The next day, Zhang Wenfu went directly to the Agricultural Bureau.
I don’t know if Director Zhu had told the security guard, but Zhang Wenfu was able to enter the Agriculture Bureau and meet Director Zhu smoothly.
"Brother Zhang, did your family agree to the conditions we proposed yesterday?" Director Zhu did not expect to meet Zhang Wenfu so soon.
This time Zhang Wenfu came to see him, he must have agreed to the conditions they proposed yesterday.
"Director Zhu, my sister would like to invite you to visit our mushroom cultivation base. Oh! By the way, my sister was the first to experiment with how to grow mushrooms, and she gradually cultivated them.
After I came up to take care of the mushrooms, I slowly figured out my own methods for cultivating them. Zhang Wenfu also told Director Zhu that he had developed a set of methods for cultivating mushrooms while taking care of them.
"You two brothers and sisters are quite remarkable.
Can I bring other consultants to visit your mushroom cultivation base?" After hearing Zhang Wenfu's words, Director Zhu's eyes flashed with interest and curiosity about the sister Zhang Wenfu mentioned.
In the field of agriculture, any innovative planting method may bring major breakthroughs and benefits, and the Zhang Wenfu siblings have obviously performed well in this regard.
"Of course, Director Zhu." Zhang Wenfu answered readily.
Soon, Director Zhu arranged for three consultants and Quan Wei to accompany him to visit and inspect the Zhang family's mushroom base.
"Director Zhu, Captain Quan, and three consultants, these are the mushrooms grown in my family." Soon, Zhang Wenfu took several people from the Agriculture Bureau home to visit the mushroom cultivation base in their backyard.
"This... these mushrooms are grown in these grooves? Aren't they grown in the soil?" Director Zhu was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
In his understanding, no matter what crops are planted, they should grow in dark and humid soil, but what he saw before him was completely different.
In the backyard of Zhang Wenfu's house, neat rows of wooden troughs replaced the traditional land. The troughs were covered with layers of straw and broken wood blocks, and covered with white jade-like mushrooms of various shapes, which looked particularly tempting.
"Isn't this amazing?" Quan Wei also exclaimed.
“In fact, when I first saw mushrooms being grown in this way, I also found it incredible.
After trying to plant it, I found that as long as the fungus in the wooden trough is kept under a certain temperature, humidity, ventilation conditions and sunlight, it can thrive quickly.
High or low temperature and humidity levels can affect mushroom growth and even cause the fungi in the wooden trough to degenerate and disappear, resulting in a complete cessation of growth. Zhang Wenfu saw the shocked and incredulous people from the Agricultural Bureau touring his mushroom farm. He thought of the fact that he had single-handedly tended these mushrooms, and a surge of pride and satisfaction welled up in his heart.
"According to what you said, Consultant Zhang, as long as we take good care of the mushroom strains, we will be able to harvest a batch of mushrooms every once in a while. It's like leeks, which have roots. After you cut one crop, another will grow." Director Zhu asked, grasping the key point.
"No! Mushrooms grow much faster than leeks. After a month, we can harvest the first batch of mushrooms, and then another batch will grow every ten days.
Most importantly, the cultivation of these mushrooms doesn't require fertile soil, saving on land and fertilizer," Zhang Wenfu continued.
Zhang Wenfu also deliberately prolonged the growth time of the mushrooms to avoid any unexpected situations that would be difficult to explain.
He knew that although the mushroom cultivation cycle was short and the fertility requirements were not high in theory, there were still many variables in actual operation, such as temperature and humidity control, pest and disease prevention, and strain degeneration. These were all key factors affecting mushroom yield and quality.
"Advisor Zhang, after hearing what you said, I think mushroom farming has a bright future!" Director Zhu's eyes sparkled with excitement. If these mushrooms can be cultivated in large quantities and promoted to various production brigades, mushroom cultivation will be unprecedented. We can also export them, that is, sell them to foreign countries to earn foreign exchange.
This is an amazing political achievement, and his position can still be moved.
"Consultant Zhang, which one is your sister?" Director Zhu saw Zhang Qiurui watering mushrooms and asked Zhang Wenfu.
"Yes, my sister Zhang Qiurui." Zhang Wenfu nodded proudly of Zhang Qiurui.
Zhang Wenfu felt that his sister was very capable. Not only did she figure out how to cultivate and grow mushrooms, but she also made a lot of money by writing articles and publishing them in magazines. To make money, all she had to do was use her mouth and hands, and remittance slips were sent to her one after another.
Zhang Wenfu shared the honor.
"Director Zhu, hello everyone! Are the mushrooms grown in my family okay?" Zhang Qiurui seemed to sense something. She put down the kettle, walked towards Director Zhu and his group, and asked with a smile.
"Comrade Zhang Qiurui, the mushrooms grown in your family are not only good, but excellent. I wonder what you think of the suggestions made by Consultant Zhang yesterday?" Director Zhu glanced at Zhang Qiurui and saw that the girl in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth. She talked to him freely without any nervousness. Instead, she looked very relaxed, as if she was meeting an ordinary person.
On the contrary, Zhang Wenfu did not see the nervousness and awkwardness he felt.
“No problem.
However, our family has two requirements. First, my second brother, who works as a consultant at the Agricultural Bureau, must sign a formal employment contract, and his welfare benefits must be in accordance with what you discussed yesterday.
Second, the mushrooms produced by our mushroom cultivation base are purchased by the Agricultural Bureau at a price of one cent per pound regardless of the season.
"If Director Zhu agrees to these two things, we can provide half of the fungus from our mushroom cultivation base to your Agricultural Bureau for initial cultivation, propagation, and expansion." Zhang Qiurui unhurriedly proposed the two conditions they had discussed yesterday.
“No problem, the Agriculture Bureau can agree to it.
Sign a formal contract and you can go back and sign it later. " Director Zhu immediately agreed to these two conditions.
"Director Zhu, if the Agricultural Bureau wants to grow mushrooms, it must first build these wooden troughs and houses. After they are completed, it will move the mushroom strains, expand the scale, and slowly reproduce them. Then it will be promoted to the production teams, and let the production teams cultivate and grow them." Zhang Qiurui reminded Director Zhu.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do these tasks.
"Consultant Zhang, you and I will go back to the Agricultural Bureau to sign a formal contract." After Director Zhu saw that today's schedule was perfectly resolved, he couldn't wait to go back and arrange for people to prepare for mushroom cultivation.
