Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 38 Small Orchard

On the way home, Li Xiao stopped picking up wild goods and was anxious to go home and plant fruit trees.

Two tree pits were dug in advance and plant ash was sprinkled in advance. After a few people arrived home, they planted two larger seedlings in the pits as early as possible.

I plan to dig a hole for a few seedlings first, sprinkle them with plant ash, and then plant them tomorrow.

Fortunately, the seedlings are still small, the roots are basically undamaged, and there is a lot of soil on them, so it will be fine.

But I learned my lesson, and this time I dug more holes and reserved them for cherry and mountain grape seedlings.

After finishing their work, several people turned out the fungus, shiitake mushrooms, white fungus, and morels to dry in their new home, leaving only a dozen morels to take home because Li Xiao said she wanted to eat scrambled eggs with morels. .

Li Dashan and Li Yuan had never seen white fungus and morel mushrooms before, so they didn't know how to eat them, but experience told them that these two fungi were not poisonous.

If my daughter wants to eat, she will do it naturally.

It’s just that my daughter said that after drying the white fungus and morels, she would try selling them at Jixiang Restaurant. She could also come up with a few menus, which would be another source of income.

The Li Dashan family now has an inexplicable trust in their family Xiaoxiao. Although she is only a seven-year-old baby, she seems to be leading the family forward.

Li Xiao didn't know what her parents were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely agree and echo: "Yes, I want to take the whole family to 'Qian'!"

The next day, a few people went to the mountain grapes and cherry cherries again.

Mao Yingying dug up a small tree that was more than five feet tall, two that were three to four feet tall, and the remaining five seedlings that were less than two feet tall and were growing well.

As for mountain grapes, Li Xiao had never planted them before. He picked them on the mountains when he was a child in China.

But when I saw the two better ones, I was moved and asked my father to cut down the vines, dig out the roots and take them back.

I have to say that Li Xiao was quite lucky. He found a lot of white fungus and morel mushrooms that day. In addition, there were also a bunch of white mushrooms.

In addition to these, Li Xiao also discovered a large field of wild azaleas. The bright red ones stunned her eyes.

So, Li Dashan and Li Yuan finished working on the fruit seedlings and started working on the flower seedlings.

In just a few days, the open space outside the yard of the new home had a completely new look, and a simple grape trellis was even built.

Outside the courtyard walls on both sides of the gate, temporary flower beds were added, and azaleas brought back from the mountains by Li Xiao were planted.

Because it happens to be the flowering period of azaleas, after planting, the bright red color makes the new home full of life and adds a lot of color.

Originally, Li Xiao wanted to build a fish pond in front of the yard, but water diversion was a problem, so he had no choice but to give up.

The remaining open space was temporarily reserved for planting some beans and sweet potatoes this time. After all, this is the size of Li Xiao's small orchard for the time being.

After three or four days of busy work, the family looked at the white fungus and the morels were almost dry, so they went into the city together.

When shopkeeper Liu saw Li Dashan's family bringing white fungus and morels to the restaurant, he was extremely enthusiastic.

Tremella fuciformis is a rare item. Even in the capital, it is also a hot commodity, especially among officials and ladies. It can be said that they are flocking to it.

Morels have high medicinal value and are the "noble" among dietary supplements. They are more rare than white fungus, so they are also something that is hard to find if you have money.

This time Li Dashan and his friends came over and brought 9 jins of dried morels and 10 jins of dried tremella, and they left two jins of each at home!

In the end, shopkeeper Liu didn't lower the price too much. He paid 15 taels per catty for morels and 12 taels per catty for white fungus.

Li Dashan's family has another income of 255 taels!

This is more profitable than selling Ganoderma lucidum!
