Chapter 796 Nine-year-grown ginseng

  Xu Haiyuan was only a sophomore in high school, and he participated in the International Olympic Chemistry Competition and won the gold medal, which caused quite a stir for a while.

  Many well-known universities extended olive branches to him. In the end, Xu Haiyuan chose the clinical medicine major of Bethune University of Medical Sciences.

  In this day and age, Peking Union Medical College is not that famous yet.

   Speaking of it, the capitals of the three northeastern provinces all have good medical universities, all of which are more famous than Xiehe.

  For example, Bethune Medical University in Kyrgyzstan Province, China Medical University in Liao Province, and Harbin Medical University in Heilongjiang Province.

   Those are medical schools with a red tradition, very famous.

   Bethune University of Medical Sciences, 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 with a large number of talents.

  Xu Haiyuan chose Bethune University of Medical Sciences because of Chu Xuanhuai.

   After all, Chu Xuanhuai has been the principal of the University of Medical Sciences for so many years, but now his disciples are going to study in other schools, which is a bit unreasonable.

  Xu Haiyuan studied in the provincial capital for the past two years, and had a lot of contact with Feng Qiyu, the principal of Bethune Medical University, Yuan Jincheng, Chi Hao and others from the Medical University Hospital.

  Feng Qiyu admired Xu Haiyuan very much, and always said that Xu Haiyuan should apply for their school.

   Another one is for Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu.

  These two will study in the provincial capital for three years in high school, Xu Haiyuan is not at ease, he has to watch here.

  So Xu Haiyuan rejected the invitations from several medical schools in the capital and chose Bethune University of Medicine and Science.

  Xu Shiyan and his wife have never interfered too much in the choice of their children, Xu Haiyuan can choose wherever he wants.

  It doesn't matter whether it is the capital or the provincial capital.

  Although Xu Haiyuan has obtained the admission qualification of the University of Medical Sciences, he is still a sophomore in high school.

  I haven’t finished my third year of senior high school, and I still have to take the exam for several subjects, so I have to study in the attached middle school for another year.

  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.

  The two families have discussed that they will buy a house in the provincial capital for the children to live in.

  Xu Haiyuan has to study seven years of undergraduate and master's clinical studies, plus the third year of high school, that is, he must 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.

  So it is very necessary to buy a house in advance, and buy early to save worry.

  But it is not so easy to buy a house in a hurry. Either it is far away from the school, or the house is not good.

  In the end, the patient who came to Zhongcaotang said that his family had two houses that he wanted to sell, and they were not far away.

  As soon as Su Anying heard this, she quickly followed him to see the house.

  The residential area is right between the attached middle school and the University of Medical Sciences. There are two houses on the third and fourth floors.

  The area is not bad, about 80 square meters, quite spacious.

  The owner has two sons at home. Originally, he thought that one person would have a set for married couples, and it would be convenient to live upstairs and downstairs.

   As a result, neither of the two sons stayed in the province, one went abroad, and the other went to the south.

  The youngest son is working hard to start a company in the south, and the money in his hand is not enough.

  The old couple intends to move there to live with their youngest son, so they want to sell the house for the youngest son to start a company.

  Su Anying and Ji Yufeng went to look at the house carefully. It doesn't matter the location or the type of room. The house is quite new and has been renovated and no one lives there.

  The two sides negotiated a good 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, we hire a nanny for cleaning and cooking. In addition, Ji Yufeng plans to study accounting in the provincial capital, just to accompany the children.

  I bought a house, bought bedding, luggage, pots and pans.

  Everything was settled properly, and Ji Yufeng also went through the admission procedures at the business school.

   "Siblings and sisters, I will leave the children to you. Please trouble your siblings for 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. After she settles down here, she has to leave.

   "Sister-in-law see what you said, is there any trouble? If our two families say that, it would be too estranged.

  It’s okay, don’t worry if I’m with my third brother and sister-in-law, I’ll take good care of them. "

  Ji Yufeng laughed when he heard it. His son lived and ate in the Xu family all these years, and the Xu family never regarded Yang Haoyu as an outsider.

   Now that the children are all studying abroad, she will naturally take good care of them when she comes to accompany them.

