The main purpose of checking ginseng is to prevent people from stealing ginseng, and also to prevent wild boar, black blind and other animals from entering the ginseng field and causing harm.
The Dongjiangyan brigade is located in a remote area. Except for people working in Maekawa, few people go there on weekdays. No one expected that there would be a thief.
Old Li Tou has been looking at ginseng in the mountains for many years and has never lost a ginseng. However, he has encountered wild boar, black blind man and the like a few times.
No one expected that just after Lao Li Tou was hospitalized due to an accident, a thief broke into the venue and lost his mallet.
Looking at ginseng is not a tiring job.
The main reason is that every spring before the ginseng is unearthed, and the period from autumn to the beginning of the ginseng, to prevent someone from stealing the ginseng.
I couldn't sleep every night and had to walk around the garden, also called walking around.
When ginseng is unearthed and grown in summer, the underground root pulp is not sufficiently airy, so it is generally not lost.
In winter, when the land is covered with heavy snow and the ground is frozen and hard to dig, ginseng watchers can go down the mountain with confidence.
Just because he thought that looking at ginseng was not a difficult task, Zhao Dahai found an old man in his fifties from the village.
Let him go to Maekawa for a while and come back after the cold.
As a result, when the old man was sleeping in the house at night, the door was broken in from the outside.
The dogs outside didn't know what they ate, and they all lay motionless on the ground.
Nearly 20 feet of sticks for next year's production were stolen.
The brigade was shocked when they found out and immediately reported it to the commune, which sent a public security assistant to join the brigade's militiamen to investigate.
However, there was no result after searching again and again. This group of people worked neatly and disappeared after walking around in the forest.
It hasn't snowed yet at this time of year, so there's no way to follow the footprints.
Twenty feet of sticks were lost along the Dongjiang River. The old man looking at ginseng was so frightened that he ran home and never dared to go up the mountain to look at ginseng again.
Just kidding, he just saved his life.
What if those people were cruel and went straight into the house to kill him? His body would have been completely cold by the time others found him in the mountains and wilds.
Everyone was very frightened when this incident came out. Zhao Dahai went to find people to go up the mountain one by one, but no one refused.
The old man is afraid that something will happen, so he is an old man on the mountain, calling the sky and the earth for help.
Not to mention another group of thieves, just like Old Li Tou, who suddenly fell ill and no one took care of him.
Young people are even less willing to go because the work points they pay are not high. How can it be compared to working in the team?
Even if there is no life left in the ginseng field in a few days, young people can still go to Jinshan Forest Farm to cut and carry wood. The wages are high and they can earn more than looking at ginseng.
Besides, seeing Cande live in the mountains all the time, and can only go down the mountain after the Gregorian calendar year, it is too boring. How can young people be patient?
Zhao Dahai is worried. It will be three months before the ginseng field is completely frozen. What should we do on the three months mountain?
He can't go up the mountain, can he? Who will take charge of the team's work?
"San'er, I'm begging you, please help me with this.
I’ll go to the mountain to watch for a while, and I’ll give you points based on your full work every day. You’ll eat and drink as much as you can on the mountain, and you’ll be counted as part of the team.”
Zhao Dahai was really at his wits end, so he found Xu Shiyan and discussed with him.
One of the reasons for looking for Xu Shiyan is that Xu Shiyan is young and has a low chance of getting into an accident while going up the mountain.
Even if it was a minor problem, Xu Shiyan could cure it himself and nothing would happen.
On the other hand, Xu Shiyan's work is really average, and the kind of steady and meticulous work is okay.
He has never done any work that involves pure physical strength, such as carrying wood or cutting wood.
"Uncle Zhao, you have already said this, so I really shouldn't agree if I don't agree." Xu Shiyan was a little embarrassed.
In his previous life, he had been looking at ginseng in the mountains for many years, and he knew the secrets of it, so he was not afraid.
"The main thing is Yingzi, she is pregnant with the child.
You said that I went up the mountain to see ginseng by myself, leaving her to do all the work at home, and I was worried."
Xu Shiyan couldn't worry about Su Anying. He went to live in the mountains for two or three months. If Su Anying was left at home, who would do the work of fetching water and chopping firewood?
Su Anying wants to be strong and refuses to ask for help from others, but she is pregnant with a child. What if something goes wrong?
"Ahem, what else is there? If that doesn't work, let Yingzi go up the mountain with you and give her half the work. Isn't that okay?"
Zhao Dahai felt happy when he heard this. What did he think was wrong?
"When you two go up the mountain, everything you eat and drink will be counted as part of our team, and both of you will have work points.
You two are also living in other people's houses, and there is actually not much difference between the mountain and the village. Do you think this is okay?"
Zhao Dahai is really at his wits' end. The sticks haven't been planted yet, and the ginseng seeds haven't been scattered yet. There's still a long time before the ground freezes, so the ginseng fields can't be guarded by militiamen all the time.
Compared with the loss caused by losing the mallet, Xu Shiyan and his wife's work points and food were not a big deal.
"This..." Xu Shiyan didn't expect Zhao Dahai to say this, and was really embarrassed.
The mountain is not as good as the village. Can Su Anying adapt to going up the mountain?
"Shiyan, Uncle Zhao has already mentioned this, so just agree to it.
It’s okay, I’ll go up the mountain with you, I’m not afraid of hardship.”
Su Anying, who was cooking in the outer room, had been paying attention to the room. At this time, she came into the room carrying a pot and spatula and said.
When Su Anying thought about it, it was the same wherever the couple lived, and it wasn't their own home anyway.
The couple went up the mountain to see ginseng together, and the team took care of everything they ate, and both of them were credited with work points. This was already pretty good, so why not agree?
"San'er, you have married a good wife, and Yingzi knows everything."
When Zhao Dahai heard this, he became happy and praised Su Anying for her good work.
His wife had expressed her stance, what else could Xu Shiyan say? He could only nod in agreement.
"Uncle, it's okay to go up the mountain to see ginseng, but you have to promise me some things."
This was Zhao Dahai taking the initiative to come to him to beg him. He didn't have to go up the mountain to see the ginseng. The conditions had to be met.
"No matter what the matter is, you can just say it. As long as the team has it, you can just mention it."
It is not easy to find a ginseng watcher, especially young people, who are not willing to go. Zhao Dahai now has an idea, as long as Xu Shiyan is willing to agree, he will give him whatever he wants.
"Uncle Li used to use a stick handle when he was looking at ginseng in the mountains. Uncle, please get me a semi-automatic with enough bullets."
Xu Shiyan had been thinking about this for a long time and had never had a chance. Now that the opportunity had come to his door, he had to get a good gun.
"One more thing, please give me a certificate. I have to go to the blacksmith's furnace in the commune to make a batch of things and keep them for reference."
There were originally six or seven dogs on the mountain. I don't know what kind of medicine they took this time, and two dogs died from the medicine.
The others were also sick and could not recover for a while, so Xu Shiyan had to find another way to recruit them.
Viewing ginseng is actually very simple. Ground guns, crackers, clamps, ground nails and other things are arranged around the ginseng field. There are also a few good dogs inside to warn the thieves, so thieves cannot get in at all.
If Xu Shiyan wants to prove it, he just wants to go to the blacksmith's furnace and make a batch of ground guns, ground nails and other things.
