In the original plane, Yang Mingzhi knew a special economic model - cave economy. This word seems too big, but in fact, the so-called cave economy is an important project for farmers to use caves, and growing mushrooms.

In fact, not only natural caves, but also many air-raid shelters have been used as warehouses since the end of the Cold War, and some have become mushroom farmland.

Yang Mingzhi has visited some mushroom production bases, but not caves.

It was some ordinary rural houses, and the common people had transformed the rooms into completely black houses.

It is necessary to avoid light, to ensure a constant temperature, to have a relative humidity of 90%, and to have a high moisture content of the culture. Since the villagers and soldiers can always collect some edible mushrooms in the nearby mountains and forests, why can't they keep the mushrooms and cultivate them themselves?

When Yang Mingzhi said this, Holguin was very surprised. He knew he wasn't the material, but he had to be suspicious.

"Sir, in October there is generally plenty of rain in Ukraine and Belarus, and in winter the temperature drops below freezing. Even if we grow mushrooms, such low temperatures will definitely have a huge impact. In winter, potatoes also stop growing, and we can't develop agriculture at all. ”

"Really? Comrade, your words are too absolute. Yang Mingzhi said.

"Perhaps, Comrade Deputy Divisional Commander, I am not an agriculturist or a botanist. We grow mushrooms in caves, and perhaps Kavitzky is more experienced. ”

Holguin turned to the new presence, Kavitzky, who was there, and looked confused.

Yang Mingzhi looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head. "Maybe it's really wishful thinking on my part? After all, you are a group of working class, and we may not have any mushroom experts. ”

Yevlov immediately took over the conversation and said, "Really? Berekov, since you mentioned this, you may have experience. Or maybe you've heard or seen it, and with your own memory, you can do it, and we'll help. After all, I know that mushrooms can fill my stomach if they grow quickly. The soldiers ate potatoes and bread every day, and in the winter when vegetables were scarce, more mushrooms could be used to spice it up. ”

Yang Mingzhi chuckled, "Okay, or I'll give it a try." ”

At this moment, the star fruit in the corner couldn't help coughing, and interjected weakly: "If it's a mushroom, I will." “

Her words immediately brought her into focus, and everyone looked at the dexterous girl in unison. Yang Mingzhi hurriedly asked, "Besika, you just said that you can grow mushrooms?" ”

"That's right! I would, because I really planted and had some experience. ”

The so-called experience of star fruit was only a few years ago. Her father, who had died, not only took her hunting, but also taught her to gather. In the nearby mountains, there are not only prey, but also a variety of mountain treasures. Ginseng and reishi mushrooms are the most prized, but in addition to this, there are also a variety of edible mushrooms.

In order to collect better in the future, her father collected the soil covered with mycelium and brought it home, and after some processing, he made a culture medium, adding how much humus and how much water, and these things were taught to the young girl star fruit.

Those are her warm memories, and later her biological brother went to the army, and her younger brother stayed at home. After the disaster general, she was the only one who was searched by the devil in the dry well, and if her brother was still alive, she should have followed the Northeast Army into the customs. Because these are painful memories, star fruit is reluctant to uncover her scars and will not even tell her husband.

The reason why she can call her husband her brother very casually is also because her eldest brother, who is a soldier, is only a few years younger than Yang Mingzhi according to his age.

Star fruit claims that she grows mushrooms, makes cultures, and can tell what is edible and what is poisonous.

After her words, Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized. The girl's experience had long been exposed, and on the way to retreat, the warriors searched the forest for something to preserve. This girl can always find a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables. "Edible mushrooms are always inconspicuous, and poisonous ones are always too conspicuous." With a woman's intuition and a hunter's experience, star fruit was able to distinguish which mushrooms were edible in this foreign land, and even near the catfish village, she found areas where it was easy to grow mushrooms.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard what this girl had to say.

"If you follow my recipe and find the soil that contains mycelium, we can quickly make the medium, and then just put it in the right place and let it grow quietly." Star fruit's words are like mushrooms that can definitely be cultivated, and her sworn appearance made Yang Mingzhi feel more confident.

