Chapter 70 Cultivating Ginseng
When Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen came back at noon, Hu handed over the deposit given by Liu Xianghe to the two.
The husband and wife were stunned to see so much money and the same reaction as Hu's previous reaction, the husband and wife had been farming for half their lives, and they had never seen so much money.
"Xiao Chi's acre of ginseng land is really sold for so much money?" Shen Changlin asked with some disbelieving.
"This ...... Isn't this a '10,000 yuan household' after a few years of planting? Gui Shuzhen muttered to herself on the side.
After lunch that day, Shen Changlin surrounded the wasteland around the grove, and even Shen Fang was pulled over to help.
Shen Chi was surprised and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”
"Open up the wasteland and grow ginseng." Shen Changlin replied without raising his head.
Shen Chi's mouth twitched, and his father thought that it was really so easy to make money for ginseng. This ginseng is poured with spiritual water containing the essence of plants and trees, and it is also given birth from time to time.
Nowadays, there are more and more knowledge points required for upgrading, it is difficult to upgrade the level, talent points are rare, and Shen Chi is not the life of the main plus, his energy is very limited, the limit is one acre, and he can't give birth to any more.
But seeing that his father was so active, it was not good to pour cold water on him, so he had to go with him.
Shen Chi came to the woods and secretly urged the "refining technique" to extract the essence of the herbs and trees of an unknown miscellaneous tree, and the small tree died quickly.
Shen Chi didn't refine much, only extracted a few, he planned to slowly get rid of these wild miscellaneous trees, and then find the fruit trees, and kill them all at once, which was too conspicuous.
There are more than 40 miscellaneous trees in the grove, and all of them can harvest a lot of fruit.
The herb essence of wild miscellaneous trees is not as good as salvia, and the quality is also very poor.
The ground around the grove is not easy to cultivate, it is all stones, and the stones are cleaned before opening.
The three of them didn't open up half an acre of land in the afternoon, but Shen Changlin did it quite passionately, not too little, he still had time to build a stone wall along the edge of the ground with the cleared stones.
As the stone was dug more and more, the stone wall became longer and longer, and the yard was higher.
It's a pity that Shen Fang can't help all the time, and he will go to school the next day, but Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen are still enthusiastic, and they will open the ground in the back when they have time.
In the school, Shen Chi was busy with the city's Olympiad competition, and when he had time, he was either brushed up or called to the office by Teacher Duan for tutoring, and the principal also attached great importance to this competition, and even went to the city twice to buy tutoring books for Shen Chi.
Shen Chi got out of school later and later, but no matter how late it was, Sun Tao always waited for him to go home together, and the two went in and out together, and their relationship was getting better and better.
In the tense preparation of the principal, Teacher Duan and Shen Chi, the competition time in the city was finally announced, and this time it was still Teacher Duan who took Shen Chi to participate in the competition.
The venue is set in a technical secondary school in the city, so when the secondary school package is distributed, you can earn money when you come out, unlike high school, you have to take the university entrance examination after studying, and you have to come out of twenty-three or four, so at this time, the technical secondary school is more popular than high school, and the admission score is higher than that of high school.
Because they had to transfer from the county seat, and there were only a few shuttle buses a day, Shen Chi and Teacher Duan set off a day earlier and found a guest house in the city to stay.
Teacher Duan asked for an ordinary room, with several high and low beds in one room, and more than a dozen people slept.
The toilets and washrooms are all in the public area of the corridor, so the comfort is not as good as the later express hotels, but at this time, Shen Chi didn't care about the conditions.
Some people are on a business trip, they sleep as soon as they take off their shoes and go to bed, and they don't even take off their clothes and socks, the smell is very great, Shen Chi doesn't know how Teacher Duan survived, anyway, Shen Chi is extremely good, and he quickly took up the internal breathing technique to fall asleep.
When he got up early the next morning, Mr. Duan woke up Shen Chi and squeezed toothpaste for him to wash his face and brush his teeth.
The arena also set up a special rest point for the teachers who traveled with him, and Teacher Duan was waiting for Shen Chi at the rest point.
Entering the examination room, Shen Chi took the paper and wrote his name, went through the test questions from beginning to end, and then his brain was running like flying, and he calculated quickly, he finished answering the questions in half an hour, and handed in the paper after checking it twice.
When he came out to find Teacher Duan, he excitedly asked Shen Chi, "Is the question difficult?" ”
"Okay." So with his memory, Shen Chi wrote out all the topics.
The two chatted while walking, because they were going back to the county seat, Mr. Duan bought a few meat buns and went to the commissary to buy two bottles of soda.
Because I was in a hurry to leave, I didn't buy a glass bottle, I bought the kind of plastic bottle, the plastic bottle was as soft as a hose, but the spout was sealed, and I had to cut it with scissors when I drank it.
Teacher Duan asked the shopkeeper to cut open a bottle of gas water in his hand, and was about to hand it to Shen Chi, only to see that Shen Chi had instinctively put the bottle into his mouth, biting it hard, turning the bottle in circles with both hands, and biting off the top of the bottle mouth.
Teacher Duan smiled softly, and then brought the soda to his mouth.
The two rushed to the bus station, got into the car section, and the teacher ate steamed buns over and over again, answering Shen Chimo's questions.
"This time the question is a bit difficult, have you done it all?" Teacher Duan asked Shen Chi.
"It's all done." Shen Chi nodded.
Teacher Duan and Shen Chi answered correctly, and found that Shen Chi had answered correctly, and his heart was even more excited, there was no problem in winning a prize in this competition.
The two arrived at the county seat, took advantage of the time to wait for the car, and rushed back to Songzhen at half past four in the afternoon, saying goodbye to go home It was already dinner time.
Seeing that there were no accidents in this competition, Hu Shi and Gui Shuzhen both breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally back, I have been worried about your mother for two days, I am afraid that there will be another accident." ”
Obviously, what happened to Wang Mingjie last time scared everyone a lot.
Hu wanted to give Shen Chi a meal, but Shen Chi hurriedly said that he had already eaten it.
He ate late in the afternoon, and he was not hungry yet.
"When I can go to the competition like you." Sun Tao said with envy.
"If you study hard, you will definitely be able to participate in the competition in the future." Shen Chi encouraged.
At this time, Shen Fang could only eat silently to minimize his sense of existence.
While everyone was eating, Shen Chi fetched a bucket of water and came to the grove behind the house, first used refining techniques to extract the essence of a few miscellaneous trees, diluted it and used it to water the orchid grass, and gave salvia a new life.
When I was about to enter the house, I saw that my parents had opened more than half an acre of wasteland around the grove, and a stone wall seven or eight meters long and more than a foot high had been built next to it.
It seems that my father is very obsessed with growing ginseng. Shen Chi muttered secretly in his heart.
