Chapter 79: Seek it up the mountain
In addition to Lin Shuqing's own chickens and ducks, other people who work in the tofu factory take the bean dregs back to feed their own chickens and ducks.
After a long time, I found that the rise of this chicken and duck is very gratifying, that is, the pigs in the pigsty have eaten this bean dregs, and they have grown a lot fatter than in previous years.
For a time, every household arose to use this bean dregs to feed chickens and ducks.
In the past, the chickens and ducks were allowed to go out to find food by themselves, or cut some pigweed outside and feed them together.
Now it's different, with okara, every household has less work to cut pigweed.
And this okara is also easy to store, where it can be dried and will not be broken. When you want to use it, break a piece and throw it into the pot and cook it with other things.
Make tofu at home with your own home, and take it directly from the factory if you make tofu from the tofu factory.
Everyone doesn't know what's good about this bean dregs, and they know how to praise it, it's worthy of being eaten by people, and they can grow so strong after feeding the ducks.
Tofu and bean dregs contain a lot of oil, although they are not squeezed out, it does not mean that they are not.
Lin Shuqing listened to everyone's discussions, and thought silently in her heart, probably only to blame on the oil in the beans.
But now, it's not appropriate to tell everyone that beans can be squeezed for oil.
Later, many merchants sent rapeseed one after another, but there were not as many as the first time the merchants sent more, and even only a few.
About a handful of more than a handful, or a dozen or so found in the wild, Lin Shuqing still exchanged yuba for them one by one according to the price.
Lin Shuqing couldn't figure out the reason for this, and she couldn't inquire about the first businessman to arrive.
As for whether the yuba in the tofu factory is enough for the businessmen outside to rob it, it is not her business.
She was busy building a mushroom house for the village.
The mushroom room, as the name suggests, is a place where mushrooms are grown.
This is what she coaxed Wen Liang to cover for her, and it is also a simple and profitable business that she said.
Build a clean house, then get some wood chips and weeds and stuff like that, and wait until May or June to start growing mushrooms.
Keep it for yourself to eat, or dry it and sell it.
The main thing is that this thing does not take up space, and it is a work of sprinkling water every day, and it is effortless, and the mushrooms grown are sold much more expensive than the vegetables in the field, especially when winter comes.
But the only difficulty is to find the fungus.
Where can I find strains?
It also depends on the almighty nature.
Lin Shuqing changed into men's clothes, carried a basket on her back, prepared a wooden stick and a small knife and hoe for herself, and filled her backpack with some dry food and water, and went to the mountains.
Her actions like this scared the people of the village.
The skilled hunter didn't dare to go directly into the mountains like this, why did you go as a little girl?
immediately stepped forward to stop Lin Shuqing.
"Girl, what are you looking for, you have to have it in the mountains, can't you go to the county seat to buy it? How dangerous it is in the mountains! If you run into any jackals, tigers and leopards, you won't be enough to stuff your teeth! ”
"Lin girl, you want to go, how about I find a few hunters in the village next door to accompany you?"
"You bring the son of the old Zhao family, he has touched and killed wolves in the mountains, but it is amazing!"
Everyone talked to Lin Shuqing about how to protect themselves.
"I know the big guy's concern, I know it in my own heart, I don't go to the deep mountains and old forests, I just go around trying to find a damp place...... "Because there are mushrooms in damp and shady places."
There were no particularly high mountains in this place, and there were many steep mountains, and she could tell from a distance whether the vegetation and soil on them were suitable.
Therefore, this is the reason why she dared to go outside the mountains and forests alone.
As for the rest, she wore men's clothes with her face blackened and worn out, and it is estimated that there will be no crazy people who take a fancy to her, and even if she passes by, she will only think that she is a poor boy.
"Girl, then find someone to drive you back, and you don't have to walk so far! And they know the way, and they can take you wherever you want to go......"
Lin Shuqing was quite moved by this proposal, so she agreed.
Therefore, the village specially sent a young and strong man to drive a donkey cart and take Lin Shuqing to the mountains around Xigui County to find what she wanted.
After all, the things found are for the benefit of the people in the village, and Lin Shuqing also told them in advance, so everyone has no objections, let alone complaints.
Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and after three or four days of hard work, Lin Shuqing found a lot of suitable strains.
You can't use the fungus directly, you have to soak it in warm water and wait for it to grow slowly.
If you grow a little longer, it is estimated that it will be enough to keep in a wooden house.
Therefore, the search for strains cannot be stopped, and it must be continued.
However, after all these days, the surrounding mountains were all covered by her, and she could only go farther away.
However, the weather was not very good on this day, and it was raining lightly.
Lin Shuqing was being taken by an uncle surnamed Zhang in the village to a slightly higher mountain in a donkey cart.
Seeing that the rain was heavy, the two found a place to hide from the rain.
Uncle Zhang is a kind person, the children in the family are almost the same as Lin Shuqing, and he treats his daughter well on weekdays.
Lin Shuqing is not stingy with the people who help her catch the car, and she pays to make up for the delayed work time, and gives 20 wen every day. In this way, the village even chose to find such a candidate and went to Lin Shuqing to catch a car.
This rain is spring rain, thin and soft, although it is not big, it is also annoying to wet clothes, and it will also be infected with wind cold.
There was no thunder and lightning in this weather, so Lin Shuqing took Uncle Zhang to hide from the rain under the tree.
The two of them found a tree with broad branches and leaves, which could hold back most of the rain.
Not long after he was squatting under the tree, something suddenly happened to the donkey over there.
As if something had startled it, it immediately ran away.
"Eh, my donkey ......," Uncle Zhang exclaimed as he looked at the donkey in the distance.
"Lin girl, I'm going to chase the donkey first, you wait for me here!" After saying this, Uncle Zhang immediately ran away, and he couldn't care about the rain.
"Uncle Zhang, be careful on the road!" Lin Shuqing shouted.
Lin Shuqing stood in place for a while, waited for the rain to stop, and entered the mountain by himself without waiting for Uncle Zhang to come back.
It stands to reason that when it rains, this mushroom will grow a stubble, and maybe the places that were picked before will now grow new mushrooms.
Lin Shuqing followed the shade of the mountain to find it, and there was a lot of mud on her feet.
In addition to mushrooms, the fastest growing species in the mountains are bamboo.
After the rain, it can be rubbed high, and it does not take a few days to grow from bamboo shoots to bamboo.
Lin Shuqing saw that there was a small bamboo forest on the way here, so he planted it headlong.
In terms of size, winter bamboo shoots are the largest and fattest. There are also bamboo shoots in spring, but they are the size of chopsticks, and the layers of skin on the outside are not easy to peel, with an astringent taste.
However, the tender and raw taste is incomparable to other bamboo shoots.
When I go back, whether it's stir-fried meat or stir-fried pickles, it's very good.
Lin Shuqing had previously found a lot of bamboo shoots to go home and take them back to add a dish.
She was collecting a handful of bamboo shoots, and suddenly she felt multiple shadows behind her, and hot air was spraying hot air on her neck.
Suddenly his whole body stiffened, and his head broke out in a cold sweat.
Holding the knife in his hand, he didn't dare to move.
