Chapter 20 Don't Say It's Forgotten
"When will the fungus grow?" Li Chengshou didn't overdo it, and separated himself from Zhang Tao.
"It's going to take more than 20 days."
After Zhang Tao finished speaking, there is still a long time before the mushrooms come out, and during this time, take care of the temperature and humidity, and occasionally ventilate at night, and there is nothing left. If the situation is good, mushrooms will grow in one go, and it will be a long time before they are sold for money.
She doesn't know what mushrooms are dug up from the mountains, and the growth cycle of different mushrooms is different, for example, straw mushrooms can be harvested and sold in about 30 days, oyster mushrooms take about four months, and if they are shiitake mushrooms, it will take six or seven months.
For such a long time, you can't wait for the mushrooms dryly, what if the cultivation fails and the mushrooms don't come out.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tao said to Li Chengshou, "Why don't we raise some chickens and earthworms?" ”
Zhang Tao remembered that in some places, he raised free-range chickens, just to feed earthworms, and it happened that he had just told Aunt Li about earthworms.
"Earthworm fishing?"
What Zhang Tao and Aunt Li said just now, Li Chengshou heard it, and he thought that Zhang Tao was really raising earthworms for fishing.
"No, earthworms are raised to feed chickens, my hometown is raising earthworms to feed chickens, chickens grow fast, one egg a day, it's amazing."
"Oh, if you want to raise us, you can raise it," anyway, it's all about making money to support yourself, and what you raise doesn't make much difference to Li Chengshou, "I remember you said before that when the weather is warm and there are more plants, you want to pick materials for rouge, should we still get them?" ”
followed Zhang Tao to do rouge for a few days, Li Chengshou felt that rouge made money very quickly, anyway, they couldn't hunt prey now, they couldn't pick up fungi, so they tried any tricks.
"Ah, if you don't say it, I'll forget." Zhang Tao slapped himself on the thigh, these days he fell in love with the life of the farmhouse, and completely forgot that he was still a craftsman who could make rouge.
"I'll go tomorrow, and then let's go buy some materials for rouge, we don't have much money, let's buy less first, and buy more if it sells well."
With limited money in his hand, it is difficult for Zhang Tao to show his strength to do it, and Zhang Tao is already very satisfied with this step.
Zhang Tao's statement, Li Chengshou did not have any opinions, and another thing was decided.
If you want to make a good rouge gouache, the extraction of essential oils is the most important. Zhang Tao now has limited energy and an urgent need to make money, so he didn't make any time-consuming and labor-intensive rouge recipes, but chose some simple, more common materials, and not too cumbersome recipes.
The rouge made from fresh flowers has a unique fragrance, but the shelf life is generally not too long, according to Zhang Tao's previous understanding of the market, she is ready to set up a stall to sell it first.
Finding a rouge shop directly can indeed save a lot of trouble, but it is not conducive to Zhang Tao to get feedback from the market in time, what kind of rouge women need, what kind of taste they like, and even what kind of price everyone is more willing to accept.
All this information can only be understood by direct contact with consumers, and the most authentic feedback can be obtained. She has a heart that is not willing to be mediocre, even if she can't enter the court as an official, it is not difficult to become a giant.
She always firmly believes that pie will not fall from the sky, but there is a reward for hard work.
Therefore, Zhang Tao directly separates the petals and heart stamens, dries them separately, and then adds them to the rouge after fine grinding, so that the use period of rouge is longer than that of fresh flowers, and it is more suitable for ordinary people.
