Chapter 113 112. Grandpa Gou Gou

"Hey, Qiangwa, can you get the mushroom bag?"

We saw off two technicians, one smiling and one crying.

Luo Yihang went back to the room and called the tool man Qiang Wa.

He wants to grow mushrooms.

"What kind of mushroom buns?" Qiangwa asked.

“你记一下哈，要高温品种，25度那种。培养基料要玉米芯的，配方是玉米芯44.65%、大豆秸秆44.65%、麸皮5%、豆粕2%、尿素0.7%、石灰2%、轻质碳酸钙1%，对了只要平菇的……”

Technician Ma said that since this was Luo Yihang's first time growing crops, it would be best to plant only one variety, as it would be easier to manage, and Oyster mushrooms are relatively simpler to grow.

So I decided to only grow oyster mushrooms.

"Wait, wait, wait, what is that? High temperature, corn cobs, beans, what are beans?" After hearing a long list of percentages, Qiangwa was already dizzy.

"The mushroom bags used to grow mushrooms are the edible oyster mushrooms. A high temperature of 25 degrees means that mushrooms can grow above 25 degrees. Isn't this too hot? We have to use high temperatures. Corn cobs are the material used to grow mushrooms. This kind of material produces a lot of mushrooms. One kilogram of material can produce one kilogram and two taels of mushrooms. The ingredients should be 44.65% corn cobs and soybean straw..."

“Stop, stop, stop!” Qiangwa was about to faint again, so he interrupted, “Are you doing a chemistry experiment? Chemistry classes don’t have as much trouble as yours. Who would be so particular about selling fungus strains?”

"Hey, I know." Luo Yihang revealed his true purpose, "I'll send you a few contact information later. Please ask them if it's appropriate and help me get some. Two thousand kilograms will be enough."

"Your kid already has the address but you still ask me!" Qiangwa was angry.

"I thought you had a ready-made channel. The ones I have are far away, maybe you have one that's close by."

"Get lost!" Qiang Wa obviously didn't believe it, but still said, "Send me the contact information."

Qiangwa is really nice.

Luo Yihang hung up the phone and sent the requirements and contact information that he had prepared long ago.

Before the meal, Luo Yihang and Ma Zhitao did more than just fry mushrooms.

And did a lot of other things.

For example, I saw that there was a nice wing in Luo Yihang’s grandfather’s house, which was quite suitable to be converted into a mushroom house.

That wing was used to store miscellaneous things, so I vacated it to put a two-layer three-dimensional rack on it, and then pasted sealing strips on the windows and doors, so it could hold two thousand kilograms of mushroom bags.

Corncob base material was also introduced, which is the bunch of numbers I just mentioned.

Not to mention Qiangwa didn't remember it, Ma Zhitao didn't remember it either at that time, as I just checked the class notes.

This kind of base material is more expensive, but it produces more mushrooms.

Luo Yihang calculated that with two thousand kilograms of base material, one round can be produced every ten days, and three rounds can be produced, which means that a total of two thousand to two thousand four hundred kilograms of oyster mushrooms can be produced in one month.

According to the experiment just done.

Both of them had only eaten grilled and fried mushrooms and had never weighed the raw materials.

You will know after you make it a few times. Use 40 grams for grilled skewers and 300 grams for frying a plate.

Two thousand four hundred kilograms a month, an average of 1000 grilled skewers or 133 fried plates a day, should be enough for a barbecue restaurant.

As for expanding production?

Experts say that managing a mushroom house that can produce one or two thousand kilograms of mushrooms is not that difficult, but if the scale is expanded, the difficulty of management will increase exponentially.

Luo Yihang is a novice. Although expert Ma really wants to set up a large mushroom farm, he is actually a novice too. It is better for two novices to be cautious when working together.

Luo Yihang was particularly receptive to advice.

The last step is how to get the mushroom bags.

This...even horse experts don't know.

Expert Tajima is a newcomer, just graduated and very young.

