Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 34 The pie in the sky

Jiang Ancheng reached out and pinched the flower buds, they were very tight, and the flower heart was slightly dewy with a little tenderness. If it were placed in a bottle, the flowering period would last at least 20 days from opening to decay.

I really feel that it would be a pity if this money is not earned.

Jiang Ancheng originally wanted to hold off for two days, first deal with the purchase of matsutake, and then tell everyone that he also accepts flowers, but now he changed his mind: "Uncle Zhou, are there more of these lilies?"

Uncle Zhou said cheerfully: "In addition to this color, there are light pink ones around, and most of them are white. I think you have light pink and white ones in your house, so I didn't pull them out for you." He added: "There are other types of lilies, the ones with twitching petals, but I don't think this kind is as good-looking. It's fragrant and majestic. My daughter-in-law will definitely like it."

Jiang Ancheng nodded affirmatively, and looked at the two Jianlan plants given by Uncle Zhou in a blink of an eye.

Jianlan, also known as Sijilan, is a common type of national orchid. It can bloom many times a year and has a long flowering period, which is also the origin of its nickname.

The fragrance of Jianlan is a faint fragrance, revealing a simple and elegant fragrance. Since ancient times, orchids have also been called the gentlemen of flowers. Literati love it, and often leave amazing masterpieces for it.

Even in the bonsai flower market in 2022, it will occupy an important place.

However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate orchids, and the growth time is relatively slow. Orchids with good appearance are often priceless in the market.

In pursuit of profit, many people went into the mountains to dig indiscriminately, and the number of wild orchids dropped sharply.

In order to protect ecological diversity, the country has also listed orchids as one of the protected plants that are prohibited from being excavated.

In the previous life, there were two idiots in their village who went to the market to sell wild orchids openly and aboveboard, but were reported and sent to jail.

In 1988, it was not illegal to dig orchids, and they were regarded as ordinary weeds on the street, and various varieties of spring orchids, orchids, etc. were often seen on the mountain.

These two Jianlan plants will be dug back by Uncle Zhou, also because of their excellent appearance.

One is called Xiahuangmei, which means "superior good flower". It has bright yellow buds, elegant branches and leaves, and well-developed root system. It is perfect in Jiang Ancheng's eyes both in appearance and aroma.

To put it in the blue circle in 2022, a simple estimate would cost millions.

The other one belongs to Junhe. The buds are very round and plump, the petals are decorated with colors, the flowers are as big as lotus petals, and the orchid fragrance is strong. If you put it in a pot at home, the perfume cannot compare.

Lan Quan called it a gentleman who is independent from the world, and also praised it for its natural kingly spirit.

In 2022, only in the Orchid Exhibition Hall, you can see this kind of high-quality Junhe, it depends on luck, whether the big guys in the circle are willing to participate in the exhibition.

Jiang Ancheng became paralyzed in his previous life, and Uncle Zhou didn't send these two orchids to him.

If he had planted the orchids, maybe he would have been able to let the sweet girl go to college when the orchids had a good momentum.

It's a pity that they didn't have this luck in their previous life.

Staring at the two precious orchids, Jiang Ancheng glanced at Uncle Zhou's basket again, "Did Uncle Zhou come back from picking herbs?"

Uncle Zhou didn't hide it either, and happily put the back stalk on the ground, took out the keeled horsetail fir that can only grow on the cliff, and said: "Well, I picked some, mainly Polygonum multiflorum, and I will sell it in the next collection. Can’t sell for a good price.”

Mushrooms are everywhere, but not necessarily precious herbs.

There are often local merchants who come to collect herbs at the market in Caixia Town, but the prices are kept relatively low.

Even so, keel horsetail fir can be sold at a good price.

If Jiang Ancheng remembers correctly, the whole plant can be used as medicine. The main curative effect is to dispel wind and dampness, reduce swelling and relieve pain. The market price in 2022 will be more than 200 yuan per catty.

In 1988, the market price and township price were polarized, and the price was suppressed too much. Uncle Zhou felt very satisfied.

Polygonum multiflorum is relatively common. It can cure kidney deficiency, insomnia, and hair loss and white hair. In the early 80s, daily necessities and health products with various effects were gradually developed.

The demand is high, and the purchase price is cheap, five cents and two catties, but people take it all year round, so if you make a lot of it, you can get a lot of money for a hundred catties.

But Uncle Zhou's hard work in the mountains for a day's income is probably not as much as the few lilies in his hands.

Jiang Ancheng thought about it carefully, then turned around and took out the big flower mushrooms he had just dug from the back basket, "Uncle, I'm going to be a salesman who collects mushrooms and flowers, mainly this kind of big flower mushrooms. My type of lily is fine, it’s best if it’s just about to bloom, it’s just about to bloom, if it’s fully bloomed, that’s fine.”

After hearing this, Uncle Zhou was a little dumbfounded, and kindly said: "Now is a good time to collect dried mushrooms and gallinaceous mushrooms, why do you collect big flower mushrooms and flowers! It's not profitable!"

It was almost as if Jiang Ancheng was a fool.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "My boss wants big flower mushrooms and fresh flowers. Uncle, I won't lie to you. You dig big flower mushrooms and pick flowers for me, which is more cost-effective than digging these herbs."

Uncle Zhou was taken aback, but subconsciously asked, "How much money?"

Jiang Ancheng stretched out his finger and said with a smile: "The big flower mushrooms over nine centimeters are of good quality, like the one in my hand, I charge fifty cents a catty, and those between seven centimeters and nine centimeters, I charge twenty-five cents. "

"Flowers are cheap to harvest. The ones that are just about to bloom cost five cents a catty, but they have to be colored and white lilies. I only charge two cents a catty."

"There are other specific purchase requirements. The matsutake must not have insect eyes, cannot open umbrellas, and must be well-proportioned and fresh."

"Flowers are weighed by the catty, but the branch can only be about [-] centimeters long. The flower buds must be full, and there must be no broken branches. The flower stem is too thin to support it."

After Jiang Ancheng said so many requests, Uncle Zhou's mind was still in shock when he heard the price.

He confirmed again and again: "You really charge fifty cents a catty?"

Jiang Ancheng laughed and said: "As long as the fungus is good and meets the standard, it must be fifty cents a catty, but my boss doesn't want many fungi now, so I only plan to collect five or six hundred catties a day. In a few days, if our boss needs The amount becomes larger, and when will I charge more.”

"But Lily, no matter how much I take, as long as uncle gets it back, isn't it much easier than digging Polygonum multiflorum!"

"After a while, I plan to tell the villagers that I will find a few regular households to dig the fungus first, and everyone can sell the lilies to me."

Jiang Ancheng's expression was serious, and he spoke in such detail, it didn't look like he was being open-minded.

Uncle Zhou was very excited, pointed at himself and said, "Do you want to appoint me to dig?"

"Are you sure you don't want a lily ball?"

The matsutake harvesting season lasts from June to October. If you can dig a hundred catties every day and sell it for money, it will be a lot of money.

Lilies are everywhere in this season, if you pull them casually, you will get hundreds of catties. Even if it costs two cents per catty, it is better than digging Polygonum multiflorum.

Uncle Zhou really didn't dare to think that such a big piece of pie would suddenly fall from the sky and hit him.
