Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 638 Hiding and Tucking

It is summer now, so accommodation and food are not that troublesome. Moreover, everything here in Baijinbei is very thoughtful and everything that needs to be purchased has been purchased. Zeng Zhengye and his party can live in a convenient and comfortable place.

The people in Baijia Village also learned that these people were the people Bai Kangyuan mentioned before, who were going to teach everyone in the village to grow mushrooms, and they were all very respectful and enthusiastic.

This house delivers some eggs, that house delivers some white noodles, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. You can say that everything is delivered to your door.

Some families were living a tight life and had little to offer. Seeing that Zeng Zhengye and his party were all men, they helped with some laundry work so that the older men would not have to worry about such trivial matters. .

Zeng Zhengye and his party saw that the people in Baijia Village valued and respected them. They also felt that the villagers in Baijia Village were simple and down-to-earth. They also had a very good impression of Baijia Village, so they were particularly attentive to growing mushrooms.

 To grow mushrooms, you must first build a mushroom shed.

 It needs to be moist, warm, and occasionally illuminated.

Based on his past experience in growing mushrooms, Zeng Zhengye discussed with Bai Jinbei and occupied the open space at the entrance of the village and built a mushroom shed.

The walls are made of green bricks, and the roof is made of wood. Instead of tiles, straw and hemp straw are woven into a thick felt, which is spread on top like a roller blind.

 The walls of the mushroom shed should also have large enough windows and be covered with such thick felt to ensure sufficient temperature and make it easy to open for ventilation and cooling when overheating.

 After building the mushroom shed, it is time to start planting the strains brought by Zeng Zhengye.

 Mix the cob core with cotton shells, sawdust, etc., and grind it into fine pieces to serve as soil for the growth of the bacteria. Keep the whole thing moist and clean, and wait quietly for the mushrooms to grow slowly.

Zeng Zhengye and others taught very carefully, and the people who worked in the mushroom shed in Baijiacun also studied very seriously.

 The work of growing mushrooms started in full swing.

 At the end of July, the mushroom shed harvested the first batch of mushrooms—straw mushrooms.

Straw mushrooms grow very fast and can mature in about 20 days, while other common shiitake mushrooms take three times as long.

 Next, we started to harvest oyster mushrooms and other mushroom species.

　 Straw mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms purchased from the sidelines, the workshop began to make the first batch of mushroom sauce.

 Following Sumalan's excellent recipe for making mushroom sauce, the resulting mushroom sauce is fragrant and delicious. It is excellent whether it is mixed with rice, mixed with noodles, or used as a condiment for wine and dishes.

 The first batch of mushroom sauce was first sent to Wu Ji, Qili Xiang, and Liu’s Braised Pork Shop for trial sales.

 The situation of trial sales is just like the current situation of the mushroom shed, which is booming.

“It’s only been two months since I got here, and the situation is much better than I expected.”

On an August night, it was neither too hot nor too cold, and the bright moon was in the sky. Zeng Zhengye and Bai Shitang were drinking tea and talking in the courtyard.

Zeng Zhengye later built this house by himself. Bai Kangyuan found a suitable land in Baijia Village and called people in the village for help.

 The yard with two entrances is spacious enough, and the house is large enough for Zeng Zhengye and all the workers he brought with him.

"But let me see, you have only used 30% of your ability." Bai Shitang said, "Why, are you still planning to hide it?"
