, leaders have rarely come to inspect, so this place is empty.

If it's suitable, I'll let your elder brother modify this place for temporary use, and we can wait until next spring to build the mushroom shed."

Shen Lingling looked at the leaky windows on the south side and said:

"Actually, there's not much need for modification. It's fine as long as the kang can be used for heating. And this window needs to be sealed, otherwise it will be too cold, which is not conducive to the growth of mushrooms."

Before Li Xiangyang could speak, Li Zhenguo immediately agreed:

"Okay, Xiao Shen, don't worry. There are still some glass at home that the second brother brought back from the factory. I will bring people to install it this afternoon."

Shen Lingling shook her head: "It may not be enough to just install glass. It would be better to use oil paper to nail the outside, and then hang thick straw curtains. The same should be done at the door, and the roof..."

Li Zhenguo immediately took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote down in detail all the precautions that Shen Lingling had mentioned, fearing that there would be any mistakes or omissions.

But Li Xiangyang dragged the rest of the people to continue the tour:

"The stove over here is used for burning fire. When the time comes, we will control the temperature in this room, and then set up a camp bed. We will have people work in shifts 24 hours a day to watch over the fire and make sure it doesn't go out."

Lu Wensheng nodded: "There are quite a lot of things here."

He walked around a few more times and returned to the office only after Shen Lingling had finished explaining all the precautions.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her eagerly, Shen Lingling simply introduced the mushroom species she had just read in the book to everyone:

"What we can grow now are oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and the like, and the ones that sell well here are oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are more expensive and their sales are definitely not as wide as oyster mushrooms.

Compared to mushrooms, oyster mushrooms are much cheaper. If you grit your teeth, almost every household can afford them.

Moreover, as the most common type of mushroom here, Oyster mushroom has a short growth cycle, high yield, and tastes pretty good. Most importantly, it is not so demanding on the environment.

Although shiitake mushrooms are delicious and nutritious, they grow slowly and have a relatively low yield. They are more expensive than oyster mushrooms, but they are more difficult to grow.

Since this is our first time growing mushrooms, my suggestion is to grow oyster mushrooms first. If it works well, we can slowly add shiitake and enoki mushrooms next year.”

Li Xiangyang thought about it and felt that Shen Lingling's consideration was right, so he nodded and agreed:

"It is true that shiitake mushrooms are expensive, but most people here can't afford them. But oyster mushrooms are different. They are cheap and can be grown in large quantities. We don't have to worry about not being able to grow them, nor do we have to worry about not being able to sell them and leaving us with nothing."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Shen Lingling nodded.

"Growing mushrooms is also relatively simple. The most important thing is the ingredients and the source of the fungus. I looked at it and found that we have all these things here.

The only thing left is the fungus strains. If our team decides to grow them, Shengsheng and I will go and buy the strains.”

Li Xiangyang didn't even need to discuss it with the other two people, he just agreed:

"Okay, that's settled. I'll hold a meeting for the villagers after lunch."

Seeing that they agreed, Shen Lingling turned to look at Lu Wensheng, wanting to ask her when would be the appropriate time to take out the fungus cultures.

After receiving the gazes from his sisters, Lu Wensheng spoke directly:

"Then let's go to the county tomorrow. It's going to snow soon, so we'd better get the fungus strains back as soon as possible."

Li Xiangyang was still thinking about how to talk to these two children, but he didn't expect that they would bring up the idea before he could think of a solution. He was very touched at the moment:

"Okay, I'll let your big brother go with you. It's not safe for you two little girls to go into the city."

Lu Wensheng waved his hands quickly: "Don't bother me, brother. There are still so many preparations to be done at home. Isn't it a waste of labor if you let me go out?"

Pointing at Chen Cheng who had been silent, he said, "Just let Uncle go out with us, so that he doesn't have to stay in the village with nothing to do every day."

Li Xiangyang thought about it and felt that Xiaolu's words were more thoughtful:

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. When I'm done with this, I'll invite you to my house for dinner!"

"good!"

———————————————

Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

So the world where only Chen Cheng is injured has been achieved, right?

Chen Cheng was concentrating on peeling chestnuts for Lu Wensheng. When he heard Shengsheng mention his name, he quickly responded:

"Okay, I'll go with you two tomorrow."

"good!"

Lu Wensheng smiled and replied, she knew that her uncle would not refuse her, even though he had no idea what he was doing.
