Chapter 796: Ginseng That Has Been Growing for Nine Years
Xu Haiyuan was only a sophomore in high school, and he participated in the International Chemistry Olympiad and won the gold medal, which caused quite a stir for a while.
Many well-known universities extended olive branches to him, and in the end, Xu Haiyuan chose Bethune Medical University to major in clinical medicine.
In those days, the fame of Union Medical University was not so great.
If you talk about it, the provincial capitals of the three northeastern provinces all have good medical universities, and their reputations are greater than those of Concord.
For example, Bethune Medical University in Ji Province, China Medical University in Liao Province, and Harbin Medical University in Hei Province.
It was a medical school with a red tradition, and it was very famous.
Bethune Medical University is a medical school that has come out of the war-torn era and experienced the baptism of war.
At this time, it can be ranked among the top three schools in the country and produce many talents.
Xu Haiyuan chose Bethune Medical University, one because of Chu Xuanhuai.
After all, Chu Xuanhuai has been the principal of the medical university for so many years, and now his apprentice and grandson are going to study in other schools, which is a bit unreasonable.
Xu Haiyuan studied in the provincial capital for two years, and had a lot of contact with Feng Qiyu, the president of Bethune Medical University, Yuan Jincheng and Chi Hao from the Medical University Hospital.
Feng Qiyu admired Xu Haiyuan very much, and always said that Xu Haiyuan would apply for their school.
The other one is for Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu.
These two are going to study in high school in the provincial capital for three years, Xu Haiyuan is not at ease, he has to keep an eye here.
Therefore, Xu Haiyuan rejected the invitations of several medical schools in the capital and chose Bethune Medical University.
Xu Shiyan and his wife never interfered too much in the choice of their children, and Xu Haiyuan chose wherever he wanted.
It doesn't matter if it's a capital or a provincial capital.
Although Xu Haiyuan has obtained the qualification of medical university, he is still a sophomore in high school.
I didn't finish my third year of high school, and I still have several subjects to take the entrance examination, so I have to study for another year in the attached middle school.
So after the celebration banquet, Xu Haiyuan stayed at home for a few days to accompany his grandparents.
At the end of July, Su Anying and Ji Yufeng accompanied Chu Xuanhuai and their three children back to the provincial capital together.
The two families discussed that they would buy a house in the provincial capital for their children to live in.
Xu Haiyuan wants to study for seven years of clinical studies with a bachelor's and master's degree, plus the third year of high school, that is, he will stay in the provincial capital for at least eight years.
If you want to study for a doctorate or stay in school in the future, you will basically settle in the provincial capital.
Therefore, it is necessary to buy a house in advance and buy it early to save worry.
But it is not so easy to buy a house in this hurry, either it is far away from the school, or the house is not good.
In the end, a patient who came to Zhongcaotang for medical treatment said that his family had two houses that he wanted to sell out, and they were not far away.
When Su Anying heard this, she hurriedly followed the family to see the house.
The residential area is located in the middle of the High School and the Medical University, and it is two houses on the third and fourth floors.
The area is OK, eighty square meters, quite spacious.
The owner has two sons at home, and originally thought that one person would keep it for marriage and start a family, and it is convenient to live upstairs and downstairs.
As a result, neither of these sons stayed in the province, one went abroad, and the other went to the south.
The youngest son works hard to open a company in the south, and the money in his hand is not enough.
The old couple intended to move over with their youngest son, so they wanted to sell the house for their youngest son to use to start a company.
Su Anying and Ji Yufeng took a closer look at the house in the past, no matter the location or room type, the house is quite new, and it has been renovated and no one lives there.
The two parties negotiated the price, found someone to write the contract, and went to the real estate department to handle the transfer.
The third floor is reserved for Chu Xuanhuai, Xu Haiyuan, and Xu Jinping, and the fourth floor is reserved for Yang Haoyu.
Here is a nanny who specializes in cleaning and cooking, and Ji Yufeng plans to study as an accountant in the provincial capital, just to accompany the children.
The house was bought, and the bedding, luggage, pots and pans were purchased.
Everything was settled, and Ji Yufeng also went through the enrollment procedures at the business college.
"Brother and sister, then the children will be handed over to you, and the younger brother and sister have bothered a lot in the past two years."
Su Anying still has a lot of things to do over there, and she really doesn't have time to stay for a long time, so she has to leave after settling down here.
