For a moment, Chen Chunhua almost threw the jar away.
No, brother, can’t you just tell me first and then give it to me?
Did their family get wiped out by snakes in their past life? Is that why they keep getting snakes in this life?
"...Is it freshly brewed?" Chen Chunhua finally managed to say this after a long while.
"That's not the case. He picked up the snake during the Chinese New Year last year. It has been soaked for almost a year and has not been taken out of the jar yet." Liu Guoping scratched his head, sounding a little embarrassed.
"When you open the jar, pour some out and see if it's not right. Don't drink it. My old man likes to stir the wine, but he doesn't drink it himself..."
But his father actually treasured his pile of bottles and jars. If he hadn't heard how much salary he got and the boss's wife said that the salary would increase after the New Year, his father would definitely not have picked out the best jar to send to him.
His father said that as a middle school graduate, he needed to be taught how to do things wherever he went. In many places, apprentices worked for their masters for free. If the boss was kind to them, they should be grateful. Not only did they have to work hard, but they also had to bring back any goodies.
Chen Chunhua was a little amused when she heard this, but she also knew that it was the kindness of the other person's father, so she accepted it with thanks and decided to take it back to let Lin Guoqing and Liang Shengdi take a look. If they can drink it, they can drink it. If not... they can change it into a glass wine jar and put it on the shelf in the main room as a decoration.
Sun Chuanfang was visibly embarrassed; she hadn't brought anything. From the moment she saw the jar of wine in Liu Guoping's hand, she'd been mentally cursing this despicable man for not informing her, and wondering if she was such a bad person.
"Boss, I forgot today, I will definitely do it tomorrow..." In fact, she wanted to go back and look through her things at home to see if she could give some bribe to the god who was in charge of her salary.
Then he was interrupted by Chen Chunhua who smiled and waved her hand.
"You two don't really have to give me anything. Just work hard, and let's try to increase our mushroom production this year. That would be the greatest gift to both you and me. After all, our salaries and bonuses all depend on it, right?"
Sun Chuanfang and Liu Guoping nodded quickly, that’s right!
But the next day, Sun Chuanfang still brought a bag of apples and a box of biscuits. He said that these were New Year gifts that his parents had prepared long ago, and if Chen Chunhua didn't accept them, he would definitely be scolded by his parents for being ignorant.
Chen Chunhua had no choice but to accept it, but she brought a bag of oranges from home and placed it in the lounge for the three of them, allowing the two of them to eat it themselves.
The mycelium in the mushroom house is growing well. They were all replanted in early February. Up to now, the slow-growing mycelium has covered the entire house, and the fast-growing ones have already budded. It is estimated that we will be able to harvest mushrooms in half a month.
While things were growing here, Chen Chunhua was also studying them over there. For example, shiitake mushrooms. She looked at the mushroom trees and estimated that they could only be used for a year at most. However, during the Qingming Festival, they would have to rest for half a year. This business was not cost-effective.
She wondered whether she should make mushroom bags like she did with the oyster mushrooms at the beginning, but in fact, the best way would be to use plastic bags, which would cost money to buy and also have a lifespan. She couldn't use the next batch after using up one, and she didn't want to waste the money.
Are they made like the racks for Agaricus bisporus or Oyster mushrooms? Whether it's a mushroom bed or a stand, it costs money. These one-time payments are definitely much more than a batch of plastic bags, but the advantage is that they can be reused over and over again.
She was still thinking about calling people to help build a new mushroom house and chicken and duck coop after the Lantern Festival!
Yes, that's right, she was thinking about breaking ground again. The 20,000 yuan she saved before the New Year went to the savings bank, and the savings book hadn't even warmed up yet, but she had to take it out again.
Heartache!
Hard to add!
In order to save as much money as possible, she started flipping through the pile of magazines again. In the second half of last year, Chen Chunhua was actively researching mushroom farming in the village, and Lin Guoqing had to look for the local post office and bookstore wherever he went.
There are actually a lot of books and periodicals on agriculture and breeding these days, and they are even published in every province. Whenever Lin Guoqing arrives at a place, he looks for them all, and not only for the current year, but also for previous years.
There are now two large stacks of magazines piled high on the double desk. Lin Guoqing also plans to ask Sun Defa to help build a bookcase after the 15th. Since there is a research-oriented scholar at home, a bookcase is indispensable.
In that pile of magazines, Chen Chunhua came across the mushroom brick cultivation method. In fact, this should be the earliest method used in culture medium cultivation. Culture medium is expensive, and mushroom brick cultivation should be the lowest cost and highest yield method.
But! After studying this thing until now, the latest high-yield technology that Chen Chunhua has summarized from several reports requires not only plastic bags but also racks. It would be best if you could build a greenhouse!
Chen Chunhua was speechless. She had clearly come here to find a cheap solution, but why was it that she was burning more and more money?
It would be fine if I could make money, but what if I burn all the money and still can't come up with anything new... Ugh!
Otherwise, let’s take a look at the enoki mushrooms first?
Hmm… large-bed cultivation technology for Enoki mushrooms, that's great! This commune's mushroom culture factory is growing Enoki mushrooms in a civil air defense tunnel, so the basement of the old mushroom house could be used as a basement!
...But she still needs racks and plastic bags...and the raw materials still need cottonseed hulls...That's great, she now has one more ingredient to buy.
Chen Chunhua closed the magazine angrily. Never mind. The more she read, the angrier she got. She might as well go and order the bricks first! Li Hongniu should be coming back soon. Maybe there will be new applicants. If they're from out of town, they'll have to be given a whole place to live.
After eating Yuanxiao on the 15th day of the first lunar month, construction began simultaneously on the east and west sides of Sihe Village.
Not only does the farm need to build a third chicken coop and a new duck house, but Chen Chunhua also plans to build a staff dormitory, preferably a two-story one that can be used for both office and accommodation.
The second chicken house is currently responsible for incubation and brooding. Because the chicks hatched earlier cannot be placed in the second chicken house, there are still 1,500 chicks being raised in the second chicken house. She plans to move there as soon as the third chicken house is completed.
When the time comes, we will clean up No. 2 and add another layer, and it can be used as a dormitory.
Chen Chunhua drew a large area for chicken coop No. 3. She pulled Liu Ni and the other two together to discuss it for a long time. Combining their own experience with that of others, they planned to directly make the entire two floors.
There is no other way. With artificial insemination and water temperature incubation, the speed of adding new chicks is really too fast. If you don't build a large two-story house, Chen Chunhua is really afraid that one day Liu Ni will despise her as a boss who has no ambition and does not know how to expand the scale even though she has the conditions.
It was that money, flowing out like water.
