In the mountains, colorful butterflies are flying, the apricot trees all over the mountain, on the branches, hanging or dried, or yellowing, the smell of wild apricots, there are some varieties of wild fruits on this mountain, are blooming branches, blooming enchanting.

Wild bees compete to suck pollen from each blooming stamen, and the buzzing sound lingers in the ears.

The more Leng Xiaoxi looked at it, the more she felt that this mountain was extremely beautiful, and God really treated her well.

Such a large, undulating, uncultivated, pristine green wetland, high mountain.

If she spreads her wings and digs deeper, the riches will roll in.

Leng Xiaoxi's eyes were bright, and the excitement was overflowing, Ji Boming followed her, and was infected by the glow on her face.

He didn't quite understand, wasn't it just a mountain? Could it be that the wild mountain apricots on the branches of this tree made her so excited?

"Bomin, come and see. Leng Xiaoxi, who was flying in front, shouted excitedly, as if he had discovered something, and looked at him with shiny eyes.

Ji Boming couldn't help but be infected, so he walked over in a few steps.

Looking at the squatting on the ground, excited about the clusters of yellowing flowers, he saw Ji Boming approaching.

Lift her bright face.

"Boming, look, this is Tianzhu Huang. ”

"Tianzhu Yellow?" Ji Boming looked puzzled, these yellow flowers are really all over the mountains, and there seems to be nothing magical about it.

When he was a child, he often went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and someone told him that this kind of yellow flower, people try to touch it as little as possible, and the juice of this yellow flower gets to people's bodies, which will make people's hands and feet difficult, with magic power, it is a ghost flower, and people can't touch it.

"Xiaoxi, don't touch this flower. Ji Boming warned him, and as he spoke, he reached out to pull her up and was still squatting on the ground, her eyes shining.

"Boming, do you know? This Tianzhu Huang is a traditional Chinese medicine, the best medicinal material for anesthesia, and this medicine is what I want to find the most. ”

Leng Xiaoxi said, stretched out her hand, and carefully dug the soil around this Tianzhu Huang, she naturally knew that the medicinal properties of this Tianzhu Huang, she didn't want the juice of this Tianzhu Huang to get into her hands, making her paralyzed for a long time, it would be uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing here?" Ji Boming asked in shock.

"What's the matter, I'm not going to treat you, otherwise, what else can I do?"

Leng Xiaoxi glanced at him disdainfully, and ordered: "Why are you still watching? Why don't you find a few branches and help dig up a few more Tianzhu Huang to go back, is it possible, don't you want your legs to be better?"

Leng Xiaoxi's words made Ji Boming understand afterwards why Leng Xiaoxi had to drag himself up the mountain today, and dared to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Thinking that Leng Xiaoxi was finally going to treat his leg injury, Ji Boming was naturally excited, he hurriedly stood up, raised his hand on the branch, broke off a few thick branches, handed one to Leng Xiaoxi, and held one for himself.

After a while, he and Leng Xiaoxi dug up more than a dozen Tianzhu Huang one after another.

"Xiaoxi, are these Tianzhu Huang enough?" asked Ji Boming.

"Tianzhu Huang is enough, but we can't just use this flavor of medicine. Leng Xiaoxi's eyes were long away, and he looked into the depths of the mountain.

"What else is needed, as long as you say it, I'll get it. ”

The way Ji Boming said this, it was completely the demeanor of a big boy.

Since he understood that Xiao Xi entered the mountain to treat his leg injury, his watery eyes have been full of brilliance.

That look, like this, called Leng Xiaoxi bitter.

Ji Boming is a poor child, he has grown up so big, maybe no one treats him so well.

Ji Boming braided a few straw ropes, tied those Tianzhu yellows, and carried them in his hands.

Ji Boming took Leng Xiaoxi and walked to a higher mountain.

Xiao Xi found several other kinds of medicinal materials in the mountains that could be used for anesthesia, so he followed Ji Boming with satisfaction and walked down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi met many villagers, among whom there were men, women, and elderly people.

All of these people were carrying bamboo baskets, and in the bamboo baskets were placed wild apricots.

When these villagers saw Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi coming down from the mountain, they all thought that they were coming to see the wild apricots, and they all took the initiative to come over to say hello.

"Bo Ming, Xiao Xi, are you here to see this wild mountain apricot?"

"Xiaoxi, Boming, this year's harvest of wild apricots is better than in previous years, you see that the size of this wild apricot is also big, more than thirty is a catty. ”

People raised the wild mountain apricots in their hands, and the excitement on their faces was overflowing.

"Xiaoxi, this is already the second basket, I just sent thirteen catties and got thirteen yuan, you see, this money is still in my pocket!"

