The father-in-law and mother-in-law brought their sister-in-law to see Huanxi, and Xu Shiyan would definitely entertain them well.
Fortunately, living conditions are much better now than before. You can buy everything in Songjianghe. Many things are free of charge, but they are a bit more expensive.
For Xu Shiyan, it was no problem at all. He brought a pile of all kinds of food back and cooked a large table of delicious dishes.
She made her father-in-law and mother-in-law so happy that she praised Su Anying for being lucky.
Su Weizhong is the production team leader. The team is busy at this time and cannot delay for too long. He will go home the next day.
Mr. Han stayed at Xu's house for a week, helping to take care of Su Anying and the children.
With the help of the Han mother and daughter, Zhou Guilan finally felt a lot more relaxed, and Xu Shiqin also hurried back to work.
Mr. Han stayed for a week and left because he was thinking about his family.
Only the sixth child, Su Anhua, was left to help take care of Su Anying and the children.
Before leaving, Mrs. Han also gave many instructions to Su Anhua to be discerning and help more with the work.
Su Anhua agreed, and Han left with peace of mind.
In June, there is a lot of work to do in the ginseng field, and there is also the task of preparing fertilizer for the ginseng field.
Xu Shiyan is now not only the ginseng industry technician of the Second Brigade, but also the ginseng industry technical consultant of Donggang Commune. He really can't stay at home to take care of his confinement.
Last year, the Xiaoheihe ginseng field was harvested for the first time to produce ginseng.
For the 200-foot stick used in the initial experiment, base fertilizer and top dressing were applied, as well as subsequent management to keep up.
One foot produces 25 kilograms of water ginseng, which is more than 50% higher than the original production.
The second team's ginseng fertilization test was successful, and the yield exceeded a record high.
This is a great thing, how could Yu Shouguang hide it? Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
Besides, this was a great achievement, and Yu Shouguang was stupid enough to hide it.
So he immediately reported it to the superiors, and then the entire Erdonggang Commune and even the county knew about it.
The county specially sent people to investigate and verify, and they went up the mountain with them.
I watched a very big mallet come out of the ground with my own eyes. It was weighed on site and it weighed twenty-four or five kilograms per foot. In some areas, it could even weigh twenty-six or seven kilograms.
This was so serious that people sent from the county reported it immediately.
Then the Agriculture Bureau, Ginseng and Antler Company, Specialty Products Bureau and other departments all sent people over to inquire about the specific formula of fertilizer for ginseng fields and other related matters.
Xu Shiyan, as the ginseng industry technician of the second brigade and the specific person in charge of ginseng fertilizer, is of course responsible for explaining it to his superiors.
At this point, the fertilizer formula can no longer be hidden.
When Xu Shiyan told Zhao Dahai, he heard someone mention it on the train, so it was naturally difficult to change his mind now.
He only said that the bean cake water topdressing was inspired by listening to other people's conversations. As for the preparation of mixed fertilizer using bean cake, perilla seeds, and stone, he researched it himself.
This makes it easier to win people's trust, and avoids inconsistencies in your statements that may arouse suspicion.
After the formula was made public, people from the relevant departments immediately took some samples of the fertilizer prepared by Xu Shiyan and sent them to the provincial Agricultural College, where experts and professors were invited to conduct laboratory analysis.
After a while, news came back, confirming that the formula was indeed effective.
Coupled with the fact that the second brigade’s production is really there, no one doubts it anymore.
Therefore, an article is written about Comrade Xu Shiyan, a ginseng farmer from the Second Brigade of Donggang Commune, who is dedicated to the public, dares to think, dare to do, and has the courage to practice. Arming his mind with scientific knowledge, he develops compound fertilizers for ginseng fields to increase production and income.
Through Xu Shixian's pen, it finally appeared in major newspapers and periodicals in the county, city, and province.
Originally, Xu Shiyan was well-known to the county leaders because of his wildlife breeding matters, and he was a target of special attention.
This time, there is good news about this special fertilizer for ginseng, which can increase production by 50%. It was developed by Xu Shiyan again.
