Chapter Forty-Seven: Clever Tricks to Buy Strains
After the nourishment is prepared, it is the turn to load, the loading can be used in the usual plastic bags, each bag is about 200 to 300 grams, the bag should be tight and the surface should be flat, and then a ventilation hole should be pierced in the middle, sealed with a face plug, and wrapped in a layer of kraft paper outside.
They don't have ready-made plastic bags, and kraft paper, which can't be used too dirty. It just so happened that the commissary went to buy the goods, and Xue Yi asked people to bring some back, but the things were in a hurry, and they spent some more money than usual.
These are all easy to say, the next most troublesome is sterilization, the unscrupulous recipe said, the nutrient in the process of configuration and the bags and bottles used for loading may contain a large number of bacteria, so in order to ensure the healthy growth of Ganoderma lucidum, they must be sterilized.
They don't have any sterilization equipment here, Zhang Xiaoying thought about it for a long time, and then came up with a way to sterilize it with a pressure cooker.
The pressure cooker was found by Xue Wei from a relative's house, and the pot used to cook rice at other people's homes was brushed by them and used to cook bottles, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.
They put the bags and bottles in a pressure cooker and autoclave them so that no bacteria can invade. It's just that it's too troublesome to do so, and how many times do bags of nutrients have to be burned to sterilize.
These are all ready, what is missing is the strain.
Zhang Xiaoying counted the time, and the strains arrived at this time in her previous life, and she happened to buy them from the farmer in Xuejia Village.
She went to Xue Yi and said that they would go to Xuejia Village together.
Xue Wei wondered, "Why haven't I heard of any kinds of Ganoderma lucidum in Xuejia Village?" ”
Zhang Xiaoying said with a smile: "I just heard about it, and it just so happens that people have it in their hands, so let's buy it and save it from other provinces." ”
You must know that the strains were not common at this time, and the farmer also bought them through a Taiwanese businessman.
The two rode bicycles to Xuejia Village, and according to their impressions, Zhang Xiaoying found this farmer named Xuecheng.
This man was in his forties, a very business-minded man, and the first of several villages in the neighborhood to become rich.
His family also lived in a spacious house, with five brick houses in front of him and a large courtyard.
Looking like a place in her impression, Zhang Xiaoying jumped out of the car, "This is it." ”
Xue Yi looked left and right, he had also been to Xuejia Village, and he really didn't know that there was such a household, and he didn't know how she knew.
The two knocked on the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, probably Xue Cheng's daughter-in-law.
As soon as he heard that they had come to Xue Cheng, he said, "Our head is in the field, so go to the field and look for it." ”
She said and stretched out her hand, "The piece of land in the west of the village belongs to my family." ”
There is a large piece of land in the west of the village, which has more than a dozen acres, all of which are contracted by Xue Cheng.
Their village began to divide the land in the first half of the year, and Xue Cheng had a flexible mind and contracted 18 acres of land for planting in one go.
When the two of them arrived at the field, they saw a man in his forties working in the field with a few villagers.
Zhang Xiaoying walked over and wanted to take a look at the bags of nutrients. As soon as he squatted down, before his fingers touched the bag, someone shouted: "Hey, little girl, this is not the place for you, go home and play." ”
That person should be a worker, Zhang Xiaoying ignored him, and only whispered to Xue Cheng: "Yo, this is Chizhi." ”
Xue Cheng glanced at her, a little surprised, "You haven't found Miao Lai yet, you know it's Chizhi?" ”
Zhang Xiaoying smiled, "The color of the reishi is a little darker, and it is not difficult to recognize." ”
She squatted on the ground and looked at the strains in small bags, probably because of the rainy weather, the fungi did not grow well, and some of them seemed to have hair.
She said in a low voice: "The mycelium growth range is 15-35 degrees, suitable for 25-30 degrees, the mycelium can tolerate low temperatures below 0 degrees and high temperatures of 38 degrees, the temperature for the formation and growth and development of the fruiting body primordium is 10-32 degrees, and the most suitable temperature is 25-28 degrees." ”
Xue Cheng looked at her with some surprise, "You know this?" ”
In her previous life, she learned a lot of Lingzhi techniques from this Xue Cheng, and she has turned over a lot of related books these days, so she knows a little more.
She touched her nose a little embarrassed, and said that this was still given to her by him. It's just that this is the pattern he found out after planting Ganoderma lucidum for a few years.
Now he is almost as much a layman as she is.