"Sister-in-law, look at what you said, what's the trouble or not? If we say so, it will be too divided.
It's okay, with my third brother and sister-in-law, although rest assured, I will definitely take care of them. ”
Ji Yufeng laughed when he heard it, his son has eaten and lived in the Xu family all these years, and the Xu family has never treated Yang Haoyu as an outsider.
Now that the children are studying outside, she comes to accompany her to study, so naturally she has to take good care of it.
In this way, Su Anying arranged for the provincial capital to leave.
On August 20, the High School officially opened, and Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu also became freshmen in the first year of the High School Affiliated to Normal University.
These two have actually been in the attached middle school for a semester, and the courses in the first year of high school have basically been completed.
In the final test, both of them did very well.
The teachers of all subjects like them very much, and they really take care of them like their own children.
Xu Haiyuan is also a senior in high school, but compared to other senior high school students, who are busy reviewing and preparing for the college entrance examination, Xu Haiyuan is much more relaxed.
Previously, Xu Haiyuan's mathematics and physics teachers had always hoped that Xu Haiyuan could choose another subject to participate in the competition.
But Xu Haiyuan has already won the gold medal in chemistry, and he doesn't want to train hard in the next few days.
Moreover, Xu Haiyuan knows what he is doing in mathematics and physics, even if he participates, it is impossible to reach the level of chemistry, and there is no need to occupy the quota and delay others to play.
In the last year of high school, it is better to take it easy, just learn the relevant courses well, and there is no need to compete for the limelight.
If you have the time to participate in the competition training, it is better to follow Chu Xuanhuai and learn more things.
The school also understands this, and the math teacher and physics teacher can only give up and pick other students to train.
The three big ones all stayed in the provincial capital to study, there are Chu Xuanhuai and Ji Yufeng here, and they also hired people to cook and clean up, and the children don't need to put much effort into their daily lives.
Xu Jinping is already independent and sensible, although Yang Haoyu is a little childish, but with the eldest brother and second sister in charge, he can't make a fuss.
In addition, the learning tasks of the intensive class where the two of them are located are very heavy, and the students are all elite students, and the competition is fierce.
So Yang Haoyu is drowned in the sea of questions all day long, and he has no chance to be a demon.
Here in Donggang, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing are also in the sixth grade in the fall.
The two children's grades are okay, and the participating elementary school is a full-pot promotion to junior high school, so the two of them have no pressure to go to school.
Xu Haiqing's child is a little skinny, he used to be watched by his eldest brother and second sister, and he didn't dare to be too embarrassed.
Now that his brothers and sisters are not at home, Xu Jinhui is too gentle to control him at all.
As soon as school started, this kid began to his tail, and he followed a group of boys in the class to be naughty at every turn, skipping class and sneaking out to roller skate and play billiards.
Once or twice, Xu Jinhui did not hesitate to worry about her younger brother, and only knocked a few words behind her back.
But Xu Haiqing was not afraid of his fourth sister, and he was restless for two days.
As a result, one day this kid ran out again, was caught by Xu Jinhui, picked up the broom sweeping the floor in the class, and whipped Xu Haiqing.
It was only at this time that Xu Haiqing discovered one thing, there was no one to mess with in their family.
Even the fourth sister, who has always been gentle and gentle, is quite scary when she is ruthless.
From September 1st to 5th, Fusong held the 8th Ginseng Festival.
Since the Ginseng Festival was smashed in eight or nine years, the Ginseng Festival has changed from open to small-scale closed, with self-entertaining cultural and sports activities as the content.
In the autumn of '93, with the improvement of the situation, it changed from closed to open.
The theme of the Ginseng Festival in '94 is "Openness, Friendship, and Progress".
In line with the principle of mass participation and self-entertainment, we will carry out all-round and multi-level cultural, artistic, cultural and sports activities.
The participating primary school also selected the program to participate in the ginseng festival performance, and Xu Haiqing performed well in the art show and won the award.
At the celebration meeting of the Ginseng Festival, 12 model collectives and 105 model workers in the county were commended.
During the Ginseng Festival, a seminar on the theory of ginseng culture was also held.
Xu Shiyan was invited to participate in the seminar and discussed the history and culture of Fusong ginseng with a group of experts and guests, and put forward some valuable suggestions and opinions.
