On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhixin and the old man went up the mountain to plant a stick. Since Wenhan and Wencheng all returned to the school, Xue followed him up the mountain and led Jinghan. Jinghan sat on the ox cart and looked at the scenery on the roadside. It was almost winter, and the entire forest was full of bare trees, leaving only some pine trees a little green. The mountains were undulating, continuous, and there were mountains everywhere.

They kept walking westward, and after about an hour, they arrived at the ginseng land. The ginseng land is so large that everyone in the village grows ginseng here, and it is not a year, but a few years ago. It seems that there are about six or seven thousand feet of hammers.

After moving the ginseng plant from the ox cart, Zhixin and the old man carried it to the ginseng area of ​​their home. Xue and Jinghan were holding shovels and Zhizi behind. This ginseng is a tool for planting ginseng, which can make each row of ginseng have the same distance, that is, the row spacing is the same. This thing is made of wood, a wooden square of about four and a half feet, which is only one and a half inches thick, and two small wooden squares that are six to eight inches long on both ends. This is the row spacing of ginseng. There is also a rectangular square plate in the middle, where ginseng plants can be placed.

He put everything on the head of the ginseng ground, and then Zhixin began to use three-tone seeds to level the ginseng soil. Because the turned ginseng soil is a sharp ridge, it is necessary to spread the soil flat. Zhixin first spread the ginseng soil that can have two or three feet of ginseng soil, and then began to plant ginseng with the old man.

This plant of ginseng is to go backwards. It is to use a shovel to open a small ditch directly on the ridge, put the ginseng into the front of the ditch, and then put the ginseng plant into the ditch. Of course, the reed head is facing upward, the beard is facing downward, and the slant is placed in the ditch. In this ditch, just place twelve plants on the front road, fourteen plants on the second road and sixteen trees below the third road. After this trip is set, it is called a liter. Then pick up soil from behind and bury the small ditch in front. At this time, press the small wood square at both ends of the zhizi to the ground, and then drag it back according to the seal, so that the distance between each centimeter is the same. Put the plant in the square plate, so that it is more convenient to use it.

Jinghan helped hand over the plant, which was to take the plant on a square plate, while Xue went to spread the remaining ginseng soil. In this way, everyone divided the work and worked very quickly. At noon, Xue took out the dry food, and everyone ate the dry food, and drank some water. "Mom, why don't we go to the ginseng to eat? It would be better to let him help heat the rice." In his previous life, people who brought the food would usually ask the ginseng to help heat it, but he also wanted to eat. Some people were better at looking at the ginseng and would boil some hot water for everyone to drink.

Xue looked at Jinghan, "Who did you say that those who read the ginseng can help warm up the rice? These ginseng people are all bachelors and they can't even take care of them, so how could they care about us? This old man Liu is drunk every day, so he won't do anything to us in vain."

When Jinghan heard this, he realized that this place was not a family looking at the citation in the mountains, but looking for some old bachelors in the village and there was no work to do, so he asked them to come to the citation in the citation. Jinghan seemed to have something flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it. Forget it, let's work first and think about it later.

After a while, everyone started working again. Today is the day for the village to discuss planting ginseng together, so you can see people in the village everywhere. When everyone met, they said hello, and then lowered their heads to work.

Before Shenshi was about to wait, they planted all the fifteen-foot hammers, and some of the selected plants were left. They happened to hear someone shouting not far away, "Whose plant is left? I'm still short of it, give it to me evenly, go back and give it money." It was Ergouzi's father, his family's surname is Li.

Zhixin shouted here, "Brother Li, I have it, come and get it."

The man hurried over, "Brother Xu, your family has a good life this year. There are still three ways left. Don't you still have to grow old when you get the hammer?"

Zhixin smiled, "Hurry up and take it back and fall into trouble, it will be dark if you talk nonsense."

The man ran to the place where he was watching the ginseng and brought a scale, weighing the ginseng seeds, which were five kilograms in total. "Brother Xu, this is five kilograms. Let's take two hundred kilograms at the old price. I'll give you silver when I go back." Then he took the ginseng seeds away.

Jinghan listened on the side. This ginseng plant is really cheap enough, only 200 liters per pound. A pound of ginseng plant can produce five or six pounds of ginseng, and some can grow seven or eight pounds. It depends on the soil quality. Calculate that this ginseng plant is very cheap. But it is understandable that every family actually has ginseng plant. Generally speaking, if someone has left it, it will just go home and steam it and dry it, and wait to dry it and sell it. The ginseng plant is very dry and it is not good to dry five pounds per pound. After calculating this, I feel balanced.

