The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 67 The Mysterious Visitor from Beijing [Please read on! ]

Li Jieshi came to give Wang Haoran a matchmaker gift.

He told Wang Haoran that his daughter and Du Ming were in a free love relationship and there was no matchmaker.

But in the countryside, the process of having a matchmaker is necessary for things to look good.

Li Jieshi asked Wang Haoran to be the matchmaker.

Today he specially sent over a piece of pork belly and two bottles of wine as a thank you gift for being a matchmaker.

Wang Haoran knew that this was the rule, and if he didn't accept it, Li Jieshi would definitely be unhappy.

Therefore, he gladly accepted the matchmaker's thank-you gift.

"Uncle Jieshi, didn't I tell you that we should promote mushroom cultivation as a sideline business in our brigade?"

"I planted some myself, and it's growing pretty well. How about you take a look?"

Wang Haoran told Li Jieshi about his mushroom cultivation.

Li Jieshi was very happy to hear this: "Can you really grow mushrooms yourself? Then let me take a look."

Wang Haoran took Li Jieshi to see the mushrooms he grew.

Li Jieshi took a look and was surprised to see that the mushrooms were growing very well, with wild oyster mushrooms growing in clusters.

But Wang Haoran's ones grow in clusters.

Mushrooms are also considered fresh vegetables and are very popular.

"Haoran, how did you grow this?" Li Jieshi asked.

Wang Haoran smiled and explained the general planting method.

Li Jieshi felt that this planting method seemed quite simple and was indeed worth promoting in the village.

He said, "I heard that some villages grow vegetables in greenhouses to supply the city dwellers, and the income from this sideline business is quite high. Haoran, the mushroom planting you came up with is very promising."

"But if we wait any longer, it will be autumn and almost winter. Can we still plant?"

Wang Haoran said: "You can also grow it in winter. As long as you turn it into a greenhouse, it will only cost a few handfuls of firewood."

"This kind of mushroom usually grows once every thirty days or so. Our village can stagger the planting so that we can supply fresh mushrooms to the supply and marketing cooperative every day."

"The price of mushrooms is not low now, about 10 cents per pound."

Li Jieshi took a deep breath: "So expensive?"

"That's much more expensive than food."

Wang Haoran said: "So, if you want to have more money, you have to develop a side business."

Li Jieshi said: "Haoran, you are right."

"Then you can talk to the members about it later to motivate them and we can work together."

On that day, Wang Haoran gave a training speech on mushroom cultivation to all members of the Licai Brigade.

In fact, the main purpose is to encourage everyone's enthusiasm.

Because, when it comes to growing mushrooms, there still needs to be a certain scale effect before you can negotiate terms with the supply and marketing cooperatives.

After listening to Wang Haoran’s story, the members of Li Cai Brigade were all very excited. Who doesn’t want to have more money?
If it is true as Wang Haoran said, that by growing some mushrooms at home, you can increase your income by several hundred yuan a year, that would be amazing.

Now you can build a three-room brick house with just over a thousand yuan.

All the families in the village signed up.

People kept coming to visit Wang Haoran's mushroom-growing room.

After the visit, many families took action and began to prepare the planting area according to Wang Haoran’s requirements.

At this moment, every household actually has limited housing.

Growing mushrooms in your room is a bit of a luxury.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't have extra rooms. You can build a greenhouse with one side facing the sun. You can use mud walls, three mud walls, and cover the south side with plastic film.

……

As September approached, Wang Haoran had been waiting for a big news: the resumption of the college entrance examination.

As far as I can remember, the conference to resume the college entrance examination will be held in early October.

Moreover, the exam was required to be held one month after the conference. Therefore, the college entrance examination this year was very rushed.

Precisely because time is so tight, people dare not set too difficult questions in the college entrance examination.

Nowadays, rumors about the resumption of the college entrance examination are flying all over the place.

But the official notice has not come down, so the situation is still unstable.

This is also the main reason why many people are worried.

In the next few days, in addition to serving as a technical consultant to solve problems at the Mafang Machinery Factory and the County Pesticide Factory, Wang Haoran also assisted the villagers in growing mushrooms.

Life is still very fulfilling.

On this day, Wang Haoran went to the field to check the condition of the corn.

Growth regulators have been injected for many days.

The corn filling period has long ended at this time.

Wang Haoran has not paid much attention to whether plant growth regulators can really increase production.

Mainly because he is too busy.

Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan came to the edge of the cornfield together.

The sun is not very bright today and there are clouds in the sky.

Besides, the wind is quite cool.

Wang Haoran didn't go too deep into the cornfield, he just checked the condition of some corn.

He found that the corn ears in his field had grown significantly larger.

Break off a corn cob, peel it open and you will see that the corn kernels are tightly arranged with almost no gaps.

Moreover, it has grown much fuller.

Wang Haoran was very happy because, judging from the condition of the corn cobs, this year's corn production would definitely have a significant increase.

It looks like there should be no problem in increasing the yield by about 200 kilograms per acre of land.

In order to check the conditions of all the corn fields, he randomly checked a few corn plants in the fields.

He confirmed the fact that corn production had increased significantly.

As mentioned before, it is already quite good if one acre of corn can produce 500 to 600 kilograms.

Looking at the current situation, it should be no problem for me to produce 3 to kilograms per acre from my three acres of corn.

That's definitely a great harvest.

The most crucial point: Wang Haoran never weeded or managed these three acres of land. At most, he watered it and spread some fertilizer.

As mentioned before, at this time, chemical fertilizers were almost not used in rural farming, and organic fertilizers were the main fertilizer used.

Wang Haoran wondered, after the harvest this autumn, would the Li Cai Brigade’s bumper harvest make big news?
After they were on the news, it was estimated that the Li Cai Brigade’s unauthorized household contract responsibility system could no longer be concealed.

By then, will there be thunderous punishment or a heated discussion across the country?
It should be the latter, right?

After all, the chief designer should be gradually taking control of the situation now.

Wang Haoran wondered in his heart whether he had been noticed by the designer.
Wang Haoran came out of the cornfield and happened to see Li Gang striding over with sweat all over his forehead.

The way he walked was just like a steamroller, so domineering.

"Haoran, someone from Beijing is here to see you." Li Gang said.

Wang Haoran asked: "Who is it?"

Li Gang shook his head: "I don't know the details. They said they are a secret department and it is not convenient to disclose."

Wang Haoran looked at himself and found himself quite dirty.

However, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal if farmers are a little dirty, right?

Wang Haoran followed Li Gang to the brigade headquarters.

On the way, Li Gang asked, "Haoran, what were you looking at in the cornfield just now?"
