Chapter 43: Two Ways Go Together
Qin Fei also smiled and said, "Then I will hand over this land to Professor Jiang in charge, and I hope that our first cooperation can end happily." β
"I should stay in Zhaojia Village during this time, if Professor Jiang has any needs, just look for me."
Jiang Chu nodded and did not speak.
After experiencing several major provincial research projects, Jiang Chu knew very well in his heart that people like Qin Fei were more beautiful than anyone else when they spoke, but it was difficult for them to reach the sky when they really asked him for money.
"Do you have any suggested mushroom varieties for Professor Jiang to grow?" Qin Fei asked.
Jiang Chu thought for a while, looked at the students on the side and said, "You say, what kind of mushroom is suitable for planting in such a land!" β
One of the students pondered for a long time and then said: "Combined with the soil quality, the season, and the market demand, if you want to make a lot of money, the most suitable mushroom variety to grow should be shiitake mushrooms." β
The student who spoke was named Li Mingjia, who had just turned 20 years old this year, and his family background was not bad, so he was relatively lonely, and he was now in his third year at Agricultural University, and he was a proud protΓ©gΓ© under Jiang Chu.
After Li Mingjia finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Chu, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he was eager to know if what he said was right.
Jiang Chu nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, if you want to make a lot of money, the most suitable mushroom to grow now is shiitake mushrooms." β
Qin Fei shook his head, not to deny Jiang Chu's words, but that he was in urgent need of funds to convert now. As far as he knows, the growth cycle of shiitake mushrooms is generally about three to four months, and the investment during this period is huge, and he does not have so much time and money to spend on shiitake mushrooms now.
What Qin Fei needs is a fungus variety with small investment and fast return, even if he earns less.
Qin Fei told Jiang Chu his thoughts, and Jiang Chu once again threw this question to Li Ming's family.
Li Mingjia pondered for a moment and then told Jiang Chu his thoughts: "The mushroom with the shortest growth cycle should be the straw mushroom, which usually only takes fifteen to twenty days to reach maturity. However, the market demand is small and the price is low. β
Jiang Chu nodded with satisfaction and turned his head to look at Qin Fei.
"Yes, let's just plant straw mushrooms, and then plant other strains later." Qin Fei said.
"If you want to do this business for the long term, I advise you to start planning to build greenhouses now."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you too, just tell me if you need anything."
"I want money, equipment, and people, and people better be smarter and the best who can drive." As soon as Qin Fei's words fell, Jiang Chu spoke.
Village Chief Zhao on the side was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Professor Jiang from the city to speak so straightforwardly.
"No problem, I can allocate 20,000 yuan for you first, what kind of equipment do you need, you write a list for me, and I will ask someone to buy it for you." Qin Fei also said in one go.
"It doesn't cost that much." Jiang Chu shook his head and said.
"Now the first batch is just a trial planting period, just give me 10,000."
Qin Fei didn't speak, took out 20,000 yuan from his bag and handed it to Jiang Chu.
"20,000 yuan, take it, you can keep it for yourself first, in case you need it, and if there is anything left after the construction period, return it to me, if you don't have it."
Jiang Chu frowned slightly, his expression was a little puzzled, but he still reached out and took the cash that Qin Fei handed him.
This businessman seems to be a little different from his peers?
"Village Chief Zhao, you find a few young people in the village who can drive and have clever brains to help Professor Jiang and learn mushroom cultivation techniques, and I will give them a salary of thirty yuan a day."
"Okay, okay, I'll find someone for Professor Jiang as soon as I go back to the village." Village Chief Zhao nodded and said.
When Jiang Chu's Li Mingjia heard this, his brows furrowed, but he still endured it and didn't speak.
But another student of Jiang Chu couldn't help but ask: "The random people you find in the village have a salary of 900 yuan a month, but you want us high-level talents to work for me for free?" Didn't you take it seriously for us? β
Qin Fei was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at Jiang Chu and said with a smile: "Ah, I'm sorry, I may have forgotten to let Professor Jiang tell you, I gave you two a month's salary of 2,000 yuan." β
Li Mingjia and another student were instantly stunned when they heard this, and gave them a salary of 2,000 yuan a month?
Even if they are Jiang Chu's students, they are just ordinary college students, and someone is willing to give them a salary of 2,000 yuan a month?
This is even hundreds of yuan higher than their tutor Jiang Chu's salary in the academy.
I can't even think about it!
"Is this true?" Li Mingjia asked suspiciously.
Qin Fei didn't speak, he directly took out six hundred yuan from his bag and handed it to the two of them.
"This is the deposit, and when you finish it, I will hand over the rest of the balance to you."
Li Mingjia looked back at Jiang Chu, and it wasn't until Jiang Chu nodded that he dared to take the three hundred yuan that Qin Fei handed him.
After a short discussion, Qin Fei finally decided to plant straw mushrooms, and the trial planting batch was three acres of land, and the growth cycle was about twenty days.
When Qin Fei brings the equipment tomorrow, Jiang Chu can officially start work.
When Qin Fei and the others returned to the village from the orchard, Xiao Bald and Chen Hao had already led a huge team of trucks into the village.
Qin Fei called the two of them to his side, "This is Professor Jiang Chujiang that I mentioned to you." The two of you will stop work for half a day today, rat, you take the two of you and Professor Jiang to the city to rent two batches of equipment. β
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, and shook hands with Jiang Chu.
"Little bald, you also lead two or so people to a nearby village to buy a few truckloads of corn and sorghum stalks, and try to get as many as possible, the prevention is not enough."
According to Jiang Chu, straw mushrooms need to be processed before planting, the prepared corn cob or cottonseed husk is dried, soaked in water, sprinkled with lime powder, stirred evenly, covered with transparent film after accumulation, fermented for 3 days, during which it can be turned over once, and a small amount of lime water can be added when it is too dry, and mixed again.
After the inoculation of straw mushroom species, wait for about 3 days for the mycelium to grow on the soil surface, 10 days to grow fruiting bodies, spray water on the soil surface to moisturize, pay attention not to let the water stand on the umbrella surface of the straw mushroom, wait for 15 days to carry out the first harvest, after 5 days of water stop after harvesting, resume management and wait until 5-7 days for the second harvest, cultivate a batch of raw materials can receive up to 4 batches of straw mushrooms.
Although the little bald head didn't know why, he still nodded.
After all, there were few things that Qin Fei asked him to do before, and he couldn't understand them, but the final result was that Qin Fei easily made a lot of money.
