Kaoshan Village is located in the south, and the current temperature is around 20 degrees. At this time, it is suitable to plant some oyster mushrooms and Coprinus comatus.
If the weather gets cooler, you will need to use a greenhouse.
The several large thatched houses in my yard at the foot of the mountain are now put to good use.
If the planting goes well, Liu An'an wants to take Village Chief Zhou, Hu Zi's father, and Aunt Tian to plant together, which can be regarded as repaying their help to his family.
After returning home, Liu Anan took out the remaining fresh mushroom powder, and shopkeeper Fan would arrange for someone to pick it up.
"Mom, I want to grow mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms and Coprinus comatus. They can be made into fresh mushroom powder, and can also be used for stir-frying and making soup. They are delicious and nutritious."
Liu Yue's eyes lit up and she said happily: "I remembered, you brought Zhuangzhuang back a few days ago and picked those mushrooms, right? They taste very delicious."
"Mom, I use a few thatched cottages at the bottom of the mountain for planting. Shopkeeper Fan said he will harvest as much as he wants. His boss not only has a food shop like Laikechun, but also a warehouse and other businesses. He can use it in his shop and sell it to surrounding areas. .”
Of course, Liu Anan also told her mother that she would plant the mushrooms at home first. If the mushrooms come out smoothly, she would plant them with Village Chief Zhou, Hu Zidad, and Aunt Tian.
Fresh mushroom powder requires a large amount, and my family’s production is too small.
And now that the family has some wealth, they can take Village Chief Zhou and the others with them.
One is to repay others' kindness, and the other is that if everyone is prosperous together, one's own home will not be too conspicuous.
Of course Liu Yue understood her daughter's intention, so she agreed very much.
Towards evening, an uninvited guest came to the house. Shopkeeper Fan personally accompanied the third young master.
The third young master insisted on meeting Liu Anan, which made Shopkeeper Fan so worried that he had no choice but to comply.
When Chu Xuan saw Liu Anan, his heart moved.
The twelve-year-old girl is cool and cold, with dazzling peach blossom eyes. There is still a trace of childishness on her face, but her eyes are neither humble nor overbearing.
"Girl An'an, this is the third young master of the Chu family of our employer." Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly introduced Liu Anan.
"Hello, Third Young Master." Liu Anan met Third Young Master Chu openly.
"Miss Liu, I heard Shopkeeper Fan tell you about your cooperation with Laikechun. If you don't mind, can I take a look when you are growing mushrooms? Don't worry, I'm just interested. I don't want to see how you grow them. , I’ll come when the mushrooms come out, is that okay?”
Chu Xuan didn't know why, but there were many things about this little girl that he didn't understand.
The temperament in your bones can't lie. How could a farm boy who grew up in the village have such a temperament?
"Okay, when the mushrooms come out, I'll invite the third young master to come."
"Okay, if you need help, you can go directly to Lao Fan."
Third Young Master Chu and Liu Anan had a very good chat. The more they talked, the more surprised Third Young Master Chu was. This little girl was born to do business.
Liu Anan also felt that the third young master of the Chu family was too shrewd and was simply the ceiling among vixens.
The two people kept going back and forth, testing each other.
Shopkeeper Fan thought proudly: I am so discerning!
In the end, Mr. Chu and Shopkeeper Fan finished their meal at home before leaving.
Liu Anan is a man of action and does what he says.
It took only a few days to arrange the house at the foot of the mountain.
For the sake of convenience, I dug a well in the yard. I drew the drawing myself and asked the blacksmith shop in the town to make a watering kettle. By the way, the drawing of the watering kettle was sold to the blacksmith shop for one tael of silver.
Liu Anan was very happy to receive a small amount of money from time to time.
Mushrooms were planted in the house down the mountain. Liu Anan had other things to do, so his mother took care of them most of the time.
Liu An'an found that her mother was smiling more and more now, and she was becoming more positive. The soft and weak look she had before had been gone for a long time.
Also, people always grow up quickly after experiencing ups and downs, and Liu Yue was not surprised.
