What is Mushroom Town? Where is Mushroom Town? I know nothing about it. My father has only a vague memory. That was the last time I walked to see it. My mother thinks Mushroom Town should be full of mushrooms. Zhang Xiaohua, my aunt's second son, grows mushrooms there. Based on this clue, I set off. Under the guidance of my father, I started from Limin Community and headed for the expressway. There is a traffic light where I didn't arrive at the gas station. Turn left and enter. There is a sign of Mushroom Town at the intersection. However, after a few minutes' drive, I still couldn't see Mushroom Town, and the road sign didn't clearly tell us whether it was near Mushroom Town, so I walked stubbornly. My parents can't remember what it was like before. It seems that the emergence of a two-way six-lane mainland with a barrier in the middle and camphor trees planted on both sides has disrupted all the original memories, or they have never been to these places, so they have no memory of them. In the past, their life radius was very narrow, but now the urban construction is very wide and fast, and the pace of building blocks to people has fallen far behind.
One side of the road is low mountains, and the other side is low-lying, with cultivated land and wasteland. We want to know whether this road was cut down from the mountain or built on cultivated land. My parents were surprised to agree that it must be formed by occupying cultivated land, and imagined that those wasteland were the wages paid by the government to workers. As native farmers, they are full of reverence for the land, and have always scoffed at the waste of cultivated land, so much so that they regard the pig farm as the seat of the government, because the government is the group of pigs that waste land. There are scattered houses, people who moved to these places because of the transformation of urban shanties, and people who used to live here. The house is relatively simple, and it is said that there is no formalities. Strictly speaking, they are illegal buildings. The government now controls the use of land very strictly. Because these illegally built houses may be demolished, the builders are reluctant to increase their investment. Most of the reasons why they were built in these places are that their former cultivated land used to be here. As a result, the construction of the whole city is in a dilemma. People who were forced to move because of the transformation of urban shanty towns have been compensated, and the government's resettlement houses have not been put in place. They may not be used to the lifestyle of renting a house. After all, the source of income is unstable, so I chose to build a house on the previous land. When the residential building or comprehensive law enforcement department is ready to demolish it, the prophet will open the roof first. When the law enforcement brigade left and they built it again, the houses of the illegal builders who didn't get the news were smashed to pieces. After the law enforcement brigade left, they are still rebuilding on the old site, just hoping that they can respond earlier when the law enforcement brigade comes next time. This cycle continues.
As the car went on, a residential area appeared in front of us. So this is Mushroom Town, and my parents are trapped. What's the difference from what I expected? Mushroom Town is a residential area. Was it built to help farmers get rid of poverty? Where are the mushrooms? They are both disappointed and curious. Because Mushroom Town is just a community, it is meaningless to go in and stroll around, which is no different from Limin Community, so we continue to walk along the avenue. Mushroom town should be more than that. We're still looking for mushrooms.
Finally, we saw two buildings that read "Edible Mushroom R&D Center". Yes, since there is an R&D center, there must be edible fungi. We drove into the open space of the R&D center and found that the second phase of the center had started in February this year, with an estimated investment of more than 40 million yuan. The two buildings that have been built should be the first phase. There is a car parked downstairs, and there is no door. Is it because today is Sunday, everyone?
Now that we have seen the R&D center, the mushroom planting base should be not far away. After walking less than 20 meters from the R&D center, we will see a fork in the road, and then turn in for a few hundred meters. There is a place similar to Little Square, where a few stones are piled up like mushrooms in the middle, but the square is full of rubble, so it should be a long time since anyone came to clean it. I stopped at the edge of Little Square and saw a public toilet nearby. Dad led his mother to the toilet. My mother came out and said that the toilet was too dirty and blocked, which confirmed the judgment just now. On both sides of the square are edible fungi planting bases, which are divided into small squares with the same size. Each small square is a steel frame structure, about15 * 20m. Covered with a piece of black nylon woven cloth, it should be used for shading, and lined with four steel frames similar to vegetable greenhouses, which are illuminated with plastic film. There are five shelves for mushroom sticks in the greenhouse, which are densely covered with mushroom sticks. There is a sprinkler in the shed.
Seeing this, my mother talked about growing mushrooms in our family. At that time, Wu Sanmao provided a mushroom stick for one yuan, and our family bought a thousand. Cultivated mushrooms are called frozen mushrooms, also known as oyster mushrooms. What is irritating is that the price of Pleurotus ostreatus is two yuan, five yuan and three yuan before it grows. Pleurotus ostreatus has grown up, and its price has dropped, sometimes even 60 cents a catty, but it still makes money on the whole. Break these fungus sticks and scatter them in the ground, and you still reap a crop, but your neighbor's uncle Ren's family didn't make any money. One is poor management, and the other is that they didn't harvest these fungus sticks in the soil again like them.
There are many small squares in the whole planting base that are empty. It must be that the investment promotion is not done well. When I left, my mother said she would buy some back. Before we came to a power grid, we found an old man who contracted the power grid. They grow mushrooms. From him, we learned some operational details of mushroom cultivation. These grids, greenhouses and other infrastructure were repaired by the National Poverty Alleviation Fund. After they were repaired, the government introduced some suppliers of fungus sticks from other places through attracting investment, so that they could provide fungus sticks to contracted farmers. After the fungus seeds are produced, they are responsible for purchasing. That's a good idea. Farmers are only responsible for production. Since the fungus sticks are provided by these enterprises, the quality should be controllable, so it is logical that they are responsible for selling the fungus produced by farmers. But the problem is, the old man who contracted several grids has calculated an account with us. A mushroom stick 3.6 yuan, the purchase price of 3.5 yuan. The life cycle of a mushroom stick is only half a year. If two kilograms of mushroom seeds are not produced within half a year, including labor costs, water and electricity, etc. They will lose money. A grid can hold about 3500 mushroom sticks. Now these fungus sticks are provided by some foreign enterprises. Because the contractor's actual data is not up to standard, the relevant government departments are negotiating with these foreign companies to solve it.
The whole project should be a poverty alleviation project. The initial intention of the government to launch this project should be to solve the livelihood problem of the relocated households in Mushroom Town in the process of poverty alleviation. As for the development of the industry, it may all be another story, so we invested in infrastructure such as power grid, greenhouse and spraying. And then introduce mushroom stick enterprises, which want to make a profit, so they sell mushroom sticks to contractors, and then buy the output to make dried mushrooms (assuming it is mushroom strains) and sell them to other places. It is said that 40 yuan a catty, five kilograms of raw mushrooms can produce a catty of dried mushrooms. In this way, there should be two profits for mushroom stick manufacturers, one selling mushroom sticks and the other selling dried mushrooms, which should be profitable. Farmer contractors need to spend money to buy mushroom sticks and invite people to collect mushrooms. If a mushroom stick can produce two kilograms of raw mushrooms, which is the contractor's break-even point, then the cost of water and electricity and hiring people should be around 10 thousand yuan (one grid for half a year) In this way, if farmers want to make money, I'm afraid they need to carefully calculate the contract number under the condition of fixed labor cost, otherwise the profit may be affected by the fluctuation of the quality of mushroom sticks.
From the old population who contracted the power grid, I learned his guess that he wanted to screen out high-yield fungus sticks through grouping and comparison, and then get rid of these fungus stick manufacturers through self-replication. This is just a guess, but if it comes to the game between the government and enterprises, if the goal is to crowd out each other, I am afraid it will not be worth the candle. The correct approach should be to solve the problem of increasing the contractor's income through negotiation and taxation on the basis of improving the profits of enterprises, so as to solve the problem of cost recovery of previous infrastructure investment.
