"Sleeping" is not enough to describe the mood of the old "ginseng leader" Cui Zhongming.

Looking at the recessed place in front of me, there are a large number of plants with compound leaves that are flat like human palms, swaying slightly with the breeze in the forest, so simple that they almost blend in with the surrounding greenery.

But Cui Zhongming is absolutely not mistaken, this is ginseng!

Oh my God, when did all the wild ginseng come out?

The scene in front of him completely broke Cui Zhongming's decades-long cognition of "releasing mountains".

The other "Shanshan" people in the team also all had expressions of doubt on their faces.

But after reacting, Cui Zhongming cautiously turned around, whether it was from the surrounding environment or the growth of ginseng, it was determined that this was wild ginseng.

He trembled with excitement, "Miracle, this is a gift from the mountain god!"

"Quick, prepare for the ritual of sacrificing the mountain god immediately!" Cui Zhongming danced with his hands, urging the other "mountain" people to hurry up.

The crowd roared down.

Cui Zhongming introduced to Qi Zheng that the "mountain" people must pay tribute to the mountain god before officially digging ginseng. Cui Zhongming, the head of the ginseng, took out the pig's head and liquor prepared in advance as offerings, and prepared the ceremony of sacrificing to the mountain god.

It is said that this kind of ritual of sacrificing to the mountain god has been inherited from ancient times to the present, and any team that "releases the mountain" will take it very seriously, and dare not be negligent, lest it offend the mountain god.

Qi Zheng and Zhang Zehong, as well as the employees of Jiagu in the team, couldn't help, so they could only watch curiously from the sidelines.

The next ceremony was very interesting, and I saw Cui Zhongming, the "head of the ginseng", asking loudly, "What goods?"

Other people who "put the mountain" estimate the age of ginseng, and according to the jargon, they report according to the facts, for example, if they grow a compound leaf, they say "Sanhuazi"; if they have two palm-shaped compound leaves, they say "Erjiazi", and if they have three palm-shaped compound leaves, they are called "lampstands...... If there are 5 palm-shaped compound leaves, it is called "five-pint leaves".

When shouting "six leaves", the voice trembled - this is more than a hundred years old, extremely rare, "put the mountain" people are accustomed to call "a piece", meaning to see this elder, the whole hillside will have countless children and grandchildren, just like an ethnic group.

The point is, there are really a lot of "veterans" here......

As for the thousand-year-old ginseng that looks like the legendary seven-pin leaf, Cui Zhongming, the "head of ginseng", personally tied one end of the mallet lock to the ginseng stem, and the other end to the "Solo stick" to prevent the mallet from "running away". See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net

After determining the "lock" of good ginseng, Cui Zhongming summoned everyone to kowtow to the ground to express his gratitude to the mountain god.

After the ceremony of sacrificing to the mountain god is over, it is the official digging of ginseng.

Before excavating, Qi Zheng pulled Cui Zhongming aside and put forward his request: "Cui Lao, you see that there are a lot of wild ginseng here, I want to transplant them back as much as possible." So don't dig up anything except for the ones that are difficult to transplant, what do you think?"

Cui Zhongming was rolling up his sleeves and preparing to do a big job, and when he heard Qi Zheng's request, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You're not kidding, are you? The old ginseng is also transplanted back? This kind of old ginseng rhizome transplantation is uncontrollable. Cui Zhongming reminded.

Qi Zhengmian did not change his color: "Do you think that such a batch of century-old wild ginseng, how many other places in the world may exist? It would be easy to dig it all out, but don't you think it's a pity?"

It's a pity, of course, but ......

"You must know that even if they are transplanted back, they may not survive! If they die, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses! What's more, once transplanted, even if they survive, the body shape of wild ginseng may also change, and it is very likely that it does not have aura and natural ...... like normal wild ginseng."

Qi Zheng asked, "I heard that you have successfully transplanted wild ginseng that is decades old before, aren't you sure?"

Cui Zhongming looked entangled: "There is such a thing." But my transplant is not a hundred-year-old ginseng, this rare treasure, if I die, I will die a hundred deaths......"

In fact, the most important thing is that who doesn't have to work hard to find a wild ginseng, and will not consider transplantation at all, and it is the best choice to dig it up and sell it as soon as possible.

For example, this "piece" of wild ginseng in front of you, let alone seeing it with your own eyes, even if you have heard of it, you have never heard of it.

Qi Zheng said decisively, "If you have experience, then you can do this, we can always keep an eye on it after transplanting back, if it is really bad, it can be recovered in time, you can just let it go!"

There is a spirit array, afraid of a ball!

said so, but Cui Zhongming still showed hesitation, is this kind of risk worth taking?

"Of course it's worth it! Come to think of it, this may be the last 'living fossil' of wild ginseng, and we can't afford to keep some here." The best thing to do is to transplant it back. I've prepared a similar transplanting environment to keep this group of pure wild people as much as possible......"

