The flower shed is built in the style of a vegetable greenhouse, with a single slope, but there is no greenhouse film in this year, so glass windows can only be used.
Xu Shiyan asked Lin Jian's people to come over and explain to them what kind of flower shed he wanted, design and draw it out, and prepare the materials.
Xu Shian and Su Anying came to watch, Xu Shiyan didn't have time.
Gastrodia elata seeds must be available in order to carry out experiments on the field cultivation of Gastrodia elata with old ginseng.
So from May onwards, as soon as I joined the field, I advertised in various villages and forest farms in the forest area to collect fresh Gastrodia elata.
Experienced mountain runners don't have to wait for Gastrodia elata to emerge, and take a shovel into the mountain. If they are lucky, they can dig ten catties a day.
In recent years, the price of dried Gastrodia elata has grown quite rapidly.
The key is that some beekeepers from the south come here, they love Gastrodia elata, and they often buy it at a high price.
As a result, the price of gastrodia elata has risen, and now a catty of dry goods costs about seven or eight yuan.
The ginseng field collects fresh Gastrodia elata for two yuan per catty, regardless of whether the seedlings have emerged or not, regardless of the size, even small rice hemp.
At this price, many people think it is a good deal.
How good is it to dig it out without washing it, cooking it and drying it in the sun?
So many people dug up gastrodia elata and sent it to the purchase point, and sent people to the venue to walk around every two days to transport it back.
All the Gastrodia elata brought back were arranged by Xu Shiyan and sent to the old ginseng field in Caozihe, where the club was played last year.
Put the fermented fungus sticks mixed with Armillaria mellea in advance in the ginseng soil, put grading Gastrodia elata in the middle, then cover the top with soil, and cover the branches and leaves, especially the leaves of oak trees.
Old ginseng fields are all black soil rich in humus, the soil has good air permeability, and the ginseng soil planted with mallets is rich in flora, which is conducive to the growth of armillaria.
In the natural environment, after years of development, the old ginseng field is also easy to grow Gastrodia elata.
Therefore, planting Gastrodia elata in the old ginseng has its own advantages, but the initial investment is a bit larger.
Waiting for the seeds to be saved next year, and then cultivate the germination bacteria of small mushrooms and Armillaria armillaria, and then the cycle can be realized and large-scale cultivation can be achieved.
Chapter 281 Sauce Beans
Gastrodia elata is collected at the same time as Asarum seedlings.
Now this asarum is not expensive, it depends on the harvest.
Asarum with more than two leaves, complete roots and leaves, two cents a penny.
Big seedlings are not needed, as the roots are too long and it is not easy to live. Small seedlings are the best, cheap and easy to live.
Plant it on the side of the pond and grow slowly, and it will grow into a mound in three years. Just before the ginseng, it will be dug out and dried in the sun for sale.
Asarum can be dug all year round, and the grass in the ground does not grow up in spring, so it is easier to see.
Most of the time, they go up the mountain to pick up the big leaf celery, and when they meet Asarum, they dig it out.
Just in time for the May Day holiday, many students followed their parents to work in the mountains, digging some in the woods along the way.
It's good to buy popsicles for a few cents when you come back.
Asarum blooms and seeds, and can be propagated by seeds or cut roots.
Get a Asarum nursery, and when there are more and more seedlings in the future, there is no need to buy small seedlings.
Anyway, no matter what industry it is, it must be difficult and costly to develop initially.
Once the scale is formed, it can circulate by itself and make money.
If a participant has a big business, he doesn't care about this little investment and develops slowly. This is not something to worry about.
Xu Shiyan is mainly responsible for the comprehensive utilization of ginseng land. In the rest of the time, he also leads the technical team to prepare fertilizers for ginseng land and distribute ginseng seeds.
Anyway, he is always busy, so he is not free.
At the other end of the farm, the flower shed was quickly covered with a large frame, and the next step was to install glass windows to keep the flower shed warm and insulated.
