Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xia Lian used a hoe to dig one up and took a look. It was a seedling that had been planted for a year, about the thickness of a chopstick. Using a caliper, it was about 0.7 centimeters in diameter.

The root system is good, and the branches are also good. It is blooming for the third time now, but the amount of flowers is not large, just like a war, the first blow is strong, the second is weak, and the third is weak.

"How much is this one?"

Chang Liang held up three fingers and said, "Three cents a seedling. This is for planting seedlings separately. It takes a lot of effort."

"What about the salvia seedlings?"

"Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings are cheap, 50 cents per pound, with a small amount of soil, and about 500 plants per pound. That's 1 cent per plant. About 3,000 plants per acre. This stuff is very easy to grow. Plant it in the first year and you can sow it in the summer, and you don't need to buy seedlings anymore."

Liu Xialian calculated for a moment and said, "I'll give you 10,000 honeysuckle seedlings first, and load them up and take them away today. Then I'll give you a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and after the National Day, I'll ask for several hundred thousand yuan, and I'll plant about 200 to 300 acres. I plan to plant about 200 acres of salvia miltiorrhiza, but the statistics haven't been calculated yet."

Chang Liang scratched his head and said, "No, you didn't even ask me about my skills, and you bargained with me. I spent the whole day thinking about my excuses, and you're paying me now?"

"I know all the planting techniques. When planting honeysuckle on hillsides, it's best to make it into a ball shape. Plant three seedlings in one pit. When they grow up, they will form a round flower ball. They have a high yield and are drought-resistant. If you plant them this year, you can have a yield next year."

Chang Liang nodded and said, "You are absolutely right. I have never advocated planting single trees on hillsides. Shandong has suffered from severe droughts. There may be spring droughts in nine out of ten years. The water in the reservoir may have dried up, so drought-resistant and water-saving planting is a must. You don't need to flood the flower bulbs with water. You can use buckets to irrigate. The water from flooding one acre can irrigate ten acres of flower bulbs."

"Then you don't ask me about my future prospects?"

"There is no need to ask about the development prospects. Honeysuckle has great medicinal value. With the liberalization of domestic pharmaceutical factories, the usage will continue to increase. In the future, honeysuckle will also be used in beverages such as herbal tea. As for salvia miltiorrhiza, it goes without saying. It is indispensable for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs."

Chang Liang was convinced: "You are the expert, I am just a farmer."

Liu Xia Lian handed over three hundred yuan to Chang Liang: "This is the money for the ten thousand trees today. I will give you a deposit of one thousand yuan while we draft a contract."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to dig right away. You guys go to the village and take a rest. It won't take long to dig 10,000 trees. There are seven or eight of us here, so we can finish digging in two hours."

Chang Liang's wife led the people from their village to start digging seedlings. Chang Liang said, "It's windy on the mountain. I'll take you back to the village to rest for a while."

Liu Xia Lian and her group followed Chang Liang back to the village. A funeral was going on on the road to the village. The suona band was playing loudly and there was a big banquet nearby.

Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong felt greedy again and wanted to sneak to the banquet.

Liu Xia Lian asked, "Brother Chang, whose funeral is this?"

"This is the village hero Chang, who participated in the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. He was 85 years old this year and died of old age, which can be considered a perfect deed."

Liu Xialian said: "My grandfather died four or five years ago. He was a comrade-in-arms with the old hero. I seem to remember that Grandpa Chang went to visit us. I didn't expect to catch up with him by chance. We went over to pay our respects."

"Of course you have to go. I'll take you there."

There were no longer many gifts being accepted in the ceremony tent because, after all, it was past two in the afternoon and the roadside memorial service had already begun.

Chang Liang brought Liu Xia Lian and others to the accounting office. When the accountant heard that these were the grandsons and granddaughters of the old man's comrades-in-arms, it was incredible that they could still come here after all, they hadn't met for ten years.

I paid a five-dollar gift and bought a piece of cloth and a piece of paper from the store.

The chief steward shouted: Liu Fuhong, the grandson of our old comrade-in-arms from Liujiazhuang, and his granddaughter Liu Xialian, are guests. The host would like to express their gratitude.

In the mourning shed at the back, more than a dozen people from the host family bowed and thanked.

The chief steward arranged the order of the memorial service. Liu Xia Lian was an unmarried girl and did not need to attend.

Liu Hong, Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong went.

Zhao Hua was in a dilemma: "I don't understand the rules here, three bows and nine kowtows. I will make a fool of myself later."

"The old hero is over 80 years old, it won't hurt to pay him a visit. You two just need to follow Brother Hong's example."

Liu Hong said, "I'll be in front of you in a while, just watch and learn."

The two of them looked at other people's salutes. It was indeed complicated, but not very difficult. The chief steward next to them was shouting, so it shouldn't be wrong.

Brother Hong taught them again and finally they didn't make a fool of themselves.

There are many descendants of the old hero, and the banquet was quite good, with four fruit plates and eight plates of hot dishes. The smooth pork was really good, the meatballs were also very good, and at the end there was a bowl of whole mutton soup.

What surprised Zhao Yong the most was that during the meal, the host came over to thank the guests, and it was not just a few empty words, but a real kowtow.

The sense of ceremony was full and the suona sounded really beautiful.

But it's quite a waste of food in this weather. What we can't finish today will have to be thrown away tomorrow, and there's no refrigerator in the village.

You have to get up quickly after eating because there are guests downstairs. This is a buffet.

After the group finished their meal, they looked at the clock and it was already past four in the afternoon. Chang Liang's wife came over and said that the seedlings had been dug.

Twenty trees in a bunch, and they were pruned very well. After counting and loading, it was a good thing that the commercial vehicle had a large space, otherwise it would not have been able to fit them all. The two parties signed a contract for the planting of seedlings, and Liu Xialian gave a deposit of one thousand. "

Chang Liang was so excited that he was a little incoherent. His nursery was too novel and beyond the scope of people's acceptance at that time. Many people did not approve of it and he sold very few seedlings. He was basically on the verge of bankruptcy. He did not expect that they were all sold out at once. It would be strange if he was not excited.

Liu Xia Lian said, "Brother Chang, I won't come over next time. You can just drive the tractor to deliver it, and I'll calculate the freight for you separately."

"This is the first time I've met a customer who doesn't bargain. I feel bad about it. No matter what I say, I can't ask for shipping fees. I don't have any good stuff at home, so I'll just pack two boxes of big red peaches."

"Okay, let's go then. We'll contact each other then."

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon in August and the weather was still very hot. The car was filled with seedlings. The group drove more than thirty miles. Liu Fuhong, the car in front, stopped the car under the shade of a tree on the side of the road.

Liu Xia Lian asked: "What's wrong, Brother Hong, why don't you leave?"

"Sweat has blurred my eyes and I can't see the road clearly. Let's take a break before we continue walking."

Liu Xia Lian took a look and thought this place was quite nice. It was located between towering mountains, with no village in front and no shop behind, and the mountains were covered with dense trees.

Everyone sat in the shade of the trees, enjoying the cool breeze and drinking water. After resting for about half an hour, it was past five o'clock.

Suddenly, a wild beast roared, followed by a colorful leopard running rapidly down the hillside.

After a while, a big man holding an iron rod chased after him like a tiger rushing up a mountain. This man ran really fast and could jump several meters at a time.