Cui Zhongming was still persuaded by Qi Zheng, and at this time he also understood why Qi Zheng wanted to bring so many people into the mountain, and he dared to transplant the idea from the beginning.

Cui Zhongming announced the decision of the two, and although the other "Shanfang" people were shocked, they silently accepted it in the face of the prestigious "head of the staff" and the wealthy boss.

Once the plan is set, the team starts to act.

The real ginseng diggers are generally experienced handlers and side sticks.

When digging ginseng, they must first cut the surrounding weeds, and then use deer bone needles to pick out the tiny roots of ginseng while picking out the soil, so as to ensure that each root is not damaged or broken, otherwise it will "run out of pulp" and the value will be greatly reduced.

Others did not wait in place, but looked around for any ginseng, and picked moss and bark to prepare the ingredients for the ginseng.

After the ginseng is dug up, it must be "sealed in buns", that is, the newly peeled bark is wrapped in moss and original pit soil, and then the ginseng is wrapped in the middle, so as to insure the people.

As for the wild ginseng to be transplanted, it is necessary to collect all the soil underneath the ginseng. Under the guidance of the experienced Cui Zhongming, the range should be a little larger, so as not to damage the rhizome of the ginseng as much as possible.

Fortunately, Qi Zheng took this problem into account when sowing seeds before, and the sowing range was relatively divided to facilitate transplanting.

These tasks are all done by "putting the mountain" people, and Qi Zheng and other non-professionals can only work on one side.

Qi Zheng just ordered that the mature ginseng seeds must be collected, and this is to take them back for trial planting - this is also to cover for the later spirit array to help ginseng planting, this is the seeds of wild ginseng, and it is not surprising that the traits are excellent.

Generally speaking, if you encounter ginseng with mature ginseng seeds, the "mountain" person must plant the ginseng seeds in the same place, which has become an ironclad rule of "putting the mountain". Therefore, Qi Zheng did not completely occupy the ginseng seeds, after all, this is the only protection behavior in the entire "mountain" process.

It can be said that while digging up ginseng, the "Shanshan" people basically cut off the possibility of it breeding in the wild.

It is precisely because of this large-scale, seasonal, and large and small harvesting of wild ginseng that there is no balance between harvesting and raising at all, and for hundreds of years, ginseng can only face the danger of extinction.

The excavation team organized by Qi Zheng did the same, digging up all the wild ginseng, not even the ginseng that was several years old - there would be no good end after staying, this place had been completely exposed, and sooner or later it would not be let go.

All Cui Zhongming can do is plant some ginseng seeds in situ and leave a glimmer of hope.

The team returned with a full load.

......

After leaving the mountain, Qi Zheng led the team to rush to the ginseng plantation purchased by Jiagu as soon as possible, and first transplanted the wild ginseng to be transplanted.

Ginseng can not be grown anywhere, but it should be high in nutrients and cool and moist, which means that ginseng is mostly planted on virgin land that has been reclaimed after the forest land has been cut down.

The ginseng beds are generally spread on the slopes surrounded by forests, and the ginseng beds are lined up in a very neat row, and on sunny days, the ginseng beds are covered with sun-proof curtains.

The ginseng plantation purchased by Jiagu is a small hill that is not cut down like other plantations, and there is still a forest here.

Qi Zheng took a fancy to this place so that the transplanted wild ginseng could grow in a near-natural environment, and the plantation was relatively well protected - the foot of the mountain was surrounded by a fence.

Generally speaking, after a few years of ginseng growth in the mountain land that has been reclaimed after such forest felling, the nutrients for the ginseng are gradually exhausted, and the ginseng must be moved to the newly reclaimed virgin land, otherwise the ginseng will die in large numbers due to malnutrition and other problems.

In other words, two pieces of forest land must be cut down and reclaimed in succession to ensure that the ginseng grows to the point where it can barely be harvested and marketed.

After the plantation was contracted, before it could be cultivated, the contracted ginseng farmers were on the verge of bankruptcy when the price of ginseng plummeted, and they had to transfer the ginseng plantation to Jiagu.

Qi Zheng has the impression that ginseng cultivation requires the reclamation of a large area of forest land every year, which forms a sharp contradiction with the current natural forest protection project.

So the good times didn't last long, and after about a decade, this traditional ginseng plantation was extinct in some areas. Especially in the Tohoku, there are many places that have completely stopped approving the participation of forest land.

Therefore, it is of course not to be missed to be able to circle such a ginseng plantation with relatively superior conditions in advance.

Cui Zhongming is satisfied with this environment, but feels that the possibility of successful transplanting has become a little greater.

Under his guidance, he selected the understory soil area with more humus in the ginseng garden, dug a pit with a depth similar to that of wild ginseng, planted the wild ginseng brought back, and then sprayed water appropriately to moisturize, and then saw if it could adapt to it.

In this way, dozens of century-old wild ginseng, as well as hundreds of wild ginseng from a few years to more than ten years old, finally transplanted from the deep mountains of Changbai Mountain to the ginseng garden in Jiagu after some tossing.
