Chapter 18 One Dog, Two Cats and Three Foxes (please recommend)

Shuangdian is a well-known ginseng planting county in Beijiang. The area of ​​ginseng planted in the county every year ranks first among other counties in Beijiang.Relying on garden ginseng, a large-scale industrial planting chain has also been formed.

Compared with going to deep mountains and old forests to find wild ginseng, which is more expensive but is becoming scarcer in quantity every year.This kind of garden ginseng, which can be harvested within six years of planting, is undoubtedly more popular among the people.Planting garden ginseng is also a hard and dangerous task.

In the past, garden ginseng was contracted by ginseng farms affiliated to forest farms or directly by various brigades.However, as the country liberalized the contract cultivation of ginseng, more and more families began to contract ginseng land, hoping to make a fortune.

In fact, the price of garden ginseng has continued to rise in recent years. Not to mention the public's enthusiasm for planting garden ginseng, many units have also begun to contract ginseng land privately and hire people to help plant and manage the garden ginseng land.

It may seem like hiring someone costs a lot of money, but compared to the income you earn from harvesting, the expense of hiring someone is not that much!
But Mu Shanhe, who has memories of his past life, knows very well that there are not many years left to make money from planting ginseng.In a few years, as the supply of garden ginseng exceeded demand, the price of the highly regarded garden ginseng also began to plummet.

Although garden ginseng fell silent for a few years, it was once again recognized by the market.But growing ginseng there will also become more difficult than it is now.Because planting ginseng requires truly fertile mountain forest soil.

Many of the lands where garden ginseng is planted are cleared from forest farms after felling.After planting garden ginseng, the originally fertile soil will instantly become barren.If you want to recover again, I'm afraid it will take a long time.

Looking at the garden ginseng land in front of me, my grandfather also bought it from the forest farm.Because of its remote location and relatively small area, there are not many interested growers.The key is that many villagers did not dare to take action easily at that time.

I am used to eating from a big pot, but suddenly I have to bear the responsibility for profits and losses, and spend real money.Not to mention that many villagers cannot afford the cost of contracting and subsequent planting. Even those who have money in their pockets will feel guilty.

But Mu Shanhe, who had returned from rebirth, knew very well that when his batch of garden ginseng came on the market, it would be the best year for garden ginseng.Those who have contracted to plant gardens in the past two years may still be able to make a fortune, but those who have just planted them this year may be at risk.

"Forget it, even if I say this, no one will believe it. When I make money, and there are risks in growing ginseng, no one will believe it. While there are still two years left, I will also think about it. What can I do after selling the ginseng?"

Even if Mu Shanhe decides that he will have mountains as his neighbors and forests as his companions in the future, he still has to find something to do.But what to do specifically needs to be carefully considered.After all, no matter what you want to do, you must have money!
Although he doesn’t have much experience with plantation ginseng.But in the early years, many garden ginsengs were also planted in the village.He and his grandfather have participated in growing ginseng, harvesting ginseng and even processing garden ginseng every year, so they have accumulated some experience.

The more than 100 feet of garden ginseng land in front of me was managed very well by my grandfather during his lifetime.However, follow-up management, top dressing, etc. all require Mu Shanhe to do it himself.When he is not on the mountain, he spends his time taking care of the ginseng garden.

Occasionally, villagers from the village came to Wangyunling and saw the new residence built by Mushanhe alone and the ginseng garden he managed. They all said with emotion: "Xiaoshanzi, I didn't expect that you still have this kind of house." ability!"

"It's not bad! After all, I learned a lot from my grandpa in the early years. Whether this ginseng is good or not, I won't know until I start ginseng."

"That's right! If you really need to take good care of your ginseng, I'm afraid you can really make a lot of money when you start ginseng!"

When Mu Xingye took the lead in leasing garden ginseng land, many people in the village were not very optimistic about it.However, in the past two years, the price of garden ginseng has continued to rise, and many villagers regret it, wondering why they did not dare to take action in the first place.

Because of this, the contract prices for ginseng lands reclaimed by forest farms in the past two years have also risen.Compared with the price when Muxingye was contracted, it almost doubled.But even so, there are still people rushing to contract.

Knowing that he was in Wangyunling, there were more villagers visiting the garden, and the people in the village gradually got used to it. The days of pastoral mountains and rivers were no longer in the village.When the autumnal equinox arrives, the originally sultry mountain forests suddenly become much cooler.At this time, the fox, who was almost full moon, finally gave birth to two cubs in one night.Seeing two more rays of merit, Mu Shanhe was very satisfied and said, "Does this also have merit?"

When I thought about it again, I felt it was natural.If he hadn't saved the injured and pregnant fox that day, how could the two little foxes have been successfully born?Save one and give two, three rays of merit are natural.

After nearly a month of feeding, the fox's originally injured leg still seemed to be somewhat injured, but the range of activities of the female fox had become much wider.The wooden house where tools are stored has also become the nest of mother and son three foxes.

The bobcat cubs that have also been fed for a long time have now gained some weight and have even become more active.But when facing Da Qing, they still didn't dare to act boldly, knowing that they couldn't resist the guy in front of them.

Considering that the weather is about to get colder, Mu Shanhe also rearranged the nests of the fox family and the lynx cubs.Although they know it, they are not afraid of the cold.But with a warm nest, I finally slept more comfortably.

Looking at the cute appearance of the newly born little fox, Mu Shanhe also felt very happy.The postpartum nutrition given to foxes is naturally very good.Correspondingly, the female fox also completely trusted Mu Shanhe.

In contrast, no matter whether it was Daqing or a lynx cub, as long as it dared to get close to the wooden house, its hair would instantly become explosive, and threatening roars would constantly be heard in its mouth.It can be seen that the female fox is still very protective of her cubs!

"With the current situation, you and your family of three are probably going to mess with me this winter. I just hope that when spring comes next year, you can return to the mountains and forests. After all, that is the world that truly belongs to you."

I wonder if it was because of the adoption of the fox family and the lynx that Mu Shanhe, who had previously planned to go hunting in the mountains, suddenly became less interested.In his opinion, hunting is something that a trainee mountain god shouldn’t do, right?
Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler, and there are a lot of things to do in the garden.Anyone who has planted ginseng in the garden knows that ginseng is a delicate plant and if not managed properly, it is likely to end up with no harvest.

It won't work if it's cold, too hot, not enough water, or if it's too much.All in all, from planting to growing ginseng, management must be more precise in the later stages.This is why garden ginseng fields need special care.

After the upper part of the garden ginseng has dried up and before the soil freezes, the ginseng border surface and border edges are covered with leaves, straw, wormwood or soil on the working road to help preserve moisture and prevent the occurrence of thaw-type frost damage.

Just this delicate work is enough to keep Mu Shanhe busy for a while.Fortunately, the money I earned from selling ginseng before was not spent much now.So when it came to hunting in the mountains, he thought it would be okay to take it slow for the time being.

The most important thing is that after the weather cools down, the animals in the mountains will also start to prepare for winter.This garden ginseng land in my house may inevitably become a feeding place for some animals.If you stay in the garden, you won't have to worry about hunting.

"They want to harm my ginseng, so if I am forced to fight back, it doesn't count as harming living creatures, right?"

In order to find an excuse and reason for hunting, Mu Shanhe strengthened the protective fence of the ginseng garden and even used it as a wind barrier to ensure that the ginseng garden would not lose temperature or freeze.Several pits were even dug in front of the fence.

Because Mu Shanhe knew that during this season, once the wild boars found the land planted with ginseng, they would not be able to resist digging and gnawing on it.If they really succeed, the ginseng fields they have harmed will probably suffer heavy losses!
