Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

As for those who picked up ginseng later, it was not easy. They had to kneel in the ground and sort out the ginseng from the soil bit by bit.

One planed and the other picked up, and the two made a frame.

Raising ginseng is a delicate job, and it should not be too rough, so it is not fast.

A pair of racks can be up to ten feet a day at most, and if it is too fast, it is easy to scratch the ginseng, or drop the ginseng and bury it in the soil.

Xu Shiyan has been growing ginseng all his life, so he is very familiar with it.

The three-toothed tool is absolutely handy in his hands, every time he digs out two or three ginseng plants, it won't hurt the ginseng at all.

It was Zhao Jianshe, the second son of the Zhao family, who followed to pick up ginseng.

The two cooperated very well, digging out all the ginseng in the soil and picking it up, not a single ginseng whisker was left behind.

"Third brother, this mallet is pretty good this year. How big do you think it is? I think the one just now can be worth three taels."

Zhao Jianshe looked at Bai Shengsheng's chubby ginseng in his hand and was very happy.

"Well, this year's production should be pretty good.

In fact, our team is still not good enough to serve the mallet. If you do it well, it's like playing with a stick. "

Xu Shiyan swung his three-toothed tooth, chatting with Zhao Jianshe while working.

"Ah? 25 six catties? Can't you?

Last year, our team's ginseng land production was pretty good, and at the end of the calculation, it was only seventeen catties per ten feet.

More than twenty catties, so can't they all be two or three two? "

Zhao Jianshe is young and has never heard that a foot of ginseng can grow more than [-] catties, so his eyes widened.

Xu Shiyan smiled, "Did you know that sticks can actually be used for fat?

In summer, bean cakes are used to fertilize, and when planting sticks in autumn, they are used as base fertilizer. The yield of sticks can be increased a lot, and the production is also under pressure. "Xu Shiyan remembered his experience of growing ginseng in his previous life.

"Use base fertilizer when planting sticks, don't need top-dressing in the year of new planting, and use bean cake water for top-dressing in the summer of the year of freezing.

In the third year of making goods, one foot can increase production by at least six or seven catties. "

Ginseng is planted in late autumn every year. It is called new planting in the new year, freezing in the second year, and making goods in the third year.

Ginseng does not like common manure. If pig manure and chicken manure and other fertilizers are applied to the ginseng field, it will be burned to death directly.

The only fertilizers that can be applied to ginseng are bean cakes and deer dung.It is difficult to get a lot of deer dung, and there may be a way to do it with bean cakes.

The bean cake is crushed and fermented with water. Whether it is fermented bean cake powder or bean cake water, it can be used to fertilize ginseng, which can increase production and income.

Zhao Jianshe was dumbfounded. He had never heard that ginseng could be fertilized before. They were all planted in the ground and let it grow by itself.

"Third brother, is it true or not? Then if our team also top-dresses the sticks, won't the production be higher?"

"Are you thinking well? Where can we get so many bean cakes?" Xu Shiyan shook his head.

Nowadays, most people still can’t get enough to eat. Those soybeans in the team don’t know if they are enough to turn in the tasks. How can there be bean cakes for top dressing?

When Zhao Jianshe heard this, his face was full of frustration, "Then aren't you talking for nothing?"

I thought there was really a way to increase the production of sticks, but it was useless to make trouble for a long time.

"There is also a way, the key is that your father doesn't know whether to listen or not." Xu Shiyan smiled and dug out a few ginseng trees, and gave them back.

"Have you seen the ginseng land that has been planted this year? It's five hundred feet long, so it's about ten mu, right?

In the spring of next year, all soybeans will be planted. This is not arable land, but will be controlled by our village.At that time, can't bean cakes be used for top dressing? "

As long as you are willing to use your brain to think, there will always be a way, it depends on whether Zhao Dahai dares or not.

The growing conditions of ginseng are harsh, and the old woodland must be used, and the soil must be turned over after cutting down the trees for planting.It can be said that the forest is very destructive.

However, for the sake of economic development, ginseng has to be planted again, so what is adopted at present is to cut down the forest to plant ginseng, and return the ginseng to the forest after the ginseng.

The land where ginseng has been planted is exhausted. In the second year after ginseng is planted, saplings will be planted in the ground. After many years, it will grow into a forest.

