From flowering to harvesting, it takes almost a month for ice powder seeds to be harvested.

By the time it comes tonight, it must be about the same, although this thing will have to be dried for a while, and it can't be used immediately, but this will definitely not delay anything, and I still have a lot of things to do.

When Xu Yi went to the food market, he was actually going to buy some calcium lactate.

Soon Xu Yi found a store specializing in food fillers, and directly asked about food-grade calcium lactate, and the boss said that they were all sold in bags, not in small quantities, and a bag was twenty-five kilograms.

Xu Yi had no choice but to nod helplessly, he originally wanted to buy three or five catties to try first, and just like Yan Peimin didn't use much toothpaste when he was in the civil market yesterday, when can he use such a bag!

After inquiring about the price, the boss quoted a bag of four hundred and fifty yuan, Xu Yi bargained several times, and finally won it at a price of four hundred and twenty yuan, and when he paid the money, Xu Yi also asked the boss to directly use the company's letterhead to open an invoice for himself, this thing must be used in the store in the future, so there is nothing wrong with doing so!

Of course, this price is not cheap, but Xu Yi didn't care much, after all, if you really sell ice powder, no matter how many dollars it is priced at, it is always quite a lucrative thing, so why should you care about this cost.

If you really want to save this money, if you use lime, it is cheap, and you will always be unable to get rid of what happens, which is the same as seeing a doctor, if the patient has any mistakes, if there is something completely unregulated in the medical operation, then I am afraid that many hospitals will lose money, and the doctor himself will be punished.

If you think about it this way. Xu Yi even felt that it was a very correct thing for him not to agree to Lang Qingwen at the beginning.

Put the bag directly on the back seat of the car and ask the boss to find two nylon straps for him. Xu Yi left the store.

Thinking about Yan Peimin kneading this thing with a handkerchief, Xu Yi felt that if he used cotton things. It must be difficult to clean after a long time, and the ice powder seeds contain sugar and even color and other things, and after a long time, I am afraid that this thing is always difficult to solve whether it is disinfected or cleaned, which undoubtedly makes the ice powder without heating process in the process of making zuò greatly reduced in safety.

Xu Yi thought about it for a while, and then went to the place where the filter was sold and bought more than ten meters of nylon net, and asked the store to help cut it into small pieces of suitable size, and the remaining half was reserved for its use, loaded it up and left.

This thing is durable and doesn't break easily, even if it does. The cost of this small piece is only two or three yuan, just throw it away.

Xu Yi finally left the market with a hint of disappointment and rode towards the flower and bird market.

He wanted to find some fresh mint, and of course it would be better if he could sell the seeds or seedlings, at least if he didn't buy it, he had to know the price.

But after turning around, except for seeing dried mint for sale, I didn't see any fresh mint at all.

If it's not too late. He also thought about going to the wholesale vegetable market again, maybe there would be one.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that he had still made a mistake, and there was no need for him to buy mint. Even if you don't buy it, you have a good way to hide it!

At the end of the day, it's just a grass that's relatively easy to reproduce. In my hometown, there are many places in the wild where you can see the shadow of mint. You can grow some in your garden.

Aromatic plants like peppermint are both traditional Chinese medicine. It is also used as an ornamental plant by many people, so it will definitely be sold in the flower and bird market.

After Xu Yi entered the market and turned around a few stores, as expected, many people have this thing.

But after seeing the mint, Xu Yi didn't know if it was a problem like the variety or something, many things were different, and Xu Yi couldn't make up his mind, could it be that there were many varieties of this thing, so which one was more suitable?

Xu Yi found a relatively large store with good business, which seemed to be specialized in aromatic plants, and walked in. After shaking for a while, he saw that the store was not so busy, so he told the boss his doubts.

The boss smiled and said that there are many varieties of mint, and it is also very confusing, in fact, it can be divided into two categories according to the ingredients, one is the spearmint-type varieties that do not contain menthol, and the other is those that contain menthol, in fact, no matter which one is edible, let Xu Yi taste it himself and look at the taste he likes.

After picking up a few kinds of mint and tasting it, Xu Yi fell in love with a kind of mint called peppermint, the stems and leaf veins were purple, Xu Yi talked to the boss about the price, bought twenty pots in one go, and asked the boss to help send them to the warehouse.

A pot is only ten or twenty yuan, and buying more at one time can naturally greatly speed up the speed of mint breeding.

Subsequently, Xu Yi went to the market to buy some shade nets of various specifications, as for the bracket, he didn't need it, there were so many bamboo poles in his space, and it was enough to break a few with a firewood knife.

Seeing that it was not early, Xu Yi moved the mint to the warehouse, sent the delivery guy away, and directly put all the things in the warehouse into the space, and hurried home.

While it was not yet completely dark, Xu Yi processed the pickles and cherry wine again.

The color of the pickles hasn't changed much, but a faint aroma has begun to appear, and it won't take long to take it out and steam it to dry. The weather is hot, not only are the dried plum vegetables pickled well, but the two bottles of cherry wine are also not bad.

The inside of the bottle turned completely purplish-red, and if it weren't for some of the pits and flesh that looked white in the bottle, it would have looked like a large crystal clear ruby. What pleased him even more was that when he opened the lid, the aroma was even more intense than last time, and it looked like the wine was close to full maturity.

After dinner, Xu Yi entered the space.

Walking to the edge of the ice powder seed field, Xu Yi found that the fake sour pulp, which had grown waist-deep, was covered with lantern-like fruits that were slightly smaller than eggs, and some of the outer layers had become golden.

Xu Yi reached out and gently touched a golden fruit in front of him, but the fruit fell from the root of the fruit stalk at once, and it was obvious that the fruit was fully ripe.

Peeling off the skin that looked like papyrus on the outside with great interest, Xu Yi saw that inside the small lantern was a ball larger than the nail of his thumb, which was also golden yellow, and the seeds could be seen wrapped in the same translucent, jelly-like pulp inside the translucent skin.

I gently pinched the unusually smooth peel with my hand, which was cool and elastic.

Xu Yi turned around and took the basket, picked all the ripe fruits, and soon collected most of the basket of ice powder fruits.

Carrying the baskets back to the workbench, Xu Yi peeled off all the skins on the outside of them and poured them into the bamboo plaque, as if a layer of crystal clear pearls of the same size were laid on the bottom of the bamboo plaque. (To be continued......)
