Chapter 470 The Captain and Wu Dagang's Excitement

The team leader was a man of decisive character. When he heard that the mushrooms were ripe, he immediately expressed his desire to go and take a look.

He has been very busy these days because of the spring plowing. Although he knows that the mushrooms in the mushroom house are about to mature, he doesn't know the exact time.

"Xiao Zhou, how many kilograms do you think this batch of mushrooms weighs? Can it be over 30,000 kilograms?"

On the way to the mushroom house, Wu Dagang asked.

He only knew that the mushrooms Zhou Ziwen planted were growing very well, but he had no idea how many kilograms he could harvest.

"I guess it's about 40,000 kilograms?" Zhou Ziwen gave a rough estimate.

"How many?"

The captain raised his voice.

"About 40,000 pounds." Zhou Ziwen looked at the two people who were a little bit unbelieving with amusement.

In fact, this number is normal for Zhou Ziwen.

Generally speaking, fifteen to twenty kilograms of mushrooms can be grown in one square area.

But Zhou Ziwen's mushroom growing skill has reached level seven, and the mushrooms he grows are big and numerous.

Each nest of mushrooms is a circle larger than the mushrooms on the market.

In addition, he made a culture medium specifically to help mushrooms grow.

As soon as this thing came out, the mushrooms started to grow rapidly as if they had been injected with hormones.

According to his estimation, 25 to 26 kilograms of mushrooms can be grown on one square meter.

After the expansion of the mushroom house, the area for growing mushrooms has reached 1,500 square meters.

If you calculate it this way, isn’t it about 40,000 kilograms?

"Ziwen, did you calculate it correctly? Didn't you say it was about 30,000 kilograms?" Wu Dagang asked in surprise.

He remembered that when he expanded the mushroom house, he had originally calculated it based on 30,000 kilograms.

As a result, the harvest now is 10,000 kilograms more.

You know, this is ten thousand pounds, not just one or two pounds.

According to the current market price, a pound of mushrooms costs 20 cents, so 10,000 pounds is 2,000 yuan.

In this era, two thousand yuan is a lot of money. Last year, the average income of the members of their Dabazi Village was only about two hundred yuan.

Based on 365 days, the average daily income is only 50 or 60 cents.

Of course, because of the weather, they hibernate half the time.

By this calculation, the daily income is more than fifty or sixty cents.

Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that this batch of mushrooms now weighs 40,000 kilograms.

Forty thousand kilograms of mushrooms, at 20 cents per kilogram, would be eight thousand yuan.

This is eight thousand yuan!

A full eight thousand!

Just thinking of this number, the captain and Wu Dagang were excited.

Eight thousand yuan is equivalent to one twentieth of the production team’s total annual income.

Their Dabazi production team only had an annual income of about 200,000 yuan.

This is just the first batch this year. You know, the year has just begun. If there is such a high income every month.

That year...

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it...

As they thought about it, the team leader and Wu Dagang actually laughed out loud.

"There are indeed 40,000 kilograms of mushrooms." Zhou Ziwen nodded affirmatively.

This was just his underestimate. The actual weight was probably more than this.

"Good, good, good, Ziwen, good job."

The captain patted Zhou Ziwen's shoulders hard several times.

"Forty thousand pounds, forty thousand pounds, how can it be so much?"

Wu Dagang kept repeating the words "forty thousand kilograms" and the pipe in his hand was shaking.

"Forty thousand kilograms is normal. I made a culture medium earlier that's very helpful for mushroom growth. Plus, I've been busy lately and have done a lot of research on mushroom cultivation, so I've increased the yield a bit."

Zhou Ziwen began to explain.

“Is this just a slight increase in production?”

Wu Dagang and the captain looked at each other and felt that this kid was showing off.

Seeing is believing. In order to see the mushrooms as soon as possible, the team leader and Wu Dagang both quickened their pace.

"Ziwen, if you really grow 40,000 kilograms of mushrooms, you can put the ginseng issue aside for now."

"From now on, you will specialize in growing mushrooms. Just by growing mushrooms, you can make our Dabazi Village rich."

When they were almost at the mushroom house, the captain said something and walked in.

"Yes, Xiao Zhou, you have to understand the priorities. For us, just growing mushrooms is enough."

Wu Dagang patted his shoulder earnestly.

"Ah? No, growing ginseng isn't bad either, right?"

Zhou Ziwen was stunned for a moment as he watched the captain and Wu Dagang quickly walk into the mushroom house.

Why does he feel like he's shooting himself in the foot?

Planting ginseng, is that planted for the production team?

No, he just wanted to get some start-up capital for himself.

As for helping the production team grow ginseng, it was just to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Growing mushrooms was his gift to the production team.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether I plant ginseng or not. My private plot is almost planted anyway. After the private plot is planted, whether the production team wants to plant more is up to the production team."

Zhou Ziwen shook his head and followed him into the mushroom house.

Anyway, he has done what he should do. When he makes money in the future, the production team just needs to not regret it.

When we walked into the mushroom house, the team leader and Wu Dagang had already entered the room where mushrooms were grown.

When Zhou Ziwen went in, the two of them were looking excitedly at the mushrooms growing very vigorously on the shelves.

"What big mushrooms, Ziwen! This batch of mushrooms is much bigger than the previous batch."

Wu Dagang said excitedly.

"It is indeed much larger. These mushrooms can be harvested tomorrow. There will be no problem with transportation then, right?" Zhou Ziwen nodded and asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, the captain and Wu Dagang's faces froze at the same time.

If it was only 30,000 kilograms, they would definitely say it was no problem, after all, they had already contacted those units in the county.

But now I have an extra 10,000 kilograms, and I don’t know who to sell them to.

"this……"

The captain and Wu Dagang looked at each other, and Wu Dagang said, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhou. I'll go to the county town to contact buyers and sell all these mushrooms."

"There's no need to worry. If we can't find a buyer, we can ask the commune for help."

"I think they will find a way."

Zhou Ziwen spoke.

The Dabazi Production Team is affiliated to the commune. They must be so happy that they can grow so many mushrooms!

This was a great achievement for the commune.

The Dabazi Production Team was able to grow mushrooms thanks to their good leadership.

"Indeed, now that these mushrooms have been grown, it's time for the commune to come and take a look."

The captain nodded.

Reporting to the commune was something that had been prepared long ago.

After growing that batch of mushrooms last year, they also reported it to the commune, for which they were praised.

The reason why the expansion of the mushroom house was not reported immediately was mainly because we were waiting for the mushrooms to mature.

Now that the mushrooms are ripe, it’s time to report them to the commune and highlight Dabazi Village’s new industry.

Last year's batch of mushrooms was nothing to the production team and just a small matter to the commune.

But this batch of mushrooms is more important to the Dabazi Production Team.

Mushroom cultivation will become the pillar industry of the Dabazi Production Team in the future.

It is also a great thing for the commune to be able to launch a new project, and a profitable one at that.

I believe that after reporting, the public will take it very seriously.

Eight thousand yuan, not a one-time eight thousand yuan, but a continuous eight thousand yuan.
