With Zhao Dahai interceding, Xu Shiyan also felt that it was not appropriate to offend people at present.

The Xu family can gain a foothold in the big house, all relying on Zhao Dahai, and they can't help but give Zhao Dahai face.

"Chen Deyong, you heard clearly, today is for Uncle Zhao's sake, I will spare you this time, hurry up, don't be an eyesore here."

Hearing this, the young men hurriedly carried Chen Deyong into the car, and the Chen family also slipped away.

Chen Deyong was taken to the commune hospital, where he received injections for three days, and the swelling of the wound subsided and the wound began to heal.

I don't know if there are any sequelae, but I dare to walk on the ground anyway.

The Chen family made two troubles in a row, but they didn't get any cheap, but they annoyed everyone, and they became more and more unpopular in the village.

And the Chen family and the Xu family have also become rivals because of these two incidents.

In the blink of an eye, it is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the crops in the field should be recycled.

The Dongjiang Brigade has a total of about 700 acres of land, and it is very easy to recover it, and the whole village works together, and it doesn't take a few days to collect all the grain.

Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, the sun should be dried, the dry should be dried, and then the beans and bud rice were beaten, and the whole village went into battle together, and they were very busy.

Spring planting and autumn harvest have always been the busiest season in the cropyard.

And for those who go to the township, there is a more important task in autumn, which is to make goods.

The growth of garden ginseng is regular, from seed to ginseng, divided into two stages, a total of six years.

In the autumn of the first year, the open ginseng seeds are sown in the ginseng field.

After three years of growth, it can basically grow into a cigarette roll to the thickness of a finger, which is called ginseng seed.

Ginseng plants come out of the soil in autumn, select those with good head, good body, and no rust scars, replant them in good soil, and grow for another three years before they can start to make goods.

After six years of growth, a ginseng tree can weigh almost one tael or more, and the largest can weigh three or four taels.

It is mainly related to plant size, soil fertility, and post-management.

The medicinal value of ginseng is very high, but the resources of ginseng are very few, as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been garden ginseng planting.

The place names of many places in Fusong are related to ginseng, and most of them are the big ginseng gardens in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Nowadays, all the gardens are owned by the public, and almost all communes and brigades have their own ginseng gardens.

The ginseng land along the Dongjiang River is not much, even the ginseng planting is added together, and the six years are only more than 2,000 zhang, and the goods made back then are only about 500 zhang.

The so-called zhang is a special term for ginseng, which generally refers to the area of one zhang long and five feet wide, which is about five square meters.

Don't underestimate this five-square-meter ginseng land, if you do it well, you can produce sixteen or seven catties of ginseng.

Steamed and dried to make red ginseng, about four catties, according to the current price, it can be sold for about three or four hundred yuan.

Three or four hundred in this year, that's a big deal, otherwise why would all the communes everywhere be working hard to grow ginseng? It's worth so much.

Of course, in later generations, with the use of various fertilizers, the yield of garden ginseng can reach twenty or thirty catties per zhang.

It's just that the price of ginseng is affected by the international situation and fluctuates greatly, and when the price is low, ginseng farmers also lose a lot.

As forest resources become more and more scarce, the market of ginseng has been rising.

"Starting tomorrow, go up the mountain to ginseng, I will roll call below, whoever is named will gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the Qianchuan ginseng land."

On the afternoon of September 20, as soon as everyone was busy beating soybeans and putting them in the warehouse, the captain Yu Shanhai shouted loudly.

Ginseng also has a solar term, early ginseng pulp gas is insufficient, do not press the scales to make goods, and late back to the pulp is not good.

Generally speaking, it is a few days before the autumn equinox, and the mountain goes up to the mountain.

"Xu Shiyan, Xu Shixiang, Yang Chunming, Zhao Jianguo, Zhao Jianjian......" The captain read a long list of lists.

Ginseng is to dig ginseng out of the ground, which requires not only strength, but also patience.

The hands should be steady, and the work is frizzy and frizzy, which is easy to scratch the ginseng rhizome underneath and destroy its value.

Xu Shiyan is known for his meticulousness and stability, and he has the work of raising and planting ginseng every year, and he is the first to be named.

At six o'clock in the morning of September 21, the forty young men who were named gathered in front of the team department, took all kinds of tools for picking ginseng, as well as sacks, drove the carriage, and went straight to the Qianchuan ginseng field.

Qianchuan Shendi is about ten miles away from the village, and it is near the mountain where Xu Shiyan led people to put the mountain before.

The mountain path was bumpy, and the carriage did not go fast, and after half an hour, we finally arrived at the former Sichuan ginseng land.

Nowadays, at this time, there is no special plastic sheeting for ginseng, and most of them are broken into boards made of wood to make ginseng sheds, and then covered with hay or linoleum paper and other waterproof.

So when I looked at it from afar, I saw long black and gray dragons, spreading along the mountain.

As soon as they arrived outside the garden, they heard the dogs barking inside.

The old Li Tou, who was guarding the garden, walked out of the house in the garden with a gun on his shoulder.

Seeing that it was the people in the team, he stepped forward and opened the gate made of tree branches to let everyone enter.

"Uncle Li, this is what my aunt asked me to bring to you, cotton clothes and pants, a change of clothes, as well as pancakes, sauce, pickles, and small fried fish."

When Xu Shiyan saw Lao Li's head, he hurriedly handed over the backpack on his back, which was what Mrs. Li specially packed last night.

"Yo, it's so heavy, my old woman, I don't know how much food she packed for me.

Xiao Xu, thank you, you see that I am on the mountain, and I can't take care of my family, you help take care of it. ”

Lao Li Tou took the backpack and said very politely.

At the end of the year, only when the land is completely frozen in the wax moon can you go down the mountain.

After the New Year, I don't wait for the fifteenth day of the first month, and I have to go up the mountain again, and I am not at home all year round.

It is not an easy job to look at ginseng on this mountain, and you have to prevent people from stealing it, and you have to prevent wild beasts from harming it.

When Lao Li Tou was young, he was a well-known gunner, pointing to hunting and living a life, and his marksmanship was unique.

Later, when I got older, I couldn't do it and couldn't go up the mountain to hunt.

It happened that the team got a ginseng field, so they sent him to see the ginseng, and he earned a lot of work, but he couldn't go home and couldn't take care of his family.

Lao Li Tou knew that Xu Shiyan had a good heart and took care of Mrs. Li everywhere, so he was very polite to Xu Shiyan when he saw him.

"Look at what the uncle said, I live in your house now.

My aunt doesn't want me to rent, and I can eat the vegetables in the vegetable garden, so I should thank my uncle and aunt. Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard this.

"Yes, then neither of us has to be polite to anyone."

Lao Li Tou is a very hearty person, and immediately patted Xu Shiyan's shoulder and laughed.

"Do you want to go into the house and drink water? I just boiled a pot of boiling water, and I happened to have a pot of horses picked in the spring, so I'll make you a pot. ”

Lao Li Tou said that the storm horse, the scientific name should be called storm martinxiang, is a plant in the mountains.

There are no tea trees in the Northeast, and the poor can't afford to drink tea, so they pick up some of the leaves and flowers of the martin fragrance in the spring, and dry them as tea.

This thing nourishes the stomach, and the flowers of the storm martin incense are very fragrant, and the tea is very delicious.

"No, no, we started to participate today, there is a lot of work in the field, let's go and get busy first."

Xu Shiyan waved his hand and followed everyone towards the ginseng land that was shipped this year.
