Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

The impact of digging up wild ginseng doesn't stop there. Su Anying and even Xu's family members have followed suit.

At the other end of the goods room, after washing and steaming the ginseng, there are only other tasks such as drying, drying, forking, cutting ginseng whiskers, picking grades, and binding ginseng whiskers.

These follow-up tasks can also be regarded as technical, effortless, light, and earn high work points.

Many people can't grab it, only some experienced daughters-in-law are left.

Normally, people like Su Anying, who bought a house and worked in the house for the first year, would not be able to pick her at all.

As a result, many people were not selected, but Su Anying was selected and stayed in the warehouse to continue working.

Even Su Anying herself was very puzzled, why was she selected?

So when Xu Shiyan came home from work, Su Anying spoke out the problems in her heart.

Nothing? You should do your job well.

My daughter-in-law is so capable and ingenious, can you still struggle with the little work in the house?

Of course Xu Shiyan understood why, most of it was due to the Zhao family.

Xu Shiyan earned more than five hundred yuan with Zhao Jianshe. The Zhao family reciprocated, and it was normal for the Zhao family to take care of the young couple.

Of course, Su Anying is indeed capable. If she doesn't work well, even if Zhao Dahai wants to take care of her, she won't be able to do anything.

Some things, even though everyone knows it well, still need to be convinced, otherwise it is easy to follow the truth.

Okay, don't worry about those things, you can just work hard in the shop, I guess you can almost reach Luoxue.

Then, these are the mountain grapes I picked from the mountains.

As Xu Shiyan said, he brought in the large basket of wild grapes outside the door.

Su Anying was dumbfounded at the time, Why are there so many? You didn't work today?

A big back basket full, how many years will it take to eat?

Don't mention it, didn't you run out of the mountain grapes I picked for you last time? I was thinking of picking some more at noon this afternoon.

As a result, that group of people didn't know what they were going crazy, and they all followed me into the woods, and grabbed a few vines, which was called a disaster, and they were all picked off.

Speaking of this, Xu Shiyan also looked helpless, he just wanted to get something to satisfy his wife's hunger, and he didn't intend to ask for so much.

Su Anying pursed her lips and snickered when she heard the words, in fact, she could probably guess why.

It's all for building a good relationship with Xu Shiyan, and waiting for Xu Shiyan to take them into the mountains next year.

But there's no place to store so many grapes, so they won't rot in the warehouse for ten days and half a month?

Su Anying was also worried, even if she was pregnant and liked sour food, she still couldn't eat so much.

It's okay, let's eat first. After we finish eating, let's clean up the mountain grapes. I'll make grape cake for you.

Xu Shiyan rolled his eyes, and immediately had a solution.

Su Anying doesn't know what grape cake is, but since her husband said it, there must be a way.

So the young couple ate dinner happily, then picked the grapes in the basket and washed them with clean water.

Pour the cleaned mountain grapes into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and boil it on the bottom.

While cooking, crush the grape skins with a strainer and other tools.

When the water in the pot turns bright purple, use a strainer to remove the grape skins, fruit stems and seeds, and continue cooking on high heat.

Cook until most of the water in the pot has evaporated, add a little sugar, and then pour in the flour noodles made from potatoes.

Stir well, bring to a boil again, when big bubbles appear, stop the heat and put it in a basin.

Okay, let it cool overnight, use a shovel or knife tomorrow morning, cut it into small pieces, and put it outside to dry.

After working for half the night, I finally finished it, and now I can sleep in peace.

You're so good, how can you know everything? You can also make grape cakes?

Su Anying's eyes were only shining, what kind of man did she marry? Why do you think your husband knows everything?

Xu Shiyan was a little embarrassed to be looked at by his wife like this.

The custom in my hometown, in autumn, is to peel pears, dry red skins in the mountains, and make grape cakes.

There is indeed such a habit in Shijiagou.

There is no ginseng growing there, and the crops in the fields are not growing well. There are pear trees and mangroves in the mountains in every garden.

In autumn, women in every household make these and save them for snacks during the Chinese New Year.

Although Xu Shiyan was still very young when the Xu family moved out of Shijiagou, he heard his mother talk about it.

In addition, this thing is not too difficult, it is quite easy to use, just to coax the daughter-in-law, as long as the daughter-in-law is happy.

It's quite interesting in my hometown. Come on, tell me about it.

Having said that, Su Anying became even more curious, and had to drag Xu Shiyan into the house and let him talk about things in his hometown.

This talk lasted until midnight, and the next morning, Xu Shiyan almost got up late.

Shendi's work is still going on, and Xu Shiyan will also take advantage of the rest time to go into the forest to get something delicious.

When the mountain grapes were gone, they would break pine cones, pick walnuts, and pick hazelnuts.

It is said that if you are pregnant, you should eat more nuts, which is good for the child. Anyway, as long as it is good for Su Anying and the child, he is willing to do it.

Busy and busy, time flies too fast, and it is October in the blink of an eye, and the work in Shendi is coming to an end.

After the ginseng soil is done, mix some loess in the place where there is too much black soil, and then use a shovel to turn it over from top to bottom to make a sharp soil ridge, then you can prepare to plant ginseng.

The opened ginseng seeds are sprinkled in the soil and grown for three years, and the soil fertility is not enough, so they need to be removed and transplanted again. This is called planting ginseng.

The time of planting ginseng is also particular. If it is too early, the moss cells of the reed head will not grow well, and it will be easily damaged, which will affect the emergence rate.

It's too late, it's all frozen, the ginseng soil is frozen in lumps, and the cover is not solid, it is easy to cause frost damage, and the stick will rot in the second year.

Generally speaking, it is all planted before the frost, and the ginseng seeds have to be selected and graded when they come out of the ground, so the ginseng seeds should be started one week before the frost.

On October 16th, the team started to participate in the competition, and the dozens of people from last time drove the carriage straight to Qianchuan to join the field.

You can’t use three-toothed tools for raising ginseng seeds, you have to use four-toothed tools. The two tools are similar, that is, the four-toothed tool has one more tooth and the spacing is closer.

Ginseng seeds only grow for two or three years, and the seeds are sown densely. Compared with the ginseng that is produced, they are naturally much smaller.

Picking up ginseng seeds is even slower. Most of the time, when one person wields a four-toothed planer, at least two people will have to pick them up later.

Okay, everyone, let's take a break and eat. I haven't been idle this afternoon, and I got up pretty fast.

Xu Shixiang was still the leader, and when the time came, he called to rest there.

Everyone stopped their hands, and the ginseng seed pickers quickly picked up the ginseng seeds on the ground and put them in sacks, and then everyone went back to the ginseng house to eat.

Hey? What's the matter? Didn't Mr. Li turn on the fire to heat our meals? When we arrived at the house, we found that there was not even a spark under the pot and the pot was empty. Everyone was a little puzzled. Why did Li head go?

Oh, come quickly, Uncle Li has fallen behind the pile of firewood. Someone shouted loudly.
