When Chen heard this, his expression on his face relaxed and he glanced at Jinghan. "Can you be the same little thing? Do you think you can make cakes with anything? Okay, if you like to poke, try it. Anyway, it's just a matter of ignition. If I don't let you do it, I will be muttering to you again." Living on the mountain, there are some Chai He, but he still wants to burn the kang anyway.

After hearing this, Jinghan knew that it must have been fooled. Now, even if he made something himself, no one would doubt it. He would just think that he had just hit him by chance. "Grandma, we have to wait a while before we have dinner, right? Then I'll do this first, I want to try it."

"Go, we have to wait for a while to have dinner." Chen waved his hand.

When Jinghan heard this, he quickly asked Wenhan and his friends to help him and bring all the mountain grapes and some houses to Zhixin and his friends. There was a place to cook dumplings and cook, and there was no place. Several children moved all the things like ants, and Jinghan also quietly took some flour and sugar to keep them for easy use.

Jinghan led Jingwan and Jingxian to put the grapes in a large basin and gently passed them with water. The grapes are wild things, and there is actually nothing to do on them, so just use water to pass them. Next, the three sisters picked the fruit grains one by one, and it was not difficult to get them down.

Brush the pot clean, add water, and then put the picked grape grains into the pot. Of course, there should not be too much water, just two small scoops of water, after all, there is still a lot of juice in the grapes. Light the fire at the bottom of the pot, and when the water in the pot boils, boil it slowly over low heat. When the grape skins and grape seeds inside are all boiled and separated, use a veil to remove the skins and seeds. Continue to boil them on low heat. When the juice in the pot feels a little sticky, Jinghan quietly finds the flour and sugar at home and puts them in.

Jinghan went out to find some corn skins, then cut off the back of the corn skin with scissors, washed them with water, and took them to the edge of the pot. Scoop the purple-red juice into the corn skins one by one. Each time one is scooped, it is placed on the fork next to it. When all the juices in the pot are scooped out, the fork is full. Jinghan and Jingwan lifted the fork out and placed it in a ventilated place, waiting for drying.

After finishing this, the dumplings there were also cooked, so Xue called everyone to prepare for the dumplings quickly. The children all went to wash their hands, then sat at the table, waiting for the fragrant dumplings to come out of the pot.

The dumplings are still mustard tassels and pork, and at this time, it is the filling. There are several other dishes on the table, including stewed river fish, stewed with mushrooms, rabbit meat, potatoes, and venison, all of which are meat dishes. When everyone sat down, the old man said, "Okay, they are all their own family. Today is the festival. We are the first Mid-Autumn Festival in the mountains. Let's have fun together. I won't talk about anything else. Eat quickly. You can't drink today, and this last day is left. Don't have any trouble at this checkpoint. Zhixin, you have to be more alert tonight, just wait until tomorrow will be up." The old man understood chopsticks first, picked up a dumpling and tasted it. "Well, it's pretty good, fresh enough." He said.

Everyone then moved their chopsticks, and the children naturally tried to make efforts for the dumplings. These fish and pheasants really ate a lot on the mountain, so they were not hungry. The dumplings were different, and they didn’t have time to make them, and they had to buy meat, so they all liked to eat dumplings.

After the family had eaten dumplings, it was at the end of You. Chen arranged for Zhide's family of four to live in the boys' house, and the boys lived in Zhixin and Zhiming's houses respectively. It was already dark outside, and everyone sat together and talked for a while, and then went to bed. As for the moon watching, they were all very tired and no one had the intention of doing so.

On the morning of August 16th, Zhide's family left after breakfast. The people in the village also arrived at the garage early. Everyone carried tools such as three teeth and four teeth, and quickly went to the garage fields of each family to set up a hammer.

Of course, the Xu family also came to their own ginseng. After the day of ginseng is set, we have to start together.

First, I removed the shed on the ginseng ground. This was simple. After three years of wind and rain, the boards were no longer able to do it. They were all lifted aside in a few seconds.

Ginseng is called a scattering mallet here, and this job is not easy to do. When scattering, you must use three-toothed pieces to find the position of each scattering mallet before you can dig it out. It is best to lift the soil blocks all at once, and do not let the three-toothed teeth dip on the scattering mallet, otherwise the scattering mallet will be injured and will not be sold for a good price.

The hammers must be planted in the order of the hammers at that time, so it is not easy to find the wrong place. Then, with one tooth, you can dig out three or four hammers, put the blocks of soil with the hammer aside, and the person who picks up the hammers will take the hammers out of the soil.

