BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44: harvest joy
"I\'ll tell my father later, this method is absolutely feasible."
After the team starts participating every year, the saplings are planted on the exhausted soil, and they are ignored. What a waste.
If this can be used, even if it is only one year, ten acres of land can produce a thousand to eight hundred catties of soybeans, at least it is enough for top dressing.
It doesn’t take much to catch up with the fat. If you increase the production by three or four catties of fresh ginseng, that’s tens of dollars, which is suitable for any calculation.
The more Zhao Jianshe thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but he was so excited that he kept praising Xu Shiyan for being smart.
Xu Shiyan just smiled, but the three-toothed stick in his hand didn\'t stop, and the two of them planed a ginseng while talking and laughing.
Break at noon, Mr. Li helped to heat everyone\'s meals, and the big guys ate around the small room of the supervisor, took a rest after eating, and continued to work.
At four o\'clock in the afternoon, I packed up the tools, sealed the sack, and then carried it out of the ginseng field, loaded it into a carriage and transported it back to the village.
In the village, Zhao Dahai and his people were waiting at the entrance of the village. When the carriage came back, they immediately went up to meet it.
"How is it? Is this year\'s mallet long head good?"
What I look forward to most throughout the year is participation, which is related to the income of the entire children\'s brigade.
No matter how many kinds of corn and soybeans you eat, you can’t exchange them for a few dollars, but ginseng is different, it is simply too valuable.
The annual participation is the top priority in the village.
"It\'s pretty good, the output is not low, the figure is not bad, it doesn\'t grow rust, and I don\'t think it\'s too bad." Xu Shixiang jumped off the carriage and replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Dahai and the others cheered up, waved their hands, and signaled the young labor behind him to come over and carry the sack.
"Hurry up, quickly unload the stick and send it to the other side of the warehouse. It\'s still the old rule, first use the scale, be careful, and keep the accounts."
"Arrange people to patrol the night at the warehouse.
Inform the young daughter-in-law in the village that she will come to work in the house tomorrow. "Zhao Dahai quickly assigned the task.
The so-called goods house is a courtyard next to the village head, which is a small factory for people to participate in.
When ginseng comes back from the ground, it should be cleaned as soon as possible.
Raw sun-dried ginseng is directly dried after scrubbing, or dried in a drying room. Red ginseng should be steamed in a cage, and then dried or dried after steaming.
Ginseng is a precious medicinal material, which is expensive. Except for a small part that remains in major domestic pharmaceutical factories, most of it is exported.
As an important export product, it also implements a unified purchase and sales policy, and the special product bureaus and ginseng companies in counties and cities are responsible for the purchase.
Participants from various communes and brigades will be sent to the county for grading and sale after the ginseng is dried.
After deducting part of the task amount, the rest is owned by the communes and brigades, and has become the most important source of income for the local area.
Due to environmental and population constraints, the Dongjiangyan Brigade has a small ginseng planting area. Even so, it earns more money than many communes and brigades.
That\'s why Zhao Dahai attaches great importance to the ginseng industry. He didn\'t follow him to the mountain today, but arranged the next processing at home.
Ginseng is transported to the warehouse, first weighed, then poured out a few sacks, and soaked directly into the big tank.
Things that grow in the soil, no matter how clean they are shaken off, there is still a lot of soil, so they are soaked in advance to make it easier to scrub.
Wait until all the ginseng has been weighed, and the account is recorded. The small courtyard is locked, and the brigade of militiamen are carrying guns and guarding outside the courtyard.
Except for the militiamen patrolling at night, no one is allowed to approach the courtyard.
These have nothing to do with Xu Shiyan. He is only responsible for going up the mountain to participate in the ginseng. When he arrives in the village, someone will take over and go home with the tools.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Su Anying busy in the kitchen. She was pregnant for two months and still hadn\'t seen any changes, her figure was still slim and flexible.
Seeing Xu Shiyan enter the door, Su Anying smiled. "The meal 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 washbasin, and turned around to scoop up cold water.
Xu Shiyan took two quick steps, and took the ladle from his wife.
"I can do these by myself, I have long hands, and I\'m not a baby, how can I let you serve everything?
You are pregnant with a child, try to rest as much as possible. "My daughter-in-law is considerate and capable, and knows how to take care of others, but Xu Shiyan doesn\'t want her to be too tired.
"Look at what you said, it\'s just a matter of scooping up a ladle of water, can it still tire me out?" Su Anying smiled and frowned.
"I\'m not made of mud and paper, I\'m not that delicate.
The old people have said that you need to be more active when you are pregnant, and it is easier to give birth. "
Xu Shiyan poured a ladle of water into the basin, took the water to wash his face, and when he looked up, Su Anying had already handed him a towel.
"That\'s late pregnancy, move around more, you\'ve just been pregnant, so you still have to be careful."
Xu Shiyan took the towel to dry his face, and told his wife worriedly.
"Usually I\'m busy and I\'m not at home. Take care of yourself and don\'t do heavy work. For carrying water and chopping firewood, leave me to come back."
The little daughter-in-law of his family is too capable and strong, Xu Shiyan is really worried.
So every morning he filled the water tank at home with water, chopped a large pile of firewood outside, and reminded him repeatedly before leaving the house.
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.
In the pot is stewed potatoes with beans, and there are pancakes on the side of the pot. Looking at the oily appearance of the beans, you can tell that it is stewed with Heixiazi oil.
The last time I brought back two cans of Heixiazi oil from the mountain, I left one bottle for the Xu family.
Xu Shiyan told his daughter-in-law, don\'t cherish it, just use it when you need it.
Su Anying promised, but she rarely used it on weekdays. It was probably because she felt sorry for Xu Shiyan who was tired from working in the mountains, so she made some stewed beans.
Stewed potatoes with oily beans, hot pancakes, a few scallions, and a plate of sauce, it is a very good dinner.
The young couple live their lives without so many rules, chatting while eating.
"By the way, Aunt Zhao came over today and asked me to work in the shop tomorrow." Su Anying suddenly remembered this while eating.
"What are the jobs in the house? I should be able to do it?" Daying hasn\'t grown ginseng much these years, and Su Anying doesn\'t know much about it.
"It means cleaning the sticks, putting them in a drawer, and steaming them in a pan.
Steamed and cooled thoroughly, picked it up, put it on a fork and let it dry outside. When it is cloudy, send it to the drying room. "
Xu Shiyan is the clearest about this set of procedures, so he must explain it to Su Anying.
"If you really can\'t stay at home, then go to work. The work in the house is not tiring, and the work points are high."
Xu Shiyan knew that his daughter-in-law was a restless person, and she couldn\'t stand letting her stay at home all day with nothing to do, so she didn\'t restrict Su Anying.
Sure enough, Su Anying became happy when she heard that she could go to work, and the work points were still high.
"Then I will go to work tomorrow, don\'t worry, I won\'t delay your meal."
