Chapter 641 Want to Go Out
When the children in the village have nothing to do, their favorite thing to do is to go into the mountains to look for these leftover mushrooms. If they find a dozen, they can go home and cook a meal. They are so cheap, yet so delicious!
Zhou Guo asked Wu Jiang to bring people to turn over all the land. In less than two months, they will start planting mushrooms for next year.
When I have nothing to do, I go to the mountains to look for dead wood.
All the other manpower was put into the fertilizer plantation. More and more people from the nearby villages needed fertilizer, and once a batch of fertilizer came out, it was snapped up within two days, so she had to assign more manpower.
Now there is a large piece of vacant land on the farm and there is no place to step. There is fertilizer everywhere, more than four times as much as before.
In order to prevent any mistakes, she went to the farm every day and stayed there for the whole day. She really found quite a few problems. Fortunately, she corrected them in time, otherwise the losses would be great.
The villagers also know that in addition to selling fertilizer, their farm now also sells fungi.
It was just by chance that someone saw them. The servants were carrying baskets of vegetables down the mountain to dry in the sun. Someone with sharp eyes saw it from a distance.
When they saw it, they were so excited that they ran around the village to tell everyone that a lot of flower mushrooms and sheep mushrooms were growing in the two mountains of Zhou’s family. Why are there so many mushrooms growing in the two mountains now?
When this was said, the villagers naturally didn't believe it. They had all lived in the village for their whole lives, and everyone knew that there were not many trees growing on those two mountains, let alone fungi and such. There were not even many poisonous fungi, so how could they grow sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms?
My first reaction was, is this guy’s brain out?
The man pointed to the sky and spoke in a very convincing manner. Everyone was skeptical and walked towards Zhou's house.
As soon as I entered the door, before I even asked, I was stunned to see the whole yard full of sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms drying in the sun.
Why are you asking this? It’s been more than a month since the sheep mushrooms were grown. Where can they still be found in the mountains?
There are so many flower mushrooms, which are very hard to find. We are lucky if we can pick up five or six kilograms of them in the mountains every year. They sift through the sieves and don’t believe that they are picked from the mountains.
Now that he knew it, Zhou Guo didn't plan to hide it.
We originally lived in the same village, and we saw each other every day. Even a fool could not hide it.
This made the villagers extremely envious. They looked Zhou Guo up and down, wondering if she was really a little boy under the Bodhisattva in her previous life. How could she be so powerful?
When all the mushrooms in the mountains were harvested, the villagers came to Zhou Guo and asked, "Can we go in and take a look? You guys don't want them anyway, so if we see any, can we pick some and take them home?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay, the harvest in the mountains is over, you can pick some and take them back if you can."
Therefore, these days there are children going into the mountains every day, carrying a basket and wandering around the mountains, just like picking wheat ears.
Zhou Guo saw a large group of children going into the mountains every day and was curious, "How come there are still so many mushrooms left in the mountains? Why do they come every day?"
The housekeeper said, "Hey, not much. We harvested four crops, and then we went back and forth four or five times. Later, the children had no vegetables to eat every day, so they carried baskets and wandered around the mountains. What was left when it was their turn? It was all for fun. It was a great achievement for each person to pick up half a pound of flowers a day. Recently, they can only pick up a dozen or so. It was all for fun."
Zhou Guo nodded. Although the yield this year was not good and the survival rate was not high, he still harvested nearly 10,000 kilograms of fresh sheep mushrooms, and the flower mushrooms were even more amazing, nearly 40,000 kilograms.
With this year's experience, these fungi will double next year.
Therefore, this year, the pine mushrooms can no longer just wander around these cities, she has to go out.
She took the simple map that the old man had drawn for her. She had followed this route to find Zhou Suli. However, even the nearest Huaiyang was still quite far from the north. It would probably take six or seven days for the trip.
It’s too far, but there seems to be no place nearby. Where should we transport it to?
Go further north?
It’s too cold. Not to mention it’s dangerous, I guess there aren’t many people there. There are more people in the south, so I guess I can sell it.
We still have to go to Huaiyang.
But she can spread this wealth to the north. If the grain output in the entire north is increased and the tax revenue is increased, the army will be well fed and Zhou Dacang will have no worries.
There is not much production of sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms this year, so we will not export them. We will do so next year.
But isn’t this pace too fast?
"Oh, Master, do you think I should get these things out next year or this year?" He sighed, unable to make up his mind.
The old man threw a peanut into his mouth and said in surprise, "Why are you asking me this? Didn't you say that we should take it slow and get it out next year?"
Zhou Guo said, "That's what I thought at first, but look at our family. More and more people in the surrounding area need fertilizer. My farm is so big that it feels small. Everyone says that the crops in the fields are growing much better than in previous years. If I sell this fertilizer to the entire North, the grain output of the entire North will increase, and the taxes collected will be higher. It is said that the entire tax revenue of the North is in the hands of the general. If they have food, they will be able to eat their fill, and then my uncle will be able to eat his fill too."
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are still worried about your uncle. You don't want him to worry too, right? He must be praying day and night in the barracks for you to keep a low profile, but you are trying so hard to show up. I tell you, this won't work. When the time is right, I will help you take these things out."
Zhou Guo had no choice but to suppress this thought, but some thoughts are better if they don't arise, but once they arise it is difficult to suppress them.
She could only keep herself busy every day, spending the first half of the day on the farm and the second half in the fields. She had to look after more than ten acres of rice fields, weeding, fertilizing, and watering. The depth of the water was very important.
I was so busy that I had no time to think about anything else.
That day, she was making compost in the farm when a servant came to report that someone was outside selling duck eggs.
This made her very happy. Over the past long time, many people came to her door to ask for fat, but there was not a single person selling duck eggs.
I clapped my hands and went out to take a look. It was none other than the old couple Chen who lived in the stone house.
The old couple also smiled happily when they saw her.
Zhou Guo hurried forward, asked someone to bring a stool and some tea, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, why are you here today?"
Old Mrs. Chen pointed to a basket beside her and said, "It's been a while since we last saw you. We have saved about a hundred duck eggs at home, so we're here to bring you some."
Zhou Guo helped them sit down and looked at the duck eggs in the basket. "It's only been a short time, and we already have so many duck eggs?"
Old Man Chen said, "Not too many. We have so many ducks at home. We have hatched some ducklings now. They will lay eggs next year."
Old Mrs. Chen looked at the farm and asked Zhou Guo, "I came here today to buy fertilizer. Many people in our village asked which farm in your village sells fertilizer. We asked around and found this place. It really sells fertilizer here. Didn't you say you were buying duck eggs?"
