By the time the two got up from bed, it was already past noon. Ping'er brought food to them. Jun Moye looked at the charming look on Su Hanchu's eyebrows and suddenly felt that the rice in the bowl was more fragrant than usual.
Since after the rice fields are planted, the busy farming time has passed, and there will be some leisure days. With so many people in the Jun family, being idle is not the same thing.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye went up the mountain to chop more firewood and come back. After all, having to cook for so many people every day would definitely consume a lot of firewood. They also wanted to see if they could find anything valuable.
Su Hanchu, who was collecting firewood, suddenly discovered a few clusters of mushrooms growing on a dead tree, which were semicircular in shape, light gray and shiny. After some observation, he found that they were similar to modern oyster mushrooms and were completely edible.
Maybe you can try to grow various kinds of mushrooms. If you can produce them in large quantities, you can sell them in the town, and You Cha first-class people should leave the northwest recently.
Then you will be completely free. Then you can open a restaurant in the town. You will have farmed rice fish and fresh mushrooms at home. Producing and selling them yourself will definitely be very profitable.
"Jun Moye, look at this mushroom. It doesn't change color even if you cut it with a knife. This kind of mushroom is edible."
Jun Moye squatted beside Su Hanchu and took a look.
"Well, it is indeed edible."
Su Hanchu had a smile on his face.
"Quickly, look for it. If there is such dead wood here that mushrooms can grow, there must be some dead wood. Let's find it and take it back. Maybe I can grow mushrooms myself."
At this moment, Jun Moye felt that his wife was really good at everything. He followed her to find the dead wood with mushrooms on it and spoke.
"Chuchu, is there anything else you don't know?"
When Su Han first heard this, he spoke arrogantly.
"Not yet. Are you very happy to have a good-looking and smart wife?"
Jun Moye looked at her lovingly.
"Yes, yes, I am lucky to have such a beautiful and smart wife as Chuchu."
Perhaps because the weather has entered April and the temperature is mild, the two of them found a lot of fresh mushrooms and filled the baskets. Of course, they also tied up the dead branches with mushrooms and took them back.
Back at Jun's house, Su Hanchu asked Chuntao and Okra to go to the village and collect some rice bran and corn cobs.
Wait until the two men come back with a bag of rice bran and two bags of corn cobs.
Su Hanchu asked someone to boil water in a pot and put the rice bran in the boiling water for high-temperature sterilization.
Then, after high-temperature sterilizing the kitchen knife and cutting board, chop the collected mushroom roots into fine pieces.
Then put it in the boiled and cooled water in a basin, stir it evenly, put the rice bran in it and mix it evenly, put it in a basin, cover it with a cloth that has been cooked at high temperature, put it in a cool and moist place, and then From now on, just water it three to five times a day and wait for the bacteria to grow.
Of course, the conditions for making strains are not as complete as modern times. In order for the strains to grow smoothly, Su Hanchu used spiritual spring water to water them.
Half a month later, You Cha and others had left.
Su Hanchu's bacteria had already grown. He sterilized the corn cobs he had collected before and then spread a layer of soil brought back from the woods on the ground.
Spread a layer of corn cobs, sprinkle with the spawn torn into small pieces, then spread the second layer of corn cobs, continue sprinkling the spawn, spread another layer of corn cobs, and then carry it back from the woods. Moist soil covers it.
Cover it with cloth boiled at high temperature, then compact it with wooden boards, and sprinkle it with spiritual spring water once every two days.
Su Hanchu was watering the corn cobs when suddenly Chuntao hurried over.
"Madam, Li Zheng asked everyone to gather at the dam..."
Su Hanchu put down the watering kettle.
"Chuntao, didn't you and Okra go to water the fields?"
Chuntao heard this and spoke.
"Yes, we met Zhao Shun in the east of the village. Zhao Shun was beating gongs and drums to notify every household to gather at the village dam. He happened to meet us and asked me to come back and tell the young master and his wife."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly when he heard this and asked everyone to gather. He didn't know if there was something important.
Soon everyone in the Jun family was taken to the dam.
Guanping Village Dam, most people in the village have already arrived.
Li Zheng had a smile on his face, and there were a dozen people he didn't know around him. There was a table next to him with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and a box of red clay.
Su Hanchu was wondering why so many unknown people were here, and the smile on Zhao Lizheng's face looked a bit flattering no matter how he looked at it.
Zhao Lizheng saw that everyone was almost there, even if one or two people from one family were missing occasionally, it would not affect his announcement.
"Everyone, I have brought you all together today, and I have some great news to tell you. The Mr. Yan next to me is a big businessman who has been traveling all over the world for many years. He came to us today because he wants to talk to us. We’re talking about a big deal, and I’ll let Mr. Yan say a few words to everyone.”
Mr. Yan smiled when he heard this and even cupped his hands.
"Everyone, it is fate that I come to Guanping Village today. The land in Guanping is very suitable for planting fruit trees. My Yan family is determined to build an orchard here, so I want to buy the land in your hands. I have prepared it here. I have received the official documents, and as long as you sign today, our Yan family can give you a sum of money immediately."
The villagers heard the whispers.
"Buying land?"
"You're actually buying our land?"
"This is not okay. This land is the life of our people."
Su Hanchu frowned slightly and looked at Jun Moye, who also looked solemn.
Seeing that everyone did not answer his words, Mr. Yan looked at Li Zheng and winked.
Zhao Li was watching everyone speak.
"Everyone, this is a great thing. We work hard all year round farming, but we can't earn much money, and sometimes we even don't have enough to eat. Why don't we sell the land to Mr. Yan's family, and we will have a lot of money immediately. , I have made an agreement with Mr. Yan that I can work in Mr. Yan’s orchard from now on, and my life will be much better than now."
Aunt Zhou, who is usually the most active, was the first to stand up and speak.
"Li Zheng, you are Li Zheng from our Guanping Village, how can you talk to outsiders? We have been living on a few acres of land at home all year round, how can you let us sell it?"
A few brave ones also spoke up.
"How can we sell this land? Land is the life of our people, and our family won't sell it anyway."
"Our family is also unwilling to sell. Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations. How can we just sell it?"
Zhao Lizheng felt a little guilty when he heard this, but he smiled coquettishly.
"Aunt Zhou, I am doing this for everyone's benefit. After all, Mr. Yan has a document from the government in his hand, which means that the local government has agreed to sell it to Mr. Yan. Everyone will be happy when they get the money."
When Su Hanchu looked at Zhao Lizheng, he was afraid that Zhao Lizheng had been bribed. How could this common people's land be easily sold?
Although Aunt Zhou is usually enthusiastic, she also has a somewhat fiery personality.
"Li Zheng, if your family wants to sell it, that's your family's business. Anyway, our Zhou family won't sell it."
Most of the people also spoke.
"Yes, we don't sell them either."
There was a trace of anger in Young Master Yan's eyes.
"Everyone, we have got the documents from the government. It is not up to you whether to sell the land or not. I have prepared the terms for selling the land. I will give you eight taels of silver per acre. This is already a high price. The land deed documents have been prepared. Okay, let’s sign and seal the money one by one, and we are all happy when we get the money.”
Su Hanchu was about to say something, but Aunt Zhou spoke first with an angry look on her face.
"We've already said we won't sell it, how can a few of them be so bad? Today, even if they say it all, our land won't be sold."
Mr. Yan looked fierce and slapped Aunt Zhou on the face.
"Sure enough, ignorant village women are ignorant. The government agrees, and you Zhengzheng agrees. What qualifications do you have to disagree? My Yan family has bought this land today."
