After hanging up the phone, Ling Hanfang chased out and stuffed the money into Meng Qidi's hand.
“You girl said you don’t have to pay for answering the phone, it’s not easy for you to make some money.”
Seeing the two children trying every possible way to make money, Ling Hanfang really felt that it was not easy.
Unable to refuse, Meng Qidi could only continue. She glanced at Wang Hexiang who was sewing shoe soles in the yard. There were a lot of shoe soles piled in front of her.
Meng Qidi was full of surprise, "Why did Auntie give so much?"
Wang Hexiang smiled and said, "Make some warm shoes to sell. I couldn't go out in the winter before, but now I can finally go out to sell things. This can also help relieve some of the pressure on your uncle."
The team leader's salary is not high, he just earns a few more loads of millet than the villagers, and he works hard for the entire village. No one wants him to do his job anymore.
Meng Qidi's eyes flickered slightly. It would probably be hard to sell warm shoes in winter, right? If she could think of making shoes to sell, others would definitely think of it too.
Of course, she didn't discourage her. She turned her head and looked around the yard. Seeing a few pieces of wood piled up, she stood up and walked over. "Is this wood ear?"
There were clusters of black fungus growing on the damp wood.
Wang Hexiang smiled and said, "Yes, your uncle picked it up from the back hill. If you like it, you can pick it and stir-fry it for a meal."
"If we grow more of these, we can sell them for money, right?" Meng Qidi didn't pinch the fungus and sat back.
"Hey, this is not valuable. I guess no one will sell it. Shiitake mushrooms are valuable, especially the dried ones. Your uncle picked a lot in the mountains once. After we dried them, they weighed a pound and sold them for several dollars."
Dried mushrooms are valuable? Meng Qidi paused, "Then you can grow mushrooms..."
"We want to, but we don't know how..." Wang Hexiang sighed.
Ling Hanfang moved it and handed it to Meng Qidi later, "We also tried to get back the piece of mud where the mushrooms grew, but they didn't grow at all. Sit down."
Meng Qidi sat down, "Mud? Shiitake mushrooms can be grown artificially..."
She paused. The method of growing mushrooms was not in the space computer.
She knew this in her previous life. A young couple who came back from working in the village were doing this again. She was helping out at that time and was familiar with almost all the procedures.
"What, what artificial planting? Xiaoqi, can you tell me in detail?" Wang Hexiang asked hurriedly.
Ling Hanfang laughed and said, "You also know how to grow mushrooms? Did you do it with your teacher in the house? That won't do. You guys should do it yourselves. As your elder, there is no reason for me to take advantage of you."
"Then how about we cooperate? I pay the money and you do the work?"
Meng Qidi was helpless. She really wanted to help the captain, as he had helped the Ling family a lot.
Wang Hexiang gently kicked the man, "Xiao Qi, how do you want to cooperate?"
Is this man stupid? Can't he see that Xiaoqi just wants to help the family?
Luo Xia's family is five generations away from Sister Jinhua, and they are all helping each other. They are still relatives, so why should they refuse?
Besides, they are not taking advantage of Xiaoqi, cooperation, what is this called? Yes, win-win!
The wife was not polite, and Ling Hanfang was helpless, "Then how about you pay? Since it's a cooperation, of course everyone has to pay."
"Yes, our family will also pay."
The couple insisted, and Meng Qidi had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll tell you what we need. First, we need a room. If you don't have an empty room at home, you can go to Ling Laosi's place and he can clear out a room for you."
The couple looked at each other and remembered, "There is one at home."
"Then we need to prepare the shelves. It depends on the size of the room. There should be a shelf every half a meter, similar to a shelf."
Ling Hanfang nodded, "We can ask Lao Yang to fight a few of these guys."
"I also need some film paper and some hemp."
Wang Hexiang asked, "Then what?"
Fortunately, these don’t cost much.
“And then it might cost money.”
Meng Qidi smiled and said, "We need to find more sawdust and wheat bran candy. If it's hard to make, we can just use wood. If we use wood, we don't need a film."
Ling Hanfang said, "Since you said you want sawdust, then we have sawdust. Old Yang's family has it. Just go buy it. What else do you need?"
"I'll help you find the fungus strains. You guys will be responsible for the sawdust and the racks. Also, the film should be as thick as possible, the kind used to cover the seedlings..."
Wang Hexiang quickly asked, "Xiaoqi, you mean to bag all the sawdust, right?"
Meng Qidi nodded.
"Then just order it." Wang Hexiang said, "What else do you need?"
"For humidity, you need to sprinkle water three times a day. Also, prepare a few blades. When mushrooms grow, you need to cut the oil paper."
"That's all?"
Meng Qidi nodded, "That's all for now."
Ling Hanfang didn't know where he got a notebook from. "Then let's divide the work. Xiaoqi will be responsible for the fungus strains. The wooden frames, sawdust and other miscellaneous things will be mine. Hehua will be responsible for the film bags. Keep a record of how much money you spend. We'll talk about it after we get back. Do you have any objections?"
Meng Qidi sighed, "No problem."
She was really forced...
The county probably didn't have the strain, so Ling Xiao could only ask the old man to go find him. So Meng Qidi called again...
They agreed and said it would arrive in ten days at the earliest.
Now that the fungus strain was sorted out, Ling Hanfang and his wife went about their business.
Without having to get involved in either business, Meng Qidi went straight back, took a walk in the backyard, and watered the tea trees on the back hill with well water.
After not being taken care of for a long time, this tea tree has grown a lot. It is estimated that it will be ready for picking in two years.
Perhaps due to the blessing of the well water, the two stars by the stream and to the west actually sprouted sharp fangs.
"If the tea leaves picked now were not as good as those before Qingming Festival, I would have picked them too."
Wang Jinhua came back from the village with a bunch of vegetables. Seeing Xiaoqi next to the tea tree, she walked over.
Meng Qidi glanced at the tree and said, "How about trying something?"
There is latex in the well water, and the tea grown there must be extraordinary.
"I'll get the dustpan."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law plucked the tea tree on the west side, and also the one by the stream. They pinched the tips of their teeth. The tree was too tall, so Meng Qidi had to move the stairs to climb the tree.
Since we were picking, we naturally picked all of them. We picked two full bushes of tea tips from the two tea trees.
Meng Qidi didn't know how to make tea, so she had to hand it all over to Wang Jinhua. She took the fishing net and led Xiao Chengzi to go fishing in the front.
I've been busy with the college entrance exam and working on biogas, so I didn't have time to catch these fish. It just so happened that I caught some today, and I wanted to see how many there were, to see if they were enough to make cured fish. If not, I'll catch the ones in the lotus pond as well.
Put the fishing net into the water and put some rice soaked in Yuquan water in the net. How much rice can enter depends on the effect of the Yuquan water.
Afraid that Xiaochengzi would fall into the water, Meng Qidi put down the fishing net and carried the little girl back to the house.
Half an hour later, a man came over carrying a large bucket.
Of course, the bucket was placed on this side of the canal. There was no one in front of it, and she planned to put the fish and the fishing net directly into the space later.
After all, it was a possibility, so it was better to be on the safe side, otherwise she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold the fishing net.