Zhixin and Xue packed up all kinds of tools, and then the family came to the ox cart and put the things in it. Zhixin drove the ox cart and walked home. It was already the beginning of Youyu, and Chen had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to come back for dinner.

When the ox cart entered the yard, Zhixin and Xue put all the tools back into the warehouse. Jinghan went into the house to wash his hands, and the old man also went into the house to rest and smoke. Chen and Jinghan Huixin brought all the food to the table, "Go to wash your hands and eat quickly. I've been tired all day, so I'll finish my breakfast and rest." Chen said to the old man.

Just as the old man finished smoking the bag of cigarettes, he stood up and went out to wash his hands. When the old man came back, everyone sat at the table and started eating.

"Jinghan, are you tired of working today?" Chen picked up a piece of meat and put it in Jinghan's bowl. The old lady loved her grandchildren, unlike other families. She was as stern as if she was a rude person all day long, as if she was owed her.

Jinghan quickly said, "Grandma, you should eat it. I am not tired. This little work is nothing. I run all day long and don't feel tired at all."

Chen looked at her little granddaughter. This child has been wild since she was a child. She didn't dare to go up and down the river. Now she is old and still the same, but she is very diligent and pulls things at home all day long. "There is nothing to do in the past few days. Let your mother take you to the town to buy some cloth and cotton, and it's time to make winter cotton coats. This year, make new clothes for a few children, especially Jinghan, don't always pick up Wenhan's. The girl is old and she has to wear some fresh clothes.

I always wear boys' clothes. I don't know, but I thought there was a kid in our family. This year, Jinghan and the others got a lot of things back. Today, someone came to collect them, so I sold them. Not to mention, I really sold them a lot of money. Then, this is ten taels of silver for selling things. Making clothes for the children, etc. is enough. If you have money, don't be wronged. The children are getting older, and our family's life will gradually get better." Chen took out a few pieces of silver and gave it to Xue.

Xue took the money and said, "Okay, I'll go to the town to buy cloth and cotton in the past two days. At that time, it's time to make cotton coats or something." The six children in the family have to do it together, and they can't be biased. Wencheng and Wenchang can't be left behind.

Zhixin looked at the old man, "Dad, I'll pick up some squats before the snow these days. If the weather is good, I'll smash the squats on it, so that I can save some trouble next spring."

The old man nodded, "Okay, you just do it. You have been doing it for so many years and you can do everything. You don't need to ask me about these things in the future, just arrange them yourself." No matter what kind of work the boss will discuss with the old man and ask for his opinion.

Chen suddenly remembered Zhiming's words, "Boss, you can take time to go to the county town in the past two days and send the sticks at home to the third child's pharmacy shop. The third child agreed with the shopkeeper that the price is one percent higher than the one we sell, so that you can sell more than six or seven taels of silver, and you can do whatever you want."

"Hey, mom, then I'll go to the county town first. It doesn't matter if I'm two days late." It's a big deal to buy ginseng. If I go late, it would be bad if I accept other people's belongings.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early. Although Jinghan was not tired, she was a little lazy and fell asleep after lying on the kang.

The next day, Zhixin took more than 40 kilograms of dry goods from his family to the county town, and Xue took Jinghan to the town. It took half an hour to get from the village to the town. When Jinghan saw that there were more people selling things in the town than in spring, usually selling cabbage and potatoes. Xue led Jinghan to a cloth shop, which contained various fabrics, including cotton cloth, satin and so on.

When the guy saw the Xue family and his daughter, he quickly came up to meet him, "This sister-in-law wants to buy some fabrics to make winter clothes. Come and see, there are new fabrics here, which are fresh in color and thick, so it is forbidden to wear them. What we merchants want is durable, right?" The guy led the Xue family and his daughter to the cotton cloth and asked them to see the cotton cloth.

Jinghan admired this guy's words very much. He had to buy things according to the person's sale. If you can't come to someone, you can buy expensive things. The key is to be applicable. The types of cloths introduced by the guy are thick enough. It is really good to use them for making cotton coats, but the price is slightly more expensive.

Xue looked at the cloths and said, "Brother, what you said is good, but it is a bit expensive. Can it be cheaper?"

"Sister-in-law, you get what you pay for. Our shop is a time-honored brand. We never dare to raise prices on purpose. These are real prices and can't be cheaper. If my sister-in-law thinks these are expensive, I still have some cloth from last year. It's just for a year, and the color is not so vivid. The farmer's clothing is fine." As the guy said, he took out several pieces of cloth from the counter.
