Xu Shiyan and his wife arranged two tables at the Canshi Hotel to treat the helpers to dinner.

Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui ran home and invited their grandparents to come with them.

The two children supported their grandparents as they walked, Xu Haiqing's mouth was never idle.

Tell your grandparents about the ginseng today and how big the ginseng is.

The old couple were a little dumbfounded when they heard this. They had been dealing with sticks all their lives, and they had never heard of sticks weighing several kilograms.

Is that still called Bangchui? Isn’t that a stickman spirit?

After dinner, Xu Chenghou asked his son.

"San'er, I heard from Hai Qing that our family's stick is quite big this year?"

"Well, they are not small. The largest one can weigh more than four kilograms.

Dad, you haven’t seen what that stick tree looks like, it’s so rare.” Xu Shiyan nodded and said with a smile.

It can be said that the harvest of this mallet this year was huge. It was 50 feet deep and the mallet hardly weighed less than one kilogram when it was lifted out.

"The ginseng fields at Liumao River are really good. They have long sticks, and Yingzi and his people take care of them carefully. I think we can sell them at a good price this year."

According to the current market conditions, a mallet weighing one pound would cost at least two thousand yuan per stick.

Besides, there are also big people in it, and they account for a large proportion. It is conservatively estimated that this 50-foot ginseng land could be sold for less than one million.

Of course, this cost is also quite high.

The big seeds that were planted in the ground weighed almost one tael. The cost of planting 12 or 3 kilograms of seeds per foot was more than 300.

After five years of careful care, I had to find someone to look after me alone for the next two years. The annual treatment fee was only 20,000 yuan less.

This is the best ginseng field in Liumao River. There are few foreign bacteria and the soil is fertile. The sticks can last for five years in the ground and grow so big.

If it were replaced with ordinary ginseng soil, let alone growing so big, I don’t know how many of them would rot and how many would be left.

Therefore, this is purely a gamble on luck. Xu Shiyan is lucky and made the right bet.

If you lose the bet, you will probably lose everything.

The routine operation for growing ginseng is still the three-three system. Even if you really want to cultivate a large product, it is best to use the three-three-three system for nine years.

"You are so good at fifty feet long? Then if you send them all to the ginseng market for sale, in what year and month will they be sold?"

Xu Chenghou took two puffs of cigarette and suddenly felt a little worried.

Ordinary people can't afford such a big mallet, so a big boss or something has to buy it back or eat it, or keep it for drinking.

Some people specially make a big glass bottle and put a big stick in it, and put it there to look pretty and impressive.

But how many buyers are there?

If we set up a ginseng market with ten or eight ginseng trees and sell them slowly, we can always sell them.

But these fifty feet are almost all big goods, so how much can you afford? How can there be so many big bosses in the market?

"Well, I discussed it with Yingzi.

Tomorrow she would call those customers in the south and tell them that the Donggang Ginseng Market would hold a ginseng auction on the 20th.

Shengkai and the others will also rush to contact ginseng farmers across our county tomorrow. They will be attending the market and holding an event or something. I estimate they can sell more than half of the ginseng farmers.

The rest are packed in moss and foam boxes and shipped directly to the capital, Shanghai, and Yangcheng.

Don’t we have a store over there? If this thing is kept in the freezer, it can be stored for a period of time, so it should be able to be sold.”

Xu Shiyan had already figured out how to operate it on the mountain, so as not to hold all these mallets in his hands.

This is Xu Shiyan and his wife, who have many channels for selling goods.

If it were anyone else, to put it bluntly, even if the stick grows well and has a good harvest, if it doesn't work well, it won't be sold.

In the ginseng market, it's okay to sell a hundred and eighty trees slowly, but if there are too many, it's really difficult to sell them.

After hearing his son's words, Xu Chenghou nodded, "Well, you two just need to know what you're talking about. But don't fail to sell it."

The old man is worried about this. What will happen if it doesn't sell? Isn't that money wasted?

"Dad, it won't be a problem. If that doesn't work, we can still wash the ginseng and soak it in wine to make fresh ginseng.

That stuff won't be afraid of aging after soaking it in wine, just leave it in Shanhuo Village and sell it slowly."

Xu Shiyan burst out laughing when he heard it. There was really no need to worry about dealing with this little thing.

The two men chatted for a while, but Xu Shiyan and the others were tired from going up the mountain to take ginseng, so they took their children home to rest.

The next day on Monday, Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui went back to school, while Su Anying took the time to contact merchants.