On this day, Liu Anan did not go into the mountains. This time he only planted two kinds of oyster mushrooms and coprinus mushrooms. This was also to see the effect. The third young master of the Chu family came to visit again.
"Miss Liu, the third young master and I want to see the mushrooms."
Shopkeeper Fan explained his intention with a smile.
Liu Anan said with a smile: "Of course, I'm still thinking about going to the county to tell the shopkeeper in the next two days." After that, he took the two of them into the planting room.
The temperature in the room is suitable, the humidity is just right, and a piece of fresh mushrooms appears before your eyes.
"Shopkeeper Fan, Third Young Master, this one is oyster mushroom, and the other one is Coprinus comatus. Coprinus comatus has a shorter fruiting cycle than oyster mushrooms. You two are here by chance today, so you can try it first."
Liu Anan picked some Coprinus comatus mushrooms and planned to use the Coprinus comatus mushrooms to fry shredded pork, make a soup, and make a cold salad.
Shopkeeper Fan and Third Young Master Chu were not polite and followed Liu Anan up the mountain.
Liu Anan cooks the lunch meal.
Third Young Master Chu was very interested in Zhuang Zhuang, and together with Xiao Muyang, the monkeys, one big and one small, actually had a lot of fun. Liu Yue was chatting with Shopkeeper Fan in the courtyard.
The food was quickly served on the table, and neither Shopkeeper Fan nor Third Young Master Chu was polite.
Since we are partners, we must treat each other with sincerity. Besides, even Chef Huang praised Liu Anan's cooking skills.
"The taste of this Coprinus comatus is very fresh and tender. It's called Coprinus comatus but it doesn't taste like chicken." Chu Sanshao said after taking a bite.
"The Coprinus comatus looks like a chicken leg, and the texture of the meat tastes like stringy chicken, but it does not taste like chicken. It is rich in nutrients and has an excellent taste."
Liu Anan gave the third young master a detailed introduction while eating.
"How does Miss Liu know this?"
Third Young Master Chu asked strangely.
He knew that Liu Anan had lived in Kaoshan Village for ten years. Where did a child who grew up in a farm family learn that?
Liu Anan glanced at Mr. Chu, "Although my mother didn't remember the past, when she was rescued by Wang Fugui, the only piece of jewelry she had was pawned by the Wang family for ten taels of silver, so my mother came from a wealthy family. You must be right, my mother has eaten these Coprinus comatus before."
Liu Yue's brows jumped a few times as she listened to her daughter's serious words.
On the other hand, he said calmly: "In the past two years, I have been reminded of some previous episodes. I have indeed seen and eaten this Coprinus comatus."
"Mrs. Liu, do you still remember where your home is?" Shopkeeper Fan knew about the Liu family and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't remember too much. I just remember that there are many maids and mothers-in-law at home. It doesn't matter whether I can remember them or not. With An An and Mu Yang, I am very satisfied with my life now."
Liu Yue looked at the pair of children, her eyes filled with happiness.
Shopkeeper Fan and Third Young Master Chu both agreed.
There has been no news about An Anniang's family for so many years, and she doesn't want to look for them anymore. It's better to live peacefully like this.
"Third Young Master, you also know that the village depends on the sky for food. Many kind-hearted villagers secretly help us. My mother can leave the Wang family smoothly, thanks to the village chief and the others. I want to take the village chief and the others to farm together. Mushrooms, only in this quantity can we come up with them.”
After dinner, Liu Anan told her his plan.
Now that she has some savings in her hand, she wants to make money with other people she has good connections with, including Uncle Yi's family.
"I also support An'an's idea. We, the ladies, need to take root here and have help from the village."
In fact, Liu Yue had another meaning. She didn't want her home to be too conspicuous and be remembered.
Shopkeeper Fan and Third Young Master Chu nodded after hearing this.
"Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu are right. The mushrooms grown by these participating families will be harvested in the coming spring. It is inevitable that a family with a wealthy life will be jealous of others, and you have no background. This will benefit both parties."
Chu Sanshao pointed out the pros and cons in just a few words.
This is exactly what Liu Anan thought about.
Give everyone a way to make money, repay the original kindness, and the future will depend on their own abilities.