   Just like that, Su Anying made arrangements to leave the provincial capital properly.

   On August 20th, the attached high school officially started, and Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu also became freshmen in the first year of the attached high school.

  These two have actually been studying in the attached high school for a semester, and they have basically finished the courses in the first year of high school.

   During the final exam, both of them got very good grades.

  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 high school student, but compared to other senior high school students who are busy with reviewing and preparing for the college entrance examination, Xu Haiyuan is much more relaxed.

  Before, Xu Haiyuan's mathematics and physics teachers 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 practice hard to solve the problems in the next days.

  Furthermore, Xu Haiyuan knew his mathematics and physics. Even if he participated, he would not be able to reach the level of chemistry. There is no need to hold up the quota to delay others' performance.

   In the last year of high school, it’s better to take it easy, just learn the relevant courses well, and there is no need to compete for others to win the limelight.

  If you have the time to participate in competition training, why not follow Chu Xuanhuai and learn more.

  The school also expressed its understanding of this, and the math teacher and physics teacher could only give up and pick other students to train.

  The three older ones all stay in the provincial capital to study. There are Chu Xuanhuai and Ji Yufeng here, and they also hire someone to cook and clean up. The children don’t need to spend much time in daily life.

  Xu Jinping was already independent and sensible. Although Yang Haoyu was a bit childish, but with his eldest brother and second sister in charge, he couldn't make trouble.

   In addition, the intensive class the two of them are in has a heavy learning task, and the students are all elite students, and the competition is fierce.

  So Yang Haoyu was submerged in the sea of ​​questions all day long, and had no chance to be a demon.

  Donggang, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing are also in the sixth grade in autumn.

  The grades of the two children are not bad, and the participating elementary school is promoted to the junior high school by all means, so the two have no pressure to go to school.

  Xu Haiqing is a little naughty kid, he didn't dare to be too embarrassing when his older brother and second sister watched him before.

  Now that her brother and sister are not at home, Xu Jinhui is too gentle to control him at all.

  This kid started to **** his tail as soon as school started, and he would follow a group of boys in the class to be mischievous, skipping class and sneaking out to roller-skate and play billiards.

  Once or twice, Xu Jinhui didn't hesitate to argue with her younger brother, only typing a few words behind her back.

  But Xu Haiqing is not afraid of his fourth sister, who has been restless for two days.

   As a result, one day this kid ran out again, and was caught by Xu Jinhui, who swung the broom for sweeping the floor in the class, and whipped Xu Haiqing.

   It was only then that Xu Haiqing realized that there was no one in their family to mess with.

   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 failed in 1989, the ginseng festival has changed from open to small-scale closed, with cultural and sports activities for self-entertainment as the content.

  In the autumn of 1993, with the improvement of the situation, it changed from closed to open.

  The Ginseng Festival in 1994 took "Openness, Friendship, and Endeavor" as its theme.

  In line with the principle of mass participation and self-entertainment, carry out all-round and multi-level cultural, artistic and cultural and sports activities.

  Shenchang Primary School also selected a program to participate in the performance of the Ginseng Festival. Xu Haiqing performed well in the art performance and won an award.

   At the ginseng festival celebration meeting, twelve model collectives and 105 model workers in the county were commended.

   During the ginseng festival, a seminar on ginseng culture theory was also held.

  Xu Shiyan was invited to participate in the seminar, 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, located in Donggang Ginseng Company, the first domestic ginseng museum - Fusong Changbaishan Ginseng Museum officially opened.

  The museum uses a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibitions to display the cultivation and processing of ginseng in detail.

   At the same time, it also shows people 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.

  This year's Ginseng Festival, economic and trade activities have also achieved certain results.

  More than 100 merchants from Dongyi, South Korea, Italy and all over the country conducted economic and trade negotiations, 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.

   During the Ginseng Festival, there was another big event. The Wanliang Ginseng Market Trading Building was completed, and a grand inauguration ceremony was held.

  Compared to Xu Shiyan's previous life, Wanliang's ginseng market is exactly two years behind in this life.

   Regarding the construction of the Wanliang Ginseng Market, many people had speculated a lot before that, and they all thought that Xu Shiyan might be secretly trying to prevent the construction.

