Chapter 93 Mushrooms for Food (First Order) 15
"Ziwen, leaders, it's time to eat."
Just when Zhou Ziwen and the team leader were having a heated conversation, Chen Shiying came into the room.
"Captain, let's talk while we eat!" Zhou Ziwen said.
"Okay, let's eat. We've almost finished talking." Zhou Weiguo straightened himself.
"I'll go get some wine." Zhou Ziwen stood up.
How can we have a dinner without wine?
But this wine is not a good one. It is loose wine bought in the county town.
After all, people in Heijiang can drink so much, he can't afford to buy good wine, and he doesn't have that many tickets.
It’s different with loose liquor. You don’t need a ticket to buy it, you can buy it as long as you have money.
This time when he went to the county town, he bought dozens of kilograms, enough to drink for a while.
Since all the guests were men, Zhou Ziwen set up the banquet in his own house.
Speaking of which, except for the day of raising the beam, this was the second time he had eaten in his own house.
"Hey, today's table is quite rich in food. Are you expecting us to make mistakes?"
Today's dishes are indeed quite rich, including cured pig's trotters, pressed duck, and pork neck that Zhou Ziwen bought in the county town today.
There are three meat dishes alone, not to mention stir-fried mushrooms, stir-fried cabbage, and egg soup with side dishes.
This table of food, not to mention during festivals, would be a great honor even for a wedding banquet.
This is also the reason why Wu Dagang said that Zhou Ziwen wanted them to make mistakes.
"How could that be? Except for the pork neck, everything else is ready. The pig's trotters and the pressed duck are all specialties sent from home. I just want to entertain these leaders!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Actually, this thing is just that. When the village leader comes to visit his home, he can't just treat them with pickles!
We have to make something delicious.
Whether others eat or not is one thing, and whether you are prepared for something is another.
What if there is someone who is petty and feels that you have neglected him and is dissatisfied with him?
Look, seeing Zhou Ziwen prepare such a table, not to mention Zhou Weiguo and Wu Dagang, at least Wang Hongbing and Zhu Youde were quite satisfied.
"Okay, eat it all. I think this kid is scheming and dishonest." Zhou Weiguo did not comment on this, but he nodded lightly.
"Where are the two Chen sisters? Why don't they come and eat with us?" Wu Dagang asked when he saw that the Chen sisters disappeared after the dishes were served.
"They are not used to such occasions, so they are eating at home!" Zhou Ziwen explained.
"That's right. We are all men here. It's really not appropriate for them to be here." Wu Dagang nodded.
"Xiao Zhou, we've almost finished discussing this plan. We'll hold a meeting in the village tomorrow morning to announce this. You'll be the leader of the Mushroom Group. As for the personnel, I'll give you ten spots. If you find anyone suitable, you can recommend them."
"Once this project is established, I hope you will work hard. We will definitely not forget your contribution, and you will get your share of the rewards you deserve."
While Zhou Ziwen was pouring wine for them, Zhou Weiguo also gave him a reassurance.
"Okay, I will make mushroom farming the pillar industry of our production team." Zhou Ziwen was happy and promised quickly.
How could he not be happy? He hadn't even made a request yet, but the captain had already given him what he wanted.
Apart from anything else, this recommendation is a good thing.
After all, this project looks very promising, and I guess the villagers will fight for this spot.
"Captain, Uncle Wu, Captain Wang, Accountant Zhu, please try this! This is the Agaricus bisporus I planted. It's very delicious when stir-fried."
After finishing the work, the next step is to eat and drink.
Zhou Ziwen invited them to eat and toasted them one by one.
As for drinking culture, although he is not very proficient in it, he does understand some of it.
"Wow, these mushrooms taste really good. If they were all of this quality, we wouldn't have any trouble selling them!" Wu Dagang took a bite and exclaimed in praise.
"This mushroom is very good. It has a short growth period and a good yield. The key is that it is rare in our area. People usually pick it in the mountains. If you want to eat it, you have to rely on luck." Accountant Zhu Youde also expressed his opinion.
"The taste is similar. After all, they are all grown using the same cultivation method." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's implement this tomorrow. Xiao Zhou, from tomorrow on, you will be specifically responsible for this matter. If there are any problems, we will discuss and handle them in a timely manner." Zhou Weiguo said.
"It's not a big problem, but the first step is to build the mushroom house." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Everything else is easy, the most important thing is the mushroom house. Without the land, everything else is empty.
"I'll arrange this."
"It just so happens that there are almost enough stones in the threshing ground. From now on, the stonemason team will be responsible for mining stones for the mushroom house." Zhou Weiguo said without thinking.
In his mind, the mushroom house is the top priority and everything else can be postponed.
"That's no problem." Zhou Ziwen smiled, but did not immediately recommend the Chen sisters.
The recommendation quota is already a tacit matter, so there is no need to bring it up at this time.
"By the way, Xiao Zhou, you have a batch of mushrooms in your house that are about to mature, right? What are you going to do with them?"
At this time, Wu Dagang asked.
"Uncle Wu, you know how much I eat. The little food the village distributes isn't enough. My family is going to run out of food soon. I'm thinking of exchanging the remaining mushrooms for some food in the village once they're ripe."
Zhou Ziwen had a good relationship with Wu Dagang, so he didn't hide anything from him and told him his plan immediately.
"This method is indeed good, but I have a better one." Wu Dagang nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"What method?" Zhou Ziwen asked hurriedly.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he usually eats a lot of meat and fish and seems to have a good life.
But he has such a big appetite that he eats more than the two Chen sisters combined.
If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to cultivate mushrooms.
"You can give this batch of mushrooms to the production team and let them sell it. It's a good opportunity for us to test the waters and see if the mushrooms are easy to sell."
"Don't worry, we can exchange the money from the sale for food. It will be more than what you can get from the villagers yourself."
Wu Dagang looked at Zhou Weiguo and others, and at the same time told them his plan.
"This is a good idea. You have a lot of mushrooms, so we can try selling them." Zhou Weiguo nodded in agreement.
"Sure, thank you all for that. Come, let me toast you all first."
Wu Dagang’s idea was certainly good. This way, he wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of asking every village member one by one.
Just hand it over to the production team and wait for the harvest.
