The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

The next day, Zhou Ziwen got up early, walked around in the yard for a while as usual, and then went back to the house to wash up.

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also got up one after another. Chen Qiaoyi fed little Yueyue while Chen Shiying started to prepare breakfast.

The breakfast was simple, with steamed buns, porridge, boiled eggs, and a few side dishes.

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying came to the production team together.

Today is the day for mushroom harvesting, and he, as the team leader, must be present.

When they arrived at the production team, most of the members had already arrived and the team leader was arranging today's work.

During this period, the production team's main focus was on spring ploughing.

However, in addition to arranging tasks, the team leader also divided the newly arrived educated youth into teams, allowing them to integrate into the production teams and work hard for the construction of the countryside.

In addition, the mushrooms at the mushroom growing base also need to be harvested.

This is a happy event. When the members heard that the mushrooms were going to be harvested, they were all very excited. After all, successful mushroom cultivation means that everyone can earn some income.

After the team leader arranged the work, the members began to disperse and each went to perform their own tasks.

Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying led the members of the mushroom group towards the mushroom planting base.

Arriving at the mushroom cultivation base, Zhou Ziwen went straight to workshop 4. The mushrooms in the workshop had matured, each holding up a small umbrella, and looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Everyone, please be careful when harvesting mushrooms. Don't damage them. They are the result of our hard work."

Zhou Ziwen spoke loudly to the team members.

"Yes, team leader." The team members agreed in unison.

Then, everyone started to get busy.

Harvesting mushrooms is a technical job that requires using a special knife to gently cut along the root of the mushroom.

When the team members were harvesting, Zhou Ziwen was there to give them guidance.

"Be careful to be gentle when cutting so as not to damage the mushroom mycelium, otherwise it will affect the growth of the next season."

"Also, handle the harvested mushrooms with care and don't damage them."

Under Zhou Ziwen's guidance, the team members harvested smoothly.

However, half of the people in the mushroom group went to the production team to help with spring plowing. There were not many people here, so the harvesting speed was not fast.

According to his estimation, it would take at least one day to harvest all the mushrooms.

"Ziwen, how are you doing here? Can you handle it?"

Just as Zhou Ziwen and his team were harvesting mushrooms, Wu Dagang also came over.

"No problem, it should be almost done before the end of the afternoon."

Zhou Ziwen looked at everyone's progress and then said.

"How about I call your group back and harvest the mushrooms early."

Wu Dagang asked.

If the harvest can only be completed today, these mushrooms will not be delivered.

He wanted to finish it quickly and send the mushrooms to the commune today.

"Okay! It will definitely be faster if there are more people."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Then I'll make arrangements right away."

After saying this, Wu Dagang left the mushroom cultivation base in a hurry.

Zhou Ziwen continued to harvest mushrooms with his team members.

Wu Dagang on this side also acted quickly and brought back the other members of the Mushroom Group in a short while.

With them around, the speed of harvesting mushrooms has been significantly increased.

There is strength in numbers. The mushrooms that were originally estimated to take a day to harvest were almost harvested by the afternoon.

"Ziwen, how's the harvest going?"

Wu Dagang came to the mushroom cultivation base again and asked Zhou Ziwen.

"Almost done, we'll be able to finish harvesting in a little while."

Zhou Ziwen replied.

"That's great. I'll arrange for someone to take it to the commune."

Wu Dagang nodded with satisfaction.

After Zhou Ziwen finished harvesting the mushrooms, Wu Dagang and Uncle Yang also came with their ox carts.

Also coming with them were Zhu Youde and some members who were pushing carts and carrying baskets.

Zhu Youde came to count the weight of the mushrooms.

The mushrooms must be weighed before being loaded onto the truck.

"Ziwen, have you harvested all the mushrooms?" Zhu Youde asked as soon as he arrived.

"Almost, just a little bit left." Zhou Ziwen replied.

"That's good, I'll go weigh it first."

As Zhu Youde spoke, he picked up the weighing tool and started weighing.

Zhou Ziwen and his team members carefully moved the harvested mushrooms onto the ox cart, while Zhu Youde recorded the weight on the side.

"Ziwen, we harvested a lot of mushrooms this time. They can definitely be sold at a good price." Zhu Youde said while recording.

"Yes, the mushrooms are growing well this time and there are many of them." Zhou Ziwen also nodded with a smile.

"Now the production team can increase its income significantly." Zhu Youde said happily.

"Yes, everyone is more motivated now." Zhou Ziwen agreed.

In a short while, the mushrooms in the workshop were emptied and the ox cart was piled full of mushrooms.

If ox carts are not enough, use wooden carts. If the wooden carts are used up, use baskets.

After working for an hour or two, I finally packed all the mushrooms.

"Okay, the mushrooms are loaded into the truck. We will send them to the commune now," said Wu Dagang.

"Okay, Uncle Wu, be careful on the road." Zhou Ziwen reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this road." Wu Dagang patted his chest.

"Old Zhu, have you figured out the result? How many pounds?"

Turning around, Wu Dagang looked at Zhu Youde and asked.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon."

Zhu Youde was calculating on his abacus and talking without even raising his head.

After a while, Zhu Youde finally stopped the abacus in his hand, smiled and looked up: "I figured it out, the total is 43,500 kilograms!"

"So many!" Wu Dagang was also shocked. Although he knew that the mushroom yield this time was good, he didn't expect there would be so many.

"Yes, this is really a great harvest!" Zhou Ziwen was also very happy.

This is just from one workshop. If the mushrooms from other workshops were added together, the number would be even greater.

"That's good. Our production team will definitely have a better life this year." Zhu Youde said with a smile.

"Okay, now that the weight is out, let's set off quickly and try to deliver the mushrooms to the commune today." Wu Dagang said.

"Okay, Uncle Wu, be careful on the road." Zhou Ziwen reminded again.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Wu Dagang waved his hand, then he and Grandpa Yang drove the ox cart and set off with other members.

After watching them leave, Zhou Ziwen said to the remaining team members, "Everyone has worked hard today. Now that the mushrooms have been harvested, we will not be working in the afternoon. Everyone go home and rest."

Hearing this, the team members cheered instantly.

"Great! Long live the team leader!" some young team members shouted excitedly.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble and go home to rest." Zhou Ziwen smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes, team leader." The team members agreed in unison, then packed up and went home.

After all the team members left, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying also packed up and went home.