   After all, there is already a ginseng market in Donggang, and the annual market transaction volume is very large.

  The stores around Canshi make a lot of money, and the hotels and restaurants in Canshi make a lot of money.

  In this case, if there is another ginseng market in Fusong, it will definitely divert a lot of passenger traffic, and Donggang will not make so much money in the future.

   But contrary to everyone's expectations, Xu Shiyan didn't react at all to this, so he didn't do such things that hurt others and benefit himself.

  Through everyone's hard work 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 prosperous period, at least there is no need to worry about sales.

  Many ginseng farmers regained their enthusiasm for planting and began to develop ginseng.

  In this case, one more ginseng market can better improve the popularity of Fusong ginseng.

  After years of development, Donggang Sanshi has already stabilized its position.

  In addition, there are still many pharmaceutical factories and health care product factories coming to grab goods. Even if Wanliang Ginseng Market is completed, it will not be able to shake the position of Donggang Ginseng Market in the short term.

  In the future, the respective development of the two parties will further promote the market exchange of ginseng, which is a good thing in itself.

  In the past few years, Xu Shiyan and his family have not stopped planting ginseng.

   Anyway, there are not many, and it is still a hundred feet a year, all of which are hired people to work.

  In autumn, the mallets are played, and the big and good-looking ginseng are packed in white foam boxes and shipped to the capital, Shanghai stock market, and Yangcheng to sell fresh ginseng.

  The rest are sent to the processing factory, and after processing, they will be shipped and sold.

  In 1989, Xu Shiyan's family planted a hundred feet of ginseng, using the same seeds from the ginseng field in Liumaohe, and the big seeds that took root in four years went to the ground.

   Logically, this should have been a product since 1992, but the market was mediocre at that time.

  Xu Shiyan told Su Anying that it would be unacceptable for those who left fifty-foot-long seeds to go to the ground, and the others would be used as ginseng to make goods.

  The fifty feet did not rise last year, and it will be five years this year.

  Although I have been topdressing and paying special attention to field management in the past two years, the power of the soil has come to an end, and it is also particularly susceptible to infection by miscellaneous bacteria that cause rot.

  At the beginning, ten or eight trees fell to the ground per centimeter, but this year there are only five or six trees left per centimeter.

  The person who watched the ginseng sent a letter to Xu Shiyan, saying that if he couldn't afford it again, he might all be rotten next year, so let's get up.

  Xu Shiyan thinks about it too. If you count the period of Shen Zaizi, the club will be nine years old.

  It’s true that it’s time, so let’s get up.

  So on a Sunday, Xu Shiyan and his wife led Xu Haiqing, Xu Jinhui, and some helpers, and drove up the mountain to participate in the pilgrimage.

  In the past years, Xu Shiyan usually did not come to participate in the family. Most of them were Xu Shian and hired people to work.

   Isn’t this year special? Xu Shiyan wanted to know what the nine-year-old stick would look like, so he followed him up the mountain.

  One more thing, Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui had a good time driving, and they hardly went to the mountains to do work.

  Xu Shiyan also wanted to find an opportunity to let the two children have a try, knowing that it is not easy to make money.

  Especially Xu Haiqing, the child is the youngest in the family, and the most troublesome, with a clever mouth, he is especially good at coaxing people, and he is especially favored.

  Xu Shiyan was worried that this kid grew up in a honey jar, and he didn't know what it was to suffer.

  In the future, relying on a good mouth to fool around, it will not be a good life.

  So Xu Shiyan brought all the children up the mountain to let them try what it's like to work, which can be regarded as experiencing life.

  Since Ji Shengyuan separated, Huang Shengli and others have all gone to the south, and the family workers are Huang Shengkai, Feng Yue, Zhao Jianguo and others.

  Knowing that Xu Shiyan's family played a club today, these people are very curious and must come up to help.

   "Third brother, the sticks in your house are quite strange, why are there several straws growing on each tree?

   There must be several reed heads underneath to do this. It's a bit weird, how did it grow out? "

  As soon as the ginseng shed was withdrawn, the big guys noticed something was wrong.

  Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard the words. This is a small coup he has thought up over the years to increase production, but he has never promoted it.

   Every year at the end of July and the beginning of August, ginseng begins to bulge the next year's reed heads underground.

   While the bulging reed heads are not as big as rice grains, directly push the soil away, and pick off the bulging reed heads with your hands.

  In this way, the ginseng will bulge the reed head again, and under normal circumstances, two reed heads will bulge out.

  If there are two reed heads, two ginseng stalks will grow, so that the ginseng leaves will double.

  The more ginseng leaves, the stronger the photosynthesis, the sufficient material accumulation, and the natural increase in production.

  This is very effective, but it is too labor-intensive, requiring manual picking of reed heads one by one.

  Xu Shiyan only did experiments in his own 50-foot-tall land, and he didn't have the heart to do so at all.

   "Let's get started first, and see what this nine-year-old mallet looks like."

  Xu Shiyan smiled, and didn't explain directly to everyone. Let's get out of the stick and see the production volume.

  Everyone didn't ask much, and quickly took the tools and started to participate.

  In the beginning, the ginseng was planted with big seeds. After five years of growing, it is estimated that the ginseng will not grow too small.

  Xu Shiyan didn't dare to be careless, he swung his three teeth, carefully dug it down, and then came out with a big lump of soil.

  Through the back of the three teeth, he shook his hand vigorously, and then most of the loose soil was shaken off, revealing the ginseng buried in the soil.

   "My god, third brother, isn't your stick too big?"

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ginseng tree protruding from the soil, and at this moment they collectively exclaimed.

   "The big radish is not as big as your stick? How heavy is this one?"

   At this time, Su Anying had squatted on the ground, picked up the ginseng tree, and shook the soil on it again.

  Everyone saw the ginseng tree, which was thicker than a human forearm.

  Such a big ginseng has no shape at all, and all the five-legged and eight-pointed ginseng are all legs and beards.

  The beard on the ginseng's neck is as thick as a man's thumb.

   "This tree weighs about three catties." Su Anying weighed the mallet in her hand and estimated.

   "I'll go, a three-pound mallet, this is really an eye-opener.

  It's a pity that there are no ginseng auctions now. If this was put on the ginseng festival before, this one would not sell at least 20,000 yuan? "

  At the Ginseng King Auction, Su Anying took a six-and-a-half ginseng tree and auctioned it for 2,000 yuan.

  This tree is much bigger than that one. This is not the king of Shen, but the ancestor of Shen.

  If you put it away, the price of 20,000 yuan is easy.

   "There is no auction on the Ginseng Festival, but that doesn't mean we can't hold one ourselves." Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard that.

   "Go back tonight and tell your sister-in-law to call those customers quickly, saying that we are going to hold an auction of the king of ginseng in Donggang Canshi.

  Believe it or not, many people can come? "

  Xu Shiyan is an expert at this, if he wants to do something, isn't it easy?

   "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, this can be done.

  You call to contact customers, we advertise in Canshi, and we will hold an event in Donggang Canshi.

   It just so happens that we can take the opportunity to promote our Donggang Sanshi. "Everyone thought it was feasible when they heard it, so they encouraged Su Anying.

   "Don't worry, let's get out the mallet first, and see how much big stuff we can get out of these two strings of ginseng.

   If this is too little, it is not worth calling someone. "

   You can’t call those customers all the way for the sake of three or five sticks, right? Anyway, it should be worth the air ticket money.

   "Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is right. Come on, let's go to work."

  Everyone cheered up and hurried to work with the three-toothed child.

   Everyone knew that there was a lot of goods in the field, so no one dared to be careless. One by one, they picked up the three teeth and planed carefully.

  If it doesn’t work after a try, try again and dig deeper.

   Then he picked up all the huge clods of soil, kicked the three teeth lightly with his feet, and shook the soil down.

   "Oh, this tree is not small, third brother and third sister-in-law, you posted it this time." Over there, Huang Shengkai yelled loudly.

  Next, this piece of land will not stop, and the big guys will exclaim one after another.

  The sticks are growing, and each tree is bigger than the other. It's really a big carrot, and it may not be as big as the Xu family's stick.

