When Wang Mingyuan chose Tiankeng as his farm, he once thought carefully about the medicine he wanted to grow.

At the beginning, what he wanted to plant was Panax notoginseng.

The foreign trade brought by the reform and opening up, everywhere business opportunities, this also makes the Wenshan, the authentic origin of Sanqi, after 80 years, this southern sacred grass, greatly favored by foreign countries, the price has soared.

This allowed those big notoginseng planters to get the first enviable wealth.

There are not many cars in Wenshan City, but in the small town, tens of thousands of yuan of motorcycles are full of smoke.

However, the time to plant notoginseng has passed, and notoginseng has not been able to solve the problem of heavy stubble in this year.

Once cultivated, harvested in three years, the used land, must wait for one or two decades of natural recovery before it can be used again, otherwise the disease will be very serious, and it is common for the harvest to be lost.

This is also the reason why a large number of notoginseng growers have gone out of Wenshan to plant in other parts of Yunnan Province.

The second medicinal herb that Wang Mingyuan considered planting was gastrodia.

Gastrodia is a very peculiar plant, no leaves and no roots, the nutrients it needs to grow depend on the honey ring fungus, the cultivation process of gastrodia, more like the process of cultivating the honey ring fungus.

The cultivation of honey ring fungus requires strains and various broad-leaved wood segments, which is the material that can be easily obtained in this primeval forest.

The biggest benefit is extensive management.

After digging a pond between the trees, the wood section shrinks and is grafted with the honey ring fungus, and then the seeds of gastrodia can be sprinkled, and then it is waiting for it to grow naturally, and it will take about three years before there is a big harvest.

With little need for human management, labor can be greatly freed up to exploit the resources of primary forests.

However, in this year, the price of gastrodia is not high, almost 30 yuan per kilogram.

Although 30 yuan is already very high in this year, it is still a lot worse than 90 years later, after speculation, it has reached thousands of yuan a catty.

In comparison, Ganoderma lucidum that can be cultivated with similar materials is more valuable for cultivation.

Red Ganoderma lucidum is the best in appearance, medicinal properties and selling price among all Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum, since ancient times has been included in the list of fairy grass, in the 80s, but also because TV began to enter thousands of households, by the TV series about the exaggeration of the miraculous role of Ganoderma lucidum, many people rushed to the mountain, saw a Ganoderma lucidum, are like a treasure, once appeared almost wiped out.

A wild Ganoderma lucidum, in the mid-to-late 80s, was even fried to the extent of tens of thousands of yuan a kilogram because of exports.

Needless to say, Ganoderma lucidum is very valuable in this era, very valuable.

In later generations, whether it is Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia gastrodia or Ganoderma lucidum, it has long been artificially planted, flooded in large quantities, and the price is as low as dozens of yuan a catty.

Going back to the 80s is undoubtedly very worthwhile.

Therefore, when Zhou Jianjun, director of the Mingcheng Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, asked Wang Mingyuan what he planned to plant, Wang Mingyuan told him this answer that made him very satisfied.

Especially when Wang Mingyuan told him that he had mastered the cultivation technology of Ganoderma lucidum, Zhou Jianjun was even a little shocked.

You must know that in this year, the artificial cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum has just been in the exploration stage, and many technologies are not yet mature.

Wang Mingyuan is different, he can easily obtain the Ganoderma lucidum strains and management technology he needs by returning to 2023.

No matter how you look at it, planting Ganoderma lucidum is a sure-fire business.

Wang Mingyuan also plans to wait until the teleportation point to the coastal port city is opened, and also buy a large number of Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia, and Ganoderma lucidum from later generations, and resell them.

It is also good to take the opportunity to pick up a wave of wool from neighboring countries, especially the small days that are extremely respected for domestic culture, whether it is Panax notoginseng or Ganoderma lucidum, they are the main force of consumption, and they do not earn in vain.

Since it is used as a cover, things are simple.

Wang Mingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the suggestion of the two.

"Hurry up and let them make an oversized steamer out of wooden planks!" Wang Mingyuan excitedly instructed Song Qingwen that this steamer doesn't need to be too fine, and it doesn't matter if it's rough, just cover the hot springs. “

"Right away!" Song Qingwen soon left.

The young men all had some skills in this area, and after receiving Wang Mingyuan's instructions, they quickly took action.