Mushrooms are fungal plants that can be cultivated as long as they maintain a constant temperature and humidity, and caves are undoubtedly a natural cultivation base.

Yang Mingzhi said: "Since our Black Mountain will seep into the rain after it rains, so that the humidity can be guaranteed. In terms of temperature, the special environment of the cave can keep it warm even in the coldest period, and the Xia family is also unusually cool. So we just dig more caves and specialize in mushroom production. So that even in winter, we can still produce some food to eat. ”

Being able to produce food in winter sounds very tempting, and everyone is excited by what Yang Mingzhi and his wife say.

"Since the deputy division commander thinks so, let's just act!" Holguin said.

"Okay! So, do you have any other objections, teacher? Yang Mingzhi turned his head and asked Yevlov, and received a fully supportive reply.

"Very well, Bessica! I'm giving you orders in the name of the chief, since you say you have the ability to make culture media, go for it! We just do it! ”

The situation became very abrupt, the star fruit stuck out her tongue, and she had another identity - a little girl picking mushrooms.

It was the husband's order, but also the commander's order, and the girl chose to obey it completely. However, she also made a small request, that is, she needed some people to follow her command and dig up the soil containing mycelium.

This visit to the construction site of the "Black Mountain" construction warehouse was really very rewarding, and Yang Mingzhi never imagined that his wife, who shared the same bed, would also grow mushrooms. If the cave is full of mushrooms as expected, and the warriors have one more dish on their table, there is more to it than that.

The potato is a staple food for the people, but it lacks a very important amino acid - tryptophan. If a person uses only potatoes for a long time, for example, resulting in a lack of some essential amino acids, the most significant result is not only mental malaise, but even strange ulceration on the body - after all, all kinds of amino acids needed by the human body work together to complete the construction of body cells.

If the energy produces mushrooms, the disadvantages of potatoes can be ignored. Because mushrooms are also rich in amino acids, the two can complement each other very well. In this way, the intake of wheat flour can be further reduced for ordinary people, and good food for the most capable of fighting, ordinary people, in this arduous war environment behind enemy lines, will not go hungry is already a great happiness.

Yang Mingzhi knew that the Slavic people had strong patience, and the common people supported the guerrillas in fighting the invaders, and they were willing to go hungry. Because everyone knows that if the enemy is not driven away, everyone will die.

In Belarus, many people choose to cooperate with the invaders in exchange for the gift of not killing. More people are fighting by various means, so in October, there are still sporadic people who have migrated to the swamps to escape the fighting, only to find that there is still a Soviet island.

Yang Mingzhi gave his wife a new task, and the girl immediately led a group of villagers into the mountains to search. Leaving in the morning and returning in the evening, several wagons filled with soil. Star fruit swears that these soils can make culture media.

Yang Mingzhi fully supported her work, and at the same time he was waiting for the production of anti-tank guns. The agreed time was three days, and that Rygushkov claimed that it would be done in two days, but who knows?

The weather is not beautiful, and the weather is cloudy and rainy. The rain in autumn is very delicate, the rain is not heavy, and the cooling is very obvious.

It rained, and Yang Mingzhi's biggest worry was the food problem. He immediately contacted the blacksmith village and asked Yerenkina to do something.

"You people rest easy, since you are in the blacksmith village, you are busy with your business. There is no need to worry about catfish village here, the waterproofing measures of each warehouse are very good! Yelenkina's words made Yang Mingzhi and the others very relieved.

But the man also forgot to say one thing - fishing.

When the rain came, the fish that inhabited the large ponds near the catfish village boiled, especially the catfish came out of the mud en masse. The predatory instinct of these creatures tends them to enter the surface waters, because the rising water will drown some animals, and they will eat the dead carcass, unexpectedly caught by the waiting predators.

On rainy days, it is a good time for fishing, and a group of warriors carrying nets made of hemp rope turned into fishermen, and they returned with a full load, and their faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest.

The catch was concentrated, Yerenkina looked at these lively fish excitedly, and ordered: "Make the fish as salted as possible, and use the salt airdropped to us sparingly." Salted fish was made, and we made it into a backup food to keep for the winter. (To be continued.) )
