Chapter 72: Visiting the garden brings good harvest (please recommend the harvest)

For people living in forest areas, such activities as ginseng are basically common.When the villagers in Xinmintun learned that Mushanhe was preparing to start ginseng production, they were also curious about how much ginseng could be produced from the ginseng land contracted by Mushanhe.

As for the price of garden ginseng this year, it is a little more expensive than last year.Many people who took the risk to contract ginseng land have reportedly made a fortune starting from this year.The ginseng field in Mushanhe, which is more than a hundred feet long, can produce about two thousand kilograms of ginseng.

At present, the price of ginseng per kilogram is nearly 40 yuan. If two thousand kilograms of ginseng can be produced, it will be an income of nearly 8 yuan.In this day and age, households worth [-] yuan are rare, let alone eight households worth [-] yuan.

Although this is the income accumulated over six years, for ordinary rural families, it is difficult to find a few with an annual income of more than [-] yuan.Perhaps because of this, people in forest areas began to actively plant ginseng.

In the eyes of these growers, as long as they work hard for six years, their families can become rich by selling ginseng.But they never thought that if the market for garden ginseng plummeted after six years, six years of hard work would be in vain, and they might become impoverished!

When Mu Xingfu led two carriages and arrived at the ginseng garden in Mushanhe early in the morning, he saw a few strangers suddenly appearing. He stepped forward in time and said, "Shanzi, who are these?"

"My friends knew that I was going to participate today and came here to help. They know Uncle Erwang. Brother Xuan, this is my Uncle Erwang's father and the old village chief of our village."

"Chief Kimura, hello!"

Seeing Sun Xuan, Zhou Hongjie, and Li Yi all coming forward to say hello politely, Mu Xingfu also asked curiously: "Have you ever been a soldier?"

"Yeah! Like Squad Leader Erwang, we have all been soldiers before. It's just that Squad Leader Erwang became a soldier earlier than us."

"Oh, that's it! Okay, then it's all down to you."

As Mu Shanhe's trusted elder, Mu Xingfu is naturally qualified to say such things.The other villagers who were called to help seemed a little surprised when they saw the three strangers Sun Xuan.

But when they saw Mu Shanhe who started passing cigarettes and pouring water, they also smiled and said: "Shan Zi, you are finally liberated!"

"Yes! If you sell the ginseng today, it will be easy from now on."

"So, do you still plan to plant ginseng next year?"

"I won't plant it anymore! There are so many people planting it now. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it at a high price in the future, so I'd better find something else to do."

"That's right! It's so hard to grow ginseng. Once all these ginseng are sold, this guy won't be afraid of running out of money."

Listening to the villagers joking and joking, Mu Shanhe always kept a smile on his face, and Mu Xingfu also said in time: "Okay, it's not too early, let's start working in the fields, pick up the ginseng early, and let's finish it early." go home."

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Under the guidance of Mu Xingfu, everyone began to enter the ginseng garden of Mu Shanhe.Nowadays, most of the ginseng poles in the ginseng garden have withered and turned yellow.The villagers who helped pick up the ginseng did not need to tell them to start cutting off the ginseng stalks on the ridges.

When the villagers started to dig out the ginseng, they saw the ginseng dug out one after another and wiped off the excess black soil. Mu Xingfu said with emotion: "Shanzi, your ginseng is great! Such a good ginseng, I will keep it for the rest of my life." I haven’t seen him a few times.”

"Yes! Village chief, this ginseng weighs less than half a catty, right?"

"Absolutely! Shanzi, if many of the ginseng in your garden are of this kind of quality, you can ask for a high price from the purchasing station. I heard from Chengzi that the price of red ginseng made from fresh ginseng of good quality is about the same. It can be much more expensive!”

Regarding Mu Xingfu's suggestion, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "Well, when I get to the forest farm to join the factory, I will ask Uncle Cheng to help me talk. If I can sell it for a little more money, I will definitely not refuse such a good thing. "

The villagers who came to help pick out the ginseng saw that most of the garden ginseng dug out were more than three taels, and from time to time you could find a few ginseng as small as half a catty.They had never seen such good-looking garden ginseng before.

