Niu male

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month came, Hunqunfeng Wang Dasheng and the others went to Niuwangzhuang again, together with several nephews of their family and several other wealthy households from Buffalo Town, a group of them came together.

"What are you doing? This group is going up the mountain to fight tigers," Lao Zhou was leading Houwazi to inspect his vegetable field, and when he saw this group of people coming up from the foot of the mountain from a distance, he shouted at them with a smile.

The father and son each hold a pair of walnuts, Lao Zhou with his right hand, and Hou Wazi with his right hand, standing on the hill hand in hand, which is also a scene of Niuwangzhuang.Hua Hua is still sleeping in the arms of the cat Luo Meng. This guy originally wanted to go to the monkey's arms, but was dragged by Romon. He was worried that the lynx was too heavy, and his monkey fell on his back. up.

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings." Wang Dasheng replied in a loud voice. This guy just drank a little wine at Hu Qunfeng's house. He was in an inexplicably happy mood at the moment, and his voice was really loud.

"You're a monkey." Old Zhou scolded with a smile, knowing that he was talking about himself.

"I didn't say that, Lao Zhou, the reservoir at the foot of our mountain has been built, when do you plan to release the water here?" When they got closer, Hun Qunfeng asked Luo Meng.

"Is that dam below us dry?" Romon asked.The reinforced concrete dams are not like the two stone dams on their side, which can basically release water after repairs, while the concrete structures need to be aired for a few days after repairs are completed.

"It's already dry, so let's store water earlier. Don't wait until half a year after the dam is repaired, the reservoir will still be dry. It hasn't rained much this winter. I don't know what will happen next spring. Maybe it will be more Drought." Wang Dasheng is also very concerned about the rainfall issue now, this year has been dry, and the honey production in his village has been affected.

"Before that time, who knows?" If it never rains, even if there are wells and reservoirs in Niuwangzhuang, it will be very troublesome to irrigate.

"I heard that you have built a lot of mushroom sheds in Shangshui Village. We have nothing to do today and plan to visit. Can you show me?" Hu Qunfeng asked.

"You have to see, just go to Shangshui Village and look for Chen Gang." Luo Meng was going up the mountain with Xiao Shulin to feed the monkeys for a while, but now he doesn't want to move much.

"Are you still busy this afternoon?" Hu Qunfeng asked.

"There's something wrong at home." Naturally, Romon couldn't tell them that he was going up the mountain to feed the monkeys.

There are a lot of people in the courtyard who know about the fact that there is a group of monkeys living in Niujigou. For example, Guanshi Chen and the others know about it. After all, how many things Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin make to feed the monkeys every day have to go through them. , It is definitely impossible to hide the truth.

In addition, Romon brought back a flock of sheep some time ago, and after they rushed to the mountain, he did not see him arrange for people to herd the sheep. Na Maocheng asked Romon once before, and Romon also told the truth, telling him not to follow the sheep. Others say that if you save time and recruit new people, your life will not be clean.

Now there are quite a few people in Niuwangzhuang who know about this, but they don’t talk about it, and others rarely think about it. Even if the old people in the yard guess a little, they don’t talk much. In their view, safeguarding Lao Zhou's interests is safeguarding their own interests.

"What's the matter? Let's go, let's go to Shangshui Village to have a look." Wang Dasheng couldn't help but take Luo Meng down the mountain. When Luo Meng and the others were selling vegetables in the town, they separated from Wang Dasheng. The closer they are, the more days they will get to know each other.

"It's really something." If he had that time, it would be great to go up the mountain with Xiao Shulin. What kind of Shangshui village would he go with these elders?Chen Gang from Shangshui Village had already sent him the news two days ago that the first batch of mushrooms had gone smoothly.

Small mushrooms grew out of the fungus bags that Houwazi took care of at home, and what Romon brought back for him this time was a Coprinus comatus, a crab-flavored mushroom, and a straw mushroom.

Seeing small mushrooms emerging from the mouth of the plastic bag, even the old man Luo and Liu Chunlan thought it was fresh. Before they grew mushrooms locally, they always built grass sheds. The grass sheds were wet, warm and opaque. The mushroom picking was done inside, and it was the first time they had seen this method of growing mushrooms with semi-cooked materials.

"Let's go, what can happen, it won't be long, Chen Gang's face is stinky, if you don't follow, it's hard to say whether we can enter the mushroom shed."

Several people insisted that Luo Meng go to Shangshui Village with them. Luo Meng had no choice but to call Xiao Shulin and ask him to go up the mountain alone later. Xiao Shulin responded lightly and hung up. The phone call made Lao Zhou feel quite uneasy, isn't he unhappy?