After the county leaders found out, they greatly affirmed Xu Shiyan's contribution.
You know, wildlife breeding is still in its initial stages.
It may take more than ten years to develop to a certain scale and be able to drive the county economy.
But this special fertilizer for ginseng is different. The whole of Fusong, no, it should be said that together with the surrounding areas of Fusong, how many places are focused on planting ginseng to develop the economy?
If all fertilizers are used, the production will increase by 50% in three years. If all the ginseng fields in a county are added up, how much will the production increase? Who wouldn't be interested after hearing this?
The county leaders unanimously approved the selection of the Second Brigade of Donggang Commune as the advanced collective in 2018.
Xu Shiyan was selected as an advanced producer, model worker, and pacesetter in industrial production.
In March this year, Xu Shiyan went to the county to attend a commendation meeting.
The county leader personally presented the award, wearing a big red flower, and asked Xu Shiyan to speak on stage and share the technology of formulating fertilizer for ginseng.
Since Xu Shiyan has made the formula public, he will naturally not be stingy in imparting the techniques.
But the commendation meeting has a time limit, and some things cannot be understood just by talking about them, they must be practiced in practice.
So Xu Shiyan gave a brief talk, and then said that in June and July, the fertilizers of the Second Brigade will be fermented, and you are welcome to visit and study.
After getting off the podium, leaders from various communes and communes from all over the country participated in the competition, and several state-owned county officials participating in the competition surrounded Xu Shiyan.
They all politely asked Xu Shiyan about specific fertilizer preparation techniques and wanted to hire Xu Shiyan to provide technical guidance.
Xu Shiyan still has the same attitude, no matter where he is, he can send people to study.
If it is really inconvenient, he has brought many apprentices here, and he can also have people come over to provide technical guidance.
After all, Xu Shiyan is only one person, and he doesn't have eight legs, so he can't walk to so many places.
So, in June, people from everywhere called to inquire.
Donggang has given a specific time. Work will start here on June 10th, so you can come over and study.
On the 10th, Donggang Commune borrowed the large classroom on the fourth floor of the newly built Donggang High School and arranged for Xu Shiyan to give lectures to students from all over the country.
Detailed introduction to the specific operation process of fertilizer for ginseng, as well as some related yield-increasing techniques, etc.
"Fertilizer for ginseng fields can be divided into two types: base fertilizer and top dressing.
Basal fertilizer, also known as base fertilizer, has the following methods.
The first method is to crush and ferment bean cakes and apply them separately as base fertilizer, using about one pound of fermented bean cake powder per foot.
After three years, the production of water ginseng can be increased by about 120%."
Xu Shiyan had already prepared the relevant materials, so he didn’t panic at all when he came to the stage to give lectures. He listed them one by one and explained them one by one.
“The second type is perilla base fertilizer.
Fry the perilla seeds and pulverize them, mix in five to six pounds of fine soil per catty, and sprinkle the perilla base fertilizer evenly on the roots when planting ginseng.
Using about half a catty of perilla per foot can increase yield by 20% in three years."
"The third type is deer dung base fertilizer. The deer dung is fully decomposed, poured finely, and mixed into the ginseng soil when pouring the soil.
Applying about ten kilograms of deer dung to every foot of ginseng soil can increase yield by 35% in three years."
"The fourth is mixed fertilizer, fried perilla seeds are crushed, crushed and fermented over stones, bean cake powder is decomposed and dried, and kang hole soil is used.
Mix evenly in a ratio of two, two, two, and four, and pile up for secondary fermentation.
Using about four kilograms per foot, the yield can be increased by 25 to 30 percent in three years."
“If you don’t have kang soil, you can use peat soil, but you have to pay attention to insecticide and the secondary fermentation time needs to be longer.
This can fully kill the eggs and pathogenic bacteria in the peat soil, ensuring that the ginseng is free from pests and diseases."

The above recipes and data come from county annals. My family used to mainly use bean cakes and less perilla.
