Hello, 1983

Qingshan, look at these objects?

Uncle Lu followed Liu Qingshan out of the restaurant, got into the jeep, and opened the canvas pocket.

Inside were some jade articles wrapped in newspapers. Liu Qingshan opened it and took a look. It was also a Jade Pig Dragon.

Anyway, with his level of appreciation and ability, it looks the same as the real one, and he can't see any difference.

He also deliberately took off the one on his neck, and compared it, it was exactly the same.

If it weren't for the red rope tied to one of them, he would have been confused and couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.

Uncle, your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. It seems that I really need to call you Master Lu in the future!

Liu Qingshan praised in his mouth.

Uncle Lu shook his head: It's nothing to show off.

Hey, it also depends on who is the one who is cheating. Let's cheat the little devils with bad intentions, haha!

Liu Qingshan felt happy when he thought about it, and couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Lu was a little worried: There won't be any trouble, right?

You put your heart in your stomach. The little devil is greedy. When the time comes, he will have to swallow his teeth.

Liu Qingshan is not worried at all. Since this matter has been planned for so long, it is about to close the net, and of course he cannot let it go easily.

Liu Qingshan simply did not look at the remaining dozen or so pieces of jade. Anyway, with his eyesight, he looked at it in vain.

I drove to the market for a walk, and I happened to come across a pork seller who didn't need a meat ticket, which was two cents more expensive per pound.

By 1984, the pig market had gradually opened up.

Liu Qingshan immediately sold several kilograms of money, and specially sent two kilograms to Principal Xu's house, which was enough to satisfy their cravings.

Driving back to Jiapigou, Liu Qingshan in a good mood cooked several dishes, one of which was fried monkey legs with shredded pork.

Liu Qingshan also specially called Zhang Bizi to accompany Master Lu to drink two cups.

After eating,

Going to look at those wave trees again, Master Lu was also amazed:

This thing must be valuable. You have to keep Qingshan well. It may be a valuable asset in the future!

Liu Qingshan nodded in response, and by the way, he also talked about Zhang Bizi, to see if he could learn the craft from Master Lu.

This Master Lu was full of promises, but he only knew about antiques, and he was also a layman in the art of carving.

Fortunately, he knew an old professor from the Spring City Academy of Fine Arts, so he could introduce Zhang Zizi.

He also said that it would be better for Zhang Guizi to tinker with a piece of wood carving and try it as a stepping stone. An old professor of that level would not accept students easily.

Zhang Guizi was so excited that he was a rural child who had just graduated from primary school, how could he dare to think of such an opportunity?

The next day, Liu Qingshan carried a shovel and led Master Lu up the mountain. After a full day of work, he returned.

Master Lu still had business in Spring City, so he couldn't stay longer, so Liu Qingshan sent him and Zhang Zizi to the county and took the train back to Spring City.

It was the first time for Zhang Guizi to leave home, and he felt a little reluctant, but more excited.

He was holding a cloth bag in his arms, which contained a wave wood carving that he had figured out in the past two days. Liu Qingshan also looked at it, but didn't see any way out.

It seems that his artistic cells are like this.

Second brother, don't worry, when you get to Spring City, there will be Brother Dalong taking care of you, as well as Brother Fei and Gangzi.

Liu Qingshan did not forget to comfort Zhang Guizi a few words.

Zhang Guizi nodded heavily: Qingshan, if you don't learn your skills well, I won't come back!

Liu Qingshan waved goodbye to them. He knew that people like Zhang Guizi never lacked confidence and fighting spirit. What they lacked was only opportunity.

After returning to Jiapigou, Liu Qingshan no longer has to follow up the mountain every day, and only one group is reserved for picking wild vegetables. Now that the peak season has passed, it is a waste to have too many people.

Therefore, the matter of building a house at home was put on the agenda.

The raw materials have been shipped back long ago. If it wasn't for this period of time, I was busy picking wild vegetables and there were no idle people, I would have broken ground long ago.

This is the first brick and tile house built in Jiapigou, and it has attracted much attention from the villagers. Everyone is ready to see how it goes. If it is good, they are also ready to build a new house.

With some spare money in hand, everyone's minds are also alive, and farmers are most concerned about two things: one is the land, and the other is the house.

According to the old saying: Buying a house and buying land is always the right thing to do.

But the problem also appeared. If you want to build a mud-thatched house, everyone can join hands and build a brick house, then you can only stare blankly.

They really don't know how to do bricklaying and carpentry.

Take building brick walls as an example. If you are building against a brick wall, if it is crooked or falls down, it will be a joke, so you have to find a professional team.

Don't think about the few construction companies in the county, and the public units, all of them are like uncles, definitely please don't move.

Finally, the boss introduced a small engineering team from the commune: an old master surnamed Wu led his two sons to form a family engineering team. It is said that the craftsmanship is good.

Liu Qingshan took the uncle of the boss and ran to the commune, the two sides negotiated the price, and the construction officially started.

In May and June, the house can basically be built before the rainy season.

In addition to the three of the Wu family as bricklayers, Liu Qingshan also found a lot of small jobs, such as digging foundations and working with sand and mud, which also required a lot of people.

This project is not small, there are five large houses in one row, and there are three other chicken coops.

