I gave lectures for one day and started practical operations the next day.
Bean cake powder and other raw materials are crushed early in the morning. This requires no technology. Nowadays, every commune has mills and so on, so crushing is not a problem.
The most important thing is the ratio of raw materials and accurate control of the degree of fermentation.
If the fermentation is too light, the fertilizer will easily burn the whiskers of the sticks, resulting in reduced yields.
Even if it is fermented, nutrients will be lost and the expected goal cannot be achieved.
But this fermentation process takes a long time, and these people who come to learn cannot stay here forever.
We had no choice but to follow Xu Shiyan's instructions and send out several technical instructors from the second brigade to follow up and guide the teaching.
At this time, several communes almost started fighting over the competition for technicians.
There is no way, Xu Shiyan has only brought out Zhao Jianshe and five others in the past few years. There are so many communes under the county, and they can't distinguish between them.
Finally, everyone discussed and decided that each of Zhao Jianshe and others would lead two communes.
Therefore, the two neighboring communes agreed to pick up a technician to follow and guide him throughout the entire process from June to September, take care of food, food and housing, and give him double work points.
In this way, Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming and others went home happily, packed their luggage, and went out to work as technical guidance.
As for Xu Shiyan, he stayed in Donggang Commune to guide the first team, the commune team, the first team, and the third team.
As a result, Xiaoheihejiudi will have to find someone else.
Yu Shouguang selected four old men in their fifties from the Second Brigade, and they all followed Xu Chenghou's command.
Fortunately, the other end of the Xiaohei River is far away from the Songjiang River, and guns and cannons are very useful, so not many people dare to go there and play.
A few old men were keeping company in the mountains, walking twice in the evening and catching fish during the day.
Occasionally trapping pheasants and rabbits improves life. Although it is not as good as when Xu Shiyan was in the mountains, it is not bad.
However, there is a bit of trouble at the breeding farm. Huang Shengli and others have gone out, and there is no one to look after them here.
Those blind bastards can do their job well, but there must be someone reliable to take charge.
As soon as Xu Shiyan thought about it, he went to find his second brother Xu Shian.
Compared with the eldest brother's smooth sailing in the past few years, the second child Xu Shi'an can only be said to be average.
The vegetable team has become less and less developed in recent years, and the Forestry Bureau directly dumped several subordinate vegetable teams to the town.
With the opening of the market in the past two years, allowing small traders and vendors to buy and sell freely, small villages around the Songjiang River have also come to sell vegetables, which has a great impact on the vegetable team.
Xu Shian didn't make much money working on the vegetable team, so he simply grew grain and vegetables in front of and behind his house.
When choosing a homestead site, Xu Shian was optimistic about the large and spacious place here.
After the house was built, a large vegetable garden was surrounding it, covering three or four acres in front and back.
The food is eaten at home and the vegetables are sold in the market. After all, it is no less than what you earn in the vegetable team, and you are free and not controlled by others.
"Second brother, please help me manage this for a while.
It doesn't require much effort from you, the main thing is just to watch those blind people work.
I'll go over when I'm free, and we'll alternate.
This autumn, I will help you find ginseng seeds and seeds.
I see your place in the back is pretty big, isn’t it? The soil here is good, and you can make more money by digging out a tree ten or twenty feet tall than growing vegetables.”
Xu Shiyan consulted with his elder brother and agreed to support his second brother in planting ginseng.
"Lao San, aren't you kidding your brother?" Xu Shian's eyes widened when he heard this.
He regretted it long ago. He should have settled in Donggang in the first place. He could make more money growing ginseng than vegetables.
"Can I allow individuals to grow ginseng now? This thing is purchased and sold under a unified system, and the ginseng company does not accept individual sticks."
Planting ginseng is not like growing vegetables. After all, the vegetables can be sold in the market, but not with sticks. They are all purchased together.
They only contact various communes and participating markets, and they sell it to individuals but do not accept it.
"Second brother, if you believe me, then you will be right as I say.
How fast has the situation changed in the past two years? Look at our agricultural team, haven’t we started to allocate land and contract it bit by bit?
If the guarantee is not enough, next year, contracting will be completely allowed. At that time, what is the difference between public and private? It’s okay to keep it.”
Last year, superiors gave instructions that some difficult communities, remote plots, and "chicken-pig-mouth" plots around the village could be contracted to households.
No matter what the policy is, it must be implemented step by step and cannot be changed all at once. There must be room for members to change their ideas.
From this autumn to next spring, the distribution of fields to each household will be implemented one after another. In the beginning of next spring, ginseng fields will also be distributed to individuals.
From now on, there will be no difference between the commune and the individual. As long as the individual delivers the tasks according to the quota, the remaining ginseng can be sold freely without restrictions.
Otherwise, how could Xu Shiyan encourage his second brother to commit suicide?
"Don't let your land go unused after planting Bangchui. I will teach you another trick when the time comes. Plant gastrodia elata in the old ginseng land. The yield will be high and of good quality. Basically, it is no different from wild ones.
You know how much gastrodia elata costs now. It’s a lot of trouble to dig it up in the mountains. Let’s grow it ourselves.”
If it comes to other things, Xu Shiyan doesn't understand, but if it comes to the comprehensive utilization of this ginseng land, he understands.
Last year, Fusong Laogenshen field cultivation experiment of Gastrodia elata passed the prefecture-level scientific and technological appraisal.
However, this technology has not been widely promoted, mainly because it still has some shortcomings.
What Xu Shiyan knew was more mature than today's technology, but it lacked an experimental base.
In the past few years, Xu Shiyan has been raising wild animals and preparing fertilizers for ginseng fields. He has been in the limelight and does not want to be high-profile for the time being.
If there are benefits, it is better to stick to your brothers first and wait until the results really come out later.
"That's great. I listen to you. If anything good happens in the future, don't forget to take your brother with you." Xu Shi'an became happy upon hearing this.
In the past few years, he has figured out a truth. He was right to listen to Lao San. Since Lao San said it could be done, there was no need for him to worry about anything.
"Don't worry, my brother won't be left behind no matter what."
If not for anything else, I have to help my second brother for the sake of my two nephews.
In his previous life, his two nephews helped Xu Shiyan a lot.
At that time, Xu Haibo came down to work before graduating from middle school, driving for his backyard purchasing station.
Xu Shiyan was here to pick up and plant ginseng, and Xu Haibo drove the boss's tractor to help with the work.
Xu Shiyan was hospitalized after a car accident, and his two nephews stayed in the hospital in shifts until Xu Shiyan was discharged.
It would be fine if Xu Shiyan was incompetent, but now he is of some use, so he can lend a helping hand to his second brother so that his family can live a better life.
As long as the second brother is still here, the two nephews will not stop studying early. No matter how well they study, they can go to high school regardless of their Forestry Bureau registered residence.
Xu Haibo is ten years old this year. By the time he graduates from high school, the Forestry Bureau will not be in decline.
Even if the child is not good at school and cannot go to college, he can still find a way to recruit workers to work in the Forestry Bureau, which is better than the previous life.
If the child is promising and can pass the exam, that's even less so.
How great would it be if they could catch up with the good times, distribute work, and have a solid job no matter where they are?
In this way, Xu Shian happily followed Xu Shiyan to go on duty at the breeding farm and lead the people to work.
The breeding farm is far away from Donggang, but actually close to Sentie. During the day, Xu Shian is watching over it, and at night the two brothers take shifts. Everything is normal and nothing goes wrong.
