I take the whole village out of poverty and become rich

Chapter 114
October 28, [-], sunny.

It was late autumn, and the dawn was much later than in summer, and there was only a little gray morning light at six o'clock in the morning.

But the courtyards of the three groups have already been busy, washing their faces, brushing their teeth, eating, and then taking tools, according to the area designated during the meeting last night, they went to the "battlefield".

Today will be very tiring, and there will be no wages, but everyone has no complaints, and is more excited than usual.

Because today is the day they have worked and harvested this year.

The man was carrying a hoe (a digging tool similar to a hoe but lighter than a hoe), with a basket hanging on the handle, and the woman was holding scissors, and went up the hillside with Chen Guang.

When they arrived at the medicine field, everyone followed the method Mr. Hu said yesterday, well, it was not too different from their usual method, but it was more scientific.

First remove the stems and leaves from the ground, and then dig a deep ditch on the side of the salvia miltiorrhiza with a shovel, so that the roots of the salvia miltiorrhiza are exposed.

Then go forward along the salvia miltiorrhiza, dig out the complete root, be careful not to dig it off.

Then use scissors to trim the remaining stems, and then expose the dug salvia to the medicine field.

Wait until the soil is dry, then clean off the soil on the roots, carefully stack them in baskets, and send them to the drying yard to dry the water.

The villagers in Hushan Village used to "sweat", that is, piled salvia miltiorrhiza together to let the water inside them evaporate quickly.

But Mr. Hu told them that this method of operation would reduce the content of tanshinone, which has the most obvious medicinal value in salvia miltiorrhiza, so it was abandoned.

Easier said than done.

180 mu of medicine fields, nearly [-] mu after sorting out, involves excavation, exposure, soil clearing, basket loading, and transshipment.

Men, women and children in the cooperative went to battle together, and they took their meals to eat in the field. Under the rare sun, after a busy day, they only got about one-third of their own tasks.

Huo Qianli was not idle either, he also rolled up his sleeves and joined the working team. At this moment, he was sitting dirty on the ground to rest his breath, drinking from a big tea mug while frowning.

Gu Daqiang took a puff of his cigarette and pointed at the red clouds in the sky, "Don't worry, the sun will still be shining tomorrow."

Huo Qianli sighed, turned his head and glanced, "It will take at least two days, and it will be difficult if it rains the next day."

Gu Daqiang flicked the cigarette ash, "It's unrealistic to ask the first group and the second group to help."

After more than a year of tacit understanding, before Huo Qianli opened his mouth, Gu Daqiang knew what he was thinking, and at the same time he rarely denied it.

Huo Qianli turned to look at him, Gu Daqiang explained: "First, they have to accept their own, and second, if something goes wrong, it will be very difficult to deal with."

Huo Qianli pondered for a while, and had to agree with Gu Daqiang's judgment.

Working in the field and being in a hurry, no one can guarantee whether it will be broken or broken.

It’s easy for the members of the cooperative to talk about it, and no one will intentionally harm their own interests, but if other people come to help, we must not only guard against the darkness of human nature, but also prevent quarrels and disputes caused by unintentional mistakes and malicious speculation. .

Gu Daqiang comforted, "I think it should be fine. God has tormented us for so many years, and it's time for us to give us a little favor. It's not too much to ask for a few sunny days!"

Huo Qianli smiled wryly and shook his head, but he also knew that some things could not be forced. Although the villagers were hard-working, they were willing to rush to harvest overnight, but the key was that there was no light, which was a big trouble.

Even if you try to find a way to pull a wire and hang an electric light, you can't clean out the well-developed roots of Danshen hidden in the soil as accurately as in the daytime.

He suddenly had an idea, "Brother, brother, I have an idea."

He looked at the villagers who were cleaning the roots, "Tell me, if we dig during the day and find some lighting equipment at night to clean the roots and put them in baskets, then transfer, can it work?"

Gu Daqiang pondered for a while, "It's okay, it's fine to clear the mud with a flashlight next to it, but is it necessary? As long as the day after tomorrow is sunny, we can just finish it like today, which is very comfortable."

Huo Qianli smiled, "Brother, do you still remember, how did you refute me when I first told you about planting medicinal materials? You ask me, what should I do if I fail?"

Gu Daqiang's complexion changed, "I want it! I'll go door-to-door to ask everyone to arrange it at night!"

He understood Huo Qianli's words, what if?What if it rains tomorrow?What if it rains for several days?
They dare not gamble even if it is only in case, because they cannot afford to lose.

Can't afford to lose at every level.

So, the next day, the harvesting strategy changed.