All the people she could contact were called to inform her.

On September 23rd, a ginseng auction will be held in Donggang Ginseng Market, where garden ginseng weighing one to two kilograms will be auctioned.

Not to mention, many people are very interested in this and have agreed to come and take a look.

It was already September 12th, very close to the scheduled time, and there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared.

Thanks to the good manpower here, everyone started preparing together, arranging people to promote to the outside world, and setting up a stage to prepare the venue.

Su Anying had to take someone with her to sort out all the ginseng and weigh them one by one.

Tie each ginseng tree with red silk, hang a sign underneath, and write the weight on it.

Order another batch of white foam boxes, use moss and moist soil to carefully pack each ginseng, and store it in a cold storage.

All the ginseng sticks have been sorted, weighed and packed. Among them, the two largest ones weigh more than four kilograms, making them truly kings of ginseng.

Under Xu Shiyan's guidance, Su Anying picked the heavy tree, and picked a lot of others weighing about a pound, and led the people to drive to the province with the ginseng.

The largest one was given directly to the province. This one was not given to any leader, but to the province.

In 1982, the Second Brigade brought out a ginseng tree weighing half a catty.

Yu Shouguang gave it to the town, and the town sent it to the county, and finally to the province.

At that time, people thought that ginseng weighing only half a pound was very rare and could be called the king of ginseng.

At the Ginseng Festival in 1988, Su Anying took out a 6-and-a-half piece of ginseng and was named the King of Garden Ginseng.

How long had it been since then? Six years later, a four-pound ginseng appeared.

I have to say that this is definitely a milestone in the history of garden ginseng cultivation in Jilin Province. It is estimated that no one will be able to break through it in the short term.

As soon as the ginseng king was delivered to the province, the entire provincial capital was really shocked, and various news media reported on it one after another.

Fusong ginseng farmers had a good harvest, and a new ginseng king appeared, weighing 2,106 grams.

A huge headline was printed on the front page of the provincial newspaper.

The provincial TV station also broadcast the news on the news that night and gave a big close-up of the ginseng tree.

Immediately afterwards, the provincial leaders hurriedly reported to the capital, and then the ginseng tree was sent to the capital.

Finally, after processing, the ginseng was sent to the Jilin Hall of the Great Hall for storage and display.

This time, Su Anying also won the title of "Ginseng King", not only with a certificate, but also a golden plaque.

The news about the appearance of a ginseng tree weighing more than four kilograms in Ji Province spread quickly, and the public was very interested in it.

Then there was news that there would be a ginseng auction at Donggang Ginseng Market on September 23rd.

There were a lot of people interested in it right now, and they quickly booked tickets to go to Fusong, Jilin Province, to participate in this auction.

September 23rd, the autumn air is crisp and the wind is light and the clouds are clear.

At the Donggang Ginseng Market, colorful flags are flying, gongs and drums are noisy, banners are hung on the gate of the ginseng market, and red silk and balloons are tied on both sides.

Su Anying invited people from Donggang Primary School, Shenchang Primary School, Shenchang Art Troupe, Forestry Bureau Art Troupe, and Fusongshanli Red Theater Troupe to give a grand singing and dancing performance.

After the performance, the ginseng auction officially began.

Mid-to-late September is the day when ginseng farmers start making ginseng.

After the previous campaign, all ginseng farmers knew that there would be an auction on the 23rd.

Many people picked out the large ginseng grown at home and came to participate in the selection and auction.

Even if I can't call it the King of Ginseng, the price of ginseng at this kind of event is still very high, which is much more cost-effective than usual sales.

At the same time, there were also herders who ran the mountains all year round and brought the wild ginseng they dug.

In recent years, domestic wild ginseng resources have gradually decreased, and it is difficult to see large quantities of them.

However, this is not a problem for those who dare to take risks. In the past two years, some people have obtained relevant documents and gone directly north to neighboring Russia to dig ginseng in the Far East.

According to legend, when the Soviet Union was first established, Lao Maozi used airplanes to sow a large number of ginseng seeds in the Far East.

No one knows whether this is true or not, but the environment in the Far East is harsh, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and Lao Maozi doesn't know how to dig out ginseng in the mountains.

It’s true that wild ginseng resources are very abundant over there.

So many people went through the relevant procedures and ventured into the Far East to look for treasures in the mountains.

There were many people from Donggang who went there together, and some people were looking for Huang Shengkai and others at that time.
