Compared with the main matsutake mushroom producing areas in the south, the harvest season can be as long as four or five months. On the other hand, in the Tohoku region, matsutake mushrooms are also produced, but the harvest season is short. Because of this, there are not too many matsutake mushrooms that can be harvested each year in the northeast.

After being financially free in his previous life, Mu Shanhe also had a certain understanding of matsutake mushrooms in the Northeast because of his preference for food. Compared with today, many people don't know that matsutake mushroom is a precious mountain mushroom, and more regard it as an ordinary wild mountain mushroom.

Until the price of matsutake mushrooms skyrocketed in later generations, and even could be exported overseas, several places in the northeast that produce matsutake mushrooms also set up special matsutake reserves. Before the harvest season, people in the vicinity are forbidden to go into the mountains to dig matsutake mushrooms.

At this time, matsutake mushrooms grow in the mountains, and many people in the vicinity do not like to pick them. In the words of these people, it is matsutake mushrooms, which are not as delicious as other mountain mushrooms.

After breakfast in the early morning, Mu Shanhe and his entourage, under the leadership of Zheng Tie's father, entered the vast mountains behind the village. Originally, Xu Siwen planned to come and see the excitement, but he was driven by Mu Shanhe to rent a factory and build a mushroom drying plant as soon as possible.

In that case, the matsutake mushrooms purchased later can be sent to the factory for drying as soon as possible. In the case that the export channel has not yet been established, the original aroma and taste of matsutake can only be retained by drying.

Not long after entering the jungle, Mushanhe soon found matsutake mushrooms hidden by pine needles. Picking up the pine needles on it, Mu Shanhe said with a smile: "Good luck!" Not long after entering the mountain, I came across a matsutake mushroom that had just emerged, which was a good omen! ”

"Mu Shao, are all the special matsutake mushrooms buried in the soil?"

"Before the matsutake mushroom was opened, the dried mushrooms were basically buried in the soil. Once it drills out of the soil, then it opens the umbrella. The nutrients and taste will naturally be greatly reduced. All in all, it's not easy to dig up a premium matsutake mushroom. ”

After listening to Mu Shanhe's narration, Father Zheng also nodded and said: "Boss Mu is right, this kind of big flower fungus that does not emerge is really difficult to find. However, with a little more thought, you should still be able to find it in this forest. ”

Under the guidance of Zheng's father, the people who followed into the mountain also found the matsutake mushrooms that had just emerged or opened the umbrella. Seeing that everyone was digging indiscriminately, Mu Shanhe also hurriedly admonished them to learn to dig with themselves.

"Where matsutake mushrooms grow, a kind of hyphe grows underneath. When digging, be sure not to pick up the soil and destroy the mycelium. Uncle Zheng, when this big flower fungus can make money in the future, you must explain to the village chief and the villagers, and you must be careful when digging.

Although this matsutake mushroom can be harvested for about a month every year. But I dare to say that as long as you protect this forest, in the future, the people in your village will be able to rely on these big flowers and mushrooms to increase their income by at least 100 yuan a year. ”

As soon as these words came out, Father Zheng said with a solemn expression: "Boss Mu, is this thing really so valuable?" ”

"Hmmm! This year, due to time constraints, we can't directly collect fresh mushrooms, so we can only bake them into dried goods and sell them. If this kind of fungus is sold in China, it will sell for five or six yuan a catty, and no one will buy it.

But many rich people abroad are very good and willing to pay a high price. Although I don't know, what the price looks like abroad. But in the future, this macroflower mushroom will definitely become more and more valuable.

If you don't know how to cherish and protect, and dig up this kind of big-flowered fungus that has strict requirements for growing conditions, then you won't be able to make this kind of money in the future. When this matter is finalized, you had better explain it carefully to the village chief. ”

"That's, then! The water flows forever! Boss Mu, teach me, how should this big flower fungus be dug up? ”

Although Zheng's father had not read any books, he also knew that this was a good thing for the benefit of his neighbors. If this big flower fungus can really be sold for money, then the Zheng family is in the tunzi, and I believe that the prestige will also increase, and the fame will naturally increase.

After passing through the Makiyama River, he personally instructed him on how to dig the matsutake mushroom and protect the mycelium underneath from destruction. Everyone saw the matsutake mushrooms hidden under the pine needles, and they were all very careful in digging them.

