Chapter 1229: Start growing fungi
The master and the disciple were eating with relish.
Zhou Suli, Li Lai, Xiaohua and other children also imitated the two and ate the boiled meat.
They choked as they ate, because they ate too fast. Several people started coughing, their faces turned red and their eyes were filled with tears.
“It’s so spicy!” Xiaohua kept yelling, sticking out her tongue.
Wu Ya hurriedly fed her water, complaining as she did so, "You are still young, why are you eating so fast? Eat slowly."
Xiao Hua finished drinking the water and said, "I want to eat more, Mom, you should eat too. My little brother will definitely like it too, so eat more."
Wu Ya exclaimed happily.
The whole family started eating, and they all exclaimed, "So this is spicy hotpot, I think it tastes better than clear soup!"
Li Lai said: "We can eat it every day from now on."
"Eat every day? Can your stomach take it? Can your stomach or your butt take it?" Zhou Mi asked back. Before, when the family ate chili peppers, everyone would scream when they pooped if they ate too much. This child ate a lot, so he screamed especially loudly.
Li Lai paused and recalled the unpleasant experience.
Zhou Guo said: "It's okay, you just weren't used to it before, but you'll get used to it after eating more. As long as it's not too spicy and you eat it moderately, there won't be any problem. Of course, as you said, you can't eat it every day."
Li said, "How can I eat it every day? When the weather gets hot, I will die of heat if I eat hot pot like this. It's okay to eat more in winter. It's convenient and warm."
It is really convenient. Just wash, cut and put all kinds of ingredients on the table. Throw them into the boiling soup, and when they are cooked, you can scoop them out and eat them. It tastes good too.
Everyone nodded, saying that it was indeed not appropriate to eat like this on a hot day.
A whole leg of yellow sheep was eaten up by everyone.
Zhou Guo lamented that when they were at the general's mansion, she and Xu Xiaobei ate almost half a leg of meat, but at home, with so many people, they could only eat two legs. It turned out that there were too many delicious foods prepared, and yellow mutton was not so popular.
Apart from her, the old man ate the most, and the two of them could eat mutton.
The meal took more than half an hour, and all the prepared dishes were eaten up one after another.
The old man asked while picking his teeth: "Why did you bring back the remaining sheep? If you take them back to the pasture and raise them for a few years, wouldn't you have a lot of yellow sheep meat to eat?"
If we raise yellow sheep in the village but there is no sheep farm, can the yellow sheep still be yellow sheep?
Everyone thought so too. Since this thing was so rare, it must be well preserved. If it was eaten up in half a year, wouldn’t that be a huge waste of money?
Does that mean if you want to eat it in the future, you have to send people all over the north to look for it?
Zhou Guo said, "Don't worry, I specially saved these for my family, just for you to eat. I took the rest to the pasture. There are hundreds of them. Even if we eat one a day, it's enough for our family."
In a year, if the sheep are raised well, these hundreds may be able to expand to thousands. At that time, won't we be able to eat whatever we want?
How could she not know this?
"Really?" The whole family was surprised. "How many hundreds of gazelles are there this time?"
The old man was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a moment. There were hundreds of gazelles. How long would it take to catch them?
Zhou Su asked: "Aren't yellow sheep all wild? Now they are domesticated, will they still taste the same?"
Zhou Mai said: "Even if the taste is worse, it is still a yellow sheep. As long as it tastes better than domestic ones, it is worth it."
Everyone nodded, that was true. How could animals raised at home compare to wild animals? They were delicacies from the mountains!
Zhou Guo had never eaten domestic yellow sheep, so he had no say in this matter. He just said, "I'll try it later. If the taste isn't as good, I'll just let it go."
The family sat on the kang and talked until late at night.
The next day, Zhou Guo began to wander around the village. She had been back for so many days and had not visited many households in the village yet. She went to their homes one by one, carrying gifts.
Early in the morning, everyone was flattered.
The first family is the Wang Fugui family. Over the years, their family has helped my family a lot. Even now, the two families get along well. Whenever my family has any problems, the Wang family will speak up for them.
"Hey, why are you here? Come in and sit down. Auntie will get you something delicious. I heard from your mother that you won't be at home for long and will leave again in a few days. I wanted to pack up and go to your house to see you, but I didn't expect you to come here."
Zhou Guo sat on the kang, and food was piled from all corners onto the small kang table: melon seeds, peanuts, snacks, fruits, dried meat, eggs...
There are so many things that the table can hardly accommodate them.
Zhou Guo grabbed some melon seeds and said with a smile, "Auntie, stop working. These things are enough for a meal for me. I just finished my meal and came here. I can't eat these."
"You're busy. You haven't come to our house for a long time. Come and eat more."
Zhou Guo agreed with a smile.
Before he had finished eating a handful of melon seeds, Wang Fugui came back from the mountain.
Zhou Guo was very happy to see that they also rented a piece of mountain last year. The mushroom strains were also very good. The Zhou family collected the fruits they grew and they made a lot of money this year.
Starting this year, every household in the village can grow mushrooms. Some people have their own hills and can plant more. Some people who don't have hills can only spend money, or plant a few acres of their own poor land, which can earn more than growing crops on it.
After all, this thing can be harvested several times.
Zhou Guo stayed at Wang's house for half an hour and then left.
Went to other homes in the village.
Now that the trade route to the south has been opened, the amount they have is simply not enough. If everyone starts to grow mushrooms, more goods can be shipped out.
A continuous supply of goods is beneficial to everyone.
Now the whole village is extremely grateful to the Zhou family. They didn't expect that the Zhou family would actually be willing to let them all grow mushrooms. Although they bought mushroom bags, as long as they grow them long enough, they will be able to make the mushroom bags themselves sooner or later.
Even now, I can earn a lot every year, enough to support my children's education.
In a few years, several nearby villages will also be able to grow mushrooms, but it will have to be done step by step.
She spent a whole day visiting the entire village, including the village head office.
It took another day to reach the place where Lao Lizheng and his group were outside the village.
Lao Li was getting worse and worse. He couldn't recognize people anymore. When he saw Zhou Guo coming, he didn't recognize him at first.
Zhou Guo sighed and held his breath. He had something unfinished in his heart and was reluctant to die.
When she left, the old village head's eyes became clearer. He stared at her intently, wanting to say something but unable to.
Zhou Guo thought for a moment and promised, "By the end of next year at the latest, Li Zheng, I will definitely do what I promised you."
After hearing this accurate statement, Lao Lizheng closed his eyes in satisfaction.
She was startled and quickly leaned over to take a look.
The headman's son said, "It's okay. He was tired and fell asleep."
Now I sleep much less than when I was awake.
Zhou Guo went out with a heavy heart. For them, the future was bright, but for the old village head, this old man who escaped from a small village in the south with his fellow villagers, there was no future and he could not see how good the future would be.
