Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 231 What did you want to say just now?
"Besides this matter, there is one more thing! This matter is more important, so listen to me! Cough——"

On the other side of the voice, Zhao Hongbing coughed twice seriously, and then continued: "The grove at the foot of Nanshan next to the drainage ditch is now designated as an experimental field!"

He happened to be near Zhao Hongbing's gate, and when he heard the word "experimental field", Si Ningning frowned in a daze. Could it be... the experimental field she thought of?

A lot of people had already surrounded the gate of Zhao Hongbing's house, and it was difficult to get closer. Si Ningning thought that he could hear it clearly anyway, so he simply stopped at the alley and listened silently, and did not approach the gate over there. .

In the crowd, someone soon voiced doubts: "Captain, what is an experimental field? Is it the same as the one who released satellites before and said that he could produce [-] catties of wheat per mu?"

"Go, go, go! Have you never planted land or what? Those with a yield of [-] jin per mu are fools! Now the commune won't let you mention it!" Someone answered quickly instead of Zhao Hongbing.

In the courtyard, Zhao Hongbing stood on the raised wellhead covered with stone slabs, wrinkled his black face and waved his hands impatiently, "Don't mention the past! Let's not engage in those fancy things, let's just say that, this time The circled land is used for growing mushrooms! For raising ducks, fish, sheep, etc., our production team is at a disadvantage in terms of terrain, so we can’t do it all, but mushrooms are different!”

"In previous years, during the rainy season, the wives on our team took time to go up the mountain. Not to mention going in, wouldn't they be able to bring back a lot of fungus even at the foot of the mountain? Tell me, the environment in our field is so suitable for growing fungus, if we can After mastering the method of growing fungi, are you afraid that you won’t be able to start a sideline business?”

This sounds reasonable at first glance, but...

The crowd was silent for a moment, and soon someone yelled and questioned: "But captain, people don't care whether they raise sheep or fish or ducks, they are all meat! And I heard that the wool of sheep can be scraped to make textiles. They all take up the bulk. Not to mention that our, our mushrooms are vegetarian, and there are... grown in the mountains, can anyone want them? Can they be sold at a high price?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a "buzzing" sound immediately, and the members who surrounded Zhao's door turned their heads and muttered softly.

Yes!

Although getting rich from a sideline business can help everyone improve their lives, if everyone does the same level of work as those production teams that raise fish and ducks, but their income falls by half, or even more than half, what do you think? Neither can be balanced.

Once the heart is unbalanced, can you still do the work practically?
The reason why Zhao Hongbing brought up the "experimental field" was because he felt that Si Ningning was right two nights ago.

Mushrooms are still in the experimental stage and are not suitable for large-scale promotion. Expanding the scope of the experiment will help the sideline business to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Zhao Hongbing will talk about the matter and refer to Si Ningning's opinion. He is afraid that the experimental products will be planted by then. Before seeing the effect, it was sent home by others.

Now that Zhao Hongbing has mentioned this matter, it means that he has thought it over in his heart.

Seeing the direction of the wind turned, Zhao Hongbing coughed a few times, and said seriously: "This sideline business has not started yet, you are only looking at the profit? Have you thought about how much hardship you have put in?"

While talking, Zhao Hongbing counted for everyone with his fingers, "Fish and duck should be raised from seedlings, right? Should we always pay attention to the water level? Ducks have laid eggs in the water, do you want to go into the water to pick them up? Poultry Large-scale breeding is also afraid that it will get sick, so feeding the feed that strengthens the physique will require manpower and financial resources?"

Zhao Hongbing raised his left hand high and rubbed his first three fingers together, meaning money, "How long does it take to fish and ducks to be salvaged, caught and sold for work points? They are a little bigger, so do you have to arrange several people to take turns to guard against them at night?" Was it stolen?"

A series of rhetorical questions were thrown out, and the crowd was speechless. Zhao Hongbing continued to say firmly at this moment: "I will leave the words here, our fungus is still in the experimental stage, and if it really succeeds in the future, the profit may not be huge. It’s worse than other people raising fish and ducks!”

"Ah, ah, how do you say this?"

The commune members were dizzy and couldn't turn their heads.

Zhao Hongbing snorted, and said with a smirk: "The fish and ducks are harvested once a year or so, how many stubbles can the fungus harvest in a year?"

In the wild, fungi grow on rotten wooden stakes, and they can grow well without human care in a messy and poor environment. If they can figure out the fungus' preferences through human intervention, wouldn't it be more effective to plant them then?
"!"

