Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 260 Status Quo, Planning

"Si Zhiqing, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have made arrangements for these few days." Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and explained:
"The big guys don't have time to spare when they go to the field during the day, so, during the day, you and Jiang Zhiqing will come. Every household has something to do, so you can't all come. Let them have one person, and Xu Zhiqing and the others smoke every night. Take turns for an hour, an hour and a half."

Si Ningning nodded, "That's fine, Captain, you can make arrangements, and we will listen to your arrangements."

Zhao Hongbing waved his hands with a "hehe" smile, "I've seen everything here, so let's go to the experimental field to have a look? Plan the mushroom thing too?"

As soon as Zhao Hongbing said this, Si Ningning knew that he already had an idea in his mind, so he nodded again and said, "OK."

Then she waited silently for Zhao Hongbing to speak. When Zhao Hongbing spoke, she listened carefully:

"I was thinking that the mushroom thing would have to be worked out, but how could it be so easy? Zhiqing Si owes it all to you cultivating that, uh...mushroom seeds!"

In Si Ningning's eyes, the general or even unsatisfactory harvest results seemed to Zhao Hongbing's eyes to be a great surprise, and he was very satisfied.

Thinking about it, it’s not incomprehensible. In this era, all kinds of materials are in short supply, the commune’s quota of chemical fertilizers cannot be competed, manpower cannot be supplied, and crop harvests are not so ideal. Of course, expectations for mushrooms are not very high.

"No, I just studied it casually... This matter is not that difficult, just pay more attention to some details. Later, if the captain finds a suitable candidate, I can hand it over to everyone, and everyone can try to cultivate it at that time."

"I think this arrangement will work, but there's no rush right now. This year, the mushrooms will be experimenting with the field, and when we go back into the winter, we'll organize people to clean up those vacant places. So this kind of aspect..."

Zhao Hongbing paused for a moment, and continued with a "hehe" sound: "You are still the educated youth, and you will get work points for this matter. Except for the literacy class, you will get an extra [-] work points at the end of each month. Do you think it will work?"

Zhao Hongbing's words were mostly based on solicitation. Si Ningning said that it was not difficult or troublesome, but whether this is the case, Zhao Hongbing is really uncertain whether it is true or not, and the difficulties of other scholars and their rough definitions of ideas may also be different. It's a little different.

The [-] work points Zhao Hongbing was really afraid that the pay would be short, so he added, "It's not stable now, so I can't promise you. When the mushrooms grow steadily, you can go there and get them if you want to eat mushrooms later. Look. Will it work?"

At the moment, others may not be able to handle the cultivation of bacteria, but it is not difficult for Si Ningning. He can do it with a little patience, and as long as he keeps it well, he can use it for a long time...

Si Ningning doesn't think his labor is cheap, but in terms of facts, it's really enough to add thirty extra work points a month. As for the mushrooms, it doesn't matter. If you want to eat educated youth, you can also order some rotten wood by the well in front of the door. point.

But you can bargain when you buy things. Others will calculate your wages for you. If there is less, you can negotiate and add more. How can others give you more, and you will subtract the less?
Si Ningning nodded: "Okay, but Captain, the process of cultivating mycelia requires alcohol and some transparent sealed bottles... Well, it should be a canned bottle, just a few."

"Alcohol is a consumable that will be used every time, and the higher the concentration, the better."

If Zhao Hongbing bought something, Si Ningning could use it "slowly" if he had space, but some things had to be clarified.

If you don’t mention this matter, Zhao Hongbing will find someone to come over to learn from her later. When they find out that alcohol and other things are needed, they may be grateful to you at the first time, but they will also be surprised that you don’t mention these things. Instead, pay for it yourself...

People don't necessarily have evil in their hearts, and Si Ningning doesn't want to think so badly about people.

She wants to use her own ability to drive and help people around her, but she has to be careful in everything, and being too kind will cause others to be suspicious, and finally cause mental and physical exhaustion, which is not what she wants.

Zhao Hongbing nodded knowingly, "Alcohol, cans... OK, I'll go back and pay attention to this matter. Didn't the educated youth make that mushroom seed last time, and you made all the stuff? You didn't say anything, how is that good?"