The [-]th day of the first lunar month has not yet arrived, and many people are still immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating the new year. Hu Qunfeng, Wang Dasheng and others are in groups all day long. One family eats and another house drinks, and the relationship between relatives Dropping in and out as guests, giving something to the elderly and wrapping a few red envelopes for the children, going out in groups to have fun if you have nothing to do.

At noon that day, a group of them drank a little wine, and began to think about what to do in the afternoon. Someone suggested that there were many mushroom sheds in Shangshui Village, why don't you go and have a look?So the group set off, and when they passed by Niuwangzhuang, they didn't forget to call out Luo Meng.

Wang Gang was busy at the moment, and took a few workers to spray water on the mushroom bags that had just grown small mushrooms. Seeing that this group of guys who had obviously drunk were going to visit the mushroom shed, they really didn't give them a good face.

"Look, luckily I called you up." Wang Dasheng rubbed his nose and whispered next to Luo Meng.

"Okay, they're busy here, I'll take you to the straw mushroom shed next to it." Luo Meng didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Gang's attitude, he did his best to manage the mushroom shed during this time, Besides, Chen Gang is now mainly responsible for internal management rather than external sales.

"Does the mushrooms grow faster here?" After entering the straw mushroom shed, Hu Qunfeng and the others looked around to see that they were very fresh. As for Chen Gang's unwelcome attitude just now, they had long been thrown out of the sky. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. This group of people all have one characteristic in common, that is thick skinned.

"Different varieties of mushrooms have different growth cycles." Luo Meng led the monkey boy and looked around the mushroom shed. According to the growth trend, it must be ready to be picked on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Isn't it almost edible when it grows so big?" Wang Dasheng leaned in front of a bunch of mushrooms, sniffed and sniffed: "The taste is not bad, fried meat must be delicious."

"Hey, why don't we just buy some." The juniors behind him also booed.

"It's still tender." Romon said.

"It's delicious when it's tender. Let's buy more and fry it in a big plate."

"It's not on sale yet." Lao Zhou felt helpless, he shouldn't have come to Shangshui Village with these drunks just now.

"It's not on sale? Why don't you open it for him right now? The price doesn't matter. You can take as much as you want."

"It's not a matter of money." This is the first batch of mushrooms, and they were picked if they didn't grow. What's the matter? The woods and the elders in the family tried something new, picked it and sold it for money. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then what's the problem? You don't grow mushrooms to sell them for money?"

"Then why don't I ask Chen Gang? He still has the final say on the affairs of the mushroom shed." When it came to Chen Gang, he probably felt uncomfortable.

"How about this." Hu Qunfeng stopped Luo Meng quickly, not to mention, he was really a little afraid of Chen Gang's black face. This girl has been planting mushrooms for many days, and raises these mushrooms like a baby. , Now I want to say that there is no growth and I will pick it for him, and I am not willing to specify, so Hu Qunfeng thought of a trick: "You just say that the children in our family look fresh and want to buy some fungus bags for themselves Planting and playing."

"Want to buy a fungus bag?" Romon asked.

"Yeah, how much do you want to sell this mushroom bag for?"

"Mushroom bag?" Luo Meng thought for a while. The total cost of the material and labor of this mushroom bag is only a few yuan, but now the mushrooms have started to grow. Waiting for a few batches of mushrooms to come out, at least they can make money. Thirty yuan, their mushrooms are not too cheap.

"We are also old friends, let's sell one for twenty." Romon finally said.

"Success." Hu Qunfeng didn't think it was too expensive, and while taking out his money clip, he called two young people to go outside to find a basket.

Don’t look at the fact that 20 yuan for a bag of mushrooms doesn’t seem too expensive. If you want to fry a plate of mushrooms, you need several bags of mushrooms to make up enough. If you come down from a few mushroom sheds, you can choose whatever you want. There are fifty, that is a total of 1000 yuan, Lao Zhou waved his hand, and gave them both as a gift.

After buying mushrooms, these people couldn’t wait to go back and fry them for a taste. A group of people got into the car, and each sent a young man who hadn’t drunk to drive. They drove down to Shangshui Village, and Luo Meng took their car to Niuwang. At the Zhuang intersection, I walked back to my hut with Houwazi.

"Where have you been?" Liu Chunlan was making biscuits with Old Man Luo, and when she saw Luo Meng came back, she asked him.

"Hu Qunfeng and the others said they were going to Shangshui Village, so they insisted on calling me along."

