Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

A few stinky fish made a pot of soup, the atmosphere of our brigade is for you to mix it up. "

Zhao Dahai's face darkened, and he directly issued an ultimatum.

The secretary of the brigade was so serious that he even said the words of driving out the Dongjiangyan brigade. Chen Yongfu was really dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

Just at this time, the barefoot doctor in the village also rushed over, seeing the situation, he hurried forward to persuade him.

"Old Uncle Chen, didn't you understand what I said?"

"De Yong's injury is nothing serious, it's just that the wound is swollen now, and I'm afraid it will delay his peeing." Wang Jiagui stepped forward to explain with a helpless expression.

"I sent you to the hospital mainly because the hospital has anti-inflammatory injections. His injury will be healed after two days of anti-inflammatory injections. It doesn't cost much.

What do you say you came to Xu's house to make trouble?If you have the time, quickly get in the car and send it to our commune hospital for an injection.

If you delay any longer, don't look for me if something happens, I'm not responsible. "

Wang Jiagui is just a barefoot doctor. He can show you ordinary headaches and fever, and you can do it with some herbs. He really doesn't have any anti-inflammatory drugs, so he was sent to the hospital.

Nowadays, it doesn’t cost much to see a doctor. The commune hospital has cooperative medical care, and you can get well soon after a few injections.

So Wang Jiagui couldn't figure out what the Chen family was making a fuss about?Pure blackmail?

"Did you hear what Doctor Xiao Wang said clearly? Shouldn't you hurry up?" Zhao Dahai spoke again.

"Hurry up, go and inform the barn to set up the car and send Chen Deyong to the commune hospital. Let the brigade pay the money there first."

The secretary had already spoken, and a few strong young men came over there immediately, and Chen Deyong was about to leave when he lifted it up.

"Wait a minute, I haven't made it clear about today's matter, why are you going?" Xu Shiyan stopped him without thinking.

"Don't go to the commune hospital, just wait here and wait for the police assistant to come." Isn't it just a joke?Okay, let's see who can beat who today?

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhao Dahai was afraid that today's matter would be very difficult, so he hurriedly dragged Xu Shiyan aside.

"San'er, listen to Uncle's words, don't make a fuss about it today. Chen Deyong's wife is the niece of the commune secretary."

If it wasn't for this relationship, would Zhao Dahai let the Chen family jump up and down?

One sentence from Zhao Dahai reminded Xu Shiyan.

When Xu Shixian was in Daying, he offended the commune officials from top to bottom.

The Xu family had no choice but to move to a big house. As a result, last year, the deputy secretary of Daying Commune was transferred to Xigang Commune to become the top leader.

Starting from Chapter 42

With Zhao Dahai interceding, Xu Shiyan also felt that it is not appropriate to offend others at the moment.

The Xu family was able to gain a foothold in the big house, all relying on Zhao Dahai, so they had to give Zhao Dahai face.

"Chen Deyong, you heard clearly, today is for Uncle Zhao's face, I will forgive you this time, hurry up, don't be an eyesore here."

Hearing this, those young men hurriedly carried Chen Deyong into the car, and the Chen family also left in despair.

Chen Deyong was sent to the commune hospital, where he received injections for three consecutive days, the swelling subsided and the wound began to heal.

I don't know if there are any sequelae, but I dare to walk on the ground anyway.

The Chen family had two quarrels in a row, and they didn't make any money. Instead, they annoyed everyone, and they became more and more unpopular in the village.

The Chen family and the Xu family also became rivals because of these two incidents.

In the blink of an eye, it's the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it's time for the crops in the field to be recycled.

The Dongjiangyan Brigade has a total of about [-] mu of land, and it is very easy to recycle. The whole village, young and old, worked together to collect all the food in a few days.

Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, the sun should be dried, and then the beans and corn should be dried. The whole village, young and old, went to battle together, and they were very busy.

Spring planting and autumn harvest are always the busiest seasons in the crop yard.

For those who participate in rural areas, there is another more important task in autumn, which is to start selling ginseng.

The growth of garden ginseng is regular. From the seed to the production of ginseng, it is divided into two stages, a total of six years.

In the autumn of the first year, sow the opened ginseng seeds in the ginseng field.

After three years of growth, it can basically grow into a cigarette to the thickness of a finger, which is called ginseng.