Si Ningning nodded, then shook his head again, "I brought some alcohol-iodine when I came from home, just to prevent skin scratches and minor injuries. I happened to have these on my hands when I was researching this mycelium, so I used them first. , but not too much, it will take less than two times to cultivate mycelium."

Si Ningning briefly explained why he had these things, and at the same time told Zhao Hongbing euphemistically that those iodophors and alcohol were brought here to prevent injuries, and the amount would not be much.

Zhao Hongbing scratched the back of his head twice and nodded repeatedly: "Understand, understand, I know all these things."

The little girl brought out the results of the research and let them taste the sweetness. Are they really only caring about the sweetness?
They can't share the difficulties in research, and they can always make up for part of the expenses needed in the process. If you don't know, don't talk about it, but once you know it, you can't ignore it.

What's the point of just thinking about sitting back and enjoying the benefits?

With his thoughts settled down, Zhao Hongbing turned serious, nodded seriously and said, "Young Si, you have to speak out about things like this in the future. This is a major event that benefits the production team, even the brigade, and the commune. We may not understand the details. , but if you need manpower or material support, among other things, I will try my best to fight for you in this regard!"

"Okay!" Si Ningning smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.

While talking, Si Ningning and Zhao Hongbing came to the "experimental field". Si Ningning and Zhao Hongbing chatted and watched. The mushrooms on the wooden shelves should have been harvested by cutting the bottom with a knife. Now every wooden person has a lot of aging and shrinking mushroom bases. You can vaguely see the neat oblique cuts on it.

Si Ningning looked around and pointed out the problem, "These logs are big and can be grown several times before changing the wood. However, in order not to affect the growth of the next crop of mushrooms, these low stubbles must be removed."

Zhao Hongbing listened and memorized, and when he heard Si Ningning say that the wood had to be changed every few times, he couldn't react for a long time, "This, this wood is still a consumable? Why do we need to change it?"

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's not what it meant, um..."

Si Ning Ning let out a long "huh" and explained in detail, "Even if you usually apply fertilizer to the land, the same crop cannot be planted multiple times in succession. For example, some paddy fields will be planted with soybeans after a good harvest, because soybeans have a nitrogen-fixing effect. It can increase the nitrogen element in the soil and increase the fertility of the soil.”

"The principle is actually the same. When we grow mushrooms, we also have requirements for wood, not only humidity, but also nutrition. So far, no substances or species similar to "soybean" have been found in wood that can improve and neutralize the growth environment. , then you can only plant mushrooms a few times and let the wood sit idle for a period of time, allowing it to breed bacteria and other microorganisms according to natural laws."

Si Ningning talked a lot at length, many of which Zhao Hongbing didn't quite understand, such as the nitrogen fixation of soybeans, nitrogen elements, and the microorganisms behind them, Zhao Hongbing didn't know what those were.

But there is one thing Zhao Hongbing can confirm, that is, planting soybeans can indeed fertilize the land.

Zhao Hongbing never doubted Si Ningning, and if he didn't understand it, he would only attribute it to his lack of education and shallow culture. Moreover, from what Si Ningning said, "soybeans can fertilize the land", Zhao Hongbing confirmed that Si Ningning really understood these things something, so he nodded and said:

"I probably know what's going on, but the standard of wood is still uncertain, Si Zhiqing, you need to pay more attention to this later."

"No problem." Si Ningning responded with a smile, and then gave Zhao Hongbing a few examples of things that can be used to grow mushrooms, "Sawdust, straw, and corn cobs can all be used to grow mushrooms." Mushrooms and wood chips need to use plastic film, which will cost more, and it will be more suitable for cultivating bacteria.”

"Straw and corn cobs are suitable for indoor planting, and there is no need to buy a shelf. Put a layer of plastic film on the ground, and then a layer of straw/corn cob and a layer of fungus powder. Depending on the situation, lay a few layers and finally cover with plastic film and wait. That's fine. This kind of planting method requires the bacteria sprinkled inside to develop again, and there is a growth time, so the fruiting will be slower."

"Then this mushroom...not." Zhao Hongbing mistook the straw as a mushroom, patted his mouth and continued to ask Si Ningning, "Then do the straw and corncobs of this mushroom also need to be processed? "

Si Ningning nodded, "Yes, you can boil it in a pot with high-temperature hot water, or soak it in lime water according to the proportion, it's fine."

As long as the ratio is reasonable, lime water can also achieve complete sterilization.

