I have made a fortune by farming

Chapter 283 Bitter Almonds

In fact, Song Laogen didn't expect his granddaughter to come up with a way to make money. After all, if there is such a good way, why don't he use it?
However, since Lizheng asked him to ask, he opened his mouth without any trouble.

Unexpectedly, Song Ying's face was relaxed at the moment, and Song Laogen also had a lot of expectations, and looked at her eagerly.

"When I was reading a book before, I read a sentence called 'The fruit of nakedness is also applied to Yuyu'. At that time, I was still puzzled, and I asked Da Geer to ask Mr., only to find out that it was said to be on the vine The melons have grown, and the vines crawled under the eaves... But I saw that there are also people who grow this kind of thing in our village. , white and beautiful, just like Ruixue..."

"Wait." The old man was dumbfounded, "What did the book say?"

"Yes." Song Ying nodded.

"Speak simply." The old man said cheekily.

He really couldn't understand Er Ya's words.

"That is to say, the ancients all knew that the melon roots we planted can be made into powder. After powdering, they are still medicinal materials. They can be sold to pharmacies. Although there are not many of them in the village, we have apricot mountains? I looked at the mountains. There are a lot of them, pick them up, plant the seeds next year, and sell melon rinds and roots.”

"Speaking of apricots... the apricots are ripe now, right? I also know that the apricots are sour and not tasty, but almonds are also medicine? You can sell them in pharmacies after picking them up and cooking them. The selling price should not be low. ..."

"By the way, the sour taste of the apricot can be removed. Boil it in water, squeeze out the almonds, soak the pulp in cold water, change the water every day, and it will be all right after five or six days."

At any rate, Song Ying was someone who had memories of the original owner and herself.

When the original owner was in the Hou Mansion, he had heard of bitter almonds as a medicine, so he was curious and asked about it. Her family was in Xingshan, so hearing about almonds made her feel kind.

Song Ying was a food lover in her previous life, and also read a lot of miscellaneous books.

Like the wild fruit in this life, it was difficult to find in the previous life, so now that the apricots are ripe, she is quite rare. If it weren't for the many things recently, she would have started making preserved fruits.

Of course, other people are definitely reluctant to make preserved fruit, the cost is too high.

Mr. Song was a little dumbfounded.

"You mean, in our village, then... can Tianguagen really sell for money?" Song Laogen thought for a while.

This kind of heavenly melon was handed down from the ancestors. As for this day's melon, it's not delicious, but almost every household will grow some...even there are quite a few on the mountain.

"Yes, but it's better to wait until autumn to dig the roots, not in summer." Song Ying said again.

Once she is interested in something, she must study it thoroughly.

After this root is turned into powder, it is trichosanthes powder, which was considered an expensive medicinal material in the previous life.

The old man smacked his lips: "Is this powder easy to make?"

"It's easy to make, just peel and cut the petals and dry them. There is also the simplest way to make the almonds. One is to dry them directly, and the other is to fry the almonds. You can fry the almonds with a slow fire, but grandpa , This is bitter almond in our village, so you should be careful when making it, you can't eat it, if you eat too much, it can poison people to death, especially if you have to watch the children." Song Ying said again.

It's okay to eat a small amount, but in order to avoid accidents, Song Ying still kept her word.

Song Laogen nodded repeatedly.

Medicinal materials are more or less toxic.

"Ah, if this can really make money, Grandpa thank you on behalf of the whole village!" The old man looked much humbler than before.

Song Ying smiled wryly: "Even if Grandpa doesn't ask, I will say it in a few days. I can't really watch the mountain of apricots fall to the ground and rot, right? Besides, even for Song Lizheng's sake , I should pay back one or two."
