Chapter 616: Whatever You Do, You Will Achieve
Zhou Guo said, "That's all. Keep a record first and ask them to come back next month to get fertilizer. Remember, after this time, if someone comes to your door again, don't just let them go. Write down their name, which village they live in, and how much fertilizer they want. Tell them to give them priority when the fertilizer is ready. Let them come happily and leave happily."
Da Pang's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea. Master, do you have one? Then I'll go write down their names."
Zhou Guo nodded. "Anyway, there are only about a dozen groups coming these days. It won't have much impact. At worst, we can just leave some money for the people in front."
Dapang left happily.
Zhou Guo took down the rabbits and pheasants that the dogs had brought back one by one and said with a smile, "I'll cook them for you when we get back."
Several dogs were circling around her.
She continued picking mushrooms and filled a small basket. She looked at the sky and saw that the sun was getting bigger and it was noon.
Decided to go back for dinner.
Zhou Xing and Li had already gone back to cook. She carried the basket of flower mushrooms she had picked, held the rabbit and pheasant in her hands, and called out to the old man who was somewhere unknown, "Master, Master, it's noon, let's go back and eat."
"Got it." The old man's voice came from afar.
A moment later, the old man came out of the mountain in high spirits, carrying a basket.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, where have you been? Why are you so happy?"
The old man said, "It's okay. I was just walking around in the mountains. I didn't realize before that you have planted so many flower mushrooms in this mountain."
"Later, Wu Jiang and his team gradually added more mushrooms to the mountains. Although growing flower mushrooms requires more manpower, the survival rate is higher than that of sheep mushrooms, so there are more mushrooms, and they can be harvested for half a month."
"Yeah, I think so too. Should I open my own shop or sell it in a few restaurants?"
"Let's put it in the restaurant. After all, the production is not high this year. Besides, we have nothing else to sell except this after opening the shop. We have to spend money to buy other things, and I don't have the energy for that."
He counted on his fingers and said, "It will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon. I have to prepare festival gifts for some shopkeepers. Well, I'll give them some flower mushrooms and sheep mushrooms. Give them more."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "It's only been a short time since the goat mushrooms were harvested in the mountains. If you're interested, you can find flower mushrooms. Are you sure they know that you planted them yourself and didn't bring them back from the mountains?"
Zhou Guo said: "If they can't tell the difference, then we can just let them know. It's normal to send a greeting letter along with the gift."
The old man smiled and said, "You have a lot of ideas in your head. You are born to do this."
Zhou Guo raised his head and said, "Master, you have said this before. You said that I am good at martial arts, studying, and farming. Now I am good at doing business?"
The old man said, "Well, these things, if ordinary people could encounter them all, it would be a big deal. But you have all of them, without missing a single one, you are more powerful than me, your master!"
Zhou Guo walked forward with his head held high and his chest expanded, waving his little hand and saying, "Come on, Master. Hei Dadan and the others have hunted two pheasants today. Let's go back and make mushroom stewed chicken, stir-fried mushrooms, mixed mushrooms, and mushroom soup. This basket is enough."
For lunch, there were several home-cooked dishes, including a pot of pork ribs.
After dinner, the Li family members were busy at home, cleaning the house, washing clothes and drying quilts. The old man took a hoe and went to the vegetable garden. The vegetables in the garden were still seedlings, and they were growing green because of the fertilizer. However, they had not been taken care of for more than ten days, and weeds had grown.
Zhou Guoze went to the mountains. She had to take a look. It seemed that all the big and small ones had been picked by them. This was not good because the small ones were still growing.
"Look, if they are smaller than this size, we won't pick them. Let them continue to grow. At least they can grow another circle, and we can make more money."
Everyone nodded, and a woman said regretfully, "Oh, I even picked the ones that were a circle smaller than this one. If I had known they could grow longer, I would not have picked them. How much did I lose now?"
"Me too. I forgot that it could grow again. I thought it grew naturally in the mountains. I only left some that were as big as fingernails, and I picked all the others."
Everyone regrets it!
Zhou Guo said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. It's just the beginning, so it's normal not to know. Besides, we've only been picking them for a few days, so there's nothing to lose. Just keep the rest."
Everyone dispersed, and now they had been reminded not to pick all the fruits, big or small, from a dead tree. They would pick up the big ones and leave the small ones.
This will slow down progress.
Zhou Guo walked around and saw everyone picking and choosing. At least half of the fruits were still left on the dead trees. He nodded secretly, thinking that if they continued to pick fruits this way, they could continue to do so for at least a month.
I went to check on the mushrooms I had picked. There was still enough space for drying the grain on a large mat.
The ones that were picked before will be almost dry in four or five days.
He looked at the sky and said to the woman who was guarding there, "Remember to take it back at night. I think it's going to rain tonight."
"Ah?" The woman looked up at the sky. It was clear and the sun was shining brightly. "No way, the sun is so bright, Master, how do you see it?"
Zhou Guo said, "I just said it casually. It hasn't rained for many days. I hope it will rain again. It's better to collect it at night than to leave it outside. It will be bad if it gets wet with dew at night."
The woman smiled and said, "Oh, yes, we will take it back at night."
After finishing her work here, she went to Feizhuang again.
Feizhuang is very busy now, and Wu Jiang has transferred most of the people in the village over here.
There had never been a fertilizer pile as big as a small hill on the farm. We had no experience and were afraid of something going wrong, so we could only ferment it in small piles. But it was bigger than the previous ones, twice as big as the ones at the beginning.
Today was the day for turning the pile, and she took over a woman's shovel and turned the pile from beginning to end. Very good, so far everything was going well.
Wu Jiang said, "Before, these women said that there was too much manure on the farm and they were worried that they couldn't sell it and the piles would get bigger and bigger. But you sold out such large piles in just a few days. Now they are complaining that there is not enough to sell, saying that a month is too long. If you can produce a pile in more than half a month, you won't have to worry about selling it."
Zhou Guo returned the shovel in his hand to the woman beside him, clapped his hands, and said as he walked, "We can only do this fast for now. Fortunately, the previous batches were sold to about a hundred households, and other households around are not in a hurry for the time being, so we can take our time."
Speaking of this, Wu Jiang was puzzled. "There are at least 300 to 400 households in the nearby villages, but only about 100 households buy fertilizer from us. Don't other households need fertilizer?"