"Oh, so..." Zhao Hongbing nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a while and said, "Si Zhiqing, plastic film is not easy to handle, let's stick to the wood first, and if we get plastic film in the future, we will see the test. Either way, choose the best plan!"

"Captain, there is still half a year left in this year, and the mushroom business is just getting started, so don't be in a hurry."

Investment is necessary, as long as you consider growing mushrooms indoors, sooner or later the plastic film will be implemented.

But just like Zhao Hongbing said, if you want to do this, you have to experiment. These days, the industry is underdeveloped, and plastic films are not cheap.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning said, "By the way, captain, I just remembered that if high-concentration alcohol is difficult to deal with, we can find quicklime, and we can adjust the lime water ourselves later."

"Hey, okay!"

After confirming that Zhao Hongbing had finished his business, Si Ningning planned to stroll back to the educated youth spot, but only two steps away, Si Ningning turned around and called Zhao Hongbing, "Captain."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Si Ningning hesitated for a moment, and his pupils shook twice before he asked, "The captain, has Comrade Huo Lang gone out today?"

Huo Lang has an errand in the county, so he doesn't need a letter of introduction to go to the county, and the letter of introduction certificate and other documents for going out of the county to do business also come from his work unit.

Generally speaking, there is no need to inform Zhao Hongbing, but Huo Lang and Zhao Hongbing are close to each other, and Huo Lang usually takes care of the farm work on the team, so he is afraid that Zhao Hongbing will arrange things for him temporarily, and he will be delayed when he goes out. , so every time something happens, Huo Lang will come over to say hello.

What Si Ningning said was the right person to ask.

"I went, I went early in the morning, what's the matter? Educated Youth Si, what do you want with Alang?"

I went early in the morning, so I should come back earlier in the afternoon, right?

Let's go to the bamboo forest in the afternoon to have a look.

Si Ningning thought about it, shook his head with a long "hmm", smiled and waved his hands and ran back, "It's nothing, I'm going back to the captain, you should go back early, lunch is coming soon."

"Eh, good."

Zhao Hongbing responded and saw Si Ningning run away.

The work in the pigsty is temporarily unnecessary. Zhao Hongbing said that before the literacy class starts, Si Ningning can prepare more lessons.

Si Ningning has prepared a lot of short texts and simple poems of great men, and she doesn't plan to prepare any more for the time being. She plans to start classes to see the children's ability to accept them.

Although I don't plan to acquire new knowledge points, I can think of some short stories in my spare time. Using interesting allusions to teach children the principles of science and the world is often more effective than orthodox texts.

Thinking in his heart, Si Ningning had already pulled off the rope on the gate of the educated youth, went into the house and put down his backpack, then went out to close the gate, took out the ax from the space and went to the bamboo forest behind the house.

In the bamboo forest full of strong moso bamboos, we search for and collect arrow bamboo and other fine bamboos, and put the rotten wood trunks we encountered along the way into the space together.

Bamboo is shaved into bamboo poles and kept in the space for later use, and rotten wood and the like are thought that if they want to grow mushrooms in the space, they can be used as planting stakes.

Si Ningning was so busy that it was almost noon when everyone came back, and Si Ningning withdrew from the bamboo forest. He washed the sweat on his face and the black ash on his arms from the bamboo by the well, and sat down to take a breath. After entering the room, he took out the notes he got from Academician Liang.

Taking out the book that we took out from the space before and tore off the cover from the box, Si Ningning moved it to the table in the main room. Si Ningning made a glass of malted milk and sat down at the table to drink it. looked up.

Liang Qinghong is an academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Si Ningning thought that she only specialized in livestock and animal husbandry, but it was not the case, as could be seen from her notes.

Although the notebook looks broken and old, in fact, after turning over the first few pages, both the pages and the content inside are very complete, and the knowledge involved is also very extensive, including the habits of livestock and animals, as well as common diseases and diseases. For some rare but troublesome diseases, the corresponding solutions are listed together. In addition, there are some herbal medicines that I can remember very clearly...

A few days ago, when Liang Qinghong taught Si Ningning to recognize herbs, Si Ningning thought that those were used to treat livestock diseases. After reading the notes, he realized that it was not. Most of the rare or common herbs were used to treat diseases. various diseases in humans.
