Chapter 100: Honeysuckle
The old man couldn't see anything, but he seemed to know everything in the house, and he picked up the teapot as soon as he reached out, picked up the cup with the other, and poured the tea very quickly.
"Little brother, let's have a cup of tea first! ”
If Heaven takes away some of your things, it will inevitably compensate you in another.
This is the case with the elderly, who have lost their eyes and have a better sense of hearing. In addition, he is still an old man and has experience, and he has already practiced the eyes of "seeing" people's hearts.
Listening to Zhang Fan's voice, she could tell that this was a kind young man.
"The old man is polite, I'll just come. Zhang Fan walked over quickly and took the teacup with both hands.
Seeing that the little girl also greeted him timidly, Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, habitually reached into his pocket, and found that there were no snacks with sugar, which was slightly embarrassing.
After returning to his hometown, he often frequented the commissary, and would bring some small snacks with him, and distribute them to the little ones in the village from time to time, especially Wang Ling's daughter.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhang Fan changed the topic and looked at Yang Yuqing: "Are there many honeysuckles?"
Honeysuckle, blooming in March, five out, slightly fragrant, pedicle with red, the color of the flower is white at the beginning of the flower, and the color is yellow after one or two days, so it is called honeysuckle. And because of one pedicle and two flowers, two stamens poke out, in pairs, inseparable, like male and female accompaniment, and like mandarin ducks dancing together, so there is the mandarin duck vine called.
Honeysuckle has been known as a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying since ancient times. It is sweet and cold and fragrant, sweet and cold and clear heat without hurting the stomach, and the aroma is thorough and can dispel evil. Honeysuckle can not only dissipate wind and heat, but also be good at clearing blood toxins, and used for various heat and venereal diseases.
He seemed to have heard that there were a lot of wild honeysuckles in Tengyun Village. If not, he knew how to help the family.
Sometimes, with your own efforts, you can help a family get out of trouble, so why not do it? What is the Virgin Mary or not, it does not matter what others evaluate, the key is to be worthy of your own heart.
Yang Yuqing was stunned for a moment: "Brother Zhang also wants honeysuckle? You can take some away, there are so many on the mountain, I'll pick them back and dry them later." ”
She thought that even if she repaid Zhang Fan for sending their sister and brother home for free.
Zhang Fan shook his head: "If there are many mountains, you can try to pick them back and dry them, notify me when they are dried, or send them to Zhangjiazhai, and I will help you find a buyer." I don't dare to say it, forty or fifty yuan per catty can still help you fight for it. ”
As soon as the words were spoken, Yang Yuqing's family looked at them suddenly, including the old woman who was already blind.
Yang Yuqing's lips trembled a little: "You... Are you serious?"
She couldn't believe that honeysuckle was like a weed in their village, and if it was valuable, it would have been picked a long time ago, right?
Villagers used to pick and sell, but the amount purchased by pharmacies was pitiful, and even the owners of other pharmacies could go to the wild to pick them, so why spend money to buy them?
Zhang Fan can only say that the owner of the pharmacy in the town will not make money at all, or he has no eyes to find business opportunities.
It's no wonder that there are only a few pharmacies in the town, and almost all of them are old men. The old man's information can't keep up with the times after all, and their desire to make money may be dull.
Zhang Fan smiled: "Can you still lie to you?" Remember, don't reveal the news for the time being." Your family will make a sum of money first, and your village will definitely know the inside story in the future, and it is impossible for you to eat alone. ”
In this way, the person who eats the first bite of crab is very important to their family.
"Hmm, wait, is Brother Zhang the same Zhang Fan from Zhangjiazhai?" Yang Yuqing suddenly remembered that on the way back, Zhang Fan told them their names, and he didn't pay much attention at that time.
"Is it a college student who brought Zhangjiazhai to make a fortune?" the old grandmother also showed surprise on her face.
If that were the case, they wouldn't have any doubts. After all, Zhangjiazhai made a fortune under the leadership of others, who doesn't know that Zhangjiazhai is now the most high-profile village in the town?
Zhang Fan smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed!"
Next, he told Yang Yuqing in detail about the matters to be paid attention to when picking and drying honeysuckle.
The best time to harvest honeysuckle is early in the morning and morning, when the buds are not easy to open, and the nutrients are sufficient, the smell is strong, and the color is good. The afternoon harvest should be completed before the sun sets, because the opening of honeysuckle is restricted by light, and the buds will open after the sun is too late, which will affect the quality.
"Without young buds, without leaves, put them into a basket of strips or bamboos after harvesting, and should not be piled up in large piles when concentrated, but should be spread out and placed, and the maximum time should not exceed four hours. ”
In addition, do not turn the flowers when drying, otherwise the flower color will turn black and reduce the quality, until ninety percent dry, pick out the impurities of the branches and leaves. Remember, don't put it directly in the hot sun, just like it is right for you to dry outside under the eaves. ”
……
Yang Yuqing listened very carefully, she understood that whether this family could change or not depended on this opportunity.
She didn't expect that she was so lucky to meet the rumored Zhang Fan in Zhangjiazhai, people know many big bosses, and it is easy to sell crops.
Since Brother Zhang said that honeysuckle is valuable, then eight or nine is not far from ten.
She must seize the opportunity, and before the other villagers can react, she will pick those honeysuckles once, and how much she can earn.
She has suffered too much, she has to take care of her blind grandmother, and let her two younger siblings live a better life, and she is frantically telling her to seize the opportunity.
"Brother Zhang, is there anything else?"
Zhang Fan thought for a while: "That's pretty much it, after you dry it, go to Zhangjiazhai to find me." ”
"Girl, the burden on your shoulders is not small. After this trip to honeysuckle, I'll tell you a way to make a living. Don't worry, life will be fine. Zhang Fan sighed in his heart.
In fact, there are many such families in China. It's okay if he hasn't encountered it, but since he has encountered it and has the ability to change, he doesn't mind making a move.
The old people kept thanking them, their faces were full of joy, and they looked forward to a better life in the future.
"It's not early, I'll go back first, so I won't disturb you. Zhang Fan didn't stay long, politely declined their invitation to dinner, and said that he would talk about it later.
The old man didn't say a word, he went to the chicken coop next to the house and caught two chickens and two ducks, and asked his granddaughter to put them in a snakeskin bag and stuff them into Zhang Fan's car.
The only thing their family can do is their own chickens and ducks.
Zhang Fan reluctantly accepted it, rural people are almost like this, it is easy to remember your goodness, and you can't resist your enthusiasm.
As soon as he left, Yang Yuqing took a trip to the mountain, observing first, and not in a hurry to pick it right away. Zhang Fan's words were kept in mind and she would go back tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, she felt a lot lighter, more relaxed than she had ever felt before.
