Chapter 111: Planting Cold Mushrooms

Lu Fanhong and Wang Yibo drove all the way south to the planting base of the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

They were greeted by a 50-year-old man in the prime of life, and after he asked what he meant, he took them to a 2,000-square-meter greenhouse.

More than 30 movable seedbeds are covered with dense pine saplings about 50 cm high.

Ma Gong introduced: "This is the Masson pine, the roots can grow cold bacteria, we use hundreds of trees to pair with it, only the Masson pine has symbiosis. ”

"How long does it take for a sapling to produce bacteria?" Wang Yibo asked.

"Masson pine grows fast, adapts well, and can produce bacteria in three years. It can be continuously produced for 30 years. Ma Gong explained.

"How much is the production?" Lu Fanhong asked.

"One mu can plant 110 trees, can produce two seasons a year, each tree produces about one catty, and each mu can produce about 220 catties per year." The horseman replied.

"When will it be picked?" Wang Yibo asked.

"Cold mushrooms, also known as Chongyang fungi, goose and goose fungi, are generally picked during the Chongyang Festival when geese migrate southward." The horseman replied.

"How much is a sapling?" Lu Fanhong asked.

"$15."

"How many are there?"

"120,000 plants."

"How much can be cultivated each year?"

"60,000 plants."

"Okay, we've got it all."

"Huh? Do you want them all? Is your farm in the north? Only in the south does it grow cold bacteria. Ma Gong was stunned, the business of 2 million was done so easily.

"We planted it in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi." Lu Fanhong explained.

"It's easier to survive in the mountains." The horseman's face was full of laughter.

"Ma Gong, we will go to Xiangxi immediately, and after negotiating with the village in the past two days, we will return to sign the contract." Lu Fanhong said very earnestly.

"No problem, we will send planting experts to the site to guide and ensure that the seedlings survive."

The horse worker wanted to keep them for dinner, Lu Fanhong couldn't wait, he called the village chief, and went straight to his hometown.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they rushed to the village, and at the village chief's house, the village chief's wife had already prepared the meal, and they talked while eating.

"Village Chief, I have a good project, and I hope to get your support." Lu Fanhong got straight to the point.

"What project? Fan Hong, you have helped the villagers a lot, I believe in you, whatever you say, we will do it. "The village chief is an old man who has seen the world, and he knows that Lu Fanhong is for the good of the villagers.

"The farm is developing well now, and the brand is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I want to add some distinctive food, so I thought of the cold fungus here."

"Chill mushrooms are a good thing, but they are produced very little. If you want to buy it, I can ask the villagers to help, but I can't get much in a year. "The village chief was a little embarrassed.

"It's to buy some wild cold mushrooms, and the project I'm talking about is to artificially grow cold mushrooms."

"What? Artificially planted, I haven't heard of cold fungus can be artificially planted, no one has done it! "The village chief was a little incredible.

"Village chief, don't worry, I have a way, we just went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they have masson pine seedlings, planting masson pine trees, you can harvest cold mushrooms in three years, and you can harvest two seasons a year."

"The cold fungus grows on the roots of the masson pine and symbiotes with the pine tree." Wang Yibo added.

"The village chief, this is an expert on our farm, and he is still a graduate student."

"Then I believe it, there should be no problem with experts." The village chief suddenly became enlightened.

"The saplings are produced on our farm, and the villagers are only responsible for planting and maintaining, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is responsible for survival, and they will also send experts to provide regular on-site guidance."

"In this way, I am relieved, I am worried that I will not be able to grow and the money invested will be wasted."

"Village chief, after three years, the bacteria will grow, how about we accept it and sign a contract?" Lu Fanhong said eagerly.

"In this way, after eating, I will call a meeting of the villagers, and everyone agrees that we will do it."

"Let's participate too, I'll tell the villagers about the benefits of growing cold mushrooms."

"Okay." After the village chief finished speaking, he went to announce the meeting.

This remote mountain village rarely holds meetings, I heard that Lu Fanhong is back, many villagers came to see the excitement, everyone knows that Lu Fanhong has done a lot of good things for the villagers, I don't know what unexpected surprises.

The village chief told the villagers about Lu Fanhong's idea, and many villagers thought that it was inconceivable to artificially plant cold fungi, and that there was no one before or after, and that if one did not come out, they would work hard for three years in vain.

After Lu Fanhong introduced the successful case of the scientific planting of Masson pine seedlings by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the promotion in the province, some villagers were tempted.

He calculated an account, the villagers only put in labor, there is no risk, the risk is all on the farm, but the income is very attractive, after three years, the villagers can earn 10,000 yuan per mu, which is in the mountainous area, planting nothing and planting Masson pine trees has a high income.

After the masson pine saplings survive, you don't have to worry about it, just go and collect the cold fungus when the time comes. Don't worry about whether you can sell it or not.

Everyone talked about it, and ** was also engaged in returning farmland to forest, which just helped, and finally the villagers accepted Lu Fanhong's idea and agreed to plant masson pine saplings.

Lu Fanhong signed a contract with the village, and the farm provided saplings, and after three years, all cold fungi were underwritten.

Lu Fanhong and Wang Yibo rushed back to the provincial capital and signed a contract with Ma Gong's Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The contract stipulates that the farm will pay 50% of the advance payment, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will transport 120,000 masson pine seedlings to the site, guide the villagers to plant, ensure the survival rate of the seedlings is 98%, and pay the balance to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences after the farm is accepted.

On the same day, Lu Fanhong called the farm finance and transferred the advance payment of 900,000 yuan to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences at a unit price of 15 yuan per plant.

The two waited for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to load the saplings into the car, and Wang Yibo followed the car according to the instructions of the leader.

Lu Fanhong instructed Wang Yibo to follow up the whole process of planting, and he would be responsible for future maintenance.

Lu Fanhong calculated that three years later, the annual farm planting income of cold fungus will be about 8 million, and if it is further processed, it will produce millions of added value.

In the past three years, some wild cold mushrooms were first harvested, made into cold fungus oil, and sold in the old street of the farm, so as to make a name for themselves first, and lay a good foundation for a large number of sales in the future.

Lu Fanhong drove a Toyota domineeringly, all the way north, humming a little song, and rushed back to the farm.
