Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 22 is full of harvest

  Xu Shiyan stayed on the platform under Lazi for eight days.

  When he left home, he only brought seven days' rations with him. If it wasn't for the black bear, Xu Shiyan would have to carry the ginseng hungry.

  The black bear weighing more than three hundred catties has been skinned and gutted, and there is still a lot of meat left.

   Part of it was salted by Xu Shiyan, dried and preserved, and the other part was either boiled in soup or baked to eat, with pancakes, at least for the past few days.

   Fortunately, it was under the stone ladle, even if the beast smelled blood, it would not be able to get down.

  Two nights, Xu Shiyan heard wolves howling above Lazi. He probably wandered around for a long time and couldn't get down, so he finally left.

   In this way, in eight days, four ginseng plants were finally brought out.

  At first he thought that the six-leaf tree was the biggest, but when he lifted it out, he discovered that there was a five-leaf tree that was even bigger.

  There is a child with thick arms, a long body, and a beautiful figure. The only shortcoming is that there is a problem with the reed head.

  Seeing the reed head, Xu Shiyan probably understood what was going on, it was Zhuantai ginseng.

  The growth of wild ginseng depends on the regeneration of buds. Once the buds are damaged, they will not be unearthed in the next year.

  Wild ginseng has the ability to hide. Although it will not be unearthed in the next year, the roots will not rot.

  After more than ten years or decades, new buds will be bred and unearthed again, which is commonly known as Zhuantai ginseng.

  The reborn wild ginseng may produce five leaves or two Jiazi.

  The tree that Xu Shiyan dug up has five leaves. It doesn't look big, but in fact the roots underneath are at least five or six taels.

  So, this Zhuantai ginseng is very likely to be the ancestor of these ginsengs on the platform.

  If it hadn't been dormant underground for decades, it would probably grow even bigger.

   There is an old saying, "Seven taels is the treasure of eight taels." This eight taels refers to the eight taels of hexadecimal in the past, which is half a catty when converted into today's scales.

  Xu Shiyan remembers that in his previous life, it seemed that in 1981, a wild ginseng seedling was unearthed in Beigang Commune, which weighed five taels of seven coins and was about 150 years old.

  The ginseng tree was finally treasured in the Great Hall, which is called a national treasure.

   The tree in Xu Shiyan's hand should not be too heavy, that is to say, it is definitely a rare treasure.

   Just this one tree, after 40 years, I am afraid that tens of millions will not be able to buy it.

   And the other two six-leaf trees are not light in weight, they have to be four or two. Even if you sell it now, you can sell it for at least 2,000 yuan.

  The smallest one weighs about two or three. According to the current purchase price, it can be sold for about a thousand or so.

  Xu Shiyan is not greedy, even though there are still a lot of ginseng on the platform, he can't take any more.

  Keep it, maybe he will come again if he has a chance in the future. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have that opportunity, he has already obtained great benefits, and he must be content in life.

  So, I packed up several ginseng bags, and put the three big ones at the bottom of the rucksack.

   Then try to put the dried bear meat and boiled bear oil in, and finally put two small ginseng buns on it.

   Prepared and dried bear paws, wrapped them in bear skin, tied them with bark, and kept the bear bile in his bosom.

   All kinds of things were thrown up three times, and then Xu Shiyan walked back with such big and small bags.

  Just halfway through the distance, I heard someone shouting something in the distance. After careful identification, it was actually calling Xu Shiyan's name.

   What's going on? Who ran into the mountains to look for him?

  Xu Shiyan hurriedly responded here, and then walked quickly to where the sound came from, yelling as he walked.

   It is estimated that they heard the movement over there, so they also walked this way.

   Walking forward for more than a mile, Xu Shixian, Xu Shian and others walked towards them.

   "Third brother, you are getting more courageous, aren't you? Going into the mountains alone, you will die?"

  Xu Shi first saw his younger brother, he was relieved at first, and then a fire came up, and he was about to kick him.

  Xu Shiyan dodged to avoid, "What are you doing? I'm here to let go of the mountain, and I'm not going out to drink and make money."

   "How dare you say that? Do you know that our parents are dying of anxiety at home?

  This is a family separation. If you don’t accept the control of the heavens, you dare to run into the woods by yourself. "Xu Shi'an was also impatient, and yelled at his younger brother.

   "Third brother, you are too capable. You said that if something happened to you, what would you ask our parents to do? What would you ask Third Sister-in-law to do?

  The third sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, do you want the child to be born without a father? "The fifth child, Xu Shixiang, also spoke up.

  Xu Shiyan didn't take other people's words to heart, but Lao Wu's words surprised him.

   "What? You have your third sister-in-law?" Xu Shiyan exclaimed, and then slapped his forehead.

  Days, he actually forgot about this important event.

  In the previous life, after Xu Shiyan and Su Anying got married, they went to the Daan Coal Mine. After a while, there came the good news that Su Anying was pregnant.

   In April 1978, Su Anying gave birth to a boy.

   I don’t know if it’s because of poor life, lack of nutrition, or some other reason, the child was born with deficiencies.

  The skin is a thin layer, and the internal organs and skull can be seen directly, so I really dare not even touch it.

  Many children are born without opening their eyes. That child was born with wide eyes, looking around, wishing to see every corner of the house.

  The child didn’t cry, fuss, or nurse, and only lived for seven days. Everyone who knew said that this child shouldn't have been born in Xu's family, so they came to see if it didn't work, and then left.

  Xu Shiyan was always at the Daan Coal Mine, so he seldom went home. Besides, he was still young at that time, so he didn’t have much intention of getting close to his children.

  The child was gone, and Xu Shiyan was sad for a while, and then he didn't think about it again.

  Later, Su Anying gave birth to two daughters and a son. With three children by her side, she would never think of the child who died young.

  After being reborn, Xu Shiyan only thought about the two daughters in his previous life, and completely forgot about this child.

   Now that Su Anying was pregnant, Xu Shiyan remembered it.

   "Quick, hurry home." He had to go back quickly and take his wife to the hospital to have a look, maybe he could save the baby.

  Xu Shiyan raised his legs and ran back. The three brothers saw the whole pile of things he was carrying on his straps, and they couldn't help him.

   "What's all this? Look at your big bag? Is this a black blind man's skin? Did you meet a black blind man when you went into the mountains?"

  Xu Shian stretched out his hand to pick up the thing in his younger brother's hand, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the fur of a black blind man. He immediately shuddered and asked.

   "Well, a black blind man broke into my shack and drank the wine I brought up the mountain. He was so drunk that I went back and looked and killed him."

  Xu Shiyan dare not say that he was kicked out by the black blind man and almost died. If he said that, he would probably have to kick him.

  So Xu Shiyan made up some nonsense and fooled it, so as not to make a fuss in the family.

  The three brothers of the Xu family were speechless when they heard it. Strange things happen every year, especially this year. The third child in their family is so lucky, right? Can this also kill a black blind man?

   "Did you encounter a stick in the past few days in the mountains?" Xu Shixian couldn't help asking.
