"What are you thinking about? A training class? If there is a training class, you will give lectures to others.
As far as ginseng is concerned, who else has better skills than you? What are you going to learn?" Yu Shouguang laughed as soon as he heard this.
"Uncle, it's not just ginseng industry technology, but also other things such as animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, agricultural product processing, and deep processing of medicinal materials.
As long as there is relevant training, I want to listen." Xu Shiyan shook his head.
What he wants to learn is not ginseng planting technology. What he wants to learn is industrial deep processing and how to take advantage of raw materials to create greater value.
Yu Shouguang was stunned when he heard this, "Oh, I've never heard of what you said.
When has our county ever held these training courses? This is your first time giving a lecture. This thing is quite boring."
Xu Shiyan sighed helplessly. It seemed that it was impossible to rely on the brigade to do this, and he had to find a solution on his own.
Xu Shiyan walked around the processing factory a few more times to confirm that all the workers had mastered the method of wrapping cloth strips around sticks, and then left with Yu Shouguang and others.
After returning home, Xu Shiyan immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Mr. Chu.
He told Mr. Chu about his confusion and worries about the future prospects of the ginseng industry.
In the past few years, Xu Shiyan and Mr. Chu have been exchanging letters.
Especially after asking Mr. Chu to submit an article that year, the two of them talked about a wide range of topics and could talk about anything.
Anyway, Mr. Chu didn't find Xu Shiyan annoying. Mr. Chu would tell Xu Shiyan any confusion he had. The former master and apprentice have now become pen pals.
After writing the letter, Xu Shiyan found an opportunity to send it.
The processing plant was busy for two days and finally wrapped all those big mallets and steamed them.
There is no need for the slightly smaller ones, just wash them normally, steam them, and dry them in the sun.
Not to mention, after the rain at the end of August, the weather has been good, it hasn't rained much, and the sunshine is quite good, which is perfect for drying the sticks.
This red ginseng is dried and can be dried in the sun or dried.
However, the color of the dried mallet is dark and not bright.
Purely sun-dried sticks, bright and translucent in color, high quality.
Therefore, drying rooms are mostly used as a last resort on rainy days. As long as the weather is good, the sun will suffice.
This year, the second team's ginseng production was high, and the pressure on the processing plant was relatively high. A large number of girls and wives were recruited to work overtime.
Su Anhua was also assigned to the processing factory by Xu Shiyan.
As the twins grew older, they were no longer as noisy as they were when they were little. Su Anying recovered and she and Zhou Guilan were able to take care of each other.
Originally, Su Anhua was going back to the base camp, but Su Anying discussed with her husband that it would be better to arrange for Su Anhua to work in a processing factory for a while.
When Su Anhua returned to the camp, it was the autumn harvest. The work in the fields was tiring, and the women earned less work points. How could it compare to a processing factory?
Xu Shiyan found someone from the processing factory and asked Su Anhua to work in Su Anying's name. The work score here is high and it is not tiring, so it is suitable.
There is too much work at the processing plant, and there are not enough manpower in the first place. I wish I could get more people.
As for whether it's Su Anying or Su Anhua, the processing plant doesn't care at all, as long as someone is working.
The processing plant is busy drying, cutting, and grading goods. These tasks have little to do with Xu Shiyan. His main focus is still on the mountains and farms.
Especially on farms, the forage silage for deer and musk deer starts in the summer and is the last one in the autumn.
Due to the influence of the rain in autumn, the quality of forage was not as good as before. Xu Shiyan and his people spent some time to finally put the last batch of silage into the warehouse.
Carrots, cabbage, etc. from the fields are also harvested and buried in the ground or stored in cellars to ensure that the deer and musk deer herds have enough forage for the winter.
After two years of research on sable, raccoon dog, and otter feed, there has been considerable progress.
According to the different development stages of animals, warehouses are also filled with feed composed of meat meal, bone meal, dairy products, fish meal, soybean meal, etc. to ensure that the animals can have a normal supply in winter.
Previously, Xu Shiyan promised his second brother that he would help him develop ginseng. Xu Shian took the time to dig fifteen feet of ginseng soil in his backyard.
Originally, Xu Shiyan planned to pick some from the pile and spend money to buy it for Xu Shian to use.
Unexpectedly, the second brigade this year approved less ginseng land and a lot of ginseng seeds left.
The remaining ginseng seeds can only be used as goods, which is a pity.
So Xu Shiyan talked to Yu Shouguang, helped Xu Shian buy dozens of kilograms of ginseng seeds and seeds, and helped Xu Shian plant the sticks, which made both Xu Shian and his wife extremely happy.
Why can't I sell this ten-foot mallet for two thousand yuan after three years of serving it well? This is better than making money in the vegetable team. Who wouldn't be happy?
It was busy at the beginning of November, and the first snow fell.
Xu Shiyan also received a reply from Mr. Chu.
"Little sister, little sister, Mr. Chu wrote a letter saying that there should be a cure for your problem.
You quickly ask for leave from your master, and we can take some time to go to the provincial capital to treat you."
Xu Shiyan came down the mountain for something to do, so he went to the team headquarters first. As soon as he got there, he found his own letter.
When he opened it, it was Mr. Chu who said that the correction of spinal deformity had made progress and asked Xu Shiyan to take Xu Shiqin to the provincial capital as soon as possible.
Xu Shiqin will be examined over there. If his physical condition permits, he will be hospitalized immediately for surgical correction.
Xu Shiyan was very happy when he saw the content of the letter. He took the letter and ran home. He shouted when he entered the door.
Xu Chenghou was still looking at ginseng on the mountain. Before he came down from the mountain, Zhou Guilan was here all day long helping to look after the children.
When Xu Shiqin got off work, he would come over first to help cook and serve the children. After dinner, the couple would go back to live in the other house.
"Third brother, is it true? Mr. Chu really said that my problem can be cured?"
Xu Shiqin was cooking in the kitchen when he came back from get off work. When he heard this, he came out of the kitchen with a shovel.
"Look, can I still lie to you? Isn't it written here? I want you to go to the provincial capital to check your health."
Xu Shiyan handed the letter to his sister and asked her to read it by herself.
Xu Shiqin's hands were shaking with excitement, and the two thin sheets of letter paper seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. As he read them, tears couldn't help but fall down.
"Brother, this problem of mine can really be cured. Mr. Chu said that they cured several similar ones. Isn't this just a dream?"
After waiting day and night for all these years, the good news finally came. How could Xu Shiqin not be excited?
At this moment, her eyes were blurred with tears, but she was smiling, those were tears of joy.
"Yes, Mr. Chu led a research team to work with hospitals in Jinling and the capital to tackle key problems, and finally found a way to correct spinal deformities.
That’s why they said, let you go to the provincial capital. Ask for leave as soon as possible tomorrow, and let’s hurry up and go out.”
Xu Shiyan looked at his sister's excited look and laughed himself. It's not easy. After all these years, he finally got it.
"Hey? What does it smell like? What's the matter?"
Xu Shiyan was smiling when he suddenly sniffed and smelled something sticky.
The brother and sister hurried to the kitchen, only to find that the cabbage in the pot was not stirred and was all mushy.