In order to take care of the farm, Su Anying specially learned to ride a bicycle. Xu Shiyan bought a bicycle ticket and bought one for his wife.
Su Anying rides her bike to the farm every morning, watching the work there, and if there is anything missing, she quickly arranges people to buy it.
Not to mention, Su Anying's ability is really nothing to say.
I took over the farm and learned how to manage and take care of the animals every day. It didn't take long, and I learned about the same.
Not only Su Anying is busy in the farm, but most of the wives of Huang Shengli, Feng Chao, Zhao Jianshe and others are also cultivating flower seedlings and raising animals in the farm.
As the weather got warmer, the Clivia seedlings raised by Huang Shengli and others moved to the farm.
The flower shed was temporarily unavailable, so a wooden shed was built to keep out the wind and rain. Centralized management is easier than separate care for each household.
Women, most of them like flowers and plants. The green Clivia flower seedlings are rare, and they can make money. Who doesn't care about them?
Needless to say, those furry and cute animals are all money, and for the sake of money, they have to be taken care of.
In order to run back and forth to the farm, most of the women have learned to ride bicycles.
Now the conditions of each family are okay, and it is not difficult to buy a bicycle.
So the women cooked meals in the morning, and after the children went to school, they rode bicycles to work on the farm.
At eleven o'clock at noon, I will ride home for dinner.
Su Anying fed the two children in the morning and went out, and went home at noon to feed them twice, and when she returned in the evening, the children were under her care.
Perhaps because of the large number of people in the family, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing are not very attached to their mother.
Play with my two aunts and grandma during the day, eat something when I'm hungry, or drink some goat milk or something.
When my mother came back, I would just take a bite of milk, and I wouldn’t be greedy if I didn’t give it. It’s just that I couldn’t do without my mother at night, and I had to be coaxed to sleep by my mother.
Su Anying was discussing with her mother-in-law. Judging from this situation, weaning at the age of one year is fine. Anyway, breast milk is optional, so weaning it off quickly can save you worry.
Zhou Guilan originally disapproved of weaning too early, but seeing the attitude of the two babies, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
It's the end of May.
"Yingzi, don't go to the farm tomorrow, we'll fry the beans later.
Let it be cooked in the pot tonight, and it will be sent to the mill to be rolled out tomorrow morning, and we will make the sauce tomorrow. "
On the night of May 29th, Zhou Guilan came to Su Anying and told her about making sauce.
Doubanjiang doesn't matter, as long as the weather is warm and sunny, you can make it anytime.
For the sauce made by the Xu family, they will choose the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the eighteenth day of the fourth month, and the 28th day of the fourth month. During these days, they will go to the mill to push the soy beans and sauce primers into a paste.
The sauce primer placed in the bean straw first evaporates and becomes lighter, and then slowly ferments.
After two months of fermentation, the surface has been covered with turquoise hairs, and some are slightly cracked.
Break open the sauce primer, if the fermentation is successful, you will see that there are not only turquoise hairs, but also red mycelia, with a slightly sour aroma.
The sauce made by such a sauce primer will not be bad in taste.
If the fermentation is not good, there are only turquoise hairs and a strong musty smell, then it will not work.
The sauce made is not tasty, with a musty smell.
Zhou Guilan is very good at making sauce primers. A few days ago, she broke apart the sauce primers, cleaned them, and piled them up again to ferment again.
The sauce made from the sauce primer after the second fermentation has a stronger fragrance.
The two families must not make too little sauce, so in the evening, Su Anying and Zhou Guilan fried forty catties of soybeans together.
Soybeans are sieved with a curtain in advance to pick out broken bean petals, stones, grass stalks, etc., and then scooped with water to dry, very clean.
Stir-fry slowly over low heat until the beans are slightly burnt and red, giving off a special aroma, but they cannot be fried, then put them in a pot and put them aside.
The fried beans need to be boiled until they are fully cooked.
Zhou Guilan has her own secret recipe for making sauce. Soybeans are mixed with some peas to make the sauce more sweet.
When cooking beans, put a section of schisandra vine and a bundle of catwort wormwood inside.
