In the original plane, Yang Mingzhi knew a special economic model-cave economy. [(This word seems too big. In fact, the so-called cave economy means that farmers use caves, and growing mushrooms is an important project.
.
In fact, not only natural caves, many air-raid shelters were also used as waste after the end of the Cold War. Some were used as warehouses, and some became farmland for mushrooms.
Yang Mingzhi has visited some mushroom production bases, but they are not caves.
They were some ordinary rural houses, but ordinary people had renovated the rooms and turned them into complete dark rooms.
It is necessary to avoid light, ensure a constant temperature, and maintain a relative humidity of 9o%. In addition, the moisture content of the culture material is also required. Since villagers and soldiers can always collect some edible fungi in the nearby mountains and forests, why can't the fungi be collected?
How about preserving and cultivating mushrooms yourself?
Olkin was very surprised when Yang Mingzhi said what he said. He knew that he was not the material, but he still had to be suspicious.
"Sir, the rainfall in Ukraine and Belarus is generally abundant in October, but in winter, the temperature will drop below freezing. Even if we grow mushrooms, such low temperatures will definitely have a huge impact. In winter, potatoes also stop growing, and we cannot grow at all.
agriculture."
"Really? Comrade, your words are too absolute," Yang Mingzhi said.
"Maybe, Comrade Deputy Commander, I am not an agriculturalist or botanist. We are growing mushrooms in caves. Maybe Kavitsky is more experienced."
Olkin turned the conversation to the newly appointed presence, Kavitsky, who was here with a confused look on his face.
Yang Mingzhi looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head. "Perhaps I am really wishful thinking? You are a group of working class people after all, and our camp may not have any experts in growing mushrooms."
Yevlov immediately took over the conversation and said: "Really? Since you mentioned this matter, Berekov, you may have experience. Or maybe you have heard of it or seen it before, so you are relying on your own memory."
, you can definitely do it, and we will help. After all, I know that mushrooms grow very quickly and can fill their stomachs. The soldiers eat potatoes and bread every day. In winter, when vegetables are scarce, more mushrooms are needed.
You can also adjust it a bit.”
Yang Mingzhi chuckled, "Okay, how about I bite the bullet and give it a try."
At this moment, Carambola in the corner couldn't help coughing and weakly interjected: "If it's a mushroom, I will."
Her words immediately made her the center of attention, and everyone looked at this clever girl. Yang Mingzhi quickly asked: "Besica, did you just say that you can grow mushrooms?"
"Yes! I can, because I have actually planted it and have some experience."
Carambola's so-called experience was a few years ago. Her deceased father not only took her hunting, but also taught her how to gather. There were not only game animals in the nearby mountains, but also a variety of mountain treasures. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were the most precious.
In addition, there are also a wide variety of edible mushrooms.
In order to collect better in the future, her father collected soil full of mycelium and took it home. After some processing, he made a medium and added as much humus and water as possible. These tips were taught to the young girl Carambola
.
Those were her warm memories. Later, her biological brother went to join the army and her younger brother stayed at home. After the disaster, she was the only one who survived the Japanese search in the dry well. If her brother was still alive, he should have joined the Northeastern Army.
Guan. Because these are painful memories, Yang Tao is unwilling to reveal her scars, and will not even tell her husband.
The reason why she can casually call her husband brother is because her eldest brother, who is a soldier, is only a few years younger than Yang Mingzhi.
Carambola claimed that she could grow mushrooms, make culture media, and distinguish which ones were edible and which ones were poisonous.
After her words, Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized. This girl's experience had long been exposed. During the retreat, the soldiers were looking for things that could be preserved in the forest. This girl could always find a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables of all kinds.
"Educable mushrooms are always inconspicuous, while poisonous ones are always too conspicuous." Star Tao relied on a woman's intuition and hunter's experience to distinguish which mushrooms were edible in this foreign country. Even near Catfish Village, she
Found an area where mushrooms are easy to grow.
Everyone was overjoyed after hearing what this girl had given her.
"If you follow my recipe and find soil containing mycelium, we can quickly make a culture medium, and then just place it in a suitable place and wait for it to grow quietly." Starfruit's words are like mushrooms.
It can be cultivated, and the way she vowed to do so made Yang Mingzhi feel more confident.
