Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 45

Those orphan copies were deposited in the bank, Su Qingdai was relieved, and on Sunday she was busy picking up the honeysuckle at home, while Su Qingcheng and Su Qingye were busy picking honeysuckle in the mountains.

At the beginning of May, the early summer when the tung flowers bloom, it is the time when the honeysuckle is in bud.At this time, it is most important not to slack off, to pick off those honey buds that have not yet bloomed.

Honeysuckle has the best medicinal effect when it is not open. At this time, the honeysuckle buds are generally light green, and they are the most valuable when picked. One kilogram can sell for 50 yuan.If the flowers have bloomed and the efficacy of the medicine has expired, it can only be sold for more than ten yuan per kilogram.

Su Qingdai brought honeysuckle buds to "Heshengtang". Although the quantity is small, the quality is superior. She and the boss offered a high price of 50 yuan per kilogram.Father Su was dumbfounded when he saw that the usually unremarkable honeysuckle in the mountains could be sold for such an expensive price.

At the beginning, Su Qingdai valued the value of honeysuckle. When playing in the mountains with her brother, she saw scattered vines of honeysuckle climbing in the mountains, and some of them bloomed, but the number was small. So far, Su Qingdai had the idea of ​​honeysuckle.

After contracting Daqingshan, Su Qingdai spread honeysuckle seeds all over the back mountain. She didn't expect any harvest. After all, it was the first year of planting, and Su Qingdai just did it casually.

God took care of it, there was a lot of rain in March and April, those vines climbed everywhere, and soon a large area was lush and verdant.The entire back mountain was occupied by honeysuckle, and strings of long buds grew.

Su Qingdai was so happy that she yelled at her siblings to pick flowers in the mountains every day, and even her aunt next door would go to help when she was free.But even so, she was still too busy, so Su Qingdai asked Aunt Lian to help her find four aunts in the village who were quick to work, and they paid 20 yuan a day.

In this way, it took only three days to pick all the flowers.Su Qingdai also had to work, spread out mats in the yard, poured all the honeysuckle flowers on the mats.Taking advantage of the fine weather on the weekend, she will separate the flower buds from the opened stamens, wash them and dry them in the sun.

Drying honeysuckle is also a delicate job. After the flowers are picked, they should be dried immediately and spread out on a mat to dry. The best place for drying is flat ground or stone slabs that are leeward to the sun or have long sunshine hours.

When drying the honeysuckle, the thickness of the honeysuckle on the mat should not exceed one centimeter, and it should not be turned over. When the honeysuckle is [-]% dry, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dissipate heat, and then dry it.The flowers dried in this way will not be broken or brittle, and the appearance will be green and white. Not to mention the high medicinal value, the appearance will be more pleasing.

On the second Saturday, Su Qingdai and Su's father were harvesting honeysuckle flowers in the yard, and the owner of the church actually drove here.Na and the boss asked a lot of people in the town before they found someone who knew the way and brought them here.

Su Qingdai heard a familiar voice outside the door in the yard, and hurriedly looked at the door. There were two people standing outside the door. Didn't the fat man walking in the front meet me a while ago? Who is the boss? !
Su Qingdai took it seriously when she heard Na told her boss that she would come to visit for a few days. A few days ago, when she came home from school every day, she asked her father and the boss if they had been there.

However, after a week, no sound was heard, Su Qingdai thought in her heart that she and the boss were just joking to coax her, a child.Su Qingdai felt a little lost in her heart, but she didn't take it to heart.

Now that Boss and Boss really came, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Boss and Boss! You——why are you here!"

"Why, what's the matter if I can't come? Su Yatou, you and uncle and I didn't come alone today! I brought you a helper!"

"Helper?" Su Qingdai looked suspiciously at the stiff young man standing behind her and the boss. The man was only in his twenties, and he didn't look very energetic.

"This is—" Su Qingdai was puzzled, and looked at the boss with questioning eyes.

"I won't tell you for the time being." He Boss smiled mysteriously, shook his head deliberately, "Come on, Brother Su, take us to see that cornucopia in your house!"

Su's father led the two of them to Daqing Mountain along the stone road at the back of the mountain. Su Qingdai asked her elder brother to put the honeysuckle into a snakeskin bag, and she followed those people to the mountain.

The boss and the boss nodded in satisfaction when they saw the fruit trees and tea trees all over the mountain.Walking to the shady side of the mountain road, I was surprised to see the honeysuckle vines all over the mountain.

"There are so many vines, Miss Su, you have harvested a lot this time!" The boss and the boss looked back at Su Qingdai with a smile, "Take care, this flower will bloom several times this year!"

What? !This is the first time Su Qingdai knows that this honeysuckle can bloom several times a year.She reckoned that the family collected about two hundred catties of dried flowers in the first season, and they could sell for several thousand at once.

"You don't know? You planted so many honeysuckle, I thought you knew. Although the first crop has the best medicinal effect, the next few crops can still be used as medicine!"

Seeing Su Qingdai's shocked look, the boss and the boss knew that she might have planted it blindly, and probably didn't understand the medicinal value of honeysuckle or even the crop growth cycle at all.

The young man who was following him had changed from his former depression since he went up the mountain, and his eyes were shining brightly, as if he suddenly became energetic.I saw him dig a piece of soil from the ground to check from time to time, muttering, not knowing what he was talking about.Then I ran to the honeysuckle field to check, and even the hillside on the sunny side did not fall.

He and the boss didn't care about him, they just walked the whole mountain with Su's father.When he walked to the foot of the Yinmian Mountain, he saw a piece of green grass, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he couldn't believe it when he saw the green grass.

"This is—" He approached the grass, knelt down and stroked those sharp leaves, as gently as if he was stroking the arms of a girl.

Su Qingdai didn't react at first, but when she saw the green grass and those long leaves, she slapped her head and almost killed herself.

She had forgotten about it long ago, it was the saffron she had sown in the ground!It actually sprouted and grew so tall!She just threw a handful of seeds on the ground and let them fend for themselves, but she didn't even know when they would germinate and grow leaves!
He and the boss didn't expect to see such a large area of ​​saffron here. It's a pity that the people of the Su family have these saffron seedlings for nothing, and they don't know how to plant saffron at all. To let these flowers grow so densely, it's simply—a waste of nature!
I was a little angry with the boss, and looked back at Su Qingdai, very displeased: "How did this flower grow like this?! How can it grow so densely?!"

Su Qingdai also felt a little guilty. She didn't know how to grow saffron. When she got the seeds by accident, she thought that the flowers were the same as other plants, so she threw a handful of them casually, but she forgot after throwing down the seeds.Now those flowers have grown so tall.

"And the boss, that flower... I planted it, I don't know when it germinated, hehe..."

He and the boss were so pissed off by Su Qingdai, pointing at her that she didn't know what to say: "Nonsense! You are trying to plant it, you are trying to destroy it! This saffron is delicate, and it needs It will take three to four years. The density of seed planting should not be too high. The flower needs long balls in the ground. Once it germinates, it cannot be dug for two years, otherwise its balls will be destroyed, and the flower will not survive! If you plant it like this, the density It’s so big, don’t you want to kill it?!”
