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

Liu Xia Lian observed carefully and found that the family's honeysuckle was grown very well. They must have used fertilizer before the New Year and chemical fertilizer after the New Year.

"Water is necessary, but not too frequently. Just make sure there is no drought." Liu Xia Lian instructed the farmers.

The old man nodded and said, "Remember, how long will it take for these seedlings to reach their peak production period? My family has a total of five acres of land, and I planted two acres of honeysuckle flowers. I am looking forward to it."

"Don't worry, you'll see they're big this fall, and they'll be fully grown next spring. If you plant these two acres well, you can sell them for seven or eight hundred yuan."

Several farmers nearby also came to listen to Liu Xia Lian's introduction. They were all full of confidence. The yield of corn planted on this mountain land was about 700 to 800 kilograms per mu, at 1 cent per kilogram, which was no more than 80 yuan.

A farmer asked: "This flower cannot be eaten, why is it so expensive?"

Liu Xia Lian didn't say anything and left the opportunity to her fifth uncle. After all, he was the person in charge of the village.

"It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that honeysuckle is cold in nature and is a top-grade medicinal material for treating colds and fevers. It can not only be used to make medicine, but also as tea, so it is expensive. One acre can be equivalent to three or four acres of corn."

Someone asked: "Why are there little black bugs in my house? Can you come and see what kind of pesticide I should use?"

"I shouted through the loudspeaker a few days ago, 'Spray the aphid pesticide. Fortunately, there are no flowers this year. If there were too many flowers, how would we harvest them if you sprayed the pesticide?'"

"Alas, the child's grandmother passed away during those days, and I was busy with the funeral, so I missed it. Besides, I don't have a sprayer at home."

"Hurry up and apply it. I have a sprayer at home. You can go to the agricultural supply station and buy some medicine with a few cents. Apply it quickly."

Compared to honeysuckle, salvia miltiorrhiza is much simpler. Those planted in October last year have grown to 20 centimeters tall. They are planted in ridges and are very similar to sweet potatoes, but their growth cycle is longer than that of sweet potatoes. They sprout and start growing after February 2nd and continue until the frost.

The uncle pointed to the large field of salvia miltiorrhiza in front and said, "This field, with five acres of land, is all mine. I also planted your brother Fugang's land."

Liu Xialian took a shovel and dug a little, then laughed: "Uncle, your land is too shallow, the soil is only one foot deep at most."

"There is not a single piece of land in the entire Beishan. Five years ago, when the land was reclaimed, blasting was done, and this is what it became. Except for the blast holes, most of the land is 30 centimeters deep, which is not drought-resistant at all. It is difficult to get a good yield from sweet potatoes, and I don't know how effective it will be to plant salvia miltiorrhiza."

"It's easy. Just find an excavator to dig it up. This way the soil will be deeper and it will be easier to produce a good harvest."

The uncle was stunned: "Excavator, what is an excavator?"

Liu Xia Lian then remembered that it was only 1981 and there was no excavator in the countryside. There were very few of them in the country.

"An excavator is a machine with big claws that can easily dig this kind of hard ground more than half a meter deep, just using some diesel."

"Is it expensive? If not, get one here."

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "It's not easy to find. I'll see you when I come back."

Uncle and fifth uncle took Liu Xia Lian for a stroll in the mountains. The planting of honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza was generally good. After the canal was repaired last year, they were irrigated during the spring drought this year, and more than 80% of them survived.

It's not without problems. Some shepherds often cause trouble. My uncle arranged for militia to be on duty for a whole winter, and now it's spring, things have finally calmed down.

Because the villages here are too close to each other and the population density is high, it is far less peaceful than Lijiatun.

The crowing of roosters can be heard from one village to another.

"Uncle, don't bother with Second Aunt. He is just a child in front of you."

The uncle smiled bitterly, "I'm almost sixty years old, half buried in the ground, I definitely can't argue with her. In fact, it's just because of poverty. There are seven or eight brothers here, and there are indeed many weddings and funerals. Visiting relatives during festivals is also stressful. But this time, she must be regretting it."

"You mean the donkey thing?"

Uncle Wu couldn't hold back any more, "My eldest brother and I went to her house to ask her. My eldest brother said Xia Lian was planning to get a few donkeys for us. They weren't given as gifts, but on credit. We'll pay her in three years. Your village has a lot of land, and raising a few donkeys can fertilize the fields with just the donkey manure. It's a profitable business no matter how you look at it."

"And then, what did my second aunt say?"

"Your second aunt said that I can't afford it. I don't believe this girl is so kind. If she is, it would be better to just give her money. She and your eldest aunt don't want it. I saw her staring at the donkey just now. I guess she regretted it again."

"That's normal. After all, we haven't been in touch for 10 or 20 years, so we're not that close anymore. You have a lot of pets, so you can go over and help out during the busy farming season."

The uncle nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange it. As long as I'm not busy here, I will definitely go to help."

"We did make a lot of money from this plane swap. I could give you a few thousand each, but I don't think it's appropriate because money is about karma. If you don't work hard, you won't be able to handle the wealth. Fu Gang, Fu Hong, Fu Qiang, these cousins ​​worked with me, and each of them made more money than you can imagine, but they all deserved it."

The uncle gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xia Lian is right. Everyone has their own destiny. Money can only be earned through work. Money given by others without hard work is just floating wealth that cannot be kept. You have given us enough. Look at the cigarettes your fifth uncle has in his pocket."

As the uncle spoke, he took out the Huazi hidden by the fifth uncle. The fifth uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "This was given to me by a customer when I was at the market."

It is actually quite laborious to raise the two stallions that my uncle has. They need at least seven or eight kilograms of feed every day, and one has to work hard to get grass. But they are rare and valuable, and almost no one keeps them. I can easily make several hundred dollars a month, and the feed is only ten cents per kilogram. It's such a bargain.

In front of us is a wild mountain that has not been cultivated by anyone and is full of rocks.

Li Daniu came over to ask Liu Xialian for leave: "Sister, I want to go up the mountain to catch scorpions, okay?"

"Go ahead. Remember to come back for dinner this afternoon. Daya, are you going?"

Daya shook her head: "I won't go. I want to protect my sister."

Liu Xia Lian turned to her uncle and said, "Oh, by the way, let's start collecting scorpions. We'll send them away together with the honeysuckle after they're dry in a few days."

"Collecting scorpions? How does it work?"

"You buy at the market price, and I'll buy your goods at a 30% premium. I can make at least 3200 yuan a month."

"How about this, let your sixth uncle take care of this job. I'm strong and healthy, and my family has horses and donkeys. My income can keep up with it. I also get several dozen yuan a month for managing medicinal materials. I'm not short of money. There are too many things to do and I can't handle them all."

"Okay, then I'll arrange for Uncle Six."

In fact, this is just a small business, and Liu Xia Lian didn't make any money from it. It was the goods that the boss in Anguo wanted.
