After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Fan Jin asked Shui Qing and Qin Yilin to sit in the teahouse, while he accompanied Ding Heli to hang out outside. Of course, it was impossible just to hang out.

He took people to the back mountain.

The seeds of Polygonum multiflorum were sown on the back mountain last autumn. Later, I was afraid that I would not sow too much and the germination rate would not be high, so I bought several more seeds one after another and sowed them all.

I saw it at the beginning of spring this year, and there were a lot of buds sprouting, but they were not very uniform. Some places were densely packed with small buds, and some places were bare.

Before the rainy season, the stems of Polygonum multiflorum were more than half a meter long. I don’t know what happened to them now.

He brought Ding and Li here with selfish motives.

There are two selfish motives: first, I want him to see how the Polygonum multiflorum grows and whether there is anything that needs attention;

The second and most important thing is that floods and the impact of vassal reduction have made life difficult for Quang Ninh Mansion, and I am afraid it will also be difficult for the outside world.

Since the end of last year, the rice wine business has posted notices prohibiting private brewing, so of course it cannot be sold.

If the current situation becomes chaotic, the writing brush business will inevitably plummet - when safety cannot be guaranteed, reading and literacy will be the first to be abandoned;

During this period, he thought carefully about how Polygonum multiflorum would be the most suitable way to earn money for his family in the next few years.

However, I don’t know if these Polygonum multiflorum plants can be sold when they are fully grown and whether they can be sold at the original price.

Polygonum multiflorum that cannot be sold or is priced at a low price must be made into dry goods in order to facilitate storage. However, polygonum multiflorum is expensive, so it can be simply sliced ​​and dried...

Even if the mountain road has been exposed to the sun for several days after a heavy rain, it is still not easy to walk.

But Fan Jin is used to walking, and Ding Heli has been collecting medicinal herbs for decades. He has walked through all the difficult roads, let alone these mere hills.

Fan Jin introduced it to Ding Heli: "Uncle Ding, this is the mountain I divided. Last year I planted some orange trees, and there are a lot of fruits this year. You and Aunt Ding will pick them and take them home to eat in the autumn."

"Okay." Ding Heli responded with a polite smile.

He doesn't like to eat fruits, but Yilin loves to eat fruits, no matter sweet or sour. When he lived in Kyoto in the past, there were many varieties of fruits and they were easy to buy;

When I came here, it was inconvenient to go out. Even if I went to Fucheng, there were few fruits. People in the village did not have the habit of eating fruits. The few fruits they had were eaten by children before they were ripe.

I just heard Fan Jin say that Shui Qing also likes to eat fruits. He planted hundreds of fruit trees last autumn and this spring. In addition to the most orange trees, there are also peaches, pears, dates, bayberries and grapes.

Of course he had to follow his master up the mountain to see how the fruits were growing. Even if he couldn't eat some of the fruits this year, he would still be able to eat them next year. He could wait.

As I walked, I saw vine leaves on the roadside, my smile turned to surprise, and my eyes gradually widened.

Fan Jin always paid attention to Ding Heli and took him to the place where Polygonum multiflorum flourished. When he saw him stop, he knew in his heart that he must have seen it.

Ding Heli opened his mouth slightly and looked at the green leaves half a palm long and wide like a chicken heart under the tree not far away. There were many more beside it.

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he stepped forward on the dead branches and leaves, stood there and looked around, only to realize that they were all densely packed!

He ran a little further, and as far as he could see there were vines with such leaves.

God, Fan Jin and Shui Qing are going to have sex.

Pharmacies in Fucheng charge more than 400 Wen per catty for fresh Polygonum multiflorum that is older, and more than 200 Wen per catty for younger ones. However, if the Polygonum multiflorum is prepared, the price is calculated as Liang!

"Uncle Ding, what's wrong?" Fan Jin's confused voice came from afar.

Ding Heli's face was full of smiles, thinking that he would scare you later!

He walked out of the woods, pointed at the green vines in the woods and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Uncle Ding, this spring I suddenly discovered a lot of these vines. They are everywhere in the mountains and fields, and I can't even pull them away!

I don’t know how to get rid of them. I’m really afraid that they will rob the fruit trees of their nutrients. "Fan Jin said distressedly.

Ding Heli became more and more happy, feeling that he had come in handy: "Idiot! Let me tell you, you are rich, this is Polygonum multiflorum!

Although ginseng is not as valuable as a tael of silver or a tael of ginseng, the prepared Polygonum multiflorum can cost more than 100 taels of ginseng at worst! You are developed. "

"Is it so valuable?" Fan Jin knew that Polygonum multiflorum was a valuable medicinal material, but he didn't expect it to be worth so much.

He used to sell fresh Polygonum multiflorum for more than 200 Wen per pound, which he already thought was very expensive, but he didn't expect that the prepared ones would cost more than 100 Wen at worst. The key is to calculate in two.

"That's right, if you knew how troublesome it is to prepare Polygonum multiflorum, you would know why the prepared ones can be sold at such a price!

Let’s not talk about the black bean, ginger, wine, etc. Let’s just talk about the simplest steaming: wash the Polygonum multiflorum and divide it into batches, soak it for a day and night, pick it up, and wet the big ones with water, and put them in a steamer. Use an iron pan.

Steam for half a day, simmer overnight, turn and steam again the next day, repeat this for four or five days and nights, the fleece-flower root will appear black inside and outside, and then... Well, it takes at least ten days to prepare a batch, so it's always troublesome. I can’t tell for a while!

This is only the simplest method among them. If you want the medicine to have good or different effects, you need various preparation methods and dozens of processes. You can't make mistakes in any of them. If you make one mistake, the whole batch will be ruined. "Ding Heli said he didn't want to say anything anymore.

It's not that he's afraid of leaking, or he doesn't want to teach Fan Jin, but just talking about it verbally is useless. Fan Jin can't learn the length of steaming and the control of heat just by talking about it verbally.

If he followed these instructions, he would only waste batch after batch of Polygonum multiflorum.

Fan Jin listened for a while and already understood that this cannot be taught verbally. It requires experience and practical operation, just like writing.

If not, we can only sell fresh ones. Fortunately, Polygonum multiflorum is a perennial and will not go bad if placed in the soil.

We can only wait until the world stabilizes before selling.

Ding Heli felt distressed when he thought that Fan Jin had said that he had pulled this kind of vine: "The stems and vines of Polygonum multiflorum can be cut. If you cut the branches and vines and plant them on the empty ground, it will not affect the harvest here. How wonderful do you think it is?" "

Then he added: "By the way, you must not know how to take cuttings. It's okay. I know how to do it. I'll teach you!"

This is simple and can be taught on the spot.

Fan Jin really didn't expect that Ding Heli not only knew how to collect herbs and make medicine, but also knew the growth habits and cultivation of medicinal materials.

In just half an hour, Ding Heli had taught Fan Jin how to take vine branches, how long to take them, how far to separate them, how deep to dig the holes, how many roots to put in each hole, and where to place the soil cover...

No matter how small or small, every aspect is taken care of.

Fan Jin listened carefully to the explanation and took it to heart.

Ding He was very serious in teaching etiquette. After the lesson, I went to see the fruit tree and its waist straightened up a lot!

He has also made contributions, so it’s not too much to ask Fan Jin for a few fruits in the future, right?

When he saw the so-called 'orange tree' that Fan Jin mentioned, he fell silent.

Is this the orange tree in Fan's mouth?

The most planted orange tree?
