After discussing some details of cooperation, it was agreed that the first batch of mushrooms would be harvested in five days.
Shopkeeper Fan and Third Young Master Chu returned home with a few recipes.
Liu Anan cleaned up and went down the mountain to find the village chief.
"Grandpa Zhou."
When Liu Anan arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, he shouted loudly.
"An An is here."
Aunt Taohua was chopping vegetable leaves for chickens in the yard. She put down the knife in her hand, sat on the bench and responded with a smile.
"Hello, aunt, I came to see Grandpa Zhou to discuss something." Liu Anan shook the small basket in his hand.
"What kind of treasure are you pretending to be?" Aunt Taohua asked funnyly.
"Girl An'an, come in."
Village Chief Zhou happened to be in the main room, and Taohua followed him in.
Liu Anan quickly walked into the main room and grinned, "Hello, Grandpa Zhou, and Uncle Changsuo."
"You girl, you used to have a dull temper and didn't like to talk much. Now that you've left the Wang family, your temper has gotten better and better."
Village Chief Zhou grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into Liu Anan's hand.
"Grandpa Zhou, in the past in the Wang family, no matter how much I talked or how little I talked, I was always beaten and scolded, so I simply stopped saying anything."
Liu Anan was telling the truth. The original owner was indeed becoming more and more silent.
Village Chief Zhou sighed, "Yes, you and your mother have changed a lot, and even little Muyang has become much more cheerful."
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm here to discuss something with you."
Village Chief Zhou nodded, "Tell me, kid, what's going on?"
Liu Anan lifted the white cloth covering the small basket, and Village Chief Zhou, Chief Zhou Suo, and Taohua all looked over curiously.
"Girl, what is this? Is this a mushroom?" Zhou Changsuo asked.
"Yes, Uncle Changsuo, this kind of thinner kind is called Coprinus comatus, and this kind is Oyster Mushroom."
Village Chief Zhou also took the small basket and looked at it carefully, and then said: "I have picked mushrooms in the mountains before, but I have seen such thin ones."
"Grandpa Zhou, I grew this. I cooperated with Laike Chun Restaurant, and they harvested the mushrooms. I think grandpa has helped my family too much. Without your protection, we mothers may not be able to do anything. "
"As well as Uncle Futian, Aunt Tian and the others, I would like to ask Grandpa and you to come and plant them together. I will teach you how to grow them, so that the mushrooms you grow will be marketable."
When Taohua heard this, she immediately said: "Dad, let's follow An'an's example. Laikechun is the only big restaurant in the county. The business is good and the reputation is good. You can't go wrong."
Taohua thought that although her family was better than other families in the village, it was not much better. They all depended on the weather and their income was limited.
Although my brother-in-law is the accountant, he also has a small family, and the money he gives to his family every month is not much.
There are many places to spend money to open a living. If you can grow mushrooms and have peace of mind without worrying about sales, this would be a great thing!
Zhou Changsuo was even more excited after hearing this.
"An An, we have taken advantage of you."
Village Chief Zhou was also a little tempted. Everyone wanted a better life for their family, not to mention he believed in An An.
Even though this child is young, he does things safely. Just the matter in the cave alone shows that this child has an idea.
"An'an, there are dozens of families in the village, and everyone is having a hard time. With such a good opportunity, son, do you think you can bring the whole village to plant it together?"
Village Chief Zhou knew that his thoughts were a bit embarrassing for Liu Anan.
After all, a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old, at his age, alas!
There is nothing we can do, the village is very poor, even if we give up this old face, we have to ask.
"Grandpa Zhou, most of the uncles in the village are very good to our mothers. Although some have not helped us, at least they have not bullied us."
"But there are a few families, Liu Suo's family, Ergouziniang's family, Maizi's family, Lai Zitou's family. They absolutely cannot learn from me. As for Mrs. Wang's family, they can't even hope to get any benefit from me!"
Liu Anan couldn't help but turned cold.
