Han Xue knew that Gu Honglan was saving face for them, so she said apologetically, "We really didn't do much work before, and we weren't familiar with it. But we'll learn."
Actually, growing mushrooms isn't particularly difficult, but it's incredibly hard work.
Because mushrooms need to maintain humidity, someone has to get up to care for them, even late at night.
At first, they couldn't get up at night at all, and Gu Honglan and the others had to get up and wake them up.
Gu Honglan originally said she could help spray water.
But neither of them dared to ask Gu Honglan for help that night.
There are only fifty mushroom bags now, that's easy.
But what if the number increases in the future, say to several hundred?
You can't keep asking others for help, can you?
Therefore, the two strongly requested that Gu Honglan and the others wake them up at night, and that they should do what they were supposed to do themselves.
They gradually adapted.
Fortunately, there are two people, so we can switch.
Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to go back to sleep after waking up at night.
They are still getting used to this.
While they were chatting, Gu Hanping was also learning about mushroom cultivation.
After that, we still need Gu Yunyang's help to promote the mushroom bags.
By then, every household in the entire Hongqi Brigade will be growing mushrooms.
This is a large sum of money.
Planting fifty mushroom bags at a time yields over a hundred kilograms of mushrooms.
Mushrooms are quite expensive, costing a little over ten or twenty cents per pound, which is not a problem.
If it's in good condition, a couple of cents is really not a problem.
The price is even higher when dried.
That's more than twenty yuan a time.
Of course, Gu Hanping also had to consider that with the increased quantity and the unified purchase by the supply and marketing cooperative, the price would definitely not be as good as the retail price.
At one cent per pound, you can earn ten yuan in one go.
How much does a mushroom bag cost?
Just five eggs.
The whole village, well, the whole brigade, can achieve a moderately prosperous life.
Of course, this might raise the question of whether something is capitalist or socialist.
But it's not a big problem.
Gu Hanping also had some considerations.
We also need to discuss these things with Gu Yunyang.
Just as I was thinking, Hao Pingping came over, holding her granddaughter and looking miserable.
"What's going on?" Gu Hanping asked curiously.
To look after her grandchildren, Hao Pingping stopped working in the fields, losing several work points every day.
Hao Pingping said, "I only went out and talked to Granny Wang for a few minutes. When I came back, I didn't see Gao Yang. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find him."
What?
Gu Hanping was also startled, as this was his only grandson.
Although she doesn't look down on her granddaughter, she still takes her grandson very seriously.
Gu Hanping was a little anxious. Gu Honglan heard this and quickly said, "Then let's quickly call people to search everywhere. By the way, did Gao Yang go out to play? Have you looked for him at the brigade headquarters?"
A three-year-old child can already run around everywhere.
Gu Changbai works at a sugar workshop near the brigade headquarters. If the child misses his father, he might go to look for him.
This is not impossible.
"Yes, let's go look at the brigade headquarters first. I'll get some more people to search around."
