Chapter 630: Harvesting Sheep Mushrooms
Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How many years will it take for you to grow these and sell them? Besides, they are so expensive, who can afford them? Who are you going to sell them to?"
Zhou Guo had already thought about it, "We have so many shops at home, I will sell them in the shops when the time comes, and the rich people in the city will naturally come to buy them."
Poor people can’t even get enough food to eat, so why would they spend money to buy these things?
Zhou Xing looked at the bowls and smiled, "You really have an idea. You actually planted these seeds in bowls. I have never seen anyone use bowls to plant flowers, vegetables, or fruits."
Zhou Guo said: "I couldn't find a jar, so I had to use a bowl."
Then she said she planned to drop bowls of the blossoming and fruiting strawberries on the porch.
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Will that work? It sounds great. When I want to eat one, I can just stand under the porch and pick one to eat. It's fun, looks good, and tastes good!"
When Zhou Mai and his friends came back and saw the bowls, they were also amazed. Zhou Mai said, "You always come up with things that others can't even think of. Who would dare to use so many bowls to grow things?"
Zhou Mi nodded and said, "Most people really don't dare to do that. They will probably get beaten as soon as they plant the seeds."
The whole family loved these bowl plants and looked at them every day. Even Mrs. Li would go to look at them whenever she had time.
……
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sheep mushrooms begin to be harvested.
Zhou Guo took a sharp piece of wood, squatted on the ground, picked up the big ones, found the mycorrhiza, and cut downwards diagonally.
After cutting, pick it up carefully, pick off the dirt on it, and gently put it into a basket filled with hay.
He said to everyone: "This thing is delicate. You have to be gentle when harvesting it to avoid damaging the primordium under the soil. If we manage it properly, we can harvest a few more crops after this harvest."
"Yes!"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Go ahead."
Everyone dispersed, each carrying a basket or wood chips, and squatted on the ground to collect the wood chips.
Zhou Guo also carried a basket and a backpack to harvest the sheep mushrooms she grew for the first time. It was auspicious for her to follow.
Li, who was squatting on the ground nearby, cut a few flowers and shook her head. "This thing is so delicate. I think it's just like the ones in the mountains. If you pull them up by the roots, won't they grow again the next year? If we harvest them this way, how long will it take to harvest this large area?"
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "That's right. Most people can't do this. They don't have the patience or the attention to detail."
Zhou Gu on the other side picked a few mushrooms, then held a broken mushroom in his hand and sighed, "I can't do this job. If I'm not careful, it will break. It looks bad and no one wants it. I'd better not do this job anymore. I'll go move the baskets and spread the straw."
The old man thought so too. After picking more than a dozen mushrooms, the novelty wore off and he felt that this job was simply torture. He stood up and said, "I'll go check on the flower mushrooms in the mountains over there. I'm afraid it's time to harvest the second batch."
The two men stood up and left.
Zhou Guo looked at their backs, sighed and muttered, "You can't even bear this little bit of hardship, you really have no patience, humph, you really are not cut out for big things."
After muttering to himself, he lowered his head and started to cut sheep mushrooms, sighing silently as he cut. This job was so boring. When he looked up, he saw large areas of mushrooms and he didn't know when he would be able to finish harvesting them.
After thinking about it, I realized that I was capable of doing great things, so I couldn't give up. I had to at least fill up a basket!
In order to avoid crushing the sheep mushrooms, the backpack is filled with layers of hay and sheep mushrooms. Although a basket looks big, not much can be harvested.
Zhou Guo finally filled a backpack with wood chips. After collecting the wood chips, he stood up, stretched his arms, and said, "I'll go see how they're doing."
He walked away with his hands behind his back.
Seeing her back, Zhou Xing laughed out loud and said to Li: "Second Aunt, Guoguo has been buried in the backyard in the mountains for a year and a half. She can't stay in this job. I think she has wanted to leave a long time ago."
Li smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? She also said that her eldest brother and master weren't the kind of people who could accomplish great things."
Zhou Guo walked around the mountain with his hands behind his back and found quite a few problems. Either the harvesting method was wrong or the stacking method was wrong.
Teach them personally step by step.
At noon, several women from the farm came carrying food.
One meat dish and one vegetarian dish, and several large baskets of steamed buns.
Li and his friends didn't go back either, so they ate with everyone.
Each person took a bowl, ordered some dishes, and sat together to eat with two steamed buns. If anyone felt that there was not enough, they could go and get more. Anyway, there was enough food.
Zhou Guo personally stood next to the vegetable barrel and served food to everyone, each person getting a big spoonful of meat.
It was Da Pang's turn. He held the bowl and handed it over with a happy look on his face.
Zhou Guo smiled and gave him a spoonful of meat, saying, "If it's not enough, bring more."
"Yes, thank you, master." The fat man took two steamed buns from the bowl and went downstairs.
Behind him was Erpang, who said with a smile, "Master, why did you think of serving us food?"
Zhou Guo said, "I see you work hard. The mushrooms can grow so well and have such a good harvest, which is inseparable from your efforts. I will reward you. After this period of time, I will buy you a pig."
"Yes, thank you, master!" Everyone was cheered up. The woman who was serving steamed buns nearby puffed up her breasts. Those who didn't know would have thought they were made of gold.
Zhou Xing looked at these spirited servants and said with a smile, "How impressive! Are they calling Guoguo "master" now?"
Zhou Gu said: "They started calling it a long time ago. It was the big fat guy and the second fat guy who started calling it at first. Later, Wu Jiang and others also started calling it, saying that the master is better than the boss, and it sounded like they were a family. Later, more people started calling it, and finally, everyone started calling it that way. I also think that the master is better than the boss!"
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Aren't you angry when they call you Young Master?"
Zhou Gu said, "Why should I be angry? I'm not their master. Besides, I think the title of eldest son sounds better than the title of master. Young Master, someone like me actually calls me Young Master!!"
I couldn't help but laugh. Who could have thought that he was a poor boy from a farming family a few years ago, but now he has become a rich man?
Zhou Xing laughed out loud.
Li sighed, "You are the same master, but you are all young masters and young ladies. It sounds like you are from two different generations. What are you calling each other? How will it make outsiders feel when they hear you?"
I think it's outrageous.
The old man said, "What can you do? If they like to call you that, just let them. I think they are happy to hear it and they are happy to call you that. No one in the village will say anything. But if you still want to buy someone else in the future, you can't let them call you that."
Zhou Xing and Zhou Gu lowered their heads and smiled.
Li said, "Sir, you really love her. I haven't said anything yet, but you stopped me. Just spoil her. Okay, I don't care. Anyway, I don't understand these things. Let them call her whatever they want."
After Zhou Guo served everyone their meals, he also took a big bowl, scooped a bowl of vegetables, put two steamed buns in his pocket, and walked towards Li and the others.
