Chapter 252 Raising earthworms and growing mushrooms

The eldest sister's temperament really gave Han Mingxiu a headache. She said, Poor people must have something to hate. This sentence is indeed true. When she saw her bad-hearted appearance, Han Mingxiu was very angry. I don't want to care about her anymore.

However, he couldn't bear this heart.

Although the eldest sister has a weak personality and bad intentions, she is really good to her, like a mother who loves her, loves her, and cares about her.

From childhood to adulthood, the eldest sister has always taken care of her and cared for her like her own child. In the more than a year since she came back to live, the eldest sister has basically never let her wash her clothes by herself. She always takes off her clothes and washes them for her. In winter, he helped her to heat the kang hot every night, and then brought the hot foot wash to her house...

Thinking about her care and care for herself, she couldn't bear to ignore her, so she had to try to hone her temperament to make her less cowardly and bottomless...

Without Han Mingxiu's help, Han Zhide's house was also built. As for whether he borrowed the money to build the house or saved it secretly, Han Mingxiu has no idea.

After the house was built, Han Zhide also invited people from Quantunzi to their house for dinner to celebrate their happy event of building a new house.

Of course, this meal is not a free meal, it has to be a courtesy.

Although Han Zhide's popularity in Sun Aotun is not very popular, he is still a villager after all. He has been with everyone for so many years, and he has not had anything to do with his family for so many years. All the people in the village carry two catties of rice, and I'll bring two catties of white flour to take the gift.

Han Mingxiu was not invited. Han Zhide probably wanted to slap her on purpose. Everyone in the village invited them, so they didn't invite the sisters.

However, Han Mingxiu didn't care at all. He didn't invite her to be just right, and even if he invited her, he didn't take it with him. At the moment, she was busy growing mushrooms.

In the middle of June, the sky in the north is getting warmer. In the riverside, in the corner of the wall, and in the depths of the woods, traces of earthworms can also be found.

All the people from Sun Aotun went out to dig earthworms everywhere. When all the earthworms in this village were dug up, they went to other villages or mountains to dig. The production team asked the villagers to hand in 3 catties of earthworms to each household. There are now 72 households in the village, and a total of more than 200 catties of earthworms have been handed in.

After the earthworms were handed in, as the breeder of the earthworm breeding base in the village, Han Mingxiu was in charge of handling these earthworms. She evenly scattered the earthworms in the small woods at the west end of the village, covered with cow dung and humus, and officially started the breeding business. .

Others followed her example and started raising earthworms in the plot they had allocated.

However, there are also people who are afraid of losing the earthworms, so they move the earthworms to their own homes to breed. Basically, they are raised as Han Mingxiu said, using rotten leaf soil and cow dung to raise them. If cow dung is not available, use pig dung instead. You can also put some rotten vegetable leaves, rotten rice bran, etc. in it. Add nutrients to earthworms.

In addition to raising earthworms, Han Mingxiu cut off the mushroom roots of the mushrooms he picked last summer and sprinkled them in the cow dung and leaf rot, waiting for mushrooms to grow.

She has never raised mushrooms and doesn't know how mushrooms are raised. I just remember that when I used to eat mushrooms, I poured the removed mushroom roots and dirty water into the cesspool outside, and the mushroom roots grew mushrooms in the cesspool.

(The so-called dung pit is a large pit dug next to the pigsty by ordinary rural people. Pig manure, chicken manure, duck manure, all kinds of raw poultry manure, and straw ashes for cooking and kang are all thrown into the pit. Fermentation, in the spring, the fermented manure will be pulled into the ground as fertilizer, and the household garbage is generally poured into the pit. At that time, it will rot and ferment with the manure and become the best farmyard manure...)

In the past, because there was a lot of pig manure in the manure pit at home, she thought it was dirty, and she didn't eat the mushrooms that grew, but they were all picked and fed to the pigs.

But the dung in the grove is cow dung, which is relatively clean, because cows only eat grass and grain, unlike pigs, which are omnivores and eat everything. All disgusting.

Cow dung has no odor, and it doesn't even have any peculiar smell. In some areas of our country, people still use dry cow dung as firewood for cooking!

