"Old Wu, Xiao Zhou, where are you going?"
As soon as they left the office, Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen met the team leader coming towards them.
Although he was a little upset about the quota issue, he still forced a smile when facing Zhou Ziwen.
"Old Zhou, do you know how many kilograms of mushrooms this kid said he had?" Wu Dagang asked excitedly.
"How many pounds?" The captain was a little curious.
Looking at Wu Dagang’s excited expression, you can tell that this batch of mushrooms definitely exceeded their expectations.
"Six thousand kilograms, Lao Zhou, a full six thousand kilograms!"
Looking at Wu Dagang's flushed face, Zhou Ziwen was a little worried that if the old man continued to get so excited, he might die.
"So many?" The captain was stunned and looked at Zhou Ziwen in disbelief.
"No more, no less." Zhou Ziwen said affirmatively.
"Let's go and take a look." The captain made a prompt decision and pulled Zhou Ziwen towards the mushroom house.
Being pulled by two people, Zhou Ziwen felt helpless. What kind of people are these two old men?
Is this a continuation of the same strain?
They arrived at the mushroom house and Wu Dagang and the team leader went in first.
Fortunately, the members of the Mushroom Group are not the kind of people who would cheat or be dishonest. They are now carefully taking care of the areas they are responsible for.
If you see them slacking off, they will probably be criticized.
"Captain."
"Secretary Wu."
"Team Leader Zhou."
Seeing them, the team members greeted them.
"You guys just focus on your own things and don't worry about us." The captain and Wu Dagang waved their hands.
"Xiao Zhou, can this batch of mushrooms be eaten?" Wu Dagang asked.
"Of course, mushrooms are not poisonous and you can eat them anytime," said Zhou Ziwen.
"Okay, pick one out first and we'll weigh it." Wu Dagang said.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then said to Liu Dawei and Wang Dayou beside him: "Dawei, Dayou, find a basket and a scale, and let's weigh it."
"OK."
Liu Dawei and Wang Dayou hurriedly stopped what they were doing and turned to leave the mushroom house.
After a while, the two men brought the basket and scale.
Zhou Ziwen was very skillful and picked mushrooms covering an area of one square meter in a short time.
"Let me weigh it." The captain couldn't wait any longer, so he snatched the scale from Wang Dayou's hand and weighed it himself.
"Twenty-seven pounds and thirty-two ounces, how much does the basket weigh?" the captain turned his head and asked.
"Three pounds and six ounces." Wang Dayou on the side answered hurriedly.
"Twenty-seven pounds and three ounces, minus three pounds and six ounces..."
"Twenty-three pounds and seven ounces." Zhou Ziwen said silently beside him.
"Yes, it's 23.7 jins. Wow, Xiao Zhou, your mushrooms are growing well!" The team leader praised loudly.
"Thanks to the support of the team leader, Uncle Wu and all the leaders, without you, there would be no Mushroom House. I was just following the leaders' orders." Zhou Ziwen flattered with a smile. After all, good words don't cost money, and it doesn't cost a penny to say more.
"Haha, that's well said. But you are the biggest contributor. Don't worry, we won't take all the credit from you. What belongs to you is yours." The captain laughed happily.
Wu Dagang next to him also had wrinkles on his face from laughing.
"Hehe!" Zhou Ziwen also touched his head and smiled foolishly.
The mushrooms he grows bring real benefits to the village. The successful cultivation of this batch of mushrooms means that the village will have another profitable pillar industry in the future.
In this era, individuals were not allowed to do business, but that did not mean that production teams were not allowed to do business.
Of course, the production team could not openly say that they were doing business, but rather they were exchanging what they had with other units in the county.
As for how to do this, that is the business of the captain and Wu Dagang.
Anyway, these people are smart and know the ins and outs very well, so Zhou Ziwen doesn't need to worry about it.
He has brought such great benefits to the village, how could the villagers treat him badly?
Not to mention the village, I guess in a few days, even the county leaders will hear his name.
Zhou Ziwen was not talking nonsense. When all the mushrooms were sold, the village would definitely report it. This would be a great achievement. There was no reason to hide such a proud thing.
And it cannot be hidden. Any income and expenditure of the village must be recorded. If the records are not clear, what awaits the village is not credit, but punishment.
"Well, these mushrooms are all grown by you. Now that you have picked them, you can divide them among yourselves!" Looking at the white and tender mushrooms in the basket, the team leader spoke.
"Thank you, Captain."
"The captain is mighty."
When the team members heard that there was such a benefit, they cheered immediately.
They really want to try it and see what the difference is between the mushrooms they grow themselves and those picked outside.
"Captain and Uncle Wu, please try it too and see how the mushrooms we grow ourselves taste!" Zhou Ziwen has a keen eye.
Although the team leader and Wu Dagang didn't ask for it, he couldn't refuse to give it to them!
"That won't do. You want me to make a mistake!" The captain shook his head repeatedly.
"What's the big deal? You have to try these mushrooms to see if they taste good. Only by tasting them can you know whether they are easy to sell!" Zhou Ziwen started to distribute them without waiting for him to refuse.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen is a little tired of eating this thing.
After all, he often went to the mountains and picked some mushrooms every time.
Until now, he doesn't like to pick mushrooms if he comes across one that doesn't taste good.
The captain and Wu Dagang could not refuse and had no choice but to accept it.
But after this incident, Zhou Ziwen found that their smiles became more obvious.
It was still working hours, so he definitely couldn't just give the mushrooms to them. So Zhou Ziwen found two team members next to them and asked them to deliver the mushrooms on their way home.
After seeing the yield of this batch of mushrooms with their own eyes, the team leader and Wu Dagang left with excitement.
They need to quickly contact the units in the county to sell this batch of mushrooms, or rather, to exchange them.
According to Zhou Ziwen, these mushrooms will be fully mature in one or two days. The mushrooms at this time are the freshest. If it is later, the mushrooms will become old and the taste will not be so good.
The team leader and Wu Dagang believed this without a doubt. After all, Zhou Ziwen was the one who knew the most about mushrooms.
After the team leader and Wu Dagang left, Zhou Ziwen didn't stay in the mushroom house for long. He just said a few words and left.
Of course, before leaving, he also distributed the mushrooms. Except for the team leader and Wu Dagang who each received three pounds, the rest were divided equally among everyone.
All in all, each person got about one and a half kilograms.
As the team leader, Zhou Ziwen's portion was a little larger, about two kilograms.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care. He had plenty of this stuff at home, and most of the leftovers were dried into mushrooms by him.
Not to mention, dried mushrooms are incredibly delicious when used to make soup, and they taste even better than meat! (End of this chapter)