At noon, a huge steamer that could hold at least two sides was made of wooden planks, and the wooden wedges were connected and formed around it, and they also found rattan mixed with iron wire, and hooped it six times, and it looked very solid.

On the hot spring, it was carried by thick logs, and the wooden planks were put together to make a path, and seven or eight people worked together to successfully put the steamer on the hot spring spring.

Looking at the steamer steaming hot, Wang Mingyuan was very satisfied, and immediately asked people to fill it with sawdust, cover it with a round lid made of wooden boards, and start steaming.

For the next two days, this thing was repeated.

The sawdust is changed every five or six hours, three times a day, and the steamed sawdust is sent to a large hole to cool down, piled up in a very high pile.

As early as the last time he returned from 2023, Wang Mingyuan had already prepared the third-level species of Ganoderma lucidum and placed it in his personal space. This time, from 2023 to 1980, more than 2,000 fungus bags were purchased for inoculating strains and fermenting mycelium.

For the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum in the sinkhole, Wang Mingyuan walked as if it were wild cultivation, but even so, almost 200 bags of mycelium were still needed per acre.

More than 400 acres of land, tens of thousands of bags alone, not a small amount, taken out at once, in the face of other people's surprise, he didn't know how to explain.

Moreover, these sawdust are not enough.

Wang Mingyuan is just doing it, he is working hard here to pack the fungus bags, without any machine operation, just with these men on the farm, tens of thousands of fungus bags, it is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

In addition, it takes about a month for the fungus bag to be filled with culture medium and inserted into the Ganoderma lucidum strain, before the mycelium can grow into the fungus bag and become usable.

This is an extremely tedious process.

With all kinds of tossing here, it is better to buy the finished Ganoderma lucidum mushroom stick directly from 2023, and then directly inoculate and cultivate.

In a month's time, you can make three round-trips, and with Wang Mingyuan's now larger and larger carry-on space, it is really not difficult to carry it.

If you want to harvest a wave of Ganoderma lucidum this year, you are counting on ready-made mushroom sticks.

It's okay if it's a little late, this is in the Hongzhou boundary, in such a primeval forest, it is a hot and humid place, not to mention anything else, the hot springs alone can provide a lot of heat.

Reishi mushrooms can last longer than elsewhere.

Therefore, Wang Mingyuan took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy, took out a part of the fungus bag and fungus, called Song Qingwen back again, and personally taught him how to put these sawdust into bags to make fungus sticks, how to keep eyes in the middle, inoculate Ganoderma lucidum strains, and where to place them.

After seeing him install several fungus sticks and thinking that there was no problem, Wang Mingyuan became a hand-shaking cadre.

Song Qingwen was very puzzled by this move, he really had never seen such a strange seed, and he asked repeatedly, but was sent away by Wang Mingyuan's sentence "Don't ask more, just do it".

"I need to go out!" Wang Mingyuan said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Where are you going?" Liu Li, who had been up for three days in a row, asked in surprise.

Boiling eagles is an extremely boring thing, even if Wang Mingyuan helps greet him for four or five hours a day and gives him a certain amount of rest, Liu Li at this time also looks sluggish and haggard.

"I went out to get seeds, and when I was going to plant this thing here, I had already entrusted the relationship and let people start to prepare, I had to go to Mingcheng, find Director Zhou, and get a car to pull it back...... Your gold withering boils slowly, it's really not good, find someone else to help. ”

The things that are sold in your own space have not been explained, and the mushroom sticks can't come out of thin air, so going out to find the mushroom sticks and getting a truck by the way is the best excuse.

As for where to pull it and what the relationship is, Wang Mingyuan doesn't need to say much, just let them think about it.

"Okay, I'll get someone else to help!" Liu Li knows the priorities, and it is impossible to delay the more important matters of the farm because of the matter of boiling the eagle.

In the afternoon, Li Tong took over the affairs of patrolling the border, and after Zhang Shouzhong led the people back to Tiankeng, Wang Mingyuan explained to him about the construction of the house, and called Zhang Shouli and two other young people to return to Zhangjiaao.

Zhang Shouli and the three of them were prepared for the replacement of Zhang Shouyi, which can be regarded as a rotational rest.

Back in Zhangjiaao, Zhang Shouyi came over: "Yesterday at noon, a young man came to ......"