The newly planted saplings are very small and do not actually affect the growth of the farmer, so we can make a fuss about it.

In Xu Shiyan's previous life, he did this in many places.

The ginseng soil after ginseng is contracted out to plant a crop of soybeans or potatoes.

The soil where ginseng has been planted is greatly reduced in fertility, and other crops cannot be grown, but soybeans or potatoes grow very well.

Especially potatoes, which grow much larger than those in the vegetable garden, have a particularly high yield.

Chapter 44 The Joy of the Harvest

Zhao Jianshe was dumbfounded when he heard that, "Third brother, you are all the same person, why do you think you have such a brain? Why is it so easy to use?"

"I'll tell my father later, this method is absolutely feasible."

After the team started participating every year, the saplings were planted on the exhausted soil, and they were ignored. What a waste.

If this can be used, even if it is only one year, ten acres of land can produce a thousand or eight hundred catties of soybeans, at least it is enough for top dressing.

It doesn't take much for the stick to catch up with the fat, and it doesn't take much to increase the production of three or four catties of fresh ginseng by one foot, that's tens of dollars, which is suitable for any calculation.

The more Zhao Jianshe thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, but he was so excited that he kept praising Xu Shiyan for being smart.

Xu Shiyan just smiled, but the three-toothed stick in his hand didn't stop, and the two of them planed a ginseng while talking and laughing.

During the lunch break, Mr. Li helped to heat up everyone's meals, and the big guys ate around the small room of Kansan. After eating, they took a break and continued to work.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I packed up the tools, sealed the sack, carried it out of the ginseng field, loaded it into a carriage and transported it back to the village.

On the side of the village, Zhao Dahai and his people were waiting at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the carriage coming back, they immediately went up to meet it.

"How is it? Is this year's long mallet good?"

What I look forward to most throughout the year is participation, which is related to the income of the entire children's brigade.

No matter how many kinds of corn and soybeans you eat, you can't exchange them for a few dollars, but ginseng is different, it is simply too valuable.

The annual ginseng is the top priority in the village.

"It's pretty good, the output is not low, the figure is not bad, it doesn't grow rust, and I don't think it's too bad." Xu Shixiang jumped off the carriage and replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Dahai and the others cheered up, waved their hands, and motioned for the young labor behind him to come and carry the sack.

"Hurry up, quickly unload the hammer and send it to the other side of the warehouse. It's still the old rule, first use the scale, be careful, and keep the accounts."

"Arrange someone to patrol and watch over the warehouse tonight.

Inform the young daughter-in-law in the village that she will come to work in the house tomorrow. "Zhao Dahai quickly assigned the task.

The so-called goods house is a courtyard next to the village head, which is a small factory for people to participate in.

When ginseng comes back from the ground, it should be cleaned as soon as possible.

Sun-dried ginseng is directly dried after scrubbing, or dried in a drying room.Red ginseng should be steamed in a cage, and then dried or dried after steaming.

As a precious medicinal material, ginseng is expensive, and most of it is exported except for a small part kept in major domestic pharmaceutical factories.

As an important product for export and foreign exchange earning, the policy of unified purchase and sales is also implemented, and the special product bureaus and ginseng companies in various counties and cities are responsible for the purchase.

The ginseng from various communes and brigades will be sent to the county for grading and sale after the ginseng is processed and dried.

After deducting a part of the task amount, the rest is owned by each commune and brigade, which has become the most important source of income for the local area.

Due to environmental and population constraints, Dongjiangyan Brigade has a small ginseng planting area. Even so, it earns more money than many communes and brigades.

That's why Zhao Dahai attaches great importance to the ginseng industry. He didn't follow him to the mountain today, but arranged the next processing at home.

When the ginseng is transported to the goods house, it is first weighed, then poured out a few sacks, and soaked directly into the big vat.

Even if the things growing in the soil are shaken clean, there is still a lot of soil, so they are soaked in advance to make it easier to scrub.

After all the ginseng has passed the scale, the account is recorded, the small courtyard is locked, and the brigade of militiamen are holding guns and guarding outside the courtyard.

Except for the militiamen patrolling at night, no one is allowed to approach the courtyard.

