After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

She didn't recognize many of these mushrooms, but she knew some of them. When she was in the mountains, she knew many of them. Her next-door neighbor grew mushrooms at home, and she learned a little from them. After she came out of the mountains, she even grew oyster mushrooms in her own rental house.

Jiang Xiaohe asked Wang Qiuxia to get a basin so that she could see what kind of mushrooms were in the basket.

Wang Qiuxia thought she was going to wash the mushrooms, so she put some water in it and brought it out.

"Mom, I need a clean basin so I can pick out some mushrooms."

"You want to sell it?"

Jiang Xiaohe explained: "I'll see if I can grow some myself."

Ah? This was the first time Wang Qiuxia heard about growing mushrooms. Could this wild thing be grown?

But in her eyes, many insignificant things on the mountain were exchanged for silver by Jiang Xiaohe. She couldn't help but believe it a little and quickly went to get another basin.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the many wild mushrooms in the basin and picked out all the morels, boletes, tea tree mushrooms, black fungus and the like that she knew. There was also a large mushroom in the basket that was very similar to the oyster mushrooms eaten in later generations. There were some others that she didn't recognize very well.

"Can these wild mushrooms really be grown by ourselves?" Wang Qiuxia finally asked the question in her mind.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the selected mushrooms and said with a smile: "I'll just give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't work, mother can't laugh at me."

"How could that be?" Wang Qiuxia said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and said seriously, "Mom, although our family's life has been getting better and better in the past few months, we don't have a business that can really survive. I always feel that I have to eat one meal and not the next, so I think that if our family wants to live better and better, we must have a job that can make money for a long time."

Wang Qiuxia understood what she said. These words were also said by Dashan when he was around. Dashan also said that if the family could save more money in the future, he would definitely go to the town to buy a shop and do some kind of business.

"Mother understands. If you need mother and father to do anything, just tell us directly. It's the slack season for farming now anyway, and there's not much to do at home."

They did it right away. Not long after harvesting the corn, the corn cobs came in handy.

If you want to grow mushrooms, the most important thing is the strain. As long as you have the strain, the rest will be easy.

But when it comes to the strain of fungus, Jiang Xiaohe is in trouble again. In her previous life, she grew the fungus herself, and the tutorial was from Douyin. Although she knows how to do it, the ancient times were not like the later times, where there are plastics. It would be difficult for her to seal it!

But when I looked down at the mushrooms in the pot, the urge to make money took over. I thought to myself that I might as well give it a try. If it failed, I could just try another method.

Wang Qiuxia saw that she was staring at the mushrooms but didn't do anything, so she asked, "What can I do for you now?"

Jiang Xiaohe thought for a moment and said, "Mom, do we have rice husks at home?"

"Yes, yes. We don't have pigs at home, and I can't bear to throw away these rice husks, so I've been keeping them in the backyard. I'll get them for you right now."

Jiang Xiaohe quickly started boiling water, as sterilization is very important!

Wang Qiuxia brought the rice husks and poured some of them into the pot to cook?

Although Wang Qiuxia didn't understand, she respected it.

After the water boiled, he used a winnowing basket to drain out the rice husks, and then asked Wang Qiuxia to bring the wheat bran from home.

Then use scissors to cut the roots under the mushrooms into pieces, and then mix the rice husks, wheat bran and the cut mycorrhizae together.

"Is it done?" Wang Qiuxia asked.

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "How can that be possible, mother? This is just the first step. Let's see if we can get the bacteria out." As there were no plastic bags, she asked Wang Qiuxia to get gauze from home, wrap the bacteria, and put them in a cool place to see if it would work. She secretly did the same with all the bacteria strains, marked them, and put them in a cool place in the backyard for ventilation.

"What to do next?"

Wang Qiuxia followed behind her, and Jiang Xiaohe was a little helpless: "Then, Mom fried the mushrooms she just picked for lunch."

what?

Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and said, "Let's not waste the kindness of our uncle and aunt."

She just cut the roots, which was equivalent to cleaning the mushrooms.

"Oh." Wang Qiuxia turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

At noon, the family had a delicious meal of fried pork with mushrooms.

At the dinner table, Wang Qiuxia mentioned that Jiang Xiaohe wanted to grow mushrooms.

Zhang Fu looked at Jiang Xiaohe and asked, "Can this mushroom really be made?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "Not necessarily! I'm just trying it out, but if we can really grow it, our family will have a job that can support us."

Zhang Fu lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice. If they could really grow the mushrooms in the mountains at home, they would not only be able to support their family, but would also make a fortune!

Zhang Fu took a look at Jiang Xiaohe and wondered why there were so many wives here!

Put down the bowl and chopsticks: "If you need Dad to do anything, just ask me anytime."

Jiang Xiaohe was stunned at first, then nodded: "Let's wait a few days to see how the fungus in the backyard grows. But if possible, Dad will take the time to see if he can clean up the backyard."

Zhang Fu nodded: "I will clean it up tomorrow. If you can use it, you can use it. If you can't, we can plant some cabbage and radishes so that we can have more food in the winter."

Wang Qiuxia listened and nodded in agreement.

It was market day again, and Jiang Xiaohe got up early. However, this morning was completely different from the previous ones, and it was already a little cold.

Wang Qiuxia saw her get up and quickly poured her some hot water: "Chuan'er hasn't woken up yet."

"Still sleeping! Mom, I'm going to town today to see if I can sell the wine piled up in the backyard. You can feed Chuan'er later."

Wang Qiuxia nodded: "Don't worry, the morning light is getting later and later, you can take Uncle Li's ox cart to the town later."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

Wang Qiuxia saw her washing up, scooped up the rice and put it on the stove, then turned around to chop grass. Eight of the ten chickens she bought have been alive for about a month and have grown to the size of a palm. By the beginning of next spring, all of them will surely be able to lay eggs.

Seeing that it was getting light, Jiang Xiaohe went to the backyard to get a jar of wine and was about to go out, when she heard Zhang Daniu's voice outside: "Cousin, cousin."

Jiang Xiaohe hurried out.

"Cousin, are you going to town today?"

"You're going too?"

Zhang Daniu nodded: "I have embroidered a lot of handkerchiefs these days, and I plan to take them to the town to sell. If you want to go, I will go with you. If you don't want to go, mother will accompany me."

"Then wait for me."

Zhang Danniu nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe carried a backpack and walked towards the village entrance with her. Uncle Li's ox cart was waiting for people at the entrance.
