For the people living in the forest area, the activity of participating in the forest is basically a metropolis. When the villagers of Xinmintun learned that Mushanhe was preparing to take ginseng, they were also very curious about how much ginseng could be produced in this ginseng land contracted by Mushanhe.

As far as the price of garden ginseng this year is concerned, it is a little more expensive than last year. Many people who have taken the risk of contracting land have made a lot of money since this year. And the ginseng land of more than 100 zhang of Mushan River is afraid that it can produce about 2,000 catties of ginseng.

According to the current price of nearly 40 yuan per catty of ginseng, if you can produce 2,000 catties of ginseng, it is an income of nearly 80,000 yuan. In this era, 10,000 yuan households are still rare, let alone 80,000 yuan households?

Although this is the income accumulated over six years, for ordinary rural families, I am afraid that there are not many families whose annual family income can exceed 10,000 yuan. Perhaps because of this, people in forest areas will start to actively plant ginseng.

In the eyes of these growers, as long as they work hard for six years, their families can become rich by selling ginseng. But they never thought that after six years, if the ginseng market plummeted, not to mention the six years of hard work, they might become destitute!

When Mu Xingfu led two carriages and arrived at the ginseng garden of Mushanhe early in the morning, when he saw a few strangers who suddenly appeared, he also stepped forward in time and said, "Shanzi, who are these?" ”

"My friend, knowing that I started to participate today, came over to help, they knew Uncle Erwang. Brother Xuan, this is my Erwang uncle's father, and he is also the old village chief of our Tunzi. ”

"Kimura chief, hello!"

Seeing that Sun Xuan, Zhou Hongjie, and Li Yi all politely stepped forward to say hello, Mu Xingfu was also curious: "Have you ever been a soldier?" ”

"Hmmm! Like Erwang squad leader, we have all been soldiers before. It's just that the Erwang squad leader became a soldier earlier than us. ”

"Oh, that's it! Okay, that's hard work for you. ”

As an elder trusted by Mu Shanhe, Mu Xingfu is naturally qualified to say such things. The other villagers who were called to help were also somewhat surprised when they saw Sun Xuan's three strangers.

But seeing Mu Shanhe, who began to hand out cigarettes and pour water, they also smiled and said: "Shanzi, this time it is finally liberated!" ”

"Yes! Sell the ginseng today, and it will be easy in the future. ”

"Then do you plan to plant ginseng next year?"

"No more planting! Now that there are many people planting, I am afraid that I will not be able to sell it in the future, so I should find something else to do. ”

"Yes! How hard it is to grow ginseng, and when these ginseng are sold, this kid is afraid that he will not have any money to spend. ”

Listening to the villagers' gossip and jokes, Mu Shanhe always kept a smile on his face, and Mu Xingfu also said in a timely manner: "Okay, it's not early, start working in the field, finish the ginseng early, let's go home early." ”

"Okay, get to work!"

Under the guidance of Mu Xingfu, everyone began to enter the garden of Mushan River. Nowadays, most of the garden ginseng rods in the garden have withered and yellowed. The villagers who helped with the ginseng did not need to be instructed to start cutting the ginseng stalks on the ridges.

When the villagers began to ridge and plane ginseng, they saw the garden ginseng that was planed out one after another, and patted off the excess black soil on it, Mu Xingfu said with emotion: "Shanzi, you can do this ginseng!" I have never seen such a good ginseng several times in my life. ”

"Yes! Village chief, I'm afraid this ginseng is half a catty, right? ”

"Almost! Shanzi, if you have ginseng in this garden, many of them are of this condition, and you can ask the purchasing station for a high price. I've heard Seiko say that the red ginseng made from good quality can be much more expensive! ”

Regarding Mu Xingfu's suggestion, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "Well, when I go to the garden of the forest farm to participate in the factory, I will ask Chengbo to help talk." I will definitely not refuse such a good thing if I can sell it for a little more money. ”

The villagers who came to help with the ginseng saw that most of the garden ginseng that was planed out one after another was more than three taels, and a few small ones could be found from time to time. They really haven't seen much of the garden ginseng in such good condition.