The ginseng seeds are raised from the soil in autumn, and the ones with good size, good body, and no water rust scars are selected, and they are replanted in good soil, and they will grow for another three years before they can be used as ginseng.

After six years of growth, a ginseng tree can weigh one tael or more, and the largest one can weigh three or four taels.

It is mainly related to the size of the plant, soil fertility, and later management.

The medicinal value of ginseng is very high, but the resources of wild ginseng are very few. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, garden ginseng had been planted.

The place names of many places in Fusong are related to ginseng, and most of them are large ginseng gardens in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Now the ginseng gardens are all owned by the public, and almost all communes and brigades have their own ginseng gardens.

The ginseng land of the Dongjiangyan brigade is not too much. Even the ginseng seeds are added together, and the ginseng and seeds are only more than 2000 feet in six years. Those who made goods back then were only [-] feet.

The so-called zhang is a special term for ginseng. It generally refers to the area of ​​one zhang long and five chi wide. After conversion, it is about five points a few square meters.

Don't underestimate the five square meters of ginseng land. If it is done well, it can produce [-] to [-] catties of water ginseng.

Steamed and dried to make red ginseng, about four catties, based on the current price, it can be sold for three to four hundred yuan.

Three or four hundred in this year, that's a big deal. Otherwise, why are all the communes trying their best to grow ginseng?So worth the money.

Of course, in later generations, with the use of various fertilizers, the output of garden ginseng can reach [-] to [-] catties per foot.

It's just that the price of ginseng is affected by international influences and fluctuates greatly. When the price is low, ginseng farmers will also lose a lot.

As forest resources become more and more scarce, the price of ginseng has been rising all the way.

"Starting tomorrow, I will go up the mountain to participate. I will take a roll call. Anyone whose name is called will gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning and go to Qianchuan to participate."

On the afternoon of September 20th, when everyone was busy harvesting soybeans and putting them in the warehouse, the team leader Yu Shanhai shouted loudly.

Ginseng also has solar terms. If it is too early, the pulp of ginseng will not be enough, so the product will not be weighed, and it will not work when it is too late.

Generally speaking, it is the few days before the autumnal equinox, and the ginseng starts on the mountain.

"Xu Shiyan, Xu Shixiang, Yang Chunming, Zhao Jianguo, Zhao Jianshe..." the captain read out a long list.

To get ginseng is to dig out ginseng from the ground. This job requires not only strength but also patience.

Hands should be steady, frizzy work can easily scratch the ginseng rhizome underneath, destroying its value.

Xu Shiyan is famous for his carefulness and stability. He is the first one to be named in the work of planting and planting ginseng every year.

At six o'clock in the morning on September 21st, the forty young men who had been named gathered in front of the team department, took all kinds of starting tools and sacks, drove the carriage, and went straight to Qianchuan Shendi.

Qianchuan Shendi is about ten miles away from the village, and it is near the place where Xu Shiyan led people to release the mountain.

The mountain path was bumpy and the carriage was not moving fast. After half an hour, we finally arrived at Qianchuan Shendi.

Nowadays, there is no special plastic sheet for ginseng. Most of them are made of broken wood into boards to make ginseng sheds, and then covered with hay or felt paper for waterproofing.

So looking from a distance, you can see long black and gray dragons spreading along the mountain.

As soon as everyone arrived outside the garden, they heard the dogs inside barking repeatedly.

Old Li Tou, who was guarding the garden, came out of the house in the garden with a gun on his shoulder.

Seeing that it was a member of the team, he stepped forward and opened the door made of branches to let everyone in.

"Uncle Li, this is what my aunt asked me to bring for you. Cotton clothes and trousers, a change of clothes, as well as pancakes, sauce, pickles, and small fried fish."

When Xu Shiyan saw Old Li's head, he quickly handed over the rucksack on his back, which was the things that Mrs. Li specially packed last night.

"Yo, it's so heavy, my old lady, I don't know how much food she packed for me.

Xiao Xu, thank you, you see that I am on the mountain, and I don’t care about my home, you are the one who takes care of me. "

Old Li took the rucksack and said very politely.

Ginseng people go down the mountain all the year round, only when the ground is completely frozen in the twelfth lunar month.

After the Chinese New Year, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is out, I have to go up the mountain again, and I am away from home all year round.

Looking at ginseng on this mountain is not an easy job. If you want to prevent people from stealing it, you must also prevent wild animals from harming it.

