Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Li Hu suddenly realized how much money could be made from fishing. During this period, the average profit was only 50 to 60 days. After deducting the wages of workers and fodder for mules and horses, the net profit was not much. Three months of hard work in fishing was not as fast as digging a ginseng that had grown for decades.

"Let's go around and see how the thorny old buds are growing. The first batch of 300 large vats has arrived at the forest farm. The original first wood processing workshop covers an area of ​​20 acres and can be contracted out at any time."

Liu Xia Lian led the group to the north and wandered around the edge of the woods. This was an area where villagers were very active and there were relatively few wild animals.

There were so many wild vegetables that before we had walked far, the four baskets were almost full.

Hunting is not allowed in spring, but it is not absolute. For example, the villagers would like to hunt wild boars 24 hours a day. For example, in front of us, militiamen from two villages actually built a rack on a tree at a height of five or six meters, and there was corn scattered under the tree.

Daya looked at the hunting scene in front of her in surprise. This trap was very simple. Corn kernels were too attractive to wild boars. They would come over as soon as they smelled it from a distance.

At this time, the person standing on the tree directly threw the short spear down. The short spear with a hardwood pole could easily penetrate the wild boar's body. There was a deep blood groove on the spear head. In less than ten minutes, the wild boar was dead and the blood was collected.

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand and said, "Let's take a detour and not disturb other people's nests. This should be arranged by the village chief to hunt wild boars to provide food for the people on the school construction site."

As they were walking, Xiao Fei suddenly pointed at a plant that had just emerged and said, "Sister, is this a mallet?"

Liu Xia Lian came over to take a look and nodded: "Xiao Fei has made great progress. He can find ginseng. Let's dig it up. It will be useful for ten to eight years."

Digging ginseng is a technical job. Even if the year is young, you have to follow the rules, tie a red string, and hang a copper coin. Clean the surface soil, and then dig carefully with a small shovel. Xu Xiong got started and worked very quickly. In about ten minutes, a ginseng of about ten years was unearthed. This kind of ginseng of ten years is extremely productive in the Changbai Mountain area. Some villagers grow ginseng in their own woods, and dig it out and sell it after ten or eight years. The purchase price is one dollar and a half to two dollars, which is especially good for stewing chicken.

Because the forest area regulations are very complicated, you can pick pine cones and wild vegetables from the forest allocated to you, but you cannot cut down a single tree. This is embarrassing, because the forest area is based on selling trees for money. Now that this regulation has been issued, ordinary people are confused. They may be imprisoned for cutting down the trees they planted.

But life has to go on, and the people with active minds grow ginseng seedlings, let them grow in the nursery for a year, and then plant them in the mountains and forests in the spring of the following year, leaving them to fend for themselves.

This is free-range ginseng, which is different from cultivated garden ginseng and wild ginseng.

Soon, all four baskets were filled with wild vegetables and no more could be picked.

"Let's go back. We'll officially start receiving the goods tomorrow."

When Liu Xialian came back, her mother was feeding pheasants in the backyard. There were only about a hundred pheasants in the big cage a few years ago, but now there are more than 500 of them. They are all hatched by the mother pheasants themselves, and the chicks don't need to be taken care of too much, but they like to eat wild vegetables too much.

"Mom, this chicken is growing really well. I didn't expect it to be successful."

"These are all hatched by the female pheasants themselves, which can't be considered a real success. If they really develop into a big company in the future, we still have to find a way to artificially hatch them. After all, pheasants are subject to too many restrictions when hatching on their own. Once the environment changes, they will not be interested in hatching. Your eldest sister can hatch by fire, but unfortunately she has a lot of things to do at home."

"We dug up some dandelions today, but we can't eat them all. We'll feed some to the chickens. The thorny buds are ready. Tomorrow we'll start collecting thorny buds, wild leeks, and dandelions. The thorny buds are 20 cents, the wild leeks are 15 cents, and the dandelions are 10 cents. All the wild vegetables must be collected in good condition. Go around the village and communicate with the various collection teams."

Mother said, "It's a small matter. I'll go right away. Where can I get it?"

"The old house is not available, and this place is not suitable either. Let's grow crops in the greenhouse. There is an empty greenhouse with nothing planted on it, which is perfect for collecting and sorting. You will be responsible for purchasing wild vegetables. I have hired an accountant from the county to help you with the accounting. Shuiqin will lead a few female workers to cooperate with you, and we will harvest 200,000 kilograms of wild vegetables this spring."

Mother's face was filled with joy: "Okay, okay, your dad always thinks I'm not as good as him, this time I'm going to make him look at me in a new light."

Liu Xia Lian said with a smile: "You are making 150 yuan a month, and you are competing with someone who is making 45 yuan a month. You have already surpassed my dad."

Mother hummed a little tune and said, "I'll go to the village brigade and use the loudspeaker to shout that it's not just us who are buying. We need to plan ahead."

The village chief and his men were all at the construction site, and a team leader stayed behind in the village office. My mother turned on the loudspeaker and shouted three times before she came back satisfied.

When we walked to the stone mill at the intersection, we saw several women grinding rice and chatting.

Niu Er's wife has a loud voice and is calling out to Liu Xia Lian.

"This Xia Lian is just trying to attract attention. She donated 30,000 yuan just to make people look up to her."

Someone nearby said, "Donating 30,000 is not easy. I guess the 100-year-old ginseng that I dug up has already been donated. If it were me, I wouldn't even be willing to donate 300."

Mother didn't care and planned to go back.

Who knew Niu Er's wife was still there indignantly: "If you ask me, she has done too many bad things. Did you hear the loudspeaker? The city sells prickly ash for more than 30 cents per pound, and her family buys it for 20 cents. We buy 1,000 pounds a day, that's 100 yuan, and all the money goes to her family."

When my mother heard this, she immediately came over and looked at Niu Er's wife coldly: "Niu Er's wife, my Xia Lian donated 30,000 yuan, you also donate 30,000 yuan."

When Niu Er's wife found out that she was caught saying bad things, she was shocked, but she quickly calmed down. She was the quarreling queen in the village, so who was she afraid of?

"I don't have 30,000 yuan, but if I had 30,000 yuan, I would definitely donate it."

"Then go and donate thirty. I know you must have thirty. Come on, I'll take you there and I'll watch you donate thirty."

"I don't have thirty, not even three dollars."

"You don't donate yourself, but you still criticize others behind their backs when you see them donating. If you don't think about yourself when you speak and act, you should think about your children. I don't believe that all of your three children will not go to school."

"The school you go to is a public school, not yours."

The villagers tried to stop the quarrel, and my mother didn't continue. She said, "Niu Er's wife, remember what you said today. This year, I won't buy any of the wild vegetables you dig. You can sell them wherever you want. I won't cheat you out of your money."

"Tsk, it's just a matter of walking a few more steps, who are you trying to scare?"

In the countryside, there is always a small group of people who dislike you for being poor and fear you for being rich. If you don't have enough to eat or drink, they will laugh at you. If your family is rich, they will find ways to slander you.

Mother came to the vegetable shed angrily, and Shuqin was setting up the table, preparing to weigh the scale.

"Shuiqin, be careful when harvesting vegetables. Don't take any of the wild vegetables that Niu Er's wife dug."

"What's wrong? Is Auntie angry?"

"She said on the street that Xia Lian was a scoundrel, that she bought the vegetables for 2 cents and sold them for 30 cents in the city, and that she was cheated out of 10 cents."
