Chapter 48 Participant

The Xu family settled down on the mountain, and it happened that it was time to build a shed. Now that we are right in front of us, we do the work faster. The old man and Zhixin and Zhiming made the shed in a few days.

Gradually, the people in the village came to make a shed for Bangchi. At this time, the weather was still very cold. The villagers came to work with dry food and ate like that outside. The cold wind poured into their stomachs. When Jinghan saw it, she asked Xue to boil a large pot of hot water and then let everyone come to eat in the house. Old Liu never cared about these things before. Now that the Xu family is here, everyone can have a place to drink some hot water. This time, many people praised it.

After hearing Jinghan's words, Xue told everyone that when she comes to work, she can put the rice here. She will help heat it up at noon so that she will not be able to keep eating cold.

These people were very happy to hear this. "Oh, sister-in-law, if this is true in the future, we will be happy. Especially at this time, if you don't bring food, you will be so hungry in the afternoon. Let's bring food, and it will be uncomfortable to eat. Thank you sister-in-law." The farmers are really good to him, and he will remember it in his heart.

"What's the thank you for this? We have troubled everyone in the village. This little thing is not worth thanking." Xue smiled and went back to the house.

Time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was almost a month since the Xu family came to the mountain. The weather gradually became warmer, the trees outside began to turn green, and the grass on the ground gradually spit out new green, adding a bright color to spring.

At this time, it is also the busiest time for ginseng farmers. In the face of the pool, a thick layer of soil is covered with every winter, which is called cold-proof soil. In order to prevent the winter from being too cold, the drum is frozen. Because at this time, wooden boards are used to build sheds on the pool to shelter the drum to protect the drum from wind and rain. Unlike Jinghan's previous life, he used plastic film to peel off the film in winter to cover the snow pool. This wooden shed cannot be removed after it is finished and cannot be removed until the drum is finally raised. Therefore, the snow is not very thick, so cold-proof soil must be covered.

In the beginning of spring, you should use rakes to go downstairs. This is called the face of the rake. The rake is the kind that Zhu Bajie took in Journey to the West. A row of large nails are nailed on the six-edged wood, and then a hole is made on the other side and the handle of the rake is installed. In this way, there is an angle between the teeth of the rake and the handle of the rake. When used, it will not be inserted directly into the ground, but will be slanted and will not damage the hammer.

Use a rake to lower the soil on the pond, and then loosen the soil under it. This way, it is easier to unearth the sticks. Generally, the sticks that are about to be made are placed first, then blow the inside and then the inside is frozen, and then the last is to be planted. These are some professional terms for ginseng farmers. Generally, the sticks that have just been planted last year are called new planting, the second year is called freezing, and the third year is called freezing, so they can be made into goods. Since the goods have grown for two years, they are germinated earlier and must be planted first. The second is to be planted. The new planting is planted last year and the seedlings must be slowed down, so the latest one is called goods.

Since the Xu family lives here this year, they did these tasks very quickly. The three of them all got ready in a few days. However, the villagers did not come from home every day and went back in the afternoon, so those who get up early and work late every day must finish two days later than the Xu family.

After saving the face of Chi, they could take a few days off for a while. However, Zhixin and the others did not rest, but started another job, which was to put the entire sect on a stick. Because in this mountain, animals would break in from time to time.

One night, when Jinghan and the others were sleeping soundly, they heard something outside. Wenhan went out with a torch and saw that he was almost frightened. It turned out that a wild boar entered the yard and was looking for something to eat. It was the old man who got up and knocked hard with a copper basin, which scared the boar away. There were several times when he was sleeping beautifully, he suddenly heard the wolf screaming, which scared everyone to wake up.

So Jinghan gave an idea to put a stick around, so that at least there wouldn't be so many animals coming in. Although this wouldn't be too much to prevent, I could at least feel comforted. In addition, I could also dig some traps outside the stick, and maybe I could catch some prey.

However, since then, the old man asked the children to learn martial arts with Zhixin, and to practice boxing every morning and archery during the day. Otherwise, when they encounter danger, the children will be in lingering. So the children have a wonderful life every day, practicing martial arts in the morning, going up the mountain to dig traps during the day, and practicing archery after taking time. Jinghan is a tomboy, who is quite talented about these, but it is better that they learn faster than Wencheng, which makes everyone laugh and cry.

