living in a mountain village

Chapter 113 Opportunities in Xintian Village - Lavender Planting
Winter goes to spring, and the world of ice and snow, which has been lively for a winter, slowly melts into water when spring comes, seeping into a large area of ​​land.Because the ice and snow world was built on the wilderness, there were no hidden dangers.As the weather warms up, the land that has been frozen for a winter is beginning to melt.

All the villages are waiting for this time, because the beginning of spring means that the investigation of Lin Hao's project will start.So everyone is on the alert, and the village has also strengthened the discipline of these bums. If anyone disobeys the rules, they will be beaten first. This is the case in rural areas, especially the mountain people in the mountains. Of course, because of the lack of reading So there are many people who don't understand the Fa.

However, every village has a clan elder, and everyone is very convinced of the clan elder and is willing to follow the clan elder's advice.Therefore, the village chiefs of each village were brought back from a meeting before. Someone wanted to choose a village among the surrounding poor villages as an investment target and told them to the elders of each village.

The elders of the tribe said, "Take it seriously. Don't lose etiquette. Those who disregard the interests of the village will be expelled from the village." In the hearts of these mountain people who are proud of the village, they think that the village is their root. Without village registration, they are like duckweed without roots, which they cannot accept.

Ai Zhonghua also stayed in Luoyun Village for several months. Although he enjoyed the life in Luoyun Village very much, he was eager to find a profitable job for himself. He got Lin Hao's Chinese herbal medicine planting project, and According to Lin Hao, this still occupies a very important position in the current and upcoming Chinese medicine.

So when spring just started, Ai Zhonghua pulled Lin Hao up and contacted the leaders of Panshan County to investigate the five impoverished villages to see where the herbal medicine was most suitable for planting, so as to start as soon as possible. Plant herbs.

The leaders of Panshan County had notified them of the inspection time and the order of visits before they went to the villages. When they reached Xintian Village, Lin Hao saw the most vast land, and the land not far from the river was very large. The land here is flat and fertile. Lin Hao grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it up to his nose and smelled it, but didn't say anything.Just looking at such a large expanse of land, because there are no trees to cover it, it is obvious that the light here is very sufficient, and the terrain is relatively high and there will be no flooding. The most important thing is that according to his understanding, the place where this village is located The annual precipitation will not exceed 650mm, so it is a very suitable place to grow lavender. Besides being used for viewing, lavender can also be used as a raw material for extracting perfume.

But this place is not suitable for the growth of the herbs he wants to provide, because the traditional Chinese medicine he wants to grow is a shade-loving plant, but here is just the opposite and the light is too long, so Lin Hao shook his head at Ai Zhonghua, seeing The village head of Xintian Village looked a little disappointed by Lin Hao's appearance.

Lin Hao said to the people who followed: "This place is not suitable for the herbs we want to grow, but I found that it is very suitable for planting a kind of flower. This kind of flower can bring a lot of income to Xintian Village when it is done well, and this There are quite a lot of uses for planting flowers.”

After hearing Lin Hao's words, the village head of Xintian Village, who was still lost, seemed to fly from the trough to heaven in an instant, and asked quickly, "Mr. Lin Hao, can you tell me what it is?" The leaders of Panshan County were also very curious.

"I took a look. The terrain here is relatively high, and the land area is very wide and connected. This is the most important thing. In addition, because there is no shelter, the sunlight here is very long, which is very suitable for planting lavender. , this kind of flower is very beautiful when it blooms, and has a strong fragrance. It can also be used to treat symptoms such as insomnia and mental weakness."

Then Lin Hao began to popularize the knowledge about lavender to everyone: "Lavender is a kind of fragrant purple flower, also known as "peaceful perfume plant", known as "the reputation of aromatic herbs". Lavender is produced in the Mediterranean region. For example, Provence, France, is widely planted with Britain and Yugoslavia. The flower language of lavender means "fragrance". When you go to the lavender field, you will often be attracted by its special aroma without knowing it. Therefore, lavender is also "after vanilla". Known as. Lavender is an evergreen aromatic shrub. Lavender can grow in mountainous areas with a fairly high altitude. When a single plant grows to 1 meter, it will become very hard and huge. The narrow leaves are gray and fluffy, and the flowers are Grayish-blue, growing on slender stems, oil glands are star-shaped fine hairs. Rub the flowers or leaves with two fingers, some oil will be squeezed out, but the fragrance is not long-lasting. Lavender after drying Before it dries up, all the unburned things in life will be erupted in that instant and turned into fragrance...

There are many colors of lavender: blue, purple, blue-purple, pink, and white.

Lavender likes to be dry, the flower shape is like wheat spikes, with slender stems, the flowers are covered with star-shaped fine hairs, and there are small purple-blue flowers on the ends, the narrow and long leaves are gray-green, and they are tall when they are mature. Up to 90cm, usually blooms in June.Whenever the flowers bloom and the wind blows, the entire lavender field undulates up and down like deep purple waves, which is very beautiful. "

Lin Hao looked at everyone listening carefully and continued: "In addition to the value of lavender, it can also extract essential oils for making perfumes, facial masks, etc...

The essential oil content of lavender flowers is the most abundant, and they are mainly used in flowers or inflorescences. For the convenience of harvesting, some small inflorescences at the early stage of cultivation may be trimmed with large scissors. The height of the newly grown inflorescences is the same, which is conducive to one harvest. "

Wardfel and Bell, who originally came with Lin Hao to pass the time, said to the leaders of Panshan County present after hearing what Lin Hao introduced: "This can be used as a new project. Bell and I Funding to build a lavender essential oil extraction factory, specially used to recycle the lavender planted here How about, Lin, I know, you must have a perfume formula about this, right?"

"Is the reaction fast?" Lin Hao looked at Wardfel and praised.

Wardfell just put on a smirk and said: "Of course, I didn't expect the project of planting herbs before, but this time I let this project go, can I still be regarded as a member of the Philo family?"

Bell, who hadn't reacted yet, after hearing Lin Hao and Wardfel's words, realized the relationship between Lin Hao's introduction of lavender and this village. It turned out that Lin Hao wanted to organize the planting of lavender in Xintian Village. .In addition to its ornamental value, this plant also has medicinal value and is a raw material for refining essential oils.