"Shushu went up the mountain alone and picked up a lot of things. You kid, if it's not something important, don't always ask him to go up the mountain alone." Liu Chunlan muttered.

"He picked it? Where's Erlang?"

"Erlang is plowing the field today."

"I'll pick a few stronger calves another day, and I won't call them up the mountain, but stay on the farm to handle them."

"That's how it should be."

Luo Meng was thinking about Xiao Shulin's going up the mountain alone, and felt that the afternoon passed very slowly. He would go to the door from time to time to have a look, but he never saw Xiao Shulin going down the mountain.

After finally waiting, they found that there was not one person but two people. Lin Kuo was walking in front, Xiao Shulin was walking behind. A pole, with two baskets stacked on top of each other at the back, and one arm in the front was pressed casually, talking to Lin Kuo while walking, in a relaxed and natural way.

"Going down the mountain?" Luo Meng and Lin Kuo greeted each other.

"Ah." Lin Kuo nodded with a smile.

"How are the herbs on our mountain now?"

"It's okay. The coldest time is almost over. I checked and found that not many people died of freezing. The medicinal properties of the herbs that have passed the winter are better than before."

"That's right, you've been on the mountain for a day, so go back and take a hot bath and have dinner."

"Row."

Lin Kuo left, and Luo Meng hurried over to take the shoulder pole from Xiao Shulin's shoulder.

"Monkeys and sheep are fine."

"Ah."

"Why did you come down with Lin Kuo?"

"I ran into it on the road."

"Then what..."

"What?"

"Nothing..."

It's really nothing, but why is it so unhappy in my heart?Old Zhou sniffled, put the baskets and poles against the wall, and followed Xiao Shulin into the house.

The next day, Hu Qunfeng and the others came again and said that the mushrooms in their house were delicious. Although they bought a lot of mushroom bags yesterday, they couldn’t stand the crowd. Niuwangzhuang came to find Lao Zhou, and insisted that he take them to buy another batch, but this time Lao Zhou refused to go with them, insisting that he had something to do at home.

In the next few days, Lao Zhou didn't go anywhere, just guarding Xiao Shulin's house. Hu Qunfeng and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Shangshui Village to find Chen Gang, and bought two more batches of mushroom packs from him.

These mushrooms from Lao Zhou’s house are really delicious, tender and fragrant, no matter whether it’s fried meat, fried vegetables or boiled in soup, that’s nothing to say, no one who has eaten it is not addicted, but it’s a bit too expensive, several mushroom bags The small mushrooms cut from the top are enough to fry a plate. Although it is said that they will grow back in the future, but they are greedy, how can they wait until then?

Hu Qunfeng and others are big trees and deep roots in Buffalo Town. The mushroom bags he bought are not all raised by himself after cutting the stubble mushrooms. As time went on, there were more and more people growing mushrooms in Buffalo Town, and then the relatives and friends of these people grew fresh again, so the old Zhou’s mushrooms were already very well-known before they started selling. up.

"Luo Meng, my grandson said that he wants your mushroom bag, can you sell me two?" On this day, an old man who has been working in Niuwangzhuang all year round asked Lao Zhou.

"Why can't you? I'll call the big guy later and tell him to bring two fungus packs." To the old people in the yard, Lao Zhou was easy to talk to. Two fungus packs were nothing more than that.

"Hey, then bring me two by the way. The ancestor of our family had a fight with me yesterday. Hey, I'm too embarrassed to tell you about it. It's so troublesome."

"If there's any trouble, just take two more."

"I want it too, I want it too, help me bring two too."

"..."

After going back and forth, Lao Zhou sold a whole tricycle bag of mushrooms this afternoon. This is not over yet. The next day, many people asked Luo Hongfeng to tell Luo Meng about the fungus bags on Niuwangzhuang. Now that the sale has already started, why not just let go of the sale, they also want to buy.

People have sent money to the door, how can Lao Zhou push it out?In this way, before the mushrooms in Shangshui Village were picked, a large area of ​​the mushroom shed was emptied.

Almost every household in Buffalo Town has to put a few mushroom bags at home. It’s a good deal. If you really have to wait for the supermarket to sell mushrooms, the price will definitely not be cheap. Not everyone in their town can afford it.

A fungus bag is only 20 yuan, and it can be played and eaten, not to mention children, many adults also find it fresh.Everyone has also carefully identified the materials in the mushroom bag. The things inside are very fertile. After four or five crops of mushrooms have been produced, they can be used as fertilizer in flower pots in their own vegetable fields. waste.
