Early spring in the world [farming]

Chapter 38

Subei Gu cultivated the type of mushroom called "Pleurotus ostreatus" because the spores she collected when cultivating the strains were from Pleurotus ostreatus, and naturally only the species of Pleurotus ostreatus was grown.

Although the grown-up oyster mushrooms are still dozens of mushrooms squeezed together, their caps are scattered high and low like open umbrellas, so that they are no longer as dense as they were in the mushroom bud period.

Ms. Meng, who was in charge of cooking, cut two handfuls, which were enough for five members of the Su family to eat.There are many ways to cook mushrooms, but they are basically used as a side dish to highlight the taste of other ingredients. They are only used as fillings when making buns, dumplings and steamed buns.

Meng Yu made a stewed shredded fish with mushrooms. This is a dish cooked with mushrooms, fish, tofu, and winter bamboo shoots. These ingredients can be found everywhere in the village, but it is still a bit complicated to make.Fortunately, this is not a difficult task for Ms. Meng, who has been immersed in cooking for many years. She controls the best taste time of various ingredients, so as not to let a certain ingredient cook for too long and burn it, or cook it for a long time. Time is not enough and it loses its flavor.

The oyster mushroom has been torn into shreds, but when I put it into the mouth with chopsticks, I can taste its plumpness and softness. Besides, Tan Ruyi wondered if she was too hungry. She actually felt that this mushroom was different from the oyster mushroom she ate before Similarly, after eating, the lower abdomen is warm, which not only dispels the coldness brought by the autumn wind, but also sweeps away the exhaustion of the body.

Not only Tan Ruyi felt this way, but Lu Xuehuan also said it carelessly.

Su Bei, the only one who didn't respond, paused and said, "That's because my mother ate this dish while it was hot, and naturally felt warm after eating this dish."

There is some truth in what she said, but Lu Xuehuan still thinks that eating this oyster mushroom is of great benefit. Regulate the body. But it is not a medicinal material after all, and it does not have such an exaggerated medicinal effect."

Of course Su Beigu knew that this was due to the aura. Ordinary people don't know the existence of aura, and they don't know how to absorb and refine aura. Therefore, in their view, the most obvious change is that the body feels warm, full of energy and energy. A slight improvement.Although it is indeed beneficial to the body, she does not want Lu Xuehuan to use it as medicine.

Lu Xuehuan suddenly realized.Tan Ruyi also got the answer, but this did not prevent her from liking this mushroom, so she took another chopstick.Seeing that there was not much left in the plate of stewed shredded fish with mushrooms, and Su Beigu hadn't eaten a few bites, Tan Ruyi quietly picked some up for her with her serving chopsticks.

Su Beigu was very happy that she hadn't forgotten herself, but she still put it back to Tan Ruyi: "Sister Ah Tan, eat more if you like, I'm already full."

Although these mushrooms contain aura according to her idea, it doesn't mean that the more you eat, the better. Everything has to be done step by step, and she has to absorb and refine the aura bit by bit, otherwise, if you eat too much, you will easily get full.

Lu Xuehuan took a look at the two of them, and always felt that their getting along was getting more subtle—the two were sisters-in-law in the past, and she was very happy to see the relationship between the two of them getting close.But now Tan Ruyi has no sense that she is not the daughter-in-law of the Su family at all, she treats Su Bei as before, and takes care of her even more than before, as if the two are the young couple who have worshiped and married.

In other words, aren't they just "little couples" who have worshiped and are short of a bridal chamber?

Lu Xuehuan's thoughts diverged to the memory of Brother Gu's wedding in Su Bei, but she didn't think much about it, she just stared at the two with a little taste until Tan Ruyi realized that she also held a chopstick for her: "Godmother Eat too."

Lu Xuehuan gave Su Beigu a small look. The latter suppressed a smile and imitated Tan Ruyi's filial piety in serving her food. She finally finished the meal to her heart's content.

The mushrooms cultivated by Gu in Subei are so delicious that Lu Xuehuan wants to make extra money. However, there are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. As long as you spend a little time in your spare time, you can pick a lot of them, and many people can’t tell them apart. Which ones are poisonous and which ones are not, I dare not try it lightly, so the mushrooms are not worth a few dollars.

But this is only the value of wild mushrooms. The mushrooms cultivated by Gu in northern Jiangsu have been tasted and can be said to be non-toxic, and they can be supplied stably. Don’t worry that if you eat one meal today, you will have nothing to eat tomorrow.

Lu Xuehuan wanted to try in the village first to see if she could sell it.She told Su Beigu about this idea, and the latter did not object, saying: "Since mother wants to do this, let's give it a try. Regardless of success or failure, it is always an experience."

Lu Xuehuan said: "Sometimes I always feel that you are my elder. You speak old-fashioned, but it makes people feel at ease."

Su Beigu smiled and did not explain.

She has lived two lifetimes, and her combined age is about the same age as Lu Xuehuan. Although she is not an elder, she has the qualifications to encourage her to dare to fight hard.

……

Just when Lu Xuehuan was gearing up to sell mushrooms, the cotton gin was finally built by the Tan family.Tan Guan immediately sent it to Su's house to Su Beigu, and said a little anxiously: "We haven't tried it after installing it. I don't know how it will work. You can try it."

Of course he can get some cotton at home and try it out first, but he always feels that Su Bei Gu is the one who produced the blueprints and must know more about cotton gins than he does. to give him some pointers.