During the Ginseng Festival, the Fusong Changbai Mountain Ginseng Museum, located in Donggang Ginseng Company and the first ginseng museum in China, was officially opened.
The museum adopts a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibitions, and exhibits the cultivation and processing of ginseng in detail.
At the same time, it also shows the history of ginseng cultivation and development in Fusong area, especially the evolution of various cultivation methods.
It plays a very important role in the study of ginseng culture in Fusong area.
In this year's ginseng festival, economic and trade activities have also achieved certain results.
More than 100 businessmen from Dongyi, South Korea, Italy and all over the country carried out economic and trade negotiation activities, with a turnover of tens of millions of yuan.
Although it is not as good as the previous record, it is a turning point and a good start.
There is another major event during the ginseng festival, the Wanliang Ginseng Market Trading Building was completed, and a very grand inauguration ceremony was held.
Compared with Xu Shiyan's previous life, the Wanliang ginseng market in this life is exactly two years late.
Regarding the construction of Wanliang Ginseng Market, many people speculated a lot before this, and they all felt that Xu Shiyan might secretly make a stumbling block to prevent it from being built.
After all, there is already a ginseng market in Donggang, and the annual market trading volume is very large.
The stores around the city make a lot of money, and the hotels and restaurants in the city make a lot of money.
In this case, if there is another ginseng market in Fusong, it will definitely take away a lot of passenger flow, and Donggang will not be so profitable in the future.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Xu Shiyan didn't react to this at all, so he didn't do this kind of thing that hurt others and himself.
Through everyone's efforts in the past few years, Fusong ginseng has basically come out of the trough.
Although the price is at most half of what it was in the boom, at least there is no need to worry about sales.
Many ginseng farmers have resumed their enthusiasm for planting and have begun to develop ginseng.
In this case, one more ginseng market can better improve the popularity of Fusong ginseng.
After years of development, Donggangshen City's position has long been stable.
In addition, there are many pharmaceutical factories and health care product factories that have come to grab the goods, even if Wanliang Ginseng City is completed, it will not be able to shake the status of Donggang Ginseng City in the short term.
In the future, the two sides will develop separately, which can promote the market exchange of ginseng, which is a good thing in itself.
In the past few years, Xu Shiyan and others have not stopped planting ginseng at home.
Anyway, it's not much, it's still a hundred or so a year, and they all hire people to work.
In the autumn, the mallet was raised, and the large and good body were directly packed in white foam boxes, and shipped to the capital, Shanghai, and Yangcheng to sell fresh ginseng.
The rest is sent to the processing plant, where it is shipped and sold.
In eight or nine years, Xu Shiyan's family planted a hundred zhang of ginseng, using the planting of the ginseng field in the Liumao River, and the big planting that took root in four years went to the ground.
It stands to reason that this should be involved in making goods since 92, but the market was average at that time.
Xu Shiyan told Su Anying that he couldn't afford to leave fifty zhang of big plants in the ground, and the rest of the ginseng would be used to make goods.
The fifty zhang didn't get up last year, and it's been five years this year.
Despite the two years of topdressing and a special focus on field management, the soil has reached the end of its strength and is particularly susceptible to rot caused by miscellaneous fungi.

At the beginning, eight of the ten trees were planted in the ground, but this year, there are only five or six trees left.
The person who watched the ginseng sent a letter to Xu Shiyan, saying that if he didn't afford it again, he was afraid that it would be rotten next year, so he should get up.
Xu Shiyan pondered it, too, if this is even counted as the ginseng planting period, the mallet will be nine years long.
It's really time, so let's get up.
So on a Sunday, Xu Shiyan and his wife led Xu Haiqing, Xu Jinhui, and the helpers to drive up the mountain to participate.
In previous years, when the family was involved, Xu Shiyan generally did not come in person, and most of them were Xu Shi'an with hired people to work.
Isn't this year special? Xu Shiyan wanted to know what the mallet could look like after nine years, so he followed it up the mountain.
Another one, Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui had a good time when they were in a hurry, and they hardly went up the mountain to work.
Xu Shiyan also wanted to find an opportunity for the two children to give it a try, knowing that it was not easy to make money.
Especially Xu Haiqing, this child is the youngest in the family, and he is the most proficient at getting things done, and he is particularly good at coaxing people with a clever mouth, and he is particularly favored.
Xu Shiyan was worried that this kid had grown up in a honey pot since he was a child, and he didn't know what it was like to endure hardship.