The crowd was silent again, but only for a moment, a deafening discussion suddenly broke out:
"Yes, yes! After what the captain said, I think it is feasible!"

"Then this thing is really tricky!"

"But captain, how do you grow this fungus? We don't know how to do it either!"

"Yes, yes! Then how can we fix this?"

Facing the questions from the members, Zhao Hongbing waved his hands to appease him: "Although it is still in the experimental stage, a planting method has been approved, and it will take a few days to know more about it. Anyway, I will tell you, Nanshan If you want to look at the feet, you can go and have a look, just be careful, don't touch or damage things! Those are experimental products, and don't pick them if they grow fungus!"

"I'll let Lao Tzu know who sneakily broke the test fungus later, and see if I don't punish him with a hundred or ten work points, and pick the one who has been shitting for a year!"

After speaking, Zhao Hongbing's tone became rough, and the members rubbed the back of their heads with a smile, and quickly said no, they must supervise each other.

After listening to this passage, Si Ningning probably understood what was going on. She straightened her backpack strap with her slender thumb and planned to go to the foot of Nanshan Mountain to have a look, but as soon as she turned around, she plunged into a firm, hot chest that smelled of sweat.

"Well……"

His nose hurt so much, Si Ningning covered the tip of his nose, bowed and took a few steps back in pain.

Huo Lang followed her for two steps, clasped her wrist and pulled her hand away, and looked at her red nose, "How do you turn around and turn around? Does it hurt?"

Si Ningning opened Huo Lang's hand and glanced at the people outside the alley. She walked into the alley with two steps, and stared at Huo Lang angrily with round deer eyes, "The bridge of my nose is almost gone! Do you think it hurts?" ?”

After bluffing for a while, Si Ningning let out a "hum" and said in a dissatisfied voice, "It's fine if you're out of nowhere, and you stand behind people and don't make a sound. Are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Seeing that you listened carefully, I didn't disturb you."

Si Ningning's cheeks were flushed, and it looked like he was really angry.

Huo Langnan explained. Seeing that Si Ningning was still puffing up his cheeks, he raised his eyebrows and continued to ask in a hoarse and coaxing voice: "Would you like to go to the foot of the mountain? Go for a walk in the mountain along the way." One lap? The last crop of Crickets, after these few days, I won’t be able to eat them again this year.”

Si Ningning did not ignore the teasing in Huo Lang's eyes, although he was still a little angry, but he pursed his red lips, Si Ningning rolled his eyes at Huo Lang, twisted his neck and raised his chin, pretending to be magnanimous: "Tsk , since you are so sincere, then I forgive you."

Tsundere for a second, and seeing no one outside the alley in the next second, Si Ningning grabbed Huo Lang's wrist, happily driving Huo Lang to run, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up!"

Usually working in the production team is not tiring, but I always feel that life is a bit rigid and boring. Only in the mountains can Si Ningning feel short-term relaxation and carefreeness.

After such a long time, Si Ningning went up the mountain again, and Si Ningning felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Ha ha--"

Si Ningning's eyes were bent, his lips were slightly pursed, and the soft hair on his forehead was blown up by the wind while he was running. His smile was bright and cheerful. Whether it was in terms of appearance, manner, or voice and eyes, Si Ningning couldn't help but smile. One step shows youthful vigor and vigor.

very healing...

It's hard not to let the people around you empathize with that kind of joy.

Huo Lang raised his brows slightly, his eyes fell, and fell on Si Ningning's hand that was holding his wrist.

Although the two had held hands several times before, it was the first time that Si Ningning took the initiative to pull him up.

how to say?

It feels even more amazing.

Feeling numb in my heart, I have an inexplicable urge to raise the corners of my lips to show off my face and smile.

My heartbeat is also "pounding", it seems to be more vigorous and intense than when I first boarded a fighter jet drill when I was a teenager.

If only it could go on like this forever.

"Ugh……"

Huo Lang couldn't restrain himself from sighing softly, and when he realized what he was thinking, he froze for a while.

Because he suddenly discovered that what he expected was not just to maintain the scene in front of him.

A heart has changed unconsciously.

For Si Ningning, Huo Lang went from being alienated at the beginning to appreciating, then from appreciating to subconsciously protecting, and now those small thoughts and small emotions can no longer satisfy his inner expectations. very scary.

Because he... seems to have developed a desire to possess Si Ningning.