Building a house is really a busy person. It's either a lack of this or a lack of that. Even if there are a few less studs, Liu Qingshan has to run.

Keeping him busy, his mouth almost burst into flames.

As the saying goes, the busier it is, the more chaos it gets, and the village is busy together. The pre-ordered plastic greenhouse materials have also been shipped, Jiapigou, and a new round of greenhouse construction has begun.

Fortunately, this time it was replaced with a steel frame, and the plastic films did not need to be spliced ​​one by one, saving a lot of manpower.

The plastic film used is still transparent, only those sheds that are ready to cultivate black fungus are covered with a layer of black plastic gauze to block most of the sunlight.

When the shed is up, Professor Wang has already cultivated the bacteria, and the fungus segments are almost dry, and can be officially moved into the shed.

For the cooperatives in Jiapigou, this is the biggest project this year, so it is highly valued.

Even Liu Qingshan temporarily took a break from his busy house building business and devoted his energy to the cultivation of fungus.

Most of the people in the village also gathered to the courtyard.

The racks of fungus were smoked black. This was not because of the fire, but was deliberately smoked with hay under the guidance of Professor Wang.

The purpose of this is mainly to remove some pests hidden in the wood section, as well as the bad bacteria that come with it.

The preparations were all ready, and under the guidance of Professor Wang and the students, everyone began to inoculate the bacteria.

First, use an electric drill to drill holes in the wood section with appropriate horizontal and vertical spacing, basically in the shape of a plum blossom pile.

Then put the prepared fungus block into the hole, plug the hole with a corn pulp, and the fungus strain in a hole is finished.

The corncob is also soaked in water beforehand, and it is stuffed tightly.

This work will be mainly done by women in the village in the future. First, the labor intensity is not high, and second, women are more careful, so this work is suitable.

A group of big men were watching, and of course they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Ganzi also took the time to come over to watch the excitement. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was also stuffing bacteria into the holes, he warned with concern:

Daughter-in-law, the plug of the corncob must be tightly plugged.

Don't worry, it's tightly packed, and there's no crack at all.

Wang Cuihua agreed in her mouth, and her hands were quite quick.

Da Zhangluo next to him giggled: You can rest assured, Pole, your daughter-in-law has a solid foundation and will definitely not get lost.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the story of Zhang Ganzi getting lost on his wedding night is estimated to be passed down from generation to generation in Jiapigou.

Zhang Pole is not easy to mess with, if he picks up a corncob, he will put it on Da Zhang Luo too.

Okay, don't bullshit here, build a greenhouse!

Seeing this, Captain Zhang roared, and all the idlers went to work.

After a fungus segment is planted with bacteria, it is moved into the greenhouse and built into rows of herringbone wooden frames, waiting for the bacteria to grow slowly.

The rest is management in the later stage, controlling temperature and humidity, and ventilating regularly, which are also very important.

These jobs are actually not difficult. The elderly and children in the village can learn it. The old men and the old ladies sit on the small benches and can still stuff the fungus into the fungus.

After working hard for a few days, the newly built greenhouses were all moved into the fungus section, and this work was temporarily over.

It's just that there are a lot of wood segments that are cut down, and there is still a part left at the end.

Of course, these should not be wasted. They were also inserted into the bacteria, and then directly transported to the mountain. Two pieces of miscellaneous forest were selected and built directly into one.

It is estimated that the quality of the fungus generated in this pure natural environment is basically the same as that of the wild ones.

After learning the whole process, the two villagers sent by Hai Dagui went back in a hurry.

They also took away two of Professor Wang's students, cultured the bacteria and guided them throughout the process.

For the remaining students, Professor Wang is going to take them back to school. After all, it's been almost two months since they came out.

Grandpa Wang, you can't leave. After the research on black fungus, the new project should be started. This time, let's cultivate Hericium erinaceus artificially.

Liu Qingshan had already planned it, how could he let him go easily?

Okay, you little mountain, we have become your long-term workers in Jiapigou, right?

Professor Wang is really used to living here, and he happily accepts this task.

Wei Tiezhu and several other students couldn't help but feel refreshed: If the Hericium erinaceus project is completed again, then their level and ability will continue to improve, and the future will be bright.

Liu Qingshan has also tasted the artificially cultivated Hericium erinaceus several times. How to describe it: It must be Hericium erinaceus anyway, and it cannot be said that it is another species.

But it tastes like chewing wax, and there is no umami of wild Hericium at all.

If you leave the unique environment of nature, you will also lose your spirituality. Liu Qingshan really disdains to plant such things.

Unfortunately, the number of wild Hericium erinaceus is too rare to form a scale, and the benefits are very limited.

His vision is: artificial inoculation, natural growth in the wild environment.

In fact, it is to artificially implant bacteria on suitable trees in the forest, and then let the Hericium erinaceus grow completely in the wild state.

This is a bit more difficult and more challenging. Professor Wang took his students and devoted himself to this new research project.

In his busy schedule, Liu Qingshan finally received a call from the county.

A foreign businessman, Masaichi Fujita, led a delegation to Bishui County and named him to Doubao Mountain where Jiapigou was located.

Putting down the phone, Liu Qingshan also clenched his fist and waved it vigorously: I'm finally here, waiting for you for a long time!