In the future, he will rely on a good mouth to fool around, and he will not be able to live a good life.
So Xu Shiyan brought all the children up the mountain and let them try what it was like to work, which could be regarded as experiencing life.
Since Ji Shengyuan split up, Huang Shengli and others have gone to the south, and Huang Shengkai, Feng Yue, Zhao Jianguo and others are working at home.
Knowing that Xu Shiyan's family was playing with a mallet today, these people were very curious, and they had to come up to help.
"Third brother, this mallet in your house is very strange, why do you have several straws growing on each tree?
It would take several reeds to do this. It's a little weird, how did it grow? ”
As soon as he withdrew from the shed, the big guys saw that something was wrong.
Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard this, this is a small trick he has figured out over the years to increase production, and it has not been promoted.
Every year at the end of July and the beginning of August, ginseng begins to bulge a year's reeds under the ground.
Take advantage of the fact that the reed head is not as big as a grain of rice, directly remove the soil and pick off the bulging reed head by hand.
In this way, the ginseng will bulge the reed head again, and in general, two reed heads will bulge out.
Two reed heads will grow two ginseng stalks, so that the ginseng leaves will also be doubled.
The more ginseng leaves, the stronger the photosynthesis, the sufficient accumulation of substances, and the natural increase in production.
This is very effective, but it is too labor-intensive, and it needs to be manually picked one by one.
Xu Shiyan only did experiments in his own fifty zhang ginseng land, and the others didn't have the leisure to do this at all.
"Let's start with the ginseng and see what this mallet looks like for nine years."
Xu Shiyan smiled, didn't explain directly to everyone, let's get up and look at the output.
The crowd didn't ask much, and hurriedly took the tools and began to participate.
This piece of land was originally planted with large seeds, which grew for another five years, and it is estimated that it will not grow too small.
Xu Shiyan didn't dare to be careless, picked up his three teeth, carefully planed down, and then came out with a large lump of soil.
The three teeth came back, and with a vigorous shake of his hand, most of the loose soil was shaken off, revealing the ginseng buried in the soil.
"I'm a god, third brother, your mallet is too big, right?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ginseng tree exposed in the soil, and then they collectively exclaimed.
"The big radish is not as big as your mallet? How heavy is this one? ”
At this time, Su Anying had already squatted on the ground, picked up the ginseng, and shook the soil on it again.
And they saw that the ginseng was thicker than a man's forearm.
Such a big ginseng has no shape at all, and all the five strands and eight forks are legs and ginseng whiskers.
The whiskers on the neck of the ginseng were as thick as the man's thumb.
"This one is almost more than three pounds heavy." Su Anying swept the mallet in her hand and estimated.
"I'll go, a three-pound hammer, it's really an eye-opener.
It's a pity that there is no auction of the king of ginseng now, if this is put on the previous ginseng festival, this one must not be sold for a minimum of 20,000 yuan? ”
At the original Samwang auction, Su Anying took a ginseng tree of six halves and auctioned it for 2,000 yuan.
This one is much bigger than that one, this is not the king of Sam, this is the ancestor of Sam.
If you put it aside, the price of 20,000 yuan is easy.
"There is no auction at the Ginseng Festival, which doesn't mean we can't hold one ourselves." Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard this.
"Go back tonight, ask your sister-in-law to call those customers quickly, and say that we are going to hold a Shenwang auction in Donggang Shenshi.
Do you believe it or not, there can be a lot of people coming? ”
Playing this, Xu Shiyan is an expert, if he wants to do something, isn't it easy?
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, this can be done.
You call to contact the customer, we advertise in the market, and we will do a show in Donggang market.
I can also take the opportunity to publicize our Donggang market. Everyone thought it was feasible when they heard it, so they all encouraged Su Anying.
"Don't worry, let's get the mallet out first, and see how many big goods can be lifted out of these two strings of ginseng.
If it's too little, it's not worth shouting. ”
You can't call those customers all the way for the sake of three or five mallets, right? It's worth the money for someone else's plane ticket.
"Yes, yes, it's still the sister-in-law who said it. Well, get to work. ”
Everyone came to the spirit and hurriedly carried the three teeth to work.
We all know that there are big goods in the field, and no one dares to be careless, so they pick up the three teeth one by one and carefully plane them down.
If you can't try it once, just try it again and dig deeper.