Mushrooms, fungal plants, can be cultivated as long as they maintain constant temperature and humidity. Cave is undoubtedly a natural cultivation base.
Yang Mingzhi said: "Since rainwater will seep into our Black Mountain after it rains, the humidity can be guaranteed. As for the temperature, the special environment of the cave allows it to maintain the temperature even in the coldest period. The Xia family is also unusually cool. So we simply
Just dig more caves and specialize in mushroom production. In this way, even in winter, we can still produce some food to eat."
Being able to produce food in winter sounds very tempting, and everyone is ready to do it after being told by Yang Mingzhi and his wife.
"Since the deputy division commander thinks so, let's just take action!" Olkin said.
"Okay! So, Commander, do you have any other objections?" Yang Mingzhi turned to ask Yevlov, and received a completely supportive reply from him.
"Okay, Bessika! I give you an order in the name of commander. Since you said you have the ability to make culture media, then go ahead and do it! Let's do it!"
The situation became very abrupt, Star Tao stuck out her tongue, and she gained another identity - a little girl picking mushrooms.
This was an order from her husband, and even more so from a superior, and the girl chose to obey it completely. However, she also made a small request, that is, she needed some people to listen to her instructions and dig the soil containing mycelium.
This visit to the construction site of the warehouse in "Black Mountain" was really fruitful. Yang Mingzhi never imagined that his wife, who shared the same bed with him, would grow mushrooms. If he thought about it carefully, if the cave was really full of mushrooms as he imagined,
There is an extra dish on the soldiers' table. In fact, it is not just that.
Although potatoes are the staple food of the people, they lack a very important amino acid - tryptophan. If people only use potatoes for a long time, for example, resulting in a lack of some essential amino acids, the most significant result will not only be mental malaise, but also physical
Weird ulcers will appear - after all, the various amino acids needed by the human body must work together to complete the construction of body cells.
If you can produce mushrooms, the disadvantages of potatoes can be ignored. Because mushrooms are also rich in amino acids, the two can achieve excellent complementarity. In this way, the intake of wheat flour can be further reduced for ordinary people, and good food can provide the best
Fighters and ordinary people, in this arduous war environment behind enemy lines, are extremely happy not to go hungry.
Yang Mingzhi knew that the Slavic people had strong patience and that the people supported the guerrillas in fighting the invaders, and they were willing to go hungry. Because everyone knew that if the enemies were not driven away, everyone would die.
In Belarus, many people choose to cooperate with the invaders in order to survive in exchange for the gift of not killing. More people are using various means to fight, so in October, there are still sporadic people migrating to the swamps to escape the war. As a result
It turns out that there is actually an isolated Soviet island here.
Yang Mingzhi gave his wife a new task, and the girl immediately led a group of villagers into the mountains to search. They left in the morning and returned in the evening, with several carriages filled with soil. Carambola vowed that the soil could be used to make culture media.
Yang Mingzhi fully supported her work, and at the same time he was also waiting for the production of anti-tank guns. The agreed time was three days, and Liguschkov claimed that it would be done in two days, but who knew?
The weather is not good and the weather is cloudy and rainy. The rain in autumn is very delicate and not heavy, and the temperature drop is indeed very obvious.
It rained, and Yang Mingzhi was most worried about the food problem. He immediately contacted the blacksmith village and asked Yelentina to give instructions.
"You guys can rest assured. Since you are in Blacksmith Village, you will be busy with your important matters. There is no need to worry here in Catfish Village. The waterproofing measures in each warehouse are very good!" Yelentina's words made Yang Mingzhi and others feel at ease.
But this man also forgot to mention one thing - fishing.
When the rain comes, the fish that live in a large number of ponds near Catfish Village start to boil, especially the catfish that emerge from the mud en masse. The predatory instinct of these creatures drives them into surface waters, because rising water will drown some animals.
, they just ate the dead bodies, only to be swept away by the waiting predators.
Rainy days are a good time for fishing. A group of soldiers transformed into fishermen carrying nets made of hemp rope. They returned home with a full load, and their faces were filled with the joy of the harvest.
The fish catches were gathered together. Yelenkina looked at these lively fish excitedly and ordered: "Make the fish into salted fish as much as possible. The salt dropped to us by air must be used sparingly. Once the salted fish is made, we will keep it as backup food."
