Gastrodia is generally unearthed around the summer solstice, and then blooms and bears fruit.

At this time, it is much easier to dig gastrodia, so at this time, the mountain runners enter the mountain in groups with bags and pickaxes.

For Xu Shiyan, he now has no time to go into the mountains to dig gastrodia.

He has a more important task, which is to harvest gastrodia seeds and prepare for the next gastrodia breeding.

The cost of propagation by using gastrodia tubers is still higher, and the cost is not as good as seed propagation.

Of course, the technical requirements are also more difficult, and I slowly overcome the experience of groping.

Some of the gastrodia planted in the spring in the field of old ginseng have unearthed flowers, and five to ten flower buds are removed from the top of the inflorescence to reduce nutrient consumption.

In the wild, there will be insect pollination, supplemented by artificial pollination.

After more than 20 days, the fruit ripens and is harvested early for preservation.

The harvested gastrodia seeds are loaded into a seeding tube, sprinkled on the leaves mixed with small solitary germinating bacteria, and mixed well.

After that, the leaves are buried in a bed with fungus according to a certain specification.

Gastrodia seeds germinate, will grow into rice hemp, rice hemp grows to a certain extent transplanting, and after another year or two, you can pick it out and make goods.

This method of reproduction, although more cumbersome, is relatively low-cost, and there is no need to buy gastrodia cubs every year.

"During this period of time, we have done a good job.

Next, I have to be busy. ”

The development of gastrodia and fine spice is only a sideline, and the main business is ginseng cultivation and processing.

So score the main and secondary, and you can't mess up.

"We have purchased tractors and rotary cultivators this year, and the soil can be mechanized without manual plowing, but the requirements are higher.

In our group, some people went up the mountain and were responsible for guiding the machinery to plough the ground, harrow the ground, and ridge raising.

Don't forget one thing, the wheels of the tractor must run strictly along the hanging string line, within the scope of the work track, and are not allowed to cross the pool noodles. ”

As soon as he participated in the field, he purchased four Dongfanghong tractors this spring, as well as rotary cultivators and brush cutters.

It is expected that this autumn will be able to complete the mechanized operation, and the manual work will only be used as an aid. This can greatly save manpower, but there are some drawbacks.

One is that the mechanical turning is not as meticulous as the manual turnover, and the other is that when the tractor is operating, it is the place where the wheels are pressed, and the people are rotten.

No one can explain this problem clearly, but as long as it is a tractor road, it will rot.

In order to prevent this problem, Xu Shiyan specially discussed with Secretary Lin to reduce the operation road, that is, the horse road, to ensure that the tractor road is just on the operation road.

Reducing the width of the working road is not only to cooperate with mechanical soil turning, but also to make rational use of land.

At present, the ginseng operation road is relatively wide, and some horse roads are even wider than the pond surface, which is actually unreasonable and cannot achieve the effective utilization rate of land.

The horse road is just called the horse road, but it doesn't say that it can really run away from the horse, in fact, the width of the horse road is as long as a person can carry a watering can to pass smoothly.

Waiting for another 20 years, when tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of yuan per hectare, the horse road is so narrow that people will not be able to pass.

Now one hectare of land can produce 700 zhang of soil, and in the future, one hectare can produce 1,200 zhang, and it is all money.

There will only be less and less land that can be used to grow ginseng, and if we don't pay attention to rational use now, there will be no land to use in the future, and the ginseng industry will also die.

For this, Xu Shiyan also wrote a special article, "Shrinking the Operational Road and Improving Land Utilization".

This article was published in the journal of the Fusong Ginseng Society some time ago, and it caused a lot of discussion.

The county leaders also attached great importance to it, and specially convened a meeting of the leaders of the participating venues and communes to discuss, and it may be implemented in the whole county next.

"Got it, team leader, a few of us must strictly follow the requirements of the operation, watch the tractor hand work, and never make a mistake." Han Limin and a few others nodded in response.

"Well, participating in the land is one thing, and the other is this year's people participating in the work."

"It's almost time to start the goods again, the processing plant here, the equipment needs to be overhauled in advance, new processes need to be developed, and we have more important things."

"At the end of the comprehensive factory, the development of ginseng flower drinking dew was successful, and the soda factory in Guangzhou Huacheng that cooperated with us also began to put into production.

We can't relax, we have to continue to work hard, ginseng flower dew cola, there are still technical problems to tackle.

All cheered up and could not relax. ”

Ginseng flower dew is a project that Xu Shiyan has been researching since before he came to the field.

And Ginseng Flower Dew Coke was proposed by Xu Shiyan on the basis of Ginseng Dew.

He discussed with Secretary Lin that it was better to build the factory locally, rather than just providing raw materials.

Fusong is a good mountain and a good water, and so many mineral water brands in later generations have built factories here.

If you don't take advantage of such a good resource, what's the point of just providing raw materials to others?

"This year's participation in engineering research mainly starts from two aspects.

One is to develop ginseng instant honey tablets, if this is done, it is similar to a snack, and you can eat a piece anytime and anywhere.

