The house was built, and the rest of the work Zhou An and himself did it slowly, so the next day Zhou Anguo and Zhou Antai led their wives and children home.

Zhou Tiantian and the others were tired and couldn't stand it these days, so they rested at home for three days.

Three days later, Zhenyuan and the others estimated that each family had almost finished picking the ginseng seeds, so they planned to go up the mountain to pick up the leaks.

According to the terminology of the ginseng industry, it is called a ginseng seed.

The Han Zhenyuan brothers go up the mountain every year at this time, and the Han family never stops them.

Anyway, the children get back with their ability, no matter how much they sell, they don't want it at home, and they keep pocket money for them.

What is different from previous years this year is that there are more Zhou Tiantian, Zhou Yanyan and Chang Yanzhe.

Although this matter is conventional, it is not easy to make public after all.

It happened that Jiang Juntao was going to preview the class of the second year of high school, and Jiang Junqi had not finished his summer vacation homework, so he was punished by Cao's for writing homework at home.

So he didn't tell these two people, Chang Yanzhe only said that he wanted to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Early in the morning of August 10th, Zhenyuan, Zhenhui, Zhou Tiantian, Zhou Yanyan, and Chang Yanzhe went up the mountain with a lot of food.

Brother Han Zhenyuan does this every year, so he is naturally familiar with the road.

After arriving at the mountain, he commanded Zhou Yanyan and others, each holding a small basket, to the ginseng field where this year's goods were made.

Flip open the dense ginseng leaves, and rummage through the inside to find the ginseng seeds that are as smooth and full as red coral beads.

Ginseng flowers belong to umbel-shaped inflorescences, and the ginseng seeds grow on umbel-shaped flower stalks, and each one is red and red.

When picking ginseng seeds, you should pick them together with the umbrella-shaped flower stalk below, and you can't pick the ginseng seeds directly, otherwise the ripe ginseng seeds will easily fall into the soil.

Fortunately, this job is not difficult, and Zhou Tiantian and Zhou Yanyan quickly mastered the skills.

There are naturally not so many ginseng seeds that leak out, some have three or five flowers per zhang, and some can meet more than a dozen flowers per zhang.

This depends on whether the person who pinched the ginseng flower worked carefully, if he caught up with the careless worker, he could really meet a lot.

When ginseng grows to make goods, it generally grows in the soil for six years, and compared with those five years, the ginseng seeds are larger and fuller, which is very gratifying.

Everyone is very patient, just turn it slowly one foot at a time, and you can pick up a large basket full in the morning.

The whole children's ginseng field is 10,000 feet of mallets made this autumn, and these ginseng seeds alone are enough for the children to rummage for a few days.

Picking ginseng seeds during the day, stopping at four or five o'clock in the afternoon to go back to wash ginseng seeds.

The ginseng seeds are wrapped in a layer of peel, which needs to be separated and cleaned before the seeds can be dried.

To wash ginseng seeds, you first need to pluck the ginseng seeds off the flower stalks, put them in a bag, and then take off your shoes and socks and step on them.

Ripe ginseng seeds have a fragile skin that can be easily broken off, and then a reddish-brown slurry will flow out of the pocket.

Originally, Han Zhenyuan said that he was going to the river to wash, so it was not troublesome, and while stepping on it, the slurry was washed away with the river.

But Chang Yanzhe didn't let him, he said that the layer of peel outside the ginseng seed contains a lot of beneficial substances, which can be extracted into medicine and can also be used as skin care products.

Han Zhenyuan heard that he had no choice but to step on the ginseng seeds on the side of the house.

They made a special trough with a wooden plank on top of it, and on top of it was a bag with ginseng seeds.

When people stepped on it, the juice was left in the trough, and Chang Yanzhe found a way to collect the juice, and after going back down the mountain, he tried to extract the active ingredients inside.

"Sixth brother, do you see that I have almost stepped on this bag?"

Zhou Tiantian and Chang Yanzhe stepped on a bag for a long time, so they opened the bag and let Han Zhenyuan see if it was okay.

"Well, okay, you two can add water to clean this."

Han Zhenyuan took a look, and the red fruit was no longer visible in his pocket, and the seeds and flesh had been separated.

nodded and asked Zhou Tiantian to pour the ginseng seeds into a basin and add water to rinse them.

Rinse with water several times, then use a fence to fish out all the floating ones, keep the ones that sink to the bottom, and lay them on a sieve lined with gauze to dry.

"Control the water like this tonight, let's collect it early tomorrow morning, and when my dad comes, let him take it down, my milk knows how to dry it."

Ginseng seeds should not be exposed to the sun, so the kernels inside are roasted and dried in a cool place.

There are not so many sieves on the mountain, and the other one is not good for others to see the Han family drying so many ginseng seeds, so the best way is to send them down the mountain and let Mrs. Han watch them dry at home.

Don't look at picking ginseng seeds seems to be very easy, in fact, it is not easy, you have to kneel on the surface of the pool, that is, go to the ground to pick.

Especially if there are few ginseng seeds, this one and that one, you have to walk under the ginseng shed with your waist bent, or you will kneel and move forward.

At the end of the day, my waist and legs can't stand it.

In addition, it is quite laborious to wash ginseng seeds at night, so when everything is done, the big guys are tired and lie on the kang and don't want to move.

In the middle of August, there is still a month before the ginseng field, and the ginseng at this time is growing and sizing like crazy.

From then on, it is also the most difficult time to see ginseng, and there will always be some thieves who are worried about valuable ginseng.

So Han Liwei, Han Liren, and Han Zhensheng had dinner at home, and they would all go up to the mountain to live, and even Zhou Anhe came over in the evening.

Anyway, he had to dig the soil on the other side of the field, and it was closer to this end, and even if he walked there in the morning, it would be faster than driving down the mountain.

There isn't much work under the mountain now, so Zhou Anhe let Han Caiying stay at home, he went to dig soil during the day, and came here to live at night, helping a group of fathers-in-law by the way.

After all, this is a ginseng garden, according to 10,000 zhang a year, a three-year cycle, this piece will also be more than 30,000 zhang.

Such a large piece of ginseng land, there are houses in all four corners.

In the evening, the three Han Liren brothers each lived in one place, and Han Zhensheng and Zhou Anhe lived in one place.

As soon as there is any movement, they will be grabbed, and those from other directions will come to support when they hear the movement.

In the big house in the middle, the east house lives Old Man Han and Zhenyuan, Zhenhui, and Chang Yanzhe, and the west house lives Zhou Tiantian and Zhou Yanyan.

The children are tired during the day, and they fall asleep quickly when they lie down, but Old Man Han can't sleep, he has to guard the first half of the night, and at night he has to lead the dog around for a walk.

Zhou Tiantian was on the mountain, so Ah Tai naturally didn't sleep with Ah Huang, but let Zhou Tiantian sleep in his arms.

Zhou Tiantian slept until midnight, and he didn't know what dreams he had, so he sat up all of a sudden.

Atai, who was originally sleeping with her in her arms, was also awakened, his ears didn't know how to move, and his big green eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

Ah Tai jumped to the ground without saying a word, opened the door and walked out.

When Atai came outside, he let out a loud roar in the direction of the northeast, and then sped away towards the northeast.

The sleeping children in the house were awakened by Atai's tiger roar, "Sixth brother, get up and take a look, something is wrong with Atai's screaming, it should have discovered something." ”

Zhou Tiantian sat up in a daze just now, but in fact, she didn't wake up at that time, but she really woke up at this time, and hurriedly shouted.