These have nothing to do with Xu Shiyan. He is only responsible for going up the mountain to participate in the ginseng. When he arrives in the village, someone will take over and go home with the tools.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Su Anying busy in the kitchen. She was still slim and flexible despite being pregnant for two months.

Seeing Xu Shiyan enter the door, Su Anying smiled. "The meal will be ready soon, you go wash your hands first, drink some water and rest."

While talking, he picked up the kettle from the stove, poured it into the washbasin, and then turned around to scoop up cold water.

Xu Shiyan took two quick steps, and took the ladle from his wife.

"I can do these by myself, I have long hands, and I'm not a baby, how can I let you serve everything?

You are pregnant with a child, try to rest as much as possible. "My daughter-in-law is considerate and capable, and knows how to take care of others, but Xu Shiyan doesn't want her to be too tired.

"Look at what you said, it's just a matter of scooping up a ladle of water, can it still tire me out?" Su Anying's eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile.

"I'm not made of mud and paper, I'm not that delicate.

The old people have said that you need to be more active when you are pregnant, and it is easier to give birth. "

Xu Shiyan poured a ladle of water into the basin, picked up the water to wash his face, and when he looked up, Su Anying had already handed him a towel.

"It's the late stage of pregnancy, move around more, you've just been pregnant, so you still have to be careful."

Xu Shiyan took the towel to dry his face, and told his wife worriedly.

"Usually I'm busy and I'm not at home. Take care of yourself and don't do heavy work. Keep me back for carrying water and chopping firewood."

This little daughter-in-law of his family is too capable and strong, Xu Shiyan is really worried.

So every morning, he filled the water tank at home with water, chopped a lot of firewood outside, and reminded him repeatedly before going out.

Su Anying knew that her husband was doing it for her own good, so she didn't argue, she just smiled and opened the lid of the pot.

The pot is stewed with beans and potatoes, and there are pancakes on the side of the pot. Looking at the oily appearance of the beans, you can tell that it is stewed with Heixiazi oil.

The last time I brought back two cans of Heixiazi oil from the mountain, I left one bottle for the Xu family.

Xu Shiyan told his daughter-in-law, don't cherish it, just use it when you need it.

Su Anying promised, but she seldom used it on weekdays, probably because she felt sorry for Xu Shiyan who was tired from working in the mountains, so she made some stewed beans.

Stewed potatoes with oily beans, hot pancakes, a few scallions, and a plate of sauce are a very good dinner.

The young couple live their lives without so many rules, chatting while eating.

"By the way, Aunt Zhao came over today and asked me to work in the shop tomorrow." Su Anying suddenly remembered this while eating.

"What are the jobs in the house? I should be able to do it?" Daying has not grown ginseng much these years, and Su Anying doesn't know much about it.

"It is to clean the sticks, put them in a cage, and then steam them in a pan.

Pick it up after steaming and let it cool down, put it on a fork and let it dry outside.When it is cloudy, send it to the drying room. "

Xu Shiyan is the clearest about this set of procedures, so he has to explain it to Su Anying.

"If you really can't stay at home, then go to work. The work in the house is not tiring, and the work points are high."

Xu Shiyan knew that his daughter-in-law was a restless person, and she couldn't stand letting her stay at home all day with nothing to do, so she didn't restrict Su Anying.

Sure enough, Su Anying became happy when she heard that she could go to work, and the work points were still high.

"Then I'll go to work tomorrow, don't worry, I won't delay your meal."

Chapter 45 Passing on Experience

Before dinner was over, Zhao Dahai hurried over.

"San'er, I heard from our family construction that you have a way to increase the production of sticks?" Zhao Dahai yelled as soon as he entered the door.

No need to guess, it must be Zhao Jianshe who went home and taught his father what Xu Shiyan said on the mountain.

Who is Zhao Dahai?Being able to be the secretary of the brigade for these years is not for nothing.

As soon as I heard Zhao Jianshe's words, I knew it was feasible.

But Zhao Jianshe didn't understand what was going on, so Zhao Dahai hurried over without even eating.

"Uncle, have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together. Yingzi, bring some bowls and chopsticks for our uncle." Xu Shiyan smiled and beckoned Zhao Dahai to sit down.

How could Zhao Dahai be in the mood to eat?Now he just wants to know about the ginseng fertilization.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't be so busy. I came over after dinner at home. San'er, tell me quickly, how is this thing fixed?"
