Chapter 99 Gotta seize the opportunity

Jiang Ancheng stood up, poured out the large flower mushrooms in his back basket, and while picking out the miscellaneous mushrooms, he said to Chen Yufei: "It will take some time for the export of mushrooms to recover. Boss Hua will not accept our mushrooms for the time being. It costs 10 cents per pound."

Selling it to Boss Fei is better than letting it rot in the mountains, and Boss Fei told me that in a few days, he will collect other mushrooms from us, so we can make some money."

"Okay, then sell it!" He said so, and Chen Yufei picked up a large matsutake about nine centimeters, but he still couldn't help feeling regretful.

A dime a pound, what a pity.

He sighed heavily, helped sort out the fungi, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want me to take away?"

Sun Miaolan came out at this time and said with a smile: "I picked some nectarines, you can take some with you. Your brother brought a lot of vegetables yesterday, so I won't prepare them for you today."

Chen Yufei said happily: "Keep it for the little fish to eat."

"He won't stop talking all day long, and we can't live without him." After thinking about it, Sun Miaolan said to Jiang Ancheng: "Our hydrangeas are also blooming well, do you want to cut some?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "The front yard looks bare if it is cut, but some of the backyard can be cut back."

Sun Miaolan picked up the scissors and said: "The branches will have to be pruned after two days of blooming. It's better to cut them all off and sell them. The remaining ones will bloom slowly."

Chen Yufei said happily: "Brother Niu wants to leave them for my sister-in-law to enjoy. We don't lack these flowers either, so don't cut them."

Sun Miaolan suddenly understood what Jiang Ancheng was thinking. She paused to cut the branches, and said shyly with a look on her face: "Okay, then don't cut it. The gardenias and jasmine in the field can be cut after all. They have bloomed in the past two days."

Well, at least I can get a big bundle."

Chen Yufei gave Sun Miaolan a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law is really so virtuous!"

Sun Miaolan chuckled, "I'm going and I'll be back soon."

Jiang Ancheng stood up and said, "I'll go."

"That's okay." She said, not having time to spare, "I'm going to pick up eggs. Recently, a chicken kept running out of the fence. It's back. I'll go see if it ran up the mountain to lay eggs later."

"good."

Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei came to the vegetable field. Gardenia and jasmine were fragrant and beautiful, with strong aroma. For a while, they didn't know whether jasmine or gardenia smelled better.

"Daddy daddy!!!"

Xiao Yuer and a group of friends came out of the forest on one side, holding a handful of acid poles in their hands.

Xiao Yuer handed a sour stick to Jiang Ancheng and said expectantly: "Dad, eat it!"

Sour stalks are the Japanese knotweed that will be rampant in the Kingdom of the Sun in the future. They are sour, a bit like lettuce with smaller bites. They can be eaten as fruit or stir-fry. The locals often tear off the stem bark and dip it into chili noodles or eat it.

Eat with honey tempeh.

Jiang Ancheng took the sour stick, and Xiao Yuer stuffed another one in front of Chen Yufei, saying very generously, "Uncle, eat it."

Chen Yufei took it and laughed, "I haven't eaten this stuff for a long time. My uncle always mixed it with it when he was a kid."

Chen Yufei took a bite and narrowed his eyes due to the sourness, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's too sour."

The children laughed, and Tiedan even took a few bites, specially eating it to show Chen Yufei, who was not afraid of sourness at all.

Tiedan asked enthusiastically again: "Uncle, do you want us to help?"

Both jasmine and gardenia are edible. He thought Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei were collecting vegetables.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and shook his head: "No, let's go play and pay attention to safety."

"Okay, then I'll take my brother to catch frogs!"

Xiaoyu'er had eaten braised frog meat once. It was tender and fragrant, and even more delicious than chicken. His eyes lit up immediately and he couldn't wait to slide off Jiang Anshun, "Dad, I'm leaving!"

The children came like the wind and ran away like the wind.

Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei finished the sour stalks in several bites and threw them aside. They quickly broke off the gardenia and jasmine stalks and packed them into a bundle with hemp rope and returned to the yard.

Li Shengli showed up with Yi Weimin who had changed into clean clothes. Seeing that they had made a bundle of jasmine and gardenias, Yi Weimin picked up the jasmine buds that fell on the ground and said with a smile: "It smells so good. I want to take this to the city."

For sale?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Yeah." He asked Yi Weimin, "Are Mrs. Song and Miss Song going back to the city with Yu Fei?"

Yi Weimin said with a smile: "We want to stay here for a few more days, take photos and feel the nature. I wonder if it will disturb you?"

"Of course, our whole village welcomes you."

Sun Miaolan came back from picking up eggs. Seeing Yi Weimin and the village chief coming, she hurriedly went into the house to wash some fresh nectarines, plums and tomatoes and brought them out, "Eat whatever you want, they are all freshly picked."

Yi Weimin politely picked up a nectarine and said politely: "Thank you."