For our domestic people, it's still too luxurious.

However, for foreign countries, especially South Korea and Dongyi, they prefer to eat ginseng products, which is more acceptable. ”

With the current equipment and processing level of the processing plant, deeper processing is not yet possible.

The process of this instant honey flake is not particularly complicated, sliced and marinated with the best honey.

It can be made into canned food, preferably in a single piece of plastic packaging and individual packaging, small snacks, one by one, can be opened and eaten at any time.

Ginseng, which can be used medicinally and edible.

Needless to say, it is necessary to use ginseng rebuilding pills, ginseng big tonic pills, ginseng spleen strengthening pills, etc.

People abroad can also extract ginsenosides, ginsenosides and other ingredients separately to use.

Most of the ordinary eating methods are stewed chicken soup, making tea, cooking porridge, etc., which should be said to be quite troublesome.

This kind of ready-to-eat honey is completely eaten as a small snack, and you can eat it anytime, anywhere, and open a pack.

There is a good honey concocted to remove the fire of ginseng, which can moisturize yin and dryness and increase vitality.

Relatively speaking, it is more popular with some young people, especially those white-collar workers who are busy with work.

As soon as Xu Shiyan introduced this, all the people in the technical group were dumbfounded, and no one thought that there could be such a method.

"Team leader, your method is good, but the ginseng we produced was directly taken away by the provincial medicinal materials company.

In this case, the medicinal herb company has no procurement plan. Someone next to him objected.

Xu Shiyan smiled, "Do you think that with the current momentum of ginseng development in our county, in two or three years, when the output will be doubled, the provincial medicinal materials company will still have the ability to acquire all of them?"

If they can't buy it all, where will the ginseng we have worked so hard to cultivate be sold? ”

A few words frightened the faces of the group of people below.

"Can't you? Ginseng has always been purchased and sold in a unified manner, can the province not buy it?

So if the province can't collect so much, what can we do? ”

In the era of planned economy, ginseng management implemented the policy of unified planning, unified production, unified purchase, and unified sales.

The ginseng produced by Fusong is purchased by the Provincial Medicinal Materials Company and the Provincial Medicine and Health Products Import and Export Company.

However, with the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, the ginseng industry has flourished in various places.

By 1989, the higher authorities issued a document stating that the county would organize the acquisition of the rest of the company, except for the two companies that had been acquired in accordance with the five-year purchase and sale contracts signed previously.

At that time, ginseng production increased rapidly, and the prefecture simply did not have the ability to fully purchase it, which led to a large backlog of ginseng.

Despite the many positive measures taken by the Government at all levels, it has not been possible to salvage the situation.

Since 90, the price of ginseng has plummeted, and in 92 it has fallen to the bottom, and since then, the ginseng market has been in a slump.

And now, the situation has changed.

Because of the fertilizer used in ginseng, the era of large-scale increase in ginseng production is coming.

So, do provincial medicinal material companies and health care product companies still have the ability to acquire the full amount? It may last for a few years, but the outlook is still not optimistic.

Chinese people have a bad habit of following the trend, as long as they see what others are doing to make money, it will cause many people to rush in.

The same is true for ginseng industry, in recent years, ginseng production has increased, ginseng income has increased, and with it, ginseng households have expanded in a large area.

Needless to say, the original participation of each social team, each enterprise and institution either approved the participation of the field, or participated in the field with the forestry department under the Forestry Bureau.

Even primary schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, as long as there is a little money to invest, will be invested.

The blind expansion of ginseng cultivation area has caused the price of ginseng to plummet.

No one buys the ginseng grown, and the ginseng farmers lower the price of each other in order to reduce losses.

Therefore, in the spring of this year, when the county held a commendation meeting, Xu Shiyan proposed that the relevant departments should strictly control the ginseng planting area, and not blindly expand.

However, his remarks were opposed by many people.

Many people feel that Xu Shiyan now has a formal job, and when he leaves the agricultural team, he forgets his roots.

Regardless of the overall situation, it is necessary to restrict the development of others and hinder the county's economic take-off.

This is speaking for the state-run participation in the field, and it wants to monopolize the market, and there is everything to say anyway.

Some opponents almost canceled Xu Shiyan's advanced individual awards.

Fortunately, thanks to the support of the secretary in charge, Xu Shiyan was not punished.

Later, Xu Shiyan came back and talked to Secretary Lin about this issue, and Secretary Lin's thoughts were the same as Xu Shiyan's.

In any field, blind expansion will only lead to a greater crisis.

Therefore, we must take the lead in the first part, and we can't wait until the crisis comes to find a way to break the situation, and then it will be too late.

"The state-run one participates, and the oldest of the four participating fields in the county is the big brother.

Therefore, we must play a leading role, and we, as a technical research department, must take the lead and come up with fist products, and must not let outsiders look down on them.

The product is out, as for the market, we don't have to bother, Secretary Lin and the county secretary will consider it.

What we want to do is to tackle technical problems, and make the products with the highest value, the greatest profits, and the most wanted to buy by customers, which is our task. ”