In the process of ginseng, some villagers asked from time to time how Mushan River was planted. And Mushanhe did not hide it, and directly said that it would be topdressed every year. The fertilizer used is the fertilizer mixed with soybean cake and deer dung.

Top dressing once a year may be one of the reasons why garden ginseng is so good. But the real reason, Mu Shanhe naturally can't tell it calmly. And this kind of small trick to increase production will also be promoted in forest areas in the future.

Even many deer farms sell deer manure as fertilizer. And Mu Shanhe said that this kind of small trick to increase production can indeed increase the yield of garden ginseng. However, this topdressing also requires a certain amount of technical content.

After listening to Mu Shanhe's narration, some villagers soon said: "Shanzi, you have this technology, so why don't you continue to grow ginseng?" ”

"Alas, it's hard work to grow ginseng, and if you plant it next year, you will have to wait a few years until you want to harvest. I heard Chengbo say that the ginseng land reclaimed by the forest farm in the past two years has been contracted away at a high price, and the labor cost and the price of ginseng are rising.

But what worries me the most is that now not only our county is crazy about planting, but also people in other neighboring counties and even on the other side of the Heihe River have begun to grow ginseng in a large area. It is true that the ginseng is not worried about selling now, but in the future, if there is more ginseng, who will the extra ginseng be sold to? ”

"As long as you participate in it, you shouldn't have to worry about selling, right?"

"I'm afraid that the output will be too much, and the processing plant will not be able to harvest it by then, so who will sell the rest of the ginseng to? Anyway, I don't plant anymore! ”

Taking this opportunity, Mu Shanhe also expressed his worries. As for whether the villagers will listen, that is the business of the villagers themselves. It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words, anyway, he did what he had to do, and the rest was left to fate.

As the ridges of ginseng are turned up, countless garden ginseng buried in the soil are ploughed, and then the remaining black soil is shaken off and thrown into the prepared plastic bag. Seeing bags of sorted garden ginseng, Mu Shanhe also felt quite happy.

But when the villagers picked up the garden ginseng, Mu Shanhe deliberately picked out the ones that weighed more than half a catty. He didn't plan to sell these high-quality garden ginseng to ginseng factories, but planned to use them for making wine or as medicinal herbs.

Even if the largest ginseng is picked out and the remaining garden ginseng is cut out, the villagers in charge of sorting it feel that the quality is better than that of other ginseng gardens. Such a good garden ginseng can naturally be sold at a higher price.

On the other hand, Zhou Hongjie, who was in charge of preparing lunch, looked at Mu Shanhe, who was squatting in the garden and laughing and playing with the villagers, and also sighed that this little boss had a really changeable personality. I don't know which side is his truest appearance.

Because there were more people who called, the work that was originally going to be done in one day was slightly delayed at noon, and all the garden ginseng of more than 100 zhang was finished. Seeing the ginseng that was being bagged one after another, Mu Shanhe also felt a sense of accomplishment.

Not surprisingly, these gardens must weigh more than two thousand catties when they are joined together. At present, the ginseng garden in the forest area, the output of ginseng per zhang garden is about 20 catties. More than twenty catties, it must be a skilled grower.

"Grandpa Mu, thank you for your hard work, hurry up and wash your hands or smoke a cigarette, let's get ready for dinner."

"Okay, then we will also eat your harvest feast today."

When they were working in the past, many villagers smelled the aroma of stewed meat in the pot. There are even villagers who can smell by the smell of meat, it is not the common pork, but the mutton, which is more expensive than pork.

From Mushanhe to prepare such a sumptuous banquet and invite these villagers who helped to eat, it shows that he is not a stingy person. Even many people feel that Mu Shanhe will definitely become a famous person in the forest area in the future, just like his grandfather.

If earlier, they were worried about Mu Shanhe, who was alone, and they didn't know how to live in the future. Now that the ginseng is over, all the villagers know that this kid's future life will be better than all of them.

In these years, as long as you have money in your pocket, are you still afraid that you won't have a good life?

If it weren't for Mu Shanhe's young age, I'm afraid that the news of selling out ginseng would spread, and many families with daughters in the forest area would want to find a matchmaker to come over and marry Mu Shanhe!
