After spreading the last hole, Shen Yue patted the remaining spore powder on her hands, and began to discuss with her two aunts about the medicinal materials grown at the foot of the back mountain, and also set the price, which was five kilograms more than the market purchase price. arts.
Although the growth cycle of puffballs is short, it is not enough to just plant this one type.
Shen Yue then took out a bunch of seeds that had been prepared in advance, including Ganjiang, Huang's, Gastrodia elata, etc., which she had selected as medicinal materials with short growth cycles and suitable for planting in black soil.
"Auntie, I have sorted these seeds according to type in advance. They are almost the same as the way we planted puffballs just now, except that they no longer need to be blocked and can be exposed to sunlight. Moreover, these are some medicinal crops with a short growth cycle, and the profits will be faster. Some." Shen Yue placed the seeds in front of the two aunts and explained with a smile.
Later, Shen Yue informed the two aunts of some modern technical methods for growing medicinal materials. The medicinal materials grown in this way are both powerful and effective, which can greatly reduce unnecessary losses.
Hearing Shen Yue's words, the two aunts became obviously excited, "Yue'er, you just handed over such an important technology to your aunt so casually, this..."
The planting techniques of the drug dealers are all in their own hands and they will never be easily taught to others. Now that Yue'er casually told them such an important technique, the gratitude in the hearts of the two aunts is self-evident.
Usually, if they want to grow medicinal materials, they have to do it all on their own. They have to sell them to pharmacists at low prices, and they can't make much money in a year.
And if it is true as Yue'er said, then just growing medicinal materials can meet all the family's expenses every year.
Immediately, the two aunts also expressed their attitudes and vowed not to tell others about this technology.
Shen Yue took the hands of the two aunts and said, "I know how good the two aunts are to me. I don't just come to you as soon as I have an idea in my heart. This technique is not absolute. Each kind of medicinal material requires the same technique. The methods are different. If the two aunts have a good relationship and are good-natured, you can let them plant it together, and I will harvest it together."
"Yueer still wants to expand the cultivation of medicinal herbs?" Aunt Gu asked.
She had a candidate in mind, but she only wanted Yue'er to nod before telling her this technique.
Shen Yue nodded, "I have such an idea, but I must have a good heart. If the two aunts have someone to choose, they can come to me to get the seeds. I will have to let the two aunts tell me how to plant them."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. We won't leak this planting technique easily. When you think it's good, I'll teach you." The two aunts promised, with firm expressions on their faces.
Shen Yue smiled. She believed in the two aunts, but it was best to bring them to her first so that she could recognize them.
After the matter of planting medicinal materials was settled, Shen Yue felt a lot more at ease. She would not be controlled by others because she had medicinal materials in her hands.
After a few more greetings, Shen Yue took Luo Qingjiu and prepared to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Shen Yue paid five taels of silver to one person in advance as an advance payment, and he would refund the excess and make up for the remainder when the harvest was harvested.
However, there should be no refunds.
The two aunts held the silver coins in their hands and were even more grateful. They just expressed their intention to make friends with the Luo family, but they didn't expect Yue'er to give them such a big surprise.
Yue'er is such a thoughtful child...
"By the way, where are the aunts digging for medicinal materials in the back mountain? I have been there once before and found no medicinal materials. Some wild vegetables along the way were also picked and there were very few left." Before leaving, Shen Yue suddenly thought of this. , and immediately asked.
"You should not have gone into the deep mountains. After passing the ancient poplar trees, go all the way to the right. The areas there have been cleared by hunters. There is no danger and there are many medicinal materials." Aunt Chen told Shen Yue everything she knew.
Shen Yue understood that she didn't go deep into the mountain last time, so she didn't gain much. With the information provided by Chen's aunt, she also wanted to go into the mountain to have a look, maybe there would be unexpected gains.
It was just that it was getting late today, and it would probably get dark before she even entered the mountain, so she decided to go another day.
After thanking the two aunts, he took Luo Qingjiu and went home.
…
Luo Family Courtyard.
Luo's mother had been tying her knots in the yard while enjoying the cool air. This new pattern was much more expensive than the previous ones. After tying these knots, she could buy beautiful clothes for Yue'er again.
Hearing the sound of two children playing outside the door, Luo's mother quickly stood up to greet them.
Unexpectedly, the two of them brought back a lot of things.
Luo Qingjiu carried a basket full of vegetables on her back, and each of them held a large black tree root in their hands.
Luo's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked about Luo Qingjiu's waist injury.
"It's okay, I've recovered. Mom, don't worry about me, I can survive." Luo Qingjiu shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Hearing this, Luo's mother felt relieved and sighed at Yue'er's extraordinary medical skills while helping to pack things.
Shen Yue went into the house and changed into a short shirt that was convenient for working. Luo Qingjiu wanted to help, but was ordered to study hard in the house.
…
Shen Yue entered the kitchen and started to get busy. She had to go to town tomorrow and things had to be prepared in advance.
The glutinous rice that has been soaked in advance is already in a ready-to-cut state, making it easier to steam.
Put the cloth on the pot, put some remaining glutinous rice flour and red beans into the pot and steam them together.
Instead of buying mugwort, Shen Yue planned to make glutinous rice fruit directly. The taste is almost the same as that of Qingtuan.
The glutinous rice is also very delicious. If you add some orange filling and red bean filling, the taste will be great.
Time passed little by little, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of glutinous rice.
Shen Yue gently opened the lid of the pot and scooped out some. It was already ripe and could be used to make wine.
However, not having koji is a very tricky thing. We can only rely on the finished wine to drive the formation of aspergillus, and I don’t know if it can be done.
Shen Yue first put the glutinous rice aside to cool, and then began to process the glutinous rice flour to prepare glutinous rice fruits.
The orange pulp that was used to make orange-stuffed kudzu powder is still there, and with the addition of sugar, it becomes a sweet and sour orange jam, which also has a unique flavor when wrapped in glutinous rice fruit.
The same goes for red beans, mash them into pieces, then add sugar to make red bean filling.
The preparations are done, let’s start packing!
Shen Yue's skillful hands flew up and down, and in a short time she had six glutinous rice fruits filled with orange fillings and six glutinous rice fruits filled with red bean fillings.
There is also a special one, wrapped in small sweet dates!
The glutinous rice fruit was ready, and the glutinous rice had dried to the point where it was not hot to the touch and was slightly warm. Shen Yue put in the two remaining small bottles of wine at home and stirred them together evenly.
Then put them one by one into a large vat filled with water, poke a large round hole in the middle, cover the lid, and prepare for fermentation.
Fermentation will take one night, and the temperature cannot be too hot. The wine jar must be placed in a cool place for storage.
