Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

Sheng Liancheng and his son had already tied the rope to a crooked tree on the edge of the cliff, with the other end hanging down.

Sheng Xiping led Sheng Xi'an, and the two of them slowly climbed up from the bottom with the help of the rope.

Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xikang were busy all afternoon and didn't have time to go down and see the ginseng king.

At this moment, he didn't care that the porridge in the pot was about to boil. He hurriedly approached Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xian and asked how big the ginseng king was.

Sheng Xi'an compared how long the reed head was, the ding beard was as thick as a finger, and Chen Feng's arm was not as thick as that of a ginseng tree.

For the rest of the afternoon, Sheng Xi'an didn't dare to say anything to disturb his elder brother's lifting of the ginseng, and he kept holding it in.

Now that I caught my father and younger brother, they were talking a lot.

"Boss, is that ginseng tree really that big?" Sheng Liancheng asked curiously.

"Well, it's really not that small at the moment. As long as the main body underneath is a little longer, it won't be as big as 6 or 7 liang."

Sheng Xiping nodded. This was the largest wild ginseng he had ever seen in his life.

In the past, it was said that 7 taels of ginseng was considered a ginseng and 8 taels was considered a treasure. That was based on the old system, where one catty was counted as sixteen taels. In fact, eight taels of ginseng was half a catty today.

But the six or seven taels Sheng Xiping mentioned were based on the current measurement units. In other words, if nothing else happens, this ginseng and that tree are definitely treasures.

When Sheng Liancheng heard this, his eyes lit up a lot, "If that's the calculation, how much is that ginseng tree worth?"

How many people in this world are not interested in money? Talking about money is a bit vulgar, but without such vulgar money, how can you live your life?

Therefore, it is a normal reaction for Sheng Liancheng to be concerned about how much Ginseng King is worth.

"Dad, this ginseng cannot be sold right now, so we have to keep it."

In fact, the ginseng gang has rules. Before going down the mountain to sell goods, private discussions about the value of ginseng are not allowed, because they are afraid that some people have evil intentions and want to monopolize the trouble and harm others.

Of course, Sheng Xiping and the others were brothers, father and son, so they didn't say this, so there was no need to worry.

However, the value of ginseng in these days is not high. If the king ginseng tree were to be sold now, it would probably cost only a few thousand yuan.

Not only is there less money, but it’s also easier to get into trouble.

Such a large ginseng can be said to be a national treasure. Once the higher-ups are alerted, it is difficult to predict the consequences. Failure to protect it will cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping had already thought about it. No matter how many ginseng trees there were in this forest, he would just pick two smaller ones and sell them for living, and keep the rest.

"In the future, Laoshan's participation in the conference will be less and less. If we stay here for more than ten or twenty years, we will not be able to save everything. The number will increase many times.

Our family is not short of money right now, so it would be a pity to sell it.

In the future, if any of us brothers encounter some difficulty and need money, we can sell it for emergency purposes.

If you exchange money for this thing, it will be spent if you don't keep it all. If you don't sell it, just leave it aside and you can exchange it for money at any time. "

It’s not like the Sheng family can’t survive these days, so there’s really no need to sell it at a low price right now.

Not to mention too much, in another twenty years, the King of Ginseng will be sold for at least one million. It would be a fool to sell it just now.

"Ah? You won't sell it? If you don't sell it and put it in our hands, won't it get spoiled?

It would be a pity if it rotted or was eaten by insects or something. "Sheng Liancheng was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Dad, don't worry. How could I be willing to harm such a good ginseng? I must keep it well."

Sheng Xiping was not surprised by his father's attitude. After all, he was the only one who was reborn. The family didn't know what the future would be like, so it was normal for them to have doubts.

Sheng Liancheng, his father and his son, were all skeptical of Sheng Xiping's words.

But Sheng Xiping was the leader, and he had agreed before entering the mountain that everything would be arranged by Sheng Xiping.

Since he said he won't sell it, it's hard for the three of them to say anything else. It's all for this family anyway. Sheng Xiping must have a reason for saying so.

"Oh, my porridge." As he was talking, the porridge in the pot boiled and overflowed, and the water fell on the firewood burning underneath, making a sizzling sound.

Only then did Sheng Liancheng remember that he had been cooking just now.

So he hurried over, opened the lid of the pot, stirred the porridge in the pot with a spoon, and blew on it to make the layer of foam on the surface of the porridge disappear.

Millet porridge is filled with chopped dried meat and mountain leeks.

The dried meat was made by Zhang Shuzhen, who had marinated and dried the endless meat at home. It has a salty taste, and coupled with the spiciness of mountain leeks, the aroma of the porridge wafted far away along with the heat.

When Sheng Xiping was eating the second pancake at noon, he went to look for the mallet, but it fell down again. The next step was to lift the ginseng. This afternoon, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

Now when I smell the aroma of porridge, I feel even more hungry. "Dad, is the food ready? Eat when it's ready. I'm hungry."

"Okay, okay, let's start dinner." Upon hearing this, Sheng Liancheng quickly took down the porridge pot and placed it on the flat ground in front of the shack.

Then he took out four bowls, and each of the four men filled a bowl of hot porridge with a few large pancakes. This was dinner.

I'm tired and hungry all day long, no matter what it is, it tastes delicious.

Especially when it’s cold in the woods at night, drinking some hot wild vegetable and meat porridge is particularly comfortable.

Sheng Xiping was only twenty-one years old, and when his teeth were in good condition, he could eat large pancakes without any difficulty.

In a short time, I ate five pancakes and drank two and a half bowls of porridge. Now, I finally felt that I was no longer hungry.

"Dad, there are a lot of sticks down there. I think there are at least a dozen of them with fifth-grade and sixth-grade leaves. I estimate it will take at least three to five days to lift them all.

At the small repair shop, you can't always ask for leave. If that doesn't work, you and the third child can go back tomorrow and bring us some food.

Then you two should go to work, go to school when you should, and don't delay for too long.

The second child and I have nothing to do, and the educated youth team has nothing important to do. We will stay in the mountains for a few more days, and we will carry out as many ginseng as we can.

We won’t keep the remaining little ones until five or six years have passed, and then we’ll come over and have a look. "

Sheng Xiping pondered this matter while carrying the ginseng underneath.

The four of them went into the mountains and were delayed for many days. The goal was so obvious that others could guess at once that the Sheng family was definitely in trouble.

Originally, the Sheng family was quite conspicuous in Qianchuan Forest Farm.

Everyone knows that Sheng Xiping can go hunting in the mountains, including black bears, big brown bears, wild boars, leopards, etc. He can make a lot of money in a year, and many people are secretly jealous.

If people knew that the Sheng family had found a big deal and could sell it for a lot of money, how many people would secretly be so jealous that they couldn't sleep and were thinking of ways to cause trouble for the Sheng family? .

After all, there is a difference between hunting and herding mountains.

Hunting requires real ability, good marksmanship and courage. Most people are envious and don't have that ability.

But Fangshan is different. Even if it's a little difficult, it's not that difficult. Most of it is still a matter of luck.

If someone is lucky, he might encounter a big deal when he goes into the mountains and become rich all of a sudden.

No matter what age, no matter what the world, as long as you are a person, you all have a dream of getting rich. Seeing that the Sheng family has become lucky and rich, how can others not be jealous?