Then he picked up all the huge clods of earth, and gently kicked the three teeth with his foot, and shook the soil down.
"Hey, this tree is not small, third brother and third sister-in-law, you sent it this time." Over there, Huang Shengkai shouted loudly.
Next, this piece of land will not stop, and the big guys exclaimed one after another.
This mallet is bigger than the other, and it may not be as big as the Xu family's mallet.
The great plant of four years went to the ground, and grew in the ground for another five years.
In the past five years, I have carefully cared for it, and the foliar fertilizer and compound bacterial fertilizer have not been used less, and the reeds have been specially picked, and at least four or five ginseng straws have grown on a ginseng tree.
With so many methods used, can the mallet grow poorly?
When it was first planted, it was 12 centimeters per zhang, and 8 to 10 trees were planted in the ground.
After five years, some of them have rotted, and now there are still five or six trees left in one centimeter, and more than sixty mallets have come out in one zhang.
Don't underestimate these 60 or so, the lowest one has to be more than a pound, the slightly better one is more than two pounds, and the three pounds are also common.
There are also people who get up bigger, estimated to weigh four pounds.
Where is this ginseng, this is more powerful than pulling radishes in the radish field.
The big guy said while working that he was really not blind in the past two years, and he made a lot of money.
Before coming, Xu Shiyan estimated that he could get out a large amount of goods, so he didn't bring a sack, but covered the inside of the cardboard box with plastic film.
Although there are fewer of them in this way, it is safe and will not crush the mallet.
With such a big mallet, even if it falls off a mustache, it hurts.
The big guy here got up cautiously, and someone on the other side simply picked the mallet and packed it.
The main thing is to pick out whether there are rotten scars or damages, as long as there are no obvious hard injuries, they are all packed into the box.
The cardboard box was covered with plastic film, and when the box was filled, the plastic film was sorted out first to make sure that the ginseng inside was completely encased.
Then the cardboard boxes were sealed with tape and paper, and they were all piled on the ground.
Xu Jinhui followed a few aunts to pick up goods and pack boxes, this girl worked carefully, especially upright, and everyone who worked with her praised her.
Xu Haiqing followed Feng Yue and them to work together.
It is impossible for people to let Xu Haiqing pick up the ginseng with three teeth, one is afraid that he will hurt himself, and the other is afraid that he will not be able to plane well and then break the mallet.
So Xu Haiqing squatted in the ground and followed to pick up the mallet.
Don't underestimate picking up the mallet, this job is not easy, squatting for a long time, the legs are numb, and the feet are numb, so you can only kneel on the ground.
But it's hard to kneel on the ground, and after a while you have to get up, hold the mallet and send it to pick up the goods and pack them.
This kneeling toss is quite tiring after a long time.
By the end of the day's work, those legs were as sore as if they had been filled with lead.
A total of fifty zhang, if the average person participates, more than ten people will get up in half a day.
The Xu family is special, don't look at the number of people, there are nearly twenty people. But who dares to gouge out the rough?
Each one had to be careful, and the work was naturally not done quickly, until it was more than five o'clock, and fifty zhang was finally finished.
In the meantime, I also arranged for people to go down the mountain, and bought a lot of cardboard boxes and plastic films.
Otherwise, the ones that you bring up the mountain in the morning will not be enough.
The people carried all the boxes to the car, covered them tightly with bitter cloths, and tied them with thick ropes, and then drove back.
With two large trucks in front and a few light trucks in the back, the convoy drove back to Donggang.
There were so many big sticks and mallets, but I didn't dare to put them at home, so I sent them directly to the underground warehouse in the city to store them.
In the past two years, the large library has undergone several upgrades, and all the anti-theft means that can be used have been used.
In addition to high-tech means such as anti-theft alarms, there is no shortage of traditional housekeeping artifact dogs, and six or seven big wolf dogs are leashed around the warehouse at night.
The guardhouse also arranged for four people to be on duty, and two people worked in shifts at night.
Uncle Li, who was guarding the city, passed away two years ago.
Aunt Li also passed away in her sleep a few months after her wife left.
The old couple had no children or daughters, and Xu Shiyan handled the aftermath, and buried the old couple together on the south fortress mountain.
After settling down here, he instructed the people in the guardhouse to be more careful at night, and everyone left with confidence.
"Let's go, let's go to the hotel, I've booked a table over there."
