Zhou Zhiqun and the others are still a little embarrassed. When people in the village help, you help my family. If my family has something to do, I will come to you. At most, you will take care of the meals. For other things, I have never mentioned money.
Nowadays, it would be a lie to not be moved by Shiqiu’s offer of money. Who doesn’t want to make money?
But Zhou Zhiqun and the others were embarrassed, so Xie Quan persuaded them, so they didn't say anything more.
With more people and greater strength, the mushroom room, which is only about 15 square meters, was completely built in half a month.
As for the shelves used to grow mushrooms inside, Xie Quan had already asked a carpenter to customize them as early as when he first wanted to build a mushroom room.
Now after a winter, everything is ready.
In mid-April, the mushroom room was finally covered and dried.
Because there is no decoration inside, there is no need to dry it much.
However, before officially planting mushrooms, the mushroom room needs to be disinfected and sterilized to prevent the mushrooms from contracting diseases and failing to grow when the mycelium is still weak.
No matter which species you raise, it is actually a complex and careful process.
Xie Quan is in charge of the technical aspect. He has a strong learning ability and many years of planting experience, so he often understands what to do in a flash of his mind.
Tan Shiqiu is mainly responsible for following up on various projects, as well as follow-up sales issues.
After procrastinating all winter, the task of the mushroom room was finally completed.
[Task fifteen has been completed, and 1440 points have been received.]
【Current points: 1440.】
[The counterattack progress increases by 5%, and the current progress is 80%.]
…
Seeing that the task was completed, and then looking at the mushroom room that they had disinfected and put on the shelves, Tan Shiqiu was about to wave his hand proudly, and said angrily: Look, Xie Quan, I gave this to you
The kingdoms conquered!
As a result, a new task popped up, directly interrupting her mood.
[Task 42: Successfully grow a batch of mushrooms (the scale must be large)]
[Completion reward: 6000.]
One winter passed. Xie Quan completed a lot of daily tasks and earned more than 40,000 points. Naturally, he also released a lot of tasks.
So, now we have more than 40 tasks.
Looking at this task, Tan Shiqiu directly rolled up his sleeves: "Do it!"
Xie Quan looked at the little girl's energetic look on the side, pursed his lips and smiled: "Yeah, do it!"
For the time being, I’ll buy the mycelium in the mall because the mushrooms that come out in the end are good.
However, the mycelium in the mall is not cheap. Xie Quan has recently begun to cultivate mycelium himself. He uses mushrooms produced by the mycelium in the mall. I guess the taste should not be much different.
In fact, straw mushrooms have the shortest growth cycle. Straw mushrooms also taste good, but straw mushrooms have higher temperature requirements and are not as smooth as oyster mushrooms.
The two of us have grown oyster mushrooms before and have plenty of experience.
Therefore, they did not take risks with the first batch of mushrooms in the mushroom room, and remained relatively conservative in growing oyster mushrooms.
Whether mushrooms grow fast or slowly, whether they are good or bad, actually depends on the most basic substrate.
If the filling material in the substrate is good and the growth environment of mycelium is good, the mushrooms will naturally grow well and fast.
Previously, Tan Shiqiu and Xie Quan used corn stalks and bean cake crumbs to culture.
This time the two of them decided to be bold and bold and try a different batch, so Tan Shiqiu thought about it and suggested: "I think adding sugar, this stuff is good, and the nutrition will definitely keep up."
Xie Quan has a different view on this: "I think this is a bit wasteful and increases the cost."
Nowadays, vegetables cannot be sold at high prices. Even if their mushrooms are delicious, they need to be kept fresh. If they are not sold for two days, they will be eaten dry.
Therefore, cost control is now on their mind.
Tan Shiqiu also responded to his reminder, and then she turned her head and looked at Xie Quan for help with her watery deer eyes.
Xie Quan's heart pounded at the sight of her, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her long braid, and said with a smile: "We can use the dregs just like we use the dregs of bean cakes."
As soon as he said this, Tan Shiqiu came to understand.
Using sugar-refining waste actually provides enough nutrients for mushrooms.
However, the climate here does not allow it, so it is impossible to grow sugar cane.
Then the two of them set their sights on the beets!
But now we don’t have it, so we can only temporarily use other materials to replace it. If conditions permit, the next batch will be added with the waste residue from sugar production.
Xie Quan already knew the ratio of the substrate. They didn't study anything else throughout the winter. Which ratio was the most delicious? He wrote it clearly in his notebook.
So, now let’s focus on what has already been successful.
If there are improvements in the future, you can try it slowly.
They now have a mushroom room, and half of them are guaranteed to grow normally, and the remaining half can be tried.
There are six particularly large shelves in the fifteen-square-meter mushroom room. Each shelf has a large space and can hold a lot of mushroom substrates.
It took two people three days just to prepare the matrix materials.
This is based on the fact that the two people have already purchased a lot before, and now they are just adjusting the ratio and preparing it.
If we prepare the materials now, it will definitely take longer than this.
It takes three days to prepare the matrix material, and then the matrix is filled.
This step is a technical procedure, so Xie Quan is not ready to publicize it to the outside world for the time being, so only the two of them can do it.
Xie Quan was reluctant to start talking about Shiqiu. This job was monotonous, tedious, and dirty.
"That won't work. How long will you have to work alone?" Tan Shiqiu was now full of energy and had used up his three-year-old energy again.
Xie Quan couldn't resist her, so he let her go.
If the 15-square-meter mushroom room is fully utilized, the final output of oyster mushrooms will be about 900 to 1,000 kilograms.
The growth cycle of oyster mushrooms is about one and a half to two months. If a batch of mycelium is planted, it will probably grow three to four crops.
The two of them were working on the substrate and calculating the cost.
A batch of mushrooms comes out and costs about 200 yuan.
In fact, after careful calculation, it is not very suitable. After all, we have to deduct the cost and the effort of two people.
However, this is just the beginning. Once they are familiar with the process, they can add mushroom chambers and form large-scale cultivation.
However, there is also a premise for this, and that is...
They have to have customers.
Tan Shiqiu was thinking about this matter in his mind while working on the matrix.
Nowadays, the Internet has just started, not to mention it is developed.
Therefore, if you want to use the Internet, it is just a dream.
However, print media is still booming today. Even if people in the village don't read newspapers, there are still many people in the city who do.
Moreover, their main purchasing power is also in the city.