The sauced beans will have a natural aroma, and the sauce made without other seasonings is very delicious.
"It's no wonder that when I eat the sauce made by my aunt, I feel that it is different from my mother's. So there are still these sayings."
Sister Su Anfang also helped stir-fry beans and soy sauce beans. After seeing what Zhou Guilan put into the sauce bean pot, the two suddenly realized.
It's no wonder Xu's sauce tastes so delicious, there are secret recipes for the co-authors.
"This is the way my mother-in-law passed down.
The place where my family lived was crappy before, and there were stone cannons everywhere when I went out, so it was hard to get out.
To buy something, I have to go to Niumaowu, which is quite far and inconvenient.
At that time, our family had a mountain top, and there were Schisandra chinensis on the mountain, and Artemisia catnip was more common, and they were all around the garden.
So use these two when cooking beans, and the beans in sauce are very fragrant.
In fact, schisandra vine has many uses, and it can also be used for stew.
Not to mention the cat's Artemisia, put some stewed fish in it, it can remove the fishy smell, and the taste is still fresh. "
Seeing that Su Anfang and the others were curious, Zhou Guilan had to talk about it.
"When we lived in Daying and the big house, when it was time to eat, someone would come to the house and ask for miso.
Some people didn't take the bowl, so they borrowed the bowl from home, and forgot to return it.
Throughout the year, I don't know how many bowls I throw away. "
People in the Northeast are like this. They cannot do without sauce every meal. Whoever has a good miso, others will ask for it.
Chapter 282 Primary School Sports Meeting
After boiling the soybean paste, there is no need to add more firewood to the bottom of the pot, just simmer slowly.
In the morning of the next day, put the reddish beans and the soaked sauce primers into several tin buckets together.
Su Anying borrowed a wheelbarrow and pushed it to the mill in the backyard of the second brigade.
This method of making sauce must be grinded, otherwise the sauce primer will not be finely ground, and it will not taste good to anyone who eats a bite.
By the time Su Anying and the two younger sisters pushed the wheelbarrow to the mill, there were already a lot of people lined up here.
Usually, the mill does not push beans with soy sauce. Only the eighth day of April, the eighteenth day of April, and the 28th day of April are the days when the soybean paste is made.
In this way, there is no need to brush the grinding chamber back and forth.
In the process of grinding, some water needs to be added, so four buckets of beans are added with sauce primers, and finally five buckets are pushed back.
Xu Chenghou left two buckets there, and three buckets here.
According to the ratio of three catties of beans to one catty of salt, pour the sauce and salt into the porcelain jar.
Adding soybean paste and primer actually requires more grain, and the ratio of grain to salt is less than three to one.
Use a rolling pin to keep stirring in one direction until the salt and sauce are evenly mixed, and then sprinkle a layer of salt on top to seal the cylinder.
Finally, the cylinder mouth is covered with white cloth, and the cylinder mouth is tied tightly with red cloth strips.
If it is a block of sauce, it must be put outside to dry for a full month before it can be eaten.
But the sauce made by Xu's family can be eaten in three days.
Of course, it is best to ferment for a month, so that the aroma of the sauce will be stronger.
The Xu family still has the sauce they made last year, so they are not in a hurry to eat new sauce.
It is said that the freshly made sauce cannot be moved by a double-bodied person. If it is moved, the sauce will not ferment and will go bad.
As for whether it is true, no one knows, and no one has tested it.
The soy beans are food, tens of catties of beans, plus a lot of salt, are all money, who is willing to take risks?
Making sauce, pickling pickles, and pickling sauerkraut are three important things in the daily life of Northeast people, and they must be treated with caution.
Maybe there will be no food for the next year, it's not a joke.
It was not too early when the soy sauce vat was sealed. Su Anying saw that there was no need to go to the farm this morning, so hurry up and pack up and cook.
As soon as the meal was ready, I heard Xu Haiyuan running in from the outside.
"Mom, mom, we have a sports meeting tomorrow."
