On the way up the mountain, Han Xue turned around and asked curiously, "You really don't plan to make money?"
Gu Yunyang shook his head and replied seriously, "I really have no such plan. As you all know, I have a salary, and I even have two. I'm not short of money, and I won't go hungry. There's no need for me to earn money in the village."
Although if you really did do this business, you could make a lot of money.
But even without this income, Gu Yunyang's life wouldn't be any different.
He himself has no worries about food and drink, and is not short of money.
I don't want to eat too well by myself, lest I attract other people's attention.
Gu Yunyang doesn't need to go out and do those two jobs. Wouldn't it be better for him to lie down, read books, and enjoy some delicious food?
Han Xue looked carefully at Gu Yunyang's expression, nodded, and said firmly, "I believe you."
"Thank you so much."
Gu Yunyang smiled.
When they reached the halfway point on the mountain, standing outside Gu Yunyang's courtyard, Yang Shengnan looked at the vegetables and sweet potatoes in the yard, which had all grown back.
This was replanted by Gu Yunyang.
Sweet potatoes are quite delicious, and Gu Yunyang often likes to cook a few to eat.
There's also dried sweet potato, which tastes great too.
This is also a good gift for Gu Yunyang when visiting relatives.
"Come on, come in with me. I put it in the room next door. I planted mycelium in there, and the nutrients in the spawn bag will last about five times. After five times, you'll need to replace the spawn bag."
The main reason is that the mycelium cannot perform photosynthesis and can only grow by decomposing the nutrients in the substrate bag, which is why the substrate bag has a short lifespan.
Han Xue and Yang Shengnan both went to high school, so they know about photosynthesis.
Han Xue nodded in realization: "No wonder, these mushrooms are all in the shady places under the trees."
Gu Yunyang nodded and led the two inside, where they saw a pile of mushroom bags already stacked up.
"Wow, so many!" Han Xue said, covering her mouth.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that many, only 300 mushroom bags. It looks like a lot, but it's really just that."
Each batch of mushrooms yields only a few hundred kilograms.
The main problem is that there isn't much plaster available. You should ask at a pharmacy.
There really aren't many other places like this.
There was a pile of raw materials for mushroom bags next to them, and Yang Shengnan saw something called gypsum.
"Is there lime in here?" Yang Shengnan asked curiously.
Gu Yunyang nodded and explained, "One of the uses of lime is for sterilization."
Lime has a strong disinfection and sterilization effect, which can effectively kill harmful organisms such as pathogens and insect eggs in the soil and reduce the incidence of diseases and pests during mushroom growth.
In addition, it provides calcium: calcium in lime is one of the important nutrients needed for mushroom growth. Spreading lime can provide mushrooms with sufficient calcium, which helps their root development and plant health, thereby improving yield and quality.
After applying lime to improve the soil environment, mushroom roots can better absorb water and nutrients, promoting their healthy growth. At the same time, lime also helps mushrooms enhance their resistance to adverse conditions and improve their ability to adapt to challenging environments.
There are also those that adjust pH levels.
Plants need a suitable pH level to grow.
The main components of lime are calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide, which can react with acidic substances in the soil to effectively increase the soil pH value, creating a more suitable growing environment for mushrooms that prefer a slightly alkaline environment.
After Gu Yunyang explained, Han Xue and Yang Shengnan's eyes lit up, and they both looked like they had been educated and had learned a lot.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and asked, "Are you choosing from the pre-prepared mushroom bags, or are you making them yourself?"
"If you want to do it yourself, I can teach you. Later, you can get raw materials from me, process them into mushroom bags, and sell them to the members of the brigade. You don't need many; one egg per mushroom bag will suffice."
Seeing their hesitation, Gu Yunyang added, "As you can see, there are a lot of raw materials, and they need to be crushed. Then, assembling such a mushroom bag is time-consuming and laborious. That's why I definitely can't take on all the work for the whole team."
Let's think about it.
"We'll think about it."
