Chapter 62: A Hundred Years of Tangerine Peel

Seeing that Yangfan cared so much about that can of things, Xu Ping was also a little curious, and asked, "Brother Yang, what is this?"

"Good thing, Chen Pi, have you heard of it?" Yang Fan said with a smile.

Tangerine peel is very famous in the south, and the reputation in the north is a little weaker, but there are not many people who have not heard of it, right? Tangerine peel is the dried and ripe peel of the rutaceae plant orange and its cultivated variety. Orange peel is used in medicine to be good for those who have been aged for a long time, so it is called tangerine peel and noble old.

"Orange peel, isn't it very valuable?" Xu Ping reacted.

In his understanding, tangerine peel is orange peel. There's nothing wrong with that, that's pretty much it. However, tangerine peel is not an ordinary orange peel after some treatment and a long time of brewing.

It is said that the orange peel selected for tangerine peel is selected and harsh, one out of a hundred, the selected orange, the fruit is large and the skin is thick, the skin is tight and fine, there is no insect maggot mildew, and the one that is just ripe and slightly translucent yellow is better, so that a large number of high-quality oranges weighing 100 catties are selected, only four or five percent, or even twenty or thirty, just like the emperor chooses a beautiful woman to enter the palace.

The selected mandarin oranges, remove the flesh and store the skin, all open into four petals, and connect the pedicles like flowers, remove impurities, and fold them into straw mat bags, indicate the storage year, and store the peel in order of storage.

In addition, the bottom of the peel warehouse is a fir fence, several boiling honey pots at the bottom, refining honey pills day and night, honey has been penetrating into the tangerine peel through the grid-shaped floor for many years, and over time, the appearance of the tangerine peel is like sandalwood, bright like oil, and the inner layer is attached with a thin layer of loose powder that does not fall off.

"It depends on the tangerine peel. Tangerine peel is expensive for a long time, the longer it is, the more fragrant it is, and the more medicinal it is, just like ginseng. This can, I think it is a hundred years old, and it is very rare. The so-called: 100-year-old tangerine peel and 1,000-year-old ginseng! Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that it is precious. Yang Fan had no doubts about the value of this jar of tangerine peel.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the selling price was equal to the price of gold, one tael of tangerine peel and one tael of gold. Tangerine peel was listed as a tribute to the Empress Dowager Cixi every year in Guangdong, and the dignitaries at that time were proud to own Chen Li Ji tangerine peel.

People often hang tangerine peel on the top of the kitchen or in front of the eaves in a ventilated place, or store it with ginger peel. Generally, after a few months or a year, it is rarely stored for 20 or 30 years, and it is even rarer if it is stored for more than 100 years.

"In some shops outside, a tael of tangerine peels that are close to 50 years old can cost 12,000, or even more. Yang Fan gave a specific price.

As for the hundred-year-old tangerine peel, the price will not be said and known, and it will definitely not be simply multiplied by two.

Xu Ping's eyes widened, orange peel is just a hundred years before it turns into gold?

It was hard for him to imagine how difficult it was to preserve the peel for hundreds of years, and if he was not careful, it would be corroded by bacteria and other things, and it would have long since become an antique food.

After Xu Ping heard this, he was very shocked. After messing with Yang Fan, I found that many things in this world are treasures, and I often don't care much about them, they are priceless treasures.

In fact, he also wanted to move out all the old things in his hometown and let Brother Yang see them. It would be a shame if you didn't pay attention that day, felt useless, and threw it away.

When I returned to the villa, I found that Xiaowei's girl was back. However, she did not dare to enter at the door, and the husky was very dutiful to guard there, and it was difficult for all strangers to approach.

"Big brother, you're finally back? How can you have a big dog? It's so beautiful, but it's not close to me. When Xiaowei saw Yang Fan, she immediately complained to Yang Fan.

"Brother Yang bought it a few days ago and brought it home today. This dog is a good dog, and it will be close to it when it matures later. Xu Ping immediately drove away the huskies who were guarding the door.

The husky was very happy to find out that the owner had returned, and ran over affectionately.

Yang Fan stretched out the window of the car, patted the dog's head, and then asked Xu Ping to drive the car in.

And not long after, the sable that ran to play in the forest park next door also ran back. When I saw the big dog in the house, my hair was about to explode.

Both little things regarded the villa as their own territory, and the atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.

Fortunately, under Yang Fan's reconciliation, the two did not attack each other. Don't look at the sable is small, but the attack power is still quite strong, and the speed is fast, and the husky may not be able to respond, so it will tear a claw.

Xiaowei hugged the sable, stroked the fur on its body softly, and asked Yang Fan, "Big brother, how about you say I go to night school?" ”

When she came out of society, she found that she had many shortcomings, she didn't have a craft, and it was a bit difficult to mix well. Some people may not be very capable, but they have a powerful mouth, good eloquence, and are very popular in sales. Xiaowei doesn't think that she is that material.

Without Yang Fan's help, she has not done a single business so far. Let her live a messy life all her life, and it feels too wretched. So, I had an idea in the past two days.

Yang Fan nodded: "It's good that you have this idea, what do you want to learn?"

"I haven't thought of it, big brother, you can help me with some ideas. Xiaowei got Yang Fan's support, and she made up her mind in her heart.

"If you are a girl, translation, accounting, media, etc. are all popular choices, depending on what you like and what you are more interested in, and this big brother can't help you. Or, ask your sister Xiaoqian, she knows better. Yang Fan didn't have a good opinion on this.

"I can't translate in a foreign language. I also thought about accounting, but Sister Xiaoqian told me that the salary of accountants is generally not high now. Is the media a reporter? Can I do it?" In the end, Xiaowei was a little moved, girls, they all like to stand in front of the public and express themselves.

Yang Fan smiled and explained that the media includes a lot, but not just reporters. Girls may be more enthusiastic about anchors, right? In addition, what do you want to be a singer or an actor, etc.! However, that requires a certain amount of talent, or it is not suitable for her, and Yang Fan does not recommend that she mix in the entertainment industry.

"Think about it yourself! Big brother will definitely support you. "Yang Fan is in favor of learning more crafts.

He himself was unwilling to live an ordinary life, so he had the patience to read books in Old Tang's shop, and for three whole years, who knows how much he suffered? At least it was a very boring and boring thing.

Especially when it comes to antiques, just reading a book can sometimes be really maddening, and you don't know what that means.

Seeing that Xiaowei was pondering by herself, Yang Fan did not disturb and moved the treasure into one of the rooms in the basement.

The jar of tangerine peel is not going to be sold, so I will bring a little to the teacher another day, and keep the rest for myself, I will definitely be able to use it. This kind of good thing, maybe you won't be able to find it even if you have money in the future.

Hundred-year-old tangerine peel is almost a national treasure, and as long as it appears, it will basically be hidden.
