Chapter 618 Ginseng Harvest
The pharmaceutical factories in Northeast China and the daily chemical factories have already been on track. The pharmaceutical factories in the capital are already good and operate well after the reform. Zhou Tiantian doesn’t need to worry too much.
As for the construction of pharmaceutical factories in Hebei and Jiangxi, people also watched them. They would ask Zhou Tiantian for advice when encountering important things. If Jiang Yanzhe had time, he would also go over and take a look.
So Zhou Tiantian was quite comfortable after she became pregnant. She slept in until eight o'clock in the morning, got up and had breakfast and went out for a walk while the weather was not too hot.
After lunch, they took a nap and finished their meal in the evening. If Jiang Yanzhe was at home, the young couple would go out for a walk.
When I was pregnant and raised, I just ate, slept and slept like this.
In a blink of an eye, the hot summer passed, and the autumn wind brought a hint of coolness. Zhou Tiantian, who had been in the summer, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The summer in the capital is really too hot.
"Dad, how are you doing at home? Are you doing the sticks? Have you made the goods?"
On the night of National Day, Zhou Anhe was finally busy. He took some time to call the capital, and Zhou Tiantian started chatting with her father with the phone.
"I haven't finished yet. Our family has two places this year, and we have only been half of them." Zhou Anhe, who was on the other end of the phone, was tired in his voice.
"Otherwise, we can't be so hard. This year our mallet production is good, and an average of 10 zhang can be about thirty kilograms.
Didn’t you and Yanzhe suggest that you stay for a few more years? Didn’t you take stock this year? How heavy is the largest one that has been launched at the moment?”
When Zhou An and Ke mentioned their own stick, they became energetic and their tone was also full of excitement.
In 1993, the market for ginseng was not good and the price fell seriously.
At that time, Jiang Yanzhe and Zhou Tiantian both gave Zhou Anhe ideas, and they would buy the ginseng in the field and sell it. They should try to keep it as good as possible for a few years.
Zhou Anhe really stayed for more than ten feet, kept it in the ground and didn't get up. This year, he finally got up.
"Mom, listen to my dad's happy, how could it be? Can you still get a pound of heavy?" Zhou Tiantian also remembered this, and heard that her dad was so happy, so she deliberately joked.
It is rare for ordinary ginseng to grow more than four taels of a tree in these days. Can it grow to a pound of ginseng no matter how big it is?
"One pound? You really underestimate our mallet. Let me tell you, the smallest one is eight and half, nine pounds, and the largest one is two or eight pounds."
Zhou Anhe's excited and excited voice came from the phone, making Han Caiying and Jiang Yanzhe who were listening to the phone also excited.
"What, two pounds and eight ounces? My god, how big should it grow? It's almost the same as a big radish?" Han Caiying exclaimed from the side.
"Big radish? Have you ever seen such a beautiful big radish? I tell you that the whiskers are almost one foot long.
I haven't done anything else these days, so I just looked at the ten-foot sticks. They were picking out one by one from the soil alone, for fear that if I cut it a little bit, I would lose money.
Fortunately, I was very careful at that time and didn't use a sack to put it in. I put it all in a paper box, and only twenty or thirty trees were loaded in one box.
I estimated that one zhang can raise more than one hundred kilograms. Just these ten zhang mallets, the ones raised piled up a room in the west room." Zhou An and the proud ones would not be mentioned.
When planting ginseng, the general line spacing is eight inches and the plant spacing is about three inches. That is to say, about 170 or 80 trees can be planted in one zhang of ginseng soil.
When Zhou Anhe planted ginseng, he had large ginseng plants, so he adjusted the row spacing to one foot and the plant spacing to about four inches. Even so, there were 120 to thirty trees in one foot.
This ginseng has been growing in the field for six or seven years, and some of it must have rotted, so in the end, there are only about seventy or eighty trees left.
Zhou Anhe was very attentive to serve ginseng, especially these ten-foot sticks, who chased bean cakes and were fattened every year, and they were very well managed.
So not much rotten, and ginseng grows very well, otherwise it wouldn't have grown so big.
Zhou Anhe just said that the smallest tree is more than eight liang, nine liang, and the largest one is two jin and eight liang. You can imagine how heavy these seventy or eighty ginseng trees are.
That year, the Zhou family stayed more than ten feet apart, but why didn’t they raise more than a thousand kilograms? They didn’t use sacks, but cardboard boxes. Needless to say, it’s easy to pile up a room.
"Your uncle and second uncle are all living in our house now, so I'm afraid that someone will come into our house at night and steal the stick.
That sweet, give Yanzhe the phone number and I have something to discuss with him."
Of course, what Zhou Anhe trusted the most was Jiang Yanzhe. He was unsure of his mind, so he went to Jiang Yanzhe to discuss it.
When Zhou Tiantian heard this, she handed the phone to Jiang Yanzhe, "Then, our dad is looking for you." Then she moved aside and joined Han Caiying and listened to what they were saying.
Jiang Yanzhe picked up the phone and greeted Zhou Anhe with a smile, "Dad, congratulations, my family has made a lot of money this year.
What? Have you encountered something difficult? You said, let me see if I can come up with an idea for you?"
"Yanzhe, please help dad figure out how I make these big sticks?
Oh, I'm so worried. I don't think it's worth it no matter how you do such a boss." Zhou An and the other end were worried again.
There is no such a big stick on the market at present, and there is no reliable price reference, so he is worried that he doesn't know how to take out.
Pharmaceutical factories use ordinary goods, so how can they be so big? He is worried about whom to sell the sticks to.
Chang Yanzhe laughed as soon as he heard this, "Dad, listen to me, hurry up and buy some foam boxes and pack all the big and good-shaped ones in foam boxes."
If there is moss, wrap it with moss. If there is no moss, cover it with soil. Never blow it dry or rot.
Then you call the customers in the south and ask them if they want it. If you want it, go and choose it yourself.
I also called familiar Southern customers later and asked what they mean.
It would be a pity to get such a big ginseng into the pharmaceutical factory to prepare medicine. It would be cleaned and soaked in wine. It would look so good there."
Many rich people in the south like to place a large glass bottle at home, which uses ginseng and other medicinal materials to make wine. Most of the popular fresh ginseng in recent years have been sold to southerners for wine.
If there was a big stick that weighed more than one pound, soaked a large glass bottle of wine and placed it on the table and cabinet, how shameful would it be?
You can also give gifts. If anyone takes advantage of a big stick that is more than one pound, the recipients will be happy?
So this stick must not be used as a product, so it has to sell fresh ones and make it back to make wine by themselves.
"Hey, yes, yes, it's still your brain that works well. Why didn't I expect it?
Okay, then I won’t tell you anymore. I will call you quickly. I will go to Taocheng foam box tomorrow morning.
If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Guangzhou in person and ship the goods to sell them. These sticks are worth a trip."
Zhou Anhe was particularly happy after hearing Jiang Yanzhe's words, so he hurriedly hung up the phone and contacted some customers in previous years.
