Chapter 301: Developed successfully
Ginseng comes out of the field, and after being weighed and recorded, it is sent directly to the processing factory.
A ginseng processing plant is equipped with ginseng brushing machines, steaming ginseng tanks, dryers and other machines, which can mechanize most of the processes.
The way of processing ginseng in the First Participation Field is different from that in the Second Brigade and other places.
The ginseng brushing machine does not need manual brushing of ginseng. After the fresh ginseng is brushed by the machine, part of the ginseng needs to be broken off manually.
Therefore, a large number of people will be recruited to participate in the field, breaking off ginseng whiskers, straightening out ginseng whiskers, putting forks out of the pot, weighing, etc.
Temporary workers recruited from outside generally do tasks such as breaking and trimming ginseng beards.
Individual piece counting, each person will be given a few big bamboo baskets, and the sticks he broke out will be placed in the baskets, and when they are full, they will go to the scale to keep accounts.
Other things like swinging forks, weighing, drying, beard trimming, beard smoothing, packing, etc. Most of them are young people selected from the workers' families, who work quickly and are paid by the hour.
The technology group wants to develop a new product, ginseng instant honey slices. Fresh ginseng needs to be washed and sliced, and then marinated in honey.
Not to mention Changbai Mountain red ginseng, which requires more than a dozen processes, all of which require a lot of labor.
The technology group is not only responsible for the development of new products, but also supervises the quality and maintenance of related equipment.
So, from the first day of processing, the technical team has more than half of the staff in the processing factory.
At the Xu family's side, the Clivia seedlings have been finalized, and this year's new seeds have not yet been confiscated, so the daily management does not need to take too much thought.
Besides, both Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping have gone to school, and there are only two young ones left at home, so Zhou Guilan can take care of them by herself.
Sister Su Anfang discussed with Xu Shiyan that they wanted to find something else to do, so they couldn't stay idle all the time.
Xu Shiyan thought about it, the two sister-in-laws are quite capable, and there is a shortage of people at the other end of the processing factory.
The processing plant is very busy from the beginning of September to the beginning of November. In two months, it can earn seventy or eighty yuan, which is not bad.
Thus, Xu Shiyan arranged for the two sister-in-laws to go to the processing factory. With him around, he must have arranged jobs that were not too tiring but also paid a lot of money.
Sister Su Anfang was good at her job, and her hands and feet were quick, and no one else could find anything wrong with her, so she just stayed in the processing factory.
Xu's family didn't grow much land, and their own ginseng land was not much, so Xu Chenghou took care of it.
In the past few years, Xu Shiyan has been taking care of him. Every winter, Xu Chenghou is given some ointment or some herbal tea for conditioning.
Now Xu Chenghou has also noticed that he can't count on anyone but the third child, so while he can still move, try to help the third child as much as possible.
Su Anying can't run to the farm every day, she has to clean up her own land, especially the ginseng land.
At the breeding farm, choose one of the few blind people who has done a good job as the leader, and cooperate with Xu Shian to lead the others to work.
The daughters-in-law of Su Anying, Huang Shengli and others, go there every now and then to take care of Clivia, and the rest of the time, they are busy with team affairs.
The Second Brigade still has the sticks to make goods this year. When the land was allocated, it was not distributed to each household, but each family still had to work. After the goods were produced in autumn, the money could be distributed.
Su Anying had to come forward for all these odds and ends.
September 17th, the second brigade began to participate.
The ginseng output of the second brigade is still very good this year, making Yu Shouguang and other cadres laugh from ear to ear.
After busy work, it entered October, and all the food in the Xu family's field was taken back.
Under the supervision of Su Anying, the new ginseng land carefully poured the soil again, just waiting for the team to divide the seeds and ginseng seeds and plant them.
At this time, Xu Shiyan led the backbone of a participating technical team, and was working on the production of Changbai Mountain red ginseng.
Changbaishan red ginseng is a product that selects high-quality ginseng on the basis of ordinary red ginseng and carries out deep processing.
In addition to the six processes of the first processing, there are twelve processes in the second processing.
Selection, trimming, drying, weighing, softening, molding, compression molding, drying, boxing, sealing, pumping air and nitrogen filling, boxing.
Among them, the most tedious and difficult part is softening, molding, and pressing.
If the softening is not enough, it cannot reach a state of sufficient elasticity and plasticity. If it is too softened, it is easy to crush the ginseng when molding.
When loading the mold, the speed must be fast, while shrinking and reshaping.
The red ginseng cannot be flattened and crushed when pressing the mold, and the red ginseng can be combined together. The technical requirements for this are very precise.
Xu Shiyan has spent more than a month in the processing workshop, overcoming the relevant technical difficulties one by one. After these days of exploration, it is almost the same.
"Leader, we have measured the water content and weight of this batch of products, and confirmed that each ginseng weighs 601 grams, and the water content also meets the standard."
On the morning of October 19th, Xu Shiyan led people to test a batch of red ginseng blocks that had been dried for six or seven days.
After the inspection of the staff, the water content is up to the standard, and each ginseng block accurately reaches the standard of 601 grams.
Xu Shiyan took the data handed over by the team members and carefully checked the moisture content, quality and other data.
Changbaishan red ginseng can be divided into six levels: 16 slices-20 sticks, 20 slices-28 sticks, 30 slices-28 sticks, 40 slices-48 sticks, 50 slices-58 sticks, 60 slices-68 sticks, six grades.
No matter what grade, no matter how many branches of ginseng, the requirement is that one piece of finished ginseng must be 601 grams, and the water content should not exceed 12%.
The prepared Changbai Mountain red ginseng has excellent texture, pure color, transparent cutin, no grooves, yellow skin, and scars, and is hard and brittle. Has a special fragrance, taste slightly bitter, sweet.
Put it in a tinplate box, seal it and store it with nitrogen, which can prevent moths and last for a long time.
"Everyone, after more than a month of hard work, this batch of red ginseng fully meets the standards.
That is to say, our Changbai Mountain red ginseng has been successfully trial-produced. "
Xu Shiyan read all the data, took the prepared ginseng block and checked it repeatedly, and finally confirmed that the red ginseng in his hand was exactly the same as the Changbai Mountain red ginseng he had seen in his previous life.
In the previous life, Fusong Ginseng Company spent a long time researching and finally successfully developed Changbai Mountain Red Ginseng in the autumn of 1984.
Xu Shiyan took advantage of Rebirth and finally succeeded in developing it before Ginseng Company.
There was a burst of cheers in the room, and everyone was very happy.
Some people jumped up and down happily, and some people hugged the people around them excitedly, and there was a round of applause at the scene.
The emergence of new technology represents a new level of ginseng processing in Yishenchang.
"Okay, don't be so happy, hurry up and send the samples and data to Secretary Lin and the others, so that all the leaders will be happy too.
Next, it has to be sent to the county ginseng research institute, and it can only be produced after passing the identification. "
Successful trial production is only the first step, and the next step is certification.
It is necessary to prove that the quality and craftsmanship of Changbai Mountain red ginseng are superior to Zhengguanzhuang Korean ginseng, and to register patents and trademarks.
Only in this way, otherwise, what is the use of their research and development?
