"If Uncle Lin is worried about the risks, we can proceed together."
Lin Weiguo became interested as soon as he heard it.
"What do you mean?"
Shi Yan immediately explained his thoughts in detail.
"Since we want to use the mountain soil to grow other agricultural and sideline products, we can completely avoid using the fields for growing grain."
"I remember there's a lot of vacant land in the back mountain that's been abandoned because the soil is not good, right?"
"It's a good place to test it."
“…”
Lin Ran listened carefully because she found that Shi Yan's idea was similar to the ecological farm of the future.
I immediately joined the discussion.
"What kind is good?"
To be honest, this idea was something Shi Yan came up with on the spur of the moment, and he definitely hadn't thought that far ahead.
But seeing Lin Ran staring at him with bright eyes, he subconsciously didn't want to disappoint Lin Ran, so he gritted his teeth and continued to think.
Fortunately, he was from Beijing and had been to all the stores in Beijing, so he knew which items were more popular in the market.
However, although there are many things that have a market, few are suitable for the Tashan Brigade.
He tried hard to recall the plants he had encountered on his previous trip up the mountain to see if there were any that could be used.
But I really can't remember it for a moment.
The three of them were chatting animatedly. Lin Lao San, who was lying on Lin Weiguo's back, couldn't stand the loneliness and couldn't help but interrupt:
"What can we grow on our mountain? Unless we plant some wild fruit trees. I see a lot of wild fruit growing on the mountain."
Lin Weiguo now gets angry when he hears Lin Laosan speak.
"You know shit! What can you exchange wild fruits for? You don't even know how much they'll fetch at the recycling station! If you don't understand, stop talking nonsense! You don't know anything and you're still trying to act like a hero! "
Lin Laosan was once again scolded as a coward.
But Lin Weiguo obviously had not trained enough, and when he was about to continue, he was interrupted by a surprised voice.
“I figured it out!”
"What did you think of?"
Lin Weiguo no longer cared about Lin Lao San and looked straight at Shi Yan.
Even Lin Ran stared at Shi Yan with curiosity.
Shi Yan calmed down and replied:
"We can plant mulberry trees. I saw several mulberry trees on the hill behind us, which shows that the mountain soil here is very suitable for growing mulberry trees."
Lin Weiguo didn't understand.
"But what can you do with mulberry trees? You're not going to actually sell the mulberry fruits at the recycling station, are you?"
Thinking of what he had just said to Lin Lao San, Lin Weiguo had a bad feeling.
Shi Yan shook his head and laughed, and quickly explained:
"It's not for the mulberry fruit, but for raising silkworms and planting mulberry trees. The reason is that the silkworms' food is mulberry leaves. If we plant mulberry trees, we won't have to worry about food for the silkworms in the future."
"Raising silkworms? The silkworm pupae?"
Lin Weiguo was somewhat knowledgeable, and knew what it was as soon as Shi Yan said it, but his knowledge was limited, and he didn't understand what the point of raising this thing was.
"Can a purchasing station accept the silk that thing spits out?"
Shi Yan knew that Lin Weiguo and the others did not understand the situation outside, so he gave them some scientific knowledge:
"The silk they produce is called silk, and it's the raw material for making silk."
"The country is short of foreign exchange, so we have been looking for ways to earn foreign exchange through export trade, and silk is one of our export trade items."
“Silk is particularly popular abroad!”
Lin Weiguo still found it a little bit unbelievable after hearing this.
"Can the silk produced by silkworm pupae actually generate foreign exchange for the country?"
Shi Yan nodded affirmatively.
"Indeed, it can be processed into silk, but we don't need to worry about that. We are only responsible for raising the silk."
"I believe that as long as this skill is cultivated, it will definitely bring some extra income to the Tashan Brigade, and the living conditions of the team members will also be improved."
"I can't say anything else, but eating meat twice a month should be fine."
The scene described by Shi Yan was so beautiful that Lin Weiguo couldn't help but imagine it in his mind and almost smiled to himself.
"How can we eat meat twice a month? I guess even the people in the commune don't have such good conditions."
Lin Ran, who was standing by, was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
She knew the value of silk better than anyone else. After all, most of her clothes in her previous life were made of silk.
The remaining summer clothes are also made of silk gauze.
This shows the supply market of silk.
But she soon realized a most important problem.
"But we don't know how to raise silkworms?"
With a snap.
Lin Weiguo's beautiful dream was immediately shattered by Lin Ran's words.
"Yeah, if we don't know how to raise silkworms, then nothing we say will work!"
Shi Yan's face froze for a moment, and he seemed to have forgotten about this.
However, although he didn't know how to raise silkworms, he knew who did, and he would know when the time came by just asking.
Just thinking of that person, Shi Yan couldn't help but think of the Shi family and his deceased grandfather.
Seeing Shi Yan's expression instantly down, Lin Ran thought he was feeling guilty, so she comforted him:
"Shi Zhiqing, you don't have to think too much. We are already very grateful that you can come up with such a solution for our Tashan Brigade."
"As for the matter of raising silkworms, I'll borrow your words to comfort me today: there is always a way out. We can ask others about it."
When she said this, she was already thinking about whether she should go to the Shen family's study to look for it.
However, the Shen family opened Nishang Pavilion, which specializes in custom-made clothes for the nobility.
Although most of the precious materials used were made of silk, she was not sure if there were any books about sericulture.
After hearing Lin Ran's words, Shi Yan came back to his senses. He quickly composed himself and put on a forced smile.
