Chapter 34 Pie in the sky

Jiang Ancheng stretched out his hand and pinched the flower bud. It was very firm, and the heart of the flower was a little delicate. If it were placed in a bottle, the flowering period would last for at least twenty days from opening to decay.

I really feel that it would be a pity not to make this money.

Jiang Ancheng originally wanted to wait for two days to finish the purchase of matsutake mushrooms and then tell everyone that he would also accept flowers, but now he changed his mind: "Uncle Zhou, are there more lilies like this?"

Uncle Zhou said cheerfully: "In addition to this color, there are also light pink ones around, and the most common ones are white. I see that you have both light pink and white ones at home, so I didn't pull them out for you." Thinking about it.

He added: "There are other types of lilies, the ones with a little twitching petals, but I don't think they are as beautiful as this one. They are fragrant and grand. My wife will definitely like them."

Jiang Ancheng nodded affirmatively, and then looked at the two Jianlan plants given by Uncle Zhou.

Jianlan, also known as the four-season orchid, is a common orchid in the country. It can bloom multiple times a year and has a long flowering period, which is also the origin of its other name.

The fragrance of Jianlan is a light fragrance, showing a simple and elegant fragrance. Since ancient times, orchid has also been called the gentleman among flowers. Literati and poets love it and often leave stunning masterpieces for it.

Even in the bonsai flower market in 2022, it still occupies an important place.

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

In order to make a profit, many people went into the mountains to dig at will, 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 mining.

In a previous life, there were two fools in their village who openly went to the market to sell wild orchids. They were reported and jailed.

In 1988, it was not illegal to collect orchids. They regarded them as common street weeds. Various varieties of spring orchids, orchids, etc. can often be seen in the mountains.

These two Jianlan plants were picked and brought back by Uncle Zhou, also because they were in excellent condition.

A plant named Xiahuangmei, which means "fine flower", has bright yellow flower buds, elegant branches and leaves, and well-developed root system. In Jiang Ancheng's eyes, it is perfect in both appearance and fragrance.

To put it in the 2022 orchid circle, a simple estimate would cost it several million.

The other plant belongs to Junhe. Its buds are very round and plump, its petals are decorated with colorful flowers, and its flowers are as big as lotus petals. It has a rich orchid fragrance. If you put it in a pot at home, no perfume can match it.

Lan Quan called him a handsome gentleman who was independent from the world, and also praised him for his natural kingly aura.

In 2022, only in the Orchid Exhibition Hall can you see Jun He of this high-quality appearance. It also depends on luck and whether the big guys in the industry are willing to participate in the exhibition.

Jiang Ancheng became paralyzed in his last life, and Uncle Zhou did not deliver these two orchids to him.

If he planted it, and when the orchids gained momentum, he might be able to let the sweet girl go to college.

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

Staring at these two precious orchids, Jiang Ancheng glanced at Uncle Zhou's backpack again, "Did Uncle Zhou come back from collecting herbs?"

Uncle Zhou did not hide it, happily put the bamboo basket on the ground, took out the dragon-bone horsetail fir that can only grow on the cliff, and said: "Well, I picked some, mainly Polygonum multiflorum. I don't know if I can sell them next time."

Can’t sell it at a good price.”

Fungi are found everywhere, but not all rare herbs are available.

There are often local merchants coming to collect herbs at the Caixia Town market, but the prices are relatively low.

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

If Jiang Ancheng remembers correctly, its whole plant can be used for medicine. Its main effects are to dispel wind and dampness, reduce swelling and relieve pain. The market price in 2022 is more than 200 yuan per pound.

In 1988, the market price and the township price were polarized. The price was suppressed too much. Even if it was only two cents per tael, Uncle Zhou felt very satisfied.

Polygonum multiflorum is relatively common and can cure kidney deficiency, insomnia, hair loss and gray hair. In the early 1980s, daily health products with various functions were gradually developed.

The demand is huge and the purchase price is cheap, only five cents per catty, but people collect them all year round, so if you get a lot of them, you can still make a lot of money carrying a hundred catties of bamboo poles.

But Uncle Zhou's income from a hard day's work in the mountains is probably not as much as the money he earns from the few lilies in his hand.

Jiang Ancheng thought about it carefully, then turned around and took out the newly dug large flower mushrooms from his backpack, "Uncle, I plan to be a seller of mushrooms and flowers. I mainly collect these large flower mushrooms. As for the flowers, you dug them for me."

My type of lily will be fine, it’s best if it’s just about to bloom and is in bud, but forget it if it’s fully bloomed.”

Uncle Zhou was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, and said kindly: "Now is a good time to harvest ganba mushrooms and gallinobacteria. Why are you harvesting large flower mushrooms and flowers? It's not profitable!"

It's just that Jiang Ancheng is a fool.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "My boss wants big flower mushrooms and flowers. Uncle, I'm not going to lie to you. It's more cost-effective for you to dig big flower mushrooms and pick flowers for me than to dig these herbs for you."

Uncle Zhou was stunned, but subconsciously asked: "How much?"

Jiang Ancheng stretched out his finger and said with a smile: "If the large flower mushrooms are over nine centimeters and are of good quality, like the ones in my hand, I will charge 50 cents per catty, and if they are about 7 to 9 centimeters, I will charge 25 cents."

"

"Flowers are cheap to harvest. The ones in bud are five cents a pound. But they have to be colorful, white lilies. I only charge two cents a pound."

"There are other specific acquisition requirements. Matsutake mushrooms must not have insect eyes, cannot open umbrellas, must be well-proportioned, and must be fresh."

"Flowers are weighed by kilograms, but the branches can only be about 40 centimeters. The flower bones must be full, and there must be no broken branches or too thin flower stems to support them."

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

He confirmed again and again: "Are you really charging 50 cents per pound?"

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "As long as the fungi are good and meet the standard, it will definitely cost 50 cents per catty. But my boss doesn't want many fungi now. I only plan to collect five to six hundred catties a day. In a few days, if our boss needs it,

As the quantity increases, we will collect more at some point.”

"But lilies, no matter how many they are, I will take them. As long as I get them back, isn't it much easier than digging for Polygonum multiflorum?"

"In a moment, I plan to tell the people in the village that I will find a few fixed households to dig the fungi first, and everyone can sell the lilies to me."

Jiang Ancheng's serious expression, and the fact that he spoke in such detail, didn't seem like he was being arrogant.

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

"Are you sure you don't want lily balls?"

The matsutake harvesting season lasts from June to October. If you can dig hundreds of catties and sell them for money every day, that's a lot of money.

Lily is everywhere this season. Just pull it out and you will get several hundred kilograms of them. Even if you pay two cents per kilogram, it is better than digging for 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.