There is no hurry to do this stick, just take some time to do it every day. The most important thing is that it is about to farm. The Xu family’s land has been sold and there is no land to plant, but if it is not farmed, the food of this family will be a problem. So Jinghan gave another idea, which was to plant seeds in the soil of ginseng that had been completed last year.

"Jinghan, can you say what you said? We haven't planted this sticky soil before? What if it doesn't grow well?" The old man was a little unbelievable, so he asked.

"Grandpa, think about it, this soil is so good. It's just that a crop of sticks has been planted. It's absolutely fine to plant grain for a year. When the saplings in the sticks grow, we won't plant them. The saplings that are raised every year are about 2,000 meters, which is counted as more than twenty acres of land. If we plant these, it's almost done, what do you think?" Jinghan remembered that in his previous life, he did this. After just starting the saplings, plant a few crops of grain. When the saplings grow, they can't plant them anymore.

"If this is the case, we can try it. Anyway, our family has no land. If it is harvested, we will be in vain. If it is not harvested, we will be considered as a blind seed. OK, I think Jinghan's idea is OK, so just do it." Chen decided to do what Jinghan said.

The old man agreed, so everyone started to grow grain in the bachai field. Because the soil on the bachai field was very soft and gracious, the plowing rod was swinging quickly, and the old cows at home were not willing to sell, so this time it came in handy. The whole family went to farm. Wen Han raised the cow in front and Zhiming supported the plow. The old man, Chen, Xue, Zhixin, and others digged up some seeds, Jinghan, and Wencheng used their feet to cover the seeds in the pit with soil and stepped on them with their feet.

In this way, the family planted all the land in three days. There was no fertilizer in the field, so everyone was unsure of what the grain could grow. However, even if it grew worse, it could still be harvested, so everyone was still full of hope.

What they planted were the places where the baits just started last year. The remaining two years ago had grown a lot of grass, so they could not be planted anymore. However, Zhixin and Zhiming still found a place close to the place, turned the soil over again, and planted some side dishes. They had to plant some vegetables and taste delicious, otherwise what would they eat?

Jinghan didn't care about these things. She led Wenxuan and Wenchang to pick wild vegetables together. This place is much more convenient than at home. After leaving the garage, there were a lot of wild vegetables in the forest outside. Jinghan and his friends couldn't take long to pick a lot of wild vegetables.

This year's days are a bit tight, and Jinghan dared not say that he wanted to make dumplings. So when he came back, he just blanched it with water, cut the green onion, and mixed it with some salt. Or boiled it and dipped it in the sauce, so that everyone would eat it very well, because it has not been eaten for a long time, and finally saw some fresh dishes, and everyone ate it very fragrant.

On that day, Jinghan and the others went to pick big-leaf celery. Although they were a little old, they had no vegetables, so they had to settle it. They were walking west today, but they didn't expect to encounter a large area of ​​thorny buds. At this time, it was a good time to thorny buds. Two inches long, tender and fat. Jinghan immediately became happy when he saw it, "Brother, let's break the thorny buds quickly and make some food tonight."

Wen Han and the others also saw this area of ​​thorny buds and rushed over to break them. The thorny buds here were much more thorny buds than the place they went to last year, and they were thicker. After a while, everyone broke a lot of them.

"Second sister, these are almost done." Wenchang asked.

"Let's make some more. Tomorrow morning, my elder brother and I will go to the town to sell it. I will take some to my aunt. I guess she won't be able to eat this thing." Jinghan was still making the thorny buds.

Wen Han heard that, right. It sold very well last year, and it looked good this year. If you could sell it for some money, it would be nice to come back with some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The family’s money is too tight this year. If they can earn some money, it would be good if they can earn some. "Okay, let's break more of your second sister. Let's sell it tomorrow to buy candy for you." Wen Han especially loves these younger brothers and sisters.

As soon as they heard that they could come back from the candy tomorrow, the children became interested and all happily broke up the thorny buds. After about two hours, everyone broke up the baskets on their backs. Jinghan saw that it was almost done, so they said they would go back. So they all went back to the venue together.

Chen was a little puzzled when he saw the children getting so many thorny buds. Jinghan told Chen, and Chen understood. "Okay, you can try it in the town. I'll drive a ox cart tomorrow and ask your third uncle to accompany you. It's time to see your sister-in-law. I don't know how she is doing these days?" Chen missed his daughter a little.

"Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely go and see my sister-in-law." Jinghan said.

"Good kids, it's rare that you are so sensible at a young age. I'm so tired when I asked you to go up the mountain this time." Chen was very happy to look at the children at home.