He didn't want to let Si Ningning go, nor did he want others to get close to Si Ningning.

However, can these words be said?
Is Si Ningning willing to listen?
Will she be angry?Think he meddles too much?Since then, you don't want to associate with him?
"manage……"

After thinking about it, the reaction came back that Huo Lang had already opened his mouth, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Si Ningning's sudden turn of the head.

"The captain said to organize everyone to go to the brigade when work is off in the afternoon. You want to maintain order. Do you want to go there early?"

The words were interrupted, Huo Lang's Adam's apple twitched, and he nodded before he nodded, "Yes, but it doesn't need to be too long in advance. The production teams nearby are all acquaintances, so I'm sorry to make a fuss."

Si Ningning heard the overtones, turned his pupils, and asked, "You go to another brigade to help, and the members over there won't cooperate?"

"It's not a lack of cooperation, but there are small frictions." Huo Lang said truthfully.

Si Ningning let out an "oh", lowered his eyelids and nodded clearly.

There will be small frictions...that means there will still be some people who will not cooperate.

It is true to say that, in addition to bullying the weak, some people will also bully the innocent.

Huo Lang is the captain of the security team, and he has an imposing manner. It is impossible to bully him, but if he really encounters one or two unreasonable and messy people, it is also possible that the work process will not be so smooth.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning tilted his head and smiled at Huo Lang, "Thanks for your hard work."

Huo Lang was stunned for a moment, and realized what the phrase "hard work" meant. He shook his head indulgently and helplessly, "You shouldn't be the one to say this."

"It doesn't matter what anyone says, at least it proves that someone knows and saw your hard work." Si Ningning's lips curled up slightly.

During the conversation, the two had arrived at the experimental field surrounded by Zhao Hongbing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Si Ningning let go of Huo Lang's hand, looked sideways at the so-called "experimental field" and asked, "Did you just want to talk? I interrupted... what were you trying to say at that moment?"

"If you don't tell me, I'd have forgotten about it." Huo Lang leaned against the tree, stroked his forehead back with his big palm, pretending it wasn't important, and said, "I wanted to talk just now, but you interrupted me." After a while, I forgot what to say.”

"Can't remember now?" Si Ningning frowned suspiciously.

Holland nodded calmly.

"Alright." Si Ningning sighed.

It shouldn't really be an important thing, or else I wouldn't have forgotten it so thoroughly.

Si Ningning didn't take it to heart after thinking about it, and bowed down to look at the "experimental field" seriously.

In fact, Huo Lang didn't forget, but he just didn't know how to speak.

Huo Lang had a clear feeling for Si Ningning, but after careful investigation, the two of them didn't know each other for long. If he said those words now, Si Ningning would feel troubled, right?

Huo Lang raised his arched eyebrows, stared at Si Ningningying's white side face for a while with deep peach eyes, and finally chose to temporarily hide his feelings.

There is no rush for emotional matters.

Moreover, Huo Lang has a clear goal in his heart.

He didn't force Si Ningning to like him, or to respond to his feelings.

But what is certain is that he absolutely does not want Si Ningning to hate him.

After thinking about this point, his mood brightened for a short while. Huo Lang's slightly frowning brows were lightly relaxed, and he stretched out his hand towards Si Ningning, who was seriously looking at the wood, "Are you tired from carrying the bag? Pass it here and I'll get it for you."

Si Ningning didn't hesitate, and seemed to be quite at ease with Huo Lang. He took off the bag without looking at the exact range of Huo Lang, and passed it behind him, regardless of whether Huo Lang could catch it or not, he let go of it, "I I really underestimated the captain, I thought he didn’t understand anything, but... have you seen that? These logs have been soaked in water!"

The so-called "experimental field" is actually not a real field, but two rows of shelves set up in a well shape with two to four meters of wood.

The wood is solid wood, not fluffy wood like rotten wood, so even after being soaked in water, the water absorption capacity is very limited. Large, while the fungus is moldy and rotten.

Moreover, the wood is erected in a well-shaped shape, which allows the bacteria to be concentrated for planting and cultivation as much as possible, and ensures maximum ventilation without occupying more space.

Huo Lang narrowly caught Si Ningning's backpack. Hearing what Si Ningning said, he glanced back and forth a few times. He didn't know anything about growing mushrooms, so he asked, "Is this possible?"

Off topic:
Purslane was mentioned in the previous chapters, and I only know now that it is called purslane (xian), and we call it jian there. . .