  The four-year-old seeds were planted in the ground, and they grew in the ground for another five years.

  In the past five years, they have been carefully tended and cared for. They have used foliar fertilizers and compound bacterial fertilizers. They have also specially picked out the reed heads. At least four or five ginseng stalks grow on each ginseng tree.

  So many methods have been used, so can the mallet grow badly?

  When it was first planted, it was one foot and twelve centimeters, and eight to ten trees per centimeter were planted in the ground.

  After these five years, some of them have rotted, and now there are still five or six sticks left per centimeter, and more than sixty mallets can be grown out of one tenth of a foot.

   Don’t underestimate the sixty or so trees. The lowest one weighs more than one catty, the slightly better ones weigh more than two catties, and the three catties are not unusual.

  Someone even came up with a bigger one, estimated to weigh four catties.

  How can this be ginseng? This is better than pulling radishes from the radish field.

  The big guy said while working, the extra two years are really not in vain, and he has made a lot of money.

  Before coming, Xu Shiyan reckoned that he would be able to produce a large amount of goods, so he didn't bring a gunny bag, but put a plastic film inside the cardboard box.

  Although the pretense is less, it is safe and will not crush the mallet.

   With such a big mallet, even if it loses a beard, it still hurts.

  The big guy on this side got up carefully, and someone on the other side simply picked the stick and packed it into the box.

  The main thing is to pick out whether there are any rotten scars or damage. As long as there are no obvious flaws, put them all in the box.

  The cardboard box is covered with plastic film, fill a box, first arrange the plastic film, make sure to completely wrap the ginseng inside.

   Then use tape to seal the cardboard boxes and pile them on the ground.

  Xu Jinhui followed a few aunts to pick goods and pack boxes. This girl worked carefully and was very upright, and everyone who worked with her praised her.

  Xu Haiqing worked with Feng Yue and the others.

  It is impossible for Xu Haiqing to pick up the ginseng with the three teeth. One is afraid that he will hurt himself, and the other is that he will damage the mallet if he does not plan well.

  So Xu Haiqing squatted on the ground, picking up the club.

   Don’t underestimate picking up sticks, this job is not easy. After squatting for a long time, your legs are numb, so you can only kneel on the ground.

  But kneeling on the ground is useless, and I have to get up after a while, holding the mallet and sending it to pick and pack the goods.

   Kneeling and tossing together, it was tiring after a long time.

   After the day's work is over, those two legs are sore and sore as if they have been filled with lead.

  It’s fifty feet in total. If ordinary people start participating, a dozen or so people will finish it in half a day.

  The Xu family’s ginseng is special. Don’t think there are many people, there are nearly twenty people. But who dares to dig out the rough and rough?

  Every tree has to be carefully handled, and the work will naturally not be done quickly, until it is past five o'clock, and the fifty feet are finally finished.

   During this time, people were arranged to go down the mountain, and they bought a lot of cardboard boxes and plastic films to come up.

   Otherwise, those brought up the mountain in the morning are not enough.

  Everyone carried all the boxes to the car, covered the outside tightly with a tarpaulin, and tied them firmly with thick ropes before driving back.

  Two large trucks in the front and a few light trucks in the back, the convoy drove back to Donggang in a mighty manner.

   With so many big mallets, I didn’t dare to keep them at home, so I sent them directly to the large underground warehouse in Canshi for storage.

  In the past two years, the big warehouse in the city has undergone several upgrades and renovations, and all available anti-theft methods have been used.

  In addition to high-tech means such as burglar alarms, there is no shortage of traditional housekeeping artifacts such as dogs. At night, six or seven big wolf dogs are tied around Daku.

  The city guard room also arranged for four people to be on duty, with two shifts at night.

  Uncle Li, who was guarding Canshi at the beginning, passed away two years ago.

   Aunt Li passed away in her sleep just a few months after her wife left.

  The old couple had no children, and Xu Shiyan took care of the funeral, and buried the old couple together on Paotai Mountain in the south.

  Chanshi has settled down properly, and told the people in the guard room to be more careful at night, so everyone left in peace.

   "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant, I have reserved a table over there."

   Dear friends, Happy Lantern Festival.
