Chapter 671 672 [Growing Mushrooms]

  In the second half of 1997, Chen Jinshan invited Professor Ling Yinong, a well-known agronomy expert in southern Fujian, to teach the villagers to grow mushrooms, engage in garden economy, and increase income.

   "This mushroom is a very good thing. It contains amino acids, lysine, oxalic acid, protein and other nutrients. Eating it will be very good for the body.

  And growing mushrooms does not require a large area, it can be grown in your own garden. It takes only three months from planting to harvesting a crop of mushrooms to see benefits.

  A 20-square-meter greenhouse can produce 600 catties of mushrooms in one crop. If the purchase price is two yuan per catty, one crop can earn one thousand and two yuan. "Chen Jinshan held a meeting and said to the villagers.

   Hearing what he said, everyone was very excited.

   First of all, growing mushrooms can really make money. One crop every three months, one thousand two per crop, four thousand eight per year, which is more cost-effective than farming.

  Secondly, mushrooms can be grown in the yard without occupying arable land. Each villager in Jintan Village only has three acres of land, and now they have plans. Those who grow fruit trees, corn, and watermelons...there is no more arable land. So it would be great for them if they could grow mushrooms in their yard.

   "Comrade Chen, listen to what you say, you need to build a greenhouse to grow mushrooms?" Li Dayou asked.

"Yes, because mushrooms have certain requirements on temperature and humidity, a greenhouse must be used to ensure a good cultivation environment." Chen Jinshan explained, "And you don't have to worry, in fact, the investment in a greenhouse is not high, 2,000 yuan can be built.”

  Hearing what he said, many villagers nodded.

  Two thousand yuan is not a big deal to them.

  In the past two years, Yuquan camp has developed rapidly, and the income of the people has also increased significantly.

  According to statistics, in 1996, the per capita disposable income of Yuquanying had reached 4,600 yuan. This figure is even higher than the disposable income of urban residents in Ning'an County.

   Therefore, paying two thousand yuan is no longer a problem for most families.

   Unlike in the drama, the villagers in Jintan Village are so poor that they need loans to build mushroom sheds.

"Comrade Chen, you said that a catty of mushrooms can be sold for two yuan. Then I ask you, how sure are you? If you can't sell them after planting them, what should you do?" Li Dayou asked again, "You guys I listened to you before, planting grapes and apples, but I almost lost everything."

  After what he said, the confidence of the villagers began to shake again.

  In 1996, the whole village had a bumper harvest of grapes, and the price was once reduced to only 20 cents, and they almost lost their money.

   Fortunately, Xiangnan's winery was purchased at a high price, which saved them from disaster.

   Now, if this mushroom grows like a grape again and no one wants it, it will be ruined.

  Chen Jinshan nodded.

  He also experienced the fruit incident last time, and he can understand the villagers' worries.

  Anyone who works so hard to grow something will not only fail to make money, but will also feel depressed when they lose a lot of money.

   It is normal for them to be bitten by snakes once and afraid of well ropes for ten years. They worry that mushrooms will repeat the same mistakes.

   "I have already discussed this matter with Mr. An Yongfu. On the one hand, we will contact the vegetable merchants in the south and ask them to purchase our mushrooms.

   On the one hand, Yongfu canned mushrooms will be made into cans. At that time, it can be sold all over the country, or even exported.

   Agaricus bisporus is rich in nutrients and is also very popular internationally. "Chen Jinshan laughed.

  Xiang Nan also nodded, "Yes, I have discussed this matter with the county magistrate Chen. The newly expanded cannery is to produce canned mushrooms. At that time, we will export together to earn foreign exchange."

  Hearing what Xiang Nan said, the villagers immediately gained courage.

  The reason why they are afraid of investing is mainly because they are afraid of risks. It hasn't been long since they got rich, and they don't have much ability to resist risks. Losing more than two thousand yuan at once is really reluctant to them.

   Now that Xiang Nan has his back, things will be much easier.

  …

  At present, various mushroom sheds have been set up in various villages under the jurisdiction of Yuquanying.

  Professor Ling, as an expert, went to various villages during the day to guide the cultivation of mushrooms. In the evening, at Yuquanying Primary School, I will teach the villagers the knowledge of mushroom cultivation, and I am very busy.

  Seeing him running so hard for the villagers, Xiang Nan admired him very much.

  Here is a big professor who can get paid when he attends classes, does experiments, and publishes papers at school. But I want to go deep into the mushroom shed and teach everyone how to grow mushrooms.

  You must know that mushrooms need to be fertilized, and the taste is very unpleasant. In the past few days, there was a pungent smell reverberating over Jintan Village and even Yuquanying, which made Xiang Nan dare not open the window. The smell in the mushroom shed is naturally stronger.

   Moreover, the temperature in the mushroom shed is more than 30 degrees, and it is stuffy and hot for people inside, which is really uncomfortable.

  Professor Ling is not afraid of being dirty, smelly, or tired. It is really hard work to go deep into each family to give guidance.

  After thinking about it, Xiang Nan donated a jeep and one million yuan of scientific research funds to Professor Ling in the name of Yongfu Cannery.

   "Professor Ling, you can use the car to drive, and you can use the money to spend." Xiang Nan said, "It's my kindness."

   "Mr. An, what do you mean?" Professor Ling didn't understand.

   "Professor Ling, don't get me wrong, I see you riding a bicycle every day to teach mushrooms in various villages. It is really hard work, so I will give you this bicycle for your transportation.

  This one million is for your research and daily needs. An expert like you should be teaching at a university and doing experiments in a laboratory, so there is no need to work so hard.

  But you still came to our remote village and went deep into the fields to teach everyone how to grow mushrooms. It is really great. So this million is given to you, whether you spend it yourself or invest in scientific research, it is just my heart. Xiang Nan explained, "There are no other conditions attached." "

  Professor Ling Yinong was also very moved when he heard what Xiang Nan said.

"Mr. An, I accept your wishes, but I can't take money or cars." Ling Yinong waved his hand and said, "I came to Yixia to help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich. That is my own choice. It is not for money, nor for money. Not for the name."

   "I know, so I want to give it to you more, and you need to accept it more." Xiang Nan smiled, "You should know the allusion of Zigong redeeming people and Zilu saving people.

  People who are willing to give like you should accept this gift. This will not only harm your character, but also inspire more people to devote themselves to the cause of poverty alleviation. "

  Xiang Nan has Ji Xiaolan's eloquence. When it comes to reasoning, he is probably the best in the world.

  Professor Ling couldn't agree with him, so he had no choice but to agree.

  To be honest, he needs a lot of money to study Juncao that releases wind and protects sand. Once Juncao is successfully developed, there will be no need to worry about the problem of wind and sand in the Gobi and deserts in Xiaxia and even the whole country.

   In the 1990s, universities had limited research funding. This one million can really be of great use.

   And having a car is much more convenient than riding a bike. He can go to more villages to teach planting and benefit more people.