The Xu family has a lot of people this year. Zhixin and Zhiming both took three-tone piercings, and then the rest picked them out of the soil. The old man and the old lady took care of the house. Today, the people from the government came here and took away the ginseng that each household should pay.

It is best to kneel on the ground when picking up a stick, as this is more comfortable, otherwise the legs will be numb after squatting for a long time. The children all changed into the oldest clothes and then knelt on the ground to pick up ginseng.

Jinghan looked at the large ginseng in his hand and felt so beautiful. This year's ginseng grew very well. It was quite large and smooth. It seemed that some of them could really be heavy. Jinghan's eyes rolled and thought of something, so he quickly got up, found a sack, and then specially picked out the large ginseng. Who knows what standards does this yamen collect ginseng? If they were to see these large sizes, they would definitely not be small. Just kidding, these big ones could be sold for a lot of money, who would be willing to give them?

Xue was picking up a hammer, but when she saw her daughter's actions, she was a little puzzled. "Jinghan, what are you doing?"

Jinghan ran to her mother and quietly expressed her thoughts in her mother's ear. After hearing this, Xue looked at her daughter strangely, "You ghost guy, you took the sticks in the yamen, together with the big and the little one."

Jinghan curled her lips, what's wrong with the big and the small? Didn't she kidnap the big ones? She just wanted the big ones to be saved, and the rest were not small. Jinghan lowered her head and continued to pick out large ginseng. She had the right hands, and the ones she picked out usually had to be at least about two and a half taels.

Seeing her daughter like this, Xue knew that she was doing it for the sake of her family. Besides, this year's stick is indeed rare, and if she was taken away by the people in the yamen, she would feel uncomfortable. So Xue stopped saying a word and silently supported her daughter to do this.

The family was only fifteen feet tall, and it was over in the afternoon. Jinghan found a secret place to hide the big stick he picked. He couldn't take it out now, otherwise it would be hard to tell if the people in the yamen saw it. Fortunately, they had been on the mountain for a long time and had made several holes beside the stick before, so Jinghan and Wenhan put the things in one of them. Then they asked Wencheng and Wenxuan to watch from a distance, so that outsiders would not let outsiders go.

Many of the villagers also finished the sticks and were waiting to hand them over at the entrance of the yard. The people from the yamen came at noon, took a booklet, and then packed the sticks from door to door. Several people came, including weighing scales, keeping accounts, and loading ginseng into the car. They were also very busy. After each household handed over the sticks, they could release the garage and then the next household would turn.

Until the end of the You hour, all the 100 households in the village had finished handing over, and the people in the yamen drove the car and left the yard. On average, each household had to pay 70,000 kilograms. At this moment, they pulled away 70,000 kilograms of sticks, and used a total of more than ten carriages before they were all taken away.

Jinghan looked at the backs of these people and cursed in her heart. "A group of bastards who eat people and don't spit bones. The court is going to peel off the skin of ginseng people? Thanks to the good growth of this year, if the ginseng is not good in the years, the ginseng will not be enough to be handed over to the court. They are all bastards."

Jinghan muttered and came to the place where the ball was hidden, and took out the ball with Wencheng and Wenxuan, and then Wencheng carried it home.

The old man was sighing. This year's sticks were paid 80 kilograms, and there were still 190 kilograms left, but they couldn't keep up with the remaining ones last year. "When I was digging the sticks just now, I didn't look quite big? Why is the output this year not as good as last year?"

Jinghan happened to hear it and laughed, "Grandpa, why are you in a hurry? There are still some here." As he said that, he and Wencheng put the hidden ones they had in the house. These could be at least twenty kilograms.

The old man went downstairs to open the sack and asked strangely: "Where did this come from? Why are they still so big?"

Xue walked in from outside and said with a smile. "Dad, you don't know that this ghost spirit in our family has already picked out the big ones. She was hiding it just now, but now the people in the yamen left, and she took it out. If these big ones were handed over to the yamen, it would be really heartbreaking." Xue told everyone about the matter.

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Why did this little girl, she have such a trick? She actually knows to hide the big ones. Thanks to our family living in the mountain, otherwise, no matter how much you hide, can you still not go home? Okay, our family must keep all the people in our family confidential and not let others know. This is a big deal, be careful to be arrested. Okay, I will start making goods tomorrow, or make red goods." The old man ordered.
