Chapter 98 Don’t worry

Jiang Ancheng followed the sound, and Chen Yufei and his party soon came into his sight.

They were all in good spirits, but they looked a little embarrassed while marching in the rain.

Chen Yufei discovered Jiang Ancheng and shouted excitedly: "Brother, why did you go into the mountain?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Boss Fei ordered the mushrooms and came back to collect them. I was wondering if I could meet you." Then he looked at Yi Weimin and asked, "Mr. Yi, have you photographed the ghost orchid?"

Yi Weimin's eyes showed a hint of unfulfilled interest, and he smiled happily, "I took the photo, it's quite beautiful. I also took photos of many other types of orchids. When the photos are developed, I invite you to appreciate them together."

"Okay, the photos Mr. Yi took will definitely amaze the world."

Yi Weimin turned around respectfully, took the basket full of orchids from the bodyguard's hand, took out a handful of beautiful dendrobium flowers, and asked Jiang Ancheng, "Boss Jiang, have you ever grown dendrobium? Everyone says that dendrobium is not viable."

.”

What Yi Weimin is holding is a flower of Dendrobium officinale. It has light yellow petals and a little red in the center. It looks very similar to an orchid. It is a precious Chinese herbal medicine of the genus Dendrobium in the Orchidaceae family.

Wild Dendrobium officinale grows on tree trunks in cliffs and forests, and its output is very rare. It has been listed as the first of the "Nine Chinese Immortals" by our ancestors for more than a thousand years. It has unique medicinal value and health effects.

Therefore, it has been extremely popular in all dynasties and is known as "Qianjincao" and "soft gold".

There are many varieties of dendrobium in their local area. Because of their high medicinal value and great reputation, the number of wild dendrobium has declined sharply in recent years.

In order to prevent the wild dendrobium from becoming extinct, villagers will consciously pick only part of it and leave the rest to grow slowly.

Wild dendrobium was very expensive before the 1990s, but after the 1990s, artificially cultivated dendrobium began to take shape, and the price of dendrobium quickly dropped.

The market price of freshly picked dendrobium in 2022 is only 300 yuan per catty, which is cheaper than many wild mushrooms.

The flowers of Dendrobium are very beautiful. Some varieties, such as Dendrobium nobile, bloom like a group of flapping fairy butterflies.

Some of them, well maintained, can form a spectacular waterfall-like scene.

In 2022, in addition to the large-scale cultivation of medicinal dendrobium, dendrobium flowers have also become an important part of the flower market.

In their village, wild dendrobium stems can be used to prepare medicine, and dendrobium flowers can also be made into scented tea, soups, juices, flower cakes, etc.

Jiang Ancheng had wanted to find some good dendrobium plants before and tried to plant them. He looked at the dendrobium flowers in Yi Weimin's hand and smiled, "Did you pull out the roots?"

Yi Weimin shook his head, "I was afraid that the seeds would not survive, so I didn't uproot them."

Chen Yufei interjected: "I got some dendrobium branches, can that work?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "You can try to see if you can grow roots."

In his previous life, he was chatting with people at the flower market. He already knew by heart how the bosses of dendrobium flowers propagated high-budding dendrobium seedlings.

Yi Weimin's eyes lit up and he asked again: "If the dendrobium with roots is pulled back, is it more likely to be successfully planted?"

When Yi Weimin learned about the medicinal value of dendrobium from villagers for the first time, he realized that if dendrobium could be cultivated artificially, the economic value it would bring was not inferior to the export of matsutake mushrooms.

The key is that Chinese people recognize its medicinal value, and there is no need to spend a lot of money on publicity. As long as you grow it, you can make huge profits.

Of course, since no one has grown it before, it means that this thing is really difficult to grow.

He also saw the growth environment of dendrobium, either on cliffs or on tree trunks covered with moss.

These two characteristics alone are very difficult for people to figure out.

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "It should be easier to plant dendrobium if it has roots."

Li Shengli also suddenly became excited, "Can it really be planted?"

Precious Chinese herbal medicine is definitely more profitable than growing flowers.

If a project like this is recognized by the government, it can also provide strong financial support.

Of course, Jiang Ancheng couldn't say that he would be able to grow it. After all, no one in the village had ever grown it before.

"You can try it. It's similar to an orchid. If you control its growth habits, you should be able to grow it."

There was a hint of confidence in Jiang Ancheng's words, and Yi Weimin immediately said: "Then let's go back and dig some dendrobium?"

Song Lingjun gave Yi Weimin a strange look, "Boss Jiang still wants to dig for mushrooms, and he's not in a hurry."

Song Xueyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The red panda has to go back to drink milk."

Jiang Ancheng's eyes fell on Song Xueyao's arms, and when he met a pair of ignorant and clear black eyes, he asked unexpectedly: "Did you catch him?"

Song Xueyao shook her head, "I didn't catch it, I picked it up in the woods. It's so pitiful, it seems to have been abandoned."

The red panda is a very cute animal. Its whole body is covered with long reddish-brown hair. People in the village call it the fire fox.

It is fluffy and has a big tail that is as long as its body and looks very similar to a cat. It is so cute that after being discovered by a foreigner, it was named Red Panda.

Abroad, it has a relative called Little Raccoon, who wears the mask of a gangster and exudes an aura of wretchedness.