Taohua naturally knows her father-in-law's difficulties. He is the head of a village.
But she agreed more with Liu Anan's approach.
Only fools would help families with whom we don't usually get along well, even like the Wang family.
Taohua thought for a while and said slowly: "Dad, I think An An is right. It's the same for me. Why are you treating me badly and why should I still think about you when I have food to eat? Dad, don't embarrass An An." , she is still a child, she has no obligation to lead a village of people to make money."
"Oh, An'an, grandpa got distracted."
Village Chief Zhou felt a little uncomfortable.
He knew that in addition to Mrs. Wang's house, there were several other houses in the village, and many of them bullied Liu Yueniang, especially some gossipy ladies.
"Grandpa Zhou, since I told you how to grow mushrooms, I don't want to make a fortune in silence. Find a time to gather people together, and I will teach you together."
"Good boy, thank you grandpa."
Village Chief Zhou's eyes were red, and the matter was settled.
Within a few days, except for those ill-intentioned families, the rest of the villagers were divided into two groups.
In the evening, when the family quietly gathered at the village chief's house, Liu Anan spent a few days teaching the villagers how to grow mushrooms in detail.
Everyone is very grateful to Liu Anan. No one can say anything about the method that other children have come up with. Teaching is a matter of affection, but not teaching is a duty.
As for Mrs. Wang’s pieces of information, everyone, including the village chief, automatically blocked them.
The yard area in the village is not small, but there is really not enough space. The village chief gave it to him with a wave of his hand, so the mushroom houses were built in a short time.
Naturally, Granny Wang and several others saw it and asked everyone what they wanted to do.
But no one said what it was for, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she stood at the door of the courtyard and cursed for more than an hour.
As a result, Mrs. Tian poured pot water all over her again.
However, there is no airtight wall. Finally, the families found out that Liu Anan was going to take everyone to grow mushrooms and sell them for money.
It was not what the villagers said on purpose, but what Lai Zitou heard while squatting at the root of someone else's house.
Now Mrs. Wang and her family stopped working and rushed directly to the village chief's house to start a fight.
"Village chief, if you don't do things like this, why don't you take us to grow fungi together? Aren't we from the backing village?" Mrs. Wang came up and asked.
Before Village Chief Zhou could speak, Taohua walked out.
Zhou Changsuo originally wanted to stop his wife, but because of Taohua's violent temper, Zhou Changsuo didn't stop her.
"Mother-in-law Wang, the method of growing mushrooms belongs to Liu An'an, who donated it free of charge. You should know why I didn't take you with me. What's going on with your Wang family? I don't need to tell you anymore, right?"
"As for you guys, how did you bully Liu Yueniang and the others before? Have you forgotten? Ergouziniang, I remember one time you pushed little Muyang into the pond. If it weren't for Huzi's father, little Muyang would Your life is gone, have you forgotten this?"
"The method of mushrooms belongs to the Liu family! That's why I don't take you with me!"
Mrs. Wang's few pieces of material were naturally met with disappointment.
"Hmph, what's so great about it, is it so easy to grow fungi? Even if you grow it, you won't be able to sell it!"
"Yeah, no one wants their fungi!"
"Liu An'an is a harmful person!"
Several pieces of material were cursed as they walked.
No matter how much they scolded or made trouble, Village Chief Zhou did not change his mind.
They were snakes, but he was not a farmer. Besides, if he agreed, he would be too embarrassed to see the Liu family girl.
Although the people in the village have not seen much of the world, they have a sense of right and wrong.
Therefore, I have no sympathy at all for the families represented by Mrs. Wang.
They walked their own path, and they were not stupid enough to help such people. People in the village silently isolated Mrs. Wang and her family.
A few days passed in a flash, and the mushrooms in every mushroom house, including the Yi family, were growing very well.
The people in the village have been tending the land for their ancestors, and it didn't take long for them to become completely familiar with taking care of mushrooms.
Looking at their mushroom houses, which look the same every day, everyone’s faces are filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