Sun Miaolan smiled and said: "You're welcome, they are all worthless things."

Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei counted the matsutake mushrooms, and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou also carried the matsutake mushrooms over.

Yi Weimin watched Jiang Ancheng weighing Uncle Zhou, and bent down to take a look, "This fungus is really good, do you want to wait until it is sold before sorting it?"

Last time I saw the exported mushrooms Jiang Ancheng sold to him, they were all the same size.

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "This is sold to a food factory to make fungus paste. It is purchased at a fixed price, not based on size."

Yi Weimin was suddenly surprised and asked again: "The food factory must have a lot of demand, why only accept these?"

After asking this question, Yi Weimin felt that he had spoken a little presumptuously, and looked at Jiang Ancheng apologetically.

Jiang Ancheng didn't think anything of it, "It's a small food factory. We don't need much at the moment, but we may need more in the future. I heard that mushroom paste is quite popular."

Jiang Ancheng is also very capable. Not only can he find matsutake exporters to sell the mushrooms, but he can also sell normal-looking mushrooms to food factories.

Yi Weimin smiled and said with emotion: "That's great. If the food factory collects more, your income will be stable."

Jiang Ancheng nodded and looked at the basket Yi Weimin brought. There were several orchid plants and dendrobium branches in it, "Do you need me to help Mr. Yi plant orchids?"

Yi Weimin nodded implicitly, "These orchids are precious. I'm afraid that if I don't handle them properly, I won't be able to grow them. I wonder if it will bother Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and shook his head, "It's not troublesome, it's just that I don't have any extra flower pots at home."

Li Shengli hurriedly said: "I have clay pots at home, I'll go get some."

"Well, orchids are best suited to grow in clay pots and clay pots."

After a while, Li Shengli brought some brand new pottery basins.

The orchids in Yi Weimin's basket are all beautiful. The most rare ones are the two lotus petal orchids, and one is a goldenrod, which looks like a pink red crab with teeth and claws. It is very distinctive and unforgettable at first sight.

A wine glass lotus that looks like a white jade carving looks like a fake at first glance. The appearance of these two orchids, in modern times, would cost at least over one million yuan per plant.

Jiang Ancheng admired it for a few times, then picked out a pottery pot of suitable size and got up to get the orchid nutrient soil he had prepared earlier.

Yi Weimin followed Jiang Ancheng, passed through the main room and kitchen, and came to the backyard. When he saw a series of orchids planted casually in front of the laundry table, his jaw dropped.

"Boss Jiang, you are really a master of showing off your abilities!"

Jiang Ancheng filled the nutritious soil and said with a smile: "They are all inconspicuous orchids. I dug them up and planted them randomly, but then I dug them back and planted them. They are not as good as those that grow randomly."

Yi Weimin's eyes lit up again, "Boss Jiang has planted other orchids?"

Jiang Ancheng pointed to the roof casually and said nonchalantly: "Well, it's up there."

Yi Weimin stood outside the eaves and looked up. Oh dear, eight pickle jars of different sizes were neatly planted with different varieties of orchids.

There are two pots of rare orchids that were just planted. The flowers are blooming so vigorously that I almost forget that I am a precious orchid.

Yi Weimin didn't care about being polite and climbed to the hillside in front of the sink, just in time to fully appreciate the beauty of these orchids.

He said with full praise: "Boss Jiang was really too humble just now!"

None of the orchid plants he had people take care of in the flower room were as good as the one Jiang Ancheng was raising now.

There was a spring sword with a flower shape that he had never seen before. The flower buds were round and full, and the brilliance was restrained like uncarved jade. It was charming and graceful, and its beauty was breathtaking.

Yi Weimin wished he could move all these orchids back to his home garden.

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "Planting orchids is addictive. If you keep growing them, you will get more and more."

Yi Weimin nodded in agreement. He just couldn't walk when he saw the beautiful orchids.

He tentatively asked: "Boss Jiang, can I part with this orchid?"

He was referring to the most precious Spring Sword and Red Sun here.

Jiang Ancheng vaguely remembers that in 2004, a spring sword red sun sold for the highest price in the history of the orchid, a sky-high price of 9.3 million yuan per plant.

At that time, he was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw the news on TV, he and Sun Miaolan regretted that the Spring Sword and Red Sun they had planted before should not have been given away.

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "I've had it for a long time, and I feel a little reluctant to let it go."

Yi Weimin really liked this Spring Sword plant. He hurriedly said: "If Boss Jiang is willing to sell it, the price is not a problem."

Jiang Ancheng had decided to take out a loan to buy a house, and the remaining money he earned was enough to spend it. He declined politely and said, "Let me think about it."

Looking at Jiang Ancheng's expression, Yi Weimin knew that it probably wouldn't work.

But he was very happy to be able to see this orchid today.

Yi Weimin asked Jiang Ancheng: "Can I take some photos of your orchids?"
