Chapter 160: The Abandoned Ginseng Land

Zhou Anhe and the others went up the mountain to work for a busy day, they were all tired and hungry, not to mention gobbling up the food, and they were almost gone, and they finished eating quickly.

After dinner, Zhou Anhe was not idle, and he had to prepare things for working in the field, and Han Caiying took out all the dirty clothes to wash.

Zhou Tiantian went home and was busy cooking, and her homework hadn't been written yet, so she went back to the house to do her homework.

As he was writing, he heard movement outside, "Little sister, brother-in-law, are you back?" As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that this was my eldest aunt Liu.

Han Caiying heard the movement and hurriedly came out, and saw that it was her mother, Mrs. Han, who led her three daughters-in-law over.

"Mom, sister-in-law, what are you?" It's a big night, my mother and sister-in-law come over, is there something wrong?

"Come into the house, and all come into the house and talk." No matter what you're here for, you can't stand in the courtyard and talk, Han Chaeyoung hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house.

Mrs. Han and Mrs. Liu followed into the room and sat down, and then said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just came to discuss something with you."

That's the case, didn't our family charter a ginseng site to see ginseng this year? Last year, more than 10,000 mallets were set up in the garden, and the vacant land was idle.

Don't care about those vacant fields, your father asked the second child to come back with a letter and ask, do we want to go up and plant some land. ”

"Our family has been fiddling with mallets all these years, and the set of work of farming is almost the same, what can be planted in the field? No matter how to plant, the family is a little confused.

I'm here to ask you and Anhe, do you want to go up and farm with us? There's a lot of land, and we can't grow it ourselves. ”

It takes three years to plant ginseng, and after three years, the land is no longer usable, and the trees can only be replanted.

In the first few years, this sapling was very small and did not affect the planting of crops, so Old Man Han made up his mind to plant something.

10,000 zhang of ginseng soil, which is equivalent to 150 acres of land, how can the Han family be able to plant so much, so they want to find Zhou Anhe and wait for the autumn harvest of some crops, isn't it good?

When Han Caiying and Zhou Anhe heard this, they were naturally very happy, their own family only had a total of five acres of land, of which only Liu Zonglin's two acres of land were considered first-class land, and the eldest lady's Ergou and Xitou paddy fields were second-class and third-class places.

Especially the paddy field, which used to be a waterlogged field, the soil was cold, and the land was not very grainy, and the yield was low.

The soil is fertile and soft, so it is good land.

Of course, not everything can be planted in the field, generally speaking, soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other types of crops are very good, and the yield is high.

Especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are big and sandy, are particularly delicious, but planting corn and sorghum or something is average, and it can be done anyway.

No matter what you plant, what about this 150 acres of land, if you take care of it, you can harvest a lot of grain in the autumn, how good is it?

"Okay, so what's not to do? If there is land to plant, we would like to do it.

Mom, this kind of ginseng soil is the best way to grow soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., I think it is better for us to grow more.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to fiddle with, and we can't eat them at home in autumn, so we can sell them in the market.

Needless to say, soybeans, in winter, we send some bean sprouts to the market, and we can earn 1,800 in winter, and it was only a few days after the Chinese New Year last year, so we earned four or five hundred, how good? ”

Han Caiying's brain is fast, and she will post it at once, and the best thing to do is to plant soybeans, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which can be exchanged for money.

Isn't it good to buy rice and white noodles when you have money? Do you have to plant bud rice sorghum?

"If you want me to say, there are still a variety of soybeans, one can be sold raw bean sprouts, and the other can also be oiled.

The soybean cake left over from the oil was crushed, and the spring fertilizer, whether it was base fertilizer or top dressing, was very good in the ginseng field.

Needless to say, one zhang produces more than three or five catties of mallets, which is stronger than anything else. Over there, Zhou Anhe's eyes also lit up, and he said very happily.

The Zhou family is a land-sitting household in Donggang, and they have been a ginseng household for many years, and they have a very good set of ginseng planting.

In the past, when there was no commune, Mrs. Zhou planted ginseng and used soybean cake to fatten and make a lot of money.

But later, there was a commune, and the ginseng land became publicly-owned, and how to plant it had to be arranged by the leadership. Besides, at that time in the commune, the soybeans had to be handed over for export, where was the remaining one left for ginseng top dressing?

Therefore, the method that has been passed down by the Zhou family for several generations is useless. Now that Zhou Anhe heard that there was a place to farm, he remembered this matter, and he only felt that this was a good thing to count in one fell swoop.

"Oh, listen to it, how do we understand this? If you hadn't come here and tell your sister and brother-in-law, where would we know this? When Mrs. Han heard this, she patted her thigh happily and smiled.

The Han family used to open a dart game, and then came to Donggang, and when they came here, they mainly guarded the ginseng garden for the big ginseng households, and they were naturally not as experienced as the Zhou family in planting ginseng.

Just like this trick of topdressing bean cakes, the Han family really doesn't know, and Mrs. Han has never heard of it before.

"I didn't come in vain tonight, I learned another trick. So, as you said, let's grow soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

In the past few days, you have taken a little effort to help Zhang Luo, buy more potatoes, sweet potato seeds, and soybean seeds.

Get ready, let's rush to the May Day holiday for a few days, go up the mountain together, and the big guys will start farming, and strive to finish it as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Han arranged this way, mainly because the students had three days off on May Day, so that these children could go up the mountain to help.

You can always grab most of it in three days, and then do the rest slowly.

Mrs. Han's arrangement is quite reasonable, and everyone has no other opinions, so the matter is settled.

"Anhe, you can take my little money, go and dig for more seeds, we have to plant so much land, the seeds are not enough, it is a pity that those lands are wasted."

Since it is said that it is a partnership between the two families, it is naturally not good to let Zhou Anhe pay for seeds.

How can Zhou Anhe accept the money from his mother-in-law? "Mom, no, I divided a lot of beans when I split up, it's good to pick one as a bean seed, and then go to Taocheng if it's not enough."

Potatoes are not valuable, sweet potatoes are easier, don't my cousin's family live in a big house? There are sweet potatoes planted at that end, and I'll just pull some sweet potato seedlings in a few days.

Don't give money, my family has taken care of me all these years, and they think of me everywhere to take care of me, and I have to give money for this little thing, where do you put my face? Zhou Anhe rejected Mrs. Han with a smile.

My uncle said so, and Mrs. Han is not easy to shoehorn, so she will have the opportunity to make up for it elsewhere in the future.

"Well, if you say so, I'll take it first. Oh, it's not early, you're tired enough from a busy day, so let's do it, hurry up and rest. ”

The matter had already been said, and it was not too early, so Mrs. Han led her daughter-in-law and hurried away.
