Grow mushrooms in greenhouse in winter and prop up "get rich umbrella"

Just after the Spring Festival, the land of Yanzhao was cold, while Fang Hongjie and Zhang Xiujuan in Nanfang Village, Jizhou District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, were as warm as spring in the greenhouse, with bags of bacterial sticks arranged neatly, and the big-leaf Pleurotus ostreatus plants blooming like flowers, fresh and tender.

"you see, this can be taken off soon, and that one will have to wait for a few days. The main purpose of growing Pleurotus ostreatus is to master humidity and temperature, and then ventilation. " Speaking of growing Pleurotus ostreatus, Zhang Xiujuan, who loves to talk and laugh, opened the "chatterbox" and became an expert in mushroom cultivation.

Nanfang Village, Jizhou District, Hengshui City, located in the south-central part of Hebei Province, is a typical agricultural village. The villagers mainly grow cotton, wheat, corn and peanuts. After winter leisure, most of the villagers go out to work to increase their income.

"We don't like it when we go out to work and let people take care of it. In addition, now pure crops, the income is not high, we want to transform. " Zhang Xiujuan, who is busy in the shed, said.

It is said that Pleurotus ostreatus has the advantages of low investment, low risk, easy to learn, and does not delay farming. Pleurotus ostreatus is a pollution-free green food, which contains selenium, polysaccharides and other substances, which can enhance human immunity and has high nutritional value. Fang Hongjie, Zhang Xiujuan and his wife came up with the idea of Pleurotus ostreatus in greenhouse. After careful consideration, in September last year, the Fang Hongjie family discussed with two other companies and decided to invest 7800 yuan each to build a greenhouse and try to grow Pleurotus ostreatus.

Farmers who are down-to-earth and willing to work will do as soon as they say. In order to save money, they are self-reliant and work hard, from building greenhouses to installing bacteria, and do whatever they can do by themselves. "when we were in the welding shed, it was snowing and cold, which froze our hands." Zhang Xiujuan said.

The hardest part is to encounter technical problems. In order to make Pleurotus ostreatus grow better, they consulted experienced people over and over again, and bought many kinds of books on Pleurotus ostreatus, self-taught ingredients, inoculation, temperature control, humidity control and other cultivation techniques.

While groping and practicing, after their careful care, a shed of Pleurotus ostreatus had a bumper harvest that year. Since November last year, three crops have been collected, with a total of nearly 6500 jin. "since it is the first year of planting and the technology does not pass, the output this year will definitely be higher than that of last year." Husband Fang Hongjie said confidently.

The Pleurotus ostreatus they picked in the morning can appear in the nearby market in the morning, and the fresh Pleurotus ostreatus is favored by everyone. "generally speaking, the average price of Pleurotus ostreatus is 2.5 yuan per jin, especially this time a year ago, when it sold for more than five yuan per jin, the three companies not only recovered the cost, but also made a profit of several thousand yuan." Zhang Xiujuan said happily.

Zhang Xiujuan, who tasted the "sweetness," was full of confidence. when it comes to her plans for this year, she wants to invest another 10,000 yuan to expand her scale. As their mushroom business is getting better and better, more and more people in nearby villages take the initiative to ask for advice on planting techniques. Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm is running high, Zhang Xiujuan is very happy, because only when there are more people planting will a larger industry be formed, and the market will become bigger and bigger.
