The arrival of Wang Mingyuan and others, Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli, were quite happy.

Because it means that you can have a decent meal.

As long as you can eat a few good meals, then, in this sinkhole, life is quite comfortable.

Therefore, when Wang Mingyuan apologized and told the two that they still needed to stay here for a few days, the two said that it was all a trivial matter - the fields had been distributed to the family, the seeds had been put in place, the cattle had been bought, and the crops would be planted soon, and they didn't have to worry about anything, everything was arranged properly.

The two couldn't wait to divide the fire into two piles, one of the fires was on the shelves of copper pots to cook rice, and the other was on the iron pots, poured oil and added the hot pot base and water brought by Wang Mingyuan, chopped some beef and mutton and ham with machetes and threw them in to cook, watching the flames lick at the bottom of the pot, they couldn't help but swallow.

Kang Moxiang's attention was almost all on the white baby elephant, and he was trying to get close to the baby elephant.

Probably the reason why I have been in contact with Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli in the past two days, it is not wary of the arrival of strangers, it rolls and crashes in the mud by itself, and has a very comfortable time, occasionally standing up is a wild throw, the mud on his body splashes around, and the unprepared Kang Moxiang was suddenly hit, but he didn't care at all, but laughed happily.

Wang Mingyuan was not idle, he called Zhang Shouzhong, and the two walked around the forest together.

Land planning and infrastructure construction in the sinkhole are discussed.

Which trees should be cut down, where roads should be built, where should they be leveled and what should be built, etc.

The area of four or five hundred acres is not very large, but it didn't take long to take a rough look.

Wang Mingyuan didn't forget it, and picked some wild vegetables along the way.

A soup pot without green vegetables has no soul.

The blend of meat and vegetables will make the taste more authentic.

Hearing Zhang Shouyi shouting for dinner, when Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Shouzhong took a shortcut to return, he suddenly had a surprise discovery.

In the woodlands and meadows by the ditches, on the thick rotten leaves, mushrooms with white stems and brown tops grow lonely, and as far as the eye can see, there are twenty or thirty flowers around.

The cap is nearly spherical, and the surface is reticulated, similar to a sheep's tripe, yes, it's morel!

It's a delicacy on the table.

"Hurry up, third uncle, hurry up and help collect all these mushrooms, and then see if there are any around." We've got something delicious today! ”

Wang Mingyuan shouted excitedly.

He always thought that in this mountain forest, mushrooms only grow vigorously in June and July, but he didn't expect that in May, they already existed.

Moreover, it seems that some of the larger ones, the stem and the cover, have begun to rot, and some have already rotted into a lump on the ground, and the time to grow out is not short.

It's a pity that I didn't find out earlier.

Yun Province is the kingdom of edible mushrooms, and the people here have always been fond of wild mushrooms, even at the risk of lying on the board.

Wild mushrooms that are delicious, delicate, or chewy, with their own unique flavors, are also Wang Mingyuan's favorites.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Of course, although he grew up in Mingcheng, he often went to Zhangjiaao to accompany his grandfather during the summer vacation when he was a child, and he also had the opportunity to enter the mountains and fields, and came into contact with some wild mushrooms, which was somewhat cognitive.

After his grandfather passed away, he rarely went to Zhangjiaao, living in school or in the city all the year round, and if he wanted to eat wild mushrooms, he could only go to the market to buy them, and most of his cognition still came from the market.

It was also in the market that he learned about this wild mushroom that comes from the mountains but often appears in high-end occasions - morels.

You know, morel mushrooms in the mushroom market in the later years of Yun Province is definitely a famous existence, the market price, fresh almost 100 to 200 yuan a catty, dry products, the price can reach thousands of yuan a catty, this is still artificially planted, wild prices will be higher. (Eight to ten catties of fresh products can produce one pound of dry products)

In the survey conducted by Wang Mingyuan in Mangxian and Mingcheng this time, this morel mushroom is also on the list.

The purchase price in Mangxian was two yuan a pound of dry goods, and when it arrived in Mingcheng, it reached five yuan a catty.

