Chapter 334 Osmanthus
Fresh shiitake mushrooms are thick and tender, with a soft and smooth texture and a full flavor. They go great with any dish.
A little Tremella was also harvested, but Qiao Xuan confiscated most of it and kept it for use as a base to extract spores and mycelium to cultivate more.
At this rate, we will be able to have a big harvest of Tremella fuciformis in less than two months.
Before we knew it, the osmanthus flowers had quietly bloomed.
There are also more than two to three acres of osmanthus planted in Qiao Xuan's flower field, but because they are all relatively small, even though she has exerted some supernatural powers, the growth rate of these osmanthus flowers is more than twice as fast as normal, they are still not big, and naturally there are fewer flowers.
Qiao Xuan thought that if she exerted her supernatural power now, the number of these flowers should be able to double.
When the flowers bloom better, spread a clean blanket on the ground, shake down the osmanthus flowers, and extract the essential oil, which can be used to make lipstick.
Keep the extra ones and make perfume later.
Although there are not many osmanthus flowers in her flower field, there are osmanthus trees planted in the open spaces in front of many houses in the village. Some are decades or even decades old, with thick branches and cloud-like crowns. The golden flowers on the trees almost cover the green leaves, and the refreshing floral fragrance can be smelled from a long distance away.
Seeing that more and more flowers were blooming, Qiao Xuan simply bought osmanthus flowers from those families.
Three cents per pound.
People plant osmanthus trees at their doorsteps, firstly for good luck, and secondly because the dense tree crowns can provide shade and coolness in the summer, and the flowers in the fall smell nice. No one ever thought that they could be sold for money.
Three cents per pound was not a small amount, and the villagers were very happy to have osmanthus flowers to sell. After hearing the news, they took the initiative to run to the Shao family's main house to find Qiao Xuan.
They rushed to accept it, fearing that Qiao Xuan would not accept it when it was their turn.
Qiao Xuan was eager to collect more osmanthus flowers.
The more essential oils extracted, the better. Osmanthus can also be used to make osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, osmanthus pie, osmanthus sauce, and can be dried and used as fillings for various snacks, porridge, and various sugar waters. It can also be used to make tea or wine.
Wash the fresh osmanthus flowers, add them to honey and seal them to get the fragrant osmanthus honey.
It’s a pity that there is no lotus root, otherwise I could make osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root.
In short, osmanthus is a treasure.
Qiao Xuan assured everyone that as long as someone wanted to sell, she would buy it no matter how much.
So he took Yang, Xiaoqi, Taotao and other families to collect them one by one.
After cleaning the ground, they spread a clean blanket around the tree. Shao Sanlang climbed up the tree and shook the branches gently. Then golden osmanthus flowers fell like rain, with a fragrant smell.
Then use a small broom made of reed grass to gently sweep them together, and then carefully put them into the basket.
Collect flowers in the morning and process them in the afternoon.
Several families have huge osmanthus trees, and each family can harvest more than 20 kilograms.
Twenty jin costs sixty cents.
The villagers were very happy to get some money for free.
There are also two large osmanthus trees in front of Widow Sun’s house.
She did not take the initiative to express her intention to sell osmanthus flowers, and Qiao Xuan did not go to her house.
This person is very mean. Her mother-in-law had quarreled and fought with her before. Even if Qiao Xuan wanted osmanthus flowers again, she would not take the initiative to go to Widow Sun's house to ask.
As for Widow Sun, she couldn't bring herself to look for Qiao Xuan, and she was also somewhat jealous and resentful.
Widow Sun was expecting Qiao Xuan to come to her house on her own initiative, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't show up. She became a little impatient.
There were two large osmanthus trees in front of her door. They were both golden osmanthus, with tiny golden flowers blooming in layers. The two trees together weighed at least twenty kilograms.