When Li Tou was young, he was a well-known gunner. He lived by pointing at hunting and had excellent marksmanship.

Later, when I got older, my physical strength became weak, so I couldn't go hunting in the mountains.

It happened that the team got ginseng land, so he was sent to see ginseng. He earned a lot of work points, but he couldn't go home and couldn't take care of his family.

Old Mr. Li knew that Xu Shiyan had a good heart and took care of Mrs. Li, so he was very polite when he met Xu Shiyan.

"Look at what the uncle said, I'm living in your house now.

My aunt doesn't want my rent, and I can eat whatever I want from the vegetable garden. It should be me thanking my aunt and aunt. "Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard this.

"That's right, then we don't need to be polite to anyone."

Old Li was a very hearty person, and immediately patted Xu Shiyan on the shoulder and laughed.

"Would you like to go inside and drink some water? I just boiled a pot of water, and I happen to have some baomazi picked in spring, so I'll make a pot for you."

The Baomazi mentioned by Old Li should have a scientific name called Baodingxiang, which is a kind of plant in the mountains.

There are no tea trees in the Northeast, and the poor can't afford tea, so in spring, they pick up some leaves and flowers of the fragrant martinacea, and dry them for tea.

This thing nourishes the stomach, and the flowers of Baodingxiang are very fragrant, and it is very delicious to make tea.

"No, no, I'm going to start ginseng today. There's a lot of work in the field. Let's get busy first."

Xu Shiyan waved his hand, followed the crowd, and walked towards the ginseng field where the goods were shipped this year.

Chapter 43 Coups to increase production

"Divide into two teams. The front ones will evacuate the sheds by strings, while the ones in the back will cut the ginseng leaves with a sickle, and then start to pick up the ginseng."

Xu Shixiang was the captain of the sideline job, so of course he was the leader of the job, and when he came to Shendichi Chuan'er, he arranged how to do today's work.

Chichuaner is also a special term for ginseng, which means a large soil ridge five or six feet wide.

Due to the shape of the mountain, the terrain, and the direction of the pool, the length of the pool varies.Forty or fifty feet more, twenty or thirty feet less.

The surface of the ridge is called Chimianzi, and the ditch between two ridges is called Madao.

The surface of the pool should be more than one foot higher than the horse track to facilitate drainage.

Ginseng likes light but is afraid of light, likes water but is afraid of water, so every soil ridge must be covered with a ginseng shed.

Only by blocking most of the sun and rain can the growth of ginseng be guaranteed and it will not rot.

The current ginseng sheds are all single-sided slopes, and the length is slightly wider than the surface of the pool. The rainwater flows into the horse trail along the ginseng sheds.

Later, when the special plastic film for ginseng ground comes out, the ginseng shed will evolve into an arched shape, with water flowing on both sides, which is more convenient.

To get ginseng, the ginseng shed must be removed first. The ginseng shed is nailed up with wooden boards. The boards can be reused, so naturally they cannot be damaged at will.

In the past, if someone was poor and had no living materials after death, a coffin would be nailed with a mallet and board.

The mallet board refers to the wooden board covered with ginseng.

The big guys all came with tools, so a few people came forward with tools such as hammers and pliers.

First remove the grass or linoleum on it, then lift the boards and stack them aside.

Behind, someone took a sickle, cut off the ginseng stems about ten centimeters from the ground, and gathered them together from the beginning to the end.

After cutting the ginseng leaves, replace the sickle with a trident, and start digging the soil according to the traces of the remaining stalks.

When planting ginseng, trenches are dug and planted according to a certain row spacing, so to grow ginseng, only need to place three teeth according to the distance of each row, so as not to damage the ginseng in the ground.

Three-toothed rakes, unlike rakes, only have three finger-thick teeth. The teeth are about eight inches long, and the distance between each tooth is two or three inches. The lower end is pointed.

The three-toothed son dug into the ground, then lifted it up, and even the ginseng and soil were dug up.

Then I kicked and shook it lightly with my feet, and most of the soil was shaken off, and then moved back and put it behind me.

Follow the ginseng pickers to pick up the ginseng in the soil, shake off the remaining soil, and put it into a sack.

This job is easy to say, but it is actually very tiring.

The three teeth are not light, and when you swing your head, your shoulders are sore and painful.

Moreover, the person holding the three-tooth must be precise every time, so as not to hurt the ginseng in the soil, so the energy must be concentrated, and it will be very tired after a long time.
