Chapter 38 Freesia
Author: Songhuadan Superman
Jiang Ancheng suddenly pointed to the lilies in the flowerbed and asked Sun Xianghong, "Are they good?"
It's not that Jiang Ancheng doesn't want to collect other flowers, but compared to other naturally growing wild flowers, lilies are the most abundant in their local area, the most common, and the easiest to package and ship. Flowers that are not easily damaged, lily of the valley are also very beautiful, and the quantity
There are quite a few, but the flower shape is not as grand as lilies. At the same price, everyone will definitely choose lilies.
But lily of the valley also has an advantage that lily cannot compare with. Its flowering period is relatively long, from the time the buds open to withering, it can last for about two months.
Therefore, sell the lilies first, and when all the lilies in the mountains are harvested, you can harvest the lilies of the valley without delay.
The delicate lilies are like groups of dazzling fairies, dancing in the sunshine.
Even if there are other flowers crowding around and stealing the spotlight, they are still a presence that cannot be ignored.
Sun Xianghong smiled and said: "Your garden is just like the Queen Mother's Yaochi, it is very beautiful."
Jiang Ancheng suddenly stood up again and took out a large clay pot from the cabinet in the main room.
A few champagne-colored and light pink and white lilies are inserted into the simple clay pot, which is colorful and eye-catching.
Chen Yufei and Sun Xianghong both exclaimed, "This flower blooms so beautifully, it's so sturdy!"
Originally, Chen Lijuan was not interested in flowers. Every time she went to Sun Miaolan's house and saw how beautiful the flowers in the flower garden were, she couldn't help but ask Sun Xianghong to arrange some flower seedlings to decorate his yard.
Sun Xianghong asked Jiang Ancheng for flower seedlings several times. The climbing rose at home is a branch of Zihe.
The champagne-colored lilies have gorgeous gradations in color and are really beautiful. I couldn’t help but ask: “Did you plant them this year?”
Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "This is a new variety that Uncle Zhou just gave me. I buried the flower bulbs in the soil to see if they can survive."
Sun Xianghong smiled and said: "Okay, if you survive, you will give me a few goals next year."
Jiang Ancheng said: "I was just about to ask if there are lilies of this color on your mountains."
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they cannot be used as food.
What's more, there are so many wild flowers in their local area. Even if someone likes them, they can easily dig them up in the mountains.
Everyone's attention is more on the precious medicinal materials and prey, but Sun Xianghong has also developed an eye problem of searching for flowers everywhere since he planted flowers for his wife.
When Jiang Ancheng mentioned this, he remembered that he saw some pretty freesias a few days ago, "There are not many beautiful lilies, but the pieces of freesia are quite fragrant and beautiful. I dug too many cassava that day.
I wanted to dig some plants for you and bring them over."
When I think of freesia, I think of freesia perfume from a big European brand.
Freesia is also known as fragrant alyssum. Its main color is white. Its fragrance is relatively elegant and contains a bit of fruity aroma. It also tastes a bit like yellow horned orchid. It is also the most eye-catching color. Some white wild freesias will also be used according to the color of the freesia.
The light gradually changes color.
Other colors are mainly yellow, purple, and red, with different shades, and are subdivided into light yellow, burnt yellow, taro purple, etc., but most people can't name these, which means women tend to struggle with it.
They all choose the same lipstick, obviously they are all similar, but they want to have every kind.
It is the main flavor raw material of many perfumes and is widely planted in large areas in 2022.
It is also very popular in the flower market.
Because the alyssum is extremely tenacious and blooms again and again every year, the price is therefore relatively cheap.
Buying alyssums at the Huanan Flower Market is like buying vegetables, because before they bloom, they really look like handfuls of vegetables.
Jiang Ancheng's eyes suddenly lit up when his brother-in-law suddenly mentioned freesia. Freesia is best suited for planting in autumn after it withers and pills in the summer. His family's two acres of land is definitely not enough for planting. He remembered that in his previous life, the village had land contracted to others.
, you can go and ask.
Jiang Ancheng laughed and said, "Brother, in addition to collecting fungi, Yufei and I also collect flowers, including freesias and lilies."
Sun Xianghong paused and was stunned for a while before asking: "Are you going to take it and sell it in the city?"
Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Yes, two cents per pound. If you villagers can get it, I will accept it, no matter how much it is."
"However, these flowers are different from mushrooms. All I want to harvest are buds, not those that are fully bloomed."
Most of the common local mushrooms cost a few cents per pound. Jiang Ancheng came to collect them at home, which saves much time and effort than selling the mushrooms.
There must be many people who are willing to harvest wild flowers and sell them.
Sun Xianghong pointed to the flowers in the clay pot, a little confused, "Is it more beautiful if it is not in bloom?"
"If it doesn't open, if it doesn't sell well in the city, will anyone buy it?"
Jiang Ancheng said: "That's okay, just show a few bunches of blooming flowers."
"When the weather gets hot, flowers tend to bloom easily. Only the buds last a long time. Think about it, they only smell fragrant for two days after you buy them, and then they wither. If you feel better, they won't buy them next time."
Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei made up their minds to collect flowers. They would surely make a lot of money by reselling them in the city just like the flower mushrooms.
But doing business requires costs, and the advance payment for manual transportation also involves risks, which Sun Xianghong cannot bear now. He feels that he is very satisfied if he can harvest flowers and sell them to Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei. He nodded and said: "
Okay, I'll go get all the lilies and freesias from our place." Then he pointed to the lilies in the vase and said, "Do you want these kind of flowers?"
Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Anything smaller than this will be fine, but it won't work if it's fully developed."
"Freesias can't bear the tossing. The flower stalks are too easy to break. If they bloom, it will be a disaster if you take them over and ripen them."
"Wait a minute, I'll teach you how to pack flowers and handle fungi to avoid damage."
Chen Yufei looked at Jiang Ancheng. He felt that Brother Niu's skilled tone sounded like he had been in the flower business.
Then I thought about it, selling flowers is not the same as selling mushrooms, they just pack a lot of them. Brother Niu often makes flowers for his sister-in-law, so it is normal to know how to do this.
Sun Xianghong felt that Jiang Ancheng learned from the big bosses in the city, "Okay, then I'll finish it in the village and wait for you at the intersection?"
Jiang Ancheng thought for a while, "No, it's only a few steps away. I'll go to your village first to count the money and give it to you before setting off."
While they were talking, Sun Miaolan and Chen Lijuan were busy in the kitchen, and with a few children helping out, the food was served one after another.
The dishes are quite rich, including minced pepper fish with black bean sauce, roasted duck with bamboo shoots, old hen soup, cold potato and mint ear root, green mango dipped in sea pepper noodles, hot wild weed heads, sausages, bacon and pork ribs, and a particularly delicious plate of fried offal and mixed mushrooms.
It tastes delicious and delicious. Even during the Chinese New Year, I have never eaten such sumptuous dishes.
The children sat down and wowed in unison.
“So many dishes!”
