1998, summer.

Jintan Village finally bid farewell to the days of water shortage. With the continuous supply of water at Yangshui Station, the crops in the fields no longer have to worry about drought.

Many people in the village found that the land at Zhao Shucheng's home was not planted with wheat or corn, but they didn't say much, and they all wanted to see what Zhao Shucheng made.

Chen Jinshan also knew that the road to planting Chinese medicinal materials in Zhao Shucheng was feasible, but it took too long. Minning Village did not have so much time for Zhao Shucheng to try and make mistakes, and it was impossible for the whole village to wait for Zhao Shucheng to produce results before doing it.

He thought of Ling Yinong, a mushroom grass expert he met on the train. The growth cycle of mushroom grass is very short and can basically produce results in a few months. If villagers start to raise mushrooms now, they may have a good harvest this year.

Ling Yinong planted grass in the desert in Ningxia during this period in order to find a culture medium that can help the growth of mushroom grass in Ningxia. Unexpectedly, the grass that was finally made actually had the effect of preventing wind and sand. This discovery surprised him and felt that this was an unexpected surprise.

Chen Jinshan happened to come to find Ling Yinong, hoping that he would go to Jintan Village to help villagers build a courtyard economy.

"Oh, Professor Ling, long time no see, long time no see, you are all tanned!"

Professor Ling looked at the person who shook hands with him. After a while, he recognized that it was Chen Jinshan who came to Ningxia on the train, and said excitedly: "Oh, it's you, I almost couldn't recognize him."

“I’m tanned too.”

"I always wanted to thank you, but fortunately you helped me save the seeds of mushroom grass. Look, this experimental field is all your credit."

When Chen Jinshan saw Ling Yinong's achievements, he felt that he was really right.

"I have always wanted to thank you for handing over my bag to the flight attendant, otherwise I would have compensated my wife and soldier. Come on, this is the rock tea from Hu Jian's hometown that I brought. If you have time, you can drink it and think about your hometown."

"You are so polite. By the way, haven't you gone to work in Haiji?"

Chen Jinshan was not embarrassed to tell his official position, but his secretary was very sensible and said directly: "Professor Ling, this is the deputy county magistrate of Chen Jinshan who was appointed by Hu Jianlai Haiji."

Ling Yinong thought to himself when he heard the name, and after a while, he said, "Chen Jinshan, deputy county magistrate, Director Wu, who specializes in poverty alleviation, told me you. This is my assistant Huang Jinqi."

"This is my new plant recently. It is drought-resistant, wind-resistant, and has deep root system. Look at this loess dunes, as long as it plants it, it will be fixed in an instant."

Chen Jinshan admired Ling Yinong very much and said, "The teacher is amazing. The green waters and green mountains are going to take the teacher to get it done."

The two of them talked and laughed, and then they began to get to the point. Chen Jinshan wanted to invite Ling Yinong to go to Minning Village to help the poor, mainly by planting mushrooms to get rich.

Ling Yinong thought about it when he heard Chen Jinshan's words and said, "It's not the time yet."

Chen Jinshan asked nervously: "How long will it take to wait?"

"I have reported this to Director Wu. This mushroom grass has just been planted successfully and I am not sure whether it can be grown. It still needs to be successfully applied in a small range before it can be promoted to the public. This is the basic way of our practical and scientific work."

As he was talking, Huang Jinqi walked out with a plate of watermelon and placed it on the table.

Ling Yinong said proudly: "Try it, this watermelon cannot be grown in the sand without mushroom grass."

Chen Jinshan quickly picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good, and it was sweeter than the watermelon he had eaten before.

"Oh, this is so sweet."

"I promised Director Wu to grow mushrooms, but it is not that I am sure I can really grow mushrooms. It will take about a year."

Chen Jinshan couldn't wait for so long and pretended to be careless and said, "Oh, this melon is so sweet."

Ling Yinong understood what he meant, looked directly at him and continued, "I planted grass and fixed sand, and used grass to raise mushrooms and grabbed them with both hands. After I knew that mushroom grass could be cultivated in Ningxia, I would use experiments to determine the nature of mushrooms in the desert area, and then recruit a group of technicians to expand the breeding scope, and then..."

Chen Jinshan interrupted Ling Yinong and said, "Yes, yes, Director Wu told me, but we don't need to follow the steps like this, right?"

Ling Yinong and Huang Jinqi looked at Chen Jinshan, not knowing what he meant.

Chen Jinshan explained: "You are a master of mushroom cultivation. Everyone in Hu Jian knows that you used mushroom grass instead of wood to grow mushrooms. At that time, this scientific research was very popular, and newspapers and TV broadcasts every day."

Ling Yinong said indifferently: "What's the matter? It's not that the demand for mushrooms from wood was too high at that time. Many people were harmed by money and caused the Hujian ecology to be damaged because of money. I really couldn't stand it. To resolve the severe conflict in fungi forests, we can only study and promote mushroom grass instead of wood."