Young people have an advantage, they can get people to join them.

What about senior brother, sister-in-law, master, uncle and uncle.

Expert Ma took the risk and made a phone call for his first time.

As a result, there were actually several contact details. And they were all high-end, directly providing the contact persons and phone numbers of several local edible fungi research institutes.

Edible Fungi Research Institute, high quality, strict standards, fresh stuff, small shipments, and expensive.

This channel cannot be missed.
-
Let Qiangwa contact the source of the fungus strains; he has plenty of experience in sourcing supplies.

Luo Yihang rode his scooter to the town to make some racks for the mushroom bags.

If you don't have a suitable one at home, you have to order one custom made.

When he was about to leave the village, Luo Yihang turned back because he saw seedlings in a field.

I didn’t recognize Miaomiao when she was still little, but now that she has grown up, Luo Yihang recognized her. Isn’t this Xiaomi?

Is there anyone in the village who grows this?

By the time we knew that Lao Jiang had stomach problems, the farming season had passed, it was too late to sow the seeds, and there were no millet seedlings for sale, so the millet planting was never done.

I was thinking of going out to find some seedlings to transplant, but I didn't expect there were some in the village.

"Uncle Gougou, is Uncle Gougou at home?" Luo Yihang recognized that the land belonged to Uncle Gougou's family and went straight to knock on the door.

After waiting for a long time, Luo Yihang thought that the person no longer wanted to leave.

The gate suddenly opened, and a vigorous old man walked out. When he saw Luo Yihang, he grinned and shouted in a loud voice: "Hang boy is here, come in and sit down."

"Uncle Gougou, you are doing well. You can eat several bowls of rice in one meal." Luo Yihang said with a smile and followed Uncle Gougou into the yard.

"Two big bowls of rice." Grandpa Gonggong happily stretched out two fingers. He especially liked to show off his appetite to other old men. No old man could compare to him.

It seems that people of their generation believed that being able to eat is a blessing.

"You have a really good appetite." Luo Yihang praised, trying to make the old man happy.

This little old man is Uncle Gou Gou. The older generation calls him Lao Gou Gou, and no one knows his real name.

Uncle Gougou is the oldest person in Ping'angou. Everyone guesses that he is over 90 years old.

Although Uncle Gou Gou is old, he is in good spirits and in good health.

Although his hair, beard, and even eyebrows were snow-white, his waist was bent.

But he didn’t lose any teeth, he could eat and sleep well, everything he ate tasted delicious, and he didn’t need a cane to walk.

I can also farm by myself, brag under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and play cards with Qi Ye and others for an entire afternoon without feeling tired.

His voice is quite loud.

The most special thing about him is his eyes, which are very bright and there is no trace of filth at all.

Grandpa Gonggong is a very nice person and he especially likes children.

I have liked Luo Yihang since his father was a child, and I have liked him since Luo Yihang was a child.

When children come to his house, he will give them delicious food and even take out his treasured puppets for the children to play with. If they break them, as long as they apologize sincerely, he will not get angry.

The puppets are all made by Grandpa Gonggong himself, and they are very beautiful.

Everyone in the village said that Grandpa Gou Gou regretted not getting married when he was young. Now he is old and has no children or grandchildren, so he can only envy other people's children.

Some people also said that Uncle Gou Gou had a family when he was young, but when the bandits were rampant, all his family members died, so he never thought of looking for another one.

In his room, which was always locked, there were tablets for his family members.

As for the specific reason, no one knows.

Because no one has ever seen what Grandpa Gonggong looked like when he was young.

According to Luo Yihang's grandfather, Grandpa Gou Gou was not a local either. He moved here in the 1960s. At that time, he was already in his forties and lived alone.

And at that time his name was Lao Gaogao.

Even the name written on his household registration book is Lao Gaogao. This is the name he filled in when he registered his household registration just after the liberation.

No one knows the past, and he never tells...
