I have made a fortune by farming

Chapter 418

Speaking of this, Song Ying said again: "You can't just stare at the books every day. Finish your homework early tomorrow and go to the mountain to pick leaves."

"..." Huo Lin felt that his mother had changed a little too fast.

The previous moment required flowers, and this moment required leaves.

So many ideas.

However, he still wanted to go back to the mountain, so he nodded happily.

The next day, the three children told Song Ying's instructions to their friends, and after shouting, the children were all very excited.

Two catties of flowers are given a penny, and there is money to be made!

But what Song Ying wanted was small flowers that could be named, not too big ones, so it took a little effort to get two catties of flowers.

In order to prevent these children from going to school for the sake of money, Song Ying also said that each person only accepts four catties of fresh flowers a day, and no more.

In this way, a child can only earn two pennies a day from Song Ying.

But for children, two pennies are two pieces of delicious cakes, and they are very happy.

After school, they ran up the mountain like crazy one by one.

The children at the foot of the mountain are also familiar with the mountain, and know where to go and where not to go, and there are adults watching in the mountain, so nothing will happen.

Today, there are 55 children studying in Xinghua Village.

It is several times that of other villages.

With so many children, Song Ying has no shortage of flowers.

When the sun is still good, some of the flowers so obtained are placed outside to dry in the sun, while others are dried in the greenhouse.

According to Song Ying's request, Huo Lin and the others picked a lot of leaves.

Song Ying picked out some with strong veins, took the scissors to find Dabai, cut some donkey hair and made some soft brushes.

These leaves are used to make vein bookmarks.

She has all the caustic soda, so it is easy to make bookmarks.

Leaves in late summer or autumn are boiled in a casserole, and some alkali is put in the pot. After a short while, the leaves turn black.

At this time, fish them out and place them on the polished stone table, and let a few small brushes gently brush them.

"Mom! I... changed! The bones came out!" Huo Lin was very excited, he brushed lightly, the leaf meat was gone, and then the bones exposed the leaves.

Song Ying looked at him with complicated eyes.

They are all plants, so why rush each other.

Did she do something wrong?

"Mine came out too, and the leaves became like spider webs, so beautiful!" Song Da also liked it very much, it was so interesting!

He had seen dried leaves before, but when the leaves were dried like that, they would shatter when touched, but this one in his hand was different, the leaves were particularly resilient!
"After brushing it clean, clean it again with plant gray water, then tie it with a thread to dry for a while, and then you can choose the color you like to paint it on." Song Ying said again.

The eyes of the three are very bright.

After the leaves are processed, after eating, the leaves are half wet and half dry, and start to smear.

Huo Lin liked the color of the leaves themselves, so he painted green again. Song Da and Song Wu, one painted red and the other yellow, both looked good, but they were all dirty.

"Okay, put it in this old book." Song Ying said again.

Wait for the water to dry up before shaping, and the leaf vein bookmark will be ready.

It's a pity that there is no way to plastic it here, so the leaf vein bookmark can't withstand damage, but the leaf veins boiled in alkaline water are also somewhat tough, and they are old leaves, so they won't break when touched.

Song Ying also saw that the three little guys had performed well recently, so she specially gave them this kind of thing as a reward.
