Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Gu Qingyu did not let himself be idle during his vacation. He would go to the mushroom greenhouse early in the morning and watch Master Qian Wenming and his apprentice teaching Gu Yousheng and the others. Sometimes, when Gu Qingyu met someone who was interested, he would also follow and learn.

With the help of Master Qian Wenming and his apprentice, the mushroom greenhouse is currently growing very well. When Gu Qingyu went to check yesterday morning, he found that many mushrooms had begun to grow.

At the current growth rate, the first batch of mushrooms will be ready for picking in about a week, so sales will naturally be a priority.

Gu Qingyu did not intervene in solving the sales problem, but seeing Secretary Gu finally coming back from the county town with a smile yesterday, I think the result should be gratifying.

Sure enough, the first thing Secretary Gu did after returning to the village was to notify everyone to come and go, and Gu Qingyu participated as a non-staff member.

"Haha, after our village's mushrooms are harvested, we've already agreed on a purchase price with the supply and marketing cooperative: 24 yuan per 240 catties of fresh mushrooms, and yuan per catties of dried mushrooms."

"Wow, this is not cheap. The price is almost as high as that of peanuts!" After hearing Gu Lei's quotation, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right. Before the New Year, the purchase price of cabbage in our village was only 12 yuan per catties. This is double that."

With such a high price as an incentive, everyone's enthusiasm has increased even more. They are all looking forward to the first batch of mushrooms coming out as soon as possible so that they can make a lot of money and have a good year.

Ever since the purchase price was announced, the villagers' attention has been drawn to the mushroom greenhouse, and even people from several surrounding villages have heard the news and come over to inquire about the news.

According to the current situation, expanding the scale after the New Year must be put on the agenda. Gu Qingyu took the opportunity to discuss personnel training with Secretary Gu.

"Uncle Lei, after this first batch of mushrooms becomes famous and sells well, I think people from the surrounding villages will come knocking on our door. What are you going to do?"

Gu Lei was immersed in the joy of the upcoming harvest and had not yet recovered when he heard Gu Qingyu's question. He was stunned and did not understand what the other party meant for a moment.

Of course, he didn't want other villages to learn this technology. The reason why mushrooms can be sold at such a high price now is naturally because they are rare and valuable.

But he also knew that the most critical bacteria species were in Gu Qingyu's hands, so Gu Lei asked hesitantly, "Qingyu, what do you think?"

"Agree with everyone around here who wants to build a mushroom greenhouse. But don't agree right away. Give them a little chill before agreeing!"

After listening to what Gu Qingyu said, Gu Lei thought about it for a while and understood that most people don’t care about things that are given for free, and only things that are snatched away are valuable.

This time, thanks to Gu Qingyu's relationship, their village saved the money on purchasing the mushroom strains and other materials, but they have to pay for the next batch themselves.

Gu Lei was really worried about what would happen if he spent a lot of money to grow mushrooms but couldn’t sell them and ended up with nothing in his hands?

Gu Qingyu naturally understood Gu Lei's concerns, but she had thought of this problem when she wanted to return to the village to grow mushrooms.

When he was in Beijing before, Gu Qingyu had set his sights on the Canton Fair held twice a year. The neighboring countries of South Korea and Japan had records of purchasing mushrooms at the Canton Fair every year, but the quantity was not large, and most of them were wild mushrooms that had been dried.

Compared with the prices in other countries, Gu Qingyu's mushrooms can be said to be of good quality and low price, and the output is large, so naturally they will not be unsalable.

Of course, there are always unexpected events. Gu Qingyu also considered the possibility of failure, so when choosing the strains, they focused on mushrooms suitable for drying and storage.

This can greatly reduce the loss of fresh mushrooms and extend the sales cycle of mushrooms, both domestically and internationally.

Gu Qingyu thought about these things in her mind but ultimately did not express them to Gu Lei. Instead, she talked about another matter.

"Uncle Lei, I know that everyone is not well off right now. The money withheld by the various brigades is reserved for buying supplies for spring farming, and everyone can't come up with extra money."

"Tell them that if they really want to build a mushroom greenhouse, the county can guarantee them an interest-free loan from a credit union."

When Gu Qingyu said this, Gu Lei was immediately surprised! "Interest-free loan? No interest?"

Gu Lei didn’t know what other villages thought, but they were definitely going to expand their scale. He had originally planned to put all the money he earned this time into it.

Now after hearing what Gu Qingyu said, could he double the scale? As the first person to try it, Gu Lei was thinking excitedly in his heart.

"Is this news true?" Gu Qingyu nodded affirmatively. This was not a lie.

Previously, Gu Qingyu was ostracized by Zhou Yuejin and Wei Zhongrong, but she accepted it without making any trouble.

However, Gu Qingyu took the opportunity to propose the mushroom greenhouse plan and showed the two of them a detailed plan.

The meaning is very clear. Since you are unwilling to share power with me, I will start my own business.

In fact, these two people were not optimistic about Gu Qingyu's plan, but since Gu Qingyu had acquiesced to the previous work arrangements and did not make a fuss, they naturally agreed to Gu Qingyu's plan.

So when the county held a summary meeting before the New Year, Gu Qingyu took the plan signed and agreed by Zhou Yuejin and Wei Zhongrong and went to see Secretary Hu of the County Party Committee and others.

In order to prevent the county leaders from disagreeing, Gu Qingyu also took out a purchase order issued by the logistics department of the provincial machinery factory to prove the sales problem, so the plan was finally approved.

Gu Qingyu asked Secretary Yang from the machinery factory to help him get this purchase order in order to gain the trust of the leaders.

Secretary Yang was Gu An and Duan Xuezhi's old boss. They had met once when Gu An came to pick up Gu Qingyu. When Gu Qingyu came back this time, Gu An specifically asked his old boss to take good care of the girl.

After giving Gu Lei some reassurance, Gu Qingyu spoke about what she had originally intended to say.

"Uncle Lei, Master Qian and his apprentice are both experts in mushroom cultivation. After we expand our business, we must also train professional technicians as soon as possible."

"It's impossible for Yousheng and his men to handle the job alone. You should select more smart young people from the village and train them."

Gu Qingyu thought for a moment and then whispered, "Teacher Qian and his friends have special identities. They should keep a low profile while studying. You should also teach the villagers a lesson!"

Gu Lei immediately understood what he said, "Don't worry, everyone in the village has been warned, and everyone is now relying on Teacher Qian for their money!"

"At the same time, contact the surrounding villages that are interested in building mushroom greenhouses and ask them to send people here to learn how to do it!"

"Otherwise, if we really start working on it, it's impossible for a few technicians to handle it. I need to know a little bit about it myself!"

Gu Lei heard this and said, "Ah, isn't it still unclear which villages agree to join?"

"That's fine. It's a good opportunity for them to come and listen to the lectures and gain a better understanding of the project's development prospects. Then someone will naturally take the initiative to ask to participate."

What happened later was exactly as Gu Qingyu had expected. After the New Year, 80% of the villages around Gujia Village joined in the mushroom greenhouse cultivation.

The people in Gujia Village have already eaten the meat, so they have to hurry up and drink some hot soup!