At this moment, he could no longer remember the grievances and grievances between the Su Qin family, and even more so, he forgot that Su Beigu was just a Taoist priest, and he treated her as a peer or an elder.Once devoted to work, he is also quite selfless, and Tan Ruyi has inherited this from him.

More importantly, although he has mastered the operating principle of the cotton gin through parts, he still thinks that Su Beigu needs to show him the correct operation method.

Su Beigu didn't think too much about it. The cotton heaped at home had been drying for enough days. If he piled it aside and left it alone, he was afraid that the quality of the cotton would be affected by moisture.

The principle of the cotton gin is actually to use a sawtooth cylinder to hook the lint, and then to peel off the cottonseed in the cotton by rubbing and tumbling with another cylinder.During this process, only one person is responsible for turning the handle on the side to keep the cylinder of the cotton gin running.

"Put the cotton in through this opening." Su Beigu instructed Zhong Sheng who was on the side, and Tan Guan had no objection, while he held the wheel himself, ready to turn the cylinder inside at any time.

Zhong Sheng realized that he was about to witness the birth of a machine comparable to a textile machine, his mouth was dry from nervousness, and his hands trembled from excitement.

He poured the cotton into his mouth as instructed, Tan Guan turned the cylinder, and under their witness, the lint gradually separated from the cottonseed, the lint fell into a corner, and the cottonseed fell along the gap in the cylinder. Under the cotton gin.

"It's done!" Chong Sheng exclaimed excitedly, Tan Guan was also very happy, even Lu Xuehuan and Tan Ruyi who were watching from the side looked happy, only Su Bei looked at the cotton gin thoughtfully.

When all the cotton was separated successfully, Tan Guan suppressed his joy and asked Su Beigu who was beside him, "How is it, Daoist Su?"

"It's a success." Su Bei Gu said.

Tan Ruyi heard her implication: "But there is still room for improvement?"

"Well, I didn't consider the problem of the separation of cotton lint and cottonseed before. Now that I think about it, they are separated, but sometimes the cotton lint will fall together with the cottonseed, just like cocklebur and cotton lint. It's like lint is caught, and you have to clean it up."

Tan Guan said: "It is already a great achievement for the cotton gin to do this."

Su Bei Gu said: "Improve it again, increase the space between these two places, put a sieve under it when it is running, and pour it out after a certain amount of cottonseed is collected. In addition, add a bellows to the separated lint... ..."

Tan Guan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Success."

Although Su Beigu thought there was still room for improvement in the cotton gin, Lu Xuehuan felt that it was enough, so after learning that this cotton gin was ordered by Su Beigu, she proposed to keep the cotton gin and use it first. .

These days, Tan Guan has thoroughly grasped the structural diagram of the cotton gin. Leaving the original cotton gin at Su's house will not affect him to build a new one. After obtaining the approval of Su Bei Gu, he will keep the cotton gin up.

Lu Xuehuan seemed to have got some novel toy, and kept spinning around the cotton gin, and even ginned the cotton by herself, until she felt that her arm was sore.It's just that she never left the cotton gin. When she saw Tan Ruyi, she said with emotion: "I didn't expect you——" After realizing that Tan Guan and her were not relatives, she changed her words again, "The Tan family can make such an exquisite machine. .”

Tan Ruyi thought to herself, the Tan family didn't come up with this, but Su Beigu didn't want to mention her role in it, so she didn't say anything.

Lu Xuehuan suddenly thought that after so many things happened, the Tan family was still willing to sell the first cotton gin to the Su family, so she should be kind and pay back the money owed to the Tan family as soon as possible.

So she bid farewell to the cotton gin for a while, went to the "mushroom house" behind the main house to pick a handful of oyster mushrooms, and went to visit the house of the neighbor Aunt Liang.

The next day, Aunt Liang came to the door and asked Lu Xuehuan if there were any more mushrooms in the Su family. She wanted to buy more, and she whispered to Lu Xuehuan: "The mushrooms Su Daochang grows are as unfathomable as hers. They look like ordinary mushrooms. mushrooms, but after my family finished eating them, it was like a dead tree in spring, we last night..."

Lu Xuehuan was stunned, why didn't she know that the mushroom had this effect?Is it different for men to eat and women to eat?

She told Su Beigu about it.

Su Beigu: "..."

"This mushroom doesn't have that effect," she explained.

"But you Su Maobo clearly..."

"Didn't he suffer from rheumatism before, and often had rheumatism attacks? After sleeping well, the rheumatism attacks were less frequent, and his energy and spirit recovered. Naturally, he was interested in doing that kind of thing. It happened that they ate this mushroom and mistakenly thought it was a mushroom. It's just the effect of mushrooms."

Lu Xuehuan thinks there is some truth, but this does not prevent Aunt Liang from promoting this oyster mushroom as a tonic, especially because Subei Gu's status as a Taoist priest is easily reminiscent of the "art in the house" practiced by Taoism.In fact, there are only a few sects who regard Fang Zhongshu as a means of practice, but the common people can't tell which sect is clear, especially the Taoist school has an example of blowing Ganoderma lucidum into a fairy medicine. One of my favorite ingredients.

Everyone naturally associated the mushrooms planted by Gu in northern Jiangsu with some Taoism, and soon many women in the village came to Su's house to look for Lu Xuehuan quietly, wanting to buy some mushrooms from her.

Lu Xuehuan: "..."

She was obviously buying mushrooms, but she thought the other party was here to buy bullwhip because of his hesitant look.

Although you have made money, what should you do if you don’t feel the pleasure of making money at all?

The author has something to say:

Lu Xuehuan: Unknowingly, I started eating CP.
