Zhao Jianshe was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Third brother, we are all the same person. How do you think you got this brain? How do you do it so well?"
"I'll tell my dad later. This method is definitely feasible."
After the team starts planting every year, they plant saplings on the empty soil and then forget about it. What a waste.
If this can be used, even if it is only for one year, ten acres of land can produce 1,800 kilograms of soybeans, which will at least be enough for top dressing.
If the sticks and fertilizers catch up, there is no need for more. An increase of three or four kilograms of fresh ginseng per foot is equivalent to dozens of dollars. No matter how you calculate this, it is appropriate.
The more Zhao Jianshe thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, but he was so excited that he kept praising Xu Shiyan for his intelligence.
Xu Shiyan just smiled, but the three-teeth pick in his hand did not stop. The two of them were talking and laughing as they dug into the afternoon ginseng.
During the lunch break, Lao Litou helped everyone heat up their meals, and everyone gathered around Kan Shen's small room to eat. After eating, they rested for a while and then continued working.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, we packed up the tools, sealed the sacks, carried them out of the ginseng field, loaded them on the carriage, and transported them back to the village.
On the village side, Zhao Dahai and his people were waiting at the entrance of the village. When they saw the carriage coming back, they immediately went to greet it.
"How's it going? Is this year's mallet good?"
The most anticipated thing throughout the year is the start of participation, which is related to the income of the entire team.
No matter how many corns, soybeans, and beans are grown, you won’t get much money just by eating them, but ginseng is different, it is simply too valuable.
The annual gathering is the top priority in the village.
"It's very good. The output is not low, the body is in good shape, not rusty, and I don't think it's too bad." Xu Shixiang jumped off the carriage and replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dahai and others became happy and waved their hands to signal the young laborers behind them to come over and carry the sacks.
"Quickly, unload the mallet from the truck and send it to the other end of the cargo room. It's still the same old rule, first scale it. Be careful and keep track of the accounts."
"Arrange people to patrol and keep watch over the cargo room tonight.
Inform the young wife in the village to come to work in the warehouse tomorrow." Zhao Dahai quickly assigned the task.
The so-called cargo room is a courtyard next to the village headquarters. Inside is a small human participation factory.
Ginseng must be cleaned as soon as possible after it comes out of the ground.
Raw sun-dried ginseng should be dried directly after washing, or dried in a drying room. Red ginseng should be steamed in a steamer, and then dried or dried after being steamed.
As a precious medicinal material, ginseng is expensive and most of it is exported except for a small amount that remains in major domestic pharmaceutical companies.
As an important product for exporting and earning foreign exchange, the policy of unified purchasing and marketing is also implemented. The specialty products bureaus and ginseng companies of each county and city are responsible for purchasing.
After the ginseng from each commune and brigade is processed and dried, it will be sent to the county for grading and sale.
After deducting a part of the task quota, the rest belongs to each commune and brigade, becoming the most important source of local economy.
Due to environmental and population restrictions, Dongjiangyan Brigade does not have a large ginseng planting area. Even so, it still makes more money than many communes and brigades.
Therefore, Zhao Dahai attaches great importance to the ginseng industry. Today he did not go to the mountain with him, but was arranging the subsequent processing at home.
When the ginseng is transported to the cargo room, it is first weighed, then poured out into several sacks and soaked directly into a large vat.
Things growing in the soil, no matter how clean they are shaken off, there is still a lot of soil, so to make it easier to scrub, soak some of it in advance.
After all the ginseng was weighed, the accounts were recorded, the small courtyard was locked, and a large group of militiamen stood guard outside the courtyard with guns on their shoulders.
Except for the militiamen who patrol at night, no one else is allowed to approach the courtyard.
None of this has anything to do with Xu Shiyan. He is only responsible for going up the mountain to pick up the ginseng. When he gets to the village, someone will take over and he will go home with the tools.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Anying busy in the kitchen. She had not seen any changes in her pregnancy for two months, and her figure was still slim and flexible.
Seeing Xu Shiyan come in, Su Anying smiled. "The food will be ready soon. You go wash your hands first, drink some water and rest."
While talking, he picked up the kettle from the stove, poured it into the basin, and turned around to scoop out cold water.
Xu Shiyan took two quick steps and took the water ladle from his wife's hand.
"I can do this myself. I have long hands and I'm not a baby. How can I let you take care of everything?"
You are pregnant with the child, so try to rest as much as possible." His wife is considerate, capable, and good at taking care of others, but Xu Shiyan doesn't want her to be too tired.
"Look what you said, it's just a matter of scooping out a ladle of water. How can it still tire me out?" Su Anying smiled with a crooked eyebrow.
"I'm not made of clay, I'm not that delicate.
Old people have said that you need to exercise more when you are pregnant to make it easier to give birth."
Xu Shiyan poured a ladle of water into the basin and washed his face. When he looked up, Su Anying had already handed over a towel.
"That's the third trimester of pregnancy. Move around more. You've just been pregnant for a short time, so you still have to be careful."
Xu Shiyan took the towel to dry his face and warned his wife worriedly.
"I'm usually busy and not at home, so be careful and don't do heavy work. Leave me to come back when it comes to fetching water and chopping firewood."
His little daughter-in-law was so capable and strong that Xu Shiyan was really worried.
So every morning he filled the water tank at home with water, chopped a big pile of firewood outside, and warned him again and again before leaving home.
Su Anying knew that her husband was doing it for her own good, so she didn't argue, she just smiled and opened the lid of the pot.
There are beans stewed with potatoes in the pot, and there are pancakes stuck to the side of the pot. Judging from the oily appearance of the beans, you can tell that they are stewed in Heixiazi oil.
Last time I brought back two cans and bottles of Heixiazizi oil from the mountain, and left one bottle for the Xu family.
Xu Shiyan told his daughter-in-law that there is no need to cherish it, just use it when it is necessary.
Su Anying promised, but rarely used it on weekdays. She probably felt sorry for Xu Shiyan who was tired from working in the mountains, so she made some stewed beans.
Fatty beans stewed with potatoes, hot pancakes, a few scallions and a plate of sauce make a very good dinner.
The young couple lives their lives without so many rules. They chat while eating.
"By the way, Aunt Zhao came over today and asked me to work in the warehouse tomorrow." Su Anying suddenly remembered this while eating.
"What kind of work are there in the warehouse? I should be able to do it, right?" Daying has not grown ginseng much in recent years, and Su Anying doesn't know much about this.
“Just clean the mallet, put it in a basket, and then steam it in a pot.
When it's steamed, take it out when cool, place it on a fork and dry it outside. When it's cloudy, send it to the drying room."
Xu Shiyan knows this process best and must explain it to Su Anying.
"If you really can't stay at home, then go and work. The work in the warehouse is not tiring and the work score is high."
Xu Shiyan knew that his wife was a restless person and she couldn't bear to let her stay at home doing nothing all day long, so he did not restrict Su Anying.
Sure enough, Su Anying became happy when she heard that she could work and the work points were high.
"Then I'll go to work tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't delay your meal."
