Chapter 568 The First Ginseng Festival

  For the ginseng that has been scrubbed, pick out more than two or three ginseng that have no rot, no water rust, and no damage as a whole.

   After controlling the water, soak it directly in a large tank filled with loose wine.

  The wine is pure grain loose wine bought from Xinglong Xiaoshao.

  Last autumn, the dozen or so ginseng stalks left behind were bought by old customers in the south.

  A few days ago, several merchants called and said that they would order more ginseng of this kind of wine this year.

   It happened that the Xu family's clubs were pretty good this year, and they were quite a bit bigger, so Su Anying simply picked out some more and prepared the wine.

  Pick out the big ones to soak in wine, and put the rest directly into the steamed ginseng tank.

  This steamed ginseng tank is evenly heated, the temperature is controllable, and it has a large capacity, which is much better than a large pot or cage at home.

  Steamed red ginseng, the color is good when the fire is good.

  Ginseng comes out of the steamed ginseng tank, placed on a fork, dried outside during the day, and directly into the drying room at night.

  For large-scale processing, you can’t point them all to the sun, which is too troublesome.

   During the day, Su Anying watches the work in the processing factory, and sometimes goes to the ginseng market. Some sell fresh ginseng, and the price is almost the same.

  However, there are not many such opportunities. Most of the ginseng farmers do not have the same conditions as the Xu family.

  It is mainly ginseng run by some units. They do not have processing equipment, so they can only sell fresh ginseng directly. Or find a processing factory for processing.

  Su Anying has money in hand, and when she encounters a good product, she buys it back and takes it to a processing factory for processing.

   On September 15th, the first Fusong Ginseng Festival opened.

   As the big brother in the county-owned ginseng field, this kind of occasion is naturally indispensable.

  Lin Qiyue is not here, Xu Shiyan, as the second in command, must attend.

   On this day, the urban and rural areas of Fusong County were full of jubilation, with gongs and drums, singing and dancing.

   280,000 people celebrated their festival together, the first Ginseng Festival.

   At the ginseng festival celebration meeting, relevant leaders announced the “Decision on Establishing Fusong Changbai Mountain Ginseng Festival”.

  That is, starting from 1987, celebrations will be held every year during the ginseng harvest season.

  At the Ginseng Festival, there was a large-scale song and dance performance reflecting the life of the people in Sanxiang, which was last year's "Linhai Cangxiang Concert".

   This will be four performances in four consecutive days, pushing the atmosphere of Ginseng Festival celebration to the highest level.

  At the same time, more than 120 works of art, photography, and calligraphy that reflect the production and life of Sanxiang are also on public display.

  Among them, famous calligraphers and painters such as Shen Peng and Zhou Sicong all painted inscriptions for the hometown of ginseng.

  In the ginseng story meeting, well-known folk experts in the county will tell the story of Changbai Mountain ginseng. The content of the story is novel, interesting and fascinating.

  After nightfall, the fireworks rise into the sky, colorful.

   There are also several Yangko teams, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing, and the whole Er County is immersed in the festive atmosphere of the festival.

   "Magistrate Chang, why haven't I seen the Agricultural Products Fair? It seems that I haven't seen many domestic and foreign merchants?"

   When it was time for dinner in the evening, Xu Shiyan sat beside Chang Hongfa and asked in confusion.

  Chang Hong was stunned for a while, "Ah? What trade fair are you talking about?

  We are holding a ginseng festival, a cultural event, to celebrate our county's bumper ginseng harvest this year. "

  In 1987, the county's ginseng planting area was 1.5 million square feet, and it is estimated that 7 million catties of water ginseng can be produced this year. This is the most prosperous period in the history of Fusong ginseng development.

  The county decided to hold a ginseng festival, mainly to celebrate the harvest.

  Xu Shiyan was speechless for a while, what's the matter?

   Make such a big move, spend so much money, just for a cultural celebration? What international joke?

  "Culture sets up the stage, economics and trade play, we must know how to take the ginseng festival as an opportunity to vigorously promote economic development.

  Oh my God, such a great opportunity, no one thought of inviting more domestic and foreign customers, organizing participants, farmers, and enterprises to hold an agricultural product trade fair.

   Not to mention anything else, just these few days of ginseng festival, the minimum transaction volume is hundreds of millions. "

  The ginseng market opened last year, and the transaction volume on that day was tens of millions.

  This year, the county has such a large scale and grand ceremony. As long as we invite more domestic and foreign enterprises and merchants, and the transaction volume exceeds 100 million, it will be like playing.

   Has no one in the county thought of this matter?

  Chang Hongfa was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Damn it, no one mentioned it at all.

  I said before that I called you here and asked you to preside over the planning and preparation of this ginseng festival, but some people disagreed, saying that this is a cultural event. "

  Chang Hongfa slapped his thigh regretfully. The county spent a lot of money on organizing the ginseng festival this time, but the most important thing was not done.

   If we can use the ginseng festival to attract merchants from all over the world, it will be a big gain.

   This is a good deal, wasting such a good opportunity in vain.

  Xu Shiyan shook his head, someone who Chang Hongfa said disagreed, and he didn't need to guess who it was.

   Well, let him talk too much, he won't be bothered to give any ideas in the future, and the county has money to do whatever it likes, and it has nothing to do with him.

   "Well, County Magistrate Chang, it's getting late, I have to go back, it's the busiest time for participation, I have to go back and watch."

  Xu Shiyan didn't think it was interesting, so let's go home.

  It seems to be quite lively here, but in fact it is just a waste of time, and the business is not done.

   "Is it okay to go back so late? Or stay in the county for one night and go to my house."

  Chang Hongfa intends to keep Xu Shiyan, and wants to have a good chat with Xu Shiyan.

  Xu Shiyan shook his head, "No, the family is too busy.

  Secretary Lin has gone out, and I have several things in charge here, and I really can't let it go.

   Waiting for this busy period, I will visit again when I find a chance. "

  Chang Hongfa couldn't keep people, so he had no choice but to tell Xu Shiyan to pay attention to safety on the return journey.

  Xu Shiyan bid farewell to all the leaders, boarded the car, and returned to Donggang from the county.

  I didn’t go home either, and went straight to my own processing factory.

  He was worried about that place, and lived there at night, so he could deal with anything in time.

  The first Ginseng Festival lasted for four days. Xu Shiyan only showed his face on the first day, and then he simply stopped participating.

   Because of what Xu Shiyan said, Chang Hongfa had a private conversation with Li Jingyu.

  Li Jingyu didn't expect that Xu Shiyan would have such a proposal, but he didn't want to admit that he didn't expect it.

   Just keep emphasizing that this ginseng festival is a purely cultural event, not an economic trade.

  Chang Hong was so angry that he turned around and left.

  The first Ginseng Festival finally came to an end, and the grand occasion of the festival was reported by the provincial TV reporter and broadcast on the provincial TV news.

  The entire province knew about the ginseng festival, but that was all there was to it, and it didn't bring any additional benefits.

   On the other side, Lin Qiyue, who was in a foreign country, participated in the nine-day World Invention Expo.

  The Changbai Mountain red ginseng selected by a participant was unanimously praised by participants from various countries.

   And has been awarded the gold medal of this expo by 30 judges from all over the world.

  Lin Qiyue excitedly called Chen Jianzhang of the Specialty Products Bureau to report the good news.

  Then, the entire Erxian County was boiling. This is the first time that Fusong ginseng has won an international award.
