Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 122 Wild Ginseng

Making wine is actually a very simple thing.

After receiving the materials purchased by Chief Liu,

Wang Yuanchao started making wine.

There are a lot of wild grapes in Wang Yuanchao's space. This time, Wang Yuanchao used 500 kilograms of wild grapes to make wine at one time.

First, wash all the wild grapes with white wine and sterilize them.

Put the washed wild grapes into glass wine bottles and ceramic wine jars, and use a wooden masher to crush all the wild grapes in the glass wine bottles and ceramic wine jars.

Then add the rock sugar in a ratio of 10 to 2 and mix well with the grapes.

Then, for every 100 catties of grapes, stir 10 grams of yeast with warm water, add the yeast into the grapes, stir evenly,
You don't need to close the bottle cap tightly, just wait for the wine to ferment, which usually takes 7 days.

After finishing this, Wang Yuanchao continued to put some mountain products and game into his home every day.

During this period, Widow Du took Zhang Yuanyuan to work during the autumn harvest every day.

Wang Yuanchao has already released five small wild boars weighing about 100 pounds, more than 20 pheasants, more than 20 wild ducks, two roe deer, and three wild goats into his home.

After all the meat was marinated, Wang Yuanchao stopped bringing game meat home.

After all, there is so much meat at home that it can only be pickled in a large water vat and cannot be exposed to the light.

Fortunately, the weather in Northeast China gets colder day by day in September, so it’s okay to keep the meat at home for a long time.

On this day, Wang Yuanchao's farm finally sold all the poultry from the Provincial Electric Motor Factory.

Now there are only more than 400 pigs, more than 400 sheep, and about 1000 chickens, ducks and geese left in the poultry breeding base.

The number of people who need to work on the farm every day is also decreasing further.

After Wang Yuanchao finished his work, he went up the mountain carrying a bamboo basket and a machete.

On the black soil of Hongqi Brigade at the foot of the mountain, the villagers of Hongqi Brigade are working hard, racing against time to harvest grain.

This week, Wang Yuanchao has basically picked all the mountain products near his home.

Today Wang Yuanchao went up the mountain and walked slowly into the depths of the mountain.

As Wang Yuanchao walked deeper into the mountains, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate. Gradually, there were no roads in the mountains, and Wang Yuanchao had to use a machete to clear a path while walking.

Looking at the towering peaks around, the endless high mountains and steep cliffs, the clouds blocking the sun, the mist shrouded, and the red and yellow leaves all over the sky in autumn, it really is like a paradise on earth.

Suddenly, Wang Yuanchao felt a violent noise coming from the woods ahead.

He saw a black shadow rushing towards him. Wang Yuanchao clenched his machete and chopped it with a huge force, knocking the shadow back several steps.

Only then did Wang Yuanchao realize that it was a leopard. In the previous collision, his front paw was injured by the machete.

The leopard crouched slightly on all fours, raised its head, and stared at Wang Yuanchao anxiously, hissing from time to time.

Obviously, Wang Yuanchao was regarded as his prey. Although it was the first time for Wang Yuanchao to encounter such a ferocious beast as a leopard, he was skilled and courageous.
Holding the machete tightly in his hand, he slowly moved towards the leopard. The leopard saw Wang Yuanchao slowly approaching him and became more nervous.

He stood up, put his whole body in an attacking state, and slowly moved around Wang Yuanchao.

Wang Yuanchao stared at the leopard with his eyes fixed, holding a machete in his hand, ready to give the leopard a fatal blow at any time.

Suddenly the leopard couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Wang Yuanchao like a gust of wind.
But in the eyes of Wang Yuanchao, who had a very strong sense, the speed at which the leopard pounced seemed to be in slow motion.
Wang Yuanchao suddenly increased his speed, moved to the side of the direction where the leopard was pouncing, and fiercely swung the machete in his hand, chopping it hard on the leopard's neck.
The leopard's blood was splattered all over the air, but it did not die immediately. Instead, it ran a few steps in the other direction of the hillside before dying on the ground.

Wang Yuanchao walked over, picked up the leopard with one hand, and shook it. He found that the leopard was not small, weighing about 100 pounds.

Then Wang Yuanchao took the leopard into the space, cut open its belly with a knife, chewed up the leopard's blood and internal organs, threw them into the pig trough to feed the pigs, and then picked up the machete and continued walking.

After crossing this hillside, Wang Yuanchao came to a hillside that was sheltered from the sun and facing the sun.

Suddenly, I found a plant with six-color leaves, and on it there was a flower with a red fruit.

Wang Yuanchao observed carefully and suddenly his heart beat faster. He shouted "Bangchui" loudly, breaking the silence in the mountains.

Then Wang Yuanchao began to worry again. According to the books he had read in his previous life,
When digging ginseng, you need to use a red rope with copper coins tied at both ends to tie the stems and leaves of the ginseng.

Wang Yuanchao had neither this thing nor a small shovel to start digging.

You should know that digging ginseng is a delicate job. You have to preserve the ginseng roots well. Otherwise, if the roots are broken, the value of the ginseng will be greatly reduced.

Although Wang Yuanchao has planted 100 ginsengs in his space, there will be no shortage of wild ginsengs in the future.

But Wang Yuanchao would never miss this kind of windfall.
After all, Wang Yuanchao knew that if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences.

So Wang Yuanchao used the machete in his hand and began to slowly dig up the wild ginseng.

The roots of ginseng are also very interesting. They only grow in the black soil layer and turn around when they encounter the loess layer.

But if you want to dig it out with the ginseng root intact, you will have to put a lot of effort into it.

In order to avoid accidentally breaking the ginseng roots, Wang Yuanchao had to use a machete to dig down little by little.

It took Wang Yuanchao more than three hours to dig out the whole ginseng.

Wang Yuanchao held the wild ginseng he had just dug out in his hand. Looking at the wild ginseng he had dug out with so much difficulty, he took a deep breath.
Although Wang Yuanchao had never seen such a big ginseng in his two lifetimes,
But in his previous life, the Internet was well developed, and Wang Yuanchao had done a lot of research on ginseng online.
After all, at that time, I was old and had worked hard all my life, so I needed supplements the most.
Although he couldn't eat it, it didn't affect Wang Yuanchao's desire for it.
The wild ginseng in Wang Yuanchao's hand is 5.4 cm long and 3.2 cm thick, with its legs spread out like a Yuanbao.

There are five main whiskers, the longest of which is 5 cm long, which are as curvy and graceful as running script.

Judging from the stem marks, this wild ginseng must be a century old ginseng.

The skin of this wild ginseng is yellow-white, delicate and smooth, the body is beautiful, more than 2 feet long, and the whole body is covered with evenly symmetrical golden beads.

Wang Yuanchao is sure that this wild ginseng is the best among the century-old ginseng.

However, Wang Yuanchao couldn't judge how old this ginseng was.

So Wang Yuanchao quickly transplanted the wild ginseng into the black soil in his own space where he planted ginseng, allowing it to continue growing.