Zhang Xiaoying deliberately teased, and said: "Under this temperature condition, the fruiting body develops normally, the texture of the Ganoderma lucidum is tight, the skin shell layer is good, the color is bright, the fruiting body cultivated in higher than 30 degrees grows faster, the ontogenetic cycle is short, the texture is looser, the skin shell and color are poor, the fruiting body grows slowly when it is lower than 25 degrees, the skin shell and color are also poor, when it is lower than 20 degrees, on the surface of the medium, the mycelium is easy to appear yellow, and the growth of the fruiting body will also be inhibited, and when it is higher than 38 degrees, the mycelium is about to die." ”
She reached out and rummaged through the bag containing the mycelium, "Part of the reason why your fungus doesn't grow well is because the temperature is not well controlled. ”
Xue Cheng's face was full of surprise, clapped his hands, and shouted: "Come, everyone stop, come and listen to the little expert teach us." ”
Zhang Xiaoying was embarrassed, "Where will I teach any class?" ”
Xue Cheng smiled: "Deserved, as far as you know, we don't know, and tell us about our long experience." ”
He said, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”
Zhang Xiaoying said: "My name is Zhang Xiaoying. ”
Xue Cheng raised his arms and shouted, "Okay, let's applaud Teacher Zhang." ”
The applause rang out, and seven or eight people surrounded them, waiting to listen to Zhang Xiaoying's lecture.
Zhang Xiaoying was embarrassed, but looking at so many expectant eyes, she had to say, "Okay, I'll give you a brief explanation." ”
She cleared her throat and said, "In addition to the temperature, the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum also depends on the moisture. Water is also one of the main conditions for the growth and development of Ganoderma lucidum, when the fruiting body grows, it needs higher water, but different growth and development stages have different water requirements, in the mycelial growth stage, the water content in the medium is required to be 65%, and the relative humidity of the air is 65%-70%, in the growth and development stage of the fruiting body, the relative humidity of the air should be controlled at 85%-95%, if the bottom is 60%, the young fruiting body that has just grown in 2-3 days will have white and gray and die......"
She was talking here, and someone took the note and wrote it down.
Xue Cheng made a lot of money from Zhong Lingzhi in his previous life, but this time the start was not smooth, the greenhouse was not built well, and half of the seeds sown always did not grow.
He was also anxious, but he was the first household of this kind of Ganoderma lucidum, and he had no place to learn technology.
This time, it was easy to come to such a little girl, who looked inconspicuous, but a mouth shocked them for a moment.
He took the pen and wrote down what she said, and held her hand and said excitedly, "Teacher Zhang, you are really amazing." Why don't we hire you to be the Lingzhi consultant in our village? ”
Zhang Xiaoying hurriedly waved her hand, "Where can I do this, we are also here to learn art." ”
Xue Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Look, I'm so busy talking about my business, I didn't even ask what you guys are doing here?" ”
Xue Yi couldn't help but interject: "We're here to buy mushrooms." ”
Just now, he saw that everyone's eyes were paying attention to Zhang Xiaoying, although he also admired Zhang Xiaoying in his heart for being well-informed, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing Xue Cheng ask at this moment, he couldn't help but blurt out.
Xue Cheng was a little strange, "Buy strains?" Where do you buy strains? ”
Zhang Xiaoying said: "Big brother, we just heard that you have entered a batch of strains and want to buy some from you, and we also want to go back to grow Ganoderma lucidum." ”
Xue Cheng smiled, "I'm afraid it's not easy to do, I don't buy many strains of bacteria, I just planted it to see a little effect, if it can grow, I will plant it in large quantities." ”
Zhang Xiaoying fiddled with the nutrient bag on the ground with her foot, "Don't you see that the effect is not very good?" It's better to sell me some and lose a little less. ”
Xue Cheng looked at her and smacked his lips, Zhang Xiaoying's words were in his heart.
In fact, he also encountered this situation in his previous life, the first time he planted the fungus did not live, at that time he had no way out, he could only face the difficulties, and wait for the second planting, only to achieve better results.
But now he hasn't grown any profits, and it is when people are the most vulnerable, and when she says this, he really doesn't know how to choose.
Sell the fungus to her, his previous efforts are in vain, but if he doesn't sell it, looking at this hairy nutrient bag, he really can't make up his mind for a while.
As soon as Zhang Xiaoying saw his expression, she expected him to hesitate, and thought for a while: "Big brother, it's fate that we know each other, or it's better to do this, you sell us a little fungus, and you keep half of it yourself, and then I will teach you the method of growing Ganoderma lucidum for free." Let's make money together, what do you think? ”
Xue Cheng was also a happy person, and when he heard it, he said, "Okay, that's it." I'll sell half of the strains to you at the purchase price, and you transfer the technology to me, and you'll have to be responsible for teaching my workers, don't you think it's okay? ”
Zhang Xiaoying said: "Naturally, we will have to do business together in the future, and this cooperation is still possible." ”
Xue Cheng looked at her with an old look and laughed, "Which village are you from?" You little girl is very clever, and you are really a piece of business material. ”
Zhang Xiaoying said with a smile: "I'm from Wharf Village, this is not following in the footsteps of the eldest brother, we will not be a little bit of the skin of the eldest brother." ”
Xue Cheng shook his head, "You girl is not simple, you are so knowledgeable at a young age, and you will be able to pay it back in the future?" When you grow up, we'll have to give you land. ”
Zhang Xiaoying looked up and smiled, "Let what?" The road is so wide, and the money is not earned by one person, can't we go together? ”
Xue Cheng was stunned for a moment, then clasped his palms and laughed, "Okay, let's go together." ”
The matter of the strain was finalized so quickly, and Zhang Xiaoying was also very happy in her heart.