Even if this is a renewable resource, the consequence of indiscriminate excavation may be that in the future, matsutake mushrooms will no longer be seen in this forest. In fact, not only matsutake mushrooms, but also truffles were dug up in the primeval jungle opposite Mushan River.

As another mountain delicacy, truffles are also very expensive overseas. In fact, there are truffles in the Northeast, but they are very scarce. Compared with the production environment of matsutake mushrooms, truffles have more stringent requirements for the growing environment.

It's just that compared with the price of foreign truffles in later generations, domestic truffles have never been able to sell at a matching value. The reason for this, in addition to the elements of capital suppression and manipulation, may be related to the fact that truffles are called 'pig arch fungus' in China.

For those high-class people abroad who are complacent and even flaunt it by eating truffles, if they know that they enjoy the same treatment as domestic pigs, how can they feel comfortable?

After a small half-day field visit, Mushanhe probably knew that there are many forest areas in Ninggu that produce macroflowers, that is, matsutake mushrooms. In other words, the yield and quality of matsutake mushrooms today will definitely be more and better than in later generations.

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Mu Shanhe also saw Xu Siwen who had returned from dealing with things. After some discussion between the two, the purchase price of matsutake mushrooms this year was finally determined. That is, the special grade is two yuan a catty, the first level is one yuan and one catty, and the second level is five cents a catty.

It sounds like it's extremely cheap, but when Father Zheng heard it, he was stunned and said, "Boss Mu, Boss Xu, that kind of big flower fungus that doesn't open an umbrella, do you really collect two yuan a catty?" ”

"Hmmm! This year's big-flowered mushrooms, we can only give this price. When the sales channel is opened, we will determine the sales price, and then determine the corresponding price next year. If you can, bring your village chief and discuss it together! ”

"Done, done! Then you wait, I'll call the village chief now! ”

Taking advantage of the time when Zheng's father left, Mu Shanhe continued to discuss with Xu Siwen the operation process of the mountain fungus company. For this business, because Xu Siwen's grandfather is very supportive, Xu Siwen naturally has to work harder.

In the words of Mr. Xu, this is a good thing that benefits people's livelihood, and it may even earn foreign exchange, so it must be strongly supported!

In order to ensure the quality of matsutake mushrooms, after Zheng's father invited the village chief, Mu Shanhe also told the village chief in detail the details that need to be paid attention to when harvesting macroflora. That is, you go into the mountains early in the morning and have to come back before lunch.

In the afternoon, they went to each village to buy, and the villagers needed to sort the harvested macroflora. If fraud is discovered, then the staff in charge of the purchase will naturally be punished accordingly, and even no longer buy the village's matsutake mushrooms.

If such a thing really happens, the villagers who make small moves will probably be hated to death by the whole village. In Zheng's father's words, if the whole family goes up the mountain together, it shouldn't be a problem to dig twenty or thirty catties a day.

After all, you can earn thirty or forty yuan a day by digging large flower fungi. With such a high return, that villager dares to mess around?

Relying on the advantage of 'the first month near the water', Zheng Tie's Tunzi was undoubtedly the first to receive the news. By the time the news spread, presumably the villagers of Zheng Tietunzi had already made a small profit in front of others.

The village chief, who knew this, convened a meeting of all the people in Tun that night, and made it clear that whoever dared to deceive or leak the news in advance, then their family would move out of Tunzi directly.

The village chief of this year, if he doesn't have some prestige and courage, he will definitely not be able to control the people in Tunli. It is precisely because of this that the people of Tunli gave a clear warning to the village chief, and no one dared to mess around. And Zheng Tie's father instantly became the target of the villagers' stammering.

Early the next morning, the village chief took the whole tun and the old and young to pour into the mountains behind the village. Under the guidance of Zheng Tie and his father, he began to dig up the big flower mushrooms in the forest, and specially selected the kind of matsutake mushrooms that could be sold at a high price.

When I went down the mountain at noon and returned to the tunzi, I saw that the purchaser who deliberately stayed in the tunli really weighed according to the grade, and even paid cash directly. Seeing the money in their hands, many villagers finally believed that this big flower fungus could really be sold for a lot of money!
