The spring semester usually starts on the [-]th or [-]th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. However, due to the rainy spring and the muddy roads, it is postponed to the first day of February every spring because of the lack of textbooks.

As soon as the new semester started, Meiluo ran to the office and asked, "Brother Feichi, aren't you going to school with us?"

"Yes." Ying Feichi made a distressed look, "I want to help you, Mr. Zhou, work hard to make money."

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you change your child!" Mei Luo was very anxious, "Now you need nine years of compulsory education, and it's illegal for you not to teach Brother Feichi!"

Zhou Man was writing the lesson plan on the side. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Brother Chi, you have already passed the compulsory education period. I want to teach him junior high school." You can't give wrong examples to children, thinking that you can drop out of school too .

"Junior high school!" Meiluo was very excited, "Brother Feichi, you are so amazing, you are going to junior high school so soon! But..." The mood of the child is just like the summer weather, it changes as soon as it is said, and it immediately becomes sad: "Brother Feichi, if you don't take classes with us, you won't be able to play with us. There are so many things to play in spring, and we still want to pick straw mushrooms after school at noon."

Ying Feichi also expressed helplessness, and Zhou Man asked, "Sister Luo, have the straw mushrooms grown?"

"It's grown, we just had a meal last night." Meiluo said, "There are straw mushrooms in the field, and the fragrant mushrooms can be harvested."

That's it... Zhou Man nodded secretly. He had been busy taking care of the gluttonous little Taoist priest before, and he gained a full ten catties by feeding him. Later, he was busy making lightning rods, and put aside the local product shop.Now there are just mushrooms, which can supplement the supply of native product stores and medicinal food stores.

Zhou Man used Tongmingjian to contact Li Min and Li Lan during his break at noon. It was the first time that Li Lan knew that the mirror could still communicate, and she was taken aback.Zhou Man said: "The newly developed things were bought from abroad at a high price during the Chinese New Year."

This age is in the stage of just contacting foreign countries, and they know little about everything, and they firmly believe that foreign magical things are everywhere.As soon as Li Lan heard that it was obtained from abroad, she believed it.

Zhou Man told them about mushrooms and other things, and asked them to investigate the market prices.Luo Rui acted very quickly. As the strongest market researcher of Guanjiang Group (named by Mr. Li Min, the vice president of the group), he told Ying Feichi the results of the investigation that afternoon:

Dried straw mushrooms are 3.5 yuan per catty, dried fungus is 5 yuan per catty, dried flower mushrooms are 6 yuan per catty, and ordinary dried mushrooms are 4 yuan per catty.

"Are you a student or do you do it?" Ying Feichi asked Zhou Man. After half a year of contact, he can judge many things, and he won't be like he didn't understand everything when he first came to this world.

Zhou Man thought for a while and asked, "Can you turn the oil press in the oil workshop into a dryer?"

"Yes." Ying Feichi patted his chest to assure, "This is very simple. Compared with roasting hazelnuts, just lower the temperature a little."

Zhou Man patted his head: "Then leave it to you."

Ying Feichi smiled back at him, confident, took the bamboo piece and began to carve the spell.To lower the temperature, you only need to change the fire spell in the original charm, and Yingfeichi will be engraved in less than 10 minutes.In order to prevent accidents, he took it to the oil workshop by himself, picked straw mushrooms in the field beside the road, and threw them into the machine to start the experiment.

The result is naturally very good. The straw mushrooms are completely dried within half an hour. The dried straw mushrooms are very natural in color and should be of good quality.If it wasn't for the fear that the straw mushrooms would be burnt if they were baked too fast, Ying Feichi could have done it in ten seconds.

Complacent, the little Taoist ran back to school, and respectfully clasped his fists to Zhou Man who was taking a recess, and said, "Sir, the dryer is ready, please Acceptance!" After speaking, he spread his palms, and several dried straw mushrooms appeared in front of Zhou Man.

Zhou Man was amused by him, took a look at the dried straw mushrooms, stretched out his hand to rub his hair, and said cooperatively: "The elder has worked hard, and I will make straw mushroom chicken soup tonight to comfort the elder."

In fact, he still wants other rewards to make him happier, but it would be nice to have chicken soup.Ying Feichi secretly drooled.

In less than a day, everything was ready, and the only thing left was to inform the villagers.

Guanjiang Elementary School is used to queuing up on the playground after school and listening to the principal's lectures. Zhou Man asked the students to go home on the afternoon of the first day of school and said that Mr. Zhou's new round of harvesting mountain goods has started again. During this period, the purchase is fragrant mushrooms. , black fungus, and straw mushrooms are located in Youfang.The purchased fungus does not need to be dried. The price is 4 cents for fragrant mushrooms, 6 cents for flower mushrooms, 3 cents for straw mushrooms, and 5 cents for fungus per catty.

At this time, the spring rain has been falling for a long time in South China. In the north, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed overnight in the north, but in the south of China, the spring rain came overnight, and thousands of grasses woke up, and they all appeared in the fields.The soil in the fields is already wet, the stalks left over from the harvest are piled on the ground, and the weeds that withered in winter rot on the ridges and fields.Under the nourishment of the spring rain, straw mushrooms grow rustlingly. At a glance, small white and gray balls gather on the ground in piles, as if they are eagerly looking forward to collecting them.

The lifespan of straw mushrooms is only a few days. If they are not collected in time, they will rot soon.