The number of red pandas has dropped sharply in recent years, firstly due to hunting, and secondly due to widespread impacts on their habitats.

Jiang Ancheng remembers that the Wildlife Protection Law was promulgated in 1988 and came into effect in 1989.

Hunting is completely prohibited, and the protection of wild animals is strengthened, and wild animals are not allowed to be illegally raised.

Jiang Ancheng frowned, "Miss Song, do you want to raise it?"

Song Xueyao liked it so much that she hugged it along the way. She fed the small fruits that Chen Yufei picked to the little panda.

She asked nervously: "Can't I raise it?"

Jiang Ancheng thought for a while and said, "This little thing specializes in eating bamboo, wild fruits, and small insects. If you take it back, you may not be able to feed it." After saying this, he took a water bamboo shoot from his back and peeled off the skin.

Son, take out a bamboo shoot heart as thick as your finger and put it in front of the red panda.

It was not yet weaned, and its fur was grayish-yellow. It sniffed the bamboo shoots, stretched out its paws to take it, and nibbled it tentatively.

The red panda that was working hard was so cute that Song Xueyao's heart melted. She couldn't bear to part with it and said firmly: "Can't I have someone buy bamboo for it?"

"Prepare fresh ones every day! And it's so small. If you put it back, it won't survive."

Song Xueyao's family has money, and even if it goes through a lot of trouble, maybe this little panda is lucky.

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Then just keep it, Miss Song. Its claws are quite sharp, so be careful not to let it scratch you."

Song Xueyao became happy and touched the red panda's ears gently, "No, it's so cute."

Chen Yufei looked at the matsutake mushrooms in Jiang Ancheng's back and said to Li Shengli: "Brother Niu and I will dig for mushrooms together. You guys go down the mountain first."

Just as Li Shengli was about to nod, he was also very interested in matsutake. Yi Weimin, who wanted to know more, said, "We are not in a hurry and dug down the mountain together."

Everyone helped dig matsutake mushrooms, and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou's baskets were quickly filled.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain, Li Shengli picked a nest of chanterelles and found a Polygonatum odorifera plant next to it.

He took a small hoe and dug it up. Yi Weimin asked eagerly, "What is this?"

Li Shengli dug out the roots of Polygonatum japonica and found something like ginger. He said with a smile: "It's Polygonatum japonica. This stuff can replenish vitality and cure gray hair. My mother wanted to dig up a few and go back to make Polygonatum japonica ointment, so I happened to find it."

"

Yi Weimin's eyes lit up, "No wonder your villagers have such black and shiny hair."

Chen Yufei interjected: "We are the recipes left by our ancestors, and you can use them too."

Yi Weimin became interested and laughed and said: "Then we must take some back when we leave. My mother will be very happy to receive it."

Li Shengli agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll do it for you when I get back."

Everyone was paying attention to Polygonatum japonicum while going down the mountain. Song Xueyao suddenly found one, pointed in front and said, "Is that Polygonatum japonicus? The leaves look a bit like it."

Just as Jiang Ancheng was about to walk over, Song Xueyao suddenly screamed, jumped up and hugged the red panda and hid behind Jiang Ancheng, trembling and saying in fear: "Poisonous spider!!!"

Jiang Ancheng looked up and saw a flower spider the size of a bird's egg hanging on the spider web.

He laughed and said to Song Xueyao: "Don't be afraid, this is not poisonous and can be fried. It is very fragrant."

Song Xueyao didn't believe that such a scary spider could be eaten, and she shook her head timidly.

Chen Yufei stretched out his hand and pulled the flower spider down, and said with a smile: "It's really not poisonous. We grew up eating it. When fried, it's crispy and fragrant, just like eating peanuts."

Song Xueyao and Song Lingjun showed frightened expressions that they could not bear to endure. Yi Weimin smiled and asked: "Is it really edible?"

The next second, Chen Yufei pulled off the spider's legs, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "It's really edible. The flower spider with eggs tastes better. It squeaks and bursts into pulp."

Song Xueyao and Song Lingjun frowned fiercely. They couldn't imagine that Chen Yufei had eaten it raw.

Yi Weimin gave Chen Yufei a thumbs up, "You are so brave!"

Chen Yufei smiled nonchalantly and said: "What's this? Children in our village eat all kinds of bugs since they were young. Grasshoppers, spiders, bamboo worms, silkworm chrysalis are all common, and there are also honey ants, sweet

It's sizzling, like eating candy."

Chen Yufei wanted to continue, but was pulled away by Jiang Ancheng, "Okay, let's go back."

If they continue talking, Song Xueyao and Song Lingjun will probably be unable to hold back their vomiting.

Chen Yufei followed Jiang Ancheng home. Jiang Ancheng put down the basket on his back, took out the rose note that he had fed in the basin yesterday, and said to him: "I collected some roses from Uncle Wen. You can see how to take care of the branches. It's easy to teach me."

Zeng Yilin.”

Chen Yufei nodded, "Just scrape off the thorns and scatter them."

"Scrape off the thorns and leave the leaves on them. It won't look good if the leaves are all scraped off. If the flowers bloom, you can tear off two stale outer petals."

"Oh oh oh."

After Chen Yufei learned it, he remembered and asked: "Brother, Boss Fei asked us to collect the mushrooms for only ten cents per pound. Isn't it too cheap? Boss Hua wanted to talk to you, what did you say?"