In these 80s, there was a lot of money.

Bringing it to 2023, it is very interesting.

It seems that he should hurry up and pick a wave, and he will not lose anything.

"Tripe vegetables, I know this thing, someone in the commune bought it, a piece of three or one catties of sun-dried, this thing is not much, dried lightly, if the sun is good, it has to be sun-dried for two or three days, and it is very easy to spoil, especially troublesome, no one makes it, and when I encounter it, I take it home and cook it and eat it, but it tastes really good."

Zhang Shouzhong expressed his disdain: "With that kind of idle time, it is better to go up to the mountains to hunt and get a few rabbits and pheasants, which is more interesting than this." ”

is good at hunting, for Zhang Shouzhong, obtaining prey is more profitable than picking up fungi.

"Third uncle, you are wrong about this, these days, let alone two pieces of money, even if it is one or two cents, it is money, sometimes, a penny is enough to stump the heroes, don't underestimate their role, if you can make the villagers have an extra income in their pockets, it is also good."

Wang Mingyuan said with a smile: "Ploughing cattle bought, the land is easy to plant, on weekdays go up the mountain to collect firewood, accumulate fertilizer, with cattle, you can do many days of work a day, and you don't have to grind your shoulders all the time, this time, people will be a lot easier, there will be a lot more time, use this time to make some money, subsidize the family, live a better life, why don't we do it?"

Besides, an experienced hunter like you can find a few more of them. We have to find a way to make everyone get better together, hello everyone, it's really good! They are all people in the mountains, as the old saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, our wealth is in this mountain, what we have to do is to dig them out. ”

Zhang Shouzhong stopped picking up morels, lowered his head and thought about it, then turned back and looked at Wang Mingyuan seriously: "Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, everyone's good is really good, it really makes sense, my vision is still too short-sighted." ”

After a pause, Zhang Shouzhong then asked, "You, do you have any ideas again!" ”

"I'm going to buy a wave of morels!" Wang Mingyuan did not hide it.

"How?"

"According to the commune's purchase of three catties a piece and two cents, the people in the village can go up the mountain to find it, and they can also pass on the matter of our purchase of morels, so that the people from the nearby production team can also help pick them up." Wang Mingyuan thought for a moment and said.

"Increase the purchase price of two cents a catty, and let the people from the nearby production team also pick it up, what do you think?" Zhang Shouzhong was puzzled.

In his opinion, it is clearly a cheap outsider's approach.

"A pound of raising hair, which can better improve people's enthusiasm for picking up mushrooms, think about it, the nearby production team is not like the Chenjiagou production team, the storage room was burned, and the seeds were destroyed. The production team that is busy with people, the fields have already been planted, and it is still early to transplant seedlings and hoe weeds, and the rest of the time is mainly to accumulate fertilizer, so to speak, the matter of accumulation of fertilizer is something that is done all year round.

The main thing about manure is soil fertilizer, and soil fertilizer has to go to the mountains, and they have a lot of opportunities to contact morels.

Otherwise, relying on us Zhangjiaao alone, we can find how many in a day, and we don't have a head at all.

In addition, there is another reason, I have been to Mangxian a few times, and I have also looked around, in our commune, the purchase price of morels is three per piece, and the purchase price in Mangxian has reached two, and in the big city, the price may be higher, if the things are collected, take them to Mangxian to sell...... Do you still think that the price is high after raising it by two cents? ”

Wang Mingyuan looked at Zhang Shouzhong with a smile, and saw that his slightly frowning brows gradually relaxed, and then he also laughed.

"Speaking of which, as soon as things are sold to Mangxian, one pound can make a net profit of five jiao, ten catties and five fast...... Or you kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and a lot of words do have a head. ”

"Then let's do this, after going back, put the news to the surrounding production team, just one month, anyway, by that time, the morel mushrooms on the mountain are long gone, we go out of each family, go to each production team to take it back, and hand it over to me to deal with, and the money earned at that time is considered to be collective income, and each family will share dividends according to the proportion of capitation."

Wang Mingyuan was blunt.
