Until the evening, no one from the village office came to see her for anything. It was only Qiu Manzhi who came to inform her that the fire wall was ready and the wooden boxes were also made and they could be used tomorrow.
She knew they were efficient.
The temperature in the room is now suitable, just a slight burn will do. The box is filled with rotten soil and leaves.
The next day, Qiu Yantang got up and went to see it.
She was very satisfied. "I'll teach you. Sprinkle the mushroom spawn and mycelium evenly on the soil, then spray it with a little water. That's it. The most important thing is to control the temperature of the room..."
At this moment, Qiu Guangdong asked.
"Little Ancestor, what if it's not spread evenly?"
Qiu Yantang almost fainted from anger at his words.
"That's a good question," Qiu Yantang gritted his teeth. "If it's uneven, won't you just spread it over the areas where there's none? If you spread it all in one place, it'll all grow from there."
"I understand, little ancestor!"
When Qiu Yantang turned around, he saw that each of them was holding a pen and taking notes.
I have to say... there are quite a lot of you who can't read or write, right?
Qiu Yantang also told them some precautions. In fact, the success or failure of growing mushrooms can be known in four or five days.
There is strength in numbers. The mushrooms in the two rooms were soon planted, and Qiu Yantang was the one who taught them one by one.
What I mean is, I've been doing farm work for so many years, but I can't even sow the seeds evenly.
"Okay, water it. Sprinkle it up little by little with your hands."
Jin San also came over and looked at what they were doing. He thought it was very interesting and sprinkled water on the water with his hands.
It's just that his hands are relatively large, and a lot of water comes out when he sprinkles. Qiu Yantang was frightened when he saw it.
He just slapped his hand away.
"San, you're trying to drown the mushrooms, right?"
"Ah?" Jin San scratched his head. He had indeed seen others do the same thing.
Seeing her man coming over to make things worse, Qiu Xiaocao quickly said, "Don't do this job. I think you are more suitable for physical work."
Qiu Guangdong also nodded seriously. Jin San was big, so everything he did seemed rough and not very detailed.
But when it comes to doing heavy work, he is definitely a good hand!
The young ancestor stamped the seal himself, he is not suitable for this job.
Qiu Yantang saw that the mushrooms were almost planted. "Let's see tomorrow. If the soil isn't moist enough, sprinkle some water on it."
It is said that mushrooms grow better after rain, mainly because they like water!
Two rooms, different temperatures, and different mushroom spores grown. What is this called in the book?
That’s right, it’s called scientific planting!
When Qiu Yantang came out of the house, he saw that the dried potatoes were almost dried to the point that one bite of them could break one's teeth.
"Little ancestor, grab some to eat first!" Qiu Guangdong looked at Qiu Yantang staring at the dried potatoes on the shelf and couldn't help but say, "Little ancestor is greedy."
Qiu Shuhui grabbed it and put it in Qiu Yantang's pocket. Qiu Yantang held up his pocket and said, "Oh, this is not good, right? How about I buy it with money..."
"It's okay. Why should we give money for a little food? We will be laughed at if we tell others about it." Everyone spoke up and asked Qiu Yantang to accept it.
She was just being polite, she actually had no money!
"Then you guys go ahead and get busy. I'm going back now!"
Another half day of work, happy!
When they got home, Qiu Yantang took out the dried potatoes from his pocket and said, "Qiuhua, soak the dried potatoes. I'm going up the mountain. It would be a shame if I don't stew the dried potatoes with chicken!"
If paired with mushrooms, it will definitely be delicious.
"Little Ancestor, shall I go with you?"
Qiu Yantang shook his head and said, "I'll go by myself."
How nice it is to be alone and free.
After talking to Qiuhua, he went straight up the mountain, but this time he went a little further up the mountain.
By the way, I picked some hawthorns to eat. The fruits were not fully ripe at this time and tasted particularly sour and astringent, but Qiu Yantang missed the taste of it when he was a child.
She was lucky enough to see a pheasant when she got to the mountain. But... maybe it didn't eat well, so it looked a little thin. In a few days, the wild animals in the mountains would fatten up.
However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, let alone a pheasant!
Qiu Yantang threw a stone and hit it directly. Looking at the motionless pheasant, she felt very satisfied. It was better than Feng Sipo's.
At this moment, a man ran out from the depths of the woods with his mouth covered.
Um?
thief!
Qiu Yantang went up and started fighting with him.
Feng Sipo was speechless. Could it be that she couldn't recognize him? He grabbed Qiu Yantang's right hand and took off the mask.
"It's me!"
However, when he moved, Qiu Yantang's left hand... no, left fist, had already hit his eyes. It seemed that Feng Sipo did not retract her hand, but she did reduce the strength a little.
"Excuse me, I thought you were a thief. Why are you wearing a mask?"
Feng Sipo looked aggrieved, and Qiu Yantang gave him a black eye as soon as they met.
"That's for preventing miasma. I'm going to check out the nearby mountains and forests first. It'll be useful for training later."
Qiu Yantang's eyes widened. "You have to come out and investigate this yourself?"
"Ouch," Feng Sipo groaned, his eye sockets aching. "You were so quick and ruthless! If my men came to investigate, they would have been killed by you. Are you here to catch a pheasant?"
At this time, Feng Sipo noticed that the pheasant in Qiu Yantang's hand was already dead.
“Give it to me!”
Hearing Feng Sipo's words, Qiu Yantang was somewhat reluctant, but he still handed the pheasant to him. If a pheasant could make up for the trauma he had suffered emotionally, then it would not be a bad idea.
Feng Sipo looked at her reluctant expression, took the pheasant and bled it.
"You have to bleed it in time, otherwise it won't taste good when you eat it. Remember that."
"Looking at you like that, how could I possibly need you to give me a pheasant?"
"If you really feel guilty, just treat me to a meal."
"Okay then!" Qiu Yantang did not refuse this time. After all, Feng Sipo had given him pheasant and snake meat before, and today she accidentally got beaten by him.
It should be.
"Wait a minute, I'll pick some more hawthorns." After saying that, Qiu Yantang went to look for them. There were many hawthorn trees on the mountain, and she actually found quite a few that were ripe.
It tastes sour and has a very rich fruity flavor.
Feng Sipo noticed that every time Qiu Yantang ate this kind of wild fruit, she liked it sweet and sour, or purely sour.
"Bang!" Feng Sipo hit another pheasant with a small stone, which was similar to the one Qiu Yantang had hit just now.
"One is not enough, let's stew two!"
Qiu Yantang nodded. Originally, one person was enough to eat, but after bringing him along, it was indeed not enough. After picking all the hawthorns, the two of them went home.
