Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 140 Making a small fortune

  There are uncertainties in running a sideline business in the mountains. No one knows what and how many people will encounter when entering the mountains.

  Anyway, Xu Shiyan dug Gastrodia elata when he saw it, picked up mushrooms when he saw it, and one day he came across Ganoderma lucidum.

  On a wind-fallen tree, a ring of Ganoderma lucidum grew, the big ones were like a plate, and the small ones were as big as a palm, with a dozen or so flowers.

  The few who followed Xu Shiyan into the mountain at that time were all stunned. They had never seen so many Ganoderma lucidum before.

  Changbai Mountain Ganoderma lucidum belongs to the red Ganoderma lucidum, the color is dark red.

  The front and stipe of Ganoderma lucidum are covered with a layer of hard and shiny waxy substance, while the back is fine and porous.

  Changbai Mountain Ganoderma lucidum has high medicinal value, but at present, its value has not been excavated by people.

  The local people call Ganoderma lucidum wood Ganoderma lucidum, and they don’t regard it as a good thing, and sometimes the purchasing stations don’t accept it.

  Xu Shiyan didn't plan to sell it either, he picked up the Ganoderma lucidum for his family to use.

  Ganoderma lucidum has the effects of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor. It can be reserved for Xu Shian and the old man.

  Under Zhou Guilan's persuasion and supervision, Xu Shi'an ate all the wild boar stomachs he made in winter.

   This time, I will eat Ganoderma lucidum next time. As long as it is the method Xu Shiyan can think of, I will use it. I hope it will be effective.

  At Xu Chenghou's age, he should start to take care of his body. As long as he pays more attention, he won't get sick so suddenly and go away.

   It takes a short time to dig Gastrodia elata, and within ten days, Gastrodia elata seedlings grow taller and bloom.

   After a while, the seedlings of Gastrodia elata began to turn black and rot into a net shape, giving birth to many small Gastrodia elata cubs.

   And those big gastrodia elata will become empty.

  When Gastrodia elata is gone, the properties of the medicine will be poor, and the price will not be sold, so no one will dig it anymore.

   Clean the Gastrodia elata that has been dug home, and cook in a pot.

   In the past, digging was less, and it was cooked with millet porridge, so that the cooked Gastrodia elata was dried and weighed, and the color was good.

  But there are a lot of Gastrodia elata dug now, and there is not so much millet to cook with, so we can only boil it in clean water.

  The cooked gastrodia elata are put outside to dry, the big ones are directly placed on the mat, and the small ones can be strung together with threads.

  Emerged Gastrodia elata is just a piece of skin after drying, which is not worth weighing.

  The most valuable is the big one, which turns slightly yellow when dried, translucent, and of the best quality. Generally, four or five catties of the big one can be dried for one catty.

  The price of dried Gastrodia elata is not high. The county medicine company buys it.

  Xu Shiyan digs at least 20 to 30 catties a day, and at most one day meets Gastrodia elata, and digs more than 70 catties of fresh Gastrodia.

  In less than ten days, I saved sixty to seventy catties of dry goods, and got another sum of money.

   "Why do I think it is easier to make money here in Donggang than in a big house?"

  Xu Shiyan took time to go to the county medicinal materials company and sold Gastrodia elata. When he came back to report the bill to his wife, Su Anying was there feeling emotional.

   "It must be much easier, there are many people here, and there are many opportunities.

  Of course, the most important thing is that our family has an extra bicycle, so I can go running in distant places, and of course earn more than others. "

   In the past, in the big house, every time Gastrodia elata was unearthed, everyone went to the mountain to dig.

   Walking on two legs is naturally no better than walking around with two wheels. Everyone walks close, and no one can dig too much.

  It’s like a large team over there, why do you say that a large team digs Gastrodia elata?

  The main reason is that they are on the east side, close to the back mountain of Gaolibaozi, where there are many gastrodia elata.

  There are still a few people who have bicycles these days, Xu Shiyan and the others can ride to farther places.

  Forty or fifty miles away, if you walk back and forth every day on two legs, and you have to run all over the mountain to find gastrodia elata, you may not be exhausted.

   But riding a bicycle is different. It takes less than two hours to get there for forty or fifty miles.

  Walk far, naturally have more opportunities and earn more money than others.

   "You haven't seen places like Qianchuan Forest Farm and Shengli Forest Farm.

  It is close to the Changbai Mountain Reserve, and everyone enters the reserve to do side jobs and earn more money. "Xu Shiyan smiled and explained to his wife.

  Su Anying is too lazy to analyze these things, she only knows that she can make money.

   "Just give me half of the money, and you can keep the rest.

   You go to buy everything in our house, you can't go back and ask me for money for everything, right?

  It’s a joke for a big man who doesn’t have any money in his pocket. "

  Su Anying counted the money, just like selling Niu Maoguang before, keeping half for herself and saving the other half for Xu Shiyan.

  Anyway, she usually coaxes the children and doesn't go out very often. Xu Shiyan does the shopping, and if she doesn't pay, where can Xu Shiyan change things back?

  The couple sat on the kang and talked, but no one paid attention to Xu Haiyuan lying on the kang.

   When they turned around by chance, they found that the little guy turned sideways at some point.

   "Daughter-in-law, did you sideways for the child?"

  Xu Shiyan felt strange, he didn't see his daughter-in-law moving the child just now, why did the child turn sideways?

   "No, I didn't touch him. I changed the diaper just now after feeding, and I put down the flat bed for him."

  Su Anying was also stunned when she saw her sleeping son lying on the side of the kang.

   "It is estimated that this kid turned over by himself. He has seen it for almost three months, and it is normal to learn to turn over."

  Su Anying has served several younger sisters, so she knows a lot about this.

   Turning over three times, sitting six times and crawling eight times is the law of a baby's growth. Most healthy children follow this rhythm.

   "Our son was born on April 18th, and it's already July 12th, almost 100 days ago.

  I reckon, after a hundred days, he will be able to turn everything over. "

   "It's July 12th today? Oh, the fifth child should have finished the exam, and I don't know how he did?

  I only went up the mountain this day, so I forgot about the serious business, so I had time to find someone to send a message back and ask. "

  Xu Shiyan suddenly remembered that at the beginning of July, Xu Shixiang took the college entrance examination.

   When did the exam results come out in the previous life? It seems that the results will come out at the end of July, and the admission results will come out in mid-August.

   "I hope that the fifth child will be admitted to the university smoothly, and he will have a good job in the future, so that he doesn't have to climb up at midnight and work in the fields in the middle of the night to be a fool."

  Xu Shiyan said, looking down at his sleeping son on the kang.

   "Little guy, you have to remember, you have to study hard when you grow up.

  In the future, you will also get into a good university, go to work in the city, and be a daughter-in-law in the city. Don’t be like your father, an old farmer. "

  Xu Shiyan stretched out his hand and touched his son's tender and chubby face, revealing the old father's satisfied smile.

  Xu Haiyuan in his sleep didn't know what his father expected for his future.

   I don't know what the little guy dreamed about in his dream, so he giggled suddenly, which startled Xu Shiyan.

   "Yo, what are you dreaming about? Did you dream of marrying a wife?" Xu Shiyan thought it was fun, and touched his son's face again.

   As a result, this time, she was slapped aside by Su Anying.

   "When you wake him up, you can coax him yourself. What time is this? If he wakes up at this time, he can play until midnight. Who can afford it?"

  Su Anying rolled Xu Shiyan's eyes and said angrily.

  Xu Shiyan pulled his daughter-in-law into his arms, and said with a light smile, "Then let's do something else while the brat is asleep?"
