Chapter 778: There are many fungi this year
After the gourd seeds were planted, she asked about some management techniques and then took Mrs. Deng back home.
Song County was handed over to Da Pang, who was very terrified. "Master, it's okay if you let me take charge for a while. After all, I can handle minor incidents. But if you want me to take charge all the time, I'm afraid I can't do it."
He has been visiting various places every day during this period. Nothing major has happened. He does the same things every day and everyone is very conscientious and does not need to report to him.
Zhou Guo said, "You have been doing a good job in the past half month. Just do what you did before for big and small things. If you have never encountered it before, handle it yourself. If you can't handle it yourself, don't you know to write to me? Besides, I'm not going to stop coming after I go back."
After all, Dapang is young, and people are a little hesitant to let him manage such a large farm alone.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Guo felt a little disappointed. "Look at your brother Huzi, how many years older than you are? Who wouldn't respectfully call you Manager Hu when they go out now? Didn't he do it the same way? You are afraid to take action before you even start. When will you grow up?"
I have such a big business, can I rely on myself alone? Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't do it. Don't you want everyone to call you the fat manager when you go out?"
After saying that, it didn't seem very pleasant.
But Big Fatty's blood boiled when he heard this, and he nodded heavily, "I understand, Master, I will do my best, don't worry."
Zhou Guo opened his mouth, but still said, "Remember, if there is anything you can't handle, you must write to me, don't decide on your own."
Seeing that he looked fearless again, she was still worried. Like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, she was afraid that he might get into trouble.
Big Fatty said, “I understand.”
Zhou Guo looked towards Tang He.
Tang He nodded.
Zhou Guo left with peace of mind.
Because of Mrs. Deng, it was already evening when she returned to the village. If she had been alone, she would have arrived at noon.
The whole family was overjoyed to see her back.
Li asked, "Why did you come back? Didn't you say you were going to stay there and cultivate your few acres of land?"
Zhou Su shouted, "We have a day off tomorrow. We were planning to go to Song County to see you. The whole family will go."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I found a father and son on the farm. They said that their family had this salty and bitter land before and had planted things on it. I gave the few acres of land to them and they will take care of it."
Li said, "Can this be done? Your two acres of land look like eyeballs. Can they grow anything?"
Zhou Guo gulped down a glass of water, put down the glass and said, "I've tried them. Although they don't quite meet my expectations, they're still usable. I'll still go take a look at them from time to time. I can't let go completely."
These few acres of land are of great importance. They are the ancestors of hundreds of hectares of saline-alkali land. Only if we take good care of these ancestors can our descendants prosper.
It is impossible for her to let go completely, as it is all her hard work.
The old man said, "It's good this way. You can take a break instead of having to stay there every day and suffer."
He handed her the peeled walnut kernels.
Zhou Guo took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master. That's what I thought. You don't have to guard there all day. Just go and take a look occasionally."
He sat down on the stool, stuffed a walnut kernel into his mouth, and sighed, "Home is still the best!"
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Then take a good rest at home."
Turning to Li, he said, "Mom, what shall we eat tonight?"
Li said, "How can we miss her? There are so many delicious things."
Now that my family is rich, we have enough meat for every meal and delicious food is always available.
The whole family has gained weight visibly.
Especially Wu Ya, who was as thin as a bamboo pole when she first came. After giving birth to a child, she seemed to be getting fatter and fatter day by day, and is now twice as big as Zhou Guo.
Mrs. Li has also gained a lot of weight, and even the old man has a little belly. If he doesn't exercise every day, I'm afraid his belly will get bigger and bigger.
Zhou Guo said, "Mom, I eat very well in Song County. Mrs. Deng cooks delicious food for me every day. You just need to follow your usual routine. I'm not greedy this time, I'm just a little hungry."
We have been on the road for so long.
Li then remembered that there was a woman named Deng. "Where is Mrs. Deng? Did she come back with you?"
Zhou Guo said: "I'm back. We're home now."
Zhou Mi said, "You will go to Song County later. Who will cook for you when she comes back?"
"Yes, why did you bring her back?" the whole family asked.
Zhou Guo said, "She also wants to see her family. Even though her son has married and has grandchildren, she still wants to see them. I'm not there, so why should she stay there every day? It would be better for her to come back with me. At most, I can take her with me next time I go."
She misses home, and Mrs. Deng must miss home too.
Wu Ya now has a child, so she can empathize with such things and nodded.
Li said, "That's good. It's not a good idea to leave her alone there."
……
The number of mushrooms grown in the mountains has increased in the past two years. Now the mushrooms in the mountains have not been harvested yet, and we can still harvest one or two more crops.
Zhou Gu said: "The lowest estimate this year is that we can produce more than 600,000 kilograms. We have sold several batches of fresh products so far, and we have sold 150,000 to 160,000 kilograms of them."
When he talked about this, his brows were furrowed.
It’s because there are too many of them.
I don't know how to sell it out.
Li looked at Zhou Guo, "Last year's goods were not sold out until the first month of this year. This year there are so many more than last year. Can we still sell them out?"
The trade route to the east was cut off again.
Zhou Guo said, "It's okay. Several prefectures outside Yunzhou have shops, but the counties below don't have any. I'll go to some counties with large populations and wealth to set up shops, and I can help sell some of the goods."
Zhou Mi pondered and said, "There are quite a few county towns under the four prefectures, more than a hundred, so we can sell a lot."
Everyone agrees that as much as possible should be sold now, and it would be a loss if the products were piled up in the house.
Zhou Guo said, "Then I'll send someone there. It's been about three days since we found the shop and it's open. We'll sell the last two crops of mushrooms to those counties. We'll sell them at half price in the first three days of the new shop opening. Fresh mushrooms are much more cost-effective than dried mushrooms even at half price. Maybe people will like them more."
Fresh mushrooms taste much better than dried mushrooms.
After dinner, she went to write a letter to Hu Zi and others.
It was delivered early the next morning.
On the third day, news came back from all over the country that a shop had been found and the mushrooms would be shipped over in two days.
Because it is a one-of-a-kind business, location is important but not that important. Even if you need it in a hurry, you can still find a suitable one.
Zhou Guo looked at these locations and was quite satisfied with them all. Even if she went there, she probably wouldn't be able to find a better one than this one.
