For the next half day, Zhou Ziwen stayed in the mushroom house.
The materials for preparing the nutrient solution were all ready-made, except for one that was missing, so Zhou Ziwen had someone go to the village to find it.
He actually knew several formulas that could speed up mushroom growth, but he chose the one he was making now because the ingredients were easier to find.
There is a special mixing room in the Mushroom House. Zhou Ziwen closed the door and stayed in the room alone, not letting outsiders in.
Masters are used to keeping some secrets for their apprentices, and he is no exception. Even if he wants to pass on this recipe in the future, he will choose a reliable person.
Although he didn't think much of this recipe, he didn't want to entrust it to the wrong person.
By noon, the nutrient solution was successfully prepared.
This time he prepared two types of nutrient solutions, one to accelerate growth and the other to increase mushroom yield.
With these two nutrient solutions, the mushroom production time will be reduced by at least five to seven days. Don't underestimate these few days.
After all, the growth cycle of mushrooms is not long, only about a month at the fastest.
Shortening the time means that more mushrooms can be grown in the same amount of time.
In a year, at least one more batch of mushrooms can be cultivated.
This extra batch is all money!
Moreover, there is another nutrient solution that can increase mushroom yield by 8%.
In the future, one hundred kilograms of mushrooms can become one hundred and eight kilograms.
With the help of these two nutrient solutions, they can bring a lot of income to Dabazi Village.
However, the buyers Wu Dagang and his team contacted can only consume 30,000 kilograms of mushrooms a month, so it is not certain whether the extra ones can be sold.
But this is none of his business. He is only responsible for growing the mushrooms. As for selling the mushrooms, that is the job of several leaders of the production team.
I guess if the leaders of the production team knew about this, they would also be troubled.
But this is a happy trouble, and they probably wish they had more troubles like this!
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Ziwen packed up his things and came out of the configuration room.
The next thing to do is naturally to arrange the people below to do it.
However, only the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang and the other four can enter this equipped room.
This is also a little selfish of his.
This special treatment was intended to help them build prestige in the mushroom group and to prevent the recipe from being leaked.
Even though he doesn't care much about the formula, he still needs to be careful.
Just like when a chef teaches his apprentice how to cook, when it comes to the key parts, the apprentice is not allowed to even look.
The master will not teach unless you meet his requirements.
Although this practice is somewhat old-fashioned and can even be considered a bad habit.
Many valuable technologies have been lost in this way.
But this practice is very common in this era.
The practice of apprenticeship for three years and service for two years does make sense.
When the announcement of the end of work sounded outside, the people in the mushroom house cheered and happily packed up their things to go home.
Zhou Ziwen has an easygoing personality and doesn't have many requirements for the Mushroom Group. Apart from asking them to be more serious when completing their duties, everyone is like friends at other times.
He doesn't really care if we just chat or make a joke.
When it comes to work, it is important to be in a good mood so that you can be efficient.
I went home for lunch at noon. The dishes at noon were quite rich, including stir-fried liver and kidney, pickled pepper bear tripe, and pickled cabbage bear blood.
With Zhou Ziwen's help, the Chen sisters once again tasted a delicious meal.
After taking a nap at home, when he woke up from the kang, the Chen sisters had already gone to work.
On the other side, the team leader and Wu Dagang were driving a ox cart back from the commune.
Today they both went to the commune, one of them because Zhou Ziwen had hunted a bear.
He was also protecting the safety of the village and eliminating hidden dangers in advance.
After all, ferocious beasts like bears can hurt people. If you eliminate the danger in advance, the commune will give you some rewards.
Of course, this reward is not much.
The team leader and Wu Dagang worked together and after a long time of bargaining at the commune, they finally got a reward of ten yuan and a ticket for a radio.
Wu Dagang specifically requested this ticket based on Zhou Ziwen's needs.
He knew Zhou Ziwen was not short of money, so he thought of asking for this.
Otherwise, the money you get will be more than ten yuan.
Of course, going to the commune to report the news was just a side job. Their other purpose was actually to attend a meeting.
This meeting mainly focused on grain planting and land reclamation after the spring.
The commune requires that every effort be made to reclaim more land and maintain the diversity of crops.
Enriching the variety of food and growing crops with higher value is the theme of today's meeting.
To this end, the commune also prepared a lot of seeds for them, such as wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts, etc.
Some of these seeds are new crops that can increase crop yields.
Of course, these seeds will not be given to them for free. If they want to exchange them, they must pay money of corresponding value.
In addition, the commune leaders also announced a good news, which is the villagers' breeding restrictions.
The higher-ups asked them to come back and encourage everyone to let the villagers raise chickens, ducks, and even pigs.
However, there is a condition for raising pigs, which is that the first pig needs to be sold to the state.
After selling it, you will get a "pig-killing certificate".
With this certificate, next time you raise pigs, you can kill and eat them yourself.
If you don't have a pig-slaughtering license, you can't kill the pig.
Of course, if your family is well-off, you can raise two, sell one to the government, and kill and eat the other yourself.
If you can't afford to raise a pig and can only raise one, you can also raise one together with other people. In this way, during the Chinese New Year, the two families can share a pig and still have a prosperous year.
In short, this news is very beneficial to the villagers.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang and was dazed for a while. Then he called Tayun and Xiaobudian and set off from home.
Soon, he arrived at the village clinic.
The clinic has been quite quiet recently. In the past few days, only two people have come in and accidentally injured their hands.
Their wounds were so minor that they didn't even need stitches.
Zhu Jianguo disinfected them and then bandaged them with gauze and that was it.
After staying in the clinic for a while and answering a few questions from Zhu Jianguo, Zhou Ziwen left the clinic and brought Tayun and Xiaobudian to the guard team.
Now that spring has arrived, the guard team has become busy. When he arrived, several members of the guard team were resting.
Normally, the guard team consists of two shifts, one for daytime duty and the other for night duty.
"Xiao Zhou, you're finally here. If you hadn't come soon, these little things wouldn't have recognized you."
Liu Si happened to be in the room. When he saw Zhou Ziwen, he hurried over to greet him.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I just haven't been here for two days." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
He's been a bit busy these past couple of days and forgot to come and train a few of these little creatures. (End of this chapter)