<divclass="contentadv">Even during the process of growing ginseng, villagers asked from time to time how the Mushan River was grown.Mu Shanhe did not hide anything, directly stating that top dressing would be done every year.The fertilizer used is a mixture of bean cake and deer dung.

Top dressing once a year may be one of the reasons why garden ginseng tastes so good.But Mu Shanhe naturally couldn't tell him the real reason.This little trick to increase yields will also be popularized in forest areas in the future.

Many deer farms even sell deer dung as fertilizer.And the little tips for increasing yield mentioned by Mu Shanhe can indeed increase the yield of garden ginseng.However, this top dressing also requires a certain amount of technical content.

After listening to Mu Shanhe's story, a villager soon said, "Shanzi, you have this technology, so why don't you continue growing ginseng?"

"Sigh, growing ginseng is very hard, and it will take several years to harvest next year. I heard from Uncle Cheng before that all the ginseng land cultivated by the forest farm in the past two years has been contracted out at a high price, and the labor costs Prices of ginseng and ginseng seeds are rising.

But what worries me the most is that now not only our county is crazy about planting ginseng, but people in other neighboring counties and even Heihe have begun to plant ginseng on a large scale.There is no need to worry about selling the ginseng now, but if there are too many ginseng in the future, who will the extra ginseng be sold to? "

"As long as the ginseng is good, you shouldn't have to worry about selling it, right?"

"I'm just afraid that there will be too much output and the processing plants won't be able to harvest it all. Who will sell the remaining ginseng to? Anyway, I won't plant it anymore!"

Taking this opportunity, Mu Shanhe also expressed his worries.As for whether the villagers will listen, that is their own business.It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, but he did what he had to do anyway, and the rest can only be left to fate.

As the ridges of ginseng fields were turned up, countless ginsengs buried in the soil were dug up, and then the remaining black soil on them was shaken off, and then thrown into prepared plastic bags.Mu Shanhe also felt quite happy when he saw the bags of picked garden ginseng.

But when villagers were sorting garden ginseng, Mu Shanhe deliberately picked out those weighing more than half a catty.He does not plan to sell these high-quality garden ginseng to ginseng factories, but intends to use them to brew wine or use them as medicinal ingredients.

Even after picking out the largest ones, the villagers responsible for sorting the remaining ginseng felt that the quality was better than those produced in other ginseng gardens.Such good garden ginseng can naturally be sold at a higher price.

On the other hand, Zhou Hongjie and the others who were responsible for preparing lunch looked at Mu Shanhe who was squatting in the garden and laughing with the villagers. They also lamented that this little boss has such a changeable personality.I don’t know which side is his truest self.

Because there were so many people called, the work that was originally planned to be completed in one day was delayed for a while at noon, and all the garden ginseng, which was more than [-] feet long, was finished.Seeing the ginseng being bagged one after another, Mu Shanhe also felt a sense of accomplishment.

Not surprisingly, when all these gardens are put together, the weight must exceed two thousand kilograms.At present, the output of ginseng gardens in forest areas is about [-] kilograms per foot of garden.If it exceeds twenty kilograms, it must be a skilled grower.

"Grandpa Mu, thank you for your hard work. Wash your hands or smoke a cigarette quickly. We are ready to have dinner."

"Okay, then we will also have a harvest feast from you today."

While working previously, many villagers smelled the aroma of stewed meat in the pot.There are even villagers who can tell by the smell of meat that it is not common pork, but mutton, which is more expensive than pork.

Cong Mu Shanhe was willing to prepare such a sumptuous banquet and treat these villagers who helped prepare the food to dinner, which shows that he is not a stingy person.Many people even think that Mu Shanhe will definitely become a famous capable person in the forest area like his grandfather in the future.

If earlier, they were worried that Mu Shanhe would not know how to live alone in the future.Now that everyone is done, all the villagers know that this boy's future life will probably be better than theirs.

These days, as long as you have money in your pocket, are you still worried about not having a good life?

If Mu Shanhe was not still young, the news about the sold out ginseng would have spread, and many families with daughters in the forest area would be thinking of finding a matchmaker to marry Mu Shanhe!
