Chapter 9 Growing Mushrooms



A piece of white wood with dark gold patterns.

The white is the kind of white that jade has, with extremely rich layers, and the texture of the darker white annual rings is distinct.

The dimensions are approximately: 45 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 5 cm thick. The shape is irregular, as if it was chopped out with an axe.

The dark gold pattern is lightning-shaped and penetrates deep into the wood layer.

It feels very warm, just like touching a hand warmer.

There were several tooth marks on it.

Lin Chong was sure that there was absolutely no such wood on earth.

This material looks very high-end, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a treasure from heaven and earth.

Of course, what Lin Chong is most concerned about is whether this thing is edible.

It doesn’t look edible if you touch it, but the little red snake has clearly eaten it before, as evidenced by the tooth marks on the wood.

Lin Chong took the file and carefully filed out a bunch of crumbs from the edge.

Because of the hardness it felt, he felt that his teeth would not be able to bite it, and he had a bad stomach, so it should be easier to digest if it was cut into smaller pieces.

After filing a plate of sawdust, Lin Chong thought for a while, went to the kitchen, took out the precious flour, kneaded a little dough, and wrapped the sawdust in it.

I turned on the gas stove, heated the pan, put the dough wrapped in sawdust into the pan, and fried it on both sides until it turned golden brown. Gradually, the fragrance spread out, and the children next door cried out of greed...

In short, after frying and taking it out, it becomes a pancake.

The sawdust wrapped inside the dough looked as if it had not been fried, still so warm and hard.

Closing his eyes, Lin Chong opened his mouth and stuffed the first dish he created in the other world, fried sacred wood, into his mouth.

chew.

One, two, three, four...

Snap!

Lin Chong felt that he had bitten into a rock.

vomit!

He quickly spat out what was in his mouth, and saw that there was not even a tooth mark on the sawdust in his palm.

Oh my god...

Lin Chong sighed.

Let’s just count on the hydroponic vegetables in the bathtub.

Three days later.

Twelve o'clock noon.

Lin Chong opened the refrigerator, looked at the empty interior, sighed, and closed it again.

Change it to one meal a day.

The bean sprouts and garlic sprouts in the bathtub are growing averagely, or very poorly. Could it be because there is no sunlight? Lin Chong sat by the bathtub, calculating the growth rate of these things and considering whether to dismantle the bathtub and grow them on the balcony.

But even with the most optimistic estimates, the growth rate of this thing is not enough to sustain his life.

The food reserves in the kitchen were running low.

Lin Chong sighed and sat back in front of the computer.

“Indoor vegetable cultivation…”

Halfway through the fight, Lin Chong sighed again. Now all he had left in his refrigerator were a bunch of mushrooms.

So he changed his search keyword to "how to grow mushrooms at home".

A bunch of results immediately appeared on the search engine.

Lin Chong looked at it for a few times and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It takes seven to ten days to produce, and the yield is high..."

Although the planting method is a bit complicated, it is divided into two steps: spawning and planting. The raw materials needed include jade core powder, gypsum powder, superphosphate, sugar, etc., but these raw materials are not irreplaceable. The most important thing is that no soil is required.

You can try it.

As long as the planting is successful.

Not only is the yield high, but mushrooms are much tastier than garlic sprouts and leeks. Coat them with flour and fry them in a pan. The kids next door are crying with envy...

Just do it.

The first step is to remove the bacteria.

Boil a few sterilized bottles, remove the rotten parts of the mushrooms in the refrigerator, put them in, put them in a cool place, and just wait for the mycelium to grow. This process will last from a few days to half a month, depending on the environment.

While waiting for the fungi to grow, Lin Chong was making the culture dishes.

There was sugar at home, and starch was used instead of gypsum. The most important thing was corn cobs. Lin Chong ground that "treasure from heaven and earth" into powder.

Of course, there aren’t enough.

Starting from the next day, Lin Chong carefully observed the other world with a telescope. Judging from the reaction of the little red snake, he felt that this "white wood" must not be uncommon in Kunlun Mountain.

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Chong found several pieces, both far and near, of different sizes, some bigger than a skateboard, some as small as a book, all buried in the snow. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find them. Lin Chong used a fishing line and an engineer shovel, and it took him two full days to hook up seven or eight pieces.

The little red snake had been hooked until it felt a sense of crisis, as if it was worried that all its food would be hooked away, and it stopped "sucking" the golden fairy fruit. As long as Lin Chong moved, it would stare at him, but it had a fear of the fishing line and did not dare to move forward for a while.

Lin Chong felt that the number was enough, so he stopped.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Three days had passed by then.

Most of the leeks and garlic sprouts grown in the bathtub died. The rest were transplanted by Lin Chong into buckets and placed on the balcony to receive the sun. They grew well, but the quantity was far from enough.

Then the bathtub was covered with white sawdust, moistened with rice bran water, mixed with starch, and covered with an airtight raincoat. Fermentation began inside, and the bathtub was cultivated into a growth dish suitable for Inru.

Lin Chong threw in all the rotten mushrooms he had cut.

What the growth dish needs is a beneficial environment, and the more complex the ecological environment, the better.

All that remains is waiting and anticipation.

Crossing the fifteenth day.

The food in the refrigerator is already clean.

Lin Chong has already started eating the leeks and bean sprouts he grew.

Boil water and add a little precious salt.

Lin Chong still had a lot of ingredients such as soy sauce and salt left, but they could not withstand weeks, months, or even years of consumption.

Lin Chong has to be extremely frugal.

By today, Lin Chong had realized that he would probably have to spend quite some time in this room.

Of course, if the day comes when you can’t bear it anymore.

Lin Chong will try to attack the Golden Immortal Fruit once.

This damn time travel.

After eating the boiled bean sprouts, Lin Chong still felt his stomach was empty.

I think about how long I will have to live like this.

Lin Chong suddenly felt very tired.

And in the future I may not even be able to eat bean sprouts.

Thinking of this, Lin Chong went to the corner of the bathroom behind the toilet - the darkest place in the entire bathroom, and took out three bottles of mycelium that had been cultured for more than a week. After taking them out, his eyes went dark.

The information says that the cultivation of mycelium takes a few days to a few weeks, depending on the environment. These three bottles have been sealed for a week, so there may be some changes. If white mycelium grows, it means it is successful. If it turns black and mold grows, then it is over.

The mushrooms inside the three bottles in front of Lin Chong had begun to turn black.

Either the bottle was not sterilized thoroughly, or air got in. In short, it failed.

Lin Chong felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fell down.

I was not full and my blood sugar was low, and now I was hit so hard by the reality that I almost fainted.

There is no way...

Lin Chong was in an extremely depressed mood.

The journey of an otaku trying to survive in a different world ends here.

After that, they either starved to death or were bitten by snakes.

Although he still has the immortality granted by the system, Lin Chong feels that he might be in an endless hell of pain. As a stay-at-home, he would rather stay at home and live a miserable life than challenge the limits of life.

But now…

Lin Chong was depressed for a long time before he slowly stood up. As he stood up, he was exhausted and his hand slipped on the edge of the bathtub, pulling off the raincoat covering the bathtub and nearly falling.

Grass!

Lin Chong wanted to curse the heavens for being unfair. What kind of idiot came through time and space and didn't even give him food to eat! But when he glanced at the opened bathtub, he was stunned. After the black raincoat was removed, he saw that the bathtub was full of white jade-colored mushrooms!