As soon as it was dawn, everyone began to dig directly, and then dried it in the ground.

Those who moved quickly went to help those who moved slowly, and it was almost time to collect them in the evening, but the sunset was gone in the sky.

Then take out the flashlights that have been prepared long ago, and match men and women in the family, one to help with lighting, and the other to shine on the dim light, carefully clean up the dried soil on the roots, and then alternate rotations.

During the whole process, no one from the cooperative complained.

Even people like Gu Gang know that this is for their own family, and it is good for their own family.

Huo Qianli also made a special trip to the town to borrow a batch of emergency lighting sources from Secretary Zheng.

That night, looking from a distance, on the mountain forest in the dark night, there were dots of light sources, shaking and trembling from time to time.

The full moon in the sky is bright and bright, the stars are dim, and the stars seem to have fallen into this peaceful valley.

Liu Xiaoyu stood on the small slope where Huo Qianli often went, holding up the camera, and the shutter went dark, leaving this scene forever.

Another day of light came, and the people who worked hard all day and night transported the last few baskets of salvia to the drying yard. They were exhausted and excited beyond words.

Because there are too many salvia harvested this time!

I didn't feel it when I was busy collecting it before, but now when I gather together to look at it, everyone's eyes are almost widening.

This drying ground used to be the only concrete floor in Hushan Village. It was the size of two basketball courts and could hold nearly [-] drying mats at the same time.

Now there are twenty drying mats placed on it, and the salvias on the drying mats are all piled up, forming a hill shape and densely packed.

Then there were more than 200 baskets placed around, and the entire three sets of baskets were almost used up.

A villager swallowed, "How many Le Rimas are there? (How many frankly are there)"

"One basket (basket) is one hundred catties, and more than 200 is more than 2 catties. The one on the drying mat is one or two thousand catties, and the drying mat is at least three to forty thousand catties. One ha (total) It must be six to seventy thousand catties!"

"Hammer, we used to pile up [-] to [-] catties in one group, and we didn't even get one-fifth of it here. I think it's at least [-] catties."

"I think it's more than 180 catties. There's a total of 500 mu of land. One hundred thousand catties per mu is only 200 catties, or [-] kilograms when converted into kilograms. Expert Hu said at least [-] kilograms per mu of land!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, a villager next to him grinned and said, "It's done, it's about to be done!"

"Impossible, we are going to watch the night these days, we must not let some dogs be jealous and sabotage!"

"Damn, we must watch the night, send more people!"

Next, these salvias will be exposed to the sun for several days in the drying yard. When the water content drops below 12%, they will be dry to the touch and broken when folded. Just wait for delivery.

In the past few days, there must be no problems.

"However, judging by the current situation, I'm afraid this drying place won't be able to hold it."

"Hey! The dam of the village committee can also use thiamine, we just divide it into two groups."

"Damn it, discuss it with Cadre Huo!"

"Eh? Cadre Huo?"

"It was still there last night!"

A villager saw Gu Daqiang approaching, and quickly asked: "Village chief, what about Mr. Huo?"

Gu Daqiang said, "Go to Jincheng!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then excited smiles appeared on their faces!

What else can we do in Jincheng at this time!

To get money!

Gu Daqiang glanced at them lightly, "Grand Huo didn't sleep all night last night. He just went back and changed his clothes and left. He doesn't owe us anything. We have to fight for ourselves and handle the house affairs well! No Make it difficult for him!"

Everyone nodded again and again, "Village Chief, what do you do, you arrange it!"

On the minibus to Dongjiang County, Huo Qianli and Lao Tang sat side by side.

Lao Tang took out his phone and first sent a text message to Xia Wanqing, 【Mr. Xia, call you to report on the salvia harvesting work in Hushan Village, is it alright? 】

After a while, Xia Wanqing said hello, and Lao Tang called.

"Mr. Xia, after two days and one night of harvesting, all the products ordered by the Hushan Village Cooperative have been harvested, and the results are gratifying. Mr. Hu is on site to guide the follow-up processing. I will return to Jincheng to ask you for instructions on the follow-up work arrangements. Are you free today?"

Xia Wanqing said, "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Tang Yuxuan hesitated and said: "There is one more thing, Mr. Huo came with me, what do you think about his arrangements?"

Xia Wanqing thought for a while, "How about this, tell him that we will have hot pot together at the Lion Tower tonight."

Before Tang Yuxuan had time to be happy, Xia Wanqing said, "You haven't been home for a long time, so go back and spend time with your wife and children when you arrive."

　And tonight.But it will be later, don't wait.