Chen Jinshan said excitedly: "So teacher, you are a great person. Not only did you resolve the conflicts in the fungus forest, but you also led everyone out of poverty and become rich. So the media called your fungus grass a divine grass, and you are the father of the fungus grass."

"Look, put a tall hat on me again!"

"No, this is all true!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Do you think mushroom grass can only be grown? Ask the yellow pennant, what are we used to grow mushroom grass? Let me tell him what to laugh about."

Huang Jinqi looked at Ling Yinong and Chen Jinshan, and then talked about his research results with Professor Ling.

Although Chen Jinshan understood the value of Ling Yinong's research, he wanted to solve the problem of villagers getting rich. Besides, as long as Ling Yinong arrives in Minning Village, he will guide villagers to raise mushrooms at that time, and research on mushroom grass cultivation can be carried out.

After hearing Chen Jinshan's explanation, Ling Yinong could understand it, but he did not plan to follow him.

"I am very moved by your way to make the villagers rich, but I must not do anything that goes against the laws of research."

Chen Jinshan was a little helpless and suddenly thought of Yang He who was doing research in Jintan Village. He thought that they were doing research while asking the villagers to raise them again. He felt that this might impress Ling Yinong.

"Teacher, I would be wronged by me if you think about it this way. I thought you could experiment and let the villagers learn it again, so that it would be faster to promote it in the future. There was such a successful example in Jintan Village before. Their village was also poor before, so they went to the Agricultural Science Institute to find Yang He, who was an earthworm breeding project, and invited him to do earthworm breeding experiments in the village, and it was a great success."

"And teacher, I think you also have room for communication with each other. For example, the wheat straw and corn stalks needed to grow mushrooms are actually a kind of nutrient for raising earthworms. And as far as I know, earthworm manure is a good fertilizer, and maybe it can be used for raising mushroom grass?"

"I also know that it is not in line with the rules for too fast. We have studied many projects, such as planting medicinal materials, planting grapes, and planting fruits, but they have been too long, so I thought about growing mushrooms. Because it is fast and the production cycle is short, it is necessary for authoritative people like you to come out to help."

Ling Yinong heard this idea and found it very interesting. Besides, he also wanted to do things early for poverty alleviation, so he agreed to go and have a look, but he did not directly say that he would take the village name to grow mushrooms.

Ten days later, Zhao Shucheng was not at home, but instead worked on his factory in the county town. Now he is looking for a construction team to build a cold storage around Minning Village. Of course, construction is just starting now, and it will take some time to actually put it into operation.

Shuihua was reading a book at home and was notified that Ma Defu and Chen Jinshan asked the villagers to attend a meeting and informed the breeding of Agaricus bisporus.

People in the village have never eaten any other mushrooms except fungus in their lives, so they are curious about what the use of Agaricus bisporus is.

Li Dayou even asked directly: "What are you doing when growing this thing? Are you feeding animals?"

Ma Defu quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Dayou, look at what you said, why are you feeding animals? This is planted for people to eat."

"Defu, aren't you talking nonsense? The food that this thing grows does not look like grain, and grass does not look like grass. Can it be eaten?" Wushou said.

"Uncle Wusan, you don't know that this thing contains a certain amount of oxalic acid. People will not gain weight after eating it. It is nutritious and everyone in the city will eat it."

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Can this be nutritious after eating something that won't gain weight?"

"That's right, who's eating this thing?"

After hearing this, Shuihua said, "The mushrooms are delicious. I bought mushrooms from Yongfu, the chicken stewed mushrooms tasted very beautiful, and they tasted similar to our large plate of chicken."

"What, you have really eaten it, isn't it delicious?"

"It tastes delicious, it tastes really good." Shuihua thought of the first time she ate mushrooms, and saliva almost flowed out.

Although others heard the water splash say that mushrooms are delicious, they still don’t think that farming mushrooms can develop any development. They still feel that the food grown in their fields is the safest, and nothing else is as important as food.

"One place of water and soil support the other people. If this thing can make money, we would have known this long ago."

When Ma Defu heard everyone's discussion, he thought of the profit issues of mushrooms mentioned by Chen Jinshan and Ling Yinong at that time, and there was a way to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone, calm down. If this mushroom is grown well, it will earn more than working in Hu Jian."

When they heard this, the people below immediately discussed it even more lively, thinking that if this is the case, why no one would plant it?

"Shuihua, will your family grow it? If you plant it, the Russians will plant it. If you don't plant it, it will probably be unreliable, and we won't have any trouble at that time."

Shuihua didn't expect that this matter would eventually be involved in her family, and she couldn't make up for a moment. She didn't know whether this matter was really reliable, nor did she know whether it could make a fortune by growing mushrooms. If she said she wouldn't plant, and if she finally found out that growing mushrooms was a good thing, the villagers would definitely blame herself. If she said that planting, if it was not reliable, she would have cheated everyone and she would still be blamed.

"I can't make up my mind about this matter. I need to ask Yongfu. Well, go back and ask."

"Yes, Yongfu is a capable person here. Let's see what he says."