The shiitake mushrooms and fungus are cultivated artificially.Guanjiang Village has always had the habit of growing shiitake mushrooms. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the busy villagers no longer dare to stay in the house and eat by the fire. This is the best season for growing shiitake mushrooms and fungus.

First of all, when doing New Year's goods, we must buy bacteria and store them in the box.On the day when I start working, I have to go up the mountain and cut miscellaneous trees, preferably maple. No one has studied the reason. In short, maple grows more shiitake mushrooms than other trees.The maple is felled, the branches are cut off, and cut into lengths of 1.5 meters.Use a special fungus hammer to make a nail-sized round hole on the wood, and then stuff the fungus into it.

The method of fungus is similar to that of shiitake mushrooms. After stuffing the fungi, the wood segments should be stacked together and turned every half a month.When the time reaches the beginning of February, you can pick the fragrant mushrooms.If the weather where the fungus grows is sunny and the wind is relatively strong, then the growth rate of the mushroom will be slower. The grown fungus is not big, but the mushroom is very thick, and a streak will appear on the mushroom due to the wind. A crack, exposing the white fungus flesh inside the mushroom cap.This type of fragrant mushroom is called flower mushroom, which tastes more fragrant and tastes better.If it is rainy when the fragrant fungus grows, the growth rate of the mushroom cap will be very fast, the grown mushroom cap will be very thin, and the surface of the mushroom cap will be very smooth.There is no special name for this type of mushroom. In order to distinguish it from flower mushrooms, the locals call this mushroom mushroom.The taste of shiitake mushrooms is relatively sweet, and fresh ones are suitable for cooking soup, but dried ones are not as delicious as flower mushrooms, so the price is relatively low.

"Even if it's lower, we'll still make some money." Ying Feichi put down the soup bowl with a satisfied expression on his face.Straw mushrooms are sweeter than flower mushrooms, so they are perfect for thick soups.Zhou Man specially bought a tender chicken and came back to make soup with straw mushrooms. It doesn’t need to be boiled, and it will be sweet and delicious after just a little cooking. Ying Feichi drank three bowls in a row to appreciate his face.

"The function of the spirit-gathering array is not only to gather the aura of medicinal materials, even ordinary ingredients will taste better because of the existence of the spirit-gathering array." Ying Feichi explained, "Ordinary people can tell the difference when they taste it for the first time. , because the taste is really Russian!" He stretched out the empty bowl and said, "Zhou Man, I want another bowl!"

Zhou Man is also full of confidence. The quality of all the local products in Guanjiang Village is not good. He is only worried about the quantity. After all, things like mushrooms are not like hazelnuts and tea seeds that can be counted.However, Zhou Man’s worries were quickly dispelled. On the first day of receiving the goods, Ah Jun and Ah Quan came to report: On the first day, the whole village harvested a total of 1000 catties of mushrooms, including 600 catties of shiitake mushrooms, 300 catties of straw mushrooms, and 100 catties of fungus. , no flower mushrooms, because it was raining during this time.

It doesn't matter, everything can wait slowly, while Zhou Man is drying the mushrooms, he uses fresh and dried mushrooms to make delicious ones for Ying Feichi.

Once the mushroom cap grows too big and too thin, the fresh shiitake mushroom will not look good. The fragrance is lighter, but it is still very sweet.Zhou Man cut fresh shiitake mushrooms into cubes and cooked porridge with indica rice.It is best to cook porridge slowly in an iron pot, adding a little garlic leaf instead of white garlic.Don't put too much water, if it is thick, the taste will be very sweet and full of stomach.Ying Feichi can feel full after eating two bowls at a time.

Cut the fresh fungus into shreds, mince the fresh pork, and stir the two to make the most delicious stuffing.Southerners don’t like to eat pasta, and buns and dumplings are really not delicious, so soak the indica rice overnight, beat it into a pulp, and soak the water to a certain extent, then it can be kneaded and ground into a skin.It can be made into fresh meat siu mai, or into powder dumplings—the powder dumplings are the same modification as the dumplings in the north, but they can't be boiled, they can only be steamed.The siu mai and noodle dumplings made of indica rice flour are crystal clear and transparent, and the fungus and pork are clearly visible.

"I want to steam three large plates!" Ying Feichi happily placed the siu mai and steamed dumplings on the plate, his eyes shining brightly.

As for the mushrooms and straw mushrooms, of course they are used to make soup.Zhou Man began to wonder if Ying Feichi was reincarnated as a fox in his previous life, so he liked eating chicken so much in this life.In order to raise the little Taoist priest well, Zhou Man bought eggs everywhere, and after collecting them, he put them in the old woman's house and let the five old hens in the ancient woman's house help hatch the eggs. He also bought corn seeds, rice bran, and millet.

"When the chickens hatch, you will have many, many chickens to eat." Zhou Man said to Fei Chi after giving the money for raising the chickens to the old man and the old woman.

Ying Feichi began to look forward to Zhou Man making a lot of money and buying more chickens for him in the future.Zhou Man received it for a week, received it during the day, and dried it after receiving it. After a week, he got 300 catties of dried shiitake mushrooms, 200 catties of dried straw mushrooms, 100 catties of fungus, and 100 catties of dried flower mushrooms.All the dried mushrooms have been raised by 3 yuan compared with the market price, so as not to lose money.