Moreover, the grove is not all cow dung, only about 1/4 of cow dung, and the rest is rotten leaf soil, so she will not dislike the mushrooms grown, even if it is sold to others, she will not will feel sorry.

When Han Zhide treated the guests, Han Mingxiu was still concentrating on raising her earthworms and planting her mushrooms. How could he be angry with him?

It was also God's perfection that Han Mingxiu threw the mushroom roots into the grove, and it started to rain.

It started with a light rain, and then it was pouring rain. The heavy rain kept falling, but the people in the village were very happy. With this rain, not only the crops were borrowed, but also the earthworms they raised. .

You know, if it doesn't rain in a few days, they will have to carry water to water those earthworms, which will save a lot of trouble.

Han Mingxiu was even happier, because it was not only the earthworms who took advantage of the power, but those mushrooms would definitely be able to emit a lot with this rain. Isn't there a song like this - 'After the rain, the mushrooms are spread all over the floor, fragrant and tender. chubby'?

After the rain stopped, Han Mingxiu put on his boots and trotted to the woods. Sure enough, I saw mushrooms emerging from the ground of the grove. On the rotten leaf soil, in the cow dung pile, in the grass... Looking around, there are small mushrooms that have just been unearthed.

Haha, it worked, oh yeah—

Han Mingxiu looked at the large piece of mushrooms, as if she saw a lot of rubles, she clenched her fists happily and almost jumped up.

Mushrooms grow quickly and can be picked in about a week.

Han Mingxiu happily put all the mushrooms into the space. The growth cycle of mushrooms is very fast. As long as there is sufficient rain, one crop can be harvested in seven or eight days. In this case, when the autumn harvest in October, about 100,000 catties of mushrooms can be received.

Oh, 100,000 jins, if you get Su Guo, you can exchange a lot of money...

Han Mei pondered beautifully, and began to imagine that she would exchange those 100,000 catties of mushrooms for something good...

Because he took over the job of raising earthworms, Han Mingxiu became very leisurely. Basically, he stayed in the woods for about an hour every morning, and went for another hour or so in the afternoon. In the past two hours, she spent most of her time picking mushrooms, observing that those mushrooms grew fast and that they were easy to serve.

While observing, accumulate experience in growing mushrooms!

If it was not raining for many days, she would secretly water the grove. Get the humidity she needs for those mushrooms and earthworms. Under her careful farming, not only mushrooms are harvested one after another, but also earthworm farming is also very successful. When she used a small planing pick to secretly lift off the rotten leaves or cow dung, she would see swarms of earthworms rolling around, but it was a no-brainer.

As for collecting earthworms, soaking earthworms, chopping earthworms, and drying earthworms, they are all done by Xiaosuo.

When the earthworms are dug up, they cannot be directly fed to the livestock. They must be soaked in water for a day, and then the earthworms spit out all the mud in their stomachs.

After soaking, you can't directly feed the animals. You have to cook the earthworms in a large pot to kill the bacteria and parasites on the earthworms. After cooking, they can be chopped and mixed into the feed. At this time, they can be fed to pigs. Fire to feed other animals.

If there are too many earthworms, you can also put the excess in the sun to dry, put it in a bag and save it to feed the animals later.

Almost all of Han Mingxiu's tasks were undertaken by the junior school.

Xiaosuo is already twelve years old, because now he eats at Han Mingxiu's house every day, the food comes up, and the nutrition also keeps up. He is much taller and stronger than before. This job is not exhausting at all.

With his help, Han Mingxiu has a lot of free time that can be used for other things.

As before, she went to Grandma Huo every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to bring some delicious food to Grandma Huo, help her with work, and talk with her.

Now all production teams have started work. Aunt Huo earns work points in the production team every day, and is not at home, so Han Mingxiu doesn't have to worry about meeting Aunt Huo when she goes to Grandma Huo's house, so she can bring delicious food to Grandma Huo as she likes. Yes, let's chat with her...

In addition, she still went to the county town every Sunday to deliver vegetables and food to Uncle Gao, Uncle Zhou and the others, and took good care of those people. Everyone was very grateful to her, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Gao even more They treat her like their own daughter!