The older woman shook her coat pocket as she spoke, and the copper plate inside immediately made a crisp rattling sound.

This voice was inspiring, and those who originally wanted to come over and say a few words to Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi immediately threw themselves into picking wild apricots and walked higher.

"Folks, let's pick the ripe ones now, the wild apricots that are dried into golden yellow are picked, and the wild apricots that are still green are not guarded to stay on the branches first, and wait for a few days, these wild apricots are all ripe and picked, otherwise, these green fruits are picked back, which will affect the color, and you can't get the first-class grade, not to mention, but also a waste of resources. ”

Leng Xiaoxi handed the herbs in his hand to Ji Boming to hold, walked among the villagers, and explained carefully.

"Yes, yes, Xi Niangzi is right, let's pick the ripe ones first, don't even pick this green apricot, in that way, the picking we are thinking about later is afraid that even this green apricot can't be picked." ”

The villagers, who reacted quickly enough, immediately responded with the words.

Looking at these villagers, they are full of enthusiasm for work, Leng Xiaoxi is very pleased, as long as this resource is abundant, everyone's enthusiasm for work has been mobilized, so are you afraid that the silver will not be in your hands.

The two of them happily descended the mountain and returned home.

Leng Xiaoxi hurriedly put these fresh medicinal materials into the jar of pounding medicine, squeezed out the juice, and put it in a small bottle for later use, just after the herbs were added together, Leng Xiaoxi could treat Ji Boming's leg injury.

A few days later, the work clothes that Leng Xiaoxi sent to the workers for processing had all been completed.

distributed it, and personally worked for these people, a preliminary physical examination, Leng Xiaoxi thought that he was in good health, and those who were not sick stayed.

Both men and women wore white coats, masks, and white hats, and no one was allowed to show their hair outside of their hats.

They all wore white gloves on their hands, and even their shoes were covered with white cloths.

Zhang Xiuying and Bi Chuan were dressed in work clothes, behind a long table, one weighing catties and the other paying copper plates, and they were busy in a corner of the courtyard, and the villagers who came to deliver the wild mountain apricots lined up.

On the grass mats on the ground behind Zhang Xiuying, there were piles of wild apricots that looked like yellow mountains.

Over there, Leng Degui was busy collecting wild honey beeswax from the higher mountains from the brave villagers.

The women who came home after eating were busy picking apricots, removing weeds and other things from the apricots, and putting the picked apricots in the basin behind them.

A pot was filled with picked wild apricots, and naturally someone took it aside, and someone over there specially cleaned it.

The men who carried the water were very busy, and on the ground over there, the poured water flowed down the ditch to the outside.

The kitchen was steaming, and the cauldrons were steaming white from the newly built stoves outside the kitchen.

Some people put the wild apricots in the pot that have been washed and filtered with water, and some people are carefully picking up the wild apricots that have been steamed just right.

In the center of the yard, on the shelves that have been set up one by one, there are neat wild apricots in the baskets.

These wild apricots, after drying for two hours, are put into a large urn containing the village green and unpolluted wild honey that has been squeezed out of the juice.

These dried wild apricots should stay in this big urn for 24 hours, then fish them out with a grate and place them neatly one by one in a large bamboo basket.

This is the time when the sun really needs to be dried for a long time.

This process is the most critical, the person who takes care of the drying must endure the exposure to the sun, and must also be patient and careful.

The wild apricot, soaked in wild honey, has to keep flipping, looking at the color, and holding a flaking to keep blasting away all kinds of flying insects, especially flies, that are attracted by this tempting taste.

To this wild mountain apricot from the original child's fist size, until it is dried to be larger than the nuclear head, the color is bright, the hand breaks, this candied fruit can pull out the filament, long and continuous.

After taking a bite, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the sour is sweet with wild honey, this candied fruit can be packed into a small stall one by one, and sealed with a red cloth with ventilation holes.

This red cloth is also exquisite, the red cloth was engraved with the trademark she had thought of in advance, Leng Xiaoxi, as a modern person, naturally knows that if you want to be bigger and do a good job, you must first play the importance of your own brand trademark.

The name of this trademark is 'Xi Niangzi candied fruit', these words are still skillfully engraved on a stone research stone by Ji Boming, and each candied fruit on a jar is covered with this red cloth with a few words.

Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming stood side by side, looking at this busy scene, Ji Boming was naturally happy in his heart.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of merchants who have come from afar to order.

The candied fruit produced is really in short supply, and in the rooms where the four brothers lived in the family, there were always merchants who came to line up.

Leng Xiaoxi stared at this lively scene, and couldn't help but feel anxious. In this courtyard, how can so much candied fruit be produced.

Looking at the men who were carrying water and sweating profusely, Leng Xiaoxi thought that this was simply a waste of resources and useless work.
