Chapter 656: Opening up a new medicine field

Chu Xintian heard that ginseng grows at the northern foot of the mountain, and the north is a shady place, which also shows that ginseng also likes yin.

In front of Chu Xintian's house, a large area of saline-alkali land is sunny. There is plenty of sunshine during the day, which is not conducive to the growth of Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng. As a result, the seedlings they planted in their experiments grew slowly and could not be improved.

Fortunately, Chu Xintian quickly figured out the cause and immediately came up with a remedy.

Chu Xintian took the hammer, Li Fusheng and Niu Dazhuang, and carried the axe and the pickaxe into the mountain. In the woods near Mrs. Wolf's house, he found a place and carved out a piece of land.

The area of this plot is not very large, about ten square meters.

It is not too troublesome to open up such a piece of land, just cut down three or four large trees.

Then use a pickaxe to dig up the roots of the tree and level the entire field. There are still forests around the land, tightly wrapped. That way, in the middle of the day, there may be some sunshine. However, once the sun goes down and there is a dense forest covering it, it immediately becomes a cool place.

And the land here, after so many years of leaf erosion, has long been the most fertile land, so there is no need for fertilization. As long as the land is leveled, Chu Xintian feels that everything will grow. Even if she grows it herself, maybe she'll grow a few of her own!

Chu Xintian dug out the seedlings of Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng planted in the experimental field at the foot of the mountain, picked up the small seedlings of these two herbs into the semi-moist soil, and then poured a little water from the deep pool.

Although Chu Xintian chose a shady place for planting He Shou Wu and ginseng, she was still unsure and had been worried. She worries that after a period of transplantation, the seedlings will not grow and will wilt and die one by one. In this way, she will waste her energy.

Therefore, after transplanting the seedlings of He Shou Wu and ginseng to Beishan, Chu Xintian would come to check every day.

After transplanting, the seedlings of Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng were wilted for the first two days. Although Chu Xintian knew that when plants were planted in the field, there would be a process of transplanting seedlings after slowing down, and wilting was a normal reaction, but because she cared too much about these two high-value herbs, she was very worried, afraid that the small seedlings would not survive.

Fortunately, after the third day, when Chu Xintian watered them for the second time, she found that these small He Shou Wu and ginseng seedlings slowly spread their branches and leaves, raised their heads, and regained their strength.

Chu Xintian also has some experience in growing herbs because she has opened up the field of medicine. Seeing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that these little medicinal seedlings were slowing down.

In the following period of time, it was also proved that Chu Xintian's judgment was correct. They planted ginseng and He Shou Wu in the wrong place. The sun is too bright in that place, so it is right to plant in the shade.

He Shou Wu and ginseng were transplanted into a shady field, and after more than ten days of planting, both herbs grew luxuriantly. There is no need for fertilization here. Chu Xintian thought that the best way was to use water from the Black Water Pool for irrigation. The small seedlings can be said to have good growth.

However, even though these two herbaceous plants grow well, Chu Xintian also knows that they are perennial root plants. They are different from those common herbs that are planted at the foot of the mountain. They have a long growth cycle. If we want them to grow into medicine, they can't be in a hurry. We can't guarantee that we will sell it within three to five months.

It's a slow job. Chu Xintian knew this better than anyone else. She also knows how much money can be sold for when these herbs are grown and sold.

Thinking about the future money is beckoning to you, so it's worth the long wait now.
