For the next period of time, Wu Fei stayed on the mountain. New vegetables were planted every day, and he could plant an area of ​​one or two acres in a day.

While Wu Fei is busy growing vegetables at home, his brother-in-law and sister Wu Li are still busy traveling to the county town. The restaurant is now trying to decide on the menu, what kind of dishes the store will focus on, how much they cost, and the ingredients of the dishes.

Source, these all need to be planned before the hotel opens.

All the staff in the hotel can be in place at any time. As long as all the preparations are done, it can be opened for business at any time.

Wu Fei didn't understand the management of the hotel, and he didn't have the energy to take care of the hotel's affairs. From now on, Wu Fei planned to leave the hotel's accounting to his sister Wu Li, while he waited for the rent collection and dividends.

However, my father paid great attention to the day when the restaurant opened. He went to the town to find a master to watch it and spent four hundred yuan in red envelopes.

The final opening day of the hotel is scheduled to be the ninth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, which is Wednesday, December 4th of the Gregorian calendar.

In fact, Wu Fei doesn't think much of this, but if his father believes in this, Wu Fei won't object. Anyway, as long as his old man is happy.

There are still more than ten days before the official opening, but the restaurant is already in operation, and new dishes are made every day.

The restaurant is positioned as a farm restaurant. In addition to various vegetables, the main ingredients are various flavored dried vegetables. The other main ingredients are fish from Wufei Reservoir and local chickens bought from various households in the village.

, as well as all kinds of wild game and dried vegetables that Wu Fei Tuo Er collected.

Zhang Yibin used Wu Fei's pickup truck to pull two trucks of dried bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, and various kinds of pickled vegetables.

Ermeng also helped to receive six or seven kilograms of dried fir tree mushrooms, which cost about three hundred yuan per kilogram. Originally, the family did not want to sell them all, but Ermeng increased the price from two hundred and thirty yuan per kilogram to

For two hundred and fifty yuan a pound, they all sold to Ermeng.

During the time when Wu Fei just came back, it happened to be the time when fir tree mushrooms were growing on the mountain. At that time, Wu Bang picked several meals of fir tree mushrooms on the mountain and came back.

However, there was less rain this year, so the fir tree mushrooms did not grow much. Naturally, there were not many fir tree mushrooms picked each time. I don’t know how that family managed to dry out so many dried fir tree mushrooms.

In fact, every time when the fir tree mushrooms are growing, there are always people coming to the village to collect the fir tree mushrooms.

Depending on the quality of the fir tree mushrooms, the price of a pound of fir tree mushrooms ranges from 40 yuan to 60 yuan per kilogram. At that time, people came to the village almost every day to harvest the fir tree mushrooms, shouting on the loudspeaker.

I don’t know why that person didn’t sell it at first. You know, even the worst fir tree mushroom can be sold for more than 40 yuan per pound.

To dry the fir tree mushrooms, it takes seven to eight kilograms of fresh fir tree mushrooms to produce one kilogram. In this way, the part containing soil and humus under the fir tree mushrooms must be cut off.

When selling fresh fir tree mushrooms, in order to ensure the integrity of the fir tree mushrooms, the roots and decay below are generally not removed. The soil attached to the mushrooms still costs 40 to 60 yuan.

I don’t know what he was thinking at the time, but he would dry the fir tree mushrooms and sell them. Wu Fei looked at the dried fir tree mushrooms. They were very uniform in size. When they were dried, they should be in good quality.

That kind of.

The fir tree mushroom also has many names, such as: Lactobacillus pine, Agaricus angustifolia, Double Ninth Mushroom, etc. Every summer and autumn, this delicious delicacy will appear in the mountains with pine trees.

Fir tree mushrooms generally only grow in the middle of mountain forests in subtropical areas, and can only be seen near fir trees.

The fir tree, whose scientific name should be Masson pine, is a type of pine tree. In the early years when the county mobilized everyone to return farmland to forests, fir tree saplings accounted for the majority of the saplings distributed free of charge.

After those fir trees grew up, there were more fir tree mushrooms in the mountains.

In summer, this yellow-brown mushroom will only grow when there is more rain.

In autumn, the color of fir tree mushrooms changes to reddish brown. When the temperature is low in autumn, if there is continuous rainy weather, fir tree mushrooms will spring up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain.

This time is usually around the Double Ninth Festival, so the fir tree mushroom is also called the Double Ninth Festival fungus.

In fact, there is an old saying among Wu Fei and his friends, which is about fir tree mushrooms. Now Wu Fei still remembers what adults said when he was young, there are three, six or nine, fir tree mushrooms.

It means that in March, June and September of the lunar calendar every year, fir tree mushrooms will grow.

It’s just that this year, because there was too little rain, the fir tree mushrooms grew very little, especially around the Double Ninth Festival, when the fir tree mushrooms should have grown the most. Because it didn’t rain for a long time, not a single fir tree mushroom grew on the mountain.

come out.

Because the fir tree mushroom tastes very good and the price has always been very high, it is not that no one has thought about growing the fir tree mushroom artificially. However, after asking around, I found that there is no record of artificial cultivation of the fir tree mushroom.

Wu Bang also had this idea, and later consulted the agricultural technicians in the county.

Then it was discovered that artificial cultivation of fir tree mushrooms was not possible under current technical conditions.

Because the growth conditions of this kind of mushroom are relatively strict, many comprehensive factors need to be met at the same time to form the conditions for growth.

And fir tree mushrooms generally only grow in dense masson pine forests or other types of pine forests.

It relies on a fungus produced after fermentation of Masson pine leaves, combined with sandy soil, sufficient rain and suitable temperature to grow. It usually only takes a few days from growth to withering. Once it is not picked, it will grow quickly.

The maggots then wilt away and rot.

Another reason why artificial cultivation has not been realized is that this kind of fungus is difficult to keep fresh. Generally, it can only be kept fresh for 3 days at most, and this is done with ice packs to keep it warm, which makes transportation very difficult.

Therefore, this kind of mushroom rarely appears in shopping malls and vegetable markets in big cities. Generally, only people close to the picking places have the opportunity to eat this kind of wild mushroom.

It is generally difficult for people in big cities to have the opportunity to buy it. At room temperature, the shelf life is basically just over a day.

Those who come to the village to collect fir tree mushrooms always collect freshly harvested mushrooms. When they get home, they immediately put them in a cold storage so that they can be stored for a longer period of time.

However, because it is wild and the yield is affected by various factors, although it tastes good, the market has always been small.

There is only a short period of time every year when you can eat fir tree mushrooms, and other times it is difficult to see them.

Like this time, I received six or seven kilograms of dried fir tree mushrooms at once. This was the first time Wu Fei had seen it in his entire life.

In the past, because Wu Fei was often outside, when there were a lot of fir tree mushrooms collected at home, he would dry some and keep them for later use when Wu Fei came back.
