Qu's ginseng harvest was abundant, and the family was happy with a smile, and the next few days were brushed and steamed.

The steamed ginseng is placed on a fork, carried to the yard to dry during the day, and sent to the drying room to dry at night.

It is said to be a drying room, but in fact it is the south room of the west wing, with a stove in the house and shelves around it.

Place the fork with the ginseng on the shelf, and use the heat to dry the ginseng on a stove in the middle to speed up the drying speed.

Drying during the day and drying at night, the processing speed is naturally fast, basically three or four days of work, the color of ginseng changes from light yellow to red.

Good red ginseng is not only red in color but also translucent, without white skin and dullness, and the dry ginseng body is round and not shriveled.

Jiakang has been working with ginseng for so many years, and he has enough experience, and the Qu family's ginseng field only leaves one ginseng seed in the second year.

When planting ginseng, the soybean cake powder is used as the base fertilizer, and the soybean cake water is used for top dressing in the second year.

The ginseng grows well, the pulp is sufficient, and the red ginseng made is good in color and beautiful in shape, and it is also weighed, which is considered to be a high-quality red ginseng.

People are not very busy when they participate in the work to the step of drying and drying.

That is, it is carried into the yard during the day, and then carried into the house at night, waiting for the ginseng to dry thoroughly, picking it up from the fork, and grading and packing it.

Jiakang did these jobs sooner or later, and there was no need for Meilin to watch at home, so Meilin and her in-laws went to the countryside to buy dried ginseng.

This is the third year that Mei Lin has purchased ginseng, and the price she gives is higher than others, so many ginseng farmers are willing to keep the goods for her.

In the past two years, the production of ginseng has increased in various places, and it is easier to harvest ginseng.

Although the price is higher, fortunately, Mei Lin has saved some money in the past two years, plus some support from her mother-in-law, but it is okay.

This year, I received a total of 8,000 catties of goods and earned 300,000 yuan, which is also very good.

In the eighth or eighth year, the Qu family started to grow ginseng for 70 zhang, a total of more than 2,000 catties of water ginseng, and his family was too busy to do so, so he could only hire some people to process it.

This year, Meilin bought more than 800 zhang of ginseng soil, and the capital invested in the ginseng field alone is a lot, and there is too much work in the field, and she can't just point to her own house.

Basically, they are hired blind liuzi, who live in the mountains to work as adults, and when they work a lot, Jiakang and Qu Weiyang go over to watch.

With the increase in ginseng cultivation in various places, more and more people are engaged in ginseng trading.

Fortunately, Meilin started early, has abundant funds in hand, has many customers, and is more competitive, and has made no less money this year.

But by this time, Merlin was thinking about something else.

"Mom, what do you say if it's on our side, the whole ginseng trading market?

Now we are going out to sell the goods, if we can attract customers and let them come to us to buy goods, wouldn't it be better? ”

Qiao Lian smiled when she heard Mei Lin's words, "What are you going to do?" Make a ginseng market? It's feasible, but I'm afraid that the procedures are not easy to approve. ”

The ginseng market is indeed a good idea, and with the vigorous development of local ginseng cultivation in recent years, ginseng production has increased dramatically, and it is really not enough to just point at these vendors and buy them back and forth.

It is true that there is a need for a platform that can be bought and sold, and it is imperative to build a ginseng market, but Qiaolian is a little worried that the approval procedures for this market may not be easy to handle.

"Whether it's hard or not, I'm going to have to give it a try.

If this thing is done, it will be our local people who will benefit, and the big guys will benefit, talk about it and try it, if it can be the best.

I don't think the county can not plan at all, this has been held for two ginseng festivals, if there is a larger ginseng market, our county's ginseng industry will be better. ”

Meilin was originally a smart and capable person, and it is not easy to experience over the years, no matter how much her vision and ability have improved a lot, she is determined to do this.

So just after the Spring Festival of '89, as soon as the county went to work, Meilin found people from relevant departments and put forward a request to build a ginseng market in the county.

She is not completely in her own name, but under the banner of foreign joint ventures.

Of course, that foreign businessman is none other than Jingshu.

Jingshu heard that her sister-in-law wanted to build a ginseng market, and the money in her hand was not enough, so she decided to invest with Meilin, and the two of them did something.

Jingshu is just a name, and everything is handled by Meilin.

With the vigorous development of the ginseng industry in Fusong, the sales of ginseng products have always been a major concern for the county leaders.

In fact, the county is also thinking about building a ginseng market, but this investment is not small, and the county can't come up with so much money financially for a while.

was worried, Mei Lin suddenly came over, saying that it was a foreign businessman to invest in the construction of the market, which made the leader very happy, and basically agreed without much effort.

So the two sides reached an agreement, Meilin and foreign businessmen invested a total of 2 million yuan to build a large ginseng trading market in Wanliang Town, 15 kilometers northeast of Fusong.

The reason why Wanliang Town was chosen is that the geographical location here is good, close to the county seat, and it is a traffic artery, and several provincial roads pass through this side.

On the other hand, in recent years, the local ginseng industry in Wanliang has developed rapidly, with a large ginseng planting area and high yield, which is more advantageous than Donggang, an old ginseng producing area.

The address was selected, the funds were in place, and as soon as the spring began, Meilin took people to Wanliang to watch the construction team work.

The ginseng market planned by Meilin is not small, and the area of the market alone is almost tens of thousands of square meters.

The market is surrounded by shops on three sides, with an entrance in the middle and a tall fence behind it.

The second-floor stores are rented or sold for various commercial purposes. The market is divided into various areas, most of which are vacant lots, and a small part is reserved for stalls.

If it's just a market, it doesn't take much effort, and the key is that it takes time and money to build a circle of stores on the periphery.

The market started construction in the early spring and was completed in early autumn, just in time for the delivery of ginseng in the fall of '89.

Under the guidance of her mother-in-law, Meilin carried out propaganda in advance, and even in Jingyu, Changbai, Yanji, Tonghua, Hunjiang and other places.

Inform the local ginseng farmers that the Wanliang ginseng market will be opened in early September 89, which coincides with the Fusong Ginseng Festival and directly shows the ancient ginseng culture to the world.

At the same time, Mei Lin also notified all the customers she could contact and invited them to come to Fusong and Wanliang Market for all-inclusive food and accommodation.

Those customers have not been dealing with Meilin for a year or two, and they all know that Meilin is a very capable, shrewd and capable woman.

Now that we learned that the first ginseng trading market in Northeast China and the largest in the country was open, everyone knew that this was an opportunity, so they arrived before the market opened.

On September 1st, the ginseng market opened, and the relevant leaders were present in person, and the ginseng farmers and merchants were directly face-to-face, and the trading scene was hot.

The stores around the ginseng market have also entered everyone's attention here, with a total of more than 50 stores, all of which have been rented out in less than half a month.
